After walking out of the Nanyu Hall, Senior Sister Min asked, "Senior Sister Yan, what did you look at just now so fascinating?" ”

"Well, I saw a Senior Brother Luo Zhao take two people into the compartment where he was alchemizing, Senior Sister Min, isn't this alchemy refined by one person, why are the three of them together?"

"Yikes! You little girl still recognize Senior Brother Luo Zhao? When Senior Sister Min heard this, she first became curious, "Senior Brother Luo Zhao doesn't show up often, and there aren't many people who know him." ”

Yan Xuan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I didn't know each other at first, but today I refined a furnace of pills, and that Senior Brother Luo Zhao saw it outside the door of my compartment, so he wanted to buy one and go, so I knew." ”

"Buy one and go? Could it be ......" Senior Sister Na Min was very surprised when she heard this, she stopped and looked at Yan Xuan, her eyes full of disbelief.

"If I'm not mistaken, that pill should be a mid-level lower grade." Yan Xuan said softly.

Senior Sister Min was surprised and relieved when she heard this: "Well, then you must be not mistaken, since even Senior Brother Luo Zhao is thinking about buying it, it must be a mid-level elixir, I really didn't expect that, Senior Sister Yan, you actually refined a mid-level elixir, which is a great thing, oh, by the way, did you sell it to him?" ”

"No," Yan Xuan said, "I didn't want to sell it." ”

"Well, that's right, although Senior Brother Luo Zhao won't lose you, and the price given to you will be fair, but well, this middle-grade pill is a good thing that can be met but not sought, even Senior Brother Luo himself doesn't seem to have sold a few, he usually keeps it for himself, and it's much better than the pill on weekdays, by the way, guess what, your senior sister and I have only refined a few middle-grade pills by myself until now?"

"How do I guess this, huh...... There's always ten, right? Yan Xuan replied.

"Ten? Senior Sister Yan, you also think too highly of me, and I don't hide it from you, I have been in the sect for so many years, and I have only refined a total of six middle-level Yangyuan Pills by myself, and I am reluctant to use them, so I keep them, and if I cultivate them even higher in the future, if it is extremely difficult to break through, I can use them. Senior Sister Yan, yours is the same, don't sell it, it's serious to keep it for yourself. ”

"Well, I made a note of it." Yan Xuan nodded and replied, "Then why did the three of them enter that compartment together, Senior Sister Min, you haven't told me yet." ”

This is the place where Yan Xuan and Senior Sister Min have already walked into the Hundred Herb Garden, and entered the place where Senior Sister Min often prepares elixirs together.

"Okay, let me tell you, come, someone else gave me a bunch of spirit grass, but they are not our disciples of Qixia Mountain, this spirit grass is all mixed together, come and help me share a point."

"So much!" Yan Xuan watched as Senior Sister Min took out a small pile of spirit grass from a storage bag and stacked it on top of the wooden case, so he started to sort and sort the pile of various spirit grasses.

"You said that you saw Senior Brother Luo Zhao enter the alchemy compartment with the two of them, but it's actually simple, it's just that Senior Brother Luo Zhao is alchemy for those two people."

"Give them alchemy? So, is it necessary for those two people to be there and watch? Senior Brother Luo Zhao will refine it and give it to those two people? Yan Xuan was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked while busy in his hands.

"Alas, silly girl, to put it bluntly, that's Senior Brother Luo earning spirit stones."

"Then ......" Yan Xuan still didn't understand, even if Senior Brother Luo Zhao was refining the elixir for others to earn spirit stones, there was no need for others to stare at it when refining the pill.

"In the future, there will be people who will ask you for alchemy like this, it's nothing," Senior Sister Min saw that Yan Xuan was still puzzled, so she continued, "For high-level disciples, three Yang Yuan Pills per month are naturally not enough, do you know how they get more pills?" ”

"Didn't you say that they could come to our Qixia Mountain to buy pills with spirit stones?"

"It's true that that's true, but the pills we sell in Qixia Mountain are still a bit expensive, and besides, this spirit stone is also a necessity for cultivation, firstly, not all disciples can afford it, and secondly, even if they can afford it, it hurts very much when digging out the spirit stone, so there are many other ways to get the pill."

"Oh, what's the idea?" Yan Xuan listened and asked curiously.

"You have also been to the Crane Tower, and you have seen all kinds of spirit grasses sold there, the disciples in the sect go out, in addition to earning spirit stones in the Worship Academy, you can also get some other spirit grasses outside, these spirit grasses can be taken to the Crane Tower to sell them to earn some spirit stones, and you can also get our Qixia Mountain to directly exchange for pills, you also know this, right?"

"Well, I know that."

"Many people feel that the amount of elixir they get in exchange for spirit grass in Qixia Mountain is a little small, not enough for their hard work, in addition, what if they get some good spirit grass outside the sect, and they are reluctant to exchange it for pills? Later, there were special people in Qixia Mountain who refined pills for these people, that is, they used those people's spirit grass to refine pills for those people, and then collected some spirit stones after refining. ”

"Oh," Yan Xuan understood a little when he heard this, "I see. ”

"Don't underestimate this, ordinary people can't do it, at least your senior sister and I haven't refined it for others."

"Why? Senior Sister Min's alchemy is very good," Yan Xuan asked strangely.

"As soon as you say it, you will understand, let me ask you, let you refine ten furnace pills, how many furnaces can you make?" Senior Sister Min asked.

"Well......" Yan Xuan thought about it, although she has made a lot of progress in alchemy now, it is inevitable that something will go wrong during alchemy, so it is common for a furnace of pills to be wasted and all the spiritual herbs in it will be reimbursed, but after more experience, Yan Xuan is no longer as fuss as he was when he first started alchemy, "If you have ten furnaces of pills, you can almost become five furnaces, and I dare not guarantee that if you have more." ”

"Even if your Cheng Dan rate is good, don't talk about me, even Senior Brother Luo Zhao can't guarantee that the ten furnace pills can become Dan, there will always be a time when you accidentally refine it. You think, if someone else asks you for alchemy, but you accidentally destroy all the furnaces of pills during alchemy, and the spirit grass for alchemy is found outside by others with great difficulty, what should you do? ”

"That'...... Then you can only pay for others. Yan Xuan said.

"That's right, I'm reluctant to give others alchemy now because of this, it may be that I'm timid, and it doesn't matter when I give myself alchemy, but I am nervous when I give others such alchemy, and I am always afraid of making mistakes, but things are always like this, what I am afraid of will come, so I usually shirk when others ask me for alchemy."

"Oh," Yan Xuan nodded, "So I'm even less daring, it seems that this spirit stone can't be earned." ”

Hearing Yan Xuan say this, Senior Sister Min smiled, "What are you afraid of, I don't give alchemy to others now is actually because my alchemy skills are not good enough, after a long time, if I am sure, I may also give others such alchemy, who knows." ”

"By the way, in fact, they don't refine pills for others like this, and it's not all for the sake of earning spirit stones."

"Oh? So what else are they trying to do? ”

"There are a lot of doorways in this, so I'll tell you about it. There are several kinds of pills for others to refine, well, for example, let's say the two of us, you go out and get some spirit grass and come back, and ask me for alchemy, what do you think should be done? ”

"So what else can I do? If that's the case, you help me with alchemy, I'll give you spirit stones, is there anything else? ”

"Of course there is, silly girl, I will help you refine the pill, you give me the spirit stone, this is the most common one, the others such as the spirit grass you brought back are some more precious, you can refine some more valuable pills, at this time I can explain to you, for example, these spirit herbs can refine at least three pills, if it is three after the furnace is opened, then these three pills are all yours, I will not ask you to take any pills nor ask you to ask you for spirit stones."

"Isn't that a waste of time?" Yan Xuan said.

"But," said Senior Sister Min here, with a smile on her face, "If you find that this furnace has become four or more pills after opening the furnace, then you can only take three, and the rest will be mine." ”

"This ......" Yan Xuan was a little dazed when he heard this, and he didn't fully understand it yet.

"What, this is the ability of the alchemist, the ability is average, basically he is busy in vain; Those who have poor ability or have ability but are unlucky, if they are wasted, they will pay for other people's spiritual grass; Only those who have confidence and courage in their alchemy, of course, have more spirit stones on their bodies dare to do this, as long as there are more pills refined in one furnace, they can collect the excess pills for their own use after the furnace is opened. ”

Yan Xuan was stunned for a moment, how did this sound like a gamble, she didn't like this method in her heart.

"Ordinary pills, such as Yangyuan Dan, no one does this, only those pills that need to use high-level hard-to-find spirit grass will be like this. You saw Senior Brother Luo Zhao refining the pill with two other people, in fact, with Senior Brother Luo's net worth, he had no shortage of spirit stones for a long time, and there was no shortage of ordinary pills. What attracted him to do this must have been that the two of them didn't know what hard-to-find spirit grass they had found outside, which could refine high-grade pills, which made him tempted. The two of them were there watching Senior Brother Luo's alchemy, so as to determine how many pills this furnace could be made, and then split the account on the spot. ”

Yan Xuan nodded, "It seems that this is the case." ”

"Well, there is another one, which is also for the alchemist to come to alchemy in front of others."

"Oh, Senior Sister Min, then you can tell me again."

"This is the way to refine some ordinary pills, for example, Senior Sister Yan, you found some spirit grass outside, come to me to refine pills, normally I can make four pills in one furnace, and after the pills are refined, count out four for you, these four will not accept spirit stones. The rest depends on how many of them, and then each one is the price, you pay me spirit stones before you can take these pills, of course, if the pills are refined, count them mine, and I will compensate you, but after the furnace is opened, as long as it is other than the four, it will be counted as mine, if you want it, you must pay the spirit stones. ”

"Isn't that an ordinary person in alchemy who can only give people alchemy for nothing, and maybe he will have to pay for spirit stones?"

"Alchemy is average, no one will go to him for alchemy, this still depends on the reputation of the individual, the alchemy is masterful, and the reputation will naturally go out." While speaking, Senior Sister Min also pointed to the small white jade gourd on Yan Xuan's waist, "At least there must be this little gourd, otherwise no one will pay attention to you!" ”

"It seems that no matter which method you use, you must have a good alchemy."

"Yes, speaking of which, in our sect, there are many more people who learn alchemy than alchemy, but you must know that whether it is alchemy or alchemy, those who have a lot of money and spirit stones are not distressed to use, and there are only those who are skilled in alchemy or alchemy."

Senior Sister Min said this, Yan Xuan remembered Qian Chao, Brother Qian's alchemy skills are famous, the five of them played in the Crane Tower several times, and they didn't even blink when they saw Brother Qian digging out the spirit stone, even if they pretended to be distressed, they were just amused, and they couldn't help but nod.

"Speaking of which, Senior Sister Yan, you just always take the refined pills and then replace them with spirit grass, so repeatedly come to alchemy, if you also use the pills you refine to exchange for spirit stones, you will also have a lot of money, however, Senior Sister still does not approve of this, or that sentence, the day of earning spirit stones is behind, as long as the alchemy is masterful, it will naturally be difficult to find a pill in the future, and people will look at your face when they look for you for alchemy."

When Yan Xuan heard this, he remembered one more thing, so he asked Senior Sister Min again, "Senior Sister Min, is that Senior Brother Luo Zhao very famous?" ”

"Of course, Senior Brother Luo's reputation is big, among these Qi refining disciples in our Qixia Mountain, if Senior Brother Luo's alchemy is not the most brilliant, then it is really difficult to find a better one than him."

Seeing Yan Xuan nodded, Senior Sister Min said again: "You, you only know about alchemy every day, and you don't like to talk to people, so you naturally know less about things inside the door." This Senior Brother Luo Zhao, when I first entered Qixia Mountain, it was in the limelight, and I caught up with him at that time and another senior brother surnamed Ye had a quarrel, and the two quarreled, and finally won or lost by gambling on Dan. ”

"Bet on Dan?" Tang Ping was puzzled.

"Well, this gambling pill is indeed uncommon, but you will definitely encounter it in the future. Generally it is the Nanyutang host, if there is any cherished spiritual grass, it will be taken out to make a bet, and the participants use the Nanyutang's spiritual grass, the furnace can use their own, open the furnace on the spot to alchemy, and determine the winner or loser by refining the amount and color of the elixir, and the winner can naturally get those cherished spiritual grass. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Yan Xuan said, hearing what Senior Sister Min said, she was a little interested in this gambling pill, saying that it was a gambling pill, but in fact, it was to select people with superb alchemy skills, "What about Senior Brother Luo Zhao's gambling pill with others?" ”

"That's the point, you may not believe it, the reason why Senior Brother Luo Zhao and that Senior Brother Ye had a dispute is because of a woman!"

"What?" Yan Xuan listened and didn't believe it.

"Yes, at least that's what I heard, saying that Senior Brother Luo and Senior Brother Ye both like the same senior sister, surnamed Yuan, these two are also painstaking, but unfortunately there is always one person who wants to quit, right, so these two people will gamble on winning or losing, and those who lose will be willing to bow down, and no longer entangle that Senior Sister Yuan, this incident caused a sensation at that time. When the two of them gambled on the Dan, they used the Dan furnace and the spirit grass of Nanyutang to refine ten furnaces of Dan each, and then Nanyutang judged the victory. ”

"And what was the result?" Yan Xuan asked.

"It's hard to tell the difference," Senior Sister Min said, "There were a lot of people at that time, I couldn't squeeze in to watch at all, I heard that Senior Brother Ye is also an alchemy master, Senior Brother Luo's elixir, the quantity is a little less, but the color is good." That Senior Brother Ye's pill was slightly inferior in color, but it was more numerous. Looking at it this way, the two are almost tied. ”

"That'...... How should this bet be won or lost? ”

"No one won," Speaking of this, Senior Sister Min suddenly smiled and said, "When the two of them were refining in Nanyutang, there was actually one other person who was also present for alchemy, do you know who it is?" ”

Yan Xuan lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly looked up at Senior Sister Min, "Could it be that Senior Sister Yuan?" ”

"That's right, it was that Senior Sister Yuan, when the two of them didn't know whether they won or lost, Nan Yutang also presented the copy that Senior Sister Yuan had refined, and told the two of them that these pills were the same as the spirit grass of the Dan furnace when they were refined, but both in terms of quantity and color, they pressed the two senior brothers Luo and Ye, and that's it, the most conspicuous and rare thing is that Senior Sister Yuan actually refined a middle-grade pill, which was placed in the middle of the tray, and now everyone knows that the two senior brothers have lost. Just when these two senior brothers were stunned, it is said that Senior Sister Yuan also walked up to the two of them and said, "Am I the thing that you two gamble with?" After saying that, then Senior Sister Yuan left, and when Senior Sister Yuan came out, I saw her outside, well, she was really born in the country! ”

"And ...... then?"

"Silly girl, don't you understand when you hear this? The two of them gambled with Senior Sister Yuan, and Senior Sister Yuan was definitely unhappy when she was arrogant, and she naturally became estranged from these two from then on. I've seen Senior Brother Ye a few times, well, it's a handsome character, Senior Brother Luo, it's pretty much the same. The two of them had been depressed for a while since that gamble, and now they are far less flamboyant than they were then. ”

"Then what happened to Senior Sister Yuan?"

"That Senior Sister Yuan successfully built the foundation a year before you entered the sect, and now she is a senior sister who has built a foundation, and it is not easy to see."

"In this way, I thought that any of them were with Senior Sister Yuan."

"How is that possible, if the innocent daughter's family is used as a bet by them like this, anyone will be unhappy."

"That's just as well." Hearing this, Yan Xuan nodded and said.

"In fact, when I first entered our master's sect, there was one of the male disciples who practiced alchemy in the door who was also as famous as Luo and Ye, at that time, these three people were called 'three-legged tripods', and that senior brother's surname was Bian, I have rarely heard of this senior brother Bian over the years, I don't know if he has built a foundation, even if he doesn't, it's probably soon."

When Yan Xuan heard Senior Sister Min say this, he knew that Senior Sister Min was very impressed by this Senior Brother Bian, so he asked, "Is there anything special about this Senior Brother Bian?" ”

"Well, Senior Brother Bian is very special, although he was as famous as the two senior brothers Luo and Ye at that time, but Senior Brother Bian was much older than these two, and it is not clear how much older it is, but at that time, people said that the combined age of the two senior brothers Luo and Ye was not as big as Senior Brother Bian."

"It's just a little older, I heard that there are nearly 100-year-old Qi refining disciples in Jiuxuan."

"If it's just an old age, it doesn't matter, it is said that this Senior Brother Bian's qualifications are very ordinary, and some people even say that he is a little stupid, but he loves this alchemy technique, I heard that it took him nearly thirty years to refine the pill for the first time, nearly thirty years, Senior Sister Yan, think about how long it took you from the beginning to the first time you refined the pill? If you had only done one thing for nearly thirty years and failed almost every time, would you still persevere? ”

Yan Xuan listened and thought to himself, if he has been doing one thing for so long, it is indeed very boring, and in the past thirty years, except for the last success, he has always failed before, and he can't see any hope of success, thinking of this, Yan Xuan felt that he would definitely not be able to persevere, and Yan Xuan shook his head when he thought of this.

Senior Sister Min said again: "I can't do it either, so I admire this Senior Brother Bian." ”

"Then what happened to this Senior Brother Bian?"

"Later? It's also strange to say, since the success of that alchemy, this alchemy has been out of control, catching up with the two most famous senior brothers Luo and Ye at that time, and his cultivation is the same, it seems that those thirty years of perseverance have finally paid off. It's rare to hear from him now, he was originally a silent person, some people say that he worshiped under a certain senior, and some people say that they have seen him outside the sect, in short, there is not much news about Senior Brother Bian, probably the news of him is the news of his foundation. ”
