Gou became a god or devil after splitting his body

"Our mission is actually very simple. We patrol the 100-acre medicinal field in the morning and afternoon respectively, and arrange the rest of the time as we like."

"Our Li family has a total of 1,200 acres of fertile land, so there are a total of 24 people like us two."

"As long as you don't make mistakes, you can stay here forever."

Hearing this, Li Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "What mistakes can be made here."

"There are many, such as not patrolling in time, patrolling carelessly and causing damage to the medicinal field, or picking herbs in the medicinal field privately."

"If you only make the first two mistakes, you can be exempted from punishment by fined some family contribution points or compensate for the loss of the medicinal field."

"If you commit the last one, you will not only be driven out of the medicinal field, but also taken to the family's criminal law hall to be punished."

At the end, Li Qing's tone was very serious.

"Every newcomer will have a code of conduct. I will take you to get it later. It is more detailed."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's all trivial."

Li Qing waved his hand casually.

"I would like to ask you something."

"What's so presumptuous? Just ask."

"There are always two people patrolling the medicinal field. Did your previous partner make a mistake and leave the medicinal field?"

Li Yan asked carefully.

"Haha, I thought it was something else? You guessed wrong. He was not driven out of the medicinal field, but went one step further."

"I forgot to tell you that there are actually two types of people who come to the medicinal field. One type is like us, who are sent to patrol and guard the medicinal field."

"The other type is to come here as an apprentice to make medicine."

"What is an apprentice to make medicine?"

Li Yan asked puzzledly.

"Where do the medicinal food and pills we eat come from? They are made by pharmacists and alchemists."

"Every pharmacist or alchemist is a family's wealth."

"My previous partner passed the assessment and became an apprentice in alchemy."

"If I can become an alchemist in the future, even the blood exchange realm warriors in the family will treat me with courtesy."

At this point, Li Qing's face was full of envy.

"You mean, you can become an apprentice in alchemy by passing the assessment? Then can I also take the assessment?"

It is obvious that Li Yan is tempted.

"Of course, as long as you are a disciple of the Li family in the medicine field, you can take the assessment. I have also taken the exam."

"Unfortunately, I failed the exam three times. I almost passed the last time. It was all because the questions were too difficult."

Just like everyone who fails the exam will complain about the person who made the questions, saying that the questions were too difficult.

Li Qing is naturally no exception.

"Don't worry. When I take you to get the rules and regulations, I will also take you to buy a few copies of [Alchemy Instructions]."

"The first step of the assessment is to test the content of [Alchemy Instructions]. There are two more assessments later. If you pass all of them, you will be a qualified alchemy apprentice."

Time flies, and the work of patrolling the medicine field is not as boring as Li Yan thought.

Not only does he have a partner like Li Qing to chat with, but he will also encounter many accidents during the patrol.

For example, if a herbal farmer in a certain medicine field, who is the person who serves the medicine field, sprains his ankle in the medicine field or is bitten by a poisonous insect, they need to send the herbal farmer to the clinic opened by the Li family near the medicine field for treatment in time.

There are also herbal farmers who ask them for help to help them remove pests in the medicine field.

These pests, I don't know if they have eaten too many medicinal materials, and have mutated from generation to generation. Their bodies are much harder than ordinary pests. Without weapons, ordinary people may not be able to kill them with their bare hands.

As for the herbal farmers, they can bring hoes to the fields except when sowing the herbal fields. At other times, they are not allowed to bring sickles or hoes to the fields.

In this way, it took more than an hour for Li Yan and his companions to inspect the 100 acres of herbal fields.

Afterwards, Li Yan followed Li Qing and received a booklet. The palm-sized booklet contained the "Regulations for Herbal Fields".

Then, they went to the pharmacy to buy [Alchemy Instructions].

There are three books of [Alchemy Instructions], each of which is about 100 pages long and is full of words and pictures.

However, none of these surprised Li Yan. What surprised him was the price of these three [Alchemy Instructions].

Ten taels of silver per book. It must be said that this pharmacy is really good at making money.

After returning to his room, Li Yan began to look through it impatiently.

[Alchemy Instructions] is divided into three parts, one book for each part.

The first part introduces various common herbs and spiritual medicines, and these herbs are graded.

Medicinal herbs are classified according to their age.

One-year-old herbs are common herbs, five-year-old herbs are fine herbs, ten-year-old herbs are high-quality herbs, twenty-year-old herbs are precious herbs, and the ones above are precious herbs.

After all, the longest growth age of ordinary medicinal materials will not exceed twenty years. After more than twenty years, the herbs will die.

Those that can grow for more than twenty years are naturally very precious.

Spiritual medicines are divided into grades one to nine, and each grade is divided into three grades: low, medium, and high.

The more spiritual energy contained in the spiritual medicine, the higher the grade.

For example, the [Blood Orchid] that Li Yan once got was recorded as a first-grade low-grade spiritual medicine, which is equivalent to the lowest grade spiritual medicine.

When Li Yan saw this, he felt that the thirty taels were worth spending.

It was just that there were only a few dozen kinds of spiritual medicines introduced here, and most of them were of the first grade. Only three were of the second grade, and there was no introduction to the third grade and above, which made Li Yan very regretful.

The second part was to describe the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, how to balance the medicinal materials between these different medicinal materials, and finally, what method to use to add other ingredients to make these medicinal materials into a paste form.

This was the medicinal diet that Li Yan often ate before.

There were not only medicinal materials, but also other things.

Just like the [Low-level Blood-strengthening Medicinal Diet] that Li Yan ate before, in addition to adding nine kinds of ordinary herbs, it also needed an ingredient called blood rice.

This ingredient is a variant of rice, which needs to be watered with the blood of wild beasts to grow, and the Li family also grows it.

Blood rice can be said to be an ingredient used in many medicinal diets, equivalent to a binder plus a catalyst.

The third part is to teach people how to refine pills and the classification of pills.

Although there are some parts in the first two parts that are not well understood, most of them can be understood.

At this point, Li Yan can only say that he has understood six of the seven orifices, and nothing else.

The whole article is full of terms for alchemy, and Li Yan is like reading a book of heaven.

Of course, he can still understand the classification of elixirs.

Like spiritual medicine, elixirs are also divided into grades one to nine, and each grade is divided into three grades: low, medium, and high.

In the post-natal realm, only first-grade elixirs can be taken, and they must be in the Yunzang realm to take them.

Like the [Qi and Blood Pill] and [Bone Forging Pill] that Li Yan took, these are all elixirs that are not graded.

In order for elixirs to be graded, the main material must be spiritual medicine.

Until turning to the end, a line of words appeared, which made Li Yan a little upset.

"This book is advanced knowledge. You only need to memorize and understand the previous two books for the test."

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier."

Li Yan couldn't help but spit out sweet words.
