Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 36: Admiration from the young lady of the sect, in the medicine room, he obtained the 'Five Steps of External Alchemy', and everyone in the room stared in amazement!

The moonlight is like water, sparkling.

The woman had a delicate face, her skirt swayed slightly in the cool breeze, and her eyes were clear as she looked at him intently.

Ji Xiu turned around.

Looking at this extraordinary face, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.

So after thinking about it carefully, he remembered the woman in light gauze who passed by him when she left Lin's house that day.

Thinking about the recent rumors about the "Lin's House" in Anning County, 500 miles away
Then he spoke, with some tentativeness:

"Ms. Lin Ruxue, the daughter of the Lin family?"

He stopped.

Lin Ruxue was not surprised and just nodded slightly:
"I've heard rumors about you. You entered the sword sect at the age of sixteen. It's a pity that you started too late. Otherwise..."

She was about to speak with a regretful tone, but suddenly her eyes narrowed, and she saw Ji Xiu's blood and energy surging like a dragon and a tiger, and she couldn't help but frown, wondering:
"Oh, that's not right. The last time I saw you, you clearly..."

In response, Ji Xiu did not comment or mention his own cultivation. Instead, he turned around and looked at the woman in a moon-colored skirt who was half a head shorter than him and had black hair hanging down her shoulders. He stopped and said:
"Since the young lady heard it, it doesn't matter if she tells you."

"I sold myself to your house a month ago. I protected the Second Miss Lin Ruyue when she frightened a horse. I was appreciated and became a groom."

"I have learned horsemanship since I was young, so I have some basic skills. I can tell how a horse is frightened just by looking at it."

"That day, the horse had the remnants of 'saffron pills' in its stomach. If it eats too much of this, even the most docile of temperaments will become restless and like a wild beast."

"If the eldest lady is interested, and it concerns her younger sister, she can go back and check it out."

After saying this, Ji Xiu turned around and was about to leave without any reluctance.

However, after hearing this, Lin Ruxue's eyes narrowed, and her small crescent-shaped boots moved as fast as a flying wild goose, causing the bricks to crack with one step, and the next moment she was close to Ji Xiu.

The moonlight poured down, and the lights nearby were dim.

Because she was a little anxious, Lin Ruxue took a few steps forward and slightly raised her head under Yu Jixiu's collar, and the two of them were almost sticking together.

Even if Ji Xiu took a half step back.

Her hair fluttered in the cool breeze and still brushed against his neck, emitting a faint fragrance.

"I see."

Lin Ruxue murmured softly, as if she had figured something out. She turned to look at Ji Xiu again, and their eyes met:
"But, I don't understand."

"If you had kept this secret to yourself, you would have been drinking and chatting happily in the elegant room, becoming brothers and spending another night together."

Her expression was a little unnatural, but she frowned in confusion:
"Aren't there many benefits?"

"As far as I know, the silver and elixirs my father gave you are only worth a few dozen taels. For a warrior, it is not much."

"You have just escaped from slavery and have a younger sister. Even if Lu Zhuang appreciates you, he can't give you much money."

"You have trained martial arts to this level. I think you have consumed a lot of pills. You probably spent all your savings. You may even have borrowed money from gangs or martial arts schools, and the interest has been compounded."

"you"

She said a lot in one go, and the more she spoke, the darker Ji Xiu's face became.

Gang loan, martial arts school loan?
What the hell.

How could he dare to go to the "three major gangs and four major clubs" to sign and seal a loan?
If you can't pay it back, a bone-tempering expert will come to your door and teach you how to dig coal in the coal mine, hunt in the mountains, and sleep in the open air. It's so cool!
This life is over!
The children of big sects have divergent thoughts quickly.

In response to this, Ji Xiu frowned:
"Miss Ruyue begged for five taels of silver for me, which helped me to open the door to martial arts."

"Before, I was in a low position and my words were not taken seriously. Even if I said anything, it probably wouldn't have any effect. I'm afraid I would disappear from the Lin residence in less than a day."

"Now that we're in Luzhuang, there's nothing to worry about."

"As for the young lady..."

He put the knife on his waist, moved his feet, and walked from the brightly lit downtown to the dark and damp streets. Step by step, he was going to pass through them and return to Luzhuang without looking back.

At the same time, the tone gradually faded away:
"Money is only outside of one's body, but trust and loyalty are the foundation."

"If I lose my sincerity in upholding my true self because of the small profits in front of me."

"Even if the years since then have been used to harden bones and even refine skin, I think it will be nothing more than this."

"This lifetime."

"It is possible to understand it, but I cannot comprehend it. What is the meaning of 'Master of Qigong'?"

In the end, he walked farther and farther away, and his voice was as faint as a mosquito or fly, but Lin Ruxue heard it clearly.

And every word and sentence hits home.

She looked at the figure standing tall as a pine tree, facing the moon into the dark alley.

After a long time, his eyes were touched and lightened slightly:

"It seems that he is not only a character, but also a gentleman."

“I guess so.”

"One of my generation!"

Finally, his eyes sharpened:
"Saffron?"

"Humph!"

She turned around, glanced at Feiyan Tower, a look of disgust flashed across her eyes, she sneered, and left.

The moon sets and the sun rises, the golden rooster breaks dawn.

Ji Xiu got up early and saw his little sister was happy, so he went to the Wentang in the manor to learn calligraphy.

He applied the tiger blood powder sent by Lin's house yesterday, and stood on the stake in a cheerful mood. After a full hour, he drank a breath of white air:
"What kind of noble lady from a sect in the mansion, a master of bone tempering, a female knight!"

"After seeing my wisdom from these two lifetimes and the heroic spirit I have cultivated over the past few decades, you were intimidated by me."

"This way, I have not only repaid the favor, but also avoided future hidden dangers. I feel relieved!" He ate the white porridge cooked by his younger sister together with the bacon.

Ji Xiu got on the carriage and went all the way to the "Medicine House".

After that.

He changed into an apprentice's green uniform skillfully, and followed Zheng Jun calmly, doing the same work as the other medicine boys, which made the latter helpless:
"Master Ji, you haven't given up yet?"

"To become an alchemist, you can't enter the door without several years or even more than ten years of experience. You look at it all day long, and put all those 'Nine-grade Alchemy Essentials' collected by Huang Yaoshi together, but it's not..."

He was mumbling incessantly.

At this moment, suddenly there was smoke rising from the alchemy room. Huang Yaoshi was unkempt, with a face as black as the bottom of a pot. Reluctantly, he called out to the medicine boys around him, started the fire and added medicine, preparing to make the elixir.

Seeing this scene, he was startled and dared not say more:

"This must be another large order from outside."

"Every time I refine these ordinary blood-nourishing and muscle-strengthening ninth-grade pills, the pharmacist feels that it is a waste of time and looks reluctant. You and I should be careful when the time comes, otherwise we will easily be scolded."

As he spoke, Huang Yaoshi skillfully prepared leopard bone powder, salvia miltiorrhiza, red peony root and other blood-activating ingredients. Yawning, he began to practice the "Five Steps of External Alchemy" and started to make the elixir.

However, while the heavy soup was being boiled to extract the medicinal properties.
Ji Xiu, who was originally helping out, suddenly frowned:
"Pharmacist, isn't your heat a little too strong?"

The pharmacists and servants in the pharmacy all know one thing.

That is.
Once Huang Yaoshi starts to make the elixir, he hates to be disturbed.

The last time he spoke, his thoughts on alchemy were disturbed, and he was scolded by Huang Yaoshi, carried out, and expelled from the medicine room.

Therefore, when Zheng Jun heard Ji Xiu speak clearly, he felt dizzy and thought to himself, "Oh my ancestor, you have only been here for a few days, how many days has Huang Yaoshi been refining?"

Is his temper right?
How could he not know it himself!?

"You boy!"

Huang Yaoshi, who was originally dozing off, suddenly started up and became furious. He was about to say something, but when he took a look at the condition of the alchemy furnace, he narrowed his eyes and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

And this time.

Ji Xiu's words came out again slowly:

"Not only that."

"Now that the soup has been boiled in the furnace, we have begun to extract the medicinal properties. The fire is too high, so we can no longer follow the rules."

"In my opinion, we should add two taels of leopard bone powder, a leaf of red peony root, and a little salvia miltiorrhiza, and increase the heat for three breaths!"

"Only in this way can the medicinal properties be balanced."

Zheng Jun tugged at Ji Xiu's sleeve.

However, this gentleman not only did not stop, but talked eloquently, leaving others confused.

No, man.

Although I call myself a 'ninth-grade alchemist', I have never made any by myself. How many years have I studied? How many days have you been here?
You are still talking about it!

Just when he thought that Huang Yaoshi was about to fly into a rage
This unkempt old man, contrary to his usual behavior, pursed his lips, and silently followed Ji Xiu's instructions, adjusting the temperature and adding the medicine!
For a moment, he was even more shocked!
And just when he thought that everything was over.

The next moment, a shocking sentence was slowly spoken:
"Well"

"What you said makes sense, you have some talent for alchemy."

"It can be seen that in the past few days, you have really summarized my scattered 'Nine-grade Alchemy Essentials' and have got into the doorway."

"But it is better to try it once than to read it a thousand times."

"Since you already know the 'Five Steps to External Elixir', namely, re-making the soup, pouring water, preserving the essence, removing the poison, and making the elixir, you can try to make it!"

"If it succeeds, half of this furnace of pills will be yours!"

!

No, pharmacist.
He's crazy, are you crazy too?

however,
What they didn't expect was
Ji Xiu, dressed in green, actually smiled slightly, without showing any fear. Instead, he bowed and then calmly sat cross-legged beside the Earth Fire Alchemy Furnace!
This time, not only Zheng Jun was stunned, all the medicine boys looked up at the same time and looked at each other, with shock on their faces, as if the sun had risen from the west.

But how could they know Ji Xiu's confidence!

[Collect 17 pages of "Nine-grade Alchemy Essentials", which can be used to advance "Fan: Nine-grade Alchemy Techniques"! ]

[After the advance payment, the repayment conditions are: open the furnace to refine the elixir, and the elixir will be completed after 30 furnaces. ]

"Yuanshi Dao Lu, give me an advance!"

Half an hour later.

Huang Yaoshi lay on the ground, staring closely at Ji Xiu, who was at ease and confident. He watched him boil the auxiliary medicine, pour the main medicine, preserve the medicinal properties, remove the elixir poison, and refine the furnace to condense the elixir!
Strictly follow the steps he recorded of 're-making the soup, pouring water, preserving the essence, removing the poison, and the elixir is ready', as if you have done it many times before!
Incredible, really incredible!

A little later.

Wait until the young man reaches out his hand and pats it gently!
All I heard was a loud bang!

The fire is out.

The alchemy furnace is open.

The whole house is filled with fragrance.

but see
There were a total of six ordinary ninth-grade 'Leopard Embryo Pills', each weighing thirty taels, lying round in the middle, with a market value of one hundred and eighty taels!

According to Huang Yaoshi, it was Ji Xiu who opened the furnace once.
The net profit of ninety taels is enough to cover the salary of three months' retainers!

This is the huge profit of the "Alchemist"!

[Fan: Ninth-grade Alchemy Technique: (1/30)]

[Thirty years of opening the furnace will bring you to the peak! ]
