At this moment, in the medicine garden, there are dozens of figures running around in hundreds of medicine fields, large and small.
Zhou Xing was far away in the northernmost corner, so as soon as he entered the medicine garden, Zhou Xing walked non-stop towards the north.
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
Along the way, many disciples greeted Zhou Xing one after another.
Although he cannot practice, Zhou Xing is gentle in dealing with others, and many disciples have a good impression of him.
"Senior Brother Zhou is here. Now we are in trouble."
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou must have offended someone..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard by Senior Brother Zhou."
After seeing Zhou Xing, many disciples greeted him in whispers, with strange looks in their eyes.
Zhou Xing naturally felt the strange look in everyone's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, after arriving at the medicine garden, Zhou Xing finally understood the reason for everyone's strange looks, and their surprise turned into endless anger.
I saw that on my own medicine garden, the branches and leaves of the elixir were broken, many of them had been uprooted, sparsely withered, and there was no intact place in the entire medicine field.
who is it?!!
Zhou Xing's face was ashen, and his usual gentleness disappeared. A fierce and fierce sword intent came out of his body, and his whole body was like a volcano.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhou Xing picked up a spiritual grass and examined it, only to find that it was covered with tooth marks, as if it had been gnawed by some small beast.
Could it be that some small monster came into this medicine garden?
However, wasn't this medicine garden set up by an elder of the Wuyan Immortal Sect to set up a defensive array?
To this day, Zhou Xing still remembers what the elder said: This defensive formation cannot be broken even by the First Spirit Mirror monster.
Zhou Xing pondered, but could do nothing.
"It seems that I can only spend points to exchange for elixir seeds from the sect and plant them again. It will be about a month before Baicao Pavilion comes to collect the herbs, so I should be able to make up for it."
Zhou Xing sighed. With his knowledge of elixirs, the elixirs grown by Zhou Xing were always of better quality and higher yield than others. Every time he turned in the elixirs, he would get a lot of points. He didn't expect that he would be doing a loss-making business this time.
Zhou Xing has been in the Wuyan Immortal Sect for three years. Although he still has not become a monk, he has accumulated hundreds of points, which is several times more than the disciples who came to him at the same time.
After spending two hundred points, Zhou Xing redeemed a batch of elixir seeds and came to the medicine garden.
"Hey! Senior Brother Zhou Xing, I heard that you are one of the best at growing elixirs in the medicine garden. What's going on?"
Zhou Xing was removing the elixirs from the fields when a sarcastic laughter came from beside him.
Zhou Xing didn't need to raise his head, he could tell who it was by listening to the voice.
This person's name is Zhao Yuan. Although he is at the bottom of the entire Wuyan Immortal Sect in the acquired first level, he has sensed the aura of heaven and earth and can be considered a monk.
Because of his low level and low moral character, he basically has no friends, but this guy is quite good at finding a sense of superiority from Zhou Xing.
After all, I am a monk and you are nothing.
Facing Zhao Yuan's gloating, Zhou Xing seemed not to hear it.
Zhao Yuan didn't talk to Zhou Xing, and he was bored, so he went to take care of his medicine field.
For people like Zhao Yuan, the more you pay attention to him, the happier he gets, so the best way is to ignore him.
Zhou Xing's medicinal field was not big, but Zhou Xing took care of it very carefully. It was not until the sun set at noon that he planted the seeds of the elixir.
In the afternoon, Zhou Xing also had a task, which was to be a medicine boy for Elder Mo of Baicao Pavilion.
The so-called medicine boy is just a servant who assists the elders in alchemy and delivers medicinal herbs when needed.
However, Zhou Xing enjoys this job because the benefits of being a drug boy are huge.
Not only because Elder Mo Rou is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Wuyan Immortal Sect, but also because she can watch from the side when the elder is refining elixirs. Zhou Xing's pharmacological knowledge was learned in this process.
Because of the meteorite, there are only a few dozen medicine boys in the entire Baicao Pavilion, but there are seven or eight elders. On average, each elder needs four medicine boys, so manpower is quite tight.
"Senior Sister Wang!"
As soon as Zhou Xing arrived at Baicao Pavilion, he was taken away by a woman named Wang Yuan, who was Elder Mo Rou's personal medicine boy.
The so-called personal medicine boy is the kind of person who always serves, equivalent to half a disciple.
Arriving at the alchemy room, Noila Mo was sitting cross-legged on the futon. On the fire in front of her, an alchemy furnace was emitting light.
Her skin is like cream, her hands are like onions, her waist is as round as a handful, her face is charming, and her waist-length black hair is blowing gently in the wind. She exudes all kinds of charm, which makes people reluctant to look away.
Although this was not the first time he saw Elder Mo Rou, Zhou Xing was still shocked by his beauty every time.
There are such beautiful women in the world!
Zhou Xing was amazed in his heart, and his face immediately returned to calm.
Noila Mo was refining elixirs, and Wang Yuan did not dare to disturb her. After making a gesture to Zhou Xing, she quietly stood aside. Zhou Xing also stood silently behind her.
Time passes slowly.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the lid of the alchemy furnace kept beating, and then exploded, scattering the dregs of various elixirs all over the floor.
"What's going on? I obviously made it according to the elixir recipe, how could the furnace explode again?"
Noila Mo frowned and murmured to herself.
Next to them, Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan were also quiet and did not dare to disturb them.
At this time, alchemists are most focused. They are usually summarizing the reasons for failure. If they are interrupted by the outside world, they will definitely be furious.
It is said that an inner disciple once accidentally interrupted an elder's thinking. The elder was furious and directly abolished the person's cultivation and expelled him from the Smokeless Immortal Sect.
Therefore, an alchemist is half a madman.
Mo Rou didn't speak, so Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan naturally wouldn't interrupt rashly. The two sides remained silent like this, and the entire alchemy room was silent, which seemed a bit strange.
After a long while, it seemed that her thinking was fruitless, Mo Rou came back to her senses, looked at Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan in front of them, took out a golden token and handed it to Wang Yuan, waved her hands and said: "Take my golden token and go store it.
Go to the room to receive three copies of the 'Demon Locking Pill' elixir."
"yes!"
Zhou Xing, Wang Yuan and others responded respectfully and then withdrew.
"Senior Sister Wang, this 'Demon Locking Pill' must be extraordinary. Even Elder Mo Rou, who is known as the number one alchemist of the Wuyan Immortal Sect, failed to refine it."
On the way, Zhou Xing asked.
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "It is said that this 'Monster Locking Pill' has amazing effects. As long as it is not a monster with a high level, after taking it, it can only be obedient and become a battle pet."
So much harm?
Zhou Xing couldn't help but show a bit of yearning.
"Okay, it's useless to think too much. After all, this kind of thing is not something ordinary people like us can peep into."
Seeing Zhou Xing's longing look, Wang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, if she could get it, who wouldn't want this kind of elixir?
"What the senior sister said is true."
Zhou Xing naturally knew that this was impossible to happen.
The two of them stopped talking and quickly went to the storage room. After obtaining the elixir, they rushed to the alchemy room.
In the alchemy room, Noila Mo looked at the pile of residues on the ground, couldn't help but hold her forehead, and whispered softly: "If it weren't for that little girl Wu Yan, I wouldn't have such a failure rate in refining the 'Demon Locking Pill'
Such a perverted thing, she must make up for me well after this incident."
Zhou Xing and Wang Yuan came to the alchemy room, handed the elixir to Mo Rou, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for instructions.
Mo Rou didn't have many things for Wang Yuan and Zhou Xing to do. She was busy refining the elixir. After getting the medicinal materials, she activated the formation on the stove to draw out the scorching inner earth fire.
The scorching air waves immediately filled the entire alchemy room, and the temperature was frighteningly high. Wang Yuan's body immediately released a thin spiritual shield, protecting herself and Zhou Xing from the scorching air waves.
Wang Yuanlu's skill could only be achieved by a monk. Zhou Xing looked at it and thought about his physical condition, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
However, this is not the time to be envious. You can watch the elders make alchemy, but you can't find it with a lantern. How can you miss it?
Seeing that the flames on the furnace had stabilized, Norou slapped her palm on the alchemy furnace. The furnace made a banging sound, immediately rose from the ground, flew towards the furnace, and finally landed steadily on the fire.
The scorching high temperature of the furnace fire baked the furnace cauldron. After a while, the furnace cauldron was burned all over.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mo Rou pointed at the cauldron, and suddenly the lid of the cauldron slowly lifted up and floated in the air.
Noila Mo moved her hands slowly, holding a green elixir with two fingers that Zhou Xing could not name, slowly put it into the cauldron, and then slowly refined it.
After a while, Noila Mo added another scarlet fruit.
The fire in the core of the earth was still burning brightly, and Zhou Xing clearly remembered that this was the twenty-seventh time that Mo Rou added elixir to the cauldron.
Zhou Xing didn't know these elixirs, except for the last red lotus grass, which he once heard from an elder who collected herbs in the medicine garden.
Whoosh!
As the last elixir was thrown into the cauldron by Noila Mo, the lid was also closed.
Mo Rou's spiritual energy spurted out from her whole body, surrounding the furnace cauldron, and then controlled it to slowly rotate on the fire, so that every part of the furnace cauldron was fully heated evenly.
There are two basic points in refining alchemy, namely technique and heat.
The technique is to pay attention to the order when putting the medicinal materials into the cauldron, not to reverse them, and also to pay attention to the timing, not too fast or too slow.
Fire refers to the size of the firepower of the furnace. Simply put, it refers to the temperature. If the firepower is insufficient, the quality of the elixir will be extremely low. If the firepower is too strong, the furnace will explode easily.
Generally speaking, techniques and heat require countless practices to be understood, so most of the alchemy rooms are filled with old men.
Of course, some people with extraordinary talents, especially those who are sensitive to fire, can easily grasp the key points of techniques and heat.
It's just that there are too few people like this, and they are rare. Whenever they appear, they are the targets of major forces.
Of course, only those powerful forces with deep foundations and terrifying financial resources are capable of cultivating alchemists.
Refining elixirs is an extremely long and tedious task, but you have to concentrate and concentrate. Therefore, people with hot tempers and impatient tempers are generally not suitable to be alchemists.
Zhou Xing also didn't know which grade of elixir the "Demon Locking Pill" was, but judging from the more than twenty kinds of elixirs, it should belong to an extremely complicated category and should be around the fourth grade.
A fourth-grade elixir, probably only Elder Mo Rou can refine it in the entire Wuyan Immortal Sect.
"boom!"
While Zhou Xing was staring closely at the furnace, he saw the alchemy furnace cauldron expanding again like last time, shaking constantly, and then exploding.
"how so?"
Noila Mo waved her hand and took the cauldron off the fire, frowning as she looked at the dark medicinal dregs all over the floor.
Zhou Xing also looked at the medicine residue on the ground, frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea.
Stepping up to Mo Rou, Zhou Xing slightly cupped his hands and said, "Elder Mo Rou, this disciple has a suggestion, should I make it?"
Looking at this scene, Wang Yuan frowned. She wanted to stop Zhou Xing just now, but she didn't have time.
This Zhou Xing is also true. Could it be that he thought he could find a solution to a problem that even Elder Mo Rou couldn't solve? He was really naive. If he couldn't solve it then, he would be punished, and he would still be implicated.
At this moment, Wang Yuan was like an ant on a hot pot, restless.
"oh?"
Noila Mo raised her head, glanced at the disciple in front of her lightly, and asked: "If you have any suggestions, just tell me? Let's talk about it first. If your suggestion is correct, I will naturally not treat you badly. But if you hurt me again,
Blow up the furnace and I will punish you severely."
In fact, Noila Mo is not what she appears to be. She is different from other stubborn people. She also advocates having her own thoughts and not living in the circle drawn by others.
The reason why he said this was just to sound the alarm to Zhou Xing.
"It's natural."
Zhou Xing was not afraid at all.
"Then tell me your proposal."
Seeing that Zhou Xing was so confident, Noila Mo also became interested.
Zhou Xing nodded and said: "I have little knowledge and have never heard of the 'Demon Locking Pill' refined by Elder Mo Rou, and I have never seen most of the medicinal materials. However, a small number of medicinal materials and their habits and characteristics
, I still understand something.”
"For example, this last elixir, if I read it correctly, should be 'red lotus grass'."
Zhou Xing continued.
"Red lotus grass is red in color and has six leaves that spread out in the shape of a lotus. When mature, a winding red line will appear from the root. Its function is to condense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and the fragrance it emits is fatal to monsters.
Allure."
"On the contrary, this red lotus grass has a special effect that is not recorded in the book. That is, the heat for refining the red lotus grass should not be too high, otherwise the liquid of the red lotus grass will evaporate and produce an extremely violent substance.
, the frying rate will be increased to 100%."
"I see."
Noila Mo's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded. Based on her years of experience, she could tell that Zhou Xing was not talking nonsense. Besides, she would refine it later, so she would know if it was true or false.
However, she looked at Zhou Xing again and asked doubtfully: "How do you know?"
"Elder Qi, this disciple accidentally saw this in an extremely ancient book in the library."
Zhou Xing replied.
After hearing the elder's remarks in the medicine garden, Zhou Xing became interested and stayed in the library for several days just to inquire about the information about the "red lotus grass".
"oh!"
Noila Mo nodded and signaled Zhou Xing to step back, she was going to make the elixir again.
Zhou Xing quickly retreated behind Wang Yuan.
At this time, Wang Yuan had already been shocked by Zhou Xing's knowledge. Although he was Elder Mo Rou's medicine boy and had extremely rich pharmacological knowledge, he was completely insignificant compared to Zhou Xing.
