But Chen Guhong has a delicate heart, and it can be seen that Xue Taoyuan doesn't want to mention it more. Then I thought, "Let's talk about it later when I get more familiar with it."
Immediately, Xue Taoyuan and Chen Guhong walked into the shop where medicinal herbs were purchased.
The shop is quite big, and the signboard is also "Extreme Grade Medicinal Medicine". There are several shopkeepers in the shop, but they are all men. There were also a few customers in the shop, all of them looked weather-stained and dusty.
There is also a slight smell of blood coming from the body.
Needless to say, they are all immortal cultivators who came back from fighting outside. And several shopkeepers are busy identifying a bunch of things, including some plant medicinal materials, some monster bones, gallbladder and other medicinal materials.
"Teacher Xue."
"Teacher Xue."
Seeing Xue Taoyuan coming in, no matter the shopkeepers or the guests showed respect and saluted respectfully. No matter who is willing to offend an alchemy apprentice, the shopkeepers are afraid of losing their jobs, and the medicines brought by the guests are all identified by the alchemy apprentice, so it can be said that they have the power of life and death.
All in all, it is popular wherever you go.
Facing these people, Xue Taoyuan was a little reserved and just nodded lightly. Immediately afterwards, Chen Guhong was introduced to everyone. Hearing that it was another teacher, the guests and shopkeepers all called "Teacher Chen", not daring to underestimate Chen Guhong's cultivation level in the early stage of thick soil.
As an alchemy apprentice, communication is never the theme.
They are like pure white cranes, always maintaining a posture above everyone else. Therefore, after Xue Taoyuan just gave a light introduction, he taught Chen Guhong to identify the medicinal materials on his own.
If you want to identify medicinal materials, you have to read books first. The books in the world of cultivating immortals are also special. The ring in Xue Taoyuan's hand flashed away, then he took out a piece of jade, and smiled at Chen Guhong: "Come on, first put Taoism into the jade piece, and get to know us There are 15,000 kinds of first-class medicinal materials common in the world of cultivating immortals."
"Okay." Chen Guhong nodded. Accept the jade piece, and then enter the Taoist practice. For him who is extremely intelligent, it is only a blink of an eye to memorize these more than 15,000 kinds of first-class medicinal materials.
Then, Chen Guhong returned the jade piece to Xue Taoyuan. Xue Taoyuan was not surprised by the intelligence of this junior, so he took back the jade piece, and began to carefully teach Chen Guhong to identify medicinal materials.
Let's start with the medicinal materials sold by those few customers.
Chen Guhong originally thought that life would be like this, alchemy apprentices would identify medicinal ingredients, then accumulate experience and become alchemists. correct. Maybe I have to ask Xue Taoyuan why he is still identifying medicinal materials after five years.
However, he still underestimated the influence of the alchemy apprentice. Not long after, his becoming an alchemy apprentice spread like wildfire, and his house was found out.
From time to time, small families or individual cultivators came to pay a visit, and there was absolutely no empty-handed person in their hands. They are all fairy stones, or various precious things.
Some people even sent their daughters to Chen Guhong as concubines.
To use a rustic word to describe it, it is waving a lot of banknotes. To curry favor with Chen Guhong. But Chen Guhong's temperament is still a bit of a scholar's temper, and he will not be rewarded for nothing.
For these filial piety with various purposes, all shirk. But this indifference can't stop the enthusiasm of these people, maybe it's also thinking. "Could it be that this alchemy apprentice has a high vision and doesn't like the gift we gave?"
Those small families, or individual cultivators raised their prices one after another, regardless of whether it was immortal stones. There are still double copies of expensive things.
Some people even send flowers to sisters when they send their daughters.
His new home in Guiyuan City was almost broken through the threshold. Chen Guhong was really disturbed by others, so he left Dabai behind. Xiaoqing and Gaozhuang are practicing in their new home.
He said hello to Xue Taoyuan, and took Yuanyuan to live in the shop where the medicinal materials were purchased. This made it much quieter, but occasionally Chen Guhong would still send Yuanyuan out to buy ingredients, because knowing that she was the alchemy apprentice's maid, someone would show affection to Yuanyuan.
The base of Yuanyuan's ears became restless, and she couldn't complain.
All in all, that's how life goes. Chen Guhong was studying the identification of medicinal materials, and was receiving the fairy stone and the pill as a monthly salary, and flew with Yuanyuan, Gaozhuang, Dabai, and Xiaoqing.
Started the initial popular drink spicy.
The primordial spirit in his mind finally made ends meet because of this large amount of property supplement. There is no need to absorb the Tao and deeds from him to supplement the primordial spirit.
His Taoism, which he had not advanced for three years, began to grow slowly again, which is gratifying.
Soon, Chen Guhong stayed in this shop where medicinal herbs were purchased for more than half a year. Although the cultivation base is still in the early stage of thick soil, he is already a tyrannical one among them, has accumulated a huge amount of Taoism, and can enter the middle stage of thick soil at any time.
As for the 15,000 kinds of common first-class medicinal materials, Chen Guhong learned more than 1,000 of them. It's not slow, but because there are only a thousand kinds of common first-class medicinal materials produced in Guiyuan Xiancheng.
Therefore, Chen Guhong became absent-minded. In the past six months, his relationship with Xue Taoyuan has become closer and more familiar.
Immortal cultivators may not eat five grains, but like Chen Guhong, there are quite a few people who have appetites. Therefore, there are taverns in the city. After get off work that day, Chen Guhong invited Xue Taoyuan to have dinner together. After drinking for three rounds, Chen Guhong asked Xue Taoyuan: "Brother, I have been here for half a year, and I am almost ready to identify medicinal materials. When can I learn alchemy from the teacher?"
Xue Taoyuan didn't want to mention the bitterness in his heart. But after all, he got along with Chen Guhong for half a year, and after drinking for three rounds, he was a little intoxicated. Xue Taoyuan showed bitterness and said, "Do you still remember what I told you, that I have been studying the identification of medicinal materials for five years?"
"Remember." Chen Guhong nodded.
"Alchemy requires 'alchemy'. The alchemy records the distribution of medicinal materials and the sequence of alchemy. This is called the method of alchemy. The teacher does not intend to teach me the method of alchemy, he just intends to let me be his assistant to help identify It's just medicinal materials." Xue Taoyuan expressed the bitterness in his heart through the drunkenness.
"How could this happen?" Chen Guhong was surprised, he couldn't believe that Jin Danchen, who had a good impression on him, would actually do this.
"If you can pass the alchemy apprentice test, you are eligible to become a first-level alchemist, and this qualification is very high. Basically, 70% to 80% of people can do it. But the number of first-level alchemists is still small. That's because of these The first-level alchemist hides this trick. There is a folk saying, 'Teach the apprentice, starve the master.' In order to maintain his own status and reduce the number of first-level alchemists, he will not teach us."
Xue Taoyuan shook his head and sighed.
"There is such a thing." Chen Guhong thought it was a fantasy at the beginning, but it made sense after careful consideration. First-level alchemists are so respected, if you catch a lot of them, you won't be able to enjoy the supreme glory.
It's no wonder those first-level alchemists have hidden such a trick.
"But won't we never have the chance to become a first-class alchemist?" Chen Guhong scratched his head, feeling that he was in trouble.
"Yes, learn secretly." Xue Taoyuan said.
"Stealing?" Chen Guhong's expression changed.
"In the past five years, my teacher has called me over many times, and told me to observe the training process of the three kinds of pills: Body Refining Pill, Xinggong Pill, and Mingshen Pill. Because if you want to become a first-level alchemist, you must at least The most important thing is to be able to practice these three first-level elixir. So we have the qualifications to steal it."
Xue Taoyuan said, paused, and Xue Taoyuan said bitterly: "But my understanding is still low, and I failed to learn by stealing. Now that I think about it, he also knows that I can't learn, so he is so generous to let me observe. Now I I have already given up my mind, holding on to the identity of an alchemy apprentice, I am accumulating a large sum of immortal stones. Then I will buy alchemy recipes from others. I hope that in a few decades, I can become a first-class alchemist."
