The first volume debuts Chapter 52 Question!
Chen Wei looked at Li Xuanfeng with reluctance and envy. He was still working hard to become a third-level alchemist, and he didn't know if there was any hope in this life. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanfeng directly became a quasi-elder, which was an existence beyond the third-level alchemist.
Seeing Zhou Tian and others give Li Xuanfeng such a high status, Ouyang Shan finally realized the difficulty of refining a perfect elixir. Li Xuanfeng was so valued by Zhou Tian and others because he refined a perfect Lingji elixir across levels. She was very envious of Li Xuanfeng's aptitude for refining elixir, and wanted to find him to study the techniques of refining elixir together if there was a chance.
In this way, Li Xuanfeng became the quasi-elder of the Pill Pavilion, and Zhou Tian gave him a small superior pill furnace. Quasi-elders can enjoy preferential treatment in the Pill Pavilion. They can take a certain amount of herbs from the Pill Pavilion for free to make pills, and only need to give half of the refined pills to the Pill Pavilion. They can also get priority in purchasing herbs and sell pills at a high price in the Pill Pavilion.
Li Xuanfeng finally learned from Ouyang Danqing that Chen Cang came to the Pill Pavilion to collect the herbs when he went to the Trading Pavilion to buy them last time. What attracted Li Xuanfeng the most was the pill furnace and the free herbs for alchemy , as he was in need of resources for alchemy.
When the alchemy room was opened, the disciples who were watching saw everyone coming out. They did not see a trace of ridicule towards Li Xuanfeng on Chen Wei's face, only a strong sense of unwillingness, and even kept their heads down in silence. What shocked them even more was that the Pavilion Master who had hurried into the alchemy room before was now calling Li Xuanfeng "Elder Li". They could not imagine what happened in the alchemy room at all.
Li Xuanfeng did not leave directly. After bidding farewell to Zhou Tian and several elders, Li Xuanfeng came to an alchemy room again to refine pills. He wanted to use the resources of the Alchemy Pavilion to refine some pills. Ouyang Shan followed Li Xuanfeng to the alchemy room out of curiosity and her grandfather's order, and took care of Li Xuanfeng's needs for herbs.
After the Pavilion Master and the elders left, the disciples who were watching dared to find Chen Wei to ask. In the end, Chen Wei, who was annoyed, finally told the truth, saying that Li Xuanfeng had become the quasi-elder of the Pill Pavilion.
"What? Quasi-elder!" The onlookers could not help but scream out loud. Becoming an elder was something they had always dreamed of. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanfeng, who was previously thought to have very poor aptitude for alchemy, actually made a leap and directly became a quasi-elder, skipping the previous three levels of alchemists.
Chen Wei, who was already in a very bad mood due to the severe blow, would not tell them in detail what happened in the alchemy room. He chose to leave the Alchemy Pavilion directly, leaving behind a group of onlookers who were making wild guesses.
In the alchemy room, Li Xuanfeng asked Ouyang Shan to bring a large amount of medicinal herbs, all of which were used to refine spiritual elixirs and body-building spiritual liquids.
Ouyang Shan took it with a smile. Although she felt a little emotional, Li Xuanfeng's status was higher than hers now, and she had accepted her grandfather's order, so she had to serve Li Xuanfeng.
Li Xuanfeng took out the alchemy furnace Zhou Tian gave him. It was a purple-gold alchemy furnace, made of purple gold. Ouyang Shan was a little jealous when she saw this alchemy furnace. It was the purple-gold furnace ranked ninth on the Xuanling Sect's alchemy furnace list. You know, the top alchemy furnaces are all in the hands of the elders, and her goal is to become an elder and get one of them.
I didn't expect Li Xuanfeng to get it so easily, and it was given to him by the Pavilion Master himself. Her alchemy furnace was only among the top 20, and was given to her by her grandfather. Although it was not bad, it was still far behind the purple gold furnace.
More than an hour later, Li Xuanfeng refined ten Lingji Pills, only two of which were top grade, and the other eight were all of perfect quality. This made Ouyang Shan's beautiful eyes widen. She didn't expect that Li Xuanfeng's chance of refining a perfect Lingji Pill was so high.
Then, Li Xuanfeng began to refine the body-building spiritual liquid. Ouyang Shan couldn't help but feel sorry for the herbs. She had refined this body-building spiritual liquid before, and she consumed a lot of herbs, but only refined a few drops.
But when she saw Li Xuanfeng refine it, she had completely accepted that Li Xuanfeng had become a quasi-elder. Li Xuanfeng had already had a high success rate when refining directly with flames before, and after using the purple gold furnace, it was further improved to a level that Ouyang Shan found incredible.
Ouyang Shan had to admit that Li Xuanfeng's alchemy skills had completely surpassed hers. This was when Li Xuanfeng's cultivation was only at the level of the Perfect Rong Ling Realm.
After half a were consumed by Li Xuanfeng, and refined into more than 100 drops of body-building spirit liquid. However, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought that half of them had to be handed over to the Pill Pavilion.
"Senior Sister Ouyang, can you get me some more herbs?" Li Xuanfeng asked cautiously, worried that Ouyang Shan would refuse.
Ouyang Shan gave Li Xuanfeng a big look, then turned and left the alchemy room. When she came back again, she brought some herbs, but only half of what she had last time.
"Senior Sister Ouyang, why did you get so little this time?" Li Xuanfeng asked with confusion.
"Do you really think that our Alchemy Pavilion is a wealthy man with endless resources?" Ouyang Shan's voice suddenly became louder and she was extremely angry.
"Even if you become a quasi-elder, there are restrictions on the use of medicinal herbs. You can only use so many for free in a month. If you want more, buy them with spirit stones!" Ouyang Shan then explained, and stretched out a jade hand towards Li Xuanfeng, with her palm facing up, asking Li Xuanfeng to give her the spirit stones.
"Then I take back what I said just now." Li Xuanfeng, whose storage bag was empty of spirit stones, shrank his head awkwardly and said in a low voice.
Then Li Xuanfeng continued to refine the body-building spiritual liquid, and refined dozens of drops again, adding the previous ones to a total of one hundred and eighty drops.
Before leaving, Ouyang Shan withheld half of the refining results. Li Xuanfeng was heartbroken and was thinking, "I seem to have become a free refining tool for the Pill Pavilion. Did this quasi-elder get fooled?"
Although Ouyang Shan didn't say anything on the surface, she was actually in a state of shock when Li Xuanfeng was refining the pill. Li Xuanfeng's success rate in refining the pill was much higher than hers.
Although Li Xuanfeng spent a lot of herbs on refining, his refining probability was too high. Even if the Alchemy Pavilion only collected half of it, the value was enough to buy the herbs. The Perfect Spirit Base Pill was a rare pill, making it even more valuable.
After seeing Li Xuanfeng refining the elixir, Ouyang Shan discovered that she had many shortcomings. Her control over fire was completely no match for him, and her refining speed was also crushed by Li Xuanfeng.
The herbs brought to Li Xuanfeng this time were extremely large. Refining the Body Forging Spiritual Liquid consumes a lot of herbs, otherwise Li Xuanfeng would not have gone bankrupt last time refining fifty drops of Body Forging Spiritual Liquid. The herbs brought by the Pill Pavilion this time allowed Li Xuanfeng to refine 180 drops, which was enough to illustrate the quantity of herbs.
Li Xuanfeng's total time for refining the elixir this time was only one day, but Ouyang Shan thought it would take three days. Moreover, her success rate was not as high as Li Xuanfeng's, so she might only be able to refine a hundred drops of body-building spirit liquid.
After this, whenever Li Xuanfeng came to the Pill Pavilion to make pills, Ouyang Shan would personally receive him whenever she had time. This was no longer because of her grandfather's order, but because Ouyang Shan found that watching Li Xuanfeng make pills was very beneficial, so she decided to learn the skills of making pills. She wanted to become a third-level alchemist or even an elder as soon as possible, surpassing Li Xuanfeng, whose status was still higher than hers.
The news that Li Xuanfeng became the quasi-elder of the Pill Pavilion spread quickly throughout the Xuanling Sect, shocking countless people. In everyone's impression, the Pill Pavilion was not a place where status could be obtained by relying on connections. The hierarchy was extremely strict, and it was absolutely impossible to obtain a noble status without real talent.
After hearing this, Chen Cang could only sigh with infinite regret: "As I expected, Li Xuanfeng has become the associate elder of the Pill Pavilion. It seems that I may not be able to purchase the pills he refines in the future."
Because it was too unbelievable, Li Xuanfeng's becoming the quasi-elder of the Pill Pavilion caused dissatisfaction among many disciples. They questioned Li Xuanfeng's shameless use of the sect master's relationship to obtain the status of the quasi-elder of the Pill Pavilion.
The Medicine Pavilion directly took out two perfect Spiritual Base Pills refined by Li Xuanfeng and put them into the Trading Pavilion for auction, and told them that this was the reason why Li Xuanfeng became a quasi-elder. As a result, the voices of doubt decreased drastically, and they were all shocked by Li Xuanfeng's alchemy qualifications.
Finally, a word from Sect Leader Shen Hua made all these doubts disappear completely.
"If there is evidence that my disciples have indeed cheated, I will punish them severely. However, if there is no evidence, please do not slander my disciples, otherwise you will be punished according to the sect rules!"
