Chapter 64: Dantang

The two of them followed the man on, not speaking along the way, Feng Heng silently paid attention to the surrounding scenery, and found that they were heading towards a mountain peak.

This mountain is not big, not steep, you can see a group of buildings standing on the top of the mountain from a distance, but it does not look rich, but it seems to be a little dilapidated, there is a simple gatehouse at the foot of the mountain, the word 'Dantang' is written on it, after entering the door, a fragrance of herbs comes to the face.

Feng Heng looked around, and saw that this place seemed to be a unique world, the snow outside was knee-deep, although there were snowflakes flying down here, but there was no snow on the ground, a little feeling, found that the elemental power in this place was very disordered, and it was expected that this should be the reason, only to see that there were no other flowers and trees around, and the eyes were full of medicinal herbs, and the breeze struck, and the medicinal fragrance became more and more intense.

The disciple didn't speak, and walked up with the two of them, Feng Heng observed while walking, and found that the herbs here were planted very regularly, and the grade of the herbs was constantly rising from the bottom up, and at the foot of the mountain were large tracts of common medicines such as bone-setting grass, heather, and ground root grass, and now there were many slightly higher grade medicinal materials such as Hanxing Fruit and Purple Grass.

At the moment, I couldn't help but be a little excited, such a planting scale was beyond Feng Heng's imagination, I don't know what medicinal materials will be seen above, and I saw that many disciples in the medicine garden were watering and weeding the medicinal materials, I thought that it should be the so-called medicine boy, could it be that my future work is also this?

Feng Heng was overjoyed, these medicine gardens are tantamount to a treasure trove to himself, the scale of cultivation here is so large, it should not be discovered if he quietly picks a few plants when he is working, right? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

A few people gradually arrived on the mountainside, the grade of the medicinal materials here is naturally higher, and the number of planting of each medicinal material is not as much as before, so it looks a little complicated at a glance, but Feng Heng is more and more excited, many of the medicinal materials here are out of print outside, and there have been several main dispensing of four-grade pills, the above...

"Although this Dantang occupies a large area in the door, the number of people inside is the least, and the corresponding work is also the most arduous, usually only disciples who feel that their cultivation is hopeless will come here, and the disciples who have entered the new ranks in the past will hardly choose here, but I didn't expect the two of you to have a very special idea. The disciple suddenly spoke, interrupting Feng Heng's thoughts.

"It's... Don't hide it from my brother, I was born in a family of medicinal materials since I was a child, and I have had feelings for medicinal materials since I was a child, and I have been yearning for the legendary alchemy for a long time. Feng Heng said busily.

The disciple stopped when he heard this, turned his head and looked at him a few times, the disdain on his face disappeared for the first time, and the corners of his mouth raised: "So that's the case, in fact, to be honest, becoming an alchemist is also a good choice, if it weren't for the fact that this industry has declined now, it is estimated that many people will have this kind of thought." ”

Feng Heng nodded, he knew about this situation, since I don't know when the Dan Dao has lost its glory, many pills and refining techniques have been lost one after another, which is also the reason why the pill is so expensive now.

The disciple continued to move forward, "Since you like Dan Dao so much, then study hard, there are several amazing alchemy masters in the sect now, I hope there will be one more soon, so that the future Dan equipment will not be so nervous." ”

Feng Heng smiled, and had a lot of good feelings for this disciple for the first time, "Thank you, senior brother, you must study hard in the future, by the way, I don't know the name of senior brother, if there is really that day, I will have to repay senior brother." ”

The disciple laughed for a while when he heard this, "You are quite kind, you are just starting out and want to take care of my senior brother who has been staying for several years?" But seeing that you are so sincere, it doesn't hurt to make a friend, my name is Chen Chen, you can call me Senior Brother Chen." ”

Feng Heng hurriedly responded, and the Qingyin next to him was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few people continued to walk, seeing that they were about to reach the top of the mountain, but Feng Heng found that the medicine garden here was actually covered by an unknown cloth, and he could not see the medicinal materials inside, and he understood after thinking about it, the purpose of this cloth was not to prevent others from prying eyes, but to avoid the loss of medicinal properties of the herbs in it.

However, all good medicinal materials have a more common characteristic, that is, they are extremely volatile, so they can often be felt from a long distance, although they will not have any effect on the medicinal properties to a certain extent, but such a precious thing, the more perfect the better.

Feng Heng simply stopped looking around, and he couldn't see anything anyway.

After a while, a few people finally came to a row of buildings, compared to other places, the biggest feature here is that the houses are very neat, more than a dozen houses are in a row, the specifications and styles are almost identical, standing in this position, you can faintly see a few rows behind.

The second is that the medicinal fragrance here is unusually strong, and even makes people a little dizzy, Qingyin thinks that he is not used to it, and coughs slightly.

"Elder Wu, disciple Chen Chen has come to pay a visit!" Chen Chen stopped and shouted at a row of buildings.

After a while, I heard a somewhat tired voice say, "The second room on the left, come in!"

Chen Chen answered, led Feng Heng and the others to the second house on the left, and suddenly found a strong smoke coming out of the window, mixed with a strange smell of medicine, Feng Heng frowned, this is the smell of medicine practice, right?

Sure enough, as soon as a few people were about to enter the door, they heard angry shouts from inside, "Stupid! I can't do it well after such a simple refining for so long, continue to go back and grow your medicinal herbs, if it still doesn't work after a month, you will always be a medicine boy!"

After the scolding, there was a "yes" from inside, and the voice was soft, obviously a little scared.

Chen Chen didn't pay attention to it, and led the two of them in, probably thinking that the two of them would be here immediately, but he didn't do much to avoid it, in principle, the alchemy process of each Dan Master is extremely secret, and it is impossible for people to visit easily.

Feng Heng had never seen what the Danfang was like, and he naturally had some curiosity and expectation in his heart, but he walked in and took a look, and he was a little disappointed, the furnishings in this room were extremely simple, there was a large shelf similar to an antique shelf on the left and right, which was full of various boxes, and in addition to that, there was a large wooden table in the middle, on which there were many bottles and jars.

However, the most attractive thing is the alchemy furnace next to the large table, this alchemy furnace is composed of a half-human-high cylindrical iron barrel, about three inches in diameter, you can feel the heat inside from a long distance, but I don't know what the fuel is inside.

There was an iron handle at the waist of the Dan furnace, which should have been touched a lot from the point of view of its smoothness, and Feng Hengxin guessed that it should be a device to control fire.

At this time, on the Dan furnace is a black Danding, I don't know if it is smoked or this color, this Ding is round as a whole, looks a bit like a teapot, there are three legs supported below, there are several tiny pores on the lid of the Ding are slowly smoking, and the paste smell is coming from here.

Of course, Feng Heng immediately saw the two people in the house, one looked to be in his sixties, wearing a simple robe, with a long beard on his face, and the whole was rigorous and resolute.

The other was wearing a disciple's uniform, and he looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, obviously he was the one who was scolded just now, and he was a little trembling at this time.

The old man still had to say something, and when he saw the three of them entering the door, he didn't say anything more, just drank and went back!

As if the disciple had been pardoned, he respectfully bowed his hand and ran away.

The old man looked at his back and was still angry, and scolded: "The mud can't support the wall!"

Chen Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's just a trivial matter, why should the elder be angry, don't you see that I'm not adding a new person to you." ”

When the old man heard this, his face replied, and he said with a smile: "You monkey, when did you come to take away a few pills from the old man, don't fight with me here." ”

Chen Chen pretended to be aggrieved, "It's not kind for the elder to say that, since that's the case, then I'll take them back, and you can slowly educate the disciples here." ”

The old man waved his hand, "Don't play poor, you are the same as your master, you were a monkey spirit in your last life." Immediately, he looked Feng Heng and Qingyin up and down and said, "He really came to report?"

"How is it possible!" Chen Chen said busily, "You don't want to think about what kind of place you are, if it weren't for my painstaking persuasion all day, the ghost would have come here, you should remember this good!"

"Alright, you'll be indispensable later. The old man was a little impatient, "Where did he come from?"

Chen Chen didn't know what to say to the old man, but he saw that the old man's eyes lit up, and he said to Feng Heng: "Do you know how to do alchemy?"

Feng Heng was stunned for a moment, "This....", and then caught a glimpse of Chen Chen behind the old man and winked at him vigorously, and said busily: "I did study a little before, but... Not very skilled..."

The old man sighed, as if he was a little surprised, and pointed to the pile of medicinal herbs on the table and said, "Do you know these medicinal herbs?"

Feng Heng naturally knew when to show and when to hide, so he walked over and checked the medicinal materials on the table one by one, "I barely know." ”

The old man smiled, "It's still reluctant?" After speaking, he picked up a medicinal herb and said, "Tell me what this is?"

Feng Heng read through Hongyu Dandao, and is very familiar with these basic knowledge, although he lacks practical experience, but according to the appearance and smell, he can also say that he is not far from ten.

"If I'm not mistaken, this strain should be Ningshenhua, one of the main medicines of the second grade of Ningshendan, but this strain should be planted in the Shanyin position, less light, slightly lighter in color, although there are ten years, but the quality is not very good, the efficacy is estimated to be at most six or seven percent, can only be regarded as the middle and lower level of the same kind. Feng Heng talked eloquently.

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the house were all stunned, it was not surprising to know the name of a medicinal herb, and to be able to see the year and growth environment of the medicinal herb, and evaluate the quality, this is generally something that only a master who has been immersed in Dandao for several years dares to do in public, because there are many uncertain factors that may also lead to this or that problem in the medicinal material, if it is not a master, it is generally not necessary to say so surely.
