......

In the Yan Mansion, in the courtyard of the Young Master Yan Xiao's Pavilion.

Bai Yujing hadn't been out of Yanfu for half a month. During the day, he carefully read the "Compendium of Materia Medica". At night, he practiced the Blood Soul Dao Decision.

As early as the sixth day, he stopped cultivating after taking it. The rest of the time, he had been reading the medicine book.

Bai Yujing read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" more than three times. After reading it once, reminiscing about it once, repeating and deepening what you have written in this book, to the point of identifying herbs at a glance. After all, he still understands the truth that "books can be read casually, but medicine cannot be taken casually".

"I won't be mistaken, pay attention in the future, don't be careless..."Bai Yujing thought in his heart.

For half a month, he read it over and over again, mainly because there were too many herbs recorded in the medicine book, and many of them were extremely similar, but the effects were really different. Some medicines, if you don't pay attention to the distinction and let people take them by mistake, you will vomit in the light case and die in the worst case, so he will naturally have to be extremely cautious.

Bai Yujing walked out of the study and looked at the grass and trees in the courtyard. At this moment, the names of various plants in the yard appeared in his mind: "peach tree, saffron, flowering ginger, frangipani, camphor, phoenix wood, golden wasabi, olive seed, hibiscus, vanilla..."

"Vanilla..."Bai Yujing was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that just after reading the book, he would meet a baby when he went out, which is a kind of blood-replenishing medicinal material.

Bai Yujing came to the side of the lotus pool, squatted down and played with this herb, this herb exudes a faint fragrance, no wonder there is always a fragrance in the pavilion.

"It's a pity, although I know how to distinguish medicinal materials, but I can't refine medicine, if I can learn to refine medicine, I can find medicine by myself and alchemy at the same time..."Bai Yujing didn't pull up the herb directly, he sighed with some regret in his heart.

Bai Yujing thought for a while, then got up and left the courtyard. He wanted to see if there was a place in Yanfu that needed a helper to refine medicine, and by the way, he could learn how to refine medicine, if there was, it would be great.

He felt that asking Xia Yan and his wife was the best way.

The main mansion, Yanhao Courtyard.

"Xiaobai, do you want to learn alchemy?" The mansion lord Yan Hao looked at Bai Yujing with some surprise, and even Mrs. Yan beside him was surprised.

Bai Yujing likes to practice martial arts, and this idea is understandable, which boy in the world, who doesn't want to be strong in martial arts? Bai Yujing is not an old-fashioned person who only reads, he has a kind heart, has a scholarly spirit, and upholds justice, so he will naturally have the idea of seeing righteousness and acting bravely.

It's just that he didn't expect that he wanted to learn the tedious and boring alchemy technique.

"Yes, aunt and uncle... I want to learn how to refine medicine, and I can take it and cultivate, so that I can cultivate better. Bai Yujing summoned truthfully, with a sincere face.

"Well, you are self-motivated, you know that you have to rely on yourself to cultivate, you have a very good mentality, and relying on yourself is the real ability. There is a place for refining medicine in the mansion, I will take you over to see it, but I don't dare to guarantee that Elder Sun will not agree to teach you, do you understand?" said Young Master Yan.

"Okay, thank you, uncle, I understand..."Bai Yujing said very gratefully.

So, the Yan couple and Bai Yujing came to a relatively large pavilion, the Dan Room.

Bai Yujing saw an old man with gray hair, his face was ruddy like a baby, wearing a yellow tassel on his head, wearing a light green and yellow robe, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this old man's skin was better than him, and his eyes were both vicissitudes and deep eyes that were by no means more than a hundred years old, and now he seemed to be rejuvenated.

"There is the Taiqing Divine Pill, and its law comes from Yuanjun. The Nadan eagle is steamed in the belly, and it is served, and it makes people prolong their lives, and they will not die for a long time..."The old man held an ancient yellow book in one hand and muttered.

"Old Sun, excuse me..."Yan Hao's face was upright and humble, and he arched his hand to say hello.

"Young Master Yan, I don't know what happened to me..."Old Sun looked at Yan Hao, and his tone was very calm.

"Elder Sun, I saw that Elder Sun was taking care of the medicinal herbs alone all day long, and there was no one who could help him, he was too tired and couldn't bear it. No, I'll bring you a child, I don't know if you need to do it..."Yan Hao pointed to Old Sun and pointed to Bai Yujing behind him.

Bai Yujing immediately understood why Young Master Yan didn't dare to guarantee it, Young Master Yan didn't even speak so politely, this old man should be very senior, or he is very capable, otherwise even a young master of Yan Mansion would not be like this.

"Hello old man, my name is Bai Yujing, I have read the "Compendium of Materia Medica", I remember all kinds of herbs in it, I can do any work seriously, I want to learn alchemy with you, can you accept me..."

"Sun Lao, when this child was five years old, his memory surpassed ordinary people, smart and sensible, at that time he was accepted by me to be my child's scholar, five years still as a thirst for learning, meditative, memory is very good, begging me to say that I want to learn alchemy, I saw my son go out and only he was left alone in the courtyard lonely, so I couldn't bear it. Now that I want to learn alchemy, I'll bring him over to show you..."Yan Hao said one by one.

After listening to this, Sun Lao thought about it, since this child has read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and has a good memory, the young master of Yanfu spoke for him like this, and he is also a sensible and studious person. really accepted this child, but there was some extra time to come out to study medicine and alchemy.

"Do you know why you refine medicine..."Old Sun looked into Bai Yujing's eyes and said.

"Grandpa, I only know that refining medicine can effectively use the things of materia medica and refine it into pills, which can heal injuries and strengthen the body after taking it..."Bai Yujing replied without hesitation.

"Well, in general, refining medicine is indeed for healing injuries and strengthening the body. Since you know the Compendium of Materia Medica, then I will test you, and you can show me the medicinal herbs on the shelf..."Sun Lao nodded first, thought about it and continued to ask.

"Withered Qin, willow buds, citrus aurantium, gardenia, grass fruit golden cherry seed, periwinkle, Houttuynia cordata, dog liver cabbage, nay sheep flower, calamine poria cocos skin, cocos seed... Yin Chen, Poria cocos, camellia, fennel, cypress seeds..."Bai Yujing looked at the herbs on the wooden shelf and said, Hearing that Young Master Yan was impressed with him, it is one thing to be good at reading and writing, but it is different to distinguish the right things, which shows that Bai Yujing not only has a good memory, but also is very flexible.

"Yes, what the little baby said is right, but he has the basic ability to know medicine, if he is really not afraid of boring and hard work, he will stay..."Sun Lao nodded, this child is a seedling in the medicine refining world, and his understanding of herbal medicine is indeed very good.

"Xiaobai, thank you Grandpa Sun......" As soon as he heard Elder Sun's promise, Young Master Yan immediately reminded Bai Yujing. It's been so long, and Sun Lao is finally willing to accept a helper!

"Thank you, Grandpa Sun. I will definitely listen to your instructions and do things..."Bai Yujing hurriedly said, he was really happy, as long as he learned alchemy, he didn't have to worry about asking for money to buy medicine when cultivating, it was too expensive, and poor people couldn't cultivate at all.

Sun Lao also saw that Bai Yujing really wanted to learn the art of alchemy, so it was better, Bai Yujing's mind he also understood, he was born as a tenant farmer, and he would have a simple heart in the future, if his heart and ability can be tested in the future, his practice of medicine and alchemy can also be passed down, after all, he has not yet had an apprentice.
