382. Chapter 380: The Island Lord's Invitation
The three or five old men in green shirts and long robes standing next to the high island lord looked quite embarrassed, and several of them were the alchemists who thought they were clever and clever in the mouth of the high island master.
"It's true, the commonly used elixir of the fourth to sixth order of the intermediate level, the rate of the younger generation's pill is between eighty and ninety percent. Yuwen Zhouyuan said honestly, he didn't need to hide this.
Because in the mainland, some alchemists with extremely high alchemy talent can also achieve such a high rate of becoming a pill.
"Then I don't know how high the rate of success can be if you refine a high-level spirit pill, such as a seventh-order spirit pill?"
"Seventh-Order Elixir?" Yuwen Zhouyuan paused, as if thinking about it.
In the main hall, the two True Masters and Ancestors suddenly became nervous.
Together with the other monks, like those few old men in clear robes, they were all very nervous, this is the real key, the real reason why the two True Masters and Ancestors recruited Yuwen Zhouyuan to come to this Jade Palace Hall.
Even if the two island masters were true master cultivators, they were as concerned about the elixir as ordinary monks, which was related to the progress of their cultivation.
Yuwen Zhouyuan thought about it carefully before continuing: "The seventh-order elixir is a high-level, and the difficulty of refining it is much higher than that of the middle-order elixir. However, the juniors used to be in the sect, and occasionally helped the elders refine high-level elixirs, and they could have at least two or three percent of the pill production rate. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a shock in the Jade Hall, and a low exclamation sounded, and the eyes of the monks who looked at Yuwen Zhouyuan were suddenly different, it was an incomparable envy. admiration, even worship.
It is very difficult for an alchemist to grow up.
In the world of cultivating immortals, alchemists are usually divided into seven levels, alchemy boys, alchemy apprentices, alchemists, alchemists, alchemy masters, alchemy masters, alchemy masters, and alchemy masters.
Alchemy boys, follow the master to learn some introductory skills of alchemy, alchemy apprentices, can try to open the furnace for alchemy, and after becoming an alchemist, they will have a higher status and be looked down upon by immortal cultivators.
During the period of alchemy boy and alchemy apprentice, he has always consumed precious elixir, constantly suffered huge losses, and could not make ends meet, until he became an alchemist, he could barely be self-sufficient.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there has always been a widely circulated saying: poor monks, don't alchemy.
Small family monks, ordinary casual cultivators, want to become an alchemist, it is purely an extravagant hope, take the elixir and spirit stones as dry firewood, in the world of cultivating immortals, because they want to cultivate alchemists, and the small families that have fallen are countless.
Only those big families with considerable financial resources dare to cultivate alchemists, and this is just an alchemist.
Alchemists, you can often do alchemy with other monks, and earn a small amount of money. However, this money is consumed by his daily cultivation, and he can be self-sufficient. I didn't have a lot of money saved.
Only at the level of alchemists, alchemy is superb, and there are many monks who ask Tumen to come to alchemy, in order to really earn a large amount of spirit stones, this is the time when alchemists are bitter and happy, and when they have a bumper harvest, as long as they are alchemists, they are basically not short of money.
However, if you want to become a higher-level alchemist, you must have an alchemy talent, otherwise it will be a dream.
At present, on the Emerald Island, most of the monks who know alchemy are only at the level of alchemy apprentices.
These ordinary alchemy apprentices, no one will take a second look, and it is a pure waste to hand over the elixir to them for alchemy.
There are only a few monks on this island, who are alchemists.
And the several old men in clear robes standing beside the two island masters are none other than alchemists, and they are also the ones with the highest level of alchemy on the Emerald Island.
However, even if they were refining the seventh-order spirit pill, the success rate would never exceed one percent, or even be able to refine it at all.
However, the success and failure rate of Yuwen Zhouyuan's refining of the seventh-order spirit pill can reach two or three percent, which is much higher.
Clever alchemists are extremely popular in any place, although there are many alchemists passing by the Emerald Isle, but there are too few who are willing to stay here.
The two island masters were in high spirits, they looked at each other, their eyes showed ecstasy, the appearance of Yuwen Zhouyuan, this meant that the same amount of high-grade spiritual medicine could nearly double the number of spirit pills, and each high-grade spiritual medicine was extremely precious.
"Okay!" The high island lord slapped his palm on the seat and said in ecstasy: "I didn't expect that my Emerald Island would come to an alchemy master." This is a great thing, you must know that the elixir of my Emerald Island has always been poor, and with an alchemy master like you, I don't know how much I can save on the high-grade rare elixir. The old man came to you today, in fact, the purpose is very simple. I hope you can serve my Great Emerald Island and become the chief alchemist of my Great Emerald Island. For a monk like you, the old man will never treat him badly. ”
When the Dream Island Lord on the side heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and frowned: "Senior brother, what does this mean? Could it be that you want to monopolize it, but he has settled in my Little Emerald Island, and he is a person from my Little Emerald Island." ”
"Haha, there is only one nephew of Master Yuwen, he is either to the Great Emerald Island or to the Little Emerald Island, why don't we let him choose by himself?"
He has been fighting with the Dream Island Lord on this large and small emerald island for hundreds of years, although he has not divided the winner or loser, but he has always had the upper hand, he believes that Yuwen Zhouyuan is knowledgeable, and should know who is strong and who is weak on the small and small emerald islands.
If Yuwen Zhouyuan chooses the wrong one, it doesn't matter, he just robs people. He wasn't afraid to fight with the Dream Island Master.
"Hmph, what to choose! Let him do alchemy for you and me at the same time, this is not enough. so as not to hurt the harmony of the two families. "The Dream Island Master knows that his strength can't overpower the High Island Lord, but he is not stupid, there is still a way to solve this matter.
The Dream Island Lord didn't wait for the High Island Lord to agree, so he directly asked Yuwen Zhouyuan: "Yuwen Daoyou, I am short of a chief alchemist in both large and small Emerald Islands. Would you like to be the chief alchemist of the two islands?"
Yuwen Zhouyuan was stunned for a moment, the chief alchemist of the large and small Emerald Islands, this high island master, wanted him to join the Emerald Island?
Yuwen Zhouyuan quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and the pros and cons were obviously visible.
With the support of the two island masters, his safety on the island can almost be said to be very guaranteed, the two island masters are true master cultivators, and the elixirs they use are naturally above the seventh order.
It is extremely difficult to refine such a high-level elixir, otherwise the two island masters, after knowing his alchemy level, would not be so ecstatic.
And one of the prices he needed to pay was to refine a high-level elixir of the seventh order for these two island masters, which restricted his freedom to a certain extent.
The owner of Dream Island proposed to let Yuwen Zhouyuan serve as the chief alchemist of the large and small emerald islands at the same time.
The tall island lord pondered for a while, and did not object, the best way to solve this matter is only like this, otherwise there is only one way for the two true masters and monks to fight the law, but it is too hurtful to be angry like that.
"Two old ancestors, this little one is just a mouthful, so young, where did he refine the seventh-order elixir?!No one has seen it with their own eyes, it's just hearsay, the two ancestors must not believe one-sided words, and easily appoint him as the chief alchemist of the Great and Small Emerald Islands!" A blue-robed and gray-bearded old man with a haggard face standing next to the tall island lord hurriedly jumped out to oppose at this time.
"Yes, what Elder Zhang said is exactly, this kid is a foreign monk, and he doesn't even know his true origin, how can we trust him?"
"Maybe he just wants to cheat and drink here, the island master, our elixir must not be handed over to him, it will only be wasted. ”
Several other green-robed alchemists also hurriedly stood up to express their strong opposition.
The appearance of Yuwen Zhouyuan, an alchemy master, was a surprise to the monks of the entire Emerald Isle.
But for a very small number of people on the island, it was a very bad thing, that is, more than ten alchemists raised by the two island owners.
They were refining elixirs for the two island masters and other cultivators, and they enjoyed extremely high courtesies, and if they were replaced by Yuwen Zhouyuan, the courtesies they enjoyed would undoubtedly be greatly reduced. The biggest benefit will be taken by Yuwen Zhouyuan.
The most anxious person in the main hall at this moment is probably the original chief alchemist of the Great Emerald Island, that is, the old monk Zhang who jumped out first with a green robe and gray beard.
Last night, after he heard the news that there was an extremely skilled alchemist on the island, he couldn't sleep all night, feeling that something was wrong. Now that the two island owners proposed to let Yuwen Zhouyuan be the chief alchemist, it was even more of a bolt from the blue sky for him, which was unacceptable.
Lord Gao squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This is also true, what Elder Zhang said is good. The old man just listened to a few subordinates, saying that your alchemy is very good, and you yourself said that your alchemy is good. But it's useless to just talk about it, you have to refine the real elixir. Yuwen Master Nephew, what do you say?"
"The island master knows what my alchemy skills are, as long as I refine a few furnaces of elixir, everything will naturally be clear. Why do you need to say so much?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said flatly.
"Okay, the old man will give you ten parts of the sixth-order elixir and ten parts of the seventh-order elixir. If your alchemy skills are really that good, you are the chief alchemist of the Great and Small Emerald Isles. If you are not as clever as you said, and waste the old man's ten precious seventh-level spiritual herbs in vain, the old man will definitely kill you to vent his hatred!" There was a bit of chill in his tone.
"It's nature. Yuwen Zhouyuan's heart sank slightly, knowing that if he couldn't refine the elixir, this high island lord would never show mercy.
"Island Master, I can't help it! Ten parts of seventh-level spiritual medicine are too precious, even I may not be able to succeed once or twice, how can this kid refine it!"
Zhang Lao still wanted to dissuade him, but the two island owners didn't listen at all, they were very much looking forward to Yuwen Zhouyuan's alchemy. The same elixir can be doubled, such a high reward is enough for them to take a risk.
The Great Emerald Island, the main peak, a certain top-level alchemy room, outside the alchemy room, surrounded by dozens of Zhenyuan monks dressed in black clothes and green shirts, stayed outside the Dan room all night, prohibiting any other monks from approaching this place.
And the two island masters, as well as those green-robed monks, came to see them almost every few hours, and after seven days, the alchemy room was opened, and a fragrance of elixir came to the nostrils.
