Text Chapter 107 Half a year

Spring goes to summer solstice, time flies quickly, Chen Rui is busy every day, every day in the courtyard to count all kinds of natural treasures, both cherish hard-to-find medicinal materials, there are also treasures that do not know the origin.

Maybe because the elixir that Chen Rui secretly ate contained hair growth, his hair grew very fast and had already hung down to the back, but he didn't cut off his hair this time, but just borrowed an ordinary hairpin from Huang Moshuang to fix it, Chen Rui thought that he had the taste of the ancestors of the Qin and Han dynasties. In fact, compared to wearing a crown with his hair, Chen Rui prefers the freshness and ability of short hair, but it is a pity that he doesn't want to make the life of the Spirit Beast Pavilion suspicious, so he has to let it go.

"Chen Rui, you are refining medicine again, I said that you are too serious about doing things, some medicinal materials can be fed directly to Wang Lao Tangerine, but you have worked tirelessly to refine them one by one, is it really as Brother Huang said?

"That's not it, if I hadn't offered this little guy as an ancestor, how could the clothes on your body be so gorgeous?" Chen Rui fought back without looking back.

Wang Yaozu laughed twice, walked to Chen Rui's side and looked at the soup in the medicine jar, and said, "Anyway, Brother Huang has been away from us for more than a month, I don't know what he is doing now?"

Huang Moshuang, one of the three, was suddenly called out by Senior Brother Xu Zhibin when the Spirit Devouring Beast began to feed the treasures of heaven and earth a month ago, and he has not returned until now, Chen Rui also asked a few words about Huang Moshuang, Xu Zhibin only said that he had another task to deal with, and he would not come back for the time being. This incident made Chen Rui nervous at first, thinking that it was not the Spirit Beast Pavilion that had noticed Huang Moshuang's abnormality, would it affect him. However, after knocking on the side a few times, he found that Xu Zhibin, Liang and Liu, the two senior brothers, did not show any strange looks, and still moved all kinds of medicinal materials into the small courtyard as always, and let Chen Rui and Wang Yaozu take care of the spirit devouring beast. Seeing that he was still safe and sound, Chen Rui didn't care so much, after all, he and Huang Moshuang were not friends in trouble, as long as his secret was not exposed, Chen Rui was happy that Huang Moshuang would not be seen, although Huang Moshuang and Chen Rui had no grievances, but there was always a master in the middle stage of immortal dirt lurking around him, and when his own hole card spirit stone was lost, Chen Rui thought that Huang Moshuang was as far away from him as possible.

"No matter what he does, with Huang Moshuang's spirit, even if he is put on the mountain to cut wood, it is estimated that he will be mixed up, and it is much more comfortable than you and me being trapped here!" Chen Rui said half-truthfully, as if he was very envious of Huang Moshuang's appearance.

The two talked about something again, Wang Yaozu went to the kitchen to make breakfast, Chen Rui continued to stay here to adjust the fire under the medicine tank, he was very serious, and kept the shape and temperature of the flame firmly in his mind, of course, it would not be boring to do so. When he was in Fengming City, Dai Xiahu had discussed with Chen Rui about alchemy, Dai Xiahu was particularly concerned about saying that the most important thing in alchemy was not the materials and utensils, but the fire under the deer ding, this fire was like the oil and salt used by the chef to cook the meal, and the change of the strength of the fire must be observed at all times. Therefore, Chen Rui is not only for the convenience of stealing the elixir for himself, but also to prepare for his future involvement in the way of alchemy, after all, he started from the alchemy master's hand, and he is still quite interested in the way of alchemy, even if there are no such reasons, just Chen Rui's own qualifications of the fire spirit root, if he doesn't learn some alchemy methods, then he is really a little sorry for his God-given opportunity.

The medicinal juice in the medicine jar is almost there, Chen Rui immediately used the prepared utensils to hold them, there are two kinds of utensils for holding soup medicine, one is a square-bottomed porcelain bowl, the other is a square-bottomed copper bowl, the copper bowl is slightly larger than the porcelain bowl, but the thickness of the copper bowl is very thick, and the actual medicinal juice is far inferior to the porcelain bowl. Chen Rui wants to drink in the porcelain bowl, and the copper bowl is naturally for the spirit devouring beast king Lao Tang, looking at the kitchen, there was a burst of Wang Yaozu's kitchen knife sound, Chen Rui directly picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the medicinal juice inside, Chen Rui, who has tempered his physique, can tolerate very high temperature boiling water, so it is natural to drink the medicinal juice that has just been boiled.

And there is another main reason why Chen Rui dared to steal the soup so unscrupulously, that is, the spiritual consciousness of the senior brothers on the other side of the river does not seem to be able to cross the river, this matter was told to Chen Rui by Huang Moshuang, of course, Chen Rui himself also learned from Senior Brother Liu's mouth that this is indeed the case, otherwise Chen Rui really would not dare to steal the elixir here.

After licking the medicinal juice on the corner of his mouth, Chen Rui picked up the copper bowl and walked to his room.

"It's time to get up, why are you still sleeping. Chen Rui touched the soul devouring beast beside the bed lovingly, this soul devouring beast was very different from half a year ago, although it was not very long, the fluff on its body had changed a lot. At first, it was called Wang Lao Tangerine, because its fur color was orange, and now the hair has become pure black, Wang Yaozu also proposed to give the Spirit Eater a new name, what is it called "pure black", but the Spirit Eater doesn't seem to like it very much, no matter how Wang Yaozu calls, it ignores it, but as long as it shouts "Wang Lao Tangerine", the Spirit Eater Beast will run around, and finally Wang Yaozu has to compromise and no longer name the Spirit Eater Beast.

The Spirit Devouring Beast stretched lazily, squinted its eyes and glanced at the copper bowl in Chen Rui's hand, it stood up and shook very reluctantly, and jumped onto the wooden table not far away, where it drank medicine every time.

"Dog, if it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would have swallowed these precious medicinal materials by himself, where would he leave them for you!" Chen Rui scolded in his heart, now he has eaten a lot of decoction, but it is not the prescription given to him by the little turtle, it is just a general formula to improve the physique, it is said to be a special medicinal material for the spirit animal to improve physical fitness, at first Chen Rui just wanted to wait for the suitable medicinal materials to be collected, and then refine the decoction to drink, but what medicinal materials are sent each time is not up to him Chen Rui can decide, so when Senior Brother Liu introduced these medicinal materials, Chen Rui heard that their effect can improve the physique of the spirit beast, so he came up with a plan, to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, anyway, he is also to improve his physique, why not try to steal it。

Although Senior Brother Liu specially explained that these medicinal materials are extremely strong, if humans eat them, it is very likely that they will not be able to withstand the fierceness of the medicinal effect, and they will bleed to death, but Chen Rui's physical quality is not comparable to ordinary people, so he can naturally steal food. Wang Yaozu also had the idea of these medicinal materials, but unfortunately he was just a mouthful of let him lie on the bed for three days without coming down, and this matter also attracted a few times from Senior Brother Liang, the so-called not to the Yellow River does not give up, when the illness is cured, Wang Yaozu deliberately used boiled water to dilute the concentration of the decoction, but no matter how much boiled water he mixed with it, the minimum effect of the medicine would make him dizzy, which made Wang Yaozu die, and no longer had any thoughts about these elixirs.

Waiting for the spirit devouring beast to drink the medicinal juice in the bowl with difficulty, Chen Rui left, these days, the successive breakthroughs of the spirit devouring beast made Chen Rui feel the terrible talent, in just half a year, the strength of the spirit devouring beast has reached the peak of the spirit attraction period, it is estimated that it will break through to the early stage of the fairy dirty on the night of the fifteenth full moon next month, you must know that Chen Rui himself has spent a lot of effort to break through to the fairy dirty period, that is still with the assistance of Xia Qifu, a monk with advanced cultivation, if only Chen Rui groped by himself, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve something in a year and a half。 And the Spirit Devouring Beast broke through and upgraded one after another without anyone's help, this open-like speed surprised Chen Rui, and in the end he had to comfort himself, this was all the blessing left by the old Spirit Devouring Beast.

However, thanks to the rapid progress of the Spirit Devouring Beast, the people of the Spirit Beast Pavilion were also aware of this, and they were even more convinced that the phenomenon of anti-calf was the second reason, guessing that Wang Laocheng was really a spirit beast with unlimited potential, and in time it would definitely surpass the achievements achieved by his mother. So he increased the quantity and quality of the elixir treasures, which allowed Chen Rui to get a lot of benefits from it, and Chen Rui could be said to have swallowed one-third of these medicinal materials. He dared to do this, not only because of his own needs, but mainly because the spirit devouring beast was not very cold to these medicinal materials, and the amount of food he consumed every day was so much, and then no matter how Chen Rui persuaded him, it was like a fool, and when Chen Rui finished his "performance", he would bury his head and sleep.

The reason for this kind of thing, Chen Rui noticed it by chance, that day he accidentally found that his wardrobe was turned over a little messy, at first he didn't care much, but the next day those folded clothes were turned over again, and the neckline of each piece of clothing was hooked out of the silk thread, so Chen Rui speculated that the spirit devouring beast still wanted to steal the spirit stone, he couldn't cry or laugh, if the spirit stone can be used as melon seeds, then this world is estimated to have no spiritual cultivation, all will choose martial arts.

Since the Spirit Devouring Beast was in need, Chen Rui did what he liked and lied: "If you drink the soup that I have burned every time, I will give you delicious Spirit Slaying Stones in the future, what do you think?"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the three words of the Spirit Destroying Stone, the attitude of the Spirit Devouring Beast changed very quickly, every time Chen Rui used the soup in the copper bowl, it drank up a drop, but half a year has passed, and Chen Rui has not fulfilled his promise, which makes the Spirit Devouring Beast play a role, every time he drinks the medicine, he is lazy, and he looks unwilling, and uses his "face" to protest Chen Rui's lies.

"Brother Chen, where is Wang Laotang, why didn't you come out?" asked Wang Yaozu.

"I'm still sleeping, why don't you go and take it out?" Chen Rui smiled maliciously.

"No, no, no, forget it, I don't know what's going on, since the last time I washed my socks, Wang Laoju scratched me when he saw me, scratching and biting, although it didn't hurt much, but it was still uncomfortable. Wang Yaozu sighed, a little discouraged, he liked spirit devouring beasts very much.

Chen Rui smiled, noncommittal, and walked into the kitchen.
