Volume 3: The Storm Rises Chapter 512: Searching for Medicine

Time is tight, in the task, there is no sloppiness, Lu Yao did not dare to be careless, he saw the right time, with a light click of his fingers, the last taste of the medicinal herb Dragon Grass fell steadily into Qingyunding.

"Flutter!"

"it!"

Turning the dragon grass into the Ding, a puff of green smoke rose up, Lu Yao scolded, and the whole person instantly had the urge to smash Qingyunding. The green smoke was rising, the stench was tangy, all the medicinal materials were exhausted, and Lu Yao was also sweating profusely, but in exchange for failure.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lu Yao's heart was dripping blood, so many rare elixirs turned into ashes like this, and a small half-elixir was still not successfully refined.

"Don't be discouraged, failure is a common thing, what you should do now is to carefully review your every step and find out the crux of the problem, so that you can hope for success again." Lijiang also saw Lu Yao's disappointment and frustration, and said softly.

"Master, is it the wrong time for me to put in the dragon grass?" Lu Yao understood what Lijiang said, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't find the problem, and if he thought about it carefully, maybe there was only one reason.

"You are just pursuing the control of the heat, the weight of the medicinal herbs and the timing of entering the peak, but have you ever thought about your own state of mind when refining the Phantom Dragon Pill, what kind of mentality are you in alchemy, alchemy for the sake of alchemy, or do you regard alchemy as a cultivation?" Lijiang shook his head and asked rhetorically.

"Alchemy for the sake of alchemy?" Lu Yao muttered to himself and recalled the words of leaving Xinjiang, and suddenly understood after a long time.

Yes, Lu Yao is not only alchemy for the sake of alchemy, but also takes the result very seriously, with such a big tie in his heart, every move has been restricted, and he has to do every step well in order to keep improving, but he forgot what Lijiang once said when he first taught himself alchemy: Alchemy is also cultivation, and cultivating immortals is also cultivating the mind.

"You have been thinking about what the result will be before you put it into the dragon grass, your pressure is too great, you haven't noticed it yourself, although you have controlled the heat and grasped the right time, but you have neglected to control Qingyunding, Qingyunding has already had problems before entering the medicine, how can it succeed in the end?" Seeing Lu Yao's expression, he knew that Lu Yao should have figured it out, so he said the key to the problem.

"What the master said is that in order to succeed, I focused all my attention on the control of the heat and the timing of the medicine, but I ignored that Qingyun Ding also wanted me to control, and if I didn't control the Ding, failure was inevitable." Lu Yao blamed himself.

The problem was figured out, but all the medicinal materials had been burned to ashes, and it was impossible to do it again, unless he could meet someone like Wang Lao, so that he could have a chance to find these rare treasures again.

"You can go find the old man surnamed Wang again, maybe he will have a way." Just when Lu Yao was worried about the matter of medicinal materials, Lijiang suddenly reminded him: "The old man surnamed Wang didn't blink his eyes when he gave you these medicinal materials, which may mean that these things are not worth mentioning in his eyes." ”

Leaving Xinjiang is really a person who wakes up in a dream, and now looking back, at the auction at that time, even Lu Yao was moved when he saw these rare treasures, but Wang Lao didn't seem to be moved, presumably, these treasures in the eyes of others are really not worth mentioning in his eyes!

Lu Yao was going to call Wang Lao immediately and ask for advice, but when he picked up his mobile phone, he noticed that it was only five o'clock in the morning, and most people hadn't gotten up yet.

……

……

"Lu Yao, why did you remember to call me today, this old guy?" On the other end of the phone, Wang Lao said with a smile.

"Elder Wang, I'm really sorry, I called you so early, didn't disturb your rest, right?" When Lu Yao's cultivation ended, it happened to be seven o'clock in the morning, and after enduring it for a long time, he still couldn't help but dial Wang Lao's phone, and he was also very embarrassed to hear the other party say this.

"When people are old, they are less sleepy, and it is enough to sleep four or five hours a day, unlike you young people, who eat well and sleep well." Wang Lao sighed with emotion: "Say, if there is anything that needs my help, as long as I can do it, it is my duty." ”

Wang Lao was a soldier and a war, and his temper and temperament had changed a little because of his body before, but now his health is better, his mood is better, and he has regained his former heartiness.

"I can't hide it, the younger generation has some things that want to trouble Elder Wang." Lu Yao didn't have anything to be embarrassed about, and said bluntly: "I used up the medicinal materials that Elder Wang gave me last time, I want to ask Elder Wang, where can I still find these medicinal materials?" ”

"Then you can be regarded as asking the right person, if there is someone in Xijing City who knows that place, maybe it is me Wang Baichuan." Wang Lao said with some pride: "In Wengyuan County, which is subordinate to Xijing City, there is a wealthy businessman named Diao Wengui, who specializes in purchasing these things for some big people, you go to find him, maybe you will get something." ”

"Elder Wang, how can I contact him, presumably people like him don't usually deal with a little-known person like me, right?" Lu Yao listened to Wang Lao's words, and he was very excited, but he was not carried away by the excitement, he knew that all such people always had their own particulars, and not everyone could establish contact with him.

"You come to me, I'll give you something, you wear it to Diao Wengui, he should do things for you wholeheartedly." Wang Lao said with a smile.

“……”

The two chatted about some other things, Lu Yao set off to the Wang family's villa, although the distance between the two families is not only, but fortunately, they are all in the same villa group, Lu Yao walked for more than ten minutes to the Wang family, the last time in the Wang family's villa, Wang Lao hospitalized Lu Yao, everyone in the Wang family knows, the doorman saw Lu Yao coming, and immediately took him to the living room.

Since the last time he cured Wang Lao's old illness, the two of them haven't seen each other for a few days, and when they meet again, Lu Yao found that Wang Lao's mental state was even better than he imagined, and the whole person looked like he was more than ten years younger.

Lu Yao had breakfast with Wang Lao, Wang Lao handed him an envelope, and left.

……

……

Xijing City has nine counties and one city, Wengyuan County is one of them, Lu Yao and Tong Tiexin drove to Wengyuan County together, when they arrived at the county seat, Lu Yao knew why this person named Diao Wengui would choose to live here, because it is too close to Panlong Mountain, and the entire county can almost be said to be built on the mountain.

This reminded Lu Yao of a joke he had heard in Xinlu Province, saying that there was also such a small county town in Xinlu Province, with the terrain high in the west and east and west, and a piece of news passed through the city. The county lives in some ethnic minorities, everyone likes to eat a kind of food called "glutinous cake", and this kind of thing is like the size of a basin, the shape is also round, and the business that makes glutinous cake in this county is generally at the west end of the county, who wants to buy glutinous cake, only need to call the merchant, and then wait at the door of the house, the merchant will treat the glutinous cake by special means, and then throw it directly into a small canal, less than ten minutes, the stream will send the sweet and delicious glutinous cake to your hands.

Although this is a joke, but there is also his truth, the same is true in Wengyuan County at this time, a small stream introduced by man is also through the city, perhaps because someone manages it, or someone cleans it, the stream is exceptionally clear.

Tong Tiexin drove the alpha until it stopped at the place Wang Lao said, because of the luxury of the alpha, many people came to watch. Lu Yao asked Tong Tiexin to wait outside the door, and went in to visit Diao Wengui by himself.

"Is Boss Diao at home?" Lu Yao saw that although they were open, they did not directly enter through the door, but stood at the door and shouted inside.

"No, let's go!" An impatient voice came from inside, and the eviction order was directly issued.

"I was introduced by Mr. Wang Baichuan from Xijing City, and I asked Diao Wengui and Boss Diao for something!" Lu Yao didn't give up, and said tentatively.

This time, the voice was not answering Lu Yao's words, but an old man in Tang clothes walked towards Lu Yao from the back room, looked Lu Yao up and down several times, and asked without any emotion in his voice: "I am Diao Wengui, what are you looking for me?" ”

"You're Boss Diao?" Lu Yao heard that the old man's voice was the same as the voice just now, and asked.

"If you have something to say, please leave if you have nothing to do, I don't have time to waste your tongue here." Diao Wengui said with some displeasure at Lu Yao's suspicion of his identity.

Although he didn't answer, Lu Yao has now determined that this person is Diao Wengui, he exudes a strong medicinal fragrance everywhere, obviously a person who often deals with medicinal materials, and judging from these medicinal fragrances, it is obvious that the medicinal materials he deals with are not ordinary, including the smell of the medicinal materials that Lu Yao needs to refine the Phantom Dragon Pill.

"Elder Wang asked me to give this to you!" As Lu Yao spoke, he handed the envelope that Elder Wang gave him to Diao Wengui.

Diao Wengui didn't look at Lu Yao, tore it casually, and opened the envelope.

"Master Lu, rude and rude, please inside, please inside!" After reading what was written in the letter, Diao Wengui immediately changed his face and politely invited Lu Yao in.

Lu Yao followed behind Diao Wengui and thought to himself: Fortunately, it was introduced by Elder Wang, if he came recklessly, I am afraid that he will never be able to enter the gate of Diao Mansion.
