Chapter 138 Generous Gift
In Yunzhou City, where the Chamber of Commerce gathered, Shan Qin took a pill and went to a dark hall.
There was no light in the hall, only a ray of sunlight projected from the patio illuminated the old figure lying in the rocking chair beside him.
The sound of popping and popping was repeated in a loop, and the bamboo rocking chair slowly rocked the old body.
Shan Qin walked near the old man and said softly after seeing the ceremony:
"Uncle Grandpa!"
The rocking chair stopped rocking, and the squealing sound also stopped for an instant.
The old man on the chair opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Shan Qin beside him:
“It turns out to be Shan, what’s the matter?”
Shan Qinfeng The last elixir was presented in front of me:
"Please ask Grandpa Jie to take a look at this elixir."
The old man picked it up, and a wisp of pale flame emerged from his fingertips, wrapping the useless blood ginseng elixir. In a short time, the elixir turned into ashes under the burning flames.
The old man was silent for a moment. Shan Qin did not urge him, but waited silently.
The old monk in front of him is none other than Xie Yuanrui, one of the fourth-level alchemists gathered in the Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, he is also a Yuanying monk. He is very close to the Shan family in the meeting and is a strong supporter of it.
However, due to his old age, he rarely participated in the affairs of the meeting and gradually faded out of the public eye. It was difficult for ordinary people to even meet him.
Shan Qin was bringing the elixir he got from Wei Zhong to the house for appraisal at this moment.
Close his eyes and think for a moment, the old man named Xie Yuanrui slowly said:
"The fourth-level blood ginseng waste elixir is only one step away from becoming a complete elixir. The refiner's fourth-level technique Although it is unfamiliar, it can be seen that his skills are solid.
It should be made by a third-level alchemist who attacked the fourth level. I wonder, girl, am I right?"
Shan Qin looked a little surprised when he heard this:
"Grandpa Jie's clever plan!"
The old man laughed twice.
Shan Qin asked:
“I dare to ask Grandpa Shan, how far away from the fourth-level alchemy master level is the person who refined this pill.”
"He has a solid foundation in skills, but he is not proficient enough in refining the fourth-level elixir. If there are a few thousand-year elixirs for him to use, the fourth-level elixir is just a last resort."
Shan Qin looked happy. color.
‘It’s really as Wei Zhong said. ’
But I heard the old man ask:
“Is this another youngster in my club who is about to be promoted?”
Shan Qin then slowly told the story about Wei Zhong.
Xie Yuanrui kept nodding his head when he heard this, and finally commented:
“Achieving such an achievement within a hundred years can be regarded as a talent.”
“Since he is a talent, Grandpa Xie How about accepting him as a disciple?”
The latter was silent for a moment, then shook his head:
"I'm old, I don't have enough energy, and I might die suddenly one day. How can I still have the ability to teach my disciples?"
A trace of regret and sadness appeared in Shan Qin's eyes.
“According to what you said, Wei Zhong has been practicing as a casual cultivator for hundreds of years and has never joined any force. He is probably an ascetic cultivator who doesn’t want to cause trouble.
Even if the old Taoist comes to arrest him. Disciple, I am afraid that the other party will also have some scruples and do not want to do this.
Instead of accepting him as a disciple and binding him to the Chamber of Commerce, it is better to win over him with benefits and treat him sincerely for a long time. Will surrender.
Just like your father treated me back then! "
Shan Qin bowed and saluted:
" Qin'er understands! "
"Okay, step back, I want to rest for a while. "
After saying that, Shan Qin closed her eyes without waiting for a reply.
The bamboo rocking chair began to rock again. Shan Qin looked and saw that the sunlight shining down from the patio illuminated the old man's legs, but he could not move up slightly.
The opponent's face is hidden in the darkness, and his complexion cannot be seen clearly.
Sighing slightly, Shan Qin bowed again and slowly retreated.
Outside the hall, Miaoli fir has been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Shan Qin leaving the palace, he quickly walked forward and asked:
"What does Mr. Jie say?"
Shan Qin replied:
"Wei Zhong's alchemy skills are real. Mr. Jie bluntly said that he only needs a few thousand-year-old elixir to be promoted. Level 4.
Unfortunately, Mr. Jie did not agree to accept the disciple, so he asked me to win over him with benefits."
Miaoli Shan nodded:
"What Mr. Jie said is right. Wei Zhong doesn't seem to want to submit to a family.
As a casual cultivator who has been wandering for many years, he naturally has no sense of trust in us.
It's still interests. It's a good win."
After saying this, Miaolishan said carefully:
"How is Mr. Jie?"
Shan Qin shook his head slightly:
“I have been feeling groggy all day, and it seems that the end is approaching.”
Miaoli Shan couldn’t help but look sad after hearing this.
... generally.
Wei Zhong has no intention of completely devoting himself to any force, even if he wants to become a disciple of a Yuanying monk or a fourth-level alchemist.
Besides, he is still a monk who is about to die. The complicated connections behind him are the last thing Wei Zhong wants to come into contact with. Factional disputes and entangled relationships...
Such troublesome situations are real It is an obstacle to practice.
Even if it can bring great benefits to Wei Zhong, it is meaningless.
As long as Wei Zhong continues to practice steadily, sooner or later he will be able to earn money for his practice by relying on his own strength, and there is no need to use this small body to obtain the treasure in the fire.
Of course, all this may have come to an end as Xie Yuanrui fell asleep.
...
“Half a year has passed, and it’s time to tell the Yunji Chamber of Commerce that I have been promoted to the fourth level of alchemy master.”
After Wei Zhong informed Xu Xuan of this news, he was shocked. Xuan even formed a pill in the meeting and personally escorted the news to Yunzhou City to report to Shan Qin.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you have kept it from me for too long!"
Xu Xuan said with a bitter smile and disbelief on his face.
Wei Zhong cupped his hands and smiled:
“It’s just cultivation by the Chamber of Commerce...”
After negotiating with Xu Xuan, Wei Zhong left Yuelan City and returned Qingbo Island.
"The announcement of the identity of the fourth-level alchemist has many benefits, but there may also be many hidden disadvantages.
I just hope that those monks who want to do things in private will not go too far, otherwise..."< br>
When Wei Zhong said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
With krypton-level life-changing means and [Years of Taoism] in his body, Wei Zhong is equivalent to a Nascent Soul with hidden cultivation.
He is also the number one person in Yunzhou and cannot bear to be bullied by others.
"If the enemy is unkind, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Wei Zhong rolled his sleeves and went to Dongtian for retreat again. Less than a month had passed this time before someone touched the Qingbo Island formation.
It was Shan Qin and Miaoli Shan who arrived after learning that Wei Zhong had been promoted to the fourth level of alchemy master.
“Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wei for successfully being promoted to the fourth level alchemy master?”
As soon as the two of them saw Wei Zhong, they cupped their hands and spoke.
Wei Zhong returned the favor with a smile, and led the two of them to a small courtyard in Yunqing Courtyard, offered them spiritual tea and other things, and started talking with them.
Take out two jade bottles containing elixirs.
After the two girls identified each other, Shan Qin said in shock:
"Blood Shen Dan, and, is this the Earth Xuan Dan?"
The Blood Shen Dan is one of the easier elixirs to get started among the fourth-level elixirs. In the eyes of Shan Qin and others, it is not surprising that Wei Zhong refined this elixir.
But the Dixuan Pill is different. This pill is a common healing pill among Yuanying monks.
The difficulty of refining must be at the intermediate level of the fourth level. How can Wei Zhong be able to refine this elixir after entering the fourth level in such a short time?
The two girls looked up to Wei Zhong a little more.
“I’m still not proficient enough. The last time Fellow Daoist Shan sent me such a long Qingxuan root, I only made one Earthly Mysterious Pill. It was really a waste of natural resources.”
"Fellow Daoist Wei is serious. For ordinary people who have entered the level of fourth-level alchemy masters, who has not dared to refine this kind of elixir for many years, and the success rate is also pitifully low.
Fellow Taoist, in just one year, To be able to refine the low-grade Qingxuan Pill is a sign of superb alchemy skills."
Wei Zhong didn't take the compliment to heart and just chatted with the two about refining the pill.
After a while, Shan Qin took out a jade-colored token, which seemed to be somewhat similar to Wei Zhong's guest token, only larger.
Miaolishan pushed him in front of Wei Zhong and said:
"This is a brand new guest token prepared for Fellow Daoist Wei. It has a fourth-level protective spell burned into it, which can withstand the attack of the early Nascent Soul monks and increase fellow Daoist's self-protection power."
Wei Zhong took it. Picking it up, touching some warm jade tokens, and seeing the aura flowing continuously on them, there was a bit of admiration in his eyes.
‘Such spiritual materials that can carry out fourth-level spells are probably worth a lot of money. They are worthy of the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, and they are so grand as soon as they are sold. ’
“Fellow Taoist only needs to bring the previous token close to it to transfer the contribution points to it.”
After Wei Zhong tried according to what the other party said, it was indeed the case.
His spiritual sense penetrated into the token and saw various spiritual objects with different contribution points.
There are even fourth-level spiritual objects on it, but the price quoted is not for contribution points, but for various high-level spiritual materials, such as fourth-level spiritual elixirs.
When Wei Zhong was confused, Shan Qin explained:
“Most of the high-level spiritual objects on it are not provided by our Yunji Chamber of Commerce, but come from various Nascent Soul monks, or As an outstanding person in the alchemy circle like Taoist friends, it is an act of bartering. Taoist friends can communicate with the monks and agree on the transaction price.
Transactions can be made through the Weyunji Chamber of Commerce or privately.
In addition, the identity information of the characters is absolutely confidential, and Taoist friends do not have to worry about the trouble caused by exposing their identities..."
Shan Qin explained its purpose, and Wei Zhong couldn't help but nod. .
The transaction method in this token is very suitable for Wei Zhong. Being able to hide his identity is exactly what Wei Zhong needs.
Wei Zhong has always practiced Gou Dao and minimized his practice. risks in order to practice smoothly
After announcing the identity of the fourth-level alchemist to Shan Qin, the other party did not let him participate in the factional battles of the Chamber of Commerce, but provided this kind of trading platform, which naturally made Wei Zhong feel better.
Thinking like this, Shan Qin in front of him did not stop moving, and then took out two jade slips.
“One of them is an alchemy experience written by a fourth-level alchemist of our chamber of commerce. The other party asked me to hand it over to fellow Taoist Wei.”
Shan Qin’s words are true. This jade slip comes from Jie Yuan Rui.
When the other party took out this jade slip, he said:
"You have to be sincere enough to win over the other party. Don't let them think that I am a petty businessman."
"How much experience does a fourth-level alchemist have in alchemy?"
Wei Zhong looked at Shan in surprise. Celery.
‘This thing is as precious to me as the elixir of life, or even more.
It is one of the shortcuts that can quickly improve one's level 4 alchemy proficiency.
Through daily enlightenment, supplemented by alchemy verification, Wei Zhong's method of alchemy is expected to improve rapidly in a short period of time. ’
For a while, Wei Zhong was even afraid to take this thing.
But this is not over yet, Shan Qin explained another jade slip:
“I heard that fellow Taoist Wei has also made achievements in the art of weapon refining. This jade slip is a four-part jade slip. The inheritance of weapon refining may be helpful to fellow Taoist Wei."
Hearing this, Wei Zhong couldn't help but secretly praise Shan Qin for his thoughtfulness, even taking his own weapon refining method into consideration.
"There is also this storage bag. Fellow Taoist, why don't you open it and take a look?"
Wei Zhong watched the other party take out another small white jade storage bag, and felt numb for a moment.
After taking it, his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it, and he was suddenly shocked. Then he put it on the table, shook his head and said:
"Miss Shan, this gift is too heavy."< br>
The storage bag contained nothing but various elixirs. Among them are three thousand-year-old elixirs, and dozens of others that are thousand-year-old.
Last time, I only got one Qingxuan root, and there were two sections in it, which were enough for at least twenty times of alchemy.
How can this gift not overstate its importance?
"Miss Shan is such a gift, but I can't bear it."
Shan Qin couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard Wei Zhong's words.
As he expected, Wei Zhong was unwilling to accept the salary despite his merits.
If a guest token carrying fourth-level spells is the standard equipment of Yunji Chamber of Commerce for people like Wei Zhong.
The two inherited jade slips are the personal investment in Wei Zhong by the mysterious senior in the chamber of commerce and Shan Qin.
Wei Zhong still has ways to repay these two inheritances, but these elixirs can...
Wei Zhong kept shaking his head in his heart, making up his mind that he was not willing to rely on I received so many magical medicines for nothing.
"How about this, these elixirs will be sent to me by the Chamber of Commerce to entrust fellow Taoists to refine the fourth-level elixirs. Fellow Taoists can just return ten fourth-level elixirs within ten years."
Miaolishan on the side said this.
Shan Qin nodded after hearing this idea:
"It is difficult to refine the fourth-level elixir. Three thousand-year-old elixirs require Fellow Taoist Wei Zhong to provide ten elixirs, which is still too much. How about setting it to six?"
Wei Zhong shook his head:
"Senior Miao, this is a good idea," he turned to look at Shan Qin, "But there is no need to reduce the number of elixirs. , increase it to twenty pieces.
The extra part is regarded as a small return on the investment in Ms. Shan. ”
“This...”
The two women were surprised for a moment.
The share of the elixir provided in this storage bag is also for For fourth-level low-grade elixirs, there are up to twenty or thirty opportunities to refine elixirs.
Wei Zhong provided twenty elixirs at one time, which was a bit loud.
The two women did not think Wei Zhong was arrogant, but they were worried that Wei Zhong would be in resource trouble and delay his own alchemy journey.
"Okay, you two don't need to persuade me anymore. Since Pindao has put forward such conditions, he has confidence in his heart, and you two still need to have confidence in me."
Two Although ten fourth-level elixirs may seem like a lot, it is not impossible for Wei Zhong, and there is even a high chance.
All of this is attributed to Wei Zhong's level 4 alchemy proficiency that he has improved over the past few years.
