Mo Yun:"Lucky lucky."

The old man was silent for a while, as if he was digesting the information. Then he slowly sat up, and the wicker chair made a creaking sound.

"Your Martial Dao talent is something I've only seen in my entire life." Zhou Bo said with some emotion in his tone.

Mo Yun smiled and did not talk much about this matter.

He came to Zhou Bo today. In addition to reporting good news, he mainly wanted to ask some questions about Pill Dao.

He has been studying the book "True Explanations of the Pill Dao" given by Zhou Bo.

Since adding points to Life Value last time, his Comprehension and understanding ability have been significantly improved. The originally obscure Pill Dao theory is no longer so difficult to read, and he has learned a lot over time.

Of course, even so, there are still many things that we don't understand.

"Zhou Bo, I would like to ask you something. It is mentioned in the seventh section of the third volume of True Explanations of the Pill Dao that when refining Qi-Blood Pill, the heat control should be turned four times and three times."

"What do the four turns and three times refer to specifically? I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don't quite understand it."

Mo Yun asked as he took out the fluffy book "True Explanations of the Pill Dao" from his arms and opened the marked page.

Zhou Bo took the book, glanced down, stroked his gray beard and said, "Well, this is easy to say, but not easy to do."

"Four turns means that the fire intensity in refining Alchemy Furnace needs to be changed four times, from slow fire to strong fire, from strong fire to medium fire, from medium fire to slow fire again, and finally the fire collects the elixir."

As he spoke, he gestured in the air with his skinny fingers, as if there was an invisible chain Alchemy Furnace there.

"Three times means that during the process of changing the fire intensity, the furnace lid must be opened three times to allow the medicinal gas to flow back, and then closed tightly again. This is to allow the medicinal power to be fully integrated and avoid medicinal conflict."

"You won't understand these just by reading books. You have to actually practice alchemy to truly understand them."

Mo Yun suddenly realized. "So that's it..."

After thinking for a moment, Mo Yun asked a few more questions that he didn't understand.

Zhou Bo answered them one by one without any trouble.

Mo Yun knows, Zhou Bo explains to him Pill Dao is very patient, never thinks the question is too simple, and answers every question with all his heart.

After chatting for almost a stick of incense, Zhou Bo suddenly stopped and looked at Mo Yun carefully, a trace of deep surprise flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"Mo Yun, you seem to have improved a lot. Your Pill Dao talent is the only one I've seen in my life!"

Mo Yun:"..."

Why do these words sound so familiar? It seemed to be the same sentence when I mentioned the talent of Martial Dao just now.

Zhou Bo continued, "The questions you just asked may seem simple, but in fact they are all about key points. Being able to ask these questions shows that you not only understand the book, but also read it thoroughly."

The old man paused and said seriously, "Your current theoretical level is enough. You can start trying to make elixirs by yourself in your free time."

Mo Yun refreshed. "Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Zhou Bo rolled his eyes at him, "Let's start with Qi-Blood Pill. This is the most basic Elixirs. The materials are not expensive and are suitable for novices to practice. As for the materials-"

The old man pointed to Precious Herb Plot behind him. "You can just ask me to get it directly. Blood-Stopping Grass, Qi-Gathering Flower, Red Essence Grass, there are many of these in ordinary medicine gardens."

Mo Yun's eyes lit up, and the joy on his face almost overflowed. "Thank you so much Zhou Bo!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Zhou Bo waved his hand, with a smile on his thin face.

"I'll say it first. I am the one who produced the materials. I won't ask you to compensate if you make it useless. But if you refine the elixir, it will go to me."

Mo Yun nodded without hesitation. "That's natural!"

Who doesn't love free leveling?

Normally, novices who are learning to refine alchemy don't know how many furnaces of materials they have to waste before they can refine the first elixir.

The cost of purchasing materials alone is a prohibitively huge expense that he cannot afford with his current savings.

But Zhou Bo provides materials for free, which is equivalent to erasing the biggest cost.

Although the refined elixir belongs to Zhou Bo, he has earned the most valuable things, experience and skills.

And most importantly, raising Pill Dao Craft can also charge White Mark on your wrist.

Mo Yun already has a clear plan in mind: taking some time to practice elixir every day can be regarded as a balance between work and rest after practicing martial arts.

After asking Zhou Bo some precautions for alchemy, Mo Yun said goodbye and left.

When we walked out of Precious Herb Plot, the sky was already dark.

The setting sun completely sank into the western mountains, leaving only the last dark red afterglow on the horizon, like ashes burned by fire.

The air of Spirit Herb Garden is still filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, and a few fireflies are floating leisurely over Medicinal Fields, flickering in the dusk.

Zhao Gang squatted at the door of Spirit Herb Garden, waiting for him, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Mo Yun come out, Zhao Gang quickly stood up and patted the dust on his butt. "Is it done?"

"Yes." Mo Yun nodded, glanced at the sky that had completely darkened, and said with some emotion, "The time is almost up, and the last day Patrol Duty is finally over."

"Yes!" Zhao Gang grinned, his rough black face full of uncontrollable joy.

The two returned to the shift change point, handed over the work to Manor Guard, who took over, and left without looking back.

Starting from tomorrow, they will be officially Third-Class Guard Manor Guard, and they no longer have to go in circles on a fixed route.

After dinner, Mo Yun went to North Mountain's feet to practice boxing as usual.

The night is like water and the moonlight is like gauze.

North Mountain The flat gravel ground under your feet is still the same as before. The moonlight shines on the fine stones, glowing with a faint silvery glow, as if they are covered with a thin layer of frost.

A few crooked-neck pine trees swayed gently in the night wind, the pine needles rustled, and occasionally unknown birdsong came down from the mountains and echoed in the empty valley.

Mo Yun first swallowed one Qi-Blood Pill and one Dragon-Tiger Pill, then took Nameless Fist Technique's stance and started practicing boxing.

The punch rises, the punch falls.

One move at a time, no rush or impatience.

The invisible pressure of North Mountain still enveloped him, and the Blood Qi in his body accelerated under the pull of this pressure. Force Energy surged through the meridians more smoothly than usual.

After practicing for nearly an hour, until his whole body was soaked with sweat, his clothes were wet and clinging to his body, and his arms and legs began to feel faintly sore, Mo Yun finally stopped.

He exhaled a long breath, which formed a straight white line in the night, extending for four or five feet before slowly dissipating.

"There is no need to be on duty tomorrow, just wait for the Third-Class Guard Manor Guard process to be completed. The day after tomorrow is a holiday..."

Mo Yun was thinking in his mind as he walked back.

"I'll go to Logistics Office tomorrow afternoon and buy Elixirs. Then I can go home. I don't know how my sister is doing these days and whether the store's business has picked up."

Thinking of my sister Mo Yiyi, the corners of Mo Yun's mouth curled up unconsciously.

I returned to the courtyard, fetched water, washed myself, and read Liu Niang's Pill Dao notes for a while, then Mo Yun went to bed to rest.

The next day, before dawn, Mo Yun got up as usual.

After washing, he first swallowed today's portion of Qi-Blood Pill and Dragon-Tiger Pill, then pushed out the door and went straight to North Mountain.

North Mountain was shrouded in a thin layer of mist in the early morning. The air was cold and moist. The weeds on both sides of the mountain road were covered with dewdrops. When Mo Yun walked by, the corners of his robe were wet.

Walking to the familiar gravel land, Mo Yun took a deep breath and started practicing boxing.

However, after practicing for less than half an hour, Commander Li's figure suddenly appeared in Mo Yun's sight.

"Haha, Little Mo, you are indeed here." Seeing Mo Yun, Commander Li laughed twice and walked over quickly.

Seeing the smiling faces of Commander Li and Mo Yun, they couldn't help but look happy.

As expected, the rewards issued by Village Master have arrived!
