Chapter 281 I Learned a Lot
"Grandpa! You... you are truly a man of high character!"
"Don't be greedy for external things! Grandson... Grandson is ashamed!"
Zhou Peng now believes more and more that he has encountered a great opportunity!
Zhou Wan also smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes, Mr. Gaoyi, my son is so lucky to have you as his teacher!"
The way the mother and son looked at Yun Chen had changed from initial awe to complete admiration.
"Okay, forget the formalities."
Yun Chen waved his hand and said without further delay: "Peng'er's injury is of great importance. I will go get some herbs and teach him how to make pills."
As he spoke, he walked straight to the medicine shelf on the left.
This time, he was not polite at all.
Dozens of rare auxiliary medicines needed to refine Huiyuan Dan were taken in sufficient quantities.
Any one of these herbs, if released outside, would be enough to cause a small sensation.
Then, he pretended to pick out a few young and mild medicinal herbs.
Zhou Peng and Zhou Wan followed behind, watching Yun Chen selecting medicinal herbs as if they were familiar with the back of his hand, and they felt more and more admiration in their hearts.
Yun Chen was seen holding a large pile of medicinal herbs in his arms, and then the bronze ring on his left index finger lit up slightly.
The next second, the mountain of medicinal herbs in his arms disappeared out of thin air!
Just now he tried to touch the ring with his spiritual sense, and found that it was just like what was said in secular novels, and it could really open the storage ring.
Yun Chen looked at the two people's expressions with satisfaction, turned around and walked out of the treasure house.
"Let's go to the alchemy room."
……
The three of them left the treasure house and returned to the outside of the alchemy room.
Zhou Wan personally pushed open the heavy stone door.
"Sir, please."
Yun Chen stopped at the door, turned around, and said to Zhou Wan with a serious look: "Madam Zhou, when I am refining the elixir, it is forbidden to disturb me."
"No matter what sounds you hear or what happens during this time, no one is allowed to get even a step closer to the alchemy room. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
Zhou Wan dared not disobey: "Don't worry, sir! I will be guarding the door myself. I won't let even an ant crawl in, let alone a person!"
"very good."
Yun Chen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhou Peng: "Peng'er, come in with me."
Zhou Peng rubbed his hands excitedly and followed in quickly.
"boom--!"
The heavy stone door of the alchemy room slowly closed.
Yun Chen turned around, and his previous amiable look disappeared in an instant.
"Peng'er."
"Here! Grandpa!"
Zhou Peng shuddered and stood up straight.
"Do you know what is the most important thing in alchemy?"
Zhou Peng remembered the conversation at the entrance of the treasure house and immediately replied, "Yes, I am willing to give it up!"
“That’s the state of mind.”
Yun Chen shook his head: "I'm talking about the foundation."
“A towering building rises from the ground; without a solid foundation, it is nothing but a castle in the air.”
"The foundation of alchemy is the control of medicinal materials."
The storage ring in his hand flashed with light, and the next moment, a large pile of messy medicinal herbs were thrown onto the stone platform in front of Zhou Peng with a "crash".
There are black thorn vines with sharp barbs and tangled roots.
There are bone flowers that emit a stench like a rotting corpse and have sticky liquid on their petals.
There are also some wiregrasses that are so hard and slippery that you need special tools to peel off the shell...
They are all auxiliary medicinal materials of very low grade, but extremely complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive to process.
Zhou Peng looked at the pile of dirty and smelly things in front of him and his face turned green on the spot.
What is this...for?
Yun Chen threw a small knife and several unknown tools in front of him:
"Today, I will teach you how to identify the characteristics of medicinal herbs and how to process them."
"See these?"
"Remove the impurities, stingers, and mucus..."
"Everything was cleaned up, not a single detail was left."
"This is training your patience and also training your spiritual perception."
"When you can perfectly remove all 365 thorns from a thorn vine with your eyes closed, you will be considered a true beginner."
"This also lays the most important foundation for you to refine elixirs to warm and nourish your meridians in the future."
Zhou Peng's face fell instantly, looking uglier than crying.
What are you doing?
He fully expected that he could learn some profound things by coming in...
The profound fire-controlling techniques, or the magical alchemy techniques, but in the end... he was asked to do such rough work?
Isn’t this what the apprentices in the pharmacy do?
But when he looked up, he remembered his mother's words, the pain of his meridians being broken, and the scene of becoming a superior person in the future, admired by thousands of people.
Isn’t it just processing some medicinal herbs?
Endure it!
"Yes! Grandson... obey!"
Zhou Peng picked up the knife and began to deal with the pile of garbage in front of him.
Yun Chen walked to the side leisurely, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and looked like he was "supervising and guiding".
In fact, his mind had already sunk into his dantian and the newly acquired storage ring.
While silently practicing the "Nine Dragons Infinite Skill" to recover the true energy consumed in the previous battle with Gu Hong, he separated a wisp of spiritual consciousness to explore the internal space of the storage ring.
This space is indeed not small...
Moreover, the spiritual imprint is very simple, it seems that the original owner has long been dead.
Zhou Peng, this idiot, only knew that the ring had a large space, but he didn't know that its true value lay in its concealment and convenience.
The Zhou family...haha, they are really a boy who brings wealth.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the alchemy room, Zhou Peng was in a panic.
When Zhou Peng was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back, Yun Chen finally "slowly woke up".
He opened his eyes and glanced at the pile of usable herbs on the stone platform: "Hmm, not bad."
"Although there are flaws, being able to achieve this level for the first time is a sign of talent."
When Zhou Peng heard this, he immediately felt that all the aches and pains in his body disappeared.
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa! I will definitely work harder!"
"Ah."
Yun Chen stood up and walked slowly to the alchemy furnace: "What you learned today is the foundation of alchemy. You must not slack off."
"When you go back, rehearse every step of processing the herbs today in your mind. I will continue to test you tomorrow."
"Yes! Yes! Grandson will remember grandpa's teachings!"
When Zhou Peng thought about learning more "advanced" content tomorrow, he wished he could go back and meditate right away.
"Open the door." Yun Chen said lightly.
"Squeak-"
The stone door of the alchemy room opened in response.
"Grandpa's teachings are so... so brilliant!"
“I learned a lot today!”
Zhou Peng clenched his fists and spoke excitedly to his mother.
Zhou Wan, who had been waiting at the door anxiously, immediately came forward.
"Sir! Peng'er!"
When she saw that her son was in a dishevel and looked exhausted, but his eyes were filled with unprecedented brilliance, she finally felt relieved.
