These days, in the days when Huang Fu Nan has not woken up, Xiao Yan goes to bed early and gets up early every day, except for taking care of Huang Fu Nan, that is, he and the man named Abin go up the mountain to chop wood, he doesn't think about anything, forgetting his identity as an immortal cultivator, forgetting his mission, and forgetting his responsibilities, and even forgetting who he is, just treating himself as an ordinary person, working at sunrise and sunset every day, and after a few days of ordinary people's lives, this makes Xiao Yan, who has been exhausted, feel very comfortable.

After these days of understanding, Xiao Yan learned that the brother and sister named Abin and Ali were a pair of orphans, and their parents were absent when they were very young, and the two brothers and sisters depended on each other since they were young and made a living by chopping wood.

Abin went up the mountain every day to chop wood, and occasionally he was lucky enough to pick one or two elixirs, and then he took these to the market not far away to sell, and used the money from the sale to buy some rice and noodles and other grains to take home, while Ali was responsible for cooking, washing clothes or something, but because they had no one to teach them, they were extremely unfamiliar with the elixir, and they didn't even know what they dug up each time, so they couldn't sell the elixir at a good price every time.

"Then why don't you sign up to go to that heavenly gate? They're supposed to recruit someone as young as you, huh? Xiao Yan got up early in the morning and went up the mountain to chop wood with Abin, and asked while chatting on the road.

"Yes, they do recruit students every year, but they recruit potential immortal cultivators, and I ...... And I was born with less than half of the meridians of ordinary people, so I couldn't cultivate, and naturally they wouldn't accept disciples like me. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Yan let out a long sigh, looking at Abin's expression, Xiao Yan knew that he had asked him about his sadness, "Then you can learn to recognize herbs, there should be a lot of elixirs in this mountain, if you learn it yourself, you won't be deceived by them." ”

"Alas!" Speaking of this, Abin seemed to be even more sad, "How can it be so easy, I once bought a book on this subject, and I also memorized the content of the book, but many elixirs look very similar, and their habits are different, often go to the pharmacy, they say that I destroyed the essence of the elixir when I picked it, or it took too long to destroy the medicinal properties, anyway, it was all kinds of faults, and the price given in the end was still very low, this kind of thing, without the teacher's teaching, just reading books is not good." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded silently, indeed, recognizing the elixir, although this is a very basic skill for their Dan Daoists, but if they want to get started, they have to be led by the master, otherwise the slightest deviation in the understanding of the medicinal properties of the elixir will affect the subsequent alchemy process.

Although for Abin and them, there is no need to have a thorough understanding of elixir like Dan Daoist and them, but the most basic knowledge of medicine and understanding medicine can not be learned by books alone.

"Do you want to learn?" Xiao Yan asked sideways, as a Dan Daoist, he is naturally well versed in this way, plus Abin has a life-saving grace for him, if Abin is willing, it is not impossible for him to complete this aspect of enlightenment for Abin.

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Abin immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Yan's words, although he couldn't cultivate, but from the temperament that Xiao Yan and the others revealed, he could also feel that they were by no means ordinary people, if they ......

"Yes! Of course I did! ”

"Although I am not a Dan Daoist, I still know a little about spiritual herbs and elixirs, if you don't dislike it, I can give you a little guidance." Xiao Yan didn't want to tell this Abin his true identity, not because he was afraid that Abin would betray him, but because he didn't want to involve him, he was a mortal, once he was involved, there would only be a dead end.

"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike! Abin hurriedly said that he wished that someone could teach him, but the fees of those gentlemen in the bazaar were too high for him to afford, otherwise he would have learned it long ago.

"Alright, let's start today!"

"Good!"

After that, Xiao Yan took Abin to go around the mountain, and every time he went to a place, he told Abin what the terrain of this place was, what the temperature was, whether it was humid or not, what kind of elixir was suitable for growth, and if he saw what kind of elixir was growing nearby, how to pick these elixirs, how to store them, etc.

At the end of the day, Abin didn't cut much firewood, but he did dig up a lot of medicinal herbs, which they were going to take to the market the next day and sell them.

……

On the other side, with the sudden disappearance of Xiao Yan and Huang Fu Nan, Yan Meng also launched a secret search for the two of them within a radius of several hundred miles, because Lu Feiyu said that although the empty bead could teleport thousands of miles, it was not able to fully mobilize it with Huang Fu Nan's strength at that time, plus he still had a comatose Xiao Yan, so they would definitely not run too far.

But after many days of carpet search, there is still no whereabouts of Xiao Yan and the others.

"What do you say? Now this Xiao Yan doesn't know where it is? How are we going to arrest him? ”

At the headquarters of the Yanmeng, Wan Jiangtao circled back and forth in the hall like an ant on a hot pot.

"Why are you in a hurry? He'll be back sooner or later! Lu Feiyu glanced at Wan Jiangtao and said, shaking his head secretly in his heart.

"I can remind you, the time given to us above is not much, if we don't catch him, the above will blame him, we will not have good fruit to eat!"

This reminded Luffy Yu, yes, the time limit was given before, and it has not been a long time, and it seems that this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

"Don't be afraid, since we can't find Xiao Yan, let him take the initiative to come to us!"

"Take the initiative to find us? Could it be ...... What's your best idea again? ”

"Hehe, since he refuses to show up, then let's force him to show up!"

"How do you force him to show up?"

"For a long time, the reason why Xiao Yan has not been caught is because he has too many helpers, and among these helpers, it is Huang Fu Nan who has helped him the most, don't they have a good relationship? Isn't it for each other to die? Then let's take the Huangfu family! When I saw Xiao Yan, would he still be able to hold his breath?

Hehe, Xiao Yan, I'm waiting for you at the headquarters! I hope you don't disappoint me! ”

……

Tianzi Mountain.

The next day, Xiao Yan and Abin came to the lively market with the herbs they had just collected yesterday.

After walking a short distance, Abin pointed to a pharmacy next to him and said, "Brother Yan (Xiao Yan's pseudonym used externally, Yan Xiao), you see, this is the pharmacy I have been selling herbs all along, Baicaotang." ”

After Xiao Yan went in with Abin, he observed this pharmacy, although this pharmacy is not very large, but the types of medicinal herbs are quite complete, at least the general medicinal herbs that can be seen on the market are available here.

"Abin is here? What are you going to sell this time? Seeing Abin come in, the owner of the pharmacy raised his head and greeted him warmly.

"Well, I'm going to sell these this time, shopkeeper, can you show me how much it's worth?" As he spoke, Abin took down the bamboo basket behind him and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes swept over the things in the bamboo basket, and the greed in his eyes flashed, and the shopkeeper dropped out all the herbs in Abin's bamboo basket, rummaged through the pile of herbs, and picked out a few herbs that Abin had come to change before.

"Abin, I didn't say you, what are you picking? Can you look at it before you pick it next time, you have these, and these prunella plants are still worth a little money, and the others are some waste products, see that you have memorized them so hard, or else, you see, this is a total of six prunella grass, two gold coins per plant, a total of 12 gold coins, plus this pile of waste products, I will give you a total of 15 gold coins, how about it? ”

Hearing his words, Abin's eyes were full of disappointment, he originally thought that so many herbs could be sold for more money this time, but he didn't expect that there was only so much.

Compared with Abin's disappointment, Xiao Yan was more angry, and now he finally knew why Abin's herbs couldn't be sold at a good price, it turned out that the root cause was here.

Without waiting for Abin to nod, Xiao Yan waved his hand directly, and all the herbs flew into the bamboo basket again, and then Xiao Yan threw the bamboo basket onto his back, pulled Abin and walked out.

"Abin, let's go, since he thinks these are scraps, let's go find a place that doesn't think it's scrap and sell them!"
