My life in another world is up to me

In the afternoon of the next day, Su Ziyi, who had just returned home from Shuiyun Town, found out that there were guests at home.

Wisps of white smoke from burning cypress branches and rice husks are slowly floating from the corner of the yard, and there is also a thin "cracking" sound, coupled with the oozing of the fat fat from the red hideous meat, the air is full of smoke. It's a smoky meat scent that makes people feel greedy when they smell it.

And in front of the row of hanging pieces of meat, Su Yulang was poking into the chaff pile with a cypress branch in boredom.

It's just that when the courtyard door was pushed open and there was a "squeak", his eyes lit up instantly, and then he looked back, seeing that the person who came was indeed his father whom he had been thinking about for a long time, and immediately threw the cypress branch aside, He rushed forward with a cheer, hugged Su Ziyi's waist and shook: "Father, why did you come back?"

Su Ziyi reached out to catch him, and smiled: "What's the matter?" Then he keenly sensed the aura of a stranger in the main room, and lowered his head and asked, "Is someone here?"

Hearing Su Ziyi mention this, Su Yulang was also a little awkward. He held Su Ziyi's hand tightly, and then whispered: "It's the village chief." "Huh?" Su Ziyi frowned: "Why is he here?" At this time, Bian Qing, who was working in the kitchen, also heard the voice and came out. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Ziyi take down the bamboo basket behind him, and urged: "Go quickly, the village chief seems to have business to see you." .” He frowned, also puzzled by the sudden visit of the village chief.

"He didn't say anything to you?" Su Ziyi untied the bamboo basket, put it in Bian Qing's hand, and asked casually, but Bian Qing gave him a look and said viciously, "What are you thinking?" Seeing his unhappy expression, Su Ziyi remembered that although this world is not as strict as the ancient earth, there are still many taboos for married couples.

So, he apologized and said: "Sorry, I forgot about this." Bian Qing is straightforward, and the longer he gets along with him, the more he subconsciously feels that Bian Qing is just an ordinary man, and he rarely thinks that the other party is different from himself. It is capable of giving birth to children.

"Okay, okay." It's not the first time that Su Ziyi has lost his nerve in this regard, and Bian Qing didn't bother to argue with him anymore, so he said casually, "Hurry up, he's been waiting for a while." "Okay , I'll go right away." Su Ziyi brushed off the dust on his sleeves and the hem of his robe, and then walked into the main room with strides.

The moment Su Yulang yelled, the village chief who was sitting in the main room heard it, but when he poked his head out to look, he happened to see what the family was saying in a low voice, so he retracted his head again .Fortunately, Su Ziyi walked in the next moment, and greeted him with a salute: "Village Chief."

"You're back." The village head put down the teacup, stood up, and tried his best to face Su Ziyi with a kind smile, but when he saw Su Ziyi's face, no matter how he smiled, he felt a little twisted.Fortunately, Su Ziyi didn't bother with him, he just nodded and said, "Sit down, village chief." Then, he found a stool and sat down, asking, "Is there anything important?"

The village head is also unwilling to be alone with Su Ziyi, so he can finish the matter as soon as possible, the happier he is, he stopped drinking tea, coughed a little uncomfortably, leaned forward slightly and said: "This is not Dr. Li Were you injured yesterday on the mountain?" He looked worried: "I went to see it with other people, and I heard that he was injured by a monster?"

"Ah."

"This is troublesome." The village head said: "For so many years, my ancestors have never seen monsters here, and now monsters appear in the nearby mountains, and they are so close to the village!" He went to the village this morning After looking around, it turned out that the place where Su Ziyi and the others fought was only a few miles away from Luoshan Village, which really worried him.

"So, I think—" At this point, the village head was a little embarrassed. Over the years, the village and the Su family have not been around much. Now that something big happened in the village, they have to ask their family. , It really made his old face a little unbearable: "You see that you often go to the mountains, can you help me find out what happened here?"

"I also know that this is a bit difficult for others." The village chief sighed, and did not look at Su Ziyi. Something." He rubbed his face with his hands, and the bitter water was about to drip from his face: "There is no way." After saying this, he stopped talking and just looked at Su Ziyi.

And Su Ziyi didn't expect that the person who had never been to the door came here just for this matter?

But this matter is not a big deal to him, after all, he still has to enter the mountain, so he nodded without thinking too much: "Okay, but it's not easy to walk in the mountain now, I have to wait It's spring." "Don't worry, don't worry." Hearing Su Ziyi's answer, the village chief's heart fell to the ground, and he looked at Su Ziyi with warmth in his eyes: "You just need to help take a look when the time comes. "

"it is good."

Apart from this matter, the village chief had nothing else to do, so he said goodbye to Su Ziyi after a few polite words.And Su Ziyi also got up and sent the other party outside the gate of the courtyard.

"Why, the village chief is gone?" Bian Qing was pickling vegetables in the kitchen, busy with his hands, but when he saw Su Ziyi walking in, he asked in a hurry. "En." Su Ziyi took a bowl of hot water from the stove, and slowly sipped it. "Why did he come here?" Bian Qing also couldn't figure out why the village head came here. After all, their family has been in Luoshan Village for more than ten years, and the two families have basically never been there.

"It's not just about the monsters on the mountain." Su Ziyi said disapprovingly, "This time Dr. Li was injured so close to the village, they are always a little scared." "Then he came to you because he wanted you to do it." What?" Hearing about the monster, Bian Qing felt a little unhappy, and even his impression of the village chief was bad.

"He asked me to go up the mountain to see what happened."

"Then you agree?" Bian Qing raised his tone, smashed the vegetables in his hand into the basin, and looked over. "It's not a big deal, so I just responded casually." "It's not a big deal?" Hearing Bian Qing's rhetorical question, Su Ziyi realized that Bian Qing was in a different mood. He thought of the key to the matter, and immediately explained: " I only promised him to go up and have a look, and after the beginning of spring."

Hearing what he said, Bian Qing felt better, but he still said unforgivingly: "I have to go with you at that time." "That's not good." Su Ziyi frowned: "It's very dangerous in the mountains , I may not be able to protect you." "I have a plan in my heart." Speaking of this, Bian Qing also felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his tone became sleepy: "I'm just watching outside, and you don't It's too late to go inside."

"Well, don't worry, I know that nothing is more important than saving your life." Looking at Bian Qing's tense face, Su Ziyi relieved, and then changed the topic to another place: "Did you see what I brought back?" ?”

"No, is that a return gift from the Xiangfu?" Bian Qing was still immersed in the sadness of his low strength, and his words were listless.

"Yeah." Su Ziyi got up and dragged the bamboo basket to the stool: "Both the housekeeper and old doctor Wu liked those red meat, so they gave us a very generous gift." He took it out and put it on the top. He opened a blue package, and opened it: "I told old doctor Wu about my plan to learn medicine refining, and he sent me a letter." He took out the contents and asked Bian Qing Shaking.

"Old Doctor Wu is really kind." Hearing this, Bian Qing's complexion improved a lot, he stopped pickling vegetables, washed his hands, wiped them, and walked over, squatting next to Su Ziyi to tidy up things together.

"En." Su Ziyi took out all the things inside: "It's also thanks to me that I went early. In two days, they will return to Qingcheng with Xiangfu, and they will not come back until after the Lantern Festival." He breathed a sigh of relief: "And I also asked Steward Xiang to help me bring back a better medicine stove from Qingcheng."

"From Qingcheng—" Bian Qing raised his eyebrows: "It shouldn't be cheap."

"Yes." Su Ziyi rubbed his nose: "In addition to the medicine furnace, there are also some spiritual herbs. I gave a total of 500 taels of silver notes to the housekeeper." At the beginning, after selling the monsters, he himself I left 4000 taels of silver bills for myself, and most of them were gone in one go, and when I came back to the housekeeper, I guess I had to make up for it.

"Then do you have enough money? Not enough. I have it here." Ordinary people don't spend much money in their lives, so he basically didn't touch the 500 taels that Su Ziyi gave him back then.

Hearing his words, Su Ziyi felt a little weak in his heart. He shook his head: "It should be enough." He looked at Bian Qing's face: "And it will be spring by then, and I will go into the mountains too. After entering the mountains , Whether it’s collecting herbs or hunting, there will be new items at home.” Putting all eggs in one basket has never been his style.

"That's fine. There's nothing to do in winter, so hurry up and read your book." Hearing what Su Ziyi said, Bian Qing felt that his pressure suddenly increased a lot.After all, he is only at the third level of Qi refining now, and if he wants to go into the deep mountains, it will really only cause trouble for Su Ziyi, and he will never allow himself to do so.Therefore, I secretly cheered myself up in my heart, and decided that I must practice hard this winter to shorten the gap between myself and Su Ziyi.

In this way, the already tense cultivation atmosphere of the Su family intensified again.

In the past, the two adults in the family used their spare time to meditate after finishing their work every day. Although Su Yulang, who was still a little ignorant, did not understand, but driven by his parents, he was also running jerky. Practice with the aura in your body.Therefore, his happiest moment every day is when his father teaches him to read with Eminem.

But now, Su Ziyi has one more homework besides his previous practice - that is to go to Dr. Li's house to learn the elementary knowledge of refining medicine from Dr. Li.

Pill pharmacists have a very long history on the Qingze Continent, but the turmoil in the mainland has led to the loss of various inheritances, coupled with the reduction of various spiritual materials and grasses, so the content that has been handed down now is less than ten. As a result, it continued to decrease sharply.But the overall framework and the most basic things are still relatively well preserved, which is of great benefit to Su Ziyi, who is just getting started.

In particular, although Dr. Li only has the second level of Qi Refining, he has profound basic skills, and has a very deep understanding of the most superficial elixir prescriptions, which makes Su Ziyi benefit a lot every time he communicates with him.

Through Dr. Li, Su Ziyi learned that among current cultivators, pills are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow, among which the yellow one is the lowest, and the sky is the highest; In the large grade, it is divided into nine small grades from one to nine.

It's just that due to the loss of inheritance, currently only yellow-level and mysterious-level elixirs are widely circulated in Qingze Continent, and only one of the prefecture-level elixirs appears occasionally in black market auctions, but every time it appears, it will set off a storm of blood on the mainland. rain.As for the heavenly pill?That's something you don't even think about.

And the refining of these pills has very high requirements for the cultivators themselves. Even if a cultivator in the late stage of foundation establishment has the best talent for refining medicine, he can only touch the threshold of Xuan-level pills. There are a few mysterious-grade pills.Therefore, the best pill pharmacist in Qingze Continent is only a Xuan-level pill pharmacist in the Jindan period.

"Precious spiritual grasses are getting less and less, and it is becoming more and more difficult for pharmacists to improve." Dr. Li told Su Ziyi, "There are some spiritual grasses used in yellow-level elixir that can be cultivated, and they can be found in other places." , so yellow-level pills can still appear in large quantities.” He sighed: “In recent years, the number of high-level monsters and high-level spirit grasses that can be found has become less and less, and the refining of mysterious-level pills has also changed. It was very difficult."

Su Ziyi listened quietly while putting away the bowls and chopsticks that Dr. Li had just finished eating.However, the longer he stayed with Dr. Li, the more he doubted Dr. Li, because the insights and knowledge that Dr. Li possessed were completely beyond the knowledge of a poor doctor who stayed in a dilapidated mountain village.Therefore, Dr. Li probably has an unknown story about him.

However, he didn't ask if he had any questions in his heart. He just abided by his duty and studied the knowledge of alchemy earnestly.

And after getting along with him for this period of time, Dr. Li has almost understood Su Ziyi's personality, which made him a little less wary of Su Ziyi and a little more appreciative. After eating the lunch sent by Su's family, he said to Su Ziyi Looking at the matter of the alchemist, he sighed leisurely: "I really want to see how in ancient times, there were so many low-level alchemists like dogs, and the sky-level alchemists walked everywhere." His eyes were full of longing.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Ziyi and sighed resignedly: "I've been like this all my life, and it's my limit to be able to refine the second-grade yellow-level pill, but—" He didn't hide his eyes at all. Expectations for Su Ziyi: "Boy from the Su family, you are still young, I believe you will go farther than me."
