Lin Dongjiu returned to the room and opened the door, only to see Yin Xiaodie sitting on a chair with a worried look on her face.

Seeing that Lin Dongjiu was back, Yin Xiaodie immediately calmed down her worried look, walked to Lin Dongjiu and asked softly:

"Benefactor, who are those people? Why are you coming to Lei Guangzong so late?"

Lin Dongjiu was now exhausted both physically and mentally, so he responded casually: "The people from the Fantasy Sect are here to make trouble with me."

Yin Xiaodie covered her mouth and said in shock: "Then...then they didn't do anything to their benefactor, right?"

"It's okay, otherwise I might not be able to come back now." Lin Dongjiu smiled lightly.

"Benefactor, looking at your frown, you are too tired. You should rest early today."

Yin Xiaodie said seriously: "If the benefactor doesn't want to sleep with me, I can sleep on the floor..."

Lin Dongjiu waved his hand: "No, you go to sleep first, I will sit for a while."

Yin Xiaodie chuckled and said, "Then I'll go help my benefactor warm the bed first!"

Lin Dongjiu just nodded, and when he saw Yin Xiaodie getting into bed, he flicked out the candles in the room.

Darkness flooded the entire room. Lin Dong Jiuku sat on a chair, holding his chin with his hands, his brows knitted together, and the veins on his forehead were looming.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was already late at night, everything was completely silent, and the only sound that could be heard in the room was Yin Xiaodie's sound sleep.

Feeling sleepy, Lin Dongjiu glanced at the bed tent subconsciously, and couldn't help but stop at Yin Xiaodie's sleeping face.

Yin Xiaodie... Lin Dongjiu's face froze, his pupils shrank slightly, but he calmly retracted them and continued to sit on the chair in a daze.

He sighed and kept shaking his head. His face was full of tangles, and his eyes sank with the moonlight in the sky...

...

As the morning sun rose, Yin Xiaodie woke up leisurely, stretched out, and turned around to see Lin Dongjiu standing by the window, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

The cool breeze blew his long hair, the golden morning light reflected his sharp profile, and the cold light reflected in the bottomless eyes.

Yin Xiaodie stared blankly, then she seemed to realize something, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she quickly looked away, but for no reason, she felt empty in her heart, and her red lips trembled slightly.

After gathering her emotions, Yin Xiaodie straightened her clothes, got out of bed, walked beside Lin Dongjiu, and followed his gaze to look out the window, but there was nothing outside the window except the gradually blue sky.

Yin Xiaodie asked aloud:

"My benefactor, have you not slept all night?"

Lin Dongjiu slowly turned his head, with deep fatigue in his eyes.

"Well, I want to take a nap."

He staggered to the bedside, took off his shoes and lay down on it.

He didn't want to use cultivation to relieve fatigue, he just wanted to have a good sleep.

It's too tiring, he doesn't like this kind of life.

After a while, even breathing came, and Lin Dongjiu fell into a deep sleep.

Yin Xiaodie glanced at him, took his place, and looked out the window, as silent as a statue.

...

I don't know when Lin Dongjiu woke up, and his eyes were pitch black.

Did you sleep until dark?

Lin Dongjiu smelled the fragrance coming from beside him, moved his arms that were pressed against his chest, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Early the next morning, Lin Dongjiu opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. He felt refreshed and indescribably energetic.

He got up, put on his clothes, and woke up Yin Xiaodie next to him:

"Xiaodie, let's go, let's go back to Crescent City."

"Ah...ok~"

Yin Xiaodie stretched her waist, got up, and left the room with him.

After bidding farewell to Elder Ji Ping, Lin Dongjiu took out Feiyunzhou, took Yin Xiaodie with him, and rushed to Crescent City at an extremely fast speed.

Yin Xiaodie had never ridden on this kind of flying magic weapon. She looked around with wide eyes and marveled:

"Benefactor, your baby is so good. I have never seen it before."

Not only was it good, it was also very hard... Lin Dongjiu smiled and ignored her.

About half an hour later, Lin Dongjiu piloted the Feiyun Boat and landed on the outskirts of Crescent City.

Collected Feiyunzhou and entered the city with Yin Xiaodie.

Today's Crescent City is particularly lively. The new city lord has taken office and the alchemy contest is a big election. Each of these events is not a trivial matter, so many monks came after hearing the news.

But these monks may not be interested in the new city lord taking office. What they are interested in are the alchemists.

Alchemists can be said to be the giant pandas in the world of immortality, especially wild alchemists. They are also the ones that some small forces and small sects like to compete for.

Wild alchemists will also be sought after by casual cultivators, because some casual cultivators simply cannot afford the elixirs sold in the Great Alchemy Pavilion. They can only collect the materials needed for alchemy first, and then ask wild alchemists to refine them. The cost is relatively low.

Said it was much lower.

Wild alchemists are also happy to help them refine elixirs, just to make some extra money to support their families.

After all, learning to make alchemy is very expensive. Once the furnace explodes and the alchemy furnace becomes useless, the materials for alchemy will also be reduced to nothing.

There was no need to inquire, just follow the flow of people. After a while, Lin Dongjiu led Yin Xiaodie to the registration place.

There were not as many alchemists in line as expected, only about a few dozen, and most of them were melon-eaters watching the excitement.

Any alchemist who queues up will immediately be surrounded by three or five groups of people and enjoy the treatment of stars holding the moon.

They are like salesmen, introducing to those alchemists the benefits and conditions that their faction or sect can offer them.

Lin Dongjiu was naturally not immune. At first, he waved his hand politely and refused, but later he became impatient and had to put on a bad face.

But the effect was also excellent. When the salesmen saw that Lin Dongjiu had no intention, they stopped disturbing him.

Anyway, three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are not many two-legged alchemists here, so why bother with the thankless task of being a humble little licking dog?

Yin Xiaodie still held Lin Dongjiu's arm. She seemed to have no resistance to the lively environment. She kept chattering with her small mouth. Lin Dongjiu also responded with a smile, and she was in a happy mood. To outsiders, they looked like a young couple.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Dongjiu was finally in line.

The registration process is very simple. You fill out a form, have your bone age tested, and are limited to 12 to 22 years old. Then you can receive a jade medal representing your identity, and then wait for the organizer to arrange the alchemy site and alchemy furnace in the afternoon.

The top ten in the final election will be qualified to go to the Imperial City to participate in the competition. The process is efficient, but only takes one day.

At noon, the Lord of Crescent City will take office at the City Lord's Mansion and show his face to everyone.

Lin Dongjiu was not interested in this. He just heard that the name of the new city lord was Chen Dongsheng, so he took Yin Xiaodie to have a casual meal and walked around with her for a while. After making an appointment, he took her to the election venue as the time was almost up.

The square in front of the Crescent City City Lord's Palace.

When we arrived at the square, there were three times as many melon-eaters as there were when we signed up.

There was a warning line around the center of the square. Dozens of alchemy furnaces were placed inside the warning line. Some alchemy materials such as spiritual herbs and elixirs were also prepared next to the alchemy furnaces.

On the outside of the square, facing the city lord's palace, a high stand was erected, and sitting at the top was a man in rich clothes.

This man is thin, and the fine clothes he wears are barely holding up. He has high cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks, and heavy circles under his eyes. If you just look at his appearance, you might think he is a drug addict.

This man must be the newly appointed city lord of Crescent City. If he looks like this, if his political performance is not good, he might be assassinated again... Lin Dongjiu joked casually in his mind.

However, he looked at Chen Dongsheng with very sharp eyes, and he was chatting with people around him. He had a good temperament, and he didn't look like a dissolute person.

Immediately, Lin Dongjiu frowned. He felt that Chen Dongsheng gave him a very familiar feeling, like an acquaintance... Was it an illusion?

The steward was already greeting the players to enter. Lin Dongjiu shook his head. Without enough time to think about it, he arranged Yin Xiaodie outside the venue and followed the other alchemists into the competition venue.

Before leaving, Yin Xiaodie excitedly waved to Lin Dongjiu:

"Come on, benefactor, I'm waiting for your good news..."

However, not long after Lin Dongjiu left, three men suddenly gathered around behind Yin Xiaodie who was standing in the crowd.

One of the men in gold and silver walked up to her and said politely:

"I'm Yan Dang. My father is the head of the Yan family in Crescent City. There is an exclusive seat for my Yan family over there. Why don't you, girl, come with me to avoid suffering from the scorching sun? How about that?"

She looks gentle and gentle on the surface, but her dirty eyes are looking at Yin Xiaodie's body, not sparing every part of her body.

Everyone who noticed this scene shook their heads secretly. The Yan family was one of the first forces to join the Huan Sect, so the Yan family had great power in Crescent City.

This Yan Dang himself is a complete playboy, and because he is the only son of the Yan family, he is always pampered. Due to his family connections, he runs rampant in Crescent City and does all kinds of evil.

If he fell in love with a woman from a certain family, he would be kidnapped even on the street.

I'm afraid this little girl won't be able to escape today... Everyone sighed in their hearts, but they all looked on with cold eyes and ignored the matter.

The charm that Lin Dongjiu had in Yin Xiaodie's eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by indifference and disgust with murderous intent.

"My girl's skin is so tender and tender. If it gets damaged by the sun, I'll feel bad."

After saying that, Yan Dang showed a lewd smile and went to grab Yin Xiaodie's hand.

Yin Xiaodie just snorted coldly, and Yan Danggang's outstretched hand was immediately firmly grasped.

Yan Dang's face showed annoyance, but then a hint of amusement appeared on his face. He probably had some short-sighted person who couldn't stand him and wanted to play a hero to save the beauty.

He had encountered this kind of trick too many times, and as a result, the person who was in the way was severely trampled under his feet.

However, he always looks forward to such a farce, just because it will make him feel better and give his abnormal psychology great satisfaction.

The two followers he brought were not vegetarians, but were worshiped by his father from the world of immortality at a great price. This was one of the reasons why he dared to act unscrupulously in the city.

Wait, where are my two followers... Thinking of this, Yan Dang, who was immersed in the role of the villain, changed his expression.
To be continued...
