Having said that, Kong Ju really didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, he and Shangguan Yuzhou were not seriously injured, but Niu Fan almost lost his life because of his own actions.

The three of them laughed and put aside their grudges.

Having said this, Lan Chi finally told the truth about the purpose of this trip.

"The last time the witches came to attack Quanzhou, there was a witch who had reached the third level of the Ascension Wheel, and two Taiguangs."

"Niu Fan and I are worried that they will send more witches next time."

"Right now, only Palace Master Wen and the two of us can fight in Quanzhou. The two Shengluns under Palace Master Wen are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and their Dao foundation is only at the middle level of the Yellow Rank. In a real battle, they are almost useless."

"If we are unable to resist, I hope that Master Bingpo can put aside past grudges and help us for the sake of the people of Quanzhou."

Lan Chi and Niu Fan went through so much trouble to inform Kong Ju about Shangguan Yuzhou's attack and to apologize.

It was to ask Kong Ju to help them when they encountered an irresistible crisis.

Kong Ju also roughly guessed it, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Sure enough, you have something to ask of me."

However, they seemed unaware that they had already promised Mansion Master Wen that they would take action.

I don’t know whether Lord Wen forgot to tell them or he kept it intentionally.

Kong Ju looked at the wine glass in his hand with a thoughtful look in his eyes. After a moment, a look of enlightenment appeared on his face and he figured out the reason.

"So that's how it is. Mansion Master Wen deliberately didn't tell them so that I could do them a favor."

Lord Wen is able to rule a place, so he is not a simple person.

The purpose of this move is to make the two imperial guards lower their posture and come to visit him, giving him a way out.

As long as the relationship between the two sides is eased, not only can the conflict in the imperial city be put to rest, but if they really encounter the witches of the Zhuyin tribe in the future, they will have no grudges in their hearts when they fight against the enemy together.

"Master Wen is really thoughtful."

After figuring out the reason, Kong Ju couldn't help but sigh at the Lord Wen's plan. It turned out that the old ones are the wisest.

However, while Kong Ju was thinking, the voice of Zai Fu Qiaoqiao rang in his ears.

Seeing that the two people who had had a feud with Kong Ju were so shameless and made such a request, she couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically: "After saying so much, you just want my young master to take action. I don't know whether the previous apology was sincere or just a fake flattery."

"If it weren't for this disaster, you wouldn't even be able to get in."

"Are all the imperial guards of the Tianqi Dynasty two-faced villains like you?"

Zai Fuqiao's words were sharp and merciless.

Now she recognized Kong Ju as her leader, and everything was based on Kong Ju's interests. She was not afraid of these two military commanders.

Niu Fan's face turned red, and Lan Chi also showed a look of shame.

"Fellow Daoist, what you said is absolutely right. Our visit this time is indeed a bit of a gambler's job. We want to ease the relationship with Master Bingpo, but we also want him to help us." Lan Chi, who usually speaks fluently, also stumbled when he spoke.

But he had no choice but to continue to fight for Kong Ju.

"But we are not just doing this for ourselves. If Quanzhou is hit by a disaster, hundreds of thousands of people in the city will also suffer the same fate."

Kong Ju had already promised Lord Wen a long time ago, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

Wen Mansion Master had taken great pains to invite these two people over, so he didn't want to offend him.

However, Kong Ju still felt very comfortable after hearing what Zai Fu Qiaoqiao said.

After secretly praising Zaifu Qiaoqiao, his face became solemn and he said righteously: "The Fifth Princess of the Imperial Dynasty is my master's wife. Naturally, I will not ignore the affairs of the Tianqi Dynasty."

"Let's put our grievances aside for now. If there is anything that requires my help, I will do my best to help you."

Not only did Niu Fan and Lan Chi look grateful after hearing this, but even Cong Yun couldn't help but stare at Kong Ju for a few times and said, "Donor Kong is so righteous!"

Kong Ju was already very happy in his heart, as the Zhu Yin tribe was obviously targeting him.

When you help them openly, you are actually helping yourself.

Instead, he used their power to deal with the Zhuyin tribe.

"In this case, the Imperial Guards owe me a favor. Damn it, you can't make things difficult for me next time you go to the Imperial City."

Kong Jue was happily calculating.

After Kong Ju readily agreed, Niu Fan and Lan Chi were naturally satisfied, and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

The five of them drank and chatted until late at night.

Kong Ju had just escorted two imperial guards to the door.

"Brother Kong, I've made you my friend. When we go to the Imperial City next time, Lao Niu will treat us and we'll go to Dengxian Tower and drink for three days and three nights."

Before leaving, Niu Fan patted his chest and said that he would treat Kong Ju to a drink.

However, before leaving, Kong Ju reminded the two that he might need to go into seclusion for a while to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, and might not come out in the short term.

If I am not around, I can ask Zai Fu Qiaoqiao to come find me. As long as it is not a critical moment, I will definitely respond.

At this time, Zongyun stood up and said with a kind smile: "It's okay, Master Kong, just go into seclusion with peace of mind. I, the monk, drank so much of your wine, but it can't be in vain. This is a major event concerning the people of Quanzhou, and I will not sit idly by."

The two military commanders naturally thanked Congyun profusely before leaving on the snow.

Back in the house, Kong Ju smiled and asked Cong Yun:

"Monk, this is the grudge between Tianqi and Gujiang. Aren't you afraid that your little Leiyin Temple will be dragged into it?"

"This involves hundreds of thousands of lives, so there is no need to talk about grudges." Congyun didn't care and maintained a calm attitude.

If he hadn't stuffed wine and meat into his mouth while talking, he would have really looked like a great monk.

"Okay!" Seeing that there were no outsiders present and Cong Yun had no restrictions on eating and drinking, Kong Ju nodded secretly.

He had seen Cong Yun's methods, so it would be great if he was willing to take action.

If he can join forces with me to fight the enemy, then even if the Soul-Transforming Wizard comes, he will also have the ability to protect himself.

As for killing the soul-transforming witch cultivator, Kong Ju didn't even dare to think about it.

The cultivation of cultivators in the Soul Transformation Realm has undergone a qualitative change. Look at Dongxian, he was able to defeat Ge Xia, the great palm-living master, by relying on his Soul Transformation cultivation.

Although the latter was drugged with the Death God Powder, it was enough to prove the horror of the Soul Transformation.

While Congyun is still indulging in wine and meat.

Zaifu Qiaoqiao, who had been following Kong Ju silently, finally found an opportunity to talk to Kong Ju alone.

He transmitted the message worriedly, "Sir, there are two soul-transforming witches in the Zhuyin tribe. One of them is Zhuo Hu, who has been a soul-transforming witch for many years. In Gujiang, under the control of the master, no more than five people can get the upper hand from him."

"He has absolutely extraordinary strength, and is highly regarded by the current patriarch of the Jinming tribe."

"It is said that a priest named Day and Wind has already glimpsed the threshold of the Palm of Life. The reason he has not been able to break through is simply because he is not sure."

"No matter which of them comes to Tianqi this time, we may be killed if we run into them."

"After you break through, it would be best for us to leave Quanzhou as soon as possible, as this is a dangerous place."

Zai Fu Qiaoqiao knew the Zhuyin tribe very well. After listening to the information she slowly revealed, Kong Ju also felt how difficult these two souls were.

He was not the type to fight to the death, so he immediately smiled with relief and said slowly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Firstly, it is still unknown whether the soul of Zhuyin tribe will come to Quanzhou.

Secondly, after his breakthrough, he would definitely leave.

I will only take action when I am in Quanzhou, that's all.

After hearing Kong Ju's words, Zaifu Qiaoqiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Kong Ju would put herself in danger because of his promise.

All I can say is that she doesn't understand Kong Ju at all.

The guests have left.

After having enough wine and meat, Cong Yun went back to meditate early, yawning.

Zaifu Qiaoqiao acted as a bodyguard. After saying something to Kong Ju, he walked out of the Qingzhu Courtyard and prepared to go outside the market to take some early warning measures.

"Zaifu Qiaoqiao is really flawless in what she does. Once the Tianqi matter is settled, it may not be a bad idea to take her back to Cangwu Sect." Kong Ju smiled gently as he watched Zaifu Qiaoqiao disappear in the wind and snow.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Wudong is not as averse to witch cultivation as Tianqi is, so there is no need to hide the matter like it is now when bringing Zaifu Qiaoqiao back to Wudong.

The main reason is that Kong Ju appreciates her work very much, and keeping her around can save a lot of trouble.

After saying that, Kong Ju also walked slowly into the bedroom where he was staying with his hands behind his back.

After returning from Kuruo Temple, before he had time to study the basalt furnace he brought with him, Niu Fan and Lan Chi came to visit.

Now that they have all left, Kong Ju has some free time.

He took out the tortoise furnace and the basalt furnace obtained from Kurawa Temple and placed them in the center of the room.

His eyes moved back and forth between the two almost identical alchemy furnaces.

The two are almost identical in terms of refining process and some hidden details. If it weren't for the extra piece of tortoise shell on the lid of the tortoise furnace, even Kong Ju would have been difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

He couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know which expert did it in the first place. What was the purpose of splitting the alchemy furnace into two?"

While muttering to himself, Kong Ju's hands were not idle.

First, he removed the lid of the tortoise furnace from the tortoise furnace, and then he pulled off the lid of the basalt furnace and threw it on the ground.

The process was easier than he imagined.

"Let me see what's so special about your basalt furnace!" Holding the cool lid of the basalt furnace, Kong Ju licked his lips with his tongue and then carefully placed it on the basalt furnace.

Click! When the furnace cover touches the basalt furnace body, a crisp sound is heard.

The furnace cover was sucked onto the furnace body in this way, fitting perfectly without any gaps, forming a seamless whole.

It was almost the moment when the furnace cover and furnace body were closed.

Buzz! A slight wave spread out as the basalt furnace trembled, forming a circle of ripples that were invisible to the naked eye, spreading from Kong Ju's bedroom to the surroundings.

The ripples passed through Kong Ju's body, causing his blood to boil slightly, with a touch as soft as warm water.

Soon the ripples spread beyond the Green Bamboo Courtyard, and the subtle fluctuations covered the entire Lingzhu Market.

The gentle ripples shook off the white snow that was pressed against the spiritual bamboo.

Soon, the fluctuation disappeared between heaven and earth, silently, as if it had never appeared.

In the bedroom, Kong Ju stared at the basalt furnace in front of him without blinking.

The moment the wave was transmitted, a sound like a tidal wave was heard in the basalt furnace.

Wow! Kong Jue, who was less than three feet away from the basalt furnace, could even feel the wetness on his face.

It seemed as if there really was a vast ocean inside the basalt furnace.

With the sound of the tide, black energy drilled out of the furnace. It floated out like flowing water, gathered on the furnace cover, and condensed into a spirit body in the shape of a black tortoise.

It is only the size of a palm, dark all over, with a moist luster on its shell, and its eyes are bright and lifelike, as if it were a living creature.

"It's it!" Kong Ju murmured.

This black turtle had appeared when he had refined the divine Shenglun Pill.

It helped Shenglun Dan to block the pill disaster.

Its shape was still very vague at that time, and it became more solid only after it swallowed the pill tribulation.

But none of them are as realistic as the one in front of us.

Even if it suddenly jumped off the basalt furnace, Kong Ju would not be surprised.

He was amazed and said: "Tsk tsk, this turtle is alive."

Kong Ju was originally talking to himself.

However, as the word "turtle" came out, the black turtle's dark eyes suddenly turned and fixed on Kong Ju's face.

The strange scene immediately made Kong Qi’s body stiffen.

But seeing that it didn't make the next move, Kong Ju relaxed again and said self-deprecatingly: "After leaving Kuruo Temple, my courage has become smaller and smaller. I was scared by an object..."

He hadn't said a word yet.

A violent voice suddenly exploded in his mind.

"Where did you come from, you bastard? You called your grandpa a turtle!"

The sound exploded in Kong Ju's mind like a heavy hammer, shocking him so much that he pointed at the black tortoise in front of him and blurted out, "This thing can talk!"

"If you point at your turtle grandpa again!" The black turtle suddenly became furious. The palm-sized black turtle's eyes were as big as copper bells, and it looked like it was going to jump off the stove cover.

However, there was a force in the Xuanwu furnace that bound it, causing it to move its limbs many times but to no avail. After struggling for a long time, it could only lie on the furnace cover and stare at Kong Jue.

Kong Qi also looked strange when he saw that it couldn't escape.

But he didn't say anything else, for fear of angering the black turtle again.

There was a brief silence.

The black tortoise was still trying to maintain his dignity. He stared at Kong Ju and said in a bad tone, "Apologize to your grandpa turtle!"

Kong Ju's mind had not yet recovered from the surprise. After hearing what Xuangui said, he began to speak without thinking: "I am so outspoken and offended you, senior. Please don't argue with me."

As for apologizing, Kong Ju was the best at this kind of thing. He didn't even have to think about it and it came out easy.

Black Turtle's expression then looked a little better. He nodded, looking very pleased.

"You are smart, or Grandpa Turtle would have sent you to the Endless Sea if he sneezed."

Kong Ju was delighted when he heard this.

He thought that the black turtle that came out of the Xuanwu furnace could be some kind of master.

Looking at its appearance, it was almost eaten to death by the basalt furnace and it was even sneezing.

Of course, he couldn't say anything careless, as Kong Ju was afraid of angering the moody black turtle in front of him.

"This old turtle has a bad temper."
