Du Hong laughed, strode forward, and said loudly: "Bu Chen, the 'Master Zheng' you trusted deeply lost. According to the bet, you must sweep Master Yan for a year! People from the world are watching you!"

Bu Chen's eyes widened and said to Du Hong disdainfully: "Bu Chen has benefited a lot from Master Zheng these days and has absolutely trusted Master Zheng. He said one is one, and two is two. Since Bu Chen took on the bet, he will never regret it! But Bu lost it because Master Yan, not you, Du Hong. If you have any objections, our hero will solve it!"

Du Hong also glared at Bu Chen, his eyes swept back and forth on Bu Chen's usual upright figure, and finally landed on the knife on his waist. He thought to himself: Zheng Meng dared to challenge Jianchuan City, and he probably had two tricks. Bu Chen changed to a new knife, and he really had a hero's strike. This hero may have a capsized ship...

Thinking through the pros and cons, he immediately snorted coldly without losing the heroic demeanor and said, "Hmph! You and I have competed many times, who is afraid of whom? Du, please save your life and clean up Master Yan for a year!"

"No courage means no courage!" Bu Chen cursed angrily, turned to face Yan Li, and said respectfully, "Master Yan, Bu Chen is willing to accept the loss. The land deed of Lingjian Pavilion is here. When I go back to the gang to hand over some civil affairs, I will come to be a sweeping servant with Master Yan."

"Haha." Yan Li smiled and took the Lingjian Pavilion deed. "Young Master Bu is indeed generous and confident, but you don't have to work so hard. The young master only needs to clean the wind and fire inside and outside once before three minutes a day, which is to fulfill the bet."

The three-minute hour of Chen, converted to the earth time, is 7:30 in the morning. In another world, at this time, the warrior's morning exercises and breakfast have ended for a long time, which is very generous.

Bu Chen received the kindness and hurriedly said, "Master Yan has a lot! As long as Bu is not dead within this year, he will definitely not lose his trust. Shu Bu will say goodbye first!"

Zheng Meng left with the others of the Dongsha Gang, feeling like a broken dog.

Seeing that the wind and fire were invincible, Du Hong wanted to go forward and talk to Yan Li for a few words.

Yan Li ignored him directly and said in front of him: "Young master, I said that the gang will not be suitable for you. It would be better to leave the Hengjiang Gang early and inherit the family business."

After saying that, he went straight back to the backyard.

This sentence fell into Du Hong's ears, which made him speechless; and Zou Tong, who was watching from afar, was so angry that he jumped up - today they came to participate in this sword fight with various tentative purposes, but they failed to steal the chicken, which caused a handful of rice to be lost.

They wanted to test the Dongsha Gang, but they only knew that the Dongsha Gang reached out to Xiqin and had something to do with Jiuhuan Mountain. But they knew it without temptation.

They wanted to test the stability of their alliance with the Han family. Judging from Yan Li's performance, the Han family was far from as much as expected, and seemed to be able to replace it with the Dongsha Gang at any time - this was almost the worst result.

They wanted to test Yan Li's level. This really shows that - Gao, very high, sooner or later, he is a master. But... it seems that this time the test offended Master Yan!

They wanted to test the relationship with themselves after Fenghuozhan rose. This also had a result - Master Yan turned against him and asked Duan Yan to withdraw from the Hengjiang Gang, implying that he would draw a boundary with the Hengjiang Gang! There is no worse result than this!

As for their desire to take advantage of it, let Du Hong get a magic weapon produced by Master Yan, and go further - let alone this, I guess there will be no chance in my life.

The worst thing is that Master Huining joins Fenghuobao, which means that Fenghuobao successfully relies on the towering tree of Zhuchan Temple. In terms of its status in the world, it is already higher than the Hengjiang Gang. Now the relationship is broken, which is not a good sign!

Alas, last night, the Hengjiang Gang was still full of energy and planned to enter the Dajiang route and expand its family business dozens of times. In a blink of an eye, the Dongsha Gang reached into the Western Qin Dynasty, and its alliance with the Han family was in danger, and the connections forged by the wind and fire were even more close, as if a storm was about to come and the building was about to collapse...

All the Buddhas are above, what's going on?

Zou Tong, the innate master, felt dizzy and finally didn't understand how this trick changed. He could only use the easiest method to remedy: first give a generous gift and comfort Master Yan! It would be fine if you don't want to commit crimes on Zhuchan Temple!

——…—

Wind-fire forged backyard.

"Young Master Yan, you just said to withdraw from the gang... were you joking?" Duan Yan asked with his teeth grinning.

"Seriously." Yan Li replied while tasting tea.

"Ah...this..."

"Young leader, why did you join the Hengjiang Gang?"

"For the sake of being chivalrous and righteous, I'm happy!" Duan Yan answered quickly.

"Where is the chivalrous power of the Hengjiang Gang?"

"Brothers are all very loyal..." Duan Yan was also a little unconfident.

"Hahaha, the Jianghu Gangs say they are loyal." Yan Li smiled, "If we don't talk about it, just talk about today's sword fighting. If we don't have Master Huining's works to support the formation, it is likely that two warriors will fight the heroic race just like last time. If there is no Xihen and there is no entry in the past few days, you are Bu Chen's opponent?"

"Uh... no." Duan Yan said helplessly. He is in the early stage of skin tempering, while Bu Chen is at the peak of skin tempering. He has experienced many battles, so it's better not to mention the gap.

"If the Hengjiang Gang is really loyal, how can your Senior Brother Du Hong let you take the risk of fighting with Bu Chen?" Yan Li asked, "What's more, even if you lose the sword fight, it will only be a year to sweep the floor. What's this face compared to the life of your brother?"

"Uh..." Duan Yan was speechless.

Yan Li took another sip of tea and continued to say, "Hengjiang Gang and Dongsha Gang are all the same products, called Jianghu Gangs, but in fact there is no chivalrous creed at all. They are essentially chambers of commerce and profit-oriented. Last night, if I hadn't taken the lead, I had asked the Han family to negotiate the price with Zou Tong and use the Dajiang route as a bargaining chip, the Hengjiang Gang would have collected hundreds of taels of silver in the Kingdom City and sent them to Xiqin quickly."

"No way..."

"The young master doesn't believe it? Then, I'll ask, the young master has been in the Hengjiang Gang for several years. What kind of chivalrous things have you done? I'm afraid I'll spend most of my time wandering around the docks and watching the venue? The so-called chivalrous justice means fighting with the Dongsha Gang for territory and fighting with the military."

"Why..." Seeing Duan Yan's stunned expression, he knew that the truth was.

After a while, Duan Yan finally put on a sentence: "Since the Hengjiang Gang has no chivalrous power, Master Yan, are you still allied with them?"

"Haha, you are too honest. The so-called alliance is just a transaction. The Han family has established relationships, the Hengjiang Gang provides money, and I am the young man who is in a position to share the money. That's all."

Duan Yan opened his mouth wide and his face was filled with exclamation: It turns out that it is just such an alliance!

"Well, it's just such an alliance." Yan Li replied affirmatively, "And the Hengjiang Gang's transaction partner is not honest and keeps making small moves in secret. This young master has decided to lower their credit rating and introduce competitors to them."

Duan Yan was confused when he heard this, "What does this mean?"

"My young master, what do you think Du Hong is here to do today?" Yan Li smiled and analyzed all of Du Hong's behaviors and the various tentative connotations of the Hengjiang Gang.

Duan Yan felt dizzy when he heard this, and there seemed to be two mosquito coils in his eyes. After shaking his head for a long time, he woke up and said in confusion: "Can you use the Dajiang Channel as a bargaining chip to trade with the Hengjiang Gang, and what bargaining chips to negotiate with the Dongsha Gang?"

"It's the same chip." Yan Li smiled, "Since you can use the opening of the Yangtze River route to win over the Hengjiang Gang, you can use the destroying of the Yangtze River route to force the Dongsha Gang to become a city alliance! The Dongsha Gang saw this and was unwilling to go to the death to break the situation, so he brought Lingjian Pavilion to his door. After all, businessmen pay attention to harmony and wealth..."

"While the Dongsha Gang originally planned to give gifts, he showed his strength, gave a Lingjian Pavilion, took away 10,000 taels of silver, and took the initiative in the negotiations. Unfortunately, behind us is the towering mountain Zhuchan Temple, and the dragons crossing the river in Jiuhuan Mountain Huweitang were not completed, so he had to turn into a little water snake and go back to his hometown in shame." Yan Li said again.

"My God..." Duan Yan was completely disgusted and was lying on the chair without any image, expressing his conceit in body language.

"If this can be called complicated... I'm the young leader, for you, I won't be so impatient that I'll be like a gang in the future, so don't play with it?"

"Yes, Young Master Yan, I obey the order..."

——…—

The main reason for driving Duan Yan out to deal with the follow-up of the Dou Jian was to leave the Hengjiang Gang, and Yan Li himself entered the most important job today - alchemy.

Of course, the protagonist of the alchemy is not Yan Li himself, but Gui Yun.

Yan Li's courtyard has been completely closed and idle people are not allowed to enter.

The courtyard is full of Bagua Taoist banners, full of mysterious artistic conception.

A five-foot-high ancient bronze elixir furnace stands in the middle of the courtyard, wafting out misty clouds and smoke.

On the water level of Kan in the north, that is, at the door of the main hall, a simple magic platform is built with incense and candles. Unlike the ordinary magic platform, in addition to talismans, wooden swords, and five-color rice sacrifices, there is also an exquisite wooden frame with eight golden chimes hanging on them, which depict the Eight Trigrams and texts respectively.

"Ordinary immortal alchemy must use one's own cultivation and special magic tricks to activate the magic tool and alchemy furnace to refine the alchemy furnace. This method is closely combined with the alchemist and the alchemy furnace, and the magic tricks react the fastest, the easiest and the best method to refine the alchemy." Gui Yun said.

"But my true energy is limited, and long-term alchemy refining will damage my cultivation. Even immortal cultivators with spiritual roots need to be trained or above to refine it. To ensure the success rate, innate cultivation is required. Therefore, for thousands of years, under the research of many alchemists, the divine sacrificial method has been used to replace the immortal path, greatly reducing the need for alchemy."

"The advantage of the divine alchemy is that from the beginning to the end, using the power of ghosts and gods to activate the alchemy furnace, only five-color rice and several talismans are needed to be used as sacrifices. The alchemist's cultivation can be ignored. There are two disadvantages: one is that the alchemist indirectly contacts the alchemist and lacks specific mastery of the pill training status, making it difficult to adapt to the changes. The alchemist requires the alchemist to master the pill refining more accurately and the medicine is more accurate.

"The second is that it is easy to invite gods to send them to gods. Although the power of ghosts and gods is convenient, but if the sacrificial ritual is improper or there is a problem with the sacrifice, it is easy to cause backlash. The lower the alchemist's cultivation level, the greater the chance of backlash."

The implication is that ghosts and gods are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

Guiyun also explained in detail each step of the sacrifice process, as well as the techniques and functions required for the Bagua and Golden Chime on the altar.
