An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

The next morning, Xu Fu got up early and did not dare to feed Yuehua too much. He only gave Yuehua a fourth-grade elixir to satisfy his craving.

Xu Fu also discovered Yuehua's habits. He ate too much elixir and had to sleep hard for a while before waking up. He had been locked in the house all day, and it was time to take him out for some air today.

He went next door to wake up Yu Qinglan who was still a little confused. The two of them had some breakfast and then went out to find Qingfengtang.

I originally thought that with the eyes of Master Li Danxin, the people he interacted with were definitely not ordinary, and Qingfeng Hall should be famous in Shangyang City. However, after asking around, no one knew that there was such a place in Shangyang City. . Finally, an old man who was born and raised in Shangyang City gave the two of them the direction.

"Twenty years ago, Qingfeng Hall was the best medical clinic in Shangyang City. Then I don't know what happened and it closed. Now I don't know if anyone is still there." The old man sighed, shook his head and left, leaving The two looked at each other.

"Let's go take a look first." Now that we have arrived in Shangyang City, even if we can't find anyone there, we can still give the master an explanation.

However, it was really hard to find the Qingfeng Hall. The two of them found it from the first day of the sunrise to the third day of the sunrise, before they found a long-faded plaque in a desolate alley.

The plaque is made of exquisite mahogany. Although it has gone through years, it still has no cracks. It has three characters "Qingfengtang" written on it. It is now dull, and the few traces of gold powder that remain seem to want to prove to future generations the elegance of the past.

This plaque was not hung on the door, but was thrown carelessly at the door. The dust was thick and there were even two weeds growing on it.

The house next to the plaque was also very dilapidated, and the door was closed. Xu Fu leaned on the crack of the door and took a closer look. Although it was a mess inside, he could tell that it used to be a drug store, but judging from the desolate appearance here, it should be No one has come for a long time.

When the two of them were debating whether to climb over the wall to take a look, they suddenly heard a "creak" sound, and the wooden door actually opened.

"You... uh... what are you doing here?" An old woman with a haggard face and a huge scar on her face seemed to be about to go out. When she saw the two people at the door, she asked expressionlessly.

The old woman burped as soon as she opened her mouth, and you could smell the pungent smell of alcohol from a few steps away.

"Hello, old man." Xu Fu saluted hurriedly. The person in front of him should live here. Maybe he can get news about Fu Songgang from her.

"What old man? You are the old man!"

The old woman snorted angrily and slammed the door again with a bang.

"Why is she like this! It's true that ugly people often cause mischief!"

When Yu Qinglan saw this, she immediately became angry. If she hadn't felt dirty, she would have kicked in the door.

"Don't worry."

Xu Fu asked Yu Qinglan to stay calm, and then he knocked on the door again, "Senior, I'm looking for Fu Songgang from Qingfeng Hall. Do you know this person?"

"Fu Songgang...Fu Songgang...he has been dead a long time ago."

Several murmurs came from the people inside the door, whether they were talking to themselves or answering Xu Fu, but Xu Fu heard them clearly.

"Dead? When did he die?" Xu Fu asked in surprise.

"After all these years, someone is still looking for him?" the old woman said to herself feebly.

"Let's go quickly. Since he is dead, you have completed the task assigned by your master." Yu Qinglan shouted in the alley. He did not want to stay in this dirty place for a moment.

"Who asked you to come?" The old woman's voice came from the door again.

"It's my master. He asked me to deliver elixirs to Fu Songgang of Qingfeng Hall. Since he is no longer here, let's take our leave." Xu Fu replied honestly and was about to leave after that.

"Squeak..."

The old door opened again.

"Who is your master?"

The old woman stared at Xu Fu coldly, as if she wanted to find the answer on his face.

"My master's name is...Li Danxin."

"Li... Danxin!"

The old woman suddenly froze there, her eyes flashed with a look, and immediately became extremely hollow.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The old woman was smiling, but the expression on her face was extremely painful. Two tears fell from the corners of her eyes, leaving two faint tear stains.

"I thought all the tears were gone, but I didn't expect there were still more." The old woman laughed at herself, wiped her face casually, and whispered: "Come in." After that, she turned around and went inside.

"Brother Fu..."

Yu Qinglan pulled Xu Fu's arm with a confused look on her face.

"You take Yuehua for a walk on the street, and I'll find you later."

Xu Fu handed over the few scattered silver coins he had left to Yu Qinglan.

Yu Qinglan happily took it, hugged Yuehua, ran all the way, and disappeared at the end of the alley as if fleeing.

Xu Fu watched Yu Qinglan walk away, turned around and walked into Qingfeng Hall. As he saw through the crack in the door, the hall was in ruins. There are a mess of wooden tables and chairs on the ground. Most of them are dilapidated and no one has cleaned them up. They are now covered with a thick layer of dust.

The old woman was sitting in a trance on the only chair in the hall that was still intact. There were more than a dozen swaying wine jars beside her. It looked like she had just finished drinking, and the dust hadn't had time to collect on them.

Xu Fu rubbed his nose. The rotten smell in the room was mixed with the smell of alcohol, which was really pungent. But Xu Fu didn't pay too much attention. The shack where he lived before herding cattle smelled much worse than here.

"Sit down." The old woman's voice was hoarse and she said feebly, regardless of where Xu Fu sat.

Xu Fu glanced around, pulled out a small wooden stool with half a leg missing from the broken tables and chairs, wiped it twice randomly, and sat down not far from the old woman.

"Li Danxin...isn't he dead yet?" The old woman leaned her head on the back of the chair and asked coldly with her eyes closed.

"Ah? Master, everything is fine with him."

Xu Fu looked at the old woman carefully and realized that she was not as old as she looked. Under the messy gray hair, there were not many wrinkles on her thin face, her eyebrows were slender, her nose was high, and there was a star on her right cheek. Beauty mark.

"Maybe she was still a beauty when she was young." Xu Fu sighed secretly in his heart.

"The most unbearable thing in the world is that a beauty can leave the mirror and leave the tree!" Xu Fu couldn't help but think of a song that Li Wuji often hummed, and he remembered these two lines particularly deeply.

"Everything is fine...you said he asked you to deliver pills to Fu Songgang?"

As the old woman spoke, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xu Fu. As she spoke, she moved the scars on her face slightly. It looked a bit scary in this dark room.

"Yes."

"What elixir?"

"Physical Strengthening Pill."

"Building Strength Pill?" The old woman opened her eyes suddenly as if she was struck by lightning. The wine gourd she held in her hand fell to the ground, but no wine spilled out. It seemed that there was not much wine left in it.

After staying for a moment, the old woman picked up the gourd dejectedly. She bent down but did not get up. She could only hear a slight sound in her throat, which was an uncontrollable choking.

Xu Fu didn't know why the old woman cried like this when she heard Zhuang Body Pill, and he didn't know how to comfort her. He had to sit aside and wait for the old woman to calm down.

After a while, the old woman raised her head, and her eyes became much brighter after being washed by tears.

"He...did he say anything else?" the old woman asked softly.

"No more." Xu Fu thought for a while and replied honestly.

"Why should you come to see others off?" The old woman stood up, as if she was going to go immediately after hearing Xu Fu's answer.

"I don't know either." Xu Fu said truthfully.

"You are his apprentice, how could you not know?" The old woman was obviously a little angry, but she didn't know whether she was angry with Xu Fu or Li Danxin.

"My master went out and didn't say when he would be back or where he was going."

"Where did he live before?"

"Shao Mall."

"Shao Shopping Mall?" The old woman's mouth twitched a few times, and she sneered: "It's a place just a few steps away, and it's been avoided for more than ten years. It's really... really..."

The old woman didn't say any more. She poured the remaining wine from the gourd into her mouth. A lot of the wine flowed out from the corner of her mouth, scratching a small mole at the corner of her mouth and soaking most of her collar.

After taking a few sips of wine, the old woman returned to her original indifferent expression and asked in a cold voice: "Is Li Dan's heart injury healed?"

Xu Fu was shocked. He didn't expect that this old woman even knew the master's secret. It seemed that the relationship between the two was unusual! Since she has already asked, there is no need to hide anything anymore.

"It's not completely healed yet." Xu Fu replied truthfully.

"Where did this body-building pill come from?" the old woman asked again.

"I made this." Xu Fu said, raising his hand, the fourth grade gold star ring was securely placed on the ring finger of his left hand.

"Fourth grade? You are really getting better and better as you live. How can you teach a fourth grade alchemist in so many years?" the old woman said disdainfully, obviously not taking Xu Fu's status as a fourth-grade alchemist seriously.

"It's because of my dull qualifications and it has nothing to do with my master."

Xu Fu felt very uncomfortable when he heard the old woman disparaging Li Danxin. However, the old woman was obviously an old friend of his master, and their relationship was quite close, so he did not get up to argue with her, but his face became a little ugly.

"His qualifications are indeed dull. If people knew that the dignified Sacred Heart Alchemist trained a fourth-grade alchemist in more than ten years, it would be strange not to laugh out loud." The old woman said coldly.

"Sacred Heart Alchemist?" This was the first time Xu Fu heard of this. He didn't expect that the master had such a famous name.

"You don't know?" Seeing Xu Fu's confused look, the old woman frowned and asked, "What have you and your master been doing for so many years?"

"I have been with Master for less than half a year, and Master has not told me this yet." Xu Fu replied in a low voice.

"Less than half a year?"

A look of surprise flashed across the old woman's face. She looked at Xu Fu carefully and couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed Li Danxin."

"Excuse me, does Fu Songgang have any descendants?" Xu Fu saw that this old woman had a close relationship with his master, so he had to place his hopes on her.

"Bring it here!" the old woman stretched out her hand.

"what?"

"Physical Strengthening Pill."

"This is for Fu Songgang."

"I am Fu Songgang!"

Hearing the old woman's words, Xu Fu stood up suddenly.

"Are you Fu Songgang? You just said that Fu Songgang is dead."

"Do you still think I'm alive?"

The old woman smiled bitterly and continued: "This Qingfeng Hall is an ancestral property of my family. I took over the management here more than 20 years ago."

Seeing that Xu Fu still didn't believe it, the old woman who claimed to be Fu Songgang walked to the corner with a lonely face, turned over a few times, and pulled out a small square of stone. She picked it up and wiped it. It turned out to be a jade seal.

I saw the old woman smearing some wine on the floor and pressing it on the dusty table.

The word "Songgang" is vaguely distinguishable.

Xu Fu then took out the jade bottle containing the Strengthening Pill from his arms and handed it over respectfully. However, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. The Qingfeng Hall looked quite large. How could Fu Songgang, the master of the hall, be like this? appearance.

Fu Songgang took the jade bottle, opened it and smelled it, expressionlessly took out a delicate dagger from his waist, raised his hand and cut it on the scar on his face.

Drenched with blood, Fu Songgang seemed unconscious and actually peeled off the flesh at the scar bit by bit.

"Come back tomorrow." Fu Songgang said coldly, with a tone that could not be refused, as if he was ordering a junior. After saying that, he poured the body-strengthening elixir from the jade bottle into his mouth, sat cross-legged, made a mudra with his hands, and began to refine it.

When Xu Fu saw this, he didn't know what to say, so he had to quietly exit, close the door, and while mentally guessing about the relationship between the master and the old woman, he walked towards the market.

As soon as he turned out of the alley, he saw Yu Qinglan using his footwork and running towards him quickly, holding a beast cage in one hand and a wooden sword in the other.

"What's wrong?" Xu Fu asked a little strangely.

"Meet someone thick-skinned."

Yu Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Fu.

"Thick-skinned?"

Before Xu Fu understood what Yu Qinglan meant, he saw a strong man wearing black armor not far away, with a seven or eight-year-old girl sitting on his shoulders, striding towards this side.

"There, there."

The little girl looked like she came from a wealthy family, and her clothes and accessories were quite luxurious. She sat on the shoulders of the strong man and urged him.

"What's the matter?" Xu Fu asked Yu Qinglan softly.

"This is the eldest lady of the He family." Yu Qinglan curled her lips and said disdainfully. If it weren't for the strong man protecting her, he would have given that little brat a lesson.

"Hurry up and hand that fox over to me." The girl on the strong man's shoulder shouted loudly.

Originally, it could be seen that the strong man was very tall when walking among the crowd, but when he got closer, Xu Fu still felt a little shocked. He was no longer short, but he was only at the same level as the strong man's shoulders. In addition, the strong man was wearing thick black armor, and Xu Fu felt as if there was a hill standing in front of him.

"Give me back the white fox!"

The little girl's voice was delicate and her tone was so confident that she felt as if the fox belonged to her.

"This fox is mine, I can't give it to you."

Xu Fu smiled and had no intention of getting along with this little girl.

"Uncle Heijia, grab it quickly!"

The little girl shouted proudly again.

"Black armor?"

Xu Fu frowned. He remembered that He Jin had said in the basement that one of the leaders of the City Lord's Mansion was named Heijia. I wonder if he was the one in front of him.

"One hundred gold, can you sell it?" The strong man called Heijia by the little girl asked angrily. The strong man's face was covered with a visor, and his appearance could not be seen, only a pair of resolute and bright eyes were exposed.

"Not for sale." Xu Fu shook his head slightly.

"Two hundred gold."

"Not for sale."

"Three hundred and fifty gold."

"I won't sell it for any amount of money." Xu Fu said firmly.

"Forget it if they don't want to sell it, I'll buy you something else." Upon seeing this, the strong man named Heijia turned to the little girl on his shoulder and said.

Xu and Yu, who originally thought that a fight would be inevitable, were a little surprised. It was rare to meet a reasonable person, and judging from the bidding style, they were willing to spend 350 gold to buy a toy. They were too doting on this little girl. Drown!

"I don't, I want to!"

The little girl lost her temper on Heijia's shoulders, crying and slapping Heijia's helmet, obviously unwilling to give up.

"How brave are you? How dare you not show respect to Master Heijia?" Several people who looked like followers followed the strong man. Seeing this, one of them shouted loudly.

"Lord Black Armor?"

Xu Fu felt a little uneasy.

"Lord Heijia is the garrison commander of the City Lord's Mansion. If you piss off the City Lord's Mansion, you will reap the rewards." Another follower yelled viciously.

"As expected, it's the black armor from the City Lord's Mansion!"

The trace of luck in Xu Fu's heart disappeared at this moment. Looking at the black armor in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the shadow killer in the basement.

He didn't expect to meet someone from the City Lord's Mansion so soon, and Xu Fu felt a little guilty.
