At the door of Tripod Hall, Wu Gui, who
walked in front, suddenly stopped.
"Junior brother, this Tripod Hall
is extremely hot inside. You just enter our sect, so you don't know. After
entering it, you must remember to follow me." Wu Gui warned Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao nodded his head frankly.
Lin Xiao's attitude made Wu Gui feel
very satisfied. He smiled and stretched out his hand to push the door.
When the door of Tripod Hall opened, a
wave of heat came up, as if they were in a heating stove.
But Lin Xiao didn't respond to this, he
just followed Wu Gui to go inside.
Along the way, Lin Xiao's eyes ran down
randomly. The big hall of the Tripod
Hall was placed with more than a dozen furnaces, and there were raging flames
under each furnace. But what surprised Lin Xiao was that there was no one in the
Lin Xiao suddenly paused his steps, and
then he stared at a corner of the hall. Over there, a man stood quietly beside
The man should not be very tall, and he
was sheltered by a furnace. Lin Xiao could only see that man's bun on the top
of his head. Judging from his action, he was bending down to look for
Wu Gui turned around and saw Lin Xiao's
strange face. He thought Lin Xiao could not bear the high temperature in the
hall. When he was about to open his mouth, he felt something wrong. Following
Lin Xiao's eyes, he also found the man standing in the corner.
"Who is there?" Wu Gui frowned
and asked. He felt a little unhappy.
If that man was an alchemy assistant of
Tripod Hall, that would be fine, but in case that man was a superior alchemist
of the sect, then Wu Gui could not do what he planned to do next. Wu Gui didn't have the courage to show
off in front of that man.
But when the man raised his head, Wu Gui
became happy again, because he scarcely remembered that wrinkled old face.
"Junior brother Lin Xiao, the
alchemy in fact is not easier than the martial arts. You see, some people have
no gift of alchemy, even though they have been working hard for decades, they
eventually will gain nothing. Perhaps they will spend their whole life studying
a simple alchemy prescription."
Wu Gui glanced at the corner while he
was talking, and then he looked at Lin Xiao road with elation.
Lin Xiao cast his eyes on the old man
with a bun at the corner, and then looked at Wu Gui with a strange look. Wu Gui
even regarded the old man as a mediocre person who idled away his time. Lin
Xiao really admired this opinionated guy.
Although Lin Xiao's cultivation base was
worse than that of Wu Gui, he was more
discerning than Wu Gui. This old man actually let Lin Xiao almost not discover
him, showing that at least the old man had a high cultivation
Lin Xiao's experience in the Mount
Clouds Dream had made him extremely sensitive to everything, but he didn't feel
the existence of the old man. And now Lin Xiao used his spiritual sense to feel,
if the old man hadn't been in his sight, he could have not felt the existence
of the old man. This made Lin Xiao reminded of theory that man was an integral
The admiration in Lin Xiao's eyes made Wu
Gui feel comfortable. He looked at Lin Xiao, and then glanced at the corner with
smile, "Junior brother Lin Xiao, you just enter our sect, so you do not know
about the alchemy. Today, I'm in a good mood, hence, I'll tell you the
Lin Xiao looked at Wu Gui with a strange
look, but still did not speak.
Wu Gui didn't notice Lin Xiao's look, he
walked to a furnace and pointed to the burning object below, saying. "Look!
This is fire barite. It's fire resistant."
Lin Xiao nodded his head, looking modest.
Seeing this, Wu Gui became more
energetic, "Junior brother, the alchemy pays attention to the proportion
of medicinal materials, fire-control time and so on. Of course, these are too complicated
to you. Today, I want to tell you the most basic thing, the fire-control mudras!"\n
