Chapter 107: Qionghua's Feast
A line of text appeared on the stone wall of the alchemy room at some point, but neither of them noticed that the corners of one person's mouth were slightly hooked, and there seemed to be only the red in front of him under his eyes.
The other had red lips slightly open, and his eyes were a little abruptly staring at the process of the herbs crossing Nie Yun's fingertips and throwing them into the medicine pod, and for a while he felt that this was much more exciting than the Beijing opera that he usually loved to watch.
After a few moments, the wind and rain stopped.
Nie Yun looked at the pale yellow round in his palm and smiled slightly, casually stuffed it into the jade bottle, and gently threw it towards Shen Ling'er: "Ah, this is my self-created Violent Qi Pill, send you to study it." ”
"Ahh As soon as Shen Ling'er came back to her senses, she saw a jade bottle flying towards him, and in a hurry, the two jade palms churned up and down, so she finally held the jade bottle in her palm, carefully put it into her arms, and let out a long sigh.
"You just threw away such an expensive pill." Shen Ling'er rolled her eyes and said coquettishly.
"Hey, that bottle is sturdy, and it's the same if you don't catch it." Nie Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Okay, you're almost rested, continue alchemy." ”
"Uh... Either that's it for today and tomorrow. Shen Ling'er sighed slightly, after reading Nie Yun's alchemy, she didn't learn any techniques, she was a little ashamed of herself, thinking of her embarrassed appearance when she was alchemizing, she couldn't raise her interest in alchemy for a while.
"How can this work?" Nie Yun shook his head vigorously, learning from the way the master forced himself to practice back then, and said with a straight face: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. A little worse today, about the same tomorrow, and much worse by then! ”
"Ah~" Shen Ling'er's red lips opened slightly, pulled the corner of Nie Yun's dark red clothes, and looked at Nie Yun aggrievedly with a pair of big translucent eyes, but her voice was extremely crooked: "Don't~Master~"
"......" Nie Yun's shoulders shook suddenly, and he hurriedly quietly transported a trace of qi, forcibly smoothing the goosebumps that instantly raised on his body, and wanted to say a few big words, but he was speechless for a while.
I think that the master just said such a sentence back then, and if he didn't listen to it, he would be beaten, where did he get so many crooked babbles.
Can you beat Shen Ling'er by yourself?
Nie Yun turned his head, glanced at the pair of watery eyes that blinked and blinked, and patted his head with a headache, although it is not a big deal to rest for half a day, but the majesty of our master cannot be lost.
And just when Nie Yun was in a dilemma, Shen Ling'er's crisp voice with a little joy came.
"Eh, master, look, there's someone looking for you outside." Shen Ling'er pointed to the huge stone wall in front of the alchemy room.
"Huh?" Nie Yun was slightly stunned, then he noticed the pale gold font on the stone wall, and then waved his hand "helplessly": "Then forget it today, don't take it as an example." ”
"Hee-hee, that's for sure." Shen Ling'er shook Nie Yun's sleeve with a smile and said, "Master, go and see what others are looking for you, it's not good to delay." ”
Hehe, I'm afraid don't delay your rest... The corners of Nie Yun's mouth twitched slightly, but he still got up and opened the stone door.
As the stone door rumbled open, first a dark red robe was revealed, and then a wrinkled old cheek.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Shen Ling'er's eyes lit up, she ran up in two steps, hugged her emaciated arm and said in surprise: "Let me tell you, I have been able to completely refine the medicinal materials, and I am also a little sure of the Ning Dan, maybe I can become an alchemist this week!" ”
"Yes." Elder Shen Dan touched Shen Ling'er's head with a smile, and said with a doting smile on his face: "Then my Ling'er is really a little genius." ”
"Of course." Shen Ling'er's red lips curled slightly, and she quietly glanced at Nie Yun who was helpless on the side, and playfully stuck out her tongue and continued: "Of course, it has something to do with the master's good teaching." ”
"Haha, after all, it's the youngest elder of our Alchemist Association." Elder Shen Dan smiled, turned to Nie Yun and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Elder Nie Yun." ”
"Elder Shen Dan is polite, since he has agreed to accept apprentices, then he naturally has to teach him well." Nie Yun took a step back slightly, avoided this salute, waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no master who does not teach his disciples." ”
"Hehe, no matter what, I'm still taken care of by Elder Nie Yun." Elder Shen Dan smiled, and he was still very sincere to Nie Yun's dedicated teaching.
He knew that his granddaughter's talent was not bad, but it was still a bit unrealistic to say that he could completely refine the herbal essence in one day and successfully refine the Hui Qi Pill in one week, which must be inseparable from the meticulous and careful teaching of Nie Yun, an alchemy elder.
You must know that most alchemists will accept a lot of so-called apprentices, so generally speaking, there will not be the effort to guide each apprentice at all, but let the apprentices try it themselves.
Like Li Fuzi in the University Hall, in fact, the same, only when everyone else has learned one after another, and he no longer needs to worry about his own independent alchemy room, will Li Fuzi have time to guide the rest.
And the casual cultivators outside are not so lucky, they will find it difficult to worship the real alchemy masters in the first place, and they can only worship those who are relatively lame, and even worship the kind of alchemists who specialize in accepting apprentices for a living.
It is the kind of alchemist who immediately recruits new disciples when he has one of each church, or when the scattered cultivators can't support the high amount of restraint and leaves.
With such a teacher, whether or not you can learn is almost entirely dependent on your own talent...
However, Nie Yun obviously doesn't know, and he doesn't understand such a teacher-student relationship, in his opinion, the relationship between the master and the disciple should be like himself, the master, and the senior sister, the feeling of a family, the most unfortunate thing is the relationship between the respect and the guest in the university hall.
"It should." Nie Yun shrugged his shoulders casually and said, "Elder Shen Dan won't come here today to come to Ling'er's study situation, right?" ”
"Not really." Elder Shen Dan patted his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot about business as I spoke, I came here to find you today." ”
"Oh?" Nie Yun touched his chin, and a wisp of confusion flashed in his eyes.
I saw Elder Shen Dan smile and take out a gilded card from his sleeve and hand it over, explaining by the way: "Today, the Holy Lord has summoned talents from all walks of life in Kyoto to hold a Qionghua feast on the tenth day of the first month, which of course includes our alchemy world. Speaking of talents, you, the youngest elder of our association, are naturally on the list of invitations. ”
Taking advantage of Nie Yun's efforts to take over the bronzing card and look at it carefully, Elder Shen Dan continued: "I heard that this Qionghua feast is quite large-scale, not only invited us from all walks of life in alchemy, spirit runes, and puppets, but also all walks of life in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting to participate. I've heard that leaders from all walks of life can get a lot of rewards. ”
"Uh... I'm not interested in rewarding or not, but I can bring a few people in. Nie Yun casually put away the bronzing card, and said helplessly with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He can't leave his senior sister and Xiao Xue alone, let's sneak away...
"Uh... I think I've heard that you can only bring one in. Elder Shen Dan thought for a moment and replied with some uncertainty.
“... Forget it, I'm not going. Nie Yun selectively ignored Shen Ling'er's lit eyes and shrugged.
Although I am very curious about what Qionghua feast is, I want to let the senior sisters know that they are secretly playing behind their backs.... And bring a beautiful girl, although this is an apprentice... Forget it.
"This invitation can't be begged for by many people outside, so you won't go if you don't go?" The corners of Elder Shen Dan's mouth twitched slightly.
“... Could something go wrong? Nie Yun scratched his head and said, "If the Holy Lord will remember me because of this, then I'd better go." ”
"Hehe, you're thinking too much." Elder Shen Dan waved his hand helplessly and said, "How can the Holy Lord remember such a little guy as you because of this little thing, forget it, if you don't go, you won't go, it's not a big deal." ”
With the scale of Qionghua's feast, it can be seen that there is one more person and one less ghost.
"I don't think so." Nie Yun smiled.
"That's okay, if you like to go or not, I've already delivered the invitation card anyway, so I'll leave first." Elder Shen Dan said as he shook his head.
"Eh, wait, Elder Shen Dan, there's one more thing I want to ask you." Nie Yun stretched out his hand and pulled Elder Shen Dan's dark red robe.
Elder Shen Dan turned his head with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Oh? ”
"Ahem, it's not a big deal." Nie Yun paused slightly, and organized his words a little: "I just heard that the eldest prince of the Qian Mansion occasionally suffered a bad illness and summoned most of the Kyoto alchemists, I don't know what the situation is now." ”
"Oh, it should be Elder Nie Yun's first visit to Kyoto, and the Qian Mansion has never heard your name, so he couldn't invite you." Elder Shen Dan smiled slightly, thinking that Nie Yun was dissatisfied with not inviting him.
"As for that evil disease..."Speaking of this, Elder Shen Dan frowned slightly and said, "It's too tricky, I'm afraid it can't be cured." ”
Sure enough, I'm going to die in a few days... Nie Yun nodded secretly, but he shook his head and said, "That's a pity." ”
"Yes, I've seen that young man, and he's pretty good-looking, but it's a pity." Elder Shen Dan shook his head as he said and sighed, "Now inexplicably he has become a skinny appearance, and he can't move. ”
Knowing what he wanted to know, Nie Yun ended the topic after a few words of greeting, and returned to the alchemy room after bidding farewell to Elder Shen Dan.
"Master, can you take me to the Qionghua feast?" Shen Ling'er poked her head over at some point, and looked at Nie Yundao with a pair of eyes "Buling Buling".
"Uh... Why don't I give you the invitation and go by yourself? Nie Yun tilted his head and said.
"How can I go alone!" Shen Ling'er's red lips pursed slightly, hugged Nie Yun's arm and said coquettishly, "Come with me." ”
"It's not that I don't want to take you there, the main thing is that this invitation can only bring one person." Nie Yun patted his head helplessly, stretched out his other hand and snapped his fingers one by one, and said, "Na, my senior sister, that is, your teacher... My aunt is going too, then your aunt is going, one of her friends is also going, and you're all three of you, how can you get in. ”
"Then we can sneak in." Hearing that it was my aunt and my aunt's friend, Shen Ling'er's eyes showed a trace of helplessness, and her smart eyes turned slightly.
"Don't. When the time comes, I'll lose face if I'm caught. Nie Yun hurriedly waved his hand.
"Do you want to go~"
Nie Yun sighed helplessly.
"That's it, I'll ask my sister if they're free, if not, I'll accompany you, if you're free... I'll send you in and come out myself..."
It's not like this senior sister is secretly enjoying themselves...
