Chapter 23 Named Disciple
Liu Weimao's eyes seemed to be burned by the golden pattern. He squinted and looked closely, not missing any detail.
A full quarter of an hour later, he let out a long sigh: "What a top-quality elixir! I, Liu Weimao, have been refining elixirs for hundreds of years. I have refined hundreds of thousands of elixirs, but I have never refined a top-quality elixir. From this point of view alone, you are stronger than me."
He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I have never accepted a disciple in these decades. Are you willing to join my sect and learn the art of alchemy?"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers all showed expressions of envy. This was simply a step to the sky. A small Qi Condensation Level 1 person could directly gain the favor of the great elder of the Alchemy Palace and become his disciple. This was truly amazing. luck.
Logically Zhan Nianchuan should be very pleasantly surprised, but for some reason he had a bad feeling and hesitated for a moment.
While Zhan Nianchuan was thinking about it, Liu Weimao became unhappy.
He is the great elder of the Alchemy Hall, and his status is respected. There are so many people who want to be his disciples. I thought that after he said the words of accepting Zhan Nianchuan as his disciple, the other party would be extremely ecstatic and immediately talk about it. promise. What he never expected was that the other party actually looked struggling and hesitant, and hesitated to express his position. This made him very angry and his eyes became gloomy.
Zhan Nianchuan was stared at by him, and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He knew that he couldn't refuse, and his thoughts were spinning, so he had to salute respectfully.
"The disciples meet the master."
Liu Weimao nodded slightly, "Not bad, good disciple. Let me see your qualifications." After saying that, he grabbed Zhan Nianchuan's arm.
Zhan Nianchuan was shocked, but relieved. With his rubbish qualifications, he would never look down on this old guy.
Just when he thought his apprenticeship would not be successful, he heard Liu Weimao's praise.
"My disciple can refine the best elixir at such a young age. It's really impressive."
Hearing this, Zhan Nianchuan understood in his heart that this master was obviously interested in his top-quality elixir and wanted to legitimately take it for himself.
The situation was stronger than his own, so Zhan Nianchuan had no choice but to hold the best elixir in both hands and offer it to Liu Weimao.
Liu Weimao was very happy to get the elixir. He looked at Zhan Nianchuan kindly and said: "Very good, from now on you are my registered disciple, Liu Weimao, and this bottle of high-quality Yunling elixir will be regarded as a meeting gift for the master. "After that, he threw a jade bottle to Zhan Nianchuan.
Zhan Nianchuan took the jade bottle and bowed respectfully to Liu Weimao to thank him. He seemed to be overjoyed.
The other disciples present were filled with envy when they saw a whole bottle of middle-grade spirit-accumulating pills, and their eyes gleamed. The middle-grade Spirit-enriching Pill is very valuable and has a very good effect on promoting cultivation. He looked at Zhan Nianchuan with strange eyes, wishing that he was the one who received the pill.
Feeling the hot gazes of everyone present, Zhan Nianchuan smiled bitterly in his heart. His purpose was just to become a first-class alchemist and get rid of his status as a handyman. But surprisingly, a top-quality elixir was refined, which aroused the covetousness of the two elders.
"Hmph, after knowing that I have the qualifications of Five Spiritual Roots, I agreed to accept him as a disciple and became a registered disciple. A bottle of medium-grade spirit-accumulating pills was exchanged for my top-grade pills. This guy is really good at calculating."
Despite all the reluctance in his heart, Zhan Nianchuan still had to hold his nose and admit it. He had no choice but to call him just a small Qi Condensation-level handyman. Besides, he had already offended an inner disciple. If he offended a high-ranking elder of the Dan Palace again, he would no longer have to hang out in the Xuantian Sect.
"You have to work hard and don't lose your prestige as a teacher. When you enter the later stage of Qi Condensation, I will naturally take you to my place and accept you as an official disciple." Liu Weimao told Zhan Nianchuan in a pleasant tone.
"Okay, Master." Zhan Nianchuan said to his heart that this master really knows how to act, and he still accepted it honestly on the surface.
Liu Weimao looked at the sky and said, "Okay, it's getting late. I've gone back to practice as my master. You should all go your separate ways." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back of the palace.
Everyone dispersed one by one, and Zhan Nianchuan also left quickly. On the way, he covered the alchemist's robe with handyman clothes and returned to his residence.
After packing up everything in the stone house, Zhan Nianchuan put all the handyman supplies into the handyman's pocket and walked into the handyman's office.
Jiang Zheng, who was immersed in reading the book, raised his head. When he saw it was Zhan Nianchuan, he snorted coldly, stood up, and scolded sternly, "Why don't you go fetch water these days? Don't even think about your contribution this month. Get it!”
After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and urged: "Since you have not completed this month's task, hurry to Yunlong Peak. You will arrive within today."
Seeing that Zhan Nianchuan had no reaction after hearing his words, but looked at him coldly, Jiang Zheng was furious and said solemnly: "You don't have ears? Do you want me to say it again?"
"If you had eyes, you would see clearly." Zhan Nianchuan took off his handyman clothes and revealed the alchemist's robe underneath.
Seeing the silver five-pointed star on Zhan Nianchuan's chest, Jiang Zheng's pupils shrank and he stood up suddenly, almost overturning his chair.
He looked at Zhan Nianchuan, his face full of disbelief, "You...you are a first-grade alchemist."
Zhan Nianchuan felt very happy and said coldly: "Of course, and he is also a disciple of Elder Liu Weimao."
Hearing these words, Jiang Zheng's expression kept changing, and finally he greeted him enthusiastically, taking the handyman's bag handed over by Zhan Nianchuan with both hands, his face full of flattery, and his attitude as respectful as possible.
"Senior Brother Zhan, you're here to go through the formalities, right? I'll get it done for you right away. I've long seen that you're extremely talented and will definitely soar to the sky. Who knows, but I still underestimated Senior Brother's strength. I'm really tall. What a pair of dog eyes.”
He had no doubts about what Zhan Nianchuan said, not to mention that the alchemy master's robe could not be faked, and daring to pretend to be an elder's disciple would be a capital offense. As for agreeing to Chen Dong to transfer Zhan Nianchuan to Yunlong Peak, of course there are countless things that can be done. Now he is an alchemist, not a handyman, and his master is the grand elder of the alchemy hall, which is much better than the inner disciple behind you. .
"Senior brother, you are now an alchemy master. I wonder if I can provide you with materials. If you have time, can you help me refine one or two elixirs?" Jiang Zheng smiled brightly.
Zhan Nianchuan pretended to be thoughtful. When Jiang Zheng showed an anxious look, he slowly nodded in agreement, "Okay, but you have to provide enough materials."
"This is natural, natural." Jiang Zheng kept nodding. This is the unspoken rule of all alchemists. They must produce at least twice as many materials. This is one of the rewards paid to the alchemist.
"Besides, I have a friend Li Xiaoqiang..."
Before Zhan Nianchuan finished speaking, Jiang Zheng slapped his chest and said, "Senior brother's friends are my friends. I will let him choose from all the tasks in the handyman department."
Having achieved his goal, Zhan Nianchuan felt relieved, said a few words casually, and left.
