#198 - Danbao Pavilion, Alchemist's Grand Gathering
“Oh, Steward Wu, you are mistaken. Danbao Pavilion values not cultivation level, but alchemy skills. With Steward Wu's abilities, you are a renowned figure throughout Youzhou.”
Wu Wenfeng smiled and stroked his beard.
These people were not just flattering him. Wu Wenfeng's alchemy skills had indeed long been famous throughout Youzhou, and he even had the nickname 'Dan Mo' (Alchemy Demon). His success rate was high, his alchemy skills were strong, and he was highly sought after.
When he was still in the Tianji Dynasty, he was the royal alchemist.
Wu Wenfeng was also confident about entering the Danbao Pavilion this time.
… …
Another half month passed quietly, and the cultivators who were supposed to come had mostly arrived.
With a loud bell ringing, the white jade square instantly became silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the nine-story pill furnace building.
Whoosh!
Figures suddenly shot out from it and landed on the high platform of the white jade square.
“Hiss! Hall Master Lin, Hall Master Feng, Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Qin… All the hall masters and deputy hall masters have come!”
“This should be the grandest event since the Evergreen Alliance unified Youzhou. It's usually difficult to even meet these high-level figures, but now they are all gathered here!”
“Giving so much face, the future Pavilion Master of this Danbao Pavilion must be extraordinary!”
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and shock, and they couldn't help clenching their fists.
A black robe fluttered in the wind, it was the Black-Robed Incarnation.
To the left of the Black-Robed Incarnation, Qin Changqing was wearing a white robe and smiling, making people feel like a spring breeze with just one glance.
The other two were Ji Linglong, a half-step Body Integration Venerable, and Qin Qichen, who was a little nervous and uneasy.
Qin Qichen was focused on alchemy, and it was the first time he had faced such a large scene. The dense crowd of cultivators below made his palms sweat, and he couldn't help swallowing.
To be honest, he was a bit socially awkward.
“Greetings, Alliance Master, Deputy Alliance Master!”
The cultivators below immediately bowed in unison, their voices shaking the sky, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.
The Black-Robed Incarnation smiled faintly: “You don't need to be so polite, please sit down!”
Tables and chairs had already been set up around the white jade square, and everyone sat down.
The Black-Robed Incarnation said lightly: “The reason I have gathered you here is to select sufficiently excellent alchemists from the entire Evergreen Alliance territory to join and create the future together. I promise that in the future, cultivators who are qualified to enter the Danbao Pavilion can access various alchemical recipes and ancient formulas collected by the Evergreen Alliance according to their level, and will receive more resource allocation. The higher the level, the higher the permission, and this level is based on your effort and talent, not just cultivation level, so everyone has a chance.”
As soon as these words came out, the white jade square immediately boiled over.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and agitation.
The meaning of these words was not difficult to understand. It meant that as long as you were talented and worked hard enough, you would have high enough permission to unlock more alchemical recipes and ancient formulas, and you would also get more resources to practice with.
What do alchemists lack the most?
It was precious alchemical recipes and materials. Without alchemical recipes, you would have nowhere to use your alchemy skills.
Without enough materials to practice with, you would not be able to accumulate experience, and your success rate would naturally not be high.
This also reflects the importance of Qin Changqing putting Qin Qichen in the Spirit Lake Secret Realm to practice back then. Now, Qin Qichen's success rate was ridiculously high. Even if he was given a brand new alchemical recipe, he could refine a pill in a very short time. This was experience!
The Black-Robed Incarnation raised his hand, and the square below immediately quieted down, everyone staring at him with fiery eyes.
The Black-Robed Incarnation turned his head to look at Qin Qichen beside him and said indifferently: “Qin Qichen!”
“Disciple is here!”
Qin Qichen quickly bowed and kowtowed.
The Black-Robed Incarnation said: “I now appoint you as the Pavilion Master of the Danbao Pavilion of the Evergreen Alliance. From today onwards, you must shoulder the responsibility of alchemy for the entire Evergreen Alliance and must not slack off!”
As soon as these words came out, the square below became lively again.
Everyone's faces showed surprise.
“What? The Pavilion Master of the Danbao Pavilion is not Vice Hall Master Wei?”
“Who is Qin Qichen? I haven't heard of him? Could he be an unparalleled alchemy master? He seems very young…”
“Didn't you hear? This is the Alliance Master's disciple!”
“I know that Qin Qichen is not only the Alliance Master's disciple, but also the Deputy Alliance Master's son. He was a fourth-order alchemist in my Fengnie Domain before, and he is extremely talented in alchemy!”
“Fourth-order? Ah, this… Isn't it a bit low?”
Although the Alliance Master was here to support him, Qin Qichen was still too young after all, and it was indeed difficult to convince everyone.
Wei Ding suddenly stood up and said: “Everyone, even I admire Pavilion Master Chen's alchemy talent. Don't look at Pavilion Master Chen's only Nascent Soul stage cultivation, but he can already refine fourth-order high-grade pills, and the success rate has reached 90%. I ask you all, who can do it?”
Lin Huang also stood up and smiled: “That's right, Chen'er was originally an alchemist in my Fengnie Domain, and I have tasted the fifth-order pills he personally refined, and the effect is very good!”
What?
Nascent Soul stage refining fifth-order pills? The success rate of fourth-order pills has reached 90%?
Even Hall Master Lin has tasted the pills he refined!
Wei Ding and Lin Huang's words immediately caused a burst of exclamation below.
However, no one questioned Wei Ding's words, because he himself was a sixth-order alchemy master, and with his status, it was impossible for him to deceive everyone.
One after another, several hall masters came forward to prove Qin Qichen's ability, which immediately dispelled everyone's doubts.
“Yes, we all know the Alliance Master's breadth of mind and pattern. Although Pavilion Master Chen is the Alliance Master's disciple and the Deputy Alliance Master's son, he will never be nepotistic. Pavilion Master Chen must have something extraordinary to be arranged like this!”
“That's right! Pavilion Master Chen's heaven-defying alchemy talent is beyond our reach. It is right for him to sit in this Pavilion Master position!”
“Yes, to support the future of the Danbao Pavilion, what is needed is indeed strong talent. With Pavilion Master Chen's talent, when his cultivation level is improved, let alone a sixth-order alchemist, even a seventh-order or eighth-order alchemist is not necessarily impossible!”
After a brief silence, everyone bowed and said: “Greetings, Pavilion Master Chen!”
Qin Qichen showed a shy smile, raised his hand slightly, and concealed the nervousness in his heart.
The corners of Qin Changqing's mouth翘了翘, this socially awkward boy should come out to see the world and exercise more.
The Black-Robed Incarnation nodded and said again: “Wei Ding, I appoint you as the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Danbao Pavilion of the Evergreen Alliance. You must assist Chen'er in managing the Danbao Pavilion and must not make mistakes!”
A look of excitement flashed in Wei Ding's eyes, and he quickly bowed and said: “Thank you for the Alliance Master's appreciation!”
