In the early morning of the next day, Xiao He woke up to the cheerful chirping of birds. He stretched his waist vigorously, got out of bed and walked to the bedside to open the window. A dazzling ray of sunlight came in. Only then did he realize that the sky was already bright and it was almost time to arrive. It's noon.
Pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard, the Ningchun tree still exudes a delicate fragrance, which makes people intoxicated. Not far away, Xianyao walked towards Xiao He with cheerful steps.
"You're awake. I thought you were still asleep. You were exhausted yesterday." Xianyao walked up to Xiao He and said.
"I just woke up. After a night of recuperation, I'm fine." Xiao He replied with a smile, "When will you start refining the elixir?"
"Don't worry, I will help you change the dressing on your shoulder later, then have lunch and then go to the alchemy room." Xianyao said.
"My wound has basically healed. It's not a problem." Xiao He replied with a smile, a little shy.
"It's the medicine sent by my father. He specifically asked me to take it. What, are you shy?" Xianyao asked with a smirk.
Xiao He smiled again and replied: "Practitioners don't stick to trivial matters, so just do whatever you want!"
Just like that, in the room, the sun shone faintly into the room, the green trees exuded fragrance, and the fresh and cold air was at just the right temperature. Xianyao seriously changed the dressing for the man in front of her who had saved her life. For a moment , both of them had a hallucination.
The person who woke up first was Xiao He.
"Shall we go to dinner?" Xiao He asked tentatively while raising his hand to pull the clothes over his shoulders and put them on.
"Oh, okay." Xianyao's reaction was a beat slow, and then she took back her hand hanging in the air. Her face turned slightly red, and she was completely different from the cold daughter of the sect leader when she first met Xiao He.
"Lunch is ready, I'll take you there." Xianyao paused again before saying. He stood up and walked out, Xiao He followed closely behind.
After a simple lunch, Xianyao took Xiao He to the alchemy room. All the necessary items for alchemy were arranged. The respect of the disciples in the alchemy room far exceeded Xiao He's expectations. Even the sect was responsible for alchemy. All the elders came to the scene in person, and Xiao He felt flattered for a moment.
In fact, not only Xiao He felt uncomfortable, but all the disciples, including the alchemy elders, wanted to see what skills this young man who suddenly appeared had in alchemy, especially Wu Ye, the person in charge of the alchemy room, just because He was so far behind in cultivation that he did not become the fourth elder of Nihan Blessed Land, but in terms of the time he joined Nihan Blessed Land, he was on par with the three elders. Moreover, Wuye had always been obsessed with alchemy and had no desire for fame and fortune. , is still highly respected in the sect and is deeply respected by all the disciples. Now that Xiao He was invited to make elixirs, all the disciples had a mentality of waiting to see Xiao He make a fool of themselves. Only because the young sect leader had given orders, they showed a respectful attitude.
In the small alchemy room, everyone had their own concerns. Xiao He felt the very subtle atmosphere, but he didn't care.
Xianyao did not notice these things, so she ran to Wuye and introduced: "Uncle Wuye, this is Xiao He." Then she turned to Xiao He and said: "Xiao He, this is the person in charge of the sect's alchemy room, Uncle Wuye .”
Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Wu Ye still looked at Xiao He seriously and said: "The cultivation of alchemy ability is not only complicated and boring, but also extremely painful. Today's young disciples only pursue the improvement of cultivation. Very soon. Few young people are willing to spend time on alchemy. I heard that Xianyao and Bingqi both mentioned that you are quite accomplished in this area. I can see the problem with this alchemy furnace at a glance. Even the sect leader said that you are under the influence of the alchemy master. I’ve personally given you some guidance, and I’m here to learn from you today.”
Wuye's words shocked Xiao He, and he responded cautiously: "Senior is really ridiculous. The comprehension of this junior must be far different from that of the seniors. It's just because I was lucky enough to have a mentor to lead the way in the early stages of practice, so I learned a little bit, and also learned a lot. Please give me more advice, senior."
"Hey!" Wuye's voice rose, and he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be too modest. I know the sect leader's ability to recognize people. Since he praised you, it is natural that you are outstanding. I heard that this alchemy furnace is yours. The master personally blessed me, so in this case, you should start taking action now, so that all the disciples can see the world."
Wuye said this and blocked Xiao He's mouth intentionally or unintentionally. Xiao He did not say any more self-effacing words and once again carefully observed the alchemy furnace in front of him. The other disciples lined up with Wuye and Xianyao and watched carefully. Xiao He didn't say a word.
As for Xiao He, he also stood calmly in front of the alchemy furnace, without squinting his eyes. After standing so quietly for a long time, his mind was at its best. He closed his eyes, and a natural breath came from the alchemy furnace, thinking in his mind. Moving, Xiao He once again activated the natural Tao method, and with his left palm, the Xu Bamboo Cauldron, which had not been used for a long time, jumped into his hand, and the rare and rare herbs from the Nihan Blessed Land were sent into it blindly. Xiao He's magic power was steady and endless. Inputting inward, the control of the fire was without any deviation. After a while, white slurry flew into the furnace in an orderly manner.
Xiao He clasped his hands together and muttered something. Then he took out his palms and injected two green qi into the furnace. At this time, Wuye and other disciples were greatly surprised. You must know that this step of practicing fire is extremely difficult, from purifying it to pulping it. When it comes to fire training, they usually spend a whole day doing it. Looking at Xiao He again, at such a young age, he has mastered the temperature of fire to a very good level. This made Wu Ye, who was standing aside, re-examine Xiao He. In fact, when Xiao He was refining the syrup with the Xu Bamboo Cauldron, Wu Ye was He knew that the alchemy attainments of the young man in front of him were already above his own.
While his thoughts were flowing, the alchemy furnace suddenly started to vibrate violently. Xiao He frowned slightly, and beads of sweat were already seeping between his brows. His eyes were wide open, and the energy in his two palms was increased by three points.
"It's almost done!" Xiao He exclaimed. As Xiao He spoke, the furnace vibrated more violently. Before he could notify others, Wuye personally took a red medicine box made of warm jade, opened the lid and waited for Xiao He.
As soon as he opened the medicine box, Xiao He shouted: "The pill is ready!" As soon as he finished speaking, the pill furnace floated in the air for a while, the furnace lid flew up, and among the lightning and flint, Wu Ye threw the medicine box towards Xiao He, and Xiao He He caught it with his left hand, and with a snap of his fingers, three red and white pills flew into the medicine box in Xiao He's hand.
Everything returned to calm, and everyone onlookers recovered from their surprise. They all gathered around Xiao He and looked down at the three pills in the medicine box.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that a young man could refine such a pure Chixiaxue Ningdan! The heat is not bad at all, and the time it takes to make the pill is so short, it is simply unbelievable!" Wu Ye sighed.
Xiao He also smiled and said: "Senior, I have seen the elixir recipe written in the alchemy room by the young sect master before. I have adjusted the dosage of the emperor, ministers and envoys, which shortened the time to complete the elixir!"
As soon as Xiao He said these words, Wu Ye was even more surprised. You must know that the elixir recipes in the alchemy room were collected by several alchemy elders with hundreds of years of experience. They were written one by one according to the ancient law books, but they were written down by the young man in front of him. How could he not be surprised that a slight change had such a miraculous effect? Most importantly, it shows that his method of alchemy may have been wrong all along.
Xiao He saw Wu Ye's strangeness and realized that he had been a little abrupt just now. He vaguely remembered that when Taoist Tianyanzi taught him how to make alchemy, he mentioned that at the level below Dongtian, there is nothing better than the "Waitan Dharma Sutra" There is a more comprehensive alchemy book. However, at this moment, he did not dare to rashly say that his elixir recipes were all recorded in the "Waitalan Dharma Sutra" and continued: "However, there are many schools of alchemy in the world, and each family Each method must have its own advantages and disadvantages, and this junior is a little presumptuous."
Wuye shook his head, put away his previous expression, and said with a smile: "There are talented people from generation to generation. It seems that I am really old!"
"Dad!" Xiao He was about to speak, but before he could answer Wuye's words, Xianyao shouted from the side. Everyone turned around and saw that it was indeed Ling Emperor and Bingqi who walked in. All the disciples knelt on the ground. He said respectfully: "See Sect Master, Young Sect Master."
Only Wuye and Xiao He just performed a fist-cup salute.
Emperor Ling asked his disciples to stand upright, walked up to Wuye and said, "What were the elders talking about just now?"
Wuye smiled knowingly, handed the medicine box to Emperor Ling, and said, "Sect Master, please take a look."
Emperor Ling looked down, his shock still evident, and said, "It was completed in such a short time?"
"And the quality and color are top-grade!" Wuye added.
Emperor Ling looked at Xiao He again and sighed: "Sure enough, famous teachers produce great disciples, and at such a young age, I really got the true biography of Taoist Priest Tianyanzi!"
Bingqi on the side, seeing this opportunity, hesitated for a moment and was about to speak. Wuye raised his hand to stop him and said first: "Sect Master, I have an unkind request."
Emperor Ling nodded and smiled: "I know what you are going to say." After saying that, he turned to the disciples and said: "From today on, Xiao He is the alchemy elder of Nihan Blessed Land, ranked fourth in the elders' seat, and is in charge of alchemy. house!"
Wuye, Bingqi and Xianyao were all overjoyed after hearing this and were all waiting to see Xiao He's reaction.
Xiao He was particularly surprised that everything happened so quickly. In the blink of an eye, Xiao He calculated many thoughts in his mind, clasped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, Sect Master!"
As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, all the disciples bowed again and said respectfully: "I have met the alchemy elder!"
Xiao He, who had never experienced such a scene, was a little dazed for a moment. He didn't know what to say, but Xianyao on the side reminded him in a low voice: "Let them get back on their feet quickly!"
Only then did Xiao He react and said, "Everyone, please get up!"
Everyone stood up, Xiao He had not yet recovered from the sudden shock. Emperor Ling looked at Xiao He happily, but he could not tell what he was thinking in his heart. He simply explained a few more words to Bingqi, then walked away with a smile on his face.
After Emperor Ling left, Bingqi said to Wuye who was standing beside him with the same smile: "Uncle Wuye, thank you."
Wuye shook his head, smiled and said nothing, but turned to look at Xiao He and said: "From now on, this alchemy room will be handed over to you. I hope you can help Nihan Blessed Land cultivate a few more alchemy geniuses."
"Junior must do his best." Xiao He said respectfully. In his heart, he had a better impression of Wu Ye today.
"It's time for me to leave here." Wuye said with emotion.
"Uncle Wuye, where are you going?" Xianyao asked anxiously.
"I won't be refining elixirs anymore. I'll be free for the rest of my life and enjoy the mountains and rivers. How wonderful it will be!" Wu Ye's voice was old and melodious. He walked out while talking. After a few steps, he disappeared.
Everyone in the room was left feeling lost for a moment, especially Xianyao. Wuye had watched them grow up as brothers and sisters, and had always loved them. They knew in their hearts that Wuye had been obsessed with alchemy all his life, and he knew that his state of mind was not suitable for him. The position of the elder of the sect, but for many years, the disciples of the sect have already respected Wuye, who was obsessed with alchemy every day, as an elder. However, the appearance of Xiao He may have opened up a knot that Wuye has had for many years.
How can they stop people with such a psyche from making such a relieved decision?
