With the promise of alchemist Nie Yuncheng and the ice potion cauldron, Shen Ling'er's fighting spirit instantly became higher.
A pair of white and smooth jade palms rested on the dark medicine cauldron, and an inexplicable flame burned faintly in his eyes.
"In that case, I will accept this Ice Demon Disciple."
Shen Ling'er smiled confidently, and a ray of milky white Qi slowly passed through the cauldron wall and floated towards the fire outlet.
Whoosh!
Seeing the red color beating violently inside the cauldron, Shen Ling'er's eyes became even more proud.
And since this was Shen Ling'er's first time refining elixirs, Nie Yun did not dare to be careless at all. He kept a close eye on Shen Ling'er throughout the process to ensure that he could protect her immediately if an accident occurred. At this time, he saw Shen Ling'er relaxed.
The appearance of igniting the earthly fire also encouraged him:
"Look, I told you it's very simple."
If Master Li were here, he would definitely say in confusion, "What's the point of triggering the underground fire... Isn't it just a matter of using the Qi machine to explore the outlet of the fire..." He has taught alchemy for more than 20 years.
, I have seen students who can't learn to make alchemy no matter how I teach them, but I have never seen anyone who can't trigger the earth fire. When he first taught Nie Yun and the others how to make alchemy, he didn't even mention it at all.
The beginning of refining medicinal materials...
However, Shen Ling'er, who was just a novice in alchemy, naturally didn't know this. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile, and then followed Nie Yun's example and slightly increased the output of the Qi machine, violently beating the crimson red in the cauldron.
After suppressing it, my self-confidence grew even more.
"Hehe, it's quite simple."
"Well, it will be a little difficult from now on, but it's okay, it's not too difficult, just be careful." Nie Yu smiled and nodded and reminded: "And don't talk when you are refining the medicinal materials.
Now you can’t do two things at once.”
"Okay." Shen Ling'er nodded her white chin, then confidently took out a light green plant and gently threw it into the cauldron.
Whoosh!
As the returning grass was thrown in, it was like a drop of water splashing into the boiling hot oil pan, and the red color in the whole cauldron boiled almost instantly.
And the green in the boiling red just persisted for a few breaths and then quickly turned into a touch of char...
I didn't dare to be so arrogant when I was refining alchemy, how dare you... Nie Yun's eyes widened slightly.
"Didn't that book mention this situation?" Nie Yun patted his forehead lightly and said helplessly.
"Then it says that the flame will boil. How did I know that this thing boils so hard?" Shen Ling'er's fair little face turned slightly red, and she said somewhat sullenly.
What he just said was simple, but he turned around and failed, which was so embarrassing! Shen Ling'er really wanted to cover her face at this moment.
"Ahem, forget it, it's your first time, failure is normal." Nie Yun looked at his disciple's shameful and angry look, shook his head silently, but could only pretend as if nothing happened.
He comforted her softly.
"Did Master also fail back then?" Shen Ling'er's eyes lit up slightly and she asked with a hint of expectation.
If even the master couldn't succeed in one attempt, then it would be reasonable for me not to succeed.
"How is it possible? This thing is so simple... Uh." Nie Yun raised his head and spoke proudly before he realized what he was saying. He quickly changed his tone and said, "I was also very lucky when I was a teacher. You might succeed if you try it again.
Already."
I always felt that the master was mocking me, but I had no proof. Shen Ling'er rolled her eyes silently, but she still honestly put in a breath-returning grass again.
After a while, there was only a popping sound.
Shen Ling'er's fair cheeks were stained with a few gray stains, and she looked at Nie Yun with resentful eyes.
"Ahem, if you try it again, it should be done!" Nie Yun smiled and waved his arms to encourage him.

road.
puff!
"Really, Ling'er, you have to believe me. It's really fast. You were just in a hurry just now."
puff!
"I feel like I will succeed next time!"
puff!
"Uh... we've done this, we can't give up and try it again."
puff!
"Master, you really succeeded in the first attempt!" Shen Ling'er said with a dejected face and a faint tone.
"Of course." Nie Yun naturally answered the question concerning the master's face resolutely: "This thing is so simple... Anyway, I did it the first time."
"Be good, do it again."
puff!
"How about...you try using the Ice Demon?"
"I don't!"
puff!
...
Time passed quietly, and it was late at night before I knew it.
"Ahem, Ling'er, I think you should take a rest first." Nie Yun coughed slightly and said helplessly.
"I don't!"
Shen Ling'er pouted, her pretty emerald green dress was now stained with burnt black, and a few bloodshot threads were looming in her bright eyes,
"I don't believe it. I can't do such a 'simple' thing in a day!"
"Well... you don't actually need to worry." Nie Yun hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, in our university, it is normal for freshmen to successfully refine it within one or two weeks... and there are even some who have successfully refined it.
I haven’t practiced for months.”
"What!" Shen Ling'er said crisply with a hint of sharpness: "Then you tell me it's simple?"
For the students of Yuelu Academy, it basically takes more than half a month to go from an alchemy apprentice to a real alchemist. Why don’t you tell me it’s simple???
"But it's really simple...I'll do it once...hiss! How dare you step on the master!"
"Is she careless because she's too tired?" Shen Ling'er blinked, which seemed somewhat believable considering her bloodshot eyes.
But... you accidentally stepped on me and it hurt so much? Nie Yun took a deep breath, forced out a smile and said: "Okay, be careful next time, go back and have a good rest."
Forget it, forget it, who said this is the apprentice I accepted? It's getting late. If I go back so late today, senior sister will have to ignore me for a few more days...
...
After coming out of the Alchemist Association and saying goodbye to Shen Ling'er, although it was late at night, it was still far away from midnight, so Nie Yun did not rush away like yesterday, but walked slowly on the street, feeling
The gentle evening breeze and the strong smell of fireworks all around.
"Old man, as always, three bunches of candied haws on a stick." Nie Yun walked slowly to a tall straw stack and said with a slight smile.
"Haha, okay." The old man stretched out his wrinkled hands, took out three bunches of shining candied haws from the straw pile, handed them to Nie Yun, and said with a smile: "Okay."
After receiving three bunches of crystal-clear candied haws, Nie Yun carefully put them into his storage bag, then casually took out a few copper plates and handed them to his father-in-law, then turned around and continued walking leisurely.
Because it was in the north of the city, there were not many people on the street, so the smoke and smoke naturally faded a lot. After Nie Yun turned into an alley, there were almost no people left.
Just when Nie Yun lamented that Kyoto was not prosperous everywhere, a commotion suddenly came from the streets in the distance: scattered footsteps, the sound of official swords being unsheathed, and yelling and cursing, all mixed into one mass, mixing up the few people on the street.
The figure was also frightened and left in a hurry.
"After all, the people in Kyoto are still very enthusiastic. When something happens, they rush to report it to the official." Nie Yun shook his head and sighed softly: "I was so embarrassed that I turned around and ran away.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"As he spoke, he jumped slightly and stood firmly on the roof, looking at the shadows of swords and swords in the distance.
"Eh? Isn't that the guard of Xiao Xue's family?" Nie Yun frowned slightly. He saw a group of guys wearing black fish and dragon suits fighting with another group of black figures on the street in the distance.
They are fierce, but the number of people is too different, which puts them at a clear disadvantage.
However, although Xiao Xue's guards were at a disadvantage, they did not appear panicked. On the contrary, the man in black, who had the upper hand, looked a little anxious and uneasy. He glanced back from time to time, and then the knife in his hand became more powerful.
Forget it, we can't just watch it like this.
Nie Yun sighed slightly, jumped up a few times, and quickly shuttled on the roof.
But suddenly, Nie Yun's eyes narrowed.
At the end of the street not far away, at a corner, a stone slab was pushed open, and then a black figure slowly emerged from it.
The figure in black lay down carefully, and seemed to sigh slightly when listening to the commotion coming from two streets over. Then he squeezed his right hand slightly, and a green flame flashed from his hand, speeding up a few points in vain, towards
He ran quickly towards the east of the city.
Looking at the flash of swords and shadows in the distance, and then at the figure in black running quickly not far away, Nie Yun frowned slightly.
Looking at the man in black lying down in order to listen to the noise on the street next door, and wearing the same clothes, Nie Yun was almost certain that the man in black and the guys fighting with the Xiao Xue family's guards were the same group. However,
But he is not a martial artist, or his martial arts cultivation is very weak.
As a martial arts cultivator with keen senses, such a noisy voice is only across the street. To the martial cultivator, it is not much different from being right next to him. What's more, even after using the light body charm, his speed is still appalling...
The group of people who fought with the Xiao Xue family guards were obviously top-notch masters, the lowest level of which was perfect physical training, and this guy who was not even a martial artist was in the same group with them... Nie Yun narrowed his eyes slightly
Standing up, he immediately gathered his attention, his calf muscles exerted force slightly, and he quickly rushed towards the figure in black in a few jumps.
...
The cold wind howled.
With the blessing of the Light Body Talisman, the man in black ran very fast. The late winter night wind hit his face, making him shrink his neck involuntarily, but his steps showed no signs of slowness.
He tried his best to rush towards the east of the city.
He knew that the secret guards in the family could not delay for long. Even though it was late at night, the support of the Fish Dragon Guards could still reach any corner of Kyoto within five minutes! And he had to reach any corner of Kyoto within these five minutes.
Rushing outside the city, this is his last chance!
Suddenly, a figure wearing a dark red robe appeared in front of him. His brows were tightly knitted, and he slowly stopped walking while looking at the dark red figure.
With his knowledge, he naturally knew that this was the robe of the elder of the Alchemist Association. Normally, he would have said hello politely, but at this time, when he was in a desperate situation, an elder of the Alchemist Association suddenly appeared in front of him.
It couldn't help but make him feel a little bad.
"Huh..." He silently counted the seconds, knowing that time was running out. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the back of the dark red robe.
He had no other choice but to bet that the elder of the Alchemist Association was just passing by by chance and didn't know anything.
After all, there is no way the Yulong Guard can mobilize an elder of the Alchemist Association. Even if he can... then he can't be used to arrest people... He comforted himself like this.
He forcibly suppressed his heart that was about to beat violently, and calmly walked slowly towards the dark red robed figure.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The last step! There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he slowly but firmly took the last step.
