Chapter 12: The Alchemist
When Shen Yu walked to the door, he was still muttering in a low voice: "Sister Yanzhu is really, she can really hide it, and she has hidden it from me to this day." But... What does her husband look like?"
He only felt itching in his heart, since he knew that Nan Yanzhu had a fiancΓ©, he had always wanted to see him. But Nan Yan Zhuzang's place of death just refused to let him see it. This also made his curiosity infinitely magnified, and several times he almost couldn't resist sending someone to investigate. It's just that out of respect for Nan Yanzhu, he still held back.
Shen Yuan, who was on the side, saw Shen Yu and greeted him directly, "Second brother, you are too slow, I have been waiting for you for a long time." β
"I chatted with Sister Yanzhu for a while just now, so I was late. Shen Yu smiled and boarded a beast cart engraved with a four-foot long sword pattern.
This pattern is the family crest of the Shen family.
The cart was pulled by a strange beast, it was about three meters tall, with the body of a horse, but it had fur, and the fur was brown leopard prints, and it was very strong.
This strange beast is called the Wind Stepping Beast, and when it runs, it will have four hooves and wind in its veins, and its speed is extremely fast, comparable to that of a spirit-level cultivator.
Because of its high endurance, fast speed, and gentle temperament, the Wind Rider is specially used to pull a cart after being tamed. However, the Wind Beast is not very common, in the Golden Cloud Country, in addition to equipping some officials, only some families will spend a lot of money to buy this beast.
Shen Yuan also boarded the beast cart and said curiously: "Sister Yanzhu, what are you talking about? What about her?"
"Sister Yanzhu is getting married......"
As the two brothers got into the car, a guard drove the beast cart to a quiet courtyard.
This small courtyard is very remote, and there are no people around, it is very quiet. At this time, the gate of the small courtyard was closed, and bursts of strong medicinal fragrance were constantly emanating from the small courtyard.
After the two brothers Shen Yu and Shen Yuan got out of the car, they didn't even knock on the door, they pushed the door directly and walked in, as casual as going home.
"Grandpa Lun, we're here!" Shen Yuan shouted loudly and walked into a room.
"Stinky boy, I'm not deaf old man, why are you shouting so loudly. A laugh and curse rang out.
It was an old man who was sitting at a table with rows of medicine cabinets behind him.
The old man was of medium height, with a slight wrinkle on his face, a bit of vicissitudes in his peaceful eyes, and no sign of gray hair.
His name was Lun Hao, and he was the only fifth-order sect-level alchemist in the Imperial Demon City.
And he is also a good friend of Shen Yu's grandfather and Shen Xiu's godfather.
When Shen Yu's grandfather died, Shen Xiu was only five years old, Shen Hai had just learned to walk, and Shen Sanfat was even more born. So, Lun Hao temporarily stayed in Shen's house, and did not leave Shen's house until Shen Xiu had the ability to take care of himself.
"Hehe, the louder it is, the more I miss you. Shen Yuan smiled cheaply and sat down on the chair next to him.
Shen Yu also came to sit down in front of the chair opposite Lun Hao, and said hello with a smile.
"Hello Grandpa Lun. β
Lun Hao immediately became extremely kind, and said in a very soft voice: "Good grandson, give me your hand." β
Shen Yuan: "......"
There is a reason why Lun Hao's attitude towards Shen Yu and Shen Yuan is different. Shen Yuda was very sensible and precocious since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been able to start handling family affairs at the age of twelve. Coupled with his physique, the people around him feel very sorry for him, so Lun Hao's attitude is very kind.
And Shen Yuan is just the opposite of Shen Yu, this is a master who will never change no matter how he fights and how he teaches a lesson. In front of Shen Sha, he was more restrained, but if Shen Sha was not around, no one would be able to control the wild horses that were free from the reins.
However, although Shen Yuan is unreliable, there is a good thing, that is, he is not as stubborn as Shen Sanfat. At most, it's a little bit of a mistake, and what is done is a little unexpected, but not excessive.
In any case, the love of the elders for the younger generations is the same, but the expression is different.
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows at Shen Yuan, as if to say: Let you be skinny!
Shen Yuan grimaced and fought back.
Then, Lun Hao put his hand on Shen Yu's wrist. In an instant, a soft orange-red vitality flowed out from Lun Hao's fingertips, enveloping Shen Yu's body.
Alchemist is a very rare and noble profession in the Shenghua Continent, and his status is equivalent to that of a forger.
Becoming an alchemist is very demanding, not only in terms of concentration and patience, but also in terms of having a strong control over the vitality.
Only when these requirements are met, can the essence of the herbs be extracted with mild vitality, and the impurities inside can be removed, so as to maximize the value of the herbs.
Every alchemist is a doctor, and the higher the level of the alchemist, the more experience he has in curing diseases. The control of vitality, the understanding of pharmacology, and the understanding of the human body are much beyond ordinary people.
Shen Yu's meridians were not only unable to cultivate, but his body would become stiff every once in a while, which was also caused by the blockage of the meridians.
And Lun Hao has been cultivating Shen Yu's meridians for eighteen years, but as a sect-level alchemist, he is helpless against Shen Yu's meridians. You can only use Yuan Wen to nourish Shen Yu's meridians on time, so that his body is no longer stiff.
Shen Yu was physically and mentally comfortable at this time, and every time his meridians were warmed, he would feel very comfortable, as if his body was a little lighter.
Shen Yuan looked envious and muttered in a low voice: "Second brother looks like it's very refreshing every time he warms his meridians, I have also found someone to warm up before, why don't I feel it?"
After a while, Lun Hao withdrew the vitality that wrapped Shen Yu's body.
"Alright. β
Shen Yu stretched out very unimpressively, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Lun." β
Lun Hao said angrily: "Fuck off, you stinky boy say thank you to me." β
Shen Yu smiled, "There should still be etiquette." β
As if remembering something, he continued: "By the way, tomorrow is my coming-of-age ceremony, why don't you go back to the house with us for one night?"
Lun Hao shook his head, "No, my medicine hasn't been refined yet." β
A little pity appeared on Shen Yu's face, "Okay, I'm still thinking about having two drinks with you tonight." β
"Haha, you kid have learned to drink?" Lun Hao laughed, and sighed again: "I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you and Erpi have grown so big." β
Hearing this, Shen Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Lun Hao has studied medicine all his life, and he has not even married a wife, so he has no offspring. And he is not only Shen Xiu's godfather, Shen Yu also lived with Lun Hao for a period of time because of meridian problems when he was a child. The relationship between the two is undoubtedly with their grandfather and grandson.
Including Shen Yu's pharmacological knowledge, he learned it from Lun Hao.
The atmosphere suddenly became dull, Shen Yuan couldn't stand this atmosphere the most, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lun, I haven't seen you change for so many years, and you're still so young." β
"Haha, that's because I have a good way of rejuvenating her face! Your mother also asked me to help her refine beauty medicine. Lun Hao said proudly, and then said to Shen Yu: "Tomorrow I will try your alcohol well, it's not too early, you go back and rest early." Raise your spirits, tomorrow you kid will be busy. β
Lun Hao's words are true, the Shen family has always been kind, and there are many families and casual cultivators who are good friends with it, and tomorrow will definitely be a scene full of guests and gathering together.
Shen Yu smiled bitterly, he had never liked these tedious things. But what can he do? In the Shenghua Continent, the four major joyful events in life, adulthood, marriage, childbirth, and cultivation advancement, are inevitable for anyone.
Then, Shen Yu got up and saluted Lun Hao with Shen Yuan, "Grandpa Lun, then we'll go back first." β
Lun Hao waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, I still want to refine medicine, so I won't give it to you." β
"Look at what you said, how dare we let you send it! Shen Yuan said with a hippie smile.
Then, without further ado, the two brothers turned and left the room.
Lun Hao took out a few herbs from the medicine cabinet behind him, and a little loneliness appeared in his eyes.
"Alas... I don't know if the new prescription I got this time can have an effect on Xiao Yu's meridians......"
......
On the beast cart.
Shen Yuan's face was full of distress at this time, "Second brother, what kind of wedding gift do you think I should give Sister Yanzhu a better gift?" β
Seeing that Shen Yuan even called his second brother, Shen Yu... Still indifferent.
"Think for yourself. β
Shen Yuan suddenly became even more distressed, Shen Yu suddenly remembered something, and said helplessly: "You also help the eldest brother think about it by the way, if you let him send it, he will definitely give the money directly." β
Knowing Shen Sha's character, Shen Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded.
Then, he said very angrily: "The third uncle is so cunning that he secretly followed." I wanted to follow, but my eldest brother didn't take me. I get angry when I think about it!"
Hearing this, Shen Yu was also a little crying and laughing.
After Shen Sha went to the national capital to deliver weapons, Shen Sanpang left a letter and disappeared at home.
The letter said that he realized his mistake and wanted to contribute to his family, so in order to lead the way for Shen Sha, he followed Shen Sha to the national capital.
The point is that everyone knows that Shen Sha will definitely not take Shen Sanpang there. There is no doubt that Shen Sanpang followed secretly.
The funny thing is that Shen Sanpang was beaten by Shen Xiu the day before, and he couldn't even get out of bed, thinking that he must have secretly let people carry him into the beast cart.
As for the reason why Shen Sanpang had to go with him, everyone was like a mirror in their hearts.
It must be for Lin Ruoli to find that monarch-level forging master to help him build a dice cup!
At that time, everyone was angry and laughing. Still leading the way? Shen Cha is not unattended, and he won't find excuses.
Shen Xiu couldn't hold back, and rushed out directly to arrest Shen Sanpang, but fortunately he was stopped by Shen Yu, and said that Shen Sanpang's plan would not succeed, so Shen Xiu gave up.
After complaining a few words about Shen Sanfat, Shen Yuan suddenly remembered something, and said curiously: "Second brother, at lunch today, my mother said that I would give you a surprise tomorrow, guess what?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "I can't guess either." β
In fact, he himself was also very curious, when he said this at noon today, Lin Chu's face was mysterious, and the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and Shen Xiu seemed to be very excited on the side. But no matter how he asked, the couple just didn't let go of their mouths, and they didn't even give a hint.
Besides, he was the one who received the gift, why were the two of them so happy?
Shen Yuan's curiosity skyrocketed, and just as he wanted to say something, a voice came from outside the beast cart.
"Two less, three less, we're home. β
......
As soon as the two brothers walked to the front of the mansion, the guard at the gate looked into the mansion and whispered: "Second Shao, someone came to the mansion just now, and he asked to see the head of the house." β
"Someone's coming?"
"The man was wearing a mask, and we didn't know him. But the man's momentum was so strong that I didn't dare to look at him. β
Shen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, "What is he here for?"
"No, he didn't say anything. The guard shook his head.
"Where did my father take that man?"
"I saw the head of the house leading him in the direction of the parlor. β
"yes, I see. Shen Yu said a word and stepped into the mansion.
However, just a few steps into the mansion, Shen Yu's face suddenly changed slightly.
It's so quiet!
Moreover, why can't you even see a figure?
Looking at Shen Yu, who suddenly stopped in front of him, Shen Yuan said strangely: "Second brother, you ......"
Shen Yu hurriedly made a "silenced" mouth, and Shen Yuan immediately swallowed the unfinished words into his stomach.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yu knocked on the pillar again, three fast and three slow, and the hidden guards of the Shen Mansion did not come out.
Shen Yu's heart sank, and Shen Yuan also realized that something was wrong, and instantly became vigilant.
Shen Yu made another gesture, and the guards understood, and instantly pulled out the weapon on his waist.
In an instant, the golden vitality of the Dao Dao surged.
At the same time, the backs of the guards' hands showed a pattern identical to the weapon in their hands, except that the pattern was golden.
The next moment, these patterns swam from the back of their hands to the weapons in their hands.
Suddenly, all the weapons were golden!
The golden vitality showed that these guards were third-order spirit level cultivators. And the pattern on the back of the hand is their natal soldier.
The fusion of the natal element soldier and the weapon is the signature skill of the Imperial Spirit level cultivator, the fusion of soldiers.
At the same time, Shen Yu gave Shen Yuan a gesture to let him leave.
Shen Yuan was willing to go, his eyes closed slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, a golden streamer slowly flowed in his eyes.
