After the news about Jinyu Pavilion was released, the entire Cangxuan Sea was shocked.

According to the information given by Jinyu Pavilion, the treasures to be auctioned this time may be the largest in history. No one is willing to miss such a grand event. Even if they can't win, they still want to watch the fun.

While the top forces were secretly preparing for the auction, Lin Xiao had already finished reading the entire "Essays of Dan Emperor" in the small courtyard of the alley.

At the beginning, Dugu Shi occasionally reminded Lin Xiao not to focus too much on some heretical practices. Obviously, the heretical practices that Dugu Shi considered included alchemy.

But later it was discovered that Lin Xiao would not delay his own cultivation just because he studied alchemy, so the Dugu family stopped caring about him. For a normal genius, being able to reach the top of a certain path is already great, but for someone who has

For Lin Xiao, who has mastered the art of free visualization outside the body of the Supreme Dao, focusing only on a certain Dao, or even a few Dao, is a waste of his talent.

When Lin Xiao became familiar with the entire "Essays of the Alchemy Emperor" to the point where he could memorize it backwards and forwards, he realized that alchemy cultivation and martial arts cultivation were the same. They couldn't just talk about it on paper, they had to be practiced.

Even if he already understands many theoretical principles, the Divine Pill of Creation cannot be refined just by relying on theory. The control of heat, the method of purifying raw materials, the order of adding materials, and many details require practice to make perfect.

process, not to mention that various problems may arise every time during the alchemy process, which is difficult for inexperienced novices to deal with.

Taking advantage of his free time, Lin Xiao decided to refine some low-level elixirs to practice his skills.

However, at this time, Aqiu sent news through the jade slip that Zhu An, the master of the Alchemy Hall, had made an appointment and asked Lin Xiao if he was free to visit Mingyue Villa in the afternoon.

Zhu An owns Tianxingcao, one of the main ingredients of Dragon Bone Pill, so of course Lin Xiao is free to see it.

He used his spiritual sense to check everyone's cultivation status, and after confirming that there were no problems, he used the jade slip to reply to the message and make an appointment with Aqiu.

Just after Shenshi, Lin Xiao appeared outside Mingyue Villa.

He did not rush in, but looked at the most mysterious Zhuangzi in Cangxuan Sea. From a distance, it was not significantly different from the houses of ordinary big families, and even its doors and walls looked very simple.

But if you feel it carefully, just in the peripheral area invisible to the naked eye, there are ten masters of the upper three realms of air control and three masters of the lower three realms of Tongxuan. This lineup for guarding the home is simply comparable to

Let’s go to the mountain gate of Juque Sword Sect.

Not to mention that Lin Xiao still felt the masters of the middle three realms and the upper three realms of Tongxuan in Zhuangzi, and there was more than one master of the upper three realms of Tongxuan.

In addition to the masters, Lin Xiao also discovered that the flow of spiritual energy in the village was different from that of the surrounding world. It was obvious that there was a spiritual array inside, and it was a very powerful spiritual array.

Lin Xiao was secretly surprised. No wonder Mingyue Villa could conquer all the righteous and demonic paths in Cangxuan Sea. It was truly extraordinary. At the same time, Lin Xiao was also curious about the strength of Jinyu Pavilion, which was as famous as Mingyue Villa or even better.

Following Ah Qiu's instructions, Lin Xiao hung the jade slip around his waist as a waist badge and walked straight towards the gate. As soon as his figure appeared, he felt several rays of spiritual consciousness falling on him, and then they retreated.

As soon as he walked to the door, the door opened on its own. A graceful girl seemed to have been waiting inside the door for a long time. She bowed slightly to Lin Xiao and saluted, and then said: "Sir, please come in."

After that, he led the way.

Lin Xiao walked behind the girl, and was surprised again. This girl looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She had only been practicing for four years at most, but she actually had the fifth realm of Body Tempering.

Such strength is enough to become an outer disciple of the Juque Sword Sect. Presumably her bloodline has reached at least the fifth level. In a second-rate sect, her qualifications are enough to become an inner disciple.

But such a girl with great talent and good looks seems to be just a maid here.

After entering Mingyue Villa, Lin Xiao saw what restrained luxury is. The villa is very large, but there are few houses. Everywhere you can see is pleasant scenery. Occasionally, there are one or two unique lofts hidden in the scenery.

, every plant and tree here can be seen showing signs of careful care, and all of them are rare and rare species in the outside world.

Even the stone slabs underfoot had a slight warmth, and it was obviously not ordinary stone.

The girl took Lin Xiao to an attic to leave. Lin Xiao keenly noticed that before leaving, the girl took another look at the jade slip on his waist, with a flash of curiosity and awe in her eyes.

"Brother Xiao Jun, here." Lin Xiao looked up and saw Aqiu standing on the terrace on the second floor of the attic. There was a tea table behind her, and sitting at the table was an old man with white hair and beard but full of energy.

Lin Xiao climbed up to the attic and listened to Ah Qiu's introduction: "This old gentleman is Zhu An, the master of the Dan Hall. I have already told him your identity. You can rest assured to show your true face here."

It turned out that Lin Xiao had specially disguised himself when he came. After all, the Juque Sword Sect had not given up on searching for him, and his portrait could still be seen all over the streets of East Imperial City.

Lin Xiao didn't show any pretense, and took off the disguise on his face with a wave of his hand, and then said to Zhu An: "Junior Lin Xiao, I have met Hall Master Zhu."

Zhu An was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Xiao's true appearance, but he did not stand up, and just said calmly: "Sit down."

Lin Xiao glanced at Aqiu. Aqiu clearly saw it, but seemed not to see it.

But when Ah Qiu turned around, Lin Xiao clearly saw her glare at Zhu An, who immediately showed an unnatural expression.

Lin Xiao was very sure that when Zhu An looked at Aqiu, his expression was respectful and even a little aggrieved.

But when he looked at Lin Xiao, there was a trace of undisguised disdain in his eyes.

"I already know your reason for coming." Zhu An took the initiative and said to Lin Xiao, "My time is very tight, so there is no need to say boring polite words. It's not impossible for you to want Tianxingcao, but I have two conditions.

"

"Hall Master Zhu, please speak." Lin Xiao said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, and his tone was no longer as polite as before. Since it is a transaction, just negotiate the terms according to the rules of the transaction.

"The first condition is that I am very curious about what you want to do with Tianxingcao?"

"Of course it's alchemy."

"Alchemy?" Zhu An suddenly laughed a few times, "Haha, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

"You want to make an elixir yourself?"

"good."

"As far as I know, the elixirs that require the use of Sky Star Grass are all divine elixirs of creation." Zhu An said, "I have been steeped in elixirs for a while, and I have never heard of anyone being able to refine them at your age.

The divine elixir of creation.”

"Young man, I even doubt whether you have the recipe for the divine elixir of creation?"

Faced with Zhu An's doubts, Lin Xiao glanced at Aqiu who was sitting aside, but Aqiu seemed to be intoxicated in the tranquility of drinking tea and didn't care about the content of the conversation between him and Zhu An.

Lin Xiao thought to himself that this woman clearly wanted Zhu An to test him on purpose.

"Whether there is a prescription for the elixir and whether you have the ability to refine the elixir, I think this is just a matter that this junior should worry about. I don't need Hall Master Zhu to worry about it. If Hall Master Zhu is sincere in continuing the transaction, I can tell you your next condition.

"

Zhu An was stunned for a moment, thinking that this young man was too rude. If Aqiu hadn't been right next to him, he would have at least walked away without telling Lin Xiao a lesson.

But remembering the previous agreement with Aqiu, Zhu An still stated his second condition.

"In exchange for a medicinal herb of the same quality as the Sky Star Grass, or a different fire from heaven and earth above the level of creation."
