After asking around for a long time, we came to the northeast corner of Lingyao Mountain, a very inconspicuous small canyon.
The small canyon is blocked by a very tall iron fence. There are evil mastiffs patrolling inside. There are a few small words on the door plate, "Zhang's Medicine Garden"
Ye Xing did not dare to approach, but shouted, "Is Pharmacist Zhang here? Is Pharmacist Zhang here? Someone wants to see him."
After a while, an old man with a delicate face and bright eyes, but very lazy, came out and asked through the fence, "What do you want?"
Ye Xing knew that such people could not be moved by profit, so he directly took out a jade bottle containing a fifth-grade Qi Gathering Pill, walked over and handed it to the old man through the fence, and said, "Please ask Pharmacist Zhang, this Can the elixir be refined?"
The old man looked at Ye Xing disapprovingly, but he still took the jade bottle and looked at it carefully for a while. His face became a little solemn, then he opened the jade bottle and poured out a Qi Gathering Pill. The old man scraped it gently with his fingernail, put it in his nose and smelled it, and then licked it with his finger and tongue.
The old man closed his eyes for a while before opening them, and said softly, "This is the legendary ancient elixir of spiritual cultivation! I don't have a prescription, so I can't make it!" He put the pills back into the jade bottle and closed the lid, but did not hand it over. Return to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing said softly, "Mr. Zhang, I have a prescription, can you make it?" The old man was surprised at first, then shook his head silently.
Ye Xing asked, "Is it really not possible?"
The old man shook his head, "This is a very high-grade elixir, and I'm not sure about it! This is a newly made elixir. You should find this alchemist!"
Ye Xing said, "That man passed away two years ago, but he left the prescription to me, but I can't understand it."
The old man said, "You want me to refine it?"
Ye Xing nodded, "Yes, as long as you can refine it, I will give you the pill recipe!"
The old man invited Ye Xing into his medicine garden, closed the iron door, and then asked Ye Xing about his origins.
Ye Xing said, "My name is Ye Qi, and I come from the country of Yue! I once met an old gentleman and worshiped him as my teacher for three years, learning how to make medicine. I got old two years ago, and this is the elixir he refined."
Ye Xing said again, "I came here to study. I have been in Yunchuan City for a year, and there are no famous teachers. And I can't understand the words on this prescription." After speaking, he took out a prescription written in ancient characters. Ye Xing copied it before setting off, and then made the old one.
The old man took it and carefully checked the paper for a long time, and finally confirmed that it was an ancient book. Of course, Ye Xing's powerful observation ability couldn't tell the difference, and the old man definitely couldn't tell the difference either.
The old man opened the ancient book and found only one recipe. He could not understand all the ancient characters, but he could understand the translations of ancient characters from previous dynasties.
The old man studied for a long time and said, "I only know a few ancient characters in the front. I know the ancient characters in the back. But I have to spend time analyzing it. You, yes, Ye Qi, you can stay here first."
Pointing to a small wooden house, "There is everything inside, you can do it yourself. You also try not to go out. By the way, don't touch the medicinal materials in my garden, they are protected by formations."
After the old man finished speaking, he did not return the ancient prescription to Ye Xing, but handed back the jade bottle.
Ye Xing said hesitantly, "I gave you the prescription, but you didn't refine it, so... that's not..."
The old man stared at Ye Xing for a while and then said, "Well, I have a lot of medical books, medicine books, and ancient books. If you can understand it, just read it. It's an exchange, and you can ask me. But if I refine the elixir, I Take half!"
Ye Xing said, "Okay! That's it!"
Ye Xing cooked every day, and then read and copied ancient books in the old man's study. As expected, there were hundreds of ancient medical books, with annotations in some places, and medical records written by the old man himself.
The old man stared at Ye Xing for two days. Later, he found that Ye Xing was reading and copying books in the study, so he stopped paying attention.
During this period, Ye Xing went out several times, mainly to buy paper, pens and meat.
For more than ten days in a row, Ye Xing had copied hundreds of books in the old man's collection, and whenever he copied any errors, he would directly correct them himself.
The old man secretly looked through Ye Xing's manuscript and was immediately stunned. Not only was the handwriting small, but the handwriting was also very good. The most important thing was that he had also revised a lot of what he had written.
Asked why Ye Xing directly revised many of his medical records and annotations, Ye Xing explained that he had studied many medical records as a teacher before, some of which he already knew.
The old man immediately tested it, and found that Ye Xing was really a talent, with extremely profound medical knowledge, but he did not understand ancient Chinese at all, but his other medical knowledge and abilities were excellent.
Ye Xing cooks delicious food every day, and the old man devotes himself to studying ancient recipes. Ye Xing does everything in life, and he feels that he has a good assistant.
So he asked Ye Xing to join him in studying ancient prescriptions. He taught Ye Xing what he wrote three days ago, and then they analyzed and tested the prescriptions together.
Ye Xing always made good suggestions and avoided many detours.
In fact, this ancient recipe was developed by Ye Xing himself. You can just practice it as it is, but the old man still conducted strict analysis and testing.
Ten days later, the trial began. There was an earth fire and a medicine cauldron protected by formations, which Ye Xing did not know how to do.
After two failed attempts, the third time, under the protection of Ye Xing's secret Qi, he successfully refined 18 pieces of fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pills.
After trying one pill, the old man was very sure, saying that it was only lower than the fifth grade, but it was definitely a Qi Gathering Pill.
He was extremely excited, and after trying it out, his body seemed to be in a state of rejuvenation. The most important thing was that there were direct signs of breakthroughs in his internal strength.
The old man stared at Ye Xing for a long time and said, "Ye Qi, would you like to stay with me for three years? I will manage the medicine garden for you and guide you in refining medicine."
Ye Xing hesitated and said, "I am from Yue country. I have been out for a long time. I will go home in a while!"
The old man said, "I don't want to accept a disciple, but it takes too much time to manage the medicine garden. You can take care of it for me for a while. Don't worry, I will teach you everything I have learned, including medical skills, medicine refining, formations, and All the ancient writings have been passed down to you, just think of it as an exchange."
Ye Xing groaned in embarrassment for a long time and said, "I have to go back in half a year at most. There is no one to take care of my mother at home!"
The old man said, "Okay! The methods of cultivating medicinal materials and formations will be passed on to you first, and those ancient books will also be passed on to you!"
For the next ten days, the old man took Ye Xing to learn cultivation techniques every day, teaching ancient characters and the basics of formations. He also gave Ye Xing several books written by him to learn from.
Ye Xing mobilized the formations in the medicine garden, then went in to clean and water the medicinal materials, strictly following the old man's method and order, which made the old man extremely satisfied.
The old man said to Ye Xing before retreating, "I have arranged formations throughout the canyon. Don't go out before I leave the retreat!"
Looking at Ye Xing's back, there was a sneer on the old man's face. He had obtained this Qi Gathering Pill for cultivation, which gave him full confidence to enter the Qi refining period and become an immortal cultivator;
The cultivation method that I got in the early years can be used to get started. For decades, I just couldn't pass the level of gathering the essence, energy, spirit and blood into a point.
As long as you pass the stage of gathering gods and becoming a palace, you will become an immortal in the future. The old crepe-skinned face is cracked, but when you smile, it is a bit cold.
He knew the Qi Gathering Pill formula was real as soon as he tried it, and now he has refined 18 pills. It was really an opportunity given by God.
In just ten days and a half, he will definitely become a cultivator of immortality. Well, then it is better not to keep this person.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ye Xing had already noticed his affairs in the first few days. His every move was under the surveillance of his divine consciousness, and his thoughts were completely clear to him.
And Ye Xing came here to learn formations and obtain medicinal materials.
Ye Xing enveloped the entire valley with his spiritual consciousness. The old man named Zhang was in a cave in the valley, adjusting his breath.
Put all the books in the study into the space ring, and then Ye Xing went to the bedroom of the old man surnamed Zhang, and put all the ancient books and medicinal materials hidden in the secret room under the bed, including the elixir given by Ye Xing. Enter the space ring.
Arriving at the alchemy room, Ye Xing took away the ancient medicine cauldron, along with all the jade bottles and hundreds of bottles of various finished elixirs.
Ye Xing came to the formation to protect the medicine garden again and took away all the medicinal materials inside, even the seedlings.
After studying for three days, Ye Xing cracked the formation in the valley and came outside the cave where Old Man Zhang retreated. The cave was also protected by the formation. It only took half a day to crack it. He opened the stone door of the cave and looked at it with a smile and an angry look. The old man's breath was interrupted and he couldn't move.
Ye Xing smiled and said, "You plot against me, and I will plot against you, so don't think too much!"
He collected all the items around the old man surnamed Zhang, then swung a silver needle and broke his Dantian, causing the old man to scream miserably.
Ye Xing smiled, turned around and flew out, disappearing without a trace.
The old man surnamed Zhang and his party couldn't stop crying. Indeed, he plotted against the other party first and poisoned the water on the first day. Everything was retribution.
When you plot against others, you end up being plotted against, and everything comes to nothing in the end.
