Chapter 19: Named Disciples
Since coming to the pharmacy, Li Ding has not returned to the cottage on the hillside. There was a separate room next to the pharmacy, and Huayang sorted out a small room where medicinal herbs were stored and let Li Ding sleep in it.
Although Li Ding didn't say too many words of gratitude for this, his psychology was grateful, and he rushed to do some of the work he could in the pharmacy, which was quite Ling's move to win Huayang's favor.
By the time Hua Rong left the pharmacy, it was already late at night. In the past few days, Li Ding has already known that Huayang has no concept of time, and sometimes refining the Dan does not matter whether it is day or night, Li Ding does not bother him, and he falls asleep when he feels sleepy.
Since the Qiyuan ceremony, Li Ding has had the same strange dream several times. In the dream, lightning and thunder roared against a dark black background, and on a wide plain, a huge illusory figure standing up to the sky and the earth kept telling him something, and the murmuring sound echoed between heaven and earth with the thunder, but no matter how you distinguished, you couldn't hear what the illusory figure said.
Every time, in the face of the falling lightning, Li Ding ran forward with all his might, and several times when Li Ding was about to approach the feet of the huge phantom, he was suddenly awakened from his dream by a huge lightning.
This time was no exception, when Li Ding woke up from his dream with palpitations, the sky was already bright.
Pressing his chest with some discomfort, Li Ding opened the door and came to the door of the pharmacy, but saw that the door was empty, and there was a fiery breath constantly gushing out under the huge copper umbrella on the roof, obviously Huayang was refining again. So Li Ding stood quietly at the door, waiting for the Huayang alchemy to end.
Inside the house, Hua Yang's face was cautious, his small eyes stared at the jet-black tripod in the center, and his hands kept shooting out towards the fire mouth on the tripod, forming strange handprints, and at the same time, his hands were sometimes raised, sometimes pressed down, and sometimes intersected and rotated.
The fiery breath continued to emanate from the big ding, and gradually a peculiar fragrance began to slowly float out from the ding. As the fragrance became more and more intense, suddenly Huayang's eyes flashed, and the movements in his hands suddenly accelerated, and a black small tripod only the size of a palm ejected out of the mouth of the big ding, suspended in the middle of Huayang's palms and slowly rotated.
After another half an hour, Huayang's cautious face gradually relaxed, as the fiery red thin lines around Xiaoding slowly faded until they disappeared, Xiaoding suddenly moved forward, and Huayang took advantage of the situation to put Xiaoding in his palm and put it on the wooden table on the side.
"Come in, why don't you sleep a little longer, get up so early. Hua Yang said to the door, and at the same time reached out to open the lid of Xiao Ding, and suddenly a scent of danxiang spread in the room, more than ten times richer than just now.
Hearing Huayang's greeting, Li Ding couldn't help but laugh. For Huayang's perception, Li Ding is no longer surprised, and he can even sense the subtle changes in the medicine tripod, let alone a big living person outside the door?
Pushing the door in, Li Ding immediately felt a fiery aura, and sweat immediately overflowed on his forehead, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "I didn't know that the Huatang Master was refining a few pills this time, and he actually needed such a high firepower." ”
After a dozen days, Li Ding held the medical books and pharmacopoeias in the pharmacy to take a look, more or less had some understanding of alchemy, looking at Huayang's face that was also a little sweaty, Li Ding stared at the black Xiaoding suspiciously, only to see a light cyan pill lying quietly inside.
Hua Yang smiled and said: "This is called 'Ten Wood Green Leaf Pill', it is just a three-grade pill, which is generally only taken by early alchemists, and after taking it, it can enhance the sensitivity to the Yuan Spirit of the Mu genus, thereby speeding up the absorption of the Yuan Spirit and enhancing the Yuan Qi in the body." However, this Shimu Qingye Pill can only be taken once, and the effect is not so obvious if you take it again. ”
"Three pins of pills?" Li Ding's face turned pale, and when he heard the limitations of taking this pill, he couldn't help but wonder: "If it's for the alchemist, the people in the pharmacy should have taken it, Master Huatang." ”
Li Ding remembered that he had seen it in an alchemy record before, because the alchemist had a wood surname Yuan Qi in his body as an associated vitality, and the grade was generally not too high, and because the advanced exercises related to the wood surname Yuan Qi were too difficult to find, ordinary alchemists majored in fire surname Yuan Qi.
But if you want to become an alchemist, you must improve your soul power through the vitality of the wood surname, the stronger the soul power, the stronger the perception of things, and the better the situation in the medicine tripod when alchemy, so the alchemist has to properly practice the wood surname vitality.
However, between the innate limited surnames mentioned earlier about the Yuan Qi of the Mu genus, most alchemists had to use some pills to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Compared to the Yuan Qi of other castes, there are actually corresponding pills to assist, but the higher the realm of the cultivator, the higher the level of pills required, but high-grade pills are not so easy to refine successfully.
Li Ding was thinking about it, Hua Yang smiled and said, "Hehe, I didn't refine this pill for them, because you only have the Yuan Qi of the Wood family in your body, so I think this pill should also be of some help to you." ”
Hearing this, Li Ding's face was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Huayang refining this pill was for him, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Hall Master." ”
Huayang smiled again and said, "Don't thank me yet, my refining of this Ten Wood Green Leaf Pill is also a gesture." I see that you have almost recovered in the past few days, originally you were recommended by the Qing clan, and you can go directly to Yuanwu Pavilion to learn the exercises, but I have memorized the exercises of the wood surname of this door, so I have copied a copy myself, you can take it and take a look at it first. ”
As he spoke, Hua Yang picked up a booklet from the wooden table on the side, and said, "Although it's just a personal character exercise, according to the regulations, you can't show it to others, you know?"
"Understood. After taking the exercises, Li Ding did not look at it immediately, but put it in his arms, and said to Huayang: "The master of Huatang takes care of Li Ding so much, Li Ding is really unable to repay it, if he can, can Li Ding stay in the medicine hall all the time and do what he can." ”
"Hehe, of course you can, but ......"
"But do you want to eat and drink here forever?"
Before Hua Yang's words were finished, he was interrupted by a crisp voice, and with a flash of red shadow, Hua Rong's petite figure instantly came to Hua Yang's side, holding Hua Yang's arm and said coquettishly: "Thank you, grandpa, I thought you would have to wait a few days to do these things?"
Hua Yang stared at Li Ding strangely, and then smiled bitterly at Hua Rong: "I don't want to get these things for this kid again, you girl don't have to annoy me to death." ”
Li Ding was stunned for a moment, thinking that Hua Rong was operating behind all this? ”
Hua Rong stuck out his tongue at Li Ding and said, "If you really want to thank me, hurry up and start practicing, if you have the ability to condense the first trace of vitality by yourself within two months, I will tell you a secret." ”
"Secret?" Looking at Hua Rong's cute appearance, Li Ding's heart jumped, and he said in his heart, what is the secret of your little girl.
Here, Huayang opened his mouth and said: "Li Ding, don't listen to her, this girl has a lot of ghost ideas, you can't be too anxious, things always need to come step by step." After saying that, he took the Ten Wood Green Leaf Pill and put it into a small jade bottle prepared in advance and handed it to Li Ding, and then said: "You put away this pill first, and when you really condense the first trace of vitality and form a cyclone in the dantian, you can take this pill, remember." ”
"Got it. After taking the jade bottle and putting it away, Li Ding nodded solemnly.
"By the way, just now you said that you want to stay in the medicine hall, of course this is okay, I will tell Hu Yishu in two days, but because you are not an official disciple of this sect yet, so as not to gossip about other disciples, you can only be a registered disciple of the medicine hall first. If you stay here, my two apprentices can give you some guidance in their spare time, even if they are your teachers, and it's up to you whether you can become a full-fledged disciple. Huayang Road.
Li Ding was stunned for a moment and asked, "Named disciple, then what do I need to do?"
Hua Yang said: "In fact, just like the official disciples, you must also go to the main hall on time to meditate for half an hour every day, and then go to the trial ground to exercise your physical strength, until the end of the day, then you can go to the canteen to eat, and the rest of the time will be arranged by yourself." Because cultivation focuses on personal ability, others only give you some experience, and the improvement of strength ultimately depends on your own ......."
Hua Yang was talking, and Hua Rong on the side suddenly shouted: "Grandpa, isn't Li Ding just changing his residence?" I just said that he eats and drinks for nothing, but you let him be a registered disciple, do you see that his current situation is capable of exchanging yuan coins, and he must not starve to death!"
"Yuan. ”
What Huayang just said, Li Ding didn't think of this layer yet, Li Ding didn't bother about eating for more than ten days, and the meals were all sent by a disciple of the Medicine Hall named Chen Yu, but after listening to Hua Rong's words, and then remembering what Ye Lianhai said to him, he immediately reacted.
However, Li Ding pretended to have an indifferent expression and said, "It's okay Huatang Master, I can go up the mountain to collect medicine, but I don't know what kind of medicinal materials I need to exchange for yuan coins?"
Hua Yang smiled and said: "The kid has courage, of course, he has to be full of spiritual herbs, but if you want to collect good medicinal materials on the Divine Light Peak, you can't do it without one or two companions." ”
"It's okay, just let him follow me up the mountain, anyway, these two masters and her old man are not on the mountain, I can help him." Hua Rong smiled obediently.
"Oh. As soon as Hua Rong's words came out, Li Ding and Hua Yang were stunned, and Hua Yang hurriedly said: "I said why did you come over early in the morning today, Liu Yun, did she have something to do and go down the mountain?"
Hua Rong nodded and said, "Well, master, she seems to have gone to Tianfeng Town, saying that she had something to do, and she left last night." ”
"That's right, your Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Qi are too busy, so you can tell Li Ding in detail how to gather spiritual cultivation yuan, presumably your experience will also be of great help to this kid. In addition, tell him about the rules of the door, don't make a mistake and don't know it. Huayang Road.
Hearing Hua Yang's words, Hua Rong smiled happily, and actually jumped over and grabbed Li Ding's arm and said, "Haha, let me also have the addiction of being a master, you apprentice has to listen to me." ”
Looking at Hua Rong's appearance, Li Ding had to smile bitterly, but although the exercises had been mastered, he still didn't know anything about repairing luggage, and it was of course a good thing to have someone to give him advice, not to mention that she was still a genius girl in the Golden Light Gate.
Huayang had to refine the pill every day, and it was inconvenient for Li Ding to disturb him here, so he withdrew from the pharmacy with Hua Rong.
