The second day.
Chen time.
Qin Gengyun walked into Lingdanfang with brisk steps.
I ran into Wang Ping and Xu Li, who were cleaning the yard, looking very diligent.
Seeing Qin Gengyun, the two of them winked at the door of the alchemy room. Qin Gengyun looked over and saw Yang Fengshan standing at the door of the alchemy room. When he saw Qin Gengyun, he immediately scolded him:
"Why are you here so late? I wonder if the master is going to make an elixir today?"
Qin Gengyun cupped his hands and said, "Manager Yang, it's just morning now, I'm not late."
Yang Fengshan snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Qin Gengyun, and said to the people in the yard:
"The master and I need to concentrate on refining the elixir today. You guys stay outside and do your work properly. Don't make any noise!"
Everyone agreed, and Yang Fengshan then turned and entered the alchemy room and closed the door.
Wang Ping spat in a low voice and said disdainfully:
"A dog takes advantage of the power of his master!"
Xu Li sighed, "I heard that a courtesan from Zhenyang City came to Yihonglou yesterday. She was extremely beautiful and charming, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes. Sigh!"
Wang Ping said depressedly: "I can only hope that after the master refines the elixir, he can go out for a few more days."
Qin Gengyun chatted with the two of them for a while, and when he saw Old Man Fang coming out from the backyard, he stepped forward and asked:
"Friend Fang, didn't the abbot call you in today?"
Fang Chao shook his head: "The abbot thinks I'm not quick enough."
Qin Gengyun said: "Well, your body will be damaged if you stay in there for a long time. By the way..."
He asked in a low voice: "Fang Daoist, it is said that after practicing Qi to the third level, the consciousness can leave the body. Have you ever heard of a situation where the consciousness can leave the body two meters away and can clearly recognize people and hear their words?"
Although Fang Chao's cultivation was not high, he was older and had seen a lot of the world. When he heard Qin Gengyun's words, he shook his head and laughed:
"The third level of Qi training can only extend the consciousness out of the body for a maximum of five feet. If it exceeds five feet, one will not be able to hear what others say, let alone recognize people clearly. Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't know this simple truth?"
Qin Gengyun said: "I have aspirations in my heart, so I just ask casually."
After saying that, he took the broom and swept towards the alchemy room.
That day, he used his spiritual sense to probe into the alchemy room. The distance was at least two meters, but he could still clearly see Fang Chao, Yang Fengshan, and the master of the alchemy room, and could hear the conversation between Yang Fengshan and the master of the alchemy room.
I didn’t think much about it at the time, but when I thought about it carefully today, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I just asked Old Man Fang just to verify.
My spiritual awareness seems to be much better than that of an ordinary third-level Qi training cultivator.
But it seems to be limited to peeping and eavesdropping?
Qin Gengyun quickly swept to the side of the alchemy room. While waving the broom, he probed his spiritual sense into the alchemy room.
He walked forward cautiously and soon saw Yang Fengshan and Pei Daoyu sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace.
At this moment, the master of the temple had not started to refine the elixir yet. Judging from his appearance, he did not seem to be aware of Qin Gengyun's spiritual consciousness.
So, in addition to its amazing length, my spiritual consciousness also has the ability to conceal itself?
This one is really long and thin!
"Master, you were not in the workshop a few days ago, and that old man Fang was absent from work for a few days. I wonder if I should deduct his wages?"
At this time, Qin Gengyun saw Yang Fengshan speaking to Pei Daoyu with a look of indignation on his face.
Pei Daoyu was resting with his eyes closed and hummed casually.
"Master, how about deducting a spiritual stone from him?"
Yang Fengshan's face showed joy and he spoke quickly.
The abbot nodded slightly, Yang Fengshan rolled his eyes and whispered:
"Master, these past few days I noticed that Qin Gengyun always went to that abandoned alchemy room, acting sneakily, as if he had some plans."
Pei Daoyu closed his eyes and said nothing. Yang Fengshan continued:
"Master, you don't know that if you secretly sell the old bronze furnace in the abandoned alchemy room at the night market, it would fetch at least 20 spirit stones. I think Qin Gengyun has set his sights on our bronze furnace!"
The abbot finally opened his eyes and said calmly, "If there really is a thief in the house, you can deal with him."
"yes!"
Yang Fengshan agreed immediately.
Qin Gengyun's heart trembled.
It was obvious that Yang Fengshan wanted to sell the alchemy furnace secretly, but the blame was put on him.
In this way, if Yang Fengshan really secretly took the alchemy furnace to the night market to sell it in the future, the owner of the shop would only hold Qin Gengyun responsible.
This person is too vicious!
At this time, the abbot began to refine the elixir. Qin Gengyun focused his mind, continued to control his spiritual consciousness, observed the abbot's movements, and absorbed his experience.
I benefited a lot from observing for one day.
The time soon came to the You hour.
While everyone was still hesitating whether to leave, the master and Yang Fengshan came out of the alchemy room. The master had finally refined another Ice Heart Pill today.
Everyone congratulated him, and the serious Pei Daoyu also smiled and left.
After the abbot left, the others couldn't wait to go home.
Qin Gengyun still had the two bags of Qingfeng Powder in his arms and was planning to go to Danfu Building to check out the market. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he heard the conversation between Yang Fengshan and Fang Chao behind him.
"Old Fang, the master said that you have been absent from work for several days and have behaved badly. I will deduct two spirit stones from you as a warning to others!"
"Manager Yang, didn't we agree to take one spiritual stone? How come it became two?"
"Old Fang, the abbey owner wanted to kick you out, but I begged for mercy on your behalf, and he reluctantly agreed to let you stay. Don't be ungrateful!"
“This, this…”
Qin Gengyun shook his head and left quietly.
Yang Fengshan was in charge of distributing the rewards in the workshop. He told the workshop owner that he would deduct one spirit stone from Fang Chao, but he actually deducted two, one of which naturally went into his own pocket.
I didn't expect Yang Fengshan to be so bold as to embezzle the spirit stones in the workshop.
However, Qin Gengyun had no intention of complaining to the abbot.
In his previous life, when Qin Gengyun worked at a chemical factory, his team leader would often steal things from the factory and sell them.
Someone reported him to the higher authorities.
As a result, after a few days, the team leader was fine, but the person who reported him was fired.
Since then, Qin Gengyun understood a truth:
There is no justice for the weak.
Arriving at Caifeng Street, I saw a large signboard flashing a faint purple light from afar.
Danfu Building.
Danfulou is a chain store that specializes in selling materials for alchemists and talisman masters.
Spread throughout the entire Dongxiu area.
The one in Yunling Town is considered to be relatively small.
But it is quite impressive in a small town.
Qin Gengyun walked into the Danfu Building. The spacious hall was bustling with people. In the middle of the three-story ceiling hung a huge glazed crystal lamp. The inside was filled with long-light talismans used for lighting, and the light was dazzling.
It was Qin Gengyun's first time to come to such a high-end place, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
He pinched the two bags of Qingling grass in his sleeves, walked to the counter, and said to a middle-aged male cultivator with a wisp of mustache:
"Shopkeeper, I have two bags of Qingling Powder that I want to sell. Will you take them?"
In addition to selling medicinal materials for alchemy and talisman paper, Danlou also collects elixirs and talisman paper.
The shopkeeper with a mustache glanced at him and smiled:
"My fellow Taoist, I'm sorry, we don't just accept low-grade pills."
