If you want to say why Shen Budu is so sensitive to the surname "Xie", it must be attributed to his apprentice.

Everyone knows that although Tianya Canghaimen has countless disciples, the head of the sect, Shen Budu, has only three personal disciples.

The No. 1 apprentice in the world must not be a mediocre person, in fact, it is exactly the same-Lu Danxu, Shen Budu's third apprentice, is only seventeen years old, but he has perfectly inherited his master's sound killing technique. The bamboo flute playing is so superb that it can kill people hundreds of miles away invisible, and is honored by Yinxiu as the "young master";

The second apprentice Fang Shaojun, whose signature weapon is a lightning bow on his back, is well-known in the cultivation world as a chivalrous man, who will stand up for injustice, and has a very high reputation;

And the most famous one is Shen Budu's big apprentice, Xie Jianhuan.

Leaving aside Xie Jianhuan's various brilliant achievements, let's just talk about one thing - the ranking of the combat power list.

The combat power list is an artifact forged by the owner of the Feifeng Pavilion, which caused a huge sensation in the entire cultivation world.This combat power list contains the names of the top [-] masters in the world, and it will automatically change the ranking in real time according to their cultivation base changes and record, which is very accurate and reliable.The combat power list is further divided into two parts. The top [-] top masters in the world are divided into the "Heaven Ranking", and the last [-] masters are divided into the "Earth Ranking". The "No. [-] Master in the Tianbang" who is admired and envied by everyone.

One of the reasons why Shen Budu is so famous is that he is not only good at himself, but also the people around him. Take his three apprentices as an example, although they are all young people in their 20s, they are all on the list Among the top [-]!

Lu Danxu ranked 89th on the local list, Fang Shaojun ranked 76th on the local list, and Xie Jianhuan——

He is on the [-]th list.

what is this concept?

You know, the top [-] seems to have a lot of people, but there are millions of monks in the world, and the top [-] are undoubtedly the people who stand at the top of the pyramid. Just picking out a name can make the cultivation world tremble. , is the object of envy and respect of the monks, and the goal they are determined to pursue;

In addition, although hard work can make up for one's weakness, talent has always been valued more in the journey of cultivation.I don't know how many people have worked hard for a hundred years and still can't squeeze into the tail of the combat power list, and most of the masters on the combat power list are masters around the age of 60, relatively few are five or sixty years old, and the 30-year-old is relatively rare. Those under the age of [-] are completely rare.

But Shen Budu's three apprentices—strictly speaking, including himself—all rushed to the combat power list in their twenties, and the entire cultivation world couldn't help but shouted "abnormal", especially Xie Jianhuan, At the age of 21, he was actually in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, which overturned the imagination and cognition of countless people, and they asked in disorder whether there was something wrong with the Battle Ranking.

But after being appraised by Feifeng Pavilion, he firmly gave the answer that everything in the battle list is normal, and everyone couldn't help but admit that Xie Jianhuan, like his master, is a genius who is rare in the world for a century or even a thousand years .

Although it is said that masters should be treated equally, but Shen Budu is somewhat partial to his big apprentice.This has nothing to do with the strength of his cultivation, but Xie Jianhuan's experience and personality, which made him unable to help but pay more attention to and favor the other party.

The outside world always likes to make up gossip about big figures. Many people say that thanks to Xie Jianhuan's talent and potential, he surpasses his master to reach the top of the list. In my generation, the wolf-like and ambitious disciples, one day I am afraid that they will make troubles, deceive teachers and destroy ancestors.

Regarding all kinds of nonsensical rumors, Shen Budu has always held an attitude of listening to jokes, and even thought of using them to tease his big apprentice: "Did you hear that, they said that you are going to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors. You also have to fight, hurry up!" Rush into the top three of the Tianbang, so that you can have a good fight with me."

Every time he said this, his sullen apprentice was not angry, but just silently stretched out his hand to take his arm, put down the sleeves that he had rolled up at will, and then lowered his head to straighten them carefully.

I don't dare to say anything else, but Shen Budu has absolute confidence in the apprentice who he brought up with one hand - even if the sky falls and the sea dries up, and the demons come back one day and level the cultivation world, Xie Jianhuan will never be right What kind of rebellious heart was born by myself.

It's a pity that it was this self-confidence that made him unable to avoid Xie Jianhuan's stabbing sword in the face on the night of the New Year's Eve.

The sword passed under the left rib, and pierced his heart hard by only a few centimeters, so that even if he had to live again and change his body, when he heard the word "thank you" unexpectedly, his heart would still be startled , as if being strangled by layers of vines with poisonous thorns, there was an unspeakable boundless pain.

With the Frost Falling Grass provided by Xie Yun, the herbal medicine was finally collected, and Shen Budu started to make the marrow washing pill.Song Yifan also attached great importance to this matter. He was worried that something would go wrong when Shen Budu made his own alchemy, but he never thought that the other party was very familiar with the steps of alchemy and could operate it with ease, so he was a bit like an expert.

"You actually know how to make alchemy?"

"A little bit." Shen Budu mixed the powdered herbs in precise proportions and poured them into the medicine furnace.

He has a wide range of interests and likes to think about things. In his previous life, he was also a good at refining weapons in addition to his martial arts career.In contrast, alchemy has not reached the level of perfection, but it can be operated proficiently.

Song Yifan was surprised but couldn't help but feel angry: "Alchemy is a popular industry, and good alchemists are even being worshiped. Even if you can't practice, the Shen family can definitely train you to be an alchemist. Why? To humiliate you like this!"

Shen Budu laughed it off, but Song Yifan realized that he had accidentally poked someone's sore spot, shut his mouth quickly, and brought a burning stone over.

The reason why alchemists are popular is that not everyone can do it. In addition to medical pharmacology, it also requires extreme patience, concentration and care.The so-called mistake is a thousand miles away, even if the composition and ratio of the formula are wrong, the life-saving medicine may become a murderous poison, leading to irreparable consequences.

In addition, the heat of alchemy is the most difficult item to master.

Except for a very small number of monks with natal flames, the vast majority of alchemists need to rely on "burning stones" that can light up a furnace to make alchemy.The energy contained in the burning stone is extremely high, and a stone the size of a fist is enough to burn the entire mountain. Therefore, a special knife is used to scrape the stone powder from the surface of the burning stone to ignite it.And because different elixirs require different degrees of heat, the amount of stone powder also varies with elixirs.

For example, Xisui Dan needs to be refined with warm fire for a full twelve hours, the fire cannot be stopped during the process, and the temperature of the fire cannot be changed in the slightest.This requires the alchemist to add new ones immediately when the stone powder is almost burned out, and there must be no slack in the slightest.

"One person definitely can't do it," Song Yifan said, "Let's take turns."

It is very hard for two people to take turns to stare at the alchemy furnace for twelve hours.Although Li Xingyu's children clamored for help, they were all driven back by Song Yifan—the children had never done this before, and their minds were unstable, and if they made a mistake, the whole pot of medicine would be ruined.

Shen Budu didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Brother Song."

He really couldn't hold on to his current body without sleep for twelve hours, so he could only ask Song Yifan for help.Song Yifan said with a smile: "You've already called me brother, what else is there to trouble?"

As he said, he scraped a thin layer of stone powder into it and lit the alchemy furnace.

The two started refining at noon, and they alternated several times in the middle, until night fell and the moon hung high.Shen Budu saw that Song Yifan looked a little sleepy, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep for a while, and replace me at dawn."

Song Yifan hesitated: "You should go first..."

"I am not sleepy."

Song Yifan saw that Shen Budu was indeed more energetic than himself, and knew that it was easy to make mistakes when he was sleepy, so he stopped talking and went back to the back room to catch up on sleep.

In early summer, when the sun comes out at noon, it is extremely hot, but when the wind blows in the middle of the night, it is a bit cooler.This sick body was too thin, and it couldn't stand the cold, and it immediately sneezed several times when it was blown by the wind.

Shen Budu sighed in his heart, raised his hand and tightened his slightly open collar.

With a soft "creak", Shen Budu looked up, and saw a boy in black gently pushing the door and entering.

It's Xie Yun.

After changing out of the dirty clothes and tidying himself up, the young man's facial features turned out to be very handsome, but his complexion was a little pale, and he looked as if he hadn't recovered from a serious illness, which probably had something to do with his previous beatings and poor health .But he has a good personality, he doesn't talk much but is very diligent. Xu is grateful to the Zhenshanzong who took him in. He has been doing various chores silently since he started, and he was stopped many times by Song Yifan and others, but it didn't work. .

Shen Budu didn't expect to meet him at such a late hour: "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Xie Yun: "Not sleepy."

He said, went to close the open window, went to the back room to get a thin blanket, and handed it to Shen Budu.

Shen Budu didn't expect the child to be so careful, he smiled and thanked him.

Xie Yun watched him put the blanket on his body, and sat down beside him at a distance, pointed to the burning stone in his hand and asked softly, "Can I help?"

"Thanks." Shen Budu said with a smile, "But this is not easy to operate, so let me do it."

Xie Yun didn't speak, and looked at him quietly with dark eyes, as if he meant to keep staring at him like this if he disagreed.

Shen Budu: "..."

He has always been unable to do anything with children, so he had to show Xie Yun a demonstration, and then handed over the burning stone and the knife.The young man took it with both hands, and scraped off a layer of stone powder with a knife as Shen Budu did just now.He didn't control it well the first time, so he tried a few more times, his hands became more stable each time, and soon reached the point of perfect accuracy.

Shen Budu didn't expect this child to be really talented, so he praised with a smile: "He has a very high level of comprehension."

Xie Yun didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or what, but he didn't make a sound, but lowered his eyes slightly, and sat upright in front of the alchemy stove, holding the burning stone in his hand, staring at the fire with all his attention.The side face of the young man was slightly warmed by the flames, and his expression was a kind of serenity and peace beyond his peers, as if he could sit motionless for a long time like this, until the sea dries up.

Inexplicably, looking at his appearance, a figure suddenly reappeared uncontrollably in Shen Budu's mind——

Xie Jianhuan, his good apprentice who bullied his master and destroyed his ancestors.

The author has something to say:

It's not true to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors

The following offense is true
