Chapter Twenty-Three: The Boy of Alchemy
Walking on the mountain road, the two guards didn't seem to be in the mood to speak, just silently led them forward, and Lin Feng and the others were also not familiar with each other, so the group did not talk to each other, but just walked forward by themselves.
After walking for a while, when passing through a dense medicine garden, I saw an old man in the garden, this person was more than sixty years old, tall and thin, with a rickety figure, but he had hair that grew to a shawl, this old man was sorting out herbs in the medicine garden, looking at his tired appearance, which made people very worried.
At this time, the old man did not notice that someone was coming, but lowered his head to tidy up in the medicine garden, only to see the old man reach out and pluck a few leaves, put them in his hand and meditate, and when he fell into thinking, there seemed to be a strange charm permeating. Everyone just felt as if there was a breeze blowing on their faces, which was very refreshing. And when this charm permeated Lin Feng's side, Lin Feng was suddenly stunned as if he was enchanted, his vision seemed to be a little blurred suddenly, and then his eyes slowly closed, and the moment his eyes closed, the vague charm became clearer and clearer.
In this strange state, a special fluctuation came out of Lin Feng's mind, this fluctuation was colorless and invisible, and it seeped out from Lin Feng's brain one by one, and finally it turned out to be some kind of inexplicable connection with the charm of that strange old man! At this moment, Lin Feng only felt as if something was something more in his mind, but it seemed that there was nothing. Lin Feng's spirit couldn't help but be obsessed, and then a sharp pain suddenly came out of Lin Feng's mind, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, his head was covered with cold sweat, his eyes were horrified, obviously he didn't understand what was going on with the scene just now.
And when Lin Feng opened his eyes, the old man's closed eyes also opened instantly, and as soon as his gaze turned, he froze on Lin Feng's body, and a thick shock flashed through his eyes, and then he walked towards Lin Feng quickly.
When the two guards saw this man approaching, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the old man.
"Old Zheng, how are you old man, do you have anything to order?" I saw that the two guards had a cold look against the past, their faces were full of respect, and that respectful appearance made De Lin Feng understand that this old man was probably not an ordinary person.
Looking at the two guards with respectful faces, the old man waved his hand casually, and didn't pay much attention to it, his gaze was just staring at Lin Feng in front of him, and after a while, he suddenly stretched out a dry finger and tapped Lin Feng's eyebrows.
Seeing the old man's actions, Lin Feng was startled and wanted to dodge, but he was shocked to find that he had lost control of his body at this moment.
The old man's fingers, in the next moment, stopped at Lin Feng's eyebrows, and then, he clearly felt that the mud pill that had been opened in the latter's mind, and a touch of surprise appeared on the old face that was not smiling at the moment.
"Is this a new disciple who has just come up the mountain?" The old man withdrew his finger and turned to the two guards, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice.
"Yes. Elder Zheng is a disciple who has just passed the selection today. One of the guards replied carefully.
"I'm short of manpower right now, and I'm still short of a medicine refining boy, so let him come with me. This Zheng Lao stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Feng, and his words were full of unquestionable tones.
"Obey the order, it is the blessing of this kid to be favored by Zheng Lao, you can't come to give Zheng Lao a gift, Zheng Lao Ke is a Xuan-level alchemist, being able to follow his old man is the creation of your life!" The two guards didn't have the slightest objection, and immediately turned to Lin Feng and said.
At this time, Lin Feng's heart was also extremely shocked, he didn't expect this old man to be an alchemist. In the world of cultivating immortals, there is a profession that is above the monks, and people call them, alchemists!
Alchemists are an extremely terrifying group, they can refine all kinds of magical pills, any alchemist will be tried to win over by all forces at any cost, and their status is extremely prominent! And if you want to become an alchemist, the conditions are harsh and abnormal, and there may not even be a 1 in 10,000 chance. And the alchemist of the Xuan Rank, even if it is a strong Jindan, will be respected, because in this world where martial arts are respected, the status of the pharmacist has always been very transcendent, you are injured and need to be treated with pills, and if you break through to the stability of the pills, even at the moment of death, a pill may save your life!
However, the pharmacist is also a profession that spends a lot of money, if you refine some miraculous pills, any medicinal material is sky-high, and it is simply unaffordable for ordinary people, and some alchemy materials are not available with money, and even some medicinal materials grow in the inaccessible forbidden area, and the alchemist is not good at fighting, so most of the pharmacists are attached to the sect, with the help of the sect's majestic financial and material resources and manpower, alchemy.
However, although the alchemist needs to be attached to the sect, the pharmacist still has a supreme status, and this Zheng Lao is still a Xuan-level pharmacist, so his status in the Xuanwu Sect is not weaker than that of the elders in the sect, and there is even a victory.
The old man didn't seem to want to say anything, and said to Lin Feng: "Keep up!" Then he turned around and left, and Lin Feng also kept up with the old man's pace in the envious eyes of the people around him, and walked slowly along the path in the woods.
On the left side of the valley is a large medicinal garden exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, in which many medicinal herbs that Lin Feng can't name are planted, and on the right side there are more than a dozen large and small houses connected together.
"This is my medicine valley, except for me, outsiders generally don't come here, you will live here in the future, go and rest first, and come to see me in the evening, I have something to say to you." The old man stood in front of several adjoining houses, and pointed to one of the smaller ones.
"You can call me Zheng Lao in the future. ”
After speaking, Zheng Lao ignored Lin Feng, coughed step by step, and walked into another more magnificent big room.
Looking around the room, although it was simple but fortunately, there was everything, at this time Lin Feng also had some surprises in his heart, this Zheng Lao seemed to value Lin Feng very much, which made Lin Feng secretly think in his heart: "Do you have a chance to become a pharmacist?" Thinking of this, Lin Feng was also excited, if he could become an alchemist, with the assistance of the elixir, then the cultivation speed would undoubtedly be much faster. However, Lin Feng quickly calmed down, he was now a traitor within the Xuanwu Sect, which could be described as walking on thin ice, and he had to be careful in everything. If he really has the opportunity to become an alchemist, he will definitely enter the eyes of the top leaders of the sect, and the possibility of his exposure is very great.
