At this moment, in the medicine garden, there are dozens of figures running around in hundreds of medicine fields, large and small.
Zhou Xing was far away in the northernmost corner, so as soon as he entered the medicine garden, Zhou Xing walked non-stop towards the north.
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
Many disciples greeted Zhou Xing along the way.
Although he cannot practice, Zhou Xing is gentle in dealing with others, and many disciples have a good impression of him.
"Senior Brother Zhou is here, now we are in trouble."
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou must have offended someone..."
"Shh , please keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard by Senior Brother Zhou."
After seeing Zhou Xing, many disciples greeted him in whispers, with strange looks in their eyes.
Zhou Xing naturally felt the strange look in everyone's eyes and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But after arriving at the medicine garden, Zhou Xing finally understood the reason for everyone’s strange looks, and the surprise turned into endless anger.
On my own medicine garden, I saw the broken branches and leaves of the elixir, many of which had been uprooted, sparsely withered, and there was no intact place in the entire medicine field.
Who is it? ! !
Zhou Xing's face turned livid, and his usual gentleness disappeared. A fierce and fierce sword intent came out of his body, and his whole person was like a volcano.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhou Xing picked up a spiritual grass and examined it, only to find that the spiritual grass was covered with tooth marks, as if it had been gnawed by some small beast.
Could it be that some small monster came into this medicine garden?
However, wasn’t this medicine garden set up by an elder of the Wuyan Immortal Sect who had set up a defensive array?
To this day, Zhou Xing still remembers what the elder said: This defensive formation cannot be broken even by the first spirit mirror monster.
Zhou Xing pondered, but was helpless.
"It seems that I can only spend points to exchange elixir seeds from the sect and plant them again. It will be about a month before the 'Baicao Pavilion' comes to collect the herbs, so I should be able to make up for it."
p>Zhou Xing sighed. With his knowledge of elixirs, the elixirs grown by Zhou Xing were always of better quality and higher yield than others. Every time he turned in the elixirs, he would get a lot of points. Unexpectedly, this time he would have to It's a loss-making business.
Zhou Xing has been in the Wuyan Immortal Sect for three years. Although he still has not become a monk, he has accumulated hundreds of points, which is several times more than the disciples who came to him at the same time.
After spending two hundred points, Zhou Xing redeemed a batch of elixir seeds and came to the medicine garden.
"Hey! Senior brother Zhou Xing, I heard that you are one of the best in planting elixirs in the medicine garden. What's going on?"
Zhou Xing is planting the elixirs in the field. After the medicine was removed, a sarcastic laughter came from the side.
Zhou Xing knew who it was by listening to the voice without raising his head.
This person’s name is Zhao Yuan. He is the first level of acquired realm.He is at the bottom of the Yanxian Sect, but at least he can sense the aura of heaven and earth, so he can be considered a monk.
Because of his low status and low moral character, he basically has no friends, but this guy is quite good at finding a sense of superiority from Zhou Xing.
After all, I am a monk, and you are nothing.
Faced with Zhao Yuan's gloating, Zhou Xing seemed not to have heard it.
Zhao Yuanyuan didn’t talk to Zhou Xing, and he was bored, so he went to take care of his medicine field.
For a person like Zhao Yuan, the more you pay attention to him, the happier he gets, so the best way is to ignore him.
Zhou Xing’s medicinal field was not big, but Zhou Xing took care of it very carefully. He did not plant the seeds of the elixir until the sun was shining at noon.
In the afternoon, Zhou Xing also had a task, which was to be a medicine boy for Elder Mo of Baicao Pavilion.
The so-called medicine boy is just a servant who assists the elders in making alchemy and delivers medicinal herbs when needed.
However, Zhou Xing enjoys this job because the benefits of being a drug boy are huge.
Not only because Elder Mo Rou is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Wuyan Immortal Sect, but also because she can watch from the side when the elder is refining elixirs. Zhou Xing’s pharmacological knowledge was learned in this process. of.
Due to the meteorite, there are only a few dozen medicine boys in Baicao Pavilion, but there are seven or eight elders. On average, each elder needs four medicine boys, so manpower is very tight.
"Senior Sister Wang!"
As soon as Zhou Xing arrived at Baicao Pavilion, he was taken away by a woman named Wang Yuan, who was Elder Mo Rou's personal medicine boy.
The so-called personal medicine boy is the kind of person who always serves, equivalent to half a disciple.
When they arrived at the alchemy room, Noila Mo was sitting cross-legged on the futon. On the fire in front of her, an alchemy furnace was emitting light.
She has skin like cream, hands like onions, a small waist that can be grasped, a charming face, waist-length black hair blowing in the wind, revealing all kinds of charm, which makes people reluctant to move after looking at it. Head.
Although this was not the first time he saw Elder Mo Rou, Zhou Xing was still shocked by his beauty every time.
There are such beautiful women in the world!
Zhou Xing was amazed in his heart, and his face immediately returned to calm.
Mo Rou was refining elixir, and Wang Yuan did not dare to disturb her. After making a gesture to Zhou Xing, she quietly stood aside. Zhou Xing also stood silently behind her.
Time passes slowly.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the lid of the alchemy furnace kept beating, and then exploded, scattering the dregs of various elixirs all over the floor.
"What's going on? I obviously made it according to the recipe of the elixir, so how could the furnace explode again?"
Mo Rou frowned and murmured to herself.
Next to them, Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan were also quiet and did not dare to disturb them.
This is the time when alchemists are most focused. They usuallyWhen summarizing the reasons for failure, if you are interrupted by the outside world, you will definitely get angry.
It is said that an inner disciple once accidentally interrupted an elder's thinking. The elder was furious and directly abolished the person's cultivation and expelled him from the Smokeless Immortal Sect.
So, the alchemist is half a madman.
Mo Rou didn’t speak, so Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan naturally wouldn’t interrupt rashly. The two sides remained silent like this, and the entire alchemy room was silent, which seemed a bit strange.
After a long while, it seemed that her thinking was fruitless, Mo Rou came back to her senses, looked at Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan in front of her, took out a golden token and handed it to Wang Yuan, waved her hand and said: "You two Take my golden order and go to the storage room to get three copies of the 'Demon Locking Pill' elixir."
"Yes!"
Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan responded respectfully. Then withdrew.
"Senior Sister Wang, this 'Demon Locking Pill' must be extraordinary. Even Elder Mo Rou, who is known as the number one alchemist of the Wuyan Immortal Sect, failed to refine it."
On the way, Zhou Xing asked.
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "It is said that this 'Monster Locking Pill' has amazing effects. As long as it is not a monster with a high level, after taking it, it can only be obedient and become a battle pet."< /p>
So much trouble?
Zhou Xing couldn't help but show a bit of yearning.
"Okay, it's useless to think too much. After all, this kind of thing is not something ordinary people like us can peep into."
Wang Yuan saw Zhou Xing looking forward to it. , couldn't help but sigh, if you could get it, who wouldn't want this kind of elixir?
"What the senior sister said is true."
Zhou Xing naturally knew that this was impossible to happen.
The two of them stopped talking and quickly went to the storage room. After obtaining the elixir, they rushed to the alchemy room.
In the alchemy room, Noila Mo looked at the pile of residues on the ground. She couldn't help but hold her forehead and whispered softly: "If it weren't for that little girl Wu Yan, I wouldn't be able to refine the lock." The demon pill is a perverted thing with a high failure rate. She must compensate me well after this incident."
After Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan came to the alchemy room and handed the elixir to Mo Rou, Just stood aside quietly, waiting for orders.
Mo Rou didn’t have many things for Wang Yuan and Zhou Xing to do. She was busy refining the elixir. After getting the medicinal materials, she activated the formation on the stove to draw out the scorching earth core fire. .
Scorching hot air waves suddenly filled the entire alchemy room, and the temperature was frighteningly high. Wang Yuan's body immediately released a thin spiritual shield, protecting herself and Zhou Xing from it. The air waves were isolated.
Wang Yuanlu's skill could only be achieved by a monk. Zhou Xing looked at it and thought about his physical condition, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
However, this is not the time to be envious. You can watch the elders making alchemy, but you can't find it with a lantern. How can you miss it?
Seeing that the flames on the stove had stabilized, No Rou slapped her palm on the alchemy cauldron. The cauldron made a banging sound, and she suddenlyHe rose from the ground, flew towards the stove, and finally landed firmly on the fire.
The scorching high temperature of the furnace fire baked the furnace cauldron. After a while, the furnace cauldron was burned all over.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mo Rou pointed at the cauldron, and suddenly the lid of the cauldron slowly lifted up and floated in the air.
Mo Rou moved her hands slowly, holding a green elixir with two fingers that Zhou Xing could not name, slowly put it into the cauldron, and then slowly refined it.
After a while, Noila Mo added another vermilion fruit.
The fire in the core of the earth is still burning brightly, and Zhou Xing clearly remembers that this is the twenty-seventh time No Rou has added elixir to the cauldron.
Zhou Xing didn't recognize these elixirs, except for the last red lotus grass, which he once heard from an elder who collected herbs in the medicine garden.
Whoosh!
As the last elixir was thrown into the cauldron by Noila Mo, the lid was also closed.
Mo Rou's spiritual power surged out from her whole body, surrounding the furnace cauldron, and then controlled it to slowly rotate on the fire, so that every part of the furnace cauldron was fully heated evenly.
There are two basic points in alchemy, namely technique and heat.
The technique is to pay attention to the order when putting the medicinal materials into the cauldron, not to reverse it, and also to pay attention to the timing, not too fast or too slow.
The fire is the size of the fire power. Simply put, it is the temperature. If the fire power is insufficient, the quality of the elixir will be extremely low. If the fire power is too strong, the furnace will easily explode.
Generally speaking, techniques and heat require countless practices to be understood, so most of the alchemy rooms are filled with old men.
Of course, some people with extraordinary talents, especially those who are sensitive to fire, can easily grasp the key points of techniques and heat.
It’s just that there are too few people like this, and they are rare. Whenever they appear, they are the targets of major forces.
Of course, only those powerful forces with deep foundations and terrifying financial resources are capable of cultivating alchemists.
Refining elixirs is an extremely long and tedious task, but you have to concentrate and concentrate. Therefore, people with hot tempers and impatient tempers are generally not suitable for elixir making. division.
Zhou Xing didn’t know what grade the “Demon Locking Pill” was, but judging from the more than twenty kinds of elixirs, it should belong to an extremely complicated category and should be around the fourth grade.
I am afraid that only Elder Mo Rou in the entire Wuyan Immortal Sect can refine the fourth-grade elixir.
“Bang!”
While Zhou Xing was staring closely at the furnace, he saw the alchemy furnace expanding again like last time, shaking constantly, and then exploded. .
"How could this happen?"
Mo Rou waved her hand and took the cauldron off the fire, frowning as she looked at the dark medicinal residue on the ground.
Zhou Xing also looked at the medicine residue on the ground, frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea.
CrossWalking up to Mo Rou, Zhou Xing slightly cupped his hands and said, "Elder Mo Rou, this disciple has a suggestion, I wonder if it should be made?"
Watching this scene, Wang Yuan frowned. She wanted to stop Zhou just now. OK, but not in time.
This is true for Zhou Xing. Could it be that he thought he could find a solution to a problem that even Elder Mo Rou couldn't solve? How naive. If it can't be solved by then, he will be punished and he will still be implicated.
At this moment, Wang Yuan was like an ant on a hot pot, restless.
"Oh?"
Mo Rou raised her head, glanced at the disciple in front of her lightly, and asked: "Just tell me what you have to say? Let's talk about it first, you If your proposal is correct, I will not treat you badly. But if you make me explode again, I will punish you severely."
In fact, Noila Mo is not what she appears to be. Unlike other die-hards, she also advocates having your own thoughts and not living in a circle drawn by others.
The reason why he said this was just to sound the alarm to Zhou Xing.
"This is natural."
Zhou Xing was not afraid at all.
"Then tell me your proposal."
Seeing Zhou Xing's confidence, Noila Mo also became interested.
Zhou Xing nodded and said: "I have little knowledge and have never heard of the 'Demon Locking Pill' refined by Elder Mo Rou, and I have never seen most of the medicinal materials. However, Xiao I still know some of the medicinal materials and their habits and characteristics."
"For example, if I read it correctly, this last elixir should be 'Red Lotus Grass'."
Zhou Xing continued.
"Red lotus grass is red in color, has six leaves, and spreads out like a lotus. When mature, a winding red line will appear from the root. Its function is to condense the spiritual power of heaven and earth and emit a fragrance. , has a fatal attraction to monsters."
"However, this red lotus grass has a special effect that is not recorded in the book, that is, the heat for refining the red lotus grass should not be too high, otherwise. The red lotus liquid will evaporate, producing an extremely violent substance, and the furnace explosion rate will increase to 100%."
"That's it."
Mo Rou. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she nodded. Based on her years of experience, she could tell that Zhou Xing was not talking nonsense. Besides, she would have to refine it later, and she would know if it was true or false.
However, she looked at Zhou Xing again and asked doubtfully: "How did you know?"
"Elder Qi, this was an accident for the disciple. I saw it in an extremely ancient book in the library."
Zhou Xing replied.
After hearing the elder's remarks in the medicine garden, Zhou Xing became interested and stayed in the library for several days just to inquire about the information about the "red lotus grass".
"Oh!"
Mo Rou nodded and signaled Zhou Xing to step back, she was going to refine the pill again.
Zhou XingQuickly retreat behind Wang Yuan.
At this time, Wang Yuan had already been shocked by Zhou Xing's knowledge. Although he was Elder Mo Rou's medicine boy and had extremely rich pharmacological knowledge, he was completely insignificant compared to Zhou Xing. ah.
