Hunters often say: they are the ones who lick the blood on the tip of the knife, exchange their lives for their lives, and exchange their own lives for the lives of demon beasts. The weapon in his hand takes the life of the demon beast, and his own life has to be forcibly pulled back from the ghost gate by relying on medicinal materials.

Of course, there is an exaggeration in this sentence, but there is no doubt that as a good hunter, weapons and medicinal materials are irreplaceable and important parts.

Le Qi looked up at a medicinal herb shop called "Medicinal Diet Zhai". This is a small shop, with no more than two square huts on the left and right. The interior of the shop is simple, and the style is the same as that of the entire market, without any superfluous items.

At a glance, dozens of earthy yellow wooden medicinal herb racks are separated by layers, on the medicinal herb shelves, a dazzling array of medicinal materials and more advanced finished medicines, plus two guys, there is no trace of superfluous things, and there is no need, this is in the refugee area, no matter how gorgeous the decoration is, few people look at it, it is better to take a few more medicines to attract people.

"I've run out of cultivation medicine, and I'm going to go into the mountain again tomorrow, so I've bought a lot of things today!" Le Qi whispered.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a guy with a smiling face. The person who came was an old man, dressed in a gray monotonous robe, with a thin figure, and a very literati scholar's temperament.

The first impression is that the old man should not be a martial artist, but an ordinary person who cannot cultivate. In fact, this kind of sales work is not very suitable for martial artists to do, not only is it time-consuming and cumbersome, but the monthly salary is also low, and martial artists with a little strength do not bother to do it.

"What do you want?" asked the old man with a smile. Unlike ordinary herb shops, this place does not recommend herbs to customers, because most of the people who come here to buy herbs are hunters who have a certain understanding of herbs. The hunters' prescriptions are different, and it is difficult for the people at the herb shop to guess their needs, so it would be more efficient to let the guests choose for themselves.

Le Qi pondered for a while, and said to the old man: "Please catch me half a catty of ten-leaf cloves and Luo Han Guo, and another catty of blood clotting grass, purple flower nine-tails, and overlord fruit each." ”

"Okay, please wait!"

When the old man heard this, he immediately realized that this should be a medicinal material used to save his life during daily cultivation and hunting. After decades of medicine, the old man still has this eyesight. It's just that the young man in front of him looks like he is no more than twenty years old, and it is rare for him to become a hunter at such a young age!

Although I think a lot in my heart, the old man's hand speed is not slow at all, some old hands grasp the medicinal materials very quickly, one grasp a quasi, basically to grab half a catty, never more than half a penny, three or two, has been wrapped in several large bags of medicinal materials.

The old man's withered hand handed over a few packets of medicinal herbs, and said with a smile: "Okay, all your needs are here." ”

Le Qi took the medicinal herbs, glanced at them with his spare eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Thank you, old man!" After paying dozens of gold coins, he hooked a few packets of medicinal herbs with his fingers, and turned to leave.

As the old man guessed, these packets of things, large and small, were the medicinal materials he used to prepare for daily cultivation and hunting to save his life. are all common and not expensive.

After all, these years have not been in vain, and it is not a problem to configure a few basic medicines.

But to say that he is an alchemist? Thinking of this, Le Qi couldn't help but smile, although he is usually quite shameless, but he is really not so thick! You must know that in the entire Xuanxu Continent, an alchemist is a noble profession, and it is not something that a cat or dog can be if he wants to.

A low-level alchemist is not too harsh, and it is not too difficult to configure some low-level potions, as long as there is an alchemist mentor who tirelessly teaches, has money to support, and keeps practicing, then almost everyone can become an alchemist.

But this kind of person can only be called a low-level alchemist, a low-level alchemist, and this title is quite polite. To put it mildly, in the alchemy world, the vast majority of alchemists do not recognize this group of people as alchemists at all, preferring to call them pharmacists. There is no other reason than because they simply cannot make a higher level of medicine: the elixir.

Pill, a kind of medicine that uses the crystal nucleus of demon beasts to provide energy, and various precious medicinal materials are supplemented by blocking and neutralizing energy.

In the alchemy world, only those who can refine the finished pill are recognized by them as a qualified alchemist. However, refining pills can not be said to be less demanding, although Le Qi does not know much about the specific methods and requirements of refining pills, but it is not difficult to imagine.

Minimum requirements: strong soul control required to control materials, soul perception ability to observe the various changes that occur during the refining process of the elixir, and strong Xuan Qi support. If you want to become a high-level alchemist, then a powerful fire attribute Xuan Qi is even more indispensable. Because, ordinary flames can't be enough to refine medicinal materials, especially many high-grade medicinal materials, which are born with a strong protective layer, and ordinary flames can't break through the outermost protective layer at all, let alone extract essence.

All of the above constraints have screened out a large number of people, because, on average, only about one-sixth of the martial artists are fire-attribute Xuanqi. And the attributes of people's Xuan Qi are basically impossible to choose by themselves, and from the moment they are born, the attributes of the martial artist's Xuan Qi have been determined and cannot be changed.

Of course, the probability of one in six is not small, and among ten people, there are one or two. And the soul talent is strong, and it is not rare, one or two out of a hundred, there are always some. Indeed, martial artists who meet the above conditions one by one do have a chance to become an excellent fire attribute alchemist.

But be warned: they can only become a fire alchemist!

To put it simply, a fire-attribute alchemist is an alchemist who can only refine fire-attribute or non-attributed elixirs. As for other attributes, such as thunder-attribute elixirs or water-attribute elixirs, there is nothing they can do.

For example, if you want to refine an earth-attribute pill, the alchemist's Xuanqi needs to have an attribute that can affinity with the earth-attribute, which is simply put, the earth-attribute.

The fire attribute is very easy to do, and about one-sixth of the people have the fire attribute Xuanqi. But add one more attribute to this, or even two properties -- one-sixth squared -- thirty-sixth? Sorry, the probability of superposition of two attributes is not calculated in this way. In fact, the probability of dual attributes is much smaller than this, although martial artists with dual attributes of Xuan Qi attribute cannot be said to be rare, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the probability of one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, is normal. What if one of them is needed to be a fire attribute?

As for Le Qi, he still has a deep understanding of himself, and Xuan Qi doesn't even have the most basic fire attributes, let alone dual attributes. If there is anything that meets the requirements of an alchemist, at best, it is better to be a soul perceiver, and there can be no more! He would not dare to hope that he would be able to become an alchemist one day in his life. There is nothing to regret, people are content and happy, and the current life is not very bad.

No longer dreaming, Le Qi walked out of the market with medicinal herbs and whistled all the way home.

When I came to the kitchen stove, I randomly stuffed a few clumps of fire-started hay under the bottom, picked up a fire fold from the side, opened the cover and approached the hay, blew it a few times, and gradually sparks came out, and soon lit it, and there was a heat wave......

Pour a certain amount of water into a special medicine pot, boil it, add an appropriate amount of herbs according to the requirements of the prescription, and boil it slowly......

Two hours had passed, all the potions had been boiled, and counting the few bottles of translucent potions placed in front of him, Le Qi was satisfied with the results of his long-term work. Two vials of green liquid elixir for daily cultivation, one vial of blood-red paste elixir for rapid blood clotting, and two vials of purple elixir for rapid recovery of Xuan Qi. Quickly stuff the latter two potions tightly into the corresponding slot of a vest, and tomorrow, you will wear this vest to hunt.

The Cheetah Assault Regiment where Le Qi belongs generally goes into the mountains to hunt once every ten days, about three times a month. Each hunt starts from the town and ends with the return to the town, and a complete hunting process takes about two to three days. After all, although Qingshan Town was built next to the mountains, it could never be built in a place where monsters often haunted, it would be too dangerous.

Therefore, the town is far away from the hunting place, and the monster beasts are different from wild beasts such as wild boars and bison, and in general, the former will be active in the deeper parts of the mountains. They are very fierce and very lethal, if they are high-level demon beasts, not only are they extremely strong in their bodies, but they can also launch Xuan Qi attacks, and the intensity of their attacks is extraordinary, which has made countless hunting groups suffer. And this is also the reason why hunters need to hunt in groups.

The bright moon rose and set slowly in the night sky, and the night was calm.

Early in the morning, Leqi put on a hunting vest and carried two steel guns wrapped in gray cloth behind him, and arrived at the meeting place on time, a dark green meadow.

This meadow is close to the mountains, so every time the assault group goes into the mountains to hunt, they will concentrate here and set out. When the Cheetah Regiment was first created, there were twenty people in total, but after countless hunts, it was inevitable that there would be injuries and deaths, and at the same time there were personnel replenishment, and at present, the Cheetah Assault Regiment has a total of 15 people.

At a certain distance, Le Qi glanced lightly in the direction of the meadow, slightly surprised. At this moment, there were already a dozen people standing on the grass, among them there were four young people, two men and two women, they were not members of the assault regiment, but they were the children of the commander of the assault regiment and several other members.

Scratching his head, Le Qi felt that this hunt should be a little different.

The sound of "rustling" when stepping on the grass was not loud, but it still clearly and accurately reached the ears of the group of veteran fritters, and a few people turned their heads and saw Le Qi pacing.

In the crowd, a sturdy middle-aged man saw the arrival of Le Qi, immediately took two steps forward, habitually touched the dense beard on his chin, and laughed heartily: "Haha! You kid is still so punctual! Not a single point is bad!"

Hearing this, Le Qi also smiled. Then the other members nodded to each other.

Le Qi's eyes swept over a few young people, and said to Captain Kazan with a smile: "Hehe! Commander, it seems that this hunt is a little different from the past!"

Captain Kazan stretched his eyebrows, nodded with a smile, and laughed when he heard it: "Hehe! Let a few young people come out to see the dangers of the world, they need to be aggressive, and they can't always hide at home!"

Le Qi also smiled in agreement, turned around and talked with the other old guys, not paying too much attention to it.

But Le Qi doesn't care, but some people care very much. These few words fell into the ears of the four young people, but the taste changed, for a while, the face was not very good-looking, what do the regiment commanders mean by this? A few of our young people are not strong enough, so we can only meet the world behind other people's butts?

It is true that there is a big gap between myself and others and my parents, but do we still have to follow behind our peers?

But after all, Le Qi is an official member of the assault group, and they are not convinced in their hearts, but it is difficult to refute them in their mouths. But I always hold it in my heart, and I inevitably feel unbalanced when I think too much, and I think that I have to find an opportunity to show myself in front of my parents, which is no worse than happiness.

The four of them discussed, sent a young man out, glanced at Le Qi with a sly face, and said with a smile: "Hehe! This is Brother Le Qi." I've heard that you're about the same age as us, so I wonder what your strength is, and how did you get into the commando?"

Another woman also stepped closer and said with a smile: "Hehe, how else can you get in? It can't be by luck, right?"

Without waiting for Le Qi to explain, another man picked up again and said mockingly to the previous youth: "Haha, Wu Gang, you kid also want to enter? Then you have to have the luck of Brother Le Qi, or you have this strength?"

Several people sang and harmonized, interlocking, and seemed to be talking happily with themselves and were very familiar, but Le Qi could clearly hear that several young people were just saying that they were lucky and could enter the assault regiment without relying on their strength, in short, they were not convinced that their peers could enter the assault regiment.

A young man who has not experienced much wind and rain is normal for him to be a little young, he doesn't plan to argue with a few people, the road under his feet is not fought for by his mouth. So the ridicule of a few people only smiled, and did not intend to explain anything.

And when a few people saw Le Qi's tepid reaction, they were even more convinced that Le Qi really didn't have any strength, that is, he was just a guy who was lucky enough to join the commando. I feel disdainful in my heart.
