"smell good!"

The moment Zhang Xiaoshan stepped into the door of the pharmacy, a faint herbal aroma hit him in the face, and he couldn't help but whisper.

Then he glanced over quickly.

I saw many people gathered around the bottom of the alchemy platform, concentrating on watching the alchemists on the stage making pills themselves. The surroundings were very lively.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked left and right, and saw a few guys in Tai Chi costumes in the crowd not far ahead, shouting in a loud voice: "

Dear senior friends in the martial arts world, thank you for coming to Tai Chi Pharmacy to watch Huang Yaoshi making the elixir.

Recently, my Taiji Pharmacy is in urgent need of an alchemist who can refine Qi and Blood Pills. If any alchemist wants to join Taiji Pharmacy, come to me and I will take you to see Manager Dong. "

"I want to join your Tai Chi Pharmacy."

Zhang Xiaoshan walked over to a young man and spoke directly.

"Ok?"

The young man was slightly stunned, staring at Zhang Xiaoshan from head to toe, muttering to himself:

This young man is dressed in gorgeous clothes. Could he be a dandy from some family? He is bored and comes here to seek excitement? Or is he here to have fun?"

After hesitating for a moment, the young man said:

Young Master, you should go play somewhere else."

"play?"

Zhang Xiaoshan said:

I am not here for fun, nor do I have the time to frolic here.

I sincerely want to join your Tai Chi Pharmacy."

"Can you make Qi and Blood Pills?"

The young man was slightly surprised and asked.

"meeting!"

Zhang Xiaoshan answered without hesitation: "Take me to see your Manager Dong."

"This boy is so young, can he really refine Qi and Blood Pills?"

The young man thought to himself:

If he does have this ability, and I don't take him to see Manager Dong, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape punishment if Manager Dong finds out about this."

After hesitating for a while, the young man felt that he could not make the decision on this matter, so he said seriously:

Young Master, please follow me."

As he spoke, the young man led the way, and he and Zhang Xiaoshan walked through the crowd to the backyard on the easternmost side of Tai Chi Pharmacy.

In the backyard, an old tree stood, its lush branches and leaves rustling in the wind. The two walked under the tree and came to the door of a house.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and make the announcement."

The young man turned around and said to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Yeah!" Zhang Xiaoshan nodded in response.

The young man gently opened the door and walked in. After a moment he came out and said, "

Please go in, Manager Dong is waiting for you."

"Okay." Zhang Xiaoshan nodded in response, then stepped into the house and took a quick look.

I saw the sunlight shining through a window and onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Not far to the left side of the house, an old man was standing beside a wooden square table, holding a brush and writing quickly on a piece of white paper on the table.

"Young Master, you are so young, can you really make Qi and Blood Pills?"

Noticing Zhang Xiaoshan walking into the room, Manager Dong put his brush aside, raised his head slightly, stared at Zhang Xiaoshan, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke softly.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded slightly and replied, "Of course I can!"

"You should know that all the alchemists who come to my Taiji Pharmacy are over 40 years old."

Manager Dong smiled slightly and said:

You are so young, yet you say you can make Qi and Blood Pills. I really can’t believe it, and it’s just empty talk without any evidence.”

"Manager Dong, this is the Qi and Blood Pill I made."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled slightly, reached out and took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill into his palm, and said.

Manager Dong shook his head slightly and said:

The pill in your hand is indeed a Qi and Blood Pill, however, this cannot prove that this pill was made by you.

Unless you can personally refine a Qi and Blood Pill on the spot, I will not allow you to join my Tai Chi Pharmacy."

As he spoke, he pointed to a room on the right and continued, "

The room next to me is an alchemy room, which contains medicinal materials for making Qi and Blood Pills. You can make one right here."

"no problem."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said.

Manager Dong hesitated for a moment and said, “However, I believe you also know that the medicinal materials for Qi and Blood Pills are quite precious, and one furnace of medicinal materials is worth at least one hundred silver coins.

If you fail to refine a Qi and Blood Pill, this batch of medicinal materials will be destroyed.

I can’t afford this loss.”

"If I fail to refine the Qi and Blood Pill, I will give you the three Qi and Blood Pills in this porcelain bottle. How about that?"

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said.

"can!"

Manager Dong nodded slightly in response.

"hehe!"

Zhang Xiaoshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, laughed, and walked calmly into the alchemy room next to him.

Entering the alchemy room, I saw an alchemy furnace placed in the center. On the table next to the furnace, various medicinal materials needed to refine Qi and Blood Pills were neatly arranged.

Zhang Xiaoshan stepped forward without any hesitation, thinking to himself:

This Manager Dong obviously doesn’t trust me. If I don’t show him my skills, he really doesn’t know how powerful I am.”

Then, he skillfully lit the fire in the alchemy furnace, and quickly screened and refined the medicinal materials on the table.

After a while, the medicinal materials were extracted.

Zhang Xiaoshan stood quietly beside the alchemy furnace, reaching his hand into the furnace, feeling the temperature of the flame, and thinking silently:

The heat is almost up, now it depends on my performance.”

When he felt it was about right, Zhang Xiaoshan nodded slightly, then reached out and picked up the refined medicinal materials on the table.

His movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water, and various medicinal powders were poured into the alchemy furnace one by one.

“This boy is not simple!

He lit the alchemy furnace very quickly, and the entire process of refining the medicinal materials was flawless, showing that he was extremely skilled. "

Manager Dong stood aside, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he murmured in a low voice: "

At this moment, he poured the various refined medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner. His technique was very skillful and he looked like an experienced veteran. "

He was the manager of Taiji Pharmacy, so he had naturally seen many alchemists making Qi and Blood Pills.

"I really didn't expect that he is so young and yet he is actually an alchemist. Moreover, he can also refine Qi and Blood Pills. It is really unbelievable!"

Manager Dong showed a hint of joy on his face and sighed in his heart.

Soon, Zhang Xiaoshan successfully refined the Qi and Blood Pill. He couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking: "

nailed it!

I think Manager Dong will recognize me now."

Then, he reached out and took out three red pills from the alchemy furnace, turned around and took a few steps forward, facing Manager Dong, and said, "

Manager Dong, what do you think? "

"Forgive me for my poor eyesight just now. I never thought that you could refine Qi and Blood Pills at such a young age. This really surprises me."

Manager Dong said with a smile on his face and some excitement.

"Manager Dong, can I join Tai Chi Pharmacy now?"

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said.
