Volume 1 Mystery Chapter 8 Medicine Garden
Fang Tao was still very enthusiastic about this new student, and kept introducing the teaching building and various school rules and benefits to Haolin along the way, helping Haolin quickly integrate into the atmosphere of the college.
The medicine garden is at the back of the entire academy, leaning against the city wall, the grass and trees near the medicine garden grow particularly vigorously, and there is a shallow small river next to it, which is used to water the medicine garden, Haolin found that in the dense woods not far from the medicine garden, there was a spire-like building looming, so he asked: "Senior, what is that spire-like building for?" ”
"Oh, that's the library tower, which treasures some ancient books from various disciplines, and is open to some outstanding students every year to choose and study. Fang Tao looked at the library tower longingly and said.
Haolin also wanted to see the books in the academy: "Then how can you be considered an excellent student?"
Fang Tao patiently explained: "Every year, the college will hold some competitions, each subject has it, and the college will conduct a comprehensive score to select outstanding students. ”
Haolin secretly made up his mind that he must study hard and enter the library tower in the future to take a look: "Senior Brother Fang, how many students do we have in the Pill Medicine Study?"
"Uh, this... You'll find out when you look back. Fang Tao looked at him again and again, patted Haolin's shoulder and said, "Senior Brother Haolin, if you work hard, you will have a chance." It's your dormitory in front, and Uncle Sun is inside, so go say hello." ”
Entering the medicine garden, Haolin found that it was very large, full of all kinds of herbs, and there was a white-haired old man who was chasing a bird with a broom: "You ugly monster, come and eat it again, I will slap you to death!"
When the bird saw Haolin coming in, it flew straight over and landed on Haolin's shoulder, and Haolin saw that it was Xiaofu, so he gently patted Xiaofu's head: "As soon as you enter the city, you are gone, it turns out that you came here." ”
"Beep-beep..."
Seeing this, the white-haired old man stared at Haolin and said, "Boy, who are you, this bird seems to have been raised by you?"
Seeing this, Haolin saluted respectfully and said, "You are Teacher Sun, it was the admissions office that always assigned me to study with you." ”
Hearing this, Sun Linshan looked at Haolin and muttered: "This old Mo, just make a stupid student to fool me, next time you give him alchemy, you must pit him." ”
"Do you know herbs?" asked Sun Linshan casually, pointing to an herb.
"This is Charlotte grass, it likes to be dry, it can not be directly touched by hand, it will wither when it comes into contact with people, and it is necessary to wear gloves to care for picking, and keep each grass will not exceed three fruits, otherwise the medicinal effect is very weak, and the fruit is used as a medicine to drive away cold and dehumidify.
Uncle Sun pointed to another purple grass: "What about this?"
Haolin looked at it carefully, and said confidently: "Alfalfa, like the sun, like moisture, easy to provoke insect pests, the whole plant into medicine, mild, itself has no special effect, mainly used to reconcile other medicinal powers, the more leaves are more precious, common within three leaves, four leaves are very few, non-human cultivation, five leaves are born of heaven and earth, there is no market." ”
After listening to this, Uncle Sun's eyes began to glow, and he successively pointed out several herbs for Haolin to identify, Haolin answered like fluent, Uncle Sun nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, Lao Mo is quite reliable this time, and he actually found me such a good helper." You go to the room over there and put down the things first, and then you can help me here, except for the medicine garden, you don't mess with the things in other places. If Sun Linshan knew that Lao Mo, who was recruiting, just casually found a student to deal with him, I don't know how he would feel.
Just when Haolin was talking to Uncle Sun, Xiaofu secretly ran into the distance and began to steal herbs, Uncle Sun saw this, and roared again, but Xiaofu seemed to be sure that Uncle Sun would not hurt it, so he changed places and continued to eat.
Uncle Sun said to Haolin helplessly: "Boy, take care of your ugly bird in the future, you can eat the medicine in the medicine garden, but you are not allowed to eat it indiscriminately, who makes the old man like you." Haolin nodded again and again, and Xiaofu flew back to Haolin's shoulder unwillingly under Haolin's angry reprimand.
Haolin took care of the herbs for three days, and confirmed that Haolin could take care of the medicine garden, so Sun Linshan went back to his room, and he didn't come out for many days, as if he didn't need to eat. And Haolin is also comfortable, taking care of the herbs every day, taking time to practice the Heart Liuhe Fist, and continuing to practice the Mixed Yuan Jue at night, and the life is also comfortable.
"Hahaha" There was a burst of laughter in Sun Linshan's room, and Haolin looked at it: "This old man hasn't eaten or drunk for a few days, isn't he crazy, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Take good care of the medicine garden, I'll go out for a few days. Sun Linshan laughed all the way away.
"This old man can't be alchemy, right?" Haolin said curiously: "I'll sneak into his room for a while, hehe." ”
After taking care of the herbs, Haolin walked around in the medicine garden, when Sun Linshan was there, except for his own room, he didn't dare to run around, and now that Sun Linshan is gone, Haolin just took the opportunity to look around.
Pharmacy, warehouse, three dormitories, nothing to see, hesitated, and pushed Sun Linshan's room open.
The room is very simple, a table, a row of bookshelves, a row of shelves with all kinds of bottles and cans, a bed, the most conspicuous is a half-person high three-legged Ding furnace in the middle of the room, there are four hemispherical shapes under the Ding furnace are bubbling with subtle flames, lift the lid of the furnace, a stream of medicinal fragrance comes to the nose.
"Is this alchemy?" Hao Lin looked at the Ding Furnace curiously, "The alchemy furnace recorded in the "Danshu" doesn't seem to be like this. ”
Flipping through the books on the shelves, herbal medicine and alchemy books abound, Haolin casually took a copy of "Introduction to Alchemy" and read it: "How are the alchemy methods recorded here different from the methods in "Danshu"?" But this did not prevent Haolin from reading it hungrily.
"Haha, Old Man Mei, you still don't believe it, I have to convince you this time. Sun Linshan's laughter came from afar.
Haolin hurriedly put away the book, closed the door of Sun Linshan's room, and got busy in the medicine garden.
"Yo, Old Man Sun, have you accepted disciples?" followed Sun Linshan in, a tall and thin old man who looked like a fairy wind and bones.
Sun Linshan waved his hand and said, "Take care of the medicine garden, go, I'll refine another furnace for you." The two old men couldn't wait to get into Sun Linshan's room.
"Who takes care of the medicine garden?" Haolin was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Isn't this place to learn pills?" I said why haven't I seen my senior brother for so many days, I spent 100 taels of silver to come in and be a man?"
"Bang bang bang" Haolin couldn't care so much, and directly knocked on Sun Linshan's door: "Teacher Sun, I came to learn the pill, why didn't you give me a lesson, and I didn't see my senior brother?"
Sun Linshan scratched his head embarrassedly: "That Haolin, you have to learn the pill, and I will teach you when I'm done, now you go out first, I have something to do with Old Man Mei." ”
"Teacher Sun, I paid the money to come in to study, not to do chores. Haolin insisted.
Sun Linshan patted his head: "Haolin, there is a Dan furnace in the warehouse over there, you go and take it out to clean it up yourself, go back and let Old Man Mei start a fire for you, you can use the medicine in the medicine garden as you like, and you can read the books in my room as you like, so it's okay, right?"
"Okay. Haolin thought about it, as long as Sun Linshan really taught him alchemy, it didn't matter if he did some chores, so he went to the warehouse and turned out a dusty Dan furnace, which was half smaller than the one Sun Linshan used, but Haolin still happily moved back to his room, cleaned it carefully, and stared and smirked for a long time like seeing a baby.
In the next few days, Haolin spent the torment, Sun Linshan and the old man entered the room, and never came out, Haolin walked to the door several times, wanting to knock on the door to find Sun Linshan, but he held back, for fear of disturbing Sun Linshan's alchemy.
"How about it, Old Man Mei, I didn't lie to you, did I?" A loud laugh came from Sun Linshan's room: "Hahaha"
"Old boy, you've finally come out. ”
"Squeak......" Sun Linshan's door opened, and Haolin hurriedly walked over: "Teacher Sun, why are you so happy?"
Sun Linshan was indeed in a good mood: "Boy, do you know, the old man has finally become a two-star Dan Master, Old Man Mei, you want to stay in my drunken place today!"
"Teacher Sun, what are the grades of Danshi?"
"The old man is in a good mood today, so I'll tell you about this Danshu. Sun Linshan moved a chair and talked endlessly.
The premise of cultivating Danshu is to have a good understanding of the habits of various herbs, otherwise it will lead to the loss of medicinal effect during alchemy, and finally form a waste pill. Danshu has extremely high requirements for the mastery and control of fire, and the firepower of each Dan furnace is different, so it is necessary to be familiar with it for a long time in order to accurately grasp the effect of fire on the pill. Alchemy is mainly divided into furnaces, pure medicine, melting medicine, fusion, into Dan, and receiving Dan, according to the difficulty of refining, the pill is divided into one star to four stars, in each level, according to the quality of the pill, it is divided into three kinds of quality, heaven, earth and man, correspondingly, the Dan master is also divided into one star to four stars, Sun Linshan has just broken through the two-star Dan division recently, there are not many Dan masters on the whole continent, and there are only a handful of two-star Dan masters, and the three-star Dan masters are rare, and the four-star Dan masters have not heard of it so far. To become a Dan Master, not only requires extraordinary talent, but also a tenacious mind, many people throughout their lives, can not enter the ranks of a one-star Dan Master, so the Dan Master is very popular, many large families in order to retain a Dan Master to worship, have opened up conditions that make people blush.
In the evening, Haolin followed Sun Linshan and Old Man Mei to have a good meal, looking at the two old men who were drunk and staggering, Haolin was also happy in his heart, and from the conversation between the two old men, he also gained a lot of knowledge.
"Teacher Sun, do you know how to cultivate?" Hao Lin asked as he looked at the drunken Sun Linshan.
"Boy, do you still know about cultivation?"
"I heard people say in the tavern, it is said that if you cultivate to the extreme, you can go to the sky and enter the sea?" Haolin said tentatively.
"Hahaha......" Sun Linshan and Old Man Mei laughed together.
"Forget it, kid, it's good if you can learn the pill well, cultivation, don't talk about it, hey......" Sun Linshan shook his head and sighed.
"Little guy, if you can enter the ranks of one-star Dan masters within two years, I will take you to cultivate. Old man Mei patted Haolin on the shoulder and said with a sly smile.
Haolin looked at Old Man Mei suspiciously, and still didn't know his identity.
"Don't look at it, this is the Mei Xing Feimei Hall Master of the Dan Hall of Yinghai Academy, he is a three-star Dan Master. Sun Linshan explained: "If he speaks, he will ensure that you can enter Yinghai Academy, as for cultivation, it depends on your talent." ”
Hao Lin hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Master Mei!"
Sun Linshan sighed: "Old man Mei, do you think I still have any hope of breaking through? Since I can remember, I have been diligent all my life, and I have only reached the second-star Dan Master in the blink of an eye." ”
Mei Xingfei patted his old friend's shoulder, with a solemn expression: "If I can break through the four-star Dan Master, I will help you solve it." ”
"Then I will burn incense and worship God every day, and bless you with an early breakthrough. ”
Looking at the two silent old men, Haolin consciously put away the dishes and chopsticks.
