Xiaoqing responded crisply, bowed slightly with a slender figure and squatted down, before turning around and going to the kitchen to get the medicinal materials.
Xia Yan said again: "Forget it, let me go to the kitchen, you continue to play with those flowers, let them emit more fragrance. Smelling these fragrances makes me feel good."
While speaking, Xia Yan smiled and pointed to the colorful flowers in the courtyard.
Xiaoqing was overjoyed when he heard the words, clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Young master also likes flowers?!"
In fact, Xia Yan is not interested in these flowers and plants. In the past, there was only one purple tung tree in his yard, and he had never taken care of it himself. However, the vitality of the purple tung tree was very tenacious, and it slowly grew branches by itself. Leafy.
Slightly taken aback, Xia Yan blinked his eyes, and said awkwardly, "Well, I like it!"
…
When he arrived in the kitchen, Xia Yan saw the medicinal materials in the cabinet at a glance, turned around and closed the kitchen door, and then took out the medicinal materials in the cabinet and arranged them neatly, as well as the century-old four-eared orchids he just bought.
This mere dozen or so herbs cost Xia Yan more than 1,000 gold coins, which is extremely expensive!
"Old Holy Emperor?!"
Xia Yan called softly.
In the past, the old man Shenghuang took the initiative to show up, and Xia Yan didn't know how to summon the old man Shenghuang. At this time, the medicinal materials were ready, so it was natural to ask him to come out and teach him how to use the medicinal materials to prepare the required potions.
But after shouting, the old man Shenghuang didn't show up for a long time. Xia Yan couldn't help being a little anxious. In order to buy these medicinal materials, he even went to the Extreme Challenge venue. The day after tomorrow, he will continue to challenge the intermediate challenger. Before challenging the mid-level challenger, Xia Yan was still in negative equity. He owed the challenge venue 1,500 gold coins!
"Old Sacred Emperor?!" Xia Yan let out a breath as he rolled his eyes. This time, Xia Yan shouted silently in his heart, but did not make a sound.
"What are you looking for?!"
The figure of the old man Shenghuang gradually condensed in the air, and appeared in front of Xia Yan. Xia Yan was overjoyed, pointed to the medicinal materials neatly placed on the table and said: "I have prepared all the medicinal materials you want, what should I do?" What about the configuration?!"
The wrinkles on the old man's face moved, his eyebrows raised, and he took a look at Xia Yan before saying in a low voice, "When preparing medicines, you must not make a mistake in the order, and you must not add the wrong amount of each medicine. .Otherwise, the prepared medicine may be less effective, or even have side effects.”
Xia Yan nodded hurriedly.
According to what the old man Shenghuang said, Xia Yan first ground several kinds of medicinal materials into powder, squeezed out the juice and put them in porcelain bottles, then divided them into respective portions, and meticulously matched them in different order.
The entire process of dispensing the medicine took a full two hours. After the medicine was prepared, Xia Yan even broke out in sweat. It's just so difficult to make simple medicines, let alone refining medicines. No wonder there are so few pharmacists in the world.
Xia Yan sniffed and smelled that there was a faint fragrance in the potion.
"In the evening, you pour the potion into the bathtub, and soak in it for an hour. Pay attention to running the mental method of the Lingluo Secret Code, so that the mental method can cooperate with the absorption of the medicine." The old man of the holy emperor explained solemnly.
At the critical moment, the old man Shenghuang would never make a big joke, his seriousness made Xia Yan unable to resist from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the twelve porcelain vases that had been prepared, a smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yan's mouth, and he said, "I remember."
"Also, after using this potion once, you must not use it a second time within three days." The old man Shenghuang nodded and said again.
"I understand." Xia Yan replied again.
After finishing speaking, the old man Shenghuang returned to his original expression, as if he was a different person, he shook his head and looked around in an absurd and unruly manner.
"You seem to be different here!" The old man Shenghuang looked at Xia Yan with a joke and smiled.
Xia Yan knew what he was referring to. It used to be dilapidated, but now it looks brand new.
"It was the patriarch who asked him to change, and I can't refuse." Xia Yan said.
"Haha, why did you refuse? Wouldn't it be better to live more comfortably? Kid, the challenge is really good, and it will be very helpful for your cultivation." The old man Shenghuang knew what happened to Xia Yan like the back of his hand, and he knew Xia Yan went to the Extreme Challenge venue.
Xia Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he immediately returned to normal. He originally guessed that the old man Shenghuang should know everything about him, but now it is just confirmed.
Xia Yan put away the twelve exquisite bottles on the table and said: "Those champions and challengers are too weak to be my opponents."
The champions and challengers who fought against Xia Yan yesterday did not allow Xia Yan to show his true strength. Although his understanding of Xia Yan's martial arts was helpful to a certain extent, he was not very happy.
The old man Shenghuang stared, and said: "You boy, does your small achievement now make your eyes high and your hands low? Hmph, you don't even have an entry level now, and there is still a long way to go in the future."
The old man Shenghuang made a gesture to hit Xia Yan, but Xia Yan didn't even blink his eyes.
"Ah? No entry yet?!" Xia Yan knew that the old man Shenghuang was only a body of the soul, and it was impossible to hit him, but what the old man Shenghuang said made his body tremble.
Ever since all the martial arts meridians in his body were opened up, and the Lingluo sword was fused by refining his mind, Xia Yan has always felt that his strength is quite good. But now the old man Shenghuang said that he didn't even get started.
"Hmph, what do you think? You are just laying the foundation now, and you will meet countless strong people in the future. If you have a proud heart, you will suffer a loss sooner or later. Your Lingluo Sword is now the strongest. If you meet a real master, you will be completely defeated if you can't even make a move." The old man Shenghuang's eyes widened, he blew his beard, and walked around the table.
Xia Yan was shocked in his heart, calmed down immediately, and said in a concentrated voice: "I will definitely work hard, and I will never underestimate my enemy."
In fact, Xia Yan is not proud, what he said just now is just a momentary elation of the young man. He was only fifteen years old, no matter how calm he was, he would not be able to keep his expression on before Mount Tai collapsed, and now he was in front of the old man Sheng Huang, so he had no defense at all.
Hearing this, the old man Shenghuang nodded and gave Xia Yan an approving look.
"Swish..."
After a short while, the old man of the Holy Emperor disappeared without a trace again and entered the Lingluo Ring.
Xia Yan cleaned up the kitchen before opening the door and going out. At this time, the sky was already dark, and there was a red cloud in the distance, which was very beautiful.
Suddenly a figure flashed, Xiao Qing appeared in front of Xia Yan from nowhere, she had been waiting for Xia Yan outside for more than two hours, she didn't know what Xia Yan was doing in the kitchen, and she didn't dare to knock on the door to disturb her.
Originally, she thought that the young master was cooking for himself when he was hungry, but she didn't feel like it, and walked around in the courtyard, but she didn't dare to knock on the door.
Seeing Xiaoqing appearing in front of him, Xia Yan remembered that in the past two hours, he had completely forgotten about Xiaoqing.
Xia Yan looked at the pretty and lovely Xiaoqing, and said awkwardly: "Xiaoqing, have you been waiting for me outside the door? Next time when I practice, you don't have to wait for me, just do what you have to do, it's okay Just go back to the room to rest. You didn't disturb my cultivation just now, you did a good job, you must not disturb me when I am practicing, or you may hurt me!"
Xia Yan coaxed and lied, at this time, Xia Yan really felt a little bit guilty.
Xiaoqing listened to what Xia Yan said, but she believed it firmly. She patted her chest, her eyes kept rolling, and she was glad that she didn't disturb the young master's cultivation just now. She opened her small mouth and smiled like a small crescent moon and said: "Master, are you hungry? I'll cook for you. Xiaoqing's cooking skills are very good."
