"Senior Brother Hao, I'm really not sure that I can refine the Qi Pill. You'd better find someone else." Xu Shangao said with a grimace.
The young man in red robe, Hao Rulong, snorted and said in a cold tone: "I will look for you today, and I will leave it here. In three days, I will come to get the elixir. If I can't refine it, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, Hao Rulong turned around and left without even looking at Fang Lin.
After Hao Rulong left, Xu Shangao looked more and more depressed. Seeing Fang Lin, he could only smile reluctantly.
Fang Lin asked: "What's going on? Who was that person just now?"
Xu Shangao said: "It's Hao Rulong, an official disciple of Wuzong. He came to me to refine a furnace of Qi Pill for him, but I can't refine it. This is obviously making things difficult for me."
Fang Lin thoughtfully nodded and said, "So he is an official disciple of Wuzong. No wonder his eyes are higher than his head."
Xu Shangao sighed and said: "The formal disciples of Wuzong often come to us, formal disciples, to make elixirs for them. This is originally a good thing, but in the past few years since I became an official disciple, I have only made elixirs for Wuzong disciples twice. And they are all relatively low-level elixirs, so there is no difficulty, but Hao Rulong wants me to refine the Smooth Qi Pill, which is obviously to embarrass me."
After Xu Shangao's detailed explanation, Fang Lin also understood that the official disciples of Wuzong often came to the formal disciples of Danzong to make alchemy. Of course, they also needed to pay some remuneration to the disciples of Danzong. This kind of transaction-like behavior did not exist in Danzong and Wuzong. It has become a tradition.
The more alchemy commissions you accept, the greater your reputation in the Alchemy Sect will be. However, to make alchemy for the disciples of the Wuzong, you must have solid alchemy skills. Low-level disciples like Xu Shangao can refine some simple alchemy pills. The elixirs were okay. For example, the Shunqi Dan was a good elixir that was close to a first-grade elixir. He didn't have the ability to refine it.
However, Hao Rulong wanted Xu Shangao to refine the Shun Qi Pill for him. This was obviously with the intention of making things difficult. When Xu Shangao could not refine the Shun Qi Pill in three days, Hao Rulong could make a big announcement. The official disciples will look down on him, and he will be looked down upon by the official disciples of Wuzong. Even if Xu Shan improves his level in the future, no one will come to him to make alchemy.
Fang Lin looked at Xu Shangao strangely and said, "Senior brother, have you offended someone?"
Xu Shangao was startled, and then he thought of a person, and said with an angry look on his face: "It must be Lin Xu! He lost to me in a gambling match that day, and he must have a grudge. He must have invited Hao Rulong to embarrass me. You just want to embarrass me!"
Fang Lin nodded, then smiled and said, "How will Senior Brother Xu deal with it?"
When Xu Shangao heard this, he was dejected again and said: "What else can I do? I can't refine the Shunqi Pill now. I will only be humiliated by others."
Fang Lin curled his lips and said, "Senior Brother Xu doesn't even look at who I am, will you be humiliated?"
When Xu Shangao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he grabbed Fang Lin's shoulders with both hands, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw.
"Junior Brother Fang, you can refine the Smooth Qi Pill, please help me, Senior Brother." Xu Shangao begged.
Fang Lin chuckled and said, "Don't I still have three Qi Pills that I gave to Senior Brother Xu? Can you just take them out and give them to Hao Rulong then?"
Xu Shangao looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I have eaten one of the three pills, and the remaining two pills are not enough to count."
After saying that, Xu Shangao looked at Fang Lin pitifully and begged: "Junior brother Fang, my good junior brother, for the sake of me being so pitiful, please help me refine another furnace of Shunqi Pill. Senior Brother, I I will never treat you badly."
Fang Lin slapped Xu Shangao's hand away angrily and curled his lips and said, "No one else asked me to make elixirs. They asked me to make elixirs. They asked me to make alchemy. You should make it yourself."
Xu Shangao was about to cry and said: "But I can't practice it. Junior brother, just do it. For the sake of our fellow brothers in need, help senior brother again."
Seeing Xu Shangao's pitiful look, Fang Lin stopped teasing him and said, "Of course I can help you, but I will leave in six months. What if someone comes to embarrass you again? I will help you this time, but you must also work hard to study the art of alchemy, and I will try to help you improve within six months."
Hearing this, Xu Shangao was overjoyed and thanked Fang Lin profusely.
Fang Lin waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you can become a disciple."
Xu Shangao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head with an extremely wonderful expression.
Fang Lin looked solemn, without the slightest hint of joking.
"Junior brother Fang, what did you say?" Xu Shangao thought he had misunderstood and asked cautiously.
"Apprenticeship." Fang Lin said briefly and forcefully.
Xu Shangao looked strange and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to become a disciple, right? I am also your senior brother after all."
Fang Lin glanced at Xu Shangao, said nothing, walked directly into the alchemy room, and locked Xu Shangao outside.
Xu Shangao waited anxiously for two hours when he saw Fang Lin pushing open the door and walking out, holding a jade bottle in his hand, and threw it into Xu Shangao's hand.
"I have already made the elixir for you. You can figure it out yourself. I will leave in six months. It's all up to you." Fang Lin finished lazily and returned to his room.
Xu Shangao stared blankly at the jade bottle in his hand. He subconsciously opened the cork and saw eight round elixirs inside the bottle, exuding a delicate fragrance.
Xu Shangao capped the bottle, hesitating in his heart. After a moment, Xu Shangao gritted his teeth and came outside Fang Lin's door.
"Disciple Xu Shangao, meet the master!" Xu Shangao said solemnly, and then knelt in front of Fang Lin's door.
Fang Lin opened the door and saw Xu Shangao kneeling with a serious face. He grinned and said, "Senior brother, why are you so serious? I was just joking."
“···”
Xu Shangao almost jumped up from the ground. Are you kidding like this? I'm mentally prepared, but you're joking even though I'm on my knees
Seeing Xu Shangao's cannibalistic expression, Fang Lin knew that he must be extremely depressed. He waved his hand and a jade slip fell into Xu Shangao's hand.
"This is the alchemy experience given to me by Elder Mu Yan. I have no use for it, so I gave it to you, senior brother. I hope that senior brother will benefit from it," Fang Lin said.
After thinking about it, Fang Lin took out another book and handed it to Xu Shangao, saying, "This is what the old guy Zhao Dengming lost to me during the alchemy class today, and I also gave it to my senior brother."
Xu Shangao held a jade slip in one hand and an ancient book in the other, with a very wonderful expression.
"This, this, how can I want this?" Xu Shangao shook his head and said.
Fang Lin smiled and said: "Senior brother, please don't refuse. These things are of no use to me, but senior brother is very useful. After all, I can only stay here for six months. With these two things, senior brother can make an impact if he wants." A middle-level disciple.”
When Xu Shangao heard this, he stopped refusing and put away the two things with excitement.
As a disciple like Xu Shangao, he was not qualified to enter the Alchemy Pavilion to read those alchemy books, let alone get the alchemy experience from an elder. Fang Lin's two gifts were a great gift to Xu Shangao. As heavy as Mount Tai.
"Junior brother, you are really my lucky star!" After Xu Shangao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to return to the alchemy room to study the art of alchemy.
Fang Lin closed the door, locked it, and prepared to take the Shunqi Pill to raise his realm to the third level of Human Yuan.
Although in the Alchemy Sect, alchemy is the most important thing, but the realm cannot be ignored. Only when the realm is reached, can you have the confidence to do anything.
Among the disciples of Dantong, the cultivation level of the second level of Human Yuan is considered very poor. Dantong leaders such as Kang Lu are rumored to have reached the sixth level of Human Yuan. However, only Kang Lu himself and Few people know.
Even Lu Xiaoqing is at the fourth level of Human Yuan. Because Fang Lin is at a low level, Lu Xiaoqing often makes fun of him.
"Three qi-nourishing pills should be able to upgrade to the third level of human Yuan. However, when I practice Jiuding Tongtian Jue, I have to swallow the pills to improve my level, which is more troublesome." Fang Lin thought to himself while practicing.
The Qi-nourishing pill turned into a clear stream and flowed rapidly through Fang Lin's body, making Fang Lin feel very comfortable.
"Oh, this feeling of starting from scratch is really not good. If I were still in the Alchemy Palace, just two pills would make my realm advance by leaps and bounds." Fang Lin sighed in his heart, recalling the memories in the Alchemy Palace in his mind. Every bit of the palace.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Fang Lin was still practicing in the house, but Hao Rulong, who had been here three days ago, came early in the morning.
"Xu Shangao, have you refined the Smooth Qi Pill I want?" Hao Rulong said indifferently.
Hao Rulong is a disciple of the Wuzong, and he is not weak among the disciples of the Wuzong, so he naturally looks down on low-level Danzong disciples like Xu Shangao.
If it weren't for Lin Xu Xu's huge profits, he, Hao Rulong, wouldn't have come to make things difficult for Xu Shangao.
"Xu Shangao, Xu Shangao, you have offended Lin Xu. He came to me, so you can't blame me." Hao Rulong sneered in his heart, as if he expected that Xu Shangao would not be able to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shan was so calm and calm that he directly took out a bottle of elixir without saying a word.
"The elixir is here, Senior Brother Hao needs to pick it up." Xu Shangao said with a smile.
Hao Rulong looked startled and took the elixir with some suspicion. He opened it and saw that it was indeed a bottle of Qi-nourishing elixir.
"It's really weird. According to what Lin Xu said, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Shangao to refine Qi-nourishing pills, but what's going on with this bottle of pills? Could it be that Xu Shangao is hiding something secretly?" Hao Rulong was a little surprised. The words he thought of were completely useless, and his face looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Hao? Could it be that he's not satisfied with the elixir?" Xu Shangao said deliberately.
Hao Rulong snorted, took the elixir and turned around to leave.
"What? Brother Hao, won't you pay me?" Xu Shangao called out to Hao Rulong.
Hao Rulong turned around and glared at Xu Shangao, and said with some embarrassment: "I forgot to bring it with me today. I'll make it up for you tomorrow."
