Before you know it, the night has quietly fallen.

Li Chen was sitting cross-legged in his room, practicing the art of spitting.

Suddenly!

A thin figure appeared in front of the door. Immediately, there was a nervous knock on the door.

"Eun Gong, have you slept?"

Li Chen slowly opened his eyes, this voice was a little timid, it was not the Ning family brothers and sisters, but from the little girl who pounced on Zhang Zhong during the day, Zhang Lingxiu.

His first reaction was that Zhang Zhong's injuries had deteriorated, and the little girl came to him for help.

Thinking of this, Li Chen waved his sleeves. The door creaked open, revealing a delicate figure, who was gently raising his fingers and knocking on the door.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Li Chen asked straight to the point: "What's wrong with your father?" ”

Zhang Lingxiu replied anxiously: "My father is very good, he has already slept!" ”

Li Chen saw that it was not what he thought, and his expression was a little stunned: "Uh, then what are you doing in my room at night?" ”

"It was the patriarch's grandfather who asked me to come, he said that you have a life-saving grace for Ningjiabao and my father, let me ......" Speaking of this, her cheeks turned red, and she was speechless.

Although Zhang Lingxiu is only thirteen or fourteen years old, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and she herself is also very smart and understands her future destiny.

Therefore, when the patriarch Ning Changhe told her, she came to knock on Li Chen's door.

Li Chen's face immediately appeared angry, and he shouted: "What nonsense! ”

Zhang Lingxiu was taken aback, trembling all over, and knelt down directly to apologize to Li Chen.

Li Chen hurriedly helped her up and said, "You get up, it's none of your business!" ”

After saying that, he shouted into the corridor: "Don't hide, come out!" ”

The castle lord Ning Changhe, as well as a few old men, didn't expect such an embarrassing scene, and they all walked out in a huff.

Li Chen looked at Ning Changhe, who was the leader, and asked coldly: "I just made a move, and I didn't want you to repay the favor." Besides, if you want to repay the favor, you can do it yourself. What's the matter with letting this female doll come over? ”

Ning Changhe was a thief with a weak heart, and laughed: "Engong, you misunderstood." I just see that there is a lack of a maid who brings tea and water around you, Lingxiu, this girl is bent on repaying her kindness, and she is also very clever, so she has the courage to let her come. I'm sorry for the annoyance! ”

Li Chen didn't bother to bother with him, so he turned around and walked towards Zhang Lingxiu.

Zhang Lingxiu hung her head shyly, and hit Xiao Jiujiu with both hands, like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was waiting for the teacher to reprimand.

Li Chen patted her little head lightly and said, "You have a spiritual root in your body, and your qualifications are also good, so you are expected to become an alchemist." In this way, I will pass on to you a book of alchemy secrets. How much you can achieve in the end depends on your own understanding! ”

Hearing Li Chen's words, everyone present was stunned.

Zhang Lingxiu was even more stupid on the spot, flashing her big eyes and a stunned face.

Ning Hua was the first to come back to his senses and shouted at Zhang Lingxiu.

"Lingxiu, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and make a disciple salute and thank Master Chen Dan for his great kindness!"

Zhang Lingxiu suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop".

Li Chen casually took out a copy of the most basic alchemy cheats and handed it to Zhang Lingxiu.

"Alright, take it!"

This is something left by the three idiots, Li Chen's attainments in alchemy are still far above him, and he doesn't need these things at all. But if you throw it away, it's really a pity.

Now, seeing that Zhang Lingxiu's girl is quite smart, he plans to help the three idiots find a successor, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness for sacking the other party's cave mansion.

For Li Chen, this is a casual move. But for Zhang Lingxiu, it was a turning point that changed her life.

Zhang Lingxiu took the yellowed book with both hands, and his expression was extremely nervous, as if he was holding a baby who had been passed down for ten lifetimes, for fear of falling it.

This night, Li Chen did not fall asleep, but called Zhang Lingxiu into the room and passed her some basic methods of alchemy, as well as the most commonly used technique of spitting.

Before you know it, the east is already white.

Li Chen glanced out the window and asked casually, "Have you memorized everything I taught you?" ”

Zhang Lingxiu nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking rice: "Well, I remember everything!" ”

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "That's good, go ahead, as long as you persevere, according to your talent, you will eventually succeed!" ”

Zhang Lingxiu nodded ignorantly, and after a moment of hesitation, she dared to ask again: "Master, can I surpass Sister Ning Yu in my future achievements?" ”

Although this girl looks weak, she looks very strong in her heart. Ning Yu is recognized as the proud daughter of the sky in the village, and she is also the existence she looks up to, and it is her goal.

However, Li Chen only smiled meaningfully at her and did not make any answer.

Zhang Lingxiu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and she took it for granted that her goal was too unrealistic, so she lowered her head stupidly.

Many years later, when she thought back to this scene, she understood what Li Chen's smile meant?

Not long after Zhang Lingxiu left, there was a commotion in the courtyard.

This is the villagers loading the carriage with medicinal herbs and monster skins.

They are far away from Ningling County, six or seven hundred miles away. And bandits are rampant on the road, which is very unsafe. Therefore, it will only be sent to the city every two months.

And these medicinal herbs, furs, were all their savings for two months, enough to fit six wagons.

The people in charge of escorting the car were Ning Hua, Ning Yu's brothers and sisters, and thirty-six sturdy guys who were temporarily selected from the village.

After eating a hearty breakfast, Li Chen also went to Ningling County with them.

The villagers all came to see them off, and some elders of Ning Changhe told them to pay attention to safety on the road.

Zhang Lingxiu was also in the crowd, her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.

Li Chen smiled at her, waved his hand, and galloped towards the official road.

"Brother Chen Li, what are you going to do when you go to Ningling County?"

Ning Hua and Li Chen are both of the same age, so they don't call Engong anymore, and directly refer to each other as brothers.

Li Chen replied casually: "Buy some medicinal materials for alchemy!" ”

A sturdy young man named Luo Dan pointed to the two carts of medicinal materials behind him and shouted at Li Chen: "Master Chen, we have two carts of medicinal materials here, do you think there are any that can be used?" ”

Li Chen glanced at it roughly, these were all medicinal materials for refining the Nine Rank Pill, and even the Eighth Grade Medicinal Materials were very few, and they were not eye-catching at all.

"The grade of your medicinal herbs is too low, and I don't want it!"

Hearing Li Chen's blunt answer, Ning Yu was a little unhappy in her heart.

Moreover, from yesterday to today, she was surprised to find that Li Chen had never looked at her directly. But he stayed with Zhang Lingxiu's yellow-haired girl all night, and passed on the other party's alchemy secrets.

For Ning Yu, who is extremely confident in his appearance and has always been arrogant, there is a kind of loss that is ignored. So, she tried her best to arouse Li Chen's idea, and through various ways, she quietly brought out her excellence.

She had already directly expressed her heart in the ancestral hall last night, and she couldn't look down on Li Chen. But now because of Zhang Lingxiu's matter, there is inexplicable jealousy. This seemingly contradictory psychology is actually very understandable.

In China in the 21st century, there is a very appropriate name for a woman of her type: scheming!

"Master Chen, you plan to refine a few grades of pills this time. We also have a lot of Dan masters in Dongling Pavilion, and there is a Qipin Dan Master among them. I have a good relationship with him, I can ask him for some advice! ”

As he spoke, Ning Yu looked at Li Chen with a show-off gaze. I hope to see the look of envy and adoration from the other party's expression.

Before Li Chen could speak, Luo Dan and a group of people were all envious, and their mouths were full of flattery. touted Ning Yu so flutteringly that he was even a little carried away.

However, Li Chen's expression was still unfazed, and he just smiled indifferently.

"No need, the pill I refined, you Dan Master of Dongling Pavilion can't help yet!"

The Yun Ling Pill he planned to refine this time belonged to the Five Rank Pill. This level of Dan Master is probably only available to the Yunhai Sect.

And a human-level sect like Dongling Pavilion, not to mention a five-rank Dan master, it is already very good to have a six-rank Dan master.

In today's world, except for the few old guys in the fairy world who have lived for an unknown number of thousands of years. In terms of alchemy attainments, there is really no one who can guide him Li Chen.
