Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 12: A Good Place for Sightseeing and Water Activities

On the second day, Lu Bei sat upright in the carriage heading to the Alchemy Room, while Zhu Yan leaned over, appearing quite familiar.

Yesterday after work, she made an appointment with a few noble ladies who were also living in Great Victory Pass to go shopping for rouge fabric. Lu Bei took the carriage home alone, feeling that he hadn't shown enough concern as an older sister to his younger brother. In case Bai Jin asked about it, he needed to make up for it quickly.

"Xiao Bei, did you have fun at the Alchemy Room yesterday?"

"Fun?!"

Lu Bei slightly leaned back and created some distance. As always, he was very straightforward.

"I mean, did you enjoy learning alchemy?"

"I gained a lot."

Lu Bei nodded seriously, then said, "Sister Zhu, it's better if you still call me 'Junior Brother.' Xiao Bei... sounds strange."

"What's wrong with that? The relationship between older sister and younger brother is too distant. We should be closer..."

"By the way, Sister Zhu, any news from Senior Sister Bai?"

Seeing that Zhu Yan had intentions of teasing him, Lu Bei used the diversion tactic, which worked perfectly. Zhu Yan immediately became spirited and started gossiping about the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

"You won't hear any news from Senior Sister Bai for a while. This matter can't be rushed. Let me tell you, don't spread it around. The Sect Master is very suspicious... blah blah... gossip... blah blah..."

When the carriage arrived at its destination, Zhu Yan closed her mouth, feeling unsatisfied. Lu Bei quickly jumped off the carriage and walked briskly towards the exclusive alchemy room.

"This child has good character, but he's too polite."

Zhu Yan felt slightly dissatisfied. As fellow senior sisters, Lu Bei was much closer to Bai Jin than to her.

"Could it be...?" Zhu Yan's eyes lit up with curiosity. She knew her thoughts were wrong, but once the thought emerged, it couldn't be suppressed.

"Sure enough, Junior Brother is popular wherever he goes."

...

In the alchemy room, as soon as Lu Bei entered, he saw Lin Bohai. He politely greeted him and then quickly started the alchemy process after obtaining the materials.

Lin Bohai stood beside him with a strange expression, neither disturbing nor intending to leave.

Yesterday, when he was counting the finished pills, he was shocked to find the Spirit Opening Pills that Lu Bei had refined. Although they were not top-quality, there were quite a few of them. According to the loss ratio, they had already reached the passing threshold of the Alchemy Room.

It was unbelievable!

He remembered Lu Bei saying that he had never refined pills before and had never seen anyone else do it.

Therefore, he came specifically today to find out the truth. If he discovered that Lu Bei had deceived and lied to him, he wouldn't be blamed for turning his back on him. The vow he made when he refined a furnace of pills while standing on his head would be considered null and void.

Lu Bei happily gained experience points and completely ignored Lin Bohai's presence. The latter silently watched the entire process of a furnace of Spirit Opening Pills being formed and then left without saying a word.

Lin Bohai was an old member of the Alchemy Room. Being old didn't necessarily mean being wise, but with experience came more ideas, and with more ideas, misunderstandings arose.

First of all, he could confirm that Lu Bei was not a novice in alchemy. All the talk about never having refined pills before or never having seen anyone else do it was all nonsense, just to deceive an old man in his fifties like him.

Secondly, people like Lu Bei had appeared before. People from above would come down to inspect and check, hiding their identities to facilitate their work.

Something was wrong!

Sweat dripped down Lin Bohai's forehead. Two months ago, he changed the supplier of medicinal materials for the Great Victory Pass Alchemy Room, using different connections and routes. As an experienced master who had been in the industry for many years, he could tell that the quality of these materials was not as good as before.

How much price difference was involved, Lin Bohai had never thought about it. It didn't matter to him. He only received a sum of money to keep it a secret.

But now, when he thought about it...

He couldn't think about it. The more he thought, the more terrified he became.

"They came so quickly. Should I... should I confess voluntarily to seek a peaceful end, or..."

Lin Bohai wiped away a cold sweat and decided to first spread the news. He couldn't be blamed for the confidentiality fee. He just didn't want to offend anyone. Now that something had happened, it was time for the other party to fulfill their promise and take care of it.

Feeling guilty, Lin Bohai had no idea that Lu Bei was completely unaware of his sudden identity as a spy. He continued to happily gain experience points.

He gained experience points for a whole month.

Name: Lu Bei

Race: Human

Template: NPC

Level: 10

Experience: 10/40000

Cultivation: 100/100

Life: 120/120

Main Occupation: Dao Cultivator

Secondary Occupations: Farmer Lv1 (0/100), Alchemist Lv6 (50/30000)

Attributes: Strength 2, Speed 3, Spirit 10, Endurance 12, Charm 3, Luck 3

Evaluation: Troublesome and somewhat knowledgeable. What's there to evaluate?

[Demon-Slaying Sutra Lv1 (10/5000)]

[Extreme Monarch Pill Nourishing Technique Lv6 (100/30000)]

Remaining 14 Free Attribute Points, 930 Skill Points, 220,000 experience.

The growth in spirit and endurance comes from the upgrade of the 'Extreme Monarch Pill Nourishing Technique', which has led to an increase in cultivation and life force. The reason for being idle is because the experience has not been invested in the 'Demon-Slaying Sutra'.

The Free Attribute Points and Skill Points come from the advancement of the main and secondary professions.

Lu Bei has invested a lot of experience in the secondary profession of alchemist and the 'Extreme Monarch Pill Nourishing Technique'. One reason is to increase the success rate and speed of alchemy, and the other reason is to test the effectiveness of the 'Extreme Monarch Pill Nourishing Technique' and see if it can promote him from an alchemist to a High-Level alchemist.

There was no response after reaching level 6, so he stopped investing experience.

The remaining 220,000 experience is kept as inventory. Currently, there is no survival crisis, so he has not considered strengthening his combat power temporarily. Moreover, he lacks attack skills, so the significance of improvement is not great.

There is another consideration. It has been a month and there is still no news from Bai Jin.

Lu Bei is waiting for news from Bai Jin. It is difficult to explain such a sudden improvement within a month. Lu Bei plans to wait for Bai Jin to take him to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect and touch some profound books to have an on-the-spot 'enlightenment'. According to Lu Bei's idea, one enlightenment will end the novice period at level 20, and all attributes will increase significantly, officially stepping into the realm of cultivation, which is enough to obtain a large amount of resources from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

Then, there will be a wave of happy and refreshing experience grinding.

The reason why he was able to accumulate a large amount of experience within a month and still have some left is all thanks to Lin Bohai's secret help.

During this time, Lin Bohai has been obedient to Lu Bei, even if Lu Bei is outrageous enough to simultaneously open five furnaces for alchemy, Lin Bohai doesn't say a word, just strokes his beard calmly and satisfies various requests.

Lu Bei can't figure it out, but he is deeply moved and feels ashamed for underestimating the other party before. He originally thought Lin Bohai was a seasoned bureaucrat, but he didn't expect that his cultivation level was higher and he treated his juniors better than his own son.

He is a good old fox.

"Sister Zhu has no news. Just in case, I should consider learning some attack skills. Whether I practice them or not is not important, but it's good to have a backup plan."

Although experience is valuable, Lu Bei is a bit tired after a month of continuous alchemy and wants to change his environment and clear his mind. He heard from other alchemists that there are some unique features in Cloud River Tower, so he is thinking of going there to take a look.

Lu Bei doesn't really understand what Cloud River Tower is, but the unique features sound very local and it seems like a good place to enjoy nature and scenery.

The world is so big, he can't miss the opportunity to visit Youzhou and appreciate the unique scenery at Cloud River Tower, which can somewhat make up for his regrets.

"It's just a trip. Senior Sister Zhu should let me go... right?"

"No problem. If she is worried about my safety, it wouldn't be good to explain to Senior Sister Bai. It would be better to have Senior Brother Wei accompany me!"

...

Night, Wei Mansion, master bedroom.

Zhu Yan is sleeping soundly under a thin silk quilt, her graceful curves and the light shining through her nightgown create a strong sense of temptation in the room.

At this moment, a shadow quietly pushes open the bedroom door and approaches the bed. After a pause, a large hand reaches out from the darkness.

Then...

The silk quilt is picked up and placed over Zhu Yan.

Bang!

Zhu Yan kicks out, aiming for the vital area below the shadow's navel.

Snap!

The large hand in the darkness catches it steadily, and facing Zhu Yan's sudden attack, a long arm reaches out to hold her in his arms, then gracefully turns around and throws her back onto the bed.

From the skillful operation, it is clear that only an old married couple can do this.

"Wife, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?" Wei Mao asks as he lights a lamp.

"This bed is so cold, how can I sleep?" Zhu Yan replies irritably, covering her ears and refusing to listen.

"Busy with official matters, I also..."

Wei Mao explains a few words, but seeing Zhu Yan covering her ears and not wanting to listen, he changes the topic and says, "What's the situation with the Alchemy Room? The Spirit Opening Pills that have been delivered recently are always in excess."

The Extreme Monarch Sect manages all cultivation affairs within Wu Zhou, and the military's supply of pills is also included. As the Extreme Monarch Sect and the central royal authority gradually drift apart, the military logistics in the local areas have become more and more stingy.

For example, the Hemostasis Pills, Qi Accumulation Pills, and other daily consumables are often delayed in delivery.

Don't ask why, it's because they are being refined.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Zhu Yan kicks Wei Mao repeatedly with her foot.

This guy, always busy with his male companions, doesn't know how to spend time with his own wife.

Wei Mao doesn't dodge, frowning and saying, "It's a good thing indeed, but we can only have a few bottles of high-quality pills at most. Now they are all finished products."

"It's already good enough that they didn't deduct your Spirit Opening Pills. What else do you want?" Zhu Yan loses her temper at her husband and coldly snorts, "I'm going back to my parents' house in a few days. Take care of Xiao Bei for me. Take him to the military camp and keep an eye on him. Don't let him learn bad things."

"Why are you going back to your parents' house?"

"You've treated me badly, so I'm going back to my parents' house and waiting for you to apologize!"

"..."

Thank you to the leader 'Right Hand Fish' for the reward!

I know that you don't like the data panel, and I don't want to waste words on it either, so from now on, I will keep it simple... Anyway, it's not important.
