When Li Ding came to the living room, the shopkeeper Zhang was standing in front of a window, the window was ajar, and a crescent moon hung in the middle of the sky.

Seeing Li Ding enter the house, Shopkeeper Zhang closed the window casually, turned around and whispered: "Although the crescent moon is broken, there will be a time for consummation, why do I try my best, but it is difficult to go further." ”

Hearing this, Li Ding couldn't help but be a little surprised, Shopkeeper Zhang's words sounded like he was talking to himself, but he was obviously talking to him.

But seeing that the living room was brightly lit, Shopkeeper Zhang's expression was dull, and his eyebrows were like gloomy clouds, locked together, giving people a feeling of depression.

Li Ding frowned slightly, and his doubts were even more victorious, is this the same person? The person in front of him and the shopkeeper Zhang who talked and laughed during the day, and had an open-minded but sleek personality, did not look like a person.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this is ......," Li Ding asked tentatively.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled bitterly, and the sadness on his face finally relaxed: "It can be seen that Lei Gongzi's heart must be full of doubts, thinking that I must have some ulterior motives." ”

Li Ding didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhang to be so direct, so he had to nod.

"Human nature, but please rest assured that Mr. Lei, I have no ill intentions, but there is something wrong with keeping Mr. Son, I want to ask Mr. Son to help me look at something, no matter what the result is, I will explain the reason to Mr. Childe, and at the same time prepare a thank you gift for Mr. Childe. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang said calmly, pointing to an octagonal table in the middle of the living room, and Li Ding noticed a black box on it.

The two came to the table, and the shopkeeper opened the box and took out a scroll from it and slowly spread it out.

The moment he saw the contents inside, Li Ding's eyes froze. I saw that the names of dozens of medicinal herbs were densely recorded on the scroll. Some of the medicinal herbs were marked with red vermilion pen under their names, but even if Li Ding did not mark them, he could see at a glance that these herbs were unusual. They are all the best treasures of the spiritual source.

On the surface, this looks like a list of medicinal herbs. However, after a closer look, Li Ding found something unusual.

The names of the herbs mentioned first of all are not classified by type of herbs, and they appear to be disorganized. Secondly, although it is not clear how the pharmacy handles the classified medicinal materials, Li Ding of Jinguangmen Pharmacy is very clear, and he will never put together medicinal materials with conflicting medicinal properties, nor will he put ordinary medicinal materials and spiritual source level medicinal materials together, even when arranging the list. In addition, there is a taste of medicinal herbs that are not commonly used at all. But there were three times, if it wasn't a clerical error, or someone deliberately did it.

The more Li Ding looked at it, the more strange it became, and gradually an idea came to him, if he didn't guess wrong, what was recorded on the scroll was probably the recipe for an elixir, after all, ordinary prescriptions would never be so complicated.

"It's ...... Dan Fang?" Li Ding wondered, although he saw it, he didn't dare to be sure.

Li Ding looked at the scroll. Shopkeeper Zhang had been standing quietly beside him with a serious expression, not daring to disturb in the slightest, but when Li Ding said the word Danfang, his eyes suddenly lit up. With joy on his face, he said: "Lei Gongzi is really hidden, this is indeed a pill formula." ”

Li Ding was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What does Shopkeeper Zhang mean?" Since it is a Danfang, how can it be easily shown in front of people. I took the liberty of going down. ”

As far as Li Ding knew, the formula of the elixir was like a martial arts technique. Unless it is passed down from family to family, it is the secret of the cultivators, and even some of the pills that have been circulated among the alchemists may not be made public because they contain the experiences of the alchemists.

When he was in Jinguangmen, although Li Ding was already a registered disciple of Huayang Sect, because he did not have the qualifications to become an alchemist, he could not even see the formula of the lowest-level first-grade and second-grade pills, which shows how strict the regulations in this regard are.

"Lei Gongzi doesn't need to bother, this is just a recipe for a three-pin pill, and it's just a part, even if you read it, it's okay. Shopkeeper Zhang explained.

"Sanpin Pill!" Li Ding was taken aback first, he couldn't believe that the formula of Sanpin Pill already had to use dozens of medicinal materials, so how many kinds of four and five grades were needed, let alone six and seven grades.

However, it is not surprising to think about the price of the pill at every turn.

And hearing that the scroll was just a copy, Li Ding couldn't help but nodded, this is a fact, although the recipe of the pill is recorded on the scroll, if you don't know the amount and refining process, it is equivalent to seeing flowers in the fog and looking at the moon in the water, which can be met but not obtained, not to mention that Li Ding doesn't understand alchemy at all.

Thinking of this, Li Ding said: "But I have already said before that I am just a casual martial artist, and I don't know anything about alchemy at all, at most, I have read a few more ancient pharmacopoeia books and know a little more about medicinal materials, I don't know what the shopkeeper Zhang is doing this for?"

"It doesn't matter if Gongzi Lei doesn't understand alchemy, today I have seen Gongzi's ability in pharmacy, so I want to ask Gongzi to help me explain all the uses of the medicinal materials on this Danfang in detail, maybe there is something I missed when I studied medicinal pharmacology and didn't know. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper Zhang bowed his hand and looked serious about asking for advice.

This surprised Li Ding, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang is polite, I have been treated more courteously today, why do you want to be like this, I should do my best in this matter." ”

"Really?" Li Ding's words made Shopkeeper Zhang a little overjoyed and said, "Brother Lei doesn't know that due to the grade and realm of Yuan Qi, I have been stuck in the position of a second-grade alchemist for nearly ten years, but I have never been able to successfully advance to the third-grade. As a cultivator, it is hopeless for me to step into a higher realm, and I just want to be able to go further on the path of refining medicine in my lifetime, and I will have no regrets in my life. ”

"So, Shopkeeper Zhang is planning to participate in this Alchemist Conference?" Li Ding finally understood Shopkeeper Zhang's intentions, and couldn't help but wonder: "In that case, why don't Shopkeeper Zhang consult other alchemists, maybe you can get better advice." ”

"What Young Master Lei said is reasonable, I do know some alchemy masters who are above me, but...... Due to some reason, it is inconvenient for this Danfang to consult these people, so it ......"

Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, although Li Ding didn't understand the specific reason, but he could understand that Shopkeeper Zhang did have unspeakable secrets, and said: "Since Shopkeeper Zhang can afford to be below, there is no need to say more, I'll take a closer look at this Danfang." ”

Suddenly, for some reason, the alertness in Li Ding's heart gradually relaxed.

However, Li Ding knew in his heart that although he had read almost all the medical books and pharmacopoeias in Jinguangmen Pharmacy back then, most of them were rote memorization, so much knowledge and experience, due to the lack of practical application to digest, some of them were not very clear, and he could only try his best to help the shopkeeper.

"Thank you Childe Lei, but Childe doesn't have to worry. I have prepared a Yuanjing secret room for Childe, and Childe can bring Danfang over and take a closer look. Shopkeeper Zhang said.

"Yuanjing Secret Room!" What is that? Li Ding was at a loss, but his face remained unchanged and said, "It's okay, this matter is indeed not in a hurry." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang regained his smile, put away the scroll and walked upstairs with Li Ding, and said as he walked: "The Jade Dragon Pass is mixed, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this Yuan Crystal Secret Room cast by Yuan Huang Crystal Stone is indispensable. Lei Gongzi lives in it with peace of mind, even if the cultivation induces vitality, the outside world will not have any sense. ”

Saying that, the two came to the fourth floor, and Li Ding found that it was the same area as the other floors, and there were only two doors in the corridor on the fourth floor, indicating that there were only two rooms here.

How big is the space of this room? However, when the shopkeeper opened one of the rooms, Li Ding was immediately dumbfounded when he went in and saw it.

The layout of the room is no different from that of an ordinary room, except for an extra screen painted with landscapes, the space is not much bigger, obviously the thickness of the wall of the room is too large, and it is filled with a lot of things.

Paper and pen had already been prepared on the table in the room, and the two exchanged two more words, and the shopkeeper left after a few more words.

Li Ding closed the door and looked around, and found that the window lattice was not paper-paste, but inlaid with transparent crystal plates, which looked the same as the one on the window of the private room of the Gusang City Auction House that day.

"Yuan Desolate Crystal!" Li Ding knew that this thing could isolate soul power, but he didn't expect that it could also isolate the fluctuation of vitality, it was indeed a strange item.

Although it was late at night, Li Ding was not sleepy at this time, and when he sat down at the table, he opened the scroll and looked at it carefully.

Two hours seemed to pass in a blink of an eye, and when he put away his pen, there was a thick stack of finished paper in front of him, and there were thirty or forty sheets of paper.

After doing this, Li Ding stretched his body, still did not sleep, but started in the middle of the room.

After another hour, he took off his shoes and sat down on the bed, closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation.

Soon, Li Ding's body emitted bursts of vitality fluctuations, and immediately the surrounding Yuan Spirits also quickly stirred.

It's just strange that these Yuan Spirits did not gather, and no Yuan Spirits entered Li Ding's acupuncture points, and the Yuan Qi fluctuations gradually maintained at a specific frequency, but instead pushed the surrounding Yuan Spirits away.

Suddenly, Li Ding's body trembled slightly, if someone stood next to him at this time, and had his special ability, he would see that small green bubbles were constantly emerging from his whole body, volatilizing in the air.

This process lasted for nearly half an hour, until there were no more bubbles, Li Ding's eyes suddenly opened, and with a push of his right hand, he heard a poof, and a small ball of thunder exploded in the room, but it disappeared again in an instant.

That was the last trace of wood attribute vitality in Li Ding's body, and he was also forced out of his body by mixing yuan balloons.

Dissipating the wood attribute vitality in his body, this is the only way Li Ding can think of to pass the level safely, although there is no guarantee that he will not be discovered by the strong, but it is better than having nothing to do.

Li Ding felt it carefully, and found that without the wood attribute vitality, although the dantian yuan cyclone had decreased by one-third, his body did not feel much discomfort, but the casting of soul power obviously became not so smooth, and the extension of the edge of soul power was also a little difficult, and he was dizzy and dizzy all of a sudden.

Li Ding truly realized the importance of the wood attribute vitality to the soul power, and after taking a rest, he used the Heavenly Thunder Ming Yuan Technique to replenish the thunder attribute vitality to the limit, and then he lay down in a wide coat.
