Chapter 19: The Power of the Flames
The flow of people automatically separated an empty road, everyone was depressed looking out of the door, not long after, only to see an old man wearing a shirt and holding a feather fan slowly walked in, the long beard and the steps were ethereal, but there was quite a bit of fairy wind bones, but when he saw everyone retreat in shock, his gloomy old eyes suddenly rippled, so dusty and clichéd, it looked a little nondescript. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Walking to the shopkeeper, looking at the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, Hu Shichuan saluted with his hands and said: "There is nothing to do, the old man has come to apply for a job and talk about making up for his livelihood!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled, this Hu Shi used to be Ji Yu's medicine boy, with the gradual strengthening of Ji Yu's vitality, Hu Shi, as a first-class Yuanshi, gradually became a little powerless, but even so, in the medicinal materials industry, Hu Shi is still the first person in Lishan City to make medicine.
"Master Hu is here, our shop is shining!" The shopkeeper hurriedly returned the salute with a smile, but then, looking at the crowd in front of him that had not yet dispersed, the shopkeeper's face changed, and he said a little indifferently: "Today's application is so far, if you are interested, please come back tomorrow."
With the assistance of Master Hu, the medicinal materials of Baicaotang can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and the pharmacist refines the impurities in the herbs through the vitality of the medicine, so that the medicinal properties cannot help but be peaceful and warm, and even slightly improve the quality of the medicinal materials, and the experience of Master Hu makes other candidates become like chicken ribs.
"Wait!" Just as the others shook their heads and sighed and left, a slightly angry blocking sound sounded, and people looked at the mysterious person shrouded in the cloak in astonishment, and looked at Gu Yan with disdain, this person really didn't know what to do.
"The shopkeeper just said, we will wait for each of us to show our skills, and Your Excellency will only evaluate," Gu Yan, who deliberately changed his voice, said in a righteous manner: "But it has not yet been shown!"
"Where did you come from?" Hu Shi was furious, judging from Gu Yan's temperament and language, he was not very old and spicy, but he openly challenged himself, Hu Shi couldn't help but look like ashes, and his silver beard trembled slightly.
"Master Hu, don't be impatient!" The shopkeeper hurriedly said, for fear of offending the master of medicine in front of him. Immediately, he looked at Gu Yan with an incomprehensible look, quite disgusted.
"The old man will convince you!" A roar of rage.
Hu Shi's eyes were sharp, his gloomy pupils flickered a little cold, and before his words fell, a strong aura belonging to a first-class Yuanshi emanated.
Yuan Qi roared out, and quickly condensed a Yuan Qi flame in his hand, although it was not a real flame, but whether it was the shape or the charm, it was somewhat similar, and the Yuan Qi changed various shapes in his hand, like a naughty elf jumping on his fingertips.
The furious vitality surged towards Gu Yan, obviously wanting to give the unashamed kid in front of him a dismount.
"Hurry back!" Everyone was amazed by Master Hu's "fire" magic skill, and his control of the vitality had reached its peak, but suddenly, the overflowing vitality surged towards them, and everyone shouted in horror.
Most of the people present were nine-rank yuan scholars or half-step yuanshi, but even so, at the moment when Hu Shi's vitality roared, everyone still felt suffocated in their chests, and they retreated one by one.
The vitality bombarded his body, and Gu Yan was also dull in his chest, however, the young tiger's eyes condensed, and the golden vitality quietly came out, and as soon as Hu Shi's violent vitality touched the golden mangs on the surface of the ancient rock, it immediately collapsed, and at the same time, the fire attribute, its advantages and disadvantages were self-evident.
Gu Yan snorted coldly, and his vitality poured out without reservation, as his cultivation gradually deepened, the more difficult it became to advance in the future, but even so, after more than a month of cultivation, Gu Yan's vitality strength of the eighth-rank yuan person was already not weaker than some nine-rank yuan people.
The golden vitality permeated Gu Yan's body, like a swaying sheep's horn whirlwind swept towards the young man's palm, the vitality gradually condensed, dazzling like a bright golden mang, raising those deep eyes, Gu Yan smiled faintly, and suddenly a violent and hot breath spread from the young man's palm.
"What?"
"No...... No way! ”
People looked at Gu Yan's golden palm, only to see that in Gu Yan's hand, a golden flame was like a lotus blooming in the wind, blooming quietly, different from its demonic smelt, a terrifying temperature that made the scalp tingle spread, even if the crowd retreated for a moment, but the scorching temperature still made people palpitate.
"You...... You're an alchemist! "At the moment when the ancient rock golden flame appeared, it seemed that he was afraid of the terrifying temperature, and the fire attribute vitality in his hand collapsed and dispersed, and the qi and blood in his body were a little disordered.
Master Hu's withered yellow teeth trembled due to excessive fear, the person hidden under the black cloak in front of him was chilling, the breath of the golden flame suppressed his blood veins, even if he had served by the side of Master Ji Yu for five or six years, but the facts in front of him told him that the quality of this golden flame was far superior to that of Lord Ji Yu's yellow flame, but the control of the flame was slightly inferior.
Could it be that another alchemist appeared in Lishan City, and everyone quietly looked at the golden flame in Gu Yan's hand, which was obviously the sign of an alchemist, but no one thought that the mysterious black-clothed man in front of him was the "waste" who had not advanced an inch of vitality in five years.
Gu Yan just smiled disdainfully at Master Hu's fear, and as soon as his vitality was released, the golden flame suddenly disappeared in Gu Yan's palm, but the scorching temperature was still endless, looking at the stunned shopkeeper, Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I don't know if it's qualified!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was suddenly shocked, although Master Hu is undoubtedly a master of medicine, compared with the mysterious person shrouded in the cloak in front of him, his fire attribute vitality is obviously not enough, but it is not a wise move to offend Master Hu, the shopkeeper is about to accept all of them, but looking at Master Hu with a frightened and cramped face, the shopkeeper can't help but hesitate.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, Gu Yan shrouded in a black cloak couldn't see any clues, but Master Hu was already haggard, compared to the flame master in front of him, he was undoubtedly a class with an axe, and he was speechless, and Master Hu finally walked towards Baicaotang in despair.
The flowing feather fan hung in his thin hands, completely devoid of the arrogance of the genius.
"Your Excellency!" The shopkeeper hugged his fist in embarrassment and said, "I hope that the Lord will forgive Meng Lang below!"
The others looked at the lowly wagging tail and begging for mercy under the shopkeeper of Baicao Hall, shook their heads helplessly all day long, glanced at the man under the cloak, and everyone's hearts rushed away, and the appearance of the second alchemist in Lishan City was enough to set off a hurricane.
"Alchemist!" Gu Yan muttered to himself, although he is not an alchemist, this profession that everyone admires still makes Gu Yan covet it very much, but if he wants to become an alchemist, he must refine his own elixir, which is undoubtedly a blue thread for Gu Yan, who has never been in contact with any Danfang, and it is quite a bit of a closed-door meaning.
Sitting quietly in the pharmacy, surrounded by all kinds of cherished medicinal materials, some of which were even the best herbs of Zhuji Dan, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel his head big, the shopkeeper of this Baicao Hall really looked up to himself, and really thought that he was an alchemist.
The only thing that made Gu Yan fortunate was that by using his identity as an alchemist, the reward given by the other party was more than five times that of many pharmacists, and he even chose a quiet pharmacy for himself to prevent others from disturbing him, and it seemed that he wanted to keep himself completely.
Looking at the dazzling array of medicinal materials, Gu Yan was a little hesitant to start, although pounding medicine was just a simple refining of the impurities in the medicinal materials, but for himself who knew little about many medicinal materials, it was undoubtedly a tyrannical thing to do so rashly.
Anyway, several bookshelves in the pharmacy are full of detailed explanations of various herbs, and for Gu Yan, a layman who is a layman in medicine, such a God-given opportunity, the young man will not miss it.
Ignoring the mountains of herbs in front of him, Gu Yan walked straight towards the bookshelf, picking out many commonly used cursive scripts, Gu Yan read hungrily, the soul power is different from that of ordinary people, it can be said that it is ten lines at a glance, and occasionally encounters a suspicious point, Gu Yan does a little detail, it is clear in his heart.
After three full hours of research, although he is not familiar with the subtle rationality of many medicinal materials, he can also grasp it preliminarily, and pounding medicine is not as harsh as refining medicine, so he can completely cope with it.
Raising his head to look at the bustling sea of people outside the window, Gu Yan woke up suddenly.
"Suffered!" Gu Yan's secret path is not good, looking at the red glow of the Dao Dao swept up in the sky, the red sunset is about to fall back to the West Mountain, but the medicinal materials piled up in front of him still have not moved at all.
Hurriedly sat cross-legged, in front of him was a bronze medicine tripod with a simple shape, the mottled patina told the passage of time, just an ordinary medicine tripod.
No longer delayed, Gu Yan selected a precious "Snow Tea Grass", even if it left the soil, the thick vitality still emanated from itself, the reason why Gu Yan chose all the medicinal materials in the more precious "Snow Tea Grass" is undoubtedly to make up for the lack of quantity with quality, if you let the shopkeeper know that he is just getting started, even if he has a golden flame, he will not hesitate to sweep the floor out.
The golden flame roared suddenly, Gu Yan flicked his fingers, and the flame turned into a gorgeous streamer and jumped into the medicine tripod, and the moment the "snow tea grass" touched the flame, the thick water vapor suddenly steamed out, and the green young leaves lost their luster and turned into dry and burnt yellow.
The golden flame still released bursts of heat, and in the blink of an eye, the "Snow Tea Grass" had completely lost its vitality, and with a "bang", the entire branch and leaf turned into black ash and sank to the bottom. The thin cyan potion floated in the golden flames.
And Gu Yan couldn't help but be solemn, the next thing was to pound the most critical refining impurities, use soul power to control the temperature of the flame, and remove the dregs in the medicine one by one, but once there is a slight deviation, the entire herb will be reduced to nothing.
Gu Yan carefully controlled the flames, for fear that the slightest mistake would be wasted, and after a cup of tea, Gu Yan's forehead had already oozed layers of hot sweat, flowing into his eyes, quite stinging, but Gu Yan was still staring at the medicine tripod motionlessly.
"Bang!"
With a low explosion, wisps of black smoke rose out of the medicine pod, and the ancient rock surface was like sinking water, no matter how cautious he was, but at the last step, the soul fluctuated slightly, and the entire "Snow Tea Grass" still turned into powder, and all the previous efforts were lost. It seems that alchemist is indeed a profound profession.
However, Gu Yan was not discouraged in the slightest, after all, this was the first time he had made medicine, and it was understandable that he had made a mistake, sitting cross-legged and quickly recovering his consumed vitality.
The tiger's eyes were shocked, and the ancient rock that was ready to go was once again put into the medicine, and it was a precious "snow tea grass", according to the steps of Fang Cai, Gu Yan was refining for the camp step by step.
