On the afternoon of the next day, Su Ziyi, who had just returned home from Shuiyun Town, rarely found that there were guests at home.Wisps of white smoke from cypress branches and chaff are slowly wafting out of the corner of the courtyard, and there is also a "crackling" sound, coupled with the fat oozing out of the red meat, making the air full of smoky meat fragrance, which makes people hungry when they smell it.And in front of the hanging row of pieces of meat, Su Yulang was bored with a cypress branch poking into the chaff pile.It's just that when the courtyard door was pushed out with a "squeak", his eyes lit up instantly, and then when he looked back, he saw that the person who came was indeed his father who had been thinking about it for a long time, so he immediately threw the cypress branch to the side, rushed up with a cheer, hugged Su Ziyi's waist and shook it: "Father, why did you come back." ”Su Ziyi stretched out his hand to catch him and smiled: "What's wrong?"
”Then he was keenly aware of the smell of a stranger in the hall, and looked down and asked, "Someone is coming?"
”Hearing Su Ziyi mention this, Su Yulang was also a little awkward, he held Su Ziyi's hand tightly, and then whispered: "It's the village chief." ”"Huh?"
Su Ziyi frowned: "Why is he here?"
”At this time, Bian Qing, who was working in the kitchen, also heard the voice and walked out, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Ziyi take down the bamboo basket behind him, and urged: "You go quickly, the village chief seems to have something to do with you." ”He frowned, equally puzzled by the village chief's sudden visit."
He didn't tell you anything?"
Su Ziyi untied the bamboo basket, put it in Bian Qing's hand, and asked casually, but he didn't think that Bian Qing glared at him, and said viciously: "What do you want?"
”Looking at his unhappy expression, Su Ziyi remembered that although this world was not as strict as the ancient earth before, there were still many taboos about married couples.So, he apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot about this." ”Bian Qing is doing things well, and the longer he gets along with him, the more subconsciously he feels that Bian Qing is just an ordinary man, and he rarely thinks that the other party is different from himself and can have children."
Alright, alright."
It's not the first time that Su Ziyi has few tendons in this regard, Bian Qing didn't bother to bother with him, he said casually: "You go quickly, he has been waiting for a while." ”"Okay, I'll go over now."
Su Ziyi dusted off the ash on his sleeves and the hem of his robe, and then walked into the hall with his steps.The moment Su Yulang screamed, the village chief sitting in the hall heard it, but when he poked his head out to look, he happened to see that their family was saying something in a low voice, so he retracted his head again.Fortunately, Su Ziyi walked in the next moment and greeted him with a salute: "Village Chief." ”"You're back."
The village chief put down the teacup, stood up, and tried his best to face Su Ziyi with a kind smile, but when he saw Su Ziyi's face, he felt a little twisted no matter how he smiled.Fortunately, Su Ziyi didn't bother with him, just nodded: "Village chief, sit down." ”Then he found a stool and sat down and asked, "Is there anything important?"
”The village chief was also not happy to be alone with Su Ziyi, so he could finish the matter as soon as possible, the happier he was, he didn't drink the tea anymore, coughed a little uncomfortably, leaned forward slightly and said, "Isn't this Doctor Li injured on the mountain yesterday?"
”He looked worried: "I went to see it with the others, and I heard that he was injured by a demon beast?"
”"Hmm.""
That's the problem."
The village chief said: "For so many years, my ancestors have never seen a demon beast here, and now the demon beast actually appeared in the nearby mountains, and it is so close to the village!"
”He went to take a look this morning, and found that the place where Su Ziyi and they fought was only a few miles away from Luoshan Village, which really worried him."
So, I think-" Speaking of this, the village chief had some embarrassment on his face, over the years, the village and the Su family have not moved much, and now there is a big incident in the village, but they have to ask for their family, which really makes his old face a little unbearable: "You see that you often go into the mountains, can you help see what is going on?"
”"I also know that this is difficult for some strong people."
The village chief sighed, didn't look at Su Ziyi, and said to himself, for fear that Su Ziyi would reject him loudly: "But the people in the village finally lived a good life, and this kind of thing happened." ”He rubbed his face with his hands, and the bitter water was about to drip down his face: "This is also no way." ”After saying this, he didn't speak anymore, just looked at Su Ziyi.And Su Ziyi didn't expect that people who had never been to the door came here for this?
But this matter is not a big deal for him, after all, he still has to enter the mountain after all, so he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, but it's not easy to walk in the mountains now, and I have to wait for the spring if I want to go." ”"No hurry, no hurry."
Hearing Su Ziyi's response, the stone in the village chief's heart fell to the ground, and his eyes when he looked at Su Ziyi were a little warm: "You can help take a look at it then." ”"Okay."
In addition to this, the village chief had nothing else to do, so he casually politely said a few words and said goodbye to Su Ziyi.And Su Ziyi also got up and sent the other party outside the courtyard gate."
What's the matter, the village chief is gone?"
Bian Qing was pickling vegetables in the kitchen, constantly busy with his hands, but as soon as he saw Su Ziyi walking in, he asked busily."
Hmm."
Su Ziyi scooped a bowl of hot water from the stove and sipped it slowly."
What is he here for?"
Bian Qing couldn't figure out what the village chief was here for, after all, their family had been in Luoshan Village for more than ten years, and the two families had basically never left."
It's not just about the monsters on the mountain."
Su Ziyi said disapprerovingly: "This time, Dr.
Li was injured so close to the village, and they were always a little scared in their hearts. ”"Then what does he want you to do with you?"
Hearing about the demon beast, Bian Qing felt a little unhappy in his heart, and even his impression of the village chief was a little worse."
He told me to go to the mountains and see what was going on.""
Then you're done?"
Bian Qing raised his tone, smashed the vegetables in his hand into the basin, and looked at it."
It's not a big deal, so I'll just say it casually.""
Not a big deal?"
Hearing Bian Qing's rhetorical question, Su Ziyi realized that Bian Qing was in a different mood, and as soon as he thought about it, he thought of the key to the matter, and immediately explained: "I only promised him to go up and have a look, and it was after the beginning of spring." ”Hearing him say this, Bian Qing felt a little better in his heart, but he was still unforgiving: "I have to go with you then." ”"It's not good."
Su Ziyi frowned: "It's very dangerous in the mountains, and I may not be able to protect you." ”"I have it in my heart."
Speaking of this, Bian Qing also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her tone became cowardly: "I'm just watching from the outside, and you are not allowed to go inside." ”"Well, don't worry, I know, nothing is important to save your life."
Looking at Bian Qing's tense face, Su Ziyi said with relief, and then changed the topic elsewhere: "Have you seen what I brought back?"
”"No, that's a return gift to the government?"
Bian Qing was still immersed in the sadness that his strength was too low, and he was listless when he spoke."

Hmm."
Su Ziyi got up and dragged the bamboo basket to the side of the stool: "Those red meats, Xiang Butler and Doctor Wu like them very much, so they also gave us a very generous gift." ”He took out a blue package on the top and opened it: "I told Doctor Wu about my plan to learn alchemy, and he gave me a codex. ”He took out the contents and shook them towards Bian Qing."
Doctor Wu is really kind-hearted."
Hearing this, Bian Qing's face was much better, he stopped pickling vegetables, washed his hands, wiped them off, and walked over, squatting beside Su Ziyi to tidy things up together."
Hmm."
Su Ziyi took out the contents of the same thing: "Thanks to my early arrival, in two days, they will return to Qingcheng with Xiangfu, and they will not come back until after the Lantern Festival." ”He breathed a long sigh of relief: "And I also asked the butler Xiang to help me bring a better medicine stove back from Qingcheng." ”"Qingcheng's-" Bian Qing raised his eyebrows: "That shouldn't be cheap." ”"Hmm."
Su Ziyi touched his nose: "In addition to the medicine furnace, there are also some spirit grasses and the like, I gave a total of two thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets to Steward Xiang." ”At the beginning, after selling the demon beast, he left four thousand taels of silver tickets for himself, and this time he went to most of it, and when the butler came back, it was estimated that he would have to make up a little."
Do you have enough money?
Not enough for me here. ”Ordinary people don't spend much money on their lives, so he basically hasn't touched the five hundred taels that Su Ziyi gave him at the beginning.When Su Ziyi heard what he said, his heart also softened a little, and he shook his head: "It should be enough." ”He looked at Bian Qing's face: "And it's already spring by then, and I'm going to go into the mountains too."
After entering the mountain, whether it is collecting medicine or hunting, there will be new items at home. ”Putting all his eggs in one basket was never his style."
That'll do.There's nothing going on in the winter, so hurry up and read your book. ”Hearing Su Ziyi say this, Bian Qing felt that his pressure suddenly increased a lot.After all, he is still only at the third level of qi refining, and if he wants to enter the deep mountains, he will really only cause trouble for Su Ziyi, and he will definitely not allow himself to do this.Therefore, I secretly encouraged myself in my heart and decided that I must cultivate hard this winter to shorten the gap between myself and Su Ziyi.In this way, the Su family's already tense cultivation atmosphere intensified again.In the past, the two adults in the family spent their spare time on meditation and cultivation every day after doing things, and although Su Yulang, who was still a little ignorant, did not understand, but under the drive of his father, he also jerkily operated the aura in his body to cultivate.Therefore, the happiest moment of his day was when his father taught him to study with Eminem.And now, in addition to his previous cultivation, Su Ziyi also has one more homework - that is, to go to Dr.
Li's house to learn the basic knowledge of alchemy from Dr.
Li.The Pill Medicine Master has a very long history on the Qingze Continent, but the turmoil in the mainland has led to the loss of various inheritances, coupled with the reduction of various spiritual materials and spiritual grasses, so the content that has been handed down now is less than one in ten, and the number of Pill Medicine Masters has also been sharply reduced.However, the overall framework and the most basic things were still relatively well preserved, which was of great benefit to a beginner cultivator like Su Ziyi.In particular, although Dr.
Li only has the second level of qi refining, he has profound basic skills, and he has a very deep understanding of the most superficial elixir prescriptions, which makes Su Ziyi benefit a lot every time he communicates with him.Through Dr.
Li, Su Ziyi learned that among the current cultivators, the elixir is divided into four major levels: heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow, of which the yellow one is the lowest level, and the heavenly one is the highest; And in these four major grades, they are divided into nine sub-grades from one to nine.It's just that due to the loss of the inheritance, at present, only the yellow-level and Xuan-level pills on the Qingze Continent are widely circulated, and the prefecture-level pills only occasionally appear in the black market auction, but every time it appears, it will set off a storm of blood and rain on the mainland.As for the heaven-grade elixir?
That's an existence that can't even be thought of.And the refining of these pills has very high requirements for the cultivators themselves, and a monk in the late stage of foundation building, even if he has the best talent for alchemy, can only touch the threshold of Xuan-level pills and refine quite a few Xuan-level pills.Therefore, at present, the best pill pharmacist on the Qingze Continent is nothing more than a Xuan-level pill pharmacist in the Jindan period."
There are fewer and fewer precious spirit grasses, and the difficulty of the pill pharmacist's promotion is getting higher and higher."
Doctor Li said to Su Ziyi: "There are some spirit grasses that can be cultivated for the use of yellow-grade pills, and they can also be found in other places, so yellow-grade pills can still appear in large quantities." ”He sighed: "In recent years, the number of high-level demon beasts that can be found has become less and less than the number of high-level spirit grasses, and the refining of Xuan-level elixirs has also become very difficult. ”Su Ziyi put away the dishes and chopsticks that Dr.
Li had just finished eating, and listened quietly.It's just that the longer he stays with Dr.
Li, the deeper his suspicions about Dr.
Li become, because Dr.
Li has these insights and knowledge that are completely beyond the knowledge of a poor doctor who lives in a dilapidated mountain village.Therefore, I am afraid that there is an unknown story about Dr.
Li.However, if there was a problem in his heart, he didn't ask it, he just abided by his duty and seriously studied the knowledge of alchemy.After eating the lunch sent by the Su family, while talking to Su Ziyi about the alchemist, he sighed leisurely: "I really want to see the ancient times, there were as many low-level Dan masters as dogs, and the grand scene of heaven-level Dan masters walking everywhere." ”His eyes were full of longing.After speaking, he looked at Su Ziyi and sighed a little resignedly: "That's it for my life, being able to refine a yellow-grade second-grade pill is already my limit, but-" He didn't hide the expectation of Su Ziyi in his eyes at all: "Su family boy, you are still young, I believe you will go much farther than me." ”
