Countryside Rhapsody

The monks who came to watch the ceremony have never seen such a battle. In the past, the alchemist competition was to give them pills of the same difficulty, to see who could refine the most and best quality pills within the specified time. Now But it was to test the basic skills of two masters, Ye Shixiu and Zhu Zhiwen.

In their eyes, this is a bit of a fuss, not to mention that Zhu Zhiwen is a top alchemist who is honored as "Yao Zun" by the people of Jianghu. Using this method to test his capabilities, isn't it underestimating him?

Alchemists who are proficient in this way don't think so. The more they go deep, they realize that there is an extraordinary knowledge in alchemy. It is not easy to practice a single elixir than to arrange a formation or refine a magic weapon.

Even the most common qi-nourishing elixir has extraordinary knowledge in it. The elixirs are usually divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Sometimes, even if you use medicinal materials worth tens of thousands of gold, you may not be able to get the elixir you want.

The identification of medicinal materials, the control of the heat, the control of the time...how can all the tricks in it be explained in a few words?

For all alchemists, the identification of medicinal materials is the most basic skill, but it is also the most difficult skill. The so-called identification of medicinal materials is not just as simple as saying its name when seeing it.

For a qualified alchemist, recognizing the names of medicinal materials is only the beginning stage.

The next thing to grasp is the characteristics of these medicinal materials. Is it herbaceous, woody, mineral or animal?

When does it bloom and bear fruit, and when does it lay eggs and shed its skin?

How old is this leaf-shaped herb?How much of its potency is lost?What does it grow with and what does it restrain each other... After recognizing the appearance of medicinal materials, there are still countless things to learn. Stop to learn, there are mountains beyond the mountains, and heavens beyond the sky, even if they know the medicinal materials of the whole world, what about the whole world?There are endless worlds waiting for their exploration.

Unlike those monks who are not proficient in this way, every alchemy master stared wide-eyed and waited to see the performance of Ye Shixiu and Zhu Zhiwen. Some medicinal materials have almost the same appearance, and even the smell is not far away. At that time, even if you opened your eyes, you have to be very careful, not to mention that both of them are blindfolded now?

Zhu Zhiwen and Ye Shixiu, who were blindfolded, looked confident. They were both disciples of a school of medicine known for alchemy, and they had old grievances, so they naturally rushed out.

It's not just that I don't want outsiders to underestimate the world of medicine.

It's more about not wanting to lose to your opponent.

Ye Shixiu didn't want to defend his past. Whatever he wanted to say would be conveyed to Zhu Zhiwen through this competition.

When the gongs and drums sounded to announce the start, two huge dustpans were lifted up by the disciples of the Evil Ghost Sect and placed in front of Zhu Zhiwen and Ye Shixiu respectively. The host on the side said in a voice that could be heard by the audience: "The two venerables have a hundred plates in front of them. Whoever identifies the most and most accurate medicinal materials and preserves the best medicinal effects will be the winner of this competition."

Most cultivators are very sensitive. When Zhu Zhiwen and Ye Shixiu started to act, they also began to mobilize their sense of sight and smell to identify how many medicinal materials were in the two dustpans and what kind of medicinal materials they were.

Whether Qin Boran, Duo Lingjun, or Helian Yingdou, they all stared at the performance of the two people present. Since they are the two masters who are honored as venerable, their actions are naturally not slow, especially when they are honored as Zhu Zhiwen, who is the "Yao Zun", even speeded up Ye Shixiu's progress by one plate.

At the beginning, the two of them were hardly disturbed, and their movements were nimble and quick, which made all the alchemists startled, knowing that they must have worked hard to identify the medicinal materials to have the current ability.

Compared with themselves who are passing by, the alchemists only feel ashamed. The gap between geniuses and ordinary people is not just talent, because geniuses work harder.

When the two people filled more than [-] plates of medicinal materials, both Ye Shixiu and Zhu Zhiwen slowed down. From the eyes of ordinary monks, their movements were still fast, but from the eyes of top monks, they Already ran into a problem.

"Did they encounter a problem?" Qin Boran asked the proud landlord beside him.

"The sense of smell has already begun to be affected." The landlord proudly answered Qin Boran's doubts in his heart, ignoring Xiaoyue who was beginning to be curious about this grand event, and said: "Such a strong smell, we are so far apart. Can smell it, let alone Ye Shixiu and Zhu Zhi who bear the brunt of it?"

Xiaoyue couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "But this smell is not smelly? Isn't it only the smell that affects people?"

The proud landlord glanced at her lightly, which made little Xiaoyue a little scared, but there was nothing in the proud landlord's eyes, disgust, hatred... She didn't know any of these emotions that Xiaoyue knew that meant hating a person. seen in the eyes of

There was nothing in the proud landlord's eyes, but she still explained to Xiaoyue: "This calming fragrance is the most terrifying, because things that are not threatening are often the most dangerous."

Xiaoyue didn't understand this sentence, but Qin Boran turned his head to look at the proud landlord when he heard this sentence.

The proud landlord didn't care about Qin Boran's gaze, but asked him: "Brother, do you guess how many herbs are in the dustpan provided by Lord Duo Ling?"

"Is this question important?" Qin Boran snorted coldly, not willing to talk to Deyi Louzhu. What Deyi Louzhu did has completely broken the image of Deyi Louzhu in his mind, and it is impossible to rebuild it.

"Of course it's important." The proud landlord doesn't care about Qin Boran's opinion: "The answer to this question can tell you how much chance you have when you face Duo Lingjun."

"Jun Ling's cultivation is comparable to that of Jin Buhuan. Is it possible that I am their opponent?"

"Then have you seen the flaws of Lord Duo Ling?" The proud host asked him: "You have been in contact with Lord Duo Ling quite a few times, so why didn't you discover anything?"

"What should I find out?" Qin Boran frowned.

"Brother, do you know that in the small town under the Evil Ghost Zong Mountain, all the people disappeared overnight." The proud host looked at Qin Boran who suddenly trembled and continued: "That place has now become One of the altars of the Evil Ghost Sect."

"What do you want to say?" Qin Boran couldn't help trembling all over his body. He had never seen Duo Lingjun in his previous life, and his understanding of Duo Lingjun only came from the historical records that have been tampered with countless times. Tens of thousands of years ago A loser, who would waste too much ink on him?

Even his opponent, Fengtian King Mo Wuying, is nothing more than leaving a place of infamy without knowing the truth or falsehood.

The old enemy that Kuangshi met, in the historian's writing, turned out to be a down-and-out ending by different routes, which is really embarrassing.

"If Lord Duo Ling is Lord Duo Ling, why did he agree to give Jiuxizong a chance?"

"If Duo Lingjun is the one who promised to give the Nine Breath Sect a chance, why can he kill the people of a town without blinking an eye and use unborn babies to open blood for the altar?"

"820 seven lives in the world, 33 unborn babies, who did they lose their lives for?"

Qin Boran looked at the proud landlord, and things that he couldn't understand in the past formed a thread in his mind. Duo Lingjun wanted to kill Helian Yingdou and left Helian Yingdou with a glimmer of hope, but Duo Lingjun hated Jiuxi Sect but He also promised to give Jiuxizong a chance, and even appeared on the periphery of the Xianlingwu Pagoda?

If Duo Lingjun is just a cruel demon killer, then how can he explain his last kindness?

If Duo Lingjun is really a decent master, why did he let the disciples of the Evil Ghost Sect slaughter the world?

How to resolve this contradiction?

"Is it true that Duo Lingjun is the same as Helian Yingdou, two people."

"Wrong." The proud host showed a regretful look: "Brother, what are you running away from?"

Qin Boran's face was stiff, and he heard Xie Fangchen say to himself: "You opened the formation of nine stars and one line, you should have known what Helian Yingdou would encounter, it's not that you don't know everything, you just chose to escape , you just seal up your own memory, pretending it didn’t happen, you know very well, Helian Yingdou is two people, who is Duo Lingjun, it has been written clearly in the ancient book you got Isn't it?"

"You really have the ability to drive people crazy!" Qin Boran snorted coldly, unwilling to look at the proud host again, and forced himself to shift his gaze to Ye Shixiu and Zhu Zhiwen who were still competing.

"I'm kind." The proud host sighed, looking very disappointed: "Your time is running out."

"You don't need to remind me." Qin Boran felt his heart beating fast: "The you now make me feel very annoying."

"Please rest assured, after helping you with the last thing, I swear that I will never appear in front of your eyes."

"You have such kindness?"

"Who told you that you are my elder brother?" The proud landlord sighed: "If not, why do I have to appear in front of you again and again, big brother, do you really think I have nothing to do?"

"do you have?"

The proud landlord blinked, and looked at Qin Boran suspiciously: "No?"

Not wanting to get entangled with the proud landlord on this issue, Qin Boran looked at the venue and did not leave his eyes. He knew that the proud landlord was telling the truth, he was telling the truth, and he could feel his heart beating wildly, but because of the small Because of Yue, he really has no way to be kind to the proud landlord.

The proud landlord looks at the problem differently from him. After thinking for a long time, Qin Boran has the answer. He still doesn’t know Helianfeixi, but he will use all means to change Helianfeixi, as long as he grasps Take the lead, what can't be changed?

But the proud landlord is different. The proud landlord firmly believes that only by cutting the grass and roots can we avoid future troubles forever.

"Brother, you've been digressing for a long time, should I tell you how many herbs are in those two dustpans?"

"With Duo Lingjun as a person, it is impossible to only have a hundred herbs." Qin Boran said: "Otherwise, what's the fun of this competition?"

"Then how much should there be?"

"One hundred and one."

"Then I can only say that you only know one-tenth of Duo Lingjun."
