Chapter 141 Commission

The banquet held in Zhigang Palace did not last too long, and everyone dispersed.

According to what Wei Zhong learned from Wang Lihua, this was just a small banquet, and there would be another banquet in Yunzhou City.

At that time, he would invite all the Taoist friends he was familiar with to witness the matter of accepting disciples together.

After all, Wang Lihua, as a member of the Wang family, was not only a third-level formation master, but also a Jindan cultivator. His connections in places like Yunzhou were not comparable to those of his subordinate Luohe Mansion.

He also enthusiastically invited Wei Zhong to the banquet, but was rejected by Wei Zhong on the grounds of cultivation.

The other party was not annoyed and continued to communicate enthusiastically with Wei Zhong.

During the banquet, there were also several Jindan cultivators who wanted to curry favor with Wei Zhong, the master of Danqi, and came to toast from time to time. Wei Zhong maintained his proper demeanor and responded one by one.

At this time, the two people from Qingmu Sect also came over and greeted Wei Zhong.

Holding the wine glass, he bowed and said:

"Hello, Master Wei!"

Wei Zhong raised his glass in response:

"You two Daoists look unfamiliar, are you from other prefectures?"

The leader Yao Zhengsheng smiled and said:

"We are from Qingmu Sect in Mangyuan Prefecture. My name is Yao Zhengsheng, and this is my junior brother Yi Liu. We two traveled here and had a drink at the invitation of Daoist Song."

"Qingmu Sect?" Xie Linghua heard the name of this sect and understood it in her heart. No wonder Wei Zhong had said so before.

"So you are two fellows from Qingmu Sect. You two have traveled through many cities and must have spent a lot of time here."

Yi Liu shook his head:

"It's only a few years, which is nothing compared to the long life span of Jindan cultivators like us.

In the past, I was trapped in a small place and didn't know that I was narrow-minded. Now that I have stepped out into the outside world, I know that there are many heroes in the world..."

Yi Liu looked emotional, but Wei Zhong said:

"Friend Yi Dao, what you said makes sense..."

The three of them talked for a while, and Yao Zhengsheng asked to make an elixir.

After hearing this, Wei Zhong readily agreed:

"Do you know the rules of my elixir making?"

Both nodded:

"We have already asked about it."

'Very good, it seems that you are well prepared. ’

Wei Zhong took the various spiritual medicines handed over by the two and instructed:

"In one month, you two can come to Qingbo Island to take the spiritual medicine."

"Thank you, Master Wei!"

······

After the banquet, Wei Zhong said goodbye to his fellows and left with the two women on the Nine-Colored.

On the bird's back, Xie Linghua asked:

"The Qingmu Sect was so domineering at the beginning, why is the master helping them to make medicine now?"

Wei Zhong picked up the other party's little hand and rubbed it in his palm:

"Silly girl, if I refuse in person, wouldn't it be inconsistent with my usual style of doing things. In order to refuse the two people, my current reputation has been affected, but the gain is not worth the loss.

The current Qingmu Sect is not worth my reputation being damaged like this..."

Wei Zhong's remarks did not convince Xie Linghua. It seems that the latter's impression of Qingmu Sect is extremely bad.

Looking back, it seems that since the Black Lake Island, Xie Linghua has been in charge of the island's affairs, and the other party has more exchanges with the subordinate forces of Qingmu Sect.

This impression was probably left at that time.

Ling Ziwei, who was standing by, was quite curious about the past of the two. Knowing that she could not get any information from Wei Zhong, she pulled Xie Linghua's sleeve and asked.

Xie Linghua told everything she knew, and in a blink of an eye, she told him everything that had happened, including many parts that Wei Zhong had never known.

Including but not limited to the Qingmu Sect disciples relying on their status to lower the price of the spiritual objects produced on Black Lake Island.

After listening, Ling Ziwei was quite emotional:

"Almost all the big sects in the world are like this. My Ling family was also oppressed by the Jindan forces and could not raise their heads.

It's just that the Qingmu Sect dominates a prefecture and acts more domineeringly."

When the Ling family was still a foundation-building family, they also survived in the cracks of the Jindan forces.

Fortunately, there are more Jindan forces in Luohe Prefecture, and there is no scene of the Mangyuan Prefecture dominating alone, which is still acceptable.

After Ling Hua met Sikong Changming, a Jindan cultivator, the situation improved.

After that, Ling Hua and Ling Ziwei both formed a pill, which completely reversed the predicament of the Ling family and made them the top family in Luohe Prefecture.

After a short conversation, the three returned to Qingbo Island and went their separate ways to practice in seclusion.

This has been the norm for decades. For practitioners, if they want to improve their realm, they must give up most of their time.

In the cave, Wei Zhong frowned as he looked at the elixir in front of him.

There are two kinds of elixirs that Yao Zhengsheng commissioned to be refined, the Haoyuan Dan used for the spiritual practice of forming a pill, and the Jinchan Dan used for the physical practice of forming a pill, which is also a third-level elixir.

Wei Zhong had never refined a elixir like the Jinchan Dan, but after looking through the elixir formula, he became familiar with it and had a much better grasp of refining it.

However, Wei Zhong's worries were not about this.

With the blessing of his fourth-level alchemy technique, there was no possibility of any accidents in the refining of the Jinchan Dan.

Wei Zhong was concerned that he would refine it too well.

This was Wei Zhong's biggest worry after his alchemy technique improved.

Now Wei Zhong can refine Haoyuan Pills with a 60:40 split between the top and middle grades, with very little low-grade output, which can be said to be his superb alchemy skills.

For this reason, Wei Zhong even improved the quality of Qingbo Island's spiritual pill business, mainly producing middle-grade Haoyuan Pills, and occasionally deliberately refining low-grade pills as a by-product.

As for the top-grade pills, some are kept for his own practice, and the rest are handed over to Yunji Chamber of Commerce for sale.

Yao Zhengsheng asked him to refine pills, so he was naturally aiming for the middle-grade Haoyuan Pills.

Wei Zhong thought about it and made up his mind.

Of the ten pills, only one top-grade one was kept, and the others were offset by middle-grade and low-grade ones.

It was not that Wei Zhong wanted to embezzle other people's elixirs, but it was a helpless move to cover up his own ability.

If he really exposed his alchemy skills, it would not be long before a Yuanying cultivator came to his house and asked him to make pills for his forces.

In this way, Wei Zhong had to use the signboard of Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and owed the Chamber of Commerce a favor.

The troubles after exposing his own alchemy level made Wei Zhong's scalp numb when he thought about it.

Shaking his head, Wei Zhong started to refine pills directly.

In just half a month, Wei Zhong finished refining all the elixirs.

According to his own standards, he took 20% of the refined elixirs.

He also adjusted the grade and quantity of Haoyuan Dan and put them into the pill bottle.

Looking at the pill bottles on the ground, Wei Zhong suddenly felt that he was still too ostentatious. He took out the lower-grade pills to replace some of the middle-grade elixirs, and continued to reduce the number of upper-grade elixirs for the second time. Wei Zhong was satisfied.

After packing up the Haoyuan Pill, Wei Zhong looked at another kind of Jinchan Pill. This kind of pill was purple-gold in color, slightly different from the golden color of the Haoyuan Pill.

In the early stage of refining, Wei Zhong divided the middle and lower grades into 28. Later, after becoming proficient, he was able to make a furnace of middle and lower grades, middle grades, and upper grades, with a ratio of 4:4:2.

For this reason, Wei Zhong had to take out half of the upper grades and mainly keep the middle and lower grade elixirs.

'It's really troublesome after the improvement of this alchemy technique. Now I have to deliberately hide my shortcomings when helping others to refine pills. '

Wei Zhong complained in his heart, put away all the elixirs, and came out of retreat to call Hu Jinchuan.

Looking at the young cultivator in front of him, Wei Zhong said:

"Two Jindan cultivators will come to my house in half a month. Please hand this storage bag to them on my behalf."

Wei Zhong handed the storage bag containing the elixir to the other party, who was a little at a loss after receiving it.

"Master, this..."

Hu Jinchuan knew without thinking that the storage bag contained extremely precious things, and he would not have the hope of earning them even if he worked for hundreds of years.

'Master, you are really... to entrust me with this important task.'

Wei Zhong did not intend to change his mind:

"That's it. It's just dealing with Jindan cultivators, which is a normal elixir transaction.

In addition, I plan to hand over the elixir transaction of Qingbo Island to you in the future. Don't worry about your insufficient cultivation. I will find a helper for you."

Hu Jinchuan was surprised when he heard this. He never expected that Wei Zhong would entrust him with such an important task.

Wei Zhong was thinking in his heart:

'Now although Xie Linghua has improved her spiritual root qualifications to the middle grade, it is still difficult to form a elixir.

Only after the spiritual roots are upgraded to the upper grade will there be a greater possibility, and it will probably take a lot of time.

In this way, the affairs on the Spirit Island cannot be handled by him, and must be handed over to others. ’

Wei Zhong then had the idea of ​​handing over the spiritual pill affairs to Hu Jinchuan.

After Hu Jinchuan was taught the alchemy method by himself, he is now a formal first-level alchemist and has a certain reputation in the market.

As an alchemist, he is naturally suitable to be responsible for the spiritual pill.

The problem is that the cultivation is a little low, and the human heart is unpredictable. Wei Zhong is worried that the other party will be tempted by huge benefits and betray.

The matter of handing over the spiritual pill this time is a preliminary test.

"Master, such an important task may be difficult for Jinchuan to handle!"

Wei Zhong did not take back his order and threw out a bottle of upper-grade nourishing qi pill. The other party was warmed by the reward of this spiritual pill.

'Now I am just refining lower-grade nourishing qi pills, and occasionally refine one or two middle-grade ones, but I have never produced upper-grade nourishing qi pills. The master gave him a high-grade elixir as soon as he made a move. ’

Wei Zhong saw that he looked not surprised, and said:

“Do it well, if you do well, you will not lack elixir. In addition, I have made arrangements to ensure your safety.”

Seeing that Wei Zhong had entrusted him several times, Hu Jinchuan could not refuse and could only accept it.

Wei Zhong waved his hand, and the latter left.

Outside Yunqing Courtyard, Hu Jinchuan held the storage bag in his hand, his heart pounding.

Just now, he was extremely happy to receive the elixir reward from Wei Zhong, but afterwards he was filled with endless fear.

‘With my Qi training, how can I bear such a great responsibility? ’

Hu Jinchuan thought for a long time, and finally turned into a bitter smile.

He carefully hid the storage bag inside his robe, and looked around like a thief, fearing that someone would see this scene. Then he rushed to his residence.

When he met an acquaintance on the road and chatted with him, Hu Jinchuan couldn't speak smoothly. He just said a few words and left.

This made others wonder:

"What did this little alchemist Hu do wrong?"

On the way home, Hu Jinchuan was very nervous. Everyone he saw seemed to want to snatch his storage bag.

At this time, a bird suddenly sounded in the air, which scared him so much that he almost jumped up.

After identifying it, he found that it was the contracted spirit beast of his master.

Jiucai slowly landed on his shoulder, tilted his head and glanced at Hu Jinchuan, then closed his eyes and began to rest.

Looking at the bird that landed on his shoulder, which was as tall as his head, and feeling the pressure from the other party, Hu Jinchuan's nervousness retreated and his heart was slightly relieved.

"This is the helper that the master found for me," Hu Jinchuan murmured as he looked at the handsome Jiucai, "The master is really thoughtful."

······

In the cave, Wei Zhong sent Jiucai away, and now only the ghost bee group and Jinmei were with him.

"Jiucai has already absorbed a lot of wind demon pills, and the accumulation is enough. The rest is just a matter of waiting for the opportunity to advance.

Instead of letting him stay in this cave and be lazy, it is better to find him something to do. It is not bad to help Hu Jinchuan sell pills."

Now Jiucai is at the peak of the second level, and there are few rivals below the Jindan stage. He has a trump card refined by Wei Zhong on him, so he has room to maneuver even if he encounters a Jindan robbery.

Just delay for a while, and Wei Zhong can find the location and rush there quickly by recording the true seal in his body.

······

Soon half a month passed, and Yao Zhengsheng and Yi Liu arrived at Qingbo Island.

Seeing the magnificent formation on the spirit island, the two sighed. Such a formation has surpassed the Qingmu Sect's protective formation after losing the dragon bone suppression.

The wealth of this Master Wei is simply unimaginable.

When the two arrived, the spirit island formation sank, revealing a pavilion on the outside, where Hu Jinchuan was waiting.

Just as the two were puzzled, Wei Zhong's voice came to their ears:

"Please forgive me, my two Taoist friends. I am in the process of cultivation and cannot get away. I sent my men to deliver the pills. Please do not blame me.

I have already taken a commission from the finished elixir according to the agreement. You two can check it after you get the pills..."

Hearing the voice in their ears, the two did not feel unhappy because of Wei Zhong's behavior. They bowed slightly to the formation and landed in the pavilion below.

Hu Jinchuan saw two strange elixir falling in front of him, and he also knew that they were the objects of this transaction. He was panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down when he saw the spirit bird on his shoulder.

At the same time, the two also saw the nine-color as big as an ordinary person's head, and seemed to recognize that it was the second-level spirit bird that Wei Zhong rode when he went to the banquet that day. He thought to himself that Master Wei was really cautious.

Hu Jinchuan took out the storage bag from his arms and handed it to the two of them. After Yao Zhengsheng and Yi Liu took turns to check it with their spiritual sense, they were all a little surprised, and then they became calm.

"Please convey our gratitude to Master Wei on our behalf!"

"Sure!"

There was no excessive chat during the transaction. The two of them took the elixir and flew away.

After leaving Qingbo Island, Yi Liu couldn't help but say:

"Brother, Master Wei's alchemy is really extraordinary. He can even produce top-grade third-level elixir."

Yi Liu said this, and of course he saw the top-grade Haoyuan Dan and top-grade Jinchan Dan in the storage bag.

Yao Zhengsheng nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Master Wei is not only a master of alchemy, but also a good business. The elixir in the bag has exceeded the share that other alchemists can give."

"Yes, he is much more generous than that Tiezhen Dan Master!"
