Ye Bufan was led by the staff to another alchemy room and entered the third level of the hall.
After entering the door, I saw a short and fat middle-aged man standing in the middle of the alchemy room.
Ye Bufan originally thought that this person would be similar to the two before and would not have a good attitude towards him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, the other party stepped over and bowed to him.
"My dear, Zhang Qing, I have met Mr. Ye."
Zhang Qing, a fourth-level elixir master and a defender of the third level.
"this……"
Ye Bufan was a little surprised, "You know me?"
Zhang Qing said: "I didn't know him at first, but Mr. Ye was not afraid of power, taught that dandy Kong Xifeng a lesson, and safeguarded the reputation of my alchemist union, so it's worth paying homage to him."
After he said this, Third Elder Kong Lingyuan's face suddenly turned ugly.
Although he knew what kind of thing his grandson was, he still felt a little embarrassed when someone pointed him out in public.
However, this Zhang Qing was known to be a tough guy, and he was a subordinate of Second Elder Wu Zheng, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Only then did Ye Bufan understand what was going on. It seemed that people were divided into three levels no matter where they were. There were insidious and treacherous people, but there were also loyal and upright people.
This made him feel very good in his heart: "Senior, you are too polite, I will do it casually."
Zhang Qing cupped his hands again, and then his expression became serious.
"I respect the young master as a person, but this third matter concerns the reputation of the Alchemist Guild, and I will not let it go.
That's good. It's up to the young master to decide what elixir to refine, which can be regarded as a bit of respect from me.
But once the elixir refining begins, there will be no selfish pursuit, let alone mercy."
Seeing that this person had a stand, integrity, and a clear distinction between right and wrong, Ye Bufan's favorable impression increased a bit.
He looked at the other person and said: "I also admire the senior's character. How about this? How about I give you some guidance and help you upgrade to a fifth-level elixir master?"
"Well……"
Everyone watching the light screen was full of shock. They had imagined Ye Bufan's various reactions in their minds, but they never expected that the scene in front of them would happen.
Zhang Qing is a leader among fourth-level elixir masters. He is only one step away from fifth-level elixir masters, but the other party wants to guide him in alchemy and help him improve. Isn't this a joke?
Zhuge Qingyang and others were also shocked. No one expected that Ye Bufan would make such a request.
Only Hua Qiqi had a smile on her lips. She had a deep understanding of her teacher's alchemy skills, and even a twelfth-level elixir master could give her guidance.
Zhang Qing frowned: "Master Ye, I consider myself to be polite to others, how could you insult me?"
"No, I'm serious. I see that my senior has a good character, so I want to help."
Seeing the other party's disbelief, Ye Bufan paused and said, "Okay, didn't you just ask me to choose the type of alchemy? Then I will choose Qinghua Dan."
After he said this, Zhang Qing's face became even more ugly: "Did Young Master know that I challenged a fifth-level immortal alchemist and was defeated by this Qinghua Dan, so he deliberately insulted me?"
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "I don't know something, so that's it.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as I give you some guidance, senior will definitely be able to refine this Qinghua Dan.”
Zhang Qing smiled coldly: "Do you think that by proposing a fifth-level elixir that neither you nor I can refine, you can get away with it?
I tell you, this is impossible!
Although Chuangtang does not limit the level of the elixir, according to the rules of the Alchemist Guild, if two people cannot refine the same elixir, the one who proposed it will be eliminated."
He originally admired this young man very much, but he didn't expect to come up with such a solution.
I choose a fifth-level elixir to refine for myself, thinking that I can pass the test, but it’s not that cheap.
Ye Bufan's expression remained indifferent, "When you assessed the fifth-level elixir master, you chose Qinghua Dan, right?"
If I guessed correctly, you must have exploded the furnace while the elixir was being fused.
"Well……"
Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhang Qing's originally full face turned into shock.
"You...how do you know?"
"Of course you can tell."
Ye Bufan said, "When you were refining the Qinghua Dan, there was no problem with the material selection and the procedure, but when it came to the fusion step, the furnace exploded."
"Yes, that's true."
Zhang Qing nodded with astonishment on his face. Qinghua Dan is one of the easier to refine among the fifth-level elixirs. Generally, fourth-level elixir masters will choose this elixir when advancing to the fifth level, and work steadily.
"If you can find out what the problem is, I'll give up on the spot."
He was not joking when he said this. After failing to advance, he also consulted several high-level elixir masters with good connections, and even consulted the second elder Wu Zheng.
But no one was able to find out what the problem was. They just vaguely said that his alchemy was not hot enough and his attainments were not deep enough. It would naturally be solved after a period of accumulation.
"Not only can I help you find the problem, but I can also help you successfully refine it and become a fifth-level elixir master in one fell swoop."
Ye Bufan said, "The reason why you blew up the furnace is entirely due to the two medicinal materials in Qinghua Dan, Qingyuncao and Jinqionghua.
Qingyuncao has an iron-green body with cloud-like markings, and its medicinal properties are relatively mild.
Golden viburnum is golden in color and is also a fairy grass with mild medicinal properties.
However, the properties of these two medicinal materials are incompatible, and when they come together they will become extremely violent, eventually causing the alchemy furnace to explode."
"No, no, what you said is wrong!"
Zhang Qing frowned slightly and shook his head repeatedly.
"I naturally know that the properties of Jin Qionghua and Qingyuncao are incompatible, but there is another medicine in the elixir, which is lily grass, which can just tolerate these two medicines.
This elixir has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and countless people have successfully developed it, which shows that there are no problems, and my problem does not come from this."
He had been thinking about it for many days after his failure, and he was familiar with the entire alchemy process.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Of course there is no problem with the prescription, the problem is with you."
Zhang Qing's face was full of astonishment: "What do you mean? What's my problem?"
“Everything must be done carefully and carefully, as it varies from person to person, especially when it comes to alchemy.
What you practice is a fire-attributed technique that is extremely strong and yang, while lily grass grows in cold and cold places and is a fairy grass with a water attribute.
In this way, during the process of refining the elixir, the immortal essence will naturally dissolve the medicinal properties of the lily grass, and it will not be able to play its due role at all, which will lead to the final explosion of the furnace."
"How could this happen? It's my own problem?"
Zhang Qing was shocked. Generally speaking, practicing fire-based techniques is more suitable for being an alchemist, but he ignored the conflicting properties between himself and the medicinal materials.
From another perspective, he didn't know enough about lily grass, and ignored its growth environment and water-based medicinal properties.
However, he was still a little unbelievable: "Mr. Ye, are you sure this is the factor?" Although he was not completely convinced, his title was unknowingly changed to Mr. Ye.
