75. Alchemy Association
The Alchemy Association is an organization between the magic world and the martial arts world, and there are both martial artists who cultivate their physique and those who study spells, but more often they are monks who are obsessed with the Dan Dao.
The Dao system on the earth is incomplete, and it has been handed down and divided into many factions, which are impermeable to each other, and the development of Dan Dao has been limited.
Until modern times, a master who claimed to be the king of Dan walked out of the deep mountains and old forests, founded the Alchemy Association by himself, and recruited many friends, abandoning the previous factions and cooperating with each other sincerely.
Within a few decades, the Dan Dao had developed rapidly, and the circulation of pills in the martial arts world had become common, even in the secular world, and some elixirs could occasionally be seen.
For example, the elixir that Qi Lao bought for 30 million yuan, although it has no special effects, it is full of vitality, and it is not a problem to prolong life for ten years.
"In the past, I thought that the Dan Dao on the earth was not in the stream at all, but now it seems that I am laughing at the heroes of the world. ”
Walking on the road, Chen Feng thought silently.
The appearance of that old man really surprised him, no matter whether what he said was true or not, but his methods could not deceive people, the quality of that elixir was enough to be called a second-grade elixir.
I just don't know, what is the identity of the old man, and what does it have to do with the Alchemy Association?
Thinking of this, Chen Feng shook his head, too lazy to think about this.
After some inquiry, Chen Feng learned that the Alchemy Association was not in the urban area of Jiangcheng, but an island in the middle of the Yangtze River.
That island is located in the heart of the river, the area is very large, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, like a paradise.
Half of the place has local residents, and if you are close to the mountains and forests, there will be a lot of fog. Obviously, this is also some kind of mist circle, which is used to restrict the entry and exit of outsiders.
When he met a kind-hearted villager to lead the way, he didn't dare to go further when he brought it to the foot of the mountain, and Chen Feng had to go on his own for the rest of the road.
"Broken. ”
Chen Feng took out the feng shui compass and recited the mantra silently, forming an invisible mana fluctuation around his body. The compass hands are also turning rapidly, constantly changing direction.
It didn't take long for Chen Feng to walk out of the mist array.
"The mist array here seems to be a bit low-level, and it is not as complex and changeable as the one on the other side of the cloud lake. ”
Chen Feng muttered.
After walking some distance along the mountain forest, I suddenly met a young man who was squatting under a tree, digging up the soil with a shovel, looking very hard.
"Excuse me... How is the Alchemy Association going?" Chen Feng stood behind and asked politely.
The young man was startled, turned abruptly, frowned, and said:
"You're from outside?"
"Hmm. Chen Feng nodded, "I'm here to learn alchemy techniques." ”
When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "You can say it simply, the alchemy of my Alchemy Association is unique in the world, do you think anyone can learn it?"
"Forget it, you will naturally understand when you get to the place, go over there!"
With that, the young man pointed in a direction, turned around and continued digging.
Chen Feng took a look when he passed by, and found that the young man had already dug more than three feet into the ground, and the old tree roots had been dug out, so he really didn't know what he was going to do.
That's not like that!
Out of curiosity, Chen Feng also wanted to get close to this guy, so he asked, "Big brother, what are you digging for?"
"Dig ginseng, can't you see it?" the young man gave him a blank look.
"This..."
Chen Feng couldn't help but touch his forehead, and said in a good voice: "I'm thinking, there won't be ginseng in this place, right?"
"You know a hammer!" the young man shook his head angrily, "The wild ginseng in the mountains has long been hollowed out by those bastards, and now they can't even touch a single hair in the past, so they can only try their luck at the foot of the mountain!"
"Okay, good luck!"
Chen Feng touched his nose, turned around and left.
He followed the direction pointed by the young man, all the way, and met many young people on the way, all of them had extraordinary temperaments, men and women, without exception, they were all digging diligently.
The huge mountains and forests are full of deep pits that have been dug out, and Chen Feng almost fell into it!
Next, he met even more bizarre people. It turns out that not only people dig ginseng, but also people who rummage over and over the cliffs to find Ganoderma lucidum, catch centipedes in the grass, and even go up to the trees to steal bird's nests.
"Look, there are several ostrich droppings in front, and the master said that goose droppings are also good medicine. Let's go get some!"
Hearing two people not far away, they were all excited expressions on their faces, as if they loved the industry of digging dung.
"What a bunch of NCs. Chen Feng shook his head.
After walking for about half an hour, when I climbed over a hill, I saw a girl standing in the open space in front of me. The girl was dressed in blue and white clothes, her hair was pulled high, she had a cold temperament, her eyes were lowered, and she looked at a bamboo leaf on the ground.
One person and one snake, I don't know how long the confrontation lasted.
"What are you doing here?
In this regard, Chen Feng was already surprised, and said from afar: "May I ask, how far is the Alchemy Association?"
The girl turned around and glanced at Chen Feng with beautiful eyes, as if a cold wind was coming from her face.
Immediately, she raised her hand and pointed higher up the mountainside.
I saw that on the mountainside in the distance, there are several buildings, all of which are built in modern style.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Chen Feng lowered his head to express his gratitude, turned around and strode forward.
At this time, a crisp voice came from behind:
"Wait a minute. ”
Chen Feng turned around, and saw that the cold girl was looking at him steadily, pursed his lips and said:
"Which master's disciple are you? Here is the snake gall bladder of Zhu Yeqing, which can be used to make medicine, do you want it?"
Chen Feng glanced at Zhu Yeqing and shook his head.
He had little interest in snake gall bladders.
As if sensing Chen Feng's attitude, the girl continued: "Now there are fewer and fewer bamboo leaves on the mountain, and I finally found two... Come here, one for each of us!"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need snake gall. ”
Just as he was about to leave, a girl's voice came from behind him:
"If you go out for a day and go back empty-handed, you will definitely be reprimanded by the master! I asked you to come over and get snake gall, and you will come over obediently!"
Chen Feng frowned, glanced up and down at the girl, and found that she was standing there prettyly, her face was a little pale, and her body was trembling slightly.
"Oh, I see. Chen Feng nodded, and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you afraid of snakes?"
"I'm not afraid!" replied coldly.
"Just say it if you're afraid, it's normal for girls to be afraid of snakes. Chen Feng shook his head and chuckled, strode over, picked up the two bamboo leaves on the ground casually, and easily took out the snake gall.
"Well, you can take it all, I don't need it. ”
The girl glanced at Chen Feng carefully, and a trace of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes: "I see that you are very fresh, you are not a disciple of the Alchemy Association, right?"
"I'm not. Chen Feng simply admitted, "I came here to learn alchemy techniques." ”
"You're coming to study at this time?"
When the girl heard this, she looked at Chen Feng with a neurotic look.
But still nodded:
"You come with me. ”
She didn't say anything all the way, took Chen Feng through the mountains and forests, and along the mountain road to the door of the Alchemy Association, and whispered a few words to the doorman.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter, you wait here, and when a Danshi comes to see you. ”
After saying this, the girl took the snake gall and walked away quickly.
After ten minutes or so, two people in long robes came out of it, one fat and one thin, and the fat man saw Chen Feng and said, "I heard that you came to learn from the teacher?"
"Hmm. Chen Feng nodded.
"Are there any letters of recommendation from the president?" asked the thin man.
Chen Feng shook his head.
"Without a letter of recommendation, what kind of teacher are you here to study?" said the fat man, frowning.
Chen Feng looked surprised: "Do you have to ask for a letter of recommendation?
As soon as these words came out, the two of them sneered at the same time.
"Will my alchemy association still be short of money? Refining a pill casually, the powerful people in the secular world will all break their scalps, especially those rich people, all of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, for a longevity pill, they don't feel sorry for all their family wealth!"
Chen Feng's brows furrowed.
At this time, the thin man suddenly put it in the fat man's ear, lowered his head and said a few words.
After hearing this, the fat man nodded and said, "What you said makes sense!"
He turned his head to look at Chen Feng and said with a smile: "You don't have a letter of recommendation, and if you want to come in to learn art, it's not impossible." But first, you have to pass a little test to prove yourself!"
