    ?

    The yard is spacious, clean and tidy.  The most conspicuous thing is the small medicine field on the side of the yard, in which there are many aged spirit grasses, the leaves are crisp and thick, with dew hanging, which is very eye-catching.

    Apparently, these spiritual herbs belonged to Zhang Huaiyuan, the steward.

    At this moment, Xu Xian had an idea. After returning, he would plant some in Lao Yao's yard.

    Seeing Xu Xian coming in, Jiang Ming whispered to an old man next to him who was watering the spirit grass: "Guan Zhang, this man is also our disciple, and I don't see him on weekdays, but he suddenly came here today.  I'm afraid I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace if I have nothing to do."

    The old man turned his head and glanced at Xu Xian, then continued to water.

    "Is there something wrong?"

    These words were obviously asked by Xu Xian.

    The situation was beyond Xu Xian's expectations. With the addition of Jiang Ming, it would definitely be inconvenient to speak.

    "Guard Zhang, I heard that you like fine wines from the winery. It just so happens that my disciples are familiar with the disciples of the winery, so I thought of a way to exchange for a pot and bring it to you along the way" Xu Xian spoke slowly, looking at each other while talking  Reaction.

    Guanshi Zhang smiled at the moment: "You really have a heart."

    After finishing speaking, he put down a small kettle in his hand and wiped his hands.  Xu Xian also took advantage of the situation and put the altar of spiritual wine on the table.

    After putting it away, without waiting for the other party to speak, Xu Xian said first: "The cold wind is getting stronger these days, and drinking some wine can warm you up. Originally, I wanted to ask the way of cultivating spirit grass by the way, but the disciple suddenly thought of the medicine.  Tian Juanzong was actually forgotten on the mountain, so I have to hurry to get it back, and I can only ask another day."

    Come fast, go fast.

    Watching Xu Xian step back, Guanshi Zhang nodded repeatedly, obviously appreciating it.  If it were someone else, the gift giver would panic when encountering such a thing, and everyone would be embarrassed in the end.

    This Xu Xian is smart, an excuse that can be easily resolved.

    "This Xu Xian is quite interesting!"

    Guanshi Zhang muttered to himself, but it made Jiang Ming uncomfortable.

    The old man walked to the table and sat down, opened the jar of spiritual wine, and the aroma of the wine wafted out immediately.  Guanshi Zhang didn't need a wine glass, he directly took a sip from the jar,

    "Good wine." Steward Zhang is an old drinker. He has drank a lot of spirit wine in the wine shop, and he can taste the quality of this jar. In other words, a disciple from the outer courtyard wants to get such a jar of wine  , definitely took a lot of effort.

    After a while, Guanshi Zhang looked back at Jiang Ming who was still standing in the yard.

    "You go back first. I will consider the recommended quota. Jiang Ming, I am very optimistic about you. After all, I am Xiaohuanshan, and you have the highest understanding."

    Hearing this, Jiang Ming was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Guan Zhang, if you help me with this matter, after you become a disciple of refining medicine, I will give you the elixir from your side"

    Steward Zhang waved his hand: "Don't talk about it so early, after all, even if I recommend it, you will have to compete with the disciples recommended by other stewards. Fortunately, this time, you need three alchemy disciples, so there is a possibility of being selected."  The sex is still very big. Okay, let's go, remember, don't mention this matter to others before it is announced. "

    "This is natural, you can rest assured."

    Xu Xian walked on the road alone.

    When thinking about problems, he always walks very slowly.

    Xu Xian had an intuition that the Jiang Ming he met just now was probably in Zhang Guanshi's yard because of the recommended quota.

    He came a few years earlier. Naturally, the relationship with Zhang Guanshi is better, and his foundation is not stable. It is extremely difficult to compete with him in this situation.

    But Xu Xian won't just give up.

    As long as the recommendation quota is not finalized, then I still have a chance.

    Giving gifts today is just the first step. As for how to take the second step, Xu Xian already has his plan.

    On the second day, Xu Xian borrowed a book from the bookstore, and went directly to Zhang Guanshi.

    Good luck, only Guanshi Zhang is at home today.

    "It's you, come in." After getting acquainted yesterday, Steward Zhang opened the door and was not surprised to see Xu Xian. The other party suddenly came to give gifts, so he must have something to ask for, and it would be abnormal if he didn't come.

    Xu Xian was very thoughtful, saluted first, and then stepped into the yard.

    This time Xu Xian came here under the banner of asking questions, about herbal medicine, Xu Xian has already searched all the books in the bookstore, so it is naturally easy to sum up a few subtle questions.

    Manager Zhang was also willing to give advice, and the two people who were not familiar with each other soon chatted about the issue of spirit grass.??.

    On the first day, Xu Xian asked three questions, and Manager Zhang answered them one by one.

    Xu Xian didn't mention anything else after that, but left immediately.

    On the third day, it was still the same, but there were twice as many questions, and after the questions were finished, the two started communicating in other aspects.

    Before I knew it, it was no longer asking for advice, but communicating with each other.

    And on the fourth day, Xu Xian came again.  This time Xu Xian didn't ask any questions, but discussed with Zhang Guanshi the skills of spiritual grass cultivation.  For the past three days, he has carried the same book with him, just like a student's reading material. He didn't intend to take it out on purpose, but every time, Guanshi Zhang can always see it.

    It will be like this for the next seven or eight days.

    Lao Yao also knew Xu Xian's operation, but he couldn't understand it.

    That night, Lao Yao couldn't hold back his curiosity. He caught Xu Xian and finally asked the doubts in his heart these days.

    "What do you go to Manager Zhang for every day? Have you mentioned to him about the recommended quota?" Lao Yao is very concerned about Xu Xian's affairs.

    "Discussing herbal medicine, as for the recommended quota, I didn't mention a single word!" Xu Xian told the truth.

    Lao Yao was in a hurry.

    "It's a little too late for you to make connections at this time, right? Let me tell you, the news about the alchemy disciples will be announced tomorrow. If you don't ask Manager Zhang now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance by then."

    After finishing speaking, Lao Yao thought about it, and prepared to take Xu Xian out.

    He planned to use his own face to talk to Steward Zhang. After all, he is also on the second floor of Qi Refining, and sooner or later he will be able to find a position as a steward, and the other party will give him some face.

    Xu Xian didn't go.

    Seeing that Lao Yao was a little angry, Xu Xian said: "Old Yao, I know you want to help me, but you can't take the initiative to speak about this matter."

    "Why?" Lao Yao was puzzled.

    If you don't ask for help, people will know what you want to do?

    "Then let me tell you." Xu Xian thought for a while, and Lao Yao was not considered an outsider.  So he took out the book that he had been with him every day for the past few days and placed it on the table.

    "Baicaoshu?" Lao Yao could read, but he didn't understand what Xu Xian was doing with this book.

    "This was written by Zhang Huaiyuan." Xu Xian clicked the question directly.

    Lao Yao was dumbfounded.

    "Zhang Huaiyuan? Is that Manager Zhang?"

    Xu Xian nodded with a smile.

    I saw that Lao Yao picked up the book on the table and flipped through it for a long time, but he didn't see a signature, and there was no author's name at all.

    "How do you know he wrote it?"

    Lao Yao asked if he didn't understand.

    "Handwriting!"

    Xu Xian pointed to the book, and then said: "A book is like a son of man, as long as he is a man, he will not be mean to his son, and will care about his son at any time. I carry this book with me every day, and Zhang Huaiyuan naturally treats me  There is a closeness."

    Lao Yao nodded, but then thought of something: "What if he didn't write it?"

    "There is no chance!" Xu Xian was very sure: "I started by asking questions, and extended to the discussion and communication of herbal medicine without trace. Zhang Huaiyuan is an expert in this field. The deeper he studies, the more he can communicate with me.  Resonate, and think that I have only read his books to achieve this.¡±

    Lao Yao thought about the reason, and couldn't help nodding.

    He knew Xu Xian's savvy, and his comprehension and interpretation of the five qi return to the true formula, at least in his eyes, was unmatched by anyone, but he did not expect that the other party also had such attainments in herbal medicine, that he could compete with Zhang Huaiyuan.  The kind of experts who have been immersed in this way for decades discuss and exchange.

    If you don't have enough deep knowledge in this area, two sentences will be useless.

    Xu Xian continued: "Zhang Huaiyuan is a person who attaches great importance to tradition and rules. He is a scholar and has a great Confucian demeanor in his bones."

    "He is a man of integrity, unsmiling, and doesn't like flattery. Even if he has friendship, if I ask him directly, it will be counterproductive in all likelihood, and haste will not achieve results."

    "How do you know this?" Lao Yao didn't believe it, this kind of thing couldn't be seen without more than ten years of friendship.

    Xu Xian smiled, and pointed to the "Book of Herbal Medicine" again.
