Xing Tian pretended to be innocent and said, "I don't know, I don't seem to have offended Deacon Jia!"
The old man from the medicine garden nodded, and seemed to have lost interest in talking, but said: "Today you should fetch water for irrigation first, and then pull the weeds. If you can't finish it, I will still give you a bad review!"
Xing Tian didn't say anything, but went to work. In the afternoon, Xing Tian only pulled out a small part of the weeds. If nothing else happened, he would still get a bad review today.
At this moment, Xing Tian saw the old man from the medicine garden carrying the medicine dregs from a copper stove, walked out of the house with a depressed look, and poured the medicine dregs on the ground.
Xing Tian knew that the opportunity had come, but he walked over and said to himself deliberately: "The copper furnace is sealed, and the medicine has its own properties. There seems to be something wrong with the method!"
The old man's martial arts skills were obviously not weak, but he heard Xing Tian's soliloquy, and immediately lowered his face and said: "Young boy knows nothing, how can I do this? It's not your turn to be a little brat."
Judgmental!”
Xing Tian hurriedly acted like he was panicked, and said anxiously: "Elder, don't blame me, it's a disciple who is being disrespectful and talking nonsense!"
After saying that, he pretended to go back to work, but the old man seemed to have thought of something, but he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, what did you just say, the copper furnace is sealed, and the medicine has its own properties... What do these two sentences mean?"
Also, how can you tell that there is something wrong with my technique?"
At this moment, Xing Tian behaved like a young boy who had nothing to do, and said: "That is the recipe for refining medicine handed down from my disciples' ancestors. I just saw this useless medicine dregs and couldn't help but lost my words!"
These words sounded completely like he was trying to excuse himself, but the old man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "You said this is the formula for refining medicine passed down from your ancestors, and your ancestors were alchemists?"
Xing Tian was immediately shocked, but he shook his head repeatedly, but in the eyes of the old man, it was the timid behavior of a young man who was afraid of getting into trouble. Immediately, the old man deliberately forced a smile and said: "Well... what's your name!
"
"Disciple Xingtian!"
"Well, Xingtian, don't be afraid. Let me ask you, did any of your ancestors have any alchemists?" The old man's eyes were eager.
Xingtian nodded slowly, but said that his grandfather was an alchemist, but something bad happened later, and his family was ruined, so he joined the Guashan Sect.
This is completely nonsense, but after Xing Tian thought hard all night and rounded it out, it is difficult to find the loopholes in it.
The old man from Yaoyuan asked some more questions, and then felt a little relieved. He secretly thought that there are countless grievances and hatreds in this world, and it is not unusual for an alchemist to suddenly encounter misfortune. He also thought that he had been studying the art of alchemy for more than a year, but he didn't know how to do it.
It was precisely because of the lack of guidance from an orthodox alchemist that this happened, and the young man in front of him might be able to help him.
This old man’s surname is Han, and the outer disciples all call him Elder Han. He has been taking care of this medicine garden for several years. He is old, and his cultivation has been at the early stage of acupoint opening for several years. Without the help of spiritual medicine, he would
I will never think of a breakthrough in this life.
His talent can only be regarded as ordinary. He can practice to the level of acupoint opening. It is considered good to be an elder in the outer sect of Guashan Sect. Under normal circumstances, Elder Han will accept his fate. It was just a coincidence that he got an ancient prescription.
, he was really tempted after recording a refining method called 'Rejuvenation and Longevity Pill'.
The training of a warrior is a race against time. It is the wish of every warrior to be able to practice to a higher stage when the Qi and blood are at their peak, or even reach the legendary state where one can prolong life. But in fact, in this world, there is no practice
There are more than tens of millions of martial artists, how many can truly reach that level?
What's more, "Although practice has yielded results, I am approaching old age", but the "Rejuvenation and Life Extension Pill" recorded in the ancient prescription is a strange medicine that can extend life span by thirty years. Naturally, Elder Han was tempted.
Thirty years of life, if he can really extend his life like this, Elder Han is confident that he can break through to the realm of hardness and softness. By then, he will be a martial arts master, and may even have the opportunity to enter the inner sect, channel the vitality of heaven and earth through the orifice, and learn the secrets of divine magic.
The inner gate's martial arts are so magical that once you enter the inner gate, you will reach the sky in one step.
Precisely because of this, he was afraid that others would peek into this ancient prescription, so he did not tell anyone. After thinking about it, he came up with the idea of studying the art of refining medicine and refining this strange elixir himself.
It's just that the art of refining medicine is so mysterious. Over the past year, he has repeatedly failed and dared not ask the alchemist in the sect for advice. That's why the sudden appearance of Xing Tian, a descendant of the alchemist, made Elder Han so excited.
Next, when he asked Xing Tian about the non-existent 'medicine refining formula', Xing Tian hesitated and refused to answer. In the end, he refused on the grounds that the craftsmanship was passed down from generation to generation and was not allowed to be passed on to others.
At that moment, Xing Tian felt a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of the old man in front of him, but he disappeared in an instant. Xing Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wondered if he could stay in Guashan and get rid of Xu Jiang's harassment for the time being.
This was done in one fell swoop.
Elder Han pondered for a moment and then showed a kind smile and said: "Since you come from a family of alchemists, it would be outrageous and insulting to be just a handyman disciple in Guashan Mountain. It would be better to do this. From today on
Since then, you will stay in the Medicine Garden. I am also an outer sect elder. It is not difficult for you to leave the handyman hall and become an official disciple of the inner sect. Are you willing?"
Coming!
Xing Tian sneered in his heart, but on the surface he showed a look of surprise, and even stuttered a little when he was excited: "Is it really possible? Yes, of course I am willing, thank you... thank you elder, thank you elder for cultivating me!"
"Well, my surname is Han, you can just call me Elder Han from now on!" Elder Han also laughed when he saw Xing Tian's reaction. For a handyman disciple, it is normal to react like this when he heard that he could become an official disciple.
And his plan was to keep the other party by his side, find a way to figure out the formula for refining medicine, and even train him to help him make medicine. For him, it was really difficult to control a disciple who was just in the early stage of the body tempering realm.
It's very easy.
So before the sun had set, the news that Xing Tian had become an official disciple of the outer sect reached the Hall of Assistants. Naturally, this news caused an uproar.
"Then what exactly is Xingtian's background? He actually asked Elder Han from Yaoyuan to go to the sect's disciple hall to ask for someone in person?"
In the handyman hall, Jia Gui had a puzzled look on his face, and beside him, Wang Tao was even more dumbfounded. What hatred in Wang Tao's heart was that he had been pretending to be a grandson in the handyman hall for more than half a year, but he still hadn't become a formal disciple. The punishment genius had just arrived a few days ago
Tian, has become an official disciple, which is really enviable.
"Does Xu Jiang know about this?" Jia Gui suddenly asked.
"Not yet!" Wang Tao responded hurriedly.
"Go and make an announcement and explain the situation clearly, so that Xu Jiang will not blame this account on us!" Jia Gui was thoughtful. No matter what Xingtian's origins were, the other party was obviously embracing Elder Han now.
Although Elder Han's cultivation and status are not as good as those of Elder Yu Tonghai, he is not something that a small deacon of the handyman hall can afford to offend. He naturally wants to be all-round.
The reason why Wang Tao was asked to inform Xu Jiang was because Jia Gui didn't want to cause any trouble. Even if Xu Jiang wanted to blame, he would only vent his anger on Wang Tao, which had nothing to do with Jia Gui.
…
As the sky grew dark, Xing Tian sat in a room in the medicine garden, staring at the copper stove in front of him and the blazing fire below.
This day was full of unpredictable changes. Who would have thought that he would transform from an ordinary handyman disciple to a formal disciple.
The copper furnace in front of him was obviously a tool for refining elixirs, and there was a fire around it. After becoming an official disciple of the outer sect, Elder Han gave Xingtian a prescription for the 'Body Tempering Pill' and told Xingtian to refine it first.
Several body tempering pills came out.
Xingtian knew that this was Elder Han's test. If he could refine it, everything would be fine. If he couldn't refine it, the consequences would be serious. Elder Han was not a good person. Once he knew that he had lied to him before, he pointed out that
You may not know what cruel methods you will use to deal with yourself.
Naturally, Xingtian didn't know how to refine elixirs, but Xingtian had already prepared. He only said that refining the body tempering elixir might take a whole night, and in the second half of the night, Xingtian secretly took out a few of his remaining tempering elixirs.
grains, and then throw them into the furnace.
In this way, the body tempering pill can be used to recharge the next day. However, Xingtian has fourth-grade pills in his hands. This is a bit difficult to explain, but Xingtian's plan is to deceive Elder Han first without explaining.
Say it again.
There was only Xing Tian in the room. On the wooden shelves around him, there were various kinds of herbs. There were dozens of them, including all the raw materials needed to refine the body tempering pill.
As night fell, Xing Tian began to think about the future. Although Elder Han had deceived him into promoting him to a formal disciple, even Xu Jiang could not trouble him for the time being, but the current situation did not seem optimistic.
Inadvertently, it seemed that I had jumped into trouble again.
Xing Tian still didn't know why Elder Han wanted to learn the art of refining medicine. Originally, he saw that Elder Han seemed to be worried about refining medicine, so he made up such a lie. The original intention was to let the other party not make things difficult for him, and it would be better
Some of them wanted to stay in the medicine garden to avoid the chores of the handyman hall. But they never thought that Elder Han valued him so highly, and even promoted himself from a handyman disciple to a formal disciple.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Xing Tian doesn't believe that the other party would be so kind, let alone that a young man who has expressed that he knows a little bit about the art of refining medicine will be so valued.
So, the key point is what Elder Han wants to do himself.
This matter must be of great importance to Elder Han, otherwise there would be no need for the other party to help him like this.
While thinking about it, Xingtian took some of the various materials needed from the medicine shelf according to the prescription of the Body Tempering Pill. Among them, there are more than ten kinds of precious materials such as Yang Dew Grass, Blood Flower, Iron Leaf Grass, and Blood Spot Spirit Mushroom.
Materials, this is completely Xingtian's instinct. After all, if Elder Han suddenly breaks in, he can pretend to be sorting out the medicinal materials.
Looking at the pile of herbs on the ground, Xing Tian let out a sigh of relief and took out the purple gourd, intending to take a sip of purple water to practice his boxing skills. At this moment, the purple gourd in his hand suddenly shook slightly, and a suction force suddenly gushes out from the mouth of the gourd.
, and sucked all the herbs on the ground into the gourd.
