Sitting in the shade of the tree outside the stone house, there was a fragrant tea on the stone table in front of Qin Wen, the old man opposite was a little embarrassed, and the little servant also looked curiously at this calm young man who was only a few years older than himself.

The cool breeze in the valley, the aura between heaven and earth is also a little stronger than in the manor, the old man took a sip of tea, and asked a little tentatively: "I don't know how many generations of the Qin family you are?"

Qin Wen said casually: "My name is Qin Wen, and I am a side line." ”

"Qin Wen?" The old man thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have heard of this name, but at this time, the little servant next to him had a light in his eyes and blurted out: "Which child of the Qin family has had a strange illness for three years?"

Qin Wen couldn't help but rub his nose, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

There was silence in front of the stone table again, and the scene became even more embarrassing than just now, Qin Wen learned from Qin Lu's mouth that when he was sick, Qin Lu had come to the Medicine Valley to seek medical treatment, and was kicked out, and the expression of the little servant in front of him also clearly proved that he should also know about this matter.

For a while, the three of them didn't know how to talk, Qin Wen and the old man picked up the tea cup in front of them at the same time, hiding the embarrassment on their faces.

The old man hesitated for a moment at this time, put down the teacup and said, "Since you are a disciple of the Qin family and have the talent for alchemy, why don't I tell your patriarch how about I accept you as a disciple?"

If other disciples of the Qin family heard this, they would definitely hurry up to apprentice, and if they could become alchemists, their status in the cultivation world would rise in a straight line, and after they completed their studies, they would make an offering in any family, and the cultivation resources would be withdrawn at will, just like the status of this old man in the Qin family.

Qin Wen's current divine consciousness is Tianyanzi, who has practiced the Dan Dao for thousands of years, and the condition that the old man said is just a joke in his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the Gu worms in his body have not been expelled now, and there is a hidden threat brought by the Gu people outside, he is not familiar with this place, so he is too lazy to make friends with the alchemy of a small family.

Qin Wen drank all the tea in the teacup, and said in his heart: "I just want to make a deal with you." ”

The old man looked at Qin Wen in surprise, none of the Qin family disciples he knew didn't want to worship under him, the young man in front of him actually rejected him, and then thinking of Qin Wen's evaluation of the furnace pill just now, the old man couldn't help but face it squarely, and asked, "What deal?"

"You help me refine a furnace of pills, the prescriptions and herbs are all produced by me, if you use the earth fire, you can produce the pill in twelve hours, I can tell you how to refine the furnace of Xuan-level lower-grade pills just now, and the probability of refining should be more than ninety percent." ”

The old man not only gasped in his heart, with his current experience, the Xuan-level low-grade elixir was only a pitiful thirty percent certainty, if it was ninety percent, it was estimated that even his master would not dare to have this kind of certainty.

However, he also kept an eye in his heart, although the conditions of this young man of the Qin family were simple, if he was tricked, he would be rumored to be a joke in the Qin family, so he asked, "How can I believe you?"

Qin Wen glanced at the pill that was still cooling in the jade plate and said, "Your furnace of pills has a total of six flavored main medicines, three strains for three hundred years, and three strains for five hundred years, I am not wrong." ”

The old man's face was not only a little red, just now he boasted through the fence that he had used eight kinds of five hundred years of elixir in this furnace elixir, originally wanted to shock the young man in front of him, but he didn't expect that this young man's attainments in alchemy were not inferior to his own, so he had to hide his face and said: "Okay, I believe you for the time being, what kind of elixir do you want to refine?"

Seeing that his master was embarrassed, the little maid in Tsing Yi couldn't help but stiffen his back and turn around, he couldn't hold back the smile in his heart anymore, his eyes were crooked, and two cute little tiger teeth were revealed in his mouth.

The old man also noticed the abnormality of his little servant, and when he saw his shoulders swaying slightly, he said with some annoyance: "Xiaoxi, go and change the pot of tea." ”

Qin Wen saw that the matter had been negotiated, so he said to the old man: "I just came to see it casually today, and I didn't prepare anything, so let's do it, if you still have some doubts, I will first tell you the method of refining the Xuan-level lower grade Gu Yuan Dan, and I will prepare the things in two days, and then come to you." ”

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, a way to improve the quality of the pill, these are the experiences that the alchemists have only gained after countless attempts, and some of them are not easy for the master to teach, if he can have ninety percent of the grasp of refining into a Xuan-level Guyuan Dan, then how many medicinal materials will be saved in the future, maybe he can also improve the realm of his alchemy again.

Qin Wen said casually at this time: "You tell me all the medicinal materials and dosages used, and then the refining method and the heat of the earth fire." ”

At this time, the old man carefully told Qin Wen the details of the alchemy, Qin Wen smiled slightly after hearing this, and had already thought of more than a dozen ways to improve the elixir in his heart, so he told the old man: "When you enter the furnace, add a kind of red mushroom that is more than ten years old, and the dosage is three points, and it's okay." ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said to the servant who came out with the tea: "Xiaoxi, you go to wash the furnace, add another copy of the medicinal materials of Gu Yuan Dan, and start alchemy tonight." ”

At this time, Qin Wen looked at the sky, it was almost noon, presumably Qin Lu was still waiting for him to go back, so he got up and left the medicine valley and returned to his courtyard.

Just as he entered the courtyard gate, a cyan figure crouched in the corner of the wall, looked at Qin Wen with puzzled eyes, and after he was sure, he quickly rushed towards the direction of the main courtyard of the Qin family.

After entering through the side door, he came directly to the courtyard of the second room, and a red-clothed maid stopped him and said, "Ah Quan, what are you doing here?"

Ah Quan said with a smile on his face: "Sister Xiaojuan, I have something urgent to find the second young master, and I ask my sister to report it." As he spoke, his greedy gaze kept scanning the maid's bumpy figure up and down.

The maid looked at him with some disgust and said, "You wait, I'll ask if the young master can see you." As he spoke, he walked into the main room.

Ah Quan stared at the back of the maid leaving, the saliva at the corner of his mouth flowed down unconsciously, and he said secretly in his heart: "The second young master said that as long as I can keep an eye on Qin Wen, I will reward a maid to be my wife in the future, and when the time comes, I will want Xiaojuan." ”

Xiao Juan walked out of the main room at this time and said, "The young master is practicing, let you wait for him outside the study." ”

Ah Quan waited outside the door of the study for about half an hour, and the second young master dressed in white came over, and after entering the study, the second young master asked, "What is the matter with you?"

Ah Quan bowed down and whispered, "Today, the little one found that Qin Wen came out of his yard. ”

"Came out?" The second young master said with some doubts: "Didn't you say that he had been vomiting blood a few days ago, and he would not be able to do it immediately?

Ah Quan said cautiously: "I don't know this little one, but the vomiting blood a few days ago was seen by the small one, and even the Erfu Mr. in their courtyard couldn't be invited, at that time it was a cough all day and all night, but these days the cough is less." ”

"Where has he been today?"

"That is, I walked around the manor for a while, by the way, he went to the medicine valley in the back mountain, and he had just come out of the medicine valley when I came. ”

"Medicine Valley?" The second young master's brows furrowed, and he said to himself, "Where is he going, what is he doing? I can't even get in, how did he get in?"

After pondering for a while, the second young master threw out a piece of broken silver and threw it to Ah Quandao: "You go back, continue to stare at him, don't let him find out, by the way, you go and check, what kind of medicine has he drunk these days?"

Ah Quan hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the silver on the ground, and promised while thanking him: "Yes, young master, I will definitely check it out for you." ”

After Ah Quan's figure left, the second young master sat on the chair in front of the desk for a while, and walked out of the study with some irritability, walking towards the backyard.

There is an exquisite garden in the backyard, and after turning the bamboo forest, the second young master came to the door of a remote courtyard, and after knocking lightly on the door, he heard someone inside asking, "Who is it?"

The second young master said softly, "It's me, Master Ruan." ”

The deep voice sounded again, "Come in." ”

The second young master pushed the door and walked in, and saw a middle-aged man who was a little dark and thin sitting on a recliner under the tree, holding a book in his hand, so he bowed down and said, "Master Ruan." ”

The middle-aged man put down the book in his hand and said indifferently, "Is there something wrong?"

The second young master said in a low voice: "It's Qin Wen, today Ah Quan saw him go out of the courtyard and go to the Medicine Valley." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "I know, you go back first." ”

The second young master said with some hesitation at this time: "Master Ruan, you see, there is a bottleneck in the set of exercises I cultivate, so can you let me see the rest first?"

The middle-aged man said impatiently at this time: "Go back, I have already told you, when I finish dealing with Qin Wen's affairs, I will naturally teach you all the exercises, you know the power of the exercises very well, it is still very easy to defeat your eldest brother, and I will also help you get rid of the spirit worm in your body, by the way, don't play any tricks, I know you went to the elder's room a few days ago." ”

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, the cold sweat on the second young master's back trickled down, and just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he heard the middle-aged man continue: "I don't want to hear you explain anything, the third elder in your family hasn't been able to detect the spirit worm, this is zuihou once, if I find out what other small actions you have, three hours a day ten thousand ants eat your heart, you shouldn't forget that kind of taste." ”

"Okay, do you have anything else? If not, go back, let that Ah Quan keep an eye on Qin Wen, and tell me immediately as long as he still has abnormal behavior. ”

The second young master hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, I have already arranged for Ah Quan, and asked him to inquire about what kind of medicine Qin Wen has bought these days, by the way, Master Ruan, a side disciple doesn't bother you so much, you just need to tell me what you need in his hands, and I will get it for you." ”

The middle-aged man scolded: "What do you know? Don't play with your little eyes, I have my own arrangements." After speaking, he walked straight into the room.

The second young master had no choice but to retreat and gently close the courtyard door casually.
