I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 108: May I ask where is his brother?

Views:

"Sister Zijin, sister Zijin~"

"This way, this way."

"It looks very lively in here!"

In Xuanfang, the sisters of the Yu family flew around like three little birds just out of the cage. Since they joined the Guixin Sect, it was the first time for them to visit such a lively place, and they were very happy for a while.

Patting Fang Qiuyao who was standing in front of a booth trying to figure out which material brother would like more, Liu Zijin asked, "If you don't get anything here, go there and have a look."

Letting out a breath, Fang Qiuyao raised her head and nodded.

Although the senior brother is good at everything, she believes that among the many hobbies, there is always one favorite of the senior brother, and she has been thinking all night to find out this favorite.

When they came to the guild area and saw the various guilds surrounded by crowds everywhere, the three sisters immediately looked around excitedly.

Fang Qiuyao was more purposeful, and she saw the alchemist association closest to her at a glance.

She knew that alchemy must be one of her senior's hobbies, and the pills she gave were so powerful, it was very likely that they were his favorites!

Confirming her guess, Fang Qiuyao immediately said to Liu Zijin: "Sister Zijin, let's go to the alchemist fellowship to have a look, maybe there are some good furnaces we can buy."

Liu Zijin nodded after hearing this, and shouted to the three Yu family sisters in the distance: "Stop running around, come quickly~"

"Yes~"

The sound of question and answer caught the attention of several passers-by, and they couldn't help but Qiqi looked at Liu Zijin and the others.

For a moment, everyone's eyes stopped in the same direction.

Although the five female cultivators were all wearing masks, their temperament and figure could not be hidden. Everyone had already begun to imagine what kind of peerless faces were hidden under those five masks.

Seeing that many people were already ready to strike up a conversation, Fang Qiuyao straightened her mask and said to the other four, "I really miss the straw hats my brother gave us."

"Yes." The three sisters of the Yu family nodded at the same time.

When they didn't wear the straw hats given by their seniors before, they were actually used to the feeling that everyone's eyes were on them, but since they experienced the feeling of not being noticed anymore, they became a little addicted.

"Let's go, go in first." After Liu Zijin finished speaking, he turned and walked into the alchemist association.

The five people first looked around, and soon found that almost all the disciples in the guild were surrounded in the innermost part. Out of curiosity, the five people also surrounded them.

Yu Guimiao stood outside the crowd and jumped twice vigorously, and saw a fire burning under a furnace inside.

So he immediately reported to several other people: "It seems that someone is refining medicine."

"Refining medicine?" Fang Qiuyao sniffed twice with her nose after hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on her face for a while. This special fragrance is exactly the same as the Qingxin Dan that her senior brother gave her, so it can't be wrong! She smells it every day, absolutely impossible to be wrong!

So she immediately said to Liu Zijin and the others: "This is the taste of senior brother!"

"Ah?" The other four were all taken aback, some of them didn't understand what Fang Qiuyao meant.

"You'll know when you come with me."

After speaking, Fang Qiuyao squeezed into the crowd and said, "Excuse me, can I have a moment?"

The squeezed person was a little upset at first, but after looking back at Fang Qiuyao and Liu Zijin and the others behind her, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared immediately, and she took a step back.

"thanks."

The next repeated plot was staged three times, and Fang Qiuyao and others easily squeezed to the front.

"fruit… "

Fang Qiuyao was about to shout excitedly, "Sure enough, it's senior brother", but she thought that her senior brother would definitely hear what she said at this time, so she pointed to the person behind the stove and expressed her excitement to Liu Zijin and the others with her eyes.

Liu Zijin nodded, with the familiar straw hat and sandals, and Qiuyao's words so sure, who else could the person behind the cauldron be a senior brother

'But why is brother making alchemy here? '

As soon as Fang Qiuyao came up with this idea, she heard Yu Guimiao on the side ask someone, "Hello, can I ask what that brother is doing?"

The disciples who were watching were thinking about how to talk to these five female cultivators later. When they heard Yu Guimiao asking themselves, they immediately replied, "It's the alchemist association. There is an event, as long as you pass the five tests set by them, you can take away a piece of Xuanyang Immortal Grass, well, it's the one hanging on it."

Following the direction pointed by the man, Liu Zijin and the others saw the Xuanyang Immortal Grass hanging on the hanging beam at the same time, and nodded together.

So the disciple continued: "No one can pass the first level of this test all morning, until now at the alchemy platform, they have passed two levels in one go, and now the third test is in progress."

"Oh~" Yu Guimiao nodded, "Thank you."

At the same time, the five of them sighed in their hearts.

'As expected of a senior brother! '

At this time, Jiang Beiran, who was helping to purify the materials, showed a smile, thinking that the alchemist association would really play tricks, and the medicinal materials used for him to practice were "old".

There are two best refining periods for medicinal materials. One is when they are freshly picked, with the most aura, and the second is when they are hundreds or even thousands of years old. The medicine can last for hundreds of years without losing its aura.

And the most embarrassing thing is that the decades-old waste medicine in the furnace has almost all leaked spiritual power, leaving only the most difficult to squeeze out.

In addition, the attributes of these elixirs are all different. Zhanrivine has a fire attribute, hydrangea has a water attribute, and Jade Feather Grass has a metallic attribute... These medicinal materials with conflicting attributes make the purification even more difficult.

But for Jiang Beiran, none of these constituted any difficulty.

Half an hour later, Jiang Beiran extinguished the fire, turned to the manager and said, "The purification has been completed."

"So fast!?" The steward and the onlookers exclaimed at the same time.

Only Liu Zijin and the others who don't know alchemy look confused, but it doesn't matter, they just need to understand that senior brother is very powerful.

Opening the furnace, following a strange fragrance wafting out of the furnace, the steward took a closer look and saw that all the medicinal materials in the furnace had been liquefied, and they were clearly separated, not fused together at all.

"Gudu..." Swallowing, the steward turned to Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother is very capable."

"Thank you, did I pass the test?"

"Of course, a perfect pass."

Hearing the steward's announcement that Jiang Beiran passed, the onlookers exclaimed again. As alchemists, they hadn't tasted the difficulty of the first two items, but they were too clear about the difficulty of purifying these multiple medicinal materials at the same time. Even the master who taught them alchemy may not be able to do it.

"It's amazing... who the hell is this person?"

Listening to the mumbling of the male disciple next to him, Yu Guimiao asked cautiously, "What did that brother do?"

The male disciple was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Miss, don't you know alchemy?"

Yu Guimiao made a gesture and said: "I can do it a little bit. I'm just starting to learn, so I can only watch the fun and ask this brother to teach me."

Hearing the word "ask for advice", the male disciple was so beautiful in an instant, he cleared his throat and explained seriously: "Then girl, listen carefully, in the process of refining medicinal materials into elixirs, purification is the most important step, and it is also The most difficult step, only after learning how to purify, can you officially become a first-grade pharmacist."

"Oh~" Yu Guimiao nodded.

"However, the difficulty of refining each medicinal material is completely different. For example, Yipin pharmacists can only purify some of the most common herbs, such as Baizhi, Qiusang, and Zeilan. They are all hard bones like Bai Qing, Pei Lan, and Mallow, and they are called hard bones because the essence in their bodies is particularly difficult to extract, and they belong to us alchemists who feel headaches when they see them."

"So that's the case, so that brother is very powerful?"

"It's not only amazing! It's amazing. It's a headache for alchemists to refine one of those hard bones, let alone mixing them together. The difficulty has increased by several levels at once, but it took half an hour for that brother to refine it." Come out, I suspect... He is very likely to be a fourth-rank alchemist."

At this time, a disciple who had been listening in finally found an opportunity, and interjected: "It's not just a fourth-rank alchemist! I think it's possible to be a fifth-rank alchemist."

"Go and go, there are only so many fifth-rank alchemists in Fengzhou, who can come here? Fourth-rank alchemists are already very powerful."

"I think you don't understand how difficult it is to purify that furnace medicine. My master is a fourth-rank alchemist. To put it bluntly, if I ask my master to come, I'm afraid there is no way to refine it in half an hour."

The disciple immediately retorted after hearing this: "That's because your master can't do it! There are several levels for a fourth-grade alchemist, and my master can do it."

"Bragging, right? Come on, tell me your master's name, I want to know who is the master."

"Say it... cut, why should I tell you, if you have the ability, you should say your master's name first."

"I don't think you dare!"

Seeing that the two suddenly pinched each other, Yu Guimiao quickly dissuaded her, "Don't quarrel, you two, let's talk about that brother."

"No!" The two disciples shouted at Yu Guimiao at the same time.

After speaking, the two continued to pinch each other over whether their master could do this.

Yu Guimiao, who was yelled at, saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so she ignored the two of them, turned around and exchanged gestures with the others. The meaning was very clear, that is...

Brother is really amazing!

Beside the stove, Jiang Beiran saw that the steward hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked, "What is the fourth level?"

The steward was taken aback. In fact, there was no fourth level. They never thought that anyone could pass the third level. The last two levels were actually prepared just in case someone who was bored came to amuse them. After a while, it seems... It's really going to come in handy.

'Is this person really an elder of which sect? '

"Brother, wait a moment, we need to make some preparations for the fourth level."

Jiang Beiran nodded: "Okay, I'll wait."

So the steward immediately ran back to the inner hall.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that the vice president was behind the door. He was taken aback for a moment before he said: "Vice president, then... that person really passed the third level."

"Well, I saw it." The vice president nodded.

"I don't think he's too polite to be a kicker. Could it be an elder from some sect to amuse us?"

"It's not like, being able to pass the third level means that he is at least a fourth-rank alchemist, and he is not far from breaking through to fifth-rank. In this Fengzhou, I basically know alchemists who can have this level. Don't give me face."

The steward was stunned when he heard that, "Then who is this great god? This is too powerful."

After hearing this, the vice president took out a small box and handed it to the steward, and said, "This is filled with Biying Pill, the content of the fourth level is to let him remove 50% of the poison in this Biying Pill."

"Ah!? Detoxification!?"

The so-called three-point poison of the medicine, the more violent the effect of the pill, the stronger the toxicity, and even some pills will directly kill the user after a short and large increase.

Therefore, an alchemist who can practice low erysipelas is very welcome.

Compared with the alchemist who has trained low erysipelas, the alchemist who can remove the inner toxicity of the formed elixir is more powerful, and at least a fifth-rank alchemist can do it.

"Well, let's go." The vice president nodded.

"Yes..." The steward nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard the vice president say again: "If he can pass this fourth test, bring him in to see me."

"Yes."

Once again promised, the manager walked out holding the small box.

Arching his hands towards the steward, Jiang Beiran asked, "Is this the fourth pass?"

The steward nodded, opened the box, showed the Biying Pill inside and said, "The content of the fourth level is to remove 50% of the toxins in the Biying Pill."

"what!?"

The disciples onlookers collectively exclaimed, even the two disciples who were arguing over who is the best master stopped arguing, and stared at the small box in the steward's hand.

As alchemists, they knew too well what it meant to be able to remove the toxins in the formed pills.

The moment Jiang Beiran finished listening, two options popped up in front of him.

[Option 1: Accept the challenge and continue to pass the fourth level. Completion reward: Peach Blossom Pill Array (Xuan-level middle-grade)]

[Option 2: Reject the other party. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]

Seeing the system options pop up, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt a sense of security in his heart, warm and caring.

In fact, when he broke through the third level, he was already a little uneasy, because before the change, whenever he wanted to show some unique strengths in front of others, the system would immediately skip the option.

But today the system is uncharacteristically. At first, Jiang Beiran thought that it might be the credit of Mingran's suit. After all, no one can recognize him, so it's okay to make a high profile.

However, he showed too much ability in front of people today. If he didn't jump to the prompt, he would even wonder if he triggered too many options when he went out yesterday, which caused it to go on strike today.

So seeing the options now, Jiang Beiran's hanging heart finally fell.

After choosing the second choice, Jiang Beiran closed the box containing Biying Pill and said, "It seems that the Guild has never planned to give away this Xuanyang Immortal Grass from the very beginning, so I won't bother you."

[Optional task completed, reward: Chess +1]
