"I've lost!"
Zhang Xianwen's tone seemed to have aged a few decades in an instant. These three words seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. Spitting out these three words made him feel as if he had suddenly lost something important.
Alchemy?
That's right, could it be that he really could not refine pills in the future?
Zhang Xianwen felt so sad that he wanted to die. Alchemy was not just a job for Zhang Xianwen, it was also the path that he had been pursuing for his entire life. If he really could not refine pills in the future, it would really cost him his life. However, it was hard to take back what was spilled. He had already made a bet with Qin Lang earlier, and it was in front of so many people in the pugilistic world. He did not even have the chance to go back on his word. If Qin Lang had refined a high-grade panacea, perhaps Zhang Xianwen could still compete with him. However, now that Qin Lang had refined a peerless panacea, he did not even have the qualifications to compete with him.
Just as Zhang Xianwen's heart seemed to have died, Qin Lang said in a clear voice, "Everyone, this bet is between me and Grandmaster Zhang, right? So, how to marry this wager should be my business. "
Hearing Qin Lang's words, everyone quietened down. This was because Qin Lang's prestige had already been established. He was already fully deserving of the title of Grandmaster Alchemist. Towards a Grandmaster Alchemist, who would not want to curry favor with him? So, when Qin Lang spoke, these people immediately quietened down.
"Mr Qin, how do you want to deal with this?" Zhang Xianwen's face was ashen. At this time, he could only let Qin Lang deal with him.
"Deal with it? That's a little too serious. Our wager is not a bet with our lives. "Qin Lang said.
"Alchemy is my life." Zhang Xianwen sighed.
"Since alchemy is your life, I will not take your life. How about this, you will refine pills for me for ten years, and this will be considered as fulfilling the bet. "Qin Lang proposed a compromise.
"Qin Lang! You are going too far! " Someone else, Qin Lang, shouted, "No matter what, Master Zhang is still a Pill Master of the Medicine Sect. How could he serve you, Poisons!"
Needless to say, this person must be from the Medicine Sect or one of them. Naturally, he could not watch as Zhang Xianwen was controlled by Qin Lang and serve the Poisons from then on.
"I'm asking for Mr. Zhang's opinion. What does it have to do with you?" Qin Lang sneered.
Sure enough, that person still wanted to refute, but he was immediately scolded by the crowd. This was indeed a matter between Zhang Xianwen and Qin Lang. Since Zhang Xianwen himself had not answered, it was not the right of others to interfere.
Zhang Xianwen thought for a moment and said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for being lenient. I'm willing to accept your offer and refine pills for you for ten years."
"In these ten years, if you refine pills diligently, you should be able to comprehend the mysteries of refining peerless spirit pills." Since the other party had agreed to his terms, Qin Lang naturally had to promise some benefits.
Ten years of refining pills in exchange for the bet and the mysteries of refining peerless spirit pills. If Zhang Xianwen still did not know what was good for him, he would be too stupid.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Zhang Xianwen bowed to Qin Lang, almost shedding tears of gratitude.
To Zhang Xianwen, refining pills was the same no matter where he was. There was not much difference between refining pills for the Medicine Sect and refining pills for Qin Lang. However, Qin Lang had promised to teach him the mysteries of refining peerless spirit pills. This was a great reward. If Zhang Xianwen were to refine pills on his own, he might not be able to comprehend the method of refining peerless spirit pills even if he were to refine pills for another ten years.
At this point, Qin Lang's trip could be considered to be a success.
Next, the Qingcheng Sect, in order to express their gratitude to their fellow Jianghu members who had come from afar to support them, decided to auction off three of the Nine Yang Pills refined by Qin Lang. However, the process of the auction was very complicated. Because they were peerless spirit pills, they were not auctioned off for money, but for the various ingredients used to refine the pills. Whoever provided the most valuable ingredients would be able to obtain a Nine Yang Pill.
As for the specific process, Qin Lang did not participate in it and directly left it to the Qingcheng Sect.
Qin Lang invited Zhang Xianwen to a quiet room and said, "Mr. Zhang, if you agree to a bet, you must be willing to accept your loss. I hope that you can fulfill your promise. However, since we're both pill masters, I won't mistreat you. When the time comes, I'll share some pill formulas and pill refining experiences with you. I hope that we can have a good exchange in the future. "
Qin Lang spoke with great sincerity. Even though Zhang Xianwen had been defeated by Qin Lang, he was not completely useless. After all, pill masters were still very popular in the Jianghu. Qin Lang's' headhunting 'of Zhang Xianwen could be considered as a vicious revenge against the Medicine Sect.
Even in the Medicine Sect, pill masters like Zhang Xianwen were few and far between.
Since Qin Lang has already received Zhang Xianwen's promise to serve him for ten years, there was naturally no need for him to be calculative with him.
Qin Lang's magnanimity had won Zhang Xianwen's gratitude. The man sighed with emotion, "Thank you very much for your magnanimity, Sir Qin. Actually, you should know that I'm here to mess things up today. If I had won today, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have the magnanimity to treat you like this. What's more, Mister Qin has given me very generous treatment. Ten years of alchemy. To me, it doesn't matter where I do alchemy or who I do it for. Mister Qin being willing to impart alchemy experience to me is simply a great opportunity for me. If I still don't know what's good for me, then I'd be worse than a beast! Mr. Qin, don't worry, it's only ten years of pill refining. To me, this isn't much of a punishment. Instead, it's a great opportunity. "
"If you can think like this, then you'll definitely become a true pill refining master in the future ~!" Qin Lang praised him, but he was also a little happy inside. Nowadays, the demand for pills in the pugilistic world was growing larger and larger. Most importantly, the Poisons and Dragon Snake troops also needed large amounts of pills. It was impossible for Qin Lang to personally refine every pill, but the Poisons did not have any other pill refiners. Thus, being able to subdue Zhang Xianwen's dream of becoming a pill refiner was a good thing for both Qin Lang and the Poisons.
From a certain perspective, this could be considered a mutually beneficial situation.
The most important point was that it could also cause a substantial blow to the Herbal Sect, because the Herbal Sect was most famous for refining spiritual medicines and pills. Now that the Herbal Sect had lost this battle, not only did it push Qin Lang's reputation to a higher level, but they also lost an alchemist. It could be said that they had suffered a double loss.
More importantly, now that Zhang Xianwen himself was willing to stay here and refine pills for Qin Lang for ten years, even if Qin Lang did not send people to monitor him, he would not run away.
"In that case, Mr. Zhang should stay in the Qingcheng Sect in the future. The scenery here is not bad, and the spiritual energy is also not bad. It's more suitable for pill refining." Qin Lang decided to keep Zhang Xianwen in the Qingcheng Sect. Whenever the Qingcheng Sect received a pill refining task for hire, they could hand it over to Zhang Xianwen to refine first. If Zhang Xianwen could not solve it, then they would hand it over to Qin Lang. This would also save Qin Lang a lot of time, and the matter of collecting pill refining materials would not be delayed.
"Yes." Zhang Xianwen nodded in response, then asked Qin Lang, "Mr. Qin, are you not going to stay here?"
