紫云丹药房，后院中的工作，有条不絮地进行着，一切都是那么平常，一切都是那么平淡无奇。

    大大的药缸，晒药的竹筐，还在忙碌的下人们。

    “想学炼丹么？”小孩儿骑在傅小蛙身上解气地嚷嚷着。

    “想……”

    “那再爬两圈！”

    而在这个时候，下人们可以见到，一个大孩童驼着一个小孩子在内院爬来爬去。

    傅小蛙终于得到一本炼丹秘籍，据说这是丹坊的内部经卷，是初级炼丹师的必备手册。不过这手册不是普通人随便可以得到，这炼丹师就算入门，也有非常严格的考究，而传授炼丹方法，也是管制内的东西。

    他是没想到，这三级炼丹大师，竟然是一个小屁孩儿。这炼丹之术，讲究灵根，讲究天份，有大慧根，大天份者，在炼丹之道上，无论年纪大小，都有非同小可的成就。

    得瑟完之后，那所谓的康辰逸师傅背着手，老神在在地带着新徒弟傅小蛙在炼丹坊里转达。

    只见这丹坊中的味道各种怪异，有呛鼻的，有清香的，有莫名其妙的。那丹房最醒目的，还是那一只只巨大的铜炉，这些铜炉正燃烧着，在炼制着丹药，火焰在里面都显青色。

    各种炬丹的东西，放满丹房之中，什么硫磺，朱砂，之类的东西数以千计，而炼丹就是要把这数以千计的东西，通过有效的组合。而制成最终的丹药。

    康辰逸边走着边用嫩稚的声音教导道：“想学炼丹，就先要记下这几千种东西的名字，属性，能够倒背如流！”

    “这么多，怎么记得完！”傅小蛙望着这些东西眼都花了，别记忆。

    “哼，我三岁就能全部背完，这些个算什么，下面要背的还有丹药合成配比，比这难上十倍。别以为炼丹是那么简单的事！”

    “如果，我要，我要学炼丹，需要一些什么东西？”现在的傅小蛙恭恭敬敬地在屁股后边，陪笑着道。

    “炼丹，自然是需要丹炉，需要原材料，需要材料配比，有这几个。你慢慢回去琢磨吧！”

    “这个原材料我可以找，配比这炼丹秘籍上也有。这个丹炉……”傅小蛙搓搓手。

    康辰逸瞟了一眼傅小蛙，知道这家伙在打什么主意。他便拍拍那个几百斤重的小铜炉道：“这个小丹炉送你吧，你可以回家没事炼炼跌打药丸什么的，有小成之后你自己再去买个千斤的，最后可以买万斤级！”

    几百斤重的还叫小丹炉，傅小蛙咬着牙抱起来，如果不是他习有武，怕是挪都挪不动。

    傅小蛙抹了一把汗，然后抖开百宝囊。嗖地一下给收进去，这一下百宝囊差点都满了。

    “看不出来，你这乡巴佬，新潮玩意挺多的嘛！”

    “啊哈哈哈，有这个丹炉，我回去之后一定好好学习，相信我一定会是好丹师！”

    “做梦呢你。就你那慧根，要成为初级的都还远得很！”康辰逸背着手，转过头，继续阔步向前。

    说这傅小蛙今天一行。收获不小，得一炼丹秘籍，还得一丹炉。抱着这秘籍，傅小蛙回到客栈，啃上半天，也没弄得明白。看来他也非丹有大慧根者，大饭量估计是有。

    办完事的绅正明也回到客栈，见傅小蛙在屋子中捣鼓着些乱七八糟的东西，围着一个铜炉瞎搞乱搞。

    “你这是干啥呢？”绅正明奇怪道。

    “我炼丹呢！”傅小蛙一脸漆黑的露出两排白色的牙齿。

    “炼丹？哪有这么简单的事，没个几年功夫，哪整得出些样儿，我还你还是算了！”绅正明摇摇头道。

    “不怕，只要有心，一定就可以学成，我就有这衡心！”

    “算了，说正事吧，今天我给你把那道儿顺了顺，约好是明天，到漠北商会，记得准备好一件贵重点的礼物，这世道，怕是没东西，行不能道儿！”

    “噢，这个我知道的，正明你帮看着办吧，银两叫我那些手下给就行！”傅小蛙发现，他对这炼丹还是很有兴趣，而且挺好玩的，继续舞弄他的丹炉。

    绅正明摇摇头，唉地一声，只身出来，看来只要他自己操办礼物。

    漠北商会，不止是淮安城最大的商会，也是大息王朝北方最大的商会，这个商会，基本上统管各种生意，涉及各个行业。

    而这商会，便在淮安城西边的一个巨大建筑之中，这是一幢茶楼样的建筑，只不过要比一般茶楼大上数十倍。
