Chapter 20: Alchemy, just use the pot
Yuan Zhiyuan laughed: "My son should be like this, Dad supports you! What I hate most is the kind of cultivator who will do whatever it takes for the sake of the end!"
Xuan Ruyi suddenly said at this time: "Qiong'er, let me ask you, does Qian Juan's death have anything to do with you?"
Yuan Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I killed it." ”
He didn't hide it, and he didn't plan to hide it from his relatives, his father and Qian Fu clashed and injured even more, and Chu Yue was also implicated and frightened, and it was impossible for him to shirk his responsibility.
Yuan Zhiyuan said solemnly: "Qiong'er, tell me the whole story." ”
He is most worried that his son will become the kind of person who despises life, if this is the case, as a father, not only has a serious dereliction of duty, but also has an obligation to correct his child's mistakes, and must not let his child become a lawless murderer.
Seeing that his father had a straight face and his mother was silent, Yuan Qiong guessed the thoughts of the two, so he told the whole story of what happened with Qian Yue.
Yuan Zhiyuan's face eased at this time, and Xuan Ruyi's face was full of anger: "I didn't expect that kid from the Qian family to be so vicious, half a year ago, I saw Chu Yue washing clothes by the river, and he kept pestering, and then he came to the door to buy Chu Yue shamelessly, and was beaten away by me, but it made him resentful!
Qiong'er, don't worry, I'm here, if Qian Shen's turtle San dares to make a move on you again, I'll make him look good!"
Yuan Zhiyuan comforted: "Don't be angry, you are a lot older, and you are still as hot-tempered as when you were young." The important thing now is to find a way to settle this matter, Qian Shen has already made a killing move today, and he will definitely not give up. ”
Xuan Ruyi looked at his son: "Qiong'er, I think you should have already thought of a way, right?"
Yuan Qiong had a bitter face: "Mom, what kind of cultivation are you, why do you always know something?
"I'm busy enough to take care of your dad all day long, so I don't have that kind of effort," Xuan Ruyi said with a blank look.
"And how do you know everything?"
Yuan Zhiyuan explained with a smile: "Your mother learned the way of the formation talisman back then, but unfortunately she was biased, and the results of the two main courses of array and fu were average, but she was quite talented in divination and marriage."
Although he is now self-proclaimed and cultivated, to prevent his identity from being discovered, it is not difficult to calculate your fortune and misfortune. ”
"The Way of the Formation Talisman, is there still a category of cultivators?"
Yuan Zhiyuan recalled: "That's natural, your father and I practiced kendo back then, which is the so-called sword cultivation. Your mother is naturally a Formation Talisman Master.
Although they are both cultivators, they have different methods and abilities, and they have different occupations. ”
"Are there any other classifications for occupations?"
"Naturally, there is, but more than ten years have passed, and some of them I don't remember much anymore, and you will know when you enter the sect in the future. Oh, by the way, among all the professions, the Pill Medicine Master is the most popular and the most difficult to cultivate!"
Yuan Qiong suddenly realized that there was still this kind of division, which was like the division of subjects in the previous life, with the division of liberal arts students, science students, sports students, etc.
The three of them had unconsciously talked late at night, and Yuan Qiong didn't talk too much for the sake of his father's body, and ended this family meeting.
When he entered his room, Hatsuki was lying in front of his desk and was already asleep, while Wild Mountain was curled up on the futon next to the bed and fell asleep.
"Yue'er, don't catch a cold, go back to sleep. Yuan Qiong patted her on the shoulder.
Chu Yue rubbed her eyes and woke up, with an expression that she was not asleep: "Young master, are you going to sleep?" I will help you untie your clothes, and I will go to prepare water for you to wash your face and feet later." ”
Yuan Qiong took her hand and said distressedly: "You're too tired today, let's sleep first." ”
"How can this be done, I should do it to serve you!"
Yuan Qiong didn't care whether she agreed or not, and hugged her to the bed: "You are not just my maid now, today at the dinner table, my parents agree to the matter between the two of us." ”
Chu Yue's cheeks were rosy, and she nodded softly: "Thank you, young master, but this is the bed you sleep on, I'll sleep on the low couch next to me." ”
Because he has to take care of Yuan Qiong, over the years, Chu Yue has slept next to Yuan Qiong and can always take care of him.
Although the low couch is shorter than the bed, Xuan Ruyi treats Chuyue as if she were her own daughter, and the bed and sheets are treated the same as Yuan Qiong, and there is no difference.
There is a curtain between the couch and the bed, which respects the privacy of both parties.
"Silly girl, fall asleep like this, or I'll be angry. ”
Looking at Yuan Qiong's pretending to be angry, Chu Yue was amused, and remembered what Xuan Ruyi said to her in the side room: "Chu Yue, when you go out to worship the sect this time, after you two come back, you will do the family affairs!"
I've always treated you as my own daughter, and this time you're really a family with me. ”
The first moon did not shirk after a tiring day, and soon fell asleep at the bedside, and in the dream she had a sweet dream.
Yuan Qiong carefully covered her with a quilt.
......
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Yuan Qiong played a few sets of martial arts, and just finished his daily physical exercise, Cangnan hurriedly came to visit.
Although there was some surprise, it was also expected. Cangnan and Yuan Zhiyuan exchanged a few words, then went to find Yuan Qiong, and the two chatted in the courtyard.
"Yuan Qiong, I'm visiting today, I guess you know what it's for, right?"
"Naturally," Yuan Qiong took out a few heavenly and earthly treasures from his arms: "This is the material for refining the Yan Yan Spirit Pill, but the most important Yan Yan Spirit Fruit is still missing. ”
Cang Nan's face was a little ugly: "You can't refine it, it's not an excuse to make!"
"Township Chief, I found a treasure for you out of my own pocket, how can you doubt me!hey~" Yuan Qiong had a hurt expression in his heart.
Cangnan said embarrassedly: "It's me who is too anxious, Yuan Qiong, you say, which material is missing, I'll go and pick it! The old man has been tortured by this poison of withering glory for decades, and he really doesn't want to delay it any longer!"
Yuan Qiong took out the map that he had prepared long ago from his arms, which he had drawn last night: "Township Chief, this is the map I made, although it is a little ugly, it also roughly draws the place where the smell of material is."
You see that this red dot is where the location is, there is a white-winged tiger guarding this heavenly and earthly treasure with ten refining bodies, it is not easy to deal with, the township chief, you should be careful when picking. ”
Cangnan took the map, the corners of his mouth twitched, this map is not so much ugly, more like a portrait, he looked carefully for a long time to determine the location of the material.
Cangnan sighed with emotion: "Yuan Qiong, your painting is quite a bit of a misty artistic conception, don't paint it again in the future." In that case, I'll go and go back, and I'll be back by the afternoon at the latest. ”
Yuan Qiong hugged his fists and said: "Help the township chief have a smooth journey, I will tell my family teacher, prepare everything, and when the township chief comes back, you can refine the pill." ”
Cangnan came and went in a hurry, directly over the wall, and went towards the Apocalypse Forest.
When he walked away, Wild Mountain came back from outside: "This little old man has also arranged for manpower to be monitored outside the courtyard, for fear that you will run away." ”
"Old fox!"
Yuan Qiong scolded and stopped caring about this, and asked, "Now that everything is ready, we should also prepare things for refining pills." ”
Crazy Mountain looked confused and said, "What are you going to prepare?"
"Of course it's a furnace or something, don't you keep saying that you are the ancestor of all demons, these basic equipment should always be there, right?"
Crazy Mountain glanced at him: "When I broke the seal, there was only a wisp of remnant soul left, how could there be those rare things, otherwise I wouldn't be trapped in the dog's body now." ”
"Then you still let me help him refine the pill!" Yuan Qiong's whole person jumped up, it was necessary to say to Chu Yue, and add braised dog meat at noon.
Perhaps because he saw that Yuan Qiong's eyes were not good, Crazy Mountain did not sell Guan Zi again: "Although there is no furnace for different fire and alchemy, there are still other ways."
Tell your girl not to cook, wash the pot, and keep it for a while. ”
Yuan Qiong's eyes widened: "Are you going to take ......?"
Crazy Mountain nodded affirmatively: "That's what you think, alchemy, just use the pot." By the way, when the old man comes back, tell him that he can only give him two pills that have been refined.
In fact, one should be able to dissolve the poison in his body, if he hadn't been poisoned for too long and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to break the root, I would be reluctant to give two. ”
"How many can you refine in total?"
"That Heavenly Treasure seems to have produced about twenty fruits, and according to the refining power of the fifth layer, it can probably get about ten. ”
Yuan Qiong was taken aback: "Isn't it too dark, what if that old fox goes crazy?"
Crazy Mountain said disapprerovingly: "Not only will I only give him two, but I will also collect money." The cost of materials and labor made him pay 1,000 taels of silver.
In the past two days, I have been hungry and thin in your house, eating either rice or steamed buns, and just a little meat, and if I don't make some money, I will starve to death. ”
Yuan Qiong's face was black, are you a dog or a wolf, last night you let you eat half a pot of needle wolf meat and said that you didn't eat much! One thousand taels of silver, that is money that ordinary hunters may not necessarily earn in their lifetime!
"Wouldn't this be too tricky?" Yuan Qiong worried.
"Don't worry, not only will he not feel at a loss, but he will thank you in a hurry!"
Seeing that he looked confident, Yuan Qiong was no longer suspicious.
Yuan Qiong followed the instructions of the wild mountain and asked Chu Yue to leave a pot, although Chu Yue was very curious, but he still emptied one of the pots on the stove as instructed.
At first, Hatsuki was surprised by a puppy's words, but she didn't think it was strange when she got used to hearing it.
Wild Mountain taught Yuan Qiong the basic method of fire control by the stove. At first, Wild Mountain was preparing to refine it himself, but it turned out that the dog's body could not refine the pill at all.
In the end, he had to let Yuan Qiong replace him, and he guided on the side, taking advantage of the time when Cangnan had not returned from collecting medicine, to master the method of alchemy.
It's not that easy to do, and they learned quite quickly at first, but soon the two ran into trouble.
"I said don't push the true qi too hard, the fire is too big!"
Yuan Qiong was also a little annoyed, and had failed more than twenty times before and after.
Chu Yue sat together to cover his mouth and smiled, just now the young master and a little dog who was talking to people didn't know what they were fiddling with, the fire in the stove was sometimes big and small, as if it was being controlled by someone.
Yuan Qiong frowned and said, "Why is this fire control technique so difficult to practice, obviously I use it according to the formula!"
Wild Mountain rolled his eyes and said, "It's still that you are too weak, and your True Qi reserves are insufficient to continuously control the flames."
However, you can't be blamed entirely, the body of the monk in the refining period is not completely refined, and he cannot smoothly pull the true qi of heaven and earth into the body, and the true qi that is usually accumulated in the body is not enough at all.
If you reach the foundation building stage even stronger, then you will be able to freely attract the true qi of heaven and earth, and you will not have to worry about the situation that the true qi is exhausted and cannot be replenished.
What a mistake, I actually forgot that I can't refine the pill in my current state!
It seems that this elixir can't be refined, so you can just find an excuse to delay for a few days, and then we'll find a way." ”
Yuan Qiong said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to fool the past, the old fox came over early in the morning to urge, if I delay any longer, I'm afraid he will turn his face on the spot." ”
Yuan Qiong's face was full of sadness, and Chu Yue, who was sitting next to him cooking in another pot, asked, "Young Master, have you encountered any problems?"
Yuan Qiong sighed: "Yue'er, let me ask you, what if you are working and you feel that you have no strength when you are busy?"
Chu Yue smirked: "Young master, I haven't encountered this situation, but if you're hungry, eat something to replenish your strength." ”
Mad Mountain rolled his eyes.
"Eat......" Yuan Qiong muttered, and suddenly he thought of a way, got up and hurried back to the house, and took all the heavenly and earthly treasures he brought back last time to the kitchen, and put them aside in a clean wooden basin.
