Chapter 135 Black Wood Chips

Walking through the bustling streets, we came to a place where several streets intersect.

What appeared in front of us was an extremely large, magnificent and spectacular building, with a faint fragrance of elixir floating out. On the towering gate, the four characters of "Alchemist Alliance" were written in a flamboyant style, flashing a faint golden light under the scorching sun.

Passers-by coming and going could not help but stay here for a few breaths, frequently casting awe and envy.

Any warrior, whether it is to treat injuries, restore true essence, or break through the realm, cannot do without elixirs.

As an alchemist who can refine elixirs, he is naturally respected by all warriors.

The Alchemist Alliance, as the headquarters of all alchemists in Lingzhou, even if the Jindan realm powerhouses above the Fuzhong realm come here, they must be humble.

After all, the alchemists in this building have enough energy to call on more than a dozen Jindan realm powerhouses to take action.

Outside the magnificent gate, alchemists of high status came in and out, and the conspicuous badges on their chests showed their alchemist grades.

Here, there are noble alchemists talking and laughing, and there are no poor warriors coming and going.

Here is the gathering place of many alchemists with the most respected status in Lingzhou.

Here is the largest place for producing elixirs in Lingzhou.

Standing on the street far away from the gate, Lu Yun looked up at the huge and imposing headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance, and said in his heart: "Fire, wait for me!"

"What's there to see here? Let's go to other places quickly." Di Ruoling, who was standing next to Lu Yun, urged.

"What do you know? Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. I have to see if there are any powerful opponents who will hinder my winning the championship." At this point, Lu Yun began to look around.

With the upcoming Alchemy Conference, the Alchemist Alliance seems extremely lively.

After all, the requirement for participating in the Alchemy Conference is that all alchemists under the age of 25 can participate. In addition to the alchemists from the county branches, many alchemists in Lingzhou who have not joined the Alchemist Alliance have also rushed over.

"In that case, let's go in and take a look. What's the point of fighting here?" After rolling her eyes at Lu Yun, Di Ruoling walked briskly towards the main hall of the Alchemist Alliance.

Her three thousand black hair tied by a purple ribbon fell on her hips, swinging with her bouncing steps, gently patting her round and perky buttocks.

As if she noticed that Lu Yun did not keep up, Di Ruoling turned her head, blinked her smart eyes, and smiled.

Lu Yun thought that his peeping was discovered, and was a little panicked. He quickly withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, and at the same time, a slight ripple rose in his heart.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you catch up?"

Looking at that beautiful face, Lu Yun silently recited the Ice Heart Mantra in his heart and followed immediately.

Stepping into the gate of the Alchemist Alliance, a strong fragrance of elixir rushed into the nose, making people unable to help but take a deep breath, and suddenly they felt relaxed and happy.

The Alchemist Alliance is very vast. After entering the gate, you can see the avenues leading to three different areas.

Standing at the door, Lu Yun observed the layout and scenes around.

To the east is an extremely chaotic and complicated area, a bit like a vegetable market in the previous life, with square platforms built one by one, and alchemists wearing badges sitting behind the platforms.

And on the platforms are a dazzling array of spiritual medicines and various jade bottles containing elixirs, and even ancient scrolls.

Looking at this appearance, Lu Yun knew that this was a simple trading area.

The area to the west is also very lively. At this time, many alchemists are gathered there to communicate and share experiences with each other.

Some even started refining pills on the spot, and under the guidance of several alchemists who seemed to be of high quality, they carefully refined the pills.

Just looking at these two areas, Lu Yun knew that this place was worthy of being the gathering place of all the alchemists in Lingzhou. Not only was there a place to exchange experiences, but there was also an area for mutual transactions and obtaining what they needed. The functions were far more comprehensive than the Lingwu County branch.

To the north of the gate was a hall.

Compared with the east and west areas, this hall seemed quieter, but also more serious.

At a glance, there were many guards standing on both sides of the avenue leading to the hall.

Each of them had a strong aura, at least a warrior in the late stage of the true qi realm.

Lu Yun couldn't help but narrow his eyes. A warrior in the late stage of the true qi realm was at least at the level of a lieutenant in the general army.

In this headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance, there were only guards guarding the gate. This was too luxurious.

"Don't you want to know yourself and your enemy so that you can fight a hundred battles without danger? There are many alchemists communicating there, you can go and have a look!" Di Ruoling pointed to the area in the west and said to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun shook his head slightly, looked at the trading area in the east, and smiled: "No, I have found a more interesting place now."

Slowly walking to the trading area, Lu Yun wandered between the square platforms, curiously looking at the rare spiritual medicines and other precious items placed on the square platforms on the left and right.

There were so many kinds of items that Lu Yun was a little overwhelmed for a while, and even had the idea of ​​robbing in his heart.

If all the precious spiritual medicines and elixirs here were refined, his energy value would probably soar to an unimaginable level.

Of course, he was just thinking about it in his mind.

The vendors sitting behind the square table were all alchemists of high status. They sat leisurely on the chairs, occasionally glancing at the people passing through the aisles. If they noticed someone who was generous or had the intention to buy, they would stand up and have a simple conversation.

However, they spent most of their time lying on wooden chairs, looking lazy.

After all, they were all noble alchemists, not ordinary vendors who needed to shout to attract customers.

In addition, the precious treasures they placed on the table all needed corresponding spiritual materials or elixirs to be exchanged.

For alchemists, gold and silver treasures were worthless, and spiritual crystals were just that.

Walking slowly along the way, Lu Yun was amazed, and at the same time, he rehearsed fierce battles in his mind, which really tempered his state of mind.

When he came to a very hot area, Lu Yun's eyes were immediately attracted by a transparent jade bottle.

In the jade bottle, there was a ball of red flame, and the slightly churning breath made the surrounding temperature obviously much higher than other areas.

Not only Lu Yun, but many alchemists gathered here because they were attracted by the rising flame in the transparent jade bottle.

This flame is the fire that a fourth-grade alchemist must have.

Fire is divided into natural fire and beast-born fire.

Natural fire is a particularly precious treasure of heaven and earth, and it rarely appears.

Once it appears, it will inevitably cause fierce competition.

Natural fire is not only useful for alchemists, but also has great appeal for warriors.

As for beast-born fire, it is born from the body of a monster beast. Generally, it is only born in the body of a monster beast above the fourth level, such as a fire-attributed monster beast like the Fiery Mad Lion.

And the fire in front of everyone is a beast-born fire.

Even beast-born fire is particularly precious. These alchemists gathered here have burning eyes. Some of the young people who think they are quite wealthy come forward to ask one by one.

However, the owner of this stall asked for too high a price. He either wanted a precious high-grade pill recipe or a pill above the fifth grade.

The people present were all second- and third-grade alchemists, so how could they afford it? Naturally, they all shook their heads and left.

It was true that an alchemist who could afford a high-grade pill recipe or a fifth-grade pill could not be short of a fire seed.

"It seems that you like this fire seed very much." Di Ruoling, who was standing aside, saw Lu Yun staring at the jade bottle containing the fire seed and said softly.

Lu Yun touched his chin, frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "It's useless to like it, I can't afford it!"

"How about I exchange it for you?"

Lu Yun tilted his head and saw Di Ruoling looking at him with a smile on her face.

Although they only looked at each other for a few seconds, Lu Yun could see that this little girl didn't seem to be joking.

Seeing that Lu Yun didn't answer for a long time, Di Ruoling frowned slightly, "Be frank, nod if you like it."

"Forget it, I still prefer the fire reward of the champion of the alchemy conference. It is said that the fire is likely to be a natural fire, which is much more advanced than this beast-born fire. Only natural fire is worthy of me."

Lu Yun shook his head, reluctantly retracted his gaze, and turned to walk to other places in the trading area.

"If you like it, just say you like it!" Di Ruoling looked at Lu Yun's leaving back and curled her lips in disdain.

In this way, he went around the trading area for another half circle. After experiencing repeated tempering, Lu Yun's state of mind was greatly improved.

Just before leaving the trading area, Lu Yun's footsteps suddenly stopped beside a prescription table.

On the stone table, there were some scattered spiritual medicines, some low-level pills, and some strange things.

The owner of the stall was a thin and pretty woman. Since the items on the stone platform were not high-end, and were just some common spiritual medicines, few people visited.

After finally seeing Lu Yun stop again, the woman did not give up this opportunity. She smiled and asked, "Master, what do you need?"

"Master?" Lu Yun looked from the badge with three dan patterns on his chest, and then from the woman's not-so-full chest, where there was also a copper badge with one dan pattern. He immediately understood.

"I'm just a third-grade alchemist, not worthy of the title of master. Besides, I'm just looking around."

"Hahaha, of course, you can, big... take a look." Although the pretty woman was a little disappointed, she still had a smile on her face.

Then she looked at Di Ruoling on the side.

In response, Di Ruoling smiled and shook her head, indicating that she came with Lu Yun and had nothing she wanted to see or exchange.

Lu Yun pretended to scan the stone platform, checking one jade bottle after another, and then glanced at those low-level spiritual medicines. These things were naturally not in his eyes, and even if they were refined, they would not increase the energy value much.

Finally, under the slightly disappointed eyes of the pretty woman, Lu Yun finally stopped.

He picked up a black piece of wood casually, and his fingers lightly brushed it, and a cool and refreshing feeling came to his mind.

Then he put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully, and a faint fragrance floated into his nose.

Playing with the black wood, Lu Yun's brows were sometimes wrinkled and sometimes stretched, which made the pretty woman beside him feel up and down.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Lu Yun slowly raised his head, looked at the woman whose mood was stirred up and down by him, and said with a smile: "How do you want to exchange this item?"

Hearing this, the delicate woman suddenly became energetic, smoothed her hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I don't know what this item is or what its purpose is. Since it can be valued by Master Alchemist, The proof should be of some value, but I’m not greedy either, just a bottle of Tongmai Pill and a bottle of Xuanyuan Pill.”

Glancing at the other party, Lu Yun nodded lightly. This woman had good vision and knew how to advance and retreat.

Something that can attract the attention of a third-grade alchemist must be of extraordinary value.

A bottle of Tongmai Pill and a bottle of Xuanyuan Pill can be easily obtained by any third-level alchemist.

However, Lu Yun is not an ordinary third-grade alchemist.

He turned his head, smiled at Di Ruoling, and said, "I'm a little tight on money, you..."

Before Lu Yun finished speaking, two jade bottles appeared in Di Ruoling's hands, and he threw them towards the delicate woman and said, "Two bottles of Xuanyuan Pill, I'll give them to you directly."

The delicate woman immediately took the jade bottle in a hurry, and the joy on her pretty face could not be concealed.

The total value of everything on her stall was only about the same as these two bottles of Xuanyuan Dan.

After checking that everything was correct, she quickly bowed and saluted Lu Yun and Di Ruoling who turned to leave.

After leaving the trading area, Lu Yun was still studying the black piece of wood. After a while, he still didn't find anything special, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

As if unwilling to give up, he put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The faint fragrance floated into his nose, which made him feel refreshed.

"You are the only one who regards this dark thing as a treasure." Di Ruoling couldn't help but mock.

"What do you know? According to my intuition, this thing must be a treasure. If you don't believe me, smell it. It smells good."

After saying that, Lu Yun placed the black piece of wood in front of Di Ruoling's straight nose.

Seeing the young man's serious look, Di Ruoling didn't want to hit him any more, so Qiongbi cooperated with him and sniffed lightly.

Sure enough, a faint fragrance hit her nose, and she couldn't help but take another sniff.

"How?" Lu Yun chuckled.

He rolled his smart eyes, stared at Lu Yun for a while, and then said with a smile: "It does have a fragrance, a bit like the fragrance of Dan."

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Isn't this thing made by someone using spent elixirs?"

"Elixir? Elixir?"

When Lu Yun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to stroll and quickly turned around and left.
