Fairy cage

It's night, and the night is extremely beautiful.

A white moon, round and soft, white and tender, plump and pleasant,

As dawn approached, Yu Lie opened his door in high spirits and entered his bedroom.

However, he did not lie down immediately to catch up on his sleep. Instead, he took out something from a place in the house specially used for hiding treasures.

This object is shaped like a lotus, with a whole body made of bones. It looks full of a different kind of beauty. It is Yu Lie's lotus alchemy furnace.

Yu Lie looked at the alchemy furnace and carefully inserted his consciousness into the alchemy furnace, but was immediately forced out by a sharp sword intent.

He wondered in his heart: "We have already left the foreign world, how come after all these days, there is still no movement from Shihanzi?"

When meeting Luo Sen and Miaom just now, Yu Lie took out the lotus alchemy furnace and placed it in an empty room. Now that he comes back, he will check this thing immediately.

But it is a pity that no matter whether he is talking to the alchemy furnace or extending his spiritual consciousness, there is still no movement inside the alchemy furnace.

If it weren't for the fact that the surface of the alchemy furnace was still filled with sword shadows and the sword intent inside had never dissipated or faded, Yu Lie would have doubted whether Zhi Hanzi's residual thoughts had escaped from the alchemy furnace and fled to other places. .

"That's all, let him go. If he wants to make a noise, he will do so when the time comes."

Yu Lie thought for a while and felt helpless, so he put the alchemy furnace in his sleeve and stored it.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a small, crystal-clear sword from his other sleeve. This sword was the sword embryo differentiated from Shi Hanzi's golden elixir.

Before Yu Lie left the foreign world, he put this object into a bronze wine cup. After he left the world of experience and no Jindan Taoist came to search for him, he released the sword embryo from the bronze wine cup in time.

This sword embryo is really magical. It stayed in the wine glass for a long time. If it were an ordinary thing, it would have been purified into a pool of spiritual energy.

But the object only shrank a few times. Although it became only as big as Yu Lie's little finger, its shape was not damaged.

It's just a pity that the idea of ​​Shihanzi in the sword embryo has been destroyed, and the sword intention left in the sword embryo has naturally disappeared and does not exist at all.

In other words, the sword embryo in Yu Lie's hand now is more like a rare piece of rare material, rather than an inheritance of swordsmanship.

Fortunately, Yu Lie didn't care much about this. The inheritance in the sword embryo was left by Shi Hanzi, who was now in his alchemy furnace.

If he wants it any day, he has plenty of ways to get it. And to be honest, if he wasn't completely sure, Yu Lie would really not dare to inherit Shihanzi's sword inheritance easily.

Otherwise, if the opponent falls into a trap, he will suffer a big loss.

Thinking silently, Yu Lie thought again: "But this thing is so precious and impossible to exchange, so it's better to use it as soon as possible."

Not long after, he thought of a good way to use sword embryo materials.

The words "Embryo Technique" appeared in Yu Lie's mind again. The White Bone Lotus Alchemy Furnace was made using this method.

This method not only includes the steps for refining eighth-grade blood weapons, but also has methods for refining seventh-grade soul weapons.

Yu Lie originally chose this method so that his own artifacts could be promoted and used in the future. The main focus was on growth.

At present, with the quality of the Bone Lotus Alchemy Furnace, it is quite a long way to go from an eighth-grade blood weapon to a seventh-grade soul weapon.

But Yu Lie thought: "If this sword embryo material is refined into my alchemy furnace, this furnace must be able to cross several levels in one breath, and it can also reach the seventh level.

Moreover, the most important thing in the Embryo Technique is to cultivate and refine spiritual materials. Although the sword embryo is put into the furnace, it is also the sword embryo being refined in the furnace. If I use this thing to build a foundation in the future, I can save many years of warming and maintenance..."

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Lie came to his mind. He no longer planned to refine the new sword into a sword, but to integrate it into the existing alchemy furnace.

And he thought about it carefully, thinking about the remaining thoughts of Shi Hanzi, who was currently living in his alchemy furnace.

He used the sword embryo to sacrifice and refine it, just in time to test Shi Hanzi, and maybe he could refine his own alchemy furnace into a sword furnace, which would add a lot of magical effects.

Thinking of this, Yu Lie was in high spirits. He immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, and the Taoist basket appeared above his head.

Whoosh.

I saw the rest of the Yin Shen, instantly following the flow of dragon energy everywhere in the palace, they rushed towards the Daolu Courtyard.

The next moment, he transformed into a Yin God and appeared in the ghost market, swaying swaggering towards the Chuan Gong Pavilion.

Since you want to refine a weapon, you must have the steps to do it.

Yu Lie currently only has eighth-grade Embryo Art in his hands, not seventh-grade ones. Fortunately, after he was promoted to the seventh level, he had an opportunity to redeem the martial arts books.

After entering the Chuangong Pavilion, Yu Lie suddenly felt that the pavilion was mysterious.

As soon as his Yin Shen entered it, he was in a trance, but some of his usually stagnant thoughts became smoother and gave rise to a lot of insights.

Under the guidance of an old man's voice, Yu Lie easily found the seventh-grade embryo secret he needed.

As soon as his mind moved, Chuan Gong Pavilion imprinted the magic formula firmly in his mind in a dream-like way. The process was so mysterious that it was difficult to describe. It was far from being comparable to jade slips and other objects, at least. It saved him more than half of his initial enlightenment efforts.

After obtaining the magic formula, Yu Lie's Yin Shen returned and stayed peacefully in the courtyard, trying to figure out the magic formula, trying the secret method, and polishing the foundation together.

Among them, he told Rosen and others not to disturb him unless there was no big deal. Even if there is a banquet in Hehuan Building, you only need to send him a note one day in advance to let him know.

Luo Sen and Miaom naturally agreed, and after some discussion, the two women decided to leave one person in the yard every day to protect Yu Lie. As for the store, only one person is needed to visit the store. .

Just when Yu Lie was happily trying to figure out the secret method, in just a few days, there was already an undercurrent surging in the Tao Palace.

………………

This day.

In a certain area of ​​the Taoist Palace, a Taoist wearing a mask was practicing in his room.

But suddenly, she frowned slightly, called out her Taoist instrument, and took a look at the message transmitted through the secret method of dragon energy.

After reading silently, the man's frown deepened: "Investigating Yu Lie and Zi Zhuzi...there must be no mistakes?"

After thinking for a few times, she suddenly stood up and thought to herself:

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, I thought you had turned the tide in your training and had entered the eyes of the upper echelons of the Taoist palace. But I never expected that you would be spotted by that gray-bone Taoist master again. You are not a good person. ah."

Under the cover of the wide robe, this person's figure could not be distinguished as male or female, but if Yu Lie were here, he would definitely recognize that this person is a female at a glance.

Because this person is his Taoist friend She who loves to show off his mask to others.

However, the name written on the urn above She Shuangbai's head is not "She Shuangbai", but only two characters - his name is "Zhe".

Zhe suddenly thought of something. She read the mission assigned to her carefully again. After pondering for a moment, she used the secret method of dragon energy to secretly transmit the message to several colleagues.

Not long after, when the news came back from colleagues, they all felt strange and strange, and they all said that the mission was not issued by the Taoist master himself.

A sneer suddenly appeared on Zhe's face, and her eyes fell on the person in charge of the mission in the secret message:

"What a great Zhu Laozi. He was drained of his soul by the Gray Bone Taoist a few days ago. He hasn't recovered from his injuries yet. Now he's jumping up again. He also wants to lay out the overall situation and kill the Zi Zhuzi lineage. Catch them all in one fell swoop.”

Thinking of this, the sneer on the folded face became even more intense, and he cursed unceremoniously:

"Idiot! You, a mere Zhu family, have such a foundation and have survived for thousands of years. You have made such a big mistake and only fell down a few small levels. You are really a direct descendant of the palace, but you are so easy to bully and push back. You Aren't you afraid of being used as a gunman by that old guy from Gray Bones and sold out?"

After sneering, Zhe suddenly narrowed his eyes again and thought to himself:

"Since this idiot is acting like this, why not come and show your kindness to Zi Zhuzi, so that I can get closer to this lineage."

She immediately took out a secret transmission note and wrote a lot of content on it.

But when she was about to send it out, Zhe paused slightly, and her fingertips turned, erasing the three characters "Zizhuzi" on the transmission note and replacing it with the two characters "Yu Lie".

The woman deliberated and checked several times, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. She immediately put on her cloak, quietly left the Taoist palace, came to a corner of the Taoist city, and sent out the transmission talisman.

What Zhe was thinking about was that Zi Zhuzi, as an "orphan", had been living well in the Qianzhou Taoist Palace so far, and at a young age, she was already a Taoist priest in the Ningsha Realm.

In her opinion, most of these things do not require her as a small official to inform the other party, and someone will naturally inform the other party.

Therefore, instead of taking the risk to remind Zizhuzi, she might as well remind Yu Lie directly, and then hint Yu Lie to inform Zizhuzi.

This move has two advantages. First, Yu Lie is someone she trusts, so the risk of exposing her should be minimal; second, according to what was mentioned in the mission, Yu Lie seems to be worshiping the purple candle. Now that Zi is a teacher, asking Yu Lie to remind Zi Zhuzi will undoubtedly make Zi Zhuzi trust him more, and it will also increase the possibility of Yu Lie being trusted by Zi Zhuzi.

In this way, she can not only help her Taoist friend, but also increase the possibility of getting close to the direct lineage of the Taoist palace!

So that night.

After Yu Lie finished practicing, he unexpectedly found a note handed in from outside by Luo Sen, as well as a secret message.

Through the door of the quiet room, Yu Lie sent a message and asked Luo Sen outside the door: "Where does this letter come from?"

The answer outside the door:

"I don't know. The letter was delivered directly to the store, and Sister Miao just got it back. There is only the word 'old friend' left on the surface of the letter."

Yu Lie nodded and signaled Luo Sen to go ahead and get started.

He himself was pondering in his mind, thinking carefully about who this "old friend" could be.

However, Yu Lie's time in the city was not long, and there were not many people in Qianzhou Daocheng who could be called his old friends.

Soon, a name popped into his head, making him feel happy:

"Could it be that after this incident, my reputation gradually increased, and Taoist Fellow She was in the city, and she also knew my information and wrote a letter specifically?"

Although he was looking forward to it, Yu Lie carefully took the letter, cast a few spells, and tested the strange letter before inputting his own energy and unfolding the letter.

As he expected, lines of text appeared in the air, starting with the words "A letter is like a meeting, sincerely sincerely."

But after reading a few sentences carefully, Yu Lie's joyful mood fell instantly, and his face became extremely gloomy.

He grabbed the letter and watched coldly as the words on the envelope disappeared one by one. In the end, only a blank piece of paper was left, and he burned himself.

What was stated in the letter was exactly what She Shuangbai knew. Zhu Laozi was sending people to investigate Yu Lie.

"What a thief!"

Yu Lie cursed loudly: "You are a Taoist priest, but you insist on coming to find out what I am doing!"

Cursing in a low voice, the rest of his eyes showed murderous intent.

It should be noted that the malice of a Taoist priest is almost a devastating blow to him now, enough to make him die violently in the Taoist palace tomorrow.

Fortunately, after thinking about it for a while, Yu Lie's brows widened a little, and a sneer appeared in his eyes: "It's okay, it's okay, you are just a Taoist priest at the bottom of the sixth grade now."

In the secret letter, he also informed Yu Lie about Zhu Laozi's cultivation base being reduced.

Although Zhu Laozi is still a Taoist priest at the moment, he is not something Yu Lie can compete with. However, even if such Taoist priests whose future has been ruined can still pretend to be powerful, the threat from the opponent is greatly reduced.

And now there is no one behind Yu Lie!

Yu Lie stood up suddenly, brushed away the ashes of the secret message, then went out in the night and flew towards the direction of Zishan.

With Master Zi Zhuzi here, he only needs to get a few more tokens to save his life and prevent the Dao Palace from getting hold of the situation, and basically his life will not be in danger.

However, on the way to Zishan, Yu Lie recalled She Shuangbai's letter to him and kept thinking:

"In this matter, am I implicating Master Zi Zhuzi, or is Master implicating me?"

Although She Shuangbai's secret letter did not directly involve Zi Zhuzi, the implicit meaning in her words hinted at Yu Lie, and Zhu Laozi's target was probably not Lie.

Yu Lie noticed this and became puzzled.

Because his master was notoriously reluctant to go out in the palace, and his training had nothing to do with Zi Zhuzi, so why did Zhu Laozi insist on involving his master Zi Zhuzi? Yu Lie was really Can't figure it out.

For a moment, Yu Lie was slightly worried.

He thought to himself: "Although Master's current magic power is far more powerful than that of Zhu Laozi, I am not her legitimate disciple after all.

If she is really too lazy to get involved, she may choose to draw a clear line with me. For me, I will first cut off the possibility of being involved by Zhu Laozi... What should I do? "

In the Taoist Palace at night, there were far fewer people coming and going.

Yu Lie finally reached Zi Zhuzi's door with a feeling of apprehension, but he became increasingly worried.

But at this moment, no matter what the situation was, he had better report the matter to Zi Zhuzi as soon as possible.

If his worries are unnecessary and he thinks too much, it is naturally the best. But if Zi Zhuzi reveals something is wrong, the rest of the team will have to run away quickly, which is the best way!

It just so happens that he is now a seventh-grade Taoist official. Even if he leaves without saying goodbye, he still has an excuse to travel around the world!
