The winter moon carries a hint of cold indifference.

It was freezing cold, and the soil had frozen into ice. Even if Lu Ye had a cultivation of the first level of qi refining, it was a bit difficult to shovel up the soil that had been arched by the wild boar.

Lu Yuanfeng picked up a long sprout that had grown out of the exposed surface, looked at it for a while, and said, "This thing looks like it looks similar to the weeds you used when you gave me exorcism." Speaking of this, thinking of the original dilemma, Lu Yuanfeng's face turned slightly red.

With a red face, Lu Yuanfeng discovered another unreasonable thing!

It is said that men are strong in their youth and are the most impulsive. But this Lu Ye not only saw himself at that time, but also wiped mud on himself with his hands......

You don't have to be modest, your looks are excellent, and your figure is excellent!

Normally, Lu Ye would definitely have some dirty thoughts at that time, and even secretly gave himself to ......

But......

He is still perfect, and in Lu Ye's eyes, he has never found the kind of lewd look that many men have when they see him......

This doesn't make sense!

Well, it seems a bit shameless to think that you are not being thought about or even messed around with by men, but ...... That's right in theory!

Lu Ye didn't look back, and he didn't know what Lu Yuanfeng was messing up at the moment, he still tried to level the field, and responded casually, "Yes." ”

Hearing Lu Ye's answer, Lu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment. Oh, yes, I asked him a question just now. Looking at Lu Ye's calm appearance again, Lu Yuanfeng secretly smiled bitterly, put aside his thoughts, and said: "However, it seems that the spiritual power seems to be much stronger, almost close to the first-grade spiritual plant." Is this also the cultivation method taught to you by the master who taught you exorcism?"

"Hmm. Lu Ye replied casually.

"Are you planning to plant these weeds and sell them in Stone Town?" Lu Yuanfeng said, "These weeds, although they are close to spirit plants, are not spirit plants in the end, there should be no pills to use this thing, right?"

Not necessarily. This weed, although the spiritual power is thin, is extremely gentle, and it is the best choice for neutralizing the medicinal properties. However, Lu Ye did not say this.

The Luoyan Sect is a big sect, and there must be masters who are proficient in alchemy. Besides, Lu Yuanfeng also has Zhao Yun, the uncle of the alchemy master. If she wants to learn alchemy, she naturally doesn't need to pretend to be some master here to teach her. Even if he may have been proficient in alchemy in his previous life, that was more than a thousand years ago. The cultivation realm has developed for more than a thousand years, and the art of alchemy must have grown a lot. The little ink in his stomach is okay to show off in front of Zhou Yuansheng, an old apprentice who has no backstage of the sect, in front of Lu Yuanfeng, a genius girl from the Luoyan Sect?

It's ridiculous for Banmen to get an axe, and it's just as ridiculous to get an axe in front of Luban's grandson or even a domestic servant.

Lu Ye looked back at the ravine village not far away, then looked at Lu Yuanfeng, and said, "You go back, it's not good to be seen in the middle of the night." "Rural villagers, the most like to chew their tongues. If it is seen, it may be passed on.

Lu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Lu Ye said made some sense, but it was just ......

Why does it sound like you're driving yourself away?

A genius girl who has always been warmly welcomed, suddenly seems to be disliked.

Lu Yuanfeng was a little aggrieved.

He snorted and said, "Are you afraid that your sister-in-law will be jealous?"

"Uh...... Not really. Lu Ye said, "I'm mainly afraid that your father and Zhao Ji will find me trouble." ”

Lu Yuanfeng was speechless for a while, she believed that if she was really seen with Lu Ye in the middle of the night, she would definitely be known by her parents and Zhao Ji, and they would definitely find trouble with Lu Ye.

Although she is a genius girl with a cultivation level of condensation, she is only sixteen years old in the end, and Lu Yuanfeng is still a little afraid of her parents.

As for Zhao Ji?

Although he hates it, but in the end he is his cousin, and his uncle treats him very well, so what can he do with Zhao Ji?

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Lu Ye's field again, and Lu Yuanfeng said, "If it is harvested, you can take it to the Chen Ji Pharmacy, my uncle is very familiar with the shopkeeper Chen, you just need to say that it is from the ravine village, and I think that the shopkeeper Chen will not give you less spars." Having said that, Lu Yuanfeng had other ideas.

Wait until tomorrow, go to Stone Town, say hello to the shopkeeper Chen, and ask him to accept the weeds in the wild field, how many spars have been spent, and make up for the shopkeeper Chen.

Lu Yuanfeng knew how difficult it would be to cultivate without the support of the family and the sect. As a fellow villager and a cousin who is not in five suits, it is reasonable for him to take care of him a little. What's more, Lu Ye also saved his own life.

I thought about giving Lu Ye some spars directly, but I was worried that it would hurt Lu Ye's self-esteem.

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, understood Lu Yuanfeng's thoughts, and wanted to say that he had planted these things, and he didn't plan to sell them for the time being, and felt that Lu Yuanfeng was also kind, and it was not good for him to refuse directly, so he groaned slightly, smiled kindly at Lu Yuanfeng, and said, "Thank you." If no one buys it, I'll go to the Chen Kee Pharmacy. ”

"Okay. Although Lu Yuanfeng is smart and thoughtful, she doesn't know much about human affairs, and she didn't hear Lu Ye's euphemistic polite words, thinking that she had helped Lu Ye once, and she was very happy. So he smiled and said, "It's not an easy thing to cultivate, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Why be polite to me. Lu Yuanfeng smiled, "That's ...... Then I'll go first. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Yuanfeng always felt a little awkward, smiled wryly, turned around and walked towards the ravine village.

Walking not far away, Lu Yuanfeng glanced back at Lu Ye again, saw him bent down again, began to level the land, and raised his eyebrows.

How does it feel as if you are pestering him?

Really.

Lu Yuanfeng smiled bitterly and glanced at Lu Ye again.

What a strange guy.

......

Early the next morning, Lu Ye rushed to the Yuansheng medicine shop in Stone Town and instructed Zhou Yuansheng to make alchemy. He hoped that Zhou Yuansheng's level of control over the spiritual fire could reach a certain height, so that he could ensure that the elixir he refined in the future could be sold at auction for a good price.

Zhou Yuansheng has an almost crazy interest in alchemy. Even if it was a simple pill that he thought was good enough, Lu Ye asked him to refine it over and over again, and some small problems were like nitpicking to make him correct, and he didn't feel bored.

For Lu Ye, Zhou Yuansheng admired it from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, when he was alchemizing, Zhou Yuansheng just memorized the steps of alchemy, and he didn't understand the reason at all. After Lu Ye's words, Zhou Yuansheng suddenly had a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist.

Being able to do alchemy and understanding alchemy are definitely two different things.

"Alchemy is also a kind of cultivation. Lu Ye told Zhou Yuansheng, "Being able to control the spiritual fire skillfully and freely, naturally being able to use and control the spiritual power in your body reasonably, is definitely very beneficial to cultivation." ”

Zhou Yuansheng thought so. He clearly felt that even though his cultivation had not improved, his perception and use of the spiritual power in his body was much stronger than before.

Zhou Yuansheng did not hide the matter of selling the Juling Pill to Chen Ji Pharmacy, and handed over all the spars sold to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was not polite, and gave the three first-grade spars to Lin Zai and Lu Laozhuan, and kept one for himself, and then told Zhou Yuansheng, "I really lack spars, so I won't give it to you this time." The spar sold in the future, we will divide it equally. Zhou Yuansheng was not allowed to be polite, and Lu Ye said, "You also have to live and cultivate the truth, and the spar is a necessity." ”

Zhou Yuansheng bowed and said to Lu Ye, "Being able to learn alchemy with Shizun is to eat chaff and vegetables, and the disciple is also happy." Saying that, Zhou Yuansheng was a little choked.

Since he was a child, his parents died, and he has been lonely, and he has been repeatedly blinded for his studies. Now that someone suddenly cares so much about himself, and carefully teaches himself to refine the pill and cultivate the truth, even if the other party is just a young man, Zhou Yuansheng is still moved and wants to cry.

Lu Ye smiled, "That's not it." I told you all the basic alchemy methods, you practice hard, and I won't come for a while in the future. Well, maybe another two months. When the time comes, I will bring some medicinal herbs over, let's refine a valuable pill, take it to auction, maybe we can sell it for a good price." ”

Hearing that Lu Ye would not come for two months, Zhou Yuansheng was a little reluctant. "Master, if you are not here, if there is something that the disciple does not understand......

"It's okay, if you have something, go directly to the ravine village to find me. Lu Ye said.

Zhou Yuansheng couldn't, so he had to nod yes. After that, he hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully, "The shopkeeper Chen asked me where the Gathering Spirit Pill came from, and I said that a customer sold it to me. The disciple is worried that if others know about the master's ability, he is afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to the master and delay the master's cultivation. ”

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "You did the right thing." ”

After saying goodbye to Zhou Yuansheng, Lu Ye took Lu Lao and Lin back to the ravine village.

In the following days, Lu Ye threw himself into the crop field.

Turning the soil, fertilizing, catching insects, irrigating ......

Seeing that there were finally buds arching out of the ground, Lu Ye's mood was also excellent.

The shoots grew day by day, and when the spring flowers bloomed, they finally grew to a height of a hand.

At this time, Zhou Yuansheng ran over. Not only did he bring a lot of spars to Lu Ye, but he also brought a piece of cloth and a lot of meat. When he saw the weeds in Lu Ye's crops, Zhou Yuansheng was very surprised.

Subtleties......

Well, being able to cultivate weeds with only a little spiritual power to the point of approaching a first-class product, this is the ability!

Zhou Yuansheng's admiration for Lu Ye went one step further. Although he has always regretted not seeing that magical ancestor, Zhou Yuansheng is not in a hurry. He found that the various alchemy knowledge that Lu Ye knew alone was enough for him to study for a long time.

"Cut three times, and the rhizomes of these weeds will be thicker. Pruning with peach trees is a truth. Lu Ye said, "Don't underestimate these weeds, they are definitely more suitable for neutralizing medicinal properties than high-grade spirit plants." Do you know why?"

The softer the low-grade spirit plant, the more suitable it is for neutralizing medicinal properties. Zhou Yuansheng has known this for a long time. However, he felt that Lu Ye might have a different point of view, so he shook his head.

"The softer the neutralizing medicine, the less likely it is to damage the essence of other medicinal materials. Lu Ye said.

"Ah...... "It's the same as I know." Zhou Yuansheng was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. The little master may be worried that his foundation is insufficient, so he wants to teach some basic knowledge of alchemy. Exhaled, Zhou Yuansheng made a trance and said, "I see." ”

Lu Ye smiled and continued: "If it is refined properly, I think that with these wild grasses, combined with some high-grade medicinal materials, it will probably be possible to refine a third-grade or even fourth-grade elixir at the highest. ”

"Hmm, such good things, shouldn't we give them a name?" Zhou Yuansheng said.

These weeds have always been looked down upon, so no one has named them for a long time.

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, looked at the green weeds in his eyes, and said, "Name...... You look at it. ”

Zhou Yuansheng said, "Then I want to think about it......"

"Whatever. Lu Ye smiled, "How is the ability to control the spiritual fire?"

"I guess it's about the same. ”

Lu Ye casually picked up a grain of rice from the ground, handed it to Zhou Yuansheng, and said, "Use spiritual power to cut it into four pieces, don't scatter it." ”

"This ......" Zhou Yuansheng asked himself, if he couldn't do it.

Lu Ye said, "Let's step up the practice." I'm going to harvest all these weeds, and then I'm going to dry them and roast them. In another seven or eight days, I'll go to the pharmacy to find you. ”

"Seven or eight days...... Zhou Yuansheng said, "When the time comes, there will be only a few days left before the auction, will it be too late?" Zhou Yuansheng was a little worried that his alchemy level was not high enough, and if there was any accident, he would delay his participation in the auction.

"It's okay, you just need to do a better job of controlling your spiritual power. Lu Ye said.

Zhou Yuansheng really wanted to see how Lu Ye dried and fried these weeds, but he still had to go back to practice controlling the spiritual fire, so he had no choice but to say goodbye regretfully.

After Zhou Yuansheng left, Lu Ye took Lu Lao and Lin to start harvesting weeds.

Three acres of weeds were harvested for three carts. Then set up a large pot in the courtyard of your home, and throw the weeds directly into the pot to fry dry.

Fry it dry, let the dew wet in the courtyard again, and fry it again.

After tossing the weeds of the three-horse cart repeatedly, Lu Ye picked out a lot of them and threw them away, and finally only half of the cart remained.

Half a car is enough.

At the end of February, Lu Ye asked Lin to put all the fried weeds into the storage ring and went directly to Stone Town. found Zhou Yuansheng and looked at Zhou Yuansheng's proficiency in controlling the spiritual fire.

I'm still not satisfied, but it's enough.

Looking at the medicine cabinet in the pharmacy, Lu Ye felt that with these medicinal materials, plus the roasted hay, he could teach Zhou Yuansheng to refine many kinds of pills.

Lu Ye asked Lin Zai with some unease, "Are you sure that this Condensing Pill is worth more than the Pulse Cultivation Pill?"

Refining the Condensing Pill was Lin Zai's suggestion.

Lin Zai said very confidently, "Of course." You think, taking the Condensing Pill can make the cultivators in the Qi Refining Period better condense their veins, and of course they are more valuable than the Vein Cultivation Pill. ”

Zhou Yuansheng said, "What Shi Niang said should be right, the Divine Concentration Pill should be more valuable." Thinking of the difficulty of stepping into the condensation period, Zhou Yuansheng sighed and said, "Condensation...... It's not easy. Speaking of which, Zhou Yuansheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why hadn't I heard of the existence of this kind of Divine Concentration Pill in the first place? Otherwise, even if I sold the medicine shop, I would have to buy a Divine Concentration Pill to help me condense my veins.

Speaking of which, this little master's insight doesn't seem to be weak. I even knew about the existence of the Condensing Pill. I have been running a pharmacy for decades, and I have never heard of the elixir of Ning Shen Dan.

Lin Zai was very happy to hear that Zhou Yuansheng agreed with his point of view. "yes. A long time ago...... "It's really a long time ago, at that time, Lin Zai's cultivation was still very low, and it was the first time he came to the cultivation realm...... "I met a cultivator of the ninth layer of qi refining, and killed a companion for the sake of a condensing pill. ”

Lu Ye glanced at Lin Zai, and he could guess without asking that the cultivator who brutally killed his companion probably couldn't escape Lin Zai's clutches.

Since Lin Zai and Zhou Yuansheng both felt that the Condensing Pill was feasible, let's refine it.

Although he didn't remember the name of the Divine Pill, he only had to listen to Lin talk about the effect of the Divine Pill, and Lu Ye remembered how to refine it. The hay that I baked and fried myself was just right for use.

Refining a three-grade pill is not an easy task. Not all the herbs are just thrown into the Dan furnace.

First of all, it is necessary to purify the medicinal materials, and then add the required medicinal materials one by one, refine them into sand with spiritual fire, and neutralize the medicinal materials in addition to condense into Dan, and then carry out the necessary warmth.

This set is easy to say, but it is extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming to actually do. Moreover, if any of these steps goes wrong, everything in front of you will be in vain.

Lu Ye felt that although Zhou Yuansheng's qualifications were not very good, and his level of controlling spiritual fire was barely average, he was very suitable for learning alchemy.

Alchemy not only requires talent and ability, but also needs to be able to endure loneliness and boredom. A detached personality like Lin Zai is not suitable for alchemy at all.

"With the smallest spiritual fire...... Yes, although this medicinal material is called King Grass, it is actually extremely fragile, and if the spiritual fire is a little larger, not only can it not be purified, but it will destroy the spirituality of King Grass...... The white crane leaf is a wood attribute, and it is ...... with a rush fire Rest assured, if it can't be burned, it belongs to yin wood, and warm fire will destroy its yin attributes, and if it is quickly purified, it can retain its yin attributes......"

For almost every step, Zhou Yuansheng needed Lu Ye's guidance step by step.

I have also refined pills, and I have some experience in alchemy. If it were someone else, hearing Lu Ye's all-encompassing questioning, he would definitely be disgusted. However, Zhou Yuansheng has always maintained an attitude of being humbly taught, even though he knows that Wang Cao needs to be purified with the smallest spiritual fire.

Respect for teachers!

This is the basic morality of a cultivator.

Zhou Yuansheng, who has always longed for a master to guide him, will never be disrespectful to Lu Ye, even if Lu Ye's cultivation is not worth mentioning.

What's more, Zhou Yuansheng felt that Lu Ye might be worried that his foundation was insufficient, so he took the trouble to tell him everything. Such a careful master, others will definitely not be able to ask for it. Not only should I not be disgusted, but I should feel lucky!

Finally, all the medicinal materials have been purified, and the second step is refining.

"Master, take a break......

"It doesn't matter. Lu Ye said, "Don't be distracted...... You are not skilled enough to control the spiritual fire now, and it is easy to get distracted. ”

"Hmm. As soon as he agreed, Zhou Yuansheng's face suddenly changed. He suddenly found that the spiritual fire he had just used was a little bigger, and it looked like it was about to burn out those medicinal herbs. Zhou Yuansheng was startled and hurriedly reined in the spiritual fire. It's just that I was nervous for a while, and I overcollected it, and the spiritual fire was extinguished.

To be bad!

In the step of refining medicinal materials, whether the spiritual fire is too large or too small, it is easy to waste the medicinal materials. Once it is really scrapped, the previous purification work will be in vain, and the medicinal materials need to be purified again. In that case, a lot of time will definitely be wasted, and it is likely that you will not be able to attend the auction in time.

Zhou Yuansheng's face changed greatly, and he wanted to control the spiritual fire, but the more impatient he was, the more he couldn't control the spiritual fire to the strength it should have. The wisps of spiritual fire on the tips of the fingers are always flickering and dimming.

"Don't worry...... Lu Ye's hand suddenly touched the Dan furnace, and a wisp of Yuan Shen was directly put into the Dan furnace by him.

Zhou Yuansheng was surprised to find that those medicinal materials that were about to be burned were forcibly protected by a force. It is a trivial matter to protect the medicinal materials from being destroyed due to the instability of the spiritual fire, but it can make the spirituality of these medicinal materials not lose ...... Zhou Yuansheng asked himself that even if he had the cultivation of the condensation period, he would not be able to do it.

"Stay calm. Lu Ye said in a low voice, "The qi sinks into the dantian, and the heart and fire are one......"

Zhou Yuansheng took a breath and gradually calmed down, and the spiritual fire on the tips of his fingers gradually stabilized.

Lu Ye retracted the Yuan Shen and said with a smile, "There is no danger." ”

Zhou Yuansheng glanced at Lu Ye, wanting to say something, but he was worried about being distracted again. Therefore, he didn't dare to think about it, and concentrated on controlling the spiritual fire to refine medicinal materials.

On the side, Lin Zai looked at Lu Ye curiously and said, "Husband, I'm really curious." How did you use the primordial spirit to protect the spirituality of the medicinal herbs?"

Lu Ye made a silent gesture, he didn't dare to disturb Zhou Yuansheng anymore.

Lin Zai was a little dumbfounded, looked at it for a while, felt bored, and simply walked out of the pharmacy and came to the street.

On the street, almost everyone is surging in one direction.

- Smoke Gate.

I heard that because of the rumors that the Feiyun Sect would also participate in this pill auction, this auction was even more lively than before. Many cultivators who didn't have much demand for pills also came over to see the excitement.

The dispute between the two major sects in the area of the Falling Smoky Mountain has attracted the interest of many people.

Lin yawned again, feeling bored.

Before, I felt that since I had become a cultivator, I should always study alchemy. However, after studying for so many days, Lin gradually lost interest. For the sake of an elixir, it is too troublesome to grind and chirp for so long.

It's better to grab it.

Lin Zai, who was extremely bored, walked around the street for a while, but didn't find anything interesting, and was about to go back to the pharmacy, but suddenly saw a young man in the crowd surging in the direction of Yanxiamen, who looked extremely kind, as if he had seen it somewhere.

After being stunned for a long time, Lin Zai finally remembered the origin of this young man......

Lin Zai chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

......

A three-grade condensing pill took a day and a night.

Zhou Yuansheng's grasp of spiritual power is still a little lacking, and it is only a three-grade spirit pill, which makes him tired and gasping a little. However, looking at the successful refining of the Condensing Pill, Zhou Yuansheng's face was full of excitement.

"It's done?" he asked Lu Ye cautiously.

Lu Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go, go to Yanxia Gate." ”
