"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Hu Yumeng turned around and walked towards the busier direction of the market without waiting for their reply.
Ming Fanxing retracted his gaze, "Senior Brother Zhang, do you have a grudge against him?"
Taoist Zhang curled his lips, "I guess so, it was just a verbal conflict, forget it... it's useless to talk about it now."
"Hey, let's not talk about it! Come with me, I'll go to the Alchemist Association headquarters first to get your identity settled, and then help you apply for an out-of-town guard. Yang Jiu must have already made arrangements..." "
Now that that person... is not here, the atmosphere in the Alchemist Association is still relaxed, it's the best opportunity."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Okay."
After leaving the market, he walked forward for a long time, and a wetland appeared in front of him.
There were some cranes playing on it. After the two stood there for a while, two cranes flew over and landed beside them.
"Come on, let's take the crane to the headquarters."
Ming Fanxing blinked and took a look at the crane. It was several times larger than an ordinary crane, so it was still very comfortable for one person to sit on it.
After all, this crane should also be considered a kind of monster, right? Looking at the crane from a distance, it is actually quite fierce when you look at it closely, whether it is the sharp beak or claws.
"Okay."
He sat on the crane, and the crane flapped its wings a few times, took two runs forward, and flew up. This speed is definitely not as fast as his own flying boat, but it is still interesting.
The fairy crane flew higher and higher, and the beautiful wetland scenery below was in full view. Not long after, the fairy crane led him through the mist and came above the clouds.
Ming Fanxing could feel that while flying forward, the fairy crane was actually leading him through many restrictions.
But these restrictions did not stop the two of them.
"The restrictions here are arranged quite well."
Ming Fanxing blinked. He was now almost accustomed to the occasional remarks of his master. "If I can get the master's approval, then this place is indeed good."
Shuang Baiyu, "Only relatively speaking."
Ming Fanxing raised his eyebrows, "Compared to other places?"
Shuang Baiyu, "Just a casual remark, don't think too much."
Ming Fanxing stopped talking and sat there quietly.
The fairy crane flew for more than an hour before it took him through the white mist again. It was at this time that Ming Fanxing saw the situation on the ground.
Is this the headquarters of the Alchemist Association?
After passing through the last layer of the formation, Ming Fanxing could smell the strong fragrance of elixirs floating in the air.
He carefully distinguished them and found that there were fragrances from first-level elixirs to second-level elixirs, and of course there were some fragrances that he had never smelled before.
According to the richness of the fragrance, he had reason to believe that this was the fragrance of third-level elixirs.
Third-level elixirs.
So far, only a very small number of golden elixir cultivators or Yuanying ancestors in the Alchemist Association can refine elixirs.
Such a strong fragrance of elixir, I think it can only be felt at the headquarters of the Alchemist Association.
The fairy crane landed on a white square.
Ming Fanxing landed on the ground at the call of Zhang Laodao. The fairy crane consciously flew to the side of the pond surrounded by a thin layer of mist and took a walk.
Zhang Laodao called him to go forward, "Come, follow me."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Okay, senior brother."
This spacious square is actually white. He lowered his head to observe. These stones... After identification, he found that they were actually a kind of stone called Yingyu Stone.
This is a very common refining material. If you say it is precious, it is used to refine low-grade spiritual treasures. Middle-grade spiritual treasures don't use this.
But if you say it's cheap, it's also very generous to use it to pave the square. The key is that it looks good, right?
Even the stones are made of refining materials, not to mention the buildings in the distance. They look ordinary, but whether it is wood or other decorations, they are all top-notch.
Ming Fanxing walked and appraised all the way, which really broadened his horizons, but these things were definitely not in the eyes of Shuang Baiyu. It is estimated that in the eyes of the master, they are still very shabby.
"This is the law enforcement hall of the Alchemist Association headquarters."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "The law enforcement hall of the Alchemist Association?"
He remembered that in the jade slip given to him by Zhang Laodao, there was a simple explanation that the Alchemist Association also had Jindan elders who were responsible for fighting or enforcing the law.
This is not surprising.
Zhang Laodao said, "Yes, all the monks who join the Alchemist Association must light a soul lamp here so that the Alchemist Association can confirm the life or death of the member. If they are missing, they must also confirm whether they are dead or alive, and..."
He paused and continued, "If they are confirmed dead, the people in the Law Enforcement Hall will have a secret method to lock the location and time of death."
"This is to confirm the identity of the person who killed my disciples of the Alchemist Association."
Ming Fanxing thought, secret method?
"How to lock it?"
Before Zhang Laodao said anything, a voice came from inside, "Of course it is a secret that is not passed on. Please come in, both of you."
Ming Fanxing knew it. Since it was a secret method, Zhang Laodao must not know it.
He didn't need to ask again. They wouldn't tell him even if he asked. It was estimated that only people in the Law Enforcement Hall were qualified to learn it. As an alchemist, he should just refine the pills obediently.
The person who came out of the door was a middle-aged cultivator of about 30 years old. After identification, he was found to be 120 years old and was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. With
this strength, he could even be called a half-step golden elixir. He was able to enter the Law Enforcement Hall, so his strength was unquestionable. He just didn't know how he compared to himself.
He felt the spiritual energy of this person and found that he was much stronger than him, with rich spiritual energy. He estimated that he was not his opponent at present.
Zhang Lao said, "Fanxing, let's go in first."
Ming Fanxing came to her senses and followed them inside. The person in front of her was one of the members of the Law Enforcement Hall, and it was obvious at a glance that this person was not an alchemist.
The Alchemist Association not only trains alchemists, but also some powerful law enforcement monks to protect the alchemists of the Alchemist Association, especially the headquarters.
In fact, alchemists themselves are also a very precious resource.
Zhang Laodao said, "This Ming Fanxing, Junior Brother Ming, I brought him back from Shenwu Island. He has just been in the foundation-building period for a few years, and now he is a second-level third-grade alchemist. He is extremely talented!"
The senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall nodded slowly, looking at Ming Fanxing with some surprise in his eyes. Seeing the jade pendant on his waist, he knew that he was a second-level third-grade alchemist.
I didn't think much about it just now, but I didn't expect that this person had just built his foundation not long ago.
If that's the case, then he is indeed very talented in alchemy. His expression also eased a lot. "Come with me."
Zhang Laodao waved his hand to Ming Fanxing, motioning him to follow, while he waited outside.
Ming Fanxing nodded and followed him all the way to the innermost part. There were many courtyards here, and the doors of each house were closed. There were formations and prohibitions blocking them, so his consciousness couldn't get in at all.
He followed people inside. The further he went inside, the more luxurious the building looked. From this point of view, the ordinary houses on the outermost side should be filled with the soul lamps of the first-level third-grade alchemists.
He was a second-level third-grade, so he could put the soul lamp inside.
"It's right here, follow me in."
After he cast a few spells, the formation and restrictions of the room were temporarily unlocked.
Ming Fanxing followed him into the room and found that there were more than a hundred soul lamps in the room, and about two hundred were lit.
The soul lamp itself looked green and transparent, and a very bright bright yellow flame was burning on the lamp. This was the soul lamp.
He walked to the side and took out a soul lamp, but there was no flame on it. He brought the soul lamp in front of Ming Fanxing, "Use your consciousness to light the soul lamp."
Ming Fanxing did not light it immediately, but called out "Master" in his mind.
Shuang Baiyu, "It's okay."
Ming Fanxing then felt relieved to extend his consciousness and light the soul lamp, and a bright yellow flame symbolizing life was also lit on it.
At this point, the senior brother placed the soul lamp in the last position over there.
"Special soul lamps of second-level and third-grade alchemists are all placed in this room."
Ming Fanxing, "Special?"
"Can stably refine the foundation-building pill."
Ming Fanxing understood, it seems that the foundation-building pill is indeed a watershed, and the second-level and third-grade alchemists who have the ability to refine the third-grade foundation-building pill have a better status.
After saying this, he took Ming Fanxing away from this place.
"You can rest assured from now on. In the entire Han Gu Continent, no one will be willing to take the risk of being hunted down by the Alchemist Association's Enforcement Hall to attack alchemists."
"You must know that all sects have their own alchemy practitioners. In order to prevent their own alchemy practitioners from being assassinated, they will also take action even if the alchemy practitioners of other sects are assassinated."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Then I feel relieved."
"If you go out in the future, remember to bring the jade pendant with you. Don't forget it."
Ming Fanxing, "Thank you, senior brother, I've remembered it."
He didn't stay in the Enforcement Hall for long. After being sent out, he followed Zhang Laodao and left.
After walking a distance, Zhang Laodao asked him, "Fanxing, are you going to apply for an assignment to Hongye City now or find a place to rest first?"
Ming Fanxing took a deep breath. He had just visited the headquarters of the Alchemist Association. Although it looked okay, he was very sensitive to the strange atmosphere here.
"Go apply first."
Although he wanted to see the entire Alchemist Association, he didn't feel very good about this place at this time.
"How long will it take to get the result after applying?"
Zhang Laodao, "Shangguan has called, it is estimated that it won't take long. Since you are so anxious, go apply first."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Let's go."
This headquarters is actually very good.
Ming Fanxing walked on this side of the square and could feel that there was enough spiritual power here. It would definitely be better to refine the elixir here.
But he also understood that it would never be his turn to be in the place with the best spiritual power.
Those were all places where the Yuan Ying ancestors practiced. As for the other spiritual veins, they were definitely owned by the Jindan Dan practitioners.
How could a Foundation Establishment Dan practitioner like me get better resources for practice?
And staying at the headquarters was not very free after all. All the people coming and going were disciples of the Dan Master Association. It was extremely monotonous. He still liked a place with more freedom.
