Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Yao Lao!

"A pharmacist?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled, and then frowned: "In Dou Qi Continent, anyone wants to become a pharmacist, but can anyone be a pharmacist? Those harsh conditions..." There was a sudden pause in the voice, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth wide: "Have I reached it?" I really appreciate Xiao Yan's look of shock mixed with anticipation and ecstasy. The old man stroked his beard and thought for a while, then looked him up and down, and then he sighed in embarrassment: "Although it is barely qualified, who asked me to I owe you a favor, alas, that’s all, let’s treat it as repaying a debt of favor..."

Glancing sideways at the reluctant old man, Xiao Yan always felt that what the old man said was barely qualified was a bit false, but at this time he didn't bother to ask further, but he was delighted and still had some doubts: "Even if I have met the requirements, but pharmacists are generally taught by the teacher personally, are you also a pharmacist?" Looking at Xiao Yan's little face full of doubts, the old man chuckled, his chest slightly straightened up, and there was a hint of pride in his voice: "That's right, I'm a pharmacist!" With a blink of his eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze towards the old man suddenly brightened up. Alchemist, that is a rare creature...

"Mr., may I ask, what level of pharmacist were you before?" Xiao Yan licked his lips, and his immature voice was more polite. Although there are few pharmacists in the Dou Qi Continent, due to their noble status, there is also a clear hierarchy, from low to high, divided into ranks one to nine. The owner of the Qi Gathering Powder in the hands of Nalan Yanran in the hall earlier, Pill King Furukawa , is a sixth-rank pharmacist, and he can be called the number one person in the pharmacy circle of the Jia Ma Empire. "How many grades? Hehe, I don't remember...Hey, little guy, do you want to learn or not?" Shaking his head, the old man suddenly asked a little impatiently.

"study!" Xiao Yan no longer hesitated, his little head moved hastily, pharmacist, even if it is a huge force like the Misty Cloud Sect, he should be regarded as a precious person of honor. "Hey, do you want to? If you want, then you can learn from the teacher." The old man crossed his legs on a bluestone, and smiled treacherously. "Do you still want to be a teacher?" "Nonsense, you want me to teach you everything if you don't want to be a teacher. Are you dreaming?" The old man rolled his eyes. Obviously, the old man with a somewhat pedantic temperament really cares about this kind of master-student relationship.

He curled his lips helplessly. In order to become a distinguished alchemist, Xiao Yan had no choice but to bow respectfully to the old man. Seeing that Xiao Yan had completed all the etiquette, the old man nodded in satisfaction, and his voice was a little more cordial: "My name is Yao Lao. As for my origin, I should not tell you now, lest you Distraction, all you need to know is that a so-called Pill King is actually... just a fart." The corner of his mouth twitched, Xiao Yan looked at the casual appearance of the old man, and just about to say, he swallowed hard: "What is the origin of this old man? Furukawa, the famous king of the Jiama Empire, is a fart...? If we go out, I'm afraid the entire Jia Ma Empire will ridicule him as a madman, right?"

Taking a light breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, salivated his face, and said, "I don't know how the teacher plans to let me reach the seventh stage of Dou Qi within a year?" "Although in the past three years, your fighting spirit has been regressing, but it is also because of this that your foundation is stronger than ordinary people. The foundation is the most important thing in fighting spirit cultivation! You will be able to detect it in the future. How much benefit has been brought to you by the decline in strength for a year!" Yao Lao's smile slowly faded, and he said sternly.

Xiao Yan was a little stunned, he really didn't know what benefits a retreat in strength would bring him. "Then when will you teach me the alchemy technique?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, focusing on the most important thing. "If you want to become a pharmacist, you must need the support of flame fighting qi. Therefore, before you can learn to refine medicine, you must at least become a fighter and practice a fire attribute fighting qi!". "Fire attribute exercises? Hehe, teacher, since I am your disciple, why don't you give me the fire attribute exercises of this heaven level?" Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and begged with a smile.

"Damn it, your day-level skills are wild potatoes on the ground, aren't you? Thanks for being able to open your mouth!" Hearing this, Yao Lao's face trembled, and he scolded dumbfoundedly. "Old man, since I am under your sect, you can't still let me go to the clan to find exercises, right? The top fire attribute exercises in our family, I remember, are only at the top of the yellow rank, which is too shabby Right?" Xiao Yan had a small face, very depressed. "Little brat, it's the teacher, not the old man!" Rolling his eyelids angrily at Xiao Yan's address, Yao Lao didn't expect this little guy to come up to him just after he finished his apprenticeship.

"Hmph, since you've joined my sect, I won't embarrass you. I don't have any heaven-level exercises! But I do have a skill that's even weirder than the heaven-level exercises. Do you want to learn it?" He snorted lightly. , Yao Lao's cloudy old eyes were suddenly full of conspiracy. "It's even weirder than the heaven-level exercises?" With a jump in his heart, Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva, his black eyes were inadvertently, quietly hot: "What level of skill is that?" "Huang rank is low." Yao Lao's smile made Xiao Yan's little face stiffen immediately.

"Old man, are you kidding me?" A moment later, the boy's angry roar sounded from the top of the mountain. Looking at the little guy with distorted face in front of him, Yao Lao smiled complacently. He really felt a sense of accomplishment for being able to annoy Xiao Yan, who was as calm as a little monster, into such an appearance. "What's so weird about that technique?" Staring at Yao Lao's playful face, Xiao Yan suddenly calmed down, and asked with a frown. "It can evolve!" Slightly silent, Yao Lao smiled. His pupils shrank sharply, Xiao Yan stared at Yao Lao in front of him without blinking, and after a while, he just shook his head: "Impossible! I have never heard of any cultivation technique that has the ability to evolve! "

"Tch, what do you know, the dou qi continent is vast, and there are countless strange people and strange things. In the eyes of you, a little guy who has never been out of the Jia Ma Empire, impossible things have gone to sea." Yao Lao disdainfully Sarcastically. Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and immediately said dissatisfied: "Could it be that you have heard of other exercises that can evolve?" Yao Lao's smile froze slightly, and after a while he shook his head with a dry smile, and said, "It's because I don't have it that I can show the uniqueness of my technique!" "Can it really evolve?" Seeing Yao Lao's serious face, Xiao Yan couldn't help asking again. "It can really evolve!" Yao Lao nodded with certainty. "Have you ever practiced?" Xiao Yan asked again. "Uh...no." Yao Lao smiled dryly and shook his head. "Then someone else has practiced?" "Uh...no." On his forehead, blue veins were bulging, Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to punch him, suppressing anger in his voice: "No one has practiced it before, so how do you know it can evolve?" "In terms of exercises, that's how it was introduced." Yao Lao said with a smile. "There really is such a skill?" Frowning tightly, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then rolled his dark eyes and said, "Can you let me see?" "Hey..." He glanced at the curious Xiao Yan with a strange smile, the corner of Yao Lao's mouth cracked, but suddenly his voice changed: "Forget it, it's useless if you read it now, let's wait until you become a fighter." When the time comes, I will pass it on to you again." The outstretched palm was a little stiff, and the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched fiercely for a long while before he forced out two words from between his teeth like a leak: "You are ruthless!" Laughing happily a few times, Yao Lao ignored Xiao Yan's black eyes full of anger, and said with a smile: "The task now is to cultivate your fighting spirit to the seventh stage within one year." "What can you do?" Xiao Yan forcibly suppressed his curiosity about the mysterious technique, and asked through gritted teeth. "The cultivation of Dou Qi at the initial stage is mainly to expand the meridian and forge the body, strengthen the meridians, and lay the foundation for the later condensing of Dou Qi in the body. Since the human body is at this age, the meridians in the body are most fragile and plastic, so this training program , must follow the rules and proceed gradually, and no external measures can be taken, otherwise in the future, when the fighting energy in the body becomes stronger, the veins will not be able to withstand the stronger and stronger impact of the fighting energy, which will eventually lead to the end of pulse breaking and death!" Yao Lao's face was serious. road. Regarding this point, Xiao Yan understood that during the three years he had been a waste, his father tried to forcefully infuse fighting energy into his body several times because of his impatience, but every time he braked the car at an emergency, so Xiao Yan The stakes are clear. Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan with a calm face, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "For other people, this is indeed the case, but you are different. The foundation in your body has been solid and reliable as early as three years ago. Moreover, you have been firm in the past few years, and you have never missed a day of cultivation, so now your foundation, as a teacher, can be said bluntly, is very good!" "Could it be that you want to use external force to increase my strength? For example, take pills?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. "Almost, but with the toughness of your current veins, you can't withstand the impact of any kind of elixir energy, even the lowest-level Qi Gathering Powder!" Yao Lao said with a faint smile. "The lowest-level Qi-gathering Powder..." His fingers trembled, Xiao Yan wanted to roll his eyes, the rare medicine that was copied at a sky-high price in the Jia Ma Empire turned out to be the lowest-level thing in the mouth of his mysterious teacher. The difference between the two really made Xiao Yan somewhat astonished. "Then your solution?" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan regained his composure, frowning and whispering. "Hehe, the elixir is too powerful and it's easy to hurt the veins, so we have to take a more gentle way!" Yao Lao smiled slightly and said: "Tomorrow, you prepare three complete purple leaf orchids. The longer the year, the better. Yes, two bone-washing flowers, the year of this thing is random, oh, yes, there is also a first-level magic core of the wood system, these are low-level materials, I think you can get it... someone came up, I will return the ring first Already! Also, don’t let anyone know of my existence, including those closest to you.” After finishing speaking, Yao Lao ignored Xiao Yan, whose mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and threw it directly into the black ring, which trembled slightly. , and accurately set it on Xiao Yan's finger. "Three complete purple-leaf orchids? Two bone-washing flowers? A wood-type first-level magic core? Old guy, are you mistaken? Which royal prince do you think I am? At least thousands of gold coins! I have lived frugally for so many years, and I only have a deposit of 400 gold coins, which is just enough to buy a first-level magic core!" Holding the ring, Xiao Yan stared and cursed. "That's your business, hehe, the warm and nourishing liquid I prepared, other people can't buy it if they have money. I only ask you to pay for the materials, so I feel so distressed..." Yao Lao's playful laughter, It sounded in Xiao Yan's heart. "Damn it, the things prepared by the pharmacists are really only rich people can afford." Xiao Yan smiled helplessly. His monthly pocket money in the Xiao family is not a lot, there are 20 gold coins , This money, put outside, can make a commoner's family full for a year, but it is only a drop in the bucket when the money is used to buy the materials that the old man said earlier. This is the gap! "Oh, I can only find someone to borrow it..." With a depressed sigh, Xiao Yan slowly restrained his emotions, his small face returned to his usual calm, and he turned his head to look at the mountain road, where there was a purple shadow, just like an elf Generally speaking, leaping lightly.
