Chapter 853: Apprenticeship

It wasn't until the chief steward left that Xiao Tan dared to raise his head, and at this time he looked at the scorpion with a strange brilliance like a bright star, full of gratitude.

The scorpion smiled at Xiao Tan, whose face was full of black and ash, and said, "Now you can sue me if your name is Xiao Tan, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the villain is called Xiaotan!" With just one glance, the boy lowered his head again and answered in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"I remember last time you weren't so timid, and you weren't so careful in your words, isn't that the chief steward embarrassed you?"

When this sentence was asked, the scorpion felt inappropriate, this was an alchemy room, full of the eyes and ears of the chief steward, how could Xiao Tan tell the truth to himself? Sure enough, when I looked down, I saw Xiao Tan biting his lower lip, his hand clenched into a fist, and he should hold it without making a sound.

The scorpion smiled again, turned the topic over and asked, "Are your parents also on errands in the Divine Phoenix Palace?" I heard that not everyone can enter this alchemy room, you must have a certain bloodline, what are your parents doing now?"

Xiao Tan's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he said timidly: "My parents died in battle more than 20,000 years ago, when I was just an unhatched egg, stored at the foot of the hatching mountain, two thousand years ago, the elders put our batch of eggs into the hatching mountain to hatch...... I haven't met my parents! "

Although the scorpion did not have an exact impression of the battle, she also felt its tragedy, she sighed and said: "It's okay, as long as you survive, you heard what I said to the chief steward just now?"

Xiao Tan nodded heavily.

"From now on, you only have to obey my commands, and if anyone dares to make things difficult for you, or hinder you from doing things, you can sue me. In addition, I will explain to the people of the Shenfeng Palace, you don't have to pass it on when you enter and leave the Shenfeng Hall in the future, just wait in the side hall, in addition, I will also explain to the Shenhuang, if you have something urgent to find me. It's the same with looking for Shenhuang directly! The scorpion continued.

Xiao Tan still nodded heavily.

"In addition. The matter I have given you is a top secret and must not be mentioned to anyone! Can you do it?" The scorpion's expression became solemn and he said.

Xiao Tan didn't nod this time. Instead, he stubbornly raised his head and looked at the scorpion, and his eyes were extremely firm and assured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you want Xiao Tan's life, you can't pry Xiao Tan's mouth open. The task assigned by His Majesty, Xiao Tan will definitely do his best to complete it."

The scorpion didn't say anything more. Just smiled faintly.

In a moment, the long-bearded Lingxu Daoist followed behind the chief steward, walked up to the scorpion, and respectfully saluted the scorpion.

The scorpion smiled and asked him to sit down on the side of his hand. In addition, he also asked Xiao Tan to sit down on the other side, knocking out the chief steward who took three steps and turned around, unwilling to leave. Then he looked at the Spirit Void Dao Elder and said, "I can't remember most of the things in my previous life, but I heard Shenhuang say a few days ago. You are the Xi Alchemist here, and the pills I refined before I was reborn are all stored in your place?"

Lingxu Daoist immediately got up, stood with his hands bowed respectfully, and replied: "Your Majesty, store the elixir here in Lao Chen, Lao Chen has been carefully keeping, even if the ten elders all nodded and asked Lao Chen to take out the elixir, Lao Chen would also consider whether to use it, but now that His Majesty is back, he should return all of them to His Majesty, and I will make a detailed booklet of the use of pills for more than 20,000 years, and hand it over to His Majesty Shenfeng!"

"It's not in a hurry, I'm still more relieved to put things in your place, you better help me keep it first, I frowned when I saw you refining the pill just now, it seems that I have encountered some difficulties?" The scorpion said in a soft voice.

"Back to your majesty, this Dan is an extremely rare elixir in the ancient book, which has a taste of material, is a flower that takes thousands of years to bloom, and thousands of years to bear fruit old trees, His Majesty Xià discussed with Lao Chen, but it's a pity" Lingxu Dao Chang paused, looked at the scorpion, saw that the scorpion was not unusual, and continued, "This year coincides with the ripening of the fruit, and its juice can be refined by mixing it with other materials, but unfortunately the juice of this fruit is extremely squeamish, and the refining time will change the nature of a little longer, but the old minister has set the fire to the maximum, But it's still too long to refine, hey! For this, I and a few apprentices haven't closed our eyes for several nights! "

"What kind of elixir is so difficult to refine, what is the effect?" The scorpion asked curiously.

"This is an elixir that can make people completely invisible, the time is a stick of incense, in this time of sticking incense, no matter how strong the other party's spiritual power is, how much strength is better than yours, even if you are close, you can't be seen, but it's just a stick of incense!" Speaking of this elixir, the Spirit Void Dao Chief said with some excitement.

The scorpion touched his cheeks and said thoughtfully: "It sounds like a good elixir, and the flavor of the material in it is also quite precious, if you don't refine it successfully, you will be a little sorry for these special genius treasures!"

"In fact, that fruit is a little longer in the flowering period and growth period, the fruit is not nutritious at all, it is not a genius treasure, and although the growth period is longer, but a pill is made, the fruit is very considerable, full of fruit of a tree, if all the cultivation is an invisible pill, 100,000 million can come out, and refining is not difficult to master in addition to the fire, it is not difficult to produce a thousand in one pot, it is a high-yield pill, and other auxiliary materials are also very ordinary, it is a very low-cost pill!" Lingxu Dao Master explained.

"I'm calling you now, does it affect your alchemy?" The scorpion suddenly thought that an alchemist who had been refining the alchemy well was suddenly called away by himself, and the pills in that furnace were about to be scrapped, and he suddenly felt a pity, and his flesh hurt, and he couldn't help asking.

"When His Majesty sent someone to call Lao Chen, Lao Chen just failed!" Lingxu Dao Elder whispered, [,! Obscuratory.

"Then when is the next time I am going to open the furnace, I also want to see what kind of heat it is, which is so difficult to control!" The scorpion frowned and said seriously.

Lingxu Dao Chang was overjoyed, in his impression that Shenfeng is a genius among alchemists, all the unimaginable, no way to start the pill, to the hands of Shenfeng, that is, to catch the matter, this small stealth pill must be difficult to defeat Shenfeng, and think that Shenfeng was very obsessed with alchemy back then, often stayed in Dan Iridium, stayed for several days, can be described as an alchemy idiot, she has a great interest in all the pills, but for some reason, the reborn scorpion does not seem to be interested in alchemy at all, And it's more like a layman, and it's been some time since she returned to the Shenfeng Palace, but I've never seen her open a furnace and refine Dan, so the Lingxu Daoist also studied it by himself, and didn't report anything to the scorpion, but I didn't expect that this time the scorpion would take the initiative to ask for help, and the Lingxu Daoist hurriedly replied excitedly: "I'm going to try again tonight, I don't know if Your Majesty."

"Okay, tonight, I'll open the furnace when I come!" The scorpion directly interrupted the words of the Lingxu Dao Chief, and replied categorically.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lingxu Dao's lips trembled.

The scorpion smiled slightly and continued, "There is one more thing I want to ask you!"

"Your Majesty has something to order!" The Spirit Void Dao Master hurriedly replied.

"Xiaotan, this kid, have you seen it?" The scorpion cuts to the point.

Lingxu Daoist glanced at Xiao Tan up and down, frowned, seemed to be suspicious, looked up and down again, and then said strangely: "Isn't this child in the palace of His Majesty that day, and built a child for you?" I remember that he was a child under the seat of the Red Candle Daoist, and he learned alchemy from the Red Candle Daoist, why did he describe it like this?"

"I'm afraid that someone thinks that this kid has not had enough experience, so let him pick up coal!" The scorpion sneered.

"It's this kind of thing again, in order to keep their status, those people who have a little talent for alchemy will be stifled, and in the long run, how can our Shenfeng clan progress, how to refine novel pills!" Hearing the scorpion say this, the Lingxu Dao Master hurriedly complained angrily, and then raised his head and asked the scorpion, "Then what does Your Majesty mean by this?"

"I see that you only brought two apprentices, can you let this kid Xiaotan follow?" The scorpion asked directly.

"Very good, that day in the dormitory, the old minister was thinking that the red candle Taoist was really a good blessing, and he actually received such a talented apprentice, I am afraid that in a few years, the side of the red candle Taoist will overpower the old minister's side and become a seat, I didn't expect that the red candle Taoist was a master without eyeballs, and he lost this treasure in vain, rest assured, the old minister will definitely cultivate this child well, so that those short-sighted people know what is enduring!" Lingxu Dao Master said excitedly.

The scorpion nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, with the mind of the Dao Chief, this alchemist is none other than you!" Then he looked at Xiao Tan and reminded, "You still don't kowtow to the Lingxu Dao Master?"

Xiao Tan immediately stood up, walked to the Lingxu Dao Chief, kowtowed, and said, "The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!"

"Get up, get up!" The wrinkles on the face of the Lingxu Daoist are like blooming chrysanthemums, and he smiles brightly, the scorpion can't see it, the Lingxu Daoist really likes Xiaotan, the child.

Although Xiao Tan and Lingxu Dao Elder were both in an extremely excited moment, the scorpion still had to interrupt them and said solemnly: "There is one more thing!" After a pause, seeing Xiao Tan and Lingxu Dao Elder looking at him, the scorpion continued, "In addition to learning alchemy, Xiao Tan is also responsible for helping me do things, I have just explained to the chief manager, and Xiao Tan will only be in charge of me in the future, so if Xiao Tan takes any pills with you, please don't embarrass him, let alone ask where to go, just give him those pills, I will be useful!"
