Chapter 3: Alchemy Success!
"Ji boy?"
As soon as Ji Boying stepped into the medicine hall, a familiar voice sounded.
But when I saw that behind the counter in the lobby, the shopkeeper Sun, who had a big belly and a mustache, was looking at him with a smile.
"Ji boy, why are you still late today? This is the first time since you went from Jichun Hall to now, right? ”
"Some things were delayed, so I came later."
Ji Boying said casually, it's not a lie.
Shopkeeper Sun bowed slightly, he didn't think to ask what happened, the other party said if he was willing to say, if he didn't want to, forget it.
As if thinking of something, he looked at Ji Boying, and then said:
"I don't know if it's true or not, there have been rumors in the town recently, and there seems to be traces of robbery and repair on the side of the collapsed mountain ridge, although nothing has happened yet, but it's always right to be careful in everything."
"You don't live in the town, and it's twenty or thirty miles back and forth from the village, right? In the future, it is better to travel in a group, and multiple people will also take care of them. ”
"Thank you for the reminder!"
When Ji Boying heard the shopkeeper's words, she was also secretly shocked.
Robbery!
It's only been a long time, and it has appeared again!
Every time there is a robbery, there will be countless low-level monks who will be tragically killed!
The last time there was a robbery, it was the killing of two villagers, Shiling Village and Zhushan Bay; Nearly 1,000 people in the whole village, regardless of men, women, and children, were slaughtered, and even the animals were not spared!
By the time the town's law enforcement team arrived, the gang had long since disappeared.
"Okay, it's not too early, if there is nothing else, you should hurry up and go to the back hall to refine the medicine."
Shopkeeper Sun took out an account book from under the counter, and said with a smile while pulling the abacus:
"Recently, the medicine hall received a big order, you have to hurry up and refine the medicine! When this list is finished, my grandson will treat you and take you to the Drunken Immortal Building to have a good time! Other than that...... Thirty more low-grade spirit stones will be given as a bonus! ”
"That...... Shopkeeper Sun. ”
"What's wrong?"
Shopkeeper Sun looked up with a smile.
"I ...... Can you try alchemy? ”
Smack......
Shopkeeper Sun's hands stiffened, and then he looked at Ji Boying with an incredulous face.
"What? Alchemy? Ji boy, aren't you entertaining my grandson? ”
"I'm serious."
Shopkeeper Sun opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but seeing Ji Boying's serious appearance, some words were still not said in the end.
"If you want to make alchemy, you have to pay for the medicinal materials yourself."
"It's nature!"
Ji Boying was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
"What elixir do you want to refine?"
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Ji Boying and continued:
"For the first time in alchemy, I suggest that you start with the simplest Qi Replenishing Pill and Blood Activating Pill, these two pills are not only low cost, but also more convenient to melt pills, and many alchemists who do not enter the product start with these two pills."
Ji Boying nodded, the Qi Replenishing Pill and the Blood Activating Pill were the easiest pills to refine among the one-star pills, if even these two pills couldn't become pills, let alone the others.
With a general conclusion in his heart, Ji Boying asked the shopkeeper Sun:
"How many spirit stones do you need for a blood-invigorating pill?"
The latter smiled faintly, then stretched out two fingers and shook them:
"Two hundred lower-grade spirit stones, that is, ...... Four months' wages for your boy. ”
Two hundred spirit stones!
After hearing this number, Ji Boying's eyelids couldn't help twitching.
As if seeing Ji Boying's embarrassment, Shopkeeper Sun twisted his mustache, then took out a pair of medicinal materials from behind him and handed it over, saying:
"I know what your situation is, you take this medicinal herb first, as for the money, it will be regarded as credit, and when you have it, it will not be too late to pay it back."
When Ji Boying heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the other party with some puzzlement.
The latter chuckled and said:
"Don't think about it, you are worthy of the four words of hard work and high merit in Jichun Hall over the years, but it is just a few hundred spirit stones, my grandson doesn't want to chill the heart of your great hero."
Ji Boying opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged her fists heavily at Shopkeeper Sun:
"Don't thank you for your kindness, the shopkeeper's kindness, Bo Ying has written it down!"
After speaking, he directly took the medicinal herbs and walked towards the backyard of the medicine hall.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Ji Boying's back, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
To be honest, he is not optimistic about Ji Boying; After all...... There are so many alchemists, and there are really few who can become alchemists.
Of course, this did not affect him in the slightest to sell his favor to Ji Boying.
After all......
This year, there are not many young people like Ji Boying, who are hard-working, capable, honest and disciplined, and don't ask for a salary increase!
Coming to the backyard, Ji Boying went straight to the quiet room where he usually used to refine medicine.
Although before this, Ji Boying had also refined various medicinal materials many times, and there were many similarities between alchemy and alchemy; But...... Now that the alchemy has really begun, Ji Boying is inevitably a little nervous.
After all, if this fails, those two hundred spirit stones will really be lost.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his emotions, he didn't start alchemy in a hurry, but chose to refine some medicinal materials first to familiarize himself with the familiar feel......
The process of refining medicinal herbs went even more smoothly than expected.
According to the previous amazement, Ji Boying will not be able to refine three different medicinal materials at the same time.
But this time......
Ji Boying refined fifteen kinds at one time, and there was no spiritual disorder.
If it weren't for the limited capacity of the Dan furnace, Ji Boying would even want to continue to add medicinal materials to it!
It can be seen how rebellious the effect of these 100 Divine Soul Points is!
Now Ji Boying is more and more sure that he can't become a Dan, it is caused by the divine soul, that is, the lack of spiritual power!
After about an hour, Ji Boying felt that he was almost in a state, so he began to refine the Blood Vitality Pill.
Although it is the easiest pill to refine among the one-star pills, after all, this person is refining for the first time, in addition to being nervous, Ji Boying also has a little more hope and expectation in his eyes.
……
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.
The shopkeeper Sun on the other side of the counter had already checked the account books.
He glanced in the direction of the backyard and couldn't help but shake his head.
Ordinary alchemists have just started to come into contact with alchemy, and it is only two and a half hours at most.
And Ji Boying has been in the backyard for four full hours since she entered the backyard.
If nothing else, it should have failed.
"How can an alchemist become so easy? Otherwise, my grandson wouldn't be a shopkeeper in Jichun Hall! ”
Shopkeeper Sun laughed to himself, patted his stomach, and then staggered towards the backyard.
After Ji Boying came out later, he still had to try his best to appease him.
You can't just because of a failure in alchemy, you can't break the Dao heart.
I have to rely on Ji Boy's more efforts for this transaction!
And just like that, another quarter of an hour or so passed......
The door of Ji Boying's ashram was finally opened, and he himself walked out at this time.
Seeing him come out, Shopkeeper Sun patted his stomach, reviewed the draft prepared before, and walked up quickly.
"Shopkeeper Sun!"
On the other side, Ji Boying couldn't help but speak in a trembling voice after seeing the shopkeeper Sun.
He looked at the middle-aged man with a big belly in front of him, maybe because of the success of alchemy, or maybe it was some other reason, and he was a little speechless for a while.
I think that when I was down, it was this shopkeeper Sun who gave him a bite to eat.
At that time, Ji Boying, although he could refine medicine with the memory left by the original owner, his efficiency was too low and his skills were not strong, and other medicine halls in the town looked down on him at all.
Only Shopkeeper Sun saw that he was pitiful, so he opened the door for convenience, and then taught him by word and deed, and also showed himself a lot of books on alchemy.
Now alchemy, the money is tight, and it is also the generosity of the shopkeeper Sun!
This kindness, Ji Boying didn't touch it, it was impossible!
At that time, Shopkeeper Sun saw Ji Boying's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and he was more sure of what he thought in his heart.
However, before he could speak, he saw Ji Boying holding a jade bottle, and said with a chuckle:
"It's done!"
Shopkeeper Sun paused, the whole person was stunned at first, and even when he saw his face twitching fiercely, the abdominal draft that had been prepared in his heart was choked in his throat at the moment, and he couldn't say a sentence for a long time.
After a long while, Shopkeeper Sun calmed down his emotions and couldn't help asking:
"You kid, since it's done, why didn't you come out until now?"
"I'm not too excited, I just want to refine a few bottles of medicine to suppress the shock, and if I am not careful, I forget the time."
The corner of Shopkeeper Sun's mouth twitched.
How many bottles of medicine to suppress the shock?
Is that okay?
However, before he could calm down, he saw Ji Boying continue:
"Shopkeeper Sun, I'm tired of preparing the medicinal materials needed for a little elixir, I want to try it...... Medium-grade pills! ”
