Chapter 138 Generous Gift

In Yunzhou City, where the Chamber of Commerce gathered, Shan Qin took a pill and went to a dark hall.

There was no light in the hall, only a ray of sunlight projected from the patio illuminated the old figure lying in the rocking chair beside him.

The sound of sizzling went back and forth, and the bamboo rocking chair slowly swayed the old body.

Shan Qin walked near the old man and said softly after seeing the ceremony:

"Jie Grandpa!"

The rocking chair stopped rocking, and the squeaking sound also stopped for a moment.

The old man on the chair opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Shan Qin beside him:

"It turns out it's Shantou. What's the matter?"

Shan Qin presented a spiritual elixir in front of him:

"Please also ask Grandpa Jie to take a look at this elixir."

The old man picked it up, and a wisp of pale flame emerged from his fingertips, wrapping the waste blood ginseng pill. Within a few moments, the pill turned into ashes under the burning flames.

The old man was silent for a moment. Shan Qin did not urge him, but waited silently.

The old monk in front of him is none other than Xie Yuanrui, one of the fourth-level alchemists gathered in the Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, he is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. He is very close to the Shan family in the meeting and is a strong supporter of it.

However, due to his old age, he rarely participated in the affairs of the meeting and gradually faded out of the public eye. It was difficult for ordinary people to even meet him.

At this moment, Shan Qin came to the house for appraisal with the elixir he got from Wei Zhong.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, the old man named Xie Yuanrui slowly said:

"The fourth-level blood ginseng waste elixir is only one step away from becoming a complete elixir. Although the refiner's fourth-level techniques are unfamiliar, it shows that his skills are solid.

It should be the work of a third-level alchemist attacking the fourth level. I wonder, girl, am I right? "

Shan Qin looked a little surprised when she heard this:

"Grandpa Jie has a wonderful plan!"

The old man laughed twice.

Shan Qin asked:

"I dare to ask Grandpa Shan how far away from the fourth-level alchemy master level the person who refined this pill is."

"His skills are solid, but he is not proficient enough in refining the fourth-level elixir. If there are several thousand-year-old elixirs for him to use, the fourth-level elixir is just a last resort."

Shan Qin's face showed joy.

‘It’s really as Wei Zhong said. ’

But I heard the old man ask:

"Is this another youngster from my club who is about to be promoted?"

Shan Qin then slowly told the story about Wei Zhong.

Xie Yuanrui kept nodding his head when he heard this, and finally commented:

"Achieving such an achievement within a hundred years is considered a talent."

"Since he is a talented person, Grandpa Xie might as well accept him as his disciple?"

The latter was silent for a moment, then shook his head:

"I'm old, I don't have enough energy, I might die suddenly one day, how can I still have the ability to teach my disciples?"

A trace of regret and sadness appeared in Shan Qin's eyes.

"According to what you said, Wei Zhong has been practicing as a casual cultivator for hundreds of years and has never joined any force. He is probably an ascetic cultivator who doesn't want to get into trouble.

Even if a seasoned Taoist comes to recruit a disciple, I'm afraid the other party will have some scruples and won't want to do this.

Rather than accepting him as a disciple and binding him to the Chamber of Commerce, it would be better to win him over with benefits and treat him sincerely. Over time, his people will surrender.

Just like your father treated me back then! "

Shan Qin bowed and saluted:

"Qin'er understands!"

"Okay, please step back. I need to rest for a while."

After saying that, Shan Qin closed her eyes without waiting for a reply.

The bamboo rocking chair began to rock again. Shan Qin looked around and saw that the sunlight shining down from the patio illuminated the old man's legs, but he could not move up slightly.

The opponent's face was hidden in the darkness, and his complexion could not be seen clearly.

With a slight sigh, Shan Qin bowed again and slowly retreated.

Outside the hall, Miaoli Shan has already been waiting here.

Seeing Shan Qin leaving the palace, he quickly walked forward and asked:

"What did Mr. Jie say?"

Shan Qin replied:

"Wei Zhong's alchemy skills are real. Mr. Jie bluntly said that he only needs a few thousand-year-old elixir to advance to the fourth level.

It's a pity that Mr. Jie didn't agree to accept a disciple, so he asked me to win him over with benefits. "

Miaoli Shan nodded:

"What Mr. Jie said is correct, Wei Zhong doesn't seem to want to submit to a family.

As a casual cultivator who has been wandering around for many years, he naturally has no sense of trust in me and others.

It's still appropriate to win over interests. "

After saying this, Miaoli Shan said carefully:

"How's Xie Lao doing?"

Shan Qin shook his head slightly:

"I have been feeling groggy all day, and it seems that my end is approaching."

Miaoli Shan couldn't help but look sad after hearing this.

······

Wei Zhong, who was far away in Luohe Mansion, didn't know what kind of opportunity he had missed, but even if Wei Zhong knew about it, he would do what Xie Yuanrui said.

Wei Zhong has no intention of completely devoting himself to any force, even if he wants to become a disciple of a Yuanying monk or a fourth-level alchemist.

Besides, he is still a monk who is about to die, and the complicated connections behind him are the last thing Wei Zhong wants to come into contact with. Factional disputes and tangled relationships...

Such troublesome situations are actually obstacles to spiritual practice.

Even if it can bring great benefits to Wei Zhong, it is meaningless.

As long as Wei Zhong continues to practice steadily, sooner or later he will be able to earn money for his practice by relying on his own strength, and there is no need to use this small body to obtain the treasure in the fire.

Of course, all this may have come to an end as Xie Yuanrui fell asleep.

······

At this time, half a year had passed since Wei Zhong refined the Earth Mysterious Pill. He opened his eyes and exited the hidden cultivation.

"Half a year has passed, and it's time to inform the Yunji Chamber of Commerce that I have been promoted to the fourth level of alchemy master."

After Wei Zhong told Xu Xuan the news, he was shocked, and immediately sent the meeting to form an elixir and personally escorted the news to Yunzhou City to report to Shan Qin.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, you have kept this from me for too long!"

Xu Xuan smiled bitterly and said with disbelief.

Wei Zhong cupped his hands and smiled:

"It's just cultivation by the Chamber of Commerce..."

After some negotiations with Xu Xuan, Wei Zhongcai left Yuelan City and returned to Qingbo Island.

“The announcement of the identity of the fourth-level alchemist has many benefits, but there may also be many hidden disadvantages.

I just hope that those monks who want to do something private won’t go too far, otherwise...”

When Wei Zhong said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

With krypton-level life-changing means and [Year Dao Technique] in his possession, Wei Zhong is equivalent to a Nascent Soul with hidden cultivation.

He is also the number one person in Yunzhou and cannot bear to be bullied by others.

"If the enemy is unkind, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wei Zhong rolled his sleeves and went to Dongtian for retreat again.

Less than a month had passed this time before someone touched the Qingbo Island formation.

It was Shan Qin and Miaoli Shan who arrived after learning that Wei Zhong was promoted to the fourth level of alchemy master.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wei for successfully being promoted to the fourth level alchemy master?"

As soon as the two of them saw Wei Zhong, they cupped their hands and spoke.

Wei Zhong returned the favor with a smile, and led the two of them to a small courtyard in Yunqing Courtyard, where he offered spiritual tea and other things and started chatting with them.

Take out two jade bottles containing elixirs.

After the two girls identified each other, Shan Qin said in shock:

"Blood ginseng pill, and this is the earth xuan pill?"

The Blood Shen Dan is one of the easier elixirs to get started among the fourth-level elixirs. In the eyes of Shan Qin and others, it is not surprising that Wei Zhong refined this elixir.

But the Dixuan Pill is different. This pill is a commonly used healing pill among Nascent Soul monks.

The difficulty of refining must be at the intermediate level of the fourth level. How can Wei Zhong be able to refine this elixir after entering the fourth level in such a short time?

The two girls looked up to Wei Zhong a little more.

"I'm still not proficient enough. The last time Fellow Daoist Shan sent me such a long Qingxuan root, I only refined it into one Earthly Mysterious Pill. It was really a waste of natural resources."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is serious. For ordinary people who have entered the level of fourth-level alchemy masters, no matter who dares to refine this kind of elixir for many years, the success rate is also pitifully low.

The fellow Taoist was able to refine the low-grade Qingxuan Pill in just one year, which is enough to demonstrate his superb pill skills. "

Wei Zhong didn't take the compliment to heart and just chatted with the two about alchemy.

After a while, Shan Qin took out a jade-colored token, which seemed to be somewhat similar to Wei Zhong's guest token, only larger.

Miaolishan pushed him in front of Wei Zhong and said:

"This is a brand new guest token prepared for Fellow Daoist Wei. It has a fourth-level protective spell burned into it, which can withstand the attack of the early Nascent Soul monks and increase fellow Daoist's ability to protect himself."

Wei Zhong picked it up, touched the warm jade token, and saw the aura flowing continuously on it, with a bit of admiration in his eyes.

‘Such spiritual materials that can carry out fourth-level spells are probably worth a lot of money. They are worthy of the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, and they are so grand when they are released. ’

"Fellow Taoists only need to put the previous tokens close to each other to transfer the contribution points to them."

After Wei Zhong tried according to what the other party said, it was indeed the case.

His spiritual sense penetrated into the token and saw various spiritual objects with different contribution points.

There are even fourth-level spiritual objects on it, but the price quoted is not contribution points, but various high-level spiritual materials, such as fourth-level spiritual elixirs.

Just when Wei Zhong was confused, Shan Qin explained:

"Most of the high-level spiritual objects on it are not provided by our Gathering Chamber of Commerce, but come from various Nascent Soul monks, or outstanding figures in the alchemy formation like fellow Taoists.

It is an act of bartering. Taoist friends can communicate with the monks and agree on the transaction price.

Transactions can be made through the Weyunji Chamber of Commerce or privately.

In addition, the identity information of the characters is absolutely confidential, so fellow Taoists do not have to worry about exposing their identities and causing trouble..."

Shan Qin explained its purpose, and Wei Zhong couldn't help but nod.

The transaction method in this token is very suitable for Wei Zhong. Being able to hide his identity is exactly what Wei Zhong needs.

Wei Zhong has always followed Gou Dao in his practice and tried to minimize the risks in his practice so that his practice goes smoothly.

Now that Shan Qin had announced his identity as a fourth-level alchemist, the other party did not allow him to participate in the factional battles of the Chamber of Commerce, but provided this kind of trading platform, which naturally made Wei Zhong feel better.

With this thought in mind, Shan Qin in front of her did not stop her movements, and then took out two jade slips.

"One of them is an alchemy experience written by a fourth-level alchemist from our chamber of commerce. The other party asked me to hand it over to Fellow Daoist Wei."

Shan Qin's words are true. This jade slip can be understood as Yuan Rui.

When the other party took out this jade slip, he said:

"You have to be sincere to win over the other party, and don't let them think that I am a petty businessman."

"The alchemy experience of a fourth-level alchemist?"

Wei Zhong looked at Shan Qin in surprise.

‘This thing is no less precious to me than the elixir of life, or even more.

It is one of the shortcuts that can quickly improve one's level 4 alchemy proficiency.

Through daily enlightenment, supplemented by alchemy verification, Wei Zhong's method of alchemy is expected to improve rapidly in a short period of time. ’

For a moment, Wei Zhong even didn't dare to take this thing.

But this was not over yet, Shan Qin explained another jade slip:

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei has also made achievements in the art of weapon refining. This jade slip is a fourth-level weapon refining inheritance. It may be helpful to Fellow Daoist Wei."

When Wei Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise Shan Qin's thoughtfulness, even taking his own weapon refining method into consideration.

"There is also this storage bag. Fellow Taoist, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Wei Zhong watched the other party take out another small white jade storage bag, and felt numb for a moment.

After taking it, his spiritual consciousness penetrated it and was suddenly shocked. Then he put it on the table, shook his head and said:

"Miss Shan, this gift is too heavy."

The storage bag contained nothing but various elixirs. Among them are three thousand-year-old elixirs, and dozens of others that are thousand-year-old.

Last time, I only got one Qingxuan root, and there were two sections in it, which were enough for at least twenty times of alchemy.

How can this gift not overstate its importance?

"Miss Shan is such a gift, but I can't bear it."

Shan Qin couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard Wei Zhong's words.

As he expected, Wei Zhong was unwilling to accept the salary despite his merits.

If a guest token carrying fourth-level spells is the standard equipment of Yunji Chamber of Commerce for people like Wei Zhong.

Then the two inherited jade slips are the personal investment in Wei Zhong by the mysterious senior in the chamber of commerce and Shan Qin.

Wei Zhong still has ways to repay these two inheritances, but these elixirs can...

Wei Zhong kept shaking his head in his mind and made up his mind that he did not want to receive so many magical medicines in vain.

"How about this? I will gather these elixirs in the Chamber of Commerce and entrust my Taoist friends to refine the fourth-level elixirs. All I have to do is return ten fourth-level elixirs within ten years."

Miaolishan on the side said this.

Shan Qin nodded after hearing this idea:

"It is very difficult to refine the fourth-level elixir. Three thousand-year-old elixirs require Fellow Taoist Wei Zhong to provide ten elixirs, which is too much. Why not set it to six?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"Senior Miao, this is a good idea," he turned to look at Shan Qin, "But there is no need to reduce the number of elixirs, just increase them to twenty.

The extra part is regarded as a small return on the investment in Ms. Shan. "

"this······"

The two women were surprised for a moment.

The share of the elixir provided in this storage bag means that for a fourth-level low-grade elixir, there are up to twenty or thirty times of elixir refining opportunities.

Wei Zhong provided twenty elixirs at one time, which was really a bit loud.

The two women did not think Wei Zhong was arrogant, but they were worried that Wei Zhong would be in trouble with resources and delay his alchemy journey.

"Okay, you two don't need to persuade me anymore. Since Pindao proposed such conditions, he has confidence in his heart. You two still need to have confidence in me."

Although twenty level four elixirs may seem like a lot, it is not impossible for Wei Zhong, and there is even a high chance.

All of this is attributed to Wei Zhong's level 4 alchemy proficiency that he has improved over the past few years.
