The alchemist is a professional alchemist who can only be equipped by large pharmacies, and is mainly responsible for adjusting the proportion of medicinal materials and controlling the heat during boiling. In addition to the alchemist, there will also be a large number of pharmacists, as well as full-time personnel such as pyrotechnics and instrument engineers.

There is a fairly strict division of labor in the entire alchemy process, and it often requires hundreds or thousands of people to work together to complete the entire process.

Lanshi Medicine Village specializes in refining ninth-order elixirs, the process is extremely complicated, and there are ridiculously many personnel, with a total of 10,000 people.

Most of these people are from Miaoyi City, and they go home every day, and some of them come from neighboring cities, and they usually eat and live in the medicine house. When Zhang Feng followed Jiang Yan around, the outsiders were already in place, and the locals were coming one after another, flocking into the big houses, and the scene was quite spectacular.

After entering several rooms to take a look, Zhang Feng was led by Jiang Yan to a room called the medicinal herb sorting room.

The room was surprisingly large, and there were hundreds of people busy at the same time, and there were piles of medicinal herbs in front of everyone. The medicinal herbs all look like the same kind, each plant is more than three feet long, and the leaves are in the form of water lines, which should be the water pattern grass mentioned by the teacher of the Cliff City Academy. This thing is widely distributed in the world, although the stems and leaves do not contain spiritual energy, it is a necessary medicinal material for refining elixir.

Zhang Feng was very happy when he saw the medicinal herbs that could be named for the first time, so he picked one up and sold it to Jiang Yan: "I haven't refined elixir before, but I have taught some methods of refining medicine in the school hall where I was a child, and I recognize many medicinal materials." If I guessed correctly, the grass I had in my hand should be a water veined grass, which is mainly used to neutralize the toxicity of other medicinal herbs. ”

Jiang Yan nodded, "All the water pattern grass used in our medicine village is sorted here, you first learn the sorting skills of this medicinal material, and then I will take you to see how to boil poison juice later." ”

He walked around the house with his hands behind his back, found a foreman, entrusted Zhang Feng to the man, and then left the house to deal with other matters.

The foreman is a middle-aged woman in charge of ten junior pharmacists, although she has the responsibility of supervising the people under her hands, and her income mainly lies in sorting medicinal materials and receiving money according to the amount. She briefly explained a few words to Zhang Feng, threw him a pile of water pattern grass, and then returned to her original position and got busy again.

The sorting of water-streaked grass looks easy, but the actual hands-on is very cumbersome, first to separate the stems and leaves, and then cut the leaves along the veins, only the mesophyll is retained, and the veins are removed, and the whole process is quite boring.

Zhang Feng is used to hard work, and he is actually very energetic about this kind of thing, and he doesn't feel tired at all after a busy day.

The same was true for the next two days. He didn't want money, and all the cut leaf flesh was given to the foreman, which was counted as the foreman's credit. When the woman saw that he was clever, she was naturally very kind, and arranged for him to work beside her, and often gossiped with him.

Knowing that he had received ten catties of ninth-order elixir from the City Lord, the woman warned worriedly: "The City Lord's eldest son, Mu You, is also in the Lanshi Medicine Village, you must avoid him." That boy had a very violent temper and once killed people in the street. If he seeks out you for the elixir, it will be very bad. ”

She kindly reminded her, but she didn't expect it to become a prophecy, and the day after she said this, Mu You found the herb sorting room.

The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, lean and thin, with sharp eyes, and after entering the door, he glanced into the room and shouted, "Is that white-faced zombie here? ”

The sound was like a bell, which startled many little girls.

When Zhang Feng heard this, he immediately thought of who this guy was, and he buried his head nervously, feeling extremely uneasy.

The woman whispered, "You must not show your face, there are many people here, and he may not be able to find you." ”

However, someone pointed out Zhang Feng's location to Mu You, and Mu You's face turned pale, and he walked straight to Zhang Feng, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up effortlessly.

"A hairy boy dares to go to Miaoyi City to cheat, I think you are impatient. The guy almost roared, his forehead bruised, and he could see that he was in a rage. The hundreds of people in the room stopped what they were doing and looked over, and some of them stood up and walked there, full of desire to see the excitement.

Zhang Feng struggled to squeeze out a smile, and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother, if you have something to say, let me go first." ”

Mu You said sharply: "Bastard boy, who is your brother." He threw Zhang Feng down fiercely, just into a large basket containing leaf meat, and some people chuckled, thinking that the scene was really funny.

Zhang Feng struggled to get up, but Mu You punched him in the back, causing him to almost faint in pain.

Now he finally believed that the eldest son of his benefactor did dare to kill in public. If it weren't for his strong body, he wouldn't have been able to withstand that blow. Any ordinary person who has not practiced may have been killed on the spot.

His mind raced, and he thought of a way to get out, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, a somewhat familiar voice sounded: "Childe, don't hit him." ”

The voice was soft, timid, and pleading. Zhang Feng turned his head and glanced at it, it turned out to be the ugly girl and the princess.

I can't imagine that this girl is so righteous, although she only had a peer relationship in the past and had no relationship, but now she is willing to intercede for him in such a situation, which is really rare.

Mu You glanced at the ugly girl contemptuously, but ignored it, he grabbed Zhang Feng again and carried him out of the big house.

At that time, it was a busy time, the management of Lanshi Pharmacy was strict, and before the order to call it a day, the pharmacists were generally not allowed to leave their posts without permission, and many good things were crowded to the door of the house to look at it for a while, and under the continuous scolding of the foremen, they soon returned to their positions, while sorting medicinal materials, while discussing, the whole house was noisy.

The ugly girl didn't return to her place, she stood stupidly outside the door, looking worriedly at the backs of Mu You and Zhang Feng who were far away, and when the two disappeared from sight, she sighed softly and couldn't help but chase after them.

Mu You didn't say a word, he walked briskly in the alley with Zhang Feng with him, until he came to the room where Zhang Feng had been resting for the past few days, before he stopped, threw him in a water stain, and said in a deep voice: "You can't have taken all the ten catties of ninth-order elixir, quickly bring the rest to me." ”

Zhang Feng pondered, since this guy could directly find his dormitory, he had obviously searched it a long time ago. Immediately, he said: "Uncle Mu only gave me half a bottle of ninth-order elixir for tasting, the so-called ten catties is just a miscommunication." If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Mu in person. ”

He got up from the water stains and continued, "All my belongings are in the house, and I will take you to search to see if there is any ninth-order elixir." ”

The elixir, purple gold leaf, and a few treasures brought all the way from Cliff City were hidden on the roof beams, and although they were not very hidden, it was not easy to find them. He just wants to get by in the dark at the moment, whether the vicious young man in front of him believes it or not, as long as he has a little doubt in his heart, there must be room for action.

Mu You was not fooled, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he said in a cold voice: "Boy, you don't have to quibble anymore, this matter was told by my seventh uncle himself, how can it be fake?"

After that, he held up his palm, and a ball of white qi gathered in his palm, condensing into a fist-sized ball of light, he looked at the ball of light, and said sadly: "I entered the fourfold realm of the Spirit Sea Realm, and I should have used the ninth-order elixir to improve my cultivation, but I was actually robbed of the opportunity, it is really hateful." I'll give you another chance, you take the rest of the elixir, and I'll spare your life, or I'll leave your bones gone." ”

Zhang Feng still stiffened: "I'm not naturally suitable for cultivation, even if I take the ninth-order elixir, it's useless, and it's too much to drink half a bottle, how can I covet ten catties and make you angry?"

Mu You said coldly: "Your Spirit Sea Realm has not yet opened, but you can withstand the medicinal power of the ninth-order elixir, how can you deduce it with common sense? Even if you don't drink it yourself, it's always okay for him to exchange it for money every day, right? Stinky boy, do you dare to say that you don't have greed? If you dare to trick me again, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Zhang Feng didn't think about it, and continued to argue: "I really don't have ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu You's roar: "Bastard, suffer death!" Immediately after, this guy's arm swung rapidly, and the ball of light in his palm slammed towards him, he subconsciously hugged his head and took two steps back. Fortunately, the ball of light did not hit him, but it hit a clearing where his feet were, blowing up a small crater with a diameter of about a foot.

Mu You sneered: "Boy, look at your virtue! I thought you weren't afraid of death." Since you are sorry for your life, hurry up and hand over the elixir. ”

Zhang Feng was speechless, staring blankly at the small pit, unable to make up his mind for a while.
