"I still want to enter Cathaya City's Spirit Herb Division!"
Chu Yao bit her red lips, and her gaze was very firm. "If I don't go to the Spiritual Medicine Division, then the Hundred Spirits Medicine Store's business will still be steady. Moreover, Grandpa has already gone to the Imperial Capital's Spiritual Medicine Division. I don't want to disappoint Grandpa."
"Alright then, I will protect you."
"Yes."
…
The next morning, they arrived at the Spirit Medicine Department. The person in charge of receiving them was a man in his fifties. He was dressed in a black robe, and he held a bottle of medicine in his hand. With a smile, he said, "Lin Muyu, Chu Yao, you're finally here! My name is Lu Bin, and I'm responsible for leading you into the Spiritual Medicine Department. "
Lin Muyu's name had spread far and wide in Silver Fir City. She and Chu Yao had both received an invitation from the Spirit Medicine Division. This was a rare honor for the younger generation of alchemists.
Lu Bin glanced at Chu Yao as he led the way. "It's been many years since such a young alchemist has entered the Spirit Medicine Division. What a rare sight. The Spirit Medicine Division's workshops are divided into the Herb Gathering Workshop, the Herb Selection Workshop, and the Medicine Refinery Workshop. You two have been assigned to work in the Medicine Refinery Workshop. You'll be in charge of refining and smelting medicine. Your workload isn't too great. You only need to refine forty bottles of medicine above level three every day."
Chu Yao nodded and smiled. "Got it. Thank you, Uncle Lu!"
"There's no need to thank me. I'll show you the rooms and the workshop."
"Alright!"
…
Entering the alchemy workshop, there were already more than thirty alchemists working there. From the Grandmaster alchemist to the Master alchemist, their main products were Gold Sore Medicine, Healing Medicine, Stone Skin Medicine, and other medicines used in battle. When Lin Muyu and Chu Yao, the two young juniors, entered the workshop, they caused a wave of hissing sounds. These alchemists focused on alchemy and did not pay attention to what was happening outside. They did not even know who Lin Muyu was.
"Lin Muyu!"
An alchemist pointed at the workbench on the side and said, "You're an alchemist, right? I have some Earth Dragon Grass and Blood Ginseng here. Can you help me refine them? I want to refine some Level 4 Healing Potions. "
Lin Muyu smiled gently. "There's no need for that. I want to finish today's work after I refine 40 bottles of Stoneskin Potion."
"What? Stone Skin Elixir? "Apothecary frowned." You have the ability to refine the Black Iron Wood's medicinal essence? "
Lin Muyu didn't say anything else. She just walked over and picked up a Black Iron Tree that was about a meter tall. Then, she opened her hand, and pure True Qi surged. The Essence Condensing Hand quickly peeled off the outer shell of the Black Iron Tree. Not long after, tiny grains of the Black Iron Tree's medicinal essence slowly rose up, and fell into the medicine tray under his guidance.
The entire process didn't even take ten minutes. Lin Muyu herself was slightly surprised. Presumably, it was because of the increase in her cultivation that the efficiency of the Essence Condensing Hand had also greatly increased. Meanwhile, the surrounding group of alchemists were all stunned. No one could have imagined that such a young boy could actually refine the Black Iron Tree's medicinal essence.
Not long after, 40 bottles of Stone Skin Potion were freshly made.
"Elder Lu!" The previous apothecary pointed at Lin Muyu with a face full of indignation. "This boy named Lin Muyu spent less than an hour to refine 40 bottles of Stone Skin Potion. He's obviously cutting corners. I suspect that his potion isn't even grade seven. This will ruin the reputation of our Spirit Medicine Department. These low-grade potions are simply harmful to the military!"
Lu Bin had always known that the alchemists in the medicine refinery were always fighting openly and covertly. At the same time, he also knew of Lin Muyu's abilities. He raised his eyebrows. "Is that so? Apothecary Wang, go and test the grade of these Stone Skin Potions. What do you think? "
"Yes!"
Apothecary Wang probed a bottle of Stone Skin Potion with his identification stick. In the next moment, his jaw dropped. "How … how can this be a grade one medicine?"
Lu Bin snorted coldly. "As the saying goes, the younger generation will surpass the older. Apothecary Wang, you should learn more from Lin Muyu."
"Yes … yes, Elder Lu …"
…
After Lin Muyu finished her work, she went to Chu Yao's workbench. She saw Chu Yao working hard at refining level-four healing potions. It was obvious that Chu Yao had also benefited a lot from the God of Medicine's Bible. She was much more adept at refining the potions. The formula was also very scientific. In about an hour, she had refined 47 bottles of healing potions. After the appraiser's verification, they were all between grade six and grade three. This slightly surprised Lin Muyu.
It seemed that she had underestimated Sister Chu Yao!
The two's residence was very close to the mayor's palace. Ten minutes later, they stopped in front of a house.
"We're here," Lu Bin said.
Chu Yao was stunned. She stuck out her tongue and asked with a smile, "Did we come to the wrong place? We're just small alchemists. This … this is the residence of the mayor's palace, right?"
Lu Bin smiled faintly. "City Lord Huatian is not only the mayor, but also the Grand Elder of Silver Fir City's Spirit Medicine Department. Lin Muyu is widely recognized as a rare talent in the alchemy world. That's why I've arranged such a special residence for you. Please don't be shy. Otherwise, you'll disappoint the mayor."
Chu Yao wanted to say more, but Lin Muyu knew that it was useless to say more. She said, "Sister Chu Yao, since you're already here, let's take things as they come. It's not a bad place to live."
"Then, then …"
…
When night fell, the servants delivered a sumptuous meal.
After eating, Chu Yao went back to her room to practice the art of silver needles. Her room was separated from Lin Muyu's by the courtyard. It was not far, but not close either.
Lin Muyu, on the other hand, stood in the courtyard and circulated her True Qi again and again to use Thunder Strike and Demon Sound Fist. At the same time, she continued to cultivate and strengthen her gourd. When the night grew darker, she took out four flying knives and practiced hidden weapons! He knew that he wasn't strong enough. When facing a stronger opponent, he had to use extreme methods, and hidden weapons were one of them.
Undercurrents were surging in the city lord's palace. Who knew how many more dangers were waiting for him?
"Swoosh!"
The flying knife suddenly flew out, making a fierce sound in the air. Then, sparks flew everywhere. It hit the rock of the artificial mountain and went deep, but it didn't fly back.
Lin Muyu frowned. The flying knife's biggest weakness wasn't its trajectory, but once it hit the target, it might not come back after the impact. What method could she use to freely control the flying knife?
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly had an idea. The flying knife's trajectory depended on the force and air fluctuations. Wasn't her Demon Sound Fist a method that could change the flow of air? Perhaps, the Demon Sound Fist could be combined with hidden weapons.
Thinking of this, she immediately began to practice.
The first flying knife flew out, and the wind from the fist trembled. The power of the Demon Sound Fist burst out in the air, but it didn't seem to have an obvious effect. The flying knife was struck down because the angle and strength were not enough.
After repeated attempts and hundreds of Demon Sonorous Fist strikes, a "peng" sound rang out in the air, and the flying dagger's trajectory changed. It flew in the opposite direction at the same speed and pierced into the stone wall. This small success made Lin Muyu extremely happy. The feasibility of using Demon Sonorous Fist with hidden weapons and flying daggers had been proven.
Standing proudly in the cold courtyard, Lin Muyu's figure looked even more handsome. He closed his eyes, and his whole body entered a state of clarity. He sensed the flying knife's trajectory and only relied on his ears to determine the position. Suddenly, he punched out. The Demon Sound Fist vibrated, and the flying knife changed direction and flew faster. Then, he punched out again, and the flying knife's trajectory was changed again. He seemed to have figured out the relationship between the flying knife's trajectory and the Demon Sound Fist's force, angle, and timing.
…
Just as he was immersed in cultivation, he suddenly heard a soft clapping in the distance. A woman's voice came from the courtyard door: "Good martial arts. As expected of the person who defeated the young city lord in three moves!"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and saw a woman dressed in red standing there. Her clothes were very simple, as thin as muslin, accentuating her exquisite and curvaceous figure. Furthermore, as she leaned lightly against the door, she looked even more enchanting and enchanting.
"You are?"
"My name is Xiang Xiang!"
She walked forward with a smile, her steps were as nimble as a cat's. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Lin Muyu as she smiled and said, "I am the maidservant of the Castellan Manor. I was ordered by the Young Castellan to serve you."
Lin Muyu frowned and felt a bit of disgust: "Go back and tell Hua Wan that I don't need her."
"Is that so?"
Xiang Xiang's pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be able to read people's minds. She said: "The night is long and it is hard to sleep alone. Does Young Master really not need a woman to sleep beside your pillow? Oh, it must be that woman called Chu Yao, right? Unfortunately, she is Young Master's Senior Sister. She probably can't serve beside your bed right? "
As she said this, Xiang Xiang walked to the door and pushed it open. She said: "No matter what happens to Young Master, I must sleep on your bed tonight."
She looked back and her face was slightly dark: "Otherwise, I can't imagine the consequences."
What did this mean?
Lin Muyu was stunned. Was this the legendary 'forcing yourself on the bow'? Wasn't this … the opposite? At least she should be the one taking the initiative right?
But in fact, this Xiang Xiang, whether it was her figure or her looks, were top notch. Young City Master Hua Wan was indeed an expert in choosing women, this point must be admitted.
Xiang Xiang leaned on the door and smiled sweetly: "Young Master, what is the name of your flying dagger?"
"It doesn't have a name, it's just a hidden weapon."
"Oh, then what is the name of your skill that can explode through the air?"
"Demon Sound Fist."
"Hee hee." Xiang Xiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Although I don't know much about martial arts, I can see that you are using the Demon Sound Fist to change the trajectory of the flying dagger. This way, you can kill people without leaving a trace, right?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu smiled: "Xiang Xiang, you were sent by Hua Wan to spy on me right? Even if you understand my martial arts, it's useless. I can still easily defeat Hua Wan. "
Xiang Xiang lightly raised one of her slender snow white legs and stroked her knee as she said with a smile, "Young Master is thinking too much. Xiang Xiang is only here to serve Young Master in bed. As for cultivating, I'm not interested.
She lightly nodded and said: "If I practiced martial arts, I wouldn't be in this situation. Young Master, don't you think so?"
Of course, Lin Muyu didn't believe her words. He coldly snorted and continued to practice the flying dagger and Demon Sound Fist.
Xiang Xiang watched for a while and suddenly yawned. She smiled: "Young Master, it's late. Xiang Xiang is going to bed. This servant will wait for you on the bed. I won't wear any clothes. If you're tired, come rest. I'll take good care of you!"
Lin Muyu didn't respond. Xiang Xiang was indeed a beauty, but this was the best way to train his mind.
Xiang Xiang cutely yawned again and waved her hand: "Young Master, this servant is going to sleep. Remember to wake me up when you arrive. Also, since your flying dagger doesn't have a name, why don't I give it a name? The flying dagger controlled by the Demon Sound Fist should be called Demon Sound Blade!"
Demon Sound Blade?
Lin Muyu was slightly startled. What a good name!
… …
When he looked again, Xiang Xiang had already gracefully walked to the bed.
