Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 102
In the courtyard, Liu Xi took a deep look at Xiao Yue.

It seems that his little maid is a bit naive in some ways of the world just because of her age, but she definitely has nothing to do with being "stupid".

Enough is enough, and I will not continue this topic.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, he knows a lot, no matter it is harmful to him or Xiao Yue herself.

……

Perhaps it was because the time was still a bit early, the Xiao family asked him to refine the medicinal materials that had not yet been delivered, so he waited for a while and then he did not want to waste time, went into the house, sat cross-legged to meditate, and consolidated his cultivation.

He planned to go to several big markets in the city or the Miter auction house after refining the medicine today, if it was not too late, to see if he could find a long sword that was in his hand at this stage.

Two days ago, in the valley on the edge of the Warcraft Mountains, he used the golden scroll to practice the ground-level fighting skills. Although his consciousness had to withdraw from the illusory space inside the golden scroll due to the exhaustion of soul power, he was inside, It can be considered that he has practiced the basics of using swords to a high degree of proficiency, and later on, he barely got into the ground-level fighting skills.

But I just don't know if he is familiar with consciousness in that illusory space, and if he has mastered it in reality.

It took about half an hour.

Sheng Huang Yan Jue has been circulating in his body for a long time. Although there is no obvious increase in his cultivation base, Liu Xi can feel that his recent skyrocketing realm has been consolidated and solidified a bit.

Slowly recuperating, he pushed the door and went out, but saw Xiao Yue stepped forward and told him that the senior management of the Xiao family had sent the medicinal materials, but he was practicing just now and did not disturb him.

He roughly glanced at the pile of medicinal materials, and they were indeed the medicinal materials for refining the first-grade elixirs "Congealing Blood Powder" and "Rejuvenation Pill", but he found that the amount of medicinal materials seemed a bit large?
Not to mention three or five bottles, with this amount of medicinal materials, if you don't count the possible failure rate when refining medicine, it is more than enough to refine a dozen or twenty bottles.

He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and asked Xiao Yue who was at the side of the courtyard:

"Is this the medicinal materials for tomorrow's alchemy?"

Xiao Yue, who had a brief exchange with him in the early morning, was much more relaxed than before when she heard the rumors, and she might have noticed that he was somewhat different from the rumors, so she boldly raised her head, blinked her big eyes, road:
"No, the people who sent the medicinal materials said, these are the medicinal materials that you refined today, my lord. As for whether they also sent the medicinal materials for tomorrow, they didn't say. I think it should be just today's share." .”

Hearing this, Liu Xi's eyelids drooped.

The medicinal materials were almost doubled. Although it may be a good intention, the successive "good intentions" still made him somewhat displeased.

How wasteful is this thinking about him?

Of course, there is also the possibility that the Xiao family itself does not have a pharmacist, and the higher-ups may not know much about pharmacy.

But Liu Xi thinks that the most likely thing is that the senior officials of the Xiao family saw that it had been a day, and he hadn't asked them some "unreasonable" demands in their eyes. , made some tricks to win over him.

It should be noted that there is an unspoken rule in the pharmacist's profession, but whenever a pharmacist is invited to refine medicine, the requester has always prepared the medicinal materials by himself, and no matter whether he succeeds or not, he needs to pay the pharmacist for his action.

And if the alchemy is finished, even if there is still a lot of leftover medicinal materials given to the pharmacist in advance, they will not be returned.

For example, a pharmacist may only have a [-]% success rate in refining a certain kind of elixir, so in order to ask him to refine the elixir, if you want to be sure that you will not return in vain, then you will at least prepare two batches of medicinal materials.

If he succeeds in the first attempt and refines the elixir you want, then the rest of the medicinal materials will naturally be put into his pocket.

In Liu Xi's case, the amount of medicinal materials refined from three to five bottles of elixirs per day, the Xiao family fully doubled the base amount in consideration of the possibility of him failing to refine the medicines!
It's obvious, this is actually almost the same as blatantly giving him benefits.

It's just a little more tactful, with an extra layer of fig leaf...

However, Liu Xi was well aware of the reason for taking advantage of short manpower, but after careful consideration, he finally decided to accept the benefits.

It's not that he lacks this advantage, but considering that if he doesn't accept it, the senior management of the Xiao family will think too much about it, so it's better to accept it generously, and both parties will be happy.

But having said that, the extra batch of medicinal materials produced every day is also very valuable, at least hundreds of gold coins are worth it. If he has a high level of refining medicine and does not make mistakes when refining medicine, even the saved medicinal materials will be even greater. many.

Nearly a thousand gold coins per day, after a month, that is a relatively huge number.

What I earn in a month, I don’t know how long it will take to get it on those casual cultivators and mercenaries, and ordinary people can’t expect to have it for a lifetime.

No wonder it is said that pharmacists are extremely rich in this profession, this is only a first-grade pharmacist, that's the case, if the level goes up to a certain level, these copper-smelling things are not much different from dung.

Putting this batch of medicinal materials into the ring that already had a lot of free space, Liu Xi told Xiao Yue:

"During the time I am refining medicine, don't let anyone disturb me."

"Yes, my lord." Xiao Yue bowed her head in response.

Seeing this, Liu Xi nodded in satisfaction, entered the house, then closed the door, took out the medicine cauldron that alchemists never leave, and placed it in an empty place in the center of the house.

The medicine cauldron is not big, only a few feet square.

The whole body of this tripod is dark red, with a little bit of light on it. At the bottom of the medicine tripod, there are three ferocious beast heads and big mouths, forming three connected fire holes. The curves are continuous, and the deeper you go inside, the smaller the diameter is, and it seems to hide a mystery.

At the top of the medicine cauldron, there are poultry entrenched in a dark red cauldron cover, and there is a special hole in the cauldron cover, which is the place where medicinal materials are put in.

Take a closer look.

On the lid of the cauldron, there are some fine holes made of ice silver, which have the effect of heat dissipation and prevent the furnace from bursting due to high temperature. In the middle part of the medicine cauldron, a transparent mirror made of ice is placed. From here, one can clearly see all the movements inside while refining the medicine.

On the surface of the medicine cauldron, there are beautiful and magnificent carvings of warcraft, which look lifelike, like living things.

His eyes fell on the three animal heads with their mouths open under the medicine cauldron.

This is a tripod of three!
The medicine cauldron is also divided into grades, the more vents the cauldron furnace has, the higher the grade and the rarity of the medicine cauldron.

Liu Xi knows that this kind of crater is not just a matter of just punching a few holes, the mystery inside is hard for laymen to discover, and the crater is the essence of the medicine cauldron, which requires high-precision grinding. During the construction, as long as there is a slight error , the entire medicine cauldron will become a failure.

Therefore, a medicine cauldron with more burners has a stronger auxiliary effect on refining medicine.

Of course, if you want to control multiple burners, you need a stronger soul perception. As a first-grade alchemist, the original body can control two burners, which is already the limit.

And a good medicine cauldron is as important to a pharmacist as a sword in the hands of a warrior!
This three-mouth cauldron is already considered a good medicine cauldron, and it is very valuable.

In fact, ordinary first- and second-rank pharmacists are rarely able to equip such a level of precious medicine cauldron. If he had not had a senior third-rank pharmacist teacher for many years, he would have wanted to use such a level I don't know that the medicine tripod will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron, Liu Xi took out the ingredients and took a deep breath. To be honest, if he hadn't accepted everything from his original body, he wouldn't know the truth about the medicine he was about to refine.

It has been a few days since he came to this world, but this is the first time he has started to prepare medicine. Inexplicably, the blood flow under the skin has accelerated, and he is inevitably a little excited.

Recalling the medicine refining technique taught by the original teacher, as well as some techniques and precautions, Liu Xi touched the palm of his hand to the position of the burner, channeled the fighting spirit in his body, and gave a low drink:
"rise!"

Before he finished speaking, a ball of orange-red Dou Qi flames condensed in the palms of his two hands, and poured into the medicine cauldron through the fire channel.
