Xi Qiangwei was a little worried. She felt that Master Yuan Xi was a very nice person. When he faced her, he did not have that disgusting look in his eyes, nor did he appear to be condescending and polite. But it's obvious that Master Li is angry. I'm afraid there won't be a good result today. Master Yuan Xi will be disappointed if he can't borrow the alchemy equipment, right?
Luo Guan turned his head and glanced at Xi Qiangwei, walked to the test stone and put his hand on it. The first gem lit up, then the second, and then the third. After a slight pause, the fourth gem lit up slowly but surely.
"Ah!" Xi Qiangwei exclaimed, subconsciously covering her mouth with a look of shock.
"What's wrong?" Li Shitong, who continued to read, raised his head in dissatisfaction. He heard a "clang", and the chair under him was knocked down due to the sudden rise.
The four gemstones inlaid on the test stone were flashing with light. In Li Shitong's eyes, they were so dazzling that they were about to turn into arrows that would shoot holes in his heart, making him feel so cold. …
Fourth grade!
He...is actually a fourth grade...
The test stone will never go wrong, which means that what he has been talking about just now is a fourth-level alchemy master! No, it wasn't just inner talk, he seemed to be showing impatience, sarcastic remarks, and a little ridicule... Li Shitong was sweating profusely, and his heart was filled with fear. Although he was indeed trying to break through to the fourth level, the reality was that the dawn was still far away.
Although he now has considerable power in Tianshu Pavilion, if he dares to offend a fourth-grade alchemist, it will be enough to knock him into the dust! This is the fourth rank. If you join the association, you can directly obtain the status of guest minister. If you pass the test, you will have the chance to be promoted to vice president... And Tianshu Pavilion is originally the industry of the association!
Remedy, I must remedy it.
Li Shitong rushed out from behind the desk, sweating profusely, "Li Shitong doesn't know the identity of Master Yuan Xi. He has been offensive and rude before. Please...please..."
Luo Guan stopped his hand, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Now, can I borrow the alchemy room?"
"Yes, yes, of course!" Li Shitong nodded repeatedly, "As a master, I can use Alchemy Room No. 1. I am willing to bear all the expenses for the master. Please give me this opportunity."
Luo Guan nodded, "Then let's go."
Li Shitong felt like he had been pardoned, his face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Master Yuan Xi, I will take you there right now!" This time, he personally led the two of them to the outside of Alchemy Room No. 1 in the eyes of countless people in shock.
Li Shitong opened the door and stepped aside.
Luo Guan walked into it, looked around and nodded, "Okay."
Li Shitong felt relieved. He was really worried about this big boss. He couldn't say another word, "Master Yuan Xi, do you have any other instructions?"
Luo Guan waved his hand, "Go down and don't let anyone disturb you."
"Yes, please rest assured, I will personally guard the outside." Li Shitong exited the door, bowed his head respectfully and waited until the door of the alchemy room was closed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
For the time being...passed!
The reason why I say temporarily is because as long as the big boss inside is willing, he can take out what happened today and recite a spell at any time.
Li Shitong was very distressed. He was usually begged by others, and he really had no experience in asking for mercy. How could he make Master Yuanxi let him go completely?
After confirming that there was no problem in Dan Room No. 1, Black Turtle took over control of the body and began to refine the Hundred Beast Dan. At the same time, the news that a fourth-grade alchemy master suddenly arrived in Tianshu Pavilion has spread like wildfire, attracting countless exclamations and attention.
Half an hour later, a big man came to the alchemy room area. Everyone who came and went looked shocked and stepped aside to bow.
Li Shitong saw the person coming clearly and saluted hurriedly, "Greetings to Vice President Liehuo!"
Liehuo is over fifty years old, with red hair and a tall body. "I heard that a fourth-grade fellow came today. Are you hosting him?"
His voice was so loud that it made people's ears hurt, and even the temperature in the air seemed to be a little more scorching. After all, in addition to being a senior fourth-grade alchemist, Vice-President Liehuo is also an extremely powerful martial artist in the Lingyun realm who practices fire-based techniques.
"Yes, Master Yuan Xi is being received by me. He is currently refining elixirs in Alchemy Room No. 1." Li Shitong spoke respectfully and briefly told the story. Of course, it was a slightly adjusted version. Then he said with a slight guilt: "You are not in retreat. Well, why did you come out?"
Li Huo said: "The alchemy failed, so I just came out." A flash of physical pain flashed in his eyes. He had been preparing for this furnace for a long time and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of gold on the materials alone. Unfortunately, he still failed. The realm of the fifth-grade alchemist seems to be right in front of you, but it is as hard to reach as the moon in the mirror.
He shook his head and continued: "The association has been around for a long time, and no new high-level alchemist has joined. The president is not in the imperial capital for the time being, so he asked me to come over and issue an invitation."
Li Shitong thought for a while, "Master Yuanxi has just been in for half an hour, and it will be a long time before he comes out. Why don't you go to the lounge first, Master Liehuo, and I will inform you immediately when Master Yuanxi comes out."
Liehuo nodded, "Okay, then I'll go..." His voice paused, with a look of surprise on his face.
Alchemy rooms No. 1 to 3 can be used by several vice-presidents, and their internal alchemy equipment and specifications are similar. Therefore, Liehuo knew the internal structure of Alchemy Room No. 1 very well. He just heard a slight movement, which seemed to be the sound of mechanical bearings rotating before the door was opened.
Sure enough, the door to Alchemy Room No. 1 slowly opened. Liehuo's expression was solemn, and he came out half an hour later. It seemed that the refining had failed, and he suddenly felt a little more confident in his heart.
This Yuanxi Master, who has a mysterious origin, has never appeared in the association's field of vision. It can be seen that he is a comrade who is obsessed with research. This time when I came to the imperial capital to borrow the alchemy room, I must have studied it to a certain extent and wanted to confirm my suspicion. Even thinking about it on his knees, this alchemy must be extremely important, and it might even cost him more.
Luo Guan stepped out and glanced at Li Shitong first. Seeing his demeanor, he knew clearly that the red-haired old man in front of him was an important figure in Tianshu Pavilion. Of course, the opponent's hidden super strong martial arts aura was as dazzling as a beacon!
"Master Yuanxi, this is Master Liehuo, the vice president of the Alchemist Association. I heard about your arrival and came here specially to meet you..."
Liehuo looked solemn and waved his hand to interrupt Li Shitong. As a fellow sufferer, he certainly knew how hard it was to accept a crucial alchemy failure and the blow to a high-level alchemist. Even he, Vice-President Liehuo, who was known for his tough character and steel-like will, took three full days to get over the pain of failure.
Therefore, Liehuo was very sure that this Yuanxi Taoist friend must be in a terrible mood now, and he was definitely not in the mood to listen to Xiao Li's Bibi.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "You and I are both fourth grade. We have gone through countless hardships and hardships to reach this point. We should have understood the truth that failure is the mother of success. This will only accumulate valuable information for us." Experience until final victory!”
"The loss of money... is indeed heartbreaking, but we are alchemists. As long as we work hard and refine alchemy more, we will get our wealth back sooner or later! So, fellow Taoist, don't be discouraged. When the sun rises as usual, we will be able to recover again." It’s a new day!”
Li Shitong felt deeply moved and inspired by the Vice President's speech. Alchemists of our generation must have this kind of optimism, open-mindedness, perseverance and unyielding will... Well, Vice President, when you mentioned money, were you gritting your teeth? Did I see it wrong? Well, I must have read it wrong!
Luo Guan looked at the impassioned fire and then at the excited Li Shitong, and couldn't help but said: "Who said I failed?"
Karma!
There was a hint of embarrassment in the air.
Li Shitong hurriedly lowered his head, tried hard to control his breath, and tried to be transparent. A thin layer of sweat quietly broke out on his forehead.
Vice-President Liehuo is known for his bad temper. Wouldn't he kill me to silence me?
"Succeeded?" The corner of Li Huo's mouth twitched. He glanced at Li Shitong and felt that Xiao Li would never dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
In other words, in just half an hour, the other party successfully refined it!
This kind of speed is only possible with some first- and second-grade low-level elixirs. But to refine such low-level elixirs, you still need to borrow the elixir room from Tianshu Pavilion? What’s more, the equipment doesn’t meet the requirements. After a lot of trouble, do you go into Alchemy Room No. 1 to practice?
This guy named Yuan Xi, could it be that after breaking through to the fourth level of alchemy master, he deliberately came to Tianshu Pavilion to play a show of sage in front of others, right?
Yes, it must be so!
Liehuo was speechless, how could there be such a boring person in the world - actually doing what he wanted to do but had no nerve to do!
"...That's really congratulations to Fellow Taoist Yuan Xi!" Liehuo's face was stiff.
Luo Guan nodded and looked at Li Shitong, "You'll bear the cost, right?" Seeing the other party's dull nod, he said with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave."
Pack! Then install it!
After all the hard work, are you really going to leave like this? Agni was disdainful of this!
But there is a fourth-grade alchemist that the association must not miss, so it has no choice but to act with him, "Fellow Taoist Yuanxi, please wait a moment. I am here today to represent the president and extend an invitation to you. I hope you can join the Imperial Capital Alchemist Association. "
Luo Guan pondered for a moment, "Is there any benefit?"
Li Huo's breath was stagnant, and his face fell silent.
Li Shitong quickly smoothed things over, "As Master Yuanxi, as long as you join the association, you can obtain the title of Great Guest and enjoy high-level privileges within the association, such as accessing alchemy tips submitted by association members, priority in obtaining alchemy materials, and trading in Tianshu Pavilion. Ultra-low discounts, if you encounter problems in daily life, the association will solve them for you..."
"Okay, I'll join!"
Li Shitong:......
When I mentioned my alchemy experience and materials, you had no reaction. Instead, you agreed immediately when you heard about the transaction discounts and the advice of the Association in case of trouble.
What a great character and image of a high-quality alchemist!
The roar in his heart could only be kept in his heart. Li Shitong respectfully helped Luo Guan register his simple information and reminded him that he had time to collect the jade identity card of the guest guest.
"Master Yuan Xi, if you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly. Xiao Li is willing to serve you." A third-grade peak alchemist would not easily run errands for others. Li Shitong did this to give Luo Guan face. I hope he can Completely forget about any unpleasantness.
Luo Guan glanced at him and said, "No, the little maid just now was fine. Let her be responsible for my affairs from now on."
"...Everything is as you wish."
When Luo Guan left, the sullen Vice-President Liehuo sneered, "Our new guest is really... interesting!" The word "weird" lingered on his lips, but he swallowed it, "He said Who is your little maid?"
"Back to the vice president, it's Xi Qiangwei."
