Early the next morning, Xiao Cong and Xingliuyun set off, and no one else followed, and even Hongxiang was ordered by Xiao Cong to stay obediently in the Guanghan Palace, because of the full set of acting, they and apprentices wanted to have a real unexpected encounter with the girl.

Xiao Cong is in front, Xingliuyun is behind, Xiao Cong is holding a wooden stick in his hand, beating left and right to open the way for the master, courteous, Xingliuyun is walking behind his back with his hands, with a serious face.

After walking in the dense rainforest for nearly an hour and a half, bypassing an old tree as thick as five or six people hugging, Xiao Cong's eyes lit up, because not far in front of him appeared a girl wearing a hat and a cloak, although her face was veiled, but judging from her figure and eyes, it was the girl from yesterday.

Xiao Cong left his master and happily ran to the girl, unable to hide the joy in his heart,

"It's really you, such a coincidence. ”

The girl's eyes were surprised,

"Why are you again! What a coincidence, are you stalking me!"

Xiao Cong looked innocent and argued:

"I've been here all morning......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a very dissatisfied "cough" behind him, Xiao Cong's face changed, and he quickly stepped aside, bowed his head and said in fear:

"Master. ”

Xingliuyun's expression was faint, and his tone was slightly stern,

"When you encounter a little thing, you panic, what kind of system. ”

Xiao Cong buried his head deeper, and responded in a low voice:

"The apprentice knows that he is wrong, Master. ”

The nebula snorted softly,

"This is the girl you told me about yesterday?"

Xiao Cong didn't change, he didn't dare to raise his head, and only replied, "Yes." ”

Nebula nodded,

"It's a good seedling, no wonder you talk all night. ”

Xiao Cong lowered his head, gritted his teeth with hatred, made something out of nothing, and Xingliuyun could be regarded as finding an opportunity to entertain him.

Xingliuyun stroked the beard under her chin, and smiled at the girl:

"I've always been reckless and ignorant of the rules, if I offend the girl in any way, I'll make amends to the girl here, and I hope the girl won't be surprised. ”

The girl smiled casually and quipped:

"I don't know the rules, but I think he has a lot of rules and regulations in his heart. ”

Xingliuyun smiled apologetically,

The girl laughed, they are all old-fashioned truths, I brought up the apprentice I know in my own heart, I read the book and look stupid, I always feel that everything in the book is right, but I don't know that the world changes, and the cognition should also keep pace with the times. ”

The girl nodded approvingly, and said with a joke:

"Since he is the apprentice you brought up, you know everything about him, so why didn't you set things right in time? You, the master, are doing very unreliable. ”

Xiao Cong raised his head abruptly and said in a shallow voice:

"How can you talk to my master!"

"Shut up! I let you speak?"

Xingliuyun's face was stern, his tone was violent, and with just one sentence, he trained Xiao Cong so much that he couldn't raise his head, so he could only admit his mistake in a whisper:

"Master, don't be angry, you know what you're wrong. ”

The girl laughed loudly,

"It's quite helpless to practice with such an elm head that doesn't look at the head. ”

Nebula shook his head and sighed,

"Although people are a little bit of a tendon, but loyalty and filial piety are out-and-out, and the talent is still high, that is, there are shortcomings and experiences to open up, and the general opening is also reasonable. ”

"Oh, I forgot to report to the girl about the mountain gate," Xingliuyun said: "Under Li Musan, he is the heir of the Jiuye Sect, and he dares to ask the girl where the teacher is?"

The girl's smile was slightly cold,

"There are no mountains and no doors, and the house is ugly, which is not enough for an outsider. ”

Xingliuyun smiled slightly,

"Since the girl doesn't want to reveal too much, it's not difficult to force people down, but seeing that the girl is skilled in collecting drugs, I still want to discuss a thing or two with you, and I hope the girl will give advice. ”

As he spoke, he made another gesture.

The girl sneered,

"Oh, I see, salute first and then soldier, yesterday the little one didn't get a good deal with me, and today I came with the old one to find a field. ”

Xiao Cong was at a loss and self-contained, Xingliuyun was calm and calm, and the clouds were calm and clear.

"The girl's words are bad, the normal communication between people in the same way, how did it get to the girl's mouth, it has become such a despicable thing, the girl is not afraid that she will not learn enough and lose the shelf, it doesn't matter, we won't laugh at the girl. ”

The girl smiled brightly and said:

"It's useless, this girl doesn't mean anything else, she just doesn't want to fulfill your wishes, what can you do?"

Xingliuyun chuckled a few times,

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, if you don't want to communicate with us, it's your loss, girl, but, since you're a fellow believer, I don't mind letting you see what it means to be outside of the world, Chuang'er, take out one of our things and show this girl." ”

"Yes. Xiao Cong respectfully took out a pocket box from his sleeve, handed it to the girl, and said, "Girl, this is the Seven Yin Qu Qiao Dan that my master has refined by hand, I hope you can see it." ”

The girl took the pocket box, looked at it, and handed it back to Xiao Cong,

"You open it!"

Xiao Cong sighed helplessly, generally took the pocket wooden box, and generally muttered:

"What's the point of being so careful, where is the direct trust between people!"

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and handed it to the girl again.

"Oh, is there a hidden weapon?"

The girl didn't say anything, just smiled and took the open wooden box from Xiao Cong's hand, moved it to her nose and sniffed, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she lowered her head and sniffed, her face became serious, and she raised her face and asked Xingliuyundao:

"You did this?"

Xingliuyun didn't speak, just put his hands behind his back, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and nodded lightly like an immortal.

The girl sniffed the elixir again, frowned slightly, and whispered to herself:

"I didn't expect that the alchemy skills outside were already so high, and I could come up with such goods when I met someone casually. ”

Xiao Cong heard that the villain had a will,

"Hmph, you know how powerful we are, my master has said that it is your loss not to communicate with us, you still don't believe it!"

The girl pouted,

"You didn't refine this medicine, what do you have to be proud of!"

"I ...... I can also refine such an elixir in the future......"

"Besides, did your master let you speak!"

The girl once again stunned Xiao Cong speechless, but at this time, she heard Xingliuyun come out lightly and said:

"The girl's words are wrong, although I am a little bit of a disciple, but his talent for refining medicine is definitely not below me, and over time, the achievement will definitely be above me, so refining such an elixir, hum, is only a matter of time. ”

The girl sneered,

"The guy who doesn't even recognize the poisonous weeds is talking about what kind of alchemy talent, it's a joke!"

Xingliuyun's gaze swept over coldly, seeing Xiao Cong tremble for a while, Xiao Cong didn't expect that an excuse he casually found yesterday would become a big hole dug for himself today, this time it's good, but it can be regarded as a hundred words.

Unexpectedly, the girl added fuel to the fire and said:

"Maybe this pill is from your hand? I haven't seen you refine it yourself, if you take the pill practiced by others to cheat and deceive, maybe it's not enough!"

Xiao Cong was suddenly furious,

"You say I can, you can't say that about my master, although my master is not a grandmaster, he is not a deceitful and famous, so I can't allow you to slander like this!"

The girl's bright eyes are long and narrow, and she is even more scathing,

"Yo yo yo, righteous indignation is full of words, and what is said is the same as the truth. ”

"You ......" Xiao Cong was so angry that he trembled.

Xingliuyun put a hand on Xiao Cong's shoulder and said with a smile:

"What the girl said is right, there is no evidence, this elixir can't speak by itself, of course, it can't prove that we practiced it, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it. ”

"But, Master......"

Under the signal of Xingliuyun's eyes, Xiao Cong stopped suddenly.

Xingliuyun smiled slightly, and said meaningfully:

"Girl, it stands to reason that I am not your teacher, and I should not judge your words and deeds, but as a person who has come over, I still have to advise you, it is not easy to practice, don't be too arrogant, most mediocre people are ridiculous in a lazy word, and most outstanding people are defeated in an arrogant word, no matter how high a person's starting point is, it is best to be conscientious, a little more awe, and a little less impetuous, so that slowly, you can realize the true meaning of cultivation, in fact, for the whole world, you and I are just ants. ”

The girl looked at the star stream with an expressionless face, for a long time,

"You old guy is so sanctimonious, and you are worse than your stupid apprentice when you talk one by one, don't you want to compare? Then let's compare, this girl will use her real skills to seal your broken mouth today!"

Xiao Cong saw that the treacherous plan had succeeded, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said righteously:

"It's better than whom, who is afraid of whom, but you have to apologize to my master first, what kind of sanctimoniousness, whose mouth is going to be sealed, is this what your little girl's family said to her seniors!"

As soon as the girl heard this, she came up with a little anger,

"Okay! As long as he wins me, I'll apologize to him!"

Xiao Cong is also full of pride,

"Okay, then it's a word, if my master wins, you apologize to him, if you win......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xingliuyun's slap slapped mercilessly,

"Little rabbit, when is it your turn to give Lao Tzu an idea!"

Xiao Cong covered his head with both hands, his face was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Xingliuyun changed his face like a book, and said with a smile:

"What do you want to compare with that girl?"

"See the real chapter with real practice!"

As soon as Xiao Cong's words fell, he was slapped on the head by Xingliuyun,

"Did I let you speak?"

Xiao Cong was about to cry.

The girl sneered a few times,

"I'm afraid it's not crazy to make a fire stove in this kind of place, it's really an elm head!"

After thinking about it for a while,

"This time, we are not better than refining medicine, than dispensing medicine, using local materials, not only to be able to dispense poison, but also to dispense antidote, the prepared poison should be left for some time for the antidote, otherwise we can't see who has more powerful poison, who has more poison, and who can solve it, even if whoever wins, what?"

Xingliuyun's face did not change color, and he smiled:

"Okay, according to what the girl said, Chuang'er, then you can try it with this girl first, and help the girl warm up. ”

Xiao Cong clenched his fists and bowed,

"Yes, Master!"

But in this way, the girl is not happy,

"Hey, isn't it you comparing with me, what's the matter with sending your apprentice out to compare with me? Isn't it to avenge the disrespectful revenge just now? It's not a kind of person who doesn't enter the door, and the cautious-eyed apprentice really has a careful-eyed master!"

Xingliuyun laughed a few times, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Why, the girl is afraid, do you think that it is forgivable if you lose in the hands of the next apprentice, if you lose in the hands of the apprentices, you can't get over this hurdle in your heart. ”

After this series of confrontations, the girl has long lost the calmness she had at the beginning, and at this time she gritted her teeth and said:

"Okay, this girl will first take the life of your dumb apprentice today, and then tear your face as a master!"

Xiao Cong snorted angrily:

"What a big thing to say, it's not certain who will kill the deer!"

After speaking, the two began to work in full swing.

Although there are some twists and turns, but after all, it is still in Xiao Cong's control, he has long been prepared for this, for today's competition, he didn't sleep all night last night, almost rummaged through Jiang Caijun's collection of books, fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and found a directory dedicated to the ancient Zhou Plain, which detailed the collection methods and treatment processes of many common poisons from the ancient Zhou Plain, and on another codex, Xiao Cong saw several prescriptions for dispensing these poisons, from which it seems that Jiang Caijun also went to the rainforest on the ancient Zhou Plain back then, and this codex should have been written at that time。

Alchemist, although the name is called alchemist, but in fact, dispensing is also a very important craft, a cultivator, if the craft of dispensing is not learned, the refined pill may not be much better, because dispensing is the basis of alchemy, refining is the sublimation of dispensing, the better the dispensing, the better the effect will be after refining, if the alchemy is not repaired, it is also a good thing to repair the dispensing technique.

Xiao Cong's memory has always been different from ordinary people, although he didn't dare to say that he would never forget, but it was not a problem to completely memorize the things recorded in the ancient books and codex in one night, plus some shallow understanding, so at this time, he was not nervous at all.

Looking around, just a few glances, he recognized the surrounding wood-planting snakes and insects, combined with the things he learned last night, carefully ran in his heart for a long time, and made up his mind, and then took out a few things from his sleeve and arms, walked to the side, and carefully collected them with the methods recorded in the book.

The girl not far away is also meticulous, her flexible ten fingers keep flipping, and every step looks so skillful.

After a while, Xiao Cong finished collecting the medicine he needed, and began to prepare the medicine, he first took out a side like a plate, but the whole plate was separated, like the stars and the moon, the middle piece was relatively large, and the parts of the surrounding distribution were relatively small, and there was a slender channel between each part, and the channel was close to a metal sheet, which could be twitched up and down, and it seemed to be for adjustment, he closed each channel tightly, and then put it aside.

Then, he took out a pair of bowls and pestles used to grind medicines, although they are bowls and pestles, and they look like bowls and pestles, but the function of this thing should be very different from ordinary bowls and pestles, and the contact surfaces of ordinary bowls and pestles are all striving to be smooth and traceless, while the contact surface of this set of bowls and pestles is spiky and fine, and in addition, there is a surface full of spikes on the pestle rod, like a washboard used at home.

Xiao Cong first took out a nut-like medicinal herb, squeezed it tightly on his fingertips, and rubbed it back and forth on the place where the pestle rod was like a washboard, and the fine powder rubbed down by the nuts flowed into the bowl cavity along a groove, and then he rolled the pestle back and forth, grinding the medicine that had become powder more finely.

Then, he took out the small medicine bottles that had just been used to collect the liquid venom, opened the stoppers one by one, and poured them into the stars on the disc that were regularly distributed around the moon, and the amount of venom in each star was different, Xiao Cong carefully lifted the metal flakes up, and each flake lifted up at a different height, so that the speed at which the venom flowed from the stars into the moon was also different.

With the continuous influx of various venoms, Xiao Cong gently sprinkled the ground medicinal powder into the moon, the powder was mixed with the liquid medicine, the liquid medicine quickly dissolved the powder, and the whole moon changed color, with the continuous influx of the liquid medicine, the continuous sprinkling of the medicinal powder, the color of the mixed medicinal slurry also changed constantly, and finally turned into a pool of purple red, but this is not over, Xiao Cong's right hand twisted, and a flame rose from his fingertips and burned in the medicinal pulp, just for a moment, followed by a thick smoke rising, dissipated, and then looked at the syrup, it turned colorless again.

The operation on the girl's side was relatively simple, she just threw a few herbs into the mortar and mashed them, and then used the residue to filter out, mixed the residue with some other medicinal liquids, and poured dozens of red ants into the mixture from the small bottle, and the red ants drilled around in it, biting and biting, and actually stirred this rough dregs into a paste!

Then the girl poured some powder scraped from the bark into it, and the ant was all dissolved.

Xiao Cong was not very focused when dispensing medicine, and couldn't help but occasionally glance at the girl's side, the girl's dispensing technique was simple and rude, and an outsider like Xingliuyun would definitely not be able to see the Tao in it, but Xiao Cong had made up for it before, so he could naturally see some of it, he knew that the girl's dispensing method was not difficult in the technique, but in the ratio of various drugs, don't look at her is pouring a lot of drugs into the mortar, but the knowledge in this is too big to put aside the dosage of various drugs, just talking about the use of drugs, it is enough to make people out of reach, so that the repulsive ingredients in different drugs cancel each other, so as to leave only the ingredients needed, which is not something that can be practiced in ten or eight years!

Xiao Cong finished preparing the poison, and then began to configure the antidote, basically repeating the process of Fang Cai - grinding, mixing and adding some other means, it only took less than a column of incense to prepare the antidote.

At this time, the girl's side had almost just finished work.

Xiao Cong took the poison and antidote that had just been prepared and asked:

"According to the girl, how to test the medicine?"

The girl's smile is extraordinarily bright,

"How else can you try it, just eat it yourself. ”

"What?" Xiao Cong was shocked when he heard this, and said in a speechless manner: "This is too ruthless!"

"You don't dare to take your own medicine, who else dares to believe you!"

"What kind of truth is this!"

The girl laughed contemptuously and defiantly:

"What, don't you dare?"

Xiao Cong looked embarrassed, lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked:

"If the antidote I made doesn't work, will you save me?"

The girl laughed,

"Your coaxing master is here, which turn can I save you!"

Xiao Cong sighed,

"Okay!"

As he spoke, he tilted his head and swallowed the poison he had prepared.

When the girl saw this, she was slightly surprised, and she did not hesitate to pour the poison she had configured into her mouth.

Here Xiao Cong has begun to vomit black blood, his eyes are black, his body is shaking, and he is about to fall backwards before he has time to take the antidote, Xingliuyun's eyes are fast, his figure flashes, one hand supports the crumbling Xiao Cong, and the other hand catches the antidote that fell from Xiao Cong's hand, and then poured the antidote into Xiao Cong's mouth without saying anything.

Xiao Cong woke up slowly, chaired on Xingliuyun for a while, then stood up straight, wiped off the blood remaining at the corners of his mouth, and smiled slightly, like no one else.

The girl's side has also returned to normal, but her face looks slightly pale, and her eyes are a little gloomy, he first squatted down, sprinkled some white powder on the pool of blood he spit out, observed for a while, and then slowly walked to the pool of blood that Xiao Cong spit out, sprinkled some white powder on it, and the powder slowly changed color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but the proportion was different.

The girl looked back at her puddle of blood again, her expression was slightly disappointed, she stood up with her arms on her knees, and said reluctantly:

"You won. ”

Xiao Cong tilted his head and asked blankly:

"How do you see that, can you tell me about it? ”

No one can stand Xiao Cong's habit of being a cheap and obedient slut, the girl glanced at Xiao Cong, and then said lazily:

"This is our ancestral poison identification powder, the darker the color, the more toxic, the more complex the toxicity, and the more difficult it is to solve, your poison has two more colors than mine, although my poison has a darker color, but yours is more complicated, so you still win. ”

Xiao Cong nodded thoughtfully and muttered:

"And such an amazing thing......"

Then he raised his head and sneered:

"Can you give me a little, oh no, it's a little bit for me, with this thing, you can easily know if your skills have improved in the future. ”

The girl pouted and glanced at Xiao Cong,

"The beauty of thought!"

Xiao Cong was puzzled,

"Why?"

"The ancestors stipulate that this is not a secret technique, and nothing will be exchanged!" the girl replied resolutely.

Xiao Cong pouted,

"If you don't change it, you won't change it, what kind of good thing it is!"

The girl ignored Xiao Cong's sourness of grapes when she couldn't eat grapes, turned around and shook Xingliuyun to the end, and said respectfully:

"The younger generation has offended the seniors a lot before, and I hope the seniors don't mind. ”

Xingliuyun stroked his gray beard and pursed his lips and smiled,

"The girl is serious, get up quickly. ”
