A few people sat down by the barrel, and after a while, Steward Wu brought wine and food, and a few people were not polite, whether they were dead or alive, they had a full meal first.

In fact, the happiest person is the steward Wu, as long as the nursery supervisor dies, the position of the nursery supervisor belongs to him, so the feeling of sending food to them is like sending a severed head meal to the enemy, and he almost didn't hum a little song.

The weather has been good these days, the scorching sun is shining, and there are no clouds, Elder Xi will come over several times a day to see the changes in Ma Lan, only to see that the water in the bucket slowly became turbid and turned cyan, so turbid that Ma Lan in the bucket could not even be seen.

On the fourth day, when Elder Xi came, he picked up a horse blue and looked at it, most of the leaves had fallen off, and it was estimated that in two days, the leaves would fall off.

On the sixth day, the sun had just risen, and Elder Xi came again, this time his two apprentices, as well as the drug supervisor Wu. The drug supervisor has also been very busy in the past two days, and it is estimated that his nephew will definitely die, so he has already contacted the grave guard, and the cemetery has been arranged for his nephew.

However, when Elder Xi saw Jiang Xiaobai this time, he felt that the face of this nursery supervisor was very wrong, and he felt that his expression was very fake, as if he was wearing a mask.

In fact, it's no wonder, after all, Jiang Xiaobai wears a thick layer of powder makeup on his face, such a big sun, he has been basking for five or six days in a row, because there are always masters watching on the side, he doesn't dare to release the fat three to maintain it, but this layer of makeup is hard, and he feels that his face hurts, and he feels that this layer of makeup will peel off at any time, so that he doesn't dare to laugh.

But now when he saw Elder Xi staring at him and seeing that his scalp was numb, he laughed a little, but this smile was not tight, and there was a crack on his face.

Xi Yao pointed at him and said, "Master, look, his face is cracked!"

The drug supervisor also felt strange, in fact, he had long been a little suspicious, after all, his nephew was about to hit the road, so he often came to see him and talked to him in the past few days, if it was his nephew's usual personality, he would have been so frightened that he cried and called his mother, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, but to his surprise, his nephew seemed to have changed in the past few days, very calm, and surprisingly calm, which made him mumble in his heart, but he didn't expect that someone would pretend to be his nephew.

At this time, seeing a crack on his face, it suddenly became clear in his heart that his nephew was being pretended, so he pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and shouted, "Who are you?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at him and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh at this time, for fear that he would laugh his face off, so he said, "I'm a nephew!"

The drug superintendent hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense!"

His words have two meanings, the first meaning is that he does not admit that Yushang is his nephew, otherwise he is suspected of cronyism, and the second meaning is that you are not Yushang. In desperation, he couldn't express it in detail.

Elder Xi's face changed at this time, he stretched out his hand and brushed it, Jiang Xiaobai only felt a strong air flow rushing towards his face, he didn't dare to resist, it was useless to resist, after the air flow, his face was peeled off a layer of skin, revealing his original face. Although I was exposed to the scorching sun for a few days, after all, there was a mask for sunscreen, so the exposed face was white and tender.

Xi Yao exclaimed: "So handsome! Why are you pretending to be ugly?"

Elder Xi glared at her and said, "Be careful!"

Xi Yao stuck out his tongue.

At this time, the drug supervisor exclaimed: "You are the one who came up from the mortal realm!"

Elder Xi was also taken aback, and said, "From the mortal realm?"

The drug supervisor nodded and said, "Yes, yes, several of them are from the mortal realm!"

Elder Xi said: "Since I set up the immortal array, I haven't heard of anyone coming up from the mortal realm for 100,000 years, it's not easy!"

The drug supervisor pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and said angrily: "Where did the rain go?"

Jiang Xiaobai said lightly: "I killed you!"

The drug supervisor gritted his teeth and said: "You a slave dares to commit a rebellion, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!"

Elder Xi raised his hand and motioned for him not to say any more, so that the drug supervisor would not dare to squeak.

Elder Xi looked at Jiang Xiaobai again and said, "The rain is the nurseryman?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes!"

Elder Xi said, "Why did you kill him?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the drug supervisor and said: "Yushang is his nephew, he has no ability, relying on his protection, he does not want to make progress, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles all day long, this point, everyone in Xipu can testify, it is precisely because of the existence of such moths, so our indigo powder is never as good as others." I once suggested to him that he improve the method of making the indigo powder, but he didn't listen to my persuasion at all, and beat and scolded me, so I killed him in a fit of anger and replaced him in order to concoct a better indigo powder!"

Of course, the drug superintendent knew that he was talking about it, and before that, he had only been here for three days, so how could he have the opportunity to make suggestions for improvement with Yushang? The most taboo thing for him was that he was shaking the matter of his nephew on the rain desperately, and at the same time splashing dirty water on it. hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense!" If it weren't for Elder Xi being questioning, he would have killed him.

Elder Xi's eyes were cold, and he turned his head to look at the drug supervisor and said, "Don't speak, otherwise you will be the one who dies first!"

Although the drug supervisor still had something to say, he didn't dare to say it anymore, and his face turned red when he held it in his stomach.

Steward Wu originally wanted to testify to the drug administration, but after hearing this, where did he dare to speak, it is estimated that he would not even have a chance to warn if he spoke.

Elder Xi looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "The method you used to concoct Qingdai powder was brought from the mortal world?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes!"

Elder Xi said, "You use the methods of the mortal world to concoct the medicine of the immortal world, do you think it is useful?"

Jiang Xiaobai repeated what he said to Bu Xiu that night: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, the Tao is the law of nature, all things in heaven and earth, whether it is a god or a mortal, it is impossible to override the laws of nature, although the places are different, but I believe that the rules of the operation of all things are the same." ”

Elder Xi nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, anyway, it's starting to be concocted now, then I'll wait and see!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "But Elder, I have a request!"

Elder Xi said, "Do you want me to take you away?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "I hope that the elder will be able to fulfill it by then!"

Elder Xi said: "Don't worry, as long as there is no problem with the indigo powder you concocted, I will not only take you away, but also take you as an apprentice, but you should also know that if the quality of the concocted indigo powder is not up to par, what will be the consequences?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "This elder can rest assured, if the quality of the concocted indigo powder is not up to par, there is no need for the elder to do it, I will apologize!"

Elder Xi nodded and said, "Little friend, to be honest, I like you a lot. ”

Xi Yao also said: "I like it too!"

Elder Xi turned his head and glared at her.

Xi Yao smiled and said, "What I said likes is not that like, I like his spirit, and the way he speaks, he is neither humble nor arrogant, he hits the nail on the head, much better than those rigid people in Yaoxian Pavilion." ”

Elder Xi ignored her, but looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Then let's start!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and when he saw that the slaves were already in place, he said loudly: "Fish out all the Ma Lan branches and leaves in the bucket!"

The slaves hurriedly stepped forward and fished out all the blue branches and leaves in the bucket with their hands, leaving only the turbid blue water in the bucket.

Jiang Xiaobai took out the lime he found a few days ago, and asked the slaves to take the bamboo poles and wait by the barrel, and then he poured all the lime in the altar into the wooden barrel, and the slaves with the bamboo poles did not dare to slack off, and began to stir the water in the bucket desperately.

Under the stirring, the lime reacted with the water in the bucket, and the water surface began to foam, and the foam became thicker and thicker, and after a while, the wooden bucket appeared, like the foam spit out by a crab, and the color of the water under the foam also changed, and it turned a little purple.

Elder Xi was curious, and he also poked his head over and said, "How did this water turn purple?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Purple is right." ”

Elder Xi said: "But people's indigo powder is all cyan, and there is no such thing as purple. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "When it is dried, it is cyan." ”

Elder Xi nodded and said, "That's good!"

Jiang Xiaobai saw that the foam was about to overflow the barrel, so he hurriedly asked the slave to bring a clean wooden barrel, scooped out the foam, and after a while, it was full of foam.

Elder Xi was stunned: "Why are you pretending to be these bubbles?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "These foams are dried, they are the best indigo powder!"

Elder Xi exclaimed, "There is still such a thing?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

After a while, several barrels were loaded, lined up in a row, and exposed to the scorching sun, Jiang Xiaobai put up his hand, and the stirring slaves stopped, after all, they only need to produce a little sample today.

The foam in the barrel looked like it was full of a large vat, but when it saw the sunlight, it immediately dissipated, and in a moment it became a puddle of water at the bottom of the barrel.

Jiang Xiaobai's hearts hung up again, pounding.

To be honest, Elder Xi was also a little nervous, seeing such a novel concoction method, he also felt as if he was very hopeful, and he also hoped to concoct high-grade indigo powder, after all, he had waited for a few days, not to wait to kill someone.

After all, there were not many water stains in the barrel, only a thin layer, and under the scorching sun, it quickly dried up, and the slave tilted the barrel again so that it was facing the sun, and after a while, a layer of cyan powder condensed from the bottom of the barrel.

Elder Xi said to Xi Yao again, "You go and take a look!"

Xi Yao nodded, walked to the barrel and squatted down, reached out and scraped a pinch of powder at the bottom of the barrel, then pinched it and put it under his nose and smelled it, and then gave it to his mouth and savored it.

Jiang Xiaobai and the others swallowed their saliva when they saw it, as if they had returned to six days ago, it was exactly the same scene, for fear that if this girl said what she said a few days ago, then they would really die.

Xi Yao tasted it for a long time, and finally spit out the crumbs in his mouth, looked at Elder Xi and said, "Master, it seems to be the same, nothing has changed!"

Elder Xi's face changed and said, "What?"
