Chapter 64 The History of Elder Shao's Blood and Tears
The more Elder Xia talked, the more excited he became. He looked at Qin Yi, his eyes gleaming: "Qin Yi, the most suitable thing for you right now is to instruct new students. What do you think? Are you interested? I will make arrangements. Since you are currently in
Due to the popularity of Chenhui Pavilion, there will definitely be a large number of students who are willing to ask you for some advice."
Qin Yi waved his hands repeatedly, with a look of fear on his face.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm not very interested in giving advice to others. But refining elixirs, making talismans, refining weapons, etc., sounds interesting?"
Elder Xia chuckled, with a constipated expression on his face.
"Elder Xia, if you want to say something, just say it directly! Don't hold it back."
"Okay, I'll just tell you the truth. Don't worry about it. Qin Yi, you need to have talent to make alchemy, make talismans, and refine weapons. It doesn't mean that you have high talent in martial arts, you will definitely be able to do it.
Get this done. Do you know how precious an alchemist, a weapon refining master, and a talisman master are in the world of martial arts?"
Qin Yi naturally understands these principles, but according to Elder Xia's words, if you want to make a fortune, you must also be able to make elixirs, make talismans, and refine weapons.
How much money can you make by instructing students?
Those new students received much less resources in a month than themselves, how much can they save?
Pick some flesh out of a mosquito's leg?
Qin Yi is not interested.
After collecting three months of resources, Qin Yi smiled and handed over his hand: "Mr. Xia, I still have something to do, so you should be busy first."
Seeing that Qin Yi was about to leave if he disagreed with her, Elder Xia quickly shouted: "Uh, don't worry... Qin Yi, just wait a moment! We can still discuss the matter of giving guidance to new students and their remuneration..."
No matter how loud Elder Xia shouted, Qin Yi would have disappeared without a trace.
Qin Yi did not return to the cave, but came directly to Elder Shao.
After all, in name, Elder Shao is now his and Jiang Xinyue's mentor, and he always visits them when nothing happens.
"Oh? Qin Yi, are you out of seclusion?" Elder Shao was obviously a little surprised when he saw Qin Yi.
A pair of eyes stared at Qin Yi over and over again, and suddenly his old eyes lit up: "Qin Yi, your cultivation seems to have improved a lot?"
"It's okay." Qin Yi smiled.
Elder Shao was overjoyed. With an old face full of wrinkles, he smiled very happily. He clapped his legs and praised: "Sure enough, sure enough. I am still short-sighted. That skill has rejected so many geniuses, but you came to practice it, but you have
The effect. Hahaha, I must tell the palace master this good news as soon as possible."
Qin Yi didn't expect the old man to be so happy.
Now he hit the snake with the stick and said with a smile: "If this is good news, is there any reward?"
award?
The old man was really stunned, but he didn't expect Qin Yi to be so direct.
"Reward? What reward do you want? Tell me." Elder Shao chuckled.
"Elder Shao, at least you gave me a silver-level Yin Yang Medal, but the monthly salary is really not enough. As the chief elder of the Presbyterian Hall, you are wise and powerful, and you have great power.
Can……"
Qin Yi chuckled and rubbed his right index finger and thumb.
"Haha, of course there is no problem." Elder Shao smiled and said, "How about I personally give you five more Dust-Free Pills?"
I thought Qin Yi would be overjoyed, but unexpectedly, Qin Yi looked depressed when he heard this: "Five dust-free pills, what are they used for?"
What use are five Lichen Pills for? Elder Shao was a bit confused.
"Qin Yi, at your age, it is indeed not easy for you to reach this point. But don't be too ambitious. Five Lichen Pills are enough for you to use for a month, right?"
Naturally, Qin Yi couldn't explain it to him. Could it be that telling him "Nirvana Jue" was a bottomless pit?
It seems that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Relying on Elder Shao's personal subsidies and gifts is not the case after all. In the long run, you have to rely on yourself.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yi finally said: "Old man, I heard that you are the chief alchemist of our Qingluo Kingdom. As for me, I can be considered your old disciple now, right? This... this, your alchemy.
Can you teach me some of your skills?"
"You want to make elixirs?" Elder Shao was surprised.
"yes."
Elder Shao stared at Qin Yi for a long time as if he was sizing up a monster, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know that among a hundred monks, there may not be even one with the talent for alchemy."
"Maybe I'm the one out of a hundred?" Qin Yi was very confident.
"Qin Yi." Elder Shao sighed earnestly, "I'm not trying to throw cold water on you. The talent of alchemy has nothing to do with your cultivation talent. Also, alchemy is a waste of time and energy, and it's easy to get bored playing with things. How much?
A monk is addicted to alchemy, and ends up focusing on one thing and losing the other. He is not good at alchemy, and the precious time for martial arts training is also wasted. In the end, nothing is achieved."
Qin Yi frowned. Listening to Elder Shao's tone, why did he sound self-pitying, self-harming and self-pity? Could it be that the old man was insinuating himself?
Seeing that Qin Yi didn't seem to be moved by him, Elder Shao's expression suddenly condensed, he gritted his teeth, suddenly stretched out his right hand, and smoothed his sleeve, revealing his right hand that had been hidden deep in the sleeve.
This is a mutilated right hand, the entire palm has been almost completely cut off, and a fist-like metal object is worn on the wrist.
As if recalling something painful, Elder Shao's eyes were full of anger and humiliation, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Did you see it? This is what happens when you lose your mind by playing with things. At the time, my cultivation talent was also extremely outstanding. When I was in my twenties,
At that time, I suddenly became obsessed with alchemy and couldn't extricate myself from it. Later, at an exchange meeting between alchemists, I fell into the enemy's provocation and lost this right palm."
"Qin Yi, do you want to follow in my footsteps?"
Qin Yi didn't expect that the old man would have such a painful experience.
However, Qin Yi did not make alchemy on a whim, he had made up his mind.
"Old man, I want to make alchemy, but I just want to add a survival skill. Don't worry, I will apply what I have learned and I promise not to become addicted."
Elder Shao smiled bitterly. He had already experienced Qin Yi's stubbornness and knew that once he made a decision, it would be difficult to persuade him to go back. Just like when he chose the technique in the first place.
After being stunned for a long time, he sighed dejectedly: "Come with me. If you want to make alchemy, you have to test whether you have the talent first. If it's not the material, you don't have to think about it."
Following Elder Shao, we passed through several buildings and finally arrived at the alchemy room.
Before he even walked in, Qin Yi felt the smell of evaporated elixirs coming to his face. The smell was not very good, but it had an addictive quality.
"Great Elder."
"Meet the Great Elder."
When people in the alchemy room saw Shao Pengju arriving, they all stood up to greet him.
Elder Shao waved his hand, indicating that they should go about their business, and took Qin Yi directly to a testing room.
