Qin Gengyun walked into Lingdanfang at exactly noon time.

The place is not very big, with only a courtyard and two alchemy rooms.

It is located on the edge of Caifeng Street, far less powerful than the Danfu Tower, Lingbao Pavilion, Fuyuan Pavilion and Yinyuan Pavilion which are from big cities.

The owner of the shop is a second-level alchemist, and it is said that he will soon break through to the third level. At that time, Lingdan Shop will be renamed "Lingdan Pavilion" and moved to the center of Caifeng Street to show off its glory.

Of course, these words were spoken by the master's apprentice, the manager of the alchemy workshop, after drinking, and I don't know whether they are accurate.

As I walked into Lingdanfang, two colleagues arrived.

"Friend Qin, good morning!"

"Friend Wang, Friend Xu, good morning!"

Qin Gengyun smiled and bowed to the two men. One of them was called Wang Ping and the other was called Xu Li. They were similar to Qin Gengyun, with ordinary backgrounds, talents, and cultivation, so they could only work in the alchemy workshop.

However, Wang Ping and Xu Li had long since lost interest in the topic. They came to work at Lingdan Pavilion just to earn some spirit stones to support their lives, without any desire for advancement.

After receiving their monthly salary, the two would go to Yihonglou to listen to music, and they lived a carefree life.

After the three of them checked in, they crossed the yard and came to an alchemy room.

Usually, alchemists have several medicine servants under them. There are three types of medicine servants:

The alchemy furnace attendant is responsible for cleaning and maintaining the alchemy furnace.

The elixir attendant is responsible for cleaning the toxic residue left in the elixir furnace after refining the elixir.

The Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant is responsible for fanning the fire-controlling spirit fan to control the size of the fire during alchemy. The spirit fan requires spiritual power to operate, which has high requirements. He also has the highest status among the medicine attendants.

Qin Gengyun's cultivation was not enough, so he naturally could not be a spirit fan medicine attendant, and he dared not touch the elixir poison again, so he could only seek a lowest-level elixir furnace medicine attendant in the spiritual elixir workshop.

Wang Ping and Xu Li had already laid down. Like him, they were also alchemy furnace attendants.

The duties of these three people are to clean the alchemy furnace, replenish the alchemy stones, organize the medicinal materials, and clean the yard.

It is much easier than when Qin Gengyun worked in Tiandan Pavilion in Zhenyang City, but of course the pay is also very different.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you took a leave yesterday and missed the big event."

Wang Ping and Xu Li took the spirit broom and cleaned the alchemy furnace while chatting.

"What big scene?" Qin Gengyun asked puzzledly.

"The master refined an Ice Purity Pill yesterday!"

Xu Li excitedly said to Zheng Gengyun:

"That's a second-grade elixir, it can be sold for fifty spirit stones on the market!"

Wang Ping began to look forward to it: "I wonder if the monk will give us an extra spirit stone next month?"

Xu Li sneered: "What are you thinking? The abbot can only change the flying sword for himself, he can't increase our reward."

"Fellow Daoist Xu is absolutely right. Alas!"

“Ice Purity Pill…”

Qin Gengyun lowered his head and worked in silence.

The poison in his body is a stubborn fire poison, and Bingqingdan is the elixir that can cure it.

However, even the Bingqing Pill worth fifty spirit stones could not cure the poison he had contracted.

Only the higher grade "Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill" can completely eliminate the special poison in his body.

However, these fourth-grade elixirs are all controlled by the three major sects and are not circulated among the people at all. It can be said that they are priceless. Even if there are a hundred Qin Gengyuns, not a single elixir is worth anything.

Fortunately, there is hope now. I will practice more with Qiu Zhihe in the next few days, and when my cultivation level breaks through to the third level of Qi training, I will become an alchemist from an apprentice of an alchemist.

Then you can try to make the pills yourself.

When my alchemist realm reaches the fourth level in the future, if I can find a way to get the recipe for the elixir from a large sect, perhaps I will be able to refine this "Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill" by myself.

Qin Gengyun has worked in the Alchemy Pavilion for many years and has quietly put in a lot of hard work, but because his spiritual awareness is not enough, he cannot put his knowledge of alchemy into practice.

Now there's finally a chance.

"Hey, have you heard? The Demon Sect has finally been wiped out, and the Demon Sect's Saint Master and Saint Maiden are both dead!"

Instead of talking about the painful salary, Wang Ping talked about the hottest topic recently.

"Tsk, Fellow Daoist Xu, you are out of date. Do you know how the Demon Sect's Saint Master and Saint Daughter died?"

Xu Li laughed, and Wang Ping asked quickly, "How did he die?"

Xu Li looked around and said mysteriously, "The Demon Sect Saint Master and Saint Daughter were besieged by masters from the Zhenyang Sect, Feiyun Sect, and Leijian Sect. The two big demons were about to be defeated and tried to practice dual cultivation on the spot, trying to use the Shocking Demonic Art. Fortunately, they were stopped by the three sect masters. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, they both exploded and died!"

Wang Ping was stunned: "But I heard that the Demon Sect's Saint Master is also a woman, how can we practice dual cultivation?"

Xu Li was startled, coughed dryly, and changed the subject:

"Come to think of it, when the three major sects were negotiating with the Demon Sect, I saw the Demon Sect's Saint Xia Qinglian from afar."

"Oh?" Wang Ping immediately became interested: "It is said that Xia Qinglian is beautiful and charming. Have you seen her clearly, Brother Xu?"

"Friend Wang, you are wrong."

Xu Li closed his eyes and recalled, shaking his head:

"Xia Qinglian is more than just beautiful, she is simply as beautiful as a fairy, especially her figure, which is tall and slender, like a giant peach. She is simply enchanting and unparalleled in the world!"

Wang Ping's eyes widened when he heard this: "What a pity, such a beautiful woman died just like that. If I could spend a night with her, I would have no regrets in my life!"

Xu Li sneered: "Friend Wang, that is a demon sect witch who has killed countless people. With your body, you can't even suppress Xiao Cui from Yihonglou. Just forget it."

"Friend Xu, how can you slander someone innocent? Xiao Cui praised my profound cultivation last night!"

The time spent slacking off always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is already the You hour.

After Qin Gengyun finished his shift, he walked quickly towards the narrow rain alley.

In the past, he was alone in that cramped rental house, but now he has his wife waiting for him at home, and the feeling in his heart is very different.

It’s a pity that I have nothing now and I’m also poisoned, so I can’t give my wife more.

Qin Gengyun thought about it, stopped, turned and walked towards Caifeng Street.

We got married in a hurry yesterday and had to borrow the wedding dress. I feel really sorry for Qiu Zhihe.

Even if you can't afford the bride price, you can at least afford small things like jewelry and rouge that the woman likes, right?

Half an hour later.

Qin Gengyun walked out of Caifeng Street dejectedly. He had just taken a walk around. Not to mention the high-end jade hairpins and new rouge in the Rouge Pavilion, even ordinary jade hairpins in ordinary shops cost dozens of spirit baht, which could be enough for half a month's rent.

After all, I have to practice hard and become an alchemist as soon as possible, so that I can earn more spirit stones and get out of this predicament.

As the sky gradually darkened, Qin Gengyun walked into an alley and headed towards the narrow Rain Lane.

Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable chill on his back and turned around quickly. It was pitch black behind him and there was no one.

But that icy feeling locked onto him tightly.

Qin Gengyun's heart sank. The world of cultivation was not peaceful. There had been cultivators missing in Yunling Town recently. He immediately quickened his pace and hurried home.

When he walked away, a petite figure in a black robe slowly emerged from the darkness, with a puzzled look on her pretty round face:

"What on earth is this guy trying to do while wandering around?"
