Chapter 46: Recruiting Alchemists
"Sister, no. Nangong Minghe hurriedly explained: "He is really different from other alchemists, although he is only a third-grade alchemist, but ......" Nangong Minghe didn't know how to describe Qin Zhao for a while: "But even the patriarch can't see through his methods." ”
"Oh?" Nangong Mingji was a little interested when he heard his sister's tone.
"That's right," Nangong Minghe suddenly thought of something, took out the jade slip that recorded the "Spirit Swallowing Technique" and said: "Sister, look, this is the spiritual power exercise he gave me, I was able to advance to the second-grade alchemist so quickly Thanks to this exercise, in short, he is very powerful, there will definitely be a way." ”
"Spiritual power exercises?" Nangong Mingji had never seen spiritual power exercises, and asked with some curiosity: "Does spiritual power also have exercises?"
"Of course, I didn't believe it at first, but after I really cultivated, I realized how amazing this exercise was, and it increased the cultivation speed of my spiritual power by more than dozens of times!" Nangong Minghe was afraid that his sister would not believe it, and said in a somewhat eager voice.
“...... Okay, then you can ask him for me when you have a chance. Nangong Mingji showed a smile and agreed, this smile was not because he believed that Qin Zhao could help him treat, but because he was a little relieved to have such a sister who cared about him.
"Hmm. Nangong Minghe also smiled.
Outside the door.
A middle-aged man put down his hand that was about to knock on the door, and muttered softly: "Is there a spiritual power exercise?" It turns out that spiritual power also has exercises that can be cultivated, no wonder Minghe can break through the second-grade alchemist so quickly...... It's just that the patriarch asked me to ask......"
............
Qin Zhao had already arrived at Shu Anyi's residence.
"Why are you here again?!" Du Yi asked with a fierce look at Qin Zhao, looking very unwelcome.
"Why can't I come?" Qin Zhao asked rhetorically, "Of course I'm here to find the master." ”
Mu Zhuhan next to him showed a smile: "Master, he is refining in it." ”
"Okay, thank you. Qin Zhao nodded and ignored Du Yi and walked straight in, he knew where Shu Anyi was alchemizing.
"Senior sister, tell him what to do, he still refuses to show his true face. Du Yi in the back asked with an unhappy look, since the last time Shu Anyi said that the information Qin Zhao told them was false, Du Yi had a bad impression of him.
Mu Zhuhan shook his head and said: "These are not things we need to care about, the master has his own considerations, if he finds the master with something important, wouldn't it be delayed for us to stop him like this?"
"Hmph~" Du Yi didn't refute again, but still snorted unhappily.
And Qin Zhao soon met Shu Anyi, who was alchemizing.
Shu Anyi seemed to have just started refining the elixir at this time, and there were a lot of elixirs placed next to him.
Qin Zhao glanced at those elixirs and knew that he was refining a four-rank elixir called Dragon Tiger Pill, which could make spiritual martial artists temporarily increase their combat power, which had the same effect as Qingfeng Pill.
Shu Anyi sensed Qin Zhao's arrival, but he was concentrating on refining the elixir so he ignored it for the time being, and Qin Zhao also stood quietly and watched, without making a sound.
Shu Anyi, as a fourth-grade alchemist, is still very skilled in refining the elixir, and there is no mistake.
The refining of the four-grade elixir was undoubtedly much more complicated than the first- and second-grade elixirs that Qin Zhao had refined before, and the process of refining the elixir alone took Shu Anyi three hours.
After three hours, the refining was completed, and Shu Anyi began to prepare the melting medicine.
But something seems to have gone wrong at this point.
The elixir of the Dragon Tiger Pill can directly make the Spirit Sea Realm Spirit Martial Artist improve his combat power, and the strength of his energy naturally goes without saying, and the medicinal power of the two elixirs is still a little discordant, and Shu Anyi is already a little unable to control the medicinal power under the violent repulsion.
Seeing Shu Anyi's frowning appearance, Qin Zhao thought about it and took out an elixir from his Qiankun bag, and then the flame of the golden crow in his hand erupted, and he directly refined its elixir in his hand.
About a quarter of an hour later, Shu Anyi couldn't fuse these medicinal powers together after struggling to support them, so he had no choice but to give up, sighing lightly in his heart, it seemed that this elixir was going to be wasted.
So many four-grade elixirs are rare even for Shu Anyi, not to mention that it is difficult to buy them in this Yunyang City, so Shu Anyi is also a little distressed.
However, at this time, the elixir in Qin Zhao's hand had been quenched, and the bright red liquid the size of his fingertips was instantly flicked into the Dan furnace by him.
"Master, are you trying it now?" Qin Zhao spoke.
Shu Anyi was shocked when he heard this, and tried again.
Unexpectedly, with the elixir essence that Qin Zhao put in, the originally two mutually exclusive medicinal powers seemed to be docile, and they were fused together without any obstacles.
Shu Anyi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly increased his efforts, but ten minutes later, the pill gradually became a pill, and the sound of a dragon chanting and a tiger's roar faintly came out of the Dan furnace.
"It's done!" Shu Anyi's face was full of joy, he had been wanting to refine this Dragon and Tiger Pill for a long time, and the elixir that he had stored for so long had finally been gathered, but if there was no Qin Zhao today, I am afraid that his efforts in the past few months would have to be put to rest.
However, Shu Anyi thought about it and seemed to feel that something was wrong, what he had refined was a fourth-grade pill, wasn't his apprentice a second-grade alchemist?
If you don't understand, just ask.
"Qin Detu'er, what did you put in just now, and why can it eliminate the repulsive effect between the medicinal powers?" Shu Anyi looked at Qin Zhao and asked.
"What I put in is green glazed wood. ”
"Green glazed wood?" Shu Anyi frowned: "Green glazed wood also has the effect of eliminating the repulsion of the elixir?"
Green glazed wood is a very common three-grade elixir, and Shu Anyi often sees it, but he has never found that it still has this effect.
"That's not true, it's just that the two violent elixirs in the Dragon Tiger Pill have some soothing effect, and it won't work if you change it to other pills. Qin Zhao explained.
"You...... How do you cultivate?" Shu Anyi found that he still looked down on his apprentice who had not been accepted for a long time: "At the age of less than twenty, I actually have so many things in my head. ”
The last time Qin Zhao left, Shu Anyi thought about how to inadvertently show his strong strength, so that Qin Zhao could call himself "master" convincingly, but now it seems that it is a bit difficult......
Qin Zhao smiled and didn't answer this, but said, "I came this time to ask the master to do me a favor." ”
"I knew you weren't going to come here if you were fine. Shu Anyi changed his expression: "Say, what's the matter?"
"I would like to ask the master to help me find some alchemists in the Dan Palace. Qin Zhao said.
"Looking for an alchemist, what are you going to do?"
"Looking for an alchemist, naturally, you want to help me refine medicine. Qin Zhao said: "I have some shops, and I plan to use them to sell pills to make money, but it is definitely not enough for me to refine pills by myself, so I want to find some alchemists in the Dan Palace." ”
Qin Zhao still had twenty-eight shops that had not yet opened, so he couldn't keep them there, so Qin Zhao thought of finding some alchemists to help him refine medicine.
However, with such a scarce talent as an alchemist, it was a bit difficult for Qin Zhao to find enough alchemists on his own.
And the place with the most alchemists in Yunyang City is undoubtedly in the Dan Palace, so if you say it with Shu Anyi's reputation, it will be much easier to summon the alchemists.
Although the people of the Dan Palace are not allowed to meddle in the battles of other forces, it is no problem to help Qin Zhao refine the Dan just after receiving the reward, and the alchemists in the Dan Palace are not necessarily the people of the Dan Palace, and there are also those who only go to the Dan Palace to do business, and they can also be recruited.
It's just that Shu Anyi's expression was a little more serious when he heard Qin Zhao's words, and he hesitated a few times before he slowly spoke: "You are now in your youth, it is the golden age of cultivation, I am afraid that it is a bit of a cart before the horse to be distracted to run a shop, if you lack money and cultivation resources, I can give it to you, not to mention anything else, if you sincerely treat me as your master, you don't have to worry about the problem of cultivation resources before the Linghai Realm." ”
"Those alchemists are not as easy to find as you think, although they respect me, but after all, respect can't be eaten, when it comes to interests, they are more shrewd than anyone else, and if there are not enough benefits, don't want them to help you do things. But if you have the financial resources to invite so many alchemists, then there is no shortage of cultivation resources, so why do you want to open a shop?"
Qin Zhao was quite moved in his heart when he heard this, just like Xia Qingwu, he really cared about himself.
But Qin Zhao's business with the shop was just to make himself stronger, but the reason for it was not good to talk to Shu Anyi in detail, so he had to persuade with a smile: "Master, I naturally know these things you said, I definitely won't cut off my future for some money, I haven't been so short-sighted." ”
"I didn't just open these shops to make money, there were other reasons. ”
"What is the reason?" Shu Anyi asked.
"......" Qin Zhao couldn't make up a reason for a while, so he had to reluctantly say: "When my shop improves, you will naturally know, master, please believe me, and I will definitely not delay my cultivation because of these things." ”
Because of Shu Anyi's previous words, this master Qin Zhao shouted much more sincerely.
What Shu Anyi didn't know was that it was impossible for Qin Zhao to recognize his strength, but he inadvertently made Qin Zhao recognize him as a person.
But Shu Anyi didn't care so much at this time, instead stared at Qin Zhao, and after a few breaths, he asked in an uncertain tone, "Really won't delay cultivation?"
"Of course!" Qin Zhao replied affirmatively.
"I just don't want to see a good seedling like you delayed by other things, but since you know it in your heart, then I won't persuade you much. Shu Anyi said, "How many alchemists are you going to find?"
"About ten, it's okay to have more, it's best to be a second-grade or third-grade alchemist. Qin Zhao thought for a while and said.
"Are you sure?" Shu Anyi had a disbelieving expression: "Can you raise ten second- and third-grade alchemists, and what pay can you pay them?"
