Chapter 291: Alchemy (1)
Ever since he returned to Heavenly Dao Mountain, Nok had been locking himself in the house, thinking about the trick of studying alchemy, and since the last incident happened, he felt very uneasy in his heart.
Su Conghua also saw what Nock was thinking, but he didn't say anything, and he had been taking care of his junior brother during this period.
And Xiaojie didn't bother Nock, because in his heart, Nock can be regarded as an omnipotent guy, except for things like heaven and earth, but in other things, it is indeed very reliable.
Nock sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind was full of what happened a few days ago, looking at the black boss lying on the ground, his shriveled appearance, like a dried corpse, lying quietly on the ground.
Thinking of this, Nock suddenly opened his eyes quietly and took a heavy breath, "Alas, it's still too difficult, the last time I refined Brother Shen's weapon, it was just a coincidence, this time without the weapon storage box, it was ...... at all"
However, as Nock's mentor Lily of the Valley, she is busy these days, and she can't take care of Nock and them at all?
"Well, I said, Nock, what's going on? I've been absent-minded all day since I came back with you, and I've been locking myself in the house all day, and I haven't come out all day, what the hell is going on?"
In fact, Su Conghua didn't want to tell Lily of the Valley what happened at that time, you must know that with Lily of the Valley's temper, after knowing this kind of thing, it won't be a pot, although this black boss is not related to them, but after all, he is also a cultivator, and he is also a good man who fights with the demons and demons.
"Don't think about it, I feel that Nock should be too tired! Take advantage of the fact that the world is peaceful these days, and you have to take a good rest for a few days, I said you! Don't think too much, but you, who have been busy these days, should also go and rest and rest! After all, you are tired, and your body is not good!"
Lily of the Valley sighed, "Just a few of you, none of them make me worry, those two little guys in the Yichen family are simply too noisy, this is much more difficult to manage than Noke and them, this can't be held, it can't be hugged, I can't do it, I still can't do it, or I will hand over the arduous task to Shen Yichen and the two of them in the future!"
Su Conghua looked at the back of the tired lily of the valley leaving, and was also very worried in her heart, and said silently: "I didn't expect this strong woman from Tiandao Mountain to be stumped by two children, hahaha!"
A breeze blew quietly, through the window, blowing Nock's clothes, and at this time, Nock's hands were clasped in front of him, his fingers crossed, as if he was thinking about something.
"What can I do about this? Is it going to stop there? I just boasted that I wanted to refine the elixir to benefit the entire human race, but I didn't expect that after a few days, there was still no improvement at all. ”
To be honest, Nock is really in a hurry, even if it is a normal exam, encountering very difficult questions, three or four days, how to go on is more or less progressive.
It can be seen from Nock's hair that this time he is really in trouble, Nock's hair has obviously been upturned and split ends, and one by one, the hairs are erected as if they have absorbed static electricity.
Xiao Jie, who was hiding at the door and watching, saw Nock's appearance from the window, and also felt that this matter was not simple, after all, refining the pill was not trivial, it was not trivial, it was different from refining weapons, the pill was to be taken orally, and when it entered the human body, there would be some side effects more or less.
At that time, Nock also noticed that there was someone outside the door, and then slowly stood up and said, "Xiaojie, is it you?"
"Hehe, isn't there anyone else I have? At this time, these people must be busy with this holiday business, day by day, and there is no idle time, but who is my Xiaojie? I don't bother to do this kind of thing, so don't I come to see you?"
Nock hurriedly opened the door and pulled Xiao Jie in, at this time Xiao Jie saw clearly, Nock's appearance at this time, the robe on his body was dirty, it was no longer the same, and he looked very decadent all over his body, his eyes had already appeared, big dark circles under his eyes, like a giant panda, his beard was unshaven, and he was clearly like a greasy uncle.
"I said, what's wrong with you? Look at your current appearance, you don't look like a little fresh meat of our age at all, but like a greasy uncle who has entered middle age. As he spoke, he took out a small mirror from his cuff and handed it to Nock.
Nock took the mirror and looked carefully at his face, indeed, his face had lost weight several times, the bags under his eyes were still very loose, big dark circles appeared on the mirror, and his beard was unkempt.
Nock sighed, "Alas, there is no way, these few days have been really wasted, I can't think of the trick of this alchemy? Not to mention the trick, I still can't figure it out, how to refine these pills?"
Xiaojie put the lunch box in his hand on the table and said: "You, you have always admitted to death, when you were in school, you were like this, when you encountered a very difficult problem, you would try your best to solve the problem, but often you have fallen into the blind spot, and you will only go deeper and deeper in the blind spot, so as to stay away from the right path." ”
Nock also knew what Xiao Jie wanted to say, but now his physical strength was obviously no longer able to support it, and in the past few days, Nock had not eaten at all, as if he was in retreat and cultivating, isolated from the world.
"I said Nock, you don't take your body seriously, alchemy is important, but your body is the most important, as long as you don't have the strength, what kind of alchemy can you take?"
"I'm here is the secret package that Uncle Su brought you, to be honest, I'm drooling a little, seriously, I want to lock myself in the house, tell them that I am cultivating, come and prostitute Uncle Su's real secret package?"
Nock shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly only heard his stomach scream, and then he felt that his body could no longer support it.
"Okay, okay, I also know that it's not easy for you these days, come on, come on, hurry up and eat something, replenish your strength, and my task is to watch you eat all these things, and then I can sneak away, haha!"
Nock didn't have the heart to pay attention to what Xiao Jie said at this time, if it was in normal times, he would have gone long ago to supervise Xiao Jie, so why can't he be lazy? But he doesn't have the physical strength to take care of these things now, and the most important thing is to refine these pills.
Nock opened the lunch box, and suddenly his eyes were full of stars, the food in this lunch box was simply too tempting, Babao duck, golden and crispy duck skin, a mouthful full of oil, Nock really couldn't help it, he directly picked up the whole duck, and gnawed it down.
Xiaojie said that this is the first time he has seen Nock eat like this, "Slow down, slow down, no one will rob you, there is still water, don't choke." ”
At this time, Nock didn't have the heart to speak at all, just gobbling it up, for fear that someone would rob him of his food.
In a moment, all that remained on the table was the remains of the duck, and empty plates and bowls, large and small.
"...... Separation"
Nock came out with a satisfied expression and said with a grin, "Ah! so satisfied, I haven't eaten so full in a long time." ”
Now Xiaojie is still indulging in Nock's eating just now, and his eating appearance is not inferior to himself at all! Looking at this trend, he may soon be able to surpass himself! He has an opponent.
"Oh, Xiaojie, what do you want?" Nock looked at Xiaojie as he was getting it on the table and was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Ahh ”
"Haha, I can't help it! I was so hungry just now, so I was a little ...... eating."
"By the way, what have you come up with these days? You weren't lying to me before, were you? Don't you have any ideas these days?"
Nok sighed again, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, or I think it's too simple, refining pills and refining weapons are not at the same level at all, I've tried all kinds of methods in the past few days, but there is still no effect." ”
As he spoke, Nock's eyes glanced over the bottles and jars on the bed.
Xiaojie also saw that the bed was covered with all kinds of small bottles, so he walked over, picked up a bottle, smelled it, and said, "Well, what is this smell? Why is it so weird?"
After speaking, Xiao Jie poured out of this bottle, a small black pill, "Nock, are these all failures?"
"No, it's all failures, all of this is too simple for me to think, it's a complete waste of a bunch of precious medicinal materials, it's just extravagant and wasteful!"
Xiao Jie looked at Nock's scattered black hair and emaciated face, and couldn't help but comfort: "It's okay, it's okay, I have a lot of money here, I want to get some precious medicinal materials, it's not simple, you, don't think about some mess, concentrate on studying your elixir, I think with your smart brain, these things will definitely succeed, you have to believe in yourself, after all, you also refined a very powerful weapon at that time, this is obvious to all, you have this ability, I believe in you." ”
It was this simple sentence that instantly regained Nock's confidence, Nock stared at Xiaojie deadly, and nodded heavily, "Okay, this time I will definitely succeed, I don't believe it, I must change the fate of the human race, I can't let these human races be harmed by those hateful merchants of the Western Regions again, one day, I will definitely eradicate them completely." ”
"Okay, that's what you want, I won't bother you, I'll come back in the evening to bring you food, come on! ”
