Chapter 54 The sound was too loud just now
Seeing that Master Wu had misunderstood, Old Master Shan hurriedly explained, "Don't underestimate these three young people; they are all senior alchemists from the Alchemist Guild."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Wu proudly raised his chin: "My old man is also in the Alchemist Guild. I wonder when they joined the Alchemist Guild?"
"This...this must be quite old, right?" Old Master Shan looked at Shanxi with a puzzled expression.
Shanxi nodded and said, "They joined the Alchemist Guild 150 years ago."
At that time, she personally approved it.
"One...one hundred and fifty years?" Master Wu spat out his tea.
Grandpa Wu, standing to the side, also widened his eyes in disbelief. "They...they don't even look 150 years old!"
Those three young men looked younger than his grandson, but they were actually older than him?
"It's just the effect of the Youth Preservation Pill." Shanxi gently stroked her teacup, elegantly sipped the tea, and said calmly.
A youth-preserving elixir?
Grandpa Wu was startled, and then realized that the three people must have taken some kind of youth-preserving pill, which was why they could maintain their youth.
However, this discovery instantly caused a stir among the people in the room!
Who among the people in this room isn't in their seventies or eighties, who isn't past middle age and about to enter old age?
It turned out that the people outside the door were actually older than them.
"Grandpa Wu, how much does this Youth Preservation Pill cost?"
"Looking at that young man's physique and face, you'd think he was my grandson."
"You're right, she looks so young."
A group of elderly people stood expectantly at the door, watching the three people outside who were busily refining elixirs, finding it hard to believe that they were actually the same age as them!
If it weren't for the head of the family and the kind old master saying it himself, they would have thought he was some young apprentice from somewhere.
"Even if they joined the Alchemist Guild 150 years ago, that doesn't mean they're better than my father, right? My father is a fifth-grade alchemist now!" Old Master Wu said indignantly.
His father has always been the pride and pillar of the Wu family.
What right do these three people have to teach his father?
"You good-for-nothing! Do you think the Alchemist Guild is just a bunch of freeloaders? They've been in there for 150 years, so their alchemy skills must have improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing your father's." Old Master Wu glared at Old Master Wu with a look of displeasure.
He applied to join twenty times, but only succeeded on the last application.
Why?
Isn't it because his alchemy skills are not refined enough or stable enough?
The fact that these three were recognized by the Alchemist Guild 150 years ago means that they had already refined the fifth-grade pills that he had only refined last year. Their strength must be above his.
“Your son is right. I thought the Alchemist Guild was a place where people could improve, but it turns out these three haven’t improved at all,” Shanxi said with a look of disdain.
Upon hearing this, the three who were refining elixirs were on the verge of tears: Master, please don't scold us! We know we were wrong.
After learning the truth, Old Master Wu hurriedly ran towards the three men and respectfully asked, "May I ask which of you three masters would be willing to give me some guidance?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba gave Old Master Wu a meaningful look and said, "You want to refine a sixth-grade pill? Perfect timing. There's been a problem with my batch. I can't refine an eighth-grade pill, but refining a seventh-grade one shouldn't be a problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Wu froze for three seconds, as if petrified.
"Are you... joking with me?" Old Master Wu's voice trembled slightly.
Not only was his voice trembling, but he also felt his knees trembling.
As the aroma of medicine wafted over, he was surprised to realize that this batch of pills was most likely a seventh-grade pill!
A casual refining process yields a seventh-grade pill?
Even refining it in public?
Old Master Wu suddenly realized that he had spoken too loudly. How dare he question whether someone was an apprentice and had only average alchemy skills?
Oh My God!
This isn't an apprentice, this is clearly a master!
"No, how about this, after I finish this batch, I'll refine another batch of sixth-grade ones for you, so you can see them more clearly." Xiao Ba said kindly, in a considerate tone.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wu felt dizzy and wished he could pinch his philtrum to stay awake.
The master who could easily refine seventh or eighth grade pills actually said he would specially refine a batch of sixth grade pills for him, just so that he could see more clearly.
He suddenly felt extremely dizzy and his vision blurred.
"Refining a sixth-grade item? Eighth brother, you really know how to make things difficult for yourself," said the seventh brother from the side.
“Well…that’s still better than him troubling Master,” the man called Lao Ba said with a troubled expression.
Xiao Shi, who was at the very edge, laughed and said, "Let me do it, let me do it! Refining sixth-grade items is my specialty."
As he spoke, Xiao Shi waved enthusiastically to Old Master Wu: "Come over here. Which kind of pills below the ninth grade would you like to see? I'll demonstrate how to refine one for you right here."
Old Master Wu was so dizzy that he was completely disoriented.
He could understand what these people were saying, but when they were put together, he felt a little confused.
How come something as difficult as alchemy seems as simple as drinking water and eating to them?
Listen to that tone, so calm and nonchalant.
"You can't even refine a tenth-grade pill? How dare you teach others?" Shanxi's deep and authoritative voice came from inside, striking everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Upon hearing this, the three immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, and focused intently on refining the elixir.
Old Master Wu had already been shocked three or four times. He thought he was gradually getting used to this kind of shock, but when he heard Shanxi say that they were ashamed to teach others, he couldn't help but be shocked and speechless again.
Such alchemy skills are not even qualified to be taught to others?
What level of alchemy skill must one possess to be qualified to be a teacher and impart the art of alchemy?
Sunmyungwon glared at Sunhee fiercely, his expression seeming to say: "Will you die if you don't brag?"
If such a skilled alchemist isn't qualified to teach, then what kind of alchemist would be qualified?
Furthermore, how much money did the philanthropist give these three people to make them call a good-for-nothing their master?
Old Master Wu swallowed hard, not daring to urge or disturb him. He simply stood silently to the side, carefully observing the other person's alchemy movements.
He never dared to dream of witnessing a ninth-grade alchemist refining pills in his lifetime.
Now he can not only see, but also observe up close, which is truly wonderful.
