The consequence of spending a lot of time opening the furnace for alchemy every day is that the immortal herbs accumulated in the hands of glutinous rice are decreasing at a very rapid rate.

It didn't take long in total, and the fairy grass in Nuomi's hands was quickly consumed.

She had specially matched all the fairy herbs in her hands, and she had made up enough recipes for one pill after another, and there was nothing superfluous.

It's just that in the process of opening the furnace, sometimes she can't use the immortal herbs at all, and she has already failed at the beginning, and the immortal grass that needs to be invested in the future has been saved by her. She couldn't directly skip the original fairy grasses and directly refine all the fairy grasses in the back into medicinal liquid, even if she really did this, she wouldn't get any benefits.

The prescriptions of these elixirs have been studied for thousands of years, and the order of adding immortal grass in the middle has also been fixed, and she has refined those medicinal liquids separately in advance, which is not helpful for opening the furnace.

In addition to these separate leftover fairy grasses, there are no more fairy grasses that can be used to open the furnace for alchemy.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to refine all these immortal herbs into medicinal liquids, just to give them to those scattered cultivators in the courtyard. Therefore, she stopped the furnace, and then went outside again to take a few broken contracts, and began to refine the unpopular pills that she was most familiar with.

When she started refining those pills again, she found that her current alchemy technique seemed to have suddenly risen all at once. Originally, some places that I didn't understand at all and could only be copied are now understood quite smoothly, and it is very simple to control the spiritual fire to refine the medicinal liquid of those immortal grasses, and then fuse them together, and then condense them into pills.

Even the recipe used when Ning Dan was used, the glutinous rice can see a little trace of it. I finally understood why there were always subtle differences in the techniques used in different pills.

The refining time of these pills was not fixed, but once she understood the trick of this intermediate matching, there was actually a more convenient way to refine these pills. It's just that most of these methods require a subtle understanding of the properties of immortal herbs before they can be boldly improved. Even if these methods are explained to ordinary new alchemy apprentices, they must not be able to do it.

Nuomi also knows that learning alchemy is not such a simple thing. She didn't have a master, and she didn't have enough jade slips for her to study, so she had to explore it on her own, and the setbacks she experienced in the middle must have been much more than the ordinary alchemy apprentices who were brought into the door.

Thinking about it this way, glutinous rice has never received a formal education in alchemy. On the top of Qingquan Peak, even if there is a scripture pavilion, the jade slips hidden in it are not real teachings, mixed with the thinking and research of many senior monks on alchemy. Some of them are inspiring, while others are full of mistakes and omissions, and they may disagree with each other at all.

When passing on the scriptures, it was impossible for those senior uncles and senior uncles to teach the real alchemy to the miscellaneous disciples, which was only equivalent to introducing some of the most basic common sense used in the immortal cultivation world to them, which was very similar to the school in this Xianyi City, but it was just a little deeper.

And after becoming a medicine refining boy, glutinous rice has not been allocated by the master at all. Even later, when Qingming Zhenren wooed her in order to get the spirit fruit doll, he pointed out to her, and he didn't mention the methods related to opening the furnace alchemy at all, but just explained to her a little bit about the big road goods such as the Qi Nourishing Heart Sutra, and then explained some spell-related knowledge to her, which was not much different from what the uncles who passed on the exercises in the scripture pavilion said.

Nuomi just encountered the problem of opening the furnace alchemy, and she didn't dare to ask it in front of Qingming Zhenren, so she naturally had to explore it behind her back.

It's amazing to have such an outcome. If you want to go further, you can't do it just by being impatient.

She originally felt a little anxious, but later saw that repentance was outside, and she greeted those things outside with the same smile every day, so she also learned to calm down slowly, while opening the furnace to refine some unpopular pills, in exchange for spirit stones to buy more fairy grass to continue to practice the furnace.

On this day, glutinous rice was refining the Qingxin Pill as usual, and was about to take it outside to exchange some fairy grass with Lu Zong's caravan, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The knock on the door was a little hesitant, and it rang a little twice, then stopped, and after a while, it rang again.

Glutinous rice was in the last stage before condensing the Dan, when he heard this knock, he was stunned, but he didn't dare to open the door distractedly, so he shouted to the door, telling the people outside to wait, and then he used his hands to fold a handprint on his chest, and through the guò handprint, the divine consciousness ran around the outside of the Dan furnace, and condensed the medicine inside the Dan furnace into a pill.

I only heard a slight "pop" sound in the Dan furnace, and the lid of the furnace was lifted at the same time by the overflowing fairy qi that erupted out, and a strange fragrance followed, straight in front of people.

Glutinous rice sniffed the aroma of the medicine in the air, and confirmed that there was no problem with the pills in the Dan furnace, so he smiled with satisfaction, and used the true yuan force to control the pills in the Dan furnace to rise into the air, and automatically put them into the small jade bottle next to them.

After all this was done, Nuomi raised her hand and wiped the thin sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, turned around and walked to the door, and opened the door.

"I'll tell you to wait." Nuomi opened the door as she spoke, still guessing in her heart who came to the door.

There were quite a few people who had come to her room, and each one had a distinctive character. For example, Huāmian is gentle and gentle when he knocks on the door, and the little steward who often comes to collect the rent is very polite when he knocks on the door, although he is hurried, but he is not boring.

A gentle and hesitant knock like this now, Nuomi heard it for the first time.

The people standing outside didn't answer Nuomi's words, and they all told her to think that the man couldn't wait to leave. When she opened the door, she almost bumped into the boy standing outside.

It was really that he was standing too close to the door, almost standing against the door panel, and when Nuomi looked at the door, he looked out, and almost collided with the young man. Although she was taller than the boy, she was taken aback by being so close to the same boy now, and her face turned red in an instant.

The young man was obviously taken aback, and quickly took a step back, where was there any indifference in his eyes, full of shyness, and took another step back, only then did he lower his head and whisper "I...... My dad called me over...... Ask ......"

Nuomi was originally startled, but it could be seen that this young man was even more frightened than her, and she slowly calmed down again. Thinking that the two didn't bump into each other after all, their hearts followed with a wide range.

It had been a long time since she had spoken well to the boy.

She had been very concerned about this boy since the last time he pushed her away with cold words, but unfortunately this boy always came and went in a hurry, and after Repentance lived next to him, this boy appeared in the courtyard even less.

As soon as she saw it this time, Nuomi immediately noticed a very obvious scar on the young man's face, which was near the corner of his mouth, and there was a large bruise. Even the young man's delicate thin lips were a little swollen, and there were several cracks. In the corner of his left eye, there was a barely visible wound, redder than the skin next to him. If it weren't for the fact that this young man's skin was fairer than ordinary people, this injury might not have been visible, and it could be seen that it was a scar for a long time.

In the place where the boy's collar was covered, there were faint traces of bruises. It's just that this young man seems to try his best to hide the scars on his body, and when he looks down, he always cares about keeping these wounds in the dark. That is, he is now standing in front of Nuomi, and Nuomi has discovered these traces on his body.

"You ......" Nuomi opened her mouth, originally wanting to ask if the young man was scolded by his father, but was interrupted by the young man.

"My dad asked me to come over and ask if you still have any medicine in your hand, and asked me to come over...... Come here......"

The boy was a little cold but very overwhelmed repeating his words, looking a little incoherent.

Nuomi listened a little and found that the young man was just talking the same sentence back and forth, and suddenly looked up and behind him with a sense of understanding. I saw the top of the room across a courtyard, and sure enough, I saw Zhou Dong standing in front of the window, staring at this side deadly, his eyes unblinking, and he looked directly at this young man.

No wonder this young man, who had been somewhat cold and haughty, was suddenly willing to give in, and stood in front of her door to say something like begging.

Nuomi thought about it, bit her lip, and simply reached out and grabbed the young man's sleeve.

The young man was immediately startled, suddenly stopped his babbling, and looked up at the glutinous rice with some horror.

Glutinous rice was half a head taller than him, and his strength was greater than that of the young man, so he pulled it hard, and directly pulled the young man into the room, and did not forget to turn around and close the door.

As soon as he arrived in the room, the young man who had been chattering immediately closed his mouth. The horror on his face had not yet faded, and there was some vigilance in his eyes, and he looked at the glutinous rice quietly.

As soon as Nuomi turned around, she saw the young man staring at her, she was also a little overwhelmed, and she was stunned for a long time, and then she held back a sentence for a long time and asked, "You...... Won't you sit down...... Do you want to drink water? ”

The boy suddenly looked at the glutinous rice like a demon beast. (To be continued.)
