As the sun sets, the sky gets darker.

The market is still full of people, and some warriors have gathered around the vendors.

For these warriors, it doesn't matter much about the time sooner or later, after becoming a warrior, their eyesight and hearing have improved, although they can't reach the level of seeing night as day, but they won't be affected by this slight dimness.

On both sides of the trading street, many people are arguing with sellers about the price of goods, and some vendors are shouting loudly to buy herbs and animal skins from the hands of warriors.

Quietly, Qin Xuan's figure appeared in front of a dilapidated shop.

If you pay attention, you will find that this store has been closed for several days, and there will be no customers entering at all, and I don't know why a person will appear at the door out of thin air!

Qin Xuan found a corner where no one was around, put away the masked towel and other clothes, tied up the two braids on his head, and walked towards home with a small cotton coat of floral cloth.

......

As soon as he walked a short distance, Qin Xuan was attracted by a familiar figure across the street.

"Hey, that's ...... Pharmacist Liu?"

"It's strange, isn't Pharmacist Liu always living alone and studying some pill poisons at home all the year round, how can he be here today?"

Qin Xuan was a little curious and walked towards Pharmacist Liu.

Pharmacist Liu is a member of the collateral clan of the Liu family, belonging to the same line as Qin Xuan, and the two families are relatively close, so if Qin Xuan has any major illness or small pain, his grandmother will come to Pharmacist Liu to see a doctor.

After coming and going, Qin Xuan and Pharmacist Liu became familiar with each other!

"Uncle Pharmacist, Uncle Pharmacist, what are you doing here?" Qin Xuan, who looked cute, ran over in a hurry.

"Your poisonous snake corpse has been dead for too long, and the blood has basically run out, so it's not worth it...... Hey, it's a little kitten!" Liu Yaoshi was arguing with a strange middle-aged man about the price, when he suddenly heard Qin Xuan's immature shout, and couldn't help but look back, "Little kitten, why did you come here, aren't you afraid of being punished by your grandmother?"

"Uncle Pharmacist, are you shopping here?" Qin Xuan glanced at the huge bamboo basket beside Pharmacist Liu, "Ah, what a big poisonous snake, there are three of me who stand up so tall, Uncle Pharmacist, why do you want to buy such a big snake?"

"You kid, this bazaar is full of dragons and snakes, is this a place where your child can come, go back quickly!" Pharmacist Liu waved his hand and motioned for Qin Xuan to hurry home.

"Okay, Uncle Pharmacist. ”

Qin Xuan looked at the poisonous snakes and scorpions and other corpses in the bamboo basket, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the market.

"Wait!"

Pharmacist Liu suddenly spoke again and called out to Qin Xuan.

"Recently, the clan has not been very stable, and there may be wild beasts on the road, you wait here for a while, and I will take you back later. ”

"Ah, Uncle Yakushi, no need. Qin Xuan hurriedly shook his head.

"What's the matter, what if something happens to you, how can I explain to your grandmother!" Pharmacist Liu didn't allow Qin Xuan to refute, walked quickly to Qin Xuan's side, and pulled him back.

"You follow me first, I still have some medicine and food to buy, and I can leave in a while!"

"Yes, Uncle Pharmacist!"

Qin Xuan looked reluctant, he knew that he wouldn't come to join in the fun!

Qin Xuan was also going to go to the academy to check the information about the Starry Sky Grass, but this was obviously no fun!

Previously, in Zhang Laosan's secret room, Qin Xuan and the five of them discussed for a long time before they decided on the plan to take the thousand-year-old elixir.

Several people agreed that at noon three days later, they would meet at the top of Wolf Howling Peak, and then Zhang Laosan would lead the four of them to the mountain range.

Before entering the mountain range, Qin Xuan had a lot of preparations to do, and the three days were too tense, so Qin Xuan decided to go to the academy immediately to find out if there were any books on Starry Sky Grass.

There are a lot of classics in the academy, and Qin Xuan only consulted the classics in ancient characters before, and he hasn't read much about medicinal herbs, he believes that even Zhang Laosan can find out the news, and the academy should have a record.

After all, this is the accumulation of thousands of years in the Liu family, except for the secret books of the exercises, the rest of the classics are in the academy.

"Zhang Laosan, this old guy has always been treacherous, his words are three points true and seven points false, this time he must have reservations about the medicine plan, I can't believe him without reservation, otherwise I won't know if I am cannon fodder. Qin Xuan said secretly in his heart.

He didn't believe that Zhang Laosan would be so generous and tell everything and everything. If Zhang Laosan conceals something, or sets some trap and calculates Qin Xuan and others, then Qin Xuan can only be slaughtered by others!

......

Later, Pharmacist Liu bought a lot of poisons, and it was not until a bamboo basket was filled that Pharmacist Liu nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, it took the old man more than half a day, and finally received a sufficient amount of medicine and food, this time it should be almost the same, little kitten, let's go home!"

"Okay, Uncle Pharmacist. ”

......

On the road.

Pharmacist Liu walked leisurely in front of him, carrying a large bamboo basket behind him.

Qin Xuan followed behind, also carrying a small bamboo basket behind him.

"Little kitten, your physical strength is good, you don't get tired after carrying the bamboo basket for so long," Pharmacist Liu looked at Qin Xuan, who had never fallen behind, and was quite satisfied, "The physical strength is so good at a young age, and he must be a genius in martial arts practice in the future, and it is very possible to step into the second order before the age of twelve." When the time comes, maybe you can be admitted to Qingyang Academy, and then you will be able to reach the sky in one step!"

"Uncle Pharmacist, how can it be so easy to become a second-order!" Qin Xuan shook his head.

"I heard Brother Ah Yan say that martial arts cultivation is extremely difficult, and those in the clan who can cultivate to the second order before the age of twelve are all descendants with excellent talents, and they all have the strong support of the middle and high levels of the clan, and they will be given a large number of pills. ”

"And I'm just a member of the side clan, no matter how good my talent is, it's impossible to get the family's elixir, how can I cultivate to the second order?"

Qin Xuan sighed.

One step is slow, one step is slow, Qin Xuan is just a side clan, it is difficult to get the family pills, while those descendants can get a large number of pills to assist in cultivation, and the gap between them will become bigger and bigger.

For example, Liu Yan's talent is not bad, but he is a member of the side clan, and after two years of cultivation, he is still lingering in the early stage of the first order.

It was because the speed at which he absorbed the aura of heaven and earth was too slow.

If he had the aid of the pill, he would have reached the middle stage of the first order now, and if he practiced another martial art to enhance his strength, he might be able to reach two thousand catties of huge strength and pass the assessment of Qingyang Academy.

"I didn't expect you, a little kitten, you are not very old, and you can see things quite thoroughly!" Pharmacist Liu nodded.

"You're right, although the family is all members of the family on the surface, they are all part of the family, but selfishness always exists. ”

"The heads of the family are almost all in the lineage, they will naturally deduct a large number of pills in private, for their own children and grandchildren, we can only compete for the remaining pills, and it is good luck to be able to give birth to a disciple of Qingyang Academy every year!"

Pharmacist Liu naturally knew much more about the situation of the Liu family than Qin Xuan.

Although he is a collateral lineage, because he is proficient in medicine, he has a higher status in the clan and has come into contact with many more people.

"Don't be discouraged, little kitten. If you can cultivate to the peak of the first order before the age of eleven, I will go and catch a third-order demon beast for you, and use its inner pill to refine a qi transformation pill for you to help you break through to the second order. Pharmacist Liu said with a smile.

If Qin Xuan was really able to cultivate to the peak of the first order before the age of eleven without the aid of medicine, he would also be a genius, and Pharmacist Liu was willing to help him.

"Thank you, Uncle Pharmacist, when I am eight years old, I will definitely practice diligently. Qin Xuan replied.

From an angle that Pharmacist Liu couldn't see, Qin Xuan pursed his lips.

At the age of eleven, it will be four years later, even if he doesn't use the purple gold rune, he should break through to the second order!

After all, he was only one step away from the second order now.

Qin Xuan thought secretly in his heart, "Uncle Pharmacist, how good it would be if you practiced a Qi Transformation Pill for me now, I was about to go to the mountain range for a walk, if I broke through to the second order, I would be much more sure of saving my life!"

Pharmacist Liu naturally didn't know what Qin Xuan was thinking, and when he heard Qin Xuan's promise, he nodded slightly.

"Little kitten, don't let me down, it's not easy to practice a Qi Transformation Pill, if you don't say anything else, the third-order demon beast Inner Dan is not easy to find, after all, not every demon beast has an Inner Dan. ”

"Speaking of the Qi Transformation Pill, in fact, the old man has also studied the Dan Fang, and even wants to create a Qi Transformation Pill that can be refined without the need for the Demon Beast Inner Pill. Pharmacist Liu sighed gloomily, as if he had thought of something.

"Uncle Pharmacist, have you researched it?" Qin Xuan knew that there was not much hope when he saw Pharmacist Liu's expression, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, this matter is ashamed, the old man has spent several years of hard work to create several possible pill recipes, but unfortunately none of them are feasible. Two of the best of them have irreparable flaws. Pharmacist Liu sighed.

"Defects?" Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask, a little curious on his face.

"Those two pills, one is called the Purple Yin Blood Qi Pill by the old man. ”

"This pill is refined from the blood of hundreds of fierce beasts, but this pill toxin is mixed too much, and even the old man can't detoxify it. Pharmacist Liu took out a wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and took a big sip of wine.
