Rune Master

The residence of Gongsun's family in Wuji City is more like a small town, with shops lined on both sides of the street, and the bustling area is not much more prosperous than some bustling areas in big cities. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within a city.

It is said that Gongsun's family is one of the four major merchants in Nanze Prefecture. It can be seen from a small resident. Anyway, Jing Chen believed it.

The three of them walked through the gate and entered the residence of Zhu Wuchang and others.

Ling Yi asked about the living conditions of several people, and then told about Huo Zhiyou.

Surprisingly, Lingling and the others didn't seem too surprised.

In other words, when Huo Zhixing appeared, they had already guessed the ending, and there was no other expression except a little sadness.

Jing Chen's eyes fell on Qingshuang, this cold and beautiful woman, as usual, there was not even a trace of fluctuation in her eyes.

Jing Chen shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.

I also ate dinner here by the way, and while other people were busy with dinner, Jing Chen wandered around the yard.

An ancient tree with no name was planted in the backyard, its leaves covered the sky, and the leaves had already started to fall in this season, and they fell one after another, making Qingshuang standing below feel a bit of indescribable desolation.

Jingchen was thinking about whether to walk over, but Qingshuang spotted him one step earlier.

Then she heard her say, "I know, he's going to leave eventually." Qingshuang raised her head slightly, and Jing Chen could only see a thin side face from this angle.

Both of them were silent, only the rustling of leaves between the sky and the earth remained for a while.

……

When there were only two people left in the dormitory, Jing Chen leaned on the bed with a complicated mood. Thinking of Huo Zhiyou's usual behavior of playing tricks, suddenly one person was missing, he was really not used to it.

"Qingshuang, she..." Jing Chen stopped talking after thinking about it, and simply turned over and covered his head with the quilt, "Sleeping."

Ling Yi laughed, pulled off the quilt, and kissed Jing Chen's forehead lightly, "See you again."

Life still had to go on, it was obviously quieter without one person, and even the little things that Huo Zhiyou didn't usually see were broken or broken.

Three people and one beast are obviously not used to this kind of quietness yet.

After a quiet breakfast, classes started today, and the three of them headed to their respective colleges.

Jingchen was still ignored in their class, but probably because of the incident of burning down the dormitory yesterday, the atmosphere was a bit strange when he came in today.

Everyone's gazes flicked to gather, and then they pretended to be nonchalantly aside, only the remaining light swept over from time to time.

Jingchen said that he was hurt internally. He obviously came in through the back door. Could this be getting more attention?

Xuanyuan Xiaoshan leaned over his head and asked rather gossip, "How is it?"

"What about it?" Old God Jing Chen sat down comfortably, and took out the array disk he got from the Flying Fish, "I remember correctly, today is this class, right?"

To be honest, he was looking forward to it. He hadn't thought much about it since he got it. This class was really timely for him.

"Good stuff!"Xuanyuan Xiaoshan's eyes lit up, he snatched the pan from Jingchen's hand, couldn't help touching it back and forth twice, and said, "Good thing, good thing."

That little expression really gave goosebumps, Jing Chen used two fingers to "pinch" the thing back from the opponent's hand with a little disgust.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the ground trembled slightly. Jing Chen only felt that the light in front of him was blocked by something.

Looking up, she saw Feng Fei standing on the table and squatting down slowly, condescendingly looking down at the shivering classmate in the front row of Jing Chen, helped the frame of the mirror, and said with a smile, "Student, how about changing seats?"

Feng Fei's imposing manner was too amazing, and she was extremely powerful. She overturned Ba Xing's lessons learned with one punch. That classmate stood up almost tremblingly, "Okay, okay." She hurried to the side.

Jing Chen and Xuanyuan Xiaoshan, who witnessed the whole process of Feng Fei oppressing good people, "..."

"I heard that someone smashed your dormitory yesterday?" Feng Fei jumped off the table and sat on the stool with one leg up, without any ladylike image.

Why does Mao feel that you are so excited when you say it?Jing Chen was lying.

"Ah, I've heard about this too." Xuanyuan Xiaoshan also said, "Tell me about the specific situation."

"Would you like to have some more melon seeds, make a cup of tea, and listen to me slowly?" Jing Chen snorted twice, scolded with a smile, "boring."

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Lu Ni?" Jing Chen looked at the corner of the classroom, but he didn't find the boy lying on the table, and asked a little strangely.

Usually, he and Feng Fei are inseparable, oh no, to be exact, the latter will never let go of any chance for the two of them to get along, especially after changing positions, Jing Chen doesn't believe that Feng Fei won't pull him over .

"He." Feng Fei said listlessly, "I didn't see anyone when I came back yesterday." Lu Ni's disappearance still affected her a bit, and she ate at least three bowls for breakfast alone.

"I know this." Xuanyuan Xiaoshan interjected, "On the way back from the laboratory yesterday, I saw the teacher Bai Zheng who taught tea art and called him away."

"Teacher Bai Zheng who teaches tea art?!" It was Feng Fei who reacted most violently, jumping up from the stool, then realized that she was a little excited, and sat down awkwardly.

"You know him," Jing Chen asked tentatively.

"Eh." Feng Fei began to look around and said to him, "Isn't class about to start, I still have to preview."

What a clumsy change of subject, Jing Chen and Xuanyuan Xiaoshan said in their hearts at the same time.

Just when the teacher came in the class, the three of them started the class with their own thoughts.

At the same time, Jingchen also had some calculations in his mind. It seemed that Baicheng had already made some moves. Today happened to be the day to go to the tree house for class. He could stop by to see how Bai Zheng's apprentice was doing, and maybe he could have an extra junior.

In the afternoon, Jingchen missed class gorgeously.

When I came to the tree house, I went directly to the second floor, pushed in the door, and saw Lu Ni sitting at the table at a glance.

From the profile of the young man, he was still as indifferent as ever. The puppet parts were quickly assembled at his fingertips, and the eyes that were staring at him seemed to be shining.

Jing Chen didn't bother him, and walked forward slowly. .

Bai Zheng drank his tea gracefully as usual, and looked up at Lu Ni from time to time, with approval in his eyes.Seeing Jing Chen coming, he put down his teacup and gestured to go outside to talk.

The entrance of the tree house on the second floor.

"He is more suitable than you." Bai Zheng said bluntly.

Look, this is a typical example of having a new love and forgetting the old love, Jing Chen is a little sad.

However, this could be considered one of his purposes for introducing Lu Ni to Bai Zheng.

His puppet art is based on his understanding of the puppet formation. Compared with simply studying some strange arts, he does not have the genius of Lu Ni, so he may not make much progress if he continues to learn.

"He is also my classmate anyway, don't let me know that you are against him." After getting along for a while, although Jing Chen already knew Bai Zheng's personality, he still had to remind him.

"I never force people." Facing the vast mountains, rivers and forests, Bai Zheng said it in a dignified manner.

Jingchen complained in his heart, and he didn't know who used the puppet to force me here... Of course, he didn't say these words.

In the next few days, with Lu Ni as an official disciple, Bai Zheng will not force Jing Chen to follow up with the puppet technique, so someone will come here to practice God Cultivation Art when he is free. But it was a lot thicker, and the little days were quite comfortable.

During this period of time, he also met Lu Ni, so he also talked about showing Bai Zheng his puppet.

Lu Ni didn't say anything, the young man had a sullen face, as if he didn't care about foreign affairs at all, or in other words, after the Miemen massacre, his heart died long ago.

Time passed slowly, and it had been a while since Huo Zhiyou left. While studying, Jing Chen was still struggling to prepare for the alchemy assessment.

It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Qianduo sent a message that Bu Yanyan was taken back by the Bu family. The reason is unknown for the time being.

With one stumbling block missing, apart from some classmates who rejected him in the class, as well as a small number of cannon fodder A and B who came out of nowhere, Jing Chen got along very comfortably.

This day was the day when Jingchen and Xia Xiongfei made an appointment to go to the Danfu Alliance, and it was also the day when Jingchen was ready to take the exam for the three-star Danfu teacher.

During this period of time, he has even found the location of the store, and he only needs the badge to complete the registration and open the store.

This time Jingchen still went out alone, and only made some simple disguises. On the way, he stopped by Gongsun Qianduo's residence to visit Lingling and the others.

Surprisingly, when he saw Qingshuang again, he found that the other party's cultivation had changed from six stars and eight patterns to seven stars and one pattern, and his aura became more restrained and his person became colder.

Is this the power of broken love?Jing Chen thought of the scene he saw in the backyard when Huo Zhiyou left. He knew that Qingshuang was not indifferent to Huo, but just a woman's intuition, which was sometimes more reliable than what he saw in reality.

At this time, Baby Rong moved over, pulled Jing Chen aside and said, "Can you tell me where brother Zhiyou's home is?"

Jing Chen raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to know or they want to ask?" After all, when Huo Zhiyou left, they should have asked this question, but they didn't, they just knew that Huo Zhixing took him away forcibly Then he was relieved.

Today it was Rong Baobao who brought up this question, which made him a little confused.

Baby Rong lowered her head and did not speak, and started playing with her fingers. After a while, Ai Ai said, "They won't let me ask, but I don't want to see my sister feel sad."

Jing Chen sighed in his heart, although he still hasn't figured out what the relationship between Huo Zhiyou and Huo Zhixing is, but it's definitely not ordinary, Qingshuang's stolen heart may be hurt... ...No, it must have been injured.

Raising his hand to touch Baby Rong's head, Jing Chen said, "Actually, I don't know very well. Maybe you can ask Gongsun when he comes next time."

Jing Chen didn't stay any longer, and got up to go to the Danfu Alliance. Let's wait for Ling Yi to deal with this kind of matter.

Different from the dull atmosphere before, the Danfu Alliance can be described as very lively.

Xia Xiongfei and Xu Ming, two masters, no matter who appeared, it was enough to drive the alchemy master crazy, let alone two at a time.At this time, if you don't hurry up to ask questions, ask questions, and fawn on you, do you think you are stupid?

When Jing Chen came, he saw such a scene. The two old men were surrounded in the center of the hall. Their usually neat clothes were a little wrinkled, and their hair was a little messy. The only thing in common was that they didn't show any impatience on their faces.Jing Chen sighed in his heart, this is the real master's demeanor.

Of course, for those alchemists who pretend to be eager to learn, but actually want to go through the back door to curry favor, they still won't show too much good face.

Jing Chen went straight to the deacon to fill out the form, and instead of joining in the fun, went directly to the room where the three-star Danfu master was tested.

There are already people inside, standing by the alchemy furnace to study the ground fire.

Jing Chen was surprised that there were other people there, and when he took a closer look, he also knew this person. He also met on the Flying Fish, Yu Yi'an, an eight-star intermediate craftsman.

"Old Yu, I didn't expect you to be here." Jing Chen hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"If I don't come in person, I won't be able to wait until you find me." The old man half-jokingly said, "You are also a busy person."

"Don't dare." Jing Chen said with a smile, "I'm going to visit you after the exam."

Yu Yi'an laughed loudly, "I wrote down this sentence, don't look for someone later."

Jingchen was embarrassed, he was really polite, the old man didn't know if he didn't hear it, so he took it seriously

Looking around seriously, he didn't find anyone else, Jing Chen wondered, could it be possible to ask a talisman teacher to invigilate the exam?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door opened, and Xia Xiongfei and Xu Ming walked in in a bit of a panic.

Yu Yi'an didn't miss this opportunity to ridicule them, and immediately laughed even wider, "I said that you people in the Danfu Alliance are really enthusiastic."

Xia Xiongfei stared, and was no longer happy with his old enemy's sarcasm, "If you are standing in the hall of the Qifu Alliance, you will also have this virtue!"

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, it's important!" Xu Ming hurriedly said.

The eyes of the three of them focused on Jing Chen, who bit the bullet and handed over the list.

The next assessment was naturally carried out with the full attention of several people, and the pressure was high. Fortunately, Jing Chen was not the one who lost the chain at the critical moment. He carefully restrained his mind in front of the three masters, and did not use his consciousness.

It can be said that he has mastered the art of alchemy on earth. Even without the attachment of spiritual consciousness, low-level pills are still easy for him to grasp.

The Chong Ling Pill refined this time is a pill used by Martial Talisman masters below three stars to hit the star rank.

Although it is only a low-star level, it is still a bit difficult, at least for most alchemy masters, this is a hurdle.

This time the alchemy process went smoothly, Jing Chen thought not to shock the world too much, so he extended the time a little, so, after about an hour and a half, the elixir was refined.

Even so, Xia Xiongfei and Xu Ming still looked surprised.

"The precision is so pure, and the appearance is perfect." After carefully examining the elixir in his hand, Xu Ming raised his head unwillingly and said to Jing Chen, "Do you really have a master? Do you really think about worshiping me as a teacher?"

Yu Yi'an on the side smiled disdainfully, "If you knew about the talent of little friend in forming formations, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that."

Xu Ming didn't care about Yu Yi'an's tone, but his eyes became more intense, "Let's discuss some time."

Jingchen smiled wryly, "Let me be spared."

Seeing that Xu Ming was still pulling Jing Chen to talk endlessly, Xia Xiongfei interrupted and reminded, "Old Xu, don't forget that there is still business to do."

"Oh, that's right." Xu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Look at my brain."

"Jingchen, since you have passed the three-star alchemy master exam, let's talk about the next thing." Xu Ming rubbed his hands, "Look, if you are allowed to skip three levels in a row and directly enter the three-star exam, we will do the same." It's quite difficult."

Jingchen, "..." It's obviously a matter of your two elders talking, have you considered the feelings of the threatened deacon?

"If you two have something to say, let's just talk about it." Jing Chen said respectfully.Going directly to the back door for the three-star assessment saved a lot of time and trouble. In this regard, he still thanked the two old men for their help.

"This." Jing Chen's straightforwardness made Xu Ming feel a little embarrassed, "Ahem, this is how it happened."

"Half a month later is the day when the alchemy conference will start, and the scale will expand to the five major states of the rune world. We have [-] places in South Zezhou that have passed the internal selection. We want you to help us."

"Ah?" Jing Chen was dumbfounded, "Mr. Xu's words are serious. There are so many young talents in Nanze Prefecture. I can't get the [-] places."

What's more, he just passed the three-star alchemy master examination through the back door, and Nanze Prefecture is so big, and there are countless alchemy masters. If you pull out any one, you will definitely be more qualified than him.

"No, with the qualifications of a little friend, he is definitely worthy of this important task." Xia Xiongfei said, "To tell you the truth, although this alchemy conference was used to audition for the final places to participate in the qualification examination of Miduo Lingyuan, but over the years Disputes between the five continents have never stopped."

"Especially in recent years, not only my Danfu, but the whole Nanze Prefecture has been lost. Instead of wasting the quota in the competition of various families, it is more appropriate to give it to my little friend."

Jing Chen thought it was nothing at first, but when Xia Xiongfei said this, the list on his shoulders suddenly became heavy, "I am just a half-hearted alchemy master, and you have also seen that I am only a two-star peak, and I can refine elixir The limit is only five stars." Still the same sentence, what can be compared with the alchemy masters in the entire rune world?

"Are you agreeing?" Xu Ming slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "I'll report my name right away!"

Jingchen, "..." Hey, how did you know that I agreed?How did I agree? !
