PDLP Chapter 49 Preparing to Leave Julu City
Chapter 49 Preparing to Leave Julu City
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenting quickly chimed in, "Father, tell Second Uncle to expedite the transfer of the property so we can leave as soon as possible!"
Su Xiaoxiao's safety is paramount, and so is Chu Feng's cultivation. Only when Chu Feng becomes stronger can he rescue Su Xiaoxiao more quickly.
At this moment, the Su family wished they could fly away from Julu City immediately.
Su Yongquan and others went to assist Second Master Su in transferring the property, and at the same time, they also had to sell the Su family's land and houses.
Chu Feng went to the Pill Pavilion to take the test for alchemist badges.
"Young Master Chu, please come in," the new servant at the door said respectfully.
"Where is your master? Take me to see him," Chu Feng said calmly.
"Young Master Chu, the Lord is in a bit of trouble right now. I hope you can lend a hand." An old man who looked like an alchemist walked over. Clearly, he had been waiting here for a long time.
"Who are you?" Chu Feng asked.
The old man cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Chu, I am Jiang Ping'an, the deputy head of the Danlou."
Chu Feng asked suspiciously, "Master Jiang, what happened to Master Wu?"
Jiang Ping'an sighed, "In order to refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill, the Master ruined 170 batches of medicinal herbs. Now, Zeng Xiao, the Master of the Pill Pavilion in the prefectural city, has come to question him! Please, Young Master Chu, help the Master!"
Upon hearing that Wu Heng had ruined 170 batches of medicinal herbs, Chu Feng's lips twitched involuntarily. How many spirit stones were those herbs worth? "How can I help him? Refining pills is no problem, but if he ruins the herbs, there's nothing I can do to help him, right?"
He had told Wu Heng long ago that the Marrow Nourishing Pill was not so easy to refine, but Wu Heng wouldn't listen. What could be done?
Jiang Ping'an said urgently, "Young Master Chu, as long as Master Wu can produce ten batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills, this matter can be resolved!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately felt a bit strange: "I heard from Master Wu that Master Zeng is not one of his kind. Obviously, Master Zeng came prepared. If that's the case, what's the use of taking out the Marrow Nourishing Pill?"
If you're determined to find fault, you'll always find a pretext. They're already prepared to make things difficult for you, so what good will your medicine do?
Jiang Ping'an explained, "According to the regulations of the Pill Tower headquarters, anyone who wastes too many medicinal materials while refining pills can be forgiven as long as they can make up for it with pills. This is a kind of indirect protection for alchemists. No matter how powerful Master Zeng is, he would not dare to go against the rules of the Pill Tower."
Chu Feng laughed and said, "In that case, there's nothing to worry about. Let's go refine the pills first, but you'll have to give me some medicinal herbs."
Chu Feng wouldn't help for nothing. He had already used up all the Nourishing Marrow Pills he had refined, and he probably didn't have any more pills left with Su Yongquan. It would be great if he could scavenge some materials.
Will Danlou lack materials? Obviously not.
Upon hearing that Chu Feng was willing to help, Jiang Ping'an was naturally delighted: "Of course, I will give Young Master Chu forty portions of medicinal herbs, and you only need to give me forty pills, that will be enough."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was overjoyed. This old man was incredibly generous; he only wanted forty pills but gave him forty portions of medicinal herbs. He was such a kind old man!
"Then let's go refine pills now. By the way, Pavilion Master Jiang, please present me with an alchemist's plaque," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Ping'an said, "The nameplate is no problem, but Young Master Chu, our authority is only to process nameplates for second-grade alchemists."
Chu Feng said, "No problem, I just happen to need the identity of a guest alchemist at the Pill Pavilion."
Jiang Ping'an nodded and led Chu Feng directly to the hall where alchemists would be assessed.
With Jiang Ping'an personally leading the way, all the procedures became much easier. Not only was a separate examination room arranged for Chu Feng, but the medicinal herbs were also delivered quickly.
Having refined dozens of batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills, Chu Feng was naturally very experienced. After an hour, he had refined five batches of ordinary Marrow Nourishing Pills, five batches of top-grade Marrow Nourishing Pills, plus one batch of first-grade ordinary pills and one batch of second-grade ordinary pills.
As for the remaining medicinal herbs, Chu Feng planned to keep them to refine some other pills for the Su family, Zeng Yunxia, and himself.
"Master Jiang, you may come in!" Chu Feng called out.
Jiang Ping'an had assumed that Chu Feng wouldn't be able to refine forty Marrow Nourishing Pills in less than a day, but unexpectedly, Chu Feng called him after only an hour. Could there be a problem?
Upon entering the alchemist's room, one would see six jade bottles neatly arranged on the table.
Upon opening them, they were filled with pills, especially the four jade bottles at the back, which were all filled with marrow-nourishing pills!
"Young Master Chu, how many batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills have you refined? So quickly?" Jiang Ping'an asked in surprise.
In just one hour, he produced forty Marrow Nourishing Pills, and two more batches of first-grade and second-grade pills. How long does it take this kid to refine one batch of pills? How many pills does he produce in one batch?
Chu Feng laughed and said, "Let's hurry and find Master Wu, so he won't be worried."
There's no need to ask how many batches were refined.
Jiang Ping'an handed the prepared second-grade alchemist plaque to Chu Feng, then shook his head. This kid's success rate and the number of pills he succeeds are probably terrifying!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to refine so many pills in just one hour!
The Danlou Tower has seven floors, and this time Jiang Ping'an took Chu Feng to the seventh floor.
After going upstairs, Jiang Ping'an led Chu Feng forward until they stopped in front of a large door, where he knocked.
"Come in!" A majestic voice rang out. Chu Feng knew immediately that this person was already at the first level of the Void God stage, and it should be Zeng Xiao from the Pill Tower in Fucheng.
Chu Feng followed Jiang Ping'an inside and found a dignified middle-aged man sitting in a grand chair, with Hu Liren, a first-grade alchemist, standing next to him.
Standing opposite the middle-aged man was Wu Heng.
"Master Zeng, I have brought ten batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills. I beg you to be lenient and let Master Wu off this time," Jiang Ping'an said bluntly.
Zeng Xiao came to Danlou in Julu City with no good intentions. Jiang Ping'an and Wu Heng are in cahoots. If Wu Heng is kicked out of Danlou, Jiang Ping'an will be kicked out with him.
Let's be clear about things and do everything according to the rules of the Danta.
Upon hearing that Jiang Ping'an had brought ten batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills, Wu Heng knew that Chu Feng had arrived. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Old Jiang, Young Master Chu."
"What! Ten batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills?" Zeng Xiao stood up in anger. He was about to kick Wu Heng out of the Pill Tower, how did the Marrow Nourishing Pills suddenly appear?
Wu Heng now had confidence. With 170 batches of medicinal herbs, he could produce 10 batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills. No one could deal with him anymore.
"Jiang Ping'an, where did you get your Marrow Nourishing Pill? Did you embezzle it with Master Wu last time?" Hu Liren saw that Zeng Xiao seemed unable to control the situation, and with a quick thought, he came up with an idea.
"Hu Liren, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to question me?" Jiang Ping'an cursed mercilessly.
It was because of this traitorous scum that Wu Heng's failed alchemy attempt was reported to Zeng Xiao.
Zeng Xiao slapped the table: "Jiang Ping'an, Hu Liren's question makes sense. What if this Marrow Nourishing Pill was embezzled by you last time? That won't do."
This guy is shameless!
They can be so insidious and vicious even towards their own people!
