Chapter 23: Master and Apprentice
Ning Chen frowned secretly, there was only one foundation building period monk in this attic in this palace area, obviously this foundation building period monk was undoubtedly Elder Tian Feng. He secretly said in his heart, "What Hua Shuo said is right, this Elder Tian Feng really has a bad temper. ”
"Disciple Ning Chen, on the order of Elder Gong, came to Elder Tian Feng to be an alchemy apprentice. Ning Chen said to the attic.
"Squeak!"
The attic door opened wide, and a tall, middle-aged man stepped out of it. He glanced at Ning Chen a few times, and suddenly laughed, "Senior Brother Gong, that miser, finally knows that you have sent me an alchemy apprentice who looks pleasing to the eye." "Okay, you're good. Bring your disciple's order. ”
Ning Chen was praised by him a little inexplicably. Immediately took out the disciple order and handed it over.
"It's called Ning Chen! Well, that's fine. If you bow to me three times, you will be my alchemy apprentice in the future. As a teacher, you will teach alchemy to you, and I hope you will not live up to your expectations as a teacher. ”
"Yes. The disciple visits the master. Ning Chen was not hypocritical, and immediately bowed to Tian Feng three times.
"Okay, this is the apprenticeship for the teacher to you, a bottle of solid qi pill. Although it was only a medium-grade spirit pill, the six Qi Solid Pills in this bottle were enough to exchange for three hundred sect contribution points. It's up to you whether you want to take it yourself or exchange it for sect contribution points. ”
"Thank you, master. Ning Chen took the jade bottle and thanked him.
Tian Feng waved his hand, "We don't have so many rules. Then, he took out two Xuantie Janes and handed them to Ning Chen, saying, "One of these two Xuantie Janes is recorded as three Yipin Danfang. The other recorded the name and efficacy of the spirit grass and spirit fruit required for a pint of pills. The teacher gives you five days to memorize it. After five days, the teacher will take back the Xuantie Jane and take you to the Spirit Grass Pavilion to let you take care of the Spirit Grass Garden and learn to identify the Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit. ”
"Yes, master. ”
Subsequently, Tian Feng arranged a small attic for him as a residence, instructed him to memorize the contents of the Xuantie Jane carefully, and left.
Closing the attic door, Ning Chen sat on the stool and thought. "It seems that it will take some time to use the Waste Pill to cultivate. For now, let's learn how to make alchemy first. In addition, the condensation and refining of essence blood must also begin. Strive to condense and refine three drops of essence blood as soon as possible and hand them over to Gu Yunyan. When the time comes, I will go to the place where I am buried, and earn sect contribution points while cultivating. Exchange the sect's contribution points for a spiritual weapon and learn a few spells. When he poured, he went home to stay for a while to let the Ning family rise again. I believe that Mu Xueyan is a genius, with the kind of cyclic and gradual exercises of the Immortal Gate, she will only practice the second or third level of Qi at most at this time, right? Mu family, the Wang family will wait for me, it won't be too long, and I will let you also taste the feeling of the rapid decline of the family Dao. ”
For five days in a row, Ning Chen was in the attic. He already knew the contents of the two Xuantie slips, what materials were needed for the three Yipin Dan Fangs and the refining process. The spirit grass, spirit fruits, and so on required to refine a spirit pill were also thoroughly memorized.
The rest of the time, he used it to condense and refine the essence blood, and successfully condensed a drop of essence blood, which was then loaded with the black bottle given by Gu Yunyan.
Use spiritual power to shake away some of the dust attached to the black robe, and tie the hair back up with a wooden hairpin. He walked out of the attic and walked towards where Tian Feng was.
As he walked, he used his divine sense to perceive the entire palace, and the three inner disciples who had used his divine sense last time were still refining the elixir in those compartments in the main hall at this time. His master Tian Feng was tinkering with some bottles and cans in the attic last time.
Ning Chen came to the door of the attic where Tian Feng was, and shouted, "Master, the fifth day has arrived, and the disciple Ning Chen has come to return the Xuantie Jane." ”
"Dust boy, wait for a while. Tian Feng's voice came from the attic.
"Yes. Ning Chen replied. Stand still at the door of the attic and wait.
After a while, the attic door opened, and Tian Feng walked out of it. "Remember?"
"Back to the master, the disciple has kept it in mind. After Ning Chen finished speaking, he held two Xuantie Jane in both hands and handed them forward.
Tian Feng nodded, and took the Xuantie Jian into the Sumeru ring space. Then he summoned a sword, which grew larger in mid-air against the wind. "Let's go, I'll take you to the Spirit Grass Pavilion for the teacher. With that, he jumped onto the giant sword.
Ning Chen also followed the giant sword. Tian Feng harnessed the giant sword and carried him towards the Spirit Grass Pavilion.
The Spirit Grass Pavilion was under the giant peak of the Alchemy Hall, and the giant sword flew from the peak to the valley at great speed.
The clouds and mist in the sky surrounded the mountain peaks, and he couldn't see the situation in the valley, but Ning Chen's divine sense was strong, and under his divine sense, the situation in the valley was clear to him. There are many large and small gardens in the valley, and all kinds of spiritual grasses and spiritual trees are planted in the garden.
This made Ning Chen a little surprised in his heart, because he had learned about the Huangquan Sect from a book called Huangquan Zhi in the Outer Gate Technique Pavilion.
As mentioned above, the underground of the Yellow Spring Sect contains yellow spring water, and the mountain soil and sand and stones here have been soaked in a yellow spring rain ten thousand years ago, and there is a trace of breath emitted by the yellow spring water contained in the ground. Except for an unknown white tree that grows, no other flowers and trees can grow at all. But what is the matter with the vibrant spirit grass and spirit tree in this valley?
Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask Tian Feng.
And the greatsword has also reached the valley, and the two of them jump off the giant sword. Tian Feng withdrew the giant sword and said to him, "This is the Spirit Grass Pavilion. You take care of the Lingcao Garden in the Lingcao Pavilion for a month, master the growth law of the Lingcao, identify the Lingcao, and experience it with more heart. It will be of great help to you in the future alchemy. ”
"Yes, master. Ning Chen was actually a little reluctant in his heart, after all, he was coming for the waste pill, and he also wanted to condense and refine the essence blood. He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "If I knew it was so complicated, I wouldn't have entered the Alchemy Hall." ”
"Alas, the underground of the mountain gate of our Huangquan Sect contains yellow spring water, and the mountain soil, sand and stones have been soaked in yellow spring water, so flowers and trees cannot survive. This valley can be planted with spirit grass and spirit trees, and it is still the soil that our predecessors of the Huangquan Sect transported from elsewhere. Therefore, you should cherish the spirit grass in your alchemy in the future. Tian Feng sighed.
"I see. Ning Chen said secretly in his heart. Then he said to Tian Feng, "Yes, the disciple obeys." ”
Tian Feng nodded, and then led him to the huge palace not far away.
There is a huge plaque hanging on the door of the main hall of this huge palace, on which are engraved the three words Lingcao Pavilion.
As soon as the two of them walked into the main hall, an old man laughed and said, "Senior Brother Tian, rare guest!"
Tian Feng's face trembled slightly, and he said to the old man with an indifferent expression, "Senior Brother Min, this is the apprentice I accepted. I asked him to help Senior Brother Min take care of the Spirit Grass Garden for a month. ”
"Senior brother, I want to congratulate you on your good apprenticeship, after all, this is a rare thing. Senior brother, if I'm not mistaken, the last time Senior Brother Tian accepted an apprentice was three years ago, right? I don't know if Senior Brother Tian's apprentice named Yang Min is still an alchemy apprentice under Senior Brother Tian?" Senior Brother Min said with a smile, and the slightest disdain in his eyes did not restrain for a moment.
Tian Feng calmed down for a moment and said lightly, "Senior Brother Min seems to be very worried about my affairs? Seeing Senior Brother Min you are so leisurely, Senior Brother, I am quite envious." ”
"Dust boy, take good care of the Spirit Grass Garden, and I will come to pick you up in a month. Senior Brother Min has always been strict, but you are just a new disciple, I believe that Senior Brother Min will not be embarrassed and harsh on you. ”
"Senior Brother Min, Senior Brother I'm right, right?"
"Hehe, Senior Brother Tian laughed. Senior Brother Min smiled wryly.
"Haha, then Senior Brother will hand over my apprentice Ning Chen to you, Senior Brother Min. Senior brother still has something to do, so I will leave!"
Tian Feng glanced at Ning Chen, nodded at him, and left the palace of Lingcao Pavilion.
After Tian Feng left, Elder Min's face sank, and he said to an inner disciple behind him, "Tong Jing, take him to the dormitory!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the side hall, without looking at Ning Chen.
"Yes. Tong Jing replied. Then he said lightly to Ning Chen, "Follow me." ”
Ning Chen followed him through the main hall, thinking secretly in his heart. "Master and this Elder Min seem to have a holiday, the two of them give people a-for-tat feeling!"
"Your name is Ning Chen, right?" Tong Jing suddenly asked him.
"Yes!" Ning Chen replied.
"Senior Brother Ning, Senior Brother advises you not to learn alchemy from Elder Tian. What can his Xuan-level alchemy teach you? Not even as good as some highly talented alchemy apprentices. And it's also notoriously withdrawn.,Cold and arrogant.,It's not good to see anyone.。 Senior brother only reminded you when he saw that you were pleasing to the eye, don't mistake yourself. Tong Jing said.
When Ning Chen heard this, the anger in his heart immediately churned. Since he has already worshiped Tian Feng as his teacher, how can he allow outsiders to slander his master?" "Hmph, my master is also your uncle! Slandering the elders behind his back is really a sinister villain's style, what kind of person teaches what kind of apprentice, I'm afraid that your master is not a good thing." ”
"You, boy. Shame on your face!" Tong Jing immediately became angry and ashamed.
"Hmph, why do I want the face of the sinister villain? It seems that you are not only a sinister villain, but also a stupid pig!"
Ning Chen chose to completely tear his face with him directly, not that he didn't know how to forbear. In fact, respecting the master is in front of the heavy road, and others have slandered his master in front of him, which is the same as scolding his family in front of him. If this requires forbearance, then he is not worthy of being an apprentice.
"You, you. Tong Jing was so angry that his body trembled, "You wait, see how I kill you." ”
When Ning Chen heard this, his eyes were gloomy and he glared at him, and said in a cold voice, "I hope you can do it!"
Tong Jing stopped talking, his face was gloomy as water, and he walked briskly in front.
After a while, the two came to the dormitory. Ning Chen knew that the so-called dormitory area was a row of wooden houses.
At this time, Tong Jing suddenly shouted. "Senior brothers, junior brothers, come and greet Uncle Tian Feng's senior apprentices. ”
As soon as he shouted, the door of a wooden house opened, and an inner disciple walked out of it.
"Senior Brother Tong, are you teasing me? What kind of high-level apprentice can Senior Uncle Tian Feng have? Just this kid, who is practicing qi at the fifth layer, is he a new inner gate?" Gu Mingcheng smiled at Tong Jing, completely sneering at Ning Chen behind him.
"Senior Brother Gu, don't underestimate Uncle Tian Feng, a senior apprentice. Uncle Tian Feng, this senior apprentice, is very short-tempered. Just now, I only tried to persuade him, and he said that I was a sinister villain. Maybe he's scolding you in his heart at this time?" Tong Jing said slowly.
Gu Mingcheng's face immediately changed, he stared at Ning Chen fiercely and said, "It turned out to be a stubborn boy! Boy, I said you are a waste, can you be convinced?"
Ning Chen frowned. He couldn't tell if this Gu Ming City was really stupid, or was he pretending to be stupid? Tong Jing was obviously sowing discord, and he couldn't tell it, "I guess it's pretending, they were originally a gang?"
"My current realm is indeed lower than yours, and I don't want to have that kind of verbal battle with you. I hope to meet you outside the sect in the future. Ning Chen said calmly.
"Hmph, that's a joke. Lao Tzu is waiting for you to come out of the sect and see how Lao Tzu twists your thin arms and legs. Gu Mingcheng looked disdainful. If it weren't for the door rules stipulating that the inner disciples could not fight each other within the scope of the sect, Ning Chen would have been directly crushed with his eighth-layer Qi cultivation realm. As for Ning Chen's master Tian Feng, he didn't worry about it. Because his master is Wang Dahai, the elder of the Lingcao Pavilion, he built the foundation of the Great Perfection Realm.
"Senior Brother Gu is not angry. It is only about three months away from the annual inner door Xiaobi. This kid is so arrogant, he will never live to the end of Xiaobi. Tong Jing said.
"Insidious villain. It's so pathetic!" Ning Chen said lightly. In his opinion, both this Tongjing and Gu Ming City are strong and weak people, and he hates this kind of person the most. When you are strong, you will be flattered, and when you are weak, you will be bullied, and you must not know that you will be in Hedong for 30 years and in Hexi for 30 years. One day the weak will become strong, and that will be their death. So he thinks it's really pathetic for people like Tongjing.
"You, very well, wait for the inner door to see how I kill you. Tong Jing let out cruel words, but there was nowhere to release the anger in his heart. Still gave Ning Chen a jade slip, turned his head and left.
"Hmph, two idiots. Gu Mingcheng said with an indifferent expression, then turned around and entered the wooden house.
"This Guming City is not simple. Ning Chen said secretly. However, he was not afraid, what about the eighth layer of Qi training? With his Jindan Great Perfection Divine Sense, once the divine sense was released to suppress it, it would be good if this Gu Ming City could exert the strength of the third or fourth layer of Qi training. Of course, he wouldn't easily release his divine sense suppression, unless it was a last resort.
