It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 33: A promise is made, double happiness comes (please read it later)
Since the alchemy room first closed, it has become the centerpiece of Xiang's alchemy workshop.

Anyway, no one is refining elixirs now, so it is suitable for cultivation.

Zhao Ci closed his eyes and looked at his panel again.

[Comprehension value]: 1222
[Current Items]: Money Eye Opening Talisman Limit symbol.

[Yu Xinyan]: Young (cannot be upgraded temporarily)

[God Refining Furnace]: Not mastered (0/1000)

[Xiang's Marksmanship]: Proficient (0/1000)

[Huangji Body Refining Art]: Muscle-Easing Stage (0/1000)

Don't think about it anymore, just add some points.

Zhao Ci felt a warm current pouring into his mind, and all the contents of the God Refining Furnace were instantly integrated. The God Refining Furnace was only a secret method and had no tiers. Although a lot was consumed at one time, fortunately there was no subsequent consumption.

The so-called divine refining furnace is to use the spiritual platform as a furnace to temper the secret technique of the soul.

But since it is a furnace, it naturally needs "furnace fire". The so-called "furnace fire" is anything that can affect the soul.

It can be the seven emotions and six desires, or it can be poison that damages the spiritual intelligence. Through the furnace of the spiritual platform, it cannot cause actual harm to the soul, but it can fully stimulate and temper the soul, so that the soul can be fully improved.

Whether it's insight, reaction speed, or five senses...

Of course, the extent of improvement still depends on the progress of secret skill training.

But no matter what, this secret technique that can directly increase the strength of the soul is extremely precious.

At first, Zhao Ci thought that he would need to spend some time looking for something to arouse emotions, or related poisons.

But now, Yu Xinyan is fully capable.

Zhao Ci aroused his thoughts, and the appearance of the spiritual platform gradually appeared in his mind. There was a clear air inside the spiritual platform, and the turbid matter was looming in the clear air. This was his soul.

Gradually, the spiritual platform turned into the shape of a cauldron.

Gently stimulating his true energy, a flame suddenly bloomed in his consciousness, and it was Yu Xinyan who was in his heart.

Although the spiritual platform is between the eyebrows and the flame is at the heart, in his consciousness, the two are very close.

The moment the flames appeared, Zhao Ci felt himself submerged in a gloomy emotion.

In just a moment, he realized the meaning of "heart depression".

It was as if he had returned to his previous life, when he was worried about the mortgage and anxious about the exams. He was going crazy mentally and internally, and the level was even ten times higher than then.

"Things like Yu Xinyan are so fierce..."

Zhao Ci frowned. No wonder Yu Xinyan's description said that if it is confined to the body, it will burn the heart, and if it flows out, it will burst.

If the fire in the nest is like this, how can it not explode if it is let out?

It seems that Yu Xinyan must be used with caution in the future, at least not until the strength of the soul increases.

No wonder Zhu Li failed to refine the elixir, the flames burst out, and she was depressed. It was really outrageous to be able to refine the elixir.

But she looks normal, and I don’t know how.

Fortunately.

Although it was painful, he could see the air billowing in the furnace. Not only did it not shrink, but it seemed to have grown slightly.

On the contrary, the turbid matter inside was turned upside down by Yu Xinyan. It was once looming, but now it all rolled out, was eaten away bit by bit, turned into ashes and was discharged outside the spiritual furnace.

"continue!"

Zhao Ci is quite excited. Now his energy is very full and can fully support the practice of secret techniques.

He now has extremely strong Huangji Qi and can start his first body training at any time, but he is not in a hurry at all.

Because Zhao Huanlaoden has a wish to reward the top-grade Huangji Pill, which is a top-grade pill that assists in body refining. The first body refining is very important, and waiting for it is completely worth the money.

……

On the carriage back to Kan Mansion.

Zhu Li's expression was solemn, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise upwards, and she kept suppressing them reluctantly.

Kan Luotang chuckled and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh!"

"Hehehehehehehehehehehe..."

"..."

"Luotang! Why didn't you say anything just now? Your Kan family wants to keep a distance from Zhao Ci. With our relationship, if I become Zhao Ci's official..."

"Then what should I do? Is it because of me that I have delayed your future? Haven't you always wanted to be an alchemist?"

"But……"

"There is nothing wrong with it. I will only be happy for you if you can have a good future. As for what Kan Mansion does, it is between me and grandpa. You don't have to worry."

"All right!"

Zhu Li rubbed her sore brows: "But it's really difficult to get that old guy Zhu Gong to agree!"

The Zhu Gong she refers to is the second-in-command of the Zhu family, the one who competes with his father for the position of head of the family. He handles all the Zhu family's properties in Linge.

This is the system of Dayu. The eldest son of the seven great meritorious families must grow up in Linge, serve as a government official and achieve certain achievements before he can inherit the position of the head of the family.

The second son needs to grow up in the domain. When the eldest son returns home, the second son will gradually take over the estate.

In most cases, the relationship between the eldest son and the second son of the same mother is relatively harmonious, but the Zhu family is an exception.

Kan Luotang suddenly chuckled: "Actually, I have a way to help you."

"real or fake?"

Zhu Li's eyes lit up: "Hurry up and tell me!"

Kan Luotang pursed his lips: "Just follow what Zhao Ci said. Don't mention anything about alchemy. Just say that Zhao Ci specially used the Fire Pill to please you in order to win my favor. In this case, your chance of winning will be at least It can be improved by [-]%.”

Zhu Li was confused: "Why?"

Kan Luotang shook his head and said with a smile: "Just do as I say, and I will tell you the details tomorrow. Don't think too much about it today, and go to sleep well when you get back. Anyway, you have become an alchemist, and you don't have to be like before. I'm so anxious that I can't sleep. I'll do it tomorrow and don't think about writing to your father anymore."

"it is good!"

Zhu Li nodded heavily, but her expression was still a little tangled: "But I still feel that it may be difficult for them to agree."

Kan Luotang asked in confusion: "Why?"

Zhu Li looked worried: "After all, I am a genius alchemist, will they be willing to do it?"

Kan Luotang: "..."

……

Xiang's Danfang was very quiet, and everyone in the Kan Mansion went to sleep early.

But some people can't sleep no matter what.

Zhao Yong didn't even go back to the Nine Princes' Mansion and moved directly into Zhu's house with Zhu Yan.

Missing the Hundred Refining Furnace put him and the Zhu family under great pressure. If he wanted to get enough orders at the Gongdan Conference, he had to increase his efforts.Although they didn't know where Concubine Jing got the courage to get involved in the elixir matter, this woman was quite experienced in business and would not do anything wrong.

This was the case in the silk business before. When everyone was not optimistic, one day she suddenly came up with a large number of improved looms. By the time other silk merchants reacted, she had already snatched a piece of silk from a large group of silk merchants. Fat meat.

As for this Gongdan Conference, although she most likely just wants to spend money to grab a piece of territory first, she will slowly seek changes in a few years.

But her momentum to grab the Hundred Refining Furnace is so fierce that no one knows whether she will suddenly surprise everyone like she did in the silk business.

Therefore, you must prepare in advance.

The lights of the Zhu family were brightly lit all night, and Zhu Gong summoned half of the stewards of the Zhu family to discuss the details of adding more money to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

After discussing it all night, Zhao Yong frowned.

The greater the upfront cost, the greater the performance pressure he faces.

By the time the details were finalized, it was already early morning.

Zhao Yongzheng was preparing to leave.

Zhu Yan hurried over: "Father!"

Zhu Gong straightened his slightly messy beard: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Yan saluted respectfully: "The concierge sent word that Zhu Li wants to see you!"

Zhu Gong frowned slightly: "What is she doing here... Oh! It's time to pay the monthly payment, let her in!"

Watch Zhu Yan leave.

Zhu Gong looked at Zhao Yong: "Your Highness, do you want to avoid it?"

Zhao Yong also wanted to rest, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No, uncle, I am your nephew. What can I hide about my nephew visiting my uncle?"

After hearing what he said, Zhu Gong had no objection.

Soon.

Zhu Li came in with a dull head. Although he was a little reluctant, he still saluted: "I've met my second uncle!"

She hates everyone in the Zhu family in Linge.

I especially hate this second uncle.

Because the other people had bad faces and would choke each other a few times, Zhu Gong always greeted him with a smile. Not only could he not be choked, but he could also be treated with the courtesy of an elder.

Wohuo!

"Xiao Li, there's no need to be polite!"

Zhu Gong had a warm smile on his face: "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

According to Kan Luotang's words.

Zhu Li did not directly state the purpose, but just said: "The monthly money has been spent, and it happens to be the time to pay the monthly money..."

"No problem, Ah Fu, go and get Miss Li's monthly money."

Zhu Gong was thoughtful, glanced at Zhao Yong, whose face was slightly gloomy but hesitated to speak, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, Xiaoli, I heard that a fire pill was sold at the auction yesterday..."

Zhu Li immediately beamed with joy: "Now that it has been refined by me, maybe I can really become an alchemist with this."

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Yong couldn't stand it anymore: "How much did Zhao Ci sell to you?"

Zhu Li spread her hands: "I don't want any money! He said that I am Luo Tang's friend, so asking for money would be too outrageous!"

Zhao Yong: "..."

Zhu Yan: "..."

Zhu Gong: "..."

Despite the pressure of having his achievements reversed, he still has to please his sweetheart's friends.

This Zhao Ci is really good at licking!

Zhao Yong's face became even more gloomy. He was quite happy when he heard that Zhao Ci was keeping a distance from the Kan Mansion a few days ago. If he delays it for a few years, the marriage may turn around.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ci turned around and licked it.

Not long after, Ah Fu had already brought the silver coins.

Zhu Li took the silver, but had no intention of leaving yet.

Zhu Gong asked again: "Xiaoli, is there anything else?"

Zhu Li gritted his teeth: "Second uncle, this monthly payment is too little, can you give me an increase?"

The smile on Zhu Gong's face did not diminish: "Our Zhu family is in Linge. For all those who have no real job, your monthly salary is the highest. Young people must learn to be satisfied."

Zhu Li was reluctant: "Then can you give me a real job that requires a high monthly salary? With such a small monthly salary, you can't even afford the alchemy furnace. How can I become an alchemist?"

Hear this.

Zhu Gong's brows couldn't help but frown slightly: "Xiaoli, do you really think that all the people in the Zhu family can easily get through and get the monthly salary?"

"Can't I?"

"Of course not!"

"Do you look down on me?"

"Why do we look down on you?"

"obviously it is!"

Zhu Li was a little angry: "Zhao Ci said that I am a talented person. If I can be a government official for him, I will definitely get a lot of achievements for him. Then I can choose whatever cultivation resources I want. Why can't I do it with you? Already?"

hiss……

Everyone present took a breath.

Zhu Gong was also a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Did he say where your talent lies?"

Zhu Li shook his head: "No! But since he said that, he must have his reason."

Zhu Gong thought for a while and then asked: "When he said this, was Kan Luotang nearby?"

"Yes!"

"Oh……"

Zhu Gong was thoughtful.

Zhu Li was a little dissatisfied: "Then will you let me be his official?"

"It's a deal, double happiness! I didn't expect His Highness the Tenth Prince to have such a discerning eye, Xiaoli, you must cherish it!"

Zhu Gongsheng was afraid that she would regret it: "Yan'er, please quickly hand over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Zhu Li: "..."
