The man in black stood behind Li Yan. After giving Li Yan a cold look, he then looked at the tall woman behind the jade table and glared at her fiercely.

When he found that the tall woman had hurriedly lowered her head, she knew that the other party did not dare to tell what happened just now, and then the man in black quickly glanced around.

The conversation between him and Chen Ying was short, and neither of their voices were too high, so no one noticed what just happened here.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that only the three of them here knew about this, the man in black snorted heavily, then did not say any more, but turned and left.

He was originally going to come here to pick up the mission today, but he lost interest now.

"Pill Is there no problem?"

The tall slender woman lowered her head, her heart pounding. She felt so innocent. How could she be involved in such a thing today for no reason.

She was worried that if something happened to one of the two, she might be in trouble.

"I have to quickly find a reason to end this rotation, avoid the right and wrong that may arise, and go back to practice behind closed doors for a while..."

The tall slender woman thought to herself that her master was out delivering the goods, so it would be best for her not to show up at this time.

In fact, there are many incidents of discord between monks in the business. If it were other people, it might not affect him, but the tall woman has heard a lot about the nature of the man in black.

If there is any trouble between these two people today, the man in black will most likely think of himself. Even if he doesn't tell it, the other party will doubt him...

At this moment, the tall woman suddenly heard a questioning voice. She was startled and quickly raised her head to see the man in front of the jade table looking at her quietly.

When she felt the calmness in the other person's eyes again, the tall woman's originally panicked heart suddenly calmed down.

This new skinny deacon gave people the feeling that nothing unusual had happened just now, and his eyes had always remained calm, which made his somewhat chaotic mind calm down at this moment.

"Oh... oh! There is nothing wrong with senior's Pill. You can take it out. I will end this task for you right now!"

The tall woman quickly forced herself to calm down. After seeing clearly that the light in the red formation was normal, she took two quick steps forward and came to the jade table.

While speaking to Li Yan, he quickly used the magic formula on the identity token that was still suspended in another small formation. Soon Li Yan's identity token flashed and landed on the jade table.

Li Yan also put Pill in the red formation into the original elixir bottle, and then gently placed the two elixir bottles on the table.

When the tall woman saw this, a smile appeared on her pretty face. After closing the two small formations, she gently raised her white palm and put the two pill bottles into the storage ring she carried.

This storage ring does not belong to her personally, but is something that needs to be turned in every day, and it has a one-way seal on it. She can only put items in it, but cannot take it out at all.

"Senior, your identity token shows that there are still tasks for the company. Do you still need to accept the tasks next?"

After the tall woman put away the elixir bottle, she quickly looked at Li Yan and asked.

Although such a task is a one-time arrangement for the firm, it can usually only accept up to three items at a time, because the firm does not allow it to receive so many materials at one time.

Because it is almost impossible for you to complete more than three tasks at once within the time specified by the task.

Moreover, many monks in the company have ten years of alchemy and weapon refining tasks. If everyone accepts tasks like this, the amount of various materials that the company will send out at one time will be absolutely terrifying.

This is also a huge burden for the business, so the business requires materials to be collected in batches, especially since some monks may still go out.

They carry so much material with them. If he accidentally dies outside, it will only give others an advantage and cause the company to lose a lot of money...

"No, let's talk about it next time!"

Li Yan gently raised his hand, took the identity token on the jade table into his hand, then shook his head, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Looking at Li Yan's disappearing back, the tall woman behind the jade table secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had just hurriedly asked about the other party's mission, but she just wanted to change the subject.

She was afraid that the deacon would suddenly ask about the man in black. She had heard the conversation between the two before, and it was clear that the two did not know each other before.

And if this new deacon asks about it, what should he do? This is what worries her the most.

The two people just showed something wrong. If he said he didn't know the man in black, once he found out, he would have offended this man to death.

But if I tell the origin of the man in black, if something happens later, given that man's nature, he will be blamed for it.

So whether he doesn't say anything or he can find various reasons to try to get rid of this matter, he still needs the new deacon to believe him.

But the final result was pretty good. The new deacon didn't ask any questions and just left...

Li Yan After leaving "Rita", he flew towards the area where he lived.

However, when he arrived at the living area not long after, he did not immediately go to the courtyard where he lived. Instead, after flying for a while, he finally landed outside someone else's courtyard.

Li Yan's face was always calm. After falling, he immediately spoke softly to the courtyard door.

"Fellow Daoist Chi, I wonder if you are free!"

Soon, an old voice came from the courtyard.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen, come in!"

While talking, the courtyard door quietly opened, and Li Yan saw this and walked towards it.

After arriving in the courtyard, Li Yan saw Chi Xuhe sitting in the living room opposite the courtyard door, looking up at him as well. Li Yan quickly bowed his hands to him, and then walked towards the living room.

Chi Xuhe had a good impression of him, and he was also recruited by the other party, so after making arrangements for Li Yan that day, Chi Xuhe also told Li Yan some other things.

Among them is the location of his residence, and he also said that he has been researching a matter on Dao of Alchemy in recent years. If Li Yan has something to do with him, and the company has not arranged a task, he can come to his residence to search.

Today, he didn't get here in vain. After Chi Xuhe watched Li Yan enter, he pointed to the chair on the side.

"Please sit down!"

He did not immediately ask why Li Yan came, and just waited for Li Yan to speak next.

In fact, even if new deacons or elders like this have no doubts when they enter, they may discover some things in the company after a period of time that are not as they imagined.

Maybe he would ask someone, and he might be the person Chen Ying is most familiar with in the company.

So Chi Xuhe wouldn't be surprised if the other party came directly to his door. Moreover, since he had told the other party where he lived, he would not blame the other party for suddenly coming to his door.

"I took the liberty of disturbing Fellow Daoist Chi and invited Fellow Daoist Haihan. I just encountered a strange thing today, but I don't know the reason at all.

However, Daoist Chi is an old man in the business, so he naturally knows a lot about things in the business, so he came here to ask fellow Daoist a few questions, and hopes that fellow Daoist will not hesitate to give you some advice. Chen would like to thank you in advance! "

Li Yan After sitting down, there was no nonsense and he just asked straight to the point.

He didn't ask the tall woman in the tower, but he saw the panic in the other person's eyes and the tall woman's thoughts when she changed the subject.

Li Yan At that time, she had already guessed that the tall woman definitely knew the man in black, but she just heard the words between her and the other person. It was not a good relationship, so she wanted to break off the relationship in a hurry, for fear of getting angry.

Li Yan is so sophisticated. After he thought about the tall woman's thoughts, he did not ask further questions. Doing so might even make the tall woman hate him in her heart.

He immediately thought of Chi Xuhe. Through his previous two interactions with this person, he also had the intention of wooing him.

And it's pretty good to talk to the other person myself, so if you ask him about such things, you should be able to get the answer you want.

If Chi Xuhe doesn't help then, it won't matter. With his own means, he should be able to get the information about the man in black.

Although I am not familiar with the place here, it only requires a little more effort, but it will definitely not be difficult.

"Oh? Something strange? Fellow Daoist Chen, let me tell you first. If I can help, of course there will be no problem."

Chi Xuhe didn't speak too fully, and nodded slightly to Li Yan.

Li Yan was not polite at the moment and quickly recounted what happened when he went to the task hall to hand over the task today.

By the way, he also specifically described the appearance of the man in black. When Chi Xuhe first heard it, he also looked strange. He did not expect that anyone could cause trouble for Li Yan in the mission hall.

Because before Li Yan told the story, he made it clear that apart from accepting tasks, he had not been able to get to know anyone in the company.

But after Li Yan described the appearance of the man in black, he knew who that person was? At the same time, I had some guesses in my mind, but I couldn't confirm the real reason.

After Li Yan finished speaking, Chi Xuhe looked at Li Yan and looked at him. He had already made up his mind and immediately said to Li Yan.

"The person that Fellow Daoist Chen is talking about is also a deacon of my Ruidan Hall. His name is Dongmen Gaozhi. As for why I approached Fellow Daoist, I also know some of the people he is friends with. Please allow me to ask."

Chi Xuhe acted cheerfully and did not even refuse Li Yan's inquiry.

After he finished speaking, a light flashed in his hand, and a transmission talisman appeared. Then he quickly whispered to the transmission talisman, and then he waved it away...

Li Yan Seeing the other party doing this, he felt relieved. This way, he didn't have to waste any more effort. He would accept Chi Xuhe's favor in this matter.

Soon after Chi Xuhe spoke, he waved his hand and punched out the communication note. The communication note immediately turned into a streak of light and flew out of the courtyard and disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, wait a while and see if there is any reply. If the other party doesn't know, then I will find out in other ways later!

By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen, have you been completing the tasks issued by the company during this period of time? But I wonder how much has been completed?

The tasks of a business are usually tight at the front and loose at the back. As long as Chen Daoyou gets used to this, he will feel that it doesn't matter anymore.

And based on Chen Daoyou's Dao of Alchemy attainments, the tasks that the company can arrange in the early stage should be to refine various third- and fourth-grade Pill. Of course you can do it easily..."

During the following waiting time, Chi Xuhe also asked about Li Yan's current situation. He knew that guest deacons and elders like him were still under the secret observation of the company in the past ten years.

Therefore, he would not be entrusted with important tasks, and he happened to also want to know Chen Ying's recent situation. This person was also a talent that his own force wanted to win over.

But the premise is that Chen Ying has no problem at all, so he has no intention of inviting the other party yet. Otherwise, if this person really has potential problems, he will bring trouble to his own power.

At the same time, he will also be implicated to a certain extent, so when Chen Ying came to his place today, he could take the opportunity to ask about the situation.

Of course, he will go out to find out the latest news about Chen Ying later. Only by comparing the two sides can he come to a more accurate judgment.

As for helping Chen Ying to find out the news just now, after he knew the identity of the man in black, he felt that there was nothing wrong with asking for information about Dongmen Kochi.

This kind of thing can make Chen Ying owe him a favor. In the future, when his own side wants to win over this person, even if other forces are also inviting the other party, Chen Ying will have to consider his favor.

After all, when he came to ask for help, he helped him without saying a word. This was also when the other party had just entered the business and was alone, so such a favor must be more precious.

Li Yan also smiled slightly and started talking slowly with the other party...

Just as the two of them were talking and burning incense, Chi Xuhe, who was talking, suddenly stopped talking and quickly looked up at the door.

Just when he looked up, he saw a ray of light coming straight towards him. The light was as powerful as lightning. When it flew in front of him in an instant, he had already caught it in his palm.

When the light quickly dissipated, he was holding a transmission talisman in his hand. Chi Xuhe quickly poked Divine Sense in. Li Yan just picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it gently.

In just a few breaths, Chi Xuhe withdrew Divine Sense, and at the same time, he poured a small amount of mana into his hand.

"Tsk!"

The transmission note immediately turned into little rays of light and quickly dispersed in the air. Chi Xuhe then turned to look at Li Yan.

"Fellow Daoist is very lucky. I actually found out the relevant information. First of all, the ancestor of Dongmen Gaozhi is a disciple in the company. This person's cultivation qualifications are also good, which can be regarded as average.

But he is also very good at researching Dao of Alchemy. Although he is not as good as me, he is still quite famous in Ruidan Hall.

Of course, there is no shortage of such deacons in our Ruidan Hall, so his Dao of Alchemy is not too outstanding, but it is already very good.

It's just that Dongmen Gao's real fame is much greater than that of Alchemist at the same level. The reason is that he is rather arrogant and his behavior is a bit... somewhat noticeable, which makes his fame stand out.

He is not acquainted with fellow Daoist, so the reason why he got to know you so quickly is why he is looking for you. It's related to the fifth grade Pill you took that assessment..."

When Chi Xuhe said this, his tone paused slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, are you talking about Jade Pill?"

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but asked doubtfully, after he successfully refined the fourth-grade Pill in that assessment, the fifth-grade Pill in the subsequent assessment was the Jade Pu Dan.

"Well, I guess Fellow Daoist Chen also knows that this elixir is quite famous among the fifth-grade Pill!"

Chi Xuhe continued, and Li Yan nodded immediately. On that day, he did not need the other party to provide Pill Formula for the assessment of refining this kind of Pill.

As for the reason why Chi Xuhe chose to use this elixir to test himself, Li Yan certainly had some speculation.

The reputation of "Jade Pu Dan" is indeed as Chi Xuhe said. It is indeed quite famous among the fifth-grade Pill, but this is not because of the effectiveness of "Jade Pu Dan", which is so high that it is surprising.

This elixir is mainly effective for cultivating spiritual types Divine Ability, and the effect is indeed very good, but it is considered a relatively partial existence, so the people who use it are also targeted.
