As long as one joined the True Martial Pavilion, even if it was just a beginner alchemist, it was still a rare honor. In this day and age, it was important to have more skills, not only for ordinary people, but also for martial artists.
Of course, regardless of whether it was alchemy or martial arts, there were considerable challenges. Many talented cultivators would embark on the path of martial arts from a young age. Decades of accumulation were like one day, yet they could still enjoy it.
I simply didn't have the energy to study other things, and the method of alchemy required a lot of time. Back then, Curator Du had repeatedly advised me to take advantage of my youth to improve my martial arts. When I was free in the future, I would then study the method of alchemy. He had considered this problem.
Guan Ruolan didn't expect me to have any accomplishments in alchemy, and only told me to seize this opportunity and enter the True Martial Pavilion.
"Hehe, no need, I'm not interested in the True Martial Pavilion." I shrugged and said lightly.
Originally, I planned to get the prize that belonged to me, bid for the medicinal ingredients, and then return to Nan Yun. If I really entered the True Martial Pavilion, I was afraid that the day of returning home would be far away. I had promised my wife and the others.
"Huh." Hearing this, the people in the room were all stunned, as if they thought they had heard wrong.
You know, how many people had racked their brains to become one of them, but I had casually said that I wasn't interested …
At this moment, Chen Haonan coldly snorted and said disdainfully, "Hypocrite!"
"Whatever you say." I shrugged.
"Yo, kid, come, come, repeat what you just said, I'll be convinced!" Chen Haonan took out his phone, pointed it at me, and recorded a small video.
"I'm not interested in the True Martial Pavilion, okay?" I was still sloppy.
Chen Haonan was a bit surprised, but he was more proud, and directly let go. This small video was sent to the True Martial Pavilion's internal WeChat group, and soon it exploded.
There were all kinds of comments, and most of them were directed at me, saying that I was an ignorant kid who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and so on.
"Alright, alright, you brat are awesome. I admire your ignorance," Chen Haonan said with a mischievous smile as he silently mocked me.
"Let's talk about the matter as it stands. If these pills are evaluated according to a hundred points, they would only be worth fifty points at most," I didn't want to go too far with him, so I said after a slight hesitation.
"What?"
Huang Yaoshi's face slightly twitched as he snappily said, "Are you kidding me? These pills are my masterpiece that I'm proud of. How come in your eyes, they are only worth 50 points?
Even if you're trying to look impressive by slapping yourself at your own cost, that's not how you do it, right? "
"Hey, don't be so agitated. Listen to me first. First of all, these are pills for the elderly. You have to consider the decline of their physique. The Blood Lotus Flower and Pennisetum can't be used. They may have a certain healing effect in the early stages, but it's easy to leave behind hidden dangers. Once the elderly's body can't take it, it's very likely that it'll backfire. It's better to use the Purple Leaf Orchid instead!" I said unhurriedly.
After listening to me, I added, "Secondly, you didn't put much effort and effort into this pill, so the quality of the pill is poor. This can't be blamed on you, but during the refining process, you must have made a small mistake. You didn't strictly control the proportion of the Black Tongue Orchid. If you continuously take it, your liver will definitely overheat. For the elderly, this isn't a good thing, right?"
Although my words were vague, they immediately understood. Each and every one of them had a strange expression on their faces. Even if they were amateurs, they felt that what I said was reasonable and logical, and couldn't find any fault with it.
On the other hand, Huang Yaoshi, who had been arrogant and despotic a moment ago, was now speechless.
"Your suggestion does make some sense, but the feasibility of it still needs to be tested. As for the excessive ratio of the Black Tongue Orchid, it's definitely not my fault. You probably don't know this, but as long as you become a first-ranked alchemist, you will be assigned two specialized alchemy boys. There's definitely no problem with the ratio I gave. Most likely, they were careless and made a mistake, but it's not easy for you to see through it." At this point, Huang Yaoshi couldn't continue to distort the truth.
"Oh, so you're saying that you should eat the bottle. Do you want it steamed or fried? Or do you want me to help you break it and drink it with some water?" I said lightly. Huang Yaoshi's complexion turned green.
Huang Yaoshi's complexion turned green. He obviously didn't expect that I would care about the previous bet. This was embarrassing. If he had known that I would be so serious, he would have refused to admit it and insisted that I was talking nonsense. However, this method was not advisable. If he were to find someone who was knowledgeable and appraise it, he would lose face. So, he simply gave a vague answer and pushed the blame to the alchemist boy.
"Little brother, don't be too serious." Before Huang Yaoshi could open his mouth, Chen Haonan couldn't help but remind him.
"That's right. I feel that your knowledge is quite comprehensive. Your future is boundless. As a greenhorn, you should know your place." Huang Yaoshi hastily added.
"Ai, you're a man. Is it fun to go back on your words?
Do you really want me to make this matter public? "I said while shaking my head. Huang Yaoshi's face turned red.
He didn't expect that my attitude would be so unyielding. After a short moment of hesitation, he sighed and said, "Little brother, how about this? I'll follow your suggestion and refine it. When I have the finished product, then I'll give it to Elder Peng. After all, you're doing this for his own good. Of course, if the effect is good, then your contribution will not go unnoticed. I'll give you half of the shares. Consider it as making a friend.
How about this? "According to the 5% that Elder Peng had promised, it would be a full 30%. If he gave half of it, then it would be 15%. This would be a source of income of several hundred million every year. Moreover, he wouldn't be able to do anything other than wait for his share. Where else could he find such a good thing?
