Chapter 420 Is It Still Too Late to Abandon the Dark and Turn to the Light? (The Third Update! Please Subscribe!)
There are many people in the city lord's mansion, and there are frequent turnovers, even if it is a person in charge of personnel, it is impossible to ensure that they can know everyone.
Because entering the mansion has to go through layers of inspections, and the mansion has been open for many years, there has never been a situation where outsiders were sneaked in.
Right now, although many people think that this young man is unfamiliar, they don't think much about it.
Their attention was still focused on the cooking skills of the mayor's wife, and they glanced away at random.
Pei Ling walked through the crowd without expression and without saying a word, but she was extremely anxious in her heart!
There are so many people here, if the system presents fire monsters in public later, I will have nowhere to escape!
He thought quickly: "However, with so many monks here, as long as the system makes a move, the gift will definitely fail!"
"In this way, even if you are caught, you should compensate more spiritual stones and treasures of heaven and earth. The orthodox monks are probably more reasonable, and there should be hope of getting away with it."
"The only problem is that the identity of the demon cultivator is exposed... But the greedy dynasty intends to recruit talents from all over the world. The demon cultivator also has talents and can turn evil and return to righteousness!"
"I have a better attitude, admit my mistake in public, repent and start a new life, and pay more... It should be no problem to save my life!"
"It really doesn't work, let's say it's aimed at the alchemy ceremony, and wants to use the alchemy technique to abandon the dark and turn to the bright..."
Thinking of this, Pei Ling made up his mind.
Afterwards, I saw that I had already passed through the crowd, and not far away, a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress with a beautiful face and a beautiful face, was using a gold jump to tie up her sleeves, holding a giant shovel, struggling to stir a cauldron .
The other party didn't notice Pei Ling's approach at all, and was still concentrating on observing the cooking condition of the soup in the pot. His waist was thin and soft, forming a graceful arc when he bent down.
Beside the beautiful woman, squatting a crimson demon wolf the size of a calf, also staring at the boiling soup in the pot solemnly.
A monster in shape is cooking?
Pei Ling was thinking like this, when he saw himself striding forward, leaning down suddenly, grabbing the beautiful woman's ankle, kicking it hard, and easily throwing the unsuspecting beautiful woman into the cauldron !
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for everyone to react, Pei Ling picked up the lid of the pot next to it and covered the cauldron firmly!
"Ding dong! The system is giving away fire-type monster meat and fire-type monster pills, please wait a moment..."
The system prompt sounded, and Pei Ling began to cook the wife of the city lord of Qicheng in front of everyone.

Baigongya.
In a certain alchemy room that is not open to the public, Xue Ruyan with disheveled hair, tired complexion but bright eyes, is opening the alchemy furnace in front of him full of expectation.
Nine pills lay quietly on the bottom of the furnace, and the fragrance of pills was lingering.
Based on his experience, one can tell at a glance that four of the top grades and five of the best grades are all Foundation Establishment Pills.
Yes, he just witnessed the scene where Wang Gao opened a furnace to refine the top-quality foundation-building pill, and he was deeply touched.
Therefore, I couldn't wait to go back to my mansion, so I borrowed the best alchemy room in Baigong Yamen to start the furnace, hoping to catch that kind of induction in the dark, so that my alchemy skills can be improved to the next level .
"Five..." Seeing this scene, Xue Ruyan was slightly disappointed.
But immediately calmed down.
The result in front of me is of course a world of difference from Master Wang's batch of twelve Foundation Establishment Pills, each of which is of the highest quality!
However, considering that if he usually opened the furnace normally, there were about two or three top-grade pills in one furnace, but this time there were five. Obviously, a great improvement!
Just make progress!
At his level, although he can be respected as a master, Xue Ruyan knows in his heart that his talent in alchemy has been exhausted.
Under normal circumstances, it is very likely that he will stop here for the rest of his life, with no hope of becoming a fourth-rank alchemist!
This is undoubtedly a very painful thing for an alchemist in his prime.
Even, there were similar masters in the dynasty before, in order to seek breakthroughs in skills, they did not hesitate to fall into the devil's way.
Although Xue Ruyan was not so extreme, she did not give up.
Over the years, he has frequently retreated to study alchemy, and even impatiently refused several invitations from the city lord of Qicheng, but his progress is still weak. No, to be precise, he has not made any progress at all!
And after witnessing Master Wang refining that batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, and carefully recalling what he said, it turns out that in just a short moment, the success rate of the best pills has nearly doubled.
Thinking of this, Xue Ruyan suddenly became excited.
My hope of being promoted to a fourth-rank alchemist, perhaps, rests on Master Wang!
If he hadn't known that he and Master Wang had only met once, he would have wished to go to Pei Ling immediately for advice.
Gathering his mind, Xue Ruyan packed the furnace of pills casually, put away his own furnace, and turned around to leave the alchemy room.
He still has some insights that he has not fully digested, but although the Baigong Yamen treated him very preferentially, it is not as convenient as his own mansion.
At this moment, Xue Ruyan calmed down a little, and decided to go back to her place, and then carefully understand Master Wang Gao's experience.
As soon as he went out, he saw a young man guarding him, and he hurried up to report: "Master Xue, the City Lord Yuchi is here, and I would like to invite you to a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion tonight..."
"No, no!" Xue Ruyan interrupted impatiently, "I'm busy making alchemy, where did I get the time to eat some kind of banquet!"
He had heard of Yuchi Kechun's plan, it was nothing more than asking the alchemist to refine a batch of high-quality transformation pills for his brother-in-law who had not yet transformed himself.
For Xue Ruyan, this is just a matter of lifting a finger.
However, he didn't intend to pay any attention to Yuchi Kezhen.
This is not only because Xue Ruyan has concentrated on improving her alchemy over the years and is too lazy to care about common affairs, but also because Xue Ruyan doesn't like the Yan Qinlang siblings very much.
It's not because the other party is a foreign race.
Xue Ruyan was born and raised in the Liugai Dynasty. He was taught since childhood that all living beings are equal.
He disliked the two siblings, mainly because the other party came from the realm of the Demonic Dao.
Yes, Xue Ruyan hates demons very much.
In his view, all people born in the Devil's Way, or those of other races, are born with original sin.
Especially after Yan Qinlang and these demon wolves were naturalized in the Liugian Dynasty, they didn't make any contribution to the Dynasty, but relying on Yuchi Kezhen, they thought of taking the back door every day... As expected, they were born in the Devil's way, and they were born in the Devil's way. Question, full of crooked ways!
The reason why the two brothers and sisters brought their group to the imperial dynasty was because of their weak strength. If they had been strong, they would have already wreaked havoc everywhere and acted like those people in the evil way!
Therefore, Xue Ruyan refused without even listening to the words.
"But..." If he had said that in the past, the boy would have answered directly, but this time, the boy did not bow his head to accept the order, but showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and whispered, "Why is there no reply to the doctor?" , the masters from Baigongya, and the three students from Yulin Academy... all the local masters and nobles have agreed to go to the City Lord's Mansion at night to entertain Master Wang Gao together, this..."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go!" Xue Ruyan said angrily, "Why Wufu and the others are going to take care of me... Wait, Master Wang Gao?!"
He was about to leave in a huff, but he stopped abruptly, walked back quickly, and asked in a deep voice, "Master Wang Gao? Yuchi Kejun is going to entertain Master Wang Gao tonight?"
"That's right." The boy nodded quickly, "Because..."
"Where is he now?" Xue Ruyan quickly interrupted, "Forget it, when outsiders come to Baigong Ya to post posts, they will basically be in the reception hall, so I'll go there right away!"
He was very familiar with the layout of the Baigong Yamen. At this moment, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he took two steps in three steps, and arrived at the reception hall in a short while.
Sure enough, before he entered, he heard He Wufu and others chatting and laughing with Yuchi Kechun.
After entering, he saw that the most prominent people in the city had already arrived, and even the three students from Yulin Academy were sitting beside him.
Everyone was not surprised to see Xue Ruyan coming, and they all greeted: "Master Xue, please sit down quickly! We are discussing, is it possible to persuade that Wang Shi to settle in my city after attending the alchemy ceremony? "
Um?
settle down?
Xue Ruyan didn't care about such things in the past. After all, there is one more fifth-grade alchemist in Qicheng, although it will not affect his status, but this kind of political achievement is due to Yuchi Kezhen, so what does it have to do with him?
But now, he nodded without hesitation: "Since Master Wang participated in the assessment in our city, it would certainly be a good thing if he can settle in the city in the future!"
If Master Wang Gao settled down in Qucheng, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to ask for advice in the future?
Yuchi Kexuan was slightly surprised to see Xue Ruyan, who was always proud of him, also joined in to make suggestions. He was also worried that Master Xue would reject the matter, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to be more active than him?
Thinking in his heart, Yuchi Kechun was about to speak, but at this moment, a guard walked in quickly with a serious expression, and came to his side and said in a low voice: "City Lord, something happened in the mansion!"
