15.Chapter 15: Apprenticeship?
"Senior Brother Hao, I'm really not sure that I can refine the Shunqi Pill, so you'd better find someone else. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info," Xu Shangao said with a bitter face.
The red-robed young man Hao Rulong snorted, and said in a cold tone: "I'll look for you today, then I'll leave it here, three days later, I'll come to get the pill, if you can't refine it, don't blame me for being polite." ”
After speaking, this Hao Rulong turned around and left, without even looking at Fang Lin.
Hao Rulong left, Xu Shangao's expression became more and more depressed, and when he saw Fang Lin, he could only smile reluctantly.
Fang Lin asked, "What's going on, who was that person just now?"
Xu Shan said: "It's Hao Rulong, the official disciple of the Martial Sect, he came to me to refine a furnace of Shunqi Pill for him, but where can I refine it, this is obviously making things difficult for me." ”
Fang Lin thought for a moment and nodded, "It turned out to be an official disciple of the Martial Sect, no wonder he looked like he was above the top. ”
Xu Shangao sighed and said: "Those formal disciples of the Martial Sect often come to us formal disciples to refine the pill for them, which is a good thing, but in the past few years that I have become a formal disciple, I have only refined the pill twice for the disciples of the Martial Sect, and they are all relatively low-level pills, there is no difficulty, but this Hao Rulong just wants me to refine the Shunqi Pill, which is obviously to embarrass me." ”
After Xu Shangao's detailed explanation, Fang Lin also understood that the official disciples of the Martial Sect would often come to the official disciples of the Dan Sect for alchemy, and of course, they also needed to pay the disciples of the Dan Sect some remuneration, and this kind of transaction-like behavior was already a tradition in the Dan Sect and the Martial Sect.
The more alchemy commissions he accepts, the greater the fame of this person in the Dan Sect, but to refine the Dan for the disciples of the Martial Sect, he must have a solid alchemy technique, like Xu Shangao, an inferior disciple, refining some simple pills is okay, like the Shunqi Pill, which is already close to a good pill, he is not capable of refining it.
Hao Rulong just asked Xu Shangao to refine the Shunqi Pill for him, which was obviously a difficult meaning, and when Xu Shangao couldn't refine the Shunqi Pill after three days, then Hao Rulong could make a big publicity, and then Xu Shangao would not only be looked down upon by the official disciples of the Dan Sect, but also despised by the official disciples of the Wu Sect, even if Xu Shan was promoted at a high level in the future, no one would come to him for alchemy.
Fang Lin looked at Xu Shangao strangely and said, "Senior brother, have you offended someone?"
Xu Shangao was stunned, then thought of a person, and suddenly said with an angry face: "It must be that Lin Xu! He lost to me in the gambling fight that day, he must have a grudge, he must have invited Hao Rulong to embarrass me, just to make me lose face!"
Fang Lin nodded, then smiled, "Then how is Senior Brother Xu going to deal with it?"
When Xu Shangao heard this, he hung his head again and said, "What else can I do? I can't refine the Shunqi Pill at all now, and I can only be humiliated when the time comes." ”
Fang Lin pursed his lips and said, "Senior Brother Xu doesn't look at who I am, will it make you humiliated?"
When Xu Shangao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Fang Lin's shoulders with both hands, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw.
"Senior Brother Fang, you can refine the Shunqi Pill, you have to help Senior Brother I. Xu Shangao pleaded.
Fang Lin smiled and said, "Aren't there still three Shunqi Pills I gave to Senior Brother Xu?
Xu Shangao looked slightly embarrassed, and said, "I have eaten one of the three, and the remaining two are not enough to count." ”
After speaking, Xu Shangao looked at Fang Lin pitifully, and begged: "Senior Brother Fang, my good junior brother, for my sake of being so pitiful, help me refine another furnace of Shunqi Pill, Senior Brother, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Fang Lin slapped Xu Shangao's hand away angrily, and pouted: "Others didn't look for me to refine the pill, they were looking for you, you better refine it yourself." ”
Xu Shangao was about to cry, and said, "But I can't practice, junior brother, you can do it, for the sake of our difficult brothers, help senior brothers again." ”
Seeing Xu Shangao's pitiful appearance, Fang Lin stopped teasing him and said, "It's naturally okay to help you, but I will leave in six months, and if someone comes to embarrass you again, what should I do?" I'll help you this time, but you also have to work hard to study the art of alchemy, and I'll try to make you improve a little within six months." ”
Hearing this, Xu Shan was overjoyed and thanked Fang Lin for his kindness.
Fang Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this nonsense, you can apprentice." ”
Xu Shangao was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and his expression was extremely exciting.
Fang Lin's face was solemn, without the slightest hint of joking.
"Senior Brother Fang, what are you talking about?" Xu Shangao thought he had heard something, and asked cautiously.
"Apprentice. Fang Lin said briefly and forcefully.
Xu Shangao's face was strange, and he said, "Senior brother, there is no need to apprentice, right? I am also your senior brother." ”
Fang Lin glanced at Xu Shangao, didn't speak, and walked directly into the alchemy room, locking Xu Shangao outside.
Xu Shangao waited anxiously for two hours, only to see Fang Lin push the door out, holding a jade bottle in his hand, and threw it in Xu Shangao's hand.
"I've already refined the pill for you, you can figure it out for yourself, I will leave in six months, it's all up to you. After Fang Lin finished lazily, he returned to his room.
Xu Shangao looked at the jade bottle in his hand blankly, and subconsciously opened the cork to take a look, only to see that there were eight mellow pills in the bottle, exuding a fragrance.
Xu Shangao closed the cork, hesitated in his heart, and after a while, Xu Shangao gritted his teeth and came to the door of Fang Lin's room.
"Disciple Xu Shangao, meet the master!" Xu Shangao said solemnly, and then knelt in front of Fang Lin's door.
Fang Lin's door opened, and when he saw Xu Shangao kneeling with a serious face, he grinned and said, "Senior brother, why are you so serious? I'm just joking." ”
“・・・”
Xu Shangao almost didn't jump up from the ground, are you joking like this? Lao Tzu is mentally prepared, and you are joking when you kneel?
Seeing Xu Shangao's cannibalistic look, Fang Lin knew that he must have been extremely depressed in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, a jade slip fell into Xu Shangao's hands.
"This is the alchemy experience given to me by Elder Mu Yan, I don't need it, so I will give it to you, Senior Brother, I hope Senior Brother will benefit from it. Fang Lin said.
After thinking about it, Fang Lin took out another book and handed it to Xu Shangao, and said, "This is what Zhao Dengming's old guy lost to me during today's Dantan lecture, and I also gave it to Senior Brother." ”
Xu Shangao held the jade slip in one hand and the ancient book in the other, and his expression was very exciting.
"This, this, how can I ask for this?" Xu Shangao shook his head and said.
Fang Lin smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't excuse me, these things are useless to me, but Senior Brother is very useful, after all, I can only be here for six months, with these two things, Senior Brother wants to be able to impact the middle disciple." ”
When Xu Shangao heard this, he no longer shirked, and put away the two things with an excited face.
As a low-level disciple of Xu Shangao, he was not qualified to enter the Dan Pavilion to read those Dan Dao books, let alone get an elder's alchemy experience, Fang Lin's two gifts were as heavy as Mount Tai for Xu Shangao.
"Senior brother, you are really my lucky star!" After Xu Shangao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to go back to the alchemy room to study the art of alchemy.
Fang Lin closed the door and locked the door, preparing to take the Shunqi Pill to raise his realm to the triple level of human yuan.
Although in the Dan Sect, alchemy is the most important thing, but the realm cannot be ignored, only when the realm is reached, can you have the confidence to do anything.
The cultivation of the double level of human yuan, among the disciples of Dantong, is considered to be very poor, such as Kang Lu, a leader of Dantong, according to rumors, has reached the sixth level of human yuan, but what it is, only Kang Lu himself and a few people know.
Even Lu Xiaoqing has the realm of the human element quadruple, because Fang Lin's realm is low, Lu Xiaoqing often makes fun of him.
"The three Qi Nourishing Pills should be able to be promoted to the Triple Human Yuan, but I have cultivated the Nine Ding Tongtian Decision, and I must devour the Dan Ding to improve the realm, but it is more troublesome. While cultivating, Fang Lin secretly said in his heart.
The Qi Nourishing Pill turned into a clear stream, flowing rapidly in Fang Lin's body, making Fang Lin feel very comfortable.
"Alas, this feeling of cultivating from scratch is really not good, if I am still in the Dansheng Palace, just two pills can make my realm advance by leaps and bounds. Fang Lin sighed in his heart, recalling the bits and pieces of the Dansheng Palace in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, Fang Lin was still cultivating in the house, but Hao Rulong, who had been here three days ago, had come early in the morning.
"Xu Shangao, the Shunqi Pill I want, have you refined it?" Hao Rulong said indifferently.
Hao Rulong is a disciple of the Martial Sect, and his strength is not weak among the disciples of the Martial Sect, so he naturally looks down on a disciple of the inferior Danzong like Xu Shangao.
If it weren't for Lin Xu's heavy profits, he Hao Rulong would not have come to make things difficult for Xu Shangao.
"Xu Shangao, Xu Shangao, you offended Lin Xu, he came to me, but I can't blame it. Hao Rulong sneered in his heart, as if he expected that Xu Shan Gao would not be able to refine the Qi Cultivation Pill.
Who knew that Xu Shan was calm and relaxed, without saying a word, he directly took out a bottle of elixir.
"The pill is here, Senior Brother Hao is going to take it. Xu Shangao smiled lightly.
Hao Rulong looked shocked, took the pill with some suspicion, opened it and saw that it was indeed a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill.
"It's really strange, according to what Lin Xu said, it is absolutely impossible for this Xu Shangao to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill, but what is the matter with this bottle of elixir? Could it be that this Xu Shangao is deeply hidden?" Hao Rulong was a little surprised, the words he had originally thought of were completely useless, and his face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Hao? Could it be that the pill is not satisfied?" Xu Shangao said deliberately.
Hao Rulong snorted, took the pill and turned around to leave.
"What's the matter, Senior Brother Hao won't pay me?" Xu Shangao called Hao Rulong to stop.
Hao Rulong turned around and glared at Xu Shangao, and said with some embarrassment: "I forgot to bring it today, and I will make it up for you tomorrow." ”
