Chapter 24 Rules

Inside the house, a stick of sandalwood was lit, and the fragrance was lingering around, making people feel refreshed.

When Zhang Hai brought Xu Yi outside the house and learned that Yu Dun arranged to meet here, he was more and more surprised. This was already equivalent to the attitude of formally receiving guests. Not to mention an outer disciple who had just entered the mountain, even if the big guys who had been promoted to the primary alchemist in the alchemy room came, this etiquette was more than enough.

For a moment, Zhang Hai was very grateful. Fortunately, after being scolded, he did not vent his anger on Xu Yi, otherwise he would have cried to death now.

After a while, Yu Dun walked out of the room, looked at Xu Yi and laughed, saying: "What a Xu Yi, he is really a handsome man."

Xu Yi stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Meet Deacon Yu."

Yu Dun waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, Junior Brother Xu, please sit down."

Zhang Hai's eyes were about to pop out. Yu Dun actually called him Junior Brother?

At present, Xu Yi is still an outer disciple with no status, while Yu Dun is a big man who came out of the inner gate and served as the deacon of the warehouse.

If Xu Yi can enter the inner gate after practicing successfully, it doesn't matter if Yu Dun calls him Junior Brother. But now... the information revealed by this title is a little too much.

Xu Yi also frowned slightly and said, "I dare not call you that as a deacon."

Yu Dun laughed loudly and said, "With your talent, it is a sure thing for you to enter the alchemy room and become an alchemist in the future. Since you are Junior Brother whether you call me Junior Brother sooner or later, why not call me Junior Brother from now on."

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Has the deacon seen me before?"

"No, but I heard a good friend talk about you and praised you for your great talent."

"Oh, but Brother Lu Fang?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Lu."

In fact, although Lu Fang mentioned Xu Yi, he didn't praise him too much. However, Yu Dun is a very versatile person and knows Lu Fang very well. After learning that Lv Fang actually gave Xu Yi the recipe for the realm-breaking pill, he had already guessed a lot.

Now making friends with Xu Yi in advance can be regarded as an advance investment for him.

Xu Yi smiled and said, "It turns out that the deacon is a good friend of Brother Lu. I am sorry."

Yu Dun laughed and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I have seen your list. Do you want to refine other pills?"

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "That's right."

Yu Dun suddenly coughed heavily, and then stared at Zhang Hai on the side.

Zhang Hai was listening to their conversation with his ears erect. He was suddenly startled and hurriedly said, "You two can talk slowly. I have official business to attend to. Goodbye." After that, he left the hall, but did not go far away. Instead, he waited quietly outside.

Yu Dun put away his smile and said seriously: "Junior Brother Xu, are you planning to refine the realm-breaking pill?"

Xu Yi was surprised and said: "Senior Brother Yu even knows this."

"Haha, I heard Junior Brother Lu mention it once." Yu Dun coughed lightly, "Junior Brother, you may not know that the sect has a rule. If you use controlled drugs in the sect to refine pills, you must sell half of the refined pills to the sect."

"There is such a rule? What if the refining fails?"

"Since it fails, it is naturally a loss, and the sect will not force you." Yu Dun smiled lightly.

Xu Yi frowned, and he felt vaguely that this rule would definitely not be so simple.

"Junior brother, the sect has its own medicine garden, which can produce many rare medicinal materials. They are essential for many high-level elixirs. Haha, these medicines are extremely difficult to obtain outside, so most alchemists are willing to buy them within the sect."

Xu Yi said in a deep voice: "What if someone succeeds in refining elixirs but says that they failed?"

"It doesn't matter." Yu Dun smiled and said: "The sect has records. Every time an alchemist submits a successful elixir, he will get corresponding points. Only with the points can he be eligible to purchase controlled drugs. If the points are insufficient, haha, even a high-level alchemist will find it difficult to get the desired medicinal materials."

Xu Yi suddenly realized that there were similar constraints, so it was no wonder.

"Junior Brother Lu once mobilized a batch of realm-breaking pills, but unfortunately, the furnace failed to refine the pills, and a year's hard work went to waste." Yu Dun sighed and said, "I asked Junior Brother Lu, and he said that he didn't have enough accumulation now, and he didn't dare to try the second furnace. Alas, this realm-breaking pill is difficult to refine."

Xu Yi was silent for a moment, and smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, but I believe that hard work pays off. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can eventually refine the pills that are difficult to refine."

Yu Dun nodded and said: "Junior Brother is right, haha, you can face the difficulties, Yu is very pleased."

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for the compliment, but this medicinal material is so precious, I don't know when I will wait to collect it all." He originally thought that whether he asked Lu Fang or asked his father to find a way, he could solve it in the end, and it would take some time at most. But now he understands that he still thinks too simply.

Yu Dun was in deep thought, and after a moment he suddenly said, "Junior Brother Xu, if you really want to try it, I'll sell you one."

"Really?" Xu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, this was like a ray of hope.

"Haha, we warehouse stewards still have a little power in our hands." Yu Dun laughed, "It's impossible to sell more, but if I only sell you one, I can make the decision."

Xu Yi took a half step back, bowed deeply to him, and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother."

This was the first time he changed his words to call him Senior Brother. Obviously, after accepting this favor, Xu Yi had a great change in his opinion of him.

Yu Dun shook his hand and said, "Brother, you are welcome. If you succeed in your studies and refine a top-grade realm-breaking pill in the future, please sell me one."

Xu Yi said solemnly, "I'll take note of it. Please rest assured, brother."

Hearing this request, Xu Yi felt relieved. It's okay to ask for favors, but it's a pity if you can't repay them. Since Yu Dun has something to ask for, then double the return in the future.

Others may not be able to refine a top-grade realm-breaking pill, but as long as you give him the pill formula and a set of medicinal materials, hehe... everything is self-explanatory.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Hai brought the medicinal materials. He personally carried the large and small bags, insisted on climbing over a peak, and delivered the medicinal materials to Xu Yi's small courtyard.

In the middle of this, Shangwu and the other three wanted to take over, but Zhang Hai refused.

The person who was formally received by the deacon and sold the controlled medicinal materials as an exception was definitely worthy of Zhang Hai's flattery.

As for Shangwu and others, they actually wanted to snatch his opportunity, which was simply unforgivable.

Xu Yi couldn't refuse, so he had to let it go, but he didn't expect that it was because of Zhang Hai's behavior that Xu's identity as a hidden boss was finally confirmed.

The third update is here, and I continue to ask for recommendations.
