Several days had passed since the banquet hosted by the Cangwu Sect for various sects in Wudong ended.

Most of the monks who were still staying in the Cangwu Sect for sightseeing also said goodbye and left.

Han Honghua, Yuan Xiao, Yue Qiaoling, the future pillars of Wudong who were on good terms with Kong Ju, also said goodbye to Kong Ju after he and Shangguan Yuzhou accompanied them for three days.

The Cangwu Sect has become much quieter.

However, the disciples' enthusiasm remained unabated, and they were still immersed in the joy of their sect becoming the number one in Wudong.

As the sect becomes stronger, disciples of the Cangwu sect naturally gain more confidence.

Whether it is traveling in Wudong in the future or in terms of various resources, there will definitely be many conveniences.

Many disciples even fantasized about relying on the reputation of the Cangwu Sect to enjoy the feeling of being domineering and powerful outside in the future.

Huangfu Ying had long seen through the thoughts of these disciples.

On the third day after the banquet, ten new rules were promulgated to restrain the disciples.

After all, many of the monks who participated in the campaign against Dingyue Sect did so because they were bullied by Dingyue Sect on a daily basis and they rebelled in anger.

Although this was not the main reason for the demise of Dingyue Sect, it was one of the many factors.

Huangfu Ying didn't want the Cangwu Sect to follow in the footsteps of the Dingyue Sect.

Furthermore, since Huangfu Ying came to power, he has always governed the sect with a strict self-discipline style.

He never showed mercy to his disciples who killed innocent people or acted violently.

Especially those disciples who dare to touch the essence of human spirit are hated, and the Law Enforcement Hall exists for this reason.

In this way, those disciples with evil intentions would no longer dare to have those dirty thoughts.

On the fifth day after Han Honghua and others left.

Kong Ju has had a leisurely life these days, except for his daily practice.

It is to study the elixir recipe, and then read the relevant documents of the Tianqi Dynasty to prepare for the future trip to Tianqi.

The rest of the time he spent accompanying Mu Xiaoye and Dapeng to the mountains behind the sect, and teaching Mu Xiaoye to identify herbs to pass the time.

The progress of cultivation is slow.

There is no way around it. Upgrading the wheel is different from maintaining it. Every step will be extremely difficult.

Kong Ju has just reached the middle stage of foundation building. If he wants to make further progress, he needs more time.

On the sixth day, Kong Ju walked out of a courtyard in Yaofeng.

Behind him, Elder Lu escorted him to the door.

"Elder Lu, please stay!" Kong Ju bowed respectfully towards Lu Pingchang, stopping the old man from seeing him off.

He had just asked some questions about the Dao of Alchemy in Lu Pingchang. The old man answered all his questions and was particularly detailed in his explanations.

Some things were difficult to express in words, so he would hesitate for a long time before responding, for fear of leading Kong Ju astray.

Although Lu Pingchang was not his master of alchemy, his every word and action showed that he was teaching Kong Ju as if he were his own disciple.

Kong Ju silently remembered his kindness and became more respectful to him.

"If you can't find me at Yaofeng in the future, just come to the Alchemy Pavilion directly. You don't need to inform anyone else, you can go in directly." Before leaving, Lu Pingchang specifically reminded Kong Ju, as if he wanted to train Kong Ju to become a master of alchemy in the sect.

Kong Ju nodded and said goodbye to Lu Pingchang again.

Looking at Kong Ju's departing figure, Lu Pingchang stood at the door for a long time and sighed.

"What a pity, he is Huangfu Ying's disciple."

Kong Ju's attainments in alchemy amazed Lu Pingchang.

Some issues even require him to consider for a long time.

Obviously, Kong Ju's accumulation of knowledge in alchemy is extremely rare among second-grade alchemists.

Previously, Lu Pingchang still believed that Kong Jue's ability to refine the divine Shenglun Pill was a matter of luck, but now he completely regarded Kong Jue as a genius in alchemy.

It’s a pity that since he is Huangfu Ying’s disciple, Lu Pingchang would never dare to mention the matter of accepting him as a disciple.

Kong Ju was in a good mood when he left Lu Pingchang's courtyard.

Most of his insights into the Dao of Alchemy came from Gexia, but he still needed guidance on the details.

Lu Pingchang is the most suitable candidate for the entire Cangwu School.

He benefited a lot from the one-day discussion.

Moreover, before leaving, Lu Pingchang also gave two elixir recipes to Kong Ju.

One of the pill recipes is the Great Mirror-breaking Pill, which has a significant effect on the Ascension Wheel monks.

"I can collect the ingredients for the Great Mirror-breaking Pill if I get a chance. Unfortunately, the main ingredients are hard to find. Even Baicao Pavilion doesn't sell them. I can only look for them slowly." Kong Ju held the pill recipe he got from Lu Pingchang in his pocket, silently planning his future travels in search of elixirs.

Kong Ju did not return to his cave immediately, but flew into the air and went to the Golden Peak adjacent to Yaoshan, which was the core area of ​​Caiyuan Pavilion.

The spiritual objects inside can only be purchased by inner disciples.

Kong Ju planned to purchase some puppet refining materials from the Caiyuan Pavilion in order to refine the two Shenglun puppets that Han Honghua had given him.

Caiyuan Pavilion has always been operated by Shi Jinchi.

As the place where the inner gate's financial resources flow, this is naturally the most luxurious place in the entire inner gate.

As soon as Kong Jue stepped into it, he felt the golden and magnificent splendor, jewels and precious stones immediately caught his eyes.

Without wasting any time, he walked straight to an elder on duty who was in charge of the business dealings of Caiyuan Pavilion and took out a list.

It is densely packed with spiritual objects needed for refining intermediate puppets.

The elder was not fat, had a mustache, and the shrewdness in his eyes was no less than that of Shi Jinchi.

After taking a quick look at the list, he calmly reported the spiritual crystals needed for Kong Ju's purchase.

"Nine thousand and eighty-three spirit crystals, minus the decimals, I'll count it as nine thousand for you."

"How much?" Kong Ju thought he had misheard and pointed to the list to confirm again.

"Most of the materials above are for refining equipment, and the spiritual medicines are also of the second grade." The man with a moustache took Kong Ju's list and waved it in his hand, pointing to the items on it and quoting the prices one by one, and pointed to the last item on the list.

"The demon blood of this Shenglun realm is the most expensive."

"After the campaign against Dingyue Sect, the two Qinghu Demon Kings became friends with our sect. The Qinghu Demon Clan cannot be touched. Now even most of the refining materials come from the Xiling Mountains."

"This mountain is high and the road is long. It's hard to hunt the ascending monster beasts, so it's naturally expensive."

The man with the mustache did not deceive Kong Jue. The materials for refining intermediate-level puppets were far superior to those for refining low-level puppets.

Moreover, his quotation was accurate to every spirit stone, and Kong Ju could not find any fault with it.

I can only grit my teeth and say: "Buy it!"

Kong Ju's net worth, which had just increased to 20,000 after he killed the Shenglun monk in Qinghu blessed land, shrank by half in an instant.

When he walked out of Caiyuan Pavilion holding the storage bag containing puppet refining materials, there was still a look of heartache on his face.

He began to worry about the spirit crystal again.

"In the Shenglun realm, whether it is spiritual materials or spiritual medicine, they are several times more expensive than Yanglun."

"I still need to refine pills with my wealth, so it's probably not enough to squander."

"I have to find a way to make money."

When Mu Xiaoye accepts the inheritance of Guanghan Palace, if I, as the eldest senior brother, don't give her something presentable, wouldn't I be mistreating my junior sister?

"Didn't Senior Sister Zhai and Senior Brother Zong Changsong say they wanted to make puppets? It's a way to make money. I'll ask them when I have time."

Kong Ju has begun to shift his target to his senior brothers and sisters in his own sect.

"I still have eighteen Shenglun Pills left, one of which is a top-grade one, worth at least ten thousand spirit crystals."

"But now that the Qinghu blessed land has just been opened, the brothers and sisters in the sect have all made good gains, so the price of the Shenglun Pill has probably been lowered a lot. It will only be worthwhile to wait for two years and wait until the price goes up before selling it."

"Or we can wait until we get to the Tianqi Dynasty to sell it. There is no Star Mang Huairou Grass there, so the price might be higher."

Kong Ju has shown his potential as a profiteer and has begun to think about taking advantage of Tianqi.

He had no idea that he had already reached the foot of Caiyuan Pavilion.

A young man dressed in bright yellow three-clawed dragon satin stood straight on the path that Kong Jue must pass through.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He was tall and straight, and looked a bit more sturdy than Kong Jue's thin figure. His every move was full of nobility.

Not only does he have a great temperament, his facial features are also very handsome, and his aura of ascending wheel is full of oppression.

Kong Ju's virtual soul looked at his dantian, but could only see a captivating golden light, which was impenetrable.

This person is none other than the second prince of the Tianqi Dynasty, Bai Yuanjin.

All the monks who came to congratulate him had left, but he hadn't left yet.

He then stood straight in front of Kong Ju, with a pair of eyes containing golden light similar to Huangfu Wuqin's, staring straight at the latter, his eyes full of aggression.

"This guy has bad intentions. Is he here to stop me?" Kong Ju raised his tongue and gently slid it across his upper palate. His cold pupils met the Second Prince's gaze without any fear.

He recalled that there seemed to be no verbal communication between him and the second prince, let alone any grudges.

This behavior made Kong Ju a little confused, so he could only speak in a gentle voice, saying slowly: "The second prince's clothes are very beautiful, they are dazzling to my eyes."

In terms of weirdness, among the Cangwu inner sect, only Shangguan Yuzhou can barely compete with Kong Ju.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Second Prince's already unfriendly expression darkened.

However, Kong Ju's aura was as deep as a dark pool, and the Guanghan Taiyin Sutra and the essence of frost and snow complemented each other. Even Huangfu Ying could not see through it, let alone the second prince.

He felt that Kong Ju was much stronger than Yuan Xiao, but the more so, the more it stimulated his desire to conquer with the "Imperial Dragon Qi".

The second prince spoke in a deep voice: "Are you Kong Ju?"

"No!" Kong Ju shook his head without thinking. Blessed with the essence of frost and snow, he looked aloof and reserved, not like someone who would lie.

Coupled with Kong Ju's superb acting skills, even the Second Prince was stunned for a moment.

Then, Kong Jue said softly, "My name is Zong Changsong. You've got the wrong person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Ju had already walked past the Second Prince, who had not yet recovered from his daze.

Before leaving, he gave a serious warning: "You come to block people without knowing them. The people of the Tianqi Dynasty are really reckless."

The second prince felt that he was in the wrong and remained silent.

It was not until Kong Ju left Caiyuan Pavilion that the Second Prince frowned in frustration and was about to leave.

At this moment, a sword light passed above the Caiyuan Pavilion, as if it saw the second prince, and immediately fell from the sky.

The face of a young swordsman with a stubble and unkempt appearance was revealed.

He bowed to the Second Prince kindly and asked, "Where are you going, Second Prince? The five peaks of the inner sect are too easy to get confused. If you can't find the way, I can take you there."

The second prince responded to other people appropriately and with the dignity of a royal family, and also returned the greeting.

In order to prevent the misunderstanding from happening again, he hesitated for a while and said, "I'm looking for Kong Ju. Does this Taoist know where his cave is?"

"Kong Ju!" The sword cultivator was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pointed in the direction Kong Ju left.

"That person just now was Junior Brother Kong Ju."

"He is Kong Ju?" The second prince was stunned for a moment, then he recalled the elegant temperament of the monk just now, and he didn't seem like someone who was lying.

He immediately explained: "He said his name is Zong Changsong!"

The sword cultivator was also stunned for a moment, pointed at his nose, and explained: "I am Zong Changsong!"

…

Kong Ju Cave, just now he was under the golden peak, away from the Second Prince's distance that he could not sense him, and then he ran back as fast as he could.

There was absolutely no chance for the Second Prince to find himself.

It was not until the cave formation was closed that Kong Ju showed a playful smile on his face, and said sarcastically: "Are all the people in the Tianqi Dynasty so stupid? With such a low brain, they came to Wudong and had to help count the money after being sold."

Although he didn't know why the Second Prince was hostile to him, there were too many crazy people in this world, so Kong Ju was too lazy to delve into it.

Anyway, he would not engage in meaningless fights with others. Winning would be tiring, and losing would be shameful.

Although Kong Ju did not think he would lose to the second prince.

"Speaking of which, have the people from the Tianqi Dynasty stayed in the Cangwu Sect for too long? Why haven't they left yet?" Kong Ju muttered. He had always viewed the sudden visit of the Tianqi Dynasty as ill intentions.

I just don’t know what kind of agreement Prince Qingluan and Huangfu Ying reached, and they actually stayed in the inner gate all this time.

"Never mind him. Boss Huangfu knows what he's doing. Why should I worry about it?" Kong Ju walked unsteadily to the center of the cave with his hands behind his back, and spread all the materials for making intermediate puppets purchased from Caiyuan Pavilion this time on the ground.

Then he took out the two bodies of the powerful Dingyue Sect's Shenglun warriors that Han Honghua had given to him.

This time, he spent a huge amount of money to refine these two intermediate puppets.

While the sect has nothing to do now, of course I have to tinker with these two future upgrade puppets.

Looking at what was in front of him, Kong Ju touched his chin and felt that something was missing.

He then took out two portions of essence of heaven and earth from the Qiankun bag.

A purple-black color, accompanied by a thick miasma.

A deep yellow color gives people a heavy feeling.

The two essences of heaven and earth were the purple-black poisonous miasma ranked 97th in quality, which Kong Jue had snatched from Yan Jinchang.

As well as the Qinghu blessed land, the mountain stone spirit ranked 92nd in character that was obtained by killing Dingyue Zong Shenglun.

Both portions of the Essence of Heaven and Earth are among the top 100 in terms of character. If they were placed in Wudong, they would surely attract countless cultivators.

"Isn't it too extravagant to use these two portions of the essence of heaven and earth to refine a puppet?" Kong Ju wrapped the two portions of the essence of heaven and earth with spiritual power, placed them in his hands and looked at them, seeming a little hesitant.

The value of these two essences of heaven and earth is enough for Kong Ju to sell them at a good price and fill his empty wallet.

But when he thought that the quality of the essence of heaven and earth was related to the combat effectiveness of the puppet, Kong Ju could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Previously, he used the remnant breath of Feng Yu, whose character was ranked over 300, to refine a low-level puppet. Because it inherited the characteristics of Feng Yu's remnant breath, the puppet could fly.

It made Han Honghua salivate.

If you are refining a mid-level puppet, the effect will definitely be better if you use these two portions of essence of heaven and earth within a hundred.

"Begin!" Having made the decision, Kong Ju did not hesitate. He took out the Golden Furnace and began to put the puppet refining materials into it.

I'm back home, only one update today.
