This is what cultivating immortals is like

"You want to learn alchemy?"

After leaving the study, Lu Bei told Bai Jin about his intention to further his studies. The latter was very puzzled when he heard this and thought that Lu Bei was acting on a whim.

"It's not a sudden thought, senior sister, I'm very serious."

Lu Bei said with a serious face: "I want to learn a craft. Not to mention that there are many skills and there are many ways to make a living. Alchemy is an essential skill for people of my generation. It is also a good thing to be exposed to it early."

"Junior brother, your cultivation is just a beginner. It would be too hasty to get started with alchemy now. It is right to practice more and solidify your foundation."

Bai Jin shook his head and said: "If you are short of elixirs during practice, just say so. When I am not around, you can go to your Senior Sister Zhu and she will satisfy your request."

Bai Jin suspected that Lu Bei lacked a sense of security. Sanqingfeng was too poor and did not have many cultivation resources. In addition, he was young and ambitious and refused to ask for help, so he came up with the idea of ​​learning alchemy.

If you don't learn alchemy, you won't have experience. If you don't have experience, you have to practice it honestly. If you practice it honestly, I won't be a genius.

Lu Bei muttered in his heart and his face changed: "Senior sister, to tell you the truth, I am either practicing or cultivating every day, and you don't let me go out. I am bored and want to find some hobbies to pass the time."

"Junior brother's words make sense, but I didn't think carefully."

Bai Jin nodded, she could accept this reason.

Throwing Lu Bei into the Dasheng Guantan Room and learning alchemy without leaving home, without having to worry about being harmed by the crisis-ridden world, and with Zhu Yan watching over him, it was indeed a good way to pass the time.

This way, it also eliminates the possibility of Lu Bei running away unattended during the day without her around.

"Senior Sister Zhu, I will help you speak. It won't be difficult after all."

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

Lu Bei nodded, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and said with a strange expression: "Senior sister, aren't you in a hurry to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect? Why are you not in a hurry anymore?"

"..."

Bai Jindeng blushed immediately and said that she still had to buy some items in Dasheng Pass, which were all belonging to girls, and told Lu Bei not to ask any more questions.

Can you call a girl too?

To put the facts in perspective, your junior sister’s daughter should be called a girl!

The corner of Lu Bei's mouth twitched, but he had the good sense not to say it. The goal had been achieved and it was time to retire.

…

The next day, Bai Jin left early in the morning and planted three sword charms on the back of Lu Bei's hand, saying that they would keep him safe in critical moments.

Zhu Yan said goodbye to Bai Jin gloomily and took Lu Bei in a carriage to Huangji Sect's residence at Dasheng Pass.

As the seat and first county of Dong Qi, Dashengguan is second to none in terms of population and economy. The presence of Huangji Sect has brought the prosperity of this county to a higher level.

Apart from anything else, the economic benefits brought by wealthy royal children like Zhu Yan are not small.

First of all, land sales are booming.

Secondly, elixirs and arrays are replenished and consumed at the Huangji Sect's Dashengguan station every day. Cooperating merchants and immortal sects come and go, which generates a large amount of tax revenue.

This is not the point. The point is that the Huangji Sect's headquarters in Dashengguan is located in a valley in the west of the county. It is obviously far away from the center of the county, but the number of shops on both sides of the road has not decreased.

The entire valley was occupied by the Huangji Sect and was divided into several areas for the use of different departments.

The alchemy room area is surrounded by pavilions and trees.

The naked eye can't see any strict security, but in fact the formations are interlocking. If it weren't for Zhu Yan's guarantee and a certificate at the entrance, Lu Bei wouldn't be able to take two steps without being escorted to the small area by a big man jumping out of the grass. Dark room.

Zhu Yan is the account bookkeeper of Danfang. She has a chief bookkeeper and two colleagues who are also account bookkeepers. These three people do the main daily work. She is mainly responsible for dawdling.

As long as she goes to and from get off work on time, she can basically be on duty fifteen days a month. She is the outstanding subordinate most praised by the chief clerk.

Don't ask, just ask that her surname is Zhu.

Zhu Yan is very self-aware. People respect her not because of herself, but because she doesn't want to cause trouble. Therefore, she has no airs when dealing with others. She greets her with a smile and makes friends everywhere.

With her help, Lu Bei quickly found a job in the alchemy room.

Trainee alchemist.

The master Lin Bohai who was responsible for guiding him to get started was rich in experience. He was a 20-year-old employee of the alchemy room. He was from the Huangji Sect and had experienced systematic alchemy training.

Lin Bohai looked at Lu Bei helplessly. Seeing his eagerness to try, his face became even more helpless.

For seniors who have been around for many years, the most troublesome thing is for newbies who come in because of their connections. It doesn’t matter whether they ask questions or not. It’s hard to explain them there. Just ask them...

What you are saying is, damn it if you can control it!

Fortunately, the life in the alchemy room was boring. Lin Bohai was very experienced in dealing with Mengxin and was confident that within three months, Zhu Yan's distant relatives would be able to retreat.

He regained his composure and said pleasantly: "Lu Bei, have you ever made elixirs before?"

"No."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Bohai nodded, and the answer was as expected. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "No, it doesn't matter. Just watch someone practice it. It's easy to get started."

"I haven't seen it either."

"..."

Lin Bohai was silent for a moment. It turned out that he was not a newbie, but a young master looking for trouble.

Thinking about Zhu Yan's identity, this young master's family background is not that bad. If he's braver, he might also be named Zhu, and come here incognito to have fun.

That's even simpler.

Lin Bohai led Lu Bei to an alchemy room, a single room on the second floor, with a desk, tea, landscape paintings, and a window that could see the beautiful scenery of the valley in the distance.

Refining elixirs here for a long time will not only improve your tea making skills, but also strengthen your belief in freedom.

This is how Lin Bohai usually treats young masters and ladies when they come.

"Lu Bei, the art of alchemy is profound and profound. The complexity cannot be explained in words. I have studied this art for many years and figured out four words."

Lin Bohai raised four fingers and said firmly: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are familiar with it!"

"Master Lin is absolutely right."

Lu Bei nodded repeatedly. He also felt the same way. There was no need to complicate things, the personal panel would take care of everything.

After saying that, he brought over several basic alchemy books that covered a wide range of topics, as well as some cheap herbs and tools, and asked Lu Bei to read them while practicing. If there was anything he didn't understand, write it down on paper first, and he would discuss it with him tomorrow morning. One answer.

"Here is the alchemy furnace. You try to get started first. It's time for me to start the elixir. The furnace is a little too hot, so I won't accompany you." Seeing Lu Bei weighing the medicinal materials excitedly, Lin Bohai slicked the soles of his feet and slipped away quickly.

From a personal point of view, Lin Bohai didn't like Lu Bei for a very practical reason. It would be a waste of time and money to lead an apprentice.

The monthly salary of an alchemist is pitifully low, and this is the same whether it is official or private.

The official reasons are too complicated. Just talking about the private sector, alchemists have a delivery rate. Every time they refine a batch of elixirs, they can be divided into high-quality products, finished products, and waste elixirs.

When you are lucky, the furnace will be of high quality. If you are unlucky, if your little hand shakes just a little, the furnace will be considered useless.

Therefore, every time a furnace of elixir is opened, the raw materials are in excess, allowing the alchemist to lose them within a certain range.

The main income of an alchemist has never been salary. Skilled alchemists make money from raw materials. After a batch of fine products and finished products, the remaining raw materials are put into their own pockets and sold for profit.

Because of this uncontrollable hidden rule, the alchemist's monthly salary is getting lower and lower, which is a disguised acquiescence, allowing the alchemist to use his experience and skills to make extra money after completing the prescribed tasks.

As a newbie among newbies, Lu Bei must have suffered a lot of losses. Some of this must be attributed to Lin Bohai. Although Zhu Yan has guaranteed that he does not need to worry about losses, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case of losses. There are too many, and the other side turns against the person, can he still fight against the emperor's relatives?

"Forget it, who gave me a big belly? The alchemy room is boring and not very interesting. I understand that a young man like him won't be able to stay here for long."

Lin Bohai stroked his beard. Ten days, ten days at most. If Lu Bei could persist for ten days, he would stand on his head and refine a furnace of elixirs.
