It's just that in the early morning, the market is a bustling and noisy scene, there are disciples of the sect looking for their favorite things, and more are the mountain farmers around the sect, who will pick the medicinal herbs and rare treasures and sell them.

The Gathering Elixir is one of the most common elixirs in the cultivation world.

High-level monks use it to replenish spiritual power when fighting, but for monks below the foundation building period, the Gathering Spirit Pill has the effect of improving cultivation and is regarded as a treasure.

Because of this, the materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill are not easy to find, after all, they are things from the cultivation world, and it is difficult for farmers in the countryside to pick these materials, Xu Jiangtao walked all over the east and west sides of the market, but he did not find the medicinal materials he needed.

Immediately, he set his sights on the six-story treasure pavilion in the center of the bazaar, which was where the elixir pavilion of the sect was located. But in Xu Jiangtao's eyes, it looked a little rough.

Xu Jiangtao stepped into the hall on the first floor of the Elixir Pavilion, where many monks were buying pills and medicinal materials, accompanied by the guys in the store.

But at this time, no one paid attention to Xu Jiangtao, just because the clothes on his body were too obvious, and everyone knew that it was the costume of a disciple of the trial hall.

In this regard, Xu Jiangtao did not lose his temper, and took the initiative to come to the counter and ask: "Please show me, do you have any goods in your pavilion for these medicinal materials?"

The guy at the counter was a young girl, who took Jiang Hao's prescription and looked at it carefully, and it took a long time to check the bill of goods and confirm the result.

In fact, this girl is a newcomer to the Elixir Pavilion, otherwise in exchange for any other person, only after receiving the prescription, she will immediately recognize that this is what is needed to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill. The elixir is a standing elixir. Refining materials, how could the Elixir Pavilion be out of stock?

"Yes, how much do you need?" the girl smiled faintly, and did not express disdain because of Xu Jiangtao's dress.

Xu Jiangtao checked his spirit stone bag, and hesitated in his heart. I didn't know if the money was enough to buy a material, so I could only say, "You can calculate the price of a medicinal material for me first, I have to see if the spirit stones I bring are enough." ”

The girl was slightly stunned, and a hint of ridicule appeared in her eyebrows, as if she was laughing at Xu Jiangtao for not having money to buy things.

However, there was kindness in it, she just laughed it off and began to calculate for Xu Jiangtao.

Soon, the results came out: "A total of one hundred and thirteen spirit stones, are you enough?"

Xu Jiangtao looked at the girl's expression and was slightly embarrassed: "It's really not enough, can you take credit?"

When he asked this, Xu Jiangtao regretted it a little. He also thought that he was Xu Zhenren, who was admired by thousands of people in his previous life, and went to the major treasure pavilions and auction houses to pay credit, and the pavilion owner would treat him with courtesy, and he couldn't wait to paste it upside down.

But now, he is just a disciple of the trial hall who has not yet built a foundation.

The girl was also shocked by Xu Jiangtao, and smiled bitterly: "Definitely not, otherwise...... I'm going to help you ask?"

Xu Jiangtao hurriedly waved her hand to stop, this girl is also a low-level guy, so don't be embarrassed for her.

However, just as Xu Jiangtao was about to leave, he found that there was a notice posted on the door of the exit, he just glanced at it, and he was happy in his heart, and immediately turned his head and asked-

"The Elixir Pavilion is recruiting alchemists?"

"It's not an alchemist, it's an alchemist, and if you qualify, you can become an assistant to the alchemist. As she spoke, there was a hint of surprise in the girl's eyes: "Do you know how to refine medicine?" If you can, you can give it a try, become an alchemist, and buy medicinal herbs at half price. ”

Half?!

As soon as he heard this, Xu Jiangtao was overjoyed in his heart, no matter what kind of alchemist or alchemist he was, he would inevitably be caught.

"I'm willing to give it a try. ”

But at this moment, a guy at the counter next to him suddenly spoke: "Just you, a disciple of the Trial Learning Hall, and you still want to be an alchemist? How many medicinal materials do you recognize?"

As soon as this person opened his mouth, he made a disrespectful speech, which caused Xu Jiangtao to frown: "The alchemist still has a requirement for identity? ”

"Hubris. The guy couldn't say anything about Xu Jiangtao, so he could only snort coldly.

The girl answered at this time, not wanting them to quarrel any longer, and immediately said: "There is no identity requirement, but it has to go through a test, if you want to do it, come with me to the backyard." ”

With that, the girl walked out of the counter and took Xu Jiangtao to the backyard of Lingbao Pavilion.

In this regard, the guy looked disdainful, and happened to meet the shopkeeper downstairs, he hurriedly came up and said: "Shopkeeper, the new guy has brought a disciple of the trial hall to apply for the alchemist, I want to stop it, but people don't listen at all, you go and take care of it." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped: "The disciples of the Trial School Hall are recruiting alchemists? Isn't this nonsense?

The shopkeeper waved his long sleeves and went to the backyard a little angrily, but when he arrived, there was already a teenager sitting in front of the only remaining fire-control array, wearing the robe of the trial hall.

The girl was still watching from the sidelines, and she didn't notice the shopkeeper coming, until the shopkeeper spoke, and she was startled: "Nonsense, let a disciple of the trial hall apply for the alchemist, it is in vain." ”

"If he doesn't succeed and eventually destroys the medicinal herbs, I will deduct them from your monthly salary. ”

The girl trembled and did not dare to speak, at this moment, she only hoped that the young man would succeed and exempt her from punishment.

How could the shopkeeper not see through the girl's expression, and sneered in his heart, but he also stopped and wanted to take a second look.

In the entire backyard, there are a total of ten fire control arrays, nine of which already have masters, who are the new alchemists of the Lingbao Pavilion and refining low-grade pills for the pavilion.

The remaining fire control array was used by Jiang Hao for assessment.

Before the fire control array.

Xu Jiangtao drove the formation and ignited the flames, but the moment the fire started, the fire suddenly surged, if it was not for the enchantment obstruction, the fire would inevitably overflow.

Just at this glance, the shopkeeper concluded the result: "Hmph, I can't even master the simplest fire control array, and I still want to apply for the alchemist of my elixir pavilion?"

"What kind of pig head do you look like, and you let a disciple of the trial hall come to apply?"

"Not only will this month's monthly salary be deducted, but the cleaning tasks in the backyard will also be handed over to you, and I will find another person to take care of the front counter. ”

With that, the shopkeeper glared at the girl and threw away his sleeves.

The girl was completely terrified, she was able to enter the Elixir Pavilion to do things, thanks to the family's gift and flattery. A two-hundred-year-old ginseng was paid in this way, and I originally thought that I would be able to invest my family's efforts in a few months, earn it back, and improve my life.

But who would have thought, now that he can't even do counter work, he is degraded to a sweeper, and his monthly income will inevitably drop significantly.

The girl's tears couldn't help but overflow her eyes, and she looked at the backyard of Nuoda, where countless residues produced after refining medicine were waiting for her to clean up, and a powerless sourness jumped into her heart.

Xu Jiangtao didn't notice this scene at all, because he had been paying attention to the situation of the fire control array.

"How can the elixir pavilion of a sect and the fire control array arranged be so crude?"

"Falling to the ground is teasing me, isn't it?"

Xu Jiangtao smiled dumbly, this kind of fire control array can't bear his precise control at all, otherwise the fire will not be sudden and violent.

Without saying a word, Xu Jiangtao could only take out his spirit stone bag and take out the spirit stone from it: "I thought that there was no cost to apply, but now it's okay, I have to pay out of my own pocket to improve the formation, and this elixir pavilion has taken a big advantage of me." ”

At this time.

Xu Jiangtao made a sudden move, his fingers were smart, and he drew a formation on the fire control array, and more than a dozen spirit stones were re-injected into the fire control array by him, replacing the core, and carving esoteric French in the array that only he could understand.

At this moment, the entire fire control array took on a new look, becoming simple and profound, as if it contained a mystery.

When he struck again, the originally red flame suddenly burst out with a trace of cyan flame, which seemed restrained, but in fact the temperature was extremely terrifying.

However, no one else noticed such a scene......

......

Elixir Pavilion, antechamber.

The shopkeeper was still distressed about the medicinal herbs that were about to be discarded, and at this moment, an old man in a gorgeous robe came in the door.

The old man looked at the shopkeeper's absent-minded appearance, and wondered in his heart: "The shopkeeper, why is there no owner?"

The shopkeeper was startled by this voice, raised his eyes to look at the person, and hurriedly bowed down: "Master Hu, why are you here?"

The old man smiled: "You have a ghost in your heart, I have been here for a long time, and I haven't seen you find out." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained with a wry smile: "How dare the villain snub Master Hu, it's just ...... Alas, today's guys have done something wrong, and I'm feeling distressed!"

"What's going on?"

Seeing the old man asking, the shopkeeper had to say truthfully: "Our elixir pavilion still lacks an alchemist, and it just so happened that I was not there, and a new guy under my hand went to apply for the recruitment with a disciple of the trial hall. ”

"I estimate that those test herbs are probably going to be wasted. ”

"The disciples of the trial hall are coming to apply for alchemists?" The old man also felt incredible, frowning slightly: "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

The two came to the backyard, and the shopkeeper pointed in the direction of Jiang Hao, and was about to open a voice to testify.

But at this moment, the shopkeeper's gaze suddenly froze.

I saw that in the fire control array, those medicinal materials that he thought were about to be wasted were completely quenched into liquid medicine by the flames, and the liquid had a little brilliance from time to time, flipped and converged in the array, and gradually began to take shape.

As the treasurer of the Elixir Pavilion, he could naturally recognize that the liquid medicine was tumbling, which was Cheng Dan's first step. As long as this step is completed, it is almost predictable that Dancheng will occur, and failure will rarely occur.

The old man also happened to see this scene, and he didn't expect that a disciple of the trial hall would be able to do this.

Just when the old man wanted to open his mouth to admire, a scene that no one expected happened.

I saw that the young man actually took out the medicinal liquid, gathered the palm of his hand to levitate, and the flames that had been extinguished were urged by him again, and suddenly burst into flames, and began to jump in the fire control array.

Just when the two of them didn't know why, the boy actually threw the liquid medicine directly into the flames!!

The expressions on the faces of the old man and the shopkeeper suddenly changed-

What is he going to do? Incinerate the liquid?!
