On the rugged mountain trail, a man and a woman are slowly walking forward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the slope of the mountain, Zhao Gongming, who was lagging behind, could see a pair of long legs and a huge medicine basket in front of him as long as he raised his head slightly.

The medicine duo entered the mountain early in the morning, and now the sun is gradually climbing into the middle of the sky, and the pharmacy apprentice, who has almost never entered the mountain, has already felt that his legs are as heavy as lead, and Zhao Gongming can't help but sigh that this body is really lacking exercise.

The lark who carried the medicine basket and medicine collection tools in front of him was obviously much more important than the pseudo-medicine picker who only had a medicine shovel and a half-full water bladder on his waist, but that brisk pace told Zhao Gongming that these were just a piece of cake at the moment.

The girl who was walking in front of her seemed to hear the gradually heavy wheezing sound coming from behind her, and turned her head to reveal a smug smile.

"Xiao Mingzi, do you want to rest before leaving?"

Since entering the mountain, the lark relied on himself to be a few years older than Zhao Gongming, so he took it upon himself to change his title from "little guy" to "little Mingzi".

The sensitive name of "Little X", which is similar to his previous life, made Zhao Gongming very angry, but Skylark blocked him back in a few words.

"Sister, I always eat a few more years of rice than you, can you still wronged you Xiao Mingzi?"

"If I don't call you Xiao Mingzi, can I call you Xiao Gongzi, even if I can call you, won't you be ashamed?"

"Everyone in the town knows that you are a Zhao character, and it has nothing to do with the Zhao family, otherwise the Zhao family can let you stay in the Qian family's pharmacy for so many years?"

So Zhao Gongming had to recognize the title, and Skylark won the first victory.

The Tiandu Mountains are lush with vegetation and birds and beasts, even if this mountain forest has been opened up by Caoxu Town for hundreds of years, it is still a reckless sky in sight.

All kinds of strange roars in the dense jungle not only made Zhao Gongming, who was entering the mountain for the first time, feel the vigorous vitality in the mountain, but also made him can't help but clench the medicine shovel on his waist.

Speaking of this medicine shovel, it was the night before entering the mountain, Qian Chuan specially handed it to his apprentice.

According to Qian Chuan, this shovel, which looks very similar to the medicine collection tool, was obtained from the scattered cultivation inheritance together with the Rejuvenation Decision, and it was a magic weapon that was originally paired with the Rejuvenation Decision.

Although it is a magic weapon, it does not belong to the kind of magic weapon used in battle, and Qian Chuan had no choice but to use this shovel-shaped magic weapon to fight with the pursuers when he was on the way to flee that year.

As a result, although the body of this magic weapon was not completely destroyed, the original formation patterns on the magic weapon were completely shattered, and finally it became a waste weapon.

Although this is already a waste weapon for cultivators, its own material is not comparable to the tools used by ordinary people.

If it is said that cutting gold and breaking jade may be an exaggeration, but breaking stones and wood can barely be done, so for a novice like Zhao Gongming, who has just embarked on the path of cultivation, it is not a suitable talisman device.

After all, before entering the innate world, even if he put an intact magic weapon in front of Zhao Gongming, it would be impossible for him to drive it, and the actual use of this waste weapon for Zhao Gongming was greater.

Therefore, Qian Chuan also prepared such a thing for his apprentice after careful consideration, and Zhao Gongming could only accept such a shovel that could barely be regarded as a divine weapon for ordinary people without any choice.

The original name of this magic weapon, even Qian Chuan, who received the inheritance, is not clear, maybe the loose cultivator who left the inheritance did not care about this magic weapon at the beginning, so he did not explain the name of the magic weapon in the inheritance, but only said that this shovel was used in conjunction with the rejuvenation duel.

Qian Chuan, who had cultivated the Rejuvenation Decision, never found the connection between the two after the shovel-shaped magic weapon became a waste weapon.

After taking off the water bladder and taking a sip, Zhao Gongming found that the remaining water in the water bladder was less than one-fifth, so he replied weakly: "The water is almost gone, find a mountain spring to rest again." ”

The lark shook his water bladder, looked up at the sky again, and then said, "It's not yet noon, Xiao Mingzi, you are about to drink all the water, but fortunately, my sister I know that there is a spring nearby." ”

Yanbi Skylark deviated slightly from the direction of progress, walking towards a slightly sparse forest, Zhao Gongming hurriedly followed, for fear of losing the path.

For Zhao Gongming, who is entering the mountain for the first time, getting lost in the mountains is a very dangerous thing.

Zhao Gongming, who followed closely behind the lark, after passing through a mountain forest, saw that the eyes suddenly opened up, a mountain cliff stood in front of him, and the cliff wall could not see half of the climbing vines, and the sun shone on the bare reddish-brown mountain rocks, reflecting bursts of light.

From a crack in the mountain wall near the bottom of the cliff, a thin stream of water was flowing happily, splashing on the rocks with a crisp sound.

The lark was already standing under the spring, reached out and took a handful, and put it in his mouth.

"Xiao Mingzi, come and taste it, this water is so sweet, you can't drink such good water in the town. The lark greeted Zhao Gongming.

The water used by the Qian family's pharmacy every day is from the well water in the backyard, although it is not sweet, but in the hot summer, it is also cool.

Qian Chuan once said that he was refining the Qiling Pill, lamenting that there was no high-quality water, and if only well water was used, it would inevitably affect the quality of the Chengdan.

The method of water refining is based on the spiritual spring, followed by the perennial ice and snow essence on the top of the mountain, and the spring water in the mountain again, similar to the underground water veins of well water, which is even more so below.

For now, of course, Lingquan doesn't need to think about it, the known provenance of this kind of thing is almost controlled by the major sects, and even if there is an occasional omission, it is mostly in the hidden places that have not yet appeared, and it is easy to find.

The perennial ice and snow on the top of the mountain naturally exist in the Tiandu Mountains, but to climb the peaks of the Tiandu Mountains with ice and snow, with Zhao Gongming's current strength, he can only give his life in vain.

In the end, I had to choose the spring water in the mountains, which is better than the well water in my own shop.

Therefore, this trip to the mountains of Zhao Gongming, in addition to ambergris, there is also the task of finding spring water in the mountains.

Even if it is a mountain spring, there is a high and low level, and Qian Chuan certainly hopes that his apprentice can find a mountain spring of better quality.

When Qian Chuan taught Zhao Gongming the common sense of cultivation, he gave a general introduction to the alchemy method in the cultivation world, and the alchemy of monks is generally divided into two major schools: one is fire refining and the other is water refining.

The method of fire refining is used to refine the pill of gold and stone, and the method of water refining is used to refine the pill of plants and trees.

Qian Chuan once said that the method of fire refining is used to refine the pill of gold and stone, because the material of gold and stone can only be refined with the power of fire, and its essence can be removed from its dross.

However, the raw materials used in the Pill of Plants and Trees cannot withstand the power of fire, and the most likely thing is that they will be wiped out in the fire, so the Pill of Plants and Trees can only use the method of water refining.

As for the Golden Stone Pill, I'm afraid that even in the Five Elements Sect, the Water Spirit Island, which is famous for its water practice exercises, does not have a water refining method to refine the materials of the gold and stone.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and there may be powerful people in the world who can use fire to refine the pill of plants and trees, and water to refine the pill of gold and stone.

But for the vast majority of cultivators, fire refining stones, water refining plants and trees, this is the common sense they know.

When Qian Chuan was in Middle-earth, he could be regarded as well-informed, but he had never seen the Pill of Plants and Trees refined by the fire method, let alone the Pill of gold and stone refined by the water method.

Compared with the pill of plants and trees, the medicinal power contained in the pill of gold and stone is more violent, and the requirements for the user are higher, and there are many special ways to take it.

Even if a monk wants to take this elixir, he must have a certain foundation of cultivation, otherwise it will seriously damage the body of the person taking it, and even worry about his life.

The requirements of the Pill of Plants and Trees for the taker are not so strict, because the medicinal power of the Pill of Plants and Trees is milder than that of the Pill of Gold and Stone, and the stimulation of the body of the user is not so strong, and it is even better than the Pill of Gold and Stone in terms of the absorption of medicinal power.

In the cultivation world, most of the elixirs that the monks could access were the pills of plants and trees, and the method of water refining naturally became the mainstream of the alchemy method.

Even the Huitian Pavilion, which is famous for its pills in the cultivation world, sells pills mainly based on the pills of plants and trees, and even if there are pills of gold and stone, they are specially customized by a very small number of customers.
