"Elder Wu?" Su Wenxuan was slightly surprised, "Are you the master of the Alchemy Hall?"
"it's him."
Within the Hongming Martial Arts Academy, there are also different departments, such as the Alchemy Hall, the Equipment Hall, the Trial Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, etc.
Elder Wu's name is Wu Bingzhang. He is the master of the alchemy hall. He is an alchemist who surpasses the first level. His own strength also surpasses the ninth level. He is one of the most powerful elders in the martial arts academy.
Among the elders in the martial arts academy, some are powerful and some don't care about anything. Su Wenxuan's master Chu Yingmei is the type who doesn't care about anything and has no power at all.
However, this does not mean that Chu Yingmei's status is lower than Wu Bingzhang.
Power is only one aspect, your own strength is the most important.
Following Zhang Shen, he quickly arrived at the Alchemy Hall. Su Wenxuan met Elder Wu Bingzhang, the master of the Alchemy Hall, an old man with a rosy face.
"I didn't expect that there would be a genius in alchemy in our martial arts academy."
Wu Bingzhang looked at Su Wenxuan with satisfaction. At such a young age, he had reached the level of a mid-level alchemist, even more powerful than he was back then.
Before Su Wenxuan could speak, Wu Bingzhang said: "Su Wenxuan, you will join the Alchemy Hall in the future, do you have any objection?"
"It all depends on the arrangements of the elders."
Su Wenxuan naturally had no objection.
Nodding, Wu Bingzhang continued: "You don't have to worry about the Alchemy Hall squeezing you. Our treatment at the Alchemy Hall is definitely first-class among the martial arts schools. From now on, you will enjoy the third-level treatment at the Alchemy Hall."
Zhang Shen next to him was shocked. The third-level treatment was equivalent to the treatment of a top-grade alchemist in the Gu family.
He, Zhang Shen, had been practicing alchemy for many years before he got the third-level treatment. Su Wenxuan just joined the alchemy hall and started with the third-level treatment.
Geniuses and ordinary people are indeed different.
Su Wenxuan quickly thanked him.
"Well... Now that we've finished talking about official matters, let's talk about some personal matters."
Wu Bingzhang looked at Su Wenxuan and asked seriously: "Su Wenxuan, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
coming!
Su Wenxuan was not surprised by Wu Bingzhang's words.
It is normal and reasonable to accept talents as disciples and train them.
However, Su Wenxuan did not agree directly. After all, Zhang Shen was still beside him. Zhang Shen was his alchemy master, not a martial arts master like Chu Yingmei, so he could not agree directly.
If you act too eagerly, you will make others feel that you are out of touch with others.
Even if others take a disciple of a person with such questionable character, they will not make an effort to train him, lest he be criticized in the future.
Seeing that Su Wenxuan did not agree directly, Wu Bingzhang was not only not unhappy, but secretly nodded in his heart.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing profit and gaining strength, but you cannot completely ignore your feelings because of this.
Seeing that Su Wenxuan was still silent, Zhang Shen became anxious. He was afraid that Su Wenxuan's hesitation would make Wu Bingzhang unhappy, "Su Wenxuan, please agree quickly."
"Master, I am your disciple."
Su Wenxuan said.
Zhang Shen shouted: "I am far inferior to Elder Wu when it comes to alchemy. There is not much I can teach you. Only by becoming your disciple can you unleash your greatest potential, and I won't mind."
"Then...I agree?"
"Hurry up and agree!"
Wu Bingzhang watched the conversation between the two until Su Wenxuan agreed, and he felt a little relieved.
He really wanted to accept Su Wenxuan as his disciple. After all, an alchemy genius like Su Wenxuan was rare. Among his several disciples, none of them had the alchemy talent of Su Wenxuan.
If Su Wenxuan was not Chu Yingmei's apprentice, he might even forcefully accept him as an apprentice.
"Meet the Master."
After completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Su Wenxuan had another master.
"Okay, you go ahead. I still have some things to deal with in the Alchemy Hall. Come to me in the evening and I will take you to meet your senior brothers and sisters."
Wu Bingzhang said.
Su Wenxuan left with Zhang Shen.
On the road.
Zhang Shen explained: "You must study hard after following Elder Wu. He far surpasses me in alchemy. In the entire Hongming Mansion, Elder Wu is one of the top alchemists."
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me."
"Well, I believe that with your talent and hard work, you will be able to learn a lot. Since you have worshiped Elder Wu, then come with me and I will teach you the last bit of my knowledge."
Arriving at Zhang Shen's home, Zhang Shen took out a thick book from the room and handed it to Su Wenxuan, "This is my life's experience in alchemy. It contains all the elixir recipes and all the alchemy techniques that I know, as well as...
There are some things that I have learned from myself and others, you can take them."
Su Wenxuan held the alchemy experience in his hands and saluted solemnly, "Master's kindness to me will never be forgotten."
Zhang Shen laughed, "There's no need to be so serious. The stronger you are, the more I can brag about. When you become a second-level alchemist, I can go out and brag to my old friends, even though I won't be able to achieve that level in my life."
I am a second-level alchemist, but I have an apprentice who is a second-level alchemist!"
"I will definitely become a second-level alchemist."
"I trust you."
Taking Zhang Shen's alchemy experience, he returned to his room.
From then on, Su Wenxuan had another identity: the direct disciple of the master of the Dan Hall, and a dual true disciple of the martial arts academy.
Once this identity is revealed, more people will come to attract investment in Su Wenxuan.
Su Wenxuan can now live a life of lying down and collecting money.
But he understands very well that all this is only temporary. He must continue to make progress and let his investors see his growth, otherwise the investment will be cut off and even forcibly withdrawn.
Whether he is a guest alchemist who enjoys the treatment of a top-grade alchemist of the Gu family, a third-level alchemist in the alchemy hall, or a direct disciple of Wu Bingzhang, all these require Su Wenxuan to use his own progress to maintain.
If there is no progress for a long time, these things will eventually cease to exist.
Opening Zhang Shen's alchemy experience, Su Wenxuan began to study it carefully.
Apart from Zhang Shen's knowledge of alchemy, what attracted Su Wenxuan the most were the prescriptions of several high-grade elixirs.
Top-grade Qi-refining pill, top-grade Qi-restoring pill, top-grade healing pill, and top-grade popular pill.
"I didn't expect that Master actually has a recipe for high-grade Fengxing Dan."
The first three types of elixir recipes are relatively common, and almost all top-level alchemists have them.
The last kind of top-grade Fengxing Dan is a relatively precious medicine. After taking it, it can increase the speed of the user for a certain period of time. Although it also has certain side effects, it is still very good to save life at critical moments.
Putting the alchemy experience and various elixir recipes on the idle position to quickly upgrade, Su Wenxuan sat down to take stock of what he had gained in the past few days.
After taking a careful inventory, Su Wenxuan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
It was worth it for him to expose his alchemy talent.
Not counting the Gu family and Dantang, the total value of the gifts given to him by other forces was around 1.2 million taels.
This large amount of money is enough for Su Wenxuan to upgrade an idle slot to sixty-four times the cultivation speed.
After selling some non-money gifts for money, Su Wenxuan quickly collected one million taels of silver and upgraded the [No. 2 hang-up position] to a cultivation speed of sixty-four times.
night.
Su Wenxuan came to the Alchemy Hall again and met with his master Wu Bingzhang, whom he had just met during the day, and his five other disciples.
There are men and women among these five people, with a big age gap. The oldest senior brother is over forty years old, and the youngest fifth senior sister is only sixteen years old, which is younger than Su Wenxuan. But there is no way, Su Wenxuan started at a later age.
, you still have to call her senior sister.
Several people had a meal together, got to know each other, and became familiar with each other.
In the following days, Su Wenxuan studied alchemy with Wu Bingzhang.
Wu Bingzhang indeed knew more than Zhang Shen and could teach Su Wenxuan more. With the help of the system, Su Wenxuan learned very quickly. He could quickly learn everything Wu Bingzhang taught him.
.
He did not fully show his progress in front of Wu Bingzhang, and still hid most of it, but even so, the speed of his progress still shocked Wu Bingzhang, who bluntly said that he did not accept the wrong apprentice.
In addition to studying with Wu Bingzhang, Su Wenxuan also did not forget about making money by making alchemy himself, and his daily schedule was full.
As he progressed in the "Great Eternal Soul Sutra", he became full of energy and would not feel tired even if he did not sleep for several days.
Another month has passed.
Su Wenxuan handed Chu Yingmei thirty middle-grade barrier-breaking pills that she had already refined, and Chu Yingmei gave him 120,000 taels of silver.
Then there is the third-level treatment from the Alchemy Hall, and the treatment from the Gu family as a high-ranking alchemist.
Because it was only the first month for Su Wenxuan to join Dantang and the Gu family, neither of these two forces assigned him any tasks, and all he could receive was a guaranteed salary.
Even so, the guaranteed salary is 30,000 taels per family, which adds up to 60,000 taels of silver.
Starting from the second month, the two forces successively arranged alchemy tasks for Su Wenxuan.
The more elixirs you refine, the better the quality and the richer the rewards.
With Su Wenxuan's strength, it is more than enough to complete the tasks of the two forces, and he still has extra free time, which he can use to refine pills and sell them himself.
In fact, if the elixir he refined was given directly to these two forces, he would make more money than if he sold it himself.
But that would completely expose his strength, so Su Wenxuan chose to keep a low profile.
It's okay to have a little less income, but don't be too conspicuous.
Although he is very eye-catching now, it would be better if he could restrain himself a little.
Especially his martial arts strength must not be exposed. This is his biggest trump card, the key trump card that can save his life.
Time passed day by day, and the strange mirror did not appear again, but Su Wenxuan did not take it lightly. He was still always wary of the strange mirror.
On this day, the entire Hongming Martial Arts Academy became lively because something big happened.
That is...the martial arts competition.
There are three types of competitions in Hongming Martial Arts Academy.
Competition between ordinary students.
Elite student competition.
And a competition between core students.
Anyone who performs well in the competition and obtains a high ranking will receive generous rewards. The rewards for this competition are greater than those in previous competitions.
This major event naturally attracted countless students to sign up to participate.
Su Wenxuan didn't even register his name and didn't participate at all.
But he can watch the battle.
Su Wenxuan's main focus of watching the battle was the battle between the core students.
His cultivation level has reached the peak of the sixth level, and he is making a breakthrough towards the seventh level. It won't take long for him to successfully break through.
Therefore, it doesn't make much sense to him to look at battles at level six and below.
If he competes for the elite ranking, he may even get the first place. The battle between core students is where he can watch and learn.
The core students in the martial arts academy are all very powerful, especially those who dare to sign up for the core competition. They have at least an eighth-grade cultivation level, and most of them even have a ninth-grade cultivation level.
Although Su Wenxuan thought he was not weak, after watching the battle, he found that he could not defeat anyone who participated in the core competition.
The reason is also very simple. After reaching the seventh level of cultivation, the inner energy can be freed from the restraints of the body, and the inner energy can be used for long-range attacks.
If he wants to use long-range attacks, he can only throw weapons, or use hidden weapons, etc.
Masters of the seventh rank and above can swing their swords to emit sword energy. This advantage is not huge. Warriors of the sixth rank and below are difficult to resist.
Su Wenxuan was also dazzled by the fighting methods of the core students, and he learned a lot from them.
Once he breaks through to the seventh level, all these things can be used.
After three days of trial and combat, the competition was all over.
The top ten ordinary students, the top ten elite students, and the top ten core students were all selected. Not only did they receive generous rewards, they were also taken away by the strong men of the academy to undergo some secret training.
Seeing the strong men from the academy taking away these geniuses, Su Wenxuan's expression turned ugly.
Because he found that among the geniuses who were taken away, there were two people who looked very strange to him. This feeling of something wrong was exactly the same as the feeling he had when he saw the weird Gu Nan before.
In other words, two of these geniuses are not humans, but weird mirrors!
Of these two people, one is among the top ten ordinary students, and the other is among the top ten elite students.
Su Wenxuan could only watch them being taken away, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had no evidence to prove that they were weird and could not reveal their identities.
But Su Wenxuan felt unhappy when he thought that Mirror Weird would be vigorously cultivated by the martial arts academy. As Mirror Weird became stronger, his danger would be greater.
After thinking for a while, Su Wenxuan decided that he couldn't just watch.
If the matter has nothing to do with him, he can still hang it up, but now this matter has involved himself. If he hangs it up again, sooner or later he will be hung up by the mirror.
By then, it was too late for him to say anything.
Su Wenxuan decided to ask Chu Yingmei for help.
at this time.
In front of him, a figure suddenly appeared, with a familiar and strange smile on his face.
Su Wenxuan's face darkened.
He knew this person. He was an elite student in the martial arts academy. Although he was not in the top ten, he was still a genius. His name was He Qian.
Unexpectedly, he was also strangely controlled by the mirror.
