On the way into the mountain, Wei Hong, an apprentice pharmacist, took advantage of the break to pass the drawings of the collected medicinal materials to everyone to watch.

Wei Wuji also got a drawing, which had more than a dozen patterns of medicinal herbs. The place where the medicine was collected was surveyed by someone in the family, and there were roughly more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials that matured in this season.

Among the people, a few people didn't understand the medicinal herbs very well, so they took the drawings and asked Wei Hong. Wei Hong didn't get tired of it, smiled and explained carefully, so that the questioner was satisfied.

Wei Wuji saw that Wei Hong was kind and had the heart to make friends, and he also stepped forward to talk to Wei Hong.

Wei Hong's knowledge of medicinal materials is far better than Wei Wuji, but Wei Wuji is not a layman. Between the questions and answers, the two felt that their spleens and stomachs were similar, and their words to each other were a little warmer.

Wei Wuji saw that the opportunity was rare, and took the opportunity to ask Wei Hong about some alchemists. Wei Hong didn't hide it, he knew everything, he said everything, and told Wei Wuji truthfully.

Listening to Wei Hong, the most important skill of an alchemist in refining medicine is the need to control fire. To observe the refining of medicine with divine consciousness and mind, it is not only necessary to observe the fire under the furnace, but also to pay attention to the changes in the medicinal materials in the furnace from time to time.

"Some alchemists who have become cultivators can also practice special exercises and control the fire with their minds, which is very remarkable. As Wei Hong spoke, his heart showed emotion.

"The exercises practiced by the alchemists are different from yours. Your cultivation belongs to the category of attacking, and you pay attention to the strength of your strength, and the greater the power, the stronger your strength. However, the alchemist specializes in the control of alchemy, paying attention to delicacy and skill, and when the strength is strong, it is easy to lose control, which is not conducive to alchemy. ”

"In this world, martial arts are respected, and most people will choose the cultivation of martial arts. The martial arts quenched body nine heavens, skin, flesh, muscles, bones, qi and blood, focusing on the tempering of the body, used up a lot of energy and time, naturally unable to focus on the cultivation of divine consciousness and mind. Like me, I don't have good roots and bones, and I can't hope for the cultivation of martial arts, so I will focus on the cultivation of divine consciousness and mind, and become an apprentice of alchemy. ”

Everyone in the world respects martial arts, and Wei Hong is no exception, and he feels a little regretful in his speech.

"Brother Wei Hong, I can't hide it, my roots are not good, not as good as you. Wei Wuji told the truth.

"Impossible, my root bone is a second-order primary, among ordinary people, with me as the lowest, you are definitely above me. Wei Hong shook his head and said.

"My root bones are of the highest order. Wei Wuji said.

"Ah!?Brother Wuji, you're not lying to me, are you?" Wei Hong was shocked, showing a look of doubt.

"There is absolutely no intention of deception, my roots are first-order high-grade. "Wei Wuji is colorful.

Wei Hong saw Wei Wuji's appearance, nodded, and believed his words.

Each other's roots are not high, which invisibly shortens the distance, and the two have more topics, and the relationship between them has risen sharply.

Wei Hong told Wei Wuji that alchemists all have the strength of the Martial Dao Quenching Realm, because only cultivators have the strength to cultivate the exercises and control the fire with their minds.

And a pharmacist apprentice like him has not entered the realm of martial arts quenching, no matter how good his knowledge is, no matter how much he knows, he cannot become an alchemist.

"Brother Hong, don't worry, with my first-order root bone, I can still be promoted to a cultivator, and the second-order root bone will definitely be able to. Wei Wuji comforted, "I am willing to use some of my martial arts experience to share with Brother Hong to help Brother Hong advance to the martial arts quenching realm as soon as possible." ”

Wei Hong was overjoyed, and hugged his fists to thank Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji immediately told Wei Hong some of his experience in cultivating the basic exercises.

Wei Hong also revealed some things about the alchemist to Wei Wuji.

Alchemists also have grades, which are called grades. Because the world is respected by martial arts, the level of alchemists is also divided according to the level of martial arts.

The alchemist of the martial arts quenching body is a first-class alchemist. The second heaven is the second-grade alchemist, the third heaven is the third-grade alchemist, and so on, all the way to the ninth grade alchemist.

Although there are very few people who become alchemists, there are still a lot of first, second, and third-grade alchemists, and they are called ordinary alchemists. Only alchemists who have been promoted to the fourth rank or above begin to appear precious and respected by the world.

The Wei family has two fourth-grade alchemists and one sixth-grade alchemist. Under their command, there were more than twenty ordinary alchemists, and the pharmacist apprentices under the alchemists were about a hundred.

"Brother Wuji, in fact, the hard work of the alchemist is not under the martial arts cultivators. For example, we pharmacist apprentices have to read a lot of books every day, memorize a lot of medicinal knowledge, and memorize all kinds of different prescriptions. An alchemist is not only an alchemist, but also an expert in medicine. The healing of martial artists, ordinary diseases, all need to be dealt with by alchemists. ”

Wei Hong talked about the alchemist's books again.

The general pharmacological texts record the medicinal materials of ordinary people and patients, and the advanced pharmacological classics are written on the basis of the former, which records the medicinal materials used by cultivators. After mastering these basic knowledge of medicinal materials, one can study various recipes and alchemy techniques.

In addition, it is necessary to understand the cultivation of medicinal herbs, which is also a classic that must be read through.

"The medicine garden of this family is the place where the alchemists live for cultivation, and martial arts cultivators are strictly forbidden to enter. There are tens of millions of books of all kinds in the library there! It is completely a sea of books, and it is difficult to integrate them in a lifetime. Wei Hong told Wei Wuji.

The two talked happily along the way and became inseparable friends.

Three days later, everyone reached the position where the herbs were collected, and the two became friends.

This time he went into the mountains to collect medicine, and the handling of all affairs, big and small, was decided by Guo Hai, a martial arts cultivator from his own family. He looked at the terrain, chose a flat place, and told everyone to set up camp.

The people did as they were told, set up their tents, and set up defensive traps around them to prevent the invasion of wild beasts.

Guo Hai saw that the camp had been set up, and began to lecture everyone,

"I know how hard it is to collect medicine, and if you are close to the camp, it is much safer to camp at night and return to the camp than to camp in the wild. If you have traveled far in the mountains and cannot return, please be sure to pay attention to safety. ”

"Ten days, please remember the day and return to the camp on time. We will only wait for one more day at the camp, and then set off on time and return to Weijiazhuang, never wait one more day, please keep in mind and don't miss the return. ”

After speaking, the group began to divide into groups, leaving the camp and searching for and collecting medicinal herbs in different directions. Some of the accompanying guards were assigned to patrol a certain area, and some joined the crowd to protect safety.

Guo Hai and two guards stayed in the camp to guard, and Wei Hong also stayed in the camp.

Collecting medicine will encounter danger, and it requires coordination and tacit cooperation between each other, so the principle of group of people is also a voluntary combination.

After a while, everyone divided into groups and prepared to go
