Chapter 465

Elder Zhang lived some distance away from Zhang Xiaohua's pill room, but they were both on the left side of the inner valley. In front was a simple bamboo room and behind it was the pill room.

Looking at his tightly shut door, Elder Zhang smiled, "I haven't returned to this room for many months."

He then looked around, "Where are your senior sect brothers?

Are they all home? "

Valley Head Nie smiled wryly, "Don't mention them. Even the other elders are like wild cranes. I don't know where they've flown off to."

Elder Zhang said, "We haven't been elders for many years. Shouldn't we be researching our own things and doing the things we like to do?"

Valley Head Nie said solemnly, "Elder Zhang is right. You've made many contributions to Rejuvenation Valley in the past. Now it's up to us."

He then said mysteriously, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Elder Zhang seemed to know what he was going to do and nodded, "Mm, come back quickly. I want to see if this kid is really a green onion."

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes when she heard this and thought, "Is there anyone who talks like that?

If I'm not a green onion, then what am I?

Pah, how can I be a green onion! "

Valley Head Nie quickly left with his two subordinates. He left behind a few disciples to open Elder Zhang's door and help him tidy up.

The interior of the bamboo room was very simple. There was a bamboo couch, a bamboo chair, and a bamboo desk. It didn't take long for everything to be cleaned up.

After the disciples left, Elder Zhang entered the room and carefully placed the small package in his hand on the couch. He turned his head and said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Young man, sit."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the only chair in the room and shook her head, "Elder should sit. This junior can stand."

Elder Zhang didn't hold back and threw his body onto the bamboo chair. He rocked left and right and murmured, "I haven't been so relaxed in a long time. Days of looking at the clouds and listening to the wind are truly pleasant."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that he wanted her to continue the conversation. Thus, she closed her mouth and pretended that she was only listening.

Elder Zhang waited for a while, but no one responded. He could only mutter to himself, "Ai, I'm old and only want to do the things I like. I mostly ignore the matters of Rejuvenation Valley.

Therefore, I didn't know that you saved the valley head's daughter and resolved Rejuvenation Valley's crisis. "

Seeing that Elder Zhang was about to express his gratitude again, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "Old Senior, you're old, but you're still strong. You'll definitely be able to use your remaining energy to write a new chapter.

I merely ran into Miss Nie for a while. Anyone with a heart would lend a helping hand in this matter. "

"Someone with a heart?

Haha. "Elder Zhang sighed and said," There are few people with such intentions, but there are many others with such intentions. "

Then, he continued to ask, "By the way, young man, you said that you saw a booklet with the name 'Yang Grass'. What's the name?"

Zhang Xiaohua inwardly said, "Ai, I knew you'd ask. Even if I wanted to shut up, I didn't have the chance."

Zhang Xiaohua could only say, "It's not that I don't want to tell Old Senior, but this booklet really is something from a long time ago. Also, it doesn't seem to have been read in my sect. At that time, I only saw that the drawings inside were very interesting and remembered them in my heart. I've already forgotten the rest."

Elder Zhang didn't find it strange that Zhang Xiaohua had completely pushed away the responsibility. He said, "This was a fortuitous opportunity. Unfortunately, you were still young at the time and missed it."

Zhang Xiaohua was startled and said, "What do you mean?"

Elder Zhang thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story. To put it simply, alchemy has a long history. I'm afraid it's at least ten thousand years old. It existed as early as the ancient times, and the study of medicinal herbs closely related to alchemy also has a very long history.

But I don't know what happened, but alchemy now seems to be very different from alchemy in the past. Even medicinal herbs are very different. In the ancient times, it's said that medicinal herbs grew luxuriantly, and all kinds of rare herbs existed. There were some that were hundreds of years old, thousands of years old, and even tens of thousands of years old. However, these are all legends. Most of the medicinal herbs have been annihilated, and not even a trace can be found. "

"Moreover, for some reason, the ancient books have not been passed down. Not to mention alchemy, even the ancient books on medicinal herbs are ordinary. Therefore, although there are many medicinal herbs that have survived, they have lost their original names. Even if there are people who know a little about them, they have slowly changed through word of mouth. Until now, it's almost completely different from the ancient times."

"Also, in these thousands of years, many medicinal herbs have grown from the vast land. No one knows whether these are ancient varieties or new varieties. Therefore, alchemy, elixir recipes, and so on have also changed …"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't interrupt and only listened quietly. Yes, the changes in the world over the past ten thousand years had changed even the fist techniques into a complete mess, not to mention the unorthodox alchemy, medicinal herbs, and elixir recipes.

After listening for a while, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask, "How does Elder Zhang know all these?"

But as soon as she asked, she regretted it in her heart. "Didn't Elder Zhang want me to ask?

Moreover, wasn't the answer to this question found in the Rejuvenation Valley's ancient books? "

Unexpectedly, Elder Zhang said, "Back then, I was also infatuated with martial arts and didn't know anything about alchemy.

Later on, by chance and coincidence, just like when you were young, I obtained a small book left behind by a predecessor. It talked about a lot of knowledge about alchemy and medicinal herbs. Only then did I become interested in alchemy. Later on, I joined this Rejuvenation Valley and became an elder. "

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and thought to herself, "So he also left home halfway."

"Alas, it's a pity that this kind of small book is also the insights of predecessors in studying ancient medicinal herbs and alchemy. It's extremely rare and I only obtained one book. Later on, I also read two books in Rejuvenation Valley, but I always felt that there was too little information inside. If you hadn't missed the opportunity, I would have been able to read the fourth book."

Zhang Xiaohua said apologetically, "It's a pity that this junior was too young and really didn't know the value of that small book. I've disappointed senior."

Elder Zhang shook his head and said, "Do you know what I like to do the most right now?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Gather medicinal herbs."

Elder Zhang laughed involuntarily and said, "My greatest wish right now is …"

Halfway through his words, he took out a book from the small bundle on the bed and handed it to Zhang Xiaohua, saying, "Open it."

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and took the book. She flipped through the pages one by one. However, the more she read, the more shocked she became. She couldn't help but ask, "Elder Zhang is actually so proficient in medicinal herbs. Moreover, many of these medicinal herbs have their characteristics and medicinal properties indicated. Oh, they even have their respective names from ancient times and now."

As she spoke, she flipped to a page and found a thin jade slip. This page also recorded the Scarlet Flame Grass. Beside it was written, "Ancient name: Bright Sun Grass."

Zhang Xiaohua took out the jade slip and casually held it in her hand. She said, "So Elder Zhang has already recorded the other name of the Scarlet Flame Grass in this book."

Elder Zhang smiled and said, "That's right. I also saw this Bright Sun Grass in a small book in Rejuvenation Valley. That's why I was surprised when you mentioned the Bright Sun Grass. This ancient name isn't something that just anyone can know."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and continued to flip through the pages. Sure enough, there were many medicinal herbs at the back, and all of them had two names. Many of them were things that Zhang Xiaohua had seen in the jade slip.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed in her heart. She thought to herself, "That's right. Although alchemy is highly valued, the foundation of alchemy is the medicinal herbs. Only someone like Elder Zhang, who is unknown and has done the basic work of alchemy in detail, can refine better alchemy."

There were many things in the small book, and it definitely wasn't something that could be finished right now. Zhang Xiaohua only flipped through a little before closing the book. Elder Zhang saw that Zhang Xiaohua had finished reading and said, "I'll let you see another thing."

Finished speaking, he lowered his head and went to take out the small bundle.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the small book in her hand. Just as she was about to insert the thin jade slip in her hand into the book, her Divine Sense habitually swept over the jade slip. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned on the spot.

Elder Zhang didn't notice Zhang Xiaohua's behavior. He took out an even thinner book from the small bundle and was about to hand it to Zhang Xiaohua. But when he saw Zhang Xiaohua's stunned expression, he found it funny and called out, "Young man, young man, don't be like this, okay? I'm just making a small contribution to alchemy and slightly promoting the development of alchemy. You don't have to worship me like this, I'm just an ordinary person!"

Hearing Elder Zhang's call, Zhang Xiaohua came back to her senses and said with a smile, "An ordinary person doing extraordinary things. I'm really moved by your spirit. Today, you may be high and few people will see this small book, but history will remember your achievements. Time will prove your wisdom. You will definitely …"

"Stop."

Elder Zhang finally blushed and said embarrassedly, "This old man is not so noble. I only do what I like.

Oh, right, take a look at these pill formulas. "

Although he said that, his tone was a bit affectionate.

Zhang Xiaohua placed the small book on the table and carefully placed the jade slip beside it. She took the thin book and saw the words "Crimson Flame Pill" on the page that Elder Zhang had just opened. Behind it were the ingredients and refining method. It was the pill formula for the Crimson Flame Pill.

After looking at the pill formula for the Crimson Flame Pill, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to look at the other pill formulas and returned the small book to Elder Zhang. His heart moved and he returned to the front of the table. He picked up the book and found the names of the ingredients that he saw in the pill formula. When he finished looking, he couldn't help but be shocked. The ingredients in the Crimson Flame Pill formula were exactly the same as the Meridian Nourishing Pill in the jade slip. It was just that the names of the ingredients were mostly changed.

If there was any difference between these two pill recipes, it would be the difference in refining methods.

Instantly, Zhang Xiaohua understood that the Crimson Flame Pill was a Meridian Soothing Pill. However, the Martial Dao could not use the Immortal Dao's alchemy techniques to alter the refining process!
