407 True and False Gong Qian
407
After half an hour, the two finally slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief, because the level 7 wild beast behind them was still chasing the cultivator. The two went in another direction, and they were safe in this direction.
However, the two did not stop and continued to rush out. This mountain range was tormented by the level 7 wild beast, and it must be uneasy. It would be better to leave as soon as possible.
When the sun set, they finally rushed to the nearest city and went into the city to rest.
After a night's rest, Feng Ming was full of energy again when he woke up the next day, and had completely forgotten about yesterday's escape and the cultivator.
The two packed up in the inn and went out to look for food around noon. Jinzi and the little snake were also looking forward to it.
Just after they came out of the inn, a cultivator came out of the inn opposite. The message the little snake sent to the two owners immediately startled them.
Because the little snake told them that the cultivator opposite was the guy who provoked the level 7 wild beast in the mountain yesterday.
The cultivator also discovered them. Yesterday, Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming had the little snake to pay attention to the situation behind them, so the two did not look back. Therefore, apart from what the little snake said, they did not know anything else about the cultivator.
However, the cultivator changed direction only after discovering the existence of Feng Ming and the others, so the other party did not expect such a coincidence to meet the two cultivators who were almost implicated by him yesterday.
The cultivator strode over upon seeing this, and couldn't pretend not to know him, and the two cultivators seemed to recognize him as well.
When he got closer, Feng Ming's eyes showed a look of amazement, it was clearly a male cultivator, but this male cultivator was a little too good-looking, the kind of good-looking that didn't distinguish between genders, and he was a different type from Brother Bai.
Although he looked a little feminine, Feng Ming also appreciated this kind of pretty boy, and didn't hide his amazement.
The cultivator was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "My last name is Ma, Ma Gu, I have met you two Daoists before. I almost got you into trouble yesterday, I should say sorry."
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo also politely replied: "Daoyou Ma, you are too polite. We were just a little startled, and it didn't affect us in other aspects. We thought we wouldn't be able to meet Daoyou Ma, but we didn't expect that we have such a deep fate."
Ma Gu also smiled: "That's right, I went around in circles before I got rid of that guy, because some things must be returned here."
Feng Ming admired: "Daoyou Ma doesn't show any signs of injury, Daoyou Ma is very powerful."
Ma Gu smiled: "Since we have such a deep fate, why don't I treat you two to a wine shop?"
"Thank you."
Feng Ming was curious about what happened yesterday. In addition, Ma Gu did not do anything to divert trouble yesterday. Feng Ming had a good impression of him, so he did not refuse and went to the restaurant with Ma Gu.
Ma Gu was more familiar with this place than Feng Ming and the others. He ordered a table of good wine and food, and even took care of the three little ones.
The little snake folded the horns on its head, and in the eyes of outsiders it was a veritable little snake.
Ma Gu looked at him for a while and then looked away, without pointing out the abnormality of this little snake.
Because this is a snake with the strength of the Kaihun realm, it was found in the mountains yesterday.
After the wine and food came up, the three of them exchanged some pleasantries, and Ma Gu talked about why he escaped yesterday.
"Because I am an alchemist, there is a magical herb that only exists in that big guy's territory. I have been observing it for a long time. Yesterday, I finally got the chance to pick that magical herb, but I didn't expect that the big guy found me and chased me all the way. Fortunately, I got away with it."
Ma Gu looked relieved.
Feng Ming was not surprised that the other party was an alchemist, because he smelled a medicinal scent on Ma Gu, just like him.
"It seems that this is the magical herb that Fellow Daoist Ma must collect. It is worth taking a risk. Otherwise, I won't be able to refine medicine and practice properly."
Ma Gu felt that he and Feng Ming had a lot in common: "Fellow Daoist Feng is right. I stayed here just to get this magical herb. I just smelled the medicinal fragrance on Fellow Daoist Feng. Fellow Daoist Feng is also a sixth-grade master of refining medicine. He refined the sixth-grade Seven Treasures Pill not long ago."
Ma Gu used a very affirmative tone. Feng Ming raised his thumb and said "Daoyou Ma has a really sharp sense of smell. Yes, I got a main herb for refining the Seven Treasures Pill in the mountains before, so I tried to refine it."
Ma Gu: "Daoyou Feng, don't be modest. The Seven Treasures Pill is a sixth-grade high-level pill. Judging from the smell of the medicine, the quality of the finished pill is not low. Daoyou Feng's medicine refining technique is the best I have ever seen in my life."
In a short time, each of them revealed their secrets, and immediately they had similar interests. The two of them left Bai Qiaomo aside and talked very enthusiastically.
Bai Qiaomo was a little jealous, not because he didn't believe Feng Ming, but just a little jealous. He could only eat and drink with Sanxiao.
What else could he do? He didn't know the art of refining medicine, so he couldn't get in on the conversation between the two.
Talking about all kinds of medicine refining, the two felt more and more that they had met each other too late.
Ma Gu thought Feng Ming's medicine refining skills were very advanced and he had profound insights.
And Feng Ming thought that Ma Gu's medicine refining skills were also of great reference to himself. He even touched upon the seventh-grade elixir, and his vision was higher than his. With a little guidance, Feng Ming felt that he had a sudden realization.
Feng Ming felt that after communicating with Ma Gu for three days and three nights, his medicine refining skills had also improved a lot.
They didn't eat much of the delicious food, most of it went into Bai Qiaomo and Sanxiao's stomachs. Feng Ming decided to continue chatting with Ma Gu tomorrow. Now the sun had set, so they had to go back.
Yes, the two chatted for half a day, so absorbed in the conversation that they looked up and realized that it was getting dark, but they still felt that they hadn't finished talking.
"It's a pity that I didn't meet Brother Feng earlier."
"Me too, I admire Brother Ma's bold exploration of alchemy."
"Haha, where, let's continue the conversation tomorrow, I'll go find Brother Feng."
"Okay, I'll wait for Brother Ma in the inn."
The two left the restaurant and waved goodbye reluctantly.
On the way back, Feng Ming was still sighing about meeting a good friend. Feng Ming didn't think that this person's talent and insights in alchemy were much worse than his own, and they were much higher and more profound than Qiu Yi.
Bai Qiaomo just kept agreeing all the way back to the inn. After entering the room, Feng Ming pinched Bai Qiaomo's face and asked, "Brother Bai, are you jealous?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't you doubt his identity?"
Feng Ming nodded honestly, "Actually, I did, but I believe what I saw with my own eyes. He is a friend worth making. Brother Bai, do you also suspect that he is Gong Qian?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Yes, he is a great master of alchemy, and his last name is Ma. Maybe we are used to criticizing people with fake names, so we are more sensitive to such names. Ma Gu makes it hard for people not to associate him with Gong Qian."
Ma is the lower half of the character Qian, and Gu is the Gu in Gong Gu.
Of course, it may be that they are too suspicious, but they both intuitively feel that the probability that they are the same person is not high.
Feng Ming clapped his hands and said happily, "It's good that it's him. This time, before we even entered Fengling City, haha, the real Gong Qian and the fake Gong Qian ran into each other first. Brother Bai, don't you think this is more interesting? As expected, I was right during the day. My fate with Brother Ma is really very deep."
Bai Qiaomo laughed. Isn't it? It's very deep. The real and fake Gong Qian ran into each other. I'm afraid Gong Qian himself didn't expect it.
Feng Ming said, "Brother Ma said that after he refines the elixir with the spiritual herb he picked, he will go to Fengling City. I told him that we are going the same way. Then we can go together and continue to discuss the art of refining medicine on the way."
What can Bai Qiaomo do? He could only agree: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Feng Ming was very happy: "The spiritual herbs that Brother Ma picked this time are of the seventh grade, and he wants to refine a seventh-grade pill. It's a pity that the pharmacist doesn't like other pharmacists watching him while he is refining the medicine, otherwise I really want to watch from the side."
Bai Qiaomo suggested: "You can try to mention it, maybe this fellow Daoist Ma will agree."
Feng Ming thought about it, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, and nodded: "Yes, I'll ask him tomorrow. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, I can understand."
Early the next morning, Ma Gu came to the inn to find Feng Ming. Bai Qiaomo felt that Ma Gu was as obsessed with refining medicine as Brother Ming.
Of course, he could only take care of the logistics with the three children, and he worked hard without complaint, so that Ma Gu had a rare moment to praise Bai Qiaomo during the conversation with Feng Ming.
Feng Ming waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. We have been married for a long time. It is the duty of Brother Bai to do this."
Ma Gu said, "I really envy your good relationship."
Feng Ming said proudly, "That's right, we came from the lower world together, and we still have a long way to go together."
During the conversation, Feng Ming did not hide the fact that he came from the lower world, because it involved many issues related to refining medicine, and he was relatively unfamiliar with some situations in the middle world. Even
if he didn't say it, Ma Gu should be able to guess it more or less, so it's better to be honest.
Ma Gu smiled and said, "Let's continue to discuss the issue of refining this Hun Yuan Dan. With Brother Feng's help, I am more confident in refining this elixir. By the way, can I ask Brother Feng to assist me?"
Feng Ming was surprised and asked, "Brother Ma really invites me to refine this Hun Yuan Dan together?"
Ma Gu nodded and said, "Yes, I am not very confident, but with Brother Feng's help, I think I can do it. Success."
Feng Ming said happily, "Great! When I was chatting with Brother Bai yesterday, I mentioned that I wanted to watch from the sidelines. I wanted to mention it to Brother Ma today, but Brother Ma said it before me. Thank you so much, Brother Ma. I am very happy."
Hunyuan Pill is not among the types of pills inherited from the alchemy technique that Feng Ming has come into contact with. It is a pill that Ma Gu improved based on some residual pill recipes he got.
He named it Hunyuan Pill, and its effect is to allow the cultivator's strength to be temporarily improved to the fusion realm, and to exert the combat power of the fusion realm.
Whether it is Feng Ming or Bai Qiaomo, when they heard about the effect of this pill, they believed that he was more likely to be Gong Qian. Maybe he wanted to use this pill to make a big fuss in Fengling City.
Feng Ming certainly hopes that Ma Gu can succeed in refining it, so that he can see the power of Hunyuan Pill.
It is not easy to improve this pill, because it involves the principle of poison pills. The seventh-grade spiritual herb he collected is a poisonous herb.
But if used properly, it can refine a miraculous pill like the seventh-grade Hunyuan Pill, which makes Feng Ming admire Ma Gu even more and regard him as a good friend.
