In the center of Luan City, there is a small circular building about eight or nine feet high and six or seven feet wide. Although the appearance of the small building is not extremely luxurious, its materials are made of high-quality green iron wood.
It shows the identity of its owner.
At a rough glance, this small building was built not too long ago. Compared with the low and dilapidated buildings around it, it was probably built in the last ten years. But the owner of the small building is actually the real owner of this city.
The controller is the lord of Luan City.
Before Yao Xun came to the small building, he climbed up the stairs without any nonsense. The four sturdy warriors outside the building were obviously very familiar with Yao Xun and gave way with a smile. Yao Xun went straight into the small building.
Inside, a young woman in luxurious clothes immediately came forward with a smile on her face and bowed respectfully.
"Is the city lord here?"
Yao Xun just glanced casually, and said indifferently to the young woman in luxurious and somewhat revealing clothes without even looking at her.
"The Lord of the City has been waiting for you these days. Please come with me, senior."
The young woman did not show any displeasure at Yao Xun's indifference. Instead, she answered obediently, and then respectfully turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. Yao Xun made a sound from his nose, which was regarded as an answer to the young woman's words,
Then she stepped forward. The young woman did not dare to neglect and walked a few steps quickly to lead the way in front of Yao Xun.
It is hard to imagine that such an old man in tattered clothes would receive such courtesy in the small building of the city lord in this city. If Zuo Feng saw it, he would be shocked and speechless.
It's just that Zuo Feng was still concentrating on refining medicine at this time. Although he felt a little reluctant to let Yaoxun trade the medicine powder he made, but after all, what he valued most was to learn the method of refining medicine. And now he has obtained
After receiving the prescription for Juli Powder, as long as he has enough medicinal materials, it is not a problem to refine as much as he wants.
Time flies so fast, it was still noon when Yao Xun left, and when he returned to the thatched hut, the stars and the moon were already in the sky. When Yao Xun came back, he couldn't help but look surprised, seeing Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng was already lying on his back on the ground. What caught Yaoxun's attention was the two full bottles of Juli Powder placed next to Zuo Feng.
Before Yaoxun estimated that based on Zuo Feng's level of medicine refining, the remaining medicinal materials should be enough to refine just one bottle of medicinal powder. But now that all the medicinal materials have been used up, two full bottles of medicine can be refined.
Yao Powder, this can only explain one problem. Zuo Feng's success rate in refining Juli Powder has increased a lot, and his level of medicine refining has also been greatly improved.
Seeing Zuo Feng's exhausted look, Yao Xun's dirty old face couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy. It was the joy of seeing a stubborn stone transform into a beautiful jade with his own eyes. It was a kind of joy that came from the heart.
Happy, he was happy for Zuo Feng.
The old man did not disturb Zuo Feng's rest, but quietly came to the hut to cook. With a wave of his hand, a table of sumptuous dishes appeared on the table. He did not touch the delicacies on the table, but never touched them.
He took out a wine bottle from his pocket, uncorked it and took a long drink.
After swallowing a sip of strong wine, the smile on the old man's face gradually faded, but his eyes became complicated and contradictory. He looked up at the starry sky and said to himself: "After so long, I finally found a suitable person, but if he
To do this is undoubtedly to harm him. What on earth is wrong with me? Why do I suddenly feel discouraged again? Could it be..."
Yao Xun muttered to himself, his voice was very soft, as if there was some conflict in his heart. No one around heard what he said, but even if someone heard him, they wouldn't understand the meaning of his words.
After Xun finished speaking, he looked up at the dark night sky, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.
I don't know how long I slept, but Zuo Feng was woken up by the burst of hunger in his belly. He rubbed his eyes and looked up to see the dishes on the small table in the hut.
Zuo Feng felt really hungry. He got up from the ground and rushed to the hut in a few steps. He grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about the image. He choked on eating too much.
Zuo Feng rolled his eyes. He hammered his chest hard several times and then managed to swallow the food in his throat.
Seeing Zuo Feng's appearance, Yao Xun just smiled and shook his head, then picked up the chopsticks next to him and started eating as well. Yao Xun's actions immediately caught Zuo Feng's attention. He looked at Yao Xun in surprise, and then
He raised his head and looked at the sky again. Although it was just a rough estimate, Zuo Feng also felt that it should be at least the middle of the night. He probably remembered that he fell asleep when it got dark, but he didn't expect that Yaoxun had been waiting for him to get here.
It’s time to have dinner together.
Zuo Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, forced a smile on his face, and said awkwardly: "It turns out that senior didn't eat either. It's all because I don't have enough energy. After making those medicine powders, I really can't support it anymore."
As Zuo Feng spoke, he turned back and pointed towards the open space where the medicine stove was. Before he stretched out his hand, Zuo Feng knew that the two bottles of medicine powder must have been taken away by Yao Xun. But when he looked back, he found that there was something on the ground.
There was actually a lonely jade bottle standing there.
Zuo Feng turned to look at Yaoxun with some confusion, as if asking, "Why did you leave another bottle for yourself? With your character, you shouldn't?"
Yao Xun also seemed to see what Zuo Feng was thinking, and snorted coldly and said: "You refined that bottle of medicine powder, and it was not in my plan originally, so you just made that bottle of Juli Powder."
Just keep it yourself."
After listening to Yao Xun's words, Zuo Feng was stunned at first, but then he showed a meaningful smile. It was true that the old man said that he had refined the bottle of medicine, but for this reason, he used that bottle of medicine
It seemed a bit far-fetched to give it to him as a gift. Zuo Feng also knew that the old man had good intentions, so he looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
"Why, if you don't want it, then I'll sell it. I happen to be quite short of money here."
Hearing what Yao Xun said, Zuo Feng hurriedly ran over, grabbed the jade bottle and put it into his arms. Then he carefully walked back to the hut. He absolutely believed that Senior Yao could do it if he could tell it. Again.
Sitting down, Zuo Feng immediately noticed something different about this medicine. After thinking about it carefully, Zuo Feng looked at the mysterious old man in front of him again in surprise.
Although Yao Xun was still in rags at this time, Zuo Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the way he was eating food leisurely. Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel that he was still the same rude beggar he had seen in the restaurant before. Zuo Feng
I had the illusion that the old man sitting in front of me definitely looked like a young man who was born into a wealthy family.
Although Zuo Feng is a native of the mountains, he has come into contact with many wealthy children in Yancheng. Anya is naturally one of them, and his friend "Jiuquan" Ding Hao's origin is said to be a super
The only son of a wealthy businessman, this may be why he has a deep understanding of good wines.
He had seen Yaoxun picking vegetables with chopsticks before, but he looked a little awkward but didn't think much about it. But when he walked back from the hut just now, he happened to see Yaoxun put the vegetables into his mouth, and he tasted it just like that.
Zhi's gentle way of eating, coupled with the old man's grass-like hair and dirty face, immediately caused a chill to rise up Zuo Feng's back.
Although Zuo Feng was a little surprised by this situation, he didn't point it out. After all, the old man had no intention of revealing his identity from the moment he met him. Even if he saw something, he had no choice but to continue pretending to be stupid.
Just after Zuo Feng sat down again, his eyes casually turned to the corner, and then a metal container the size of a bucket came into view. Because he was too hungry before, Zuo Feng kept thinking when he rushed into the hut.
He stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table. Now that his stomach was full, he began to look around casually, and then he discovered this weird metal container.
"Old senior, are you really planning to let me make wine?"
Zuo Feng stuffed food into his mouth, pointed to the metal container in the corner, and muttered something unclear. At this time, Zuo Feng's eating appearance looked more like a hungry beggar.
Yao Xun rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Don't you think I am joking with you? Your medicine refining level can barely reach the entry level now. I think if you make it more seriously, it shouldn't be wasted.
Those precious wine-making materials.”
Zuo Feng's expression became extremely ugly, and he almost spit out the food he was about to swallow. He glared at the old man fiercely and said, "I'm still reluctant, and I'm still wasting your materials. I, I won't serve you anymore, I can't brew it."
Bring out the wine."
He swallowed the food as if he was angry, and after saying that, he ate again. Yao Xun also heard that Zuo Feng was speaking angrily, so he stared at Zuo Feng with his peripheral vision and said calmly: "Really
Not brewing?”
“Not brewing”
"You will be paid for this brewing."
"Not brewing..."
Although Zuo Feng still refused, his tone had softened somewhat and was not as firm as before. The old man smiled slightly and said again: "It is said that practicing wine-making techniques will be of great help to refining medicine."
"Forehead……"
"I seem to have heard that refining medicinal liquid evolved from the art of brewing wine. Although it is just a legend, I don't know if it is true?"
"I……"
Yao Xun seemed to be talking to himself, but Zuo Feng's face was getting more and more ugly. "This old man really likes to play with himself. He clearly heard that he said this out of anger, but he insisted on it.
In words, he told himself to completely admit defeat. I really don't know if he is too young at heart, or if he just has such a carefree personality.'
Just as Zuo Feng was thinking wildly, Yao Xun continued to speak: "I still have several medicinal prescriptions here. Although the level is not high, even for a junior alchemist, they are all existences that will break their heads and rob them. Alas...
Pity."
When the old man finished speaking, Zuo Feng's face completely collapsed, and he said with a pleading tone: "Senior, please stop playing tricks on me, I promise to make wine."
