Chapter 281 Undercurrent

The next day, Zhang Ye was as if he had been given a shot. He successfully forged five or six alchemy treasures in a row. The other masters had not yet succeeded in forging any of them, and his face turned purple with jealousy.

At noon, a handyman apprentice came to report: "Zhang Zhang stove, someone wants to see you."

Zhang Ye stopped what he was doing and was a little confused. He had no acquaintances in the Nantianfu area. Who wanted to see me?

But Zhang Ye is still going to take a look, what if it's an old friend who has ascended to the world of cultivation?

Arriving at the reception room, Zhang Ye found that he really didn't recognize the person who came unexpectedly. He was dressed in white, had a kind-hearted face, and looked to be about thirty or forty years old. He was a god.

Without waiting for Zhang Ye to speak, this man stood up first and bowed respectfully: "I am in Wujiang, the shopkeeper of Lingmiao Pharmacy, and I am friends with Deacon Wang. He said that you can create a kind of elixir gourd that can preserve elixirs and never spoil. I also I’ve seen that elixir gourd, it’s really good. I came here just to order a batch from you.”

Shopkeeper Wu got straight to the point, introduced his identity and explained his purpose. Zhang Ye understood that he was the business introduced to him by Deacon Wang.

Really, I don’t even say hello in advance when introducing business.

Zhang Ye cursed in his heart, but still said politely: "Shopkeeper Wu, I have long admired you."

Zhang Ye was walking around Nantianfu City yesterday and heard about this magical pharmacy, which is one of the best elixir shops in Nantianfu City. It is also reasonable to want to order a batch of elixir gourds for storing elixirs.

However, shopkeeper Wu did not place the order through the official channels of Lingbaosi. Instead, he went directly to Zhang Ye, which was equivalent to doing a private job, which would make Zhang Ye earn more.

Therefore, Zhang Ye's attitude was quite respectful.

In addition, since it is a business, there is no need to be embarrassed and negotiate with each other's terms.

Shopkeeper Wu offered fifteen pieces of middle-grade immortal stones for each pill gourd. Although this was five yuan more than the market price, it was still much less than Zhang Ye expected. However, Zhang Ye is not well-known now, so he might be able to get such a unit price because of Deacon Wang's favor. Zhang Ye is a person who knows how to measure, so he agreed.

Shopkeeper Wu needed a total of thirty pairs of pill gourds and stipulated that they should be delivered within a month, and gave all the remuneration to Zhang Ye on the spot.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Wu, I wonder if your store sells alchemy scriptures?" Zhang Ye felt that Shopkeeper Wu was quite upright, so he asked. He has never forged Tuanzi into a spiritual treasure, mainly because Tuanzi doesn't know how to refine the elixir.

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned: "Zhang Zhanglu also studies alchemy?" Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile, "Look at what I'm asking, if you can refine alchemy spiritual treasures, you must be proficient in alchemy."

"Shopkeeper Wu praised me, I'm just a little interested." Zhang Ye certainly couldn't say anything, so he said it perfunctorily.

Shopkeeper Wu pondered for a moment, then took out a jade slip directly from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Zhang Ye: "This is the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which records the formulas and refining experience of more than a dozen basic elixirs. It is not considered precious. Give it to Zhang is in charge of the stove."

Shopkeeper Wu wanted to make friends with Zhang Ye, so Zhang Ye didn't refuse and regarded it as extra reward for refining the elixir gourd.

After the business was settled, shopkeeper Wu said goodbye and left: "Zhang Zhanglu, if one month is not enough, just let me know."

The average furnace master can only successfully refine one piece per day. If you are unlucky, you can only succeed once every two or three days. Shopkeeper Wu only knows that Zhang Ye can refine the elixir gourd, but does not know Zhang Ye's success rate, so he said this.

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "I will send someone to your company in three days."

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly, he cupped his hands and left.

Zhang Ye did not immediately go to the forging workshop to create a spiritual treasure. Instead, he returned to his residence first and took out the dumplings: "I will give you three days to thoroughly study the "Compendium of Materia Medica"."

"Zhang Ye, I get sleepy when I study. Can three years be allowed?" Tuanzi wanted to help Zhang Ye, but he was too lazy, so he bargained.

"Just three days!" Zhang Ye threatened, "Otherwise, I will use you as a chamber pot!"

Tuanzi sighed and took the jade slip, while Ahua gloated at the sidelines.

Zhang Ye saw this scene and said: "If you can do it, I will forge you into an innate spiritual treasure."

Beat a stick and give a candy. Only in this way can fighting spirit be stimulated.

When Tuanzi heard this, he felt like he had been given a shot of blood, and he started learning eagerly. After all, he had been bullied a lot by Ahua a while ago, and he couldn't wait to get revenge as a Lingbao.

This time, it was Ahua's turn to sigh. Zhang Ye didn't know how to create a Taoist spiritual treasure that matched the knife yet, and he didn't make a promise, but he thought of something and took out the Ancestral Dragon's Tooth.

"I was so busy in the past few years that I forgot that the inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon Fang has been started. You can use it." Ahua failed to pass the test before, but he can still take advantage of the ready-made inheritance.

Ahua happily took over the Ancestral Dragon's Fang. The two living treasures competed intently and couldn't wait to improve themselves.

Zhang Ye arranged all this, returned to the forging workshop, and started working hard.

The Lingbao Dan Gourd was successfully built like water. The other furnace masters felt that working under the same roof with Zhang Ye was simply torture. After they finally completed the day's tasks, they left quickly, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.

A few furnace leaders were unlucky and failed more than a dozen times in a row. Even if today's task was not completed, they had no shame in staying and left in despair.

The apprentices could not leave until after get off work hours, and Zhang Ye did not need helpers, so a group of people stood aside and looked at Zhang Ye with admiration. Zhang Ye was a legend when he was an apprentice. Who would have thought that he would be able to torture other furnace masters until they were just promoted to furnace master?

Zhang Ye ignored what others thought and focused on making spiritual treasures. For others, one day of his work was equivalent to half a month of others, but Zhang Ye had to save a lot of money and a lot of contribution points. His goal was higher than others, so he always felt that it was not enough. He worked until midnight before he got off work.

However, Zhang Ye did not rest after work. After eating, he went to the library of the Lingbao Division. As the furnace master, he paid a certain contribution value and borrowed the secret manual of the skills.

Although he could draw rewards to improve his cultivation through the system, Zhang Ye felt that it was still not fast enough. Now that he had an immortal body, he could cultivate his realm through the skills. Why not give it a try?

Therefore, even in the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, Zhang Ye still sat cross-legged, meditated to condense his immortal power, and comprehended the way of heaven.

In addition to Zhang Ye, there was another group of people who did not sleep, that is, the furnace masters who felt precarious.

There were about a dozen furnace masters, gathered together, staring at the burning oil lamp.

"If Zhang Ye continues to do this, the forging workshop will not be so easy to deal with!" A furnace master spoke angrily, breaking the silence.

"That's right, his high success rate is his business, but this contrast makes us look good."

"We must punish him so that the boy will behave himself!"

"He is backed by Deacon Wang, how dare you punish him?"

...

Everyone was complaining. Usually, the furnace masters fought with each other, but at this moment they were surprisingly united.

"I heard that Deacon Wang will soon be promoted to the head of the Lingbao Department's Business Department. When he leaves, we can deal with Zhang Ye!"

"Everyone jointly nominated me to take over Deacon Wang's job. When I take over, I will be the first to kill Zhang Ye!"

"Bullshit, why don't I take over Deacon Wang's job?"

The furnace masters cannot decide who will be promoted to deacon, but they can also fantasize. For this matter they cannot decide, the furnace masters are in chaos again.

"Stop arguing. Do you think Zhang Ye is working so hard because he got the instruction from Deacon Wang to take over?" Someone suddenly said this, and the furnace masters instantly gathered as a whole.

"Bullshit, he has only been the furnace master for a few days. Even if he works day and night, he can't reach 100,000 contribution points in just a few days, right?"

"That's right, even if Deacon Wang is promoted to the head, he can't cover the sky with one hand. The rules should still be followed."

After talking for a long time, everyone still had no clue. At this time, a voice suddenly spoke: "If you can listen to my arrangements, you will definitely make 9527 disappear into ashes."

The furnace masters looked in the direction of the voice to see who was so arrogant, but after seeing this, everyone shut up.

The person who came was Deacon Qian.

Deacon Wang has always been in charge of the forging workshop. What is Deacon Qian doing here? Oh, Deacon Qian has already explained his purpose, which is to target Zhang Ye.

But why would a deacon target a small furnace master? The furnace masters thought for a moment, and then they realized that Deacon Qian and Deacon Wang had always been at odds. Deacon Wang had trained Zhang Ye and was about to be promoted to the head. Deacon Qian could not stop him, so he wanted to destroy Zhang Ye.

There may be other reasons, but the furnace masters understood this reason enough.

The furnace masters thought that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and with the help of Deacon Qian, it would be much easier to deal with Zhang Ye.

"Subordinates, just follow Deacon Qian's orders!" The furnace masters looked at each other and saluted respectfully.

Deacon Qian smiled happily, and I don't know what he was thinking.

...

The next day, Zhang Ye went to the forging workshop early. He had been sitting all night last night. Except for being a little tired, he was full of energy. Moreover, after a night of practice, Zhang Ye felt that his realm had loosened up. In a few days, he could practice to the middle stage of human immortal by himself.

Entering the forging workshop, Zhang Ye found that he was the first one again, and he came earlier than the apprentices.

He followed the procedure and sat at his furnace to forge the spiritual treasures of the alchemy. When other furnace masters came to work, Zhang Ye's desk was already piled with spiritual treasures.

The furnace masters felt angry when they saw it. If it was refined, it was refined. Why put it on the desk to show off? Damn it.

However, there was a hint of pride in the eyes of the furnace masters. They sat down tacitly and started to work.

After a while, Deacon Wang hurried to the forging workshop. The furnace masters stood up and saluted. Deacon Wang said: "We received a military supply order last night, which required the creation of 100 alchemy furnaces for low-grade innate spiritual treasures. The forging workshop will temporarily stop other orders and give priority to completing the alchemy furnace."

"Because it is an expedited order, the contribution value will be tripled. For each successful refining of a spiritual treasure alchemy furnace, 30 contribution points will be awarded."

After Deacon Wang finished speaking, the furnace masters seemed very surprised and cheered for a while, but there was no surprise in their eyes.

Deacon Wang announced that the task was completed and distributed the forging drawings to everyone. When it was Zhang Ye's turn, Deacon Wang looked at him meaningfully. Zhang Ye was good at forging alchemy-type spiritual treasures, and this was his chance.

Zhang Ye naturally understood what Deacon Wang meant, and after receiving the drawings, he concentrated on forging.

After Deacon Wang left, the furnace masters looked at each other and walked towards Zhang Ye.
