Immortal Formula

   Chapter 86 The City Lord's Mansion

   These Gu Yan naturally don't know, nor does she know that there are two influential people in the city who are thinking about dealing with her. At this time, she was most concerned about the foundation building. Since she tried her best to control the flames of two different attributes in the magic circle, she felt that she had a faint sign of a breakthrough, so after returning, within a few days, she began to retreat. Ming Wuwang found an underground quiet room for her. Gu Yan's retreat took three months.

   There is only one thing that makes her very regretful. When resisting the five elements of divine light in the magic circle, she tried her best to control the flame, but the lamp was scrapped because it couldn't bear the surging aura. The entire lamp body was burnt to black, and the base that had just been obtained had also lost its luster, and the black layer outside seemed to have been refined. With the mottled and black and white colors inside, Gu Yan felt a little helpless. This item was the first fire spirit weapon she got, and it seemed to be completely useless.

   The feeling of wanting to break through this time does not seem to be as strong as the previous few times. Unlike the previous few times, it was all triggered by some chance, which gave Gu Yan a strong urge to break through the realm. This time, it seemed like a matter of course. Naturally, during the retreat, Gu Yan nourished her meridians and allowed the infuriating qi in her body to flow naturally. Then she discovered that, before she knew it, her realm had been completed again. A breakthrough is a big step forward from foundation building.

   When she left the customs, Ming Wuhuang was very surprised. Gu Yan had reached the eleventh level of Qi refining, and she was only one step away from the perfect state of Qi refining. He exclaimed and said: "Your entry is really fast, even better than Wufang!"

  Gu Yan smiled, "As a loose cultivator like me, I have no sect to rely on, and I don't have extraordinary talent. I have always been trembling and relying on the word diligence."

   What she said was true. All along, in her practice, she has always been down-to-earth, one step at a time, without any opportunism. To say that she has taken some shortcuts is nothing more than using some less spiritual stones than others.

  Ming Wuwang sighed and said, "You are only one step away from foundation building. It's just that after foundation building, together with alchemy, don't let it go to waste."

Gu Yan smiled and said: "Listen to what you said, it seems that I am about to succeed in foundation building. It is not uncommon for qi refining cultivators to be able to refine qi to perfection, and foundation building is successful, but only one stop out of ten stops. The real request The way of immortality, how can it be so easy!"

  Ming Wuxiao smiled and didn't speak. He pointed to the pill furnace and said, "The golden scale sturgeon is hard to find after all, and the rest of the materials are almost ready for the fire. It's better to start pill refining after half a month."

Gu Yan nodded slightly, "Brother Ming will be troublesome this time." Although her alchemy skills are also very advanced, she has been able to refine some middle-grade elixir such as Yiling Pill, but the technique is still not enough. She is a bit jerky. She only has one material for refining the pills needed to build the foundation, and she can't make any mistakes.

   Mingwu nodded his head, "I've been able to introspect this, you can rest assured."

  Gu Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "After refining the three medicinal herbs, I may go to Licheng, find a place, quietly retreat, and wait for the foundation to be established."

  Ming Wuwang's body shook slightly, "Are you going? Guanque City has the Lin family in town, which is an extremely safe place in the North. It's near the Arctic Icefield, and there are many monks coming and going, but it's not so peaceful outside."

Gu Yan bowed slightly, "Thanks to brother Ming's care. It's just that the foundation building is too important, and Gu Yan still wants to meet this challenge alone." She said in a small but firm voice, " Even if you fail, you won't regret it!"

  Ming Wuxuan fell silent. They were both not good at words, but they were able to understand each other's thoughts. He turned around and said indifferently: "I will start the alchemy in half a month, and then I will still need your real fire protector. In about a month, I will be able to make the alchemy. I will send you when that time comes."

   In the past two weeks, Gu Yan no longer focuses on cultivation, but prepares to refine some ordinary medicinal pills for the sake of ignorance. On the one hand, he is familiar with the techniques of alchemy, and on the other hand, he also adds some inventory to him. So that after he left, he would start the days when he had no pills to sell. So the loose cultivators around found that the female cultivator who had not appeared a few days ago, for some unknown reason, was now selling her medicinal pills in the store again. The popularity of this small shop has begun to flourish again.

  Tomorrow is the day to prepare for alchemy. Ming Wuliang has already made all the preparations, and all the materials have been divided into portions, waiting to be put into the alchemy furnace tomorrow. Gu Yan sent off the last guest, prepared a big sign with the word rest, and put it outside. Then take the door panel and prepare to close the door.

   There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, Gu Yan frowned, she suddenly felt her heart skip a beat for no reason, as if something was about to happen.

Gu Yan put the door panel under her feet, then opened the door. She saw two monks in armor with majestic faces. Both of them were in the realm of perfect qi refining. Gu Yan.

   One of them said, "Your surname is Yan, and you are from overseas?"

  Gu Yan nodded, "I don't know who you are, why are you here?"

   Another monk said: "Who brought you here to this city?" His voice became more and more severe, "Why is there no talisman issued by the guards of the city!"

   Gu Yan said lightly: "I came with Yue Mingge, a disciple of the Shangqing Palace, and entered the city together. There is no jade talisman."

   The man frowned slightly when he heard the words "Shangqing Palace disciple" and turned to look at his companion. Then he said, "You are refining medicinal pills and selling them here, what's the matter?"

  Gu Yan nodded, "That's true."

   The man's face turned cold, "Someone ate the medicine pill you sold, and something went wrong, go to the City Lord's Mansion!"

  Gu Yan couldn't help being a little stunned. What she sells is only some middle and low-grade medicinal pills such as nourishing qi pills and Yiling pills, which are only used by ordinary monks to replenish vitality. After all, the people who take it are cultivators, not mortals who will vomit and vomit when they eat a bad stomach. What will happen?

When the two saw her suspicious eyes, they shouted, "Someone has sued you in the City Lord's Mansion. If you want to tell the difference, go there and talk about it!" The chain was thrown out of his hand, and he was about to lock Gu Yan's arms.

  Gu Yan stepped back and said, "The two of you will take someone without questioning indiscriminately. It may not be a bit arbitrary. I'm afraid City Lord Lin will need to find an arbitration for this matter!"

   Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, they did not dare to act rashly, and said, "Since fellow Daoist is interested, just follow me!"

   At this time, Ming Wuxuan walked out of the store. When he saw the clothes of the two people, he was shocked and said, "Why are the two guardians of the city master's mansion here?"

   One person said: "Law enforcement disciples act, nothing to do with others and retreat!"

  Ming Wuwang took a step forward, blocked half of Gu Yan's body behind, and said, "I am the owner of this shop, you can talk to me if you have anything."

  The disciple was slightly taken aback and said, "Since you are the owner of this shop, let's go for a walk together!"

   After all, Gu Yan had to be much calmer, so she pulled Ming Wuliang's arm and said, "Brother Ming, the situation is unknown. When we get to the ground, let's be smart."

   The two followed the two law enforcement disciples to the City Lord's Mansion. Really tall and majestic, the weather is strict. Unlike the mansion of ordinary monks, it is more like the place of the official government of mortals.

  Two disciples led them in through a corner door, and then walked through several corridors. The people in the city lord's mansion are all monks, most of them are qi refining disciples, all with serious faces, walking in and out, not talking to each other, showing an extremely depressing atmosphere.

The two passed through the triple corridor, and then came to a side hall. The side hall looked very deep. There was a chair in front of it, and a monk led by Eguanbo sat on it. The disciples stood there. Gu Yan remembered what he saw in the Fan family, these immortal cultivators really all had the same style.

   The cultivator was not tall, and he was very kind. Seeing that both of them came in, he gave the two law enforcement disciples a slight nod, and then said in a calm voice, "I am under Lin Ruohai, and I am in charge of Nancheng. Who is the fellow Daoist surnamed Yan?"

Gu Yan took a step forward, Lin Ruohai nodded, "Someone sued you in the place under the jurisdiction of this deacon, saying that the Yiling Pill you refined was not hot enough, the erysipelas was not clear, and it was taken when you were advancing, resulting in poisoning. Do you know this?"

   Gu Yan was a little stunned, she looked at Lin Ruohai's unwavering face, and said, "I don't know about this, please ask Deacon Lin to explain it in detail."

   Lin Ruohai waved his hand, the corner door on the side opened, and then walked out a fat man with a smile on his face. It's just that his expression now looks very sad, but the smile he was born with can't be lingered, so the expression on his face is like crying but not crying, and it is very strange to laugh but not laugh.

   After he walked in, he first gave Lin Ruohai a salute, and then looked at Gu Yan with glaring eyes.

  Gu Yan seems to have some impressions of this person, and once bought several bottles of Yilingdan in her store. She was very angry when she saw this man's eyes, as if she was going to be eaten alive. He looked at him coldly.

At this moment, the fat man looked at Gu Yan angrily, and said, "My junior brother will soon advance to the fifth level of qi refining, because the pills in your shop are cheap, and they will be used to replenish vitality during retreat. Who knows after eating them. , but died of poisoning. You pay for his life!"

Lin Ruohai said: "This person's junior brother ate the Yiling Pill you sold, and then when he advanced to the rank, the erysipelas attacked the meridians, causing the poison to die. According to the experience of the alchemist in the City Lord's Mansion, it was indeed erysipelas that killed him. Have something to say?"
