An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

After Xu Fu told everyone exactly what happened that day, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had kept this matter in his heart all along, and would think of it every time he saw Shi Jiuan. Now that he had told Shi Qingshan, he felt like a burden had been lifted from his heart.

"I see."

Shi Qingshan looked into the distance and sighed. Ever since Shi Buzhuan left without saying goodbye, Shi Qingshan had expected that this day would come. However, when he really heard the news, he couldn't help feeling sad.

"Please accept my condolences, sir." Xu Fu consoled him. This was the first time he announced a death to someone and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If the old man knew that the Shi family was still alive and Xiao Jiu was safe, he would rest in peace even in his grave."

Shi Qingshan sighed, and seeing Xu Fu also looked sad, he stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying in a deep voice: "This is the one chosen by the old man, I believe he will not make a mistake. When the old man passes the 'fifth seven', I will marry you."

"Finish the marriage? Finish what marriage?"

Xu Fu was feeling a little sad at first, but when he heard what Shi Qingshan said, he was stunned. Why was he talking about a marriage when he was already reporting a death?

"You and Xiaojiu, you were delayed by those monsters before. I will make up for it for you in a few days."

"You must not..."

"You don't have to refuse. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

"What do you mean by son-in-law? You misunderstood. I have never thought about getting married..."

As Xu Fu listened to Shi Qingshan's words, he felt more and more distant from him, so he quickly refused.

"You don't want to marry Xiaojiu? Then why do you want to fight in the martial arts competition to find a bride?" Shi Qingshan asked.

"I had already promised Senior Shi that I would protect her and make her safe. I didn't want her to fall into the hands of those with bad intentions," Xu Fu explained.

"Since you promised to protect Xiaojiu, how can you accompany her day and night if you don't marry her?"

"She is in the Shi family now. She is naturally well protected and very safe. One more person like me won't make a difference."

"Don't forget, the Shi family was controlled by the demons two days ago. We are all in danger. Do you dare to say that these people will not make a comeback?"

Shi Qingshan said solemnly: "Don't worry, my Shi family will not let you suffer any injustice. How about giving 'Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar' to Xiaojiu as a dowry? After the wedding, this pair of magic weapons will be given to you to use..."

"To be honest with you, Master, I already have someone in my heart!"

When Xu Fu heard Shi Qingshan talking about the dowry, he dared not hide anything and told him the truth. However, what surprised Xu Fu was that Shi Qingshan would actually take out the Shi family's heirloom magic weapon as a dowry. This was really a big deal!

Shi Qingshan really stopped talking after hearing this, and it seemed that he was considering something. Xu Fu also didn't say anything. After all, the other party had good intentions, and it was indeed a bit unfair to reject him so ruthlessly.

During the moment of silence between the two, Xu Fu felt as if time had stood still within this area of ​​several feet, making him feel uncomfortable all over. If he had not found the alchemy furnace and the fire-gathering beads yet, he really would not have wanted to stay here for a moment.

"All right!"

Shi Qingshan finally sighed.

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu hurriedly bowed and breathed a sigh of relief. The marriage was finally canceled.

"I allow you to marry another wife, but she must be ranked after Xiaojiu, and that woman must be a woman with a clean background. Also, the first child of you and Xiaojiu must have the surname Shi..."

Xu Fu found that he was really "deceived" by Shi Qingshan's appearance. He didn't expect that such a mighty and strong man could be more nagging than a matchmaker.

If Xu Fu hadn't known Shi Jiuan's status in the Shi family, he would have certainly treated her as a hot potato. Otherwise, why would this father work so hard to marry her off?

Until the end, Xu Fu still failed to convince Shi Qingshan, and everything was put off until "later discussion".

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the red bead has been found!"

A servant suddenly came running over and brought good news.

Xu Fu was overjoyed and hurriedly followed Shi Qingshan to the front hall, where he found that there was indeed a short and thin servant kneeling there holding a fire-gathering bead. Upon hearing Shi Qingshan coming, the servant turned to Shi Qingshan in fear, and knocked his head to the ground, not daring to raise it.

Xu Fu stepped forward quickly, picked up the fire-gathering bead and poured a bit of spiritual power into it. Immediately, a ball of flame rose up.

"That's it! Thank you very much!"

Xu Fu thanked him and tried to help the servant up, but the servant's face was full of fear. He struggled quickly and fell back to the ground.

Xu Fu put the Fire Gathering Bead into his arms, and suddenly remembered the bead Fang Su had given him. When he was in Qinglong before, he always thought about Li Wuji, and now he remembered what Fang Su had told him.

Normally, the beads should be with the tattered clothes. I don’t know who changed them for him. I can only ask Li Wuji when I get back.

"Good! You have done a great job in finding the treasure, and I will give you a reward of ten thousand gold coins!"

After Shi Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at a man who looked like a housekeeper and continued, "Give him a job as a housekeeper and teach him more."

"Thank you... Thank you, Patriarch! Thank you, Patriarch..."

Ishida kowtowed hurriedly, expressing his gratitude profusely.

Shi Tian was originally just the lowest-ranking servant in the Shi family. He had just been in the Shi residence for more than a year, and had always done the dirtiest and most tiring work.

His original job was to clean the toilets in Shi's mansion, a job that no one had ever been willing to do, and Shi Tian had been doing it for more than half a year. But yesterday, this job was snatched away by several servants with more seniority, and then he was chased away to take on the hard job of repairing the martial arts arena.

It was by chance that Ishida accidentally discovered this fire-gathering bead from a crack in the ground.

There was a lot of dirt on the fire-gathering bead. Ishida originally thought it was just a round stone, and because it looked special, he put it in his arms and didn't take it seriously.

Later, when he heard that the whole hospital was looking for a pearl, he remembered it, took it out and washed it. Then he realized that he had picked up a treasure, and hurriedly reported it to the manager, which led to the scene of rewarding in front of the hall.

I didn't expect to find the Fire Gathering Bead so quickly. Xu Fu secretly praised himself for his wisdom and thankfully didn't waste too much time in the martial arts arena.

In addition, Shi Qingshan's words "a reward of ten thousand gold" also made Xu Fu's eyes light up. Such a serious injury would surely spread throughout the hospital soon, and the alchemy furnace would be just around the corner.

"Where is Master Xing Dan now?"

Xu Fu had put his mind at ease at this point, but suddenly he thought of Xing Shande.

"Master Xing is in seclusion now, refining medicine for those who have been poisoned by Gu in the mansion. Those cultivators are waiting for his medicine to prolong their lives." Shi Qingshan replied, showing great respect for Xing Shande in his words.

"Is the body still in the dungeon?"

"That dungeon was originally a cellar of the Shi family. I didn't expect it to be used by those evil people to harm people. I have ordered people to fill up the cellar and burn the corpses inside."

Xu Fu sighed when he heard this. One of the "Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon" didn't even leave a trace of his body.

"Report to the Patriarch!"

Xu Fu was still sighing here when he heard a servant come to report.

"Any news about the alchemy furnace?"
