Chapter 1: The Alchemist (Part 2)
"Go, go, stinky boy, don't mess with the old man!"
Before the grass hut, Qifu took out a sieve of herbs, stretched out an ebony fan, and pushed him back again and again.
"Uncle Seven Immortals, don't look down on people, I'll be a medicine boy for you, help out, it's always okay, right?"
Xiao Nan stood firm and grinned and entangled. He was scared of his illness and found that he had shortcomings, so he immediately tried to make up for them.
When he was two years old, he was besieged and killed by the warriors of Tai'an Kingdom, and he had nowhere to escape, so he dug a secret room by himself when he came back. By the way, it's a secret passage now.
Last time, Lanxi was seriously ill and in danger, which made him helpless and frightened. He calculated that he had to study medical medicine, and not every time he could encounter the ghost spirit grass to save his life.
Moreover, in case he is a little injured in the future, in this primitive and wild tribe, he can't expect others to save him every time.
"Hehe, Xiao Nanzi, don't say Uncle Seven Immortals, I'm bullying you. The old man asks you, do you want to study medicine or become an alchemist?"
Nanama squinted her eyes, her white beard fluttering, and thrust her ebony fan into her waist behind her.
"Naturally, I want to learn ......"
Xiao Nan saw that his tone had a tendency to loosen, and immediately blurted out. He was halfway through his speech when his eyes suddenly rolled.
What is an alchemist, I seem to have heard of it for the first time!
"Naturally, I want to be an alchemist!" he quickly changed his words.
Qifu turned around and lay down on the bamboo chair, unhurried, looking like "you have fallen into a trap".
"Hehe, Xiao Nanzi! The doctor is looking and hearing, asking and cutting, applying acupuncture and decoction, treating general injuries and diseases, paying attention to three points of talent and seven points of accumulation.
"But the alchemist is different! Alcheming is to take the spiritual root of plants and trees, refining the spiritual extract of all things, and can create all kinds of magical elixirs, paying attention to seven points of talent and three points of accumulation.
"The old man told you the truth, if you take a hundred people in the crowd, there may be ten people who are suitable for studying medicine, but there may not even be one suitable for refining medicine.
"Now, do you still want to be an alchemist?"
Xiao Nan's dripping eyes stopped rolling, and he gritted his teeth firmly and said, "Uncle Seven Immortals, no matter how difficult it is, I will be an alchemist!"
He thought to himself, the more difficult things are, the more precious they must be, and the more they must be fought for.
"Ahem......" Nanama didn't expect it to backfire, and choked in one breath.
At this time, a sound of "de, de" came, and a jujube red wildebeest turned out not far away.
On horseback sat two little girls, one in a red dress and the other in a green dress. The girl in the red dress was in front, looking nervous and grasping the reins.
The front is led by a thin man.
He has an eagle face and a pointed nose and a triangular beard, and he is the third master of Ye who appeared during the enlightenment of the witch path. The two girls are his niece Ye Wen and his daughter Ye Chengcheng.
"Uncle Seven Immortals, the third elder of the Ye family is here to visit!"
Ye Sanye spoke softly, like an elegant strategist, and he couldn't see the majesty of the helmsman of the Ye family's caravan at all.
"Third Master, before the caravan was purchasing wound medicine, what wind blew you. Uncle Seven Immortals lay in the bamboo chair and looked at him, and said unhurriedly.
Uncle Seven Immortals' posture is clearly far above Ye Sanye's qualifications, which further confirms Xiao Nan's determination to apprentice. As the saying goes, if you don't hold your thighs, your brain will either be pumped or broken.
"Uncle Seven Immortals laughed, in front of you, the name of the third master dare not be. I'm not here today to purchase pills, but for the sake of my two unsuccessful descendants. ”
Ye Sanye smiled modestly, and his beards on both sides were cocked together.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the two little girls and got off the wildebeest, and said, "Allure, Wen'er, this is your Seven Immortal Uncle, don't you hurry up and see you!"
"I've seen Uncle Seven Immortals!" the two little girls saluted respectfully.
After the girl in Tsing Yi finished speaking, she lowered her head timidly. The girl in the red dress opened her eyes wide and looked at the whitebearded grandfather curiously.
At this time, they also found Xiao Nan standing on the side, and Ye Sanye smiled gently. Ye Tingcheng lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look around. Ye Wen habitually glared, obviously wanting to say, "Hmph, what to see".
Xiao Nan shook his head secretly, and loved the well-behaved and lovely girl in Tsing Yi even more.
"Well-behaved, it's really two little guys who are well-behaved! Third Master, if you have something, just say it!"
Nanama sat up and smiled lovingly. I think it's because he's older, and he's very close to the little ones. This is also one of the reasons why he didn't get rid of Xiao Nan.
"Uncle Seven Immortals, my two little dolls have passed the enlightenment of the Witch Dao, and their qualifications are good.
"But I thought about the girl's house, and it was inconvenient after all, so I thought of sending it to you to see if I had the talent of an alchemist.
"If you are lucky enough to have some talents, and you have the favor of your old man, it will be a blessing that they have cultivated in their previous life!"
Ye Sanye's words made Xiao Nan's heart "chuckle". Broken, it turned out to be a competitor!
"That's right...... But the old man had no intention of accepting apprentices. Even if they have some talent, at most they will be a medicine boy with me, and the old man can't guarantee what their future achievements will be!"
Uncle Seven Immortals pondered for a moment before lying on the bamboo chair and swaying in reply.
Xiao Nan's eyes were sharp, he grabbed an ebony fan and fanned it lightly at the old man. The breeze is gentle and pleasant. The girl in the red dress was so angry that her teeth itched and she stared straight at her.
Before Ye Sanye could speak, he suddenly looked at the street. Two centaurs appeared at the end of the road, and ran towards the knotted grass house.
One is the cockscomb head Wang Shi, and a burly man with a big knife on his back. The other group is Bo Yu, who has a haughty expression, and Bo Yang, an elder who passes on his merits.
"Uncle Seven Immortals, I heard that you mentioned to Lan Yan of the medicine collection team the day before yesterday that you wanted to accept a few medicine boys. The dog is not talented, and is willing to give it a try. ”
The man with the big sword on his back respectfully bowed and listened to his words, it was Wang Shi's father, the Purple Knife Wang Man.
He is the deputy leader of the escort team, and he belongs to the same level as Wang Long, the deputy leader of the Eagle Guard, and his cultivation is unfathomable.
"Uncle Seven Immortals, Boyang is here for the same purpose. This is my junior who is not a weapon, Bo Yu. ”
Boyang and Wang Man said the same thing, it turned out that they both wanted to recommend their little dolls to worship in the knot grass house.
"That's it, it turned out that Lan Yan's kid showed his mouth. The grass house is simple, so I won't invite you to drink tea!" Uncle Seven Immortals closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, got off the bamboo chair, and said with his hands behind his back.
Elder Ye Sanye, Wang Man, and Elder Boyang said in unison that they didn't need to, and they were extremely respectful.
Among them, Boyang is the oldest, and he looks on a par with Uncle Seven Immortals, but he holds the gift of the younger generation, and he does not dare to overstep it, which makes Xiao Nan very awkward.
"Since you have come, it must be for the purpose of the alchemist. However, if you want to become an alchemist, the talent requirements are very demanding, and the spiritual root, understanding, and perception are all indispensable!"
Nanama slowly spoke and made a decision.
"The old man will open a round of evaluation for you today, as for your qualifications, it depends on your creation!"
Uncle Seven Immortals paced twice and pushed open the thatched hut on the west side of the cottage.
"Five little guys, come with the old man!"
