Chapter 4 Ancestral Techniques
Xingtian pretended to have an innocent expression and said, "The disciple doesn't know, the disciple doesn't seem to have offended Deacon Jia!"
The old man in the medicine garden nodded, and seemed to have no interest in speaking, but said: "Today, you still fetch water for irrigation, and then pull the weeds, if you can't finish it, I will still give you a bad review!"
Xingtian didn't speak, but he went to work, and in the afternoon, Xingtian only pulled out a small part of the weeds, if nothing else, he would still get a bad review today.
At this moment, Xing Tian saw the old man of the medicine garden holding the dregs of a copper furnace, walked out of the house with a depressed face, and poured all the dregs on the ground.
Xing Tian knew that the opportunity was coming, but he walked over and deliberately said to himself: "The copper furnace is sealed, the medicinal properties are self-contained, and there seems to be some problems with the technique!"
The old man's martial arts cultivation is obviously not weak, but he listened to Xingtian's self-talk in his ears, and immediately pulled down his face and said: "The hairy boy knows a fart, how is the old man's technique, it is not your turn to judge a little fart!"
Xingtian hurriedly made a panicked gesture and hurriedly said: "Elder, don't blame, it's the disciple's rudeness!"
After speaking, he made a gesture to go back to work, but the old man seemed to think of something, but he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, what did you just say, the copper furnace is sealed, and the medicinal properties are self-contained...... What do you mean, and how do you tell there's something wrong with me?"
At this moment, Xingtian behaved like a hairy boy who had nothing to do, and said: "That's the medicine refining mantra handed down by the disciple's ancestor, just now I saw this waste medicine residue, I couldn't help but lose my words!"
These words were completely like exculpating himself, but the old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "You said that this is the medicine refining mantra passed down by your ancestors, and your ancestors are alchemists?"
Xingtian was immediately shocked, but he shook his head again and again, but in the eyes of the old man, it was the cowardice of the young man. Immediately, the old man deliberately forced out a smile and said, "That...... What's your name!"
"Disciple Xingtian!"
"Well, Xingtian, don't be afraid, let me ask you, among your ancestors, has there ever been an alchemist?"
Xing Tian nodded slowly, but said that his grandfather was an alchemist, but it was only later that he got into trouble, so the family was ruined, and he would devote himself to the Hexagram Mountain Sect.
This is complete nonsense, but after thinking about it all night and mellowing it down, it is difficult to find the loopholes.
The old man of the medicine garden asked a little more, and then he was a little relieved, secretly saying that there are countless grievances and hatreds in this world, and it is not uncommon for an alchemist to suddenly suffer a catastrophe. I thought that I had been specializing in medicine refining skills for more than a year, but I couldn't do it, it was precisely because of the lack of the guidance of an orthodox alchemist that I would be like this, and the young man in front of me might be able to help him.
This old man's surname is Han, and the outer disciples call him Elder Han, and he has been taking care of this medicine garden for several years. He was old, and his cultivation had stopped for several years in the early stage of the Acupoint Opening Realm, and if he didn't have the help of elixir, he wouldn't have thought of breaking through in this life.
His talent can only be regarded as ordinary, he can practice to the realm of opening acupoints, and it is already good to be an elder in the outer gate of the Hexagram Mountain Sect, and under normal circumstances, Elder Han will also accept his fate. It's just a coincidence that he got an ancient recipe that records a refining method called 'Rejuvenation and Longevity Pill', and he was really tempted.
The cultivation of a martial artist is a race against time, and it is the wish of every martial artist to be able to practice to a higher stage when the qi and blood are at their peak, and even to reach the legendary realm that can prolong life. But in fact, there are more than 10,000 people practicing martial arts in this world, and how many people can really reach that realm?
It's more that 'although the cultivation is fruitful, it is approaching the twilight of life', but the 'Rejuvenation and Life Extension Pill' recorded in the ancient recipe is a miracle medicine that can prolong the life span of thirty years, and naturally Elder Han is tempted.
Thirty years of life, if he can really prolong his life like this, Elder Han is confident that he can break through to the realm of rigidity and softness, and then he will be a martial arts master, and he will even have the opportunity to enter the inner gate, channel the vitality of heaven and earth, and learn the mysteries of divine law.
And the exercises in the inner door are wonderful, once you enter the inner door, it is a step to the sky.
It was precisely because of this that he was afraid that others would peep into this ancient recipe, so he didn't tell anyone, and after thinking about it, he came up with the idea of studying the art of alchemy and refining this Qi Dan by himself.
It's just that the art of alchemy is so mysterious, after a year, he has repeatedly failed, and he doesn't dare to consult the alchemists in the sect, so the appearance of Xingtian, the descendant of the alchemist, will make Elder Han so excited.
Next, when he asked Xingtian about the non-existent 'medicine refining formula', Xingtian was hesitant and unwilling to answer, and finally refused on the grounds that the ancestral craft was not allowed to be passed on.
At that moment, Xing Tian felt that the old man in front of him had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but he disappeared in an instant. Xingtian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered if he could stay in Hexagram Mountain, and temporarily get rid of Xu Jiang's harassment.
Elder Han pondered for a moment before revealing a kind smile and said, "Since you are from a family of alchemists, it is really unreasonable to just be a miscellaneous disciple in Hexagram Mountain, and it will also insult your background. It's better to be like this, from today onwards, you will stay in the Medicine Garden, and I am also an elder of the outer gate, so it is not difficult for you to leave the Miscellaneous Service Hall and become an official disciple of the inner gate, are you willing?"
Here it comes!
Xing Tian sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a look of surprise, and even stammered a little when he spoke excitedly: "Can it really be like this, willing, I am naturally willing, thank you...... Thank you, Elder, thank you Elder for cultivating!"
"En, my surname is Han, you can call me Elder Han in the future!" Elder Han also smiled when he saw Xingtian's reaction, a miscellaneous disciple, hearing that he could become an official disciple, such a reaction can be regarded as normal.
And his plan is to keep the other party by his side, and think of formulating medicine refining formulas, or even cultivating the other party, so that the other party can help him refine medicine. For him, a disciple who had just quenched the body realm was really easy to control.
So before the sun set, the news that Xing Tian had become an official disciple of the outer sect spread to the Miscellaneous Service Hall, and naturally this news caused an uproar.
"What is the origin of that Xingtian, that he would let Elder Han of the Medicine Garden personally go to the sect disciple hall to ask for someone?"
In the miscellaneous service hall, Jia Gui looked puzzled, and beside him, Wang Tao was even more dumbfounded. The hatred in Wang Tao's heart, he himself has been pretending to be a grandson in the miscellaneous service hall for more than half a year, and he has not become a formal disciple, and he has become an official disciple just a few days after he came to the prison, which is really eye-catching.
"Does Xu Jiang know about this?" Jia Gui asked suddenly.
"Not yet!" Wang Tao hurriedly replied.
"You go and make it clear and explain the situation clearly, lest that Xu Jiang charge this account to us!" Jia Gui was also thoughtful, no matter what the origin of Xingtian was, now the other party was obviously hugging Elder Han's thigh. Although Elder Han's cultivation and status were not as good as Elder Yu Tonghai, he was not something that he could afford to provoke as a small deacon of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall, so he naturally wanted to be exquisite in all directions.
And the reason why Wang Tao was asked to inform Xu Jiang was that Jia Gui didn't want to cause a commotion, even if Xu Jiang wanted to blame, he would only vent his anger on Wang Tao, and it had nothing to do with him Jia.
......
As it got dark, Xing Tian sat in a room in the medicine garden, staring at the copper furnace in front of him and the blazing fire below.
In this day, it can be described as unpredictable, who would have thought that he would change from an ordinary miscellaneous disciple to a full-fledged disciple.
The copper furnace in front of him was obviously a tool for refining pills, and there was a furnace fire around it, after becoming an official disciple of the outer sect, Elder Han gave Xingtian a prescription for a 'quenching pill' and told Xingtian to refine a few quenching pills first.
Xing Tian knew that this was Elder Han's temptation, if he could refine it, it would be all right, if he couldn't refine it, the consequences would be quite serious. Elder Han was not a good man, and once he knew that he had deceived him before, he might not know what kind of vicious means he would use against him.
Refining the pill, Xingtian naturally wouldn't, but Xingtian had already prepared, only saying that refining the Quenching Pill might take a whole night, and in the second half of the night, Xingtian secretly took out one of his few remaining Quenching Pills, and then threw it into the furnace.
In this way, on the second day, he could use the quenching pill to fill the number, but Xingtian had four pins of pills in his hands, which was a little difficult to explain, but Xingtian's plan was not to explain, and to deceive Elder Han first.
In the room, there was only Xing Tian alone, and on the wooden shelves around him, there were all kinds of herbs, the number of which reached dozens, including all the raw materials needed to refine the Quenching Pill.
The night was dark, but Xing Tian began to think about the way forward, although the deceived Elder Han promoted himself to an official disciple, even Xu Jiang couldn't trouble himself for the time being, but the current situation didn't seem to be optimistic.
Inadvertently, he seemed to jump into a trouble again.
Originally, he saw that Elder Han seemed to be worried about alchemy, so he made up such a lie, the original intention was to let the other party not make things difficult for him, and it was better to leave himself in the medicine garden, so that he could avoid the miscellaneous affairs of the Miscellaneous Service Hall. But he never thought that this Elder Han would attach such a high importance to himself, and even promoted himself directly from a miscellaneous disciple to a formal disciple.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Xingtian doesn't believe that the other party will be so kind, and he doesn't believe that a young man who expresses a little understanding of alchemy will be so valued by others.
Then, the focus is on what this Elder Han wants to do himself.
This matter must have a great deal to do with this Elder Han, otherwise there would be no need for the other party to help him like this.
After thinking about it, Xing Tian took down some of the various materials needed from the medicine shelf and according to the prescription of the Quenching Body Pill. Among them, there were more than ten kinds of precious materials such as Yang Dew Grass, Raw Blood Flower, Iron Leaf Grass, and Blood Spot Spirit Mushroom, which was completely an instinct of Xingtian, after all, if Elder Han suddenly broke in, he could also pretend to be combing through the medicinal materials.
Looking at the pile of herbs on the ground, Xing Tian let out a sigh of relief, and then took out the purple gourd, intending to drink a sip of purple water and practice his fist technique. At this moment, the purple gourd in his hand suddenly shook slightly, and suddenly a suction force gushed out from the mouth of the gourd, and all the herbs on the ground were sucked into the gourd.
