After more than a month, Qin Cheng, who had been closed, finally came out of the house.

On this trip, he was going to the Elixir Pavilion.

When some people saw Qin Cheng walking out, they were all taken aback first, and then they kept shaking their heads and sighing, sighing.

Because at this time, Qin Cheng was expressionless, his eyes did not squint, and he didn't care about anyone's onlookers and sighs.

But in the eyes of these people, Qin Cheng's performance was simply mental damage and spiritual loss, like the walking dead.

Qin Cheng didn't care about anything else, he just walked towards the Elixir Pavilion.

The courtyard of the Qin family is very large, so big that several hills are surrounded by it. The highest hill was thirty zhang high, and a white jade staircase rushed up from the foot of the mountain. At the end of the white jade steps, there stood the largest and most luxurious building of the Qin family, the Great Hall of the Elixir Pavilion.

Qin Cheng walked to the foot of the mountain, and as soon as he stepped onto the stone steps, he heard a stern shout from the mountain: "Someone is coming, stop!"

Qin Cheng stood still, looked up, and saw a burly square-faced middle-aged man walking out of the main hall, and only a few steps across the long stone steps to the foot of the mountain.

"Captain Aochang. Qin Cheng bowed unhurriedly.

This middle-aged man's name is Qin Aochang, he is the first person of Qin Cheng's uncle, and his cultivation has broken through to a one-star Spirit King, and he is now the only Spirit King master in the Qin family except for Qin Yuanhai and Qin Yuanjiang.

Qin Aochang served as the head of the Qin family's guards, and he had been guarding this elixir pavilion for many years, so Qin Cheng called him the head of the guard Ao Aochang.

"Qin Cheng, why are you coming to the Elixir Pavilion?" Qin Aochang looked at Qin Cheng in surprise and asked.

As far as he knew, hadn't Qin Cheng already cultivated to the end of his life, gave up on himself, and closed his door all day?

"I'm going to learn how to make medicine. Qin Cheng said.

Hearing this, Qin Aochang waved his hand and said, "I advise you to go back." To become an alchemist, you must at least reach the level of a spirit master. Where are you now...... Elder Yuan Yan will not accept you as an apprentice. ”

Qin Cheng smiled a little bitterly and said, "If you don't accept me as an apprentice, I will be a handyman." It's better to have something to do than to be a piece of waste in the house all day with nothing to do. ”

The apprentices of the Elixir Pavilion are the core disciples of the family who have good cultivation talents, and they are learning to refine medicines, while the miscellaneous servants are only doing some miscellaneous work such as sorting medicinal materials, and they are generally only the children of the outermost part of the family and have no cultivation talents.

Qin Cheng was willing to wronged himself to do miscellaneous labor?

Qin Aochang glanced at Qin Cheng with some surprise, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, you go up with me, but Elder Yuan Yan has a bad temper and speaks upright, if he doesn't accept you, you don't have to be reluctant, there are many places in the family that need people, let's look at other places." ”

Qin Cheng nodded yes.

Elder Qin Yuanyan was a strange person, and there were only two things when he spoke, one was to urge the refining materials, and the other was to scold.

Although his cultivation is not high, he is only a nine-star spirit monarch, but his alchemy skills are exquisite, and he is the first Xuan-level junior alchemist in the Qin family who can register with the Alchemist Guild. He was responsible for refining most of the family's elixirs and made great contributions to the development of the family, so he had a high status in the family.

Therefore, Elder Qin Yuanyan's temper is not very good, and his alchemy skills are exquisite, and everyone in the Qin family knows it.

And what Qin Cheng knew more than others was that Elder Qin Yuanyan died at the hands of Qin Yuanjiang two years later. Therefore, Qin Cheng had a trace of sympathy for Elder Qin Yuanyan.

"I don't know if I can stop Qin Yuanjiang in advance and save Elder Qin Yuanyan. While following Qin Aochang, Qin Cheng thought as he could.

As soon as Qin Cheng followed Qin Aochang to the door of the main hall, he heard a scolding voice: "Waste!

Qin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but Qin Aochang walked into the main hall as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Qin Cheng hurriedly followed.

As soon as I entered the door, a strong medicinal fragrance came to my face.

"Hurry up! Three coins for nine-leaf lingzhi, one penny for blue feather grass, two coins for three-star ginseng, hurry up!

Qin Cheng followed the sound and looked over, only to see that in the center of the main hall, there was a five-foot-high Dan furnace.

In front of the Dan furnace, a bare-chested old man sat cross-legged, pressing the wall of the Dan furnace with both hands, staring intently at the flames in the furnace, and shouting and cursing eagerly.

More than a dozen young people were two feet away from the Dan furnace, one holding a medicine bowl, staring at the Dan furnace with high nervousness, maintaining a posture of charging forward.

Every time the old man shouted the name and weight of the medicine, a young man would rush forward, grab the corresponding weight of medicinal materials and throw them into the Dan furnace, and then quickly retreat, returning to the previous posture of charging forward.

They reacted quickly and cooperated tightly, and under the order of the old man, they kept rushing towards the Dan furnace, just like a dozen wooden mallets knocking on a wooden fish, it seemed that there were many wooden mallets one after another, but only one wooden mallet hit the wooden fish each time, which looked like a special rhythmic beauty.

When Qin Cheng saw this scene, he felt that it was an eye-opener, it turned out that the scene of alchemy was so spectacular. Qin Cheng didn't know that this was due to Qin Yuanyan's cultivation being too low, and those who cultivated to a high level could refine medicine alone.

At this moment, an accident suddenly happened.

A young man rushed to the side of the Dan furnace, his feet slipped, and he almost fell, and most of the medicinal materials in his hand were spilled outside the Dan furnace.

"Bastard!" Elder Qin Yuanyan burst out, "Cast again!"

But as soon as the young man took out the medicinal herbs from the medicine bowl, there was a dull explosion in the Dan furnace, and then white smoke came out of several holes in the Dan furnace.

"Bastard!" Elder Qin Yuanyan was so angry that he was like thunder, and he trembled all over.

Qin Cheng smelled the smell of burnt herbs and knew that this furnace of elixir must have failed to be refined.

Seeing this, Qin Aochang explained in a low voice: "It takes dozens or hundreds of small links to refine a furnace of elixir, and if any link goes wrong, it will fail. With the strength of Elder Yuan Yan's Xuan-level beginner-level alchemist, refining ten furnaces of yellow-level elixir could also succeed in four furnaces at most. Many of these materials are exchanged for blood, sweat and even life by the elites of the family, and it is distressing to waste a little, not to mention the waste of more than sixty percent. Now you know why Elder Yuan Yan has a bad temper, right?"

Qin Cheng looked at the angry old man in the stone pavilion, full of respect.

Elder Qin Yuanyan seemed to feel something, waved his hand to let an apprentice clean up the Dan furnace, turned around with a huff, and yelled at Qin Cheng, "You can't come back with this waste." Where are you using a pestle as a stick?"

The expression on Qin Cheng's face froze, and he glanced at Qin Aochang.

Qin Aochang said in a low voice: "Come over." ”

Qin Cheng hurriedly ran up.

When he got closer, he found that Elder Qin Yuanyan's face was covered with fine beads of sweat, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his wrinkles were full of black smoke and dust, and he looked like he hadn't rested for a few days.

Elder Qin Yuanyan said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go." ”

Qin Cheng said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Elder Yuanyan, I want to learn alchemy. ”

Qin Yuanyan looked at Qin Cheng for a moment and asked, "What are you cultivating?"

“...... He used to be a spirit master, but now his cultivation is no longer in use. Qin Cheng hesitated for a moment and told a lie.

"Oh, are you Qin Cheng?" Elder Qin Yuanyan glanced at Qin Cheng in surprise, obviously knowing Qin Cheng's deeds, but then he frowned and said, "If your cultivation is still there, I will accept you as an apprentice." But now that your cultivation is useless, I will never waste my time on you. For the sake of the second elder's face, if you want to, you can stay and be a handyman, and if you don't, you will leave immediately. ”

"I do. Qin Cheng hurriedly agreed. As long as you can stay in the Elixir Pavilion, you should be able to get the Waste Pill, and it doesn't matter what you do.

Elder Qin Yuanyan waved his hand and said, "Ao Chang, take him to the apse." It's up to him to choose what he wants. ”

Qin Aochang bowed his hand and answered, and took Qin Cheng to the apse.

When he came here, Qin Cheng realized that there were actually not a lot of miscellaneous servants, most of them were sorting medicinal materials or doing simple processing of medicinal materials, and some were cleaning.

At this time, a young handyman came listlessly with a porcelain jar, walked to a large stove in the most remote corner, poured the contents of the porcelain jar into the stove, and then held the porcelain jar and looked at the handymen sorting medicinal herbs with envy.

Qin Cheng could see clearly that there were grains of waste pills in the porcelain jar, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at the young handyman and said, "I'll do his job." ”

Qin Aochang glanced at Qin Cheng strangely, but he didn't ask much, and directly called out to the young handyman: "You leave your work to him, and you will go to sort the medicinal materials in the future." ”

This young handyman was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't wait to explain a few words to Qin Cheng, and immediately ran to the medicinal herb sorting area, as if he was afraid that Qin Cheng would suddenly regret it.

The work of dealing with the waste pill could not be simpler, that is, every hour, take the empty porcelain jar to the front hall to retrieve the porcelain jar containing the waste pill, and then pour the waste pill into the big furnace and burn it, there is no technical content at all, and the daily remuneration is also the lowest, and everyone is unwilling to do it.

But Qin Cheng was very happy that he had found the job he wanted to do the most as soon as he came.

Seeing that the task was completed, Qin Aochang said to Qin Cheng: "If there is anything here, you can find me." Then he turned and walked away.

An hour later, Qin Cheng went to the front hall with the empty porcelain jar, replaced the porcelain jar containing the waste pill and came back, and when he poured the waste pill into the big furnace, he instantly collected the waste pill into the space of Liangyi jade, and there were more than thirty pieces.
