Chapter 11: Elder Shao

Bai Youtian followed the middle-aged woman through the halls and pavilions of the Medicine King Valley to a small remote valley with five three-story buildings in the backdrop of dammed lakes and mountains.

The mouth of this valley is surrounded by wooden fences and wooden gates, all of which are made of fine nanmu, and there is a flowery puppy at the door, barking, but this is just an ordinary dog, not a demon beast or a mysterious beast.

There were wisps of medicinal herbs planted in the valley, and Bai Youtian didn't know what the names of those herbs were, so the middle-aged woman took him to a small building and said respectfully to the building: "Elder Shao, Bai Youtian has brought it." ”

A clear voice came from inside the building: "Well, you go back first, Bai Youtian stays." The middle-aged woman retreated.

Bai Youtian looked at a few small buildings, these houses are all made of a special kind of black stone, and the black stone doesn't know what kind of stone it is, in short, it gives people a very solid feeling, think about it, there is earth fire here, and often alchemy, if the house is not strong, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will burn through.

Bai Youtian waited for a while, and the man's clear voice came from inside, saying, "Your name is Bai Youtian, how old are you this year?"

"Elder Hui, I'm 12 years old!"

"12 years old, you can still follow me for a few years, Bai Youtian, I don't accept apprentices here, I just need a boy who burns the fire and picks medicine, are you willing to follow me?"

"Huh, don't accept apprentices?" Bai Youtian suddenly became dissatisfied, "If the elder doesn't accept apprentices, who can I learn the ability of alchemy with?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you come to me to be a boy, I will teach you the same alchemy skills, and it will not be half a point less than others, but you don't have the status of master and apprentice. ”

Bai Youtian asked again, "Then the elder may point me to the maze of martial arts and cultivation?"

The voice in the small building continued: "This is naturally for guidance. ”

Bai Youtian hesitated for a while, then said, "Okay, I promise to be your child." ”

Not long after Bai Youtian finished saying this, the door of the small building opened without wind, and the clear voice said to him: "Come in!"

Bai Youtian walked into the door of the small building, and was greeted by a huge furnace, which was made of unknown materials, giving people a very simple feeling, on the shelves on one side of the room, full of bottles and cans, and on the other side were several unknown machinery. Bai Youtian was observing everything in the room, and the middle-aged man suddenly threw him a jade slip and said, "This is basic pharmacology, you memorize it first, and I will teach you something else later." ”

Bai Youtian opened the booklet and looked through it briefly, what it said had some similarities with what was written on the wall of the ginkgo leaf space, and he hadn't had time to memorize those contents, so he could learn them together.

The middle-aged man said to him again: "My surname is Shao, my name is Shao Chuhan, in the future, you can call me Elder Shao, in addition to cultivating and helping to refine the pills, you are also responsible for the things that are sent to usher, and the cleaning and cooking matters are the responsibility of the old grandmother, you don't have to care." You go and choose a small building to live in first, I don't have anyone else here, the buildings are basically empty, and besides, you have to greet me when you want to leave the Medicine King Valley, don't bother me if there is nothing to do. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his hand at him, which meant to let him go out, so Bai Youtian took the jade slip into his arms, bowed, and walked out of Elder Shao's small building.

Out of the building, Bai Youtian went to choose a place to live, he picked and chosen, and chose the most remote place near the dammed lake, he had a lot of secrets, and it would be a big trouble if someone found out.

Bai Youtian first asked the old lady to clean the small building, and then took out the futon from the Qiankun bag and spread it on the stone bed on the second floor, this small building has three floors, the first floor is placed with a large furnace for alchemy, the second floor is the accommodation and living place, and the third floor is the warehouse, which is used to hold all kinds of things.

The night in the Medicine King Valley was quiet, and occasionally one or two unknown beast roars could be heard from the depths of the Cangkun Mountain Range. The night was as cold as water, Bai Youtian sat in his small building and practiced quietly.

The vast majority of the martial artists in this world don't need to sleep, they only need to breathe for a while to be able to sweep away their sleepiness, Bai Youtian has never slept in this world for so many days, and he has never felt sleepy.

Bai Youtian meditated and breathed for a while, then got up and lit the torch in the room, and then took out the jade slip that Elder Shao gave him during the day and looked through it with his divine sense.

Half maple lotus

Basically written like this, this jade slip describes a total of 198 kinds of medicinal herbs, including most of the medicinal herbs in this continent.

Bai Youtian memorized with his heart, with his fourfold cultivation of qi refining, it was too simple to memorize these, and after about half an hour, this jade slip had been memorized by Bai Youtian word for word in his mind.

I don't know what is recorded in this booklet, and what is recorded in the leaf space, Bai Youtian thought so, and slowly sank his consciousness into the sea of knowledge.

The fog in the sea had already rained a few times, accumulating into a small puddle, and those mist continued to condense, expanding this small puddle. Bai Youtian glanced at it a few times, then pushed open the door of the leaf space and came to the wall.

The wall records the information of all the medicinal herbs planted in this space, Bai You counted it, there are about 300 kinds of medicinal herbs, much more than the jade slip, this extra should be the herbs that are not in this world, Bai Youtian thought about it, and carefully compared it, there are only more than 150 kinds of herbs on the jade slip on the list here, probably the remaining ones are not real herbs, so there is no record.

After reading this, Bai Youtian began to memorize the information about the herbs recorded on the wall, and by the time he finished memorizing them, the sky was already dark.
