Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, dumplings......

Those nineteen years were not all illusory.

Smeared with a layer of paste, pasted the red Spring Festival couplets, and then listened to the sound of firecrackers from far and near, one after another, Lu Ye felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Lin Zai's shouting came from the kitchen. "Husband, eat dumplings. ”

"It's coming. Lu Ye agreed, and saw Lin Zai running out of the kitchen with a pot of hot dumplings.

Lu Lao Yan took a bowl of dumplings, gestured with Lu Ye, and walked towards the sixth aunt's house. On weekdays, Aunt Domeng takes care of her six children, and during the New Year, it is natural to send a bowl of dumplings to show friendship.

Lu Ye returned to the room, picked up the dumplings that Lin Zai had served, took a bite, and was full of relish. "It tastes good. ”

"yes. Lin Zai smiled, "It's better than the food made by Caiyi, right?"

Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh, "yes." Speaking of which, why did Caiyi go for so long and not come back?"

Lin Zai rolled his eyes and said, "What?

"How could it be. Lu Ye said, "It's enough to have our little Lanlan, I don't want anyone." ”

Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing that Lu Ye was referring to cabbage. Snorting, Lin Zai said, "I heard Aunt Liu'er say that during the Chinese New Year, many shops in Stone Town will carry out promotions, I don't know if places like medicinal herb shops will do the same." Isn't the pill you want to refine still short of a medicinal herb? Let's go to the town tomorrow and take a look. ”

Lu Ye sighed, "Whether there is a promotion or not, it doesn't mean much to us. We don't have a single hedron, we can't buy anything. ”

Lin twisted his brows again, then put down the bowl, took off the storage ring on his hand, and handed it to Lu Ye, "This, it should be able to exchange a few spars." ”

Lu Ye was stunned, his face was full of emotion, and he said, "No, how can I use your storage ring to exchange for a spar." ”

"What's yours and mine. Lin Zai said angrily, "It's all a family." ”

Lu Ye took a deep breath, grabbed Lin Zai's hand, and said, "Lan Lan...... I ......"

"Husband, as long as you can cultivate as soon as possible, I am willing to do whatever I want. Lin said again, bowing his head a little aggrievedly, looking at me pitiful, "When Caiyi comes back, you don't want me." Thinking of Caiyi, Lin Zai was not very happy. She believes that Caiyi will definitely come back, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a big trouble. These days, Lin Zai always likes to run up the mountain, trying to run into the colorful clothes that are self-destructing the original god, so as to take the opportunity to commit a black hand. It's just a pity that the colorful clothes seem to be very tightly hidden, and they can't be found.

"How could it be. Lu Ye Zhengse said, "The mountains have no tombs, and the heavens and the earth are combined, so they dare to be with Qing." After saying this, Lu Ye himself was disgusted and wanted to vomit. However, maybe I should really exercise to say some disgusting love words. After all, when Caiyi comes back in the future and deals with the two actors, he will have to improve his acting skills.

"Husband......" Lin Zai was disgusted by Lu Ye's love words, and looked up at Lu Ye with tears in his eyes. His eyes fell on Lu Ye's oily lips full of dumplings, Lin Zai was stunned for a moment, feeling that his play might be a little too much, worried that Lu Ye would suddenly kiss him and be embarrassed when he was disgusted and vomited. Quickly let go of Lu Ye's hand, Lin Zai said, "Let's eat first." ”

Lu Ye also felt that he had acted a little too much, so he responded, and peeked at Lin Zai while eating dumplings.

He was really very curious in his heart, what was Lin Zai's purpose for cultivating as soon as possible?

At this time, Lu Lao Lao also came back, and the family had a happy meal, and then rested.

Early the next morning, Lu Ye took Lin Zai out of the door.

At noon, we arrived at Stone Town.

During the New Year, Stone Town is more lively than ever. The street, which is not too wide, is crowded with people. Indeed, as Lin Zai guessed, whether it is a medicinal herb shop or a magic treasure shop, they have all put up New Year's promotion signs to attract customers. At the door of Chen Ji Pharmacy, there was even a banner that read, "Master Zhao Yun of Yanxiamen came to the shop in person to give free guidance on alchemy".

As an alchemy master, Zhao Yun's name is definitely well-known.

At this moment, the door of Chen Ji Pharmacy was crowded with people, and the long queue was dozens of feet away.

Lin glanced at it again and said with emotion, "Whether it is the Cultivation Realm or the Demon Domain, the master of alchemy refining is always the most popular. However, speaking of which, Husband, you are all masters of alchemy refiners, but you have never been so popular. ”

"Why?" Lu Ye asked.

Lin glanced at Lu Ye again, smiled, and said, "Because you only give the beautiful woman an alchemy refiner, and you have to pay for that beautiful woman to sleep with you." ”

"Ugh. It seems that I used to be really not a good thing. ”

"yes. Lin Zai sighed, "Probably only a stupid woman like me would take a fancy to you." Speaking of this, Lin Zai's heart was actually full of curiosity. Back then, the cabbage with a deep background, a superb cultivation, and a peerless appearance, how could he give up on Tanhualang?

Lu Ye smiled bitterly, wanting to say something in response to Lin Zai's embarrassment, but he was worried that he would be disgusted. He looked around and said, "Where can I sell storage rings?"

"Let's go straight to that Yuansheng medicine shop. Lin Zai said, "That old boy must have taken advantage of us a lot last time, and this time it is feasible to directly use the storage ring to exchange medicinal materials with him." ”

"Okay. Give it a try. ”

The two walked together.

After walking a short distance, I saw the deserted Yuansheng medicine shop in front of the door.

Lin Zai took the lead and shouted at Zhou Yuansheng, "Shopkeeper, do you remember it?"

Zhou Yuansheng raised his head, saw Lin Zai, his heart chuckled, and then looked at Lu Ye who walked in behind Lin Zai. He remembered that Lin Zai had said before that those shoots were not refined by Lin Zai. Could it be this teenager? This young man seems to only have a cultivation of the first level of qi refining, and it is impossible for him to be an alchemy master.

Qiang Zi stabilized his mind, Zhou Yuansheng smiled slightly, and said, "Guest officer, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Uh-huh. Lin Zai smiled and said, "Last time, those medicinal materials, the shopkeeper earned a lot of spars, right?"

"Oh, it's okay. I wonder what kind of medicinal herbs the guest officer is going to sell this time?"

"We don't sell medicinal herbs this time. Lin Zai said, "I want to buy some medicinal herbs." ”

"Then I don't know what medicinal herbs the guest officer needs?"

"Ahem......" Lin glanced at Lu Ye again.

Lu Ye smiled bitterly and hugged his fists at Zhou Yuansheng, and said, "Don't hide it, we are a little tight on money, I want to ...... I want to use this storage ring to exchange it for some worthless medicinal herbs. With that, Lu Ye handed over the storage ring.

Zhou Yuansheng frowned, still took the storage ring quietly on his face, glanced at it casually, and said with a smile, "This storage ring, the space is not large, it is the lowest level storage ring, and it can probably be exchanged for ten first-grade crystals." I don't know what medicinal materials the guest officers need?" He felt that Lu Ye, who was at the first level of qi refining, was just Lin Zai's follower at the third level of qi refining.

Lin Zai ignored Zhou Yuansheng and looked at Lu Ye instead.

"This ......" Lu Ye was a little embarrassed, "I need some medicinal materials of the same genus as Jinmu, what do you need...... I'll have to see if I know. ”

That's funny.

Coming to buy medicinal herbs but don't know what to buy?

If it was normal, Zhou Yuansheng would definitely think that the other party was here to entertain him. However, if there is really an alchemy master behind the two people in front of him, then it will be two words.

After all, I still plan to apprentice. Maybe in the future, these two people in front of me will be my senior brothers and sisters.

Zhou Yuansheng looked back at his medicine cabinet, then looked at Lin Zai, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Lu Ye, "Is it okay if it just belongs to the same gold and wood?"

"Hmm...... Golden wood belongs to the same genus, medicinal herbs that bloom and bear fruit in midsummer, and root plants, preferably no more than one product. Lu Ye groaned, thinking, "Oh, and don't want this year's new goods, if there are ones that have been stored for three or five years or even longer, it would be better." ”

Zhou Yuansheng is not good at alchemy, but he is extremely familiar with the various properties of medicinal materials. After listening to Lu Ye's words, he suddenly had a plan. He picked two from the medicine cabinet behind him and placed them on the counter. "What do you think of these two things?"

Lu Ye picked up two medicinal materials, looked at them for a while, selected one, and said, "This one is very good, but it's a pity that there are some new ones." Are there any old ones?"

Zhou Yuansheng chuckled in his heart.

This young man is not very old, and his cultivation is not high, but he can tell the age of the medicinal materials at a glance? In addition, Xia Sheng's rhizome is good to say, such medicinal herbs are generally relatively soft in spirit. But the newer the herbs, the better, so why does he want to be old?

Zhou Yuansheng's heart moved, and he turned around and selected a medicinal herb from the medicine cabinet, "This, five years ago, can it be used?"

Lu Ye picked up the medicinal herb and glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The heart said that this old man looked honest, but he was a profiteer. The one he took out before was last year's medicinal herb, and the one he took out later was this year's. "That...... Is there anything more old?"

Zhou Yuansheng glanced at Lu Ye, took out another one, and said, "Seven years ago." It's all right?"

Lu Ye glanced at it and smiled bitterly again. This one, like the previous one, is new this year. Sighing, Lu Ye picked up the first one and said, "Let's still be this." ”

Zhou Yuansheng's heart tightened, it was obvious that the young man in front of him seemed to be able to really see the age of the medicinal materials. Zhou Yuansheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "I don't know how much the guest officer needs?"

"Hmm...... Ten is about the same. ”

"Heh, ten heart-filled grasses are not worth any spars. Zhou Yuansheng pushed the storage ring in front of Lu Ye and said, "The old man can give the heart grass to the guest officer." But......" Looking at Lu Ye, Zhou Yuansheng smiled, "Can the guest officer answer a question?"

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the problem?"

"Most of the medicinal materials are new goods, I don't know why the guest officer wants old goods?" said Zhou Yuansheng and took out a small linen bag from his storage ring. "These are hearty grasses that have been stored for seven years. There are about a dozen of them, and if the guest officer answers the old question, these will be given to the guest officer. ”

This thing is full of heart grass, only cultivators with low cultivation can only use it when refining primary pills, and the sales volume is not high. The business of Yuansheng Pharmacy is not very good, and some medicinal materials have been unsalable for seven or eight years, but it is normal.

Lu Ye looked at the grass full of hearts, and his face could not hide his joy.

It is indeed a heart-filled grass that has been stored for seven years.

With these heart-filled herbs, the pills you want to refine can definitely be raised to a higher level! You can definitely sell them for a good price at the Yanxiamen Pill Auction!

As for the reason for using old goods—isn't this the basic knowledge that alchemists need to master?

Lu Ye didn't think much about it, and said truthfully, "Most of the medicinal materials are naturally as new as possible, and some even need to be freshly picked. However, some herbs are special. Like this...... Well, Manxincao ...... "He didn't know until that the herb he needed was called Manxincao." "The attributes of gold and wood, the longer it is stored, the gold is prosperous and the wood is decaying, the wood is declining but not dying, and the gold is not dying and accumulating. Gold is tired but not rigid, tends to be soft, and almost water, but not water. Although spirituality is reduced, it is more flexible. The alchemy of the wood genus and the fire genus medicinal materials, although there is gold, it is powerless to hurt the wood. Gold does not hurt wood, but it can tire fire. The wood is not injured, but it is powerless to make a fire. Fire wants to overcome gold, gold is soft and like water, and it can't. The three contain each other to achieve a balanced medicinal effect......"

Zhou Yuansheng listened to Lu Ye's words, and his heart was like a volcano erupting.

He believes that there must be a famous teacher behind Lu Ye. Just the theory he just said, when you think about it, is absolutely extremely profound, but he has never heard of it!

See the subtleties!

This is a sentence that Zhao Yun often says!

A simple theory is enough to show that Lu Ye is a son of a master!

Think about the young shoots that Lin brought again last time, the method of purifying the young shoots, but even Zhao Yun is ashamed of himself!

Zhou Yuansheng held back the excitement in his heart, looked at Lu Ye, and his thoughts were tumbling in his heart.

Ask him where his master is?

Probably not possible.

The more advanced you are, the more disdainful you are to accept yourself as an old apprentice.

What's more, in addition to the worthless medicinal materials in this pharmacy, he doesn't even have ten spars, which is a little family property, even if he is a master, he can't look down on it.

Thinking about his past of more than 80 years, Zhou Yuansheng sighed in his heart.

He, like Zhao Yun, is extremely interested in alchemy. It's just that he doesn't have Zhao Yun's qualifications, and he has never been able to enter the Xiuzhen sect in his life. Without Zhao Yun's luck, he was not able to be favored by some alchemy seniors and teach the way of alchemy. Thinking about many years ago, I saw Zhao Yun worship a famous teacher, and I also went to find that teacher, but I was turned away. Later, he had the heart to retreat and worship under Zhao Yun. But at that time, Zhao Yun was young and his cultivation was not high, so he really couldn't pull his face. Later, Zhao Yun's reputation grew, and he wanted to worship his subordinates again, but he couldn't do it......

Looking at Lu Ye again, an idea suddenly popped up in Zhou Yuansheng's mind!

Worship this young man's teacher as a teacher, I'm afraid there is no hope. But if you ignore the old face and worship the young man in front of you as a teacher...... Well, this young man's cultivation is really ...... But he has the guidance of a famous teacher, it may not take three or five years, and when his cultivation goes up, he wants to apprentice again, and he is afraid that he will have to climb high again!

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future!

The young man's clothes were very shabby, and he didn't even buy a few extremely cheap spars full of grass......

If he worships him as a teacher, just these medicinal materials in his own pharmacy are afraid that they will be enough for him to be moved!

But......

It's better to be cautious.

Zhou Yuansheng coughed dryly, looked at Lu Ye with burning eyes, and said, "The five elements are balanced, but it is the root of the elixir?"

Lu Ye was stunned when he heard this. The heart said that this old man, why did he ask one question and another question? Looking at the old man's eager gaze again, Lu Ye's heart moved. Could it be that this old man wants to accept me as a disciple?

Although I have no interest in apprenticeship, I ......

Glancing at the medicine cabinet in this Yuan Crude Medicine Shop, Lu Ye was tempted.

There is really such a master, and learning alchemy is secondary, mainly those worthless medicinal materials, which are probably convenient.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye felt that maybe he should behave well, and it would be good to have a cheap master. Then he replied, "Whether the five elements are balanced or not depends on the medicinal properties." Balanced medicine, multi-conditioning and maintenance. If it is an emergency such as detoxification, restraint of meridian disorders, etc., and the five elements are balanced, the effect is insufficient. ”

"Emergency? The five elements are uneven, and the medicinal properties are disordered, how can we grasp it? Cultivators have different physiques, cultivation behaviors, and even qualifications, and the five elements are uneven, which is the most likely to backfire. ”

"The right medicine. Lu Ye Dao, "The way of cultivation is based on the body." The way of Dan, auxiliary also. If you don't take Dan as the master, how can it be counterproductive? Physique, cultivation, qualifications, and secondarily are all different, and they don't deviate from their roots. Supplemented by its roots, the avenue also. ”

Dan's way, auxiliary also?

Supplemented by its roots, the avenue also?

It means that no matter how good the pill is, it can only be based on the premise of assisting the cultivator himself? What about the rumored pill? Isn't it based on the pill?

This theory ......

Zhou Yuansheng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Robbing Dan, non-auxiliary also." ”

"Robbery Pill?" Lu Ye was stunned and said, "What is Robbery Pill?"

"Well, it's the elixir that helps cultivators survive the tribulation. Zhou Yuansheng said, "The use of the pill is to avoid the edge of the catastrophe with medicinal properties, so as to help the cultivator successfully survive the catastrophe." ”

Lu Ye shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This, drink to quench your thirst." What are you robbing?"

"Heavenly jealousy of Xiuzhen!"

"Definitely. Lu Ye said, "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds......" Speaking of this, Lu Ye was stunned, laughed a little embarrassed, and said, "Calamity, it should be similar to a heavenly assessment." It is not advisable to use elixir to help survive the tribulation. And the robbery of the Dan ...... Well, if you want to be peaceful, you will definitely use the medicinal materials of yin and yang to the extreme, and the price of those things should be expensive. Moreover, Yang gives birth to calamity and Yin avoids calamity, so the medicinal materials of Yin should be used. However, yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and it may be better to use yang medicinal materials. The extremes of things must be opposed, and the yang pole is the yin and the yin is ......" Speaking of these questions, Lu Ye's mind suddenly broadened, and he unconsciously said endlessly.

Zhou Yuansheng's face suddenly turned red.

He walked out of the counter quickly, stood in front of Lu Ye, and bowed.

Lu Ye and Lin Zai were both startled.

"Shopkeeper, you are ......" Lu Ye hurriedly went to help.

Zhou Yuansheng knelt on the ground and refused to get up. "Former ...... The senior ......, "Okay, it's really a bit unspeakable to call a rookie who cultivates the truth at the first level of qi refining a senior, but in order to learn alchemy, I can't take care of a lot." What's more, the master comes first, at least the other party's alchemy theory is ashamed of himself. What's more, he doesn't really want to worship him as a teacher, he just wants to be his master's apprentice.

Being a master's apprentice was once an unattainable luxury for Zhou Yuansheng.

"I admire the alchemy skills of my predecessors, and I implore my predecessors to accept them as apprentices!" Zhou Yuansheng said, choking up. Thinking about the hardships of self-cultivation and alchemy for more than 80 years, and the difficulty of apprenticeship, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lu Ye was a little stunned.

Even if he has some theories about alchemy, how can this old man say that he is also a master of the first layer of condensation, is it necessary to worship himself as a teacher? I still want to worship him......

What is this called?

Lin Zai looked at the two in front of him with some amusement, hugged his arms, smiled, and said, "You have to take some apprenticeship gifts, right?"

Apprenticeship?

That's a good sign!

Zhou Yuansheng knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "This Yuansheng medicine shop is in vain." Anything in the pharmacy is at the mercy of the master. ”

If you can't make it, in one fell swoop!

Zhou Yuansheng swore that this time, he must become the apprentice grandson of the alchemy master! In order to become the apprentice grandson of the master, not to mention that Lu Ye only has the first layer of qi refining, even if it is a dog!

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment.

Lin Zai couldn't help laughing, "Okay, go, pour me a glass of water for my sister." Lin Zai felt that life was getting better and better, there was an apprentice who was the shopkeeper, spars, medicinal materials or something, was it still a problem?

However, after learning about Zhou Yuansheng's economic situation, the smile on Lin Zai's face converged a lot.

This old fellow, in addition to the room full of worthless old medicinal herbs, is also poor enough!
