"Alchemist Xu Ye, you ranked eleventh on the contribution list last month. Are you going to hit the top ten this month?" An old man in blue robe asked with a smile to the alchemist named Xu Ye next to him.
road.
This Alchemist Xu Ye is also a second-grade alchemist, and a relatively diligent second-grade alchemist. Last month, he ranked eleventh on the contribution list, only one place short of entering the top ten.
Although there is only one place difference between the tenth and the eleventh, the meanings are completely different. According to the rules of the Alchemy Pavilion, there are rewards for the top ten on the contribution list, once a month. There is no reward for the eleventh.
.
The contribution list is also divided into two lists, one is the alchemist list, and the other is the pharmacist list. This is a relatively reasonable rule, otherwise it would be outrageous to compare pharmacists with alchemists. Even top pharmacists
, which is also far different from the alchemist.
"Top ten? It's difficult!" Xu Ye shook his head.
There are rewards for the top ten. The higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards. If you are tenth, you can get a reward of one thousand four-leaf coins. To be honest, a thousand four-leaf coins are for a second-grade alchemist.
It's nothing. However, being in the top ten on the contribution list is an honor. For many alchemists, the honor of being in the top ten is what they value.
"Alchemist Liu Feng is here!" Another person in the hall shouted.
Although Liu Feng is not the manager of the Alchemy Pavilion, he is very famous in the Alchemy Pavilion. This is because he is one of the few third-grade alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion of Four Leaves College, excluding the management, and he is
An extremely outstanding third-grade alchemist. He has been ranked first in the alchemy list for a long time, almost for two or three years.
Rumors have begun to spread in the Alchemy Pavilion that Liu Feng is likely to become the ninth steward.
"Alchemist Liu Feng!"
"Hello, Alchemist Liu Feng!"
"..."
In the hall, many pharmacists and alchemists greeted Liu Feng. However, Liu Feng just smiled lightly and rarely responded to other people's greetings.
"Alchemist Liu Feng!"
When Liu Feng stopped at a place, Qiao Yan, a senior pharmacist from the Alchemy Pavilion, approached quietly.
"Qiao Yan, how are you lately?" Liu Feng saw Qiao Yan and smiled.
Although Qiao Yan is only a pharmacist, he is far different from Liu Feng, a third-grade alchemist. However, what is surprising is that Qiao Yan, a pharmacist, is highly regarded by Liu Feng.
Everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion knows that Master Liu Feng is not an easy person to talk to. It can be said that Liu Feng's character is relatively cold. Except for the management, he is too lazy to talk to most people. But for Qiao Yan, he is
Accident.
"It's okay." Qiao Yan showed a hint of embarrassment when he heard Liu Feng's question, then nodded.
Not long ago, he was embarrassed when he competed with Lu Chen to prepare medicine. It was almost a month ago.
After Qiao Yan lost to Lu Chen in that competition, he didn't show up in front of anyone for several days.
"Well, I heard that not long ago you competed with a newcomer named Lu Chen to prepare medicine, and you lost to him?" Liu Feng paused and asked again.
Liu Feng also heard about Lu Chen.
Qiao Yan's expression was even more embarrassing, but he didn't dare to ignore Liu Feng. If others mentioned this matter, he might fall out on the spot. But towards Liu Feng, he could not fall out under any circumstances.
"What a mistake! It's really embarrassing, but it's hard to imagine that a young man less than twenty years old is an alchemist." Qiao Yan sighed and pointed out Lu Chen's identity as an alchemist.
It seems that he is not so embarrassed.
"Well, I haven't seen this boy named Lu Chen before." Liu Feng nodded again, "However, I heard that this boy is very arrogant. He is young, but he is arrogant. Although he is an alchemist,
But you can’t disrespect your appearance, right?”
"Who says it's not the case! You're so arrogant!" Qiao Yan said bitterly.
"When I see this person, I will admonish him!" Liu Feng narrowed his eyes and said casually.
On the third floor, inside Lu Chen’s alchemy room.
"The last step!"
"Steady, we will definitely succeed this time." Lu Chen carefully controlled his internal energy and slowly poured it into the alchemy furnace.
The previous time he refined Cui Huadan, he was only a little bit closer to success. This time, Lu Chen felt that it should be successful. The second time he refined Cui Huadan, he was obviously much more skillful than the first time.
Indeed, Lu Chen's alchemy ability is indeed enough to refine third-grade elixirs.
"Breathe! Breathe!" Lu Chen breathed slowly, focusing all his attention on the alchemy furnace in front of him.
"Almost successful!"
"This time, there is no stagnation at all." Lu Chen became delighted.
According to his experience in alchemy, if nothing unexpected happens, this furnace of Cuihua Dan should be successfully refined.
Once he succeeds, Lu Chen will be a third-grade alchemist.
"Squeak!"
However, at this moment, the door of the alchemy room was pushed open with great force, making a harsh sound.
"Lu Chen!"
"Is Lu Chen here?"
A figure walked in with long strides and shouted loudly.
This person was obviously the second-grade alchemist Gu Yuan. He was standing in the alchemy room at this time, looking at Lu Chen with wide eyes. He clearly saw Lu Chen, but he still shouted asking if Lu Chen was there.
Lu Chen's arm trembled slightly, and his inner strength suddenly stagnated. In the alchemy furnace, Cui Hua Dan, which was almost stable, disintegrated and dissipated in an instant.
Although Lu Chen has excellent psychological quality, how could he not react at all when someone was standing behind him and yelling? Moreover, this was the second time he refined a third-grade elixir, and he was already a little nervous for fear of making slight mistakes.
What are you afraid of, what will happen?
This damn bastard has not appeared in front of Lu Chen for nearly a month, but today at this critical moment, he appeared again.
"Lu Chen, are you here? Just say something!" Gu Yuan didn't seem to see Lu Chen's body trembling, and he didn't seem to feel Lu Chen's anger. He still stared at Lu Chen's back with his eyes wide open.
, asked loudly.
"Are you fucking blind? I'm standing right here, can't you see?" Lu Chen slowly turned around and faced Gu Yuan, roaring angrily.
He almost couldn't help but go up and strangle Gu Yuan to death. He clenched his fists fiercely and tried to control his anger.
It was just a little bit closer! It was just a little bit closer to Cui Huadan being completely stable! Just a little bit closer, this damn bastard suddenly rushed in and yelled. Whoever it was, I'm afraid he couldn't help but want to kill someone.
Bar?
Gu Yuan was slightly startled when he saw Lu Chen turning around, with a ferocious expression on his face, his voice hoarse, and his face flushed.
"Lu Chen, are you angry?" Gu Yuan stared and said, "Oh! I saw you, but you were standing there motionless. I thought you were a statue."
"Eh? Are you refining alchemy? It seems that I disturbed your alchemy!" Gu Yuan seemed to have just noticed that Lu Chen was refining alchemy. He looked at Lu Chen and then at the alchemy furnace with a stunned expression.
.
Lu Chen's forehead was covered with black lines. If he could, he really wanted to bite this bastard to death.
"Why did you come to me?" Lu Chen asked almost every word through gritted teeth.
"Oh, it's no big deal. Let's talk about your alchemy first. It seems that I have indeed influenced you. What kind of elixir are you refining? Why are you angry? It's not a big deal. If it's a big deal, I'll compensate you.
That's the furnace elixir." Gu Yuan said as he walked towards the elixir furnace, opened it, and looked inside.
There are no residues in the elixir that is successfully refined in the elixir furnace, but the spiritual herbs put in will definitely leave residues after being extracted from the medicinal power. These residues must be cleaned up immediately.
When Gu Yuan saw the residue in the alchemy furnace, his eyes straightened.
Gu Yuan is also a second-grade alchemist, and his ability in the alchemy path is undoubted.
If he can't even distinguish between the residues of spiritual grass used to refine second-grade elixirs and third-grade elixirs, then he can't be a second-grade alchemist.
Therefore, when he saw the third-grade elixir residue left in the elixir furnace used by Lu Chen, his eyes glazed over.
He just said that he would compensate Lu Chen for a batch of elixirs, but this batch of elixirs was obviously a third-grade elixir. How could he pay for it?
The value of third-grade elixirs is much higher than that of second-grade elixirs. A copy of Cui Huadan's spiritual grass material would require tens of thousands of four-leaf coins to be exchanged in the treasury of Four-leaf Academy.
Tens of thousands of four-leaf coins!
For a second-grade alchemist, it is not an easy task to accumulate tens of thousands of four-leaf coins!
Gu Yuan’s eyes turned blue!
Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't move for a long time, Lu Chen sneered.
"Master Gu Yuan, I thought I heard you say just now that you want to compensate me for this furnace of Cui Hua Dan." Lu Chen said deliberately.
Having dealt with Gu Yuan twice, Lu Chen probably has some understanding of this person. Gu Yuan is indeed a bit hateful and a bastard, but obviously, he is not a bad person. Lu Chen believes that Gu Yuan
The reason for breaking into his alchemy room this time was probably not to sabotage his refining of the elixir.
Because it was impossible for Gu Yuan to know that he was refining a third-grade elixir.
If it was because Gu Yuan hated him because he asked him to help refine the elixir when they first met, but he refused, then Gu Yuan should not have waited a month before taking revenge.
.
Therefore, although Lu Chen was very angry at this time, he did not have any cold murderous intention towards Gu Yuan.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Gu Yuan finally turned around and smiled stiffly.
"Lu Chen, are you...refining Cui Huadan? But aren't you a second-grade alchemy master? If I remember correctly, Cui Huadan is a third-grade alchemy. Why are you refining it as a second-grade alchemy master?
A third-grade elixir?"
"Oh, what you said is true. You are a second-grade alchemist and you can refine the second-grade elixir. Why do you need to refine the third-grade elixir? If you were refining the second-grade elixir and I interrupted it, it failed.
, then I’ll just compensate you with a furnace of second-grade elixir. Now you refine third-grade elixir, how can I compensate you? I can’t refine third-grade elixir!”
Gu Yuan's serious demeanor and his words made it seem like Lu Chen was wrong.
After hearing these words, Lu Chen's face turned even darker. This bastard, I really don't know what attitude to use towards him.
"Gu Yuan, do you think I'm too full to hold on and have nothing to do with materials worth tens of thousands of four-leaf coins?" Lu Chen gritted his teeth.
"Lu Chen, are you really playing with such precious materials? It scared me to death. It really scared me to death. I thought I was really disturbing your alchemy. I didn't expect that you are so rich and can use it casually.
Play with spiritual grass worth tens of thousands of four-leaf coins." Gu Yuan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"..." Lu Chen was speechless.
"Huh!" He took a deep breath.
"Get out!" Lu Chen really didn't have anything to say to this bastard. It would probably be unrealistic to ask him to compensate him with 10,000 four-leaf coins.
