If he succeeded once, then the other set of herbs would be his. If he failed twice, then sorry, he would have to pay out of his own pocket to complete the mission.
If he completed the mission every month, then there would be another reward.
In this month, Xiao Yang had not refined even a single pill for the clan, so he had to hurry up. He still needed time to cultivate. His goal was not to refine pills, but to refine pills to assist his cultivation.
When he arrived at the mountain where he belonged, he saw Xiao Dalei with a bruised nose and swollen face.
This stunned Xiao Yang. He used his movement technique and instantly arrived in front of Xiao Dalei. He frowned and asked, "Dalei, what happened?"
Xiao Dalei raised his head and saw that it was Xiao Yang. He was overjoyed. He thought that Xiao Yang had abandoned him and left alone.
"Brother Xiao Yang, you're back? It's good to see you. It's fine. I accidentally injured myself while cultivating. "
Xiao Dalei lied. When he lied, his eyes were closed.
He was afraid that Xiao Yang would cause trouble.
They had just entered the alchemist class, so they definitely could not cause trouble. If they provoked someone they should not provoke, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yang slapped him on the head and scolded, "Do I look like someone who's afraid of trouble? I'm afraid that the days will be boring. "
Under Xiao Yang's gaze, Xiao Dalei could only confess honestly, "There was an alchemist who challenged me. In the end, he didn't see anyone, so he vented his anger on me."
Xiao Yang could not help but be stunned. He asked, "There are challenges between alchemists? What are the benefits? "
Xiao Yang, who had always taken shortcuts, also liked to take this path.
For example, some alchemists are too lazy to refine pills, so they will challenge other alchemists. If they succeed, they will be able to obtain the other party's pills, and this way, they will be able to complete their task. If they fail, then they will have to pay with pills or medicinal ingredients, or other items of equal value. "Xiao Dalei explained." Alchemists can freely challenge each other, and the stakes are usually pills, for example, some alchemists are too lazy to refine pills, so they will challenge other alchemists.
Xiao Yang immediately felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
He still felt bored refining thirty mid-grade pills for the family every month. It was equivalent to refining one pill a day. He was a person who liked to cherish time to cultivate, so how could he spend it on alchemy?
Now that there was a challenge, things were much better.
The closer it was to the completion of the mission, the more challenges there would be.
This was common knowledge.
"Let's go. Let's see which bastard dares to bully you. I'll avenge you."
Xiao Yang looked like he was not afraid of trouble as he pulled Xiao Dalei along.
In reality, he wanted to defeat the other party, and then win the other party's medicinal pills to complete his task.
The other party had come to challenge him for the same reason.
Xiao Dalei did not know what Xiao Yang was thinking. He thought that Xiao Yang was really venting his anger for him. This made him extremely touched and he almost cried.
He was really afraid that Xiao Yang would offend someone he shouldn't offend. If that happened, he would be causing trouble for Xiao Yang. As an apprentice follower, of course he didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Yang.
However, now that Xiao Yang was pulling him along, he could only helplessly walk away when he saw how high-spirited Xiao Yang was.
Soon, they arrived at another mountain. It turned out that they were neighbors.
"Oh, isn't this the newly promoted alchemist Xiao Yang? I was just about to look for you. You came at the right time. Come, come, come. Cut the crap and challenge me. "
The alchemist Xiao Chenggong, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, shouted at Xiao Yang who was walking over.
They had been alchemists for a long time. Usually, they would choose to challenge alchemists who were weaker than them. This way, they could easily complete the family's mission.
It was also because of this competition that their alchemy skills could continuously improve and improve.
Xiao Chenggong saw that Xiao Yang was new and felt that he was easy to bully, so he went to look for him.
He was a middle-grade alchemist, so the pills in his hands could naturally be completed. However, no one would dislike having too many pills. At most, he could leave them for next month.
"Alright! You first. "
Xiao Yang agreed and let the other party refine pills first.
"Follow me."
Xiao Chenggong was also very straightforward. He led Xiao Yang and Xiao Dalei into his cave and went straight to the alchemy room.
Challenges often happened. After being here for a long time, it had become a habit.
In his opinion, Xiao Yang was definitely here to deliver pills to him. Of course, he would accept it with a smile.
After entering the alchemy room, he began to refine pills.
He was refining a middle-grade pill. From selecting the medicinal ingredients, to controlling the flames, to refining the medicinal ingredients and condensing them into pills, his control was astonishing.
He had refined this middle-grade pill at least ninety times, if not a hundred. Of course, he was very familiar with it, as if he had mastered it to the point of perfection.
After waiting for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the pill was out of the furnace.
He proudly picked up the pill and walked in front of Xiao Yang. With a smug expression, he said, "Xiao Yang, you will definitely lose this time. You can choose anyone else, but you chose me. Haha …"
"Go ahead. Oh right, the bet is 30 mid-grade pills."
Xiao Chenggong was very pleased with himself, as if he was certain that he had Xiao Yang under control.
"Hey, aren't you being too shameless? Why didn't you mention it before you refined it?" Xiao Dalei felt that it was unfair for Xiao Yang.
Xiao Chenggong said indifferently, "This is the difference between a veteran and a newbie. After you suffer so much, you will become veterans in the future."
He had been like this before, so he naturally treated newbies like this now.
Seeing that Xiao Dalei was about to flare up, Xiao Yang smiled and stopped him. Then, he began to refine pills with the furnace.
The process of refining pills was similar. Selecting the medicinal ingredients, controlling the flames to burn the furnace, and then putting in the medicinal ingredients in a certain order to gradually refine them. As for the proportion of each medicinal ingredient, every alchemist had to be clear. Otherwise, if the proportion was messed up, the furnace would explode.
When the essence of the medicinal ingredients had been extracted, they would slowly condense into pills according to the corresponding proportion.
During this process, the flame could not be stopped. As for the size of the flame, it needed to be controlled throughout the entire process. Sometimes, it needed a fierce flame, and sometimes, it needed a weak flame. If it was not controlled properly, it would cause the refinement to fail.
Xiao Chenggong did not leave the alchemy room. He crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Yang calmly.
He wanted to see how Xiao Yang would turn defeat into victory. If the other party failed, then he would have won these thirty middle-grade pills for nothing. Just thinking about it made him excited.
It was just that when he saw Xiao Yang's alchemy technique, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Then, he looked at Xiao Yang's ability to control fire, which was even better than his own. His original 100% confidence in winning was immediately shaken.
