Jiang Qiuming came to half a meter beside the thin young man, did not touch the railing, did not shake hands with the other party, and simply stood straight.

"Jiang Qiuming has seen the girl!"

is a very simple opening remark, explaining the identity of his Jiang family.

The girl ignored it, still looking into the distance.

"Why are you wearing men's clothes?" Jiang Qiuming didn't care, and then he asked.

"Women's clothes are only for those I like!" the girl did not turn her head, but replied lightly. Her voice is very good, like a breeze, which makes her even more charming.

"Tenth marriage, this is really unfair to your Xue family!" Jiang Qiuming said.

"Then why don't you lift it!" the girl turned sharply, with anger in her eyes.

The girl is none other than Xue Xiuyu, she was indeed arrested by the Jiang family. This kind of forced marriage will make anyone unhappy, so she has a lot of opinions about the Jiang family, and she doesn't like these sons and brothers who come here.

However, when she saw Jiang Qiuming's eyes, she was surprised for a moment. It was a clean look she had never seen before, so clear that it was impossible to get sick of it. His standing posture is straight, like a sword, and his hands naturally droop down, appearing clean and neat.

"The tenth marriage is a promise that must be kept!" Jiang Qiuming's explanation was very simple, so simple that Xue Xiuyu couldn't refute it.

It is often said that the hatred of the previous life should not be borne by the younger generations. What about the promises made in the previous life, and should the younger generations keep them?

You should abide by it!

Xue Xiuyu showed a frustrated and unwilling look.

"Compliance is compliance, but there is still a solution to the problem!" Jiang Qiuming said.

Xue Xiuyu's eyes widened, she didn't speak, but Jiang Qiuming knew what she wanted to ask.

"I want to participate in the pharmacist competition!" Jiang Qiuming gave his own answer.

"And marry me then?" Xue Xiuyu showed a mocking expression. If that's the solution, she doesn't. can't marry the person you like, is there a difference between Zhang San and Li Si?

Although the Jiang Qiuming in front of him is more special, and it can even be said to be very attractive, but so what?

Jiang Qiuming smiled, but didn't say anything more, he left directly.

A few days later, the two met again, but this time it was Xue Xiuyu who invited them.

In the living room, Jiang Qiuming and Xue Xiuyu sat opposite each other, Xue Xiuyu made tea, but Jiang Qiuming sat straight, put his hands on his knees, did not stretch out his hand, and did not drink tea.

Xue Xiuyu was still wearing men's clothes, her expression was not surprised, she asked directly to the point, "Why do you want to participate in the pharmacist competition?"

Jiang Qiuming showed a faint smile on his face, it seems that in the past few days, the other party has learned some information, at least he knows a little more about himself, otherwise he would not ask like this.

"You think I won't do this for you?" Jiang Qiuming asked rhetorically.

Xue Xiuyu shook her head.

"Actually, I participated in the Pharmacist Contest just for you!" Jiang Qiuming affirmed.

"Why?" Xue Xiuyu was puzzled.

"Let's play a game of chess!" Jiang Qiuming said suddenly.

Chess is Go, naturally Jiang Qiuming brought it himself, and he does not touch the chess pieces used by others.

Xue Xiuyu didn't know what Jiang Qiuming was selling, but she could only accompany him to play chess first.

The two played quickly, and the game entered the middle game after a while. At this time, the two fell into a frantic fight in order to compete for the corner territory, all kinds of tendons, dead and alive, entering, and encroaching. However, Jiang Qiuming's chess skills are obviously more superb, and while fighting in the corner, he can even find time to drop a few key moves in some positions in the middle of the abdomen, laying a huge advantage.

"Being a man and playing chess, entangled in small corners will lose the overall situation!" Jiang Qiuming said in a timely manner. When he said this, he naturally referred to Xue Xiuyu's marriage, did he only care about his personal feelings, or did he take care of the overall situation of the family?

Xue Xiuyu didn't care, and continued to fight in the corner, "I'm a little girl, how can I have any concept of the overall situation!"

Jiang Qiuming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it.

The chess game continued, Jiang Qiuming's advantage was getting bigger and bigger, and Xue Xiuyu basically had no hope of turning the tables.

"You're going to lose!" Jiang Qiuming said.

"That's not necessarily!" Xue Xiuyu looked like she was holding a wisdom bead.

"How?"

"That's it!"

Xue Xiuyu actually directly removed one of Jiang Qiuming's chess pieces, and then replaced them with his own chess pieces, and the situation of the chess game changed suddenly.

"Is this okay?" Jiang Qiuming was stunned.

"Chess, it's not just two people who can play, if there is an external force involved, the situation will naturally be different!" Xue Xiuyu's eyes were staring at Jiang Qiuming when she said this.

Jiang Qiuming smiled, he looked good when he smiled. He found that the woman in front of him was very smart, so smart that he could guess the answer with a few clues.

"But even then, you don't necessarily win. After all, the gap is too obvious, and this kind of illegal behavior is very dangerous!" Jiang Qiuming looked at the chessboard and said, although there were external forces, the situation was still on his side. Of course, his words were not in chess, but he meant something else, and he knew that Xue Xiuyu could understand.

"I know, but the external force is not something I can control, what should come will definitely come, right?" Xue Xiuyu was asking, and she was also confirming the answer.

"Yes!" Jiang Qiuming gave a very clear answer.

Hearing this answer, Xue Xiuyu was both happy and worried. Even if he was wearing men's clothes, Jiang Qiuming could still see the shyness in it. Suddenly, an inexplicable envy and sourness appeared in Jiang Qiuming's heart, which really startled him.

"Danger is danger, but it's not without chance!" Jiang Qiuming dropped the last piece on the chessboard, and then got up and left.

He needs to be quiet!

Xue Xiuyu looked at the chessboard, her eyes a little dazed. Jiang Qiuming's last son can be called the biggest failure in history, it directly buried all its advantages, and the situation completely fell to Xue Xiuyu's side.

When she came back to her senses, she could only see the back of Jiang Qiuming's departure, which was very straight. At this moment, she suddenly felt that this back was still quite attractive.

After this, Jiang Qiuming officially announced that he would participate in the pharmacist competition!

......

In the Rising Sun City, Lan Qian's ascetic life was interrupted.

"Confused, who taught you how to refine medicine? Is this how you practice martial arts? Why don't you see you performing martial arts there every day? Alchemy is an art, and you can't become a master by moving bricks and walls every day......

The medicine slave's shouts kept ringing in the medicine refining room, and Lan Qian lowered his head, unable to answer a word. In fact, he didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong.

Outside the alchemy pharmacy, Bu Lanyan snickered there.

As the medicine slave's mood calmed down and the explanation unfolded, Lan Qian gradually understood what he was wrong.

The first is the issue of perception. For junior and intermediate pharmacists, the value of elixir is relatively low and the amount is large, and it is tolerable that pharmacists can squander like Lan Qian. However, high-grade elixirs are not good. For a martial artist or this world, every high-grade elixir is precious and should not be wasted like that. This is a pharmacist view, just like the life concept of not killing people at will.

The second is the issue of methodology. The birth of a famous general must be based on the corpses of thousands of soldiers, but this does not mean that you can become a generation of famous generals by carrying a sword and slaughtering a city. The same is true for pharmacists. A master-level pharmacist must have consumed countless elixirs, but every time he refines a medicine, it must have its meaning, and he will not squander it at will like Lan Qian.

Finally, there is the issue of alchemy. Alchemy is not just as simple as controlling fire and refining medicine, it is learned. The first time he got the prescription, what the pharmacist had to do was not to prepare the formula elixir, but to think about why this elixir was refined like this, what was its pharmacology, and whether it could be improved?

Only by understanding the prescription can the pharmacist be able to refine this elixir.

In addition, the completion of the refining of the elixir does not mean that the refining of the elixir is over. A real pharmacist, he will taste the medicine after the refining of the elixir, analyze the efficacy of the medicine, and summarize the gains and losses in his refining.

Pharmacology, medicine refining, and drug tasting, all three steps can be considered as truly completing a medicine refining, but what Lan Qian has been doing is only pure medicine refining, missing the two key steps before and after.

"Senior Medicine Slave, I was wrong!" Lan Qian bowed his head and apologized.

Under the guidance of the medicine slave, Lan Qian resumed refining medicine. With the new method of refining medicine, Lan Qian only practiced medicine twice a day, and spent the rest of his time thinking and tasting medicine.

Although the number of refining pills has decreased a lot, Lan Qian's growth is more obvious than before, and it is an all-round improvement. The pharmacology is clearer, he understands the differences between different systems, the success rate of refining medicine is higher, and his understanding of techniques is more profound.

"Yes, yes, this is like a real pharmacist!" the medicine slave was satisfied.

"I should be considered a qualified high-grade pharmacist by now, right?" Lan Qian asked cautiously.

"The young master is obviously a high-grade pharmacist, and he is stronger than other ordinary pharmacists!"

"Then do I have any hope of winning the first place in the Medicine Master Competition?" Lan Qian looked forward to the Medicine Slave's answer.

"It's difficult!" the medicine slave directly extinguished Lan Qian's hopes, "Let's not mention that you have only been studying medicine refining for a short time, even if you are now very proficient in refining high-grade low-grade elixirs, it will still be difficult for you to win the first place in the pharmacist competition." ”

"Why?"

"According to past experience, to win the first place in the Pharmacist Competition, you need to have at least the strength to refine high-grade mid-grade elixir!"

"Isn't it true that senior mid-grade pharmacists can't participate in the pharmacist competition?" Lan Qian had carefully read the announcement, which stated that only mid-level high-grade pharmacists and senior low-grade pharmacists could participate.

"Some high-grade pharmacists are able to refine high-grade and medium-grade elixirs!" the medicine slave explained.

"Isn't being a high-grade mid-grade pharmacist who can refine a high-grade mid-grade elixir?" Lan Qian was puzzled.

"No!" the medicine slave shook his head.

After the medicine slave's explanation, Lan Qian figured out the exact division among the different ranks of senior pharmacists.

For pharmacists, reaching the level of a high-grade pharmacist can be called a house, and a pharmacist of this level will be respected wherever he goes, and he can be regarded as a person.

However, from the high-grade pharmacist upwards, each level is very difficult. Taking a high-grade mid-grade pharmacist as an example, not all flame powers reaching the high-grade mid-grade level can refine a high-grade mid-grade elixir. And a high-grade lower-grade pharmacist who can refine a high-grade mid-grade elixir cannot be called a high-grade mid-grade pharmacist, because the number of high-grade mid-grade elixirs they can refine is very limited.

What kind of pharmacist is qualified to be called a high-grade mid-grade pharmacist? There must be two conditions at the same time, one is that the flame power reaches the high-grade mid-grade level, and the other is that he can refine high-grade mid-grade elixirs, and he can't do without either!
