Seeing that Wen Wubin didn't say anything, Qin Mao felt very proud and thought he had defeated the other party.
That's right, Bai Qing's cultivation level is indeed not as good as Su Mu's, and even far behind. But this time they participated in an alchemy and medicine exchange forum, not a cultivation forum, so what they were competing for was definitely their ability in making elixirs, not cultivation.
Thinking of this, Qin Mao said to Bai Qing: "We are alchemy doctors. Cultivation is important, but learning about elixirs is more important. If you don't even know how to make elixirs, can you still be considered an alchemy doctor? It's better to change your career as soon as possible and study the basic theories of cultivation and foundation building."
This sentence seemed to be educating Bai Qing, but it was actually meant for Wen Wubin.
Everyone looked at Wen Wubin and thought that with his temper, he would definitely get angry when he heard this.
However, Wen Wubin's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
Not only did he not get angry, he nodded and agreed: "Old Qin's words make sense."
Everyone was stunned: What's going on? The sun is rising from the west? Has Lao Wen's temper changed?
Only Xu Yue knew that his teacher did not get angry because he felt that he was the winner.
Others may not know how strong Su Mu's skills are in making elixirs, but she and Wen Wubin know it very well.
Be it the Burning Peach Blossom Fragrance Pills and the Soul-Concentrating Fragrance sold in the krypton store, or the Qi-Refining Pills and Soul-Cultivating Pills that are about to be put on the shelves, or the MLM... healing pills and detoxification pills recommended to Ren Gang and the others, any one of them can easily surpass Bai Qing.
Yes, Bai Qing is very talented. She has learned how to refine the most difficult types of low-level elixirs, and the quality of her products is quite good.
But she just followed the recipe and made it.
What about Su Mu? Although the difficulty of refining the incense pills and elixirs is not high, they have been improved to enhance the effect!
Especially the Qi-Refining Pills and the Spirit-Cultivating Pills, which are related to cultivation, have been polished by countless alchemy doctors, and the degree of completion is already quite high, but Su Mu still improved them. Such a skill is not comparable to ordinary geniuses! It is not that you can surpass it by learning a few high-difficulty pills.
Since he considered himself the winner, Wen Wubin certainly would not be angry at Qin Mao's words. He even felt that these words really touched his heart.
Wen Wubin pondered: "Su Mu is good in every aspect, but he has written too few papers on alchemy. So far, there are only two papers, the Refining Qi Pill and the Burning Peach Blossom Fragrance Pill. Moreover, these two papers only give a general direction in theory, without much substance, so they did not attract much attention. There must be many people like Lao Qin who don't care about these two articles. Again, we have to let Su Mu write a few more articles on alchemy..."
Qin Mao looked at Wen Wubin in surprise.
He had clenched his fists and was ready to grab Bai Qing and run away if Wen Wubin got angry.
Unexpectedly, Wen Wubin not only did not get angry, but instead agreed with what he said.
This made him very confused: "What's going on, Lao Wen? Is he giving in? Oh my, this is not easy."
Qin Mao thought happily.
Since Wen Wubin had already "admitted defeat", he didn't want to attack him any further, and even praised Su Mu a few words.
Seeing this, Wen Wubin also praised Bai Qing back.
Both of them thought they were winners and should have the broad mind of a winner, but others were confused. They couldn't understand why the two people who were fighting a few minutes ago suddenly became so affectionate and praised each other's business.
What is this? Is this a mutual affection? Do you want to kiss passionately?
After chatting for a few more minutes, Qin Mao took Bai Qing away.
Not long after they walked away, Qin Mao said in a serious tone: "When the exchange forum is over and you return to school, you will go into seclusion. You can come out only when you have improved your cultivation to the first-class A level."
"Ah?" Bai Qing was shocked.
Qin Mao turned his head and glanced at her: "What? You are a cultivator, and cultivation is the foundation! I don't want to compete with anyone, I just think that your cultivation should progress faster."
Don't you want to compete with someone? Then who would believe you if you set a goal of being the top grade? The old man is very bad!
Of course Bai Qing didn't dare to say this out loud.
She could only say: "But didn't you just say that as an alchemy doctor, learning about alchemy is more important?"
Qin Mao nodded: "You reminded me that cultivation is important, but learning about elixirs is even more important. When you return to school, you must write me a high-quality paper on elixirs that can be published in a top domestic academic journal!"
High-quality papers that can be published in top academic journals?
Teacher, are you so cruel? I'm only a freshman...
Bai Qing sighed, but didn't dare to say this out loud.
She knew her teacher's temper too well.
If you really say this, you will definitely be criticized like "If Su Mu can do it, why can't you" or "If Su Mu can do it, you can do it too".
So, don't make yourself unhappy.
After thinking for a while, Bai Qing asked cautiously: "So when I return, should I practice in seclusion or write a paper?"
Qin Mao replied, "Both at the same time. During the retreat, you have to practice and write papers. You have to complete both before you can leave!"
"Ah?!" Bai Qing was shocked. Is this... so cruel?
"What? Do you have any objections?" Qin Mao looked at her sideways.
"No..." Bai Qing looked resentful. Even if I had any opinions, I wouldn't dare to raise them.
Oh, it’s going to be hard times now.
Given Qin Mao's temper, he would definitely not bring any entertainment equipment with him during his retreat.
You can’t watch TV series or anime, you can’t play pay-to-win mobile games... The most terrifying thing is that you will lose your hair because of writing a thesis.
Many seniors in the medicine major had their hair fall out because of the thesis. Bai Qing originally thought that such a thing was far away from him, but he didn't expect it to be arranged now.
Bai Qing touched his hair and couldn't help shivering.
I don't want to join the bald tribe!
"Should I buy some Peiyuanling wine and apply it first, just in case? I heard that this wine is really effective in preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth, and many seniors are using it. The professor from Mount Emei just now seemed to be using Peiyuanling wine as well. But it's out of stock at the krypton store, so I have to go to Xianyu to buy a second-hand, overpriced version..."
The more Bai Qing thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary.
She took out her cell phone and sent a message to a male classmate, asking which store on Xianyu sold the more reliable Peiyuanling wine.
The male classmate replied almost immediately.
"What do you want to do with Pei Yuan Ling wine? Give it to your parents? That's right, I won't give gifts this year. If I have any gifts, I will only give Pei Yuan Ling wine!"
"How much did you receive from Peiyuanling Wine for advertising? Why don't you just sing it? Stop talking nonsense and tell me which one is reliable."
Although the male classmate was criticized, he was not angry at all and was still laughing.
At the same time, he replied: "If you want to buy on Xianyu, the most reliable one must be Little Leaves. This seller started selling the treasures on the Krypton Store not long after the store opened. Although the price is a bit expensive, the goods are genuine! Whether it is the SSR Soul Rune, the Soul-Concentrating Incense, or anything else, he has them all, and they are rarely out of stock. He is also buying the Peiyuan Spirit Wine this time."
"Little leaf? OK, I get it. Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. When will you be back? I'll treat you to a meal. A Tujia restaurant has just opened at the foot of the mountain. I heard the food is delicious..."
"Let's talk about it later. When I get back I have to practice in seclusion and write my thesis. I really don't have time to eat."
"Are you so busy? You don't even have time to eat? How pitiful... Well, training and studies are more important. We'll make an appointment when you're done."
"Haha, let's talk about it later."
On the other side, Chen Wen and others were curious and asked: "Old Wen, why did you only talk about your cultivation and thesis just now, and didn't show what kind of elixirs Su Mu can make?"
Wen Wubin did not answer this question, but just smiled mysteriously.
I'm afraid that if I reveal it, you will all be surprised.
His eyes fell on Chen Wen's head.
He was in a good mood and asked, "Old Chen, do you have a lot of Peiyuanling wine?"
When Chen Wen heard this, he immediately showed his guard: "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't even think about taking my Pei Yuan Ling wine. I only have a small bottle, not enough for myself."
Wen Wubin spat, "Do I think highly of your little Peiyuan Lingjiu? I just drink it like water... Bah, I've never drunk it, and I don't need to drink it!"
Chen Wen didn't take his words seriously.
Drinking Peiyuanling wine as water? What a joke! Do you think this wine is easy to buy?
"Anyway, don't try to take my Peiyuan Lingjiu, or I will turn against you." Chen Wen said. He was also scared of hair loss, and it was so hard to get something that could make his hair grow again, so he naturally regarded it as a treasure.
"Look at how stingy you are." Wen Wubin snorted.
Originally, he wanted to help Chen Wen and go to Su Mu to buy some Pei Yuan Ling wine, but now seeing that Chen Wen was so tactless, he was too lazy to help him anymore and let Chen Wen find a way to buy it himself. Anyway, he was not short of money, so he could buy Xiao Ye Zi from Xianyu at a high price and let Su Mu make more money.
Qin Mao’s little episode was over, and the group continued to go to the teahouse.
On the way, someone suddenly asked: "Oh, by the way, did you bring students with you this time? What kind of elixirs did you ask them to prepare for the demonstration?"
This kind of national cultivation exchange forum has an unwritten convention, which is that at the reception dinner on the first day, those who bring students can let the students showcase their works.
For example, in the forum for exchanging elixirs and medical skills, the focus is naturally on displaying elixirs or medical skills. If it is a forum for exchanging talismans and arrays, then the focus is on talisman arrays.
During the presentation, the famous artists present would also give some comments, which could be regarded as a way of encouraging the younger generation and helping them to become famous.
"I brought my newly recruited graduate student with me. He prepared a Grade 4 Class A Blood Yak Pill!"
"I didn't recruit any graduate students this year, so I brought a good freshman to see the world. I asked her to prepare a five-colored pill, but because she learned it in a hurry, the quality is average. Please give her some face when you comment on her, and don't criticize her until she cries."
"The student I am teaching is a sophomore. He has become enlightened after building his foundation this year and has shown a great talent in making pills, so I brought him here to see the world... He also prepared Five Elements Jade Dew Pills, but the quality is not as high as Bai Qing's. Alas, this time the medicine is mixed."
It is very common for pills to mix up with each other, especially among low-level pills.
After all, among these elixirs, there are only a few that are difficult to make and require a lot of skills, so it is inevitable that you will encounter them.
It's not a big deal if you take the wrong medicine, but it will be embarrassing for whoever is worse... This big guy is obviously a little embarrassed.
But he quickly comforted himself in his heart: It’s okay, there may be worse ones, as long as it’s not the last.
Wen Wubin and Xu Yue looked at each other with strange expressions, and they both understood what the other was thinking: "Oh no, how could we forget about this!"
Yes, the two of them didn't ask Su Mu to prepare any elixirs at all.
In fact, at first, they all remembered it and planned to teach Su Mu a difficult elixir after he had consolidated his foundation.
As a result, when Su Mu's cultivation was consolidated and they were about to teach him, Su Mu took out an article about foundation building. Then the two of them were so absorbed in reading it that they forgot about the matter. Wen Wubin even relied on this article to break through to the peak of level six!
Later, there was the flood of evil dragons, and then there were new articles... and a series of other things happened one after another, especially the two articles on the basic theory of cultivation, which made Wen Wubin and Xu Yue forget everything. So this matter was forgotten again, and was forgotten completely. It was not until this moment when they heard people mention it that they remembered it, and then they were dumbfounded.
Xu Yue lowered her voice and asked, "Teacher, what should I do? How about I teach Su Mu a pill recipe now?"
Wen Wubin thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "What's the point of teaching now? The time is too short. No matter how talented Su Mu is, he can't learn the recipe all at once. This is different from the test. The recipe given by the test is limited in difficulty, so he can learn it quickly and even make improvements.
But the worst of the elixirs on display at this banquet must be the most difficult of the second-level elixirs. If you don't study hard for a period of time, even if you learn how to make such elixirs, the quality of the products you make will not be high!"
Krypton Gold Cheats: Haha, who are you looking down on? Put your hands on your hips, unhappy, humph!
(ˉ^ˉ)
"What should we do then?" Xu Yue asked.
Wen Wubin sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't let Sumu Liangdan tonight. Not all students can do it anyway. As for fame, once his article is published in the Journal of Cultivation Studies, his fame will come immediately, which will be much more than the fame he gets from Liangdan!"
"This is the only way." Xu Yue nodded.
There is still a lot of unhappiness in the hearts of both of them.
What a great opportunity to show off!
If they hadn't forgotten about this matter before because Su Mu's article was so good, tonight would be their night to show off... ahem, it would be Su Mu's night to show off.
What a pity!
PS: Thank you all for your concern. I have a cough and a headache, so I will only write 4,000 words today. I am going to take a rest.
