Hu Peng immediately showed an expression of "I understand".
"Is that so? It just so happens that I have an alchemist in my shop. Since you are willing to join our Yuxuan shop, could you also give our alchemist some pointers?"
Here it comes, the test is coming.
Lu Minxing knew it very clearly in his mind. Don't be fooled by other people's nice and polite words. What kind of guidance is this? Isn't it just to verify whether he has real talent and knowledge?
Lu Minxing wasn't angry about this. This was inevitable. If they didn't test your abilities, how could they just hire you?
If you don't test him, you will worry about whether there is something fishy going on in this store.
Lu Minxing even began to suspect whether this guy was a time traveler.
If this happened in another store, they would definitely test you first, and the words they said would be very impolite, and then they would tell you whether they want to hire you.
But this shop is different, this person really knows how to speak.
"It's not really guidance." Lu Minxing said quickly, "It's just that we can exchange and learn together."
Upon hearing this, Hu Peng enthusiastically invited Lu Minxing to the alchemy room. As for Nan Jinping, she was first properly placed in another room.
Besides Hu Peng and Lu Minxing, there was only one person here, who was probably the alchemist of this shop. It was true that this was just a shop, and having a dedicated alchemist was already very good.
The person who was newly called over looked unhappy.
I understand. If there's one more person to share the money, that's definitely not going to make people happy!
The alchemist looked quite old, with a thick beard. When he saw Lu Minxing, the words "Can you really make an elixir?" were written all over his face.
There are many medicinal herbs displayed in the alchemy room, each of which is packed in a jade box with a label on the outside.
The bearded alchemist glanced at the herbs in the room and asked Lu Minxing, "Huiling Pill, the most basic and commonly used elixir in the world of cultivation, do you know how to refine it?"
If you say you can't do it, then you are not worthy of being an alchemist.
Lu Minxing did not answer directly, but first looked carefully at the medicinal herbs in the room.
The bearded man snorted in his heart, quite cautious!
Lu Minxing finished reading it, nodded and said, "You can practice it."
Lu Minxing cast a fire spell to heat the furnace first.
He asked the bearded man, "Is there any rootless water?"
The bearded man glanced at him and said, "The furnace has been cleaned, you can use it directly!"
Lu Minxing didn't say anything, but used his spiritual power to condense into water and flushed the alchemy furnace.
The temperature was almost right, Lu Minxing waved his hand, and a jade box opened, and the first medicinal ingredient fell into his hands.
Lu Minxing took a look and carefully plucked off a few roots before putting it into the alchemy furnace.
The time was almost up, and Lu Minxing added the second medicinal ingredient.
However, when Lu Minxing reached out to take the third medicinal herb, the bearded man was stunned at first. He was about to shout something, but then he closed his mouth and sneered in his heart.
The first two steps were pretty good, but the third step is really a letdown!
This medicine was given too early!
If this step is the only mistake, the quality of the refined pill will be lower. But if there are more mistakes later, the entire batch of pills will be wasted.
The most regrettable thing is those medicinal herbs!
However, all these losses must be compensated by this person!
As he was thinking this, he suddenly discovered that Lu Xing had taken another medicinal ingredient that should not be used in the Huiling Pill.
This time the bearded man felt even more proud.
How can you be an alchemist if you can't even remember the recipe?
I wanted to remind Elder Hu to stop immediately to avoid wasting the medicinal materials. But then I thought it would be more convincing if Elder Hu saw the elixir he had wasted with his own eyes, so I held back.
But then, a mysterious operation came that made the bearded man even more puzzled.
Lu Xing was seen using his spiritual power to push the alchemy furnace, causing it to tilt and shake in place!
Everyone knows that the most important thing in alchemy is stability. If this stability is disrupted, the elixir may be wasted or even the furnace may explode.
This guy is so good, is he afraid that his pill will be useless?
The bearded man couldn't help but glance at Hu Peng. At this point, even if he didn't want to, Elder Hu would definitely stop him, right? After all, Elder Hu was an elder of the Yuxuan Sect, and it wasn't like he couldn't make pills!
But Elder Hu Peng also opened his mouth halfway, looking at Lu Xing who was refining the elixir in surprise, but he did not say anything to stop him.
Seeing this, the bearded man had no choice but to give up.
Lu Minxing added a few more herbs into it one after another, but the pill was not yet formed and gradually died out.
The bearded man sneered in his heart, is this because his spiritual power is running out?
The most important thing in alchemy is the temperature. If you turn off the fire before the elixir is formed, the whole batch of elixir will be completely wasted.
This is good, it will show Elder Hu that not just any alchemist from the street can be trusted! This shop still depends on him! He will definitely help Elder Hu run the shop to the top!
After the fire was extinguished for a while, Lu Minxing used his spiritual power to open the alchemy furnace.
The bearded man sneered. "Is there any need to open the furnace lid? It's definitely a furnace of useless pills!"
Another burst of spiritual power was released, and something flew out of the furnace and fell steadily into Lu Minxing's hands.
Lu Minxing spread out his palm and stretched it in front of Hu Peng.
There are five soul-restoring pills in the palm of his hand!
The bearded man snatched it away and examined it with Elder Hu Peng.
The two of them looked at it, smelled it, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the Huiling Pill!
The bearded man's eyes suddenly widened.
How is this possible!
This batch of pills should obviously be wasted, how could there be only five of them?
"Cheating! You cheated!" the bearded man roared.
"With just these herbs, even the most skilled alchemist can only make three pills at most! It's simply impossible to make five pills!
"Moreover, you added the third ingredient at the wrong time, and you added an extra ingredient in the middle. In the end, you removed the fire before the pill was even formed. You definitely can't make this pill!
"So this pill definitely wasn't made by you! Did you try to replace it with something else when you took it in your hand just now? You must have hidden the elixir on your body and took it out now!"
As he said this, he was about to search Lu Minxing's body.
"Wei Tao, don't be rude!" Elder Hu Peng hurriedly stopped him.
He could see that Lu Minxing hadn't stolen the pills. Wei Tao could see it too, but he was so jealous and angry that he didn't want to admit it.
Such a great alchemist must not be offended!
Hu Peng put away the five pills and quickly invited Lu Minxing into the hall, treating him as a guest of honor.
"Mr. Lu, you just listened to my self-introduction. I am also an alchemist, but I really don't understand the alchemy techniques you just used. Can I ask for your advice?" Hu Peng asked.
