Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Apprenticeship to Learn Art

After Granny Dan's narration, I have a general understanding of the current situation in the outside world. The unexpected appearance of the fairy master Li Sheng disrupted the arrangement of the new alliance. Duguqi's triumphant return also turned into a great escape. Duguqi himself was also caught, and the master who protected Duguqi fled to the death. The mysterious leader of the new alliance therefore launched a rescue operation against Duguqi, and at the same time retaliated against the Beast School.Under the leadership of the principal, some new human schools joined forces to fight against the new alliance, and a scuffle started like this.

And I was the big bargaining chip that the new alliance was going to seize and exchange for Duguqi, that's why the new alliance was willing to spend a lot of money to send the most famous killer in the new alliance.These eight people are all well-known ruthless characters. Although usually a few brothers usually take on tasks together, it is rare for eight people to perform tasks together like now. This also shows how much the new alliance treats me. Pay attention to. Immortal master Li Sheng had no choice but to go to the bounty hunter organization to ask his friends to come to help because of lack of skills, so Granny Dan was sent here by the organization because she was familiar with the situation here.

Fortunately, Granny Dan came in time, otherwise Lilia and I would have been handed over to eight wolf pet fighters.Because of their fierce methods, these eight wolf pet fighters have assassinated people who are not good for the new alliance many times, so they have long been listed in the "reward and punishment list".A master of the bounty hunter organization once sniped and killed these eight people, and made the eight people who thought highly of themselves suffer so much that they had to hide in the end. They didn't dare to come out for many years, so they escaped. When it came to the "reward and punishment list", the eight people immediately ran away in a panic. It can be said that they were bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Grandma Dan looked at me kindly and said, "You actually made the golden elixir just by reading the handwriting I wrote casually?" I said embarrassedly: "That's not the case. I made it after destroying my mother-in-law's two furnaces of precious herbs." Granny Dan smiled and said: "It seems that there is such a thing as a genius in the world, you can figure out the method of alchemy from my simple handwriting, and you can succeed in three furnaces, which has already made many people envious. Grandma used one year to get familiar with the properties of medicinal herbs, another year to master the heat, and another year to master the secrets of alchemy, and it took the fourth year to refine the first batch of alchemy, and the difference between that furnace alchemy and the golden alchemy you made is unknown."

I opened my mouth wide in surprise. I never knew that alchemy would take so much effort and so much attention. It seems that I am really a bit reckless in alchemy. Grandma Dan said: "However, the golden elixir you ate before seemed to be slightly different from the real one. Do you have any remaining golden elixir? Show it to my mother-in-law." I hurriedly took out all the golden elixirs from my body, Grandma Dan looked at the golden elixirs in the bottle and laughed suddenly: "No wonder I feel a little different, none of these golden elixirs is the same as the other, but It is your first time to refine alchemy, so it is very good to be able to refine it like this. When you really master the trick of alchemy, you will find that after refining the golden alchemy, they are all exactly the same, regardless of size, shape or medicinal effect. "

I shyly listened to Grandma Dan's teaching.Li Liya said softly: "Grandma Dan, we still made such a big golden pill." Lilia compared the appearance of the fist-sized golden pill. Grandma Dan laughed and said, "This is because the medicinal properties of each herb are not fully released, and they are evenly fused with other herbs to form such golden pills of different sizes." Grandma Dan poured out a golden pill from the bottle, held it in her hand for a while, looked at it for a while, frowned as if she was doubting something, then sniffed it in front of her nose, closed her kind but majestic eyes. Eye.It took her a while to open her eyes, shook her head and whispered to herself: "This is strange, how could there be such a change?"

I was surprised and said: "What change?" Grandma Dan smiled lightly and said, "This golden elixir was originally used to change the physique and increase the vitality of the human body, but because it breaks the existing form of medicinal plants to extract medicinal properties, it is impossible for the golden elixir to contain vitality. But the one you refined The golden core is a bit weird, it seems that the golden core is filled with a faint but absolute vitality, even I can't think of why there is such a special accident." I murmured: "I always follow the instructions written in my mother-in-law's handbook. I don't know why this happens. Every time after refining alchemy, I am exhausted. However, although my dark energy has been consumed A lot, but very active."

"Dark energy?" Granny Dan whispered, "Could the problem be dark energy?" Granny Dan suddenly asked me: "Lan Hu, what is the attribute of your dark energy?" I said: "No attribute." "No attributes?" Grandma Dan was stunned for a moment, and then came to her senses, "Yes, you are the beast king, so you are naturally without attributes, but since it is without attributes, the life force in the golden elixir, which is very similar to dark energy, is Where did it come from? Lan Hu, can I show my mother-in-law your dark energy?" "Of course." I replied immediately.I condense the dark energy into a beam in the form of a lightsaber and hold it in my hand.

Granny Dan observed the lightsaber carefully, her eyes suddenly lit up, she took a closer look, and said happily: "I see, this abnormal force is not vitality, but the dark energy of plant attributes, and only plant attributes Only when the golden elixir is about to be completed can the dark energy be injected into the golden elixir." Grandma Dan looked at me and said, "The dark energy of the Beastmaster has no attributes, but there is obviously a weak plant-like dark energy in your dark energy. How did you get it?" I said: "This is not obtained through cultivation." Right now, I put myself in the desert in order to dissipate the dark energy from the poisonous needles pierced into my body by the cactus beast, and accidentally possessed a wave of plant-type dark energy. I told her everything, and told her that since I have this special dark energy, my healing ability is much stronger than before.

Grandma Dan pondered for a moment and said: "It is extremely rare for plants to evolve into beasts, and new humans with plant-attributed dark energy are even rarer, almost as rare as your non-attributed dark energy. I didn't expect plant-attributed Dark energy has such a magical effect." Grandma Dan looked at me suddenly, her eyes filled with anticipation, and said, "Lan Hu, are you interested in learning alchemy from Grandma?" "Ah?" Alchemy is so miraculous, how can it be learned if you want to?In fact, I had been wanting to ask her to learn alchemy just now, but I was not ashamed to ask her. Now that Grandma Dan took the initiative, I was surprised.

Grandma Dan said: "You have the talent to learn alchemy, and you also have the rare plant-attributed dark energy. If you can learn alchemy from grandma, you will definitely be better than grandma in the future, and..." Grandma paused and said : "Grandma knows that your Beast King is born with a disability. If you learn alchemy, you might be able to make a pill that can cure the little Beast King's disability. Would you like to learn from Granny?" "I am willing." I did not hesitate this time, and immediately agreed. In fact, after seeing the little dog wolf licking his disabled hind legs after eating the first golden pill yesterday, I vaguely felt that the golden pill might have an effect on its natural disability, otherwise I wouldn’t be so enthusiastic Go to pick herbs and make alchemy. Granny Dan cheerfully said: "Grandma will accept you as an apprentice, but there is a principle for the apprentice of a mother-in-law, you are not allowed to use Dan to harm others." Seeing me kowtow to worship my teacher, Li Liya couldn't help being greedy, she grabbed her mother-in-law's hand and said coquettishly, "I want to worship my mother-in-law as a teacher just like Brother Lanhu." Grandma Dan smiled from ear to ear and said: "Little girl, don't you know how good you are? You have the best new human and the best ancient human genes at the same time. Since you want to learn alchemy from grandma, it's too late for grandma to be happy." .” I scratched my head and said, "Isn't Dan used to improve human physique, how can it harm people?" Granny Dan was obviously in a good mood, and patiently explained to me, saying: "For example, whole grains, these grains are naturally good, and people can get the energy needed for activities by eating these things, but eating too much of any kind of food is harmful to the body. It will have adverse effects. There are even two foods that are originally good for the body, but they will be highly toxic when eaten together. The same is true for Dan, and it may cause harm if taken blindly." "Some pills are made from highly poisonous pills. Just like bee venom can cure rheumatism, highly toxic pills can have beneficial effects on the body if taken correctly. If taken improperly, they will really become poisons. These For the subtleties, mother-in-law will explain in detail to you two later." Grandma Dan's words opened my eyes. I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in alchemy. Grandma Dan said: "Grandma will tell you the basics of alchemy in the past two days, and when the eight wolf cubs are gone, grandma will take you back to gather some common medicinal materials, and use the remaining medicinal materials to refine a furnace of gold." Dan will show you." Grandma Dan said to me again: "Lanhu, your body is seriously injured. You have taken too much golden pills before, and the medicinal power must not have been fully exerted. Now you go to dissolve the medicinal power of the golden pills, and at the same time experience it with your heart. Take a look at the efficacy of the golden elixir, it will be good for you in alchemy in the future." As I said, I sat cross-legged while urging the medicinal power of the golden elixir, while guiding the dark energy to heal my wounds.The dark energy of the plant attribute has a miraculous effect on healing, and there is a golden elixir tonic, which continuously provides dark energy, and the damaged meridians in the body are quickly restored under the action of the golden elixir.And the ribs that were broken before, I also groped to pick them up.Although the golden elixir is extremely effective, it will take some time for the bones to fully grow. When I opened my eyes, Grandma Dan was teaching Lilia how to use willow whips. Although Grandma Dan is an ancient human being, she knew more about willow whips than I did. One old and one young, one explained patiently and interestingly, while the other watched intently and with great interest, so that Lilia didn't even notice me when I walked past.Grandma Dan, um, no, she should be called Master, but I prefer to call her mother-in-law rather than Master. Grandma Dan just glanced at me indifferently, then smiled slightly, and continued to show Lilia the magical ability of Willow Whip. Grandma Dan's eyes are very clever, I just feel that she has seen my recovery status at a glance, which is more powerful than Xiaohu's infrared scan.This is probably the unique effect of the "true essence" cultivated by ancient humans.I have the opportunity to ask my mother-in-law again about this matter.I also went to the two of them and watched my mother-in-law describe the functions of the willow whip to Lilia one by one. After a while, Grandma Dan handed the willow whip to Li Liya, and said with a smile: "Grandma knows so much about the special abilities of the willow whip. As long as you practice hard, one day you will be able to master all the functions of the willow whip." It's all played out." Grandma Dan turned to me again and said, "The medicinal power of the golden elixir has basically dissipated, and it is now circulating in the energy and blood of your whole body, nourishing your internal organs like rain and dew nourishing the dry land. Run it all over your body and blend it into every inch of your body. You may feel itchy, but you must not use it to restrain or scratch it, and wait until the power of the medicine disappears naturally. Mother-in-law is going to meditate for a while, and you can experience this kind of pain yourself carefully. The feeling of releasing the medicinal power will be of great benefit to you in mastering the pill properties in the future." I nodded and said, "Yes, mother-in-law...Master." Grandma Dan smiled and said, "You should call me mother-in-law, which is much more affectionate than Master." I nodded, and Grandma Dan sat in a corner of the secret room and began to meditate. Lilia held the willow whip, looked down at the willow whip, and muttered something to herself in a small mouth. I touched her head and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what did you realize?" She seemed to be taken aback, and when she saw me, she pulled me with a smile on her face and said, "Brother Lan Hu, do you know that this little whip is amazing, it can also make many butterflies, look at it." I just heard my mother-in-law talk about the magic of five or six kinds of willow whips, but I haven't heard of the one that can make butterflies. It should be told by my mother-in-law before I woke up. The little girl held up the willow whip as if offering a treasure, and spit out unfamiliar notes with elongated accents from her small mouth. There were only three notes, but they were full of natural flavor.I'm afraid these notes are not that simple. When I was experiencing these three notes, a trace of cold breath suddenly spewed out from the whip, but it stopped spreading after a certain distance, as if I was affected by it. General bondage. The two green long and narrow leaves on the willow whip immediately floated down. As soon as they landed in the air, the surrounding cold air rushed up, and each leaf was wrapped in a cloud of cold air.In just a few strokes, the two green leaves turned into two beautiful butterflies. Two butterflies formed by the condensed cold air danced around the willow whip as if they were spiritual.The bodies of butterflies are green leaves, covered with a thick layer of cold air, and their wings, whiskers, and long legs are all formed by white cold air. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Lilia's forehead, it seemed that it took a lot of effort to get the two butterflies out. She looked at me with a smile and said: "Brother Lanhu, I succeeded. My mother-in-law just said that I have too little dark energy, and I may not be able to condense butterflies, but I actually summoned two. Look, how beautiful." I also looked at the two butterflies in amazement, as if they were real and unreal. If I hadn't seen their formation process, I couldn't believe it was fake. I stretched out a finger towards the butterfly, teasing the butterfly to fly to my finger.I asked Li Liya, "Did mother-in-law tell me what is the purpose of the butterflies created by the willow whip?" The little butterfly seemed to be really aura, flapping its wings and flying towards me. Lilia also imitated me and stretched out a finger, and another butterfly flapped its jade-like wings made of cold air and flew towards her. During the flight, the invisible but tangible cold air spread out in all directions. As the cold air fluttered, a little crystal light loomed in the cold air, like a little bit of starlight in the bright sky, revealing an indescribable mystery. Lilia lowered her head in thought, as if she was recalling what her mother-in-law said before, and said: "Grandma said, these butterflies condensed by the cold air of the willow whip are invisible, as long as the willow leaves that make up their main body are not completely destroyed, they will It will not disappear, and what condenses into a butterfly is the essence of the cold air, which is abnormally cold, and when facing the enemy, it will attack the enemy together with the willow whip, it is impossible to guard against..." The moment the butterfly landed on my finger, a bone-piercing chill instantly spread to my finger along the butterfly's slender legs.It happened very suddenly, and when I realized it, I realized that the finger had been frozen with a thick layer of frost. The blood coagulated sharply in the blood vessels. I never thought that such a beautiful little thing could have such terrifying power.Fortunately, there is a "Panlong Jin" running in my meridian for 24 hours. When the chill invades my body, the "Panlong Jin" rushes towards my fingers. Fortunately, "Panlong Jin" appeared in time to save my finger, otherwise it would have been frozen into a popsicle. I suddenly thought of Lilia, and looked at her hastily. After seeing her, I felt the magic of willow whip even more.The butterfly was standing on Lilia's white and fat fingers, its two wings were beating slowly and rhythmically, and a pair of sparkling jewel-like eyes shot out a flawless cold light. Lilia seemed to be fine, and her fingers showed no signs of being frozen. Lilia looked at me carefully and said, "Brother Lanhu, are your fingers okay?" I tentatively gave away my finger, and the butterfly fluttered away.Except for some pain when the frozen flesh on the surface of the fingers moved, there was nothing serious about it.I shook my head and smiled wryly, "I didn't expect this beautiful little thing to be so powerful." It suddenly occurred to me that when I was fighting Liu Yuanteng, with his dark energy cultivation, he would surely be able to make dozens of butterflies like this. If he also knew how to make butterflies, I might lose to him. It's a pity that time has passed, and he doesn't have this opportunity anymore. In addition to this special skill displayed by Lilia, I heard several other skills, including the ability of the willow whip to stretch and shorten, and the ability of the willow whip to devour and transform.The ability to devour and transform means that the willow whip can absorb ordinary plant seeds, and after the willow whip is transformed, it will produce certain mutations and become a powerful attack weapon. This special ability is similar to Liu Yuanteng's ability to plant seeds in my body. Using the willow whip will make the seeds more powerful and grow faster.And as a bonus, you don't have to carry these seeds with you.As long as you move your mind, the seeds swallowed by the willow whip will immediately shoot out from the willow whip and into the enemy's body. Another magical feature of the willow whip is that it can change into different blade shapes at will, not just a single whip shape. This feature must be unmatched by other magical weapons.Due to its unique flexible material and soft and soft air, willow whip can be used not only as a soft weapon like a whip, but also as a hard weapon like a sword. But the most astonishing thing is that if Lilia's dark energy cultivation reaches a certain level and she is approved by the spirit beast Yewei Snake in the willow whip, she can summon the Yewei Snake Fusion. Think about it, the power of a leaf-tailed snake alone is already extremely strong, if it can be combined with it, I don't know how powerful it will be. And there is another unique feature that as Lilia grows up, she can gradually use the dark energy of the willow whip, not only the dark energy of the leaf-tailed snake, but also the aura of heaven and earth that this weapon has absorbed for a long time , that's pretty amazing. In short, a quasi-sacred weapon can have so many shocking special abilities that people can't think of any difference between it and a real divine weapon. Thinking back to when I summoned the leaf-tailed snake when I was fighting Liu Yuandeng, the headmaster, several teachers, and referees were surprised. They must know the special ability of the willow whip, but then the headmaster returned the willow whip to Liu Yuandeng. I had to I admire the principal's broad mind. I don't know if Liu Yuanteng knows the special ability of Liubian. He is a guy who wholeheartedly pursues strength. If he knows that he has missed such a powerful weapon, I don't know if he will regret it. I looked at Lilia, the little girl was totally devoted to the fun of playing with the two butterflies. These two butterflies have always existed since they were summoned, as if they would never disappear. I asked, "Lilia, do they always exist like this?" Lilia turned her head and smiled at me: "My mother-in-law said, my dark energy is transformed from the willow whip into cold air, and the butterfly is formed by the condensation of cold air. The cold air consumed by the butterfly can be absorbed by the energy surrounding the willow whip. The cold air makes up for it. As long as the cold air is not exhausted, they will not disappear." That's how it turned out, I suddenly realized that at first I thought that Lilia's dark energy in her body was exhausted because of spitting out those three weird notes, and it turned out that her dark energy was transformed into a special cold air. But what is the role of those three notes? When the three of us emerged from the lake, the night fell as promised, the clear sky was shining with stars, the surrounding wind was clear and the clouds were light, filled with the smell of grass and trees.Accompanied by Granny Dan, an ancient human master, we walked towards the wooden house carefully and calmly. When we were still some distance away from the cabin, a group of mechanical warriors suddenly appeared from the darkness and surrounded us.Aunt Roland also appeared in this team of mechanical warriors, and Lilia called her mother and rushed over. Aunt Roland was dressed in military uniform, as if she was ready to fight at any time.Seeing her battle preparation, I think she should know what happened today, otherwise she should be cooking delicious food for Lilia and me in the small kitchen of the wooden house at this time. When Aunt Roland saw us, her eyes lit up, her expression was obviously much more relaxed, and then she made a gesture, and the mechanical warriors surrounding us immediately dispersed into the shadows everywhere and disappeared.
