Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 10 Thick-skinned

In the next few days, Chen Yun behaved very diligently.

Whether it was studying the pharmacology of medicinal materials or understanding the structure of the human body, he worked tirelessly to absorb it.

This made Li Si very satisfied and praised Chen Yun repeatedly for his hard work.

This morning.

Li Si was selecting medicinal materials that were about to go bad again.

Today he picked white peony root.

Chen Yun has collected a lot of medicinal materials such as astragalus, angelica, peach kernel and so on in the past few days.

There are only two ingredients left to assemble the medicinal materials needed to make the "Foundation Building Soup": white peony root and yin and yang star grass.

No, as soon as he saw Li Sitiao's white peony root that was about to go bad, he stood aside with twinkling eyes.

Li Si doesn't talk much. Although he is not a boring person, he basically doesn't take the initiative to find topics.

Chen Yun had ulterior motives, so naturally he didn't take the initiative to chat.

At this time, no footsteps were heard, and a shadow at the door blocked the sun's rays.

Then, Wang Laozhi's voice, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came from behind, "Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Chen, are you busy at work?"

"Senior Brother Wang."

"Senior Brother Wang."

Chen Yun and Li Si quickly followed the sound.

Wang Laozhi, dressed in a green Taoist robe, walked to the medicine table with a smile, looked at Chen Yun and asked, "Have you ever gotten used to working in the medicine garden?"

Chen Yun bowed hurriedly and responded: "Reporting to senior brother, Yun is very happy working in the medicine garden."

Li Si put in a good word for him, "Senior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Chen is a hard-working man. He usually does a lot of the dirty work in my medicine garden."

Wang Laozhi knew Li Si's character well and rarely lied to others.

He glanced at Chen Yun appreciatively and said, "That's very good."

Chen Yun said modestly: "This is my duty."

"Yes." Wang Laozhi was very satisfied with Chen Yun's attitude and nodded again.

Immediately, he looked at Li Si and said, "Junior brother Li, prepare twenty Yin-Yang star grasses for me. Master Chongyang has come to ask for medicine again."

Li Si was a very calm person. He didn't ask any questions that he shouldn't have asked. He just responded: "Okay."

Chen Yun naturally understood who the Chongyang Master was.

Not surprisingly, it should be Lu Dongbin’s disciple Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect.

Normally, he would have been very interested when he heard that this famous Taoist in history was coming.

But now Chen Yun only needed white peony root and yin-yang star grass to get together the medicinal materials for making the "Foundation Building Soup". Now when he heard Wang Laozhi asking Li Si to bring out twenty plants, his eyes suddenly became a little straight. I want to see if there is a chance to get a Yin Yang Star Grass that is about to go bad like usual.

It's a pity that this opportunity did not appear.

Li Si naturally took out twenty Yin Yang Star Grass plants from the medicine cabinet. After a brief inspection and there were no problems, he wrapped them and gave them to Wang Laozhi.

Wang Laozhi took the medicinal materials and left.

Alas, there really was no chance.

Chen Yun inevitably felt a little regretful.

Suddenly, Li Si pointed to the pile of white peony seeds picked out next to them that were about to go bad, "Junior Brother Chen, please help throw away these white peony roots."

Chen Yun came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Okay, Senior Brother Li."

He stepped forward, rolled up the pile of white peony roots, then turned back and went out, pretending to throw it away as before, but actually hid it in the copper furnace.

Although he couldn't get the Yin Yang Star Grass, at least he had the white peony root, which comforted Chen Yun.

only……

Yin Yang Star Grass seems to be relatively precious. When can I get it?
Chen Yun thought that he would have to wait for a long time before he could hope to get the main ingredient needed for this "Foundation Building Soup".

However, in the next few days, he observed that Li Si was very careful in taking care of the Yin Yang Star Grass, and it seemed that it was a bit unrealistic to obtain it like astragalus and white peony root.

Is there really no chance of getting this medicine?
……

A few days later, it’s New Year’s Day.

Well, it’s actually the Spring Festival.

New Year's Day begins as Yuan, and dawn is Dan.

New Year's Day originally means the first day of the year, that is, the beginning of the year.

On this day, Wang Laozhi gave almost everyone in the Taoist temple a day off.

Why do you say almost everyone?

Because there is no holiday in the medicine garden.

After all, medicinal materials need people to take care of them, otherwise problems may easily occur.

Chen Yun didn't feel unhappy about this.

Li Si had a relatively dull personality, so he naturally didn't show any displeasure.

Just finished watering the garden.

The two were sitting in the pharmacy chatting.

Suddenly, Wang Laozhi and a strange middle-aged man walked in from outside.Chen Yun and Li Si quickly stood up to say hello.

Chen Yunzuo bowed and said, "Senior Brother Wang."

After saying hello, he looked at another middle-aged Taoist with confusion because he had never seen him before.

Li Si was also bowing and saluting, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zheng."

Wang Laozhi hummed, "I need you two to work on New Year's Day. Thank you for your hard work. Senior Brother Zheng and I came here to see you."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and took the initiative to introduce Chen Yun: "Junior brother Chen, this is my senior brother Zheng Wenshu. You can just call him senior brother Zheng."

Chen Yun bowed again and said, "I've met Senior Brother Zheng."

Uncle Zheng Wen had a very cheerful personality and said with a smile: "I think this is Junior Brother Chen Yunchen who has just joined our Taoist Temple."

He had obviously heard of Chen Yun a long time ago.

There were only a dozen people in the Taoist temple.

It is not surprising that one more person is known to Uncle Zheng Wen.

Chen Yun said: "Yes, Senior Brother Zheng, I am Chen Yun."

Uncle Zheng Wen was a very kind person and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that you are a hard worker and smart person. Junior Brother Wang likes you very much. I am meeting you for the first time today. Senior Brother has nothing special, so I will take this talisman as a meeting gift."

After saying this, he took out a folded yellow paper talisman from his sleeve.

Chen Yun was quite surprised. He didn't expect Uncle Zheng Wen to be so generous.

But he wasn't very familiar with the other party, and didn't know whether he should accept it.

Fortunately, Wang Laozhi said at this time: "Senior brother, just take it if it is given to you."

Chen Yun then thanked him and carefully put away the talisman.

Uncle Zheng Wen took the initiative to introduce: "This is a meditation talisman. It can keep your mind clear on weekdays. It doesn't have much effect. You're welcome."

Wang Laozhi took over the words with a smile, "Don't take what Senior Brother Zheng said casually. In fact, this talisman is mysterious. It can not only keep you clear-headed, but also prevent you from being affected by ordinary ghosts and monsters. Of course, if you are particularly powerful, The ghosts are useless."

what?
Are there still ghosts in this world?
Chen Yun thought about it carefully, there are immortals, so why should there be ghosts?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but feel curious, what did the ghost look like?
Chen Yun really wanted to see it.

Thinking about it, he thanked him again: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng, for the reward."

"It's okay." Uncle Zheng Wen waved his hand, and then said to Chen Yun and Li Si: "Today is New Year's Day, the other disciples have stopped working and have a rest, but you two have to guard the medicine garden, which is very hard. In this way, Wang and I Junior brother discussed it and decided to grant each of you a wish that is not excessive, tell me what you want."

Grant one wish for each of us?
Chen Yun's mind suddenly became more active.

Then can I ask Uncle Zheng Wen and Wang Laozhi for a Yin Yang Star Grass?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Si had already spoken, "Brother, I have nothing else to ask for."

Uncle Zheng Wen laughed dumbly and said, "You are quite clever, are you afraid of making me unhappy by making demands?"

Li Si smiled honestly.

Uncle Zheng Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Although you don't want it, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since I promised to compensate you two, it is really unreasonable not to give you something. Otherwise, I will wrap you a red wedding bag, how about that?" "

Li Si burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng."

Uncle Zheng Wen took out another red money bag from his sleeve and handed it over.

It seemed like he came prepared.

It is true that Uncle Zheng Wen and Wang Laozhi knew that the disciples did not dare to make real demands, so they prepared red wedding bags early. Whenever they encountered such a situation, they would directly give some lucky money, usually three taels of silver.

After giving Li Sihong the wedding bag, Uncle Zheng Wen looked at Chen Yundun again and said, "Junior Brother Chen, what about you?"

He originally thought that Chen Yun would not dare to make real demands like Li Si.

Wang Laozhi and Li Si also thought so.

But who knew that Chen Yun said in surprise: "Senior Brother Zheng, can I have a Yin Yang Star Grass?"

Li Si: "..."

Wang Laozhi: "..."

Uncle Zheng Wen: "..."

None of the three people expected that Chen Yun was so thick-skinned that he would actually dare to make demands, especially a Yin-Yang Star Grass with a spiritual root of heaven and earth.

Chen Yun was in trouble and couldn't tell.

He has observed the situation these days. Yin-Yang Star Grass is relatively difficult to cultivate. Li Si usually pays close attention to it, and there is no possibility that it will deteriorate.

In other words, Chen Yun could not obtain the Yin Yang Star Grass by collecting other medicinal materials.

But he couldn't wait to make the "Foundation Building Soup" as soon as possible to help him build the foundation as soon as possible.

Now that Uncle Zheng Wen said this, of course Chen Yun had to give it a try.

Wang Laozhi almost laughed angrily at him.

Li Si was also panicking, fearing that Chen Yun would be blamed.

On the contrary, Uncle Zheng Wen, after being silent for a while, looked at Chen Yun deeply and asked: "You usually work in the medicine garden. If you have evil intentions, you can steal one or two Yin Yang Star Grass at any time without being discovered, so why do you take the initiative?" What about asking for it from me?"

Chen Yun said truthfully: "Yun Nai is an honest person and will definitely not be able to commit such a thing."

Uncle Zheng Wen asked again: "What do you want the Yin Yang Star Grass for?"

Chen Yun did not tell the truth this time, "A while ago, I saw that Master Xiangu and Master Chongyang came to ask for this medicinal material. I thought it was some kind of treasure, so I wanted to study it, so I spoke to my senior brother."

Uncle Zheng Wen smiled and said: "Yin Yang Star Grass is indeed a treasure to mortals, but it is not a particularly rare thing for our Ning Yang Cave Taoist Temple. Since you want it, then take one."

what?
So easy to get?
Chen Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng."

Got it all together!
Finally got together the medicinal ingredients to make the "Foundation Building Soup"!
