Chapter 184 Looking for high-grade raw materials

Do you want to eat grilled fish? Do you want to eat grilled fish? Do you want to eat grilled fish?

Ye Shuo's words kept circulating in Qi Lan's mind, "Senior brother, what time is it now, why are you grilling fish here! We are very pressed for time!"

After Qi Lan said this, his stomach began to growl uncontrollably. Moreover, Qi Lan also found that he was drooling.

"Senior brother, if you give me this fish to eat, I will forgive you for not doing your job properly." Qi Lan's eyes straightened when she looked at the grilled fish.

Ye Shuo took out an iron basin from somewhere and placed it on a few dead branches. The grilled fish was placed in the iron basin, and Ye Shuo was sprinkling cumin on it.

"But, senior brother, where did you get so many cooking utensils? Those who didn't know better thought you were having a picnic." Qi Lan no longer knew what expression to use when facing the neatly arranged soy sauce, salt, and rice vinegar in front of Ye Shuo.

, cumin powder and a series of condiments.

"Well... I always carry it with me. It's all put in my storage ring. After all, if you often wander outside and sleep in the open air, cooking utensils are the most indispensable!" Ye Shuo said and started grilling fish again.

A layer of sauce was poured on it, and the sauce seeped into the fish, evaporated by the heat, and got into Qilan's nose.

Qi Lan originally felt that he was not very hungry, but now when he smelled such a delicious fish fragrance, he felt that if he didn't eat anything, his stomach would protest, and his stomach would rebel!

"Brother, can I eat it?" Qi Lan could only see the grilled fish for a moment, and he had already forgotten about finding raw materials.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find some more Sichuan peppercorns." Ye Shuo didn't notice Qi Lan's hungry wolf-like eyes at all.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't eat spicy food." Qi Lan said and went to get the chopsticks Ye Shuo put aside.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Shuo quickly stopped Qi Lan, "Grilled fish without Sichuan peppercorns is not a complete grilled fish! Besides, I want it to participate in the competition."

"What? What kind of competition?" Qi Lan looked confused. Is it a chef competition? He suddenly knew something vaguely, but felt that it was too weird, so he asked: "Bring grilled fish to participate in the alchemist competition.

?”

"Yeah." Ye Shuo nodded solemnly.

"Oh my god!" Qi Lan jumped up immediately, "You will be beaten to death by those old judges! They must think you are teasing them! Senior brother, although I know... but, this is too...

"Qi Lan couldn't think of any adjectives to describe the shock that Ye Shuo's behavior brought to him.

Ye Shuo patted Qi Lan's shoulder and waited until Qi Lan's mood stabilized before saying, "I want to refine the grilled fish into elixirs, not just serve the grilled fish to the judges."

"Oh? This seems to make sense..." Qi Lan nodded numbly, and then suddenly came back to his senses, "How does this make sense! How do you make elixirs with grilled fish? Fish ball elixir!?"

"It doesn't matter...the host said you can do it casually." Ye Shuo spread his hands in an innocent manner.

"But this is too arbitrary..." Qi Lan looked at the grilled fish with an alluring fragrance with a resentful expression, "No matter what, I still want to eat it..."

Ye Shuo searched for a long time in the storage ring before finally finding some Sichuan peppercorns. He sprinkled the Sichuan peppercorns on the fish, and then turned the grilled fish over.

"Senior brother, in order to stop your mistake, I decided to eat your fish." Qi Lan couldn't remember how many times he swallowed his saliva.

Ye Shuo still looked calm. He took out an orb and hung it above the grilled fish. Qi Lan looked at Ye Shuo's behavior with a blank expression, "What is this for?...Wait a minute, he is absorbing the fish's energy.

fragrance?"

"Actually, because I don't know how to make medicine, I'm thinking about making elixirs out of food..." Ye Shuo's behavior was like breaking a jar.

"But!" Qi Lan didn't even know what reason to use to stop Ye Shuo. "Although the competition does not strictly stipulate what to make, what is the use of the elixir made in this way? There must be a reason to convince the judges.

!?"

"Because I have eaten and slept in the wild before. You have to know that people are like iron rice and steel, and it is not easy to eat in the wild. The dry food is so... it is difficult to swallow if you eat too much.

I have always had an idea, if there is a kind of food that can be carried as easily as an elixir, can fill people's stomach at once, and most importantly, is delicious, what an invention this would be for the benefit of mankind!!

But until now, I don’t seem to have this kind of food... So, I decided not to waste that day..." Ye Shuo showed a painful and strange expression, "I decided to do it myself with the knowledge of refining medicine that I forcibly absorbed that day! Since,

This is an elixir made from grilled fish, so let’s call it grilled fish elixir!”

"This... this..." Qi Lan listened to Ye Shuo's reasons, her mouth twitched for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Brother, as long as you are happy..."

When Ye Shuo and Qi Lan were watching the grilled fish, someone was also looking at them. That person seemed to be an ordinary alchemist, but he was not looking for raw materials as eagerly as others, but kept silently.

followed Ye Shuo.

He followed Ye Shuo to the stream, and then watched Ye Shuo start fishing, then caught a fish, and then grilled the fish... Then Qi Lan also came, and the alchemist was relatively far away from them, and there was no

After hearing what they were talking about clearly, I saw that they seemed to be surrounding a grilled fish, and I was very confused.

"It's better to go and report as soon as possible." He thought secretly in his heart. Soon, he disappeared into the forest like an erratic ghost.

"Grilled fish?" The speaker was Chong Shuyao. She was sitting on the ground with a linden flower in her hand.

Bodhi tree flower is also a second-grade medicinal material. It can relieve spasms and relieve fever without refining. It is also often used to make antidotes when refining elixirs. But for Chong Shuyao, it is best to mix it into poison.

However, the poisonous elixir containing linden flowers has antispasmodic and antipyretic effects, so even if a person is poisoned, there will be no special signs of poisoning in the early stage. When there are real signs of poisoning, it is already

The poison penetrated into the bone marrow and there was no way to save him.

Chong Shuyao fiddled with the bodhi tree flowers, "What a pity. Why can the Alchemist Competition only refine elixirs that are beneficial to practice? What a pity. Isn't poison elixir a elixir?"

"Wouldn't it be a poison-making competition? Speaking of which, it seems that there really is no poison-making competition. Why don't you hold one yourself, sister!" Chong Shuyao was next to someone who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old.

The year-old girl said with a smile.

The little girl is not very old, but she is naturally fair-skinned and beautiful. She is born with a beautiful body. She wears a simple and cute double ponytail. The clear and round eyes on her face shine with the innocence of a child, but her body is already

Moving closer to the girl, the light blue clothes outline a faint curve.

Chong Shuyao knocked her on the head, "I just thought that someone should come to participate. However, Qi Lan, and Master Yunxing's new disciple, what on earth are they doing? At this time, they actually

Grilling fish?”

The little girl tilted her head and said, "Is it because they are hungry? So they need to eat?"

"I've been thinking about eating all day!" Chong Shuyao hit her on the head again, "Don't come to see me if you can't get into the top three this time!"

"Ugh..." The little girl covered her head with great grievance, "Sister, you are trying to embarrass me! Last time I didn't even make it into the top thirty, this time, how could I make it into the top three! Also, this time

In the competition, there are you, sister, sister Lin, and brother Yunfeng. You have already secured the top three, and I can only be ranked fourth."

"Okay, I'm teasing you." Chong Shuyao touched the little girl's head, there was still a smile on her face, but her eyes suddenly turned cold, "I will definitely get the first place in this competition! Master

, I will definitely be a disciple that makes you proud!" Chong Shuyao said silently in his heart.

"Take your corn essence grass." Chong Shuyao patted the little girl on the shoulder, "It's time for us to go to the alchemy, so as not to take away our seats."

When the little girl heard this, she immediately stood up from the ground and asked, "Then, don't you need to follow those two people grilling fish anymore?"

"Grilled fish..." Chong Shuyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "No need. If you are disrupted by them, you will lose more than you gain. Instead of guessing what the other party is doing, it is better to let them show it themselves."

"Tch~~" the little girl made a face beside Chong Shuyao and complained: "Sister, who sent someone to find out the news? It's not me anyway." After saying that, she jumped away and ran away.

.Chong Shuyao was furious behind her, "Smelly girl, just wait for me!"

By the stream, Ye Shuo put half of the grilled fish into the orb, and divided the other half with Qi Lan.

Qi Lan suddenly jumped up after enjoying the meal, "I haven't found the right raw materials yet!"

Ye Shuo looked at him and gave Qi Lan the blackberries that Qi Lan had given to him before, "This one shouldn't be bad either."

"Hey, senior brother! I am also the last champion after all! Use blackberries? Your peers will laugh!" Qi Lan pouted.

"Okay, I'll help you find it!" Ye Shuo looked at Qi Lan's aggrieved look and decided to help him find the raw materials.

At this time, the sun has gradually shifted to the west. Although there are still two or three hours until it gets really dark, apart from the time for refining medicine, we also have to consider that the refining pharmacy is full and there is no medicine cauldron for refining medicine. It can be said that

Ye Shuo and the others were in a special hurry.

But even so, Qi Lan must find a fourth-grade raw material in this competition area. In Qi Lan's words, "I haven't refined elixirs with raw materials below fourth grade for a long time. I'm afraid

I'm not good at practicing martial arts, and I'm prone to failure."

For such a reason, Ye Shuo felt ashamed.

But there is still a question whether there will be fourth-grade raw materials in such an ordinary suburb.

"This is not a secret place. Where can we find so many high-grade raw materials? It's a blessing to have a third-grade raw material." Ye Shuo looked around and saw that they were all Nepeta japonica and weeping potgrass, like crows.

The high-end raw materials such as wild berries and vitex seeds have been picked almost by people. Not far away, there are also trampled to pieces of peppercorns, which must have been caused by a group of people looting them at that time.

"Senior brother..." Qi Lan called Ye Shuo faintly, which made Ye Shuo get goosebumps.

"I heard that senior brother's soul power is very powerful!" His eyes were filled with stars, "Do me a favor! Use your soul power to help me detect whether there are any caves with rich spiritual energy in this area.

?Maybe there are high-grade raw materials in it!”

"This seems to work, why didn't I think of it!?" Ye Shuo suddenly realized something, and immediately released his soul power and began to explore every corner of the competition area one by one.

Seeing Ye Shuo being so happy, Qi Lan felt a little embarrassed. After all, in his opinion, it would take a lot of soul power to detect the competition area one by one. The competition area was hundreds of miles long, which was larger than the entire city.

Tiancheng is so big that it would be tiring to detect it.

Of course, he didn't know that with Ye Shuo's soul power, detecting such an area would be a piece of cake now. When Ye Shuo could only store his energy for a while, he almost searched the entire Dingtian City in order to find out where the black market was. Now,

Ye Shuo was already at the Qi gathering level. He didn't spend much time and had already explored the entire area.

"How's it going?" Seeing Ye Shuo's expression suddenly return to normal from silence, Qi Lan looked at Ye Shuo worriedly, "Are you feeling tired?"

"We found them all!" Ye Shuo answered him.

"Found them all? Is it a nearby area?"

"It's not nearby, it's quite far away, in the valley to the north." Ye Shuo pointed into the distance.
