The white-robed old man listened to Sun Li's words, he was angry, he blew his beard and stared, and he gasped several times before explaining: "My medicinal herbs are different from ordinary storage, they are all frozen with cold ice as soon as they are taken off, and the effect is actually similar to that of fresh. ”

"That's different after all, disciple, I'd better pick a little fresh. Sun Li said and turned around to leave again.

"Count you kid very!" The white-robed old man was really anxious, gritted his teeth and suddenly took out a vermilion fruit from his arms, and said loudly, "Boy, in addition to giving you medicinal herbs, I will add this thing, it's okay." ”

"What is this?" Sun Li looked at the thing in the old man's hand, slightly puzzled.

"This is Zhu Guo, it is a holy relic in medicinal materials, although this one is only fifty years old, but as long as it is added, the effect of refining medicine will be greatly improved. When you refine the medicine tomorrow, you put it in, and you will succeed!"

"Really?" Sun Li was a little surprised, he didn't expect the effect of a fruit to be so amazing.

"What kind of eyes are you, the old man has always been a child, and if he says that if you succeed, he can guarantee your success. The old man patted his chest and said, then asked again with a little anxiety, "Do you want to change it?"

"This ...... Or...... Still is...... Let's change it. Sun Lilian changed several words and finally made a decision.

It's too late, it's too soon. As soon as Sun Li said his words, he felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and then his waist was light, and his hands sank. After taking a breath, Sun Li suddenly found that the gourd containing medicinal wine on his waist was gone, and appeared in the hand of the old man not far away, and in his hand was an extra vermilion fruit, which was the one that the old man showed him before.

This speed!

Sun Li was secretly startled, looked at the white-robed old man, and saw that the other party quickly opened the stopper of the gourd, and as soon as he tilted his neck, he poured the medicinal wine inside into his mouth.

With a "bang", a large mouthful of medicinal wine entered his mouth, and the old man's face showed an intoxicated expression. Then he pouted, his face changed slightly, and he frowned, "The taste of this wine...... It's kind of weird, why is it like this?"

"Senior, this is medicinal wine. Sun Li reminded in a low voice, "It is a medicinal wine for the treatment of external injuries, but it can be taken internally." ”

"Is it really medicinal wine?" the old man's eyes widened.

"It's really medicinal wine, I didn't lie to you. ”

"Forget it, forget it, medicine and wine are better than no wine. The old man sighed a little, and then poured another sip of the medicinal wine, and his face showed an intoxicated expression again.

"Then, those medicinal herbs of the disciple?" Sun Li looked at the old man and cautiously reminded again.

"You can't do without you, I can't lie to you at such an age. The old man pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, there was an extra cloth bag in his hand, and he threw it directly, squinting his eyes and saying, "Let's see, it's not these medicinal herbs." ”

"That's it. Sun Li nodded, and then showed a slightly strange expression, "However, the disciple doesn't seem to have told you what kind of medicinal herbs it is, how do you know it, senior?"

"What's so strange about this, then Liu San recruits disciples every year, refining a kind of medicine, and the medicinal materials used are all the same?"

"Liu San, every year?" Sun Li instantly grasped two key points from the words of the white-robed old man.

"Liu San is naturally your name as the alchemy elder. Because of the wine, the white-robed old man became very interested, and he talked endlessly, "As for every year, hehe, yes, Liu San has to recruit disciples every year." It's just that the disciples recruited every year are either dead or disabled because they can't bear his abuse, and the rest are crazy. Therefore, Liu San can only recruit disciples every year. ”

"Dead, disabled, crazy?" Sun Li's expression became exciting.

"Haha, I'm afraid. The old man laughed, "But, I'm afraid it's useless, anyway, you'll know when the time comes." Of course, if you're afraid, you can skip tomorrow's test. Then your Zhu Guo will be useless, it is better to return it to me, and I will give you a set of anti-heaven sword techniques as compensation. ”

"This ...... Forget it. Sun Li looked at the shrewdness in the old man's eyes, quickly took a few steps back, and clenched the Zhu Guo in his hand. What the old man said, about the abuse of disciples by the alchemy elders, whether it was true or false, Sun Li did not know. But now looking at the old man's eyes, he understands that the Zhu Guo in his hand must be very precious, and it seems that the effect of the said should also be inseparable.

"No, no, what are you afraid of. The old man may have seen Sun Li's wary face, and said with a little embarrassment on his face, then muttered a few words, and poured another sip of wine.

"Forget it, forget it, you're not afraid of death, then go ahead, anyway, it doesn't matter to me what happens to you. The old man said this as he drank his wine.

Sun Li smiled, then his face was straight, and he bowed to the old man very respectfully, "Thank you seniors for your advice, the children are unforgettable, and the children will retire." ”

"That's leaving, don't accompany me, a bad old man?" The old man was stunned by Sun Li's decisiveness, and then waved his hand again, "Forget it, it's okay to go, let me drink quietly by myself when I go, let's go." ”

"Yes. Sun Li nodded, then bowed again, turned around and walked towards the way he came, simply neat, not dragging mud and water at all.

After Sun Li left, the old man in the same place had a glint in his eyes, and then touched his face a little unnaturally, and said to himself: "Could it be that before, the expression I wanted to drink was so obvious that I could let this kid see it, and then tricked a Zhu Guo to go? Oh, that's a fifty-year-old Zhu Guo, and I don't have a few of them now, so I just beg to fight." ”

"Still, it's okay. The old man took a sip from the gourd, and said with some sigh in his tone, "After all, for so many years, no disciple has dared to give me wine to drink, you are the first, and it doesn't hurt to give you a Zhu Guo." ”

"In addition, if you are not afraid of me and dare to knock on my bamboo pole, you can be regarded as bold. A little bit of knowing how to crack the mystery of the Big Dipper is also interesting, yes, it's interesting!"

"It's funny, I haven't seen such an interesting disciple for a long time, and the last time I remember it was seven years ago. The old man who was drinking showed a look of reminiscence, "Alas, I hope you don't have to be the same as that one, after all, Liu San looks old enough now, old enough......"

The old man's voice slowly dissipated in the wind, and there was an indescribable sigh in the night.

And Sun Li naturally didn't know what the old man said, just took the medicinal herbs and Zhu Guo, and walked in the direction of his residence, and finally his figure disappeared into the night.

Four hours later, Sun Li and Chen Xuan walked into the cave of the alchemy elder almost with their front feet and their back feet.

And in the cave, the gray-haired old man of the alchemy elder was standing in front of a huge bronze medicine tripod, and after hearing the footsteps, he glanced at the two people who came in, and said very directly: "Since you are here, let's start." ”

"Yes. ”
