Origin

Hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan's heart trembled, "Is there something wrong with the alchemy cauldron?"

Wang Xinran nodded and said, "Yes, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem, and she's not very anxious."

"I'll go take a look first." Wu Zhongyuan turned and walked towards the door.

Wang Xinran took off his cloak from the hanger and followed, "I'll go with you."

There were many female guards in the harem. When they saw the two of them going out, several yellow-robed guards who were patrolling outside the middle palace came over immediately. If they didn't stop them, the yellow-robed guards would follow them all the time. If they didn't want the guards to let them go, To follow, just wave to them or shake your head, and they will stop.

Wu Zhongyuan was not used to being followed by a group of people. He waved to them before the guards could approach, and then headed to the Alchemy Palace with Wang Xinran.

Even though it is night, there are still people standing outside the Alchemy Palace. Most of them are our own warriors, who are mainly responsible for security. If the elixir is someone else's, the owner of the material will wait outside the palace. No more than two people can be allowed. .

Waiting outside the hall this time was an elderly couple. Wu Zhongyuan had met this elderly couple before. These two people were aliens. Earlier, they had donated the lion-dragon rake, one of the psychic weapons. .

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran arriving, everyone on their side saluted them one after another. The yellow-faced old man and the white-faced old woman also came up and said hello with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and exchanged greetings with the two of them, then walked towards Jiang Nan who heard the sound and walked out of the Alchemy Hall.

"What happened?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.

Jiang Nan did not answer. He winked at Wu Zhongyuan and then turned and walked into the Alchemy Hall.

Wang Xinran also followed in, but she did not approach the Hunyuan Cauldron. Instead, she walked towards the tables in the Alchemy Hall and sat down on one of the seats.

Jiang Nan took Wu Zhongyuan to the south side of Danding and pointed to an area of ​​Danding, "Look here."

Wu Zhongyuan took a closer look and saw an extremely fine crack on the alchemy cauldron. It was about three inches long and as thin as an ox hair. It would be difficult to detect without careful observation.

"When did it appear?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, A Luo discovered it," Jiang Nan pointed to another area, "There are three similar cracks here, and this one is the most obvious."

Wu Zhongyuan looked carefully.

Although the cracks are subtle, they are very obvious. If you look closely, you can easily find that the cracks are new. There is no doubt that these cracks have appeared recently.

Although there are cracks on the tripod, they are not penetrating, and they do not affect the sealing and integrity of the tripod. However, if the cracks continue to expand, the tripod may leak. This tripod is made of black iron. Once it leaks, The gas will be irreparable.

Wu Zhongyuan's cultivation was so pure that he could see even more subtle cracks that Jiang Nan and A Luo could not see. After walking around the alchemy cauldron, he found that there were more than twenty cracks, almost all over the alchemy cauldron.

When Wu Zhongyuan turned back to his original position, Jiang Nan looked at him with questioning eyes.

Wu Zhongyuan said calmly, "Everything has a certain lifespan, and the Hunyuan Cauldron is no exception. Its end may be approaching soon."

"What should we do?" Jiang Nan asked in a low voice.

Wu Zhongyuan asked instead, "How many more have not been fulfilled?"

Jiang Nan said, "You previously set the furnace to be opened ninety-nine times, so we will accept the deposit according to this number. We have already opened the furnace sixty-seven times before, and there are still twenty-two furnaces left."

"Continue to open the furnace," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If the alchemy cauldron is damaged during the process, we must not continue. The elixirs that belonged to us in the previous furnace will be compensated to the person who borrowed the alchemy cauldron."

Jiang Nan nodded and asked, "Can't it be repaired?"

"No," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Even if it could be done, it would not be repaired. This thing is too unnatural and the energy is so strong that there is no need to change it."

Jiang Nan nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Jiang Nan was tired, Wu Zhongyuan said, "After refining this furnace, rest for a day."

"Everyone came from outside the city..."

Before Jiang Nan could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted her and said, "Let them wait."

Jiang Nan said nothing more.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded to A Luo who was standing aside, and then left the Alchemy Hall with Wang Xinran.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan coming out, the yellow-faced old man and the white-faced old woman came up to them with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan had had a brief conversation with the two of them before and knew that they were about to live until their end of life. He borrowed the alchemy cauldron just to refine the Three Void Spiritual Pills to extend their lifespan.

Thinking that the two men had presented a lion-dragon rake before, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and rushed to Jiang Nan, who was escorting them out, and said, "These two elders once presented psychic weapons and fire lizard inner elixirs, which contributed to the human race and borrowed the elixir cauldron." No gift money is required, and all the elixirs obtained from opening the furnace twice belong to them."

As soon as these words came out, the yellow-faced old man and the white-faced old woman were shocked and ecstatic, and thanked them repeatedly.

"The kindness of the Golden Dragon and the Yellow Emperor will never be forgotten by our husband and wife. If we are asked to do anything in the future, we will never refuse." The yellow-faced old man was very moved.

"You don't have many teeth to begin with." Wu Zhongyuan joked with a smile.

The white-faced old woman glanced at the yellow-faced old man, "My husband can't speak. Don't blame Mr. Huangdi. Our couple live in the Xitu Lizard Valley and have some experience in Qihuang miscellaneous things. If Mr. Huangdi can use us, he can send someone here." Go and summon.”

Before Wu Zhongyuan could answer, the yellow-faced old man said, "As long as you can speak, who is the Golden Dragon and Yellow Emperor? He acts openly and aboveboard, and he has great cultivation. If you want to harm others, you need to poison him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about," the white-faced old woman retorted with a glare, "Lord Huang Di is aboveboard, how can he harm others?"

The two quarreled and glared at each other, unaware that Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran had turned around and left.

"Does the Qihuang miscellaneous matter mentioned by the old lady mean poison?" Wang Xinran asked casually.

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Both of them are not humans. The old man is a weasel and the old lady is a white viper."

"You said they donated the Fire Lizard Inner Elixir before. What is the Fire Lizard Inner Elixir?" Wang Xinran asked again.

"As the name suggests, it is the inner elixir of the salamander, which can ward off hundreds of poisons. They gave me a lot of these inner elixirs, dozens of them." When Wu Zhongyuan said this, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I didn't see it last time I went back. When we arrived at Huang Hailin, how was he?"

The reason Wu Zhongyuan thought of Huang Hailin was because after he left modern times, Huang Hailin helped Wang Xinran go to Lop Nur to find the possible spiritual stone, and there was a fire-breathing lizard living in that area.

"He retired." Wang Xinran said casually.

"It's a good ending to be able to retire." Wu Zhongyuan said. Huang Hailin once used the 18th Branch's analysis report on the teleportation formation to exchange for a spirit stone with Zhao Ying's enemy camp. Doing so not only violated discipline but also violated law.

Wang Xinran did not want to talk too much about Huang Hailin. The reason was very simple. Huang Hailin once pursued her after Wu Zhongyuan left. Although she did not agree, Huang Hailin pursued her. A smart woman would not show off how much she has to her man. Even if a man has pursued his own love, a smart man will not show off to his woman how many women like him. It is not deliberately concealing it, but it is completely unnecessary.

Life is not only rough and turbulent, but also calm and calm. In the following days, Wu Zhongyuan stayed in Youxiong to handle government affairs. In the past few days, the old blind man has been out of shape. It's not that he has anything on his mind, but that he has been blind for so many years. It was a bit unaccustomed and uncomfortable to suddenly see the light again, just like his sudden promotion to Taiyuan felt unreal.

In my spare time, I studied the mirror I got from Minshan. On the surface, this mirror is no different from an ordinary mercury mirror. However, this object is not controlled by the five elements of spiritual energy. This shows that it is an extraterrestrial object. , as for its actual use, it is still unknown.

When handling government affairs, Wu Zhongyuan issued an imperial edict to track down the whereabouts of the young man and woman who plotted against Jiang Nan that day and the Minshan Dai Niang. This is not an urgent matter, and the major cities can pay attention to it. Once clues are found, Report it immediately.

Since it was still early before the full moon, Wu Zhongyuan was in no hurry to go to the underground palace where Huang Mao was, but he was a restless person, so he called Wang Xinran after handling the government affairs at hand.

Wang Xinran has a debit note from Leprongling in his hand, which records three ancient tombs with supernatural phenomena. The two of them have only explored one before, and there are two that they have never set foot in. It is rare to take a break from the busy work, so they might as well go and explore …
