After spending some time with Si Qi, everyone in Lingxiao Sect had almost figured out Si Qi's temper.
This cultivator, who looked like a teenager but had a high rank, gave people the first impression of being unruly and aggressive. He refused to give in even to the powerful elders. As soon as he appeared, many cultivators from all over the peak came to him to apologize and pay him back. It seemed that he was difficult to get along with. Later,
Si Qi often went to Danfeng to learn how to make pills. He had more contact with the disciples of Danfeng and the elders who were eager to come over to take a look. Everyone realized that this young man who had to be carefully praised and well-spoken was not as bad-tempered as everyone imagined.
There were even disciples who tried to talk to Si Qi, asking him why he had to divide the materials into so many parts, and what the reason was. Si Qi would patiently explain the reason and analyze the situation.
Such a amiable expression undoubtedly flattered everyone present. After talking to Si Qi several times with fear, they slowly realized that he was not fierce and cold.
At this time, everyone thought back and carefully thought about why Si Qi gave people the impression that he was difficult to get along with. It suddenly occurred to them that it was not that he was difficult to get along with, but that they had done too much and annoyed others, which was why they had caused so much unhappiness.
Then, their attitude towards Si Qi became more sincere and respectful - in the world of cultivation, it is extremely rare to find someone so easy to get along with and so capable.
Whether they were alchemists, spellcasters, array masters, or weapon refiners, every master with extraordinary abilities had a strange personality and was extremely difficult to please. If the monks wanted to get something from them, even if they paid a high price to buy it, they would still be treated coldly by others and would only be accepted after they had said all the nice things they could.
Now a great alchemist like Si Qi was willing to appear around them. He did not drive them away or scold them with a cold attitude, but spoke to them calmly and was even willing to give them some pointers. How could this not move the young cultivators who were used to the intrigues and deceptions in the world of cultivation? Whenever they met cultivators from other peaks and were asked about Si Qi, they would show a look of yearning and admiration, and their mouths were full of good things about Si Qi.
"Master Si has a gentle personality and is friendly to others. He is a very good person."
"Master Uncle is very exploratory and knows how to integrate things. In the past, it took us months to master the pill formulas, but Master Uncle only needs to ponder for a moment to get started. It is really amazing."
"Master Uncle has never thought of hiding his knowledge. A while ago, he taught me how to analyze the effects of different parts of a spiritual plant, which allowed me to gain a lot."
Those cultivators who still had the initial impression of Si Qi were very surprised by this and couldn't help saying, "Master Uncle Si's intimidation is so strong that you can say the following words in a row?"
"What is the relationship between you and me? Why do we have to be so secretive and cautious?"
The disciples of Danfeng were left with a dilemma. They reiterated again and again that they were not forced to curry favor with him because of his power. It was indeed that Si Qi was so friendly and they loved him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Then why did Master Si threaten the headmaster and the elders in the first place?" The others subconsciously refuted.
The disciples said without hesitation: "It is because our behavior at that time touched Master Si's bottom line. Master Si is a man of great talent and pride. How could he be insulted by us like that?"
After hearing this explanation, the disciples around them finally understood and thought that this was the case. No wonder.
Besides, Si Qi is a gentle and quiet senior, which is better than being moody and everyone has to avoid and beg him. For a while, in order to prevent the incident that angered Si Qi from happening again, the attitude of the people in the sect towards Si Qi was unusually unified. That is, everyone praised him. No matter whether it was from the bottom of their hearts or for other purposes, no one would deliberately sing the opposite tune.
This reputation reached its peak when Si Qi was willing to publish the formula.
Chu Feng was puzzled as to why Si Qi would do such a thing. After all, such behavior was absolutely unique in the world of cultivation, or it was unimaginable.
Si Qi smiled slightly, thinking that he couldn't explain to Chu Feng at this moment that he had to promote the development of this world and help his lover gain more world power.
On the surface, it seemed that this group of people had gained great benefits. They stayed in front of the alchemy furnace day and night to refine pills and harvested batches of top-quality pills. In fact, in Si Qi's eyes, they looked like hardworking little ants, working hard to move the world's power bit by bit for Chu Feng, and promoting the development of the world like tools.
He explained to Chu Feng: "The amount of pills I can refine alone is not as much as the amount of pills refined by hundreds or thousands of people. I have agreed with the headmaster before that every cultivator in Xixi who uses my pill refining method will give me the pills they refine in proportion as a reward."
With the Heart Demon Oath as a guarantee, Si Qi is not afraid that this group of people will go back on their word and teach their apprentice to starve the master to death.
What's more, the benefits that Si Qi can bring to this group of people are far more than just the recipe for the top-grade Huiling Pill. I believe that no one with a brain will do anything to offend Si Qi, and they will still have a long honeymoon period to spend.
It was the first time for Chu Feng to hear the words "commission" and "copyright" in this world of cultivation. He felt a little strange and was also amazed by the disciple's intelligence.
This was indeed an overly smart boy. Whether it was his ability to innovate the exercises and pill formulas or his wisdom in dealing with people, it was far beyond Chu Feng's imagination. For
a moment, he couldn't help but show great interest in the boy in front of him, and the way he showed his interest was to change his habit of staying at the top of the mountain and practicing in seclusion for decades. He stayed with Si Qi all day, watching him, touching him, and preventing this disciple with too bad luck from encountering death threats when he went out. He was willing to be the disciple's driver and companion.
This also led to many outsiders who knew Chu Xun's reputation to realize more clearly how much Chu Xianzun valued this beloved disciple, and then they dared not neglect Si Qi.
On this day, Si Qi, whose learning speed was improving by leaps and bounds, finally learned all the knowledge in Elder Zhou's mind and integrated it in his own way.
He compiled the priceless pill recipes into a book and put them in his storage ring.
When he went out to the Danfeng's alchemy room, the appearance inside had changed drastically from the past. It was changed from a collection of secret rooms that were afraid of being disturbed by others in the past to a factory-style unified management that Si Qi was more familiar with.
All I saw was a large hall filled with steaming cauldrons, with spiritual stones burning with spiritual fire under the cauldrons. In the distance stood a few workers (crossed out) from the alchemy room, holding jade slips and calculating the time.
Next to the disciples were shelves filled with spiritual plants and jade porcelain bottles.
The top-grade soul-restoring pills that the monks used to salivate over were stored in this place by bottle. Thinking about it carefully, the disciples of Lingxiao Sect were filled with emotion. They felt that such a scene was something they could never have dreamed of before.
At this moment, the disciples were very happy to see Si Qi appear. They were no longer nervous and restrained as they were before when they saw Chu Feng.
It must be said that when the lively and youthful Uncle Si and the cold-faced Chu Xianzun stood together, the picture looked very harmonious. There was no abruptness of two different colors being forced together, but instead they reconciled each other's "shortcomings".
It was like a gentle and alert antelope and a cold and majestic lion accompanying each other. The lion lacked a ferociousness that made people afraid, and the antelope was enough to make people feel his unusualness even if it appeared harmless.
It was also at this time that a communication talisman flew in front of the two of them, and the voice of the head of the sect came from it: "Xianzun, Si Shixiong, can you come to the hall to talk?"
The two looked at each other, and Si Qi used his eyes to indicate that there was no problem. Chu Feng took out his flying sword very consciously and stood in front. The flying sword that could only be used by him was now completely accustomed to the appearance of another user, and soon accompanied him to the hall where the headmaster was.
In addition to the headmaster, there were many familiar faces in the hall, the elders of Zhongfeng.
After seeing Si Qi, these people nodded and greeted him very gently, raised their hands and saluted Chu Feng, and then continued to discuss with their fellow apprentices beside them in a low voice with some annoyance.
As a demon, Si Qi had good hearing. After listening to the content of the discussion of this group of people, he sorted it out a little and understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that Si Qi had recently taught the Danfeng disciples the method of refining pills. The disciples were very shocked when they learned about this method of refining pills with a 100% success rate. Under the earnest urging of the head and the elders, they worked very hard to produce countless top-grade Huiling Pills and other top-grade pills in large quantities, and they were so excited that they didn't want to stop.
When everyone came to their senses, they found that the top-grade pills refined during this period were so luxurious that thousands of disciples in the sect could have more than enough. It would be too wasteful to stop refining, and it would be too luxurious to give it to the disciples unconditionally for free. According to the rules, if the disciples in the sect want to get something, they need to complete enough tasks to redeem it.
So the headmaster and others made a brief calculation and decided to sell these pills. Each pill could be sold for at least thousands of top-grade spirit stones, and the price was only a few spirit plants. The difference in price was enough for the sect to make a lot of money.
At first, Lingxiao Sect took out a bottle of ten top-grade soul-restoring pills, and the cultivators outside didn't think it was anything special. After all, Lingxiao Sect is the largest sect in the world of cultivation, with a large family and a large business, and the Immortal Master Chu Xun sitting in the throne. Taking out a few top-grade soul-restoring pills is nothing at all. One can only sigh that Lingxiao Sect is really generous, and they are willing to auction such treasures.
Later, the Huiling Pills sold by the bottle were all sold at a sky-high price, and each pill was worth a good top-grade magic weapon. Those monks who failed to buy the pills were all very disappointed, thinking that they would have to wait for another year if they missed this opportunity.
Who would have thought that the auction would be held again soon, and there were 20 more Huiling Pills among the products for auction, and they were all from Lingxiao Sect. This time, some monks with sharp minds began to wonder, could it be that Lingxiao Sect had a lot of top-grade Huiling Pills? Otherwise, no matter how generous they were, they would not take out so many at once!
When all the Huiling Pills were sold out, many sects that had a good relationship with Lingxiao Sect came to inquire, wanting to see if Lingxiao Sect really had any top-grade Huiling Pills. If so, they would be willing to buy them! The price was not a problem.
Lingxiao Sect actually responded to this question, and the content of the response surprised those sects.
Because Lingxiao Sect said: Yes, how many do you want?
Such a generous response made the major sects very excited, and they couldn't help but muster up the courage to carefully test: Ten pills, do you have it?
Lingxiao Sect said particularly domineeringly: Of course!
Thus, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of high-quality spirit stones flew to the Lingxiao Sect’s warehouse, and the price was just a few inconspicuous small porcelain bottles on the shelf of the Danfeng Alchemy Room.
The sects that received the treasures and hid them away and dared not let anyone know about it kept this matter secret, thinking that they were the only ones who had encountered such a good thing. For several months in a row, I got close to the Lingxiao Sect and asked every now and then: Do you still have the top-quality Huiling Pill? No, it’s okay, I’ll ask again after a while.
As a result, every time I asked, the Lingxiao Sect said: Yes! There are plenty!
All the sects were shocked by the wealth of Lingxiao Sect. They couldn't help wondering if there was a particularly powerful alchemist in Lingxiao Sect. Otherwise, how could they produce so many top-grade Huiling Pills in one go?
They couldn't help but ask the surrounding sects in a roundabout way whether they had heard of a great alchemist in Lingxiao Sect.
It would have been better if they didn't ask. Once they asked, why did everyone in the world seem to be secretly inquiring about this matter, and their attitudes were particularly sneaky, as if they had done something guilty and didn't dare to let others know!
Then they thought, my good man, am I not doing the same thing? Could it be that those people also bought a lot of top-grade Huiling Pills from Lingxiao Sect like themselves and got a lot of bargains?
Several sect leaders who were on good terms with each other asked each other and got the embarrassing answer of "So you too." Well, the mystery was solved. The Lingxiao Sect really did produce at least nearly a thousand top-grade Huiling Pills in one go—nearly a thousand!
Even if it was a powerful alchemist, it would take at least a hundred years to produce so many top-grade pills in one go. But for a hundred years, how could the Lingxiao Sect be willing to let the alchemist remain silent for so long, unknown to anyone?
There was something fishy about this. What
was even stranger was that after the top-grade Huiling Pill, the Lingxiao Sect produced more pills one after another, and each one was of top-grade quality! This really shocked all the insiders, and made them feel deeply frightened.
So all parties tried their best to find out the identity and name of the alchemy master at all costs. They secretly reached into the Lingxiao Sect, and soon found out Si Qi's name.
It is said that this person was a disciple who just entered the Lingxiao Sect a few months ago. Because of his amazing talent, he became a disciple of Chu Xianzun, the strongest person in the world of cultivation. In one month, he improved the thousand-year-old cultivation method of Lingxiao Sect. When he refined a hundred furnaces of top-grade Huiling Pills in one breath, he gradually mastered hundreds of pill recipes and taught the method of refining top-grade pills to every disciple without reservation...
Any news that spread out was enough to shock the monks, not to mention that so many shocking news were combined together, and all happened to the same person.
Every monk who heard about Si Qi's deeds remembered Si Qi's name and felt deeply in awe of his talent.
It can be imagined that this is definitely a strong man whose ability is not inferior to Chu Xianzun. Even if his cultivation is still very weak now, it is conceivable that when his existence is exposed, how many people in the world will go crazy for him and try their best to please him, protect him, and get benefits from him.
The head and elders of Lingxiao Sect are worried about this matter at the moment.
It's not that they are afraid of the group of people outside who are eyeing them covetously. As the first sect in the cultivation world, Lingxiao Sect still has this confidence.
They were worried about something else.
The head of the sect explained to Si Qi and Chu Xun, who had just arrived and were not aware of the situation , in a concise manner: "Someone from the Yuling Sect has come to inquire about the recent sale of a large number of top-grade elixirs in the sect.
" Both Si Qi and the original owner were new to the world of cultivation, and were unaware of many tacit understandings among the cultivators. They asked, "Who is the Yuling Sect?"
The elder standing by replied, "It is a well-deserved elixir-making sect in the world of cultivation. Most of the elixirs seen on the market are provided by them."
Si Qi immediately understood.
No wonder everyone was so worried at this moment, it turned out that the other party had bad intentions.
The "inquiry" mentioned by the headmaster just now is probably a statement after the revision. Si Qi guessed that the other party's tone would definitely not be very good when he came over, and he might even come here specifically to call for punishment.
Fortunately, their Lingxiao Sect is a big family with a big business, and they are not afraid of confronting others head-on. Therefore, the Yuling Sect did not dare to go too far, but just came to ask a question and express their attitude.
If other small sects did such a thing, they would probably be directly destroyed countless times by the wealthy and arrogant Yuling Sect - this is snatching food from the tiger's mouth, blatantly stealing their jobs!
If any industry is monopolized by a certain group for hundreds of years, the result will be that this group occupies the seller's market, and all consumers and other industry practitioners must listen to their rules and do things, and cannot cross the line.
Especially since this is the crucial field of elixirs in the world of cultivation, which cultivator dares to guarantee that he can use elixirs without relying on them on his path to immortality? He might need this crucial thing to save his life at any time. If he is blacklisted by the Yuling Sect and is not allowed to sell his elixirs to him, he will be in trouble and naturally dare not provoke them.
This has been going on for hundreds and thousands of years. The status of the Yuling Sect in the world of cultivation can be imagined. Even if they don't have an immortal like Chu Xun to protect them, there are still many people who are willing to go against the Lingxiao Sect for the elixirs in their hands.
That's why the Lingxiao Sect is in such an awkward situation, and they are a little angry.
One reason is that they think that their Lingxiao Sect is of noble status and will never be threatened by other sects.
Secondly, they felt extremely helpless if they gave up such a huge benefit right in front of them.
Thirdly, of course, they believed that Si Qi's ability was enough to defeat ten thousand enemies alone. As long as Lingxiao Sect had Si Qi, they would not mind even if they had to fight against Yuling Sect. They did not believe that without Yuling Sect's elixirs, the disciples of Lingxiao Sect would have no elixirs to eat.
The only problem that worried them was that Yuling Sect's connections were all over the cultivation world. If they really had to fight, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to Lingxiao Sect. They did not want to go that far unless it was absolutely necessary.
After thinking it over again and again, they still felt that such a matter must be asked Chu Xun, the backbone of everyone, to see if he was willing to help, and what Si Qi thought.
Chu Xun appears cold on the outside, but he actually has a bit of warmth in his heart, otherwise he would not have guarded the sect for so many years and made Lingxiao Sect famous. He did not object to this, and accepted the big trouble that might arise in the future with an indifferent expression - fighting against most of the provocateurs in the cultivation world on his own.
But Si Qi disagreed with this.
"Why is it either compromise or hostility? We can choose a third solution."
The head and the elders were puzzled: "The third solution?"
Si Qi smiled and said directly: "Of course it is cooperation!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, they pondered thoughtfully.
Si Qi did not give everyone time to think about it, and directly said the answer in his heart: "If I am willing to share the method of refining pills with Yuling Sect, will Yuling Sect still mind us selling top-grade pills with them?"
Everyone subconsciously answered: "Of course not!"
Or in other words, Yuling Sect simply picked up a huge bargain!!!
There are only so many resources in the world of cultivation. Since entering the world of cultivation, cultivators who are used to competing with others and the sky always like to take all the good things into their pockets and are absolutely reluctant to share them. At this moment, when they thought of giving away such a crucial pill recipe, everyone showed a look of disapproval on their faces, trying to make Si Qi give up this idea.
Who knew that Si Qi said the next second: "Then, why not let Yuling Sect help us refine and sell pills?"
Everyone was stunned again.
Si Qi said righteously: "Instead of working hard for a whole year to produce only a few top-grade pills, it is better to ask Yuling Sect to help us refine pills! With their daily scale of refining and selling pills, even if they only give us one-tenth of the reward, it will be many times more than if we refine it ourselves!"
The cultivators present were old and shrewd. To be able to become the elders of a large sect, naturally none of them were stupid, and they could calculate this account in an instant.
They calculated the amount of pills their own sect could refine every year, and then calculated the annual output of the Yuling Sect, whose production scale was enough to dominate the total amount of pills on the market. They immediately felt that the two sects were incomparable.
Originally, their Lingxiao Sect was not a place that was good at refining pills and weapons. It was good at skills and fighting, and it could not be compared with the sects that specialized in this area.
Looking at it this way...
it is obvious that only cooperation can make more money!
One by one, they quickly understood Si Qi's meaning and nodded enthusiastically: "That's right."
"It should be so!"
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. The monks who are accustomed to the cruel jungle laws have a desire for resources far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
They fought fiercely for a spiritual plant that helped them cultivate, risked their lives to kill and snatch it, just to make their cultivation path a little smoother. One can imagine how important a stable and large amount of spiritual stone income is to them.
The head of the sect breathed a sigh of relief and said with great satisfaction: "This method is very good."
Not only did it resolve the conflict with the Yuling Sect, but it also gained a natural ally. The benefits that the sect can get every year are far more than in the past. The difference between this and that is huge. It is not an exaggeration to say that it turned a disaster into a blessing and picked up a big bargain.
For a moment, the headmaster looked at Si Qi with not only admiration and love, but also a bit of respect for a wise man and treated him as an equal - until this moment, he realized that Si Qi was not only a person that everyone needed to protect, but also an important person who could influence everyone's decision to a certain extent, and make everyone listen carefully to his opinions and follow his ideas.
And Si Qi did not disappoint him at all, and continued: "Not only the Huiling Pill, but all our subsequent pill recipes can be handed over to the Yuling Sect to refine."
An elder who was originally very worried, now in a very good mood, laughed and joked: "Then the Yuling Sect has become the Danfeng of our sect."
The other elders heard this, imagined the scene, and laughed out loud.
With the pill formula that Si Qi took out, the cultivators of the Yuling Sect would no longer look down on the secret recipe that they once regarded as a treasure. On the one hand, they refine pills, on the other hand, they naturally have a very good relationship with the Lingxiao Sect, and on the other hand, they have to give back the benefits to the Lingxiao Sect. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Yuling Sect is the Danfeng of the Lingxiao Sect.
Si Qi added, "If the Yuling Sect knew my ability, they would not be reluctant to hand over the precious elixir formula they kept in secret to me."
In other words, seeing that Si Qi could easily master and adapt any elixir formula, and produce it on a large scale stably and efficiently, would they also think of those god-level elixirs that had once given the Yuling Sect a headache, and tried every means to study them, but could not be refined, and wish that Si Qi could help them figure it out?
Although such an action was a risk to hand over the sect's treasure to an outsider, if Si Qi could give them a satisfactory answer, the gains would undoubtedly be huge, and the risk would definitely be worth taking.
When everyone thought of this possibility, their hearts were even more excited.
The Yuling Sect has been studying alchemy for thousands of years, and any one of the top-grade recipes they have collected is enough to drive any sect crazy.
If they could take out all of them and give them to Si Qi to browse... the scene would make people ecstatic just thinking about it!
The head and the elders could no longer sit still, and immediately said: "We will contact the Yuling Sect."
"As long as Uncle Si and nephew agree to teach the recipe, we will definitely cooperate in all aspects!"
Si Qi smiled gently, and his easy-going appearance made everyone present like him to the core.
He said, "Of course, no problem. I'll leave it to you, uncle masters."
Everyone smiled happily, as if they had foreseen a large amount of spiritual stones flying towards them. They were so happy that they couldn't help but praise Si Qi's admirable spirit of dedication.
But they didn't know that Si Qi was also very happy: Ha, take out some of the things he has already mastered, get a bunch of top-notch private recipes for free, and get a large amount of stable income every year, and don't have to worry about anything else.
It's such a good thing, you'd be a fool not to agree!
The author has something to say:
--
咻咻 (囧): It feels like the style of the entire cultivation world is starting to become weird...
47 (smile): Have you seen a cultivator who clocks in regularly in the office? You will see it in the future.
Xiuxiu (laughing to death): Good guy, even if you come to the world of cultivation, you can't escape the fate of being a social animal!
Author (an idea): I suddenly thought of what to write in the extra chapter - modern social animals travel through the world of cultivation and continue to work 996! No, the physical fitness of the cultivators is so strong, 007 will not bury their strength, right?
Xiuxiu (shocked): Are you a devil? !!!
47 (slowly): Come on, kidnap this guy to the world of cultivation and let her be 007~
Author (furious): I warn you not to mess around! !
Thank you Mengli, Xingxingdiandeng, Lanlanhaidedimine (￣▽￣)~*
