Chapter 464
Chapter 464
It turned out that the old man had spoken harshly for a long time but didn't try to capture him. Instead, he made him explain again and again. However, it was all a delaying tactic, waiting for Valley Head Nie and the others to come over and confront him or surround him.
Zhang Xiaohua still somewhat underestimated the intelligence of these jianghu veterans.
Sure enough, after a long while, the old man slapped Big White's head again. The big white wolf then gave a low howl. Valley Head Nie and the others received the message and also gave a long howl in response, directly pouncing towards Zhang Xiaohua's side.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's calm and composed appearance, presumably the explanation just now was true. The old man gradually put down his little hoe. Only the big white wolf that had suffered a loss before still stared at Zhang Xiaohua without letting go.
Valley Head Nie brought a few people to the scene and saw Zhang Xiaohua and the old man standing there from afar. He already knew that there was a misunderstanding and before he even arrived, he shouted loudly, "Elder Zhang, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, please don't fight."
Elder Zhang turned around and scolded jokingly, "When did you see me fight?
It's your good son-in-law who beat up Big White. I still have to get justice for Big White! "
Valley Head Nie ran in front and bowed towards Elder Zhang, "Elder, long time no see, how are you?"
Elder Zhang waved the little hoe in his hand and said, "No official position, my body is light. Right now, I'm 'picking herbs under the eastern fence, leisurely looking at the southern mountain'. Very good, very good."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the old man pretending to be cultured. It was quite similar to how she fiddled with words in front of Little Orange that day and almost laughed out loud.
Valley Head Nie's eyes were also full of smiles and he repeatedly congratulated, "That's good, that's good."
Then he turned around and asked in surprise, "Virtuous Nephew Ren, I heard from Little Yu that you were refining pills in the pill room in the afternoon. Why did you run here?
Hehe, this is a rather secretive place in Rejuvenation Valley and it's quite dangerous. It's also my fault that I didn't tell you properly yesterday. "
These words sounded like concern, but they were actually blaming Zhang Xiaohua for coming in without telling her.
Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and said with a smile, "How can I blame Uncle Nie? Wasn't it because Little Nephew was refining pills in the pill room for a while and was bored, so I came out for a walk. I saw that the medicinal herbs here were very rare, so I came all the way here.
If it's not convenient for Uncle Nie, I won't be coming in the future. "
How could Valley Master Nie not understand the meaning behind Ren Baqian's words? He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Since Nephew Ren has seen enough of Rejuvenation Valley's pill recipes, what else is there to keep secret here? If Nephew Ren likes it, feel free to come. My Rejuvenation Valley can't see all the medicinal herbs here and many of them are unknown. If Nephew Ren recognizes them and wants to pick them, feel free to do so."
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed when she heard this and cupped her hands in thanks to Valley Master Nie.
Elder Zhang, who was at the side, couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Marshal Nie, although you're the Valley Master of Rejuvenation Valley, I'm also your elder. I was the one who introduced the wife you married when you were young. How important is our Rejuvenation Valley's pill recipes? Why didn't you discuss it with the other elders before showing it to others?
Even if he's your son-in-law, I heard him say that he hasn't married into your family yet. How can you be so casual? "
Zhang Xiaohua held her stomach and laughed secretly.
Valley Master Nie's face was full of black lines and he could only smile apologetically and say, "All the elders are enjoying their old age in the inner valley. I don't dare to disturb them for such a small matter. Elder Zhang, haven't you not seen me for almost half a year?
I went to find you for something before the new year, but I didn't see you several times. If it wasn't for Big White's warning today, I wouldn't have known that you were here. "
Then, he pulled Elder Zhang to one side and told him the whole story in detail.
Elder Zhang listened while glancing at Zhang Xiaohua. His gaze was very interesting. At first, it was disdain, then praise, then amazement, and finally surprise, admiration, pity, and so on. Zhang Xiaohua was filled with displeasure from being looked at like that.
After Valley Master Nie finished speaking, Elder Zhang walked in front of Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Ren Shaoxia, I was a little rude just now and shot a dart at you. I really can't justify it."
Saying that, he cupped his hands and was about to apologise. Zhang Xiaohua saw that he was Valley Master Nie's elder, so how would she dare to let him apologise? She hurriedly held onto his arm and apologised, "Elder Zhang is wrong. It was my fault first. First, I wanted to pick your Scarlet Flame Grass, then I hurt your Big White Wolf. It was my fault."
Elder Zhang was an elder and he didn't really want to apologise. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua holding onto his arm to give him a way out, he used a little strength and was about to get up. But when he used his strength, Zhang Xiaohua's hand was like a huge rock that couldn't be moved. Thinking about how Valley Master Nie said that Zhang Xiaohua was the winner of the arena battle, he couldn't help but have the desire to win.
Using strength in his arms, he was about to bow down.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, she was angry. How could this old man be like this?
Just now, you didn't ask about the situation and wanted to attack. Now that I'm stopping you, you're still supporting me. Tell me, should I stop you or not?
If I don't stop you, you want the elder to apologise to you. How can you be a junior?
Also, Elder Zhang's arms were already using strength. If she withdrew her strength, perhaps the old man's mouth would be stuck in the mud.
If she stopped him, wouldn't this be a competition?
It would also show that she was impudent in fighting with an elder. Just now, she didn't know, but now that she was fighting, it wasn't right.
Without any other choice, Zhang Xiaohua could only use strength in her hands to support Elder Zhang firmly. At least this way, she could save a few teeth in Elder Zhang's mouth.
When Valley Master Nie saw this, he hurriedly called out, "Elder Zhang, don't lower yourself to the same level as the younger generation. I know that you don't have a suitable person to spar with in the valley. If you have this idea, wait until you return to the outer valley and spar in the arena.
Why do you need to compete in the wilderness? "
When Elder Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's good."
He immediately retracted his arms.
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "Not good, not good."
Seeing the two separate, Valley Master Nie then looked at the Scarlet Flame Grass not far away and said, "Has Elder Zhang always been here looking after this Scarlet Flame Grass?
I said that I couldn't find you. "
Elder Zhang pointed at the big white wolf and said, "Actually, most of the time, it's Big White who looks after it. I'm just looking for herbs in the surroundings to move my hands and feet."
Valley Master Nie walked forward and carefully looked at the Scarlet Flame Grass. He nodded and said, "This Scarlet Flame Grass seems to be a hundred years old. It's enough to be of great use. It's just that Crimson Pearl Grass, Bitter Bamboo Grass, Qu Dinggen and other supplementary materials are hard to find. Otherwise … Ai, there's nothing else. Even if we have these herbs, our Rejuvenation Valley has no way of refining the Crimson Flame Pill."
As he said this, his eyes lightly glanced at Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. Valley Master Nie's words were strange. In the jade slip, there was a medicinal pill called the Meridian Soothing Pill. It was made with Bright Yang Grass and Crimson Pearl Grass as the main ingredients and other supplementary materials. It was used to nourish the meridians and recuperate the meridians. The main use of the Bright Yang Grass was to make the Bright Yang Pill. It could refine the qi in the meridians and improve one's cultivation.
Elder Zhang waved his hand and said, "I haven't done anything these past few years. I've just been collecting herbs in the valley. The ingredients for the Crimson Flame Pill are all ready. It's just that I haven't had the confidence to refine it. If it wasn't for this kid finding this Scarlet Flame Grass today …"
Speaking to this point, he suddenly stopped. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a bit of excitement and asked, "Ren Shaoxia, I remember that when you heard me mention the name of this Scarlet Flame Grass, you didn't agree. You pointed at it and asked me, 'You call it Scarlet Flame Grass?'
Is that right? "
At this point, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't deny it. He could only brace himself and say, "Yes, I did say so."
"Then, what do you think it should be called?" Elder Zhang looked at him with bright eyes.
Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head and said, "Old Senior, this is a tattered little book that I saw a long time ago. There were pictures of herbs that looked like this Scarlet Flame Grass. Since you say it's Scarlet Flame Grass, then it's Scarlet Flame Grass. I think I must have seen wrongly."
"Don't, kid. Think carefully. It doesn't matter if you're wrong."
Elder Zhang's face was kind, but Zhang Xiaohua looked a bit like Da Bai's grandmother. He could only pretend to be thinking. After a while, he hesitated and said, "It seems to be … Morning Sun Grass, Bright Yang Grass, or Sunset Grass. I can't remember."
Elder Zhang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's Bright Yang Grass.
That's right, kid, just now Nie Shuai said that you know how to refine pills. And you also know that the ancient name of this Scarlet Flame Grass is Bright Yang Grass. Logically speaking, your Beidou school should also be an ancient alchemy sect. How come I've never heard of it? "
Zhang Xiaohua laughed secretly. It would be strange if you knew.
But he said, "I'm not too sure. Our Beidou school doesn't get involved in Jianghu matters. The elders in the sect also don't come out."
"Oh, so it's like that." Elder Zhang was obviously very disappointed.
Seeing the two chattering non-stop, Valley Master Nie said, "Elder Zhang, it's not easy to meet you. I see that you still have a lot of things to ask nephew Ren. Why don't you come back to the outer valley with us?
You can also see the changes in the valley and the pills that nephew Ren helped us refine? "
"Yes, Valley Master Nie's words are very reasonable."
Elder Zhang nodded and said, "I also want to see the ancient alchemy techniques and what kind of pills can be refined."
Then, he said, "You guys wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
After he finished speaking, he used his qinggong and left. Not long after, he came back with a small bag. Then, he patted the big white wolf's head. The white wolf licked Elder Zhang's hand with its tongue and lazily walked to the side of the Flaming Red Grass and lay down on the ground.
Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Elder Zhang, since this Flaming Red Grass is already a hundred years old and can be used as medicine, why don't you just pick it directly?"
Elder Zhang said very meaningfully, "Now is not the time. If you don't have the confidence to refine pills, then let it grow for a thousand years."
"A thousand years?"
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but twitch her mouth and secretly said, "How is that possible? If it's in the wilderness, it's possible, but in this Rejuvenation Valley?
Although it's in the inner valley and people rarely come here, there will still be people who will see it. Since it's seen, how can it be preserved for a long time?
What's more, how old is your grandfather?
When you're gone, hehe, then let me pick it. It's inhumane to let this Flaming Red Grass be lonely in the wind for no reason! "
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, "If I don't have the confidence to refine pills?
But what if I have the confidence to refine pills? "
Zhang Xiaohua also glanced at Elder Zhang. Her eyes were also very meaningful!
