Just looking at Shi Jiamu who fell from the sky, Jiang Beiran continued to push open the door and returned to the house.
Shi Jiamu seemed to be used to this, and followed Jiang Beiran's footsteps into the hut.
Walking to the tea table, Jiang Beiran was thinking about what tea to drink today, when he saw Shi Jiamu take out a round grass covered with frost from the Qiankun ring.
"Here, this is the reward from the leader this time, the Star Anise Black Ice Grass."
Before that, Jiang Beiran originally thought that Shi Jiamu would not change his request, but wanted the Feiyan Xuanzhu that Shi Weiyi had promised him.
But people can't escape the essence of "true fragrance".
The moment he saw the star anise Xuanbing grass, Jiang Beiran threw Feiyan Xuanzhu to the back of his mind.
Because this is the blind medicine he just lacks.
Xuanbingcao itself is a very common herb in the Xuanlong Continent, and it is used as an auxiliary medicinal material to neutralize various strong herbs.
But any herbal medicine will have different medicinal effects due to the difference in quality and age, and this is especially obvious in the black ice grass.
Every time the Black Ice Grass has one more horn, the difference in medicinal effect will increase greatly, and when there are five horns, there will be a qualitative change. Seven horns are already top-quality medicinal materials. As for the Black Ice Grass with eight horns...
Even Jiang Beiran had only heard of it in rumors.
Rumor has it that the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass will not be refined, because its function is not to make alchemy, but to prevent the furnace from being fried.
The so-called alchemists who are afraid of frying furnaces are not good alchemists.
If an alchemist has never even exploded the alchemy furnace, he would be ashamed to say hello to others when he went out.
As for why the fryer is used, the reason is also very simple.
The higher the age of the elixir, the richer the aura it contains, and the more reasonable and stable the material structure of the elixir.
The higher the upper limit of the medicinal aura that can be tolerated.
But for a pharmacist, the high upper limit of medicinal aura is a double-edged sword. If you don't control it well, you will seriously hurt yourself.
The reason is that the material of the medicinal material determines the upper limit of the medicinal aura it can carry, but the potential value of this upper limit cannot be estimated, which is more absolute than the inability of a jade refiner to estimate the potential of jade.
Because medicinal materials can only know their true potential value when they are thrown into the alchemy furnace and fired to refine, and some even fluctuate during the refining process.
Therefore, alchemists can only guess based on their own experience and vision, and estimate a rough value before refining.
Once the alchemist miscalculates the upper limit, if it is just underestimated, the effect of the elixir will be greatly reduced, but at least it can be practiced. But if the estimate is too high, then when the spirit injection is switched, the spirit energy exceeding the upper limit will cause the liquid medicine to explode!
This kind of explosion would blow the lid of the alchemy furnace up, and it would blow up the entire alchemy furnace directly, posing a fatal threat to alchemists with low cultivation.
So for Jiang Beiran, who owns one of the legendary Nine Tripods, he absolutely cannot accept things like frying furnaces.
One must know that when refining high-grade pills, the spiritual energy of those medicinal materials is so high that it is outrageous. Once an explosion occurs, even a divine cauldron like Jinwu Ding may not be able to withstand it.
Jiang Beiran found such a magic tripod with great difficulty, and he would definitely not let this happen, but the situation would be complicated.
Because if he underestimated the upper limit of medicinal materials when refining high-grade elixirs, the efficacy of the elixirs produced would most likely be inferior, especially the higher the quality.
As for the medicinal materials that Jiang Beiran obtained on Jinding Island this time, all of them are full of spiritual energy. Isn't it like playing with throwing a few of them in and blowing them up? At the same time, Jiang Beiran couldn't accept that he used such high-quality medicinal materials to refine defective products, so he was still debating whether to open the furnace for the past two days.
Unexpectedly, this time I met the pillow just after dozing off.
He was worrying about this matter, yet the Shi family gave him such a big gift.
As long as the star anise ice grass is added to the medicine cauldron, once the medicine liquid is about to explode, it will be instantly cooled by it, and it will not destroy its own material.
It is equivalent to that the star anise ice grass can not only prevent the fryer, but also give the opportunity of trial and error, it is completely one of the treasures of the alchemist.
'You really think of me as your own, so much money...'
Just as Jiang Beiran thought before, the senior members of the Shi family knew that Shi Jiamu would definitely give it to him after receiving the reward from the leader, so the prize given to Shi Jiamu was equal to being given to him.
Under this premise, they still took out the treasure of star anise ice grass as a reward, which still moved Jiang Beiran.
After taking the star anise ice grass, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "I have a heart."
Shi Jiamu, who had rarely seen such a gentle expression from his uncle, giggled, sat across the tea table and said, "I want to drink Iron Arhat!"
"Okay, the tea is here, you can drink it yourself, I have to go out."
Jiang Beiran took out Tie Luohan's tea leaves from the Qiankun ring, put them on the tea table, and left the hut straight away.
"Eh!?"
Shi Jiamu, who was sitting at the tea table and planned to be an uncle once in a while, was stunned. At that moment, she thought that the uncle had really changed his sex, but it turned out that she was still too naive.
Jiang Beiran, who left the hut, walked straight towards the inner city. He had to thank him for receiving such a big gift this time, and by the way, he also visited those who Shi Fenglan said had come to him in recent days.
At the first stop, Jiang Beiran came to Shengxian Mansion first. Since Shi Weiyi was in charge of Bixiaohui, he must have the final say on the rewards, so he was naturally the first person to thank.
After the briefing, Jiang Beiran soon met Shi Weiyi.
"Meet the sages." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands after entering the room.
Shi Weiyi, who was looking at a map, turned his head and showed a trademark smile and replied: "You are back, did the ancestors leave you on the island?"
"Sages are wise."
"The old ancestor really values you more and more." Shi Weiyi made a gesture of invitation after speaking: "Sit down."
After sitting down, Shi Weiyi took out a talisman and threw it at Jiang Beiran, saying: "I have chosen a mansion for you in Nanyuan, go over and have a look, if you are satisfied, you can live there, if you are not satisfied, I will find someone to change it for you." .”
Reaching out to take the talisman, Jiang Beiran said unexpectedly, "The mansion?"
"Of course, you are a virtuous brand hand-picked by your ancestors. It is the most basic thing to start a mansion. Besides, you have to give others a place to visit you, right?"
After listening, Jiang Beiran put the talisman aside, cupped his hands towards Shi Weiyi and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the sages, but the younger generation is used to living in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers now, and I don't want to change places for the time being."
Jiang Beiran didn't like to show his face at all, and things like opening a mansion had absolutely nothing to do with him.
It's like forcing a social phobic patient to become a diplomat.
This is not bullshit.
As if anticipating Jiang Beiran's answer, Shi Weiyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just doing business as usual, and whether you go or not is your own business, anyway, I have notified you." After finishing speaking, Shi Weiyi raised his right hand and exerted strength , and sucked the amulet that Jiang Beiran put on the table over.
"Thank you, Sage, for your understanding."
Putting away the amulet, Shi Weiyi knocked on the table and said with a smile: "Let me guess, you came this time for the star anise black ice grass?"
Seeing that Shi Weiyi was so straightforward, Jiang Beiran had nothing to hide, and nodded directly: "Yes, this star anise ice grass has helped me a lot, so I wanted to thank you as soon as I received it. .”
"Hahaha, I didn't give this star anise ice grass for nothing. My father is going to retreat recently, and I want to give him a seven-life Xuanmen pill to show my filial piety. I wonder if Beiran can refine one for me? "
[Option 1: "The juniors have low abilities, and I'm afraid they won't be able to help the sages.". Completion reward: Golden Light Charm (Earth-level Low-Rank)]
[Option 2: "Please rest assured, the sage, this matter is on me." Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]
'Um? '
Looking at the system options that popped up suddenly, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised.
'Is there really no need to hide? '
At present, Jiang Beiran only needs to show two kinds of profound arts in Linglongfang, one is jade refining, and the other is formation.
As for alchemy... Jiang Beiran has always said that he only knows a little bit.
When Shi Weiyi spoke, Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to deal with his temptation, and the system options popped up.
'Could it be that Shi Weiyi has discovered that I am good at alchemy? '
'It's possible...'
Because before going to Jinding Island this time, Jiang Bei brought a lot of medicinal materials. Although they were not high-quality goods, he could still guess that he could make alchemy. Otherwise, what would he do with these medicinal materials? Do you want to eat it? '
In addition, Shi Jiamu asked for high-quality medicinal materials when he went to ask for rewards from the leader...
'What's going on like I'm implying that Shi Weiyi is good at alchemy? Misunderstood! Misunderstood! '
But judging from the option of the system, this misunderstanding obviously cannot be solved. Shi Weiyi now obviously feels that he is showing favor to him and the Shi family, and has also actively exposed some of his abilities, which means to continue to deepen cooperation.
If he suddenly turned his face and refused to admit it at this time, it would be a bit of a slap in the face to Shi Weiyi.
'…'
'Misunderstand! What a misunderstanding! '
However, since the misunderstanding has already occurred, the system also indicated that the misunderstanding is not a big problem, so Jiang Beiran chose the second queen and said: "Please don't worry, the sage, this matter is on the younger generation."
[Optional task completed, reward: Constitution +1]
Shi Weiyi was really happy after hearing this. After all, he had only guessed before that Jiang Beiran seemed to be implying that he was good at alchemy, but it was just a guess.
But this time Jiang Beiran agreed to help him refine the Qiming Xuanmen Pill, which is considered to be a full admission.
You must know that Qiming Xuanmen Pill is a middle-grade panacea of Xuan level. Since Jiang Beiran clearly stated that he can practice even this level of elixir, it naturally means that he also has a high level of attainment in alchemy.
'It's really an inexhaustible treasure...'
Seeing Shi Weiyi's expression on his face as expected, Jiang Beiran knew that his guess was right.
'Well, now the relationship with the Shi family is getting closer. '
Just as Lingshi's rating in Sheng Country is completely different from that in Six Nations, Lingdan's rating is also different.
The ninth-rank panacea that can be ranked at the top in Shengguo is at most a yellow-rank low-rank in the Six Kingdoms.
It can be regarded as barely stepping into the field of high-grade good pills.
But if one wants to become an eighth-rank alchemy master respected by everyone in the Six Kingdoms, being able to refine mysterious-level pills is the most basic ability.
So Jiang Beiran's agreement this time is directly tantamount to admitting that his level of alchemy is starting from an eighth-rank alchemist.
This is a whole level higher than the pharmacist who sits in Yunling Pavilion in Linglongfang.
Then even the Shi family can only recruit seventh-grade alchemists to sit in the town at most, which is enough to show the scarcity of high-grade alchemists in the six countries.
"The Shi family chose to cooperate with me instead of being forceful. It seems that I was indeed bluffed..."
Formation, jade refining, alchemy.
As long as one of these three profound arts reaches the level of Jiang Beiran, it is enough for the Shi family to use means to forcibly recruit it, and then use both soft and hard methods to completely control it.
It can be seen that the reason why the Shi family didn't come hard on Jiang Beiran was because they believed that his master was a peerless master, or that there was a hidden master behind him.
Of course, it is not so easy to fool a Profound Sage.
Jiang Beiran believed that the reason why he could do this was two things.
One is his calmness when facing the Profound Sage, and the other is that his ability is indeed beyond Shi Hongyun's comprehension.
Even with Shi Hongyun's knowledge, it was unheard of for a young man like Jiang Beiran who could reach the peak of two extremely difficult profound arts, which made him have to believe that Jiang Beiran came from a certain hermit sect.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain it.
"Hohohoho, Beiran is really happy, then I will thank you on behalf of my father first. Of course, I will provide all the materials needed to refine the Qiming Xuanmen Pill." After speaking, Shi Weiyi took out a piece of silver His waist card used Xuan Qi to cross to Jiang Beiran and said: "Just take this waist card and go to the warehouse to get it."
After receiving the token, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "It will take a lot of time to refine the Qiming Xuanmen Pill, so this junior will go to open the furnace to refine the alchemy, and please wait patiently."
"Okay, then I'll wait here for the good news."
"Farewell." Jiang Beiran put away his badge and left Shi Weiyi's room.
With the sound of closing the door, Shi Weiyi touched a Qiankun ring worn on his ring finger.
"What a scary kid... He is good at formations and alchemy, but he has no cultivation. What kind of place can cultivate such strange talents..."
Shi Weiyi's curiosity about Jiang Beiran can be said to be getting stronger and stronger, but his ancestor had ordered him not to continue to test and investigate Jiang Beiran a few days ago, so he could only suppress his curiosity first.
Looking back at the map hanging on the wall, Shi Weiyi couldn't help talking to himself.
"The appearance of such strange talents...does it indicate that there will be some major changes in the Xuanlong Continent..."
After leaving Shengxian's mansion, Jiang Beiran went to visit several other people who Shi Fenglan said had come to see him. After talking with him, he found that these people had nothing to do with him, they just greeted him and got familiar with him.
After a little thought, Jiang Beiran understood that he had not only integrated into the Shi family, but could also be regarded as a "popular man" in front of their clan saints, and he definitely needed to get acquainted.
"After keeping a low profile for so long, I became a celebrity in the Shi family..."
'No, I have to go! '
