Chapter 19 Zhuyan Pill
(Thanks to Huajing friend for the reward! Today's first update is delivered!)
The old man then told the whole story of the matter.
It turned out that the girl had recently obtained an ancient pill recipe called Zhuyan Pills, and she felt like she was trying to refine the Zhuyan Pills. Because after taking this pill, the face of the monk could be fixed at the moment of taking the pills.
Women all want to always be young and beautiful. This girl has a beautiful appearance and cares very much about her appearance. Of course, she also wants to stay young forever. Although she is also good at maintaining her beauty, she will naturally not let go of such a chance to get through once and for all.
However, the success rate of refining Zhuyan Pills is extremely low. Although this girl has a wide range of popularity and knows several alchemists, no one is sure to successfully refining them.
The girl found two alchemists with relatively high alchemist skills to refine it. They spent more than five parts of materials, but they all failed. The two alchemists told her that with their alchemist skills, it is probably necessary to successfully refine it for more than twenty parts of materials.
Although the Zhuyan Pill is not of high grade and is about the same level as Yangqi Pill, the materials required are extremely rare. With the girl's fortune, she can afford more than twenty pieces of ingredients, but it feels quite worthless. Therefore, she was also very angry. But at this moment, the appraiser in the store (that is, the old man) reported to her in surprise that a customer had used Yuhuang Pills to defeat them.
Although Yuhuang Pills are very low-level elixirs, according to the old man's eyes, he could see that the quality of these Yuhuang Pills is quite high, much purer than the Yuhuang Pills sold on the market. This shows that the alchemist who refines these Yuhuang Pills is extremely high. If this alchemist can be invited to take action, it is possible that Zhuyan Pills can be refined only for a few portions of the materials.
After hearing this, the girl was naturally overjoyed, so she immediately asked the shop assistant to invite Jiang Chen.
"Little brother, I think you seem to be short of money, but why do you have so many high-quality Yuhuang Pills around you? This was clearly made by a master alchemist. I wonder if you can know this alchemist?" The old man stared at Jiang Chen and asked.
Jiang Chen's eyes rolled sharply at this time, thinking about how to explain to these two people.
This is certain that anyone who has been refining the same elixir for several years will be proficient in the technique and extremely high quality.
However, who would spend so much time to refine low-level pills such as Yuhuang Pills? Therefore, the pills you refined must be of much higher quality than the Yuhuang Pills on the market. So the girl and the old man misunderstood that the Yuhuang Pills were made by a senior alchemist.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the girl thought he was thinking that helping him was in vain and was not profitable, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, if you can recommend this wise alchemist to me, the two primary magic weapons you had liked before, the White Bone Shield and the Nether Silk Armor, I can give it to you!"
After hearing this, Jiang Chen was really moved. It was good to obtain two primary defensive magic weapons without bloodshed.
Besides, he thought that he could not have kept the secret of alchemy.
Not to mention that Senior Brother Ran from the alchemy room had long suspected that he had achieved success in his alchemy refining. Even if he was loyal and did not publicize it, it would be too unreasonable for his cultivation to improve so rapidly. But if he had the status of an alchemist, it would be easy to explain.
Moreover, with the help of the Demon Order, he also believed that he could refine the Zhuyan Pill.
However, if you refine this Zhuyan Pill, you will definitely be scrapped. You have to use the Heavenly Demon Order to restore the materials. However, after using the Heavenly Demon Order's energy once, you will have to wait for seven days. But the sect test will start this month, and I don't have time to slowly refine the alchemy here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen already had an idea in his mind.
He smiled slightly and said, "Girl, can you send those two defensive magic weapons to me if I tell you who this alchemist is?"
"This...uh...it's better to recommend it! If the recommendation is successful, I will never go back on my word!" The girl almost agreed. Later, when she thought that he took away two primary defensive magic weapons just by moving his mouth, he was a little bit of a loss, so he added another condition.
"Okay!" Jiang Chen's eyes showed a teasing smile, and he said word by word: "Girl, then I'll tell you! That alchemist is just going down!"
"What? Did you make it yourself?" the girl and the old man asked in unison. Both of them almost popped out of their eyes.
With their eyes, Jiang Chen's cultivation level could naturally be seen at a glance that it was at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and it was the kind that had just broken through, and the spiritual root was just a mixed spiritual root. The girl was still thinking in her heart, no wonder he had only reached this level when he was twenty years old.
Of course, if she knew that Jiang Chen had spent three years to cultivate to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, she would not know how surprised she was. After all, it is rare to be a monk like Jiang Chen who takes Yuhuang Pills every day, and is such a high-quality Yuhuang Pill.
"Little brother, you shouldn't have lied that you made it yourself to get those two magic weapons?" The old man also looked disbelief.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if there are any ingredients and alchemy rooms for Yuhuang Pills in your store. You can refine them on site immediately!"
After hearing this, the girl's pretty eyes flashed. After pondering for a while, Fang calmly said to the old man: "Uncle Kun, you can lead him to the alchemy room in the backyard and give him ten more ingredients for the Yuhuang Pills. If he can really make Yuhuang Pills of this quality, then let's talk about the next step!"
The old man, known as Uncle Kun, nodded, then stood up and said to Jiang Chen: "Little brother, please!"
Jiang Chen also stood up and followed him to the backyard...
About three hours later, the old man accompanied Jiang Chen with a look of shock and returned to the private room on the second floor.
When the girl saw the two of them coming in, she immediately stood up and asked, "Uncle Kun, what's the situation?"
Uncle Kun said with an incredible expression: "Miss, it seems that this little brother is really a genius. With the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he can have such a brilliant alchemy. I have been by his side just now, watching the Yuhuang Pills he refined..."
After saying that, he took out the two porcelain bottles from his arms and handed them to the girl and said, "Miss, the bottle on the left is the five jade yellow pills that the little brother had just refined, and the bottle on the right is a waste pill, you can take a look."
When the girl heard this, she was moved and said, "What? Five of them were refined in ten pieces of materials? Uncle Kun, aren't you kidding? Has half the success rate?"
Uncle Kun sighed and said, "If it weren't for me who saw it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. Even a high-level alchemist would probably not everyone can achieve this success rate... let alone the quality of these Yuhuang pills he refined..."
The girl picked up the small porcelain bottle on the left and pulled out the bottle stopper. She felt a fragrance coming. She looked into the bottle and saw that these five yellow pills were exactly the same as what Jiang Chen had sent to the shopkeeper before, and she had no doubts in her heart.
Her big black eyes turned a few times, and after a while, she finally calmed down the surprise in her heart.
"This little brother, I wonder if you have joined the Gao surname, what sect did you join?" The girl's tone immediately became much gentler and respectful.
"My name is Jiang Chen, I am a disciple of the Demon Soul Peak of the Heavenly Demon Sect!" Jiang Chen said honestly. He then took out his identity card and handed it to the girl for a look.
He had guessed that since the girl was the boss of Tiangongfang, she must be a person with a close relationship with the Tianmo Sect. So, there is no need to hide it from her.
After the girl saw the waist card, her eyes lit up, and she could naturally recognize the waist card of this sect. So she looked at Jiang Chen with a more intimate feeling: "I didn't expect you to be a disciple of my Tianmo Sect. What an unexpected surprise!"
At this time, her eyes fluttered, and she showed a strange smile and said, "Jiang Chen, I am also a disciple of the Tianmo Sect, but I am from Tianyou Peak, my name is Zixi..."
"Tianyou Peak? It's the largest peak of the Tianmo Sect! The dead Tianmo monster and the current sect leader, Tu Junde, who is known as the Tianmo Venerable, both come from Tianfu Peak... It seems that this Tiangongfang should be opened by a real-powerful person in Tianfu Peak. And Zi Xi's identity must be extraordinary!" Jiang Chen's eyelids couldn't help but jump a few times.
"This... my cultivation level is in the middle stage of Qi refining, but Miss Zixi, you are in the early stage of foundation building. According to the rules, I should call you uncle..." Jiang Chen said in shame.
"After that being said, I am only two years old... I am in my twenties. You really call me uncle. I still think I'm old!" Zi Xi's big black eyes turned and said softly: "Jiang Chen, although your cultivation is temporarily lower than me, your alchemy skills are so brilliant. As the saying goes, if you are capable, we should just consider it equals. Just call your senior sister and younger brother, and let's talk about friendship with your peers!"
She said generously, looking very pure and cute, and she looked like a person in her twenties.
Uncle Kun, who was standing beside him, was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out. He wondered, how could the eldest lady be condescending to discuss friendship with such a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage? Even if he is an alchemist, he would not be able to make friends like this!
Jiang Chen was thinking in his heart that Zixi had either such a heart or was doing it on purpose. And she was speaking like this, probably trying to make friends with her.
He could also guess that although Zi Xi looked beautiful and cute, she must have been quite scheming, otherwise the Lord of Tianyou Peak would not have let her sit in the Tiangongfang.
He is also a young and potential alchemist, which is of great help to the cultivation of monks. Now that he is in a state of affairs, Zi Xi takes the initiative to establish a good relationship with him, which is much more cost-effective than going to make friends after he makes his mark in the future. After all, everyone still remembers the timely help, but the icing on the cake is often disdainful.
He didn't say it out loud, but just smiled slightly and said, "Since Miss Zixi is condescending to the subordinates, then I'm really disrespectful. I just don't know when senior sister plans to ask Mr. Jiang to refine the alchemy?"
He also changed his words immediately.
"...Of course the faster the better! I wonder when Junior Brother Jiang will be free?" Zi Xi suddenly looked anxious and asked impatiently.
"This... Jiang is going to take the sect exam this month, which is related to whether I can become an outer disciple... So, how about I refine the sect pill for my senior sister after the sect exam?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
"Sector Tips?" Zi Xi was stunned after hearing this and asked with confusion: "Uncle Kun, the sect test should be the assessment of the skills and magical powers of the disciples in their peaks in each peak. When will it be related to the promotion of the registered disciple to the outer disciple? Isn't it automatically promoted to the middle stage of Qi Refining?"
Uncle Kun coughed twice, and Fang sighed: "Miss, in the past two or three years, my Tianmo Sect has recruited too many casual cultivators. Almost people with spiritual roots are going to be recruited into sects and become disciples, so the supply of spirit stones is a bit ineffective. So, a few days ago, the sect leader and several elders discussed: starting this year, every three years of sect examination has become the assessment of the promotion of registered disciples to outer disciples. Each mountain has a certain promotion quota, so that the registered disciples who have reached the middle stage of Qi Refining within these three years will compete for... Like our Tianyou Peak, there are thirty outer disciples this time..."
After hearing this, Zi Xi shook her head and sighed: "I don't know how many people I can recruit, but I don't know how many of them are. And it's hard to say whether there are spies from the Blood Shadow Sect or whether there are ulterior motives... I don't know what the sect leader and the elders are thinking..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly woke up that she should not criticize the sect leader in front of Jiang Chen.
Seeing her face darkened, Fang Youran said, "Sister Sister, don't worry! I naturally know what to say and what to say in my heart!"
Zixi was a little broad-minded at this time, feeling that although this "Junior Brother Jiang" had a lower cultivation level, he was still very keen. Moreover, looking at his appearance, his eyebrows were beautiful, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was quite handsome, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little rippling.
After a while, she calmed down, cleared her throat, and pulled the topic back to the main topic: "Junior Brother Jiang, since you are going to take the Demon Soul Peak exam, that is a big deal. Senior Sister is not an ignorant person. Let's wait for your test to talk about alchemy... If you can't win the qualification of an outer disciple on the Demon Soul Peak, why not come to our Tianyou Peak! With your alchemy technique, Senior Sister will win you an additional qualification of an outer disciple, and it's okay!"
Jiang Chen also knew the reason why it was good to enjoy the cool under the big tree. Judging from Zi Xi's tone, her status in Tianyou Peak must be quite good. If he had been in Tianyou Peak, he would have lived a much better life than at Demon Soul Peak. However, he felt that doing this would be a bit of a soft meal, and it would have to rely on a woman to take care of it, which would have made him feel a little harsh. This would be very unfavorable for future spiritual cultivation. He was thinking about relying on his own strength to climb step by step.
However, he did not refuse Zi Xi at all, after all, others were kind-hearted.
"Well, I'll do my best to prepare for the small exam now. If I really can't get the qualification of an outer disciple, let's talk about it!" Jiang Chen said calmly.
Zixi smiled slightly, raised her jade hand and snapped her fingers. She saw the previous guy walk into the room and then put three jade boxes on the table.
She first picked up the two jade boxes on her face and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, my senior sister had promised to recommend that you recommend that you to me the wise alchemist, and this pair of bone shield and Nether Silk Armor will be given to you... The senior sister always has a word of words, please keep it!"
Jiang Chen was not very polite to her, and immediately put these two magic weapons into the storage bag.
Then, Zi Xi handed the jade box at the bottom to Jiang Chen, and his eyes fluttered: "Jiang Chen, if you want to take the sect exam, just a defensive magic weapon is not enough. This is a pair of step cloud boots. After putting it on, it can greatly increase your movement speed. It is also a primary magic weapon, which is considered as the deposit for your senior sister to refine Zhuyan Pills... After you help your senior sister successfully refine it, you will thank you again!"
Although Jiang Chen knew that this must be Zi Xi's way of winning over him, he was still very grateful. After all, this was very helpful to his little test! After thanking him repeatedly, he finally accepted it.
"Sister Zi, I'll say goodbye now. After the sect exam is over, I will definitely come here to make Zhuyan Pills for my senior sister, and I will never break my promise!" Jiang Chen said seriously.
"Well! Then let's exchange the marks! It's time to send a message to contact me!" Zi Xi said with a smile.
Music transmission is a communication method that is widely used in the world of immortal cultivation. If two monks exchange marks containing their own aura of life, they can inform each other of some short messages within a hundred miles through music transmission.
When Zi Xi said this, her pretty face had a faint shy expression, which made her expression more charming, making Jiang Chen feel slightly swayed.
However, he immediately reacted, calmed down, then exchanged marks with Zi Xi, and then put three magic weapons into the storage bag.
Immediately, Jiang Chen bowed to Zixi and Uncle Kun, and then said goodbye and left.
After he left, Uncle Kun couldn't help asking: "Miss, although Jiang Chen has good alchemy skills, he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage at such an age. I'm afraid that the foundation building will become a big problem in the future. I can't take care of many spirit stones for those three magic weapons, but do you need to condescend like this? You also discuss friendship with him with his peers..."
