Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

Senior Zha Mao was the first to speak: "Since we have to refine a pill and hand it in for the judges to evaluate like in previous years, let's go, junior. Liu Ling and I will accompany you to look for spiritual medicine. What kind of pill do you plan to refine for the evaluation?"

Xiao Lin: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Senior Zha Mao nodded: "That's right, let's see what kind of elixir is suitable."

"Where's your alchemy furnace? Take it out. I'll carry it for you. Just go find the elixir. Liu Ling will keep watch for you. If you encounter any monsters, we will go up and kill them directly."

Liu Ling also said, "Yes, Junior Brother Xiao, this valley was specially opened up by the Alchemy Academy for students. It is full of various spiritual herbs. You might as well take this opportunity to pick more for your own use. It would be a waste if you don't pick them up anyway."

"Old Liu, you are right!" The angry senior patted Liu Ling heavily, and the three of them gradually left into the valley.

The remaining alchemists also teamed up with sword cultivators they were familiar with. Although both sides disliked and cursed at each other, they still had to form a team.

Most of them are composed of two people, an alchemist and a swordsman.

Because each alchemist uses different elixirs for exams, needs to pick different herbs, and the herbs grow in different places, so alchemists do not follow the same path.

In order to prevent the loss of medicinal properties of the picked elixirs, alchemists will choose to immediately put them into the alchemy furnace for a simple and rough initial processing.

This can not only avoid the loss of medicinal properties, but also save time for subsequent refining.

Therefore it is also called pre-refining.

But this project requires the alchemist to keep his furnace with him at all times.

The weight of the alchemy furnace can range from several hundred pounds to several thousand pounds.

The alchemist has a weak physique, how can he possibly carry the alchemy furnace and walk around?

Therefore, a sword cultivator with good physical strength is needed to carry the alchemy furnace.

Moreover, the rarer the elixir, the more likely it is to attract monsters, and it requires a sword cultivator with good cultivation to escort it at all times.

It was like a fight between a couple. Not only did the sword cultivator have to endure it and not fight, but he also had small wounds on his face like the alchemist's cat scratches, and he had to get up in the middle of the night with a sour face.

Carrying the alchemy furnace with a cold face.

Xiao Yici stood up, casually patted the spirit sword, letting it float by itself, and walked towards Chu Jin who was left there.

His spiritual sword has a sword spirit.

The sword spirit has a certain degree of autonomous consciousness, and follows Xiao Yici lightly and gracefully.

The other alchemists have already left with the sword cultivators who have teamed up with them.

Chu Jin was alone in front of the alchemy furnace. He pursed his pale lips, with an awkward look on his face like a young lady, and his fingers unconsciously grasped the robe with precious patterns.

His skin color tended to be cold and white, and his fingers almost blended into the snow-white robe.

Xiao Yici was born with a sour face. When he wasn't smiling, his face looked cold and sour, with a hint of sarcasm in it.

So even if it is a handsome face, it is a handsome face that seems to be mocking people all the time.

Every time the proud alchemist looked at his face, he felt as if he was being laughed at and ridiculed, and his dignity was severely challenged.

I couldn't help but stab back with my gun and stick.

A talented swordsman in the inner courtyard, he is unruly and unruly.

The genius alchemist of the Alchemy Academy, arrogant and cold.

Compared to the outer college which focuses on classes, the inner college focuses more on the students' own improvement.

Hunting monsters, going out on missions... all of them require cooperation among cultivators of various professions, so there are more contacts between the Inner Court and the Alchemy Court.

These two men are the best in their respective academies, but they are like sworn enemies. As soon as they meet, they start to make sarcastic remarks, one turns his face away, the other sneers.

Xiao Yici was born in Jian Valley. Although he looks unrestrained and uninhibited, Jian Valley is actually the most rigorous place to sharpen the mind of a sword practitioner.

So he doesn't have those bad habits, and he doesn't like those bad habits.

Alchemists are undoubtedly the group of people with the most bad habits.

Becoming mortal enemies is simply inevitable.

The longer the hostility, the better they will understand each other. Xiao Yici looked at Chu Jin carefully.

After seeing his arrogant look for a long time, he gives people the cold shoulder.

Tsk, that's actually kind of cute.

Sometimes, Xiao Yici also felt that he was quite incredible.

He could actually find some cuteness in Chu Jin's sharp thorns.

Someone has the temper and personality of a young lady.

Although the eldest lady is not likable, she also has her own cuteness.

Xiao Yici despised himself. He was a mean guy and he just liked Chu Jin's cold face.

As he was thinking casually, he raised his eyes happily, his gaze swept over Chu Jin, and he carried the complex-patterned alchemy furnace that was too heavy for the eldest lady.

He looked back at Chu Jin and spoke in a tone that was half joking and half sarcastic.

"Please, Miss Chu, you can't even carry an alchemy furnace."

Chu Jin looked at Xiao Yici with complicated eyes, that sloppy and stinky face.

He loosened his fingers that were digging into the restriction on his clothes, took a step forward and walked in front, heading towards the place where he was going to find the elixir.

I couldn't help but speak as I walked.

"This alchemy furnace of mine weighs nearly ten thousand pounds. Don't let yourself get tired and abandon it halfway through."

He said, frowning in worry.

Behind him, Xiao Yici sneered and said casually, "Is this little bit of weight worth mentioning?"

He carried the heavy alchemy furnace leisurely, looking extremely relaxed.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you, okay?"

The weight of tens of thousands of pounds is nothing to him.

But about two thousand young ladies would be difficult to lift.

Chu Jin pursed her lips and awkwardly retorted: "Don't call me Miss, you are the Miss."

"My young lady, have you ever seen a young lady as rough as me?" Xiao Yici behind him snorted and laughed, "Young ladies are all delicate and tender. Look at you, you fit the bill."

"Boring." Chu Jin dropped these two words and quickened his pace.

Xiao Yici looked at his back, took a step with his long legs, and followed him slowly.

His eyes were unruly and casual, slightly raised with a natural mockery and disdain, but if you look closely, you can see that Xiao Yici's eyes were unconsciously glued to the man's back, staring at him.

Normally, he is as proud as a precious cat, and his eyes are filled with coldness and disdain.

As a talented alchemist who is high above everyone else and has a good family background, the elders of the Alchemy Academy cherish his talent, pamper him and treat him as the apple of their eyes. Naturally, he has the capital to be proud of himself.

But this time, perhaps because he had been neglected just now, he felt helpless in front of a furnace weighing nearly ten thousand pounds.

For some reason he became much more obedient now, as if all the thorns on his body had softened a lot.

The small stickleback fish has become very easy to bite.

Xiao Yici felt an inexplicable itch in his teeth when he saw this.

I just want to provoke someone.

Chu Jin suddenly felt something like a thorn in his back. He subconsciously wanted to speed up his pace, but he felt that such a reaction was cowardly, so he paused, turned around and glared at him.

Xiao Yici raised his eyebrows and said, "Your hair is thorny."

Alchemists love cleanliness, so how could they tolerate messy hair? Chu Jin's expression froze, he turned around, and quickly reached out to tidy up his hair.

In fact, there were sword cultivators who took the initiative to help Chu Jin carry the alchemy furnace. Although he had a bad temper and many bad habits, he was one of the few third-grade alchemists.

There is a huge difference between each grade of elixir. A young and talented alchemist like Chu Jin is sought after and sought after wherever he goes.

But the grade of his alchemy furnace was not low, it was a rare earth-grade alchemy furnace.

Compared to the alchemy furnace that weighs several hundred pounds or one or two thousand pounds, this one weighs nearly ten thousand pounds.

Ordinary sword cultivators can't even lift it, and those who haven't mastered physical training can't even walk a few steps without being out of breath and having red and thick necks.

(There is food everywhere, why not eat this pair with a name ●v●)

……

"Junior, your strength has increased a little too much, you are almost catching up with me and Brother Liu."

"Fortunately, I have made some breakthroughs recently, otherwise I would not have the face to say that I am your protector." The angry senior sighed.

There are ice crystals in the mustard seed ring, which can freeze elixirs without losing their medicinal properties.

So the three of them pulled the things as they walked, which made the elders of the Alchemy Academy so excited that veins jumped on their foreheads.

The magical herbs in the valley were specially planted by the Alchemy Academy in order to train the disciples' alchemy skills.

Although Xiao Lin is an alchemist, and a third-grade alchemist at that, he is not from the Alchemy Academy after all.

This is what happens when outsiders pick the fruits of their own harvest.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not pleasing to the eye.

The elders of the Dan Academy were very critical of him.

"What kind of elixir is this kid refining?"

"He picked up the Earth Scale Moss and Gray Shell Rock. It seems that he wants to refine the third-grade elixir, the Armor-Condensing Pill."

After taking the Armor-Condensing Pill, a layer of spiritual armor can be condensed on the surface of the cultivator's body to protect himself. As long as the armor is not broken, it can protect the cultivator from harm.

The finished pill can sustain the spiritual armor for half an hour, and the recovery pill can last longer.

Of course, it is also related to the attacks suffered by the monk. The more violent the attacks, the more the armor will be worn and the shorter the duration will be.

"Humph, the difficulty of refining the Armor-Consolidating Pill can only be ranked above average among the third-grade elixirs. It's nothing."

“In my opinion, even though they are both third-grade alchemists, he is far inferior to Chu Jin.”

"Of course, the elixir Chu Jin refines is the most difficult elixir to refine, the one that breaks through barriers and upgrades levels." An elder from the Alchemy Academy said with a proud attitude.

Upgrade pills have always been the most difficult to refine among all pills.

The difficulty of refining the second-grade barrier-breaking pill has exceeded that of most third-grade pills, and as for the third-grade barrier-breaking upgrading pill, even some fourth-grade alchemists are not 100% sure that they can refine it.

Among the three elders of the Dan Academy, one has a long beard, one has a short beard, and the other has no beard.

The man with a long beard stroked his beard and said, "A few days ago, Chu Jin showed me the pills he refined. Let me tell you, one of them actually has the prototype of a fourth-grade pill."

The short-bearded man praised: "This kid is really talented. With him, I think we may be able to compete with Dan Valley in this year's Alchemy Conference."

There is an established alchemy meeting between the Alchemy Academy and the Alchemy Valley.

The alchemy meeting may seem like a casual exchange of alchemy experiences, but in reality it is a competition of strength between each other's elite disciples.

In previous years, Dan Valley was always better and had completely suppressed Dan Academy.

After all, Dan Valley is a place that only accommodates alchemists, and it can also be the birthplace of many alchemists.

Nowadays, many Alchemist Guilds and Alchemy Temples on the continent are all under the jurisdiction of the Alchemy Valley forces.

"The third-grade upgrading pill is ready. Chu Jin will definitely be the first in this year's exam!" The long-bearded elder made the final decision.

Then he joyfully showed off the reward he had prepared for the first place in the exam. He opened the cold jade box and introduced it excitedly.

"This pill is a fourth-grade pill that Medicine Master made casually."

"Although we are all fifth-grade alchemists, fourth-grade pills are nothing, but this one is different. This fourth-grade pill made by Medicine Master contains some of the charm of the pill."

The short-bearded elder and the beardless elder were amazed: "Brother, you have hidden such a treasure!"

Dan Yun is countless times more precious than Dao Yun. If the long-bearded elder did not have great confidence in Chu Jin's strength, he would not have been willing to give it out.

The value of the elixir containing the charm of elixir has far exceeded the fourth-grade elixir itself. It is more like a handicraft with extremely high observation value.

Eating it is a waste of nature's gifts, while observing it will benefit many alchemists.

The elders of the Dan Academy here were amazed and excited.

there.

The sword-cultivating elders of the Law Enforcement Pavilion were all in a daze.

They could neither watch nor listen to what the alchemist said.

Several elders from the Alchemy Academy talked loudly, while Elder Jianxiu was just staring blankly from beginning to end.

Damn, this time is so hard.

If the Bamboo Green Bottle and the Golden Stone Stele still had something to do, then Luo Huangji could only eat melon seeds out of boredom.

Shaking his legs and cracking melon seeds with a "crunch crunch" sound.

Melon seeds, a gift from Xiaohuabu.

As for how Xue Lingluo got the melon seeds from Xiao Hudie - she sold her sex appeal, opened her clothes, and twisted her waist.

The little butterfly covered her nose and was so excited that she gave away all the snacks as gifts.

Little Butterfly had no snacks left, so she went to her father to act coquettishly. Qi Wu Yue gave her a bunch of melon seeds from the storage magic tool.

Every time Qi Wu Yue’s snacks were sold out, a certain amazing chef would quickly restock them.

Tenant Xue Lingluo is well aware of the different levels of family status.

Qi Wu Yue, the throne of the family, is unshakable.

Xue Lingluo: She is so beautiful that everyone loves to admire her. Just because of that face, I would eat two more bowls of rice at every meal.

Although Xue was always beaten for not paying for meals.

Xiao Lin, the chef, has amazing cooking skills and can please everyone.

Xue Lingluo firmly believed that no matter who you offend, you must never offend the cook.

Reference event: Xue Lingluo found out that he flirted with Qi Wu Yue during a meal, and he would get poisoned, have diarrhea... and suffer from it several times afterwards.

At first he didn't believe it and couldn't understand how Xiao Lin had poisoned him.

"In the food." Xiao Lin opened his eyelids and told him clearly.

"Impossible, how come he is fine?" Xue Lingluo pointed at Qi Wu Yue to express her disbelief.

Qi Wu Yue looked disdainful: "Immune to all poisons."

"What about her?" Xue Lingluo pointed at the little butterfly again.

The little butterfly covered its stomach nervously and said, "No, I don't want to be poisoned to death."

For several times, Xue Lingluo found that no matter how many people were at the dinner table, he was the only one who suffered.

"The medicinal properties conflict and the foods counteract each other." Xiao Lin once again told him the answer calmly.

Xue Lingluo: It’s actually this!

Then he began to observe the order in which Qi Wu Yue ate. Whatever dish Qi Wu Yue picked up, he would immediately follow suit and eat.

Despite this, he was still poisoned. After being tortured by the strange poison all night, Xue Lingluo was so exhausted that he couldn't even get up.
