Chapter 10: Apprenticeship
After a night of deep thought, Ning Wushuang had completely accepted the reality in the early morning of the next day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The toxins in his body have been expelled, and his strength has been restored.
Standing at the door of the cave at this moment, he said goodbye to Xu Qin with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Sister Xu, I would rather Wushuang owe you a favor." ā
Xu Qinwan smiled and said softly, "Senior Brother Ning doesn't need to be polite, the heart of the doctor's parents." ā
Ning Wushuang laughed, and then hugged his fist to Xu Qin, "Then, senior brother will say goodbye, if you can use senior brother's place in the future, just open your mouth." ā
"Senior Brother Ning, walk slowly." Xu Qin also clenched his fists and smiled.
The moment Ning Wushuang turned to leave, a complicated look appeared in Xu Qin's eyes.
However, this complicated look soon disappeared and was replaced by a kind of gentleness.
If Ning Wushuang found out, he would definitely be surprised, but he didn't find it.
"There is a familiar feeling about her, as if we have met somewhere." Ning Wushuang thought inwardly, her brows furrowed slightly.
But after thinking about it for a long time, for a long time, I still couldn't think of where I had seen Xu Qin.
"Well, maybe healers have this kind of familiarity." Ning Wushuang no longer thought about these questions.
Yo~
Ning Wushuang was still bowing his head and pondering, but suddenly this deer roar shocked his spirit.
Hurriedly raised his head, his eyes staring straight into the distance.
Gradually, Ning Wushuang's eyes were a little ruddy, and he couldn't help but shout tremblingly, "Master......"
Ning Wushuang hadn't gone far yet, and Xu Qin was still standing at the entrance of the cave, and when she heard the deer roar, she was also happy.
The old man and the tricolor elk gradually walked in, and the old man looked at the strange two people in front of his residence, and his white eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"Who are you?" The voice of the old man's vicissitudes came into the ears of the two.
Ning Wushuang's body trembled, "Master actually doesn't recognize me?" ā
But after thinking about it, "It was my brother's illusion before, and Master did exist, but he didn't have anything to do with me." ā
But this did not affect Ning Wushuang's gratitude and respect for the old man, even if it was just an illusion, a dream.
"Senior, I am Xu Qin, the apprentice of the eldest grandson, he asked me to come here and let you give you some advice." Xu Qin walked up to the old man and said with a smile.
The old man bowed slightly, and looked at Ning Wushuang with ruddy eyes on the side in surprise, "You, who guided you." ā
Being asked like this, Ning Wushuang didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that he jumped off the cliff and found it
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and a hippie smile responded, "It's my senior brother Jiang Xuan." ā
"Jiang Xuan." A trace of essence flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes, but this essence was fleeting, and Ning Wushuang did not notice it.
"Since it's a friend's guide, then you can come with me." A slight smile erupted into the old man's wrinkled face.
This smile fell in Ning Wushuang's eyes, just like the kind and gentle smile in the illusion.
"Yes." Xu Qin and Ning Wushuang followed the old man and walked into the cave.
The old man took off the medicine basket behind him, and then sorted the herbs and put them away.
"Since both of you let me give advice, then I will start from the basics, and the alchemy technique is no different from the alchemy of the mortal world." The old man said as he sorted out the herbs.
"Alchemy, you need to know how to recognize medicine, medicinal herbs have different grades, different medicinal properties, different effects, the next three days, the old man will teach you to recognize medicine, and when you initially master the skills of medicine, the old man will teach you the next one."
"Thank you, seniors...... Ning Wushuang almost shouted out the word master, but soon changed his words and called his predecessors like Xu Qin.
The old man bowed slightly, and then took out a gray-white to pale brown herb from the sorted herbs.
"This herb, named Du Heng, has one or two leaves, born at the end of the stem, and the top of a single flower is used to refine the Qingling Pill and gather the Lingdan."
"This herb, called Radix Radix, has a grayish-yellow or grayish-brown surface, with irregular longitudinal grooves, transverse pores, sparse transverse cracks and fibrous root marks, which can be used to refine Pei Lingsan."
"This herb ......"
The old man introduced ten kinds of herbs to Xu Qin and Ning Wushuang in a row.
When the old man stopped, he squinted and smiled at the contemplative appearance of the two.
After about a quarter of an hour, the old man interrupted the two of them in their contemplation, "The old man has just introduced fifteen kinds of medicinal herbs, and your task today is to find those medicinal herbs in this valley according to your memories and bring them back. ā
"Yes." Xu Qin pursed her lips and smiled, as a healer, it was extremely easy for her to distinguish medicinal herbs.
Ning Wushuang on the side frowned, his expression was very solemn, but he still followed Xu Qin out of the cave.
ā¦ā¦
"Du Heng, Xuanshen, Xueyan ......" Xu Qin squatted in the lawn, collecting herbs one after another.
Ning Wushuang, who was not far away, was tossing and turning, and there was not a single herb in the medicine basket behind him.
Soon, Xu Qin collected all the herbs that the old man had just talked about.
Xu Qin looked at Ning Wushuang, only to see that there were only a few herbs in Ning Wushuang's medicine basket.
By this time, it was getting late, and halfway through the valley was as dark as night.
Xu Qin found a place to rest and sat down, put down the medicine basket behind him, put his hands on his knees, and quietly watched Ning Wushuang's busy appearance.
Both of them knew that the reason why the old man asked the two of them to come out to collect medicinal herbs was to teach different alchemy techniques according to their different performances, and they would definitely not allow each other to help.
So Xu Qin could only sit aside and wait quietly for Ning Wushuang.
Soon, the sky was completely dark, and Ning Wushuang walked to Xu Qin's side with a solemn expression.
Ning Wushuang glanced at the herbs in Xu Qin's medicine basket, and smiled awkwardly in her heart, "Senior sister, let's go back." ā
Xu Qin nodded, then picked up the medicine basket, and the two walked towards the cave with the faint light.
After about an hour, the two finally returned to the cave.
The old man told them to put the herbs down and stand aside.
The old man squatted down his old body, took the lead in picking up Xu Qin's medicine basket, then picked up the herbs inside, looked at it, and smelled it again.
"Very good, there is alchemy potential." After the old man identified Xu Qin's fifteen herbs, he looked at Xu Qin approvingly.
Xu Qin's face showed joy, her master, the eldest grandson, had mentioned to her that the old man in front of her was an alchemy master, and if he could get the old man's praise, he would definitely be very good.
The old man then went to Ning Wushuang's medicine basket, looking at the medicine basket of less than ten herbs, the old man frowned.
Looking at the old man's expression, Ning Wushuang felt a sigh in his heart, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
The old man picked up a medicinal herb, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and his frown tightened even more.
"It's over, it's over." Ning Wushuang had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Xu Qin on the side also frowned slightly, and said softly to Ning Wushuang, "Senior brother, don't worry. ā
Ning Wushuang nodded, but he was still extremely nervous in his heart.
After an hour of incense, the old man stood up and stared at Ning Wushuang with a heavy expression.
Ning Wushuang lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the old man's gaze, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Have you ever studied alchemy before?"
Ning Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and replied, "No... No. ā
"Hahaha......" The old man's originally heavy face changed, and he laughed heartily.
Ning Wushuang and Xu Qin looked at the old man puzzled, and asked at the same time, "Senior, what's wrong with you." ā
"Okay, very good, Ning Wushuang, are you willing to worship me as a teacher." The old man stared at Ning Wushuang tightly, and his cloudy gaze burst out with a spirit that he had never seen before.
Xu Qin on the side pursed his lips and smiled, and gently pushed Ning Wushuang, who was stunned in place, "Senior brother, congratulations." ā
was pushed by Xu Qin, Ning Wushuang reacted and immediately knelt down, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ā
"Okay, let's get up." The old man hurriedly helped Ning Wushuang up.
"You must be wondering why I took you as an apprentice." The old man smiled gently.
Ning Wushuang nodded, and Xu Qin on the side also looked at the old man puzzled.
The old man smiled slightly, and then explained, "Xu Qin can be said to be a genius in terms of alchemy, and he can distinguish the fifteen extremely difficult herbs mentioned by the old man in a short period of time. ā
Xu Qin smiled sweetly, she was already very satisfied in her heart to be so praised by the old man.
"And Shuang'er is a genius in terms of pills. You can see something that ordinary Dan masters can't see, and that is the maturity of the herbs. As the old man spoke, his joy was fully revealed.
"Shuang'er, you tell Master what you thought at that time."
Ning Wushuang was a little nervous, and then said, "I think that if the herb is not mature, it cannot be used for alchemy, and if it is overripe, it will affect the medicinal properties. ā
"Good, good." The old man approved, and at the same time took out two scrolls from his bosom.
"Originally, I thought that it would take three days to know the medicine, but now it seems that with your qualifications, one day is enough. These two scrolls contain an elixir, and tomorrow you will begin to refine the elixir. ā
"The old man will give you guidance on the side, and finally decide what to teach you next according to your Danpin."
"Thank you, Senpai (Master)"
