Chapter 10 Apprenticeship 1

"Senior Xuan, you said you want to sue me something, what is it?", Tianqi looked at Lian'er and ran out, sniffed the fragrance that was still on his forehead, and then slapped his face with his little hand, and quickly withdrew his heart full of little evil, looked at Xuan Lao, thinking that the old man sitting in front of him was a very powerful and strong man, Tianqi's expression was solemn.

"Don't be in a hurry to talk about this first, you can drink this tea first and see how it tastes?" Xuan Lao asked Tianqi to rest for a while, and then personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Tianqi.

Tianqi hurriedly got up, stretched out his hands and respectfully took Xuan Lao's tea, an old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years personally handed him tea, and continued disrespectfully, is that still a person?

"Senior Xuan, what kind of tea is this, why is it so delicious?" Tianqi took the tea, took a sip, and felt that as soon as this tea entered his throat, his whole body was like sitting in an ice cave in the hot summer, comfortable and energetic, wonderful.

Xuan Lao just sat on the side and looked at Tianqi with a smile, not in a hurry to answer Tianqi's question, but said, "Drink slowly, there is more."

Tianqi drank a few more sips without hesitation, and after drinking, he picked up the teapot unceremoniously and poured it himself, until his little belly was no longer able to hold anything, so he snorted and put down the water cup.

Seeing that Tianqi was full, he began to explain slowly: "This tea is called Ningshen Tea, which has the effects of refreshing and calming the mind and quickly restoring physical energy, and I made it with some herbs casually. ”

"Is this tea casually configured?" Tianqi heard this, how could he not be surprised? This small cup of tea can definitely catch up with a Huili Pill sold by his own family, although the effect may not be as good as Huili Dan, but the difference is not big, and Huili Dan is a low-grade elixir, Huili Dan is definitely a life-saving medicine for mercenaries who often face life and death, and it costs several gold coins to sell one on the market. If this tea can be taken out and sold, how much money can be earned from a pot of tea is definitely as much as what ordinary people earn in a year. When God thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but shine with a bright light.

"Don't you believe it?" Xuan Lao naturally knew how to explain it, so it was better to let Tianqi see it with his own eyes, Xuan Lao shook his hand, and a large number of medicinal herbs appeared on the table, and the teapot on the table had been pushed to the side of the table by Xuan Lao.

"Senior Xuan, what are you?" Tianqi smelled the faint aroma of the herb and was refreshed. But he wondered what Xuan Lao was going to do, wouldn't it be to dispense medicine in front of him, right? You must know that the Yi clan also bought some alchemists, but even the patriarch of the Yi clan, that is, Tianqi's father, did not have the right to visit the refining process of these alchemists, after all, the prescription is the most secret thing for every alchemist.

"Tianqi, you just look at it, you don't need to ask" Xuan Lao glanced at Tianqi and smiled at him. Then he just picked some of the herbs from this large pile of herbs, threw them casually, and fixed them in the air, Xuan Lao stretched out his right hand, and a light purple flame rose from it, feeling that there was no energy fluctuation. I saw that as soon as these herbs touched the lilac flames, they all immediately turned into a ball. Xuan Lao wanted to refine medicinal herbs in the air!!

Tianqi held his breath in surprise, his eyes were glazed, he hadn't heard of someone refining medicinal herbs and other things that didn't need medicinal tripods.

"Refining this kind of thing has not yet reached the qualification to take out the medicine tripod", although Xuan Lao was refining medicinal herbs, he didn't look at the medicinal herbs being refined at all. Instead, he guessed Tianqi's question, looked at Tianqi, and explained to him with a smile.

When Tianqi heard this, he immediately understood that Xuan Lao was not a simple alchemist.

In less than ten breaths, it turns into a liquid of various colors. However, the medicinal liquids of these various herbs did not fuse, and Xuan Lao stopped refining, if he was refining for a while, and waited for the various medicinal liquids to fuse and polish, it would definitely be a good elixir. "Senior Xuan, what are you?" Tianqi showed a pity look, after all, as long as you work hard, you can produce a good pill, what is the concept of a pill, it is at least ten times more expensive than these liquids.

"Hehe, Tianqi, don't you want to know how this tea is made? just mix these medicinal liquids to make this tea. With a wave of his hand, the remaining medicinal materials disappeared in an instant, and he mixed these medicinal liquids with a small jade bottle and handed them to Tianqi.

Tianqi cautiously continued, looking at the liquid medicine inside, the liquid medicine was not fused together, but separated from each other, layer by layer.

Tianqi stuffed the jade bottle, put it on the table, and sighed softly.

"What's the matter, don't you feel sorry for the fact that I didn't make more effort to fuse the liquid medicine to form the pill just now?" Xuan Lao looked at Tianqi's lost appearance, and said with a smile instead.

"Well, Senior Xuan, seriously, you definitely have the strength to refine it into an elixir just now" Tianqi pushed the jade bottle in front of Xuan Lao's eyes, and said with regret for Xuan Lao.

"Hehe, don't be so sad, just that little thing, what's there to regret, when you really start to learn alchemy, you will find out what is called regret and what is waste. Xuan Lao stretched out a hand and put it on Tianqi's small shoulder, patted it, sighed, and then said: "Only when you refine the medicine as pure as fire, and can easily refine the high-grade pills, then, when you refine these low-grade pills, you will not have anything to regret." ”

Tianqi was silent for a while, then suddenly jumped up from the stool, knelt on his knees in front of Xuan Lao, with a hint of request in his eyes, and said sincerely: "Senior Xuan, please accept me as an apprentice and teach me alchemy."

"Hehe, Tianqi, in this heaven and earth, who doesn't want to be an alchemist, but if you look at how many alchemists there are in this heaven and earth, your family has invited three alchemists, and one of these three is a middle-grade spirit pill master, and the other two are just low-grade spirit pill masters who have just entered the threshold of alchemists, and your family still has to treat them as elders, but with these three people, your family has a little façade in the west of the entire Fili Empire. Therefore, it is not just anyone who can do it, and how many people can meet the harsh conditions of being an alchemist?" Xuan Lao turned around, turned his back to Tianqi, and said with a serious expression.

Tianqi didn't pay attention to why Xuan Lao knew so much about his family, but put his mind on another place.

For the elixir, Tianqi has seen it in some ancient books, from low to high, Lingdan, Yuan Dan, Shengdan, and the legendary Emperor Dan. And each of these elixirs is divided into lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade. For example, the lower grade elixir is not as good as the upper grade elixir, and the upper grade elixir is not as good as the lower grade Yuan Dan.

"Then what are the harsh conditions for being an alchemist?" Although he knew that it was very difficult to be an alchemist, and he didn't expect it to be so difficult, but the more this was the case, the more Tianqi wanted to be an alchemist, and Tianqi also knew that every outstanding alchemist was followed by an excellent alchemist teacher, wasn't Tianqi an excellent alchemist in front of him?

"Do you really want to become an alchemist?" Xuan Lao slowly turned around and said lightly to Tianqi.

"Hmm" Tianqi said with a firm gaze at Xuan Lao's words, seeing a trace of firm gaze flashing in Tianqi's dark eyes, Xuan Lao was still relieved in his heart, but his expression was still stern.

"The most basic thing for an alchemist is to have fire, so do you have fire?" Xuan Lao knew that Tianqi had no fire, but he deliberately embarrassed Tianqi and asked.

"There is firewood at home" Tianqi was a little puzzled by Xuan Lao's question, who has no fire at home, how can he cook without fire? Tianqi didn't know that Xuan Lao was not referring to firewood, so he had to sneer.

Xuan Lao heard Tianqi's answer, and suddenly had a feeling of spraying rice, which is too speechless, Xuan Lao wants to have a seizure, after all, he said this, he is deliberately making things difficult for Tianqi, the fire of instinct is only the spirit after the enlightenment of the spirit began to have, he is only ascetic of the fifth order, and he has not yet enlightened the spirit, I don't know that this Xuan Lao is asking about the instinctive fire is also understandable.

"I'm not talking about firewood, but the fire of instinct, forget it, you haven't even reached the spiritual realm, there is no instinctive fire at all, you can't be it. But Xuan Lao was still a little angry, and at the same time wanted to try Tianqi's determination.

Tianqi naturally didn't know that this was Xuan Lao saying that he wanted to test his determination, but he didn't consider these, he only knew that in this life, he must become an alchemist.

"Then I can wait, when I reach the realm of entering the spirit, after I have the fire of instinct, I can also become an alchemist, so I can worship you as a teacher first" Tianqicai doesn't care about anything else, let's finish worshipping the master first.

"And my sue sù you, as an alchemist, you have to put a lot of energy into alchemy, and you don't have much time to cultivate, so almost every alchemist is not a strong cultivator. Therefore, you have only one choice, either give up your cultivation and become an alchemist, or, give up becoming an alchemist and become a strong spiritual cultivator, I promised you, if you choose the latter, I will help you become a strong spiritual cultivator, which one do you choose? Don't rush to tell me first, think about it first and then talk about it", Xuan Lao finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, for this question, in fact, no matter who it is, it will take a certain amount of time, think carefully, and make a careful decision.

And for this multiple-choice question, the real answer in Xuan Lao's heart is to choose both, for a person like Tianqi who draws out the purple qi from the east, he definitely has this talent, and the two are double cultivated.

"Senior Xuan, isn't alchemy itself a kind of cultivation?" Tianqi was also unwilling to give up either of the two, he was unwilling, so he chose both.

"You mean to choose both?" Although Xuan Lao wanted Tianqi to say this answer in his heart, Tianqi was really so fast that he didn't even think much about it, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Isn't it possible to choose both at the same time?Senior, aren't you both a strong cultivator and a senior alchemist?" Tianqi looked at Xuan Lao with a torch-like gaze.

"Hehe, it's a little interesting", Xuan Lao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, even if he had deep concentration.

"That's good, the dual cultivation of the two must also have super endurance and self-confidence, not afraid of hardship, but also not afraid of setbacks, you first ask yourself, see if you can have this determination, this perseverance, this endurance," in fact, Xuan Lao identified him as an apprentice as early as the first time he saw Tianqi in his heart, and asked these messy questions to see Tianqi's determination.

"I have !!," Tianqi replied without thinking as always, and Xuan Lao could clearly feel the firm perseverance exuded by Tianqi.

"Okay, I hope you can remember your words" Xuan Lao smiled, walked over, and then said to Tianqi seriously.

"Then, senior, did you promise? That apprentice to meet the teacher" Tianqi had a big smile on his face, and quickly kowtowed three times.

"Well, I promise you for the time being, if one day in the future, I find out that you didn't do what you said today, you don't call me teacher anymore, okay, don't kneel, get up" Xuan Lao sat on the stool, accepted Tianqi's three rings, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and he reached out and pulled Tianqi up.

"Teacher Xie" Tianqi also stood up in one go, as if there was endless joy on his face.
