The Alchemist God

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye. The mountains in the blood-red abyss are continuous, and the wind and rain have long been covered with a thick layer of vegetation. The spiritual power in the mountains is strong, and many rare treasures have been born. Herbs, cloud deer, badger and other animals walk through the mountains, making this mountain forest a treasure land for hunters and pharmacists.

It's just that people are spreading a story, saying that there is an immortal in the mountains, the sun and the moon shine together, immortal, proficient in spiritual arts, and changeable, but no one seems to have seen such an immortal.

It's the rainy season again, the raindrops are falling in the mountains and forests, flowing along the green leaves and falling among the grasses, moistening the soil, on the cliffs among the mountains, a figure can be seen faintly climbing on the rocks Crawling, it was a white-haired old man, carrying a small bamboo basket behind his back, with clusters of herbs in it.

The old man's face was slightly rosy, and he carefully moved the root of a medicinal herb repeatedly with a shovel, for fear of hurting the root and affecting the medicinal properties of the medicinal herb.

Nearly ten meters below the rock wall, a girl about four or five years old was wearing a cyan dress, looking up at the old man with her face up, her big watery eyes flickering, she put her hands around her mouth, and said softly: Grandpa, be careful!

The old man laughed: Meng Ye, don't run around, Grandpa will come down after picking this ambergris.

be careful……

The girl murmured and seemed dissatisfied with Grandpa taking such a risk in collecting herbs.

In a blink of an eye, a plant of ambergris was pulled out by the old man, holding the protruding part of the rock tightly with one hand, and carefully throwing the ambergris into the bamboo basket with the other, and then came down from the rock wall step by step, but the rainy day The rock wall was very slippery, and at a height of about three meters from the ground, the old man suddenly stepped on the air and fell down.

Boom!

Fortunately, there is grass below, but the old man was still hurt by the stones in the grass, bared his teeth and screamed in pain, the girl hurried forward and helped the old man: Grandpa, where is the injury, where is the injury...

Seeing the girl's worry, the old man immediately endured the pain, laughed and stroked the girl's braids, and said with a smile: Grandpa is fine, I'm just teasing you, Mengye, let's go, this ambergris is in the garden of Bailing City. It can be sold at a good price in the pharmacy, maybe twenty gold coins, and then grandpa can buy a lot of candied gourds for you to eat.

Woo...

The girl nodded, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, she took the old man's hand and walked out of the blood-red abyss step by step.

...

Bailing City, rebuilt in the south of the ruins, is a full 50 miles away from the blood-red abyss. It has changed from a famous city with a population of 3 million to a small city with a population of less than 200,000. Most of the residents have been scattered to It is among Sunset City and Shangyang City, which is why Feng Jixing chose to set the Lingnan capital in Sunset City.

In the rebuilt Bailing City, there were crowds of merchants. Before sunset the next day, the figure of the old man and the girl appeared in the city. It is also a good wish to name my granddaughter Li Mengye, which is derived from the dream leaf grass in the herbal medicine!

Li Mengye's immature little hands tightly grasped the palm of her grandpa. She knew that the ambergris plant in the bamboo basket behind her grandpa would be the family's source of income for the whole year. Her mother fell ill after giving birth to her. Nian was bedridden, and his grandfather was old, so he didn't have much time to collect herbs, and his grandfather's alchemy skills were not enough to extract the medicine elements of Ambergris Herba to refine medicine, so he could only sell herbs directly to make money.

This ambergris is the first valuable herb they have picked in three months.

Zhennan Pharmacy, a pharmacy with only a shopkeeper, is also one of dozens of pharmacies in the small town. In the past, all the herbs collected by Li Shou were sold from here.

Hey, Uncle Li is here. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is a fat man. He weighs at least 300 catties, making his 1.6-meter body look very bloated and round. His eyes swept across Professor Li's bamboo basket , suddenly smiled brightly: Is this time to sell medicine and buy rice again?

yes.

Professor Li put down the bamboo basket, carefully took out the ambergris, and said, This ambergris has a fat root, and it should have grown for several years. Shopkeeper Liu, please give me a good price.

Hey, this is picked in the blood-red abyss, right? I heard that there are swift wolves in the blood-red abyss. It's really not easy to tear apart your old bones. Shopkeeper Liu took it casually. Ambergris, said: The properties of the medicine are really good, and the medicine is full of essence, how about this, I will give you ten gold yin coins.

What, only ten Jinyin coins? Li Shou was taken aback for a moment, and said, Shopkeeper Liu, the ambergris that Defu Pharmacy received half a month ago was twenty Jinyin coins a plant, and those ambergris The grass is definitely not as full as this one. You see, I come to you to sell herbal medicines to earn some money to support my family and cure diseases. I just want to pay less business fees. You see... my family has Young and old, you must not cheat me, if that's the case, I might as well sell it in a commercial store.

Huh, the old guy really knows how to say... Shopkeeper Liu said with impatience in his eyes, Here I will give you, this is thirty gold Yin coins. Is it enough to take this ambergris from you?

Counting the Jinyin coins one by one, Li Shou's old eyes were full of smiles, he took out one of the Jinyin coins and said with a smile: Look, shopkeeper Liu, I want to buy a roast chicken for my granddaughter , please help me turn this gold coin into one hundred silver coins, thank you.

so troublesome!

Shopkeeper Liu impatiently took out a purse containing a hundred silver coins, and said, Here, take it, let's go, don't be an eyesore in front of my shop.

Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu!

Li Shu walked out of the pharmacy holding Li Mengye's hand with a smile, bought a bamboo leaf chicken from a small stall beside him and handed it to Li Mengye, and said with a smile: Eat, eat, the rest of the money will be given to your mother. Let’s buy soup and medicine!”

Li Mengye hugged a chicken happily, took a greasy bite, and smiled even more happily: Grandpa, it's delicious.

Then eat more.

But the girl tore off a delicious chicken leg and handed it to the old man, smiling like a flower: Grandpa, let's eat together!

Li Shou was taken aback: Grandpa is not hungry.

Meng Ye is hungry, and grandpa must be hungry too. If grandpa doesn't eat, I won't eat either. The little girl blinked her big eyes and said sensiblely.

The old man was very moved, so he took the chicken leg and ate it bite by bite, while the girl just looked at it like that, for fear that grandpa would lie to her and hide the chicken leg for herself but refused to eat it.

...

Turning a street corner, three men with sly eyebrows stared at Li Shou from a distance behind. After all, 30 gold Yin coins are not a small number, it is enough for a family of ten to eat and drink for several years.

Second brother, do it, a kid, an old guy, they will do it as soon as they enter the alley! said one of the gangsters with a mustache.

Okay, let's do it!

The old man who stepped into the alley had never thought of the coming of bad luck. He was hit hard on the back of the head, and the money bag around his waist was quickly snatched away. The gangster's legs shouted loudly: Bad guy, put down grandpa's money, come quickly, catch the bad guy, catch the bad guy!

Get out of here! The gangster kicked Li Mengye's hand away and stepped on her neck, and the girl's face turned red immediately.

Let go of my granddaughter.

Li Shou hurried forward and bumped into the gangster's waist from behind.

Old thing, go to hell!

Another gangster waved a bamboo stick and hit the old man's leg heavily!

Crack...

The sound of bones breaking came, and the old man's leg was broken.

Grandpa... let go of my grandpa... the girl cried.

The gangsters looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to show it. One of them pointed at Li Shou and said, If you dare to speak out, be careful that I will kill you, we are members of the Tianshu League!

The Tianshu League, the external organization of the Northern Qi Mansion in Bailing City, is responsible for reselling the Tianshu written by the Beiqi Mansion to mercenaries, bandits, etc. It is the largest gang in Bailing City.

When the gangsters left, the old man looked depressed. The money he had worked hard for several months was gone.

Li Mengye hurriedly helped his grandfather up, and cried, Grandpa, are you alright?

Grandpa is fine, Mengye won't cry.

The old man wiped away the girl's tears, and looked into the distance tremblingly. He absolutely could not offend the Tianshu League. Even if he reported this matter to the government, it would be useless, but it was his own leg, which he was struggling with with a wooden stick. Standing up, she said, Meng Ye, let's go, let's go home, let's go home...

Woo, grandpa...

The girl burst into tears, looking at her grandfather's appearance, she felt indescribably distressed.

...

Boss, how much is the bone healing potion?

Two days later, a childish voice came from a small town southwest of Bailing City. Li Mengye held a pile of silver coins in his hand and asked timidly with his big eyes open.

Two gold yin coins for the first-class bone healing potion, little girl, your dozen or so silver yin coins are not enough to fit between your teeth, let's go, let's go, don't hinder our business.

Boss, my grandfather is bedridden and needs medicine. You can do it.

Go away, we are running a pharmacy, not doing good deeds, get out, don't get in the way of our business, if you want medicine that doesn't cost money, go into the mountains to collect medicine and grind it yourself!

me……

Li Mengye's tears of grievance swirled in her eyes, she turned around and looked in the direction of the blood-red abyss, as if she had made up her mind suddenly.

...

In the blood-red abyss, there are many mountains.

Deep in the mountains, in a dark cave, starlight lingered around a stone statue. Suddenly, there was a snap, the rock at the finger of the stone statue split open, the starlight flowed, and a powerful finger slowly stretched out, snap! In the sound of slap, the rocks covering the statue's body cracked one after another. The young man who had been sleeping in the stone for four years finally woke up. His face was covered with beards. confused.

Who am I? Where is this?
