Chapter 141 Appointment
The banquet held in Zhigang Palace did not last long, and everyone dispersed.
According to what Wei Zhong learned from Wang Lihua, this was just a small banquet, and there would be another banquet in Yunzhou City.
At that time, all Taoist friends he is familiar with will be invited to witness the acceptance of disciples.
After all, as a member of the Wang family, Wang Lihua is not only a third-order formation mage, but also an alchemy monk. His connections in a place like Yunzhou are not comparable to those of his subordinate Luohe Mansion.
He also enthusiastically invited Wei Zhong to attend the banquet, but Wei Zhong refused on the grounds of cultivation.
The other party was not annoyed and continued to communicate enthusiastically with Wei Zhong.
During the banquet, there were also several alchemy masters who wanted to gain friendship with Wei Zhong, the master of alchemy. They came over from time to time to toast. Wei Zhong maintained his proper demeanor and returned the favor one by one.
At this time, two people from the Qingmu Sect also came over and greeted Wei Zhong.
Holding the wine glass, he cupped his hands and said:
"I've met Master Wei!"
Wei Zhong raised his glass and responded:
"The two fellow Taoists looked strange, could they be from other places?"
The leader Yao Zhengsheng smiled and said:
"We are from the Qingmu Sect of Mangyuan Prefecture, and our poor Taoist name is Yao Zhengsheng. This is my junior brother Yi Liu. The two of us were traveling here, and we were invited by fellow Taoist Song to have a drink. .”
‘Aoki Sect? ’ When Xie Linghua heard the name of this sect, she knew it in her heart. No wonder Wei Zhong had told him so before.
“It turned out to be two colleagues from the Qingmu Sect. It must have taken a long time for the two of them to cross many cities.”
Yi Liu shook his head:
“ It only lasts a few years, which is nothing compared to the long life span of the alchemy monks like us.
In the past, I was trapped in a small place and didn’t know that I was short-sighted. Now when I go out to the outside world, I know that there are many heroes in the world. ····"
Yi Liu looked filled with emotion, but Wei Zhong said:
“Yi Daoyou’s words make sense...”
The three of them talked, and Yao Zhengsheng Make a request for alchemy.
After hearing this, Wei Zhong readily agreed:
"Do you two know the rules of alchemy?"
Both of them nodded:
"We have already inquired."
'Very good, it seems that we are well prepared. '
Wei Zhong took the various elixirs handed over by the two men and said:
"After one month, you two can come to Qingbo Island to pick up the elixirs."
"Thank you, Master Wei!"
······
After the banquet, Wei Zhong said goodbye to all his colleagues and left with the two girls in the Nine Colors.
On the back of the bird, Xie Linghua asked aloud:
"Then the Qingmu Sect was so overbearing in the past, why do you help it make elixirs now?"
Wei Zhong picked up the other person's little hand and rubbed it in his palm:
"Silly girl, if I refuse in person, wouldn't it be inconsistent with my usual behavior? In order to refuse the two of them, it has affected my current reputation, but the gain outweighs the loss. .
Today’s Aoki Sect does not have the value of destroying its reputation like me...”
Wei Zhong’s remarks did not convince Xie Linghua. It seems that the latter has no regard for the Aoki Sect. The impression was extremely bad.
Looking back, it seems that since Black Lake Island, Xie Linghua has been solely responsible for the affairs of the island, and she has more contacts with the subordinate forces of the Qingmu Sect.
This impression was probably made at that time.
Ling Ziwei on the side was quite curious about the past of the two. Knowing that she could not get any information from Wei Zhong, she pulled Xie Linghua's sleeve and asked.
Xie Linghua told everything she knew, and in the blink of an eye she told everything about the past, including many parts that Wei Zhong didn't even know about.
Including but not limited to incidents such as the Aoki Sect disciples using their status to lower the prices of the spiritual objects produced on Black Lake Island.
Ling Ziwei was quite emotional after hearing this:
"Almost all the major sects in the world look like this. Our Ling family was also oppressed by the Core Formation forces and could not hold our head up.
It's just that the Qingmu Sect dominates the whole house and behaves more domineeringly."
When the Ling family was still a foundation-building family, they also struggled to survive among the core-building forces.
Fortunately, Luohe Prefecture has more alchemy powers, so there is no situation where Mangyuan Prefecture is dominated by one family, so it’s pretty good.
After Ling Hua met Sikong Changming, the alchemy monk, the situation improved.
After that, Ling Hua and Ling Ziwei both formed pills and completely reversed the Ling family's predicament, becoming the top pill-forming family in Luohe Mansion.
After talking for a while, the three of them returned to Qingbo Island and dispersed to practice in seclusion.
This has been the norm in the past few decades. For practitioners, if they want to improve their realm, they must give up most of their time.
In the cave, Wei Zhong looked at the elixir in front of him and frowned.
There are two kinds of elixirs commissioned by Yao Zhengsheng to refine, the Haoyuan Dan used for the spiritual practice of elixir formation, and the Jinchan elixir used for the physical cultivation of elixir formation, which is also a third-level spiritual elixir.
Wei Zhong had never refined an elixir like the Golden Chan Pill, but after looking through the recipe, he became familiar with it, and he became much more confident in refining it.
However, Wei Zhong's worry does not lie there.
With the blessing of his fourth-level elixir technique, there is no possibility of accidents in the refining of the Golden Zen Pill.
What Wei Zhong cares about is that he will practice very well.
This is Wei Zhong’s biggest worry after improving his alchemy skills.
Now Wei Zhong is refining Haoyuan Dan. He can achieve a sixty-four split between the upper and middle grades, and rarely produces low-grade pills. It can be said that his alchemy skills are extremely superb.
For this reason, Wei Zhong even improved the quality of Qingbo Island's elixir business, mainly producing mid-grade Haoyuan Dan, and occasionally deliberately refining inferior products as by-products.
As for the high-grade ones, some of them are kept for self-cultivation, and the rest are handed over to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce for sale.
Yao Zhengsheng asked him to make elixirs, so he naturally came for the middle-grade Haoyuan Dan.
Wei Zhong thought about it and made up his mind.
Of the ten elixirs, only one is of high quality, and the rest are offset by medium and low quality.
It's not that Wei Zhong wants to steal other people's elixirs, but it's really a helpless move to cover up his own abilities.
If you really expose your alchemy skills, I am afraid that Yuanying monks will come to your door soon and arrest you to refine alchemy for their power.
In this way, Wei Zhong would have to move out the signboard of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and he would owe the Chamber of Commerce a favor.
Wei Zhong’s scalp went numb just thinking about the trouble after exposing his alchemy skills.
Wei Zhong shook his head and started refining the pill directly.
In just half a month, Wei Zhong completed refining all the elixirs.
According to your own standards, take a 20% share from the refined elixir.
And adjust the grade quantity of Haoyuan Dan, and then put it into the elixir bottle.
Looking at the pill bottles on the ground, Wei Zhong suddenly felt that he was still too ostentatious. He replaced some of the middle-grade elixirs with lower-grade elixirs, and continued to reduce the number of high-grade elixirs twice. Wei Zhong Now I feel a little satisfied.
After putting away the Haoyuan Pill, Wei Zhong looked at another Jinchan Pill. This pill had a purple-gold color, which was slightly different from the golden color of the Haoyuan Pill. In the early days of refining Wei Zhong, the middle and lower grades were divided into 28 points. Later, after he became proficient, he was able to make a furnace with medium-low grade, medium grade, and top grade, and divided into 4, 4 and 2 points.
For this reason, Wei Zhong had to take out half of the high-grade elixirs, and mainly kept the middle- and low-grade elixirs.
‘It’s really troublesome after the improvement of this alchemy skill. Now I have to deliberately hide my clumsiness when helping others to make alchemy. ’
Wei Zhong complained in his heart, put away all the elixirs, and went out to summon Hu Jinchuan.
Looking at the young monk in front of him, Wei Zhong said:
"Two alchemy monks will come to the door in half a month. Please hand over this storage bag to them on my behalf."
Wei Zhong He handed the storage bag containing the elixir to the other party, who was a little at a loss after taking it.
"Master, this..."
Hu Jinchuan didn't need to think about it to know that there was an extremely precious thing in the storage bag, and he had no hope of earning it after working for hundreds of years.
'I entrust this important task to myself, the master is really...'
Wei Zhong has no intention of changing his mind:
"That's it, it's just with Jiedan It's just a matter of dealing with monks, it's just a normal elixir transaction.
In addition, I plan to leave the future elixir transactions on Qingbo Island to you. Don't worry about not having enough cultivation, I will find a helper for you. "
Hu Jinchuan was surprised when he heard this. He never expected that Wei Zhonghui would entrust him with such an important task.
Wei Zhong was thinking in his mind:
‘Although Xie Linghua has improved her spiritual root qualifications to reach the middle level, forming pills is still difficult.
Only after upgrading the spiritual root to a high level will it be possible, and this will probably take a lot of time.
In this way, the affairs on Spirit Island cannot be taken over by him and must be delegated to other people. ’
That’s when Wei Zhong came up with the idea of handing over the elixir matter to Hu Jinchuan.
After Hu Jinchuan taught the alchemy method himself, he is now a serious first-level alchemist and has a certain reputation in the market.
As an alchemist, he is naturally suitable to be responsible for the elixir.
The problem is that the cultivation level is low and the human heart is unpredictable. Wei Zhong was worried that the other party would be tempted by the huge benefits and commit betrayal.
The delivery of the elixir this time is a preliminary test.
“Master, Jinchuan may not be qualified for such an important task!”
However, Wei Zhong did not take back his life, and threw out a bottle of high-grade Qi-nourishing Pill. The other party felt warm in his heart when he saw such a reward of spiritual pill.
‘Now I am just refining low-grade Qi-nourishing pills, occasionally refining one or two mid-grade Qi-nourishing pills. High-grade Qi-nourishing pills have never been produced. As soon as the master takes action, he will be rewarded with high-grade elixir. '
Wei Zhong saw that there was no surprise in his appearance, and warned:
"Do it well, do it well, and there will be no shortage of magical elixirs. In addition, I have arrangements to ensure that you "
Seeing that Wei Zhong had been appointed several times, Hu Jinchuan could not refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Wei Zhong waved his hand, and the latter retreated.
Outside Yunqing Hospital, Hu Jinchuan held a storage bag in his hand, his heart beating wildly.
I was extremely happy to receive the reward of Wei Zhongling Pill just now, but after that I felt endless fear.
‘How can I endure such a big responsibility through my own cultivation? ’
Hu Jinchuan thought for a long time and finally turned into a bitter smile.
He carefully hid the storage bag inside the robe and looked around like a thief, for fear that someone would see this scene. Then he rushed towards his residence.
When he met an acquaintance on the road and chatted with him, Hu Jinchuan couldn't speak smoothly, so he hurriedly replied and left.
Cause others to wonder:
"What has this little alchemist Hu done?"
On the way home, Hu Jinchuan was very nervous, everyone he saw seemed to be trying to Grab your own storage bag.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the chirping of birds in the air, which almost made him jump up in fright.
After identifying it, I realized that it was the contracted spirit beast of my master.
Nine colors slowly fell on his shoulders, tilted his head and glanced at Hu Jinchuan, then closed his eyes and began to rest.
Looking at the bird that was as tall as his head and sitting on his shoulder, and feeling the pressure from the other side, Hu Jinchuan retreated nervously and felt calmer.
"Is this the helper that the master has found for me?" Hu Jinchuan murmured, looking at the extraordinary Jiucai, "the master is still thoughtful."
·······
In the cave sky, Wei Zhong sent away the nine colors, and now there are only ghost bees and golden eyebrows accompanying them.
“Jiucai has absorbed a lot of wind demon elixirs, and the accumulation is enough. The rest is just waiting for the opportunity to advance.
Rather than let it stay in this cave. If he's lazy, it's better to find a job for him. Helping Hu Jinchuan sell pills is a good idea."
Now that Jiucai is at the second level, he has few opponents. He even carries the trump card refined by Wei Zhong, so he has room to maneuver even if he is robbed by the Dan Jie.
With just a moment of delay, Wei Zhong could find the location and rush there quickly by burning the true seal in his body.
·······
Half a month passed quickly, and Yao Zhengsheng and Yi Liu arrived at Qingbo Island.
Seeing the magnificent magic circle on the spiritual island, the two of them sighed. Such a formation has surpassed the Aoki Sect's sect-protecting formation after losing the Dragon Bone Suppression.
Master Wei’s net worth is simply unimaginable.
When the two arrived, the spirit island formation sank down, revealing a pavilion on the outside, where Hu Jinchuan was waiting.
Just when the two of them were confused, Wei Zhong's voice came to their ears:
"Forgive me, my two Taoist friends. I am currently practicing and cannot escape, so I sent my subordinates. Please don’t blame me for delivering the elixir.
Pindao has already taken a cut of the finished elixir as agreed. They can check it out after they obtain the elixir..."
Listen. Hearing the voice transmission in their ears, the two of them did not feel unhappy at all because of Wei Zhong's behavior. They slightly cupped their hands toward the formation and landed in the pavilion below.
When Hu Jinchuan saw two unfamiliar pills falling in front of him, he also knew that these were the objects of this transaction. He felt panic for a moment, but he quickly calmed down when he caught a glimpse of the spiritual bird on his shoulder.
The two of them also saw the Nine Colors as big as an ordinary person's head, and seemed to recognize that this was the second-order spiritual bird that Wei Zhong rode when he went to the banquet that day. They secretly thought about Master Wei. Really cautious.
Hu Jinchuan took out the storage bag in his arms and handed it to the two of them. After Yao Zhengsheng and Yi Liu took turns to check it with their spiritual senses, they both felt a little surprised, and then it turned into normal.
“Can you please convey my gratitude to Master Wei on my behalf!”
“I will definitely do it!”
There was not much conversation during the transaction. The two of them went to the elixir and flew away.
After staying away from Qingbo Island, Yi Liu couldn't help but say:
"Senior brother, Master Wei's alchemy skills are really extraordinary. He can even produce high-grade third-level elixirs. "
When Yi Liu said this, he saw the top-grade Haoyuan Pill and the top-grade Jinchan Pill in the storage bag.
Yao Zhengsheng nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Master Wei is not only superb in alchemy, he is also honest in his business. The elixir in the bag has exceeded the share that other alchemists can give."
"Yes, it is better than that of Tiezhen alchemist. How kind!”
