Chapter 269: A Slap in the Face (Fourth Update!)
Seeing that these side dishes in front of him were all snacks that he usually liked, Zheng Shi suddenly understood that the boy in front of him, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, was definitely not such a simple character.
Not to mention that it is very rare for him to be able to find ways to get these things to make himself happy, and the words that he said just now in his heart really opened his eyes. He didn't expect that a boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old would be able to say such touching words. If this young man had been older, he would have been even more impressed by him.
But even so, Zheng Shi's understanding of Ye Qingyan has changed almost dramatically in this short exchange.
"Deacon Ye, I didn't expect you to think of me so much, now I take back what I said before, and I will concentrate on doing things for you in the future!" Zheng Shi raised his wine glass slightly to signal Ye Qingyan to drink it himself, and then he filled himself with a glass of wine and said slowly.
"Hehe, in fact, you don't need to care too much about these things, after all, I am indeed too young, whether I can sit firmly on this deacon in the future depends on Brother Zheng's help!" Seeing Zheng Shi drink the wine in his hand in one gulp, Ye Qingyan also drank a glass unceremoniously.
However, the wine only circulated slightly in his body, and it was completely diluted by the spiritual power in his body. In fact, only a small part of the alcohol actually entered his body.
Even so, after drinking this + one + book + reading + novel xstxt some wine Ye Qingyan's face was slightly ruddy.
"Well, although your work also needs some senior apprentices to work day and night to cooperate, but you need us junior alchemists to support you with a façade, otherwise. The amount of tasks each month cannot be completed. Not only will you be punished if you don't get a reward!" Ye Qingyan chatted with Zheng Shi for a while before entering the theme.
Zheng Shi knew very well what Ye Qingyan's purpose was for. He also recognized Ye Qingyan, and the next thing was how to control the amount of pills produced in the alchemy room and the quality of each batch of pills.
After some discussion, Zheng Shi's appreciation for Ye Qingyan became more and more, "Giggles, young man, I didn't expect your idea to be really good, it is indeed much stronger than me, an old guy who is over half a hundred years old, I hope you can really do these things well!"
After hearing some of Ye Qingyan's thoughts. Zheng Shi was also amazed. At the same time, his feelings for Ye Qingyan increased a few points.
"Well, senior, what you said is right, I should indeed implement these things, then the other four alchemists will have Brother Lao Zheng to arrange!" After a short meal, Ye Qingyan coaxed Zheng Shi with a smile. Don't look at how much time he spent here, but it turned out that his small efforts paved the way for his various plans in the future.
"Young man, you can leave these things to me, I Zheng Shi's other things can't be settled, if this little thing can't be settled. I'm really going to die headlong!" Zheng Shi was so happy that he was coaxed by Ye Qingyan, and naturally he wouldn't bother with Ye Qingyan about this little thing.
But after Ye Qingyan left. Zheng Shi still sat in his place and hesitated slightly for a moment. Although he could feel that Ye Qingyan did have a lot of excellent points, and he also believed that Ye Qingyan would be prosperous here. There was just one thing that made him a little puzzled: he didn't understand why a boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old would give him an incomparably calm, even too much maturity beyond his age, and even had an extremely strong ability to control the overall situation.
Could it be that he is really a peerless genius that is rare in a thousand years?
Zheng Shi never doubted his judgment, but this time he was a little hesitant.
"Although these things are still to be discussed, but today's opening lottery is going to be decided, I just want Yan Dong to see, can't I live without you?" Zheng Shi drank the small pot of wine, cleaned the side dishes, and then walked towards several other separate alchemy rooms.
To say that these junior alchemists are no strangers to Zheng Shi, and even in their eyes, Zheng Shi has another identity, that is, their mentor.
Speaking of which, Zheng Shi's stay in the Alchemy Hall was not short. It has been at least a dozen years now. It's a pity that in the past ten years, his cultivation realm has not changed at all, which makes him always have a knot in his heart that cannot be opened. Otherwise, with the experience he had accumulated over the years, he would already be an intermediate alchemist.
It's just that judging from the current situation, it is still too early for him to reach the intermediate alchemist. Unless he can wait for that chance to soar.
Although he didn't have much hope for Ye Qingyan, he could have a hunch that Ye Qingyan might have what he wanted. Now that he has been waiting for more than ten years, he does not believe that he will have such an opportunity in more than ten years. Therefore, when dealing with matters related to Ye Qingyan, Zheng Shi was particularly attentive.
Of course, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't reach the point of selling himself, which was also the bottom limit that Zheng Shi used to deal with things.
"Teacher, why are you here in person?" Seeing Zheng Shi come to his alchemy room, the junior alchemist quickly stood up from his seat and bowed and saluted.
Originally, he was just a high-level apprentice, if it weren't for Zheng Shi's training, I am afraid that he would not be able to become a junior alchemist within ten years, and he might even die carelessly during the semi-annual mission. Now that Zheng Shi has promoted him to the position of junior alchemist, he also feels a little flattered.
"Hehe, are you curious about me coming here?" Seeing the confusion in the eyes of this junior alchemist, Zheng Shi also smiled and continued, "It's very simple that I came here, that is, I just met the newly appointed deacon. ”
"Oh?" Although this junior alchemist had not seen Ye Qingyan yet, when he heard Zheng Shi say this, he could feel that Zheng Shi must have a high opinion of this young man, so he listened to him, "Teacher, then the conversation between you and him must be very happy, right?"
Judging from Zheng Shi's very happy expression now, even a fool knows the outcome of this matter.
"Well, yes, this young man is very special, it rekindles my hope for the future cultivation path, and at the same time, I also hope that you can cheer up your spirit, refine the pill on this first day, and don't make any mistakes for me!" Zheng Shi After checking some of the preparations of this junior alchemist before refining the pill, he explained some things before going to other alchemy rooms to take a few turns, and at this time, Ye Qingyan also returned to the room where the medicinal materials were processed and started his busiest supervision work of the day.
You must know that if you want to refine an excellent quality elixir, it is not only necessary to have a good alchemist, but it is also very important to provide alchemists with excellent quality medicinal materials.
Although he didn't plan to stay here for long, in order not to let the senior alchemist find the slightest fault from him, he would never make any low-level mistakes, and even did every task given to him by the senior alchemist very beautifully. In this way, he would have enough opportunities to get close to a high-level alchemist. When the time comes, whatever task he wants to accomplish will naturally come naturally.
On top of that, he also wanted to infiltrate the upper echelons of the training base to get more information about the mysterious organization.
Although it is very intolerable to do this, for Ye Qingyan, if he handles these things well, he will not only make full preparations for him to eliminate the Xiao family in the future, but also reduce the losses of his side to the minimum.
"Okay, this batch of ordinary healing herbs can be sent out!" Ye Qingyan watched these apprentices finish sorting a large number of medicinal herbs, he checked it again, and finally passed this batch of the most common pill medicinal materials. Now it's time to process the medicinal materials for those junior alchemists.
"Solid Dan. Ye Qingyan looked at the list of pills that needed to be refined today, and he also began to check the quality and quantity of this batch of medicinal materials.
"Well, yes, the quantity of this nine-tailed grass is enough, and the quality is okay. Facing the booklet, Ye Qingyan began to check the color and quantity of the pills on it one by one.
But just as he checked the last medicinal herb, his originally calm expression suddenly became extremely ugly. Because the medicinal herbs given to him turned the cow grass into oxtail grass. Although these two medicinal materials are very similar in appearance, they are 108,000 miles different in nature.
If Ye Qingyan didn't check it out and passed it directly, this batch of pills would not only become waste products, but even become poison after refining. Once you take this elixir to cultivate, not only will it not increase your spiritual power and stabilize your mind, but the chance of going mad will greatly increase.
Ye Qingyan could feel that this batch of medicinal materials was not inadvertently made by the deacon in charge of the medicinal materials, but that the other party did it deliberately.
Because oxtail grass is originally a very ordinary plant, it basically has no medicinal value, and the biggest use of this plant in the Alchemy Hall is only to frame others.
Seeing this, Ye Qingyan's originally mild expression also became extremely serious. He frowned, and then regained his calm expression and said to Ye Dang, who had been in his body for a hundred years: "The other medicinal materials will be processed according to what I said, and don't send them away in a hurry after processing, but wait for me to come back and accept them again before they can be sent to the alchemist." ”
"Okay, I'm done talking, you guys start processing these batches of medicinal herbs. ”
"As for these oxtail grasses, I will take them away temporarily, and I will send the real cow tail grass back in a while!" Ye Qingyan put a large amount of oxtail grass into his storage ring, and left his alchemy room and walked towards the hall where medicinal materials were distributed. (To be continued......)
