Chapter 12 I, Wang Shouye, Am Suddenly Invincible?
…
Of course, although personal connections are important, your own strength is also very important. Otherwise, the so-called connections are a joke.
After all, in essence, so-called personal connections are based on the exchange of mutual interests. If you have no ability or potential, who will take you seriously?
That's it.
These people present are all smart people. How could they not guess which path Wang must have taken? Master Aland Cauldron could not put aside his feelings and had to give this face.
But, so what?
The Wang family is just a newly promoted seventh-grade family. Even if they have worked hard to make some connections, unless they know something about the situation, who will really take the Wang family seriously?
Wang Shouzhe had lived through two lives, and he had already seen through the minds of these people.
Before he used his connections, he just didn't want to be suppressed and bullied. Now that the other party was dancing in front of him, he should naturally show his strength and teach others how powerful the Changning Wang family was.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he put down the tea cup calmly, glanced at Wang Shouye, and said calmly: "Shouye, in this case, you should have a discussion with him."
"Yes, Fourth Brother." Wang Shouye handed over his hand honestly.
He took a deep breath and braced himself. Now that Fourth Brother has agreed, we can only compete. No matter what, just try your best.
Dongfang Yuxi looked happy.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Wang family was so upset that he actually agreed to the competition.
He immediately struck while the iron was hot and said to Wang Shouye: "Brother Shouye, since we are all alchemists in the Lingtai realm, why not just refine the third-grade elixir?"
Wang Shouye said politely: "Brother Dongfang, among the third-grade elixirs, I can only refine the Gu Yuan Dan, the Qiling Pill, and the Da Gu Yuan Dan."
In fact, there are many third-grade elixir prescriptions, but alchemists have limited energy, and it is impossible for most alchemists to learn all the prescriptions. After all, it is not easy to refine a kind of elixir.
Wang Shouye took charge of refining these elixirs based on his family's needs.
"I didn't expect Brother Shouye to be able to refine Da Gu Yuan Dan at such a young age." Dongfang Yuxi showed "admiration" on her face, "Da Gu Yuan Dan is a good thing and has a wide range of applications. Once refined, It’s quite profitable. It just so happens that Brother Yu also knows a thing or two about Da Gu Yuan Dan. Why don’t we discuss it on the topic of Da Gu Yuan Dan? What do you think, Brother Shou Ye?”
Hearing this, Qian Xuefu's face changed slightly and he was about to stop him when he saw Wang Shouye had already nodded in agreement.
"Then follow Brother Dongfang's wishes."
Qian Xuefu couldn't help sighing: "Brother Shouye, you promised too readily. You have been fooled~ Dongfang Yuxi, because her family was poor, had long relied on refining Daguyuan Dan to make money and subsidize her family. . If you compare this with him, you will definitely suffer~"
The Dagu Yuan Dan is one of the more expensive third-grade elixirs. To refine it, the raw materials and other costs add up to fifteen hundred gold. The normal selling price of Dagu Yuan Dan is three hundred gold. Therefore, only by producing five pieces in one furnace can we barely maintain our capital.
Because of the high price, a third-level alchemist has limited opportunities to get started in a year. Even if the alchemist carefully ponders and digests each refining, trying to understand the gains and losses of that refining as much as possible, the progress will not be much faster.
"Dongfang Yuxi, are you many years older than Shouye?" Yuwen Nianjing couldn't help but help, "Refining the Dagu Yuan Dan is inherently difficult and requires time and age accumulation. With Shouye's age, refining the Dagu Yuan Pill is difficult." I'm afraid the number of Yuan Dan injections is not as much as a fraction of yours, right?"
Although she also lost the election, she came from the Yuwen family, a strong sixth-grade family, and her future development space would not be too small, so she didn't care so much about her failure.
"Mr. Qian, Miss Yuwen." Dongfang Yuxi didn't dare to offend the powerful sixth- and fifth-grade families, so she practiced Tai Chi with neither softness nor hardness, "It's natural for me Shouye to win the favor of the Master of Alchemy Cauldron. He has a unique side, Yu Xi just wants to learn from it."
Yuwen Nianjing opened her mouth softly and was still about to say something. Wang Shouye held up his hands and said: "Brother Qian, Miss Yuwen, thank you for your generous words. However, after all, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Even if you lose, You can also know your own shortcomings. Secondly, Shouye also has some experience in Daguyuan Dan, which may not be better than other elixirs."
Wang Shouzhe watched from the side and nodded secretly. His seventh brother had been as gentle as jade since he was a child and did not like to be tit-for-tat with others. However, he is extremely persistent in alchemy and is quite patient.
"Brother Shouye is right." Dongfang Yuxi smiled, "It's just a matter of communication. Please start as soon as possible."
Now that the two parties had reached an agreement, Gu Hanyu negotiated with Tianyuan Danfang.
Tianyuan Danfang is huge in scale, and Daguyuan Dan is an elixir that needs to be refined daily. The chief manager of the Danfang said that the preliminary work for two furnaces of Daguyuan Dan was about to be completed, and the Danfang was about to enter the state of collecting the Dan.
A furnace of elixirs often takes several days from preparation to refining, but the elixir collecting stage only takes an hour. This hour is the most testing moment for the alchemist's skill. The success of elixirs and the failure of elixirs, and the majority of good elixirs and bad elixirs occur within this hour.
In this case, Gu Hanyu asked them to directly compete in collecting pills.
Under the arrangement of the head of Tianyuan Danfang, the two of them entered the alchemy furnace room respectively, where there was a boy stoker to assist them.
It only takes about an hour.
Qian, Yuwen, and all the young alchemists who were willing to leave, all came to watch and see the final result.
…
An hour later, the doors of the two alchemy rooms opened almost at the same time, and Dongfang Yuxi and Wang Shouye walked out of them.
Refining the Great Solid Yuan Pill consumes a lot of energy and spiritual consciousness. Even if they just collect a pill, they are already very tired after more than an hour, and they all look tired at this moment.
The big bosses had been waiting for a long time, and immediately gathered around when they saw this.
"Yu Xi, how are you?"
Patriarch Bohua asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, ancestor, I performed well this time and I will definitely win." Dongfang Yuxi's lips curled up slightly and she smiled with determination, as if she already had a chance to win.
Ancestor Bohua immediately felt relieved.
When Wang Shouye heard this, he looked ashamed and didn't even dare to look at Wang Shouzhe: "Fourth brother, I didn't perform very well this time. It's worse than usual. I will definitely embarrass you... Maybe I'm too nervous. ”
Wang Shouzhe paused for a moment and said consolingly: "It doesn't matter, you are still young and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future."
When Wang Shouye heard this, he was not comforted at all. Instead, his head dropped even lower. He secretly blamed himself, why did he slip up at the critical moment?
"Hmph~"
Dongfang Yuxi heard the conversation between the two and snorted slightly.
If he hadn't been concerned that this was in public and needed to maintain the demeanor of an aristocratic family, he would have ridiculed Wang Shouye. If you don’t have the strength to come out and embarrass yourself, do you really think anyone can be an alchemist?
This victory over the "disciple" of the Master of Alchemy Cauldron is enough to prove that the Master of Alchemy Cauldron is blind and blind. He can not only take revenge on the Master of Alchemy Cauldron, but also raise the value of Dongfang Yuxi.
At this time, Gu Hanyu also came over to check the results of the alchemy.
"Fairy Gu, this is the Dagu Yuan Dan that I refined. Please accept it."
Dongfang Yuxi suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart, held her pill box in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Gu Hanyu.
Gu Hanyu took it, opened it, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
In the pill box in her hand, there were seven big Guyuan pills about the size of a fingernail lying quietly. They were round, green in color, and even had a slight shine on the surface. You could tell at a glance that they were in good condition.
"Seven Chengdan, in good condition." She looked at Dongfang Yuxi, her eyes showing admiration and regret, "It is indeed good to have such strength at your age. It is really a pity this time."
"Thank you Fairy Gu for your compliment."
Dongfang Yuxi smiled as warmly as jade, but sneered in her heart. Master Alchemy, Master Alchemy, will you secretly regret your ignorance?
With my alchemy skills, Dongfang Yuxi, my future achievements may not be lower than yours!
In fact, he can usually produce five to six pills. Occasionally, if his condition is not good, he may even produce only four pills. He was able to produce seven pills today. His condition and luck are really all over the place. It can be seen that even God is helping him.
All the big guys present were also extremely surprised. They did not expect Dongfang Yuxi to have such strength.
"Creating seven pills, this is an ability that only a mature third-grade alchemist can have. It's really amazing that he can have such strength at such a young age." Yuwen Jinghong, the elder of the Yuwen clan, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "If I had known earlier He has such strength..."
At this point, he sighed, thinking that this was the territory of Master Aland Cauldron, so he did not say the next words after all.
But the big guys present are all smart people, how could they not understand what he meant?
If Master Alchemy knew about this, he would probably regret confiscating Dongfang Yuxi as his disciple.
Behind the big guys, Qian Xuefu and Situ Nianjing couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"Oh~ What a pity~" Qian Xuefu looked regretful, "This Dongfang Yuxi is not usually at this level, and I don't know what kind of bad luck she got today."
Yu Wen Nianjing was so worried that she could only rub her hands together: "If Dongfang Yuxi performs poorly, Shouye will still have some chance. Now, wouldn't Shouye be doomed?"
The two of them felt regretful and couldn't help but look at Wang Shouye's expression. They saw that Wang Shouye's face was also full of shock and confusion, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible, "This, this, this... there seems to be something wrong."
"Brothers who keep their business."
Qian Xuefu thought Wang Shouye couldn't accept the fact that he lost, and was about to comfort him, but was interrupted by Dongfang Yuxi.
"Brother Shuye, it's your turn."
Dongfang Yuxi raised her hand and saluted Wang Shouye. She seemed graceful, but she could not hide the pride and expectation in her eyes.
Only then did Wang Shouye react. He quickly took out his pill box, held it in both hands and presented it to Gu Hanyu: "Sister Hanyu, please accept it."
When Gu Hanyu saw Dongfang Yuxi's seven Great Strengthening Pills, he actually had no hope for Wang Shouye.
But taking care of Wang Shouye's mood, she didn't say anything. She just took the pill box from his hand and opened it smoothly as before. When she left Changningwei, Wang Shouye had just come into contact with Daguyuan Dan.
Suddenly!
A box of neatly arranged Daguyuan Dan suddenly pierced her eyes.
Gu Hanyu was stunned immediately, her beautiful eyes widened unconsciously, and she was a little confused for a moment, feeling as if she was living in a dream.
Dongfang Yuxi's expression froze for a moment, her eyes widened, this, this, this, how is this possible? Impossible, no, this is fake...
"Fairy Gu, how many Chengdan are there?" Several bosses were far away and their sight was blocked by Dongfang Yuxi. They couldn't help but ask curiously.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of using spiritual senses in the alchemy workshop for fear of causing misunderstandings, they might have thought of using their spiritual senses directly to pry.
"Chengdan..." Gu Hanyu raised his eyes as he spoke and glanced at Wang Shouye with a strange look, "Eight. Excellent quality."
"What?! Eight?! Still in excellent condition..."
The big guys present were instantly shocked.
Yu Wen Jinghong, Qian Jingde and other big guys looked at each other, and then they all looked at Wang Shouye with strange eyes.
To create eight pills, only an experienced third-grade alchemist can do this.
Dongfang Yuxi can be regarded as a genius if she can produce seven pills at the age of thirty-seven or eighteen. Wang Shouye is even younger and can actually produce eight pills. This is a bit too great. Bar?
How did the Changning Wang family cultivate such a genius?
"Impossible!! There must be something wrong!"
At this time, Dongfang Yuxi finally recovered from the huge impact of the eight pills.
He grabbed the pill box and picked up a pill to look at it carefully.
However, the surface of the elixir in your hand is moist, there is a shimmer, and it even smells faintly of medicinal fragrance. It is clearly fresh out of the oven!
He nervously checked one after another, but still couldn't find any problems, and his face finally fell a little bit.
He suddenly lost his composure and roared at Wang Shouye: "You, you, you... didn't you mean you didn't perform well?"
"This... I really didn't perform well..." Wang Shouye scratched his head and looked aggrieved when faced with the roaring questions. "Usually when I am in good condition, I will most likely get nine pills. But this time I collected the pills. I was too nervous during the game, which affected my performance, and I only produced eight pieces.”
Only if you perform poorly can you achieve eight pills, but still "only"?
Upon hearing this, everyone present except Wang Shouzhe had strange expressions.
Dongfang Yuxi was so angry that her hands trembled and she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Making nine pills at once, this is the level of a top third-grade alchemist!
With such a level, at his age and cultivation level, as long as he reveals his achievements, any alchemy master, let alone the Alchemy Cauldron Master, will rush to admit him.
He actually pretended to look like he was about to lose, deliberately playing tricks on him. Is it fun to play tricks on people? ! ah? ! ! Is this interesting?
"Ahem~ Brother Shouye, it's almost over." Seeing Dongfang Yuxi's appearance, Qian Xuefu felt a little sympathy for him, and couldn't help but bumped into Wang Shouye quietly, "That boy Dongfang Yuxi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Don't deliberately make him angry. If he gets angry to death, be careful to come back to the Dongfang family to fight for you."
"Brother Qian, I didn't mean to make him angry..." Wang Shouye said weakly, "I have been immersed in alchemy all these years, and no one has ever told me what other people's level of alchemy is... I really I didn’t expect his strength to be so weak.”
"..." The corners of Qian Xuefu's mouth twitched. He was really shocked. There was such a thing? This kid keeps practicing and he suddenly becomes invincible without even knowing it.
For a moment, Qian Xuefu really felt sympathy for Dongfang Yuxi.
Poor Dongfang Yuxi, if she didn't insist on competing this time, no matter where she went, she would be praised and said that it was a pity that she was squeezed out of the quota.
But no one expected that Wang Shouye, who looked a bit naive and weak, turned out to be an extremely hard iron plate. Dongfang Yuxi kicked up and broke her foot.
When word got out today, everyone would only say that Master Alchemy had a ruthless vision and knew people as well as treasures. They would only say that Dongfang Yuxi overestimates her abilities and is obviously far inferior to others, but she still persists in her fight and refuses to admit defeat.
The reputation that Dongfang Yuxi had finally built up was destroyed in an instant.
What made Qian Xuefu even more speechless was that that kid didn't even know how powerful he was...
Only Wang Shouzhe still looked calm as usual.
Just kidding, his seventh brother Wang Shouye now has the third level of Lihuo bloodline. Now Daguyuan Dan needs to be refined for more than a hundred furnaces every year, and the raw materials cost less than 200,000 dry gold!
Moreover, he has been practicing for several years, and so far he is far from making up for his losses. It is conceivable that with such a waste of resources, even a pig can make elixirs!
Besides the Wang family, who else could spend so much money to train alchemists?
