In the early morning of the next day, Yang Ming carried a bamboo basket full of medicinal herbs on his back and followed Weng Lao up to Asahi Mountain.

The Martial Arts Academy is located in the westernmost part of Chaohua County, the capital of Jiang State, in order to allow students to cultivate with peace of mind, King Jiang strictly forbade any ordinary people to live within one kilometer of the surroundings, and outside the entire Martial Arts Academy, even the air was filled with a solemn calmness, which was enough to see that Jiang Guo attached great importance to the Martial Arts Academy. And after the Shuwu Academy is the famous mountain of Chaohua County, Asahi Mountain. On weekdays, it is shrouded in light fog, like a fairyland, and it is a good place for cultivation with beautiful mountains and rivers. A mountain and a courtyard, echoing each other, such a magnificent momentum, spontaneously a sense of majesty.

As a result, the Martial Arts Academy was divided into two major cultivation areas, the main courtyard under the mountain and Mount Asahi. The main courtyard under the mountain is mainly for ordinary students to practice, including teaching buildings, dormitories, canteens, martial arts training grounds, and courtyard bamboo forests. And in Asahi Mountain, only the students who are listed as excellent students are qualified to cultivate, the higher the status, the higher the place of cultivation, and the mountain is beautiful, the sun is prosperous during the day, and the [Taiyao] light can be seen from the top of the mountain to the center of the continent, although it is weak, but it feels precious.

In the six months since he was admitted to the hospital, Yang Ming has been looking forward to one day being able to come to Asahi Mountain to practice, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity. And today, in order to help Yang Ming refine medicine, Weng Lao specially made an exception and took Yang Ming to climb Asahi Mountain, and he was happy and a little more moved, Yang Ming secretly made up his mind that he must repay Weng Lao's heart. At the same time, Yang Ming also had a little curiosity about Weng Lao's teacher in his heart, he had never heard of Weng Lao having a teacher before, and in terms of qualifications, Weng Lao could be regarded as an old man from the Martial Arts Academy, so Weng Lao's teacher must not be the old man among the old people, at least eighty or ninety years old.

After walking for a long time, I went around and around a lot of roads during the period, and there were inaccessible paths all the way, so hidden, which made Yang Ming's curiosity a little more. At this time, the sun is getting higher, and a small courtyard full of strong medicinal smell appears between the mountain roads, and the courtyard is surrounded by lush green trees, which makes people sigh that it is a quiet and quiet place.

Looking at the deep courtyard, Weng Lao stopped, "When I arrive, I'll go first and tell the teacher, and you will be here for a while." ”

After the entrustment, Weng Lao walked into the small courtyard with the secret recipe, and after about a quarter of an hour, he saw Weng Lao come back with a smile on his face, "Hahaha, it's really your luck, the teacher is very interested in your secret recipe and wants to see you." ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming was overjoyed, "So, Weng Lao's teacher can refine this medicine?"

"That's natural, otherwise the teacher wouldn't have seen you. Weng Lao stroked his beard, thinking that this trip was not in vain.

As Weng Lao walked into the small courtyard, a row of green trees shaded thatched huts came into view, but Weng Lao bypassed the thatched huts and came to the edge of a medicine field behind the house, the breeze came slowly, and the rich smell of medicinal herbs naturally entered the heart and spleen, among which there was a wisp of strange fragrance that was particularly tempting, like the elegant fragrance of flowers in the flower garden, smelling it was heart-wrenching, without any consciousness driven, the eyes naturally looked over, in the medicine field, a pure white shadow was leaning over to smell a medicinal fragrance, like a butterfly orchid blooming in the green grass.

Hearing the footsteps of the comer, the girl raised her head, at this moment, the young man and the girl's eyes met in the breeze, as if the spirit was a moment, Yang Ming was slightly stunned, the girl wore half of the silver mask, at the bridge of the girl's nose, appropriately traced a crescent moon arc, like a bend of the moonlight covering the upper half of her face, only revealing two red lips like cherry blossoms, and a pair of black eyes flashing with crystal aura, and both hands also wore a pair of white gloves, like clouds covering the mist, people can't help but reverie.

At this moment, Weng Lao broke this beautiful silence, "Little Teacher Caiyin, he is Yang Ming." ”

Stunned for a moment, Yang Ming looked at Weng Lao who bowed over in shock, and then looked at the petite shadow, about twelve years old, delicate face, small and moving figure, it was hard to imagine that she was actually a medicine wizard, and she was also Weng Lao's teacher, you know, Weng Lao has a long history, although he is not the first in Jiang Guo, but he is also a well-known medicine wizard.

"Elder Weng, are you kidding, is she your teacher or your granddaughter?"

With a shake of his face, Weng Lao said seriously: "The way of refining medicine is who is highly educated, who is the teacher, and it has nothing to do with age." Teacher Cai Yin is more talented than me, and his alchemy level is above me, so he is naturally my teacher. ”

Hearing such words, the girl smiled lightly, and her voice came from under the veil, as crisp as a silver bell, "Grandpa Weng, don't make fun of me, I'm embarrassed to call me like this again." ”

"It's a fact, and there's no point in making fun of it. ”

Cai Yin no longer cared, her beautiful eyes turned, and her gaze fell on Yang Ming, "The secret recipe that Grandpa Weng showed me is yours?"

"Yes, can you refine this medicine?"

"This secret recipe is extremely mysterious, and the pharmacology contained in it is also very strange, but it is not impossible to refine this medicine, but I am a little curious, where did you get this secret recipe, and who wrote it?"

"This is my family's ancestral secret recipe, I don't know how it came about. Yang Ming said perfunctorily with a dry smile. Yang Ming didn't deliberately hide it, he just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"That's right. Blinking her eyes, Cai Yin said in a regretful tone, "To be able to write such a mysterious secret recipe, I believe it must be a great medicine wizard, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see it." ”

"Yang Ming, isn't it that your ancestor used to be a medicine wizard?"

"Perhaps, but now it's just a civilian. Yang Ming touched the back of his head and said with a dry smile. Speaking of his family history, Yang Ming remembered Zu Ze's words again, Zu Ze said that his family status was prominent more than nine hundred years ago, but what kind of illustrious family was, what was his family's surname, who was his father, and so on, Zu Ze kept everything about the family secret.

Cai Yin smiled slowly, but her expression was full of curiosity about Yang Ming, after crossing this topic, Cai Yin looked at the bamboo basket on Yang Ming's back, and asked slowly, "Have you brought all the medicinal materials needed for refining medicine?"

"It's all brought. Looking at Cai Yin's serious expression, Yang Ming knew that Cai Yin was about to refine medicine, so he hurriedly took off the bamboo basket behind him and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's get started. ”

......

In the quiet thatched hut, there was a strong medicinal fragrance gradually rising, Cai Yin raised slightly, took off the white gloves, and revealed a snow-white and delicate wrist from the white sleeves, and in front of her, several medicinal herbs seemed to be lifted by invisible thin threads, suspended and floating, wisps of green silk gas slowly seeped out from the medicinal materials, and the gas seemed to be gurgling water, converging into Cai Yin's body, rotating, winding, and slowly forming a ball of spherical gas.

Among the herbs, the girl's elegant and indifferent temperament is like a clean lotus out of the dust, which is extraordinary, and people can't help but guess what kind of beauty will be under the mask.

Yang Mingwang was fascinated, but there were footsteps behind him, "What an incomparable talent." ”

Weng Lao smiled, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure, "All medicine refining requires the help of fire to catalyze the effect of medicine and refine the medicinal power. But Cai Yin is different, she doesn't need to use flames, she can extract the required medicinal power from medicinal herbs with a pair of small hands, like probing for things, coupled with her innate perception of medicine, she can judge the quality of medicinal herbs at a glance. Such a talent is really envious of others. ”

"She must be a fairy. Yang Ming praised selflessly, almost intoxicated by the fragrance of medicine in the room.

"Oh, that's a pity. Weng Lao's tone changed suddenly, and his tone was a little more regretful, "I have such a talent, but I also have a hard life." ”

"Miserable?"

Elder Weng sighed, and then told Yang Ming about Cai Yin's life experience.

Seven years ago, Jiang and its neighbor Rongguo provoked a war because of a border dispute. At that time, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, Shen Mo also participated in this battle. In a battle with the enemy, Shen Mo accidentally fell into the enemy's trap, was wounded by a poisoned arrow, and when his life was dying, he met a five-year-old girl, although the girl was in rags, but with a small hand, she led out the poison in Shen Mo's place, such amazing medical skills, even the famous medicine wizard in Jiang China couldn't do it, let alone just a five-year-old baby. After Shen Mo woke up, he asked the girl's name and residence, but the girl was silent, only knowing that her parents were no longer in the world, in order to repay the little girl's life-saving grace, after the war, Shen Mo took her back to the Xiuwu Academy and named her Caiyin.

Because Cai Yin's origin is unknown, and she has strange arts, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Mo built a medicine house for her in Asahi Mountain and hid her, and since then, Cai Yin has been living a simple life in the mountain. After seeing Caiyin's alchemy, Weng Lao was deeply attracted by this girl's magical talent for alchemy, and immediately worshipped Caiyin as a teacher.

"So that's the case, but why does she wear a mask?" After hearing this, Yang Ming suddenly felt pity, thinking that he was also an orphan, and he felt even more empathy.

"Hey, I don't know, maybe there's something unspeakable. However, you kid don't bully people because of this, Teacher Caiyin is a good girl. Weng Lao instructed him a little sternly, and after Yang Ming heard this, he picked his nose lightly, patted his chest and said, "I'm just curious, if Cai Yin is unwilling, I naturally won't ask more." What's more, this beautiful woman, how can we ordinary people and ordinary people have a glimpse of the beauty!"

Maybe it was because of hearing Yang Ming's words, Cai Yin's little hand suddenly shook, and her cheeks were slightly red, if it wasn't for the mask to cover it, she would definitely be noticed by the two people inside and outside the house at this moment.

After a long time, the gas that continued to flow out of the medicinal materials gathered more and more, and the color gradually became inky black, reflecting the faint dark light, just as the gas gradually thickened, the sweat on Cai Yin's cheeks also gathered like rain, flowing down from the mask, looking at her willow eyebrows and frowning, she knew that it was really not easy to refine this medicine.

Suddenly, the floating gas churned, as if the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the dark tide was surging, and Yang Ming, who was on the side, was also shocked to find that the air around him was slowly cooling, as if he had fallen into the abyss ice cellar in an instant.

Cai Yin's dark eyes were even more solemn, looking at the gradually compressed gas. If the churning air mass is a rebellious child, the more it wants to polish it smooth and round, it prefers to struggle to resist, then Cai Yin is a kind mother, I saw her hands caressing, like willow leaves brushing the surface of the lake, the air mass, after such a gentle appeasement, is also docile, after each gentle touch, the air mass is also a little smaller, and finally the original fist-sized air mass, gradually condensed into the size of raindrops.

The last floating medicinal herb suddenly fell on the table like autumn leaves, and an ink-colored pill as pure as a raindrop fell steadily into Cai Yin's delicate little hand.

The deep pill stopped in Cai Yin's white little hand, like a faint star hanging above the Milky Way, deep and weird, giving people a mysterious sense of something outside the square.

"It's done. Staring at such a crystal elixir, Elder Weng could feel what kind of majestic and powerful power it contained, "It's really practiced." ”

"This is the Awakening Pill!" "The eyes were eager, the eyes were burning, Yang Ming licked his lips, and exclaimed, Zu Ze in Yang Ming's body also nodded with satisfaction, and knew that this medicine was really refined.

Cai Yin wiped the sweat from her cheeks, then put on her gloves again, and frowned: "Although it is refined, it is just this medicine......"

"What's wrong with this medicine?"

"When refining the medicine, I felt that this medicine contains a violent energy, although it can increase strength and temper muscles and bones, but the medicinal properties are really fierce, how do you take such a fierce medicine?"

Hearing this, Elder Weng also frowned, "What Little Master Caiyin said is right, don't say it's you, even a strong man with the strength of Riyao may be difficult to control such a fierce medicine, Yang Ming, don't blindly seek strength and give up your life in vain." ”

"It's okay, I have a sense of proportion, don't worry. Slowly retracting his expression, Yang Ming said calmly.

Looking at Yang Ming's determined expression, Weng Lao looked stunned, "Yang Ming, the martial arts training field is small, and life is big, you kid must not mess around, the medicinal properties of this awakening pill are far beyond my imagination, I knew that this was a murderous medicine, I would never let Cai Yin help you refine it." ”

"Elder Weng, this is my ancestral medicine, can the ancestors still harm me, you can rest assured, after a month, I will definitely be able to defeat Liu Qianyu and protect our martial arts training ground." This is the secret recipe left by his mother, and Yang Ming is confident that his mother will never harm him.

Weng Lao shook his head helplessly, noncommittal, "Everyone has their own ambitions, since you are bent on winning Liu Qianyu, I can only do my best to help you, and in the future, you will cultivate on Asahi Mountain." ”

"This doesn't follow the rules of the hospital, does it?"

"I can't care about breaking the rules of the hospital, this is all forced by the Shangcai Academy, they are not kind, don't blame us for messing around. You can rest assured that you can cultivate on the mountain, if you lack any medicinal materials, just say, although I can't help you cultivate, but the medicinal materials are definitely enough. Weng Lao's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he didn't see the usual gentleness and kindness at all, there is a way, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry.

"I'm going to do my best. Yang Ming glanced at Weng Lao, who cast a trusting glance at him, which made him even more determined to cultivate.

patted Yang Ming's head, and Weng Lao explained a few words to Cai Yin, which roughly meant that if you are in trouble, take care of Yang Ming more.

In this way, Yang Ming got the opportunity to practice in Asahi Mountain, which is a great favor for Yang Ming, who is still an ordinary student. Moreover, the Awakening Pill has also been refined, and according to Zu Ze's meaning, the next step is to cultivate.

After sending off Weng Lao, Cai Yin found a hut for Yang Ming to live in temporarily, although the room is small, but the beds, tables and chairs are very complete.

"Grandpa Weng has always taken care of me on weekdays, so I also have to help him with his help, so you can live here in the future. Although the house is simple, it is also clean and ......" Cai Yin said some words, and left Yang Ming alone.

As soon as Cai Yin left with his front foot, Yang Ming closed the doors and windows in a hurry, and then took out the pill and woke up the pill. Before patting his chest in front of Weng Lao and saying that he was measured, in fact, he was just comforting Weng Lao, how to take this awakening pill, I have to ask Zu Ze.

"The medicine has been refined, how should I take it?" With Yang Ming's question, Zu Ze was like a ray of light, elegantly flowing out of Yang Ming's body, the sun shone on Zu Ze's handsome face, making his face as spotless as the first snow, this was the first time Yang Ming saw Zu Ze in the daytime, as if watching an angel descending from the sky.

Zu Ze bowed slightly, his expression was complacent, and he said leisurely: "If you want to take the Awakening Pill, it's very simple, you only need to borrow a drop of your blood." ”

Seeing that Yang Ming was still confused, Zu Ze explained, "The Awakening Pill is a secret medicine left to you by your mother, in order to prevent this medicine from being stolen by outsiders, so you have moved your hands and feet in the last process of refining the medicine, and only with your blood as an introduction can you quench the Awakening Pill." Otherwise, outsiders who take this medicine will definitely die of broken tendons. ”

The little face was frightened, and Yang Ming said in shock: "This is too ruthless." ”

"Young master, the world is sinister, in order to ensure that this medicine can be used by your children, this is also your mother's good intentions. ”

Yang Ming stroked his chest and looked at the pill in his hand, which seemed to have become much heavier.
