Chapter 06: Fighting

After taking Nie Kong to a room on the top floor of the Pharmacy Hall, Nie Fengyan had already gone down. Nie Kong sat quietly for a while, and suddenly a figure appeared at the door, wrapped in a mao, his hair was as red as fire. Even in such a cold weather, he was still barefoot. It was the chief spiritual pharmacist of the Nie family, Lian Tianxin.

"Master Tianxin." Nie Kong stood up and bowed to salute.

Lian Tianxin nodded, glanced at the jade token placed on the table in front of him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to his previous seriousness and said, "Little guy, I heard from Feng Yan that there is an old man asking you to come to the pharmacy to find him today with this jade token?"

Seeing Nie Kong nodding, Lian Tianxin said again: "If you don't mind, can you tell me about the situation where the old man gave you a jade plaque?"

There is nothing to hide. Nie Kong immediately told the story of what happened in the Lingyao Hall last evening. Opposite, Lian Tianxin listened quietly, with no expression on his face, but the surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and in the end he could not hide it.

After saying that, Nie Kong asked again: "Master Tianxin, do you know who he is?"

"Ahem, that old man is a fourth-grade spiritual pharmacist in our pharmacy. His level of refining medicine is ordinary and there is nothing to care about." Lian Tianxin's eyes flashed slightly and he said lightly, "Little guy, that old man judged that the 'Rejuvenation Dew' you refined has a 95% fusion degree?

"Yes. Later, I got home and refined four bottles of 'Rejuvenation Dew'. The fusion of medicine is probably slightly worse." Nie Kong smiled.

"Oh? Take it out quickly and take a look?"

Lian Tianxin suddenly became excited. Seeing Nie Kong's expression of astonishment, he quickly suppressed the excitement in his chest, coughed twice awkwardly, and said, "Ah, this, little guy, don't worry, I just want to help you confirm the degree of the fusion of the drug power."

"good."

Nie Kong had originally planned to use the four bottles of "Rejuvenation Dew" to exchange herbs, so there was no need to hide it. The reason why he was shocked was that Lian Tianxin's expression changed quickly just now. So he took advantage of the opportunity of putting his palm into his arms and took them out from his pet backpack.

Lian Tianxin almost used the method of robbing four bottles of Huichunlu from Nie Kong's hand, then pulled open the bottle plug, smelled the fragrance of medicine and said: "The degree of fusion of this bottle is 90% good... Well, this bottle is 91% good... 92% very good... oh, 94% best, best..."

Hearing his progressive comments, Nie Kong suddenly wanted to laugh. The fusion of 94% was the best, what about 95% was superb? What about 96%, 97%... or even 100%?

"I guess you figured out your own methods of refining medicine?"

Before Nie Kong could answer, Lian Tianxin smiled gently, "Through self-study, you can continuously refine five bottles of rejuvenation dew with a fusion degree of more than 90%. Although there are factors of mutant spiritual power, your qualifications in medicine are the only ones I have seen in my life..."

"Little guy, are you willing to be my apprentice?"

Lian Tianxin's tone of this was extremely calm, but the slightly pinched right hand exposed the anxiety hidden in his heart. Especially when he said the last sentence, he stared at Nie Kong with his eyes curled up, full of expectations, as if he could not help but press Nie Kong directly and let him agree.

Nie Kong was stunned for a moment, and then he felt joy in his heart. The way of spreading knowledge in the Tianling Continent is not as developed as in his previous life. Things like medicines and refining are basically passed down through oral transmission and heart. In particular, the formula of spiritual medicine is even more precious. Except for first-grade spiritual medicines like "Rejuvenation Lu", the formula of other second-grade and above spiritual medicines is impossible for ordinary people to know.

Nie Kong wanted to go to the next level of medicine refining, but it would be obvious that it would not be possible to rely solely on Xiangxiang. Now that he can become a disciple of a fifth-grade spiritual medicine master, Nie Kong naturally wants to do so. As for the old man yesterday evening, it can be seen from his instructing him to come to this medicine hall, he also had this meaning, but he did not say it clearly. If Nie Kong agreed to practice Tianxin now, it would not be considered a violation of his promise.

Nie Kong did not agree immediately, and Lian Tianxin didn't care about pretending to be calm, and said in a hurry: "Little guy, I have never accepted an apprentice, so there are not many opportunities like this. That old man, don't worry, just a fourth-grade spiritual medicine master. His level is really poor, and almost all the spiritual medicines refined are 60% fusion, barely qualified. If you learn from him, it would be a waste of your good talent."

Seeing that Lian Tianxin had some misunderstandings, Nie Kong was so amused that he nodded and said, "I..."

"Slow down!"

A thunderous shout suddenly sounded, as if it was a bolt from the blue, suppressing all the sound of Nie Kong's words "will". Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed into the room like a whirlwind. It was the bald old man who asked Nie Kong to come to the refining hall yesterday evening!

The old man's two narrow and long eyes were round, and he stared at Lian Tianxin fiercely, cursing without any image: "You red-haired, you are simply too much! I'm just coming so late for a while, you're slandering me behind my back and digging me for a while! Hey, fourth-grade spiritual medicine master? I'm the elder of the Nie Family Pharmacy Hall, but only a fourth-grade spiritual medicine master? If I don't explain this clearly, I'm going to be with you!"

"Five Elders?"

Looking at the bald old man who was furious and spitting, Nie Kong's heart thrilled. Only then did he realize that this bald old man was not a fourth-grade spiritual pharmacist with a poor level. He was clearly Nie Xingyun, the fifth elder in charge of the Nie Family's Pharmacy Hall. He was also a fifth-grade spiritual pharmacist as Lian Tianxin.

Lian Tianxin was in a good mood and comforted him: "Fifth Lao, please calm down and calm down. This is just a temporary solution. Besides, I was not wrong just now. When you refine spiritual medicine, how many times did you barely reach 60% fusion level? In addition, I don't blame me for this. Who told you to play with the mystery every day? If you had already made things clear with Nie Kong, I would have no place to dig even if I wanted to poach, so you should accept your fate."

Nie Xingyun was so angry that his face was twisted and he said angrily: "Agree to accept his fate? I have been paying attention to him since the first time I entered the pharmacy in September. Yesterday, I decided to accept him as my disciple. Do you tell me to accept his fate? Hehe, how could my disciple give up on you, the red-haired?"

Nie Xingyun was right. When Nie Kong entered the Spiritual Medicine Hall for the first time, he was puzzled by a problem of refining medicine, so he sat there to relax and relieve the depression in his chest. As a result, he met Nie Kong, who was extremely accurate in grasping medicine. At that time, he had a deep impression of Nie Kong, who was thin and weak.

The second time, Nie Kong's appearance changed drastically when he entered the Lingyao Hall, which caused Nie Xingyun's surprise. It happened that the problem that had been bothering him for a long time was solved and he was in a good mood. Seeing that Nie Kong had selected all the materials to refine the rejuvenation dew, he also gave Nie Kong half of the gourd ice plate of water on a whim.

That night, Nie Xingyun even found the drug Nie Kong selected for the previous time and finally concluded that Tianxinzi, Xu Butterfly Grass and Crystal Jade Lotus Seeds can neutralize the toxicity of the Red Demon Flower, and the combination of these four drugs has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones. He accidentally revealed this result to Lian Tianxin. At that time, he paid more attention to Nie Kong and secretly lamented that Nie Kong was not a fire spirit master.

The third time was yesterday evening. After seeing Nie Kong's mutated wood spiritual power, Nie Xingyun made a decision and said that he could not let Nie Kong go without his disciple. It was just that because he had become an instinct for playing mystery, he gave his jade to Nie Kong and asked him to come to the alchemy hall to find him.

This morning, he spent some time studying Nie Kong's bottle of "Rejuvenation Dew", so he came to the pharmacy for a while late, but he didn't expect that the disciple he had chosen would be taken first by Lian Tianxin!
