Chapter 35: Old Knowledge
"Long time no see, Senior Brother Qin. ”
Li Muchen turned around and saw a disciple in a green robe, because he didn't know many people, so Li Muchen immediately remembered this acquaintance from his predecessor.
The personal disciple of the Jindan Elder of the Medicine Hall, Qin Xiaofeng, an alchemy genius of the wood and fire double lineage, often went to Yunyin Peak to collect elixirs, this was the impression of this person in the predecessor, saying that he was an acquaintance, but he was only a peer who could talk to one or two.
The environment of Yunyin Peak is special, although there are few types of elixirs, but they are all rare elixirs, not much precious, but they are essential excipients in some prescriptions, and it is difficult to find them in the outside world. For example, the cloud pattern flower, the most common spiritual flower in Yunyin Peak, is one of the elixirs needed to refine Zhuji Dan, and it only grows in places where clouds and mist are shrouded all year round and the spiritual energy is abundant, and the only place where Changqing Sect can be cultivated in large quantities is Yunyin Peak.
Therefore, the Medicine Hall attaches great importance to these scarce medicinal materials, and the task of collecting these elixirs is naturally impossible to hand over to ordinary disciples, and Qin Xiaofeng is the Medicine Hall disciple who is responsible for collecting the elixir of Yunyin Peak at this stage.
"Senior Brother Li, that ...... Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, winning or losing the ten great competitions is only temporary, the road to cultivation is long, and cultivation is the key......"
It can be seen that this little junior brother is trying to comfort himself, but the current Li Muchen is actually not discouraged by this matter, the failure of his predecessor is nothing to him, it is a big deal, find a chance to take revenge in the future.
"Senior Brother Qin, it's just a little setback, I can still bear it, but you, cultivate well, after stepping into the foundation building period, the mana will be deeper, and the success rate of refining the pill will not be greater?"
As a disciple of the Qi Refining Period, Qin Xiaofeng originally couldn't enter the third floor, but as an alchemist, he was also a genius alchemist who could refine the mid-grade pill during the Qi refining period, so he naturally had the right to enter the third floor to find the pill, because the Middle-grade Pill Pill Pill used by the cultivators in the foundation building period was on the third floor.
Qin Xiaofeng, who has the talent for alchemy, is not bad in cultivation, and has enough resources, but he is still at the tenth level of qi refining, and it seems that he has not spent much effort on cultivation, which makes Li Muchen puzzled, if his cultivation is up, isn't it more convenient to refine it?
He himself is addicted to alchemy and doesn't understand this, and his master doesn't care?
"Thank you Senior Brother for your concern, I have my own plans for cultivation. ”
Qin Xiaofeng touched his nose and did not explain. There is a reason why he does not break through, alchemy pays attention to the subtle control of mana, it is precisely because the mana is weak during the refining period that it is the best time to exercise the ability to manipulate mana, after breaking through the foundation building period, there is the body of the law element, and there is the blessing of divine thoughts, although alchemy is more convenient, but these subtle manipulations are more difficult to exercise, and Qin Xiaofeng's goal is not only an alchemy master, if you want to go far on the road of alchemy, you must pay attention to these details.
"I don't know you alchemists very well, so I won't say more, by the way, what kind of pill are you going to refine this time?"
Li Muchen was not verbose, he had no right to interfere with other people's cultivation directions, and in the blink of an eye, he saw the jade slip in Qin Xiaofeng's hand and asked casually.
"This, Hui Qi Pill, senior brother, you should have used it. ”
Shaking the jade slip in his hand, Qin Xiaofeng replied.
Li Muchen bowed his head, and the Qi Rejuvenation Pill was a lot of it in his hand, which could quickly recover mana, and it could be regarded as a necessary war pill for cultivators in the foundation building period.
"Having said that, there are a lot of mist gathering grasses in Yunyin Peak, can Senior Brother lend me some alchemy?"
"Of course no problem, well, alchemy......"
Li Muchen thought of his shop, the pill, but the hard goods in the cultivation realm, he wanted to expand his source of income, the sale of pills was indispensable, he would not alchemy, and he would not buy alchemists?
Those alchemy masters don't need to think about it, but their disciples should be able to pry some of them, right?
"Senior Brother Qin, you should know that I have recently served as the director of the Yuhu District of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and I am also planning to open a few shops in the Yuhu District, and I want to recruit some alchemists, I don't know if it is feasible?"
"That's the kind of thing...... In fact, many Medicine Hall disciples have reached cooperation with some shops outside, if there are no suitable conditions, it will be difficult to poach people, and Senior Brother, your current prestige may not be enough, it will be difficult to attract them. ”
Qin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and replied.
In order to improve the alchemy skills, the apprentices who have just glimpsed the way of alchemy must practice a lot, so the alchemists are very resource-consuming in the early stage, and although a big sect like the Changqing Sect will train alchemists, it is impossible to supply elixirs without restrictions.
Although the sect will vigorously support disciples with alchemy talent and have a supply of elixir, this is a limit, and if you want to practice more, you have to make up your own materials, so many apprentices will take on private work.
Grab people with other stores?
Li Muchen had a headache, he didn't have a good reputation in Changqing Sect, and he had no connections, and spending a lot of spirit stones to invite people was a bit wasteful in Li Muchen's opinion.
Others can hire alchemy apprentices at a normal price, but they have to spend money in vain, and they feel at a loss when they think about it.
This is inseparable from the fiasco of his predecessor in the Ten Sect Competition, otherwise, Li Muchen is sitting on a spiritual peak, and when he releases the news, he is still worried that he can't find an alchemy apprentice?
The ten major competitions have become a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
However, having said that, from the Ten Great Sects to the assessment of the disciples in the Changqing Sect, there is no assessment of the four paths of the Dan Fu Array, which seems to be a good marketing opportunity!
"Senior Brother Qin, how do you assess your disciples' alchemy cultivation?"
Li Muchen cautiously said tentatively.
"The assessment of the medicine hall depends on the cultivation and what quality of pills can be refined. ”
Qin Xiaofeng replied.
"Is there any competition? I said it's not a battle power, but an alchemy skill. ”
"Alchemy skills? How can this be compared? Every alchemist has areas that he is good at and what he is not good at, and there is no way to compare them at all, you can only look at the number of pills that can be refined, and the quality, and there is no need to compare!"
Li Muchen is very sure in his heart, he has seen countless advertising and marketing in his previous life, and he has a lot of knowledge in all kinds of bells and whistles, alchemy is a technical work, it seems that it can't be compared, but once there is a standard, it will be interesting.
"Senior brother, do you think that if there is a competition, for example, if a large number of elixirs are provided to see who can refine the most Qi Gathering Pills in the same time, or only a certain elixir is given, and a pill is refined, to see who refines the highest quality of the elixir, and the winner will have a huge reward, will the alchemy apprentices in the medicine hall be interested?"
"I should be interested, not to mention the opportunity to practice for free, this is also an opportunity to show my alchemy talent, plus rewards...... Wait, brother, are you going to hold this kind of competition?"
Qin Xiaofeng was a little surprised, isn't this kind of thing a waste of effort to set up a stage for others? And it costs a lot, and it will definitely be a loss!
