"Okay, that's it for today! Everyone go back and rest, I will figure out the order."
Zhang Longwang Liang and Qian Xiaowu were granted amnesty. Finally, they were able to get rid of David Yang, the evil boss, and went home to take a shower and change clothes.
Before leaving, Li Xing gave each of them two bottles of high-grade red medicine. Under the heavy reward, Zhang Long and the others suddenly felt their fatigue dissipate and promised to come and help in the next game.
After sending Zhang Long and others away, Li Xing sighed, thinking about how many pills she could refine in one furnace if she enlarged the Shennong Cauldron to the limit she could bear.
David Yang suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, Master Li, your classmate named Ning and his sister have come to see you several times. I told them that you haven't come back yet and asked them to go back and wait for news. Do you want to see them?
?”
"Ning Zhun and Ning Yao?" Li Xing's eyes lit up, yes, how could she forget these two people!
"See you! Tell them I'm back and can come anytime!"
"Okay!"
David Yang directed his staff to clean up the shop, while Li Xing returned to the second floor, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and waited for customers to come.
Sure enough, Ning Zhun and Ning Yao arrived twenty minutes later. Counting the time, they must have arrived immediately after receiving the news from David Yang.
"Master Li!" The admiration in Ning Yao's eyes almost overflowed, and she was even more excited than the last time she saw Li Xing.
Li Xing felt embarrassed by her scorching eyes, touched his nose, and said, "I heard from David Yang that you have called me several times. Is there anything urgent?"
Ning Zhun glanced at his sister and said helplessly: "It's not an urgent matter. The main thing is that Yaoyao wants to see you, so I'll accompany her."
Li Xing looked at Ning Yao, whose eyes were filled with affection and her cheeks were flushed. If Li Xing hadn't confirmed that the child's orientation was normal, she would have really suspected that Ning Yao had fallen in love with her.
Ning Yao said excitedly: "Master Li, I, I am your star fan leader!"
"Uh, thank you."
"We have established a Li Xing support group called the Star Alliance. If it's not too much trouble, can you interact with us on your personal homepage?"
"Can."
"We still-"
Ning Zhun quickly interrupted her and reminded her in a low voice: "Let's get down to business!"
"Ah, oh. Hey, Master Li, I have read all the information you gave me, and I have benefited a lot. I have refined a few pills based on your guidance. Can you help me see how they are?"
Ning Yao took out an exquisite brocade box from the space button. When she opened it, there were three round pills like longan inside, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.
Li Xing picked one up and looked at its color, then put it under his nose and sniffed it. He couldn't help being surprised.
All three are small returning elixirs and are of high quality.
Although Xiao Huan Dan is an entry-level elixir, Ning Yao was able to successfully refine it without any practical guidance and relied solely on self-awareness. A top-grade elixir also appeared, which is really rare. It can be seen from this that Ning Yao is in
In terms of alchemy, he has excellent qualifications.
"Did you practice all this?"
Li Xing's face was expressionless when he asked. Ning Yao couldn't help but feel nervous, not knowing whether her elixir was good or bad.
"Yes, yes."
"How many times have you made these three pills in total?"
"Ten furnaces." Ning Yao pursed her lips in grievance: "Five furnaces produced pills, and the other five furnaces either exploded or burned. A total of twenty-nine pills were obtained. I picked the three best ones and brought them.
…”
The more Ning Yao spoke, the softer her voice became, and her heart sank to the bottom. Master Li would definitely dislike her for her low success rate. It seemed that her apprenticeship was not going to work.
Li Xing had the opposite idea to Ning Yao. The 50% elixir success rate was at the upper level among elixir cultivators, and was 10% higher than her back then.
It is really unimaginable that Ning Yao has received her guidance for less than half a month. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has just started, but she has achieved such success. This child is a good candidate for alchemy!
Li Xing closed the brocade box, smiled at Ning Yao who was sitting upright, and said, "Ning Yao, you are very good."
"Eh?" Ning Yao thought Li Xing would scold her, but the turn of events made her a little stunned for a moment. "Master Li, are you saying something sarcastic?"
Li Xing shook his head: "I'm serious. It's normal to use a medicinal cauldron to make elixirs. It's normal to explode the furnace. If the novice's elixir-forming rate exceeds 30%, he is considered qualified. If you have a 50% elixir-forming rate, you are considered to have excellent qualifications."
Ning Yao was overjoyed: "Is it true! Master Li, then, then -"
"I know what you want to say, but I'm going to disappoint you. I won't accept a disciple before I obtain the heaven-level qualifications."
The fire of hope in Ning Yao's eyes was extinguished instantly.
Li Xing: “But——”
Ning Yao became angry again and shouted: "I like but! Master Li, please tell me, but what?"
"Although I can't accept you as my disciple for the time being, you can get my guidance as a contracted healer."
Ning Yao and Ning Zhun said in unison: "Sign up as a healer?"
Li Xing nodded: "Yeah. I won't hide it from you. There is a shop that is popular. There are too many people ordering medicines. I will definitely not be able to handle it myself. So I need a capable and talented healer like Ning Yao.
Join and help me make medicine."
"If you are willing to sign a contract, all the prescriptions and preparation steps of all the medicines on sale in this store will be fully disclosed to you. I will personally guide you in refining the medicine. Two percent of the profit of the store will belong to you. If you have any questions about medicine, I will
You can help me answer any questions.”
Restricted by patent laws, it is extremely difficult to obtain prescriptions from other healers. The prescription alone is enough to make people attractive, not to mention the money to be made.
Ning Zhun began to envy Ning Yao. If he could also use the medicinal cauldron to make medicine, could he also get Master Li's prescription?
Looking at Ning Yao's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Li Xing continued:
"Of course, I also have conditions. The time limit of our contract is fifty years. Within fifty years, whether you are a spiritual healer or a heavenly healer, you must work for a shop until the contract expires. You are not allowed to do anything during the contract period.
You can’t take on another job, even if it’s to help your family. Within fifty years, the right to sell all the medicines you make, including those you develop and create yourself, belongs to a shop."
Fifty years is not a long time for the long-lived Qianyuan people. Li Xing is betting on Ning Yao's future achievements. If she can advance to the level of earth-level healer within twenty years, the contract will be
Make sure you make money without losing money.
Ning Yao was also having a fierce struggle in her heart. He understood what Li Xing meant. Joining Youjian Shop can indeed learn skills, but in fifty years, no matter how awesome she is, she will still be a wage earner in Youjian Shop. She cannot act like a big name and let her
Whatever you do must be done.
Two percent profit is a lot, but she can already use the medicine cauldron to refine elixirs. In the future, like Li Xing, she can obtain the qualification of a healer and take off her amateur hat. In this way, the family will no longer give her the cold shoulder.
If you look at her face, she might be able to tilt resources towards her.
If she can advance to the prefectural level, she will definitely be a favorite in the eyes of the family. Ning Yao has strength and background. As long as she nods, a large number of nobles will pay her to be the guest elder, and make a donation.
The salary is more than this every year.
But if she disagrees, not only will she lose Li Xing's professional guidance, but she will never know how to refine the magical medicines that Li Xing used in the competition. This is undoubtedly a huge problem for Ning Yao.
Pity.
Should he work hard to learn a craft and become famous fifty years later, or should he continue to cross the river by his own efforts and survive in the family?
Ning Yao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no hesitation inside: "I agree, sign the contract!"
"Refreshing!" Li Xing immediately took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Ning Yao. Ning Yao signed her name with a swipe of her pen.
Li Xing put away the contract with a smile on his face and filled Ning Yao with tea.
"Yao Yao, from now on you will be the chief healer of a shop. You must work hard to make the shop shine! Come to work at eight o'clock tomorrow, and I will first teach you how to make the anti-itch powder!"
"Yes!" Ning Yao's cheeks turned red with excitement, but Ning Zhun was sour.
"Li Xing... no no, Master Li, do you think there is still hope for me?"
Li Xing touched his chin and looked Ning Zhun up and down. Ning Zhun stared at Li Xing's scrutinizing gaze and felt nervous and expectant as never before.
"You don't have a fire spirit, so it's not very convenient to use the medicine cauldron, and it's difficult to make elixirs. Well, if you are willing to join a shop as a contracted healer, I can improve the medicine recipe and let you
You can make a liquid potion with the same effect. But the reward is half that of Yaoyao, how about that?"
Ning Zhun was overjoyed and agreed without thinking: "Yes, yes, I am willing!"
