Chapter 152 Two copies of a first-grade elixir
Bao Xu looked at Li Caiwei’s confused look and asked with some confusion: “After Alchemist Song came back, didn’t he tell Fellow Daoist Li what he did at the Alchemy Alchemy Conference of the Alchemy Sect?”
“I haven’t said exactly what I did.”
Li Caiwei then remembered that when Song Jie came back, he just said that he stayed at the Alchemy Sect for a few more days because he participated in the “Elixir Discussion Conference” of the Alchemy Sect.
I haven’t really said what I did at the “Elixir Forum”.
The couple didn’t know much about alchemy, let alone being interested in it, so they didn’t ask any questions at the time.
At this time, listening to the words of Director Bao of Baodan Tower, it seemed that Song Jie had done something extraordinary at the “Elixir Forum”.
He has even become recognized as the second alchemy genius among the younger generation in Yunmozhou.
When Bao Xu heard this, he suddenly said: “No wonder Fellow Daoist Li doesn’t know, it turns out that Master Song didn’t tell you.
“This news has just reached our Xinyuefang City.”
“Oh?” Li Caiwei asked curiously, “What’s the news?”
Bao Xu chuckled and said: “According to the news from outside, your family’s Alchemist Song was at the Alchemy Alchemy Conference of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
“With his exquisite alchemy and fire skills, he defeated Mu Lingxuan of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect on the Dao Discussion Stage.”
Speaking of this, Bao Xu smiled again and continued: “Fellow Daoist Li is not an alchemist, so he may not know who Mu Lingxuan is.
“Mu Lingxuan is recognized as the number one alchemy genius among the younger generation in Yunmozhou.
“But such a genius in alchemy lost to your family’s Alchemist Song in the competition of alchemy and fire skills.
“Your family’s Alchemist Song is also known as the second alchemy genius in Yunmo Continent.”
“So powerful?” Li Caiwei felt a little unbelievable.
She really didn’t expect that Song Jie went to the Alchemy Sect and came back with such a big thing.
He did a big thing, but he didn’t say anything when he came back.
This is too outrageous! This kind of thing is not shown off. If it is hyped outside, the business inside the store will be better.
However, looking at the elixirs that Song Jie refined on weekdays, they didn’t seem to be of very high quality.
Although Li Caiwei doesn’t know how to make elixirs, she still knows the most basic qualities of elixirs, and she also knows what different qualities of elixirs mean.
If she remembered correctly, most of the elixirs that Song Jie refined and sold were of medium and high quality, and occasionally there were some of high quality.
This level of alchemy is quite impressive in a small place like Xinyuefang City.
But if you put it in the Danding Sect, one of the five major sects famous for alchemy, it would definitely not be enough.
Therefore, the news revealed by Bao Xu gave Li Caiwei a very unreal feeling.
She even wondered if there was something wrong with Bao Xu’s source of information.
Or the “Alchemist Song” who is the second alchemy genius is not the same “Alchemist Song” as the “Alchemist Song” in their family.
It’s not that she doesn’t want Song Jie to achieve such achievements, it’s just that Song Jie’s alchemy talent is quite good.
But it is only comparable to those wild alchemists in Xinyuefang City.
If you compare it with the alchemy geniuses of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, you can think about it with your toes, there is no comparison at all.
So, Li Caiwei confirmed to Bao Xu again: “Director Bao, are you sure that the ‘Alchemist Song’ who is the second genius in Yunmozhou you mentioned is the Alchemist Song named Song Jie in our Alchemy Pavilion?”
“Definitely, definitely, and definitely!” Bao Xu nodded solemnly and said: “Alchemist Song once also refined elixirs in our Baodan House for ten years. How could I admit the wrong person?”
Having said this, Bao Xu also sighed and continued: “To be honest, when I first got the news today, I couldn’t believe it.
“I thought there was something wrong with the news, but after I verified it in many ways, it was confirmed that there was indeed nothing wrong with the news.
“The one who defeated Mu Lingxuan with the elixir fire technique at the ‘Elixir Forum’ was indeed Song Jie, Alchemist Song.”
“They are competing in Dan Fire Technique, not alchemy?” Li Caiwei asked the question in her heart.
Bao Xu nodded and said: “Yes, they were just competing in the Dan Fire Technique.
“Fellow Daoist Li is not an alchemist, so he may not know.
“When we alchemists compete, we don’t only have the option of alchemy.
“As long as it’s related to alchemy, you can compete.
“It is said that at that time, Alchemist Song was competing with Mu Lingxuan in the alchemy fire technique.
“Moreover, I defeated Mu Lingxuan with the Qingming Youhuo I bought from our Baodan House.”
Speaking of this, Bao Xu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart again.
How could he not have expected that Song Jie, who was an ordinary person in the Baodan Tower, would actually bring him one surprise after another after leaving the Baodan Tower.
First, in the earliest “Popular Pill Competition”, Song Jie participated in the competition with Fan Dan, defeated a group of first-level alchemists, and won the first place in the competition.
Since then, Song Jie has been making great progress, creating one kind of first-class elixir after another.
Not only did he co-operate with others to open a store, he also sold Chongmai Dan on the day the store opened.
At that time, Bao Xu was already shocked by Song Jie’s rise.
Unexpectedly, after many years of silence, Song Jie would do something big again.
It’s still the kind of big event that makes everyone who knows Song Jie’s details dare not believe it.
In this regard, Bao Xu could only explain it as Song Jie was usually too low-key and actually secretly hid his true ability.
Perhaps, when Song Jie was working at Baodan Building, he deliberately behaved in an unremarkable manner and waited to be fired.
Bao Xu remembered that when Song Jie first came to Xinyuefang City, in order to have a living job, he directly signed a thirty-year long-term employment contract with Baodan Tower.
If Baodan Tower doesn’t fire him, Song Jie will have to wait for thirty years before he chooses to leave Baodan Tower.
After realizing this, Bao Xu didn’t think there was anything wrong with Song Jie’s behavior, let alone what he wanted to do to Song Jie.
After all, Song Jie’s status is now different from what it used to be.
Just as Bao Xu was sighing in his heart, Li Caiwei asked again: “Could it be that Mu Lingxuan is not very good at Dan Fire Technique?”
She still felt that it was a dream for Song Jie to defeat the top alchemy genius in Yunmozhou in the process of alchemy.
“This is impossible.” Bao Xu shook his head firmly.
Then he continued: “It is said that Mu Lingxuan refined a first-grade elixir of perfect quality when she was competing with others at the ‘Elixir Discussion Conference’.
“Fellow Daoist Li may not know how difficult it is for a first-level alchemist in the Qi refining stage to refine a first-level elixir of perfect quality.
“Mu Lingxuan can refine a first-grade spiritual elixir of perfect quality during the Qi refining period, which shows that her attainments in the elixir and fire technique must be extremely high.”
Speaking of this, Bao Xu took a breath and continued: “It is precisely because Mu Lingxuan refined the first-grade elixir of perfect quality.
“So, after she lost to Alchemist Song in the Alchemy and Fire Technique competition, she is still the number one alchemy genius in Yunmo Continent.
“If Alchemist Song also refined a first-grade elixir of perfect quality at the ‘Elixir Discussion Conference’.
“Perhaps, the title of Yunmozhou’s number one alchemy genius will change hands.”
After hearing what Bao Xu said, Li Caiwei slowly accepted the breaking news.
“I didn’t expect that Brother Song, like me, would be so low-key…
“I never knew that his alchemy skills have reached this level!”
Li Caiwei covered her mouth and smiled softly.
She was naturally very happy that Song Jie had such ability.
Bao Xu nodded in agreement and said, “Yeah, I didn’t expect that…
“It is said that in this ‘Elixir Discussion Conference’, many first-level alchemists came on stage to compete with Mu Lingxuan.
“The other first-level alchemists were all defeated by Mu Lingxuan’s unparalleled alchemy talent.”
“It seems that Mu Lingxuan is also very powerful!” Li Caiwei sighed.
The two of them were like this. After sighing for a long time about how awesome Song Jie was, Li Caiwei asked: “Manager Bao came to my Alchemy Pavilion today, and he didn’t just come to tell me the news, right?”
“Look at my memory. I was so excited when I talked that I almost forgot about the real thing.
“This incident has indeed had a great impact on me. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Li.”
Bao Xu laughed and said: “I came to visit today because I want to find Master Song.
“Our Baodan Tower plans to hold an alchemy competition in Xinyuefang City, and we want to invite Alchemist Song to be the referee.”
Hearing this, Li Caiwei suddenly said: “So that’s it, Alchemist Song is refining alchemy in the alchemy room right now.
“I don’t know if he has finished refining a batch of elixirs. Let me ask him for you.”
“Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Li.” Bao Xu bowed slightly to Li Caiwei and thanked her.
Li Caiwei waved her hand and said, “Director Bao, there is no need to be so polite.”
With that said, Li Caiwei turned around and walked towards the back hall of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Arriving at the door of Song Jie’s alchemy room, Li Caiwei knocked gently on the door, stood outside the door, and briefly explained Bao Xu’s purpose.
At this time, Song Jie had just finished refining a batch of elixirs. After hearing what Li Caiwei said standing outside the door, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
“Alchemy Competition…
“Ask me to be the referee…”
Song Jie rubbed his chin and muttered a few words thoughtfully.
Opening the door of the alchemy room, Song Jie looked at Li Caiwei and asked, “Is Manager Bao still in the store?”
“Waiting at the front store.” Li Caiwei nodded lightly.
Song Jie nodded and said, “Then let’s meet him in the reception room and ask my sister-in-law to bring Director Bao to the reception room.”
Just after saying this, Song Jie changed his words and said: “Forget it, I will do it myself.”
After that, Song Jie and Li Caiwei came to the front store of Danqi Pavilion.
As soon as Bao Xu saw Song Jie, his face was immediately filled with smiles.
“Alchemist Song, long time no see!” Unexpectedly, Master Song went to the Alchemy Sect some time ago, and when he came back, he was already the second alchemy genius in Yunmo Continent. “
The second alchemy genius in Yunmozhou? Song Jie was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
It seems that my performance at the “Elixir Forum” has spread to Xinyuefang City.
Unexpectedly, those who watched the competition that day actually gave me the title of “Yunmozhou’s second alchemy genius”.
Song Jie suddenly felt dumbfounded.
He didn’t have any objections to this title, but he was just a little surprised.
As his mind was spinning, Song Jie said humbly: “It seems that Manager Bao has heard about what happened at the ‘Elixir Forum’.
“I just beat Mu Lingxuan by chance. I don’t dare to claim the title of second alchemy genius.”
“Alchemist Song defeated Mu Lingxuan under the witness of many alchemists in Yunmo Continent. How can I not deserve this title?”
Bao Xu said with a serious face, as if Song Jie would become anxious if he wanted to be humble to him again.
Song Jie smiled and shook his head. He did not continue the topic and asked, “I heard that Manager Bao is here today and wants me to be the referee?”
“Yes.” Bao Xu nodded and said, “This is what happened…”
Just as Bao Xu was about to explain what happened, Song Jie interrupted him and said with a smile: “Let’s go to the back and talk.”
“That’s fine.” Bao Xu nodded and said nothing more.
So Song Jie took Bao Xu to the reception room in the back hall.
After both of them sat down, Bao Xu couldn’t wait to speak: “Our Baodan Tower plans to hold an alchemy competition in Xinyuefang City in one month.
“I hope that through this alchemy competition, we can screen out some good alchemy seedlings.
“Alchemist Song is now not only the first-level alchemist in our Xinyuefang City, but also the second alchemy genius in Yunmo Continent.
“If Alchemist Song is willing to serve as a referee for the alchemy competition, I believe there will be many people signing up to participate.”
Song Jie heard this and said calmly while making tea: “This competition is really good, it can mobilize the enthusiasm for alchemy in Xinyuefang City.
“It’s just that I signed a big deal a while ago, and I will be busy refining elixirs for a while.
“It may be a bit difficult to arrange the time.”
Bao Xu was also a good person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Song Jie’s words.
He immediately said with a smile on his face: “If Alchemist Song is willing to act as a referee, our Baodan Pavilion can give Alchemist Song two prescriptions of first-grade elixirs.
“There is no need for Alchemist Song to make an oath of heaven. Alchemist Song can handle the two first-grade alchemy prescriptions at will.
“Whether it’s a gift to others or a method of refining the elixir, it’s all fine.”
Now that Song Jie is also the owner of a shop, Bao Xu is not worried that Song Jie will leak the contents of the prescription at will.
He believes that Song Jie, who has been running a store for so long, should understand the unspoken rules of some industries.
Moreover, this reward was originally offered by the Lin family.
He just repeated the reward given by the Lin family.
When Song Jie heard what Bao Xu said about the reward, his heart immediately moved.
Although he now has mastered eight methods for refining first-grade elixirs, only four of them can be taught to others.
They are Mi Shen Wan, Chong Mai Dan, Xuanyang Dan, and Xuanyin Dan.
As for the Rejuvenation Pill and Fuling Pill, the pill prescription came from the Danding Sect, and Song Jie had made an oath of heaven at that time.
Even if he has proven that the Heavenly Dao Oath is invalid for him over the years, he cannot easily leak the Alchemy Sect’s recipe to others.
As for the Yuanyang Pill and the Lingyun Pill, the former is extremely effective, while the latter will cause people to misunderstand him.
They are not suitable for teaching others.
He recently planned to recruit several alchemy apprentices with good alchemy talents and spiritual root talents to prepare for his future development in Yunmiao City.
There are only four first-grade elixirs that can be used to teach others, which is indeed a bit too few.
Moreover, Chongmai Dan is one of those that is relatively difficult to refine.
If Chongmai Dan is excluded, then he only has three first-grade elixirs that he can teach others.
This kind of wealth is obviously not enough to gain a firm foothold in Yunmiao City in the future.
Therefore, when Bao Xu proposed, Baodan Tower could give him two prescriptions of first-grade elixirs without requiring him to make an oath of heaven.
Song Jie was immediately moved.
However, Song Jie, who was well versed in bargaining, understood that this remuneration was definitely not the bottom line that Baodan Tower could afford.
There is room for bargaining here.
Immediately, Song Jie thought about it for a while and said, “The reward given by Director Bao can really impress me.
“only……”
