An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Let him make trouble again! It's his own fault!"

Zhu Dabao was in a good mood when he saw Zhu Daqin being humiliated. When he looked at Xu Fu again, he felt that he was not as annoying as before, and he gradually talked more.

After Zhu Dabao's introduction, Xu Fu learned that all the villagers in Zhujia Village had the surname Zhu. Although they all had the same ancestor, they had split up long ago. Now there are dozens of households, large and small, in the whole village, and everyone lives their own life.

However, even though they have been separated, when something big happens, the elders with the highest seniority in the village will still gather together to discuss it.

Today, the most prestigious and most senior person in Zhujia Village is the clan leader. He is also the only ancestor of the "hundred" generation in the village.

"Zhu Baichang!"

Xu Fu had already learned the name of this old man from Hu Wangshuo. The entire Zhujia Village was ranked according to the principle of "the sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is greatness". So, Zhu Baichang should be of the same generation as Zhu Dabao's grandfather's grandfather's father, so he could really be considered an ancestor!

"This is it."

Zhujia Village is not very big. As they were talking, they had already passed through the village and arrived at a gentle slope behind the village.

From a distance, Xu Fu saw that at the most conspicuous part of the gentle slope there was an ancestral hall, which looked quite old and very simple and solemn.

Zhu Dabao led the three people to the front of the ancestral hall. They could smell a strong scent of incense before they entered.

However, Zhu Dabao did not lead the few people into the ancestral hall, but walked around the ancestral hall and came to the back of it.

There is a small house behind the ancestral hall and a flat open space in front of the house. The open space is surrounded by trees, some of which have fruits hanging on them.

A slightly thin old man was taking a nap on an old recliner. Next to him was a small stool, on which was a huge old tea bowl.

"Grandpa!" Zhu Dabao shouted loudly.

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Fu hurriedly tried to stop Zhu Dabao. He didn't want to disturb the old man's rest, but he failed to stop him. Zhu Dabao had already run over.

“It’s Dabao!”

The old man opened his sleepy eyes and smiled immediately when he saw it was Zhu Dabao.

"Who are these kids?" Zhu Baichang saw the three people behind Zhu Dabao at a glance and asked with narrowed eyes.

"They lit the 'signal fire' and I brought them here." Zhu Dabao immediately explained to Zhu Baichang.

"What are you doing here?"

When Zhu Dabao heard Zhu Baichang's question, he was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know what Xu Fulai was doing.

"Meet the old-timers!"

Xu Fu hurried forward to pay his respects, and then explained in detail the purpose of his visit.

"Take them to find your Second Master."

"Then I'll eat some fruit to quench my thirst."

After hearing what Zhu Baichang said, Zhu Dabao didn't say anything else. Instead, he ran to a nearby tree, picked a spotted fruit from it and took a big bite.

"Leopard courage?"

Xu Fu was slightly surprised. He recognized it as a leopard gall from the beginning, but the spiritual power contained in it was definitely not that of a fourth-grade spiritual fruit. It was not until Zhu Dabao bit into it and Xu Fu smelled the familiar fruity fragrance that he was sure that the tree was full of leopard gall!

Hearing Xu Fu's surprised voice, Zhu Baichang looked at him with a smile, and then gave instructions to Zhu Dabao.

"Don't just eat them yourself, pick two for the guests, too."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dabao smiled embarrassedly at Xu Fu, and hurriedly picked up a small basket from the side of the hut and picked a full basket of leopard gallbladders.

Several people ate as they walked, and Xu Fu was amazed.

I only knew that there were super-grade elixirs, but I didn't expect that there were also super-grade spiritual fruits in the world.

This leopard gall is clearly a fourth-grade spiritual fruit, but the one Xu Fu ate was definitely a fifth-grade one.

There seems to be only one grade difference between the fourth grade and the fifth grade, but for spiritual objects, it is a world of difference.

According to common sense, this fourth-grade spiritual creature will never grow into a fifth-grade one. This will not change just because of the rich spiritual energy. There must be other reasons.

Xu Fu did not ask about this. This must be a top secret. How could he tell outsiders casually?

What he is most concerned about now is how to cure Bai Yu.

"Why do you want us to see your second master, old senior?" Xu Fu asked curiously while eating fruit.

"Dealing with people outside the village has always been handled by the Second Master's family." Zhu Dabao said vaguely with a fruit in his mouth.

"I see!"

Xu Fu understood immediately. It seemed that everyone in Zhujia Village also had their own division of labor. The most important thing now was to convince Zhu Dabao, the second master.

Thinking of this, Xu Fu subconsciously touched the Qiankun bag on his waist. The sea dragon meat in it was the reason he came here.

According to Hu Wangshuo, the most important reason why Zhujia Village, as a secluded family, has contact with the outside world is to collect good ingredients. This is a family that "uses cooking to enter the Tao", and they have a special obsession with high-quality ingredients.

Sea dragon meat will definitely work!

Thinking of this, Xu Fu regained some confidence.

A few people walked to the east end of the village and saw a large house that was different from the others at a glance.

It’s not that the house is tall and magnificent, but that there is a row of big red lanterns hanging high above the door.

Xu Fu had also seen this kind of red lanterns along the way, either one or two, and he didn't think it was special.

But the one in front of me has eight lanterns hanging in a long row, which looks very imposing.

"What does this mean?" Xu Fu was puzzled.

"This one!" Zhu Dabao looked at the red lanterns and actually showed an envious expression.

"Every 20 years, there is a 'lantern festival' in the village. Each household prepares a dish and competes with the one who has the best dish. He or she wins a lantern."

"I see!"

Only then did Xu Fu realize that this lantern had such a profound origin, and he immediately showed great respect to Zhu Dabao's second master.

"Second Master! Second Master!"

The door was wide open and Zhu Dabao walked in shouting.

"Dabao is here!"

A middle-aged woman hurriedly greeted him.

"Second wife, where is my second master?" Zhu Dabao asked the woman.

"Where else could he be? He's still messing around with the cooking guys. Why are you looking for your uncle?"

"Someone has come to the village. Grandpa asked me to bring people to find him."

"Let me see."

When Zhu Dabao said this, the woman hurriedly took off her apron, took two quick steps, and came to the door.

"Okay!"

When the woman saw the three people, her eyes lit up and she immediately praised them.

"I've met senior!"

Xu Fu hurriedly took the two girls to pay their respects. Since they already knew that this woman was Zhu Daqin's second wife, it would not be wrong to pay respects to an elder, even though the other party did not look much older than Bai Yu.

"Come in and sit down, come in!" the woman greeted them happily, and quickly let them into the house, and quickly washed some fruits and vegetables and placed them on the table.

Seeing the woman's enthusiasm at this time, Xu Fu felt a lot more relaxed, and in a trance he felt as if he had gone to the home of a distant elder.

"What's the girl's name? How many people are there in her family?"

Seeing the woman sitting next to Li Wuzhi and talking, Xu Fu suddenly realized a serious problem.
