Chapter 47: The owner of Danxia Pavilion
"Steward!"
When He Miaomiao saw the notice, her eyes lit up. Immediately go up and talk to him. "What are the requirements of the alchemy apprentice?"
The white-haired old man saw that they were guests who had come yesterday, and he did not dislike the cultivation of the two, and welcomed them in kindly.
"Two little Taoist friends, but do you want to learn alchemy?" As soon as he sat down at the low table, the old man went straight to the point, which was much more refreshing than yesterday.
"It's I who want to learn. He Miaomiao began to want to learn alchemy since she got the strange fire, and she was worried that no one could teach her, so she met an apprentice, so her tone became brisk.
The old man nodded and said, "That little Taoist friend has the spirit root of the two attributes of fire and wood?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Hehe... Then there's nothing to ask for. There isn't much time here for apprenticeship, and the little friar who came last time left a few days ago, and you're just on top of it if you come. ”
He Miaomiao didn't expect it to be so simple, she always felt that something was wrong...
The old man saw her hesitation, and said with a smile:
"Little Daoist, being an apprentice is not directly teaching you the way of alchemy. Rather, it teaches you to discern and purify spiritual plants. If there is a shortage in the store, you have to go to the Valley of Thousand Medicines to collect it. There are also some chores that will be left to you to do. Of course, I will still be paid a hundred spirit stones every month. ”
He Miaomiao was a little hesitant when she heard this.
It's not that she thinks it's troublesome to do things, these things are also what she wants to learn, but with so many things, she is afraid that she will not have time to go out to practice in the future.
He Zhengchu had to recuperate from his injuries, and He Quanling could only act alone, so that the three of them were scattered, and it was very dangerous in the chaotic Fulong City.
"May I ask the steward, how many hours a day does it take to be an apprentice?"
"You don't have to worry about that. You only need to come in the morning and evening every day, and if you go out to practice, you will deduct the spirit stones. Of course, you can also practice while helping the store to collect medicines, so that you can save time off. ”
He Miaomiao said in her heart, if it was only sooner or later, anyway, she didn't have the heart to cultivate recently, so it was better to put it on the spirit plant. "Then the steward sees when I will come?"
"Early tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the backyard to meet the owner. My surname is Chen, my name, what do you call Xiao Daoyou?"
He Miaomiao reported her name and exchanged words with Chen Yi before leaving Danxia Pavilion and returning to the cave.
He Zhengchu was still meditating, they didn't bring the formation token, and it was not easy to interrupt him to recuperate, so they waited at the door.
"Miao Miao, if you start as an apprentice tomorrow, I will practice the formation in the cave. ”
"Okay! After a few days, those high-ranking monks who set up stalls are gone, let's take another day to sell spirit grass. ”
"You also remember to inquire about the elixir of restoring essence and blood. ”
He Miaomiao was a little surprised when she heard this, He Quanling has been a little indifferent in recent years, and sometimes even she can't touch her emotions, but she didn't expect him to take He Zhengchu to heart.
But when she thought about it, she didn't find it strange. He Zhengchu was the first "good person" among the monks they met, and she herself was actually quite concerned about the pill.
"I know, don't worry. However, in Danxia Pavilion, I can't ask directly, if people know that Brother Zhengchu is injured, it is easy to attract ill-intentioned monks. ”
"Be careful yourself, don't be impatient, study hard. He Quanling gave a few rare words, and his face also had a bit of popularity, no longer as rigid as a puppet.
As he was talking, the formation of the cave behind him suddenly opened, and He Zhengchu walked out of it, looking much better.
"I just heard you say that you want to be an alchemy apprentice?"
He Miaomiao nodded, "I've been idle for the past two months anyway, not to mention that Steward Chen said that I only have to help in the morning and evening, and I don't have to stay there during the day." ”
"That's fine. "He Zhengchu is naturally supportive, if you have a different fire and don't learn the alchemy refiner, that is a tyrannical thing, "You be careful, don't touch the strange fire outside, so as not to be discovered." ”
Since the strange fire drilled into He Miaomiao's dantian, there has been no movement.
Whether it was guided by spiritual power or tempted by divine sense, the bean-like flame was motionless, and she simply left it behind.
She also asked He Zhengchu to use the divine sense of the foundation building period to probe into her dantian to see if she could be spied on, but she found that she couldn't sense the existence of strange fire, and she was also relieved.
However, for alchemists and refiners, the alien fire is simply a treasure, and once it is discovered, it will be painstakingly snatched. In addition, there are many methods of monks, and it is inevitable that there are some secret techniques, and it is normal for He Zhengchu to be worried.
After some instructions, He Miaomiao entered the inner room to rest, leaving He Zhengchu to teach He Quanling to practice the formation outside.
......
On the second day, He Miaomiao came to Danxia Pavilion at the appointed hour, the store had just opened, Chen Yi nodded at her, and said, "Come in, our owner is already waiting in the back." ”
He Miaomiao saluted him, and then followed behind, through the lobby and a small door, to the backyard where a large cloud butterfly spirit orchid was planted.
A female cultivator dressed in a white gauze robe appeared in front of He Miaomiao's eyes, her breath was restrained and profound, almost the same as Wu Tianlin she had seen, and she knew that the owner here was originally a monk in the Yudan period.
"The junior He Miaomiao, I have seen the senior. ”
A soft force gently lifted her up, she didn't dare to look up, only heard the other party's pleasant and warm voice coming:
"No need to be polite, my surname is Nian, and I am the owner of this Danxia Pavilion, and I am also the alchemist here. ”
"Boss, then I'll go out first. Seeing that she agreed, Steward Chen saluted, said hello to He Miaomiao, and left the backyard by himself.
"Today, I will teach you how to refine the medicinal liquid, and then you will practice with some spirit grass that is not in good condition in the evening. These are very simple, and if you are serious, you can master them in three days. ”
He Miaomiao listened seriously, and when she saw that her hand began to move, she didn't dare to be distracted at all.
The morning passed quickly, and He Miaomiao also knew what to do every day.
"But you can see everything?" The spirit grass in mid-air had already turned into a pure medicinal liquid, and the gentle voice sounded again.
"Got it. When controlling the spiritual grass, it is necessary to use the divine sense to find impurities at the same time, use the wood spiritual power to refine, and master the strength. It cannot lose its medicinal properties, nor can it leave impurities, otherwise it will not achieve the effect of purification. ”
He Miaomiao is interested in spiritual plants and alchemy, and it is very easy to learn.
"Good, you're smart, it won't take you a few days to get started. That's all for today, come and practice by yourself in the evening, and I'll check the results tomorrow. ”
After speaking, he took out a jade slip and handed it to He Miaomiao, and said, "You can go back and study these by yourself, they are all about the characteristics of low-level spirit plants, and they are very useful for you to purify the medicinal liquid." Let's go back. ”
After He Miaomiao took it, she found that the quality of the jade slip was better than that of the one bought outside, and the content inside was more detailed and rich, which was what she wanted to learn the most now.
"Thank you to the seniors, the younger generations must study carefully. ”
At this moment, a warm male voice suddenly came from outside, "Youlan, are you ready?" ”
