After opening his eyes, Wen Rui saw that the place he was in was overgrown with weeds, as if it was a suburb. But his instincts told him that this was not Earth, but a completely different world.

Faintly hearing the sound of flowing water, Wen Rui followed the sound and took a few steps forward, brushing away the weeds that were taller than him, and there was a clear stream in front of him. He was overjoyed, squatted down, and washed his face.

At this moment, there was a burst of singing in my ears. Wen Rui stood up and saw an old farmer with a hoe not far away singing as he walked.

He hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to strike up a conversation.

The old farmer heard movement behind him, turned around and saw that it was a white-haired young man, he couldn't help but be on guard, held up his hoe, and shouted: "Stop, I'm not welcome any further." ”

Wen Rui was really surprised and delighted when he heard it, this old farmer dressed like an ancient man could actually speak fluent Mandarin, which was really God's help.

He then stopped and asked sincerely, "Uncle, where is this place?"

The old peasant looked at him sincerely, although he was dressed very strangely, he didn't look like a bad person, so he put down his hoe and said, "This is the outskirts of Tianhuo City, where are you from?"

"Heavenly Fire City?" Wen Rui was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't heard of it. However, he couldn't help but answer, he thought that there was a lot of water on the earth, so he said casually: "I'm from Tianshui City." ”

"Tianshui City, it's so far from here, how did you get here?" the old farmer was puzzled.

When Wen Rui heard that there was really a city called Tianshui City, he couldn't help but be happy, the blind cat met a dead mouse. He then said, "I know how to fly." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a heavenly cultivator, no wonder. The old farmer was stunned.

"Heaven cultivator?" Wen Rui was stunned again, what is this? But he didn't want to ask the old farmer, and as soon as he asked, he was exposed. He continued: "Uncle, I'm not familiar with this place, I get lost when I fly, can you take me to Tianhuo City?"

Wen Rui has an old man on the left and an old man on the right. When the old farmer heard this, he thought to himself: This young man is really polite, so he happily replied, "No problem, come with me." ”

Wen Rui was overjoyed, and walked to the old farmer in a few steps, "Thank you, uncle." The two walked along a path.

"Housheng, what's your name?" asked the old farmer.

Wen Rui just wanted to say his real name, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that it was not good to say his real name, but it was quite difficult for him to break one now, and if it dragged on for a long time, the old man would be suspicious, so he hurriedly said: "My name is Tang Rui." ”

"Tang Rui, what a name, Ruicai Xiangyun, auspicious. The old farmer stroked his chin and said.

Wen Rui saw that the old man was not suspicious, and praised himself, and he was happy in his heart, "Mom and Dad got it, and the old man praised it." Old uncle's surname?"

"The contemptible surname is Li. ”

"Li Bo, I don't know much about Skyfire City, can you tell me about it?" Wen Rui asked as he admired the surrounding scenery. The temperature here is very high, and the vegetation is similar to the tropical vegetation on the earth, and Wen Rui probably understands why that city is called Heavenly Fire City.

"Tianhuo City is one of the nine big cities, there is Tianhuo Gate in the city, it is the Tiantian Sect, it is one of the nine major sects in the world, and there are three major families in the city, namely the Xia family, the Geng family, and the Xiang family, and the industries of these three families are very large. In addition, there is a large auction house opened by the medicine king, and there are auctions every day, which is quite lively. ”

"Who is the Medicine King?" Wen Rui said curiously, the name sounded so domineering.

"The Medicine King is also the Lord of the Medicine King Valley, and the Medicine King Valley has an auction house in the Nine Great Cities to auction all kinds of pills, and every ten years there will be a medicine refining conference in the valley, and alchemists from all over the country will rush to participate. When he talked about the alchemy conference, the old farmer's face showed a little excitement.

"Uncle Li, what is the Alchemy Conference for?" Wen Rui continued to ask.

Seeing Wen Rui's thirst for knowledge, the old farmer immediately opened the conversation: "The alchemy conference means that alchemists from all over the country compete on the same stage, and the winner can get a huge bonus, and in addition, he can get some precious medicinal materials that are rarely seen in ordinary times.

But the most important thing is that honor, once you win, your name will spread all over the country, and from now on, there will be an endless stream of people looking for you to refine the medicine, and you will never worry about the elixir you refining will not find customers. Not only that, many people did not hesitate to promise the alchemist anything in order to obtain a precious pill, and the high status of the alchemist can be seen. ”

Wen Rui nodded again and again as he listened. Alchemist, when he heard this name, he felt very domineering, if he could become an alchemist, the future expenses would not be a problem, and at the same time, he could command a large number of people to find Kexin for himself, which would be really good.

"Li Bo, how can I become an alchemist?"

Li Bodao: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that to become an alchemist, you need to have a strong control of the heat, and it can be said that the level is between this fraction." The same raw materials, the same fire, the difference in heat control, and the quality of the refined elixir are also thousands of miles apart. Therefore, not everyone can become an alchemist, it takes talent. ”

When Wen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, and he estimated that he would not be able to play. But then he remembered that he should still have the ability to control the heat. Isn't cooking the same as refining medicine? With the same raw materials and the same fire, some people are either undercooked or too cooked, but as soon as they get started, what they make is absolutely just right, maybe they can do it themselves when refining medicine, so isn't it enough? Thinking of this, he was excited again, maybe he could become an alchemist himself! When the time comes, it will be really refreshing to call for wind and rain.

The old farmer saw Wen Rui sometimes depressed and sometimes excited, and he wondered for a while. If he knew that Wen Rui would compare cooking with refining medicine, he would definitely faint directly and shout, "You can't teach your son." ”

The two walked a little further, and in front of them appeared two thatched huts, surrounded by tall tropical trees, which were lush and green in summer.

Wen Rui followed the old farmer into the house, which was simply furnished, with a bed, a stove, a large wardrobe, a table, and four stools. But there is an indescribable sense of warmth.

The old farmer beckoned Wen Rui to sit down, and then began to cook. Wen Rui saw that the old farmer was inflexible because he was too old, so he volunteered to help the old farmer cook, and the old farmer was happy to not spend, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good." ”

The old and the young immediately began to cook together. Seeing Wen Rui's skillful stir-fry skills, the old man was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect this kid to have this hand.

The meal was quickly cooked, and Wen Rui helped bring it to the table, and then helped the old farmer to sit down, and then sat down himself.

"Lieber, let's eat. Wen Rui greeted.

The old farmer's weather-beaten face was full of smiles, and he was really happy. Then the two began to eat.

"Uncle Li, why are you living here alone?"

When the old farmer heard this, a trace of sadness flashed on his face, "My wife passed away two years ago, and my son went to Tianhuo City, so I asked me to go too, but I didn't want to go, so I lived alone." The picture is quiet and comfortable. ”

Wen Rui said while eating: "Uncle, I don't like places with a lot of people, it's noisy, it's so noisy that my brain is messed up, it's still so clean and comfortable." ”

When the old farmer heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, "You kid has the same spleen surname as me." ”

Wen Rui smiled at him, his eyes narrowing into slits.

After eating, Wen Rui helped the old farmer wash the dishes. The old farmer was naturally overjoyed.

After washing the dishes and cleaning up everything, the old farmer walked out of the door, and after a while, he walked in with a basket, and Wen Rui saw that it was full of fresh fruits, including bananas, mangoes, and pineapples. Although he ate to fill his stomach, he had walked all the way in the hot world just now, and his thirst had not been quenched. Seeing so many fresh fruits at this time, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The old farmer looked at his greedy appearance, smiled, and put the basket on the table, "These are all for you, eat." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Wen Rui was overjoyed, and after peeling the banana, he immediately chewed it. It's really sweet and delicious, refreshing and thirst-quenching.

The old farmer couldn't help but smile when he saw Wen Rui gulping down a lot of food.

In the blink of an eye, half a basket of fruits had entered Wen Rui's stomach, and these fruits were really thirst-quenching. Wen Rui suddenly felt completely thirsty and refreshed.

"Is that enough?" the old farmer looked at Wen Rui with a kind face.

"That's enough, thank you, uncle. Wen Rui touched his stomach and signaled that he couldn't eat anymore.

"When you're full of food and drink, you're ready to go on the road. The old farmer said happily.

Seeing Wen Rui wearing thick clothes and sweating profusely, the old farmer got up and took out a stack of thin clothes from the closet that his son had worn and gave them to Wen Rui.

Wen Rui took out his wallet from his pocket, took out some money, the old farmer waved his hand again and again, Wen Rui was embarrassed in the end, and just wanted to take his hand back, the old farmer grabbed his hand as if he had found something, took a banknote, and then asked: "Xiaorui, does Tianshui City use this kind of banknote? This kind of banknote should not be able to be used in Tianhuo City." ”

Wen Rui was shocked, yes, this is not the earth, and the money he brought is equivalent to waste paper, so he couldn't help but be secretly worried.

The old farmer looked at him worried, thinking that he was enthusiastic about helping him cook and wash the dishes just now, and he was really a rare good offspring, so he decided to help him to the end, so he took out some of his savings and gave them to Wenrui.

"Uncle, how embarrassing is this? You let me eat and give me back my clothes, I am already ashamed of it, how can I still take your money?" Wen Rui waved his hand again and again.

"It's useless for me to ask for money from an old man, you are a good posterity, and you help me cook and wash the dishes for me, this money should be a reward given to you by the uncle. ”

The two pushed back and forth, and finally Wen Rui gave in, he took the money and thanked the old farmer with gratitude, and the old farmer just smiled.

Then the old man pointed out the way to Wenrui to Tianhuo City, and Wen Rui said goodbye to the old man and embarked on a new journey.
