Chapter 109 Little friend is really a wonderful person
After hearing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but blush. In fact, he felt that the test question was too difficult, so he couldn't even say anything to refute it.
Hearing that even Jiang Beiran said this, the people below immediately started shouting: "Oh, the Alchemist Association of the Hidden Moon Sect is nothing more than that. It actually comes up with this kind of question to make things difficult for people. Why don't you just say that you won't give rewards?"
.”
"That's right. An alchemist who can detoxify finished elixirs will come here to participate in your little event?"
"You're laughing so hard. It seems I have to publicize it to my colleagues when I go out. The Alchemist Association of the Hidden Moon Sect is also a master who likes to cheat."
Although Yu Guimiao, who was at the front of the crowd, didn't know why everyone was so angry when she helped detoxify the pill, she knew that her senior brother must have been treated unfairly, so she raised her hand and shouted.
"That's right, that's right!"
Hearing Yu Guimiao's voice in the crowd, Jiang Beiran suddenly frowned and glanced towards them.
'Hiss... why are these five golden flowers here?'
Jiang Beiran could be sure that they definitely did not follow him in, otherwise he would have discovered it long ago, so they could only have happened to be here when he was concentrating on refining the elixir just now.
'What a bad fate...'
And Jiang Beiran guessed that they must have recognized him, after all, he had not changed Minran's style.
'Let's make it in other styles next time.'
Pushing the box containing Biying Pill back in front of the steward, Jiang Beiran turned around and left.
Although the Xuanyang Immortal Grass is a little tempting, it is just a little tempting, and it is not worth the risk Jiang Beiran has taken.
"My little friend, please wait a moment."
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to walk out of the counter, an elderly man with a white beard pushed open the door and walked out and called out to Jiang Beiran.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Beiran asked without looking back.
"Actually, after passing the third level, this Xuanyang Immortal Grass is already yours, little friend. This fourth level is completely my personal wish. If it offends you, I would like to apologize to you."
Hearing that the other party's attitude was not bad, and the system did not pop up any more prompts, Jiang Beiran turned around and said: "It's not an offense, and you don't have to apologize. Can you give me this Xuanyang fairy grass now?"
"Of course, but before that, can you please come in and sit down?"
Seeing that the system still did not prompt, Jiang Beiran responded: "Okay, since it is an invitation from an elder, there is no reason for me to refuse."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards the people around him and said, "Thank you all for speaking up."
When the people around him heard this, they also raised their hands towards Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother, you're welcome. This is what you deserve."
Crossing his hands again, Jiang Beiran took out a few porcelain bottles from the Qiankun Ring and handed them to the steward and said: "Please help me distribute these Jade Dew Pills to the friends present. There should be enough."
"Gyokuro Maru!?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This was a second-grade elixir! I gave it away as promised, or gave away dozens of pills. This was a big deal!
Shocked, everyone quickly thanked Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother, you are so righteous! We will keep it in mind!"
Finally, he bowed his hands to everyone, and Jiang Beiran followed the old man into the inner hall.
"What a domineering person...he gave away dozens of second-grade elixirs casually, what a gesture."
"I finally understand what it means to be a true alchemy master. Second-grade elixirs are probably the same as jelly beans in other people's eyes."
"I'm convinced...whose master is this?"
Listening to a group of people praising their senior brother in various ways, Liu Zijin and the other five people became inexplicably proud, thinking to themselves: "No, senior brother is so tall that you can't imagine!"
…
The reason why Jiang Beiran did this was that he was really grateful to the onlookers outside. No matter what the purpose, they helped him publicly mock the Hierarchy, which can be regarded as righteousness.
The second is to show off your own skills, shock the industry association, and make them think about whether there is someone above them or there is an organization behind them, and don't treat him too much as a soft persimmon.
"Please take a seat."
Following the old man to a private room in the inner hall, the old man made an invitation gesture to Jiang Beiran and said.
"Please go first." Jiang Beiran politely replied.
Smiling and sitting back down, the old man picked up the teapot and said, "Do you like tea, little friend?"
Jiang Beiran nodded: "Yes, I like it."
"Haha, then you must try our Baiyue Sect's specialty White Moonlight. This tea is collected only once a year. It is very precious. I won't make it for ordinary people." The old man said as he took it out from the cabinet below.
A wooden carving box that looked very elegant at first glance was placed on the table.
He took out some tea leaves with white hair on them from the box and put them into the pot. While adding water, the old man introduced himself: "I am the vice president of the Alchemist Association. My surname is Qi and my given name is Wenlin."
"It turns out to be President Qi, disrespectful."
"It's the vice-president." Qi Wenlin shook the teapot and asked, "What do you call me, little friend?"
"President Qi, just keep calling me little friend."
Knowing that Jiang Beiran did not want to reveal his name, Qi Wenlin did not continue to ask questions. After brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Jiang Beiran and said, "Although I am wearing a mask, I have many years of experience in knowing people. From what I can see, you are nothing more than...
At such a young age, he is already capable of refining elixirs, which is really to be feared."
"President Qi is so complimentary, but it's just some minor tricks."
"Hahaha, it's a good thing for young people to be modest." Qi Wenlin poured himself another cup of tea and asked, "I wonder where my little friend learned from you?"
"My master is a hermit. His disciples are not allowed to reveal his name outside. I ask for your forgiveness, President Qi."
"I understand, I understand, come on, try this tea first. It won't taste good when it gets cold?"
Jiang Beiran nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"How?" Qi Wenlin asked.
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly and replied: "Just so so."
"puff……"
Qi Wenlin took a sip of tea and almost spit it out.
"Ahem." After adjusting his posture and returning to his previous temperament, Qi Wenlin said with a smile: "It seems that I drink good tea all the time, so I'm showing off my shame."
"I'm sorry, President Qi, I'm quite straightforward when it comes to speaking. If I say something wrong later, please forgive me and argue with me."
Qi Wenlin, who suddenly understood what Jiang Beiran meant, nodded slightly, "My little friend is quite a wonderful person."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I wonder what President Qi wants to see me for?"
"Since my friend asked, let me tell you straight away. Have you ever joined any alchemist guild?"
"No, but I don't plan to join your association either."
Qi Wenlin, who had just been choked once, was somewhat prepared now, but he still didn't expect Jiang Beiran to refuse so decisively. He blocked the road before he even opened his mouth.
"It's okay. Let's just make friends. If you have any needs in the future, you can cooperate more with our colleagues."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran said: "In one month, it will be my master's birthday. I would like to give him a big gift. If President Qi can help me, I will be very grateful."
"You should be filial to your master. Of course I will fully support my little friend's filial piety. I wonder what I want to give you?"
"Tianluoding."
"puff……"
Qi Wenlin, who had just recovered a little, almost spit out another mouthful of tea.
"Tianluo Cauldron? Since you know the name of this cauldron, you should know its origin, right?"
"of course I know."
A hundred years ago, an extraterrestrial meteorite hit Qizhou, and was later built into nine-mouth cauldrons by a powerful man, and this Tianluo cauldron was one of them.
Legend has it that the cauldron was originally called Baoluo Ding, which meant that it was all-encompassing and could be used to refine anything. But later, the great master felt that Baoluo Ding was too unpleasant and thought that its materials came from outside the world, so he renamed it Tianluo Ding.
This nine-mouth cauldron later became a recognized treasure tripod in the world of alchemists. It is rumored that using it to refine elixirs not only gets twice the result with half the effort, but also can refine the nine-marked divine elixir that only this nine-mouth cauldron can refine.
Infinite power.
"That little friend is really joking, or...does it mean that little friend knows where Luo Ding is today?"
"I don't know." Jiang Beiran shook his head.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Qi Wenlin cupped his hands and said, "Then please forgive me for being unable to do anything."
Feeling that the topic would become more and more strange if the kid in front of him continued to lead it away, this time Qi Wenlin took the lead and said: "But when it comes to furnace cauldrons, there is a very good one in our industrial association. If I
If you are interested, I can take you to see it."
"Of course that's the best." After Jiang Beiran said that, he stood up directly.
"Haha, my little friend is really impatient. Okay, let's go take a look first."
Taking Jiang Beiran out for a trip, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh that this industry is really big and full of twists and turns.
Finally, they came to a room that had not yet opened the door. Jiang Beiran knew that it was the alchemy room because the scent of the medicine was too strong.
Opening the door, Jiang Beiran followed Qi Wenlin and walked in.
"There are many members in your association." Jiang Beiran glanced inside and said.
"Oh, they are all disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran followed Qi Wenlin to a small room at the back of the hall.
Taking out the key and opening the door, Jiang Beiran's eyes were attracted by the emerald green tripod inside without waiting for Qi Wenlin's introduction.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's interest, Qi Wenlin didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
Feeling the material of the cauldron with his hands, Jiang Beiran was pleasantly surprised and said, "I didn't expect that your association would have such a good thing as the peacock cauldron. It really opened my eyes."
"My little friend can tell at a glance that this is a peacock cauldron. It's so insightful."
"Master taught me how to recognize a tripod before, and I memorized a lot of it."
If the cauldron is divided into nine grades, and the cauldron Jiang Beiran is using now is a grade three, then this peacock cauldron is a grade four. If it is used to refine medicine, the temperature in the furnace will be extremely high, and some medicinal materials that are difficult to purify can be burned into a liquid state.
Just like the Soul Infant Fruit.
'What an unexpected bonus.'
Jiang Beiran was originally planning to get a better cauldron when he returned, but he didn't expect it to be delivered to his door so quickly.
"Are you satisfied, little friend?"
“Satisfied, very satisfied.”
"As long as you are satisfied, if you can do me a favor, little friend, I will give you this cauldron as a reward."
[Option 1: Promise to Qi Wenlin. Completion reward: Rising Sun Palm (Mid-grade Mysterious Level)]
[Option 2: Ask what help you need. Completion reward: Bailianyin (yellow level top grade)]
[Option 3: Reject directly. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'Oh? Here we go again.'
The reason why Jiang Beiran never followed the routine when talking to Qi Wenlin was because judging from the option just triggered, he would get into trouble if he exposed too much strength in front of President Qi.
I wanted to pretend to be an outsider and fool him, but I didn't expect that this person would still push me into a trap.
However, Jiang Beiran was also a little reluctant to give up the opportunity to trade with President Qi. After all, this kind of opportunity is too rare!
It’s not that the Peacock Cauldron is rare, but it’s that people who can chat for a long time before triggering the option are rare. In the past few years, as long as they discussed cooperation with Jiang Beiran, there were basically few good people, and as soon as they opened their mouth, they would immediately reach Xuan level or above. of difficulty.
As a result, Jiang Beiran could only ask Gu Qinghuan to help him "go through fire and water", but he had to use it sparingly. He must not be allowed to sell fourth-grade elixirs and top-grade weapons, otherwise no matter how clever he was, he would not be able to escape. He was chased by masters who were several realms better than him.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "No, I don't like this way of trading."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
‘Refuse again!?’
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Beiran's potential was so great, Qi Wenlin would have called the guards to kick him out. This was because he didn't want to suffer any losses at all. How could there be such talk of cooperation.
But after thinking about the fact that Jiang Beiran had the strength of a fourth-grade alchemist at a young age, coupled with his hidden master, Qi Wenlin still suppressed his anger and asked: "Then what kind of trading method do you like? "
"Exchange of equal value."
After speaking, Jiang Beiran took out a basket of two bottles, one black and one black, from the Qiankun Ring, and took out two elixirs each with a swirling elixir pattern, placed them in the palm of his hand and handed them to Qi Wenlin.
"What do you think of these two elixirs, President Qi?"
Qi Wenlin took a closer look, smelled it again, and then said in surprise: "Yuchan Pill and Poxuan Pill!"
At this moment, Qi Wenlin's image of the master behind Jiang Beiran was much higher, because these two elixirs could only be produced by a fifth-grade alchemist, and they had to be very experienced ones. He really didn't believe Jiang Beiran. He can refine it at this age, so he is very sure that these two pills must have been given to him by his master.
"President Qi has great foresight. It is these two elixirs. Are you interested?"
"If you want to exchange these two elixirs for the Peacock Cauldron, I'm afraid..."
"No, how about two Yu Chan Pills and two Po Xuan Pills each?"
