Qing Yi looked at Qing Shui's inappropriate words but smiled with satisfaction. Her son was her only sustenance, and she was his support. Qing Yi looked at her son and was thinking about him, "My son's martial arts aptitude is not good.
It will be difficult to achieve success in martial arts in the future, but it is much better than not being able to practice martial arts when I was a child. This is already a great gift."
"Be content, this happiness is hard-won." Qing Yi's smile warms people's hearts like sunshine.
Qing Shui has always been worried about not being able to break through. After all, it has been five years since he used the ancient body-building technique from thirty-six weeks to now forty-eight weeks, but Qing Shui knows that with his current level of cultivation, there is too much difference, even in Baili City.
Thousands of miles away, there is no place of its own.
You must become stronger no matter what. Only with strong strength can you protect yourself and others. Qing Shui's beautiful and clear eyes looked at Qing Yi happily and told himself in his heart, "Even if you are an enemy to anyone, you can't let your mother suffer a little injustice."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't broken through to the fourth level. Don't be discouraged. When you grow up, my mother will teach you how to do business. If you are smart, you will be a rich man in the future." Qing Yi's calm tone was calm. She was afraid that Qing Shui would hear if she was better than him.
He also cares about his martial arts training, otherwise he will blame himself, feel guilty and be very painful.
If her son is always in pain, how can she be happy? Although her dream may not come true, living a peaceful and peaceful life is not a blessing.
Qing Shui smiled, Qing Shui knew that the fourth level mentioned by Qing Yi was the fourth level of Qinglian Martial Arts.
He knew his own problems well. He didn't want to dare to live an ordinary life like this. Seeing his mother speak carefully for fear of hurting his self-esteem, he felt that it was inappropriate to hide it from her like this, but how could he tell her, and what about himself?
The secret must be kept in the stomach, and no one can tell it, because that will only cause trouble.
"But I have to let my mother know my ability, and I have to let her know slowly." Qing Shui thought about how to explain in detail.
"Mother, why did the Situ family in Baili City come to see grandpa this time?" Although Qing Shui didn't ask his grandpa, he could ask his mother. Qing Yi had hid almost nothing from him in the past few years, but there was one thing.
He kept it secret from Qing Shui, but Qing Shui knew for sure that he could understand other people's speech in just a few months.
"I'm still thinking about the few thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum we just got." Qing Yi sighed a little helplessly.
Qing Shui's heart skipped a beat when he heard about the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. After all, it was very difficult to find ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that were hundreds of years old in the previous life. I didn't expect to finally hear about the thousand-year-old elixir today.
In the Kyushu Continent, Qing Shui knew that in a medicine shop, even in Qingjiazhuang, you could buy some medicinal materials that were a hundred years old. Sometimes, if a hunter was lucky, he could pick medicinal materials that were more than two hundred years old.
"Mom, are there a shortage of medicinal materials that are over a thousand years old?" Qing Shui asked when he saw Qing Yi looking distressed.
"A hundred years, or even eight hundred years, as long as there is no thousand years, they are ordinary herbs. Only after a thousand years or more can they become precious herbs. Although the difference between precious herbs and ordinary herbs is only one level, it is a world of difference. Like many alchemists refining
When it comes to improving cultivation, increasing longevity and other precious elixirs, precious medicinal materials are indispensable, and a year off is not enough." Qing Yi may have thought about it when he said this, and smiled and told Qing Shui about the medicinal materials.
Knowledge.
"Precious medicinal materials? Ordinary medicinal materials? Is it calculated by year? What about medicinal materials that are more than a thousand years old or even ten thousand years old?" Qing Shui asked, thinking about the important issue of the age of medicinal materials. After all, his mother is in the medicinal materials business and should know a lot. Yes, otherwise buying and selling medicinal materials would be a problem.
"Medical materials and elixirs are divided into grades, which are ordinary, rare, jade, king, imperial, imperial, holy, and divine."
Qing Yi said before Qing Shui could speak and continued: "In addition to the precious differences in varieties, the grade of medicinal materials is based on the year. Common ones refer to herbs that are within a thousand years, but there is still a big difference between the value of a hundred years and nine hundred years. It is precious, three thousand years is considered jade, five thousand years is king's, seven thousand is emperor's, eight thousand is emperor's, nine thousand is holy, only precious medicinal materials that are said to be tens of thousands of years old are considered divine.
"Why are you interested in medicinal materials?" Qing Yi looked at Qing Shui with a smile. He was very satisfied with his son Qing Yi. He was considerate and extremely intelligent.
"Who doesn't like good things? Mother also likes those rare and precious herbs, right?" Qing Shui looked at his mother who was teasing him a little and said in a funny way.
"Actually, there is no use for us to obtain precious or even better medicinal materials. Apart from selling them for a big price or asking an alchemist to exchange for elixirs, of course they are not exchanges of equal value." Qing Yi, the alchemist, seemed to be nostalgic when he mentioned it.
Qing Shui knew that his mother was thinking of unhappy things in the past, but he didn't ask.
"Can't those precious medicinal materials be taken directly?" Qing Shui knew that in his previous life, there were people who had eaten ginseng for hundreds of years.
Qing Yi patted Qing Shui's head and said with a smile: "Many ordinary medicinal herbs can be taken directly as long as they are slightly processed. Of course, the potency that can be absorbed is only one-tenth or two-tenths. Most of the medicinal potency will be lost and excreted from the body. Of course, there are a few exceptions. , but even ordinary herbs that are more than 500 years old cannot be taken directly, as they will cause great harm to the body. If the herbs are more precious, it will be life-threatening."
"Oh, then are there any other ways to take those herbs that cannot be taken directly?" Qing Shui thought for a while, because he thought of that noble profession.
Alchemist.
"Herbs that cannot be taken directly require an alchemist to refine them into elixirs, which can be fully utilized and absorbed." Qing Yi saw that her son seemed to be very interested in the alchemist.
So that's it. Qing Shui originally thought that ordinary medicinal herbs can be taken directly, and it would be a waste. After all, the power of precious medicinal herbs cannot be fully absorbed at one time, so most of them will be eliminated from the body. But he didn't expect that it would not only be a waste, but even explode. The body dies.
"Mother, since alchemists are also divided into levels, and the levels match the levels of medicinal materials, then what is the difference between a fifth-level ordinary alchemist and a third-level ordinary alchemist who both refine ordinary elixirs." Qing Shui thought about it, and Is it the same as what you imagined?
"The higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the quality. In addition, it is difficult for ordinary alchemists to refine precious medicines, so the level of alchemists is even stricter."
The levels of alchemists are the same as those of medicinal materials, but they are subdivided. Each product is divided into ten levels, that is, eight levels and eighty levels.
From high to low, they are ordinary-level alchemists, rare-level alchemists, jade-level alchemists, king-level alchemists, imperial-level alchemists, imperial-level alchemists, holy-level alchemists, and legendary divine-level alchemists.
"Sure enough, it's the same as in Fantasy Westward Journey. The higher the level, the higher the quality. But there are many different things. I just don't know when I will learn the alchemy skills of the ancient times. I don't know the three kinds of medicines that are refined.
What level does top-grade medicine belong to in this world?" Qing Shui thought to himself, becoming more and more eager for the medicine refining technique.
"The Situ family in Baili City wants to purchase precious medicinal materials from our family. Could it be that they have an alchemist?" Qing Shui saw Situ Bufan's arrogance and the light-dressed master who clearly looked down on Situ Bufan but became his.
