The nine old men at the other end of the chess game saw the scene in front of them, with unhappiness written all over their faces.
Among the ten people, Old Man Cheng has the best chess skill.
When they usually fight against each other, Old Man Cheng can always beat them. Even if several people join forces, it will be very difficult to defeat Old Man Cheng.
Today we finally seized the opportunity and forced Old Man Cheng to surrender. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan showed up halfway and disrupted their good deeds.
"You guys are going down, why did you stop?"
Old Man Cheng said with a proud smile.
"No, you can't be considered the winner in this game."
Someone on the other side shouted, "You didn't do this yourself."
Old man Cheng said shamelessly: "I didn't do it myself, so what can I do?
It was my discerning eye who gave him guidance and helped me do it. In fact, I am the best, hahaha..."
Everyone can see that Old Man Cheng's victory in this game is entirely due to Chen Yuan.
But it just so happens that old man Cheng is so arrogant, which makes people uncomfortable.
"shameless."
"This is boring."
They waved their hands and said at the same time that they would not play chess with Old Man Cheng in the future.
"Hey, don't be like this, forget it, forget it, this is a draw."
Old Man Cheng took a step back.
Only then did they reconcile.
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Yuan.
Whether it is Old Man Cheng or the other old men, their attitudes towards Chen Yuan have changed greatly.
Common hobbies have invisibly brought us closer together.
What's more, Chen Yuan's chess skills are already very high.
"Your name……"
"Chen Yuan!"
"Elder Ye introduced you here, for what reason?"
The old man got to the point.
The remaining nine old men, as well as Xiaomei, all looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan still remained calm.
"I'm here...to invite you to come out, join my friend's camp, and help her refine the elixir."
"Of course, your salary will not be low. If you have any needs, we will try our best to meet them."
In the process of playing chess, Chen Yuan also got to know them somewhat, and he was not someone who was hiding something.
If you speak directly, the effect will be better.
"Little brother, it's not that I don't give you face, and it's not that I don't give Elder Ye face."
"It's just that we have all decided to go into seclusion. We no longer care about the grudges and intrigues in the world."
After Old Man Cheng finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that Chen Yuan could leave.
The remaining old men have turned around and are about to leave.
Sure enough, it's not easy to do.
They didn't give them a chance to talk at all.
"Cheng Lao, and everyone, I understand why you don't come out."
"Because... you are afraid that others will look down on you."
Chen Yuan used the method of provoking generals.
Afraid?
Afraid of being looked down upon by others?
When several old men heard this, they burst into anger.
"fart."
Old man Cheng took the lead and shouted, "There is no doubt about the alchemy skills of the few of us."
"Our level is so high, how can we be afraid of being looked down upon by others?"
The rest of the people also followed suit.
Some people even rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight Chen Yuan.
"I heard that your alchemy technology is old and not very good."
Chen Yuan stimulated again.
"That's complete nonsense."
Old man Cheng yelled at Chen Yuan, "At such a young age, what qualifications do you have to speak to me like this?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Because... I am better than you!"
These four words are too insulting.
"You alone dare to say such arrogant words?"
The old man scoffed.
"I never utter arrogant words, I... always use my strength to conquer others."
Chen Yuan said domineeringly.
These words made them laugh even louder.
"Let's make signs."
Chen Yuan rolled up his sleeves.
"Okay, come as soon as you come, it's okay if you have nothing to do anyway."
Old Man Cheng responded with a smile, "I want to see if all the cultivators outside are so arrogant?"
Chen Yuan didn't say anything.
The medicine cauldron is ready.
"Okay, now you open the materials and I'll prepare them."
Another old man spoke.
Old man Cheng opened the materials.
Chen Yuan also handed over a list.
The old man was about to turn around to prepare, but when he saw the materials on the list, he stopped again.
"Little brother, are you sure about these materials?"
The old man asked.
"That's right."
Chen Yuan nodded.
The old man asked again: "This is the material for the fifth-grade elixir."
"I'm going to refine a fifth-grade elixir."
Chen Yuan replied.
hiss!
Fifth grade.
What a joke.
The old men didn't believe it, and their eyes fell on Chen Yuan, looking forward to his explanation.
Chen Yuan replied: "If I also refine fourth-grade elixirs, I will be no different from you. What's the point?"
"If I refine a fifth-grade elixir, you won't have anything to say, right?"
"How about this? If I win, how about you join my friend's startup company unconditionally?"
Very calm.
Very confident.
"No problem, I don't believe it anymore.
Prepare materials for him."
Old Man Cheng said, "If the refining fails, I will go to Elder Ye to ask for compensation."
The materials were quickly prepared.
Old man Cheng refined the elixir first. He refined it without any suspense and succeeded quickly.
Chen Yuan was observing from the side.
"Little guy, let's finish reading. What do you want to say?"
Old Man Cheng said proudly.
"There is nothing wrong with the refined elixir."
Chen Yuan added, "If some innovative elements can be incorporated, the effect may be better."
Still picking out the thorns.
Old man Cheng was very unconvinced and said, "You say that to me, so come and try. I want to see what you are capable of."
The other old men also agreed.
Chen Yuan took his time and started refining it.
He had already refined a fifth-grade elixir and gained a lot of experience. He refined the fifth-grade elixir again and had it at his fingertips.
The technique is very skillful and sophisticated.
There are no traces of a newbie at all.
In less than ten minutes, the elixir took shape and was successfully refined without any doubt.
Including Old Man Cheng, the ten old men were all dumbfounded.
Xiaomei also rubbed her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
Chen Yuan...really succeeded.
"How about it?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't it worse than you?"
More than that.
Chen Yuan is too strong.
They opened their mouths in surprise, picked up the elixir, and looked at it carefully.
He looked left and right, and looked again, and kept speechless.
Isn't this guy too strong?
"Are you really a fifth-grade alchemist?"
Old Man Cheng asked.
"I have refined a fifth-grade elixir, what do you think?"
Chen Yuan asked in return.
When they saw Chen Yuan admit it personally, they still took a breath.
"It's really amazing."
Old Man Cheng gave a thumbs up.
The other old men also opened their mouths to praise him.
They had seen fifth-grade alchemists before, but this was the first time they met one as young as Chen Yuan.
The future... is limitless.
"Since I won, are you... willing to join me and join my friend's startup company?"
