Who is fighting

Today's Zhongnan Mountain is full of vigor and excitement. There is no comparison with the time when Liang Qiufeng entered the mountain gate. At that time, there were only a few hundred disciples of the new generation of Jianfu. Now the number has multiplied several times, and it officially broke through the thousand mark the day before yesterday.

And every day, there is still an endless stream of young and handsome people who go to Zhongnan Mountain from all over the barren island and want to join the Sword Mansion.

There are too many people, the popularity is boiling, it seems bustling, and it is no longer the quiet and quiet before.

"I don't know what happened to my little brother and Liu Er in Gushan City..."

In the courtyard, Yaoyao was reading a book.

The title of the book is "Nine Methods of Melting", which belongs to Danshu.

The so-called "Book of Pills" is the secret book on how to refine pills.In the alchemy book, "The Nine Methods of Melting" is considered a very basic thing, an entry level.It mainly introduces some common sense of alchemy, simple concepts and nouns, and displays some of the simplest alchemy formulas, such as Yiqiao "Juyuan Dan".

Learning alchemy is Yaoyao's new attempt.

The girl failed in martial arts training, and failed repeatedly in planting, she was very frustrated.After Liang Qiufeng went to Taicheng to participate in the sect competition, he felt bored, so he started a new attempt, alchemy.

The books are borrowed from the library of the Outer Mansion. Although Yaoyao is not a disciple of the Sword Mansion, but because of Liang Qiufeng, she enjoys some special rights. For example, she only needs to pay a sum of Lingmi to borrow books.

In addition to "Nine Methods of Melting", there is also a thick "Acupuncture Essentials", which is a medical book, beside her.

Since ancient times, there is a saying that elixir and medicine do not separate families, so Yaoyao borrowed both books to read at home.

For some reason, she found it interesting to read these books.

However, Liang Qiufeng was not informed of this matter.Firstly, he had just studied and hadn't achieved any results yet, so there was no need to rush to talk to his little brother; secondly, when Liang Qiufeng came back from Taicheng, the Sword House soon encountered a war, and a catastrophe was imminent... Afterwards, it was even more chaotic, with countless affairs to be dealt with.When the situation stabilized, Liang Qiufeng would have to go to Gushan City soon, so there was no time to talk about these things.

"Thirty catties of Lingmi refined rice marrow, five coins of second-grade aster grass, two taels of first-grade Heyuan dry leaves..."

What she is looking at now is the pill formula about Yiqiao Juyuan Pill.Inexplicable, very impulsive to practice, eager to try.However, in addition to the raw materials for alchemy, fire and the alchemy furnace are indispensable.

For fire, ordinary open fire cannot be used. For example, the fire produced by burning wood is impossible to make alchemy successfully. It is necessary to use unique ground fire, or "human fire" cultivated by individuals.

Human fire is out of reach for Yaoyao, earth fire she knows that there is a stone room in the back mountain of Jianfu, which communicates with the ground, and there is fire, but if she wants to enter alchemy, she must pay a lot of spiritual rice;

In addition, the necessary tool for alchemy is the alchemy furnace.Ordinary pill furnaces are available in the market, so it's not too difficult to get them.

Liang Qiufeng went down the mountain that day and left Yaoyao five hundred catties of spiritual rice. She seldom ate it and kept it by her side. affordable.

So, do you want to give it a try?

"Just give it a try, at worst, you will lose five hundred catties of Lingmi..."

The girl is decisive.

Because in her subconscious mind, she never wanted to be Liang Qiufeng's burden, she really wanted to share some burden for Liang Qiufeng.Even if it's just a little bit.

After making the decision, I immediately went down the mountain to Zhongnan Town, where I bought a small alchemy stove in a utensil shop; then I went back to the mountain, and went to the back mountain to rent a secret room connected to the ground fire.

"What, you want to make alchemy?"

The sword mansion disciple who was in charge of guarding the stone room was very strange, and looked Yaoyao up and down: "You are not a sword mansion disciple, are you?"

Yaoyao shook her head: "No... Excuse me, big brother, do you have to be a disciple to enter?"

The disciple said: "The principle is like this, um, you live in the inner palace, who do you follow?"

"Liang Qiufeng, I am his sword servant."

As Yaoyao said, she handed over an identity token.

The disciple verified that the token was upright, and there was a smile on his face: "So that's the case, then there is no problem. But renting the stone room is expensive, one hundred catties of spiritual rice for an hour."

"So expensive?"

Yaoyao stuck out her tongue.

Although psychologically prepared, the price still exceeded expectations.

The disciple chuckled and said, "Have you ever practiced alchemy before?"

"No, for the first time, I want to practice my hands."

The disciple scratched his head: "Girl, please forgive me, alchemy is not an easy task. If you don't have strong financial support, it will be very difficult to learn."

In addition to martial arts, there are weapon refining, alchemy, planting, etc., which are also extremely popular occupations. After learning something, the achievements are not trivial.

It's just that these professions are many times more difficult than martial arts.Advice from famous teachers, resource support, massive attempts...all kinds of things are indispensable.

Many people who choose these occupations have to study for more than ten years, or even decades, before they can barely achieve some results, and then they can become teachers and establish themselves.

However, the Sword Mansion disciple in front of him looked at Yaoyao, she was just a young girl in her teens, and her identity was just a sword servant. It was absolutely whimsical to want to make alchemy, and there was absolutely no reason for her success.Out of kindness, I remind her.

Yaoyao thought for a while: "Let me rent it for an hour first."

"Okay, since you decided to go in and have a try, then I won't stop you. After you pay the Lingmi over there, you can come to me to get the token of the stone chamber."

Soon, Yaoyao paid the Lingmi, took the token of the stone room, and walked in.

The Sword Mansion disciple watched him go in, he couldn't help shaking his head, and murmured: "It's really worthwhile to spend a hundred catties of spiritual rice to buy a lesson..."

The Fire Seed Stone Chamber built in the back of Zhongnan Mountain, the quality of the ground fire drawn from the ground is not good, it can only be ranked inferior, at most it can only refine medicines below the three orifices, higher-grade medicines, It's not enough to cope.

Ground fire is well-known in terms of resource types and occupies a very important strategic role. It is difficult to obtain good quality ground fire.However, in the barren island, due to the lack of various resources, industries such as alchemy and equipment have shrunk greatly, and the days are declining.Zhongnan Mountain can pull the ground fire, which is quite good.

According to the instructions on the token, Yaoyao found the corresponding stone room and opened it.

In fact, there are more than ten stone chambers arranged in two rows at this time, and there is only Yaoyao alone.

An hour passed quickly, and Yaoyao came out with a look of disappointment on her face.

The guarding disciple of the Sword House asked: "Girl, how is your alchemy going?"

Yaoyao shook her head, expressing her failure.

"Oh."

The sword mansion disciple said indifferently, apparently not surprised by this result at all.

"I'll come back tomorrow."

"what!"

He was quite surprised by Yaoyao's persistence.

One hundred catties of spiritual rice per hour is not a small amount. If the other party comes from a big family, it's okay to have a lot of spiritual rice to squander.However, although Yaoyao is immature, she is naturally beautiful and looks like a beauty. Maybe besides training as a partner, she will also accompany her to do other things, and the reward will be relatively much higher.

This situation is actually very common in the Sword House.

The most representative one is Long Xiangtian, Senior Brother Long will change sword servants every once in a while, and the requirements are all young and beautiful women, obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

But people don't flirt in vain, they have the capital of flirtatious, and they love each other as much as they want, outsiders have nothing to blame, but envy them.

The next day, at about the same time, Yaoyao really appeared, paid a hundred catties of Lingmi, and entered the stone room to refine alchemy for an hour.

When the time was up and the girl came out, the guardian disciple asked, "How is today?"

"It didn't work out."

The disciple persuaded: "Girl, as I said earlier, alchemy is not so easy to succeed."

"I know, but it is because success is not easy, so you have to try more. As long as you make progress in every new attempt, there will be hope for success. Therefore, I will come tomorrow."

"Again?"

The guardian disciple was speechless.

There is nothing wrong with being persistent, but it is unwise to be persistent.

On the third day, Yaoyao came earlier than the previous two days.Going through the formalities as always, the guarding disciple didn't even bother to say words of persuasion.

An hour later, the girl came out with a black face stained with a lot of ashes.

The guardian disciple casually asked, "Are you still coming tomorrow?"

Yaoyao briskly replied: "Not coming."

"Didn't you say you have to try a lot to succeed?"

When he said this, the guardian disciple subconsciously felt a little sarcastic.Because in his opinion, his previous two kind reminders and kind persuasion did not get the other party's attention.

"Yes."

The girl replied crisply: "It's just that I have already succeeded, so there is no need to come again."

"Uh... what, did it work?"

The guardian disciple jumped up abruptly, his face was stunned on the spot.

……

The fast horse was like the wind, and the sound of the horse's hooves treading the ground seemed a bit chaotic.

"Yu!"

Approaching the bamboo forest at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the steed suddenly let out a mournful cry, its hooves limp, and it fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, it seemed that it was dying.

Fortunately, the knight saw the opportunity quickly and made a light jump ahead of time, so he didn't fall down.

The knight didn't stop for a long time, and immediately unfolded his posture and rushed up along the stone steps.

There was the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and one person called out breathlessly: "Qiu Feng, Qiu Feng wait for me!"

"Yu!"

His horse, the horse stumbled, fell down, could no longer struggle, and died of exhaustion.

Zhang Jiangshan's face was full of travel and dust, and he said with a wry smile: "This trip has been going on day and night, and I'm so exhausted. I've lost at least ten catties. It's a big loss."

Complaining in his mouth, he hurriedly set off and followed Liang Qiufeng closely.

On the mountain road at the foot of the mountain, there were many Jianfu disciples who were in charge of patrolling and guarding. When they saw the situation, they hurried out to find out what happened, but after recognizing Liang Qiufeng and Zhang Jiangshan, they didn't step forward to stop and question them. Surprise: Two senior brothers, aren't you in Gushan City? Why did you come back to the mountain in such a hurry? (To be continued.)
