3 Alchemy

The next day.

It was still dark, and Ye Xiu had already gotten up.

I went to the roof of the courtyard to practice. Ever since he discovered the secret of the Wordless Heavenly Book, he got up early every morning and went to the roof to practice.

On the roof is a futon, which is made of thatch grown in the west of the town, and it is said that it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the spirit.

Ye Xiu sat on the futon, concentrating and calming, running Zhou Tian, and cultivating internal strength.

After a while, the sun came out, the golden sunlight shone on his face, and the internal power operation also reached a critical time.

As the sun came out, he ran Zhou Tian a little faster, and a trace of golden light suddenly increased in the internal force, and the purity of the internal force increased a lot.

After the sun is fully out.

After a morning of cultivation, he came down from the roof.

"Xiaoqing, morning. โ€

After Ye Xiu came down, he found that his little sister Ye Qing had already gotten up. He walked into the kitchen, watched his little sister busy, leaned over and asked.

"Xiaoqing, what is delicious, so fragrant?"

Ye Qing is twelve years old this year, and she is about to be thirteen, and since she was seven years old, she has been in charge of housework and cooking.

Now that he has cooked a good meal, as for his mother, he has never seen it since Ye Xiu came to this world, and he has not heard his father mention it.

Every time his sister asked him about it, his father Ye Wu would be silent and not say a word. Then there was silence for several days, and after a few times, Ye Xiu and his sister Ye Qing stopped asking.

"Big brother, millet porridge, steamed buns, cucumbers, and sauce meat. โ€

Ye Qing boiled a large pot of millet porridge, steamed five or six large steamed buns, and took out a piece of more than three catties of sauce meat from the pot.

Both of the Ye family are martial arts practitioners, and their physical consumption is relatively large, and they eat a lot, so in addition to millet porridge and steamed buns, they also need high-calorie meat.

Ye Qing is a piece of sauce meat of about three catties, cut it into thin slices, put it in the steamer, steam it for 20 minutes, after the meat is fragrant, take the onion and garlic and cut it into minced pieces, pour vinegar and sesame oil into it, make it into a sauce, and pour it into the sauce meat that is steaming and the meat is fragrant.

After breakfast, Ye Xiu came to the fur buying shop in the dark town.

He plans to sell the tiger skin, but now the family doesn't have much money, and his father needs money to buy medicine for leg pain every month because of his previous problems, and he plans to refine the Tiger Pill and needs money to buy medicinal materials and Dan furnaces.

It also takes money to support the expenses of the family.

He carried tiger skins into the shop, the largest of the dark towns, where hunters harvest their prey and trade their furs.

Ye Xiu walked in and put the tiger skin on the counter.

The shopkeeper stood opposite Ye Xiu, his right hand was casually calculating, his eyes raised and glanced at Ye Xiu and the tiger skin, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, he knew the trick of lowering the price.

"Inferior tiger skin, ten gold coins. โ€

Ye Xiu turned the tiger skin open, the soft and shiny tiger skin radiated a beautiful light under the sun, Ye Xiu said.

"This is a fine tiger skin, thirty gold coins. โ€

"The tiger skin is not a big wound, this is one of the best tiger skins in the dark town this year, it is not worth this price. โ€

The shopkeeper glanced at Ye Xiu, he didn't expect that Ye Xiu was also an expert at a young age, but he was not so easy to succumb.

"Brother Ye, I'll take a step back, suffer a loss, and give you fifteen gold coins. โ€

"This year is different from previous years, the market is not good, the trading is not good, this year's leather prices are not high, that is, ten gold coins, I am looking at our past situation on the loss of acquisition. โ€

After speaking, the shopkeeper touched the tiger skin.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said.

"Twenty-five. โ€

"I take a step back, if it's less, I won't sell. โ€

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€

Ye Xiu bargained fiercely with the shopkeeper in the fur shop, and in the end, this tiger skin was sold by Ye Xiu to the fur shop for twenty-three pieces.

After coming out of the fur shop, Ye Xiu came to Li Ji Pharmacy.

The shopkeeper of Li Ji Pharmacy is a friend of Ye Wu, and he is usually very good to Ye Xiu.

Entering the pharmacy, there were people in twos and threes grabbing medicine, and two guys running up and down to get medicine, in the middle of the counter, standing tall, but looking a little thin middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a robe, and his thin right hand was placed on an old man's wrist to call the pulse, and when he was done, he carefully instructed the old man.

"Brother Qian, remember that the whole medicine is taken twice in the morning and evening, each time after meals, after taking it for seven days, you are coming to me for a visit, I will take a look at the situation and then determine the following medicine. โ€

"Xiao Li, how many times have you said it, I remember. โ€

Seeing that the other party was busy, Ye Xiu walked over and said.

"Uncle Li. โ€

Hearing Ye Xiu's name, Uncle Li turned his head, he was very happy to see Ye Xiu, looked Ye Xiu up and down, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Xiao Xiu is here, I heard that you hit a big tiger yesterday. โ€

"Are there any injuries?"

Ye Xiu said.

"I'm fine, Uncle Li. โ€

"Uncle Li, this is tiger meat, for you. โ€

Ye Xiu picked up a large piece of tiger meat in his right hand and handed it to Shopkeeper Li of the pharmacy. Over the years, Ye Wu was injured and Ye Qing was sick, and the other party helped their family a lot.

"Uncle Li, I need some medicinal herbs. โ€

After handing over the tiger meat, Ye Xiu then handed over a piece of paper, on which were written the medicinal materials for refining the Tiger Pill.

Shopkeeper Li glanced at the medicinal materials on it and found that it seemed to be a formula for practice, what it was, he didn't know, the proportion of each medicine was different, and the medicine prepared was not the same.

"Xiao Xiu, you sit down for a while, and I'll match you right away. โ€

After Shopkeeper Li finished speaking, he walked towards the medicine cabinet behind him and began to dispense medicine according to the prescription given by Ye Xiu. In a short time, the medicine was ready.

After buying the medicine, Ye Xiu went to the grocery store again and bought the simplest medicine pod for refining medicine, as well as some charcoal for refining medicine.

Cultivating as a person of advanced cultivation can refine medicine, and be able to use internal fire, true fire, and different fire. But Ye Xiu didn't have any of these, and he could only use the simplest method to refine the Tiger Pill, charcoal.

At the end of the trip, there were fifteen gold coins left from the sale of furs.

After returning home, Ye Xiu handed over the rest of the money to his father and said.

"Father, this is the money left over from the sale of tiger skins, twenty-three gold coins were sold, I used ten gold coins, and there are thirteen gold coins left, and I will hand them over to you. โ€

At this time, the little sister ran over, shook her head and looked at Ye Xiu mischievously with big black eyes and said.

"Big brother, did you buy me a gift?"

Ye Xiu handed the little sister a sugar gourd and a small silver hairpin.

"For you. โ€

The little sister took it happily, her eyes flashed, she looked at Ye Xiu and handed over the things, and said happily.

"Thank you, big brother. โ€

Seeing the little sister jumping out happily, Ye Xiu felt warm in his heart.

Because his father lost his left leg and his sister Ye Qing was sick all the year round, the Ye family's economic conditions were not very small, and when Ye Xiu was not alone, it could be said that they were poor.

It was still from Ye Xiu who started hunting, and slowly got better.

"You're going to refine medicine. โ€

Ye Wu looked at the things that Ye Qing bought, exuding a strong smell of medicine, he just didn't have to guess to know what Ye Xiu was carrying a lot of things.

"I saw a secret recipe from an ancient book, and I was going to try to refine it. โ€

Ye Xiu replied.

He didn't say anything about the wordless heavenly book, and the wordless heavenly book belonged to him something that no one mentioned. After all, this thing is so amazing, if it leaks out, I don't know how much disaster it will cause.

"Alchemy is a very dangerous thing, be careful about alchemy. Also, after practicing, it is best to find an animal to try it first, observe it for a few days, and eat it if it is not poisonous. โ€

"I have heard many pharmacists before who were poisoned by their own new medicines, especially in ancient books, both true and false. โ€

Ye Wu instructed Ye Xiu and said. He knew that Ye Xiu was a very thoughtful person, and once he made up his mind, even ten cows would not be able to pull it back.

But he must say it.

Ye Xiu nodded and said.

"Father, I know, I'll take notice. โ€
