In a world of cultivation with the name of majestic true cultivation, there is a Southern Empire named Zhu Yan. There is a city called Chu City in the Southern Empire called Zhu Yan, this Chu City can only be regarded as a medium-sized city, but it is quite prosperous in all aspects, and the garrison is only guarded by a thousand soldiers of the Zhu Yan Empire, but the security here is surprisingly good. The wide streets are spotless, and the floors of all the main roads are paved with the blue-red granite stone characteristic of the Zhuyan Empire, which is not only beautiful but also durable, even if it has been used in traffic for hundreds of years.

The time has come to evening, the setting sun has left a gorgeous sunset on the horizon, and Chu City has become more and more comfortable, and after a busy day, people have begun to enter the time to rest. Dark night is a time for many people to rest, but it is a busy time for various entertainment venues suitable for the evening. Many nightclubs and night markets have also become lively.

Zhurong Alchemy Shop is one of the most famous alchemy shops in Chu City, located on the side of the most prosperous central avenue in Chu City. Its tall, circular three-storey building is not its biggest selling point, but the most attractive thing is that the elixirs in this alchemy shop are all refined on site.

In the rules of this world, alchemists play a unique trick when refining pills, and sometimes they are more eye-catching than simply refining pills. In the alchemy world, the tricks performed by the alchemist are sometimes as important as the effect of the elixir refined. Sometimes, for ordinary people who don't understand the pill, the recognition of the alchemist's tricks is even more than the recognition of the effect of the pill. If the alchemist doesn't have a unique skill when refining the pill, for most people, then don't do alchemy, no matter how good the effect of the medicine is, it will be directly out.

At this moment, several alchemists from the Zhurong Alchemy Shop were already in place, and the number of guests who needed the pills was gradually increasing, and this was the busiest time of the day for these on-site alchemists.

An old Taoist priest in his sixties wearing a red Taoist robe walked into the alchemy shop, and as soon as he stepped into the square with his front foot, he was immediately greeted by the shopkeeper with a smile on his face. The shopkeeper nodded and led the old Taoist priest to the position closest to the center of the alchemy platform. Unlike other people's waiting in line, this old Taoist priest was treated as being able to refine the pill first without queuing. And the other people in line didn't have any opinions, and they all thought it was a reasonable thing to do.

The old man in the red robe had short gray hair, a chubby stature, and a small eye and a big rosacea. No matter how you look at it, it belongs to that kind of very inconspicuous appearance. But the faint red glow that occasionally flashed between the opening and closing of his small eyes seemed to have a breathtaking power.

"Zhengyang Zhenren, the eleven medicinal materials you provided are the raw materials for refining the Juling Pill, and it is estimated that it can refine six pills, is it still the same?" A middle-aged man in a fancy costume walked over and slightly clenched his fist at Zhengyang Zhenren in a red robe. Only VIPs can be personally entertained by the owner of the pù shop.

Zhengyang Zhenren said a little helplessly: "Except for the Gathering Spirit Pill refined by the old red head here that is quite a bit level, there is no special pill that can attract me." Hearing his words, the owner of the pù medicine shop smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and gave the medicinal herb to the oldest alchemist. The alchemist immediately understood, took out a clean alchemy furnace, and quickly started his first job of the day, which was also the most important job for him every day.

Soon, all kinds of medicinal materials were poured into the alchemy furnace in order to be heated, and then after being put into the strainer and adding water, the lid was covered, and as the flame increased, the alchemy furnace immediately spun in the alchemist's hand. With the alchemist's skillful craftsmanship, the alchemy furnace swirled and heated evenly in the red flame. When the cluster of flames finally calmed down in the alchemist's hand, the lid of the alchemy furnace had been opened at some point, and the alchemist poured the black-red pill onto another jade plate. Six black and red round pills fell on the jade plate one by one, and the rich fragrance of the pill spread, making people feel relaxed and happy, which is worthy of being a good pill to improve the speed of gathering spiritual energy.

The movements of this senior alchemist of the Zhurong Alchemy Shop and the aroma of the Gathering Spirit Pill were immediately praised by everyone nearby. Zhengyang Zhenren was no exception, nodding to the alchemist, and when his gaze fell on the six Gathering Spirit Pills, his little eyes couldn't help but reveal a little impatience.

Soon, these six Gathering Spirit Pills were sent to Zhengyang Zhenren, and he took the jade bottle directly from the small second-hand shop, Zhengyang Zhenren smelled it, took a long breath, and praised the owner of the Zhurong Alchemy Pill Shop: "Okay, it's better to gather the Spirit Pill, so that I can feel the gathering of spiritual energy more sensitively." You have all the elixirs here to treat all kinds of diseases, and there is even this kind of Gathering Spirit Pill that is helpful for cultivation, no wonder your business here is so prosperous. The owner of Dan Pharmacy smiled respectfully and said, "It's good that you're satisfied." ”

At this moment, a young man wearing a blue cloth beggar suit suddenly said from the side: "Is this also called a good elixir?" It's just garbage. The voice was not loud, and it was slightly hoarse, but it did not hide the arrogance in his words.

Zhengyang Zhenren and the owner of the alchemy shop looked back, and it was clearly a little beggar in tattered clothes. I saw that this little beggar was quite handsome, about eleven or twelve years old. I saw him squatting not far away and looking at the Gathering Spirit Pill, his eyes were full of disdain.

The owner of the Zhurong Alchemy Pill shop frowned slightly, and looked sternly at a shopkeeper not far away, who noticed the little beggar's cunzài, hurriedly ran over, and said to the boss: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I didn't see him come in." ”

The owner of the Zhurong Alchemy Shop waved his hand and motioned to the shopkeeper to quickly pull the little beggar out, so as not to affect the business. The little beggar stood up by himself, his face dirty, his unkempt head had not been washed for many days, and his body inevitably had some unpleasant smell. The blue clothes became strips of cloth, and the clothes seemed to be very large, and they wore on the little beggar like the straw skirt used by the island savages to dance.

The shopkeeper was a little disgusted and was about to pull him out, but Zhengyang Zhenren said, "Wait a minute." Obviously, the prestige of Zhengyang Zhenren is very high, and there is no need to speak to the owner of the Zhu Rong Alchemy Dan Shop, the shopkeeper hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at Zhengyang Zhenren hesitantly.

Zhengyang Zhenren's eyes fell on the little beggar, and when he heard the words, he said, "Little friend, did you just say that this Gathering Spirit Pill is not good?" I don't know where you've seen a better elixir, let's hear about it. "The pursuit of good elixir can be said to be one of the greatest interests of his life.

Upon hearing that Zhengyang Zhenren really believed the words of a little beggar, the owner of the Zhu Rong Alchemy Shop hurriedly said: "Real person, what can he know about a little beggar, don't let him disturb your fun." Zhengyang Zhenren glanced at him and smiled: "Okay, little friend, what do you have to say, let's hear it." If you're right, the coin is yours. "A golden coin has landed on the table. You must know that the most famous Gathering Spirit Pill in the Zhurong Alchemy Shop, refining it once is just a gold coin. This gold coin is enough to meet the food and clothing of a family of three civilians in Chu City for a year.

To the surprise of the group, the little beggar didn't look at the gold coin, but just raised his hand to the alchemy furnace and said proudly: "If you want to get the elixir that can really gather a large amount of spiritual energy, let me go there and give me the medicinal materials I need." ”

"You know how to do alchemy?" Zhengyang Zhenren and the owner of the Zhurong Alchemy Shop asked in unison. The shopkeeper next to him was even already smiling disdainfully. You must know that the profession of alchemist is not only in the Southern Zhuyan Empire, but also in the entire majestic True Cultivation World. But without the accumulation of time and experience, how can you become an excellent alchemist.
