Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

If his subordinates had not reported that Xu Fu had not left the house for eight or nine days, he would not even bother to mention it.

However, Ying Zheng felt a little surprised after hearing the words of the guard commander.

He has always been good at judging people, and many ministers in the court were promoted by him from scratch.

He actually had a pretty high opinion of Xu Fu.

But now Xu Fu has been staying at home and not coming out? What's going on?

Could it be that he was devastated by the failure of seeking a teacher?

Ying Zheng shook his head. Although Xu Fu didn't seem to be anything to worry about, he knew clearly that he should not be underestimated.

Looking at the many memorials on the desk, Ying Zheng felt inexplicably irritated.

He rubbed his eyebrows gently and sighed.

Anyway, I can’t think of any good solution for the time being, so I might as well go out and relax, and then come back to think about it carefully.

The master is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed for the time being.

It would be better to go to Xu Fu and ask when the master will come out.

I don’t know what the maid sent by the master said to Xu Fu that day.

Thinking silently, Ying Zheng calmly opened his mouth and ordered:

"Give the order and prepare the car. Go to Xu Fu. I want to see what this guy has been doing at home for so many days!"

After saying this, he looked at the heavy rain outside the window and muttered to himself:
"How long will this heavy rain last?"

……

In the courtyard pavilion given to Xu Fu by Ying Zheng, five alchemists were sitting around a small table drinking and chatting.

There was a bonfire burning in front of them, with salted edamame in the pot, and they were drinking and chatting.

Since Yang Ling came to Xianyang, Ying Zheng asked Fusu to release Xu Fu and his brothers from prison.

However, because of the successive shocks and experiences of being thrown into prison, these dozen or so alchemists were frightened and said goodbye to Xu Fu and left.

The five left now are all Xu Fu’s younger brothers.

"I really don't understand why you are running away after finally getting out of prison."

An alchemist who looked to be in his twenties stuffed a salted edamame into his mouth, drank a sip of wine happily, and then sighed.

"Look at the rich and powerful people nowadays, they really know how to eat. They boil the unripe soybeans in salt water, and the taste is heavenly."

"If I leave, I won't be able to eat again in this life."

"You're right. We should still follow Brother Xu. You're a bunch of cowards. You're so scared after a trip to the prison."

Several alchemists were drinking wine and eating edamame, enjoying themselves very much.

"Brother Xu hasn't come out for eight days. Could something have happened in the backyard?" one of the alchemists asked worriedly.

"What can happen? Don't worry, Brother Xu is a powerful person. If he doesn't let us go, then don't go. Besides, there are so many foods in the backyard, how can we starve to death?" another Taoist priest answered nonchalantly.

Several alchemists continued to lie here, admiring the heavy rain and drinking fine wine.

However, at this moment, a big foot stretched out from behind and kicked the brazier directly!
"Sizzle!" Sparks flew everywhere, directly splashing all over the five alchemists!
"Fuck! It's on fire!" This sudden action made the five alchemists jump up from the ground like rabbits, furious!
One of them was so angry that his face turned blue, and he turned around and cursed: "Who the hell is that?"

But he had just said half of his words when they suddenly got stuck in his throat, like a duck with its neck strangled!

They saw a tall man wearing a black cloak and a black and gold dragon robe with a mysterious bird pattern standing in front of them!
Just one look and the alchemist shuddered.

With a plop, he knelt on the ground without saying a word!
"Your Majesty! I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" He shouted in a trembling voice, "Long live Your Majesty!"

The other four alchemists were also furious, but after hearing this, they shuddered in fear!

He turned around hurriedly and saw Ying Zheng looking at him with a gloomy face!
The pervasive imperial majesty and murderous aura immediately weakened the remaining four alchemists' legs and feet!

"Your Majesty! We were unaware of your majesty's visit and failed to welcome you. Please forgive me!" They knelt on the ground with a plop, and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves.

Looking at these five alchemists, Ying Zheng had a cold expression but a fire of evil rose in his heart!

He was busy all day and couldn't sleep for several days because of the rainstorm!

And how could this group of Taoist priests who had no special abilities live so carefree? !
Taking a look at the wine jug and salted edamame on the ground, Ying Zheng felt a fire rising in his heart!
But after all, it is just evil fire, it comes quickly and goes away quickly.

He looked at the Taoist priests kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and asked indifferently, "Where is Xu Fu?"

"Your Majesty, Master Xu is in the backyard! I will inform you right away!" One of the alchemists replied tremblingly.

However, just as he finished speaking, the commander of the Black Ice Platform kicked him and shouted coldly: "Your Majesty asked where you are!"

With a splash, the Taoist priest fell into the water, but he did not show any displeasure. He knelt respectfully on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, sir, the one in the center of the backyard is it."

Ying Zheng glanced at the alchemists without paying much attention to them, and just walked towards the backyard indifferently.

The five alchemists breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still undecided when a Black Ice Guard wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon spoke coldly from behind them: "Everyone, please follow me to the prison."

The five alchemists froze in their expressions and forced themselves to smile: "Sir, we just came out of there not long ago..."

The Black Ice Platform guard, who had been in charge of surveillance for more than ten days and watched them knocking beans in the rain for nearly half a month, grinned fiercely and drew the sword at his waist.

"hurry up!"

"Don't let me do it!"

"..."

The five alchemists swallowed their saliva and looked at each other, feeling like crying but without tears.

"Or, let's go too..."

……

At the same time, Xu Fu did not know that his last five younger brothers had already thought of defecting.

He was huddled in a room in the backyard, trying with all his might to cut off the formation.

It was raining heavily.

Several guards carried Ying Zheng in a sedan chair and walked respectfully into the backyard.

In fact, compared to asking Xu Fu about the master's current situation, Ying Zheng would rather ask Yang Ling directly.

Ying Zheng still remembered the conversation that night vividly, and was deeply impressed by Yang Ling's fantastic and amazing ideas.

If you can ask an expert, maybe you can find a way to solve the flood problem.

It’s a pity that Yang Ling is in seclusion, and even Ying Zheng doesn’t want to disturb him at this time.

While his thoughts were flying, Ying Zheng had already arrived at the house in Xu Fu's backyard.

The commander of the Black Ice Platform stepped forward and shouted in a cold voice: "Xu Fu! His Majesty is here, why don't you come out to greet him!"

The rolling sound waves spread all around.

However, there was no movement in the room.

The commander of the Black Ice Platform frowned and shouted again: "Xu Fu! His Majesty has arrived! Come out and greet him!"

Still no response.

This time, not only the commander of the Black Ice Platform felt puzzled, but even Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

He looked inside, and through the window, he seemed to be able to see shadowy figures swaying.

Ying Zheng slowly stepped down from the sedan chair and said calmly, "Go in."

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Black Ice Platform kicked the door open without saying a word!
Bang!

With a loud bang, the door opened.

However, when they kicked the door open and saw the situation inside, they were stunned!

Because the imagined spacious room did not appear, and instead was replaced by a patch of... dense vines!

So green!

The slender vines were about as thick as a little finger and were densely intertwined together, almost blocking the entire gate!
After being kicked open, it hung sparsely on top.

And through these vines, you can see countless plants growing densely throughout the room!
Shrubs, flowers, plants...

All kinds of plants grow in the room in all directions, covering almost every corner!
Mushrooms were growing everywhere, and there was even a willow tree growing in the center of the room!

The branches are lush and leafy, as thick as thighs, full of vitality, and the branches have already reached the beams of the house!

The scattered branches and leaves almost covered the entire room!
Even the wooden tables and benches were covered with green moss!
The whole room doesn’t look like a place where people live, it’s more like a humid forest!

A burst of vitality suddenly filled the room, and one could even hear the chirping of insects!
The guards: “????”

Ying Zheng: “????”

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng and many Black Ice Platform guards were stunned!

What's happening here?
Is Xu Fu planting trees at home?
Just as a group of people were standing at the door in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

In a corner deep in the 'dense forest', a voice as weak as dry wood, almost crying, was heard!
"Oh, God, please help me! Finally someone came in..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Please save me..."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng and others hurriedly turned their heads and immediately saw all kinds of ancient and strange patterns densely interwoven and outlined on the floor of the house.

These patterns have a faint glow and are intricate and complex, making people feel dizzy at just one glance.

And in the center of the strange pattern, there was a shriveled figure sitting on the ground trembling!

The pupils of Ying Zheng and others suddenly contracted!
This is... Xu Fu? !

It’s raining heavily!

The door opened wide, and what came into view was the exotic plants that covered the entire room!

A strong breath of life rushed towards them, and Ying Zheng and others standing at the door were stunned for a moment!

What's going on here?
A huge willow tree almost broke the entire house, willow branches were scattered, and vines and mushrooms covered every corner!
Full of vitality, bursting out unbridled!

In addition to this, there are large areas of strange patterns and symbols engraved throughout the room.

Some are on the ground, some are on tree trunks, and some are even on the leaves of plants and mushroom caps!

It’s so densely packed and extremely weird!
Exuding a faint, mysterious glow!

And in the center of these plants and strange patterns, a skinny figure was slumped in the middle.

If he wasn't still breathing, everyone would think he was a dead person!
Seeing this scene, everyone at the door was stunned!

Even the previously furious Ying Zheng and the commander of the Black Ice Platform could not control their expressions and opened their mouths wide!
What is going on?

That person is Xu Fu?
What is going on here? !

Ying Zheng and others stood outside the house, stunned and dazed, deeply shocked by the scene before them.

Xu Fu, who was inside the room, looked at Ying Zheng and the commander of Heibingtai at the door, and tears suddenly streamed down his face!
Finally, someone came in!
If no one else comes in, will I become the first alchemist in history to die on the day of his practice?
eight days!

A full eight days!

Does anyone know how I managed to survive these few days?!

Looking at Ying Zheng and others outside the house, Xu Fu was trembling all over, extremely excited, and almost wanted to shout to the sky!

A few days ago, Xu Fu, who had just obtained the cultivation method and formation, out of curiosity, borrowed the remaining spiritual power on Yang Ling's bamboo slips to communicate with the remaining formation in Xianyang City, and it rained heavily!
But what Xu Fu didn't expect was that he only learned how to open the formation, but didn't know how to close it at all!

He tried various methods, but all ended in failure!
I originally thought that after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, the formation would automatically close and the heavy rain would stop.

However, what Xu Fu did not expect was that when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his body was exhausted, the formation still showed no sign of stopping!
It actually began to drain the life force from his body!
In just a few minutes, he was shaking all over and almost died on the spot! !
After seeing this scene, Xu Fu began to panic completely!

He quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced hard, drawing spiritual energy from heaven and earth to maintain the formation.

However, what Xu Fu never expected was that the spiritual power of heaven and earth required for this rain-praying formation was so enormous!
This is simply not something a beginner like him can provide!
Even if he tried his best and practiced the technique at the cost of his life, it would still not be enough!

After only a few days, he was almost beaten to death!
You must know that the one who provides the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for this rain-making formation is not you, but the bamboo slips bestowed by Yang Ling!
But even if it is just a medium of communication, it still won’t work!

He was seriously injured and dying several times!
If it weren't for the mysterious bamboo slips that Yang Ling bestowed upon him at every critical moment, which gave him some spiritual energy from heaven and earth, Xu Fu would probably have died by now!

After eight days, the feeling of having his spiritual energy exhausted, falling into a coma and waking up again made Xu Fu almost feel like dying!
At this moment, there was not a single meridian in Xu Fu's body that didn't hurt!

It feels like being pricked by needles all the time!
He wanted to get out of this situation, but it was no use!

Not only did the various measures fail to stop the formation, but they also allowed more spiritual energy from heaven and earth to flow into the already grand formation!
The rain will just get heavier!
The occasional overflow of spiritual energy turned the entire room into this horrible look!
Now it felt like there were dozens of hedgehogs inside Xu Fu's body, rolling around wildly in his limbs, almost exploding!
In fact, Xu Fu heard the sound of the Black Ice Guards outside the door quietly coming to investigate several times during this process. (End of this chapter)
