Chapter 122: Apprenticeship
"How can the transformation come just now?" Feng Wu spat out a pile of chicken bones, "It's not in a hurry, but I'm curious, why do we have to cross Mount Tai?"
"At first, it was just a whim, but now I think it's getting more and more interesting," Qi Tian swallowed the last bite of rice, "Do you feel that the sky here is different from the outside?"
"What do you mean?" Feng Wu looked up, and didn't feel any difference, "The sky is a little bluer here, the air is a little better, the position is high, so the sun comes out a little earlier?"
"No," Qi Tian put away the dishes and wiped the grease stains off the table, "You feel it carefully, it won't be long before you can feel it." ”
"The gods are mysterious," Feng Wu combed his wings, and the colorful feathers on his head swayed back and forth, which was very good-looking, "Just this day, you and that stupid donkey are mysterious, calm down and have not, regardless of you, I'll go to sleep!"
Qi Tian jumped on the roof as soon as he used his feet, and the roof was full of red tiles, some of which were dark because of the years of use, and some of which were newly mended, with bright colors, like a patched cloth, which did not look beautiful at all.
Qi Tian lay on the roof, his head resting on his arm, looking at the stars in the sky, "What kind of person can actually cover the way of heaven and the earth, and make this place independent? Everyone is trying their best to make money here, what do the people behind the scenes want?"
Another night passed, and Qi Tian washed up, and according to the plan set yesterday, he headed for one of the largest shops on the commercial street.
It is a three-story wooden building, with two red pillars on both sides of the door, and a huge plaque with the words "Rejuvenation Hall"!
As mortals, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable. Half of the people in Qianzhuang are mortals, and the remaining half are monks, but on the one hand, they are restricted by the rules of this place, and their physical condition is close to that of mortals, on the other hand, whether it is work or life here, it is inevitable that there will be times of injury, and "Huichun Hall" as the only pharmacy in the entire Qianzhuang, its status can be seen.
At this moment, there were two long queues in front of the Rejuvenation Hall, and this queue leader accounted for half of the commercial street, but every shop seemed to acquiesce to the behavior of the Rejuvenation Hall at this moment.
On the top floor of the Rejuvenation Hall, a man who looked to be in his fifties and was dressed in a cyan robe was holding a small weighing plate in his hand and slowly wiping it, "One hundred thousand gold! And I, my cultivation is still stagnant in the Yuan Infant Period, is it really worth it? I chose the Tao of their family and became a member of their family......
"Shopkeeper!" an old man in his sixties walked up to this person tremblingly with a jar in his hand, "This jar of apricot blossom wine was buried when you first came, and now it's been twenty years, so let's leave here with you!"
"Old Yuan," Yang Yuzhen took the jar of wine, "You say, is all this true?"
"Shopkeeper, you are about to climb to the top and gain enlightenment," Yuan Lao looked at Yang Yuzhen's eyes full of satisfaction, "It is said that if you become the big shopkeeper of my Rejuvenation Hall, there will definitely be a day when you will reach the top, and you are the fourth shopkeeper I sent away!"
"Elder Yuan, if you want to leave, I can give you this 100,000 gold-"
"Hey," Yuan Lao waved his hand, interrupting what Yang Yuzhen wanted to say, "My house is here, my son is still in the Rejuvenation Hall, I'm so old, how could I leave here?
"Then the ...... of the shopkeeper of this Rejuvenation Hall" Yang Yuzhen said halfway, in fact, there are nine people in the second treasurer, which one is not eyeing this position? Yang Yuzhen is only afraid that as soon as he leaves, Yuan Lao's current position will not be able to be kept, so how can Yuan Lao's son have the opportunity to take over this Rejuvenation Hall in the future?
"Don't worry!" Yuan Lao smiled, "You are now a fan of the authorities, which of these people is not for the sake of being able to go up in the future? Now that you go up first, with your deterrence, they will not dare to blatantly do things that are unfavorable to me, at most let me retire and go home to retire! Now that I have almost saved up my gold value, as soon as I die, this gold value will naturally belong to Xiaohu, as long as Xiaohu survives here peacefully for two years, he will also be able to go up." ”
"I'll wait for Xiaohu up there!" Yang Yuzhen said solemnly, "After a while, the Rejuvenation Hall will choose an apprentice, and I will sit in charge this time, and then I will inspire Yu Jian and go to the mountain!"
"It's okay, I'm relieved to have you in charge. Yuan Lao nodded, then turned around and walked down the stairs.
"No matter what status people are at the bottom of the mountain, they are all the same when they get here, they are just other people's chess pieces! It's just that making such chess pieces is a rare thing for many people!" Yang Yuzhen solemnly put the can of apricot blossom wine into the storage bag, "Who knows if it will be the same again?"
At this moment, Qi Tian has been queuing for three hours, and the group of people in front of him have finally passed the apprenticeship test, and there is already a long queue behind him.
"New here, right?" The man who was testing with Qi Tian looked at Qi Tian disdainfully, "Do you understand the herbs? Do you understand the symptoms? If you don't understand anything, you might as well go by yourself! You must know that if you fail the test, it can be regarded as delaying other people's time, and you have to compensate the Huichun Hall! Looking at your young age, I kindly remind you, don't make yourself a fuss if you can't eat the fox!"
"Then I will also remind you with this sentence, seeing that your steps are vain, your eyes are dark, your face is yellow, and your Yin Tang is black, I am afraid that your spleen is deficient and your breath is short, and your kidneys are not balanced!
"Spirituality is on the left, physical cultivation is on the right, mortals follow the physical cultivation and fill in the list first. Two ladies dressed in the same clothes stood in front of Qi Tian, holding a thick wad of paper products in their hands, "Anyone who answers is not allowed to fake, once the fraud is found, according to the rules of Qianzhuang, a major demerit will be recorded once, and a fine of two thousand gold!"
Qi Tian walked on the right side of the crowd, took a list from the hand of the lady, found a seat at the row of tables, took the pen on it, and filled in the name, gender, age, specialty, etc.
Only when he wrote about his age, Qi Tian paused to write, how old is he now? Judging from his appearance, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and from the time he has experienced, he is dozens of years old?
In a trance, Qi Tian wrote that he was twenty years old, and at a glance of his specialties, he wrote that he was familiar with herbal medicine.
Although the Dading of the Alchemist Alliance is still in his storage ring, but he can't use his spiritual power at all, how can he refine the pill?
After handing in the list for half an hour, and then waiting for the summons, Qi Tian followed the instructions on the wall and went up to the second floor and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in!"
Qi Tian entered the door, saw an old man is bowing his head to make tea, and the tea set in front of him is very exquisite, is a small bridge carved with the whole tree roots, the whole root carving is very exquisite, the water for washing tea bowls flows slowly along the stream, with a trace of the aftertaste of tea, and there are fields on both sides of the stream, and all kinds of melons and fruits in the countryside occasionally shake, as if the wind blows.
"You say you can identify herbs?" This old man is Yuan Lao, Yuan Lao lowered his head and fiddled with the tea, he didn't even have the same mind as Qi Tian, this time to recruit an apprentice, it can be said that the entire Qianzhuang was shaken, except for the eighty old woman and the drooping child, everyone who could come to participate came!
Yuan Lao has met nearly a thousand people who don't know about it this day, and these people have also taken advantage of the loophole of the word "deception", and they generally write "know a little about pills", but they only know the effects of some pills, and they don't know much about selling pills.
"Yes. Qi Tian nodded and didn't say much.
Yuan Lao didn't bother to say a word at this moment, he slowly and methodically dialed the tea leaves into the scalded cup little by little, and then controlled the spirit stone under the teapot to slowly boil the water.
Qi Tian stood quietly, watching Yuan Lao make a pot of tea, sniffing it for a moment, then slowly taking a small sip, and after a while, he put the teacup down.
"How many herbs do you know?, what kind?" Yuan Lao took a sip of tea and calmed down.
"There are more than 31,000 kinds of herbs, including all kinds. "Qi Tian didn't know when, and he didn't have any plans to hide it.
"What are you talking about?" Elder Yuan glanced at Qi Tian when he heard this, and he didn't want to look at it anymore, how could this person be so young, how could he recognize so many herbs? Not to mention the divine consciousness required for these things, even if he could count the essence needed for 30,000 medicinal herbs, it was definitely not something that a small family could do! Even some alchemy elders of a big family might not be able to understand so much! How could a person from a big family appear here......
"There are more than 31,000 kinds of herbs, including various uses. Qi Tian replied calmly.
"Alright, you can go. Yuan Lao waved his hand, with an impatient face, "I remember to go to the big demerit once, and I will be fined two thousand." ”
"Do you believe it?" Qi Tian did not leave as he said.
"Young people, it's good to have ideas, but you also have to cushion your own pounds. "If Yuan Lao hadn't felt that he had a good cultivation, he would have to shoot the case at this moment!
Qi Tian touched his nose, "This is indeed not easy to prove, after all, some of the 30,000 medicinal herbs are extremely rare, and some are still controlled by the family clan, and now your medicinal herbs should be less than three hundred, there is no way to prove your strength!"
"Are you saying that we are young in the Rejuvenation Hall, young man, if you can recognize all the herbs in my Rejuvenation Hall, this apprenticeship will be you!"
"I can admit it all, the apprenticeship is my ......" Qi Tian pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
