Chapter 25: Qiu Ming's Decision

The atmosphere in the stone pavilion became a little more solemn with Yan Qing's exploratory question, and except for Xiao Qian, the eyes of the other three people in the field were all looking at Yi Chen.

Among the three, Qiu Ming's gaze made Yi Chen feel the most uncomfortable, with a completely different heat from before, obviously after learning about Yan Qing's speculation, he had realized the importance of Yi Chen, and his evaluation of Yi Chen might be the same as Xiao Qian's three, or even a few points higher.

"Yichen boy, if you have really become a first-order alchemist as Brother Yan said, why don't you take the opportunity of us to gather here and say it", Wei Tianyang, who showed a little disdain, said in a strange manner on the side.

Although he didn't feel his malice in Wei Tianyang's words, it was purely to vent the anger in his heart, but because of his sudden opening, Qiu Ming, who didn't care about him, was now looking forward to his response, and he still had some anger in his heart.

If the two of them hadn't appeared today, according to his conversation with Xiao Gan, he would have already left the medicine hall at this time, and there would be no more such incidents.

"Hall Master, my subordinates are trying to tell you about this matter, but I can't personally verify that the matter is true, and my subordinates don't dare to tell me rashly, and now after many days of confirmation by my subordinates, this matter is indeed the same as what Deacon Yan guessed, Yi Chen has now successfully advanced to a first-order alchemist."

After that, Xiao Qian opened the storage bag containing the cold clear liquid in front of the three people who were shocked, took out three small bottles containing green liquid from it, and carefully handed them to Qiu Ming and the others.

"This cold liquid is what Yi Chen spent many days refining, and there are twenty-seven more in this storage bag, adding up to a total of thirty servings, which is exactly the remaining thirty percent, and I also ask the hall master and the two deacons to take a look."

In this process, Xiao Qian's heart was also apprehensive, the blood on his face was a lot pale, in order not to let others see his condition, so his eyes kept looking at Wei Tianyang on the left, with obvious provocation and contempt in his eyes.

This is also a normal thing, whether it is the relationship between Xiao Qian and Yi Chen on the surface, or the real relationship that is not known in private, it is incomparable to the people standing here.

What's more, in terms of identity, he is a deacon of the Pharmacy, with the same status as Wei Tianyang, and he also holds nearly one-third of the power of the Pharmacy Hall.

Now Wei Tianyang's questioning of Yi Chen is only from a logical point of view, it is undoubtedly a question of his ability, if he chooses to remain silent in the face of this questioning, then the prestige and popularity that he has spent three years accumulating in the medicine hall will inevitably be dealt a heavy blow.

"Well, yes, there is still some remnant of the fire gas and the breath of the Dan furnace in the medicinal liquid, the time of closing the furnace after refining should not be long ago, judging from the medicinal taste and appearance of the medicinal liquid, it is indeed the same as the cold and clear liquid that we have refined, it seems that Yichen Xiaoyou has really become a first-order alchemist, congratulations."

Simply checking the cold clear liquid handed over by Xiao Qian, Yan Qing's old face couldn't stop marveling, and the eyes in the old eyes that looked at Yi Chen were as bright as the stars in the sky.

Qiu Ming didn't have any attainments on the way to alchemy, but his cultivation had reached the point where he was also the master of the medicine hall, so his eyesight naturally didn't need to say much, and after seeing Yan Qing's affirmative nod, he couldn't help shaking the jade bottle in his hand.

"Yes, you are already a first-order alchemist at such an age, with your talent, even if you put it outside, it will only take a few years, and it will not be a problem to be promoted to a second-order alchemist under the joint cultivation of the two deacons of my medicine hall, Deacon Xiao, I will personally report your merits to the landlord", slowly put down the cold clear liquid jade bottle in his hand, and Qiu Ming cast a look of appreciation to Xiao Yi.

And looking at Wei Tianyang, who had inspected the jade bottle several times on the side, his face was very ugly, and anyone could see the disbelief in his eyes, only standing in place and muttering to himself.

Facing Qiu Ming's gaze, Yi Chen was helpless in his heart, so he had to bow down and say modestly: "Senior Qiu laughed at this, although the alchemy talent of the younger generation is better, but without the help of Deacon Xiao and the medicine hall, even if the junior spends a few more years, I am afraid it will be difficult to see such a scene."

"Hahaha...... That's right."

Qiu Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter in front of the eyes of the four of them, but his eyes didn't leave Yi Chen.

"Such a genius can't let him leave my Qingyan Building, it's just that this son has such a close relationship with Deacon Xiao, I can't make him feel cold, it seems that this can only be the case, and then ask the landlord for guilt", he thought about it in his heart, and secretly made a decision.

"You, a junior, are quite self-aware, although this matter still needs to be discussed with the three of you, but since you are already a first-order alchemist, and you are also related to my medicine hall, you are the most suitable person, so there is no need for other discussions."

After a moment of silence, a sharp gaze like a falcon swept over the four of them one by one, and an invisible pressure appeared in everyone's hearts, and the four of them said categorically in fear: "From today onwards, you, the junior, will be the fourth deacon of our medicine hall."

As soon as these words came out, not only did Wei Tianyang, who had never been waiting to see Yi Chen, change his face drastically, but even Yi Chen himself was extremely shocked, just looking at Qiu Ming, who had no room for negotiation on his face, he could only secretly feel bad in his heart.

However, after all, this matter was not in his plan, so in his heart, he wanted to open his mouth and politely decline.

But he soon sensed a deeply hidden murderous intent from the depths of Qiu Ming's eyes, and a coercion from Qiu Ming's body pressed heavily on him, and a chill in his heart suddenly appeared in his mind, making him have to give up this thought.

At this time, he realized that after Qiu Ming said this decision, Xiao Qian and Yan Qing's faces changed many times, but they did not express their opinions.

Through Xiao Qian's flickering gaze from time to time, he saw a solemn warning that he had never seen before, and an active heart could only sink slowly.

It was also at this time that Wei Tianyang, who was in a trance, finally reacted, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Hall Master, this matter must not be done, not to mention that this kid's cultivation is so low, he does not have any prestige in the medicine hall, if he decides rashly, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Tianyang spoke again: "And there is one very important thing that we haven't tested with our own hands, that is, what is the medicinal effect of these cold clear liquids, this is a major matter related to Diyan liquid, the hall master made a decision so quickly, in my opinion, this... It's too hasty."

Wei Tianyang is not stupid, he can naturally see Qiu Ming's plan, in fact, it is not just him, everyone present knows this, they have already seen the value of Yi Chen's existence with their own eyes.

If you want to leave Yi Chen, from the improvement of cultivation, the reward of cultivation resources, etc., it is not directly given him a certain right to come quickly, which is more attractive.

After all, power is something that anyone would desire in their hearts, let alone a deacon among the powerful forces in charge of half of Starfall City, which is the highest position except for the landlord and hall master, which is enough to make people want to stop.

"Hall Master, although the old man did not question Yi Chen's alchemy attainments, but in the matter of cold clear liquid, the old man's thoughts are the same as what Deacon Wei mentioned", Yan Qing, who had been silent for a long time, also suddenly bowed down and spoke.

Yi Chen didn't feel any malice in Yan Qing's words, all he could feel was the responsibility and seriousness of the pill.

And what made him even more comfortable was that the opening of the two finally made Qiu Ming's eyes leave him, and he could take advantage of this to relieve the pressure in his heart for the time being.

"Hall master, subordinates also very much agree with what the two deacons said, Yi Chen has no reputation in the medicine hall, if he suddenly approves him as the fourth deacon, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from below, so the subordinates are brave and hope that the hall master will take back his life", Xiao Qian also quickly opened his mouth to persuade, secretly glad in his heart, but between his words, he cleverly avoided the matter of the medicine test mentioned by Wei Tianyang.

"Hmph, the matter of the medicine hall is my final say, which is the turn of some humble villains to criticize, so it is decided, but the three of you are right, your kid's strength is indeed a little worse, so let's do it, you can take up a temporary position first, and no one will disagree with it in the future when you are promoted to cultivation, as for the matter of the medicine test, it ......"

Taking in the performance of Xiao Qian's three people, Qiu Ming glanced at Yi Chen, and then said what he thought.

But what he hadn't said in the end made Yi Chen and Xiao Yi's hearts suddenly burst, and a bad feeling arose.
