C1715 Master
After hearing Han Xue'er's words, Zhong Ming nodded slightly. After practicing a few times, seeing that the Genuine Qi was still unable to make it, he sighed and sat on the bed, deep in thought.
"Zhong Ming, the three day time is almost up, why don't you consider going to see Grandpa Ye Feng?" Han Xue'er asked Zhong Ming in bewilderment.
Zhong Ming frowned. Although three days were up, but with his current ability, it would be a bit inappropriate to go see Grandpa Ye Feng. Right now, he couldn't even concoct the most basic of cultivation pills, right?
Han Xue'er could see Zhong Ming's worry, so she turned to Zhong Ming and said: "Rest assured Zhong Ming, Grandpa Ye Feng will not say anything, moreover, it was Grandpa Ye Feng who took the initiative to look for you." Han Xue'er smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming nodded, although he said so, but would Ye Feng really accept someone who knew nothing as his disciple?
After hesitating for a while, Zhong Ming finally decided to go see Ye Feng.
At this moment, the alchemist competition had long since passed …
"Hey, why isn't that genius here?!"
"Do you think it's because of cheating? I was lucky enough to refine the medicinal pill last time."
"That's not certain. After all, he's still so young. How could he possibly have such strong strength?"
"I announce that the talented youngster from before will not come." Ye Feng said with a very serious expression on his face.
"He won't come?"
"Could it be, that brat and Ye Feng are related in some way?"
"I think that boy will become the last disciple of Ye Feng!"
"How is this possible, Ye Feng hasn't taken in a disciple in so many years!"
In the Alchemist competition without Ye Feng, everything seemed very ordinary, and in the end, only two contestants were able to successfully enter into the third round, which included the young woman sitting to the right of Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming quickly arrived at the location of the Alchemist Competition. However, the place had long since become deserted. Not a single person was present.
Zhong Ming sighed and was about to return to the tavern, an old voice sounded from behind him.
"Zhong Ming, are you going to leave now?"
The corner of Zhong Ming's mouth slightly raised, because Zhong Ming did not hear wrongly, this old voice was Ye Feng's voice.
"Grandpa Ye Feng!" Zhong Ming turned his head and shouted at Grandpa Ye Feng.
"I thought you little rascal wouldn't come." Zhong Ming smiled and said to Ye Feng.
"Actually... I really didn't want to come at the beginning, but I thought about it for a few days and Han Xue'er kept on advising me. Also, I really wanted to recover my strength so I came to find you. Zhong Ming sighed, and asked Ye Feng with a begging tone.
"Brat, of course I'll help you. Since I agreed to help you as my disciple, why would I ignore you?" Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
"Master, your disciple pays his respects!" Zhong Ming kneeled on the ground and directly kowtowed with both of his fists.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get up. I'm not as rigid as the other masters, we're both teacher and friend!" Both teacher and friend! " Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming stood up excitedly.
"Alright, come with me." Ye Feng said to Zhong Ming, and then turned around and walked towards the back of the hall where the alchemists were waiting.
Seeing this, Zhong Ming also followed Ye Feng inside.
Before they entered the room, Zhong Ming smelled a strong medicinal smell. Although it was the smell of medicine, it was very comfortable to smell this thick smell.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a bunch of Pill Furnace s that he needed to use for refining pills.
"So many Pill Furnace!" Zhong Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is only a portion of it. There are even more Pill Furnace." Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
"Now, concoct the most basic hemostasis pill for me." Ye Feng said to Zhong Ming, and then he casually took a Pill Furnace and gave it to Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming took the Pill Furnace, and he could clearly feel its weight. He subconsciously told himself that this Pill Furnace was not simple, and was definitely not an ordinary Pill Furnace, it should be a high quality Pill Furnace that had been polished and refined many times!
"This kind of Pill Furnace... Isn't that great?! " Zhong Ming asked Ye Feng uncertainly. He did not know if Ye Feng had taken out the wrong Pill Furnace for him to use, but he was sure that Zhong Ming was confident enough to use the previous Pill Furnace because with his control over the fire, Zhong Ming would definitely not let the Pill Furnace be damaged. However, with Zhong Ming's current strength, he was not sure if he would be able to damage the Pill Furnace.
"Un, that's right, the quality of this Pill Furnace is indeed not bad. You must be careful in refining pills." Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
"Honestly speaking, Master, I am not confident, let alone refining a most basic hemostasis pill. Just give me a not very good Pill Furnace." Zhong Ming said without any confidence as he looked at Ye Feng.
"No, use this." Ye Feng said firmly towards Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming saw that Ye Feng was very determined, and of course, he didn't have any reason to reject it either, so he had no choice but to use this Pill Furnace to refine the most basic hemostasis pill.
"First... "Light the fire." Zhong Ming kept muttering to himself as he slowly started a fire.
"Then, warm up." Zhong Ming placed the Pill Furnace above the flame and let it grill the Pill Furnace non-stop.
In order to ensure that the Pill Furnace could achieve the best pre-heat state, Zhong Ming kept using his own hands to probe, until Zhong Ming's hands were red from the heat.
Ye Feng saw that Zhong Ming's hands were red from the roasting, although he felt a bit of heartache, but this was also the most basic test for Zhong Ming. If Zhong Ming could not even do this, then he would have to consider whether he had misjudged the person or not.
"Next, put in the herbs." Zhong Ming continued to mutter under his breath. After making sure that the Pill Furnace was preheated, he slowly put the herbs in his hands into the Pill Furnace.
"Wait …" Zhong Ming breathed in slowly and waited.
Time passed minute by minute, Zhong Ming's nerves were tense. In fact, Zhong Ming was very clear in his heart, the first pill that a beginner would learn was the Hemostasis Pellet, which was even simpler than the ones he had refined in the Alchemist Competition. However, Zhong Ming didn't have the ability from before, so refining this kind of pellet was also a very difficult task for him.
Zhong Ming's sweat slowly flowed down from his forehead. Zhong Ming tried his best to stay as far away from the Pill Furnace as possible to prevent his sweat from evaporating and returning to the Pill Furnace.
After a while, Zhong Ming mustered up his courage and walked in front of the Pill Furnace. He extinguished the flames underneath the Pill Furnace and slowly baked the pills inside the Pill Furnace with the remaining heat of the Pill Furnace.
"Alright." Zhong Ming took a deep breath and slowly took out the pellet from the Pill Furnace.
A faint smell of herbal medicine entered Zhong Ming and Ye Feng's nostrils, Zhong Ming had a feeling that the pill he refined this time should have been almost successful.
Zhong Ming handed the pill to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng slowly took the pill from Zhong Ming's hand. Then, he took a look at it in the sunlight.
Time flowed by second by second. Every minute and every second was like a year to Zhong Ming!
Finally, Ye Feng gave the final answer: "Yes, Zhong Ming refined very well."
After Zhong Ming heard Ye Feng's words, he took a deep breath and felt very comfortable in his heart. After all, the first round of the test had finally ended.
"Zhong Ming, it seems like you haven't completely lost your perception of the pills. If the pills you concoct had one more second or one less, it would be impossible for you to reach your current level." Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
Receiving Ye Feng's praise, Zhong Ming was naturally very happy, but he still showed a very modest expression and said to Ye Feng: "Master, your Pill Furnace is still better, otherwise, I would not have been able to concoct this kind of Blood Coagulation Pellet."
"Haha, Zhong Ming, to tell you the truth, this Pill Furnace is actually the worst in this group of Pill Furnace." Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming was a bit embarrassed, it seemed that Ye Feng did not trust him, otherwise, he would not be able to give him this kind of Pill Furnace.
However, this kind of Pill Furnace was a good choice for Zhong Ming.
"Brat, although you have successfully refined the Blood Coagulation Pill, it is still far from over. This is just my first test for you." Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.0
"I understand master, I will work harder!" Zhong Ming nodded and said to Ye Feng.
"However, Master, I heard from the outside world that you have never taken in disciples before. Why did you still want to take me as your disciple? I think the reason must be more than that." Zhong Ming asked Ye Feng curiously.
"Brat, it seems that you're quite smart." Ye Feng smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
Ye Feng nodded, "I do have a bit of selfishness in my heart."
Zhong Ming was very puzzled, although he wanted to ask, but he knew it would be very rude if he opened his mouth now, so he waited for Ye Feng to tell him.
"Do you want to know why?" Ye Feng smiled and asked Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming nodded. Of course, Zhong Ming wanted to know why Ye Feng accepted him as a disciple.
"Brat, I'll tell you then. This is a secret that I have been hiding in my heart for many years." Ye Feng smiled, and then his complexion turned very bad.
The reason why I haven't accepted disciples for so many years is because the first disciple I took in has already betrayed my sect and used all the things I gave him for so many years in a bad place. As for what that place is, you don't need to know right now. Ye Feng explained to Zhong Ming.
"I'll represent you?" Zhong Ming asked Ye Feng in surprise. It would take a while for him to recover, and Zhong Ming didn't know when that would happen.
Ye Feng seemed to see Zhong Ming's worry, so he patted Zhong Ming's shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, little brat. Naturally, the competition won't start so soon, it will take at least six months, and I also believe that you will be able to recover to your peak condition in these six months."
Zhong Ming actually felt a lot of pressure in his heart when he saw Ye Feng resolutely say this, but he braced himself and said to Ye Feng: "Rest assured Master, in six months! I will definitely return to my original state. "
"That's all I have to say." Ye Feng nodded at Zhong Ming and said seriously.
"Understood, Master." Zhong Ming nodded.
Zhong Ming, who had been refining with Ye Feng for a while, then returned to the inn.
