The butler couldn't help but blushed after hearing this. He really felt that the exam questions were too difficult, so he couldn't even say a rebuttal.
Hearing that even Jiang Beiran said that, the people below immediately booed: "Oh, the alchemist association of the Moon Sect is nothing more than that, and they come up with such a topic to make things difficult for others, just say that they don't want to give rewards. .”
"That's right, alchemists who can detoxify finished pills will come here to participate in your little event?"
"I'm laughing to death. It seems that I have to promote it to my peers when I go out. The Alchemist Association of the Moon Sect is also a master who likes to play tricks."
Although Yu Guimiao, who was at the front of the crowd, didn't know why everyone was so angry when she helped detoxify the elixir, she knew that her senior brother must have been treated unfairly, so she also raised her hand and shouted.
"That's right, that's right!"
Hearing Yu Guimiao's voice in the crowd, Jiang Beiran suddenly frowned and glanced towards them.
'Hiss... how come these five golden flowers are here. '
Jiang Bei could be sure that they definitely did not come in with him, otherwise he would have found out a long time ago, so they could only have happened to be here when he was concentrating on alchemy just now.
"Nie Yuan..."
And Jiang Beiran guessed that they should have recognized him, after all, he hadn't changed his obscuring style.
'Let's make it into another style next time. '
Pushing the box containing Biying Dan back to the steward, Jiang Beiran turned and left.
Although the Xuanyang Immortal Grass is a bit tempting, it's just a bit tempting, and it's not worth Jiang Beiran's risk at all.
"My little friend, please wait a moment."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to walk out of the counter, an elder with white beard opened the door and came out to stop Jiang Beiran.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Beiran asked without turning his head.
"Actually, after passing three levels, this Xuanyang Immortal Grass is already yours, little friend. The fourth level is entirely my personal wish. If you offend little friend, I will apologize to you here."
Hearing that the other party's attitude was not bad, and the system didn't jump any more prompts, Jiang Beiran turned around and said, "It's not too much to offend, and you don't need to apologize, so can you give me the Xuanyang Xiancao now?"
"Of course, but before that, can you please come in and have a sit?"
Seeing that the system still did not prompt, Jiang Bei responded, "Okay, since it is an invitation from the elders, there is no reason for the younger generation to refuse."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he cupped his hands to the people around him and said, "Thank you for your words just now."
When the people around heard this, they also cupped their hands towards Jiang Bei and said, "Brother, you are being polite, this is what you deserve."
Arching his hands again, Jiang Beiran took out a few porcelain bottles from the Qiankun Ring and handed them to the steward, saying, "Please help me distribute these Yulu Pills to the friends present, there should be enough."
"Gyuromaru!?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, this is a second-grade elixir! If you say give it away, you can give it away, or give away dozens of pieces, this is too generous!
Shocked, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands to Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother Gao Yi! I will keep it in my heart!"
Finally, bowing his hands towards the crowd, Jiang Beiran followed the old man into the inner hall.
"Overbearing... It's such a hand to give away dozens of second-grade pills at random."
"I understand what a real master of alchemy is. In the eyes of others, the second-grade elixir is probably the same as jelly beans."
"I'm convinced... which expert is this?"
Listening to a group of people praising senior brother in various ways, Liu Zijin and the other five also became inexplicably proud, thinking: "That's not true, senior brother is so tall that you can't imagine!"
…
The reason why Jiang Beiran wanted to do this was that he was really grateful to those onlookers outside. No matter what the purpose was, they were helping him to publicly ridicule and cover up Yuezong, which can be regarded as righteousness.
The second is to show off your handiwork, shock the trade association, and let them think about whether they have someone above them, or an organization behind them, and don't treat him too much as a soft persimmon.
"Please sit down."
Following the old man to a private room in the inner hall, the old man made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Beiran and said.
"Please first." Jiang Beiran replied politely.
Smiling and sitting back in his seat, the old man picked up the teapot and said, "Do you like tea, little friend?"
Jiang Beiran nodded: "Well, I like it."
"Haha, then you must try the Baiyueguang tea, which is a specialty of our Yuezong. This tea is collected once a year. It is very precious. I don't brew it for ordinary people." The old man said as he took it out from the cabinet below. A wood-carved box with exquisite workmanship is placed on the table.
He took out some tea leaves with pekoe from the box and put them into the pot. While adding water, the old man introduced himself: "I am the vice-chairman of this alchemist association. My surname is Qi and my name is Wenlin."
"It turned out to be President Qi, sorry."
"It's the vice president." After shaking the teapot, Qi Wenlin asked again: "I don't know what to call you?"
"President Qi continues to call me little friend."
Knowing that Jiang Beiran didn't want to reveal his name, Qi Wenlin didn't continue to ask. After making the tea, he poured Jiang Beiran a cup and said, "Although you are wearing a mask, my old man has many years of experience in knowing people. Even in the age of weak crown, he has such ability in the refining of elixir, it is really formidable for young people."
"President Qi is absurd, but they are all trivial tricks."
"Hahaha, it's a good thing for young people to be modest." Pouring himself another cup of tea, Qi Wenlin asked, "I don't know where my little friend has learned from?"
"The teacher is a hermit, and the disciples are not allowed to reveal his name outside, and I ask President Qi to forgive me."
"Understood, understood, come on, try this tea first, won't it taste good when it's cold?"
Jiang Beiran nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"How?" Qi Wenlin asked.
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, and replied, "It's so so."
"Pfft..."
As soon as Qi Wenlin took a sip of tea, he almost spit it all out.
"Cough." After adjusting his posture and returning to his previous temperament, Qi Wenlin said with a smile: "It seems that my little friend usually drinks good tea, but this old man is making a fool of himself."
"I'm sorry, President Qi, I'm a straightforward person. If I say something wrong later, please be generous, don't argue with me."
Qi Wenlin, who suddenly understood what Jiang Beiran meant, nodded slightly, "Little friend is also a wonderful person."
"Don't dare to be, I don't know what President Qi wants me to do?"
"Since you asked, I'll just say, have you ever joined any alchemist guild?"
"No, but I don't intend to join your club either."
Qi Wenlin, who had been choked just now, was now somewhat prepared, but he still didn't expect Jiang Beiran to refuse so decisively, even before he opened his mouth, he blocked the road.
"It's okay, let's make a friend. If you have any needs in the future, you can cooperate with our colleagues."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran said: "In one month, it will be the teacher's birthday. I want to give a big gift to the teacher. If President Qi can help me, the younger generation will be very grateful."
"It's right to show filial piety to the master. Of course, my little friend has this kind of filial piety. Of course, I will fully support it. I wonder what little friend wants to give?"
"Heavenly Luoding."
"Pfft..."
Qi Wenlin, who had just recovered a little, almost spit out another mouthful of tea.
"Tianluoding? Since you know the name of this tripod, you should know its origin, right?"
"of course I know."
A hundred years ago, there was a meteorite from outside the sky that fell on Qizhou, and was later forged into a nine-mouthed tripod by a great power, and today's Luo Ding is one of them.
Legend has it that this tripod was originally called Baoluo Ding, which means that this tripod is all-encompassing and can be smelted for everything, but later the great expert thought that Baoluo Ding was too ugly, thinking that its materials came from outside the sky, so he changed its name to Tianluo Ding.
The nine-mouth cauldron later became a treasured tripod recognized in the world of alchemists. It is rumored that using it to refine elixir will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also can refine the nine-pattern magic pill that can only be refined by this nine-mouth cauldron. The power is infinite.
"That little friend is really joking, or... Could it be that little friend knows where Luo Ding is today?"
"I don't know." Jiang Beiran shook his head.
"..."
After a while of silence, Qi Wenlin cupped his hands and said, "Then please forgive me for being helpless."
Feeling that if the topic continues to be taken away by the little friend in front of him, it will become more and more strange. This time Qi Wenlin took the lead and said: "However, if you want to talk about the furnace, there is a very good one in our trade association. If the little friend If you are interested, I can take you to see it."
"Of course that's the best." Jiang Beiran stood up immediately after speaking.
"Hehe, little friend is really impatient, okay, then let's go and have a look first."
Taking Jiang Beiran out for a walk all the way, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel that this industry will be really big, with nine twists and eighteen turns.
At last, he came to a door. Before he opened the door, Jiang Beiran knew that it was an alchemy room. The scent of the medicine was so strong that he could smell hundreds of herbs with just one sip.
Opening the door, Jiang Beiran walked in with Qi Wenlin.
"There are a lot of members in your club." Jiang Beiran glanced in and said.
"Haha, after all, we are affiliated with the Moon Sect. Many people are famous, and there are many disciples of the Moon Sect."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran followed Qi Wenlin to a small room behind the hall.
He took out the key and opened the door. Before Qi Wenlin could introduce him, Jiang Beiran's eyes were attracted by the emerald green tripod inside.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's interested expression, Qi Wenlin just watched quietly without saying a word.
Feeling the material of the lower tripod with his hands, Jiang Beiran said pleasantly: "I didn't expect that there is such a good thing as the Peacock Ding in the Guild. It really opened my eyes."
"Little friend can tell at a glance that this is a Peacock Ding, so insightful."
"Master taught me to recognize the tripod before, and I have memorized a lot."
If there are nine grades of tripod, and the tripod that Jiang Beiran uses now is grade three, then this peacock tripod is grade four. If it is used to refine medicine, the temperature in the furnace will be extremely high, and it can burn some difficult-to-purify medicinal materials into a liquid state. .
Just like the soul baby fruit.
'A windfall. '
Jiang Beiran was still planning how to get a better tripod when he went back, but he didn't expect to deliver it to his door so soon.
"Little friend, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
"It's good if you're satisfied. If you can do me a favor, little friend, I'll give you this tripod as a reward."
[Option 1: Agree to Qi Wenlin. Completion reward: Sunrise Palm (Xuan-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Ask for help. Completion Reward: Hundred Alchemy Yin (Yellow Level Top Grade)]
[Option 3: Reject directly. Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]
'Oh? here we go again. '
The reason why Jiang Beiran didn't follow the routine when talking with Qi Wenlin was because judging from the option that was triggered just now, as long as he exposed too much strength in front of President Qi, he would cause trouble.
I wanted to pretend to be an outsider to bluff him, but I didn't expect this person to push himself into the pit anyway.
However, Jiang Beiran was also a little reluctant to give up the opportunity to trade with President Qi, after all, such opportunities were too rare.
It’s not that the Peacock Ding is rare, but that it’s rare for people who can chat with themselves for a long time before triggering the option. In the past few years, as long as they talked about cooperation with him, there were basically few good people. above difficulty.
So Jiang Beiran can only let Gu Qinghuan help him "do some business" most of the time, but the younger brother has to use it sparingly. He must not be allowed to sell fourth-grade pills and top-grade weapons, otherwise no matter how clever he is, he will not be able to sell it. He couldn't escape the pursuit of masters who were a few realms stronger than him.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "No, I don't like this kind of transaction."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
'Refused again! ? '
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Beiran's potential was too great, Qi Wenlin would definitely have called the guards to throw him out.
But after thinking about Jiang Beiran's strength as a fourth-rank alchemist at a young age, coupled with his hidden master, Qi Wenlin still suppressed his anger and asked, "What kind of trading method do you like, my little friend? "
"Equivalent exchange."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he took out two bottles, one blue and one black, from the Qiankun ring, and took out an elixir with a swirling pill pattern from each of them, and showed it to Qi Wenlin in the palm of his hand.
"What do President Qi think of these two elixirs?"
Qi Wenlin took a close look, smelled it again, and finally said in surprise: "Yuchan Wan and Poxuan Pill!"
At this moment, the image of the master behind Jiang Beiran in Qi Wenlin's heart was raised a lot, because these two elixirs can only be produced by fifth-rank alchemists, and they must be very experienced ones. He really doesn't believe Jiang Beiran It can be refined at this age, so I am sure that these two pills must have been given to him by his master.
"President Qi has vision. It is these two elixir. I wonder if you are interested?"
"If you want to exchange these two elixirs for the Peacock Cauldron, I'm afraid..."
"No, how about two each of Yuchan Pill and Poxuan Pill?"
