Chapter 100 Paying for the Elixir

Elder Zuo Shuo took the list registered in his hand and read it from beginning to end, and blurted out the first name: "Hua Changsheng, please come forward and pay me your elixir!"

An outer disciple with long hair and small eyes immediately stepped forward and summoned the elixir he had harvested from the storage ring, among which there were two types of high-grade negative elixirs, the Ghost Tear Bamboo and the Nine Aperture Ice Spirit Flower. The quality of cultivation has reached an excellent level, and you can feel the moist and cold aura rolling in, and there is no loss in the slightest.

Seeing that Hua Changsheng's cultivation of two high-grade negative elixirs was so good, Elder Zuo Shuo nodded with satisfaction, accepted it, and said with relief: "Yes, Hua Changsheng, although your cultivation talent is not very good, but the cultivation of elixir is also attentive and meticulous enough, I will recommend you to an alchemy elder, and then you will be an apprentice under Elder Dongyi!"

Hua Changsheng immediately said gratefully: "Thank you Elder Zuo Shuo, I will definitely work hard, I will not disappoint Elder Dongyi, and I will not forget your great kindness today!"

Elder Zuo Shuo nodded, he had heard too much sycophancy, so naturally he would not be easily moved, and ordered Hua Changsheng to wait. After he got the good news, he immediately walked down with his head held high, making the other outer disciples below really envious.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Hua Changsheng to cultivate high-grade elixir so well, without any loss, Elder Zuo Shuo recommended him to Elder Dongyi, an alchemist, he is destined to soar as an apprentice!"

"It is said that Senior Brother Hua Changsheng has desperately teamed up with Senior Brother Jiang Nong, an intermediate alchemy apprentice, otherwise where would he have cultivated such an excellent high-grade elixir?

"It's a pity that those alchemy apprentices are all arrogant and arrogant, and their eyes are empty, and we have no way to tie up, and I don't know how Senior Brother Hua Changsheng got into contact with Senior Brother Jiang Nong?"

......

Hua Changsheng looked at the appearance of many outer disciples talking and envious of him, and secretly sneered in his heart, if it weren't for his solid family background, spending a lot of money to entertain Senior Brother Jiang Nong, and inviting him to go to the famous Qinglou Zuiyang Building in Yuanyang City to play all night, where would he easily help himself and teach him the method of cultivating high-grade elixir?

Although it cost a huge price, everything was worth it, as long as he became an alchemy apprentice, he could be supported by tens of thousands of people. As long as you learn alchemy and become an alchemist, you will attract attention and you will not worry about cultivation resources.

After Elder Zuo Shuo ordered everyone to be quiet, he continued to read, "Next, Guan Cheng!"

A thin white young man stepped forward timidly, and under Elder Zuo Shuo's serious gaze, he had to hand over the elixir he had cultivated with a slight tremor all over his body. What he chose to cultivate was the intermediate-grade elixir Zhu Yanguo, among which the good and the bad were mixed, and nearly half of them were lost, even if the remaining half was intact, it was of poor quality.

Elder Zuo Shuo's face became gloomy, and he said unhappily: "Guan Cheng, it seems that you have neither the talent for cultivation nor the talent for cultivating elixir, and you actually gave Zhu Yanguo the loss of nearly half! The quality of the remaining half of Zhu Yanguo is also unqualified, what should you do? According to the door rules, you have to use the Yin-Yang Pill to compensate for the loss of the damaged elixir!"

Guan Cheng was so frightened that his soul did not possess his body, and pleaded: "Elder Zuo Shuo, I didn't mean to, I didn't expect that Zhu Yanguo's cultivation method would be even more difficult than I imagined, and I spent all my spiritual power to nourish it without being effective. I don't have much Yin Yang Pill on me right now, I hope you can be magnanimous and don't drive me out!"

Elder Zuo Shuo snorted coldly and said lightly: "At the beginning, you were complacent after cultivating the primary elixir, and you wanted to challenge the cultivation of the intermediate elixir, but now who can blame you for your failure." Okay, there is no need to say more, hand over all the Yin Yang Pills on your body, if it is not enough, it will be compensated with valuables, if it is far from enough, I can only send you to the Yin Yang Mine to mine!"

Guan Cheng's face was as pale as earth, you must know that going to the Yin Yang Mine to mine is much more fortunate than cultivating elixir, and it is even possible to encounter attacks by underground demon beasts, which often leads to the death of people, and it is a place where many outer disciples are unwilling to go when they die.

Guan Cheng handed over the storage ring to Elder Zuo Shuo with a dead face, he checked it, took out a few of the Yin Yang Pills and Heavenly Treasures, and said coldly: "The items in your here are completely insufficient to compensate for the loss of the damaged elixir, so you have to go to the Yin Yang Mine to work as a coolie to make up for the remaining losses, come on, take him away!"

Under the orders of Elder Zuo Shuo, a young deacon immediately came, and took Guan Cheng away with his usual face. Most of the outer disciples immediately felt fortunate when they saw this scene, fortunately they didn't die to cultivate an intermediate elixir, otherwise they would only end up like him, going to do dangerous hard work in the Yin Yang Mine.

However, as Elder Zuo Shuo read the names one by one and stepped forward to pay the elixir, most of the outer disciples still met the qualified requirements, although they did not receive a huge reward, but at least they had a relatively generous reward.

Of course, there are also disciples who cultivate intermediate elixirs, they are all old disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect, although their cultivation talent is average, they have long had a unique way to cultivate elixirs, so the quality will reach above the qualified. It's just that they still haven't been favored by Elder Zuo Shuo, and according to the rules, only cultivating high-grade elixirs to excellent quality will they be recommended by him.

It is very difficult to meet this requirement, and it can be seen that Elder Zuo Shuo's recommendation qualifications are unique in ten thousand, and only a few people will be selected by him. And so far, only Hua Changsheng has been recommended.

Therefore, Hua Changsheng watched himself become the focus of everyone, and became more and more proud, it seemed that it was really a wise move for him to befriend Senior Brother Jiang Nong. These fools just don't know how to judge the situation like themselves, flatter, and desperately find a backstage to rely on even if they pay a huge price, so that they can have a bright future.

Hua Changsheng looked around for a week and found that there were not many remaining disciples, and it seemed that there would not be a second disciple recommended by Elder Zuo Shuo today. He is destined to stand out from the crowd and become the most eye-catching one, enjoying the envy and jealousy of this group of imbeciles, this sense of honor really makes him so happy.

Of course, Bai Yang, an inner disciple, was actively ignored by him, although he didn't know why he continued to cultivate elixir with his noble status, he didn't think that he was better cultivated than himself. After all, he was instructed by Senior Brother Jiang Nong, an intermediate alchemy apprentice, how could a disciple who didn't understand professional cultivation methods cultivate an excellent elixir?

Moreover, he also noticed that Bai Yang only came here for a short time almost every day, and it was clearly just for fun, and it was estimated that the elixirs he cultivated were unsightly. Although the failure of the cultivation of the inner disciple will not be expelled from the sect, or even sent to the Yin Yang Mine for mining, it is still necessary to abide by the rules here and make up for the loss of the failure of the elixir cultivation.

Therefore, Hua Changsheng firmly believed that Bai Yang's cultivation of the elixir was a loss to his wife and soldiers, and it was also a great pleasure in life to see how he, an inner disciple, would make a fool of himself. At this moment, Elder Zuo Shuo shouted lightly, "Next, Chen Ping!"

Chen Ping's body trembled slightly when he heard it, and Lu Lu reluctantly stepped forward and took out all the Jinyang ginseng that he had failed to cultivate, but all of them were shriveled and boring, and they had wormholes, obviously suffering from pests and diseases.

When Elder Zuo Shuo saw this, he was furious and said, "Waste, how did you cultivate the elixir? Not only is not a single plant intact, but it can't even resist pests and diseases, which makes me so disappointed. Hand over your storage ring, make up for the loss with your Yin-Yang Pill and valuables, and if it's not enough, get out of here and go to the Yin-Yang Mine to work as a coolie!"

Chen Ping hurriedly explained: "Elder Zuo Shuo, the reason why my Golden Yang Ginseng was cultivated like this is because someone framed me and released a large number of Spirit Eating Insects the night before I was about to harvest, resulting in a large loss of my Golden Yang Ginseng spiritual power. Although I didn't see who did it, it definitely has something to do with this Hua Changsheng, because I have a grudge against him, I hope you will find out!"

Before Elder Zuo Shuo could speak, Hua Changsheng jumped out and smiled disdainfully: "Chen Ping, you have no evidence, don't spew blood, why do you say that I released a spirit eater to destroy your elixir?"

Chen Ping's eyes wanted to breathe fire and said: "Hua Changsheng, don't think that I don't know about the dirty things you did in secret, if it weren't for that, how could you be hooked up with Senior Brother Jiang Nong?

Hua Changsheng was not angry but laughed and said: "It's nonsense, Chen Ping, do you think that just based on your speculation, Elder Zuo Shuo will believe you? Now that I have cultivated the best elixir, I am about to be recommended to become Elder Dongyi's alchemy apprentice, I see that you are obviously jealous that I can become an alchemist, and you want to fall into the trap for me!"

"You!" Chen Ping was so angry that he couldn't speak, he really had no evidence that it was Hua Changsheng's ghost, he didn't expect to be turned against by him, if the crime was confirmed, he would die without a place to be buried.

Before Chen Ping could refute, Hua Changsheng took the opportunity to say to Elder Zuo Shuo: "Elder Zuo Shuo, this Chen Ping is a narrow-minded villain, he actually slandered me for destroying his elixir, if he doesn't get heavy punishment, it is estimated that the other senior brothers will also be unhappy." He has no evidence at all, I hope you can see it!"

Elder Zuo Shuo pondered for a moment and said coldly, "Since Chen Ping has no evidence that it was Hua Changsheng who destroyed his elixir, then according to the rules, he must compensate for the losses caused by cultivating the elixir. Bring the storage ring, if it's not enough, I'll have to send you to the Yin-Yang Mine to do coolie work!"

Chen Ping's heart was as if he was dead, looking at Hua Changsheng's triumphant expression, he wanted to dismantle him in eight pieces, but Elder Zuo Shuo was just in front of him, where did he dare to attack him? The items in his storage ring were far from enough to compensate for the loss of the damage to the elixir, and it seemed that he could only be miserably reduced to a mining coolie.

Just when Chen Ping was about to hand over the storage ring, a childish and nice voice came, and said lightly: "Elder Zuo Shuo, wait a minute, I'll compensate for the loss for Senior Brother Chen Ping!"
