Chapter 550, New World 02
After watching Zhicheng leave, Mei Xue and He Anze started studying again.
I don’t know if He Anze has talent in this area, but the research has been completed for most of the time.
After finding some more materials, I think he will be able to make a storage bag.
"Anze, does the book Xiao Jin gave you mention what materials are needed?" Mei Xue looked at these half-finished products with a look of regret.
"Yes, the most important one is the Kongming Stone, but I don't know what it looks like." He Anze was also very troubled by this.
At this time, Xiao Jin came out of He Anze's mind, "Master, the Kongming Stone is a stone from outer space. You can ask the people here to see if anyone knows it." Xiao Jin is a spirit. It can come out when it wants to. If it doesn't want to see people, it will hide in He Anze's sea of consciousness.
"How should I ask?" He Anze was very troubled. "Ask if they have the materials to make storage bags?" He is a man with a wife and grandchildren. What if someone is targeting him?
Mei Xue looked at Xiao Jin, "Can you show us what it looks like?" There are many mountains and forests in her space, maybe she can find one or two?
Xiao Jin really wanted to say that all the Kongming Stones looked different, and even if he took them out thousands of times, he might not be able to find another one that was the same.
It was a little afraid of its mistress, so it obediently transformed itself into the appearance of Kongmingshi.
After seeing the appearance of the stone, Mei Xue's mouth twitched, "I've been working on it for half a month, and it turns out this is all I'm missing." After saying that, Mei Xue flipped her hand and took out a stone from the space.
"Xiao Jin, look, is this the Kongming Stone?" Mei Xue handed the stone to Xiao Jin and said.
After seeing the stone, Xiao Jin couldn't close his mouth anymore.
"Master, master, master, this is the Kongming Stone." Xiao Jin shouted excitedly.
Fortunately, there are formations here, otherwise it would definitely alarm the people around.
"Shut up, Xiao Jin." He Anze just felt a headache because of Xiao Jin's yelling.
"Xiaoxue, where did you get this thing?" He Anze asked after taking the stone.
"You don't remember, this is a stone mountain in the deep mountains where the dragons live, and these are the stones on it." Mei Xue said, looking inward at the space.
She has a whole mountain of this stone.
But she didn't know that these were the Kongming Stones that Xiao Jin mentioned.
Xiao Jin was also dumbfounded. He was frightened when he heard what the hostess said, "A whole mountain, my God, master, we are rich." Space storage devices are very rare no matter what era.
Not to mention in this era, even in ancient times, it would be a hot commodity.
"What do you mean we made it? I made it." After He Anze got the raw materials, he also started joking with Xiao Jin.
It was a rare occasion for Mei Xue to see He Anze and Xiao Jin joking around, so she just watched them and smiled.
"Master, are you and I separate from each other? What's yours is mine." Xiao Jin protested there with grievance.
Unexpectedly, He Anze shook his head after hearing what it said, "No, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine." He said to Xiao Jin seriously.
Mei Xue couldn't stand it any longer, "Stop it, now that we have the raw materials, why don't we go practice the space bag."
He Anze listened to Mei Xue's words very much. He immediately dived into the space and started practicing his space bag.
Xiao Jin was left outside by He Anze because he was afraid that Xiaoxue would be bored.
"Xiao Jin, do you have any books for Zhicheng to read? I don't have any books for him to read." Mei Xue was sitting in the yard, looking at Xiao Jin floating in the air and asked.
Xiao Jin survived from ancient times, so I think he must have a lot of inheritance.
Of course, an old monster that has been around for so many years must have a lot of good things.
Xiao Jin did not hide it. He had realized in recent days that apart from the medical book, the hostess really had nothing to teach Zhicheng.
He has been thinking these days whether he should give some things to Zhicheng.
The hostess just opened her mouth, so what else did he have to hide? "Yes, I have quite a few books on alchemy, but they are all things left over from ancient times. It's just right for Zhicheng to learn this."
"Then pass it to Zhicheng when he comes back. I always feel like something might happen to him when he's out lately." Mei Xue frowned.
And Zhicheng, as they call him, has his reasons for going out every day.
Because his parents were not around him since he was young, his mind is more mature than that of ordinary children.
He wanted to improve his cultivation, but since he had wood spiritual roots, he was stronger than others in alchemy, so he intentionally put more pressure on himself.
I hope that after I can make the elixir, I can use it to find my parents.
Children, how can you not miss your parents?
"Boss, why are there no flowers of life?" After wandering around the pharmacy for a long time, Zhicheng came to the shopkeeper and asked.
There are no alchemists in the Tang Kingdom. Even if there are, they are in the capital. At least there are none in their city now.
Ordinary people go to pharmacies to see a doctor, but doctors are the ones who cure diseases.
There is no alchemist.
There isn't even any first-grade one.
The shopkeeper recognized the boy and often came to him to buy some medicinal materials for beginners in alchemy.
The spiritual root is quite good, it is a wood spiritual root.
Why can't others see Zhicheng's mutated spiritual roots? It's because Xiao Jin has sealed Zhicheng, and it can't be seen unless one's cultivation reaches the stage of distraction.
Normally, everyone treats wood roots as treasures, but Zhicheng's elders are also masters, and he, a herbalist, wouldn't dare to have any bad intentions.
"The living flowers were all bought out a few days ago, and no one has delivered any in the past two days. How about you take a look at the other ones, or I'll notify you when the goods arrive?" The shopkeeper said to the young Taoist friend very kindly.
Zhicheng frowned. It was not that he needed much, but he had few medicinal materials left to make first-grade pills. If he did not prepare them, he would not be able to go into seclusion in the next few days.
"How many days do we have to wait?" Zhicheng asked.
"It may take another three days. Ningguo has been restless recently, incidents often occur in Luoxia Forest, and medicinal materials are hard to find." Businessmen are most afraid of war. What can he do?
Zhicheng certainly knew that the two countries were fighting over resources, but he didn't expect it to become as chaotic as it is now.
"Then there is no movement in the City Lord's Mansion?" Although Zhicheng is young, his IQ is no lower than his father's.
The shopkeeper rarely had someone to talk to, so he took Zhicheng to where he usually rested.
"You don't know, the City Lord's Mansion did want to, but I heard that someone from above came a few days ago." Who can do business in such a chaotic place is an ordinary person?
Zhicheng pretended to be a big shot and talked seriously to the shopkeeper.
"who?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and was unwilling to say anything, but he pointed to the sky and formed the word "royal" with his mouth.
Zhicheng is not stupid. He watched a lot of TV when he was in the city. If he didn't understand what the shopkeeper meant.
"Does that person know the current situation outside?" Zhicheng frowned and asked.
"That's unknown, but the City Lord's Mansion has been looking for medicine recently, and the herbs you want have basically been bought by the City Lord's Mansion."
He was not a doctor, so he really had no idea what was going on inside. However, judging from the medicinal materials, it was obvious that there were capable people inside, at least a pharmacist.
Although there is only one word difference between Lian Shiyao and Lian Danshi, the gap between the two is more than just one word.
Anyone who studies medicine can become a pharmacist, and there is only one in ten thousand chance that a pharmacist wants to become an alchemist.
"I see. I wonder if the shopkeeper could tell the City Lord's Mansion how to buy the medicine?" A city is so small that several clinics are connected.
The shopkeeper told the young Taoist friend in front of him about all the medicinal herbs sold in his shop. Of course, he would also be a good person.
He also shared the news he had learned with Zhicheng.
Zhicheng was not an ignorant person. He immediately understood what the shopkeeper meant and bowed to express his gratitude.
After analyzing the medicinal materials, Zhicheng quickly thought of a medicine, but he was a little curious. If the medicine was so simple, why did he need to buy so many medicinal materials?
He had been able to practice that medicine when he was five years old, let alone now.
"Boss, do you know what kind of medicine they want to make?" Zhicheng is not stupid, so of course he won't say it directly.
"What else could it be? From these medicinal materials, we can tell that the pharmacist wants to make Shengji Pills. Unfortunately, the prescription is incomplete. Even a second-grade alchemist cannot make it."
The shopkeeper really treated Zhicheng as his good friend.
The shopkeeper had been feeling very depressed these days, and he finally found someone who could listen to him and talk about his troubles.
"I don't know what crime that important person committed to be banished to this war-torn place." The shopkeeper said with pity.
"What else could it be? What else is there to fight for in the royal family except that position?" Zhicheng rolled his eyes and said with disdain.
If it were him, he would not be interested in the throne. He would rather practice more instead. The world is so prosperous, why bother to settle for a single place?
The shopkeeper saw Zhicheng's reaction, and he looked at Zhicheng with even higher regard for it.
"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you are an alchemist?" After trying to curry favor with him for so long, the shopkeeper finally found out his main purpose.
Zhicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, I haven't entered yet." Who would tell the truth when you are away from home?
At least he is better than those worshipped pharmacists.
"I think the shopkeeper has also figured out that I bought these medicinal herbs just to make first-grade elixirs. Unfortunately, most of the time I failed and never succeeded at all." Zhicheng said with a dejected look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, don't lose confidence. You are still young, and you have wood spiritual roots, so you can't give up. So, I will prepare a portion of the herbs you need in the future, and I won't sell them to anyone, okay?"
After getting a positive answer, the shopkeeper began to make plans.
Zhicheng certainly wouldn't refuse his joke, "Thank you very much, boss. As long as I can succeed, I will definitely get benefits from you in the future."
An alchemist is very popular no matter where he is.
"Haha, good. Then I wish you a successful start and success in one go."
After the two of them laughed and complimented each other, Zhicheng left the pharmacy.
Since there was nothing for sale, he might as well go shopping around. Anyway, his grandparents would be too busy to pay attention to him if he went back now.
He has not felt like practicing recently and just wants to improve his alchemy skills.
There are only a few first-grade pills he can make now, mainly because the medicinal materials in his grandmother's pill recipes are too difficult to find.
Even if he had, he would not be willing to use them to practice, because they were his grandmother's treasures.
However, judging from what the shopkeeper said, the man from the imperial city was probably seriously injured, and perhaps even suffered a serious injury to his soul.
Of course, these have nothing to do with him. His grandmother told him since he was a child that there are more troubles when there are too many people around. As long as it doesn’t affect him, it’s best not to care about those troubles, because the Virgin Mary will appear and eventually kill him.
He always remembered his grandmother's teachings, and even if he could heal the man's injury himself, he didn't plan to get involved in this mess. But after all, they have been through this for so many years, and they would have survived with or without him.
After Zhicheng calmed down, he smiled at the sky.
But at this time, Zhicheng found that there was a little tail behind him, and he was happy after checking it out.
It turned out to be a little girl.
He walked and stopped along the way, and bought some delicious food when he found something delicious. He also bought some fun things to play with for his grandmother.
Even though his grandmother was usually so cold to him, he knew that she loved him the most.
I remember one time, after he injured himself while practicing martial arts, his grandmother didn't talk to him for three days, but she would go to heal him every night.
He knew all about this, but he pretended not to know because he was afraid that his grandmother would feel upset.
Zhicheng walked further and further away, and soon he stopped at an open space.
"Come out, you've followed me all the way, aren't you tired?" After saying that, Zhicheng turned around and looked in the direction where the man was hiding.
The little girl is quite capable. She has already reached the fourth level of training at such a young age. It can be seen that her family has put a lot of effort into her training.
Zhicheng didn't even think about himself. He would be building his foundation in a few days, so how many years older was he than others?
Really...
The little girl was also very brave. She walked out immediately after hearing what Zhicheng said.
"How did you find me?" the little girl asked curiously.
Zhicheng shook his head. How dare he let such a girl out? He was not afraid of how she would die.
"Why are you following me?" Zhicheng asked.
Of course, he did not let down his guard, even though the other party was a little girl.
"I saw you buying medicinal herbs. Do you know medical skills?" On the first day she arrived, she discovered this young man going in and out of the medical shop and buying a lot of medicinal herbs.
She didn't take it seriously at first, but later she found out that the herbs he bought were the same as those her fourth brother wanted to use, so she paid more attention to it.
Unexpectedly, she ran into him several times while wandering around the city.
This time, she followed right after him.
Seeing the innocence in her eyes, Zhicheng felt a little relieved.
He shook his head and said, "No." He would never admit it.
"You're lying. I saw it all. Every time you went to the pharmacy, you bought a lot of medicinal herbs." The little girl was anxious.
How could it not be?
Zhicheng was speechless. It turned out that he had been secretly observed for so long without even knowing it.
"Tell me, why are you following me? If you don't tell me, I'm going home." He didn't have any thoughts about this silly-looking little girl.
The little girl was the sister of the person coming from the imperial city mentioned by the shopkeeper and Zhicheng.
The reason why she followed her fourth brother to this border town was because her fourth brother was plotted against by her third brother.
Not only that, Fourth Brother was seriously injured in order to save her. If there is no medicine to treat him, I am afraid...
No, Fourth Brother is her last relative and she can't live without him.
I'm sorry, I woke up only now after a long sleep. I feel really embarrassed.
