Chapter Ninety-Six: Apprenticeship and Alchemy

As soon as the entourage entered the medicine house, Closed Moon and Ding Zhuqiang instinctively wrinkled their noses, just because this room, which was only a few feet in circumference, was filled with all kinds of medicinal smells, which was almost disgusting......

"Come, take this breath-holding pill in your mouth. ”

As Ding Zhuqiang spoke, he hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out only two grains.

Seeing this, the old man's face changed greatly, and he roared angrily: "You kid, when this breath-holding pill is eaten as a sugar pill!"

"Ahh

Ding Zhuqiang was really stunned.

"There's nothing to see in this room except for a Dan furnace? I'm still waiting for you outside!"

Closed Yuexian couldn't stand the pungent smell of medicine, and ignored the breath-holding pill poured out by Ding Zhuqiang, held his breath, and walked away......

"Chase Qiang, this Qi Holding Pill is a rare good thing, how can you waste it in vain!"

And at this time, Ruoshui rushed into the house, staring at the dazed and ignorant Ding Zhuqiang angrily.

"Ruoshui, don't you think the smell of medicine in this room is flushing?"

While Ding Zhuqiang was asking, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose.

"No!" Ruoshui shook his head in reply, and the small and delicate Qiong Nose sniffed again, and said habitually: "This should be the reason why I have been refining elemental soup since I was a child! ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" The old man was happy, and he almost danced around Ruo Sailor, rubbing his hands and smiling: "You little girl is wonderful, wonderful! Quickly worship me as a teacher! From now on, the old man will teach you alchemy." ”

"Ahh

Ding Zhuqiang was so shocked that he even let go of the hand covering his mouth and nose.

On the other hand, Ruoshui was even more stunned, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, thanks to the master's love, I don't like alchemy very much." ”

"I don't like alchemy very much? What is the reason?" The old man was furious, and shouted in displeasure: "Do you know that the benefits of alchemy are unfortunately in the human world, if it is in the immortal realm full of spiritual energy, the alchemist is ...... That's ...... That's a huge, very big existence. ”

"What is huge, very big? ”

Ruoshui pursed his mouth, and he was even more disdainful in his heart.

On the other hand, Ding Zhuqiang was different, took the Qi Holding Pill into his arms, and hurriedly asked, "Senior, hearing you say this, what kind of elixir can alchemists refine?"

After asking this, Ding Zhuqiang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, otherwise he would have to be fainted by the pungent smell of medicine in the room.

In the eyes of the old man, he said with regret: "I only hate that you kid didn't give birth to a good nose and can't resist the smell of medicine, otherwise, the old man, I would like to accept you as an apprentice and pass on your alchemy skills." ”

"No, wow! After you tell me which pills you can refine, I will persuade my wife to worship you as a teacher, and it is not good to learn the art of alchemy from you. ”

Ding Zhuqiang is really not ordinary shrewd, after saying this, he even stretched out his hand to pull Ruoshui beside him.

This is in Ruoshui's ears, and it is really shy. But what Yu Ding said was difficult to refuse, so he had to be shy and timid, lowered his eyes, and did not argue.

"Oh?" the old man asked in disbelief, "Do you really have the ability to persuade your wife?"

"Of course. Ding Zhuqiang replied with a mouthful: "Of course, you have to follow three virtues and four virtues to marry a wife." If you say yes, if you are water, you will definitely listen to me!"

"I hate ......" Ruoshui was even more ashamed, He Nai's heart had already been promised to Ding Zhuqiang, Ruoshui, who was already tender like water, just said angrily: "You are not afraid that you will be outside the door when you close the moon, will you be angry when you hear it?"

"Huh...... cough cough cough ......"

Ding Zhuqiang was so happy that his heart bloomed, and he laughed out loud as soon as he was happy, but because he inhaled a strong medicinal gas, he was choked and coughed, and even tears came out......

"Look at you crying and laughing, are you really so excited?" Ruoshui hurriedly helped out of the door and said, "I think I'll help you out of the door first, breathe!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

If it weren't for Ruoshui saying that this breath-holding pill was rare to see, and it was very precious, Ding Zhuqiang would have already taken it into his mouth, so as not to endure this living sin.

Seeing this, the old man had already decided that what Ding Zhuqiang said was true, and immediately said: "This alchemy! If you practice it well, you can not only strengthen your body and bring the dead back to life, but also prolong your life and rejuvenate your youth!"

"What?" Ding Zhuqiang, who was choked on this and was about to go out, was really overjoyed, and looked back and asked, "Is this true......?"

"Is that still fake?" the old man said arrogantly: "If it weren't for the fact that the people of my Dongli clan couldn't stand the breath emitted by refining the medicine, and felt that this alchemy was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it didn't have much effect, how could it be that my old man would be the only one who struggled to support it, so that the alchemy of my Dongli clan would not be passed down from the ancestors of my Dongli clan and the unique alchemy would be lost." ”

"Ahem...... Ding Zhuqiang couldn't help coughing again and again, and said sincerely: "Ruoshui, then you will worship him as a teacher and let him teach you alchemy!"

"I ...... Okay! I'll help you out to breathe first. ”

Ruoshui couldn't help but be deeply moved, she was smart in Bingxue, didn't she know that Ding Zhuqiang was for her own good?

"Old-timer, I've ...... Ahem...... I have persuaded my wife...... Ahem...... My wife worships you as a teacher. ”

Ding Zhuqiang was really overjoyed, he didn't wait to go out to breathe, and shouted intermittently, even more overjoyed than picking up a big ingot......

"What is this?"

Hearing this, in the ears of the closed moon waiting outside the courtyard gate, he was puzzled and ran in the hazy night.

"Then let's apprentice quickly!"

Unexpectedly, this old man was even more anxious than Ding Zhuqiang, and rushed out of the room closely.

"Hehe......" After breathing a few breaths of fresh air, Ding Zhuqiang improved, and said with a smile: "If it's late today, why don't you wait for tomorrow morning, how about I personally bring Ruoshui to come to worship the teacher?"

The old man shook his head and said, "You don't have to be so troublesome and grand, you just need your wife to kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and then you can count yourself as having passed the apprenticeship ceremony." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, in the ears of the closed moon who had just rushed over, her eyes widened, and she looked dazed and confused.

"Okay then!" Without waiting for Ding Zhuqiang to persuade more, Ruoshui had made up his mind, immediately knelt on his knees, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Master is above, please accept the disciple's three bows." ”

"Hahaha...... Okay, good, please, get up, get up, get ......up, get up, get up, get

The old man was really happy, smiled, and hurriedly helped him up.

Closed Moon seemed to realize this and asked, "Chase the strong, this is ...... What's going on? Is Ruoshui going to follow this bad old man for alchemy?"

"Hehe......" The old man was in a good mood, and he was not angry: "It's a pity that your little girl doesn't have such talent, and she can't stand the medicine to your nose, so you won't be blessed by me." ”

"Cut!" Closed Yue said disdainfully: "What's so good about this alchemy? I want to see what kind of pill you can refine if the water follows you?"

Stimulated by this, the old man's face instantly brushed like frost, and he grabbed Ruoshui's small hand and said, "Apprentice, you come with me, as a teacher, I will teach you how to make alchemy now?"

"Ahh

Ruoshui couldn't react for a while, and in the voice of Jiao, he was pulled into the Dan room by the old man.

"Ruoshui!"

Ding Zhuqiang was suddenly startled and hurriedly ran to persuade him, but before he could run into the door, he directly ate a closed door, and almost knocked his nose down.

"You haven't been hit, have you!" Closed Moon ran after him, and was about to kick the door angrily: "This old man is too ......."

"Eh!" Ding Zhuqiang hurriedly stopped, hugged Shuyue in his arms and soothed: "Don't be impulsive, this is what I deliberately instigated." ”

"What?"

The closed moon is very puzzled.

Ding Zhuqiang stood outside the door, waited for a while, only to hear the old man in the house, chattering and explaining, it seems that by the closed moon this radical law, I am afraid that I will be more inclined to teach Ruoshui, but also because of the blessing of misfortune.

"Ruoshui, then I'll go first, and I'll pick you up later. ”

After listening for a while, Ding Zhuqiang knew that there was no way to stop, so he had to leave first.

However, Ruoshui seemed to listen with relish and did not answer. Ding Zhuqiang, who only felt bored, stopped bothering, and quietly left holding hands with the closed moon.

"Hey, why did you think of letting Ruoshui go to alchemy?"

When he got out of the courtyard gate, he couldn't help but shout and ask after all.

"Haven't you heard that you don't have to press down on your body?" Ding Zhuqiang replied with a smile, turned his head to look up at the night sky, and suddenly remembered: "Oh no, the celebration banquet held by the head of the Jin family is just starting, let's go quickly!"

"I thought you had forgotten!"

Fortunately, the closed moon was outside the courtyard gate, far away, so I didn't hear the conversation in the house. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so disdainful.

"City Lord, you came back just in time, just now the Jin family sent someone to invite you to the banquet together. ”

As soon as Ding Zhuqiang came to the hall with Closed Yue, he only heard a hurried report from one of the guards.

"Hmm. Ding Zhuqiang only nodded, and then asked, "I don't know how my Uncle Lan is treated?"

The elegant middle-aged man got up and replied, "I am still healing, please rest assured that the city lord will go to the banquet and be sure that nothing will happen." ”

"I don't know what to call this one?" Ding Zhuqiang turned to invite: "Please go to the banquet together!"

The middle-aged man bowed down and replied, "Fortunately, the city lord asked, I am in the east of the Xuanhai." ”

"It turned out to be Uncle Xuanhai, rude and rude. Ding Zhuqiang was also approachable, not putting on a show at all, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what is the surname of Uncle Xuanhai's second uncle?"

Dongli Xuanhai replied unabashedly: "The city lord is polite, my second uncle's name is Dongli Zhengde." ”

"It's still virtuous!" this heard in the ears of the closed moon, and whispered: "Look at his self-righteous, crazy and crazy virtue, where is the virtue." ”

Ding Zhuqiang couldn't help but wonder, and then said: "Okay, since the Dongli pharmacist is still in the process of healing and can't pull away, let's ask Uncle Xuanhai to go to the banquet on his behalf!"

"Thanks to the city lord's high opinion and love, then please have it!"

Dongli Xuanhai did not shirk it, so he set off.

"You two will go on behalf of the Barbarian Clan!"

Ding Zhuqiang did not fall behind Hukui and Tuoya.

"Yes. ”

Hu Kui and Tuo Ya glanced at each other, they were already hungry, and they could listen to the banquet, how could there be any reason not to go?
