Chapter Twelve: Inviting Herbs
Seeing his complacent look, Wu Kangnian was so angry that his teeth itched. However, it was not easy to criticize him too much in public. He just kept a straight face and shouted coldly.
"Don't be so happy after getting books! When you go back in the evening, practice the new skills I taught you. I will test you tomorrow. If you are not familiar with it at all, be careful with my whip!"
Qin Yunchuan patted his chest and said loudly, "Master, don't worry. I've already memorized the Qi Condensation Returns by heart. I'm waiting for your questioning at any time. If I make even the slightest mistake, I'll be willing to be punished."
"Okay, Junior Brother Fan, it's getting late now. Let's lead our disciples and go back to rest." Wu Kangnian and Fan He said a few more words, and then they each led their disciples back to their residences.
.
Qin Yunchuan blinked at Mu Jingyu, opened his mouth slightly, and told him that he would hand over Ju Yang Jue to him at noon tomorrow, and then followed Wu Kangnian towards Shaoyang Peak.
Ever since Qin Yunchuan sent Juyang Jue to him the next day, Mu Jingyu has been deeply attracted by the way of cultivation in it.
Although Mo Yunshen began to teach him cultivation methods when he was in Wuji Ruins. However, the time was too short, and because his qualifications were really poor, all he was taught were quick methods. The purpose was to be able to enter
After Jiuhua Mountain, it’s just that the head master doesn’t look down on him too much.
Who would have expected that Mo Yunshen would be killed with a palm just to save him outside Wuji Ruins?
After entering the Shaoyang Peak Zhishou Hall, the outer sect disciples who were in the same hall had already been in the mountain for three months. Some basic cultivation methods had been learned. And Fan He could not be frightened by Mu.
Yu Renren talked about these things again.
Therefore, Mu Jingyu's cultivation has been somewhat difficult during this period of time. After all, he only knows a little about these basic things. He has no idea about more advanced things, and it is like listening to a book from heaven every day.
And this Juyang Jue describes the basic practice, which can fill in the blanks in front of him. Mu Jingyu read it for several days, and then he suddenly realized that everything was clear. Some things that he had only half understood in Zhishou Hall were all in it.
The answer was found in Juyang Jue.
This day was the day when the outer disciples of Shaoyang Peak could rest. Since they did not have to go to Zhishou Hall to listen to sermons, Mu Jingyu got up early and started to read Juyang in his room.
Jue. While watching, he was still gesticulating and practicing seriously.
There was a soft creaking sound, and the closed door was pushed open from the outside. A small figure was illuminated by a ray of sunlight and walked in from the door.
"Jingyu, you work so hard so early in the morning." After the visitor entered the room, he closed the door and then walked around the house. He saw someone sitting cross-legged by the window.
Mu Jingyu, who was practicing seriously, couldn't help but speak out.
After hearing this, Mu Jingyu stood up, closed the Juyang Jue, then rolled his eyes at the visitor and said, "If I had the talent of Brother Qin, I wouldn't have to practice so hard."
"Why, you came looking for me so early in the morning, but what's the matter?"
As Mu Jingyu spoke, he walked to the table, poured two cups of tea and handed them to Qin Yunchuan.
"Hey, hey, brother came to see you, so of course something good happened." He took the tea cup, drank the tea in one gulp, and then sat down at the table.
"In three days, we will arrive at Jiuhua Mountain. It's time to go out and relax once a month. What are your plans?"
For these outer disciples of the Jiuhua Sect, there is a happy day and a painful day every month.
This painful day is the trial mission that I just experienced a few days ago. In Shaoyang Peak, the tenth day of every month is the trial prescribed by the Jiuhua Sect. Not only those who have just entered Jiuhua
Outer disciples need to participate, and even some inner disciples have some difficult trial tasks that need to be completed.
And this happy day is on the 20th of every month, when you can follow the brothers in the sect and go to nearby towns to have fun for a day.
Although Mu Jingyu has only been in Jiuhua Mountain for a short time, he still has some understanding of these things.
Mu Jingyu replied, "Brother Qin, I have just arrived in Jiuhua Mountain not long ago, and I have never been to the nearby towns. I don't even know where there are interesting places, so what plans can I have? I think it's better to stay here."
In the mountains, I need to practice the Juyang Jue for one more day."
"Hey!" Qin Yunchuan said with a straight face, pretending to educate him, "Jingyu, how can we waste all our good time on the journey of cultivation! You don't know, there is a place not far from here.
, there is a small town named Huayang. Although it is a small town, there are many good places to eat, drink and have fun in it! How about, are you interested in taking a walk with my brother? "
Mu Jingyu had also heard of this small town in Huayang. It was the city closest to Jiuhua Mountain, and it was also the only passage connecting the steep mountains of Miszhou and Zhongyu Shengzhou. Not only were merchants gathered in the city, but also the south
There is also an endless stream of merchants coming and going from the north, making the city quite prosperous.
Disciples in Jiuhua Mountain usually go to Huayang City to purchase some items or find a place to have fun.
Mu Jingyu has only been to Yunhai City since he came out of Cangwu Mountain. On weekdays, he has heard some elders in the village mention all the prosperity in big towns. When he saw it in Yunhai City, it was beyond imagination.
It's a pity that I didn't have a lot of fun that time because I suddenly met the monsters from Yaowei Palace and the disciples of the Yun family. This time, when I heard Qin Yunchuan's invitation, I suddenly felt like having fun.
"Brother Qin, it would be great if we went to the city to have fun. But..."
As Mu Jingyu spoke, he rummaged through his pockets and said with a grimace, "It's just that I'm really short on money and can't afford any silver."
Most of the outer disciples like Mu Jingyu and others were either from poor families or, like Qin Yunchuan, were orphans and abandoned children. They usually lived in poverty, and the little money they had could only buy some clothes and sundries.
Although the Jiuhua Sect gives them some monthly money, it can only sustain their lives, so there is no money left for them to enjoy themselves!
Qin Yunchuan smiled mysteriously, pulled the bench and sat next to him, put his arm around his neck, put his mouth to Mu Jingyu's ear, and said softly, "My good brother, have you forgotten, I am the elder brother?"
You have the skill of Qihuang! As long as you can follow me to the mountains to pick some medicinal materials, and after I have prepared some elixirs for strengthening the body and bones in the past two days, and sell them in the city, I will definitely get a lot of silver.
When the time comes, are you still afraid that we don’t have enough money to have fun?”
Mu Jingyu did not answer immediately after hearing this. As far as he knew, although Jiuhua Mountain occupies a very large area and contains many rare herbs, the disciples are strictly prohibited from walking around in the mountain at will.
"Brother Qin, I wonder where you want to pick herbs. I see that there are many herbs in the forest where we cut down pine and bamboo a few days ago."
Mu Jingyu didn't know Qin Yunchuan's true thoughts, and was afraid that he would search for medicinal herbs in the other peaks. By then, instead of digging up a few herbs, they would be captured.
"Hey, to be honest, the herbs in the Yunsong Forest are all ordinary goods. The refined elixirs are really not worth much."
Qin Yunchuan said, lowering his voice again and said, "To be honest, the book of Qihuang's Technique that I got a few days ago contains several prescriptions for first-grade elixirs. When I read it, I felt itchy and wanted to refine it.
Come out with a few coins. When the time comes, take them to the city and sell them, and you may get a lot of money."
In fact, in Jiuzhou, there are not only major sects of cultivating immortals, but also many strange people of all kinds who practice the art of shielding armor. There are no less than ten kinds of alchemy, armor making, talisman painting, formation formation, etc. There are no less than ten kinds.
In Kyushu, such cultivators are uniformly called strangers.
Thinking back on when Mu Jingyu was suffering from severe poison, Mo Yunshen and Guo Qingshan struggled to find anyone with medical skills, so they had no choice but to go to Wuji Ruins, which also caused a series of consequences thereafter.
Thinking about it now, Mu Jingyu felt a bit of self-blame in his heart.
And this elixir is also divided into high and low grades along the way. For example, some elixirs used by ordinary people can basically only treat some colds and reduce swelling and pain. At most, they are powders and foams. Even in the strict sense,
It doesn't even count as the lowest level.
As for those low-grade elixirs, although they are just inferior products with a slight elixir shape, after ordinary people take them, they can also have the effect of refreshing the mind and strengthening the body and bones. The elixirs Qin Yunchuan mentioned naturally belong to this category.
It's a low-grade elixir.
Although Mu Jingyu was a child in the mountains, during this period of time, he also had some knowledge of the position of an alchemist from Mo Yunshen, Bi Yun and others.
Strictly speaking, the conditions required for those who can practice the art of refining medicine are even more stringent than those who are able to practice immortality.
As for Qin Yunchuan, he not only has excellent aptitude at such a young age, but also has such attainments in alchemy. At the age of less than ten years old, he can refine some low-grade elixirs without any teacher, which is really shocking.
Mu Jingyu asked in disbelief, "Brother Qin, can you really refine a first-class elixir?"
Although Mu Jingyu has gained some understanding of Qin Yunchuan in the past few days, and knows that he is not someone who just talks nonsense. However, he still doesn't believe that he can really refine some first-grade elixirs.
Qin Yunchuan scratched his head with a smile and said, "I haven't tried this yet. However, I think if I follow the method recorded in the book, I am 80 to 90% sure that it can be refined."
"It's just that the herbs needed for this can't be found on Shaoyang Peak. I can only find some results at the other peaks. I wonder if Jingyu would like to go with me.
." After Qin Yunchuan finished speaking, he stared at Mu Jingyu, waiting for his answer.
To be honest, Mu Jingyu was not willing to go with him to the other peaks to search for herbs. If he was discovered by the elders of the Jiuhua Sect, he would inevitably be severely punished.
However, he had received his kindness in Yunsong Forest. Wouldn't it be a bit meaningless if he refused easily?
Qin Yunchuan also knew Mu Jingyu's worries, and then said, "Oh, don't worry, Jingyu. I will search in Feilu, Songxiao, Tianluo and other peaks, and I will never go deep into the depths of Jiuhua Mountain."
of."
The three peaks of Feilu, Songxiao and Tianluo, together with Shaoyang Peak, belong to the peripheral mountains of Jiuhua Mountain. Most of the disciples of Jiuhua Sect live in these four peaks. As for the remaining peaks,
It belongs to the inner perimeter of Jiuhua Mountain. Not only is the mountain more dangerous, but it is also densely forested and filled with countless ferocious birds and beasts. Even the Jiuhua Sect only occupied a small area and built palaces and buildings.
, for the disciples to live and practice.
The leader, Tianyang Zhenren, once strictly prohibited his disciples from walking around inside. If anyone violates the rules, he will be punished according to the sect rules.
Mu Jingyu heard that Qin Yunchuan was only searching in the periphery. After pondering for a moment, he agreed, "Then, I will agree to go to the mountains to search for herbs with Brother Qin."
Before Qin Yunchuan could be happy, Mu Jingyu continued to warn, "However, we have agreed that we will only search in the four outer peaks. No matter whether we can find it or not, we cannot go inside."
Qin Yunchuan nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Jingyu. The peaks there are extremely dangerous. Even the inner disciples don't dare to enter easily, let alone us young people who have just entered the disciples! Let's find someone outside."
Look for it, no matter whether you can find it or not, I will definitely be back before dark."
