This system is so brutal

Chapter 164 Lu Chen's Obligation

When the news that Lu Chen became the master of alchemy spread throughout Xueyun Palace, even though his identity was questioned, it provided him with an absolute amulet.

In Xueyun Palace, no one wants to offend the Alchemist Association. Unlike the alchemy masters, the low-level alchemists will die when they die. But if all the alchemy masters are assassinated, it will definitely cause shock to Xueyun Palace and cause public outrage. .

Pills are still very important.

Originally, there were people who came to assassinate Lu Chen, but since he became the master of alchemy, no one came to trouble him again.

This made Lu Chen a little confused. He thought that after he revealed his identity as a master, a bunch of people were not convinced and wanted to find him for a real PK. As a result, a week passed quickly, and he didn't meet a single troublemaker.

Whether you are not convinced or not, people will still think rationally. A disciple in the consecration realm has won the title of alchemy master. No matter how you look at it, there are problems. It is precisely because of the problems that those who are not convinced dare not act rashly. The biggest cause of trouble for him.

After Lu Chen became a master of alchemy, he had to fulfill his obligations. In the following time, he had to patrol the alchemy area every once in a while. This is what a master of alchemy must do.

After returning from the ruins, he never returned to the alchemy area, which made Lu Chen feel very embarrassed, so he found a sunny day to patrol the alchemy area.

It is said to be patrolling, but it is actually wandering around wearing a badge, soliciting hatred everywhere.

Almost every alchemist who passed by Lu Chen greeted him superficially, and after they separated from him, they immediately talked about him, basically saying bad things about him.

There were a lot of gossips in Xueyun Temple, which came from those alchemists. Some said that Lu Chen was actually Shangguan Shanshan’s illegitimate son, and some said that he was Shangguan Shanshan’s baby boy. Jie gave Lu Chen the badge entirely because of Shangguan Shanshan.

Although rumors were flying everywhere, Lu Chen didn't try to correct him, he didn't care at all.

After Lu Chen walked into the alchemy area, he came to the alchemy place where he stayed last time.

As soon as he entered the alchemy room, he met He Dong and the others.

When He Dong and the others saw Lu Chen again, they had mixed feelings and mixed feelings.

Such a rookie disciple turned into their boss in a sudden change, which might be hard for anyone to accept.

He Dong was very upset. After he lost the bet with Wei Qiu, he kept thinking why this Lu Chen hadn't died for so long, but he didn't expect that this Lu Chen not only didn't die, but also became a celebrity in Xueyun Palace .

A master of alchemy in the consecration realm, I am afraid that there is no one who has come before. This guy has only come to Xueyun Palace for a few days, and he climbed on his head.

Is it so easy for the title of master of alchemy to come to him? He has been diligently refining alchemy in Xueyun Palace for decades, but he still doesn't have a title.

The appearance of Lu Chen made He Dong feel extremely unbalanced in his heart, but the other party is now a master of alchemy, so he can't show disrespect.

Lu Chen didn't attract hatred among the alchemists too much. He went back after wandering around in various alchemy rooms. To provoke those powerful figures, such as those faction leaders and the like.

Not long after Lu Chen left the alchemy area, Zhuge Mingjie sent someone to find Lu Chen and asked him to go to the Alchemist Association. Lu Chen was a little confused, what did the old man ask him for now?
After following the alchemist who was running errands to the Alchemist Association, Zhuge Mingjie asked all the alchemists in the hall to go out, and he wanted to have a private talk with Lu Chen.

After the door of the hall was closed, Zhuge Mingjie waved his hand and created a barrier outside the house.

"Elder, what do you want me for?" Lu Chen asked.

Zhuge Mingjie said with a smile: "Brother Lu Chen, who is your master? Who first taught you alchemy?"

Hearing this question, Lu Chen realized that this old guy was here to make a fool of himself, and he must also want to refine a elixir beyond the perfect level.

Lu Chen replied: "My master is a fairy, but he has already returned to the Holy Land."

"What, fairy?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Mingjie opened his squinted eyes.

After realizing that he was too excited, Zhuge Mingjie immediately calmed down, and then continued to ask: "Lu Chen, are you kidding me?"

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to joke about."

Seeing Lu Chen's confident look, Zhuge Mingjie thought to himself, no wonder this guy can refine such a good elixir, so he has an immortal master, so the last time he came to the association, he must have deliberately come to trouble the old man yes, this guy...

"Okay, then I'll trust you."

"When your master taught you alchemy, did he teach you a special alchemy method?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "No, I always rely on my own strength to make pills."

This……

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask about Lu Chen, Zhuge Mingjie immediately changed the subject.

"Recently, Xueyun Temple has added a group of new disciples, and the number of pills needed has increased tenfold. Although we can rely on formations for alchemy, only some of the pills can use special formations, and most of the pills still need manual refining. system."

"Recently, the Alchemist Association is short of manpower. Now that you, Lu Chen, have become the alchemy master of the Alchemist Association, you still have certain obligations to do something for Xueyun, but don't worry, you have also gained a lot of power. "

Lu Chen asked: "What does the elder want me to do?"

"Please, could you please refine a batch of big spiritual nourishing pills recently? These big spiritual nourishing pills are for the elders. How about it? Can you refine them?" Zhuge Mingjie asked tentatively.

The Alchemist Association has the most resources in the entire Xueyun Palace, so they have to provide pills to various places in the Xueyun Palace, which is an obligation.

For Zhuge Mingjie, his obligation is to provide those elders with some large-scale tonic pills every year.

However, refining a large-scale spirit-replenishing pill requires a lot of time and energy. This is a big project for Zhuge Mingjie. If he assigns these tasks to other alchemists, other alchemists can refine this large-scale spirit-replenishing pill. It takes more time.

He is about to hand over a batch of large-scale spirit-replenishing pills recently, and those elders have used almost all the large-scale spirit-replenishing pills. Compared with other medicines, such things as spirit-replenishing pills are the fastest to be consumed.

In many places in Wujie, there is no spiritual energy. If a cultivator enters Wujie, the state of consuming spiritual power is basically excluded. After a long time, the spiritual power will not be enough, which is not conducive to the cultivator going too far away from Xueyun Temple Explore the ruins.

Spirit-boosting pills are like oil, able to provide power to cultivators halfway.

The Great Tonic Pill and the Small Tonic Pill are both tonic pills, but the refining ingredients of these two kinds of elixirs are actually different, the difficulty of refining is not necessarily the same, and the natural grades are different.

The Great Tonic Pill is a sixth-grade elixir, and the small tonic elixir is a fourth-grade elixir. If a disciple of the Consecration Realm refines a sixth-grade elixir, if it is spread, others will definitely say that Zhuge Mingjie is crazy.

But Zhuge Mingjie knew that it was possible for someone who could refine the small tonic elixir and make the quality of the small tonic elixir surpass the perfect level to refine the great tonic elixir.

Of course, he admits that he has some gambling elements in it. If he wins the bet, he can be lazy. If he loses the bet, he will spend some time refining the great tonic pill.

Lu Chen didn't know that Zhuge Mingjie was after him as a labor force.

Lu Chen took a look at the price of the recipes of the Great Tonic Pill in the Tianyu Mall, it seemed a bit expensive, one pill needed [-] crystal coins.

However, the price is within his range, and these nourishing elixirs are for the elders of Xueyun Hall, so it is not impossible to refine a batch, and this great tonic elixir is also of great use to him .

"Elder, how many pills do you need in total?"

Zhuge Mingjie replied: "Not much, just three hundred pills."

"Okay, I'll try."

"Then come with me, and I'll take you to the alchemy room prepared for you."

Having said that, Zhuge Mingjie turned around and walked out of the hall, Lu Chen immediately followed.

Every alchemy master has his own alchemy room, and Lu Chen is no exception.

Of course, Lu Chen does not need an alchemy room for alchemy, so this alchemy room is of no use to him.

After walking into the alchemy room for Lu Chen, Zhuge Mingjie continued to say to him: "I'll send someone to bring you the medicinal materials right away. Also, do you need some disciples who will assist you in alchemy? I'll call some for you." Come."

Lu Chen hurriedly said: "No need, I don't like being disturbed when I am refining alchemy."

Lu Chen didn't intend to stay in the alchemy room for a long time at all, calling other disciples would be tantamount to monitoring him, which made him very uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Zhuge Mingjie didn't have too many thoughts. He just wanted to know if Lu Chen could refine the great tonic pill.

If Lu Chen could refine the great tonic elixir, he would be much more relaxed in the future, and he would be able to push things away when someone else did the work, so he would have more time to research new elixirs.

Lu Chen didn't care what Zhuge Mingjie, the old guy, paid attention to. He had his own ideas. If he dared to let him make elixirs, then he must at least benefit from it.

If he was asked to refine three hundred Great Tonic Pills, he would have to accept one hundred Great Tonic Pills as a reward.

"By the way, Lu Chen, do you often have immortals visiting your Seven Star Sect?" Zhuge Mingjie asked suddenly.

"Why did the elder ask this question?" Lu Chen asked back.

"I suddenly found out that your Seven Star Sect seems to be very talented. The two elders, Dugu Ange and Yuwen Rongxuan, are both members of your Seven Star Sect. And this Dugu Ange has already reached the period of crossing the catastrophe. It is estimated that he will usher in it soon. Heavenly Tribulation."

"I was wondering, could it be that your Seven Star Sect has an immortal legacy?"

When Lu Chen said that he was a disciple of an immortal, Zhuge Mingjie had this idea. After all, the Seven Star Sect is a second-level immortal sect, and he really couldn't figure out how to cultivate so many powerful people.

Of course, this has a lot to do with his cognition.

Xueyun Temple is a first-level immortal sect. Most of the people of the first-level immortal sect are in the original mainland and Wujie. Few people go to the Tianhuan Continent to see it. In their images, those cultivators of the second-level immortal sect are all It's a half-baked guy who can't pass the heartbeat period.

But in fact, except that the scale of the second-level fairy gate is a little smaller than that of the first-level fairy gate, and the strength is much weaker, there is no difference in the rest. Man, he didn't go to Xueyun Palace and still became a fairy in the end.

Lu Chen replied: "If there is an immortal legacy, the Seven Star Sect will not be afraid of the Demon Sect."

At this moment, the disciples transporting medicinal materials came in, and their topic stopped.

Zhuge Mingjie said to Lu Chen: "I'll give you fifty pills of medicinal ingredients first, and if you can refine these fifty pills, I'll give you the rest of the medicinal ingredients."

Lu Chen glanced at several large baskets of medicinal materials placed on the ground, and then analyzed them with the Tianyu system to see how many pills these medicinal materials could refine at most.

System prompt: System analysis...

After a while, the system's analysis results came out, and the Tianyu screen said 86 pills.

Seeing this number, Lu Chen frowned.

Seeing Lu Chen frowned, Zhuge Mingjie thought to himself, this guy must have found out that I withheld the medicinal materials.

When he gave Lu Chen the medicinal materials, he deliberately reduced the medicinal materials. Last time, Lu Chen refined three pills with a little bit of medicinal residue in the hall of the alchemist association. This shows Lu Chen's skill in refining ingredients. It is very high, so Zhuge Mingjie deducted it as much as he could, deliberately reducing the medicinal materials.

But in fact, he couldn't even use these medicinal materials to refine 50 great tonic pills.

The reason why Lu Chen frowned was not because he couldn't refine 50 pills, but because he felt that the benefits he could get were a little less.

For 50 pills, at least half of the kickbacks should be taken!

Zhuge Mingjie hurriedly said:

"Ahem, if these herbs are not enough, I'll ask someone to fetch some more."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "It's really not enough."

Zhuge Mingjie said to those disciples: "Go, go and get some medicinal materials for refining the Great Tonic Pill."

After those disciples heard this, they hurried to the medicinal material storehouse, and came back not long after.

This time they brought the same amount of medicinal materials as before. Seeing so many medicinal materials, Lu Chen was stunned.

Fuck!This old guy just cut the medicinal materials!And cut it in half!
Zhuge Mingjie said with a guilty conscience: "Lu Chen, are these medicinal materials enough now?"

Lu Chen's brows stretched, and he said, "It should be barely enough."

"By the way, Elder, do you want to recycle the leftover medicine dregs after refining?" Lu Chen asked.

"No need, you can take the dregs."

"Okay, let's not bother you anymore. After you finish refining, you can come to the Alchemist Association to find me, and I will give you the remaining medicinal materials."

After saying that, Zhuge Mingjie and the disciples left Lu Chen's alchemy room.

After seeing them leave, Lu Chen took a look at the empty alchemy room, looked at the big furnace in front of him, then lit the fire, and threw all the medicinal materials into the Tianyu alchemy furnace.

Lighting the stove outside was just a cover-up. He pretended to tell others that he was preparing to make alchemy.

Seeing smoke coming from Lu Chen's alchemy room, Zhuge Mingjie stroked his beard before returning to the Alchemist Association.

The Dabu Lingdan is a sixth-grade elixir, and it takes a certain amount of time to refine it. Fortunately, Lu Chen spent a lot of crystal coins to upgrade the alchemy furnace. The time for the upgraded alchemy furnace to refine elixir has been shortened. It doesn't take much time to make a big tonic pill.

Three days later, Lu Chen gave the elixir to Zhuge Mingjie. When Zhuge Mingjie saw that Lu Chen had finished refining the elixir so quickly, he was very shocked.

Zhuge Mingjie now fully believes that Lu Chen's master is an immortal alchemist, and only an immortal alchemist can teach such a powerful disciple. Sixth-grade elixir, the most powerful alchemist probably only takes ten pills a day. Chen actually completed fifty pills in three days, this is a true master of alchemy.
