Chapter 285 Stormy Weather

When the alchemy furnace explosion came to light, Deacon Qian and a dozen of his accomplices in charge of the furnace were taken to the army and executed for questioning in order to appease the morale of the army.

Deacon Wang was reinstated, and the transfer order for promotion to chief was also sent to him. He could take office after finishing the work at hand.

On Zhang Ye's side, he was successful in solving the case. The person in charge applied to the superiors and gave him 5,000 contribution points. He suddenly felt like a turned serf and started singing.

As for the hundred yuan of high-grade heavenly stones that Zhang Ye extorted from Deacon, no one seemed to remember it, so Zhang Ye silently accepted it.

There are a dozen furnace masters missing in the forge, but it has no impact on the operation of the forge. It's just that the remaining furnace masters look at Zhang Ye wrongly.

In Lingbao Division, intrigues and deceit were common, and deaths were common, but Zhang Ye killed more than a dozen furnace masters by himself, and also took down a deacon. This record is unprecedented.

The furnace masters were afraid of Zhang Ye, but the apprentices worshiped Zhang Ye to death. After killing more than a dozen furnace masters, wouldn't the position be vacant? The apprentices finally felt like they were going to make it through.

If someone outside asks who Zhang Ye is, the apprentices will definitely answer that they are parents.

…

No matter what others think or think, Zhang Ye is doing his own thing peacefully. When he returns to his residence after get off work, Zhang Ye looks at Tuanzi: "How is your study of the Alchemy Classic?"

Tuanzi: "That's almost it."

"About that, how much difference is there?" Zhang Ye was busy the past few days, but he didn't have time to take care of Tuanzi. He gave Tuanzi three days to meditate on the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Several days have passed, and the task has not been completed yet? Zhang Ye was very unhappy.

"There are still thirteen pills left to finish." Tuanzi's voice was a bit proud, as if he was begging for praise.

Zhang Ye looked at the dumplings for a long time and said, "You are on your way. There are a total of fourteen types of elixirs in the Materia Medica, and you have only learned one? Is this called almost the same?"

Zhang Ye used the bone knife and beat Tuanzi until he howled miserably. Tuanzi begged for mercy: "Brother Ye, I'm guilty, but you can't blame me entirely. My current level is too low and the Alchemy Sutra is too profound. If you raise me to Innate Spiritual Treasure, if you learn and practice at the same time, you will definitely get faster.”

When Zhang Ye heard this, it seemed that this was true. Tuanzi was just an alchemy cauldron from the lower realm. The elixir contained the way of heaven, so it was understandable that it was difficult to master.

Zhang Ye stopped and asked, "What kind of elixir have you learned?"

Tuanzi said weakly: "The elixir of enlightenment."

The elixir of enlightenment contains strong immortal power. It is used by low-level immortals to understand the way of heaven and break through the realm. However, it is not easy to use when you reach the level of earthly immortals. After all, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is only a basic elixir scripture.

Zhang Ye was on the verge of a breakthrough, so this elixir could be used. He thought for a moment, then took the dumplings to the forging workshop.

Zhang Ye has mastered the refining of low-grade innate spiritual treasures of the alchemy type. Building a spiritual treasure alchemy cauldron is not a problem. He can extract the spirit of the weapon from the magical treasure and pour it into the spiritual treasure. Although Zhang Ye has never done it, he can master all methods. Yes, it's not even a problem.

Not long after, a simple innate Lingbao-level alchemy cauldron was successfully refined, and Tuanzi took possession of it, integrating it with the artistic conception of alchemy in the Lingbao. It itself was made from elixirs, and now that I have come into contact with alchemy, my understanding of alchemy has improved by leaps and bounds. It feels like opening the door to a new world, and many confusions have been solved.

Zhang Ye used his contribution points in exchange for a batch of medicinal materials, which were all used to refine the elixir of enlightenment, and gave them to Tuanzi to refine.

Some people may ask, why doesn't Zhang Ye directly exchange for elixirs with contribution points? Because the finished elixir is expensive. The value of the medicinal materials is only a few tenths of the finished elixir. Zhang Ye has the powerful tool of dumplings, so why spend the unjust money?

"Elixir of Enlightenment, make more than ten pills every day, otherwise I will destroy you!" Zhang Ye had already made up his mind. If his cultivation was not enough, he would use pills to make up for it.

…

Ahua looked at Tuanzi's miserable look and was a little gloating. Zhang Ye suddenly asked: "How is Zulong's inheritance being digested?"

Ahua's face stiffened: "That's almost it."

"It's almost the same again? How much different is it?" Zhang Ye had a dark look on his face.

"The only thing left is the ancient scrolls." Ahua paused, "Isn't it amazing?"

"The Ancestral Dragon Inheritance, there is only one Taikoo scroll in total, and you are even more hateful than Tuanzi!" Zhang Ye was furious, and took the dumpling and swung Ahua again.

"When you finish digesting the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance, I will fuse you with the Ancestral Dragon's Fang and upgrade it to a spiritual treasure." Zhang Ye also knew that the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance cannot be digested in two or three days. After finishing Ahua, he encouraged After a while.

The Ancestral Dragon's Fang can kill golden immortals. If it can be fused with it, wouldn't it be amazing? Ahua was full of fighting spirit and studied the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance day and night.

Three years sounds like a long time, but there is actually not much time left for Zhang Ye. After explaining the matter of the two living treasures, Zhang Ye went to bed cross-legged and practiced cultivation instead of sleeping.

Tuanzi spent the whole night refining the elixir, and before dawn the next day, the elixir came out of the furnace, and the aroma was overflowing.

There are six pills in a batch, and the quality is excellent. Zhang Ye took one pill of Enlightenment, and it tasted good. His cultivation, which was originally at a bottleneck, suddenly broke through and reached the middle stage of human immortality.

Zhang Ye was very satisfied, praised him a few times, and swallowed the remaining elixir for breakfast. Before going to the forging workshop, Zhang Ye ordered: "I will take ten pills at noon."

A generation of pill-eating madmen was born.

…

Zhang Ye came to the forging workshop, making spiritual treasures and digesting the remaining potency of the medicine without any delay. When it was almost noon, Deacon Wang suddenly came.

To correct you, Deacon Wang now has the title of principal, but because the work at hand has not been handed over yet, he is still in charge of the forging shop.

"Dear forge masters, today a new colleague will join the forge." Wang continued, "Xiao Hai, please introduce yourself."

The crowd then noticed that there was a person following Wang, with red lips and white teeth, and handsome eyebrows and eyes. If he was not a man, I am afraid that this glance would attract many forge masters.

Xiao Hai's first impression was that he was a quiet and shy boy. His face was a little red, and his voice was gentle: "Hello, seniors, my name is Bai Yunhai, I have studied the way of forging, and from now on I will work in the forge. Please take care of me."

Bai Yunhai's temperament is very friendly, and the forge masters do not dislike this guy. They all applauded to welcome him.

Zhang Ye looked at Bai Yunhai and was not confused by his appearance. This forge master who came from the air was actually an early stage of earthly immortal cultivation? Many deacons of Lingbao Division have not yet reached the level of earthly immortal cultivation. Why would Bai Yunhai be relegated to the forge?

After Bai Yunhai finished his introduction, he took out some gifts and gave them to the apprentices. The apprentices were a little dissatisfied with the airborne furnace master because it would reduce the number of furnace masters. However, Bai Yunhai treated people well and the apprentices soon liked him.

"This is a little specialty I brought from my hometown. It's not a respect." Bai Yunhai took the gift box and handed it to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye was a little confused: "Do you know me?"

Bai Yunhai smiled like a girl: "In the military supply furnace explosion case, Zhang turned the tide and broke the stone. How dare I not know your name?"

Zhang Ye said a few polite words, but he was more certain in his heart that Bai Yunhai was not simple.

"Xiao Zhang, come out!" At this time, Wang Zhushi called Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye and Bai Yunhai apologized and followed Wang Zhushi out of the forging workshop.

"What do you think of this person?" Wang Zhushi looked at Zhang Ye and asked inexplicably.

"Not simple." Zhang Ye didn't understand what he meant, but still answered honestly.

Wang Zhushi said: "There is a general manager in Lingbao Division, named Bai Lianshan."

The general manager is a higher position than the general manager. Wang Zhushi suddenly mentioned the general manager, and of course he had his reasons.

Zhang Ye thought about it for a while and understood: "Bai Yunhai and Bai Lianshan are relatives."

Wang Zhushi nodded: "Yes, Bai Yunhai and General Manager Bai are uncle and nephew, and it was General Manager Bai's idea to arrange Bai Yunhai to enter the forging workshop as the furnace master."

At this point, Wang Zhushi looked at Zhang Ye solemnly: "This time, don't argue with him."

Everyone is a smart person, even if Zhang Ye didn't say it so clearly, he knew what Wang Zhushi meant.

What to argue for? Of course, it's for the position of the forging workshop deacon! Zhang Ye worked so hard that even a blind man could see that Zhang Ye wanted to get promoted.

However, Bai Yunhai came to the forging workshop to serve as the furnace master at this critical juncture. It is obvious that General Manager Bai is paving the way for his nephew to be promoted to the deacon.

In other words, Zhang Ye met an opponent, and an opponent with a general manager as a backer.

Zhang Ye understood the key, but his face was calm: "Don't argue? Your meaning is still that of Bai Zongguan."

Master Wang hesitated for a moment: "My meaning."

If Master Wang conveyed the order of Bai Zongguan, then Zhang Ye would be very disappointed, but if it was Master Wang's own meaning, it proved that Master Wang cared about him.

So Zhang Ye was very happy, but he didn't show it, turned and walked towards the forging workshop: "Master Wang, please go back, I have to work."

Master Wang was a little confused, saying so much to Zhang Ye, at least he should express his attitude. Master Wang was about to ask, but suddenly stopped. Zhang Ye did this, in fact, he had already expressed his attitude, to fight to the end.

Looking at Zhang Ye's back, Master Wang did not persuade him again. If he didn't fight, he would not be Zhang Ye.

When Zhang Ye re-entered the forging workshop, the furnace master and the apprentice burst into exclamations. In just a short while, Bai Yunhai forged a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, which was a skill only a deacon had!

The forge masters asked Bai Yunhai about forging techniques, and the apprentices also circled around Bai Yunhai. A few days ago, Zhang Ye was the center of the forging workshop, but now, the center has changed hands.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't care about these things. Zhang Ye felt a little bit of being crushed. This Bai Yunhai, with outstanding looks, friendly personality, strong background, and deeper forging skills than Zhang Ye at present, compared with him, Zhang Ye really couldn't compete with him.

However, Zhang Ye quickly recovered his mentality and did his own things peacefully. Jealousy is useless. Talk less and do more. This is the way of survival for Lingbao Division.

Bai Yunhai greeted everyone, but his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhang Ye. Under the gentle appearance, his eyes were surprisingly cold.
