......

In the center of the hall, a half-person-high black iron furnace Ding Zheng Xiongxiong burned turquoise, representing the vitality of the wood attributes, in the flame, a five-petal lotus flower that exudes a faint golden light is in the furnace ding, quietly suspended, the lotus sometimes shakes, falls a few wisps of dust, like lotus powder, light and delicate, the pollen gradually tightened, converged in one place, after a long time, it will rise rising, flying out from the gap above the Ding furnace, and finally feel the slow and gentle suction of a figure in the hall, rippling in the past.

Sitting cross-legged in his residence, Ou Chuyang devoted himself to purifying and absorbing the purple mist on the lotus, the real name of the lotus is the five-petal ghost lotus, which is a fifth-level spiritual grass, which is not uncommon on the mainland, but wherever the aura is strong and the environment is quiet, this kind of lotus can grow.

This lotus flower was originally a wood-attribute spiritual grass, but Ou Chuyang didn't know why, but after collecting it himself, he found that the metallic aura contained in this lotus was more than half of the wood attribute. However, this was not the point that Ou Chuyang needed to pay attention to, he was just completely focusing his attention on the purple mist contained on the lotus flower now.

Since returning from the Purple Gold Flower Garden, Ou Chuyang has closed the door of the room and tried all means to try to separate all the purple mist on the lotus flower and use it to restore his strength. However, everything did not go as smoothly as Ou Chuyang expected. I don't know what the reason is, the purple mist and the aura in the lotus flower seem to have been fused, even though Ou Chuyang is in the realm of an eighth-level Dan Master, it is difficult to extract it.

After thinking about it carefully, Ou Chuyang finally planned to use the method of alchemy to collect the aura of the purple mist, but in this way, Ou Chuyang found that it was impossible to separate the two auras at the same time, and the aura of the purple mist and the lotus flower was too compact, so that if the heat of the flame was used too much to separate, it was very likely to cause excessive consumption of the two aura, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

After a hundred careful and careful experiments, Ou Chuyang finally discovered the characteristics of this purple mist, it needs a one-degree heat flame, this heat needs to be light and gentle, and it can't cause too much damage to the lotus, which is also a flame scorching alchemy, extracting medicinal power is the opposite thing, and even this is a great test of fire control ability. Fortunately, Ou Chuyang's fire control ability is extremely strong, and he doesn't care whether the medicinal power of this lotus flower is well preserved, he only cares whether this purple mist can be separated from this lotus.

In the end, Ou Chuyang finally found the meeting point of the flame concentration, and then he slowly extracted the purple mist in the lotus flower.

After several hours of scorching, Ou Chuyang extracted part of the purple mist from the lotus flower with great difficulty, and this part of the mist was less than one percent compared to the purple mist aura contained in the lotus itself, which was too difficult.

"Whew~"

Once again, he successfully extracted a small amount of purple mist, Ou Chuyang inhaled it into his body, and felt that the origin purple qi separated it, and after a slight recovery, Ou Chuyang finally gave up this impractical, clumsy and laborious method.

Standing up slowly, Ou Chuyang extinguished the turquoise flame in the furnace with a wave of his hand, took out the five-petal ghost lotus, held it in his palm and stared at it for a while, sighing quietly.

"Is it so difficult that I have to wash in the gold washing pool?" Ou Chuyang muttered.

"That's it, let's finish this month's share, and then study the secret of this purple mist later. ”

Thinking of this, Ou Chuyang walked out of the door.

The purple gold flower garden where the fairy mist rises is extremely lively today, and dozens of Dan masters who have taken refuge in the Xu family have come to the flower garden early in the morning, each collecting the spirit grass needed to refine the golden spirit pill.

Ou Chuyang had long been familiar with the materials needed to refine this golden elixir, although he didn't know who had developed this supreme elixir that could improve the internal qi of the Xu family, but he still admired this strong man who had invented such a pill, you know, without the gold washing pool here, it would be impossible to remove the purple mist on the spirit grass, and there would be no way to successfully become a pill.

Walking slowly in the sea of spiritual grass all over the mountains, Ou Chuyang found a distance where few people set foot and stopped, leisurely collecting spiritual grass.

At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded behind Ou Chuyang. The voice was full of disrespect, and even deliberately embarrassed.

"Hey, you're in the wrong place. ”

Ou Chuyang looked back and saw that there were two old men who were about half a hundred years old, these two people were full of red light, and even the wrinkles were covered up by the powerful strength.

Ou Chuyang stood up straight in confusion and said coldly, "What is going in the wrong place?"

One of them on the left said, "This is our territory, where are yours?"

The man pointed towards the relatively scarce place in the distance, and said disdainfully.

Ou Chuyang looked at it and sneered in his heart: It seems that Bu Gong is right, this small Wancaotang is really divided into two camps, and the two people in front of him should be the Danshi under Wang Chao. Yesterday in Wancaotang, he didn't give Wang Chao face, and almost won their hall master, but when he met here today, it seems that he was deliberately looking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Ou Chuyang sneered, leaned down and continued to collect without replying: "If I remember correctly, this purple gold flower garden should be surnamed Xu, who are you, and what power do you have to dominate this place?"

The man sneered: "The surname of the Zijin Flower Garden is correct, but this place is under the control of Elder Wang, and naturally has the power to control how the spiritual grass here should be divided, as for you to remember, my name is Xiao Ju, and I am the deputy hall master of Wancao Hall." ”

"Deputy Hall Master?" Ou Chuyang raised his head, looked Xiao Ju up and down, and then said painlessly: "I haven't heard of it, I only know two elders in Wancao Hall. ”

"Bold. Hearing this, Xiao Ju let out a loud shout, which immediately attracted the attention of all the Dan masters who came here to collect spirit grass.

Countless footsteps slowly approached here, and then Ou Chuyang heard Xiao Ju's annoying voice like a fly again: "Since you have come to Wancao Hall, you must obey the orders of Wancao Hall, I am the person appointed by the hall master, so I naturally have the power to control you." If you don't listen, don't blame you. ”

"You're welcome?" Ou Chuyang sneered, patted the dust on his hands, and said with a smile: "What's the unkind method?"

Ou Chuyang sneered and looked directly at Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju also sneered, and then said loudly: "Li Tian." ”

With Xiao Ju shouting, a figure flashed behind him, and came to Xiao Ju's side with an evil smile, and said respectfully: "Deputy hall master." ”

"Yes. Xiao Ju glanced at this person named Li Tian, and said flatly: "How long have you been in the gold washing pool?" ”

Li Tian replied: "Fifteenth." ”

"It's been half a month. Xiao Ju sighed, pretended to calculate, and then said: "In this case, your task period is also over, and the next days will be handed over to Qingyi." ”

When Li Tian heard this, he thanked him happily, and then Xiao Ju turned his head and said to Ou Chuyang: "From today onwards, you are responsible for supervising the gold washing pool all day, well, you are new here, you should familiarize yourself with it, just thirty days, this is a good task, you can rest assured, you don't have to complete the share this month." ”

As soon as the onlookers heard Xiao Ju finish speaking, they looked at Ou Chuyang with the same pitiful gaze, and the Dan masters in Wang Chao's camp secretly rejoiced and snickered one by one, as for those Dan masters who voluntarily followed Yu You, they all shook their heads and sighed, although they were very upset that Ou Chuyang had offended this villain, but they still didn't have the courage to refute it in time. After all, Xiao Ju, the deputy hall master, is the manager jointly appointed by Wang Chao and Yu You, and he only has such a small authority. It is also used to exclude dissent.

In addition to the guards of the Xu family, there must be two Dan masters every month to assist in taking care of the affairs there, preventing anyone from secretly collecting too much high-grade spirit grass. And this system is a rotation system, two people at a time, each person is responsible for half a month, which is also half a month to let those Dan masters have time to refine the Golden Spirit Pill, which can be said to be quite reasonable.

However, how could everyone have thought that this Xiao Ju was so ruthless, and let Ou Chuyang stay in for a month at one time, although Xiao Ju's words testified, Ou Chuyang didn't have to worry about this month's share, but it was all-weather, how could Ou Chuyang have the opportunity to come out to collect his three spirit grasses, so offending Xiao Ju, the villain, was indeed Ou Chuyang's most unknown practice.

How did they know that Ou Chuyang didn't understand the rules here at all, and the Bu Gong who was sent by Yu You to tell Ou Chuyang about the rules here didn't care about this, and he wouldn't have thought that Ou Chuyang would offend Xiao Ju as soon as he came.

Listening to Xiao Ju's words, although he didn't understand the meaning, the all-weather, thirty-day vocabulary was an indisputable fact, and with Ou Chuyang's astuteness, he could naturally understand that this was not a good task, so Ou Chuyang couldn't accept it.

"Why should I listen to you? Ou Chuyang said.

"Wow"

As soon as Ou Chuyang said this, everyone suddenly gasped. The Xu family has strict rules, that is, the subordinates must absolutely obey the superiors, although Xiao Ju is just a small deputy hall master, entrusted to Wang Chao and Yu You, but after all, he is also the top boss of these Dan masters.

As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and no one in Wancaotang has never dared to listen to Xiao Ju's words, because they all know that refusing Xiao Ju's assignment is equivalent to disobeying the order of the hall master.

"It's pretty. Everyone was shocked to think that all the Dan masters in Wang Chao's camp were looking forward to Xiao Ju's move.

Xiao Ju is the pinnacle of martial saint strength, and he is only one step away from the realm of martial arts, and he has not made a move for a long time, everyone recalls that the last time Xiao Ju subdued a Danshi who disobeyed him, it was a few years ago, and that Danshi was instantly broken by Xiao Ju's arms, and he did not recover after a few months.

Now~ the green light flashed on Xiao Ju's body, and bursts of compelling momentum continued to be released, looking at Xiao Ju who was about to break out, the Dan masters of Yu You's camp all sweated for Ou Chuyang.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. All the onlookers immediately retreated, leaving a small place for the two of them in this purple gold flower garden.

Looking at the other party's rising internal strength, Ou Chuyang's face was full of disdainful smiles. Just kidding, a peak martial saint can scare Ou Chuyang? Of course it's impossible.

Ou Chuyang didn't move, the internal qi in his body was not released, he was like an ordinary person who didn't learn martial arts, quietly looking at Xiao Ju, waiting for him to make a move.

With Ou Chuyang's thoughts, although he needs to hide his strength in this Xu family, the gap between the seventh-level Martial Saint and the peak Martial Saint is not large, even if he is defeated, no one will investigate it at all, as for the fact that he must make a move, Ou Chuyang is thinking about his own future.

On the second day after he came, someone was looking for his own trouble, if he didn't teach this Xiao Ju a good lesson, I am afraid that everyone would come to bully him, that kind of trouble, Ou Chuyang didn't want to encounter it every day, so Ou Chuyang was ready to make a move.

Today's Ou Chuyang is no longer the strong man who still has the same attitude towards martial arts as ordinary people, in the battle with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Ou Chuyang fully experienced the good effect of internal qi restraint, he knows that the internal qi acting on the body is far stronger than the external release, and this kind of use of internal qi can also be extremely subtle to confuse the enemy, let him know that he is in a weak position, in order to achieve a good effect of surprise.

Although Ou Chuyang has not yet fully comprehended the mysteries, and it is impossible to maintain this attitude for a long time, he has long memorized the use of this internal qi, and it will not take too long to deal with people like Xiao Ju.

The internal qi rose one after another, and Xiao Ju's momentum became incomparably majestic and majestic with the blooming of the internal qi, on the contrary, Ou Chuyang, who was opposite to him, was introverted and indifferent. That scene, as if a martial arts master was facing a powerless scholar, made people laugh when they saw it.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to think that Ou Chuyang is really powerless, they can only think that Ou Chuyang is intimidated by Xiao Ju's power and has lost the will to fight in the face of strong pressure.

Just when the two are facing each other-for-tat, the big war is about to begin. Suddenly, a rapid shout came from afar.

"Stop. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked into the distance in surprise. I saw Bu Gong accompanied by Yu You and Wang Chao and rushed over in time.

Bu Gong ran two steps quickly, pulled Ou Chuyang over, and said in a low voice: "Why did you get on a bar with him?"

Ou Chuyang shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't want to, he has to find fault." ”

In fact, Bu Gong had already seen Ou Chuyang and Xiao Ju quarreling from a distance, and he reflected quickly, knowing that Xiao Ju's status was far above him, so he hurriedly returned to Wancaotang and found Yu You, Wang Chao was also present at that time, and the two immediately rushed over when they heard that there was a dispute within Wancaotang.

At this time, Yu You and Wang Chao also came to the two of them, Wang Chao glanced at Ou Chuyang and Xiao Ju with his cold face that had not changed for thousands of years, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

When Xiao Ju heard this, he flatteringly walked to Wang Chao's side and told the story of the incident.

After listening to this, Wang Chao suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Hmph~, let people see jokes here, what kind of system, Qingyi, why don't you listen to Xiao Ju's control." ”

He had long understood that Xiao Ju was Wang Chao's person, and Ou Chuyang also expected that Wang Chao would ask himself first, so he was not too surprised, but said flatly: "Why should I listen to him?"

"He is the deputy hall master here, and his orders are those of me and Elder Yu. Wang Chao said angrily.
