Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 124 The Strangeness of the Three Elders
The elixir refined yesterday is naturally incomparable with today's elixir. Today, he has purified the medicinal ingredients four times during the refining process of each furnace of elixir. The color and quality of the elixir will naturally rise to a higher level.

For this, he spent a lot of energy.

Fortunately, his alchemy skills are a little more familiar, and everything is worth it.

"The third elder's words are somewhat correct, but the main thing is that he has made some progress in refining medicine in the next few days." He replied casually.

"Haha, so it turns out that Mr. Liu Xi has improved in his medicine refining skills, which is gratifying and congratulatory. Our Xiao family is proud of this matter!"

The third elder had a wide smile on his face at the moment.

Liu Xi is now the Xiao family's specially hired pharmacist, and his progress in refining medicine will be beneficial and harmless to the Xiao family.

This means that the quality of the elixir will not be low every day in the future, so it is naturally worth being happy.

"Ahem, that's how it is. I'm here today, but I have something I want to discuss with the third elder." Liu Xi coughed lightly and said with a harmless smile on his face.

"Negotiate things?"

The third elder was taken aback for a moment, then his smile subsided slightly, and he put one hand on the lower part of his shirt, and said:

"But Mr. Liu Xi, you are not very satisfied with the 'remuneration' for refining medicine and the current treatment in the Xiao family? This is easy to say, looking back..."

Seeing this, Liu Xi was speechless for a while, waved his hand, and interrupted:
"The third elder misunderstood. It's not a matter of remuneration and treatment, but something else to discuss."

"Let's talk about something else? Could it be something important? If it's something important, the old man can't be the master alone, and the patriarch and the others need to be summoned."

When the third elder heard the words, he said solemnly.

As he said that, he was waiting to greet the attendant who was standing by the side, and ordered him to inform the senior officials of the Xiao family.

In this regard, Liu Xi smiled faintly, told him to be calm, and then cut straight to the point:

"It shouldn't be anything important, but in the next two days in your family, I found a person who is very appetizing and wants to accept him as a student."

"Oh? Is there anyone in my Xiao family who can meet the requirements to become a pharmacist? Mr. Liu Xi, you look at him differently... Hmm? Mr. Liu Xi, what's wrong?"

Just as he was talking, the third elder saw Liu Xi waving at him again.

This made his speech stagnate, and at the same time, his face was slightly unhappy.

With these interruptions one after another, do you want him to stop talking today?

On the side, seeing his appearance, Liu Xi smiled wryly in his heart, he really didn't mean it.

It's just that you are not too young at this age, so don't just think about good things sometimes, okay?

When did he say he was going to teach that person alchemy?

If he wanted to accept apprentices, he must teach them how to make medicine?The other party must meet the innate conditions to become a pharmacist?

Can't he teach something else?
"That...Third Elder, you misunderstood again. It is true that I intend to recruit students, but that person does not meet the innate requirements to become a pharmacist."

Liu Xi slowed down his voice as much as possible, mainly because he was afraid that he... would not be able to hold his face.

In the end, it would be bad if he felt that he was deliberately entertaining him because of this, and it would lead to conflicts...

Having said that, when dealing with other people, he didn't think about it at all, but the third elder of the Xiao family in front of him, he felt...it was necessary!

In fact, Liu Xi has some doubts, if he is not the only three great fighters in the Xiao family besides the patriarch Xiao Zhan, it is still unknown whether he can hold the title of elder.

Hmm... No wonder it's just the third elder who takes the last place.

He automatically filtered the age factor, which is one of the elder seat sorting factors...

"...Well, it turns out that it is not a seedling who can become a pharmacist, old man... old man..." The third elder said to himself several times, old man, and finally slapped his thigh under the table, his eyes glared, just when Liu Xi thought it was him. When he was about to jump up and hit someone, he let out a long breath and said:

"It was just now that the old man made a picture!"

Liu Xi: "..."

After a moment of silence, barely digesting the stamina of the wonderful scene brought to him by the third elder just now, he straightened his back slightly and said:
"Third Elder, I don't know about accepting disciples..."

"Mr. Liu Xi, I'm sorry for the old man's bluntness. You are so young. At this moment, you want to experience the feeling of being a teacher. This old man can understand. However, this apprenticeship and apprenticeship are not child's play. Once confirmed, there is no room for maneuver. , Those who worship you as a teacher will enshrine to you for the rest of their lives, be a teacher for one day, and be a teacher for the rest of their lives, and they cannot betray them."

The words of the third elder did not fall as Liu Xi expected. With his realistic and direct character, when he saw that he was not teaching medicine refining, he put on an old face in an instant, and the words almost pointed at his nose and said: " Just you? Except for refining medicine, don’t use it to mislead the children of the Xiao family!”

Oh shit!This old guy is really realistic, why is he the one who is in this hall these days?
"Oh, by the way, the old man just forgot to ask, Mr. Liu Xi, who is the person you want to accept as an apprentice, which junior of our Xiao family?" It seemed that his mouth was dry after talking on the phone just now, and he picked up the cup on the table , took a sip and said.

Seeing this, Liu Xi's lower eyelids twitched imperceptibly a few times, and then said:

"It's the little maid that your family arranged for me, Xiao Yue."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the third elder stood up with a "boom", opened his old eyes slightly, and said:

"What did you say? Arranged to serve your maid, surnamed Xiao?"

Hearing this, Liu Xi took a good look at the third elder's appearance at the moment, then nodded his head in affirmation on the surface, but complained repeatedly in his heart.

Damn, I was so surprised by this, those who didn't know thought I was asleep and your granddaughter was there!
Bang!
After seeing Liu Xi's affirmative nod, the third elder's face turned red, and he laid his palms heavily on the table, making a muffled sound.

But fortunately, it doesn't use fighting spirit, otherwise the table would probably fall apart immediately.

"The members of my Xiao family, no matter whether they are direct descendants or collateral descendants, how can they be reduced to the point of serving others! Which bastard arranged this matter! It's unreasonable, I am so angry!!!" The third elder trembled all over with anger road.

But upon hearing this, Liu Xi's heart skipped a beat suddenly. He secretly looked at the third elder at the moment, and thought to himself, does this old guy know something about the past "brilliant history" of the Xiao family?
"Come on! Find out the person who arranged this! This old man can't spare him!!!"

After roaring and ordering, the third elder's anger subsided a bit, and he vaguely felt that the name "Xiao Yue" had some impressions!

After a little recollection, he quickly recalled some past events. At this time, he gradually understood why someone not only gave Xiao Yue little shoes to wear, but also targeted them so outrageously.

After calming down, he looked deeply at Liu Xi and said:
"Mr. Liu Xi, I just made you laugh."
