Chapter 161 Li Yan's Position in the Dan League (1/2)

The next day, Li Yan, led by his maid Xiaolan, came to the door of a room in the backyard of Danmeng.

"Alchemist Xiao, the Wasted Alchemy Room is here. All you need to do in the morning is to hand over the work to Alchemist Chen inside and familiarize yourself with the process."

"Then in the afternoon, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the mission acceptance process of the Dan League."

Xiaolan softly told Li Yan's schedule for today.

This woman is the maid who received Li Yan yesterday.

It was precisely because she had been in contact with Li Yan before that Xiao Zhenyun directly designated her to take Li Yan through the process.

Li Yan nodded after hearing this and said nothing more.

[Abandoned Pill Room] was requested by Li Yan. Xiao Zhenyun gave him three choices at that time, and he chose to come here.

Seeing this, Xiaolan stepped forward and knocked on the door of the [Waste Pill Room].

"Alchemist Chen, Alchemist Xiao is here."

Hearing this, there was a rush of footsteps inside, and then the door opened, and a young figure appeared.

"Master Xiao is here, where is he?"

I saw this person wearing a blue alchemist robe and wearing a badge with an alchemy furnace engraved on his chest. This is the alchemist badge of a first-class alchemist.

The higher the level of the alchemist, the more alchemy furnaces are engraved on the alchemist badge.

"Master Xiao, come on, come on, sit inside."

This person's eyes naturally passed over Xiaolan in front of him and fell on Li Yan, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

He called Li Yan into the [Waste Pill Room], and Xiaolan closed the door for the two of them very wisely, and then stood pretty outside the door.

Inside, Alchemist Chen had already begun to introduce himself.

"Alchemist Xiao, my name is Chen Mingzhi, from the Chen family in the west of the city. I would like to ask, are you a descendant of the Xiao family, the king of alchemy?"

"Why do you say that? Just because my surname is Xiao," Li Yan asked.

"That's not the case. It's because I've seen all the younger generations of the Xiao family take the path of alchemists, but you are a bit embarrassed."

There are three Chen families in Xuanfeng King City. The Chen family in the west of the city is a second-rate force and is an alchemy family like the Xiao family.

Therefore, the connection between the two families is likely to be relatively close, and the younger generation probably often played together when they were young.

The other two Chen families, the Chen family in the south of the city, were third-rate forces and established a gang in the outer city.

The Chen family in the east of the city was also a second-rate force, but the Chen family's power developed into the Zhou army and was one of the vassals of the Ji family.

Hearing this, Li Yan smiled and shook his head: "That's right. I'm not from Wangcheng, let alone a member of the Dan Wang Xiao family."

"It's just the same last name."

After hearing this, the enthusiasm in Chen Mingzhi's eyes weakened slightly, but the smile on his face did not weaken at all.

"I see, it was me who was talking to you just now. Come on, let me introduce you to the work regulations of the [Waste Alchemy Room]."

After saying that, Chen Mingzhi took Li Yan to get familiar with the [Waste Alchemy Room].

The entire [Waste Pill Room] is about 300 square meters, and is divided into three areas, the Waste Pill Area, the Incineration Area, and the Personal Area.

The waste elixir area is naturally the place where the refining elixirs are stored.

Waste elixirs are those elixirs that have not been successfully refined. They are mixed with a large number of impurities. If a person swallows them, they will cause all harm but no benefit. They can be said to be veritable poisonous elixirs.

An alchemist can refine the number of waste elixirs in his lifetime far more than the number of normal elixirs.

Therefore, in every place where many alchemists gather, there will be a [waste pill room] set up to deal with the waste pills produced by the alchemists.

Under the leadership of Chen Mingzhi, Li Yan saw the waste pill area and the baskets of waste pills. A glint appeared in his eyes, and his eyes became greedy.

But Chen Mingzhi was in front and didn't see the change in Li Yan's eyes.

"Alchemist Xiao, at four o'clock every day, someone will bring us the spent elixirs refined by the alchemy masters in the alchemy alliance. You only need to pour the spent elixirs into these baskets."

Chen Mingzhi pointed to the bamboo baskets and said to Li Yan.

After looking at the waste pill area, there is the incineration area behind it.

The incineration area is a big furnace. The furnace is not working at this time, so the furnace lid is open.

Li Yan looked over and saw some black dregs under the stove.

Chen Mingzhi saw the curious look on Li Yan's face, and couldn't help but remember that he was just as curious when he first came here, so he introduced: "This is a spiritual weapon-level incinerator, specially customized by Danmeng. Come and burn these waste elixirs completely."

Li Yan looked at the dark stove again in surprise, and couldn't help but said: "This is actually a spiritual weapon."

"Of course, you also know that our alchemy masters require high temperatures to refine elixirs, so whether they are waste elixirs or good elixirs, ordinary high temperatures have no effect on them."

"Therefore, a higher temperature is needed to refine these waste elixirs into residues. This is one of the reasons why this [waste elixir room] needs to be managed by us alchemists."

"Only we, alchemists in the innate realm, can play the role of spiritual weapons and use the alchemy master's alchemy techniques to refine these waste elixirs."

Chen Mingzhi explained carefully.

Then, he reminded: "After the waste elixir is refined, it will emit some strange smells. At this time, you have to hold your breath, use true energy instead of breathing, and try not to inhale those smells into your body."

"Those are harmful poisonous gases. If you inhale too much, erysipelas will form in the body, and it will be very troublesome to get rid of them."

"Of course, even if you don't breathe, some of the erysipelas will penetrate the skin and enter your body."

"So, every time I open the furnace to melt the elixir, I have to check my body carefully. I am afraid that the erysipelas will enter the body and be too late to get rid of it."

At this point, he might be afraid that Li Yan would back down, so he continued: "However, you don't have to worry too much. The Dan Alliance has specially developed a kind of elixir for this, which can quickly eliminate these erysipelas."

"Besides, you don't need to open the furnace to dissolve the elixir every day, just once every ten days is enough."

"In addition, Danmeng will subsidize a generous monthly allowance, and you only need to work half a day in the morning, so this job is actually not bad."

Chen Mingzhi said this, but in his heart he blamed himself for talking too much just now: "I am also too talkative. I talk about everything. If this scares Alchemist Xiao away, I don't know when the Alchemy Alliance will send another one." Someone to take my place."

He had wanted to leave here for a long time, just because his job was not on the stage, and he couldn't do anything when gathering with the younger generations of other families.

But Dan League was not run by his family. Unless someone new comes to replace him, he will have to work for three years before leaving. Now it has only been less than a year.

Fortunately, Li Yan's words made him feel relieved: "Don't worry, since I took over this job, I won't quit midway."

These words naturally made Chen Mingzhi smile. He stepped forward to put his arms around Li Yan's neck, but found that he was not tall enough, so he had to change his arms to pat Li Yan's shoulders with some embarrassment.

"Brother, you are good. In this way, I will treat you to dinner tonight and go to Bai Feng Restaurant."

[Baifeng Restaurant] is one of the top ten restaurants in Xuanfeng King City. The food in the restaurant is very unique. Both the drinks and meals are filled with special elixirs, which not only makes the food more delicious, but also improves your cultivation. It is subject to Loved by many people, especially the group of alchemists who deal with elixirs.

Li Yan did not refuse, after all, multiple friends lead to multiple paths.

What's more, he just arrived, and having an old man to guide him would also help him understand the situation in the Dan Alliance, so he said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. It's a waste of trouble for Brother Chen."

After such an interaction, the two became more familiar with each other, and then came to the personal area.

The personal area is naturally for those who guard the [Waste Pill Room] to move around. It is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches, and even a bed, a bookcase, and a desk.

In order to entertain Li Yan, Chen Mingzhi took out his own collection of spiritual tea.

It is not the kind of spiritual tea brewed from tea leaves with spiritual energy, but after brewing the tea, a spiritual elixir is added.

The elixir melts immediately when it enters the water, and then forms a light golden film on the surface of the tea. After a breath or so, the light film disappears and the tea turns into a light golden color.

"This is?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"Brother Xiao, haven't you seen it? This is the [Ling Tea Pill] from [Bai Feng Restaurant]. I managed to get a few of them through some connections. I wanted to study it, but in the end I couldn't find anything."

"It's just right. I'll use it to entertain Brother Xiao today. After all, I don't have any other good things here."

Chen Mingzhi explained.

Li Yan took a sip of the spiritual tea, and suddenly a burst of spiritual energy entered his body, which was stored in the mysterious space, waiting for the main body to collect it.

"It tastes good, has enough spiritual energy, and is a good tea."

The spiritual energy of a small sip of spiritual tea is already equivalent to the amount of spiritual energy contained in a [Qi-enhancing Pill]. However, this spiritual energy contains the five elements. For ordinary people, only a part of it can be used, but Li Yan can use almost all of it. absorb.

Therefore, Li Yan praised this without hesitation.

Afterwards, the two of them talked, mostly with Chen Mingzhi talking and Li Yan listening, and most of them talking about some rules.

One of the regulations made Li Yan a little confused.

[You cannot carry waste elixirs out with you and sell them for profit]

Waste pills can also be sold for money. This was something Li Yan didn't expect, so he couldn't help but ask.

Chen Mingzhi explained it, which opened Li Yan's eyes.

It turns out that for some useless elixirs, there is not much difference between the appearance of the useless elixirs and the successful ones. Although the difference is particularly obvious in the eyes of alchemists, in the eyes of outsiders, it is difficult to distinguish.

For the sake of their own reputation, alchemists will naturally not pass off inferior elixirs as good ones and sell useless elixirs as good elixirs.

But there are still some people who will use this kind of elixir to sell it to those warriors who are greedy for petty gains at a price that is several times lower than the market price.

In the end, hundreds of warriors went crazy and died while practicing.

Naturally, the imperial court would not stand idly by if something like this happened in the royal city. This investigation revealed the black industrial chain behind it.

The source of this industry chain is the Alchemy Alliance and the [Abandoned Alchemy Room] of various alchemy families.

Since then, there has been such a rule.

This also made Li Yan sigh. Sure enough, behind every outrageous rule, there was an even more outrageous practitioner!

A knock on the door sounded, and Chen Mingzhi took Li Yan to open the door.

Behind the door are seven or eight Dan Alliance servants holding wooden boxes.

Xiaolan was still guarding the door, but at a further distance.

Chen Mingzhi took a step forward, then gave up his position, revealing Li Yan behind him, and introduced to the servants in front of him: "This Master Xiao will take over from me from today on. From now on, Master Xiao and You guys connected, do you understand?"

"I understand." All the servants said in unison.

Then they all looked at Li Yan and said, "I have met Master Xiao."

Li Yan nodded and said nothing.

After briefly introducing Li Yan to the servants, Chen Mingzhi began to demonstrate the process of checking and accepting waste pills to Li Yan.

Chen Mingzhi dragged an empty bamboo basket directly from the waste pill area, then grabbed a handful of waste pills from the servants' wooden boxes, glanced at them, counted the number, and threw them into the bamboo basket.

With the spiritual power of an innate warrior, it was easy to do this.

After counting all the waste pills in the wooden box, Chen Mingzhi began to check the white papers at the bottom of the wooden box.

On those white papers were written the name of the alchemist and the number of waste pills provided by the alchemist.

"The number is correct, next one."

After the number matched, Chen Mingzhi began to check the next one.

Because of the high efficiency, Chen Mingzhi only took more than a quarter of an hour to complete the entire inspection of eight servants and thousands of waste pills.

There was no problem.

Chen Mingzhi waved his hand, and the servants bowed and left.

After they left, Li Yan couldn't help but ask, "Why is the inspection so strict?"

"Remember what you asked me about that rule?" Chen Mingzhi replied.

After hearing this, Li Yan instantly understood: "Could there be something else happening later?"

"Of course, after that incident was exposed, both the Dan League and the various alchemy families punished the relevant personnel and calmed the public anger."

"After that, although the incident of using waste pills to impersonate real pills has been quiet for a while, it still happens from time to time and cannot be stopped despite repeated bans."

"Among them, the court found a source, which is these servants who have access to waste pills."

Chen Mingzhi explained.

Afterwards, the two continued to hand over their work and chat about current affairs.

Chen Mingzhi was still optimistic about the strength of the Great Zhou, and even revealed his idea of ​​becoming a military alchemist in his words.

A military alchemist is an alchemist who follows the army.

War is changing rapidly, and the reserves of pills carried by the army may be quickly consumed after a battle.

At this time, the military alchemist is needed.

When the two people's work was successfully handed over, it was noon.

So, the two said goodbye.

Chen Zhiming happily packed up his personal belongings in the [Abandoned Alchemy Room] and left here briskly.

Before leaving, he did not forget his previous promise and asked Li Yan to wait for him at the gate of the Alchemy League in the evening. He would treat him to [Baifeng Restaurant].

"Master Xiao, are we going to the Alchemy League cafeteria for dinner?"

Xiaolan asked sweetly.

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Go ahead. After dinner, take me to see the mission hall."

"Okay, Master Xiao."

Then, Li Yan followed Xiaolan to the cafeteria room of the Alchemy League.

The cafeteria hall is where the maids and servants in the Alchemy League eat. The status of the alchemist is noble, so how could he eat with these people?

Therefore, the cafeteria specially separated small private rooms for the alchemists to eat.

Even the food was obviously richer and more beautiful than that in the dining hall.

After all, the official alchemists of the Alchemy League had a cultivation level of at least the Yun Zang realm, and ordinary food could not fill their stomachs.

Li Yan distributed some food to Xiaolan, but he did not expect Xiaolan to be full after just two bites.

This was mainly because the energy contained in these foods was too high. Although Xiaolan also had the cultivation level of the Lian Rou realm, she could not eat much.

After eating, Xiaolan began to serve Li Yan. Some strange creatures were cooked with shells.

When he ate alone, it didn't matter if Li Yan swallowed the shells and meat together, but since there was someone serving him, he would definitely have to peel the shells before eating.

This meal took a long time. When the two came to the mission hall, it was already around 15:00 in the afternoon.

There was a big clock in the mission hall. Li Yan took a look and knew the time.

The clock looked similar to the modern ones, but this clock turned one circle, representing a day, because the twelve large week numbers on it represented twelve hours.

There are seven equal lines between every two hours, dividing an hour into eight sections, and each section is naturally a quarter of an hour.

Later, Li Yan learned that this thing was shipped from a more distant country, and it was very valuable. Only a wealthy organization like the Dan League could afford it.

In the mission hall, people came and went, one-third of whom were alchemists, wearing alchemist robes and alchemist badges on their chests.

Li Yan was dressed the same way at this time.

The rest of the people were either led by maids to post the task of seeking alchemy, or came to receive the results of the task and pay the remaining balance.

It is necessary to pay a deposit to post a task in the Dan League. If no one has received the task within a month, 80% of the deposit will be returned.

The other 20% of the deposit is naturally the handling fee.

Xiaolan took Li Yan to a wall at this time. There were many white boards hanging on the wall, and various words were written on the front of the boards.

"Master Xiao, this is where the alchemists receive tasks. This wall is called the task wall in the Alchemy League. It not only has tasks from our Wangcheng Alchemy League branch, but also tasks from other branches and sub-branches."

"And those white boards are task cards, and the black boards are task cards from other branches and sub-branches."

After Xiaolan's reminder, Li Yan saw a small number of inconspicuous black task cards in the corner.

It seems that these tasks from other branches and sub-branches are not welcome.

Then, Xiaolan continued: "If you like that task, you can command the servant next to you to help you take down the task card."

At this time, an alchemist happened to come to accept the task and vividly demonstrated to Li Yan the operation of accepting the task.

"Continue", Li Yan said to Xiaolan after watching the process of the buddy accepting the task.

"Okay, after accepting the task card, we need to go to the task counter to report the task we have accepted. Sometimes, we also need to collect the materials provided by the task publisher."

"However, this situation is relatively rare. It usually occurs when refining elixirs of higher grades. Only alchemists above the third grade will accept such tasks."

"Of course, the reward is also quite high."

Xiaolan took Li Yan to the task counter and explained to Li Yan.

Coincidentally, the person who accepted the task just now also reported the task at the task counter on Li Yan's side.

There are a total of five task counters. The other four have people, but there is no one here. It is normal for him to come here.

Then Li Yan saw the beautiful maid at the task counter, carefully took out a wooden box, opened the wooden box, and seven or eight jade boxes appeared.

After opening the jade box, the maid respectfully presented it to the alchemist in front of her. After the alchemist checked all the medicinal materials in the jade box and nodded to confirm that there was no problem, she packed up everything and handed it to the alchemist respectfully.

When the alchemist turned around, Li Yan saw the third-grade alchemist badge on his chest.

He noticed Li Yan's gaze and nodded, which was considered a greeting.

When Li Yan wanted to return the gift, the other party had already walked away.

After that, Li Yan took Xiaolan to stay in the task square for more than an hour, and after figuring out all the things he didn't understand, he took a task and left.

This task is a sub-task in a large task. The task content is very simple, to refine 100 [Earth Element·Qi Replenishing Pills].

This is a first-grade medium-level pill, used to quickly replenish the true qi for earth-element innate warriors in the early stage.

It can also be used for warriors in the middle stage of innate and above, but the effect will be weaker.

After returning to his own room, Li Yan smiled at Xiaolan who was still following him and said, "Why, do you want to follow me?"

Xiaolan blushed, but finally nodded shyly, and said firmly, "Yes."

"That's fine. I saw your performance today. You are a capable person. I will apply to the Dan League to transfer you to my side later."

This clone of his was going to stay in the Dan League permanently, and some errands would naturally have to be done by someone. The maid in front of him just met his requirements.

After hearing Li Yan's affirmative answer, Xiaolan's originally nervous mood immediately settled down, and an excited and happy look appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Master Xiao Dan, for accepting me. I will do my best to serve you."

For the maids in the Dan League, being able to serve an alchemist and become his subordinate is much better than serving the alchemists and guests in the lobby of the Dan League.

Not only do they get a lot, but the alchemists are basically local tyrants. If they leak a little, it will be enough for them to eat.

At the most important time, she had a backer behind her, and ordinary people did not dare to bully her.

After all, these maids were all beautiful, which was both a good thing and a bad thing for them.

"Okay, go and get the herbs needed for the task for me first."

Li Yan issued the first task.
