Alchemist Guangcheng returned the identity token to Lin Fan and said: "The admission procedures have been completed for you. From today on, you will be an alchemy disciple of His Excellency Li Dan."
"Your future affairs in the Dan Pavilion will also be under my jurisdiction."
Lin Fan took the token, held it in his hand and said, "Master, please give me your instructions."
"You have just come to the Dan Pavilion and have no experience in alchemy. For the time being, let's learn how to prepare spiritual materials." Guangcheng said, pointing to the shelf beside him: "Your task this month is to be responsible for preparing this item.
A hundred pounds of purple snail shells were ground into powder. You must have read the rule manual. If you fail to complete it on time, you know the consequences."
"Uncle Guang, don't worry, I will try my best to complete the mission!"
"I hope you won't disappoint my uncle when the time comes." After Guangcheng finished speaking, he turned around and left the dispensing pharmacy.
Since the task at hand was a month long, Lin Fan was not in a hurry to start, but planned to walk around the Dan Pavilion first.
The first is to get to know the colleagues in Xia Dan Pavilion, and the second is to understand the situation of Xia Dan Pavilion.
Half an hour later, Lin Fan, who briefly walked around the Dan Pavilion, already had a general understanding of the situation in the Dan Pavilion.
Lidan Pavilion has five floors. The first floor is a hall for receiving guests and several guest rooms for temporary rest.
On the second floor are several dispensaries and several storage rooms that store large amounts of spiritual materials.
On the third floor are eight shared alchemy rooms and several warehouses for storing elixirs.
The fourth floor is the office of Hong Nian, the deputy master of the pavilion, and an alchemy room dedicated to the deputy master of the pavilion.
The fifth floor is the office of Fan Mo, the master of the Dan Pavilion, and an alchemy room dedicated to the master.
Since the Pavilion Master is obsessed with alchemy all day long, the deputy Pavilion Master is usually in charge of all matters in the Alchemy Pavilion.
There are currently four alchemy masters working in Lidan Pavilion, and under the alchemy masters there are seven alchemy disciples including Lin Fan.
Among them, only Alchemist Guangcheng has only one person under his banner. The other three alchemists have two alchemy disciples who are responsible for his actions.
It's not that Guangcheng only wants an alchemy disciple. In fact, his reputation is so great that ordinary disciples simply don't dare to take on this hard job.
…
In the afternoon.
In the lounge on the second floor of Dan Pavilion.
Several alchemy disciples were chatting while eating afternoon tea.
"Did you hear about it? It seems that we have a new alchemy disciple in our alchemy pavilion. I heard that he is working under Alchemist Guangcheng."
"This is that unlucky guy again. He actually works under Guangcheng. I bet he won't last three months."
"Three months? The first few people put together did not last six months under Guangcheng. I bet that person can last for two months at most."
Normally, once a sect mission is accepted, one is not allowed to give up midway unless there are force majeure factors.
However, if the person who issued the task feels that you are not qualified, he can cancel the task in advance. In this case, even if the disciple who performs the task fails and does not receive the reward for the task, there will be no additional punishment.
Several of the disciples who served as alchemy disciples under Guang Cheng had their assignments revoked because Guang Cheng felt they were unqualified.
While several people were talking, Lin Fan, dressed in Tsing Yi, also walked into the house.
He stepped forward and said: "Senior brothers, I am Lin Fan, the alchemy disciple who has just come to Lidan Pavilion. Please take good care of me in the future."
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Lin, I'm Gu Qi. The two beside me are Meng Yue and Fei Ze." The taller one handed Lin Fan a cup of spiritual tea.
Lin Fan was not polite. After taking the spirit tea, he quickly joined in the chat with several people.
"Junior brother Lin, since this is your first mission, you should still have many choices. Why did you choose this mission? Is it possible that you haven't heard of Alchemist Guangcheng's deeds before?" Gu Qi said.
"I've heard some rumors about Uncle Guangcheng, but I was short of money and saw that the reward for this alchemy disciple's mission was very generous, so I impulsively accepted this mission," Lin Fan said.
"So that's it. However, Uncle Guangcheng always likes to use one person as two people. This spiritual stone is not so easy to get." Gu Qi said.
While chatting with a few people, Lin Fan also had a clearer understanding of the situation of Alchemy disciple.
Generally speaking, alchemy disciples who first enter the alchemy pavilion will only be engaged in the work of preparing spiritual materials in the first five years.
Only when you are proficient in this job will you be assigned tasks such as looking after the furnace and controlling the fire.
As for refining alchemy, it is basically possible only if you have been an alchemy disciple for more than ten years.
However, this kind of work arrangement is exactly what he wants.
After all, he can quickly learn how to control fire and condense pills by himself, but it is only the preparation of spiritual materials that needs to be mastered slowly.
After some small talk, Lin Fan returned to the dispensing pharmacy.
He took down the grinding instrument from the shelf, poured a pound of purple snail shells into it, and then mobilized his magic power to start driving the grinding instrument to run rapidly.
With a harsh sound, the purple snail shell was ground into fine grains of sand bit by bit.
"The texture of this purple snail shell is really hard!"
It took him a full hour to grind a pound of purple snail shells.
A full third of the mana in his body was also used up!
After grinding for another two hours, all the mana in his body was exhausted. He had no choice but to take out the spirit stone and meditate on the spot to restore his mana.
With the help of spiritual stones, he can fully recover his mana within three hours.
Calculating this, even if he works all day, he can only grind six pounds of purple snail shells!
And it will cost two spiritual stones!
You must know that the total amount of mana in his body is equivalent to that of a monk in the middle stage of opening the meridians.
Since he has opened nine immortal veins, his mana recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary pulse-opening monks.
Even so, it would take him more than half a month to complete the task assigned by Master Guangcheng!
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have to work non-stop for a whole month before they could even complete the task! It would even require sixty spiritual stones!
That's 720 spiritual stones a year, and his reward is only 600 yuan a year!
Now he finally understood why Uncle Guangcheng had a bad reputation outside.
You need to work twelve hours a day, not to mention the time for cultivation, and there is no time for rest.
This is not treating one person as two people, this is treating people as beasts!
The most disgusting thing is that you will still lose money if you do this!
That is, if it were him, how could anyone else have persisted?
Fortunately, this seemingly boring job is still helpful to the use of one's own magic power.
He could feel that his control over mana had slightly improved.
A few years ago, when he was in the Tianfeng Secret Realm, he obtained a large number of spiritual stones and magic weapons through killings, and he became rich overnight.
Being sensitive to his mood, he could clearly feel that this kind of windfall had a subtle impact on his mood, making him even more eager for adventure.
Nowadays, this job may seem boring, but it can sharpen your heart and temper your sharp edges.
Life needs excitement but also tranquility. The best combination is movement and stillness. This chapter has been completed!
