Another extremely lavishly decorated herb shop.

"You two, buy medicinal herbs?"

"Yes."

"What do you need, even if you ask, our store does not say that it is the most complete on the market, but it is not much different."

Mei Feng suddenly became interested, and said: "Then are there any medicinal materials for making superb and holy pills, nine-color chrysanthemums, nine bamboo shoots... ”

"You two, want to see it? Want to buy? Still is? The guy smiled suddenly.

"I want to buy it."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure it's not a joke?"

"Of course."

The guy looked at Mei Feng and the others carefully, and saw that it was not a joke, so he said, "Wait a minute, let me know." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man who was in good spirits and looked like a star walked out, and after some detailed inquiries, he introduced Mei Feng and Luo Xing into the innermost inner room, and took out the only two medicinal herbs that Mei Feng said he had here to make the Holy Pill.

I saw two boxes, one large and one small, on the table, and after the shopkeeper opened them all, he stared at Mei Feng and said: "These are the nine color chrysanthemums and nine bamboo shoots, as for the other medicinal materials Your Excellency said, this store really doesn't have them." ”

Mei Feng snorted, pointed to the medicinal herbs in the box and said: "Xing'er, this thing is a nine-color chrysanthemum, the place of growth is unknown, if you want to meet it, you need to see luck, you look at it, there are nine petals, such as a wheel, and it is divided into nine colors... ”

Mei Feng just introduced to Luo Xing the approximate growth age, appearance, and function of such medicinal materials in front of the shopkeeper, while Luo Xing listened and remembered carefully.

"Have you written down both?"

"Well, I wrote it down."

Mei Feng saw Luo Xing write it down, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, I'm sorry, I'll talk to the apprentice first, I didn't delay your time." ”

The man smiled, although the two masters and apprentices who came here were not dressed luxuriously, but listening to his words, he knew that this person was indeed well-informed, and he should be a famous person on the mainland, so he didn't think much about it, and said directly: "It's okay." ”

"And what is the price of these two herbs?"

"If you are sincere in your desire to buy it." After speaking, the shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and continued: "In this way, I will make the decision for the family, this nine-color chrysanthemum plus nine bamboo shoots, a total of 80,000 taels of gold, how about it?" ”

After the shopkeeper finished quoting the price, he looked at Mei Feng and said without replying: "Of course, if you have something of the same value, you can also exchange it." ”

Luo Xing was immediately stunned after listening to the shopkeeper's words. He didn't expect that in the past, he would still worry about a few taels of silver, but today when he heard the price of these two medicinal materials, it was already high, not about silver, but about gold, or ten thousand taels, it can be imagined, if it is refined into an elixir, what price it will be.

Mei Feng smiled and replied: "Well, the price is fair, but, boss, I'm really sorry, I don't have enough gold and silver on my body for the time being, if I save enough in the future, I will definitely come back to inquire, and I will come to inquire again." As he spoke, he smiled again, and then he was about to pull Luo Xing and walk out.

When the shopkeeper heard Mei Feng's words, he knew that he was bringing his apprentice to learn cognition, and he didn't come to buy it at all, which really made him angry, but he couldn't do anything about it, after all, no one stipulated that he had to buy it if he saw it.

The shopkeeper put away the box, still thinking about it more and more angry, seeing the two of them walking out, one dodged to block the way of the two, his feet off the ground, slowly floated, and said coldly: "Do you know the family behind this store?" If you don't tell me what to call for the two of you, you can come in and out, you can't run away, say who you are. ”

As the boss spoke, many guys gathered around him and glared angrily.

"Boss, don't be angry, I'm Mei Feng, this is my apprentice." Mei Feng smiled and said truthfully.

If a medicinal herb store like this is said to have no background, then no one will believe it, after all, in this troubled world, without a background, who would dare to open a store like this? Therefore, at this moment, Mei Feng can only rely on some of his original fame to try.

When the man heard this, he was about to say who you were, but suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person a few years ago, and then asked with a skeptical attitude: "Are you really Mei Feng?" ”

"If it's fake, if you don't believe it, you can go to Dean Chu of Mocheng Academy."

"Okay, if what Your Excellency said is false, then don't blame you for being unkind." As he spoke, he asked a guy to write down the appearance of the two of them, and quickly went to Mocheng Academy to confirm the matter.

After a long time, the guy came back with a teacher from Mocheng Academy, and finally confirmed that this person was indeed Mei Feng, so he let the teacher go back.

The shopkeeper said: "It turns out that it is really the arrival of Mei Feng, the peak alchemist of the mainland, and your arrival has made the small shop shine, so I forgive you for taking the liberty just now." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't care about your feelings and did this, I apologize to you." As he spoke, Mei Feng clenched his fists.

"You're polite, I heard that you burned due to the exercises, and now..."

"Hey, don't mention the past."

"Now that your identity has been confirmed, then I won't say more, I still look at my Zhong family as a guest when I have time, and the head of my family also admires you very much."

Mei Feng laughed after hearing this: "It turned out to be the Zhong family, Zhong Wuyi is the contemporary head of the family?" ”

"Exactly, you, know?"

"I had a relationship, and I helped refine the pill."

"Oh, I see, man, watch the tea."

"Don't be busy, man." After Mei Feng finished talking to the guy, he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I'm really sorry for today's matter, if there is nothing else, I will go first with the apprentice, and come back to visit another day, please bring a good message to the Zhong family master for me." ”

"How can a family talk about two families, then you are busy first, I will definitely bring your words, please."

"Please."

Outside the store, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "If you need it, you can come to Zhong's house at any time, you are very welcome." ”

Mei Feng also hugged his fists and said: "Okay, thank you, farewell." ”

"Farewell."

While speaking, Mei Feng looked at the words "Western Desert Medicine Bell" on the plaque again, and then turned around and left with Luo Xing.

Although Mei Feng's demeanor is no longer there at this time, it is unknown whether he will rise again in the future, one more friend, one more road, after all, the former prestige is still there, and he has a relationship with the head of the family, this is what the boss thinks at this time.

Mei Feng and Luo Xing went out of the door and turned into the alley, both wiping a handful of sweat, Mei Feng smiled and said, "How is it, is it exciting?" If this family didn't know my reputation, we wouldn't have been able to get out, hehehehe. ”

Luo Xing nodded happily and said, "Master, it seems that your prestige back then was really not small, and you admired it, and this time you can see it." ”

"That's, I want to be your master and me back then... Ay? Why is your kid's mouth getting better and better? ”

"I learned it all from my master."

"Hahahaha, okay, let's go, move on to the next one."

In this way, for the next period of time, Mei Feng took Luo Xing to the medicinal herb store and some shops selling pills every day to teach Luo Xing to recognize the herbs and the appearance effect of the pills.

And Luo Xing didn't care where Mei Feng took him, he just concentrated on watching and learning, and when he encountered the bad attitude of the shop owner, he still felt embarrassed when he was blown out. But Mei Feng told him that no matter what, as long as he learned something, it would be good, and Luo Xing was silent after hearing it, thinking about it.

In this way, Luo Xing's originally somewhat old-fashioned personality is quietly changing, but he feels that he used to be like this.

The grades of the elixirs on the continent are, ordinary, high-grade, superb, superb, holy, and god-like. And when Mei Feng was at the highest level, he could only refine the Holy Grade Pill, and the condition was still average, but it would take a long time to refine this pill once, and the power consumed was extremely large, especially the consumption of the spirit, and it would take several days to recover. For the Divine Pill, in the past 10,000 years, I have never heard of anyone who can refine it.

After each elixir is refined, there may be three grades, inferior: simple molding, some sticky, dull, and average effect. Medium: The appearance of the pill is rough, slightly shiny, and the effect is medium. Superior: smooth and round, bright color, fragrant, and the best medicinal effect.

For the doctor's art and alchemy, it is divided into internal and external use, distinguishing special circumstances, and can also be made into medicinal powder, liquid medicine and other substances, but some high-grade pills require the alchemist to have extremely high attainments. If the refining fails, it is not only the extremely difficult to find medicinal materials or their value that will be lost, but also the human heart.

On this day, Mei Feng saw that Luo Xing had already mastered the basic knowledge of alchemy, as well as the appearance and medicinal properties of medicinal herbs, how to identify herbs and growth years, etc., but after lacking alchemy and medical practice, he decided to start teaching Luo Xing alchemy.

Mei Feng took out the big medicine tripod from the space pendant given to Luo Xing, taught him how to alchemy step by step, and explained in simple terms from the order of making fire, discharging medicine, controlling the fire, etc.

According to Mei Feng's teaching, Luo Xing only failed twice when refining ordinary pills, and he had mastered the proficiency and successfully refined the pills, although the grade was very inferior, but I have to say that Luo Xing's talent was very high.

An ordinary healing pill only needs two hemostatic herbs, while the Hui Qi Pill only needs three wheel grasses.

Hemostatic grass resembles a common ground weed, but has spikes on the tips of the leaves, while wheel grass, as the name suggests, has two leaves on both sides of the whole grass stem, and a large leaf resembling a round wheel at the top of the stem.

Mei Feng confessed that in the future, if there is a stubborn disease that is not easy to cure with pills, and is extremely serious or difficult to treat, only when his own strength is strong, he will refine the pills or treat them, otherwise not only will he not succeed, but there may also be problems, and he told him to practice diligently.

Mei Feng explained the three books in detail again at the fastest speed according to the situation that Luo Xing had learned and mastered for many days, and also assessed Luo Xing's ratio for a long time on the temperature and time that needed to be controlled for refining the pill, and how to control what degree of heat wave.

Finally, Mei Feng, who was satisfied, proposed that he was leaving, and once he recovered, he would come back, and asked Luo Xingyu to bear with him in advance, not to act recklessly, to concentrate on cultivation, and only in the academy can there be such a quiet place for cultivation, and everything will be said when it is strong, if it really doesn't work, go to Dean Chu, because he has already talked to the dean.

Luo Xing knew that the master kept teaching himself day and night, just to leave him when he had mastered it almost completely, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, and asked to go with him again, but he was still rejected by Mei Feng.

After saying goodbye to Mei Feng in tears, Luo Xing started a life of one person again, what will his life be like in the future? He didn't know it himself, and what he didn't know even more was that Mei Feng's farewell was actually several years.

On the day Mei Feng left, Luo Xing was lying on the bed alone, his heart was empty, he looked at the roof blankly, his expression was a little depressed, and he had a lot of thoughts: In addition to his grandfather, these two people who are good to him, everyone has their own things to do, do they always have to leave when they grow up?

After tossing and turning for nearly a night, Luo Xing, who was in a daze, finally fell asleep.

Mei Feng's departure made Luo Xing a little confused these days, he knew that he used to have someone to accompany him, and someone to take care of everything, giving himself a little bit of explanation, knowledge, and planning.

I once remembered that my grandfather took care of me in every way, Bai Longfei explained the principles of life to me, my master took good care of me, imparted knowledge and that expectant look, and everyone's ardent hope for myself, Luo Xing suddenly felt that he shouldn't waste time like this every day.

Since then, Luo Xing pressed the loneliness and homesickness in his heart, and every day as usual, in addition to practicing exercises, he was practicing alchemy, which always kept him busy.

Now that the fire technique has been raised to the realm of the second layer, the understanding of fire control and refining medicine has been raised to another level.

During this time, the academy was very quiet, except for some very few teachers and many students who didn't want to stop cultivating, everyone else went home, because, it was the Chinese New Year, and the students had a month-long vacation.

On this day, after midnight, Luo Xing was thirteen years old.

After a hasty dinner, he walked slowly up to the relatively noisy streets of Mocheng.

Feeling the lights of the surrounding houses, the festive and peaceful atmosphere, the Spring Festival couplets with blessings on both sides of the door, the happy and frolicking children on the street, under the starry sky, a few brilliant fireworks in the sky, Luo Xing didn't know what was wrong, and his heart was sad.

Originally, Luo Xing was already trying his best to restrain himself, and even vowed to use his efforts to suppress his inner impulses, but he found that the more he suppressed, the more turbulent the ideological trend became, and the more he thought about his grandfather and his father and mother who ruthlessly abandoned him, and inadvertently, tears flowed wantonly.

When I was a child, I celebrated the New Year, although I rarely had contact with the people in the village, but I was happy with my grandfather, the new scene of dust removal, pasting Spring Festival couplets, sticking window flowers, stewing big fish, and the happiness of visiting the night market in the town were presented in front of me one by one, lingering in my mind, and could not be dispersed.

Unconsciously, Luo Xing, who was extremely lonely and sad, walked slower and slower, his head became lower and lower, and when he slowly raised his head, he had already walked to a dark corner and almost hit the wall, but he didn't react at all, just glanced at it with blank eyes, and then slowly squatted down.

The mood is becoming more and more depressed, just like this endless night, although there are stars in the sky and a faint bright moon, but the darkness hidden in Luo Xing's heart cannot be lit up no matter what, but is getting thicker and thicker.

Luo Xing couldn't help but choke, tears fell in his eyes, and he shouted sourly in his heart: Grandpa, I miss you, I really miss you. Daddy, why did you abandon me, why! Uncle Bai, Master, where have you gone, and when will I see you again...

Luo Xing didn't know, he thought he was relieved, but this deep crying really released the depression, sadness, longing, and hatred that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

And from today onwards, Luo Xing has never acted like today, but has become stronger, turning all emotions into motivation and working harder.

I don't know how long it has been, but an old voice sounded: "Little one, why are you still crying?" ”

Luo Xing looked at it slowly with teary eyes.

Under the faint moonlight, he saw an old man dressed in green clothes, his hair scattered, his face a little old and haggard, but he looked very kind, appeared in front of him, he found that he did not know this person at all, just glanced at it, and then lowered his head again.

The man shook his head slightly, squatted down, looked at Luo Xing quietly, and said with a faint smile: "Little guy, why are you crying?" ”

Seeing this person asking again, Luo Xing immediately wiped the tears from his face and asked suspiciously, "Old man, who are you?" ”

"Is your name Luo Xing? A student of Mocheng Academy, Mei Feng's apprentice? The man in Tsing Yi asked.

"Yes, how do you know? Who are you? After speaking, Luo Xing suddenly stood up with a vigilant expression.

Seeing Luo Xing's appearance, this person also got up slowly, smiled, and said, "I am the dean of Mocheng Academy, and my surname is Chu." ”

"Huh? You are Dean Chu, I heard Master say it, but I haven't thanked you, please forgive me. Saying that, Luo Xing bowed respectfully, because the exercises he learned were only after Mei Feng and Dean Chu mentioned it, and he got this book on the third floor of the Library Pavilion before he could cultivate.

When Dean Chu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise and said, "Let's go, go back to the academy first, let's talk." ”

Luo Xing sighed and followed Dean Chu all the way back to Mocheng Academy.
