Chapter 4 Chapter 4 A guest has arrived.
"What? Qin Zhou is back, and he even went to the shop and asked the shopkeeper to open a pill room for him?" Mrs. Qin was stunned when she heard the clerk's report, "Where is the young master?"
"Madam, the young master is still in the alchemy room!"
"Go and have a look."
Braving the cool night breeze, Mrs. Qin quickly arrived at the shop.
It was already night, and the medicine shop was closed. The shop assistants had all gone home, and only some noises and lights could be heard faintly from the backyard of the shop.
Madam Qin walked in front, and the two maids who served her hurriedly followed behind her. I thought that Madam hadn't been so anxious for a long time. The young master was really a worry.
He first ran away from home because he was rejected by the Immortal Sect. A few days later, he was found but he didn't come back. Now he comes to the shop to make pills again. He must have been really shocked.
This made my wife anxious and angry.
Mrs. Qin took a few steps closer and saw the shopkeeper standing in the yard in his robe.
"Shopkeeper, where is Qin Zhou?"
Seeing Madam Qin, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam, the young master is in the alchemy room."
Madam Qin was not the kind of woman who was confined to her house. She had always traveled with Master Qin in her early years, and only settled down in Pingcheng after she had Qin Zhou. So when Master Qin was not in Pingcheng, everything was decided by Madam Qin.
"You're just going to let him in? He can make pills?" Mrs. Qin thought her son was fooling around, but she was even more afraid that he was really hurt by the previous immortal exam.
The shopkeeper stammered and couldn't say anything.
He was also confused, and it was not until the young master entered that he realized that he should not have let the young master act recklessly.
Alchemy is not a one-day job. Moreover, if it is true as the young master said that elixirs can be made without the use of immortal magic, the Qin family would not have to rely on others for so many years, and would not have to kowtow to the alchemist sent by the immortal sect every year.
Madam Qin rubbed her head. Seeing that the door of the alchemy room was closed, she became even more anxious, "Open the alchemy room and call the young master out."
"Mom, give me another hour." Suddenly, Qin Zhou's voice came from the alchemy room.
Mrs. Qin was startled. Her son's voice was steady, and there was no sign of trouble.
It was clear that he didn't say anything definite, but his tone was so steady, as if the elixir was already a sure thing.
I don't know why, but when I heard these words, my heart suddenly calmed down.
Mrs. Qin subconsciously looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper also nodded repeatedly.
This is how the young master convinced him just now.
It can't be said to be persuasive, but there is a sense of unquestionable confidence and completeness in it that makes people trust it unconsciously.
"Madam, then..." The guards stood aside, a little hesitant as to whether to ask the young master to come out.
Madam Qin shook her head and glanced at the door of the alchemy room steadily. "Go wait in the shop. My son wants me to wait, so I will wait for him for an hour."
…
Qin Zhou listened to the noise coming from outside the door gradually becoming smaller, and turned his attention back to the half-person-high stove in front of him.
"At this time, we need to add more firewood, increase the fire by two points, and raise the flame by one inch."
Chen San remembered it carefully.
Chen San stood aside and watched as the young master squatted in front of the fire, adding firewood from time to time. His movements were not skillful, but he just had an inexplicable feeling -
This furnace of elixir can really succeed.
"Master, do you really not need me to help you burn it?"
"No need. I'll just practice." Although he was familiar with all the alchemy processes, this was the first time he used Qin Zhou.
Fortunately, the elixir I am refining this time is of the lower level, so it won’t be a big problem since it’s my first time.
…
An hour later.
Qin Zhou brought Chen San back to the shop, where Mrs. Qin and the shopkeeper had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing them coming, he sent the rest of the servants away.
After all, no matter whether the pill is successfully refined or not, it cannot be laughed at in public by outsiders.
"Qin Zhou."
"Mom." Qin Zhou lowered his head slightly, avoiding the woman's sight.
"As a mother, I have to tell you that even if you can't enter the immortal gate, you are still my child, the eldest young master of the Qin family." Madam Qin sighed and supported her chin. "Mother knows that you want to enter the immortal gate for the Qin family. But this talent is given by God. I can only say that my son does not have that opportunity."
"Even if the Qin family doesn't have a young master who has entered the immortal sect, the Qin family is still the Qin family. My Qin Mansion is still the one who has the final say in Pingcheng. People should live a more open life and be contented to be happy."
"What mother taught me is right." Qin Zhou responded.
Madam Qin laughed loudly, "My son is smart, I won't say anything else. So that's it, go back home and have a good sleep."
Having said that, Mrs. Qin was about to stand up.
Chen San was stunned when he saw this.
Why doesn’t the madam ask about alchemy?
Are you sure that the young master didn't succeed?
"mother."
"Hmm?" Mrs. Qin paused as she was about to leave. "Anything else?"
Qin Zhou raised his hand and uncovered the small silk cloth in his palm, "Dan."
Mrs. Qin looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a few black pills that were rolled into the size of a fingernail lying on the indigo silk cloth. A closer look revealed a golden luster in the black, as if fine gold powder had been mixed in.
Even without getting close, you can faintly smell the fragrance of the Lingxin Fruit.
This is……
Basic elixir.
Mrs. Qin stared at it.
Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but come over... Wow.
This elixir is even better than the best ones in the shop.
Mrs. Qin's smile disappeared, but she looked at Qin Zhou seriously: "Qin Zhou, this is what you made."
Qin Zhou: “Yes.”
Seeing this, Chen San hurriedly said, "Madam, this was made by the young master. I saw him take it out of the furnace with my own eyes."
Madam Qin: "How many pills are there in one furnace?"
Qin Zhou said calmly: "Thirty."
Madam Qin pursed her lips, "Thirty-grade appearance is the same?"
Qin Zhou thought about it and said, "It's about the same."
Madam Qin raised her hand and waved, "Boss! Write a letter to Tianshan tomorrow and tell the alchemist not to come!"
Shopkeeper:!!
"Wait, let him come." Madam Qin narrowed her eyes, "My son has talent. Although this talent is not the same as that talent, this alchemy skill is enough to exchange for an entry-level pill from the Immortal Sect!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Madam is right!" In this way, the young master might really be able to enter the immortal world!
“No.”
Qin Zhou shook his head, "If I want to cultivate immortality, I will cultivate it myself. If I can refine the elixir, I can also refine the marrow cleansing elixir."
Mrs. Qin was stunned.
Her son is so arrogant?
but……
"Okay, then let those elders from the immortal sects regret their decision!" Mrs. Qin said happily.
"The ingredients for the elixirs were taken from the shop, so let's sell them there. Mom, I'm sleepy and want to rest. Chen San and I will go back first."
"Go ahead!"
…
Seeing Qin Zhou taking Chen San away, the smile on Mrs. Qin's face gradually faded.
The shopkeeper was still happy, "Young Master said he could make pills, and I thought he was just bragging, but now I've really slapped myself in the face!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at his wife, and her face did not look so good.
"Madam, the young master can make pills now, isn't that a good thing? You..."
Mrs. Qin sighed, "It's a good thing."
"That……"
"How come Qin Zhou has learned to make pills after just a few days of not seeing him? I just saw that his temperament has become much more stable. Why do you think that is?"
"Madam, this matter of not entering the immortal sect must be a big blow to the young master. But sooner or later the young master will inherit the Qin family shop, so there is nothing wrong with being more mature and stable..." the shopkeeper said hesitantly.
"Probably."
Mrs. Qin nodded and walked out of the shop slowly. There was bright moonlight above her head, but she felt an inexplicable sadness.
She gently covered her chest.
It's as if something has been lost.
"Madam!" The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something and hurriedly chased after her, "Today, that playboy from the Zhang family came to cause trouble for the young master again."
Madam Qin paused, not caring about the inexplicable sadness in her heart. She raised her eyes and glared at him, "Tell me in detail."
The shopkeeper quickly explained what happened when the young master came to get the Lingxin Fruit.
"Madam, don't you think the Zhang family is very arrogant? If it wasn't in front of our shop, the young master might have been caught by the Zhang family guards."
Madam Qin frowned, "I heard that the Zhang family had gained some support, but I didn't expect their arrogance to grow so quickly."
"What about us?"
"We can't let this go, but we have to think about it in the long run. I'll go back and write a letter, and you can have someone deliver it to the provincial capital and give it to the master."
"yes."
…
On the way back home, Chen San couldn't help but look at his young master frequently, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Just tell me if you have something to say." said Qin Zhou who was dozing off.
"Master, you clearly took out fifty pills from that furnace. Why did you say there were thirty pills in one furnace when Madam asked?"
Qin Zhou opened his eyes and asked, "How many pills does an ordinary alchemist make in one furnace?"
Chen San remembered what the shopkeeper had said, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Twenty."
Others can make twenty pills in one furnace, but the young master can make fifty pills in one furnace.
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind," said Qin Zhou.
Chen San only understood half of it and just nodded.
Anyway, what the young master said is right.
Qin Zhou closed his eyes again.
The number of pills produced from one furnace depends on the amount of ingredients, the grade of the furnace and the alchemist's control over the furnace fire.
When the quota of elixir materials and furnaces are the same, the alchemist's skills are crucial.
What Chen San couldn't see was that on Qin Zhou's panel, in an inconspicuous corner, a title achievement called [Master of Ultimate Skills Alchemy] had lit up.
[Master of Special Skills]: Refine pills 10,000 times cumulatively. (High Honor) Rarity of pills +10%, with a 70% chance of obtaining an extra pill.
…
After getting off the carriage, Qin Zhou looked up.
This is the Qin Mansion.
In the dim night, it is not difficult to see the grandeur of the Qin Mansion.
Two stone lions stood firmly on both sides of the house, and a red-painted gate stood solemnly in the middle.
As Qin Zhou approached, a guard immediately came forward, held up a lantern to see the two men's faces clearly, and immediately welcomed them in.
It was late at night, so Qin Zhou asked Chen San to take him back to his dormitory.
Qin Zhou had been burning the stove all night and was tired, so he found his room and went straight in.
Chen San lit the lamp and went out to ask someone to boil water.
The house is clean and tidy, and everything you see is luxurious and classy. Not bad.
Qin Zhou was just about to pour himself a cup of cold tea when he heard some movement behind the beaded curtain. This made his hand, which was suspended in the air, pause, "So there are guests."
Qin Zhou put down the cup and slowly took two steps back towards the door.
"I have been waiting for Young Master Qin for two hours." The other party's voice was cold and magnetic, but the tone of his words seemed a bit gritted.
