In the secret room of the Cheng family.

Cheng Peng, the head of the Cheng family, looked anxious, since the Tie family retired from the army, his mood has been uneasy, and he has insomnia every night.

His concern was not the Tie family's people, but Gu Qing!

A three-grade wood attribute poison refiner, as soon as he makes a move, he will send two kinds of strange poisons, and what is even more terrifying is to scare away a poisonous handsome and strong man with his face, among all these things, he is not an ordinary person who can do any of them!

Crunch!

The door was pushed open, and it was a young girl who came in, it was Cheng Ruoshui.

"Daddy!"

"Ruoshui, Dad has something to do with you today! You have to explain it to me in detail, and you can't leave anything out!" Cheng Peng stepped forward and said impatiently.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, what's going on?, is it that the people of the Tie family are attacking again?" Cheng Ruoshui had never seen his father appear so anxious, and asked with concern.

"Is your body better?" Cheng Peng felt that he was out of shape in front of his daughter, smiled bitterly, changed the topic, and asked.

"It's much better! I feel much more powerful now than before!" Cheng Ruoshui smiled slightly and said. After finishing speaking, two small hands were raised, and two flames, one left and one right, appeared in the palms of his hands, which were exactly two strange poisons.

"Very good! Don't leak out the poisonous things for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!" Cheng Peng said with a little joy when he saw that his daughter's Fengyang poison was fine for the time being.

"Dad, I know! By the way, what are you looking for me?" Cheng Ruoshui looked at his frowning father and asked.

"It's not a big deal! I just want to ask you about someone!"

"Who? is it Gu He?" Cheng Ruoshui seemed to be able to guess his father's thoughts, put away the two strange poisons, looked at Cheng Peng's eyes and asked.

"Hmm!" Cheng Peng nodded and said, "Who is he, how did you save him?"

Cheng Ruoshui didn't dare to hide anything, and told the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and did not let go of every detail, such as what clothes Gu Qing was wearing at that time, the extent of his injuries, and so on.

After listening to his daughter's description, Cheng Peng's face was gloomy, and he lowered his head and circled back and forth in the secret room, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Dad, I don't think Gu He is a bad person?"

"Gu He is unfathomable, people can't see through! It is precisely because of this unfathomable that I am very worried and anxious!" Cheng Peng said to his daughter.

"What does Dad mean is that Gu He is an injured poisonous handsome and strong man?

"To be able to let a poisonous handsome powerhouse run away after seeing it, Gu He's strength is at least a five- or six-star poison handsome level! At his age, it is impossible to have higher strength, after all, he is still too young!" Cheng Peng guessed.

"Five- or six-star poisonous handsome, is he so powerful?" Cheng Ruoshui couldn't believe that Gu Qing, who was about his age, would have such terrifying strength.

"If it is an ordinary strong man, even if you save his life, he will not give away the two strange poisons! Looking at his indifferent expression, his strength should not be too weak!" Cheng Peng continued to analyze.

"Since Gu He's strength is so strong, and he is kind to us, isn't it a good thing?" Cheng Ruoshui said innocently

"Ruoshui, you are still too young! Gu He sent you a strange poison, which is to repay your life-saving grace! A three-grade wood attribute poison refiner like him may have a very strange temper, one minute he calls you a brother and a brother, and the next minute he can turn against you! What's more, we don't know if he is a friend or foe!" Cheng Peng began to speculate about Gu Qing's personality with the thinking of an adult.

"How does Daddy want to win him over? Son-in-law, right?" Cheng Ruoshui said shyly, and when he said the last half of the sentence, his face was red.

Cheng Peng really wanted Gu Qing to be his son-in-law, but Gu Qing politely refused, and he was embarrassed to mention it again, for fear of annoying the other party.

"I want Ruobing to worship him as a teacher!" After a long time, Cheng Peng said slowly.

"Apprenticeship?"

"It's best if he can agree, if he doesn't, then we at least know his attitude towards our Cheng family! In other words, apprenticeship is just a test!" Cheng Peng said thoughtfully.

"Oh, did you tell Ruo Bing?"

"I haven't told him yet! That's good, wait a while, you go see him and tell him about it!" Cheng Peng said to his daughter.

Cheng Ruoshui agreed, said a few more words to his father, and then bowed and said goodbye.

When Cheng Ruobing knew that he wanted to worship Gu Qing as a teacher, he strongly objected at first, but after hearing that he could learn alchemy after apprenticeship, he agreed hesitantly.

A few hours later, Cheng Peng personally went to Miao Yuan to send an apprenticeship sticker, and of course, prepared a thick gift!

Gu Qing read the apprenticeship sticker with a pensive face. He didn't want to accept apprentices, for him now, accepting apprentices would be a burden! If he didn't accept them, the Cheng family would definitely have other unstable ideas.

An hour later, Cheng Peng came with Cheng Ruobing as promised, first bowed respectfully to Gu Qing, and then found a seat and sat down, waiting for Gu Qing's orders.

Gu Qing smiled slightly, and said, "Family Master, I have thought about it carefully, let's put aside the matter of accepting apprentices for the time being!"

Cheng Peng's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Why? Isn't Ruobing suitable to be your apprentice?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said: "Your son is quite smart, he will definitely find a master who is more powerful than me! It's just that I don't accept him for the good of your Cheng family!"

Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "How do you say this?"

Gu Qing said: "Family master, don't you want to know where the injuries on my body came from?"

Cheng Peng didn't say it explicitly, but nodded, indicating that he was listening!

Gu Qingdao said: "I can't hide it, I have offended a lot of villains, and the injuries on my body are all given by them! These villains are all more fierce, any one of them can wipe out the Cheng family!"

At this time, Cheng Peng had completely figured it out, for the safety of the Cheng family, it was okay not to apprentice.

Gu Qing saw that the face of the head of the Cheng family was a little not good, and said with a smile: "Your son's qualifications are good, and he is very suitable for being a poison refiner! I will teach him the art of alchemy wholeheartedly, but I need to charge tuition, hehe!"

After listening to this, Cheng Peng was happy and asked, "I don't know how much tuition Mr. Gu wants?"

Gu Qing stretched out a finger and gestured, and said, "One poison pill a year, I have the final say on the grade! Of course, this poison pill must be refined by your son himself, otherwise I won't accept it!"

Cheng Peng almost laughed happily, and hurriedly asked Cheng Ruobing to salute Gu Qing.

Gu Qing smiled slightly and said, "I will leave here in a few months! During this time, I will teach your son wholeheartedly, and if he fails to meet my requirements, I will stop teaching immediately!"

The Cheng family saved his life, and he repaid Cheng Ruoshui with two strange poisons, which can be said to be over. As for teaching Cheng Ruoshui, it was completely to reassure the people of the Cheng family!

Cheng Peng said: "This is natural! Mr. Gu, if you have any orders in the future, just mention it! As long as my Cheng family can be satisfied, I will definitely agree!"

Gu Qing said: "The head of the family doesn't need to be so polite! I am in urgent need of poisonous weeds and poisonous pills, and I need the Cheng family to help me! As for the gold coins for buying poisonous weeds, I will take them all out, and I will not let the Cheng family suffer a loss!"

In this way, Cheng Ruobing became half of Gu Qing's apprentice.

The next day, this little young master came to report.

Gu Qing took him to the Miao Courtyard, and said as he walked: "Now I will assign you a task, and I will count the names of the poisonous weeds here in one day!"

Cheng Ruobing was dumbfounded, looking at the colorful poisonous weeds in a cold sweat. There is no poisonous weed scripture at home, and only a small part of these poisonous weeds have been seen, what can I do?

The kid pondered for a while, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, pulled out all the poisonous weeds, filled a bag full of them, and walked out quickly.

Gu Qing was dumbfounded when he looked at this scene, and scolded in a low voice: "Nima! The three-grade poisonous grass that the master just planted was pulled out for me like this!"

After scolding, he laughed and thought: This kid is good, not rigid, and more temperamental!

Cheng Ruobing took a lot of poisonous weeds and asked around the house, but unfortunately, most people couldn't identify them.

He didn't give up, Qiao Zhuang dressed up, ran to the market with poisonous weeds, and asked in a low-key manner. The method of asking is also more flexible, pretending to sell poisonous weeds and starting to bargain for others!

"This young master, don't be funny, a second-grade poisonous weed demon fungus orchid like you can't be used to refine the poison pill at all, the heat is not enough! You stole it, right?" The guy saw a small poisonous weed in Cheng Ruobing's hand and smiled bitterly.

Using this method, Cheng Ruobing figured out the names of most of the poisonous weeds in his hands. As soon as he went out, he took the scroll and wrote it down.

The three-grade poisonous weeds planted in Gu Qing are quite rare, and Cheng Ruobing ran around with them, and there are very few people he knows. The people of the Tie family are proficient in cultivating poisonous weeds, and if they go anywhere, they will definitely be able to ask why! However, the Tie family and their Cheng family are mortal enemies, and he decisively gave up!

In order to find out the name of the poisonous weed, he went to the largest auction house, and there were many people who knew the goods.

As soon as he took out a third-grade poisonous weed, the strange shape immediately attracted the attention of the auction house guy, and a young guy cleverly notified the second-grade poison refiner in the auction house.

That alchemist was an old man, a genuine second-grade wood attribute alchemist, and the Miaoxiang Pill that Cheng Ruoshui had taken before was refined by this old guy.

This old man's name is Danchen, he is used to being powerful in the auction house, and when he saw the three-grade poisonous grass in Cheng Ruobing's hand, he was slightly startled, grabbed the latter's sleeve, and asked, "Where did this mulberry come from?"

It's no wonder that this old guy is excited, he has been trying to refine a third-grade poison pill recently, and all the poisonous weeds are ready, just this kind of mulching grass in front of him!

Cheng Ruobing saw that this old man was very rude, so he snorted and didn't pay attention to him anymore!

Who knew that Danchen's temper was very big, he slapped Cheng Ruobing's face and yelled: "Little rabbit cub, let me ask you, where did this poisonous weed come from?"

Cheng Ruobing touched the scars on his face, a fierce gaze erupted in his eyes, and with a bang, he fought indiscriminately at Danchen.

It's a pity, how could he beat Danchen as a little kid, whew, he was slapped again, and his face instantly swollen!

Some guys in the auction house recognized Cheng Ruobing as the young master of the Cheng family, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Old Dan, rest your anger, stop your anger! This little young master is a member of the Cheng family, don't break him!"

Danchen was furious when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "A Cheng family is a fart! As long as Lao Tzu is not happy, he can destroy them in an instant!"

"Old thing, I'll fight with you!"

Cheng Ruobing was naturally unconvinced, and continued to rush forward, but as soon as he took half a step, he was stunned by Dan Chen.
