The sun was like a fire, basking on the surface of the river, and even the flowing river water was steaming. It was noon, He Ergou wore a hat and carried a bamboo basket on his back, sitting by the river behind the mountain.

"Why is this so hot...... He Ergou sighed, stabilized the heavy bamboo basket on his back, stood up and continued to walk towards Xiaoyao Valley.

"Master, I'm back!"

With a sound of "Tong", He Ergou unloaded the bamboo basket and put it on the ground.

Xian Yunzi was taking care of a few unknown flowers in front of the house, and when he saw He Ergou coming back, he walked to the side room, pushed open the door, and pointed inside: "Ergou, move in." ”

This side room is the largest room in Runaway Valley, and it is larger than everyone's room. The room was very empty, there were no tables, chairs, no bedboards, all four rooms were empty, except for a bronze stove in the middle.

This is the alchemy room of Xiaoyao Valley, and every Xiaoyao disciple will enter here to learn alchemy.

He Ergou panted and carried a large box full of herbs into the house.

It has been more than half a month since He Ergou and Ling'er Xiangyang were in distress, and He Ergou's injuries have basically recovered.

These days, according to the master's intentions, He Ergou went up the mountain every day to collect medicines, and under the guidance of the master, he learned a large number of herbs: ginseng, angelica, yellow flower, yellow essence, cinnamon, cocoon, Yanhusuo...... He Ergou collected a large basket full of each herb listed by the master.

He Ergou himself wondered: "Isn't there a balance of data in this game? I can't finish picking herbs on a hill......

After collecting the herbs, Xian Yunzi took He Ergou to the alchemy furnace.

"First of all, alchemy is divided into internal refining and external refining, external refining refers to not mixing internal strength, only relying on grasping the fire, refining the pill with fire, so that the pill can only reach three grades at most. Internal refining refers to the use of internal strength to promote the concentration of herbal essences, supplemented by perfect heat, so that the elixir refined is divided into two products and one product. The elixir refined within those whose strength is above the fifth order is the second-rank pill, and the elixir refined within the seventh-order or above is the first-pinned pill. ”

Xian Yunzi paused and continued: "After a person with a matching strength takes the Sanpindan, he can improve his original strength, and his martial arts will be slightly improved. Similarly, after taking Erpindan, people who meet the conditions of Erpindan will have outstanding effects and their martial arts cultivation will reach a higher level. And those with seventh-order strength or above can even directly increase their strength by one level after taking Yipindan. However, internal refining of this pindan will be extremely serious injury to the body, consume amazing physical strength, and eventually lead to a shortened lifespan, and after taking a pindan, because the muscles and veins will be greatly improved in a short period of time, the burden on the body will exceed the limit, so few people are willing to refine and take a pindan. ”

"Wait," He Ergou interrupted Xian Yunzi, "Master, what do you mean by the strength of the few orders you just mentioned?"

"Class is an important division of strength for my Central Plains knights, and the class system is based on the first order and the ninth order. At the annual martial arts rookie competition, the martial arts newcomers who come to participate in the competition will be commented on by the examiner during the competition, and the strength of the person will be announced. ”

"It's a game world," He Ergou thought to himself, "Sure enough, there is still a system of grading." I guess there will be a world ranking in the future. ”

"Now, Ergou, listen to my instructions and put in the herbs. ”

"I'm ready, master. ”

"Pu Huang!"

"Yes!", He Ergou quickly found Pu Huang from the bamboo basket that formed a large circle on the ground.

"Liu Jinu grass!"

"Yes!"

"Crane grass!"

......

After being busy, with the help of the master, He Ergou refined a three-grade Yang Vein Pill.

This Dan is exquisitely rounded, with the same fiery red, and there are patterns with the color of Pu Huang on it. He Ergou looked at this small pill and thought: "Sure enough, a game is still a game, add a few herbs to the stove, control the heat, you can refine such a pill, if only it was so convenient...... Anyway, I can't eat it......"

"Forget it, refine more, take it down the mountain and sell it!"

With this mentality, He Ergou learned to refine the other three pills. However, when each elixir was refined for the first time, there was Xian Yunzi on the side to help control the heat.

After Xian Yunzi left, He Ergou was busy until nightfall, almost used up all the herbs, and did not refine a decent elixir, either half-baked or charred......

However, the entire Runaway Valley was smoky, as ethereal as a fairyland.

He Ergou extinguished the fire fiercely, clapped his hands angrily, and planned to end it today.

"There are only four pills each...... "He Ergou muttered in frustration.

"Hey, I went to the back mountain to practice kung fu for a few hours, why did the valley become like this?"

He Ergou froze in place, the voice was ...... Ling'er!

He Ergou greeted with an embarrassed smile: "Ling, Ling'er, are you back?"

"Huh?" Ling'er crossed her waist angrily and looked at He Ergou with a pout.

If this is put in the eyes of others, they must think that this girl is very cute, but He Ergou feels that there is a hungry tigress standing in front of him......

Ling'er opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, just stood there motionless. He Ergou didn't know what to say, the two looked at each other like this, and there was silence.

He Ergou was speechless in fear, for fear that this little junior sister would not be able to restrain herself, so she ran over and punched herself, and her small body couldn't stand it......

After a long time, He Ergou couldn't bear such silence, and spoke first: "Senior sister......

Before He Ergou's word "sister" came out, Ling'er exerted force under her feet, flashed behind He Ergou in an instant, hugged He Ergou into her arms, held He Ergou's mouth tightly, and whispered: "Quiet." ”

He Ergou was startled, and then obediently held his breath.

It was another long silence, He Ergou couldn't hold his breath, and gasped, Ling'er let go, stood up and ran out of the alchemy room, leaving only one sentence before leaving: "Houshan Waterfall!"

He Ergou got up, I don't know why, I just felt dizzy with my breath. But looking at Ling'er leaving in a hurry, there must be some emergency.

He Ergou hurriedly staggered out and looked in the direction of the backmountain waterfall......
