"Do you buy pills?" Wang Heng, who grew up in the remote town of Yancheng, really hadn't seen the world a few times, and when he stepped into the store, he was stunned for a moment, although he quickly returned to normal, he still couldn't help but marvel at the brilliant atmosphere of the Ren Yao Hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ren Yao Tang is seven storeys high from the outside, with cornices and corners on all sides, and the bronze gilt arch with golden light, the overall shape is very similar to the pagoda, and it stands out in the commercial area. The interior layout is carved beams and paintings, antique, and the calm atmosphere faintly reveals luxury, showing the grandeur of the first pharmacy branch of the empire.

Just a branch, it is not inferior to the city lord's mansion in Pan Liancheng.

After hearing that Wang Heng was here to sell medicine, the guy in Tsing Yi became more and more polite to him, and he was afraid that he would snub Wang Heng, and hurriedly invited him to the second floor, which made Wang Heng feel flattered and secretly thought about the dignity of his identity as a pharmacist.

In fact, the guy in Tsing Yi respected the person who didn't exist behind him, and he regarded Wang Heng as the servant of an alchemist who lived in a simple place and was obsessed with alchemy, and was ordered to go out to sell pills.

Studying alchemy at Wang Heng's age, if there is no strong support from a family behind him, he will lose all his savings, and the probability of success in alchemy is also very slim. What's more, looking at Wang Heng's shabby dress, he is definitely not an alchemist trained by his family since childhood.

"Please wait. The man in Tsing Yi led Wang Heng to a palatial private room, served two fragrant teas and left.

The thirsty Wang Heng picked up the fragrant tea in front of him, poured it into his stomach with a cow chewing peony, and left a few pieces of emerald tea leaves at the bottom of the cup. At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and an old man with white hair walked in.

"What is your customer's surname, and which alchemist do you study with?" The old man spoke very carefully, knowing that Wang Heng was most likely a servant of an alchemist, so he tried his best to elevate the identity of the guest.

Wang Heng couldn't help but feel good, and felt that it was no accident that Ren Yaotang could stand out in the fiercely competitive pill industry, which can be seen from its customer-first attitude.

"The master calls me Wang Heng. Wang Heng took out the Ning Shen Pill wrapped in white cloth and said, "These thirty-three Ning Shen Dan are all refined by myself. ”

"Alas, how can the pill be wrapped in a cloth casually. The old man frowned, and he had a lot of complaints about Wang Heng's practice of practicing the pill.

It is ideal to store the pill in a small jade bottle, followed by a porcelain bottle, and the seam between the bottle mouth and the cap must be sealed with beeswax, which is conducive to long-term preservation and the medicinal effect will not be lost over time.

Wang Heng said ashamedly: "The first time the alchemy was successful, I forgot to prepare the utensils for placing the pills. ”

"At your age and without the guidance of a master, it is not easy to refine a furnace of Ning Shen Pill. The old man appreciated.

The old man himself has the strength of the pinnacle of martial arts, and he is also a two-star alchemist, the chief elixir appraiser of the Ren Medicine Hall. He also survived from the alchemy apprenticeship, and he had a personal experience of the hardships of the apprentice.

"It is difficult for an alchemy apprentice below the Fifth Heaven to control the furnace temperature for a long time with his own scarce energy. How many furnace medicinal herbs have you refined?"

"Lots of stoves. Wang Heng didn't know how many times he had failed in alchemy, so he replied trickily.

Besides, he didn't find the furnace temperature difficult to control, and he consulted the old guy on the way to this question, and the old guy attributed the reason to the fact that the energy in his body was purer than others.

"How can there be an elixir without star stripes?" The old man took three or five Tranquility Pills from Wang Heng's hand and said in amazement. One word hits the nail on the head.

It is the layman who looks at the liveliness, the insider looks at the doorway, the star pattern represents the quality of the pill, and the pill that is lower than the one-star quality is impossible to condense into the pill normally, which is the same as pinching the mud, only when the water and mud reach a balance, can it be condensed into a reunion and not disperse.

The alchemist constantly and precisely controls the furnace temperature, and the balanced mixing of all kinds of medicinal materials in the furnace is a necessary condition for the formation of the pill, and it is also the critical point of the lowest quality of the pill.

"Do you still have the Ning Shen Pill in my hand?" This is what Wang Heng is most concerned about, he knows very well in his heart, the pill refined from the metamorphic medicinal herbs is not uncommon without star patterns.

"It's a pity. The old man stared at the pill in his hand and turned it over and over to see it, and only after a while did he say: "You have mastered the skill of refining the Ning Shen Pill, and the fusion of the four medicinal materials is almost perfect, the problem should be in the material." ”

Wang Heng was embarrassed to be praised. He sincerely admired the old man's extraordinary eyesight, and the other party only took a few glances and decided that the alchemy material was defective.

"You have a reason to ask the shop that sold you alchemy herbs for compensation. If the quality of the medicinal materials is good, the Furnace Ning Shen Pill you refine will be a two-star pill, worth at least more than three hundred energy beans. ”

More than 300 energy beans! Wang Heng couldn't wait to write the word "regret" a thousand times, why didn't he use high-quality medicinal materials to alchemy at that time, and fight forty times to three hundred!

"It's a shame. The old man felt sorry for Wang Heng again. "We can't sell elixirs without star stripes, and it will affect the reputation of the store. ”

Ren Yaotang, the first pharmacy in the empire, regards reputation as more important than life, and the old man is politely rejecting himself when he says this. Wang Heng got up and thanked the old man for his kindness, and wanted to leave.

"You put away this jade card, and if you encounter problems that cannot be solved in alchemy in the future, you can use this card to come to the old man for help. The old man looked at Wang Heng appreciatively and handed over a mutton fat white jade plate.

The old man and the younger generation also look at the people, how many young talents with high self-knowledge, begged to ask the old man to guide the alchemy, he sent things away in a few words, today I saw Wang Heng, who has no teacher and is self-taught, has the ability to refine two-star pills during his apprenticeship, which is really rare, and he has a heart of love.

In fact, the old man also has selfish intentions, he hopes to observe Wang Heng for a long time, speculate what kind of achievements this son can achieve in the future on the way to alchemy, and accept Wang Heng as an apprentice depending on the situation. It's a bit of a mother and a child.

"Thanks to the love of my predecessors!" Wang Heng was stunned for a moment, and generously took the jade plate engraved with the old man's surname. I urgently need an identity to cover the Five Elements Alchemy now, and if I want to doze off, someone will send a pillow, hehe, this trip is not in vain.

After listening to some words of encouragement, he said goodbye to Zhou Lao, and Wang Heng sold Ning Shen Pill in a pharmacy along the street.

"No, no, no matter how cheap it is, our store won't accept it, and customers can't afford to buy it back and eat it!"

Some shops didn't give Wang Heng a chance to show the Ning Shen Pill at all, and politely asked Wang Heng which alchemist he was taught by, and after learning that he was a self-taught alchemy apprentice without a teacher, his face immediately changed, and he directly put two mountain characters in a bunch, please "come out".

"Go, go, sixteen or seventeen-year-old half-grown son, not to mention the long stumbling, and shabby clothes, where does the money come from to buy medicine alchemy, what kind of pill can be refined?"

"Boy, you're looking for fun, this shopkeeper and your nonsense work can get dozens of energy beans into the account, can you afford to delay?"
