Chapter 462 Elder Zhang’s Research

Elder Zhang lives at a distance from the alchemy room where Zhang Xiaohua lives, but they are all on the left side of the inner valley. There is a simple bamboo room in front and a elixir room behind.

Looking at his closed door, Elder Zhang smiled and said, "I haven't come back to this house for several months."

Then he looked around and said, "Where are your senior brothers and the others? Are they all at home?"

Master Nie Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention them, even the other elders are like idle clouds and wild cranes, and I don't know where they have flew."

Elder Zhang said: "We have not been elders for many years. Haven't we studied our own things well and done what we like to do?"

Master Nie Gu said solemnly: "Elder Zhang is right. You have made a lot of contributions to Huichun Valley back then. Let's see us now."

Then, he said mysteriously: "You always wait, I will come when I go."

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

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she rolled her eyes a little and said to herself, "Are you talking like this? What can I be if I am not a green onion? Oh, how can I be a green onion!"

Master Nie Gu left quickly with his two subordinates, leaving a few disciples, opened Elder Zhang's door, and helped him clean up.

The bamboo house is very simple, with a bamboo couch, a bamboo chair, and a bamboo desk that is cleaned up soon.

When the disciple left, Elder Zhang entered the room, carefully placed the small package in his hand on the bed, turned to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Young man, sit down."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the only chair in the room and shook her head and said, "Senior, just sit down, juniors, just stand."

Elder Zhang was not polite, and threw his body on the bamboo chair, shaking it left and right, murmured: "I haven't been so leisurely for a long time. It's really pleasant to look at the clouds and listen to the sound of the wind."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that he wanted him to answer the conversation, so he closed his mouth and thought that he had only had one ear.

Elder Zhang waited for a while, but no one answered, so he had to say to himself: "Oh, I'm old too. I just want to do something I like. I don't care about Huichun Valley. Therefore, I don't know that you saved the daughter of the valley and resolved the crisis of Huichun Valley."

Seeing Elder Zhang thanking again, Zhang Xiaohua quickly said: "The old senior is stronger and stronger, and he will definitely be able to use his remaining energy to write a new chapter. The boy just met Miss Nie for a moment. Anyone who is interested will help you in this matter."

"People with heart? Haha" Elder Zhang sighed: "There are fewer people with heart, and there are more people with heart."

Then, he continued to ask, "By the way, young man, what is the name of the booklet with the name of Sunshine Grass?"

Zhang Xiaohua said to herself: "Oh, I knew you would definitely ask. Even if I want to shut up, I don't have a chance."

Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to say: "It's not that I didn't tell the old senior that this booklet was really a long time ago, and it seems that I didn't read it from my master. At that time, I only saw the drawings in it were very wonderful, but I remembered it in my heart, and the rest had been forgotten."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was completely pushed, Elder Zhang was not surprised and said, "This is an opportunity, but unfortunately you were still young at that time and missed it."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"

Elder Zhang thought for a while and said, "The reason for this is a long time. Simply put, this alchemy has been around for a long time. It is afraid it has existed for thousands of years. The research on herbs that are closely related to alchemy has a very long history. But I don't know what the problem is. The current alchemy seems to be different from the previous alchemy. Even this herb is very different. In ancient times, it was said that herbs were growing lushly, and all kinds of rare herbs existed, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. However, these are legends. Most of the herbs have been destroyed and there are no traces left."

"And I don't know why, and the ancient classics have not been passed down. Not to mention alchemy, but even herbs are ordinary. Therefore, although many surviving herbs have lost their original names. Even if someone knows it a little, they have gradually changed from word to word of mouth. Now, it is almost completely different from the ancient times."

"Also, over the past thousands of years, there have been many herbs growing from the vast land. No one knows whether these are ancient varieties or new varieties. Therefore, alchemy techniques, alchemy recipes, etc. have also changed with each other..."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly. Yes, the world has changed for thousands of years, and even boxing techniques will be changed a lot, let alone the partial alchemy techniques, herbs and elixir recipes.

After listening for a while, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help asking, "How could Elder Zhang know about this?"

But as soon as I finished asking, I felt regretful: "Don't Elder Zhang just want me to ask? Moreover, isn't the answer to this question seen in the Huichun Valley classics?"

But Elder Zhang said, "I was also obsessed with martial arts and didn't know any alchemy. Later, when you were a child, you got a booklet left by your predecessors, and talked about a lot of knowledge about elixirs and herbs. This time I became interested in alchemy. Later I went to Chungu and became an elder."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and thought to herself: "It turns out that it is also a home that I left halfway."

"Oh, it's just a pity that this kind of booklet is also the experience of previous generations in studying ancient herbs and alchemy. It's extremely rare. I only got one, and later I read two in Huichun Valley, but I always feel that there are too few things in it. If you miss the opportunity, I can read the fourth one."

Zhang Xiaohua apologized: "It's a pity that my younger generation is too young. I really don't know the value of the booklet, which disappointed me."

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

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Just collect herbs."

Elder Zhang laughed silently and said, "My biggest wish now..."

Halfway through, he took out a book from the small package on the bed, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "You can open it."

Zhang Xiaohua frowned, took the book, and looked through it page by page. However, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and he couldn't help but ask: "Elder Zhang is so proficient in this herb. Moreover, many of these herbs have their habits and medicinal properties, and they even have their own names from ancient times and present."

As I was talking, I turned to a place where I was wearing a thin piece of jade. The book on this page also recorded the red flame grass, and the next one was written: "Ancient name: Sunny Grass".

Zhang Xiaohua took out the jade piece, held it casually with her hands, and said, "It turns out that Elder Zhang has recorded another name of the Red Flame Grass in this book."

Elder Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, this sun grass was also seen in a booklet in Huichun Valley. So when you mentioned the sun grass, I was surprised that this ancient name was not something that anyone could know."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and then turned back. Sure enough, there were many herbs behind them, all with two names, many of which were seen by Zhang Xiaohua in the jade slip. Zhang Xiaohua sighed in her heart and thought to herself: "Yes, although this alchemy technique is highly valued, the basis of the elixir is herbs. Only when the basic work of alchemy such as Elder Zhang is extremely detailed can you refine better elixirs."

There are a lot of things in the booklet, and it is definitely not something you can read now. Zhang Xiaohua just flipped through it a little and closed the booklet. When Elder Zhang saw Zhang Xiaohua reading it, he said, "I'll let you see something again."

After saying that, he lowered his head and went to get the small bag.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the booklet in her hand and was about to insert the thin jade piece in her hand into the book. Her spiritual sense habitually swept the jade piece. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua stood there on the spot.

Elder Zhang did not notice Zhang Xiaohua's behavior, and took out a thinner booklet from the small bag and prepared to hand it to Zhang Xiaohua. However, when Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, he felt funny and shouted: "Young man, young man, don't do this, okay? I just made such a small contribution to alchemy. To promote the development of alchemy, you don't have to admire me so much, I am just an ordinary person!"

Hearing Elder Zhang’s call, Zhang Xiaohua came back to her senses and smiled and said, “Ordinary people do extraordinary things. I am really moved by your spirit. You may be so kind today. Only a few people see this booklet, but history will remember your achievements, time will prove your wisdom, and you will surely..."

"Stop." Elder Zhang finally blushed and said embarrassedly: "I am not that noble, I just do what I like. Oh, by the way, look at these pill recipes."

That being said, his tone was a bit affectionate.

Zhang Xiaohua placed the booklet on the table, and the little jade piece was carefully placed next to it. After taking the thin booklet, the page that was released by Elder Zhang, the three words "Jiangyan Pill" were caught in the eyes, and the ingredients, the method of refining, etc., were the recipes of Jiangyan Pill.

After reading the elixir recipe of Jiangyan Dan, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to look at other elixir recipes, so she returned the booklet to Elder Zhang. Then he moved his heart and returned to the table. He picked up the booklet just now, and found the names of several ingredients he had just seen in the elixir recipe in the booklet. After reading it, he was shocked. The ingredients in the elixir recipe were exactly the same as the Runmai Dan in the jade slip, but most of the names of the ingredients were changed.

If you want to talk about the difference between these two pill recipes, it is the difference in refining techniques.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua understood that this Jiangyan Pill is the Moisturizing Pill, but martial arts cannot use the alchemy technique of immortality to change the refining process!
