As a result, it is possible to achieve success.

The fire is burning...

It's ridiculous. I had planned to finish coding this chapter at 8:30, but... emmm, I fell asleep when my eyes went dark while coding...

Chapter 68 The common ground that brings us closer—

In the Pharmacist Workshop, in front of the door of Alchemy Room No. 17, the special spirit stone used for timing has turned from green to red, and it is obvious that the five-hour deadline has expired.

When the spirit stone turns red, the spirit gathering array, soundproofing array, or fire-starting array in the alchemy room will automatically close, forcibly terminating the alchemy operation.

Generally speaking, alchemists will have a relatively accurate estimate of the time it will take to make their own elixirs, and thus choose the appropriate time to rent an alchemy room.

But there are special circumstances, such as multiple failures, or the inability to stop, which may make the estimated time longer.

In order to solve this problem, a spirit-absorbing array is set up in the corner of the alchemy room. As long as you put the corresponding spirit stone on it, the duration can be automatically extended, which is very user-friendly.

However, at this time, the guest in Room 17 had not come out by the time and had not renewed his room.

Even according to the rules, Pharmacist Shop would give customers an extra half an hour to "clean up and tidy up" after the deadline, but by then the half-hour deadline had already passed!

The waiter paced back and forth in front of the door, with a hint of hesitation on his face. After thinking for a while, he knocked on the door.

"Da! Da! Guest number seventeen, guest number seventeen?

Are you here, guest number 17? It's time for number 17, and the alchemy furnace can no longer operate normally. Hello?"

"..."

There was no response… He couldn’t have fallen asleep in there, or did guest number seventeen make a huge mistake while refining the elixir and the furnace exploded and he died?

A question mark popped up above the waiter's head. After thinking for a while, he took out the waiter's special token, opened the door, looked inside the room, and his pupils suddenly shrank!

"The person is missing? Disappeared!"

The waiter was shocked. He saw that there were still a lot of herbs in the house that had not been used up, but the people inside were...

The waiter's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a collision sound. He blinked, walked to the alchemy furnace, and looked inside from the eye of the wind... just in time to meet a pair of innocent big eyes!

"Help, help, help, help...Help!"

Hei Yang was so moved that he almost cried, as if he had seen a savior: "Why did you come just now?"

waiter:"……"

After checking his eyes, he was the person he was looking for.

But guest number seventeen seems to be seriously ill...

He reached out to open the lid of the alchemy furnace, and Heiyang jumped out from inside. He spat out the medicine ash in his mouth with a dusty face: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you almost suffocated me!"

"Uh……"

The waiter checked carefully and found that Guest No. 17 was still able to communicate normally with humans. He was a creature with medium to high intelligence and would not suddenly rush up to bite him.

After confirming this, the waiter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but still kept his distance and carefully handed over a towel: "Well, I think you might need this."

"Ah, thank you!"

Heiyang quickly took the towel, turned his spiritual power into water to wet it, and wiped his dark face clean again.

Fortunately, he had spiritual power to protect himself and did not get his eyebrows, hair or clothes burned. Otherwise, he would have been bald and too embarrassed to see anyone!

The waiter was shocked when he saw Heiyang condense a ball of water with his hand.

This guest with strange behavior turned out to be a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who had already entered the Tao!

After discovering this, the waiter's already respectful expression became even more humble.

In Qiankun Country, the identity of a cultivator itself represents status, and even the managers of the Pharmacist Workshop must treat them with courtesy.

As a waiter who was only in the Body Tempering Realm, he naturally did not dare to be disrespectful to this seemingly young immortal.

Moreover, since the other party is an immortal, then what he does must have a deep meaning!

It seemed that the other party had locked himself in the alchemy furnace, but in fact...

The waiter's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head in fear and trepidation: "Sir, is it that we have made you unhappy in some way, so you are protesting against us by discrediting yourself in this way?

If so, please tell us what you are dissatisfied with and we will make reasonable improvements to ensure a more humane service quality! "

"Ah, no, no, this place is quite nice and user-friendly."

Heiyang waved his hand quickly and handed the towel back: "It's just that one thing..."

"A little what?!"

The waiter asked anxiously, "Just tell me, don't worry..."

"Why can't the lid of this alchemy furnace be opened from the inside?"

Hei Yang couldn't help but complain: "How come it automatically locked from the outside as soon as it was closed?"

"Ah this..."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and a professional expression appeared on his face: "You have asked the right person. Please see, the alchemy furnace here is not as good as those magic tools, treasure tools, or even spiritual tools.

But we strive to achieve perfection in details. Look at this lock, which we asked a professional mechanism master to design. The moment it is closed, the cover and furnace can be integrated!

In this way, only the alchemist himself can open the lid from the outside, and it is extremely difficult for the medicinal power inside to rush out. In this way, the utilization of medicinal materials, the circulation of wind power, and the formation are guaranteed..."

"Okay, stop, stop, stop. I roughly understand what's going on. I also know that you are very professional and knowledgeable."

Heiyang looked at the waiter's proud look and couldn't help twitching his mouth: "Well, it's immoral to build your own happiness on the pain of others, so please don't say it anymore."

"Ah this..."

The waiter suddenly reacted, and a look of horror appeared on his face again: "I'm very sorry, because this is a must-have, it has a conditioned reaction, so...

I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect you to jump in!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect this to happen."

Heiyang showed his dead eyes: "I actually locked myself in there. I must look like a fool now, right?"

"No, no, Master Monk, how could you be a fool? This must be some misunderstanding!"

The waiter hurriedly explained, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but whispered: "In fact, with your great magical powers, Master Monk, you can definitely break the alchemy furnace by force and escape from it!"

"Ah, you think I haven't thought about it?"

Heiyang pointed at the alchemy furnace and said calmly, "But when I think about the amount of compensation I might have to pay, I dare not move!"

"Ah this..."

Faced with this unexpected yet reasonable answer, the waiter suddenly felt that the distance between himself and the high and mighty monk had suddenly shortened!

Because they have one thing in common, that is, they are poor!

What's going on with this feeling of pride and sadness...

"Forget it."

Heiyang sighed, looked at the waiter, and couldn't help asking, "Five hours, it should have been over long ago, why did you come now!

Tell me, are you slacking off at work?!"

"Ah, well, it's like this. We leave half an hour for each customer..."

The waiter explained with beads of sweat on his forehead, "So, not only do you need to pay the five low-grade spirit stones you have already paid, but you also need to pay for this half hour..."

"Ah, half a low-grade spirit stone, right..."

Heiyang sighed, took out a low-grade spirit stone, and thought about where to split it in half...

"Well, just give it all to me."

The waiter whispered, "No need to separate them."

"what?"

Hei Yang glared at him: "You want a kickback?!"

"Ah, no, no, it's like this..."

The waiter quickly explained, "Because the time exceeded is charged at double the rate, this is written in the regulations we posted, it is definitely not me who raised the price privately!"

"..."

Heiyang blinked his eyes, with a subtle expression: "So, I spent an extra spirit stone not for refining the elixir, but to let myself experience the life of the elixir furnace for half an hour longer? Am I sick?!"

"Ah this..."

The waiter whispered in defense: "Well, we didn't stuff you in there..."

Hei Yang: "..."

"That makes sense. It's my problem."

Heiyang showed a sad face, and handed over the spirit stone in his hand along with three more spirit stones: "Here, overtime fee, and I'll extend it for another three hours. Some pills have not been processed yet..."

"Oh, OK, I'll register you right away!"

The waiter completed the registration quickly, and the light in front of the alchemy room door turned from red to green again.

"Well, I won't waste your time. You are busy!"

The waiter quickly stepped out: "You can call me anytime if you need anything!"

"Ah, I see. You can get busy too."

"Well, don't jump in again. Of course, I'm just suggesting it. If you like..."

"Climb! You're the one who likes it!"

Hei Yang squeezed out these words viciously from between his teeth: "Get out now, or I'm afraid I won't be able to help but kill you!"

waiter:"!"

Chapter 69: The classic villain who occasionally emits an incomprehensible smile while secretly plotting his scheme in a small dark room

"call---"

After closing the door of the alchemy room tightly again, Heiyang looked at the alchemy furnace and herbs expressionlessly. He also needed to refine some Qi-nourishing Pills, yellow-grade pills of white quality.

To put it simply, it is a small experience pill, but the experience bar can only be added after the medicinal power has been fully digested, so there is no need to elaborate on this point.

It didn't matter to Heiyang whether he used the Qi-nourishing Pill that he was about to refine or not; he mainly wanted to sell it.

An ordinary Qi-nourishing Pill on the market costs five low-grade spirit stones each, but the cost is just some medicinal herbs that can be bought with gold and silver in the mortal world. It’s a huge profit!

In this regard, Heiyang could only sigh that as long as you have technology, you will never starve anywhere. The imbalance between supply and demand in the market is terrible. Fortunately, he is a beneficiary!

There is no need to worry about alchemy, Heiyang can still guarantee it in this regard, but the subsequent sales issue will require some thought.

There are probably two ways. One is to sell it through the Hei family's previous connections, but Heiyang still has doubts about the Hei family's connections.

Another way is also very simple. Just sell it to the pharmacist shop here at the official recycling price. It’s just that the price is slightly lower than the market price, but it is safer and more convenient.

And ignoring the evil furnace cover design, Heiyang felt that the service attitude at the Pharmacist Workshop was indeed very good and very humane!

In addition, I heard that the Medicine King Sect is backing the Pharmacist Workshop, and the famous sects probably won't play any tricks on it. It is a green and safe recycling organization.

"But then again..."

Heiyang muttered quietly, "If Hongli knew that I locked myself in the furnace and couldn't get out, she would laugh at me until this time next year!

Therefore, absolutely, absolutely, she must not be allowed to know about this!

But fortunately, I took the initiative to scold her and called her stupid, which disrupted her rhythm. Otherwise, she would definitely be forced to ask how she managed to upgrade continuously!

Haha, I am Heiyang as expected, so smart!"

……

In the magnificent house, a sandalwood table was filled with various seafood and mountain delicacies, and two people were sitting opposite each other.

One of them was a middle-aged man with an imposing manner and handsome appearance, and his every move was filled with the aura of a superior.

The other one was a fat man with a rat-like face. He was wearing a funny and thick robe and had a defiant expression on his face.

But when these two people with completely different temperaments sat together, the fat man was faintly in the lead. If seen by others, they would probably scream out in surprise.
