Thunderous purple gold furnace?

Zhao Rong's heart trembled, but his expression remained unchanged. He turned his head casually and looked at the Imperial Master's Office that was about to pass by on the street beside him. In his heart, he calmly asked, "Where is it?"

"The group of little Taoist children in front of the sedan chair."

At this time, the headquarters had already passed most of Zhao Rong. From Zhao Rong's perspective, his view was blocked by the luxurious sedan chair carried by more than 20 people, and he could not see the target clearly.

Zhao Rong frowned slightly and was about to follow, but suddenly he remembered Su Xiaoxiao beside him. He turned around and saw her looking at him strangely.

Su Xiaoxiao curiously glanced in the direction Zhao Rong had been staring at, "Zhao Rong, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Rong did not respond. He reached out and took out some change from his pocket, turned around and walked to a small stall nearby, bought a few candy figures, handed them to Su Xiaoxiao, and told her to wait for him there and not to run around.

Seeing the little fox demon happily taking it and nodding like a rattle, Zhao Rong turned around and hurriedly chased after the camp in front.

At this time, there were many people following the Imperial Master on the street, most of them were trying to grab the talisman water and talisman paper that could "communicate with spirits", so Zhao Rong, a Confucian scholar carrying a book box, was not too conspicuous among them.

Soon, Zhao Rong caught up with the camp and came to the front of its right side. He squeezed into the crowd and followed in unison. Through the crowded crowd in front of him, he looked at the group of Taoist children walking on the main road and asked, "Which Taoist child is it?"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Rong quickly reached out and snatched a piece of red talisman paper that was floating towards him. He turned his head left and right and smiled triumphantly at the people around him who had not snatched the talisman from him.

Gui said impatiently: "Hey, stop shaking your head, I am looking out from your Ajna Chakra."

Zhao Rong heard this, kept smiling, turned around and continued to stare at the group of Taoist children in black clothes and blue hats, who were lined up in five rows and seven columns, marching in unison, each holding ceremonial objects in their hands. Four of them were holding incense burners emitting fireworks.

After a while, Gui Yu said very quickly: "The second to last row, third from the left."

Zhao Rong's eyes narrowed.

He was a fat Taoist boy with a chubby face, holding an incense burner in his hand with great effort.

This hand-held incense burner has a simple and rustic shape. It is round in shape, black with purple in color, no more than one foot high and wide, and is in the shape of a tripod with two ears and a cover on the top. At this time, wisps of white smoke are coming out of the round hole in the cover.

There was nothing magical about it on the surface, and it was inconspicuous in the team. The other Taoist children had many ceremonial objects in their hands that were more splendid and beautiful than it.

Zhao Rong asked doubtfully, "This thing is called Thunder Purple Gold Furnace? Are you sure you got it right?"

Gui said confidently: "Although I can't see the inside, its material is Thunder Purple Gold! And the appearance is exactly the same. My divine sense tells me that this is it."

Zhao Rong was a little skeptical, "Is your intuition accurate?"

Why does it feel like it's the same thing as a woman's sixth sense? Is it reliable...

Gui was silent for a while, then took a closer look and said firmly, "It can't be wrong. I am too familiar with it, because I also had one in the past, and later it stayed in this world... I don't know if it is the one in front of me. Logically speaking, my Thunder Purple Gold Furnace should not appear in Wangque Continent, but the world has changed so much, who can say for sure..."

Gui's voice gradually became lower and turned into a whisper.

Zhao Rong took a deep breath. Is this the treasure that Gui once owned?

He couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, looking past the rows of heads in front of him to the fat Taoist boy who was panting from exhaustion, and then carefully examined the ordinary-looking hand incense burner.

But after just a few breaths, Zhao Rong leaned back slightly, put his heels back on the ground, shifted his gaze, and looked around expressionlessly, only to find that no one was paying attention to him. The crowd's eyes, like his, were focused on the team in the middle of the road.

Gui said excitedly, "I can't see clearly from a distance what the current situation of this Thunder Purple Gold Furnace is, but even if it is damaged, its material alone is one of the top metal refining materials. Thunder Purple Gold is a divine gold that even Taiyi cultivators would covet. How could it be casually held in the hands of a little Taoist boy with no cultivation, showing off outside? Zhao Rong, you must get it quickly!"

Then, it said with emotion, "I didn't expect that I had just woken up and glanced out from your brow chakra, and saw such a good thing. This ancient Cangzhou is indeed worthy of being the top blessed land of Taoism. I don't know how much hidden blessings there are."

After listening to Gui's words, Zhao Rong gradually calmed down. At this moment, facing the great opportunity that seemed to be just around the corner, he no longer had the anxiety that had just lingered in his heart. He said "oh" with a calm expression and continued to follow the team.

However, at this time, because they were near the south city gate and the imperial teacher's camp was about to leave the city, there were fewer and fewer people watching and following them. Zhao Rong frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Gui suddenly realized, "Oh, right, do you still remember the sword technique that I taught you on the boat?"

Zhao Rong nodded subconsciously, then realized that it couldn't see, so he responded, "Remember."

Gui said in a cheerful tone, "I have told you before that this nameless sword technique and the Spring and Autumn Life and Death Decision were obtained by me from that outer sect with strange cultivation methods."

"The magic weapon refining is divided into small refining, big refining, and life refining, and this sword technique is only equivalent to a small refining method. The reason why I can remember it is not only because it can be used to refine other magic weapons besides swords, but also because it is refined through the soul power of the soul, and does not require the user to have spiritual energy. Even mortals can use it, but it will be extremely mentally exhausting."

"And the most amazing thing is that it allows the user to practice within a certain range without touching the object, but the prerequisite is that the user is very familiar with the object, just like when you practiced your sword on the boat."

"The situation is just right now. I will now send you the image of the Thunder Purple Gold Furnace. Try to visualize it in your mind and see if you can communicate with it!"

Gui spoke very quickly and incessantly. After he finished speaking, he dug up the memory of the Tingni Purple Gold Furnace in his mind, formed an image and transmitted it to Zhao Rong's heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong began to concentrate his mind, and with the help of Gui's image, he began to materialize the Thundering Purple Gold Furnace in the lake of his heart.

It contained a lot of information, and was more complicated than the original sword. Zhao Rong only realized at this time that there was an extremely important furnace core inside the Thunder Purple Gold Furnace, and the pattern restrictions on the furnace wall were even more numerous...

However, after this period of physical training, my soul has become stronger. Although it is difficult now, it is not a big problem.

At a certain moment, when a huge convoy was about to pass through the south gate of Luojing, among the sparse crowd following behind and gradually dispersing, a young scholar carrying a book box on his back and wearing a jade sword on his hip suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked away.

"how?"

The scholar thought about the special connection that had just been established in the dark, and was now broken because the two were too far apart, and curled his lips, "Yes, that's it, the Thunder Purple Gold Furnace."

"And...seems to be intact."

"Why don't you chase me?"

"Don't worry, it can't run away." The scholar said lazily.

…

Zhao Rong returned all the way and found Su Xiaoxiao who was still waiting anxiously at the same place. The little girl was indeed very obedient and did not ask Zhao Rong where he had been, so Zhao Rong did not give the explanation he had prepared.

Afterwards, Zhao Rong took her for a stroll in the city, bought some snacks, and then left the city from the north gate and returned to the Lin family's manor in Lanxi. The two separated and returned to their own courtyards.

Since Lin Wenruo was not around, Zhao Rong had lunch and went out again, but he did not bring the book box with him, only some extra silver.

Zhao Rong returned to the city and found a ready-made clothing store, where he bought several sets of clothes of suitable size. Although they were not as comfortable as those tailor-made at a tailor shop, they were better as he could buy and wear them right away.

Zhao Rong bought some more things and found an inconspicuous inn near the south of the city. He booked a room and sent the waiter away. Then he changed into new clothes in the room and looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a black suit, a green headband, and a bun with a hairpin. He looked like a man from a wealthy family in Luojing City. He nodded with satisfaction and went out.

Zhao Rong hired a carriage at the South Gate and headed south. At 15:00 in the afternoon, he arrived at Taibai Mountain.

Mount Taibai is extremely high, with lush forests and tranquil scenery. On the top of the mountain is the Chongxu Temple, which is well-known to everyone in Zhongnan Country and is also the main point of the 480 temples in Mount Zhongnan.

Zhao Rong got off the car and found that there were many pilgrims at the foot of the mountain at this moment. After a little inquiry, he learned the general situation of Chongxu Temple.

The Chongxu Temple on Mount Taibai is divided into the outer view and the inner view. The outer view is on the mountainside and is the main part of the temple. It has the most palaces and statues, and is also the place where pilgrims from the foot of the mountain go to burn incense and worship. The inner view is built on the top of the mountain and outsiders are not allowed to go up there at will.

Inside the Chongxu Temple, there are core Taoist priests and ordinary Taoist priests. The former are mainly in the inner temple, but they can also be found in some main halls outside the temple. They mainly take the lead in chanting scriptures and interpreting divinations for guests. The latter are all in the outer temple, responsible for taking care of daily affairs and receiving pilgrims.

The core Taoists live in the inner temple; the ordinary Taoists are more numerous and live in houses at the foot of the mountain. In addition, there are many miscellaneous servants in the temple, who also live at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, there are many buildings at the foot of the mountain. During the day, there are many pilgrims, and it is as lively as a county town.

Zhao Rong straightened his clothes and went up the stairs with the other pilgrims, keeping a subtle eye on his surroundings.

The scenery of Mount Taibai is extremely quiet, with lush trees on the mountain, towering ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road, thick shade covering the ground, gushing springs like snow, and fresh air and clear wind.

When he arrived at the majestic exterior of the mountainside and just stepped over a threshold, he felt a sense of connection in his heart, as if he had established a mysterious connection with something. The feeling came from a building on the left.

Zhao Rong had an indifferent expression and ignored the vague connection. Instead, he walked to a merit box, put some silver in it, and smiled at the Taoist priest standing nearby. The latter saluted him solemnly and called out "Blessings to the Heavenly Venerable". Zhao Rong also returned the salute respectfully, called out "Master Taoist", asked about some rules of the temple, and then started to wander around casually.

Slowly, Zhao Rong walked to the left side of the temple, where several palaces stood. Looking from the outside, there were tall statues of gods and many pilgrims.

All of Zhao Rong's attention was drawn to an inconspicuous hall, and the vague feeling in his mind pointed to that place.

Zhao Rong pursed his lips, still walking calmly. Occasionally he would follow the pilgrims around him into a hall to burn incense and pray, occasionally he would stop around a blue-robed Taoist priest and listen to his lectures with others, and occasionally he would walk to a wall to admire the lifelike murals.

Finally, he slowly crossed to the hall where he felt a sense of connection.

Looking up, I saw a plaque with the words "Lingguan Temple" written on it.

As he stepped in, what caught his eye was a statue that Zhao Rong did not recognize. With a quick glance, he saw seven Taoists in the hall. Some were chanting in front of the statue, some were talking to pilgrims in a low voice, some were standing in the corner watching everyone, and there were four Taoist children standing on both sides.

Zhao Rong took a quick look and didn't look at it any more.

Wash hands, light incense, bow, burn incense, clasp fists, and salute.

Then he offered some incense money, asked for a talisman from a middle-aged Taoist priest in the hall, thanked him, and left without further ado.

However, when Zhao Rong turned around, his eyes lightly swept across a small incense burner at the edge of the altar in front of the tall statue in the center of the hall. It was emitting a faint green smoke and was inconspicuous among the many tribute objects.

Zhao Rong glanced past without looking back, left the hall, walked out of the exterior, strode down the mountain, found a carriage, and slowly left.

Inside the car.

Zhao Rong closed his eyes and rested.

Gui asked gently, "Hey, Zhao Rong, the Tingni Purple Gold Furnace is right there, how do we steal it?"

Zhao Rong still had his eyes closed, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Steal? That's not good."

Gui suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, Master Zhao is a scholar, how could he do such a disgraceful and uncultured thing! It's my mean and dirty thoughts, Master Zhao, please don't listen to me. Alas, it's a pity for that divine furnace. You know, the divine medicine that can make someone reborn and change their fate can only be made with a furnace of this level. Alas, what a pity."

Zhao Rong opened his eyes and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted. Gui sneered and said jokingly, "I know you want to say, 'Can the affairs of scholars be considered stealing?' That's right and wrong. What is that called, stealing? Tsk!"

Gui sneered and hated these hypocritical Confucian scholars the most.

The young Confucian scholar was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said calmly: "Who said you have to steal secretly? Can't you take it openly in front of them?"
