A line of text appeared on the stone wall of the alchemy room at some point, but neither of them noticed it. The corner of one's mouth was slightly raised, and the only thing in his eyes seemed to be the red mass in front of him. With his fingertips twitching, one herb after another jumped into it, bathing in the fire.
Then it turned into pools of crystal clear medicinal liquid.
The other person's red lips were slightly open, and his eyes were staring at the process of the herbs passing through Nie Yun's fingertips and throwing them into the medicine cauldron. For a moment, he felt that this was much more exciting than the Peking Opera that he usually loved to watch.
.
After a while, the wind stopped and the rain stopped.
Nie Yun looked at the light yellow round pill in his palm and smiled, then stuffed it into the jade bottle and gently threw it towards Shen Ling'er: "Hey, this is my self-made Violent Qi Pill. I give it to you.
Study, study.”
"Ah, ah." As soon as Shen Ling'er came back to his senses, he saw a jade bottle flying towards him. In a hurry, his two jade palms flipped up and down, and then he finally stabilized the jade bottle in his palms and carefully held it.
He put it in his arms and let out a long sigh.
"You just throw away such an expensive elixir." Shen Ling'er rolled her eyes and said coquettishly.
"Hey, that bottle is pretty strong. It's the same thing if you don't catch it." Nie Yu shrugged indifferently: "Okay, you've almost rested, let's continue refining the elixir."
"Uh... How about we stop here today and talk about it tomorrow." Shen Ling'er sighed slightly and watched Nie Yun refining alchemy. She didn't learn any of the techniques. She felt a little ashamed of herself, thinking of her own embarrassment when refining alchemy.
He looked like he couldn't bring up the interest in alchemy for a while.
"How can this work?" Nie Yun shook his head vigorously, imitating the way his master used to force himself to practice, he straightened his face and said: "If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't reach a river. Today we almost missed it.
, it will be about the same tomorrow, but it will be much worse then!”
"Ah~" Shen Ling'er opened her red lips slightly, pulled the corner of Nie Yun's dark red clothes, and looked at Nie Yun with a pair of big bright eyes, but her voice was extremely crooked and said: "No, Master~"
"..." Nie Yun's shoulders shook suddenly, and he quickly gathered some energy and forcibly smoothed the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on his body. He wanted to say a few words of truth, but was speechless for a moment.
I remember back then my master only said this, and if I didn't listen, I would be beaten. How could there be so many gibberings?
But can I beat Shen Linger by myself?
Nie Yun turned his head, glanced at those moist eyes that were blinking, and patted his forehead with a headache. Although it's not a big deal to rest for a long time, we can't lose the majesty of our master.
And when Nie Yun was in a dilemma, Shen Ling'er's crisp voice with a hint of joy suddenly came out.
"Hey, Master, look, someone is looking for you outside." Shen Ling'er pointed at the huge stone wall in front of the alchemy room and said crisply.
"Huh?" Nie Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed the light golden characters on the stone wall, and then waved his hand helplessly: "Then let's forget it today, and we won't do it next time."
"Hehe, that's for sure." Shen Ling'er smiled and shook Nie Yun's sleeves and said: "Master, go and see what others want to do with you. It will be bad if you delay."
Haha, I'm afraid it won't delay your rest... The corners of Nie Yun's mouth twitched slightly, but he still got up and opened the stone door.
As the stone door rumbled open, first a dark red robe was revealed, and then an old face full of wrinkles.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Shen Ling'er's eyes lit up, she ran up in two steps, hugged her thin arms and said in surprise: "Let me tell you, I have been able to completely extract the medicinal materials. , I’m somewhat confident about condensing pills, maybe I’ll become an alchemist this week!”
"Really?" Elder Shen Dan smiled and touched Shen Ling'er's head with a smile on his face.

He showed a fond smile and said, "Then my Ling'er is really a little genius."
"Of course." Shen Ling'er's red lips raised slightly, and she glanced at Nie Yun, who was looking helpless on the side, and playfully stuck out her tongue and continued: "Of course it has something to do with the master's good teaching. "
"Haha, after all, he is the youngest elder of our Alchemist Association." Elder Shen Dan laughed, turned to Nie Yun and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Elder Nie Yun."
"Elder Shen Dan is too polite. Since he agreed to accept a disciple, he must teach him well." Nie Yun took a step back slightly, avoided the gift, waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no master who does not teach his disciples, right? .”
"Haha, no matter what, I am still grateful to Elder Nie Yun for taking care of him." Elder Shen Dan chuckled and was very grateful for Nie Yun's dedicated teaching.
He knew that his granddaughter was not bad in talent, but it was unrealistic to say that she could completely extract the essence of herbal medicine in one day and successfully refine the Qi Restoring Pill in one week, which must be related to Nie Yun, an alchemist. The elders’ meticulous and attentive teachings are inseparable.
You must know that most alchemists will have many so-called apprentices, so generally speaking, they will not have the energy to specifically guide each apprentice. Instead, they will give a general explanation and let the apprentices try it on their own.
The same is true for Master Li in the University Hall. Only when others gradually learn it one after another and have their own independent alchemy room that he no longer needs to worry about, Master Li will be free to specifically guide the remaining ones.
The casual cultivators outside are not so lucky. First of all, it is difficult for them to worship real alchemy masters. They can only worship those who are relatively poor, or even worship the kind of alchemy masters who make a living by recruiting disciples.
It is the kind of alchemist who will immediately recruit new disciples when there is one for each church, or when the casual cultivators cannot support the high-paying cultivators and leave.
With a teacher like this, whether you can succeed in learning depends almost entirely on your own talent...
However, Nie Yun obviously does not know or understand this kind of teacher-student relationship. In his opinion, the relationship between a master and his disciples should be like that between himself and his master and senior sister. The feeling of a family, at the very least, must be treated as guests in the university hall. relationship.
"That's right." Nie Yun shrugged casually and said, "Elder Shen Dan didn't come here specifically to check on Ling'er's study situation today, did he?"
"That's not the case." Elder Shen Dan patted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Look at my memory. I forget the important things while talking. I came here to see you today."
"Oh?" Nie Yun touched his chin, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Elder Shen Dan smiled and took out a gold-plated card from his sleeve and handed it over, and explained at the same time: "The Holy Emperor has summoned talents from all walks of life in Kyoto to hold a Qionghua feast on the tenth day of the lunar month. Of course, there are also Including our alchemy world. As for talents, you, the youngest elder of our association, are naturally on the invitation list."
While Nie Yun took the gold-gilded card and looked at it carefully, Elder Shen Dan continued: "I heard that this Qionghua Banquet was quite large. Not only were we invited to alchemy, magic talismans, puppets, and even chess players All walks of life in calligraphy and painting have also participated. I heard that leaders from all walks of life can also receive considerable rewards."
"Uh... I'm not interested in rewards without rewards. How many people can this thing bring in?" Nie Yun put away the gold-gilded card with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He couldn't leave senior sister and Xiao Xue alone. Just run away secretly...
"Uh... I seem to have heard that you can only bring one in." Elder Shen Dan thought about it carefully and replied with some uncertainty.
"...Forget it, I'm not going." Nie Yun selectively ignored Shen Ling'er's bright eyes and shrugged.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Although I am quite curious about the Qionghua Feast, I want to let the senior sisters know that I went to play secretly behind their backs alone... and brought a beautiful girl with me. Even though I am an apprentice... let's forget it. .
"This invitation is something that many people outside have asked for, so why don't you go if you don't want to?" The corners of Elder Shen Dan's mouth twitched slightly.
"...Will there be any problems?" Nie Yun scratched his head and said: "If the Holy Spirit will remember me for this, then I'd better go."
"Haha, you are thinking too much." Elder Shen Dan waved his hands helplessly and said: "How could the Holy One remember a little guy like you because of such a trivial matter? Forget it, if you don't want to go, just go, it doesn't matter. Big deal.”
Given the scale of Qionghua's feast, only one more person and one less ghost can tell.
"Even so, I don't think so." Nie Yun smiled.
"Okay, you can go or not. Anyway, I've sent the invitation, so I'll leave first." Elder Shen Dan said while shaking his head.
"Hey, wait, Elder Shen Dan, I have one more thing to ask you." Nie Yun reached out and pulled Elder Shen Dan's dark red robe.
Elder Shen Dan turned around, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Oh?"
"Ahem, it's not a big deal." Nie Yun paused for a moment, organized his words a little and said: "I just heard that the eldest son of the Qian Mansion occasionally suffered from a serious illness and summoned most of the alchemists in Kyoto. I don't know what the situation is now. .”
"Oh, it should be that Elder Nie Yun came to Kyoto for the first time, and the Qian Mansion has not heard of your name before he could invite you." Elder Shen Dan smiled slightly, thinking that Nie Yun was dissatisfied with not inviting him.
"As for that nasty disease..." At this point, Elder Shen Dan frowned slightly and said, "It's too difficult, I'm afraid it can't be cured."
Sure enough, he will die violently in a few days... Nie Yun nodded secretly, but on his face he shook his head and said, "That's such a pity."
"Yes, I have seen that young man, and he is quite handsome. What a pity." Elder Shen Dan said, shaking his head and sighing: "Now he has become skinny and bones for no reason, and he can't move at all."
Knowing what he wanted to know, Nie Yun ended the topic after a few pleasantries, bid farewell to Elder Shen Dan, and then returned to the alchemy room.
"Master, can you take me to the Qionghua Banquet?" Shen Ling'er poked her head over at some point and looked at Nie Yundu with her eyes.
"Uh... how about I give you the invitation and you go by yourself?" Nie Yun tilted his head and said.
"How can I go alone!" Shen Ling'er pursed her red lips slightly, hugged Nie Yun's arm and said softly: "Will you come with me?"
"It's not that I don't want to take you there. The main thing is that this invitation can only bring one person." Nie Yun patted his forehead helplessly, stretched out his other hand, clasped his fingers one by one and said, "Well, my senior sister, too
Even your sister-in-law is going, so your sister-in-law is going, and one of her friends is going, plus you, there are three of you, how can we get in?"
"Then we can sneak in." Shen Ling'er's eyes showed a hint of helplessness when she heard that she was both a senior aunt and a friend of her senior aunt, and she turned her smart eyes slightly.
"Don't. I will lose face if I get caught." Nie Yun quickly waved his hand.
"Do you want to go there?"
Nie Yun sighed helplessly.
"Let's do this. I'll ask the senior sisters later if they are free. If not, I will accompany you. If they are free... I will send you in and then come out by myself..."
This can’t be counted as being secretly enjoyed by this senior sister and the others...
