Chapter 42: Medicine City (2)
"What do you mean?" Ling Hao looked at the soldier who was holding him back.
"I'm sorry, there are rules here, and only one alchemist who comes to register can enter at a time. ”
Chu Muyu looked back at Ling Hao and Gege outside and said, "You guys just wait for me outside." ”
The room was simply furnished, with a long wooden table and a few chairs, and a few pots of green plants in the corner.
There was a man sleeping on his stomach at the long table.
"Hello, may I ask ......" Chu Muyu shouted in a tentative tone.
This person was woken up, and after stretching, he looked at Chu Muyu.
"Finally someone has come to register as an alchemist, come and ...... Sit down!"
Chu Muyu sat down and said, "Hello, I'm not here to register as an alchemist. ”
"What? You're not here to register as an alchemist, what are you doing here? Hey...... It's been more than half a year, and finally someone came, thinking it was an alchemist, but it turned out to be not. ”
"I'm here to inquire about a person, I don't know if my predecessors can be helped, this person is a senior alchemist, called Xu Shijie Xu Shijie. ”
"What? Senior Alchemist, do you say that I can tell you if you ask? You see, there are fewer and fewer people who comprehend alchemy skills, not to mention a senior alchemist, in case you have a plot against him...... No, no. ”
"Senior, you misunderstood, this person is an old friend of my uncle, I heard that he is in the medicine city this time, so come to visit, be sure to ask the senior to inform the residence!"
"Let's go, I can't reveal the residence of the high-level alchemists just by you alone, so how can their safety be guaranteed?"
"Look at this!"
Chu Muyu handed over the alchemist token.
"Ultimate Alchemist! I didn't expect you to be an ultimate alchemist at such a young age. ”
"The seniors have won the prize, and this token is a token from the uncle to me to find his old friend, and I hope that the seniors will be fulfilled. ”
"Hmm...... Since it is the matter of the ultimate alchemist, it is the matter of all the ordinary people in the medicine city, and I am very happy to help you. ”
This person motioned for Chu Muyu to wait, and walked into the small room behind him, and when the door was closed, Chu Muyu saw through the wooden door that the small room was full of locked cabinets, which should have stored the information of all the alchemists on the mainland.
A cup of tea exercises, this person walked out with some materials.
"Look, is this the person you're looking for?"
Chu Muyu took the information and looked at it carefully.
"Xu Shijie, male, senior alchemist......"
The information recorded on this document is very complete, including his residence, when he reached the level of advanced alchemist, and when he registered, all of which are recorded.
Chu Muyu wrote down Xu Shijie's address, and after saying goodbye to his seniors, he took Gege and Ling Hao down to the third floor.
Xiao Ran was already waiting for Chu Muyu at the location of the stairs on the third floor.
"Xiao Ran, how is it? Did you buy any materials?"
"Hmm...... No, I'm just just shopping around, the materials here are too expensive to be suitable. ”
"Then let's go, I've found the address. ”
They followed the address on the document to a dilapidated house, where some dilapidated furniture was piled up on the ground next to the gate, and a plaque reading the alchemy room was piled up in the furniture.
Chu Muyu was just about to knock on the door, but the door opened, and a fifty or sixty-year-old lady walked out of it.
"Xu Shijie, you bastard, you are also a senior alchemist. I bah...... Collect so much money, and even a low-grade pill will be refined for me!"
"Auntie, who are you?" asked Xiao Ran, who stopped the emotional lady.
"Little girl, are you also here for alchemy? Don't be deceived by this Xu Shijie, I really don't know how he got the high-level alchemist token. ”
"Auntie, are you ruined by the elixir?"
"Yes, I spent a lot of money to buy the materials, I originally wanted to refine an elixir and give it to my son, but my son has never been able to break through the second layer of cultivation. I think the materials are very expensive, if you find a low-level alchemist, although it is cheap, but there is a chance of refining failure, so I gritted my teeth and found him, but I didn't expect it to be as good as a low-level alchemist!"
"Oh, auntie, there is a chance in the matter of alchemy. Forget it, just look for the materials again, don't get angry. ”
"Although he returned the money for the alchemy to me, the materials are not easy to find! I told you, don't look for him if you want to refine the pill, be careful that it will be broken for you!"
"Okay, auntie, do you know if there are other high-level alchemists in this city?"
“...... It's very easy for you to be a high-level alchemist and you can cultivate, although there are many exercises in the medicine city that break through the sixth layer, but the skills you comprehend are either low-level or intermediate, there are only two high-level alchemists, and there is one, and they never help anyone refine pills, so I found this bastard. ”
A lot of scolding and scolding left, Xiao Ran looked at Chu Muyu and smiled helplessly.
"Brother Mu Yu, are you sure you want to go in and find him?The low-level pills have all been refined, and this Bone Cleansing Pill material is not easy to find!"
Chu Muyu looked at the token in his hand, and then looked at Ling Hao who was standing aside.
"I believe in Uncle Shi!"
The door to the house was not closed, and the four of them walked straight inside.
"Do you want to practice pills? Only intermediate and low-grade pills. Five hundred taels of silver and materials were placed on the table, and they went out and waited. ”
Xu Shijie was next to the cabinet, holding some books in his hand, and he didn't look back at Chu Muyu and them.
"Senior, I am a disciple of Yunding Peak, Han Kai is my uncle, this time it was my uncle who introduced us here, hoping that my seniors can help refine a pill. ”
When Xu Shijie heard Han Kai's name, he put down the book in his hand, walked up and down in front of Chu Muyu and said, "Han Kai, this old thing, is also a high-level alchemist, why don't you make your own alchemy, and let you come to me?" I'm afraid this is all an excuse made up by you, trying to trick the old man into helping you make alchemy?"
"Senior, this is a token of Uncle Shi, I believe that as a senior alchemist, you should not know it!"
Xu Shijie picked up the token handed over by Chu Muyu and repeated the front and back several times.
"When did he reach the ultimate alchemist, and as a disciple of Yunding Peak, why didn't he help you with alchemy?"
"Don't hide it from your predecessors, Uncle Shi fell into a trough two hundred years ago because of the sacrifice of his parents in the battle against the demons, and he has been unable to extricate himself. Since then, I have never refined the pill, and I have been drinking all day long, and I have wasted all my exercises!"
"Hey, I haven't seen each other for two hundred years, but I didn't expect that my former friends, partners who studied alchemy together, have now become ......"
Xu Shijie thought of the scene where he had studied alchemy with Han Kai, and he was a little sad.
"Senior ......" Chu Muyu just spoke, but was interrupted by Xu Shijie.
"Alright...... You put away the token, give me the materials, what elixir do you want to refine?"
Chu Muyu took out the skull and rotten bone flower of the white-haired lion tiger beast and put them on the table.
"Brother Mu Yu, aren't you afraid that he will practice badly?"
"Xiao Ran...... How do you speak?"
Xu Shijie, who was looking at the materials, put down the materials when he heard what Xiao Ran said, looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Did you meet the lady who scolded the street outside the house just now?"
Chu Muyu hurriedly apologized.
"Senior, Xiao Ran is open-mouthed, don't take it to heart. ”
"Haha, it's nothing, this little girl is right, and what the eldest lady said is right, I did refine his elixir. ”
"Are you embarrassed to laugh if you break it?" said Gege with some dissatisfaction.
"You don't understand, as a high-level alchemist, if I want to refine any low-level or middle-grade pill, I won't fail. Even if it's a high-grade pill, I'm 90% sure. It's just that no matter what level of pill it is, it is divided into ordinary and superlative, and the medicinal properties of the two qualities are very different. I am a person who pursues perfection, and generally low-grade and intermediate-grade pills, I am refining towards the best quality, so it is normal to fail. ”
"Senior, what we want to refine is a high-grade elixir, and it doesn't need to be of too high quality, as long as it can be successfully refined. Chu Muyu was obviously still worried about his hard-earned materials.
"Young man, looking at the materials, you want to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill, right? Although the Bone Cleansing Pill is a high-grade pill, the medicinal properties and effects of ordinary quality have already met the requirements of the Immortal Pill, so there is no need to refine the best quality pill. Then again, you're missing one more material!"
"Senior, I and my companions have the Qi of the Extreme Yang in our bodies, and we can inject it at any time when you need it when you are refining the pill. ”
"Alright then, let's go out and leave behind those who have the energy of the sun. ”
Xiao Ran looked at Xu Shijie with disdain, and then was pulled out of the room by Ling Hao.
"What are you pulling me for?" Xiao Ran shook off Ling Hao's hand.
"You will affect Mu Yu like this, if you offend this person, where can you go to find a senior alchemist?"
"I'm not worried about the materials that Brother Mu Yu worked so hard to find, you don't know how much suffering we have suffered for the Bone Cleansing Pill materials, if it is refined for him, won't Brother Mu Yu die of sadness? ”
Ling Hao was speechless by Xiao Ran's words, so he could only find a place in the courtyard to sit down.
In the room, Xu Shijie condensed the exercises, dark blue eyes, and three flames floating behind him, orange Danhuo, white green fire, and yang fire with golden light.
Xu Shijie opened his palm, and a triangular Dan furnace appeared in his palm, which slowly rotated and became larger, until it was about the size of the table, and it fell to the ground with a "bang".
"This is my 'Ugin Furnace', made of pure Ugin and used to create high-grade elixirs, which I usually don't take out. ”
Chu Muyu and Gege looked at the black and white light of the Dan furnace, the lid of the Dan furnace slowly floated up, and Xu Shijie threw the skull and rotten bone flower of the white-haired lion tiger beast into it.
The yang fire behind Xu Shijie flew up, and he also entered the Dan furnace with the two materials, and he used his exercises to control the yang fire in the Dan furnace. The temperature of the whole room rose instantly, and the Dan furnace was burned a little red.
"It's no wonder that Ugin is used to build a Dan furnace, the general material is estimated to have already been melted by the yang fire. ”
An unpleasant smell transmitted from the Dan furnace, and Xu Shijie was covered in sweat, just like the smell of a carrion in the Ice Corpse Cave.
"Young man, get ready, the skull of the white-haired lion tiger beast is about to decay, and when you hear me shout, you will inject Yang Qi into the Dan furnace. ”
