Luo Chen looked at the rusty iron sword in his hand, and froze in place for a while, at a loss.

Jing Nan walked over, patted Luo Chen's shoulder, and said: "This sword and sword tea "Qingfeng" is a sword, it is even stronger than the one I gave them, you, you must keep it well, if you lose it, the old man will not spare you!"

Jing Nanpo patted Luo Chen's shoulder again meaningfully, turned his head and walked back to the martial arts arena.

Luo Chen looked at the broken sword in his hand, put it away preciously, and turned around to leave the martial arts arena. At this time, the children on the martial arts arena whispered, and they all agreed that Luo Chen had missed the way of cultivating barbarians, and Jing Nan's move was to comfort him, but the iron sword soldiers were indispensable for hunting and warfare in the barbarian mountains, so they had to prevaricate him with a broken sword.

"Ahem. Jing Nan coughed softly, and the children immediately fell silent. Jing Nan said as he walked, "Do you know what a sword is?"

"Yes, it's a weapon. One child replied.

"That's right, it's a weapon. Jing Nan said with a smile: "But this knife, gun, club, axe, knife, fork, hammer, chain, boring whip can all be regarded as weapons." But this sword is not one of them. ”

The children looked at each other in a fog and asked, "Why isn't the sword lined up with other swordsmen?"

"Those swords and soldiers are all in the ancient period of ignorance, and the ancient barbarians survived for hunting, and the things they created were hunting tools. And swords are different. Jing Nan said with a murderous face: "The sword is the first soldier born specifically for killing people throughout the ages, so the sword is a weapon for killing!"

Luo Chen returned to his stone house, and he placed Jing Nan's sword in the corner of the room. He sat on his stone bed, he knew that the martial arts arena was no longer a place for him to practice, and the sweat he had once dripped on it, and the martial arts he practiced on it, I am afraid that he would never use it again in his life. Luo Chen lay on the bed with a lonely face.

At this time, there was a knock on Luo Chen's door, and a voice said softly:

"Luo Chen... How are you. ”

"Master?" Luo Chen turned over and sat up. Opening the door of his room, a middle-aged barbarian woman stood there, this woman had a beautiful face, and her body was filled with an elegant atmosphere. This is exactly the wife of the alchemist Beilin. Luo Chen has been studying medicine refining from Beilin for two years, so he should call this woman his master.

"Master, please come in!" Luo Chen hurriedly welcomed her in. Shi Niang entered the room and sat on the stone bed, touched Luo Chen's head and said, "I know all about the blood ceremony, you have to open a little." ”

Shi Niang's palm is very warm, and the power of family affection is transmitted. Luo Chen nodded and said, "Well, I'll take my time." ”

"Actually, you don't have to be a barbarian to have power, you see the master, a first-order ordinary man, without any cultivation, the master is a barbarian of the fifth layer of blood coagulation or willingly married your master. Shi Niang smiled and said: "Because, the alchemist has the most special identity in the barbarian tribe, not only can he cure diseases and heal people in ordinary times, but also can make poison and poison large desolate beasts for the tribe." It can also refine elixirs for the barbarians in the tribe to help them increase their cultivation. Even in tribal wars, alchemists are extremely threatening. This is also the reason why your master, as a mortal, has been in and out of the Great Wilderness for many years without incident. ”

"Master is so powerful?"

Luo Chen asked. He practiced martial arts most of the time on weekdays, and pursued cultivation to become a barbarian, and occasionally went to his master to learn alchemy. And Beilin was silent, he didn't expect that the always elegant master would go in and out of the wilderness alone for many years without incident.

"Of course, your master has an eighth-order poison pill on his body, and as soon as the demonic beast smells the smell of the poison pill, it naturally doesn't dare to attack your master easily. ”

"Eighth-order poison pill. Luo Chen gasped. It turned out that the master who was a first-order mortal clan actually had an eighth-order poison pill, which was a poisonous medicine that could poison and kill eighth-order demon beasts and threaten the blood-condensing eighth-layer barbarians.

Seeing that Luo Chen's mind had been provoked, it seemed that it could help him get out of the shadow of being unable to practice, so she smiled and said: "There are five elements in the world, mutual growth and mutual restraint, people always have a way to strengthen themselves, even if we can't get what we want, we can find a replacement." ”

"Shi Niang is right!" Luo Chen stood up and bowed to her, "Since I can't become a barbarian, there must be another way out for me in the heavens!

"Haha, that's right!" Shi Niang smiled: "You, you used to be playful, and the medical skills you learned were only enough to cure some typhoid skin diseases, not enough to refine the arts, and the road to cultivation is still long." ”

"Yes! The disciple is not good at learning. Luo Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, why don't we go back to the master's house, I can also practice the art of alchemy as soon as possible, I don't want to continue to waste time." ”

"Well, it's okay, but your master has gone to the patriarch now, and it seems that there is something important to discuss, so let the master teach you first. ”

She led Luo Chen through the scattered stone houses and came to the outside of her stone house. Although the stone house of the Beilin family is not exquisitely decorated, it is the largest of all, and there is a big tripod in it all the year round, this tripod is the treasure of the Manshan Department for hundreds of generations, the medicine refining tripod, as the saying goes, the old ding is the treasure medicine, and every medicine refining tripod is the lifeblood of the alchemist. From afar, you can smell the smell of herbs wafting from the stone house.

The two entered the stone house, and as soon as they entered the house, the smell of herbs became stronger, and in the center of the room was the old medicine pod, which was thick and thick, and the color was as deep as black gold, and it was painted with complicated herbs. There is burning firewood under the ding, as if refining medicine. In the corner of the room, there are rows of tall shelves, filled with various herbs and some steamed and dried poisonous insect bodies.

"Your master doesn't know what kind of wind he smoked, since he met the patriarch yesterday, he has been refining medicine even night, refining some pills that dissolve the great wilderness and a hundred poisons, as well as some poison pills. As she spoke, Shi Niang added some firewood to the Ding.

"It seems that your master is going to the Great Wilderness again. ”

Shi Niang took out a book of alchemy, handed it to Luo Chen, and asked him to read it intently. This alchemy book is also made of animal skins, it is very thick, and it is estimated that there are thousands of words recorded on it. There are seventy-two volumes in the book, and each volume is so thick. It is a treasure that has been passed down from the ancient times of the Manshan Tribe, and it is said that if you can read the whole book, you can also go to the whole world. It's a pity that there are only seven volumes left in the Manshan Division, and all the rest have been lost in the long river of time due to war or natural disasters. And this volume in Luo Chen's hand is the first volume.

The frontispiece reads: "Born a god, weak and able to speak, young and neat, long and sensitive, and ascended to heaven." ”

Luo Chen went deep into it, reading and remembering, where there was a place where he didn't understand his meaning, and he still couldn't understand it after careful consideration, he asked his teacher.

Before I knew it, half a day had passed, and it was almost noon. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, it turned out to be the laughter of Beilin, who had always been taciturn, and he pushed open the door with a big grin, holding a white jade bottle in his hand. Regardless of Luo Chen's absence, he rushed over happily, hugged his wife, kissed him fiercely, and said, "Wife, I finally found it!

Shi Niang pushed Beilin away, and said coquettishly: "Luo Chen is still there, you don't know what to pay attention to, what's wrong?"

"A wisp of blood!" Bei Ling picked up the white jade bottle, slowly opened the cap, and looked around, a wisp of blood floated quietly in the center of the bottle, and exuded a powerful demonic power.

"Look at it, what a wonderful and powerful blood!" Beilin couldn't help but laugh wildly.

"It is indeed a very strong demon power, I am afraid that it is the essence blood that only a very high-level demon beast can have. Shi Niang paused and said, "But how can this blood have such a strong evil spirit, it is very fierce." ”

"Of course, how can a non-ferocious demon beast be so powerful, we still need to refine it. Beilin smiled: "It's really a broken iron shoe, I didn't expect that the visit of the Hengshan Department yesterday would give such a big gift!"

"This is sent by the Hengshan Division, how can they be such a weak tribe to get such a high-level demon blood!?"

Bei Lin looked at Luo Chen beside him, waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you about this matter later." ”

"Eh, is it inconvenient for me to be here?" Luo Chen asked knowingly.

"No! It's just that things are complicated, it doesn't matter if you know it or not!" Bei Lin walked up to Luo Chen's side and said with a show off: "Good apprentice, you also come to take a look at the essence blood of this high-level demon beast!"

Luo Chen slowly stretched his head over, only to see that there was indeed a red bloodshot floating in this bottle, this bloodshot had no basis, but it could float in the air, and it was not ordinary at a glance.

"That's a good thing!" Luo Chen praised.

Beilin smiled and nodded. Luo Chen still wanted to take a closer look at this blood, but it suddenly broke out with a powerful attack, and the demonic power skyrocketed, and this trace of blood was red in an instant, and a breath of death rushed straight to Luo Chen.

"Smack!"

Bei Lin quickly tightened the mouth of the bottle, and the terrifying demonic power also disappeared. Bei Lin said with palpitations: "This thing is not generally aggressive! If you are not careful, you will have an accident, you have to refine it quickly! Otherwise, there will be an incident!"

Bei Lin hurriedly put the white jade bottle in a secret place, and Shi Niang was also very nervous. But Luo Chen's heart was faintly uneasy, he obviously felt the killing intent attached to the blood, this was not the aggressiveness of the blood itself, but it was specifically aimed at himself... Killing Intent!

After Beilin placed the white jade bottle, he appeared in front of Luo Chen again, at this time he was no longer as arrogant as he was just now, and the elegant aura between his eyebrows was emanated, as if he had changed someone. He called Luo Chen to his side, touched Luo Chen's head and said, "I also know about the blood ceremony, but recently the patriarch has come to me to discuss important matters, and I will have time to visit you in the future." But you don't have to be discouraged, if you can't be a barbarian, just follow the master to learn alchemy, and if you succeed in the future, you may not know who is better!"

"Yes!" Luo Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, master, I have already thought about it, I was born as a human being, I need to be worthy of my fate, if I can't make a career, it is not as good as the rotten leaves in the late autumn and the rotten stones in the mire!"

"Haha, that's right!" Bei Lin nodded and said: "You are gifted and intelligent, you have the ability to never forget, you are bold and careful, you have perseverance and perseverance, although you are still young, but there is no one more suitable for passing on my mantle than you in the entire Barbarian Mountain Department!"

"Master, the disciple must do his best to practice!" Luo Chen bowed heavily.

"I believe in you. Bei Lin stared at Luo Chen's eyes, and after looking at it for a while, he said with a little meaning: "Those seven volumes of alchemy books are all owned by you now!"

Before Bei Lin's words fell, Shi Niang walked over with seven volumes of alchemy pill books and handed them to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The disciple just wants to learn some skills, this book is valuable, it is related to inheritance, you should teach it to Beiling!"

"In ancient times, there was Zen and there was a capable, and there was no fixed inheritance of alchemists in ancient times!" Bei Lin stuffed the alchemy book into Luo Chen's hand, then got up and paced, and said, "The alchemy of my Bei family is still passed down from the Wang family." You are the most suitable candidate for the Manshan Division, and besides, the master is going out to the wilderness, so it doesn't matter if you go to ...... ”

"Master, what's the matter?" Luo Chen felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Take the alchemy book, go back and practice quickly, the master wants to refine the medicine for three days, and no one needs to disturb him!" Bei Lin suddenly shouted indifferently at Luo Chen as if he had changed someone. Luo Chen had no choice but to nod yes. Took the alchemy book and left.

Three days later, the stone house of Beilin brewed a majestic demonic aura, like thousands of demon beasts attacking the barbarian mountain in unison, the momentum was terrifying, it is said that Beiling practiced the ninth-order blood pill, which is a highly poisonous thing that can poison the ninth-order demon beasts and the ninth-layer barbarians who coagulated blood, and the entire Great Wilderness cannot find a poison pill that is more poisonous than this.

Before Bei Lin left, he said to Luo Chen that if they did not return to the tribe within a year, then the medicine tripod would belong to Luo Chen, and from now on, the title of the alchemist of the Barbarian Mountain Department would also belong to Luo Chen.

On the second day after the Beilin couple left, the patriarch of the Manshan tribe announced that they were all ready to fight!
