Mo Chen and his hundreds of people Chiyun Guard have been helping Liu Yuanhu clean up the mess during this period. After these days of training, Liu Yuanhu's injuries have basically recovered. Looking at the increasingly stable situation, in order to thank Mo Chen and Chiyun Guard Liu Yuanhu, a banquet was specially held to express gratitude.

At this time, a group of them were eating and drinking in the county captain's mansion, and Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen were sitting together, drinking and drinking, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, the piercing siren sounded throughout Canghe County city, and the originally bustling county captain's mansion suddenly fell silent. Mo Chen and Liu Yuanhu even stood up from their chairs and looked solemnly in the direction of the city wall.

"What a strong oppression!"

Liu Yuanhu and others were just Copper Bone Realm. After feeling the terrifying aura of Five-colored Bird, they were extremely shocked and their faces became extremely ugly.

"Brother Mo, please come with me to see the situation!"

Mo Chen looked serious. After a moment of silence, he immediately said, "Chiyun Guard belongs to us, form a formation to meet the enemy!"

Chiyun Guard dispatched this time because Governor's Mansion ordered them to come and help Liu Yuanhu clear the situation. If they lost the city, they would be severely punished even if they went back. Although Mo Chen was afraid, he had to bite the bullet and follow Liu Yuanhu.

When Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen arrived, the guards on the city wall had already entered a state of emergency preparedness under the dispatch of Zhang Guangqun, and three heavy crossbows had been placed on the city wall.

These city wraths are important weapons in the military. An arrow is comparable to a spear. If the city crossbow hits, even a Copper Bone Realm person can be killed instantly.

Liu Yuanhu spent a lot of money to ask Mo Chen to help him resell these three city crossbows from Chiyun Guard's warehouse. He originally wanted to prevent Black Sand Gang from happening again, but he never thought that these three heavy weapons would be used at this moment.

Zhang Guangqun saw Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen rushing over to report the situation, "Sir, the crossbow has been loaded. Just wait for it to get closer before you can shoot!"

Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen have the highest cultivation level and the strongest perception. They looked at Five-colored Bird in the sky with a sinking face and some fear in their eyes.

The two of them looked at each other and felt their mouths were dry, and their mouths were as bitter as if they had a Coptis chinensis in their mouths. They lowered their voices and said in unison, "Marrow Refining Realm!"

A moment later, Mo Chen's heroism as a sergeant was instantly displayed. With firm eyes, he personally walked to a crossbow and turned the crossbow to aim at Five-colored Bird, who was getting closer and closer.

"Brother Liu, if this thing enters the city, life will be ruined. Both of you and I are fed by officials. In this case, we can only do our best and obey fate!"

Liu Yuanhu turned his head and glanced at Canghe County cheng, who was already in a mess behind him, and his eyes gradually became firm. "Let's fight!"

Five-colored Bird was moving very fast, and was already close to Canghe County city in the blink of an eye. When Five-colored Bird dropped to twenty or thirty meters, Mo Chen roared, "Shoot!"

The three city crossbows immediately made a loud noise, and thick giant arrows were immediately shot towards Five-colored Bird.

Five-colored Bird saw a hint of disdain in his eyes when he saw the flying crossbow arrows. He saw its wings flapping rapidly, and suddenly a strong hurricane was generated from under its wings.

The hurricane swept through and the giant arrows collided, and the three huge arrows were instantly twisted into sawdust.

Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen frowned upon seeing this and hurriedly reloaded.

Lu Junyi on Five-colored Bird couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene and said loudly, "I am Saint Pill Sect Lu Junyi, don't do anything!"

Mo Chen then turned his head and saw a person standing on Five-colored Bird's back.

Lu Junyi is a celebrity in Chiyun Prefecture Domain. Although Mo Chen has never seen him in person, he has seen his portrait. After seeing Lu Junyi's appearance clearly, he hurriedly stopped Liu Yuanhu and Chiyun Guard who were already preparing to go.

"Everyone stop it, stop it!"

Five-colored Bird landed at the top of the city and stood still, letting out a sharp cry.

The cry was so sharp and harsh that even Mo Chen and Liu Yuanhu felt their eardrums stinging and their brains buzzing, let alone other people with lower cultivation levels. Some Skin Refining stage warriors were shocked to the point where their ears bled and they fainted with a roll of their eyes.

Lu Junyi patted Five-colored Bird's head and said softly, "Xiaocai, be quiet, don't disturb Alchemist Ge!"

Five-colored Bird stopped crying after hearing what Lu Junyi said and lay down on the city wall to take a nap.

Although Liu Yuanhu didn't know Lu Junyi, he had heard of the Saint Pill Sect's name. At this time, his mind was running rapidly thinking about the reasons why Lu Junyi came to Canghe County.

Mo Chen hurriedly pulled Liu Yuanhu to salute in front of Lu Junyi.

"Chiyun Guard Centurion Mo Chen, I have seen Elder Lu!"

When Liu Yuanhu saw this, he also hurriedly saluted. "Canghe County County Magistrate and County Lieutenant Liu Yuanhu has seen Elder Lu. I wonder why you are here? If you need anything, just ask, I will do my best to help you."

Lu Junyi didn't even look at Mo Chen, his eyes fell on Liu Yuanhu and asked, "Where is Alchemist Ge Qing? Take me to see him!"

Liu Yuanhu was shocked when he heard this. "Are you here to seek revenge on Alchemist Ge?"

Lu Junyi's identity and strength far surpassed Liu Yuanhu. Although Ge Qing had rescued him before, at this moment he was too busy to report to Ge Qing. He could only go to Ge Qing's mansion with Lu Junyi lamenting in his heart and crying.

"Elder Lu, this is the residence of Alchemist Ge. I will call the door for you right now!"

As he said this, Liu Yuanhu stood in front of the gate and pulled out the saber from his waist, preparing to smash the gate with one knife in order to make a noise to remind Ge Qing.

Lu Junyi became anxious when he saw Liu Yuanhu pulling out his long knife and preparing to hack at the door. He ducked to his side and kicked Liu Yuanhu away.

Liu Yuanhu, who fell to the ground, grinned in pain. He looked at Lu Junyi with some confusion. "Elder Lu, are you...?"

Lu Junyi gave Liu Yuanhu a vicious look. "Who gave you the courage to knock down Alchemist Ge's door? You are not needed here anymore, get out!"

This time Liu Yuanhu heard a hint of respect from Lu Junyi's words. He reluctantly got up and limped away. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Hey, if you weren't seeking revenge, you should have told me earlier. It made me worry for nothing. This kick really hurts!"

After Liu Yuanhu left, Lu Junyi carefully tidied up his appearance before coming to the door with some restraint and gently pulling the knocker.

Lu Junyi just clicked Ding An twice and opened the door and walked out.

Ding An bowed slightly to Lu Junyi and said, "I have seen Elder Lu."

Lu Junyi looked at Ding An with some surprise. "Do you recognize me?"

Ding An smiled and shook his head, "I don't know you, but my master has informed me in advance and asked me to wait for you here."

Lu Junyi beamed with joy when he heard this. "Does this old man know that I'm coming? Then could you please help me lead the way!"

Although Ding An is just a nobody in the eyes of Lu Junyi, he is a person from Ge Qing, so his identity cannot be treated with common sense. Lu Junyi did not dare to put on airs at this time, and even used honorifics when speaking.

Ding An shook his head and took out a tips bag and handed it to Lu Junyi: "Elder Lu, my master is currently in seclusion refining elixirs and cannot see you. Before that, he left this tips bag for me to pass on to you."

Lu Junyi Hearing this, he immediately opened the bag of tips. There was a small roll of paper inside, and he couldn't wait to spread it out.

It is written on the scroll: Heaven is about to entrust this man with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard on his mind and body.

Lu Junyi was a little confused looking at the content on the paper and didn't quite understand its true meaning.

Ding An looked at Lu Junyi's confused look and couldn't help but smile, "My master said, if Elder Lu is confused, you can look at the back of the paper roll."

Lu Junyi hurriedly turned the paper over, and the four characters "Start from Scratch" were clearly written on the back.

Ding An took out a brocade box and handed it to Lu Junyi: "This thing was given to your sect by my master."

Lu Junyi took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a stack of brocade silks. After unfolding the brocade silk and seeing the contents above, Lu Junyi exclaimed, "Marrow Building Pill's elixir recipe!"

Lu Junyi looked surprised and in disbelief.

This is not to blame for his gaffe, the main reason is that this Marrow Building Pill prescription is too expensive!

Marrow Building Pill is the elixir of High-grade Profound Tier! You must know that even in the Saint Pill Sect, which is based on alchemy, Marrow Forging Pill, the highest level alchemy, is just Mid-grade Profound Tier. Even so, they rely on Marrow Forging Pill of Mid-grade Profound Tier to always sit firmly on the throne of the first alchemy in Chiyun Prefecture!

For alchemists, alchemy is an alternative martial arts in a sense. Without higher-level alchemy, it would be impossible for the alchemist to be promoted in his lifetime. This is like a talented martial arts prodigy who cultivated to the Gold Bone Realm in a short period of time but did not spend his whole life without Guidance Method. No matter how talented you are, you cannot break through to the Marrow Refining Realm. High-level alchemy recipes are as important to the alchemist as Guidance Method!

The master of the Saint Pill Sect and Lu Junyi himself are both alchemists of Mid-grade Profound Tier. They have stayed at this level for many years, and their skills have already been honed to the perfection of this level. However, they have always suffered from the lack of higher-level alchemy recipes, so they have been stuck at this level and cannot improve.

Now this recipe of Marrow Building Pill is of great significance to them. If used well, it may make their influence of the Saint Pill Sect in Chiyun Prefecture Domain reach a higher level, completely reaching the level of the Governor's Mansion or even surpassing Governor's Mansion.

In these troubled times, no one knows how long the Daliang court can last. Everyone wants to accumulate more strength and means so that they can have more capital to survive in troubled times.

Lu Junyi's hands holding the pill trembled violently because of the excitement.

"Elder Lu If nothing happens, please leave. My master likes to be quieter. The noise you just made was really too loud."

Ding An As soon as Lu Junyi said these words, a look of shame immediately appeared on Lu Junyi's face. "It's my fault, I won't do it next time!"

As he spoke, Lu Junyi plopped down on the ground facing the mansion. Ding An smiled and did not stop him. He just stepped back two steps to the side to give way.

"Lu Junyi, on behalf of the Saint Pill Sect, thanks Lord Ge for the gift!"

Lu Junyi knocked him three times before Ding An helped him up. "Elder Lu There is no need to be too polite. My master said that if he troubles you to do something, he will pay you. This is just an ordinary exchange of interests, so don't take it to heart."

Lu Junyi bowed his hands to Ding An and then turned around and left.

Ding An closed the door and walked into the backyard.

Ge Qing was currently sitting in the small courtyard, staring attentively at a porcelain basin the size of a millstone in front of him.

"Master, Elder Lu has left."

Ge Qing did not speak but waved his hand to signal Ding An to leave. Ge Qing's eyes never left the porcelain basin in front of him from the beginning to the end.

Ge Qing There is a clear water in the porcelain basin in front of him, and there are countless stars on the water.

The stars were spinning around and shining brightly, which was very magical. After watching it for a long time, Ge Qing picked up the small teapot on the table, took a sip, smashed it and said with a smile, "Oh, this kid is also magical. I didn't expect that with all my years of cultivation, he would actually be able to deduce everything." It's really strange that I can't predict his fate! However, I can see that his brows are full of purple light and he is someone special. I hope my operation can have some cause and effect with him. I don't know if he will be the one to break the situation in the troubled times in the future!"

Ge Qing stretched out a finger and stirred it gently in the porcelain basin. A mysterious power emerged from him, and the porcelain basin suddenly burst into dazzling colorful light. After a while, the light dissipated, and the porcelain basin became empty.

Lu Junyi was in a good mood after receiving the Marrow Building Pill prescription given by Ge Qing. He was humming a tune while walking. At this time, he had already begun to imagine a beautiful picture in his mind of the Saint Pill Sect's rising status in the future.

When Lu Junyi returned to the city wall, Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen were already waiting here.

The guards on the city wall have already withdrawn, leaving only a few daily patrols, and the rest have been replaced by honor guards.

Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen saw Lu Junyi returning and hurriedly came over. "Elder Lu, how are you doing? Is there anything else you need us to do for you?"

Lu Junyi was in a good mood at this time, and because of his curiosity about Gu Sheng, he took the initiative to ask Liu Yuanhu: "How strong is the Gu family in Canghe County? Are they in the elixir or medicinal material business?"

Liu Yuanhu fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a moment he frowned and replied, "Back to Elder Lu, there is no Gu family in my city Canghe County, but there is a village named Gu Family Village down there. Ninety-nine percent of the people with the Gu surname in this county come from there."

"Village Castle?"

Now it was Lu Junyi's turn to frown.

Gu Sheng was already seventeen years old and already Blood Refining Realm was perfect. Canghe County had this kind of martial arts talent, not to mention Chiyun Prefecture, who was also a top talent among Chiyun Prefecture. However, what he never expected was that Gu Sheng was not the queen of the Canghe County family, but a member of the village and fortress.

Canghe County is already remote and has poor resources. Even the powerful families in the county have very limited resources, let alone smaller villages and castles.

It is no joke to be poor in literature and rich in martial arts, especially in the three realms of skin refining, blood refining and bone refining. Without the support of a steady stream of elixirs, the cultivation speed will be as fast as a turtle crawling! However, Gu Sheng was still able to cultivate to where he is today under such arduous conditions, which shows how talented he is, how strong his character is, and how strong his perseverance is!

Lu Junyi suddenly understood why Ge Qing would lower his dignity and stuff Gu Sheng into the Saint Pill Sect. This is because he loves talents!

Liu Yuanhu Seeing Lu Junyi's brows furrowed, he was also worried. He asked cautiously, "Elder Lu, but someone in the Gu Family Fort bumped into you?"
