Jiyang City is built on the mountain, and the Nie family is in the west of the city next to the mountain range, with pavilions and buildings, almost occupying one-fifth of the entire city. Jiyang is the southern city of the Dacheng Empire, with a population of more than 500,000 people, very prosperous, and how big is one-fifth of it, you can imagine.

In the Nie family, the descendants generally live in the middle, and the side families are scattered on both sides, as for important buildings such as the "Ink Building" and "Elixir Hall", most of them are concentrated at the foot of the mountain in the middle area, where a large number of masters of the Nie family are also gathered.

The next day, Nie Kong followed the memory in his mind and bent left and right on the bluestone paved road. After being reborn, Nie Kong walked out of the house for the first time, and the place he was going to was the Nie family's elixir hall.

On both sides of the road are blue brick houses, and the Nie family can be seen coming in and out at any time. They wore all kinds of robes, and the language they spoke was different from the language on earth, but Nie Kong received all the memories of this body, and after two days of digestion, there was no inconvenience in listening and speaking.

Listening to the sound of stepping on the bluestone slab under his feet, Nie Kong felt as if he was walking in a historical picture scroll, and he was greeted by a strong sense of antiquity.

After walking for more than half an hour, the faint fragrance of medicine penetrated into his nostrils, and Nie Kong knew that the Elixir Hall had arrived. Sure enough, turning left at the intersection ahead, a quaint building came into view. The building has five floors, about 20 meters high, with smaller layers and an overall triangular shape.

The Nie family's spiritual masters can receive elixirs at different levels according to their respective cultivations. The lower the cultivation level, the more ordinary the medicine that can be obtained, and the Soul Gatherer can only enter the first layer.

Originally, Nie Kong wanted to find some tonic medicines such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflori, and cordyceps sinensis to make a medicinal soup to take a bath, but unfortunately he searched his memory several times, but there was no relevant information. Not only that, but there were no other Chinese medicines in the previous life. Of course, it is not excluded that the former owner of the body is too lonely and unheard.

In the end, Nie Kong had no choice but to come to this place to have a look.

In the past, Nie Kong was not qualified to enter the Elixir Hall, and here, if you want to enter the first layer, you must have the cultivation of the three grades of Gathering Spirits.

There were two strong men standing at the gate on the first floor. Seeing Nie Kong's thin figure, both of them were a little puzzled. The characters who usually come in and out of here, even the little guys in the Spirit Gathering Realm, they can call out their names familiarly, but the thin boy in front of them is very unfamiliar.

"I've seen Uncle Qingfeng. ”

Walking closer, Nie Kong arched his hand at the bearded strong man on his left.

In his memory, Nie Kong had seen this person a few times, he was the same generation as his father Nie Qingyang, named Nie Qingfeng, he was a bold person, and it was said that his cultivation had broken through to the realm of transforming spirits.

"You ......"

Nie Qingfeng was even more suspicious, and carefully looked at Nie Kong a few times, only to find that it was a little familiar. After racking his brains and thinking about it for a while, Nie Qingfeng suddenly slapped the back of his head hard, and suddenly realized: "Come to mind, you are the second boy of the Qingyang family?" Nie Kong...... Your name is Nie Kong, aren't you?

"Anyway, I can't die for the time being. Nie Kong smiled casually.

Seeing Nie Kong so free and easy, there was a hint of discoloration in Nie Qingfeng's eyes. The hook-nosed man next to him frowned and said, "Qingfeng, do you know each other?"

Nie Qingfeng nodded, and sighed a little sadly: "Yes, Qinghong, do you remember what I told you about Nie Qingyang before? Nie Kong is his second son." Three years ago, on the mission to capture spirit beasts, Brother Qingyang and I both participated. Unfortunately, he didn't make it back that time. ”

"Oh, Nie Kong, is that waste who has been cultivating for ten years and is still in the realm of Gathering Spirits?" Nie Qinghong said unceremoniously with a cold face.

Nie Qingfeng looked at Nie Kong embarrassedly: "Ahem, Qinghong, you can't say that, this kid is the same as his brother, he has had a strange disease since he was a child, and even the elders of our family can't cure it." However, his perseverance is much stronger than that of most of the little guys of the Fengzi generation, and he has insisted on cultivating the 'Five-Star Shifting Technique' for ten years, never giving up, and he can't be blamed for not being able to break through. ”

"Whatever the reason, waste is waste. Nie Qinghong's expression showed a trace of disdain, his eyes were close to Nie Kong, sharp as a knife, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm coming to the Elixir Hall to get the medicine. Nie Kong's eyes did not flinch in the slightest, and he looked directly at Nie Qinghong, his expression calm, as if he did not feel the contempt in his words.

Hearing this, Nie Qingfeng and the others were stunned. After an instant, the corners of Nie Qinghong's lips were already sneering: "Get the medicine? What are you kidding? You guys who gather a spirit and a product come to the elixir hall to get the medicine, get out, boy, where did you come from, don't get in the way here." ”

Nie Qingfeng glanced at Nie Qingfeng with a little dissatisfaction, and then reluctantly comforted: "Nie Kong, you better go back first, if there is a lack of medicine...... It just so happens that I still have some elixir at home, so I'll send you to your house in the evening. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Qingfeng. Nie Kong smiled slightly, his eyes looked at Nie Qinghong, and his words changed abruptly, "However, this elixir hall, I have to enter today." ”

"Okay, daring!"

Nie Qinghong's expression was gloomy, he had long been very unhappy with the family's assignment to guard the door of the Spirit Medicine Hall, and he just used this waste to vent today.

Nie Kong's face was calm and he stepped forward slowly. Nie Qinghong smiled fiercely, his right hand was raised slightly, and a wisp of green mangling snake drilled in and out of his palm.

"Nie Kong, you ......"

Nie Qingfeng was in a hurry, this little guy really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the Elixir Hall was the important place of the Nie family, if Nie Kong broke through, he wouldn't be able to protect this kid.

Walking to the front of the steps, Nie Kong stopped, suddenly bared his teeth and smiled, and his palm lightly slapped on the stone lion on the left side of the steps. The surface of the lion was engraved with exquisite patterns, and when a touch of emerald green spiritual power drilled into the stone lion from Nie Kong's palm, those patterns quickly changed, and after a while, they were combined into four words:

Gathering Soul Three!

......

"How is it possible?"

Nie Qinghong's face was full of sluggishness, didn't he say that this waste cultivation for ten years was just a product of gathering spirits? Why did this "spirit test stone" show the three grades of gathering spirits? The "spirit test stone" was specially made by the Nie family to test the cultivation of the clansmen, and it would never go wrong, this little waste had quietly cultivated to the third grade!

After Nie Qingfeng was stunned, he was a little surprised: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to actually cultivate to the 'Three Grades of Gathering Spirits'." Not bad, not bad. "Spirit Gathering Master, there are many Nie families, although Nie Qingfeng is not familiar with Nie Kong, he also knows how rare it is for him to be able to cultivate to the three grades of Spirit Gathering.

"Uncle Qingfeng, then I'll go in. After Nie Kong finished speaking, he stepped up the steps and glanced at Nie Qinghong as he passed by, the corners of his mouth curled, and the smile seemed to mock his eyes.

"Go, go. Nie Qingfeng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Stop!"

Nie Qinghong shouted unwillingly.

Nie Kong turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Qinghong, do you want to violate the clan rules?"

"You, you ......"

Nie Qinghong's face turned blue and red, obviously angry.

Nie Qingfeng patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Qinghong, you are all a spirit transformer, what are you talking about with this kid Nie Kong?" Okay, okay, after the elixir hall closes tonight, I will invite you to drink." I heard that a new chef has recently come to 'Sihailou', and his skills are excellent, how about it, go and try it?" He knew that Nie Qinghong's qi was relatively small, and Nie Qing was helpless, so it would not be good if Nie Qinghong was jealous of him.

Nie Qing snorted stupidly: "Okay, it's cheap for this little waste." ”

“......”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the elixir hall, it is quiet and elegant. Dozens of wooden shelves are lined up in the empty hall. On the shelves are neatly placed many small wooden boxes with the names of the drugs written on the boxes. At this time, there were several thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers choosing drugs in the shelves.

All kinds of medicinal fragrances lingered around his nose, and Nie Kong sniffled a little greedily, for him, this medicinal fragrance was a delicacy.

"Clan cards!"

An old man's voice suddenly sounded, startling Nie Kong, and when he looked sideways, he saw a bald old man sitting behind the table in the dark shadow on the side of the door, supporting his chin with his right hand, drowsy.

Nie Kong untied the small wooden card representing the identity of the Nie family on his waist and put it on the table, this kind of wooden card is very exquisite, specially made by the Nie family, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to imitate.

"Register!"

The old man's eyelids were not raised.

There was pen and paper on the table, and Nie Kong hurriedly wrote down his name.

"Choose your medicine!"

The old man muttered dreamily, "Below the ninth rank of the Gathering Spirit, you can enter the Elixir Hall twice a month, and each time you can choose no more than five kinds of medicines, and the weight of each medicine must not exceed two taels." ”

"Yes. ”

When the old man spoke, he would stop every two words, and his voice was a little uncomfortable. But here he didn't dare to show his thoughts, who knew if this old man was a master, so he hurriedly responded and walked towards those medicine shelves.
