Chapter 860: A Passing Alchemist
The Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, in the southwest of the world, its body is a plant that grows in the universe, and was discovered by the Medicine Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Ancient Ages, countless years ago, and it has always been owned by the Medicine Emperor, and was used as a medicine garden for cultivating medicinal materials, until the invasion of foreign evil clans, the Nine Emperors of the Ancient Dynasty died in that battle, and the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands became an ownerless thing, and finally became a holy place where alchemists gathered.
The Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands can be said to be a long-standing inheritance force or a holy land for alchemy, and it is a top super force that is a household name in the world, and it has grown continuously in the 50,000 years since the invasion of the foreign evil clan.
50,000 years have passed, the times have changed, and the ancient Wan grassland has not only not declined, but even flourished.
In the past, the ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands were just a force composed of alchemists who were rejected by the Dan God Clan, or were dissatisfied with the Dan God Clan's monopoly on alchemy, and wanted to exchange alchemy with each other, but now there is a faint momentum to compete with the Dan God Clan.
There were three major forces in the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, each led by three great masters of alchemy.
The first Great Master of Medicine Refining was the master of the Hundred Teng Medicine King, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Herbs, who wanted to carve up the Ningtian Continent and was beaten away. The Emperor of Ten Thousand Herbs is the alchemist who has been inherited by the Emperor of Medicine, inheriting the title of Emperor of Medicine, and the King of Hundred Tengs claims to be the orthodox of the ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, the orthodox inheritor of the Emperor of Medicine.
The second great master of alchemy is a member of the Dan God Clan, the Dan God, the Dan God. Countless years ago, this Danshen clansman with great talent for alchemist had no choice but to leave the Danshen clan with his clan because of the failure of the family struggle for power, and finally joined the ancient Wan Prairie, relying on part of the inheritance of the Danshen clan and his extremely high alchemy talent, he broke through that barrier and became a great master of alchemy.
As for the third one, it is naturally the brother of the Nu Yam Holy Rock Nu Mountain that Xiao Yan knows, Shi Yao Immortal, and Yan Yao Shi. This stone medicine immortal is the youngest, and he has no background, he is an alchemist who cultivates freely, because he occasionally gets an ancient alchemist inheritance, and then improves the alchemist step by step, and in just a thousand years, he has relied on his own research to break through the great alchemist master, and become one of the third largest alchemist forces in the ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands.
These three forces are like the Three Kingdoms, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Herbs is the descendant of the Medicine Emperor, so he has the greatest power, and the later Dangu and Yan Yaoshi are equally powerful.
Xiao Yan had already inquired about these things with the Nu Yam Saint before, after all, he just wanted to low-key fulfill his promise to the Zeroless Heavenly Venerable and the Nu Yam Saint this time, and leave after healing, so as not to be targeted by the three great masters of medicine refining The divine fire on his body, he naturally had to understand the relationship between the various forces in the ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands.
Xiao Yan passed the token of the Zhao family of the Ancient Wan Grassland, and successfully entered the Ancient Wan Grassland and came to a city.
"It's no different from an ordinary continent." Xiao Yan stepped on the ground, it was hard to imagine that the place he was stepping on now was a huge blade of grass, the ground was covered with stone bricks, and stepping on it was no different from on land.
The whole city was full of traffic, and at a glance, it was no different from an ordinary metropolis, there were many demonic beasts that had completed their transformation, as well as human cultivators and mortals who had not cultivated.
The city is bustling with people coming and going. There are hawkers who shout and peddle, there are also mortals who visit the bazaar, and there are many cultivators who come and go, cultivators who are weak in cultivation walk in the streets, and those who are strong in cultivation are flying away.
However, there is no doubt that the most here are alchemists, herbs, medicine boys, etc. At a glance, there were many people wearing alchemist robes with a faint medicinal fragrance on their bodies, but what made Xiao Yan a little puzzled was that the alchemist robes inherited by the alchemists here were actually different, with three colors of alchemist robes: white, green, and brown.
Xiao Yan used his soul power to change his appearance, turned into the appearance of a soul jade, walked to a vendor's stall, and asked politely. "Excuse me, how to get to the Zhao family?"
"The Zhao family?" The vendor looked Xiao Yan up and down, and then asked, "Look at Mr. with such a fresh face, it's an alchemist from other places." ”
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, and immediately took out the token.
Seeing Xiao Yan take out the token of the Zhao family, the vendor nodded secretly, pointed in one direction and said, "It turns out that Mr. is a guest invited by the Zhao family, and that is where the Zhao family is located." ”
"Thank you." After Xiao Yan arched his hand and thanked him, he walked in the direction of the Zhao family.
"It seems that not only other families, but even the Zhao family have invited foreign aid." Another companion next to the vendor said.
The vendor who had just come into contact with Xiao Yan frowned, looked at Xiao Yan's back and said, "He doesn't look like an alchemist, I feel that his cultivation is very weak, his qi is like a gossamer, as if he was seriously injured, he may have come to seek medical treatment." ”
It's not that this vendor is so good at cultivating that he sees through Xiao Yan's details, but that Xiao Yan deliberately didn't hide his injuries, making it look like a person who was injured seeking medical treatment, but in fact, Xiao Yan is indeed seriously injured now.
Xiao Yan went straight to the direction he pointed, in the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, although there were many alchemists, it would not be because of the large number that the identity of the alchemists would be reduced, on the contrary, in the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, the status of the alchemists was even higher.
In the Ancient Wan Grassland, except for the alchemist, everything else exists for the sake of the alchemist, such as pharmacies, medical halls, medicine gardens, etc., and the most people who come to the Ancient Wan Grassland are also for the elixir.
Here, as long as you can afford the price, you can buy most of the pills.
Therefore, Xiao Yan was also unimpeded along the way, and after taking out the token, he entered the Zhao family's mansion very smoothly.
After arriving at the central place in the prefecture, I saw that there was still a pharmacist waiting in line, waiting to hand in the medicinal herbs he had planted.
"It is worthy of the ancient Wan grassland, and planting medicinal herbs in such a treasure land is very good in terms of age and color." Xiao Yan glanced at those medicinal materials and nodded secretly, although the grade of the medicinal materials was not high, they were all of the highest grade.
"Master, please come here." Just as Xiao Yan was looking at the pharmacists who were lining up to hand in medicinal materials in exchange for contributions, a voice came from not far away.
"Yes." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.
Xiao Yan is now injured a lot, his spiritual power and physical strength have been suppressed by the divine fire of Emperor Tushegu, it is not unreasonable that the Taiji Fire Roulette can be favored by Xiao Yan, he can't even use the Supreme Dharma Body now.
Only soul power can still be used, Xiao Yan now not only needs healing herbs, but also needs to keep a low profile.
Xiao Yan also knew his virtues, he had offended too many people, the Western Heaven War Emperor, Mahatian, the Hundred Teng Medicine King, and even other super forces, etc., all stared at him.
In addition, now that Xiao Yan has seized the divine fire of the Fire Spirit Clan, it will naturally attract a lot of attention, and it will inevitably be targeted.
He needs to find medicinal herbs to heal his injuries in a low-key manner, and then refine the divine fire before he has the means to protect himself.
And this Zhao family is just able to cover for Xiao Yan.
The Nu Yam Sage also mentioned to Xiao Yan that the Ancient Pill Festival of the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands is a feast for the entire Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, which is divided into two stages, the first stage is the competition of young alchemists, to determine the most talented alchemists, not only can they get rich rewards, but if they can be favored by the three great masters of alchemy, they will also be accepted as disciples.
And the Hundred Teng Medicine King was the champion of the last Dan Festival, and was accepted as a disciple by the Emperor of Ten Thousand Herbs.
The second stage is somewhat similar to the original Pill Clan's Dan Society, which is a competition to determine the strongest alchemist.
This Dan Sacrifice not only selects the most talented and strongest alchemists, but also affects the status of the family represented by the alchemists, as well as the allocated medicine fields, resources, and so on.
It is the most important assembly in the ancient steppe.
The ancient Wan Grassland can ask for foreign aid, just like Xiao Yan, he came with the Zhao family's token, if he passed the selection of the Zhao family, he could replace the Zhao family in the competition.
The Zhao family can get the resource allocation of the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands, and Xiao Yan can get healing medicinal materials from the Zhao family, and everyone has a bright future.
Xiao Yan shouldn't be too familiar with this routine, wasn't this the case with the Ye family at the beginning.
Following the housekeeper of the Zhao family, Xiao Yan came to a rather large medicine field, in which a lot of elixirs, treasures, and heavenly treasures were planted, and the medicinal ages of these elixirs and herbs were different. There are decades of medicinal age, and there are also hundreds of years of medicinal age, and the highest Xiao Yan even perceives that there are thousands of years of medicinal age, reaching the main medicine of the grandmaster-level elixir.
However, the medicinal materials at the grandmaster level are not enough, and such a piece of medicinal field is not in Xiao Yan's eyes, but for a family of alchemists, such a medicinal field is already a very good medicinal field.
When Xiao Yan walked in this lush medicine field, he walked to the depths, and suddenly, his soul power perception heard a voice, and this voice muttered: "Alas, what is wrong with this, I have studied it for a hundred years, and all means have been exhausted, how is it wrong." ”
Xiao Yan turned his head, and his soul power perception probed the past, and he saw that there was an alchemy furnace not far away, but this alchemy furnace had been extinguished, and it was not difficult to see from the surrounding explosion traces that this place had just undergone an explosion furnace.
In front of the alchemy furnace stood an old man, the old man was gray-haired, his face was ordinary, his face was full of sorrow, and he sighed mournfully.
As soon as Xiao Yan looked at this old man, he knew that he was an alchemist, not only was his cultivation not bad, he had reached the earth supreme level, but he also had some alchemy.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he did not continue to follow the butler of the Zhao family, but walked in the direction of the old man.
"Boy, who are you?!" When the old man sensed Xiao Yan approaching, the old man's eyes suddenly stared, and a cold light bloomed in his eyes, which was quite unkind.
However, this can also be understood, Xiao Yan, a stranger who suddenly ran to someone's place of refining medicine, can he be friendly?
"It's just boring, so walk around." Xiao Yan smiled faintly, then took out the Zhao family's token and said.
"It turned out to be an invited guest of an external alchemist." When the old man saw Xiao Yan's token, he relaxed his guard and said with a little smile.
After the old man looked at Xiao Yan, he also noticed that Xiao Yan was injured, and asked, "Are you here to the Zhao family to ask for pills to heal your injuries?" ”
"Sort of, you need some healing herbs to refine the wound medicine." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, it was naturally impossible for him to join the Zhao family.
With a smile, Xiao Yan approached the alchemy furnace, sensing that Xiao Yan was seriously injured and his spiritual power was almost empty, and the old man did not stop Xiao Yan from approaching.
Xiao Yan bent down, wiped a little of the ashes of the pill explosion with his fingers, rubbed it on his fingertips, and said, "Your Dan prescription is wrong, if you continue like this, no matter how many times you practice, it will not be possible." ”
"Boy, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Xiao Yan's words suddenly made the old man a little displeased, and he immediately straightened his face and said.
This old man is a master of alchemy, and it took countless efforts to obtain an extremely precious pill in ancient times, and it is about to be successfully refined, and now that Xiao Yan said this, of course he was unhappy in his heart.
"I'm just telling the truth." Xiao Yan glanced at the old man, and said with a faint smile: "What you got should be an ancient pill, your alchemy technique is correct, and your own alchemy technique is indeed good." If I'm not mistaken, every time you refine the pill, you are about to become a pill and fail when you enter the stage of melting the pill, and finally cause the fryer. ”
"You have tried to weaken the furnace fire, use a milder fire, and use the weak fire of the wood attribute to melt the pill, so that there is really no fryer at the beginning, but it can't become a pill anyway, once the furnace fire is raised, the furnace will be fried immediately."
"How do you know?!" Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the old man in front of him was taken aback, and the whole person jumped up, took a breath of cold air, and his face was like a ghost.
Only he knows such a thing, and the size of the firepower during alchemy is a secret that only he knows, and no second person knows it, but Xiao Yan said it in one mouthful.
"It's nothing, I saw that the ashes of the fryer burned to different degrees, and I knew that your flame was to use a weak temperature furnace fire first, and then raise the temperature, it's just that the furnace temperature is too low to melt Dan." Xiao Yan smiled and said.
Looking at the old man in a daze, Xiao Yan looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him that was still a little warm, and said lightly: "It seems that this alchemy has cost you a lot of effort, but since meeting is fate, then let me tell you the answer." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yan deliberately coughed and said, "Your techniques and medicinal materials are good, generally speaking, it is feasible for you to refine medicine like this." However, this can only be said to be that under normal circumstances, what you are refining is an ancient Danfang, and the ancient Danfang was correct in ancient times, but it is not necessarily true now. ”
"Especially for some medicinal materials that are special to the mainland, even if the medicinal materials have not changed and the year remains the same, but after countless years, the soil, heaven and earth energy of the mainland and even the sunshine time will change slightly, and the accumulation of countless years may make the medicinal materials more or less certain medicinal substances, resulting in the name of the medicinal materials on the Danfang is correct, but it is wrong." Xiao Yan suddenly spoke eloquently.
"Judging from the fact that you will explode the furnace when you increase your firepower, it should be caused by an abnormal change in a certain fire-attribute medicinal material."
