The scene in front of Shen Xisheng could not be said to be magnificent, at least it was poverty-stricken.

The entire city lord's palace is empty. After taking a few steps, you can hear the echoes of footsteps colliding with the walls from all directions.

This was in great contrast with the grandeur outside the city lord's mansion, making Shen Xisheng wonder if there was something wrong with the way he entered.

"Ahem, the City Lord's Mansion has just been rebuilt, and many furniture and utensils have not been added yet. Please don't mind, Fellow Daoist Li, and come up to talk about it."

At this moment, a familiar voice came down the stairs not far away, and then the voice bounced around in the large space, making Shen Xisheng's head buzz.

If some kind of sound wave formation is installed here, the effect will be unexpectedly good.

Shen Xisheng shook his head and thought about this question seriously, then he took a step forward and climbed up the stairs to the second floor amidst the sound of footsteps in all directions.

The space on the second floor has shrunk relatively a bit, and there are a lot of various artifacts that look expensive at first glance, making the first floor even more barren.

At this time, City Lord Li Dong had already sat down at an exquisite wooden table. With a snap of his fingers, he cast a fire spell to make tea, which made Shen Xisheng feel elegance in his heart.

In what era are you still doing the traditional method of making tea around a stove? You should try the monk’s hand rubbing technique to make tea!

After Li Dongcheng saw Shen Xisheng coming up, he snapped his fingers, and a chair next to the table opened its arms to Shen Xisheng.

It can be seen that City Lord Li Dong would still be a very particular person if he had not suffered the tragic experience of the past few days.

Although every move of the other party is filled with extremely high demeanor, Shen Xisheng will still inevitably think of the dark face and white teeth of City Master Li Dong that night.

This impression has lingered in his mind. City Lord, your character has collapsed!

However, seeing others treat each other with such courtesy, Shen Xisheng still tried his best to suppress his desire to complain.

He also smiled politely, then followed City Lord Li Dong's kindness and sat aside, picked up the cup of tea placed in front of him, took a sip, and said:

“Good tea.”

Then he saw City Lord Li Dong's face change slightly, and he was silent for a brief moment before he replied with some embarrassment:

"Friend Daoist Li, that's the first cup of tea, I should have poured it out first."

"..."

Shen Xisheng suddenly remembered that there seems to be this rule for drinking tea. If you don't drink the first cup of brewed tea, you must pour it out first.

No, then City Lord, why did you put this cup of tea in my place and bully me without remembering the rules?

I need to keep a small notebook!

But in this way, the characters of both sides have completely collapsed, and there is no psychological burden when talking.

It was City Lord Li Dong who changed the subject first and asked with concern:

"I don't know how effective the pill I asked Su Fu to bring to Fellow Daoist Li a few days ago. Is your health feeling better?"

After hearing this, Shen Xisheng quickly calmed down and thanked City Lord Li Dong with clasped fists:

"Thank you City Lord for the elixir. This elixir is extremely effective. Most of my injuries have healed. I think I will be fully recovered in a few days."

Upon hearing that the elixir was effective, City Master Li Dong nodded with satisfaction, and then went directly to the topic:

"Fellow Daoist Li is a real hero for leading everyone to defeat the demonic cultivators who are raging in chaos. As a city lord, I am really ashamed that I failed to fulfill my duties.

Now I can only compensate Daoist Fellow Li afterwards. Apart from anything else, I should be able to do my best financially. I wonder what Daoist Fellow Li wants?"

Here we go, it’s time for everyone to enjoy the benefits.

Shen Xisheng was overjoyed, but the expression on his face was very dull. He smoothed his beard and looked thoughtful before speaking:

"Actually, I have a little knowledge of alchemy, but I didn't bring any medicinal materials for the alchemy furnace with me on this trip. After taking the elixir given by the city lord, I wanted to regain my alchemy, but I don't know..."

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Li also knows how to make alchemy!"

Before Shen Xisheng could finish his words, City Master Li Dong interrupted him with a look of joy on his face.

After noticing that he had lost his composure, City Master Li Dong coughed twice and spread his hands to signal Shen Xisheng to continue.

City Lord Li Dong is in urgent need of an alchemist. He actually lost his temper when he heard that he knew how to make alchemy.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to ask for, Shen Xisheng decided not to mention his own conditions, but instead asked City Master Li Dong:

"I wonder if the city lord has encountered any difficulties in refining alchemy recently. Is it because he lacks manpower or is he having trouble refining some kind of elixir?"

Master Li Dongcheng saw that Shen Xisheng was interested in this matter, so he didn't show off and directly told his side of the situation:

"To be honest, although my injuries have improved a lot, my foundation was slightly damaged due to my all-out fight with the witch in the previous battle.

Fortunately, I have the recipe for the Complex Root Pill. As long as I refine the Complex Root Pill, my damaged foundation can be restored."

The recipe for Fugendan is a good thing!

Shen Xisheng had seen this thing when browsing in the system store before, and it cost a thousand causal points.

After all, elixirs produce varying degrees of effects based on the quality of the medicinal materials they are made from, which means that as long as the medicinal materials are good enough, the damaged foundation can be repaired regardless of realm.

City Lord Li Dong’s background is indeed remarkable, he actually has such a recipe.

Shen Xisheng bowed his hand to Lord Li Dong and complimented him:

"The Lord of the City has the recipe for the Root-Repairing Pill, so it won't be a problem to repair the foundation. I wish the Lord of the City a speedy recovery."

Of course, that's what he said, but judging from the other party's performance, it won't be possible to get the compound pill for a while.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so excited after hearing that I could make alchemy.

As expected, Lord Li Dong quickly frowned and said to Shen Xisheng with a wry smile:

"Fellow Daoist Li is a smart man. There is no need to say any more polite words. I only have pill recipes and medicinal materials, but I don't have an alchemist who can refine the root-repairing pill."

After Shen Xisheng heard this, he immediately felt a little strange. If City Lord Li Dong said that his alchemist couldn't make the Rejuvenation Pill, he would understand, but it would be wrong if he couldn't even find anyone.

He quickly asked:

"City Lord Li Dong spends so much money, why is there no alchemist available?"

"Alas, it seems that Fellow Daoist Li really doesn't know the recipe for the Root Rejuvenation Pill either."

City Lord Li Dong sighed, and then continued to explain to Shen Xisheng:

"The main ingredients of this complex root pill have very strong medicinal properties, so it tests the alchemist's blending ability. If you are not careful during the refining process, it will fail.

It would be fine if it just failed. The problem is that it is very easy to explode the furnace after the refining of the complex root pill fails.
