After drinking a mouthful of porridge from the bowl, Qin Wen put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Qin Lu, who was about to clean up the dishes: "Erfu, it's your nephew." ”

Qin Lu nodded with some confusion, the entire Qin family knew about this matter, why did the young master suddenly mention the matter of his family today.

"You arrange for him today, just say that I agree with him to go to Qin Heng, this month's monthly money is still from us, and it is not a family member who sells himself, clean up, and you can leave at any time." ”

Qin Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that he had reprimanded Erfu in this courtyard a few days ago, and he should have heard it by the young master, so he explained: "Young master, I really have too little discipline for Erfu, and I follow the third young master all day long, but I can guarantee that he is still very concerned about the young master's affairs, by the way, and the money he lost in gambling the day before yesterday, I have all cushioned it." ”

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "Qin Lu, you have been in my family for so many years, I will not forget your kindness, since Erfu wants to follow Qin Heng, everyone has their own ambitions, you might as well let him experience it if you control him like this, so it will be good for him in the future, so let's decide." ”

Qin Lu suddenly felt that Qin Wen had undergone a great change after he recovered from his illness, although he used to take care of some things, but he was all a teenager, but this time he suddenly matured a lot, and his words also had an undoubted attitude, he guessed in his heart that he might have figured out some things during his illness, and suddenly he seemed mature, so he nodded and said, "I can't help it, I'll listen to the young master." ”

After dealing with the matter of Erfu, Qin Wen suddenly had an urge to go out for a walk, after recuperation in the past few days, his body has returned to the level of ordinary people, and it is not good for his body to be bored in the yard, so he walked around the manor, and he was really familiar with the new shijie.

According to the consciousness left by Qin Wen, he walked out of the courtyard, followed the road in the manor, and walked up casually.

On the bluestone-paved road, I also met some Tsing Yi slaves who were in a hurry while walking, most of them had a surprised expression when they saw him, and some bowed down to him to ask Haode, and he nodded casually.

Suddenly, he faintly smelled the smell of elixir, thinking that he had not seen the level of alchemy in this place, and that he also needed to have an in-depth understanding of the properties of medicinal materials in the jihua he had arranged, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, so he followed the smell and walked forward.

The northwest corner of the manor is already adjacent to the hillside, and the bluestone road has been paved to the mouth of a small valley, where did the smell of the pill come from, Qin Wen just walked into the valley, and heard Qin Lu shouting behind him: "Young master, young master." ”

Qin Wen stopped, waited until Qin Lu ran in front of him and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Lu looked at the valley in front of him and said, "Young Master, it's windy outside, you still have to recuperate now, don't go back and forth, let's go back." ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly: "It's okay, I know my own body, I'll go there and take a look." ”

Qin Lu saw him pointing to the valley, and said in a low voice: "Young master, that medicine valley is a forbidden place for our clan, the patriarch has a ban, and it is not allowed to disturb at will, and the Danshi inside has a very strange temper, when you were sick, I went to beg him, but I couldn't enter the valley, and I was kicked out." ”

Qin Wen has also seen from those books these days that the alchemists in this place have their own independent system, which is different from other cultivators, whether it is an apprentice or a real Dan Dao Grandmaster, they will be collectively referred to as Dan Master in the mouths of others, which is also an honorific title for alchemists.

"You go back first, I'll just take a casual look, and I'll go back by myself when I'm tired of walking for a while." As he spoke, Qin Wen walked towards the valley mouth, and Qin Lu saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to stay far behind him.

Walked to the mouth of the valley, sure enough, I saw a wooden fence outside, looking through the gap, the space in the valley is not large, about dozens of acres of land, close to the slope of the back mountain to build a few stone houses, from the fence to the stone house between the cultivation of pieces of medicinal land, about a dozen acres, planted with all kinds of herbs, the rest of the place is abandoned.

Just as Qin Wen was approaching the fence, a young man in Tsing Yi who was planting medicinal herbs inside looked up and saw him, so he walked over with a slender medicinal seedling and said, "Your surname is Qin?"

Qin Wen nodded, and the little servant continued: "Then you go back first, my master is not a guest, if necessary, I will naturally find your patriarch." ”

Qin Wen saw that he was young, and his words carried a sense of arrogance, the patriarch of the Qin clan should be in the realm of Xuanshi now, and a little servant actually had an equal meaning in his tone, judging from his tone, the status of this alchemist is really not low.

Qin Wen didn't think it was a pestle, so he smiled slightly and said, "I also have some research on medicinal herbs, just take a look here, and it won't bother you." ”

"Study herbs. The little servant not only pursed his lips, but then said with a mocking meaning: "A child of the Qin family of your age has studied medicinal herbs nine times out of ten, and Zuihou still eats my master's elixir. ”

Qin Wen didn't quarrel with him, just stood quietly outside the fence and watched, the little servant saw that he was silent, and he didn't make any moves, so he had to let him go, and he turned back to a place a foot away to continue planting the medicinal seedlings in his hand.

At this time, the smell of the pill became stronger and stronger, and Qin Wen knew that this was a sign that the pill was about to be baked, so he heard an old man's loud voice from inside the stone house: "Xiaoxi, who are you talking to, drive him away, so as not to disturb Lao Tzu out of the pill." ”

Qin Wen originally wanted to enter the Medicine Valley to have a look, but he was turned away, it seemed that if he didn't come up with something, he really couldn't enter this Medicine Valley, so he said to the little servant who got up: "A furnace of innate stage elixir is also worthy of being so precious." ”

Before the words fell, a yellow figure flashed out of the stone house, fell to the side of the little servant and said: "Who is farting, I have shared eight kinds of elixirs of more than five hundred years in this furnace of Guyuan Pill, and it took nine days, and the lowest is also a low-grade pill of the Xuan level." While speaking, he saw Qin Wen outside the fence, so he said angrily: "You are a kid of the Qin family, don't make noise here, disturb Lao Tzu's alchemy, I will let your patriarch clean you up." ”

Qin Wen knew that the Xuan-level inferior grade he was talking about was the pill used in the foundation building period that he had refined in the previous life, and his arrogance also came up, so he said coldly: "The elixir in the Dan furnace is still dry, you are caused by the deviation in the fire control when you melt the Dan, if you can make up for it at that time, it is now time to come out of the pill, it must be a furnace of innate pills." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "How do you kid know?"

Then Qin Wen felt that his body was light, and his eyes were full of flowers, and he only heard the old man in his ear say: "Then you come in with the old man and see who is right?"

When he stood firm, he found that he was already standing in a stone house, the space of the stone house was very large, the top of the arc should be about three feet from the ground, and the style should be a stone room connected to the hillside behind, and neat bottles and cans were placed in the corner.

The stone room was hot, the strong smell of pills filled the whole room, and in the middle of the stone room was a six-foot yellow Dan furnace, and a faint black luster under the three feet of the Ding stood to bake the Dan furnace.

The old man put Qin Wen on the periphery of the room and said, "You kid hasn't practiced yet, stand here, lest the earth fire burn you, and watch the old man come out of the pill." ”

Qin Wen knew that he was now an ordinary person's physique, and the heat of the black earth fire had already baked his sweat all over his body, so he stood quietly, his eyes watching the old man's movements.

The old man strode into the Dan furnace, first sniffed the smell of medicine escaping from the furnace, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully controlling the ground fire below with spiritual power, the black flame gradually decreased, about half a pillar of incense time, the old man's face became more and more solemn, the flame became smaller and smaller, and gradually dimmed into a substantial flame.

With the sound of "plopping", the flame was gradually extinguished, and a faint medicinal fragrance diluted the rich medicinal smell in the room just now, and the old man's face also showed a smile, but it would take a while to get out of the Dan, so he sat cross-legged by the Dan furnace and breathed.

The young man in Tsing Yi also walked into the stone room with the medicine hoe in his hand, sniffed the smell of the medicinal incense, looked at Qin Wen as if demonstratively, with a smug look on his face, and then turned around and went out.

When he came in again, he had already washed his hands and face, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his bulging cheeks were still a little childish, and he was holding a delicate jade plate in his hand, which should be ready to cool the elixir.

At this time, the lid of the Dan furnace shook slightly from side to side, and Qin Wen knew that this was caused by the spiritual energy of the pill in the furnace, which meant that the Dan could be released now.

Sure enough, the old man slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed at it, the lid of the furnace suddenly opened, and a few pale yellow lights dimmed after shooting, and the little servant hurriedly walked to the front of the Dan furnace with the jade plate, and with a wave of the sleeves of the old man's robe, several pills had flown out of the Dan furnace and fell into the jade plate.

After the pill cooled down a little, the old man first carefully looked at the slightly yellowed pill, with a hesitant expression on his face, and the little servant also looked at the master nervously, and turned around to look at Qin Wen from time to time.

Finally, the old man pinched a pill with his hand, carefully scraped off a bit of powder on the surface, put it in his mouth and slowly tasted it, and the doubts in his eyes became heavier and heavier.

Qin Wen said lightly at this time: "Don't taste it anymore, this furnace is the elixir of the innate realm." ”

The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and with a wave of his yellow robe, he came to Qin Wen's face, pressed his shoulder and said, "How can you know that this is a furnace of Gu Yuan Dan of the Innate Realm, and you can still smell the deviation of the fire, how can you make up for it?"

He asked again what Qin Wen said on the fence in one breath, Qin Wen shook his head and said, "This is your hospitality?"
