Chapter 835: Bullying the Inferior and Flattering the Superior
Song Wen led Le Liang into the cave, took out the best spiritual tea, brewed tea and poured water, and entertained him.
After a period of false flattery, the two became familiar with each other.
During the casual chat with Le Liang, Song Wen solved some doubts in his mind: why Wuji Sect was so short of third-level alchemists.
Twenty years ago, during the battle in the Northern Territory, the Wuji Sect’s front-line base camp was attacked by the demons. Except for Yin Shuo who was personally in charge of the front line and escaped, all others were injured and became blood food for the demons, including six third-level alchemists.
In addition, in the past thirty years, Wuji Sect has lost four third-level alchemists due to exhaustion of life span, accidental death, and going crazy while practicing corpse-path skills.
Wuji Sect was in a situation where there were no third-level alchemists available.
At the same time, Song Wen also learned about his salary.
As the deputy hall master, Song Wen can receive ten high-quality spirit stones from Wuji Sect every month. If you want to get more spiritual stones, Song Wen needs to complete some sect tasks.
After a quarter of an hour of greeting, Le Liang finally got to the point and explained his purpose.
"Fellow Daoist Gou Jun. The sect has some transactions with the Cui family in the Southern Region, which involve three elixirs, namely Ghost Shadow Pill, Soul-Returning Pill, and Ghost Power Pill. The refining of these three elixirs will be left to you."
Le Liang handed Song Wen a jade slip.
"Here are the recipes and specific quantities of the three elixirs. You can go to the Treasure Hall of the sect to withdraw the spiritual medicines needed for refining. You can dispatch the low-level alchemists in the Alchemy Hall as long as they are willing."
Ghost Shadow Pill, Soul-Returning Pill, and Ghost Power Pill are first-level, second-level, and third-level elixirs respectively. Song Wen does not need to refine the first and second-level elixirs himself. Therefore, Le Liang said that Song Wen can dispatch low-level alchemists.
Song Wen took the jade slip, explored it, and asked in confusion.
"These three kinds of elixirs are all used to refine ghosts. The Cui family mainly cultivates ghosts, so they should be very good at refining these three kinds of elixirs. Why did they buy them from our Wuji Sect?"
"The Cui family has a great demand for these three kinds of elixirs, and the elixirs they refine themselves cannot meet their needs. And our Wuji Sect has several spiritual fields, which are just suitable for cultivating the spiritual medicines needed for these three kinds of elixirs. In view of this, the sect decided to refine these three kinds of elixirs in exchange for the materials needed by the sect from the Cui family."
After explaining the reason, Le Liang said again.
"The next transaction will be in a year. Fellow Daoist Gou Jun, you must remember and don't delay the transaction."
Song Wen nodded and said, "Palace Master, don't worry, I will do my best."
The number of ghost power pills mentioned in the jade slip is 100.
It takes about three days to refine a furnace of ghost power pills, and each furnace can produce three to five pills.
In other words, Song Wen only needs two to three months to refine 100 ghost power pills.
As for the other two kinds of elixirs, Song Wen did not intend to refine them himself, but let the low-level alchemists in the Dan Palace refine them. Anyway, the remuneration for these alchemists is paid by Wuji Sect, and he does not need to spend a single spirit stone.
After seeing Le Liang off, Song Wen went to the Dan Palace of Wuji Sect alone.
The Dan Palace occupies an independent mountain peak, and people who are not from Dan Peak are not allowed to enter the mountain at will.
Song Wen walked into the hall located on the mountainside.
There were many people coming and going in the hall, but they were basically Qi training cultivators, foundation building cultivators were rare, and Jindan cultivators were not seen.
When these people saw Song Wen enter the hall and felt the momentum emanating from Song Wen, they all showed awe and took the initiative to make way for Song Wen.
At the same time, these people had a bit of curiosity on their faces.
They were curious about the identity of Song Wen, a person they had never met before.
Song Wen walked to a stone counter, where several beautiful female cultivators stood.
"Step forward..."
The female cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training who was closest to Song Wen was about to speak when she was pushed aside by a female cultivator at the early stage of foundation building next to her.
The former was a little indignant and turned to look at the latter, but saw a vicious look.
The female cultivator at the Qi training stage was immediately silent, put away all her dissatisfaction, and stepped aside obediently.
"Junior Shu Niang, meet the senior. Forgive me for my poor eyesight and not recognizing the senior. May I ask your name?" The female cultivator at the foundation building stage said flatteringly.
Song Wen did not reply, but threw his identity token on the counter.
Shu Niang picked up the token, identified it, and immediately walked out of the counter, holding the token in both hands, bowed and said.
"Meet Deputy Hall Master Gou Jun."
She was wearing a tube top and a long gown on her upper body. When she bent down, a large area of snow-white suddenly appeared in Song Wen's eyes.
Song Wen took the token and said slowly, "Please help me publish a message. The sect needs to refine a batch of ghost pills and soul-returning pills. The alchemists who can refine these two pills and are willing to participate in this mission should wait for me here at noon three days later."
"Yes!" Shu Niang had a flattering smile on her face, "Deputy Hall Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Prepare an alchemy room for me." Song Wen said.
Shu Niang raised her hand and led her to the depths of the hall.
"The first-class alchemy room is still available. Deputy Hall Master, please follow me."
After saying that, she twisted her waist and walked slowly.
In the depths of the hall, there are three corridors built by drilling rocks. Shu Niang led Song Wen to the corridor on the far right.
"The sect's alchemy rooms are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. The first-class is the alchemy room with the most abundant spiritual energy, the strongest formation restrictions, and the least likely to be disturbed." Shu Niang introduced as she walked.
Soon, the two came to an alchemy room.
Shu Niang took out a formation plate and opened the restrictions and stone door of the alchemy room.
"Deputy Palace Master, please come in." Shu Niang stood at the door and bowed.
Song Wen walked into the alchemy room, looked around for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Shu Niang at the door said again.
"Deputy Palace Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Song Wen raised his hand and threw the identity token in his hand to the other party.
"Take my token and go to the Treasure Hall to withdraw ten doses of Ghost Power Pills."
Shu Niang looked happy, as if it was a great honor to be able to work for Song Wen.
After taking the token, she hurriedly responded.
"Deputy Palace Master, wait a moment, I will go now."
After that, she hurriedly flew away on the sword.
Song Wen took out the recipe of the Ghost Power Pill and began to comprehend it carefully.
About two quarters of an hour later, Shu Niang came back and handed a storage bag to Song Wen.
"Deputy Palace Master, I've got the elixir."
Song Wen nodded and took the storage bag.
"Deputy Palace Master, is there anything else I can do for you? No matter what it is, I will do my best."
Shu Niang's tone was a bit coy and charming.
Inadvertently, she pulled her bra, revealing a larger area of white.
Song Wen ignored it and said lightly.
"No need, you can go down."
"Yes."
Shu Niang was slightly disappointed, put down Song Wen's identity token and the forbidden array of the alchemy room, and walked out.
