Shali slept for a long time, until he woke up before the end of the day.

"Didn't I practice in the practice room, how did I sleep in my own bed?" Sha Li stared at the light blue gauze tent and whispered, slowly getting up.

Just as he took a step, his body was light, and he almost fell forward.

"What's going on? Your body is so light? Could it be that your cultivation has exhausted your physical strength? By the way, your vitality!"

He subconsciously wanted to inspect the situation in his body, but he didn't find anything different.

"I can't feel where the vitality is. Could it be that I woke up the wrong way?" said Sha Li, pinching his chin.

"Squeak, squeak......"

"Strange thing, I never hear birds in this room. ”

"Let's go find Kaifeng first, I still have a lot of doubts to ask her. ”

Sha Li searched the entire courtyard but did not find any trace of Kaifeng, so he went to the pharmacy to find Xue Qi to inquire.

During this time, Sha Li already knew that Xue Qi was the number one doctor on Qiyuan Island, and he was known as a miracle doctor. The reason why he was able to recover so quickly was all due to Xue Qi's medical skills.

According to Kaifeng, Xue Qi was not only the first divine doctor, but also the first beauty on the island when she was young, until Kaifeng's mother grew up. At that time, the people who came to ask relatives stepped through the threshold of the courtyard, and the gift-giving team could circle around Qiyuan Island. Sha Li was very surprised when she heard it at first glance, according to Xue Qi's current appearance, it was hard to imagine her demeanor as the first beauty thirty years ago.

Xue Qi's medical skills are exquisite, and he does not treat diseases. For the Yuan, she is immortal and does not heal, nor does she say that she can save the dead, but as long as there is a breath left, she can basically save you. The rest of the Yuan people are injured, and she usually doesn't make a move, so let them go to find other doctors on the island. But for the mortal islanders, Xue Qi is willing to treat, no matter how big or small the illness is, as long as he finds the door, he will cure. As for the reason, Kai Feng told him that Xue Qi believes that the vitality of the Yuan is strong, and the lifespan is relatively long, as long as it is not near death or terminal illness, it will always heal itself. Mortals, however, are short, vulnerable, and often relatively helpless.

Sha Li didn't find Xue Qi in the room filled with the strong medicinal fragrance, "Mother-in-law?"

Crunch......

A secret door slowly opened on the side of the medicine cabinet, "Come in." Xue Qi's voice came from inside the secret door.

Sha Li walked through the door, and a scorching wave rushed towards him. Sha Li looked for the heat source, only to see a three-legged round furnace standing in the middle of the room. The round furnace is about the size of a person, and there are three places where the furnace body is transparent, and it is made of some kind of spar, which can be used by the user to inspect the changes in the furnace. The lid is fastened to the stove, and the top of the lid is engraved with a small beast to lift the lid.

I saw that the little beast was snow-white, with three tails and horns on the top of its head, first straight and then bent. Sha Li seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

"This is a medicine beast. Xue Qi's voice came.

"Medicine beast?" Sha Li remembered an ancient book he had read when he woke up, "The Chronicles of the Mountains and Seas", which was recorded: Yinglai Mountain, the grass and trees are flourishing, and there are many strange fragrances. It's weird. There is a beast, its shape is like a snow leopard, three tails and one horn, and its sound is like hitting a stone. People have diseases and say it, beasts are like deep valleys, a grass returns, pound the juice and take it to heal, its name is medicine.

"Mother-in-law, what are you ......?"

"Alchemy. Xue Qi sat on a futon not far from the round furnace, his eyelids drooping, as if he was sleepy.

"Alchemy?just use, this, stove?" Sha Li wanted to say the strange stove.

"This is a medicine furnace, made of deep-sea cold iron, which melts the unique red chromium, cobalt, and blue nickel of my Qiyuan Island, and cannot be melted by fire. The medicine stone is smelted inside, and it can also be used to prevent strong heat. ”

"No wonder I didn't find it unapproachable. Sha Li looked at the churning flames in the furnace through the spar mirror, and was momentarily relieved. "Mother-in-law, is there anything combustible in the stove? ”

"No, there's only raw medicine stone in the furnace. The fire you see is my fire. ”

"Yuan Huo?" Sha Li only found out at this time that Xue Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, was holding a magic seal in his fingers.

"I heard Kaifeng say that she has taught you the method of cultivating the Yuan and building the foundation, and you have successfully gathered Qi to become a Yuan. You can see it when you gather your vitality in your eyes. ”

"But," Sha Li hesitated for a moment, "I don't seem to be able to perceive the existence of vitality. ”

Xue Qi slowly opened his eyes, "Can't you perceive it, you haven't entered the realm of Kaiyuan yet, and your vitality can't exist in the Nine Palaces, it can only be scattered around your body." You have learned to look inward, and if you have a high degree of concentration of your consciousness somewhere in your body, you will be able to find out where your vital energy is. ”

According to Xue Qi's words, Sha Li gathered his divine sense in his palm, and he soon found translucent spheres densely spread all over his palm, "This is?" He continued to probe his divine sense, and finally saw the true face of this sphere. The translucent membrane encloses tiny nuclei and is filled with a viscous liquid. Some of the liquid emits a shimmer of color, red, cyan, golden, brown, of which red and cyan are darker, gold is second, and brown is the lightest. However, with the current strength of Shali's divine consciousness, he naturally couldn't discern it carefully.

"Mother-in-law, is this?"

"What you see in the spheroids, named, cells. The cells on the body of a living thing are called living cells, and there are cells on the body of a dead thing, which are called dead cells. Xue Qi's tone was not slow or hurried.

"The light you see in the cell is the vitality. The cells that attach the vitality are also called the cells of the yuan. Those who cultivate the Yuan, before entering the realm of Kaiyuan, will not enter the Nine Palaces, and will be scattered in the rest of the body. In other words, only by cultivating the Yuan cells outside the Nine Palaces can the Yuan Qi be stored in the Nine Palaces. What is the state of your cell now?"

"Only a small part. ”

Sha Li didn't fully know the situation of his own Yuan, and the great movement caused by the first time he gathered Qi to become a Yuan had generated more Yuan Qi than many times his number. However, the amount of ether in its body itself is very comparable to that of humans, and the purity of the final generated element is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the amount is naturally less.

"Oh?" Xue Qi was a little surprised, after all, as Kai Feng said, the amount of vitality that Sha Li had cultivated for the first time should be very considerable. "It's okay, just practice more in the future. Now try to focus your energy in your eyes. ”

Sha Li did as he was told. "Mother-in-law, what is your hand?"

He saw two red threads in the room lying across the air, one end connected to the medicine stove, and the other end connected, Xue Qi's index fingers of both hands.

"Kai Feng may have mentioned to you that the Yuan Person's own vitality carries the attributes of the Five Elements. ”

"Yes, Kaifeng mentioned to me that she is the Five Elements Partial Water, and Mother-in-law, you are the Five Elements Partial Wood. Shali quickly remembered.

"Actually, my vitality is a dual attribute, in addition to the wood element, there is also the fire element. The fire you see is my fire. ”

"Possessing wood and fire energy is a prerequisite for becoming an alchemist. ”

"Alchemist, mother-in-law, are you an alchemist?"

"Not bad. Different from the mortal alchemist, the alchemist of the Yuan is also known as the Yuan Danshi. The Yuan Dan refined by Yuan Qi can not only heal injuries and diseases, but also assist in cultivating Yuan. In addition, Yuan Dan has a variety of uses. ”

"Shali, come here, sit here. Sha Li was listening carefully to Xue Qi's explanation, and he didn't understand why she let herself go coldly, but he still sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Xue Qi, with a small wooden coffee table between the two. I saw Xue Qi stretch out his palm, and five transparent colored brocade stones appeared on it out of thin air, and Sha Li's expression was obviously stunned.

"The Yuan cultivates to a certain extent, and can open up a void space within the Nine Palaces for storage. Depending on the cultivation of the element, the amount of space that can be opened up is also different. These few brocade stones are called Yuan Stones, which can be used to screen the Yuan Qi attributes. ”

"Jinshi, can you still use it like this? I have only seen the Hongyin of Kaifeng, and I privately think it is just a sound transmission device. Sha Li's face was stunned.

"It seems that Kaifeng didn't mention Jinshi to you, no wonder, after all, you don't need it now. The ether is life in man, beast, and grass. Stored in jade, it can gather the five elements, bind yin and yang, and gradually derive vitality over the long years. Jinshi is one of them, also known as Yuanshi. ”

"Hongyin is just one of the functions of Jinshi, and Jinshi will also be used for lighting and alchemy. Depending on the amount of vitality it contains, the preciousness of the stone is also different. You gather your vitality in the palm of your hand and hang it above each stone. ”

Although there were still many puzzles, Sha Li still did as he was told. I saw that when he hung his palms one by one on the various colored brocade stones, the red brocade stone emitted the strongest red light, although the cyan brocade stone was not as good as the red, but it was bright enough, the yellow brocade stone was second, the brown brocade stone was again, and the blue brocade stone basically had no reaction.

As Sha Li tested the brocade stone one by one, Xue Qi was just leisurely at first, and expressed his appreciation for the brilliance of the cyan brocade stone. But as the test progressed, his expression gradually turned to surprise, and finally to complete horror.

"This, what's going on, how can this happen?"

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Sha Li was also confused by Xue Qi's sudden shock.

"Well, nothing. It's just that I didn't expect your vitality to have such a strong fire attribute and wood attribute, but it is somewhat similar to mine. Xue Qi felt out of shape, but soon became horrified. Although his face was calm, his heart was turbulent.

"Shali, I want you to promise me one thing. Xue Qi stared at Sha Li very solemnly.

"Mother-in-law, if you say anything, I will promise you. "Sha Li's life was saved by Xue Qi, and he was able to recover so quickly during this period of time, thanks to his superb medical care. She and Kaifeng are both the most important people in this world, even if they give up their lives for them. Of course, they wouldn't.

"If you are not the closest and most trusted person, don't let others test your vitality attributes. Xue Qi's face was full of unquestionable expressions.

"Okay!" Sha Li didn't hesitate, and didn't ask why. Because he knew that Xue Qi would definitely not harm him.

"That's fine. Xue Qi didn't expect Sha Li to agree so simply, and he didn't even ask the reason, and he liked him a little more in his heart. "Would you like to worship me as a teacher? ”

"Worship your mother-in-law as a teacher?"

"Sha Li, hurry up and promise Grandma!"

The familiar sounds of heaven floated in his ears, and Sha Li didn't even think about who had arrived. As soon as he turned around, sure enough, a light blue figure stood outside the door, and a swarthy man stood beside him.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You can worship Grandma as a teacher, which is a blessing that has been saved for several lifetimes. The girl said as she walked, with both relief and envy on her face.

"Yes, Brother Sha, Divine Doctor Xue is not only the first divine doctor of Qiyuan Island, but also the most outstanding alchemy master in the history of Qiyuan Island. No matter how many people spend a lot of money, it is difficult to ask her for a Yuan Dan, and how many people want to worship under her door. It's good that you actually got a different look from the miracle doctor. His eyes were full of envy, harmony, and jealousy.

"Kaifeng's vitality does not have wood qi in it, and it is not suitable for studying medicine and alchemy, which is a big regret of mine. Now, I finally have a chance to get what I wanted, hehe. Xue Qi's face was slightly slight, her smile was not common even if it was Kaifeng.

"Grandma is eccentric......!" Kaifeng playfully spit out the tip of his pink tongue to Xue Qi, although his face was dissatisfied, but his heart was inexplicably happy. She looked at Xue Qi and glanced at Sha Li again, her face flushed slightly.

"How can the younger generation be so loved by his mother-in-law. In the future, I must be diligent and diligent, study the medical science and Dandao, and ask my mother-in-law to work hard and ask her to face her life. ”

Xue Qi looked at Sha Li, smiled and nodded, very pleased.

"Brother Sha, where did you learn these words? I remember Kaifeng himself would never speak like this. Zhi Yu said stupidly, staring at Sha Li.

"Zhi, I've told you, don't just care about cultivation and greed, read more books when you have time. Kaifeng smiled and joked, "And Sha Li, you have to change your words after apprenticeship, don't be a mother-in-law, you should call Master." As for the apprenticeship ceremony, although Grandma doesn't like these red tape, it is also a big deal for Doctor Xue to accept apprentices, let's pick a day and do a formal apprenticeship ceremony, just a few of us are present. Kaifeng turned his head, "And you and Rosso, Zhi. ”

"This girl, really, yes. Xue Qi did not object.

"Kaifeng, is there anything urgent for you and Zhi Yu to go out early in the morning? ”

"There is bad news, and good news!"
