"Fifth brother, what are you talking about? Why can't your elder brother understand you?"
Qian Ruohong looked at Qian Ruoyun in surprise, pretending to have an innocent expression.
However, the fierce look in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.
He wanted to cut Qian Ruoyun's tongue so that he could not speak.
Because although Qian Ruoyun's voice was not loud, it could just be heard by their father beside them.
He felt that Qian Ruoyun was taking the opportunity to complain to his father.
At this time, he regretted very much that he had not listened to his fourth uncle Qian Tongqian and suppressed Qian Ruoyun earlier so that he would never be able to turn around.
Qian Tongqian had long reminded him, and reminded him more than once, that Qian Ruoyun was restless, an uncertain factor, and a certain threat. It was best to suppress him hard and nip it in the bud.
But he never took Qian Ruoyun seriously. Instead, he felt that Qian Ruoyun was jumping around like a clown. Jumping around was a joke after all, because he felt that people's fate was destined from birth. Otherwise, Why are there differences between concubines and concubines?
So Qian Ruohong kept Qian Ruoyun all the time, just as a joke.
He never thought that Qian Ruoyun could stir up any kind of storm. Even if there was a chance that it would stir up waves, he would just reach out in time to smash the waves that were stirred up. He never thought that Qian Ruoyun would catch a strong wind this time and that it was about to stir up a storm. Huge storm.
Once this wind and wave stirs up, he may not be able to smash it to pieces with his palm, and it may even be overturned by the waves.
So Qian Ruohong felt very regretful.
Qian Tongtong, the father of the two, looked at Qian Ruoyun and said: "Ruoyun, please don't have internal conflicts at this critical moment. I will do my best to help your eldest brother make friends with this alchemist. If you can invite him as a guest, my father will not only agree." If you attend the family meeting, you will be rewarded with a tea house."
These words are full of temptation.
But when Qian Ruoyun heard this, he felt a little cold in his heart. He had been traveling around for so many years and finally managed to get a chance to become a big shot. However, his father asked him to make a wedding dress for his eldest brother. It was so natural and unavoidable. Too biased.
Upon hearing this, Qian Ruohong immediately agreed: "If fifth brother can help me make friends with this alchemist, I will personally give you a tea house as a gift."
"Why…"
Qian Ruoyun sighed inwardly, feeling a little sad but not that sad because it was all expected.
"There are two broken teahouses in one building. I don't care about them."
"My goal is to be the number one shopkeeper in the world."
"Fuck you."
He muttered a few times in his mind, and his mood instantly improved.
Then he bowed to Qian Tongtong and said, "Father, I also want to help my eldest brother make friends with Master Zhang, but my fourth uncle doesn't allow it."
Qian Tongtong frowned suddenly when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"
"This Master Zhang prefers to drink tea, so my son took him to our tea shop on Huangqi Street and asked my fourth uncle to sell some Fengjian'er and Blue Blood Blue to Master Zhang. Unexpectedly, my fourth uncle kicked Master Zhang out without any explanation. , they said that we don’t have much tea left, so we are restricting sales, so we asked Master Zhang to make an appointment, and we have to wait until early next summer to be able to place an appointment.”
Qian Ruoyun said.
"This...how is this possible?!" Qian Ruohong looked in disbelief.
Because if Zhang Xiaozu revealed his identity as the specially invited alchemist, Qian Tongqian would definitely treat him as warmly as an ancestor, and there would be no reason to insult him unless he didn't know Zhang Xiaozu's identity as an alchemist.
Qian Ruohong figured out the crux of the problem in a flash. Looking at Qian Ruoyun, his eyes instantly turned gloomy and he said coldly: "The fourth uncle must not know that he is a specially invited alchemist, so he kicked the person out. If Otherwise, it would be impossible to do this. Why didn't you reveal his identity to your fourth uncle? Is it possible that it was intentional?"
"Humph!" Qian Tongtong snorted coldly.
Although he didn't say anything, he clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Qian Ruoyun.
He felt that no matter whether Qian Ruoyun did it intentionally or unintentionally, he should not hide Zhang Xiaozu's identity as an alchemist from Qian Tongqian. He should send someone to inform Qian Tongqian in advance.
Qian Ruoyun didn't do this shrewdly enough, which caused the Qian family tea shop and Zhang Xiaozu to have a grudge.
Qian Tongtong was very angry, but Qian Ruoyun was the key to making friends with Zhang Xiaopou, so he just snorted in dissatisfaction and did not get angry at Qian Ruoyun.
Qian Ruoyun originally wanted to explain a few words, but after seeing his father's reaction, he opened his mouth and closed it again, thinking: "I love you so much, anyway, in your eyes, I am just a person who is not refined." The bastard."
boom!
Suddenly, a huge roar sounded.
Zhang Xiaozu exploded.
The furnace lid flew more than fifty feet into the air, and a large pit was created on the ground by the furnace bottom.
"Ahem..."
People who were closer were choked by the billowing black smoke and coughed, and their ears were buzzing from the loud sound.
Many people were even blown away by the impact of the explosion.
"I'm a little anxious. I should simmer for another twenty breaths before condensing the elixir."
"Pity."
Outside the crowd, Feng Sijun was sitting in the carriage, shaking his head and muttering to himself, and then a look of memory appeared on his face.
What Zhang Xiaozu was refining in this furnace was the Star Chasing Pill.
Feng Sijun has the most experience in refining the Star Chasing Pill, because she and Long Siqing made their fortune by refining the Star Chasing Pill.
They failed several times and emptied out all the money they had accumulated.
Fortunately, they succeeded in the end and mastered the secret of refining the Star Chasing Pill, thus becoming rich.
Recalling the process of the two working hand in hand, Feng Sijun couldn't help but have a beautiful smile on her lips, but it was soon replaced by sadness.
"My husband has engraved his experience in refining various pills in jade slips and stored them. If he killed the husband, he must have obtained the jade slip. It is basically impossible for him to make a mistake when refining the Star Chasing Pill."
"So, my husband probably wasn't killed by him."
"But we can't rule out that he did it on purpose and made it specifically for me to see."
"After you leave Paradise City, I will definitely have a good chat with you."
A cold light flashed in Feng Sijun's eyes.
Zhang Xiaozu did have some subjective purpose in blowing up the furnace this time.
He searched Long Siqing's void space, and the jade slip recording his experience in alchemy naturally fell into his hands, and he had already read and studied it intensively.
Long Siqing's experience and experience were recorded in great detail, down to the details of how to do each step. If Zhang Xiaozu had practiced it step by step, with his current alchemy skills, he would definitely not have exploded the furnace.
But Zhang Xiaozu did not choose to do this, nor did he choose to use the refining method recorded in the jade slip given to him by Fufeng. Instead, he chose to use his own method to refine it.
This is a bold attempt and experiment.
But the reason for choosing to do this has a lot to do with Feng Sijun's presence.
If Feng Sijun hadn't been here, Zhang Xiaozu might not have experimented with his alchemy method in public. After all, he was helping others make alchemy. In the spirit of the contract of mutual trust, he should go all out.
But Feng Sijun's presence made Zhang Xiaozu have other thoughts.
He knew that refining the Star Chasing Pill was Long Siqing's strength, so if the experiment succeeded, everyone would be happy. If the experiment failed, it would just reduce Feng Sijun's suspicion of him.
"Look, I can't even make Long Siqing's best star-chasing pill, so I definitely didn't kill Long Siqing."
"I still use Zixia Danhuo in public. If I was the one who killed Long Siqing, would I dare to use it so openly?"
This is what Zhang Xiaozu thought in his heart.
It must be said that his approach did reduce Feng Sijun's suspicion to a certain extent.
But only lower.
But she didn't know that given Feng Sijun's character, as long as she still had the slightest suspicion, she would get to the bottom of it.
"This this…"
When the black smoke dissipated, the alchemy seeker looked at the messy scene with a desperate expression.
The market price of a Star Chasing Pill is between 2,500 and 3,000 Tongxuan Pills. Even if the medicinal materials used to make the elixir are cheaper than the elixirs, they are still worth 1,780 Tongxuan Pills.
And these seventeen or eight hundred medicinal materials of Tongxuan Pill turned into black smoke with this roar.
The person who begged for elixirs saw his eyes go dark and almost fainted on the spot.
Not only did he lose the medicinal materials, but he also incurred the cost of a hundred Tongxuan Pills.
These wealth were accumulated over more than three hundred years of hard work. He thought he would have a great opportunity and Zhang Xiaozu could help him refine a top-grade Star Chasing Pill, but who would have thought that he would hear a sound.
More than three hundred years of hard work came to naught with a loud noise.
Such a blow would be unbearable for even a powerful cultivator in the Heavenly Saint Realm.
"You are so arrogant. How dare you give him the Star Chasing Pill to refine."
"Look at his desperate expression, it's so pitiful."
"The loss of nearly two thousand Tongxuan Pills all at once is something no one can bear."
The onlookers all cast sympathetic glances at the man.
The man recovered from despair and stared at Zhang Xiaopou, as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth opened and closed slightly, but in the end he turned and left without saying a word.
Obviously, I gave in.
"Brother, wait a minute."
Zhang Xiaozu called out to the man.
The man immediately stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and asked, "What are the instructions from the alchemist?"
His eyes were shining with hope, hoping that Zhang Xiaozu would take pity on him and return his alchemy fee, even half of it.
"It was my operating error that caused the furnace to explode just now. The responsibility lies with me. Just wait a moment and I will send someone to buy the medicinal materials and make a new furnace for you." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.
They all felt that Zhang Xiaozu was too kind.
Alchemy errors are a probabilistic event that is allowed to exist. Even alchemy masters cannot guarantee that they can produce an elixir in every furnace. That is why alchemy fails. Those who seek elixirs can only admit that they are unlucky and cannot let the alchemist compensate for the loss.
of rules.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaozhu didn't have to bear any responsibility, but he took the initiative to buy the medicinal materials himself and make a new batch for the other party. It was really a great kindness and favor.
Hearing this, the man was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He bowed to Zhang Xiaopeng and said gratefully: "Master Alchemist's kindness will be remembered by Lu Hu for the rest of his life. If Lu is useful in the future, Master Alchemist will just speak."
.”
Zhang Xiaozu smiled, took out the Tongxuan Pill from the void space and gave it to Qian Ruoyun, asking him to go to the medicine shop.
"Buy two furnaces."
Zhang Xiaozu said specifically.
"..." The people around him couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, thinking: "Buying two furnaces is to prepare for the next failure."
The person who asked for the elixir was even more moved, thinking that Zhang Xiaopou would rather take the risk of failure to help him refine it again. He was really kind-hearted and of high moral character.
However, they didn't know that although the furnace just failed, it inspired Zhang Xiaopou a lot. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and make two more furnaces.
If successful, he will become famous.
"Wait a moment."
"You don't need to spend money, Mr. Zhang. We have these two batches of medicinal materials from Bliss Dan Pavilion. I want to make Brother Zhang a friend."
A voice sounded from outside the crowd.
