Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Striking Up A Conversation (1)

Chu Qing was indeed injured, but not seriously. But in order to reflect the tragedy he spoke of, he deliberately slapped himself on the chest before entering the Alchemy Pavilion.

Qin Tianshu, who had never had any doubts about Chu Qing, believed it without hesitation.

When Chu Qing woke up again, it was already two days later.

He put on his clothes, got out of bed, and left the room. As soon as he went out, he saw two boys squatting on the ground to pick up herbs. As soon as they saw Chu Qing, they quickly stood up, bowed to Chu Qing, and said, “The distinguished guest is awake?”

After Chu Qing gave a “hmm,” he asked, “Where is Old Qin? Take me to see him.”

A boy said respectfully, “The master is in the front hall, and the distinguished guest will be able to see him when they pass by.”

After Chu Qing said “hmm” again, he went straight to the front hall.

When they arrived at the front hall, Chu Qing saw Qin Tianshu as expected. It’s just that Qin Tianshu at this time is losing his temper at his three direct disciples.

“It’s just a mere Meridian Opening Pill. After refining three furnaces, you actually destroyed two furnaces! How on earth did you guys refine it? Just with you, you want to compete with Jia Chan? I, Qin Tianshu, accepted three trashes, I really will be pissed off to death by you!”

Facing Qin Tianshu’s anger, the three disciples did not dare to raise their heads, allowing Qin Tianshu’s saliva to fly and land on their heads.

After cursing for a while, Qin Tianshu took a sip of tea out of breath.

He opened his mouth and was about to continue cursing, but he saw Chu Qing coming out with a glance, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, “Little friend Chu, you came just in time. My three useless disciples can’t even make a Meridian Opening Pill well. You come to refine one and show them, so that they can learn a lot!”

The reason why Chu Qing’s pill refining technique is superb is derived from the ancient pill refining secret manual obtained by coincidence. This secret book records many long-lost pill-refining methods, and it is precisely because of these pill-refining methods that Chu Qing was able to gain Qin Tianshu’s appreciation.

However, when Chu Qing revealed pill-refining techniques in front of Qin Tianshu, what he said was that those pill-refining techniques all came from his own research.

Among the masters of alchemy, those who can innovate and figure out new pill-refining methods are all geniuses who are one in a million.

Regarding Qin Tianshu’s request, Chu Qing just smiled lightly and said, “Why is Old Qin so impatient? The path of alchemy also needs to be done step by step. It is not unusual for ordinary people to be unable to find the trick to it. But since Old Qin requested, then I will show my hand for the three senior brothers.”

After speaking, Chu Qing began to choose the required medicinal materials from the pharmacy on his own.

After Chu Qing selected the medicinal materials, Qin Tianshu dragged Chu Qing straight to the pill refining room, and shouted at his three apprentices while walking, “Why are you standing still? Why don’t you hurry up!” 𝙧

The three disciples hurriedly followed after hearing his words.

After arriving at the pill refining room, Chu Qing began to carry out pill refining according to the method of pill refining recorded in ancient books.

He was refining the pills in silence, while Qin Tianshu was amazed at Chu Qing’s novel pill refining method, was filled with emotion, and exclaimed from time to time, as if he had never seen the world.

Hearing Qin Tianshu’s praise, Chu Qing was very pleased. He sneaked a glance at Qin Tianshu’s three disciples, and he saw that the three looked blank, as if they didn’t understand Chu Qing’s technique at all.

Chu Qing couldn’t help but laugh secretly. Of course they can’t understand such esoteric pill-refining techniques when even Qin Tianshu originally didn’t know of them.

But Chu Qing didn’t intend to explain to the three of them. Anyway, he was not their master, whether they understand or not, what does it have to do with him?

After about half an hour, a furnace of pills was refined.

Chu Qing opened the furnace to take the pills, and obtained seven Meridian Opening Pills in total, including two top-grade pills and five high-grade pills.

Qin Tianshu and the others were all shocked when they saw the efficiency of Chu Qing’s alchemy.

After a while, Qin Tianshu said with emotion, “Sure enough, the skill of pill refining is still the most important talent. It’s really amazing that little friend Chu can have such accomplishments at such a young age. Given time, little friend Chu’s skill in pill refining technique will probably be even better than this old man.”

Chu Qing said modestly, “Old Qin is overpraising me. Old Qin is a great expert in pill refining. I’m already ashamed to even be compared with Old Qin. How can I dare to talk about surpassing Old Qin?”

While the two were flattering each other, the three disciples were looking at each other, and at the same time showing blank expressions.

Qin Tianshu never paid much attention to teaching his disciples, he only taught them the techniques of pill refining, but did not teach them the principle of pill refining, so they only knew how to do it but didn’t know why.

In fact, this problem is not unique to Qin Tianshu, but is common in the entire alchemy path.

Everyone has their own pill refining experience, but this pill refining experience is not easy to show others.

The so-called “one’s peers are one’s enemies,” it is not uncommon for the disciples who managed to surpass their masters to starve their masters to death in the past.

In order to prevent their disciples from robbing themselves of business in the future, almost every master alchemist will hold back and not teach all their skills to their disciples.

The reason why the path of alchemy is gradually declining, and the next generation is not as good as the previous generation, is due to this.

And this is actually the reason why Qin Tianshu always believes that talent is the most critical factor for achieving great success in the path of alchemy.

Only the most talented cultivator can see the essence of alchemy even through the appearance of alchemy alone, and then carry out new development and research based on the understanding of the essence of alchemy.

Although Chu Qing was young, he already knew such truth, so he would not confide in Qin Tianshu, let alone explain in detail to Qin Tianshu’s three disciples. Being able to show them his own pill refining is already regarded as a special favor from him.
