Yun Ruoyan was naturally unaware of An's conspiracy, she was still immersed in her own cultivation.
After greeting the Liu family early in the morning, Yun Ruoyan went to the Lin family.
Lin Zainan, Lin Qingchen, and Lin Qingxue were already ready and waiting for Yun Ruoyan's arrival.
As soon as Yun Ruoyan entered the door, she began the ceremony of apprenticeship.
In the Lin family pharmacy, Lin Zainan sat at the main seat, while Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen stood on both sides. Yun Ruoyan knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row as she said that her apprentice was visiting her master.
Lin Zainan repeatedly said good disciple to get up quickly, with a face full of smiles.
Yun Ruoyan stood up and took the wine cup from Lin Qingchen, stepped forward to offer it to Lin Zainan, and Lin Zainan took it and drank it down in one gulp.
After the ceremony.
"Good boy, from now on you will not only be the granddaughter of my Lin Zainan, but also the first disciple with a different surname in our Lin family in a hundred years, and the last closed disciple of my Lin Zainan."
Lin Zainan stroked his white beard, his tone was very proud, he was very satisfied with his apprentice.
"Sister Ruoyan, oh no..." Lin Qingxue put her hands behind her hands mischievously, and pretended to say, "Junior Sister Ruoyan, hurry up and see Senior Sister."
Yun Ruoyan walked up to her with a smile, and stretched out her hand to pinch her chubby face.
"Ouch! Sister Ruoyan, be gentle!" Lin Qingxue yelled in pain.
The Lin family pharmacy, which had been lonely and deserted for a long time, burst into laughter.
After paying homage to the teacher, Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue sent Lin Zainan back to do their homework, and Yun Ruoyan was about to start her first lesson in pharmacist practice.
Lin Zainan placed the herbs prepared in advance on the medicine table, pointed to one of them and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Yesterday, Lin Zainan passed Yun Ruoyan a secret book on the formula of elixir, and asked her to go back and memorize it. Today's first lesson will start with a test on how well she memorizes it.
Yun Ruoyan saw that the medicine was light red, and there were little blue flowers on the branch that she pulled out, but she had seen it in the secret realm.
"This is the Celestial Star Grass, which can be refined to cure internal injuries." Yun Ruoyan opened her mouth and replied.
Lin Zainan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked her about several herbs, and Yun Ruoyan answered them all skillfully.
"Very good, then we will start refining the medicine, and you can watch me operate it first."
As Lin Zainan spoke, he led Yun Ruoyan to the medicine stove in the middle of the pharmacy refining room. This medicine stove was half a person's height, and the bronze color could reflect a person's shadow. There are four hollow unicorn carvings around the furnace body, which are lifelike.
Because of the long-term refining of medicine, the fragrance of medicine emitted from the medicine furnace can be smelled from a long distance.
"This medicine furnace has been passed down in our Yun family for three generations. Although it is not top-grade, it is quite spiritual. The effect of refining medicine is by no means inferior to that of a top-grade medicine furnace." Lin Zainan introduced.
Yun Ruoyan stretched out her hand to caress the refining furnace, feeling the warmth from it.
Since she was a child, she watched her grandfather sit in front of this refining furnace refining medicine, and never thought that she would use this refining furnace to refine medicine one day.
Standing in front of the medicine stove, Lin Zainan instantly exuded an aura that only a master can have.
I saw his arms stretched out into a semicircle, and the red spirit mist overflowed from the palm of his hand.
Although his cultivation level has decreased, his decades of refining medicine have made his movements and operations smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.
When the spiritual mist turned into a whirlwind in front of him, he put his hands together and pushed forward, and the whirlwind of spiritual mist was instantly pushed into the furnace body through the hollow carvings on the medicine stove.
With a sound of "boom", orange flames exploded in the furnace body. In the flames, the four Qilin beasts seemed to come to life, and they all stared and bared their teeth as if they wanted to choose someone and devour them.
The orange fire light coated Lin Zainan's white hair, white beard and white eyebrows with a fire-like color, making him not look like a mortal in the world, but like a nine-day fairy.
"Ruoyan, come here."
Lin Zainan waved to Yun Ruoyan, who was standing aside in a daze, and said, "The medicine stove has spirituality. Each of us has its own spirit fire. Before using the medicine stove for the first time, we need to let the medicine stove get familiar with ours. breath."
At Lin Zainan's request, Yun Ruoyan cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood into the medicine stove, and the orange flames jumped upwards as if cheering.
"It's done!" Lin Zainan said: "Look carefully, the next thing I'm going to refine is the low-level elixir, the Huntian Pill."
Yun Ruoyan backed away, Lin Zainan stretched out his hand towards the medicine table, and the star grass flew into his palm, he pushed forward, and the day star grass floated onto the medicine stove.
The flame in the medicine stove roasted the herbs through the opening above the medicine stove, and Lin Zainan threw in three or four more herbs of different types and quantities one after another.
Then, he stepped back and sat cross-legged in front of the medicine stove, stretched his hands into the medicine stove, and injected the fire attribute spiritual mist.
"Control the size of the spiritual fire in the medicine furnace by controlling the injection of the spiritual mist until the elixir is refined."
Lin Zainan fixed his eyes on the spiritual fire in the medicine furnace and the medicinal herbs floating above the medicine furnace, and said to Yun Ruoyan: "Refining medicine depends on understanding and hard work, both of which are indispensable. The so-called master leading the door to practice depends on personal."
Yun Ruoyan watched the four kinds of spirit grass on the medicine stove begin to change slowly in color and shape under the roasting of the spirit fire.
And with the changes of the medicinal herbs, the spiritual fire in the medicine stove also became bigger and smaller, turning red now and then red again.
After about a stick of incense, those herbal medicines slowly turned into a viscous substance, and then slowly fused together to form a spherical shape.
The spherical substance slowly rotated and changed on the medicine stove, and finally became a khaki longan-sized elixir.
A strong medicinal fragrance emanated with the final formation of the elixir.
Lin Zainan stretched out his hands, and the elixir floated into his palm from the medicine stove.
Without the injection of spiritual mist, the spiritual fire in the refining furnace was slowly extinguished, and the pharmacy dimmed again.
"Huntian pill is ready." Lin Zainan smiled and looked at Yun Ruoyan.
It was only then that Yun Ruoyan realized that Lin Zainan's originally ruddy complexion was a little pale at this moment, and although his brows and eyes were smiling, he couldn't hide his tired look.
"Grandfather." Yun Ruoyan felt sour in her heart, and hurried forward to help Lin Zainan.
"I'm old, I can't do it anymore."
Lin Zainan said with a smile: "Back then, I could refine thirty-two low-grade elixir and four middle-grade elixir without eating, drinking, or sleeping for three days in a row."
Yun Ruoyan felt sore when she thought that Lin Zainan had dropped from a fifth-level pharmacist to a third-level cultivation for herself.
You know, Lin Zainan spent half his life cultivating those two levels of cultivation, but he was willing to give up for Yun Ruoyan. This kind of kindness made Yun Ruoyan feel that nothing could be repaid.
"Grandfather, you will never grow old in Ruoyan's heart, and you will always be the most powerful." Yun Ruoyan said while supporting Lin Zainan's arm.
Lin Zainan was once again blindfolded with a smile. In his heart, he could have a descendant who was stronger than himself to inherit his mantle, and who could help support the Lin family's century-old family business after a hundred years. The two levels of cultivation are much more important.
Besides, this descendant is still his own grandson, how could this make him unhappy.
Yun Ruoyan helped Lin Zainan to the outside of the alchemy room, she poured Lin Zainan a cup of tea, Lin Zainan only took a sip, and then hurriedly spread out the round earthy yellow pill in his hand Yun Ruoyan looked at it.
Yun Ruoyan knew about the Huntian Pill. Its effect was to help practitioners quickly condense spiritual energy to reach the level of a third-level swordsman in the early stage of cultivation.
However, practitioners who practiced using the Huntian Pill were often stagnant at the fifth level of the Sword Master, and it was difficult to make a breakthrough, so this low-grade elixir was widely used in the guards and the army. On the Shenyuan Continent, the supply is also in short supply.
Lin Zainan told Yun Ruoyan that elixir can be divided into three grades according to the refining materials, the spiritual power contained in it, and the efficacy, low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.
And each grade can be divided into three grades according to the quality: excellent products, good products and inferior products.
"Look at this Huntian Pill, it's bright in color, round and plump in shape, and has a strong medicinal fragrance, which can be called top-grade." Lin Zainan put the pill in his hand in front of Yun Ruoyan's eyes, and taught her how to judge the quality of the elixir.
"Based on the elixir, it can be seen that the pharmacist's cultivation is not enough. If the pharmacist's cultivation is not enough and he forcibly refines a high-grade elixir, even if it is refined, it must be inferior. It ended in failure."
Yun Ruoyan took the pill from Lin Zainan's hand and put it into the pill box. If the elixir is exposed to the air for a long time, its spiritual power will be easily lost.
"Does that Wang Meng want to buy your elixir because he wants to see your cultivation?" Yun Ruoyan closed the medicine box and asked.
Lin Zainan sat on the teacher's chair, stroking his white beard and frowning.
"That boy from the Wang family is indeed a rare genius in refining medicine. I have heard some rumors about him over the years. It is said that he has an ability in urine since he was a child. He can use vision, smell and touch to refine a pill After observing and analyzing, we can find out the material of this elixir, the refining method, and the heat used."
Yun Ruoyan couldn't help being a little surprised that someone has such an ability, isn't that a living secret book of refining medicine
"It is said that this kid has already gone into a state of madness when refining medicine."
Lin Zainan couldn't help but said in a serious voice: "Ruoyan, although you are also very talented, it is not an easy task to win him, and you need to work harder."
Yun Ruoyan looked at Lin Zainan and said with the same serious expression: "Grandfather, Ruoyan will definitely not let you down!"
