Chapter 462 Elder Zhang’s Research

The place where Elder Zhang lives is some distance away from the alchemy room where Zhang Xiaohua lives, but it is on the left side of the inner valley. There is a simple bamboo room in the front and the alchemy room in the back.

Looking at his closed door, Elder Zhang smiled and said, "I haven't been back to this house for months."

Then he looked around and said, "Where are your senior brothers and the others? Are they all at home?"

Valley Master Nie smiled bitterly and said: "Forget about them, even the other elders are like wandering clouds and wild cranes, flying to who knows where."

Elder Zhang said: "We have not been elders for many years. Why don't we still study our own things and do what we like to do?"

Valley Master Nie solemnly said: "Elder Zhang is right. You made a lot of contributions to the Valley of Rejuvenation back then. Now it's up to us."

Then, he said mysteriously: "Just wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Elder Zhang seemed to know what he was going to do. He nodded and said, "Well, go back quickly. I want to see if this kid is actually a green onion."

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes a little after hearing this, and said to herself: "Do you think you can talk like that? What can I be if I'm not an onion? Bah, how can I be an onion!"

Valley Master Nie left quickly with two of his men, leaving a few disciples behind. He opened Elder Zhang's door and helped him clean up.

The inside of the bamboo house is very simple, with a bamboo couch, a bamboo chair, and a bamboo desk, which was cleaned in a short time.

After the disciple left, Elder Zhang entered the room, carefully placed the small package in his hand on the bed, turned to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Young man, sit down."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the only chair in the room, shook her head and said, "Senior should sit down, junior can just stand."

Elder Zhang was not polite, threw his body on the bamboo chair, swayed from side to side, and murmured: "I haven't been so leisurely for a long time. It's such a pleasant day to look at the clouds and listen to the wind."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that he wanted her to answer the conversation, so he shut his mouth tightly and pretended that he only had an ear.

Elder Zhang waited for a long time, but no one answered, so he could only say to himself: "Well, I am getting old too, and I just want to do things I like. I mostly ignore the matters in the Valley of Spring. So, I don’t know that you saved the Valley Master’s daughter and resolved the crisis in the Valley of Rejuvenation.”

Seeing Elder Zhang's words of thanks again, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Old senior is getting older and stronger. He will definitely be able to use his remaining energy to write a new chapter. This kid just met Miss Nie temporarily. Anyone who is serious about this kind of thing will take action. Helpful.”

"People with a heart? Haha" Elder Zhang sighed: "There are fewer people with a heart like this, but there are many other people with a heart."

Then, he asked again: "By the way, young man, you just said you saw the pamphlet with the name Sungrass. What is it called?"

Zhang Xiaohua secretly said: "Oh, I knew you would definitely ask. Even if I want to shut up, I have no chance."

Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to say: "It's not that I didn't tell the seniors, this booklet really happened a long time ago, and it doesn't seem to have been read at my school. At that time, I only saw the wonderful paintings in it, and I just remembered it in my heart. , and the rest has been forgotten.”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua pushed everything, Elder Zhang was not surprised and said: "This is an opportunity, but it's a pity that you were still young at the time and missed it."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"

Elder Zhang thought for a while and said: "The reason for this is quite long. To put it simply, this alchemy technique has been around for a long time. I am afraid it is not even ten thousand years old. It has existed since ancient times, and it is related to alchemy technique. The research on medicinal herbs also has a very long history. But I don’t know what went wrong in the middle. The alchemy of today seems to be very different from the alchemy of the past. Even the herbs are very different. In ancient times, it is said that The herbs grow luxuriantly, and all kinds of rare herbs have existed for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. However, these are all legends, and most of the herbs have been annihilated.

No more traces can be found. "

"Moreover, for some unknown reason, the ancient classics have not been handed down. Not to mention alchemy, even the classics on medicinal herbs are mediocre. Therefore, although there are many surviving medicinal herbs, they have all lost their original names. Even if Someone knew a little bit about it, and it was passed down through word of mouth, and it slowly changed. Now, it is almost completely different from the ancient times."

"Also, over the past thousands of years, many medicinal herbs have grown from the vast desert land. No one knows whether these are ancient varieties or new varieties. Therefore, alchemy, elixir recipes, etc. have also been It changes with it..."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't interrupt, just listened quietly, yes, thousands of years of changes in the world, even boxing techniques will be completely changed, let alone partial alchemy, medicinal herbs, and elixir recipes.

After listening for a while, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask: "How did Elder Zhang know this?"

But as soon as he asked the question, he felt regretful in his heart: "Didn't Elder Zhang just want me to ask? Moreover, the answer to this question is what I saw in the ancient books of the Valley of Rejuvenation."

Unexpectedly, Elder Zhang said: "I was also obsessed with martial arts back then and didn't know anything about alchemy. Later, by chance, just like you did when you were a child, you got a pamphlet left by your predecessors, which told a lot about it. With little knowledge of elixirs and medicinal herbs, I became interested in alchemy, and then I devoted myself to the Valley of Spring and became an elder."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and thought to herself: "It turns out that I left home halfway."

"Oh, it's just a pity. This kind of booklet is also the experience of the predecessors in studying ancient medicinal herbs and alchemy. It is extremely rare. I only got one copy. Later I also read two copies in the Valley of Rejuvenation, but I always felt that there was too little in it. , if you don’t miss the opportunity, I can read the fourth one too.”

Zhang Xiaohua apologized: "It's a pity that the junior is of course too young and really doesn't know the value of the booklet, so I let the senior down."

Elder Zhang shook his head and said, "Do you know what I like to do most now?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Let's collect medicine."

Elder Zhang laughed dumbly and said: "My biggest wish now..."

Halfway through, he took out a book from the small package on the bed, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Read it."

Zhang Xiaohua frowned, took the book, and flipped through the pages. However, the more he read, the more astonished his eyes became, and he couldn't help but ask: "Elder Zhang is so proficient in these herbs, and what's more, these many herbs The habits and medicinal properties are all marked, oh, they even have their respective names from ancient times and now.”

As he was talking, he turned to a place where a thin piece of jade was sandwiched. This page also recorded the Red Flame Grass, and beside it was written: "Ancient Name: Sun Grass".

Zhang Xiaohua took out the jade piece, held it casually with his hand, and said: "It turns out that Elder Zhang has recorded another name of Red Flame Grass in this book."

Elder Zhang smiled and said: "Yes, I also saw this Sun Grass in a booklet in the Valley of Rejuvenation. That's why I was surprised when you mentioned Sun Grass. This ancient name was not given by just anyone. Can know."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and then turned back. Sure enough, there were many herbs in the back that all had two names, many of which Zhang Xiaohua saw in the jade slips. Zhang Xiaohua sighed in his heart and thought to himself: "Yes, although this alchemy technique is extremely valued by others, the basis of elixirs is herbs. Only unknown people like Elder Zhang who have done the basic work of alchemy in extreme detail can Refining better elixirs."

There are a lot of things in the booklet, and it is definitely not something that can be read now. Zhang Xiaohua only flipped through it briefly and closed the booklet. When Elder Zhang saw Zhang Xiaohua finish reading, he said, "I'll let you read one more thing." .”

After saying that, he lowered his head and went to get the small bundle again.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the booklet in her hand and was about to insert the small jade piece in her hand into the book. She habitually scanned the jade piece with her spiritual consciousness. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua stood on the spot.

Elder Zhang did not notice Zhang Xiaohua's behavior. He took out another thinner booklet from the small bag and was about to hand it to Zhang Xiaohua. However, seeing Zhang Xiaohua's stunned look, he felt funny and shouted: "Young man, Young man, please don’t be like this, I’m just making a small contribution to alchemy and promoting the development of alchemy a little bit, you don’t have to worship me so much, I’m just an ordinary person!”

Hearing Elder Zhang's call, Zhang Xiaohua came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Ordinary people do extraordinary things. I am really moved by your spirit. You may be high-minded and reclusive today, and only a few people can see you." to this booklet, but history will remember your achievements, time will prove your wisdom, you will definitely..."

"Stop." Elder Zhang finally blushed and said sheepishly, "I'm not that noble. I just do what I like. Oh, by the way, take a look at these prescriptions."

Although he said this, his tone was a bit affectionate.

Zhang Xiaohua placed the booklet on the table, and carefully placed the small jade piece next to it. She took the thin booklet and saw the three words "Crimson Flame Pill" on the page that was being released by Elder Zhang. The following is the ingredients, refining method, etc., which is the recipe of Jiangyan Pill.

After reading the recipe of Jiang Yan Dan, Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to look at other prescriptions, so she returned the booklet to Elder Zhang. Then with a thought in his heart, he returned to the table and picked up the booklet just now. , he found the names of the several ingredients he had just seen in the prescription in the booklet. When he finished reading, he was surprised. It's exactly the same, but the names of most of the ingredients have been changed.

If there is any difference between these two elixir recipes, it is the difference in refining techniques.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua understood that this Crimson Flame Pill was the Moistening Pulse Pill, but martial arts could not use the alchemy techniques of immortality to change the refining process!
