Chapter 31 - Grade One Alchemist Chen Dun Yue
Long Xuan came to the Alchemists Division, there were a lot of people here, causing the place to be particularly lively, especially the first floor's hall, which was surrounded by rows and rows of shops, the big and small array display screens constantly flickering with information on buying and selling, as well as some recruitment information. They were shops that sold medicinal pills to collect, and at the same time, the academy established an alchemist examination platform here, where anyone could test their talent in cultivation.
Long Xuan was really surprised, he never thought that there would be such a human-like landlord in the Academy, although it was bustling here, it was not noisy at all. The people who would compete to come here were all students and teachers of the Academy, outsiders could not come here to trade, and the people who would trade would not be gold outside, but rather contribution points.
Long Xuan walked to the front of a pharmacy, only to see a small array display above the shop, on it was written: "Chen Ji Pharmacy", the entrance seemed cold and empty, and did not have many people walking around like the other shops, showing that the business was not very good. He walked into the shop, which was dark, and saw a man in his thirties lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed. He was humming an unknown tune and waving a fan in his hand.
Long Xuan's arrival caused the man to open his eyes, he exclaimed "En" and sat up. Seeing Long Xuan, he immediately stood up and placed the fan on the chair, and asked Long Xuan: "Junior brother, what do you need?"
Long Xuan slightly nodded, and said slowly: "Senior Brother, is this the pharmacy?"
The man opened his eyes, his expression extremely ugly. He snorted and said to Long Xuan coldly: "I'm not in the pharmacy, what do you think this is? Isn't that the sign outside? This shop has been here for more than 10 years, it's a famous old shop. "
"Oh," Long Xuan couldn't help but rub his head and laugh, "Senior Brother, this is my first time here, and I don't really understand. I hope senior brother won't take offense to it."
After the man heard this, his expression relaxed. He looked at Long Xuan and whispered, "You must be here to exchange for a pill to level up, right?"
"Mn," Long Xuan nodded his head: "Little brother's cultivation is about to break through in the next few days, and the Academy can exchange for me a pellet for free, so little brother has come over to exchange for one. I wonder if Senior Brother has a Qi Gathering Pellet?"
"Yes, yes!" The man couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He called out 'yes' three times in a row and wiped away the ring on his finger. A white jade bottle appeared out of nowhere in his hand.
Carefully opening the lid, a strange fragrance immediately filled the whole hall, causing Long Xuan to feel refreshed.
The man gave the jade bottle to Long Xuan, and then said gently: "Junior, can you give your identity jade token to me to register?" Long Xuan took the jade bottle, and without saying a word, he gave his identity jade tablet to the man. The man then whispered to Long Xuan: "Junior brother, sit down first, I'll register for you inside, please wait for a moment."
"Senior Brother, please go back to your work. I will just wait here."
"Alright," the sturdy man did not care about Long Xuan, and entered the inner hall with Long Xuan's jade medallion.
Long Xuan knew that although the Academy free opened up pills for students, alchemists could not really be free. Every time they gave a student a pill, they could use their identity jade tablet to exchange for a certain amount of contribution points. Thus, in this kind of situation, most of the contribution points given in the Academy were very high, the Academy's goal was to encourage alchemists to contribute more to the Academy.
The man took Long Xuan's jade tablet to register, and used it to swipe his own shop, after which the man gained 1000 contribution points. It was a pity that over the past ten years, he had always been a first tier alchemist. The seniors and juniors that came with him had all risen to the next level, but he had always been unable to advance, and after some time the instructor found out the reason, it turned out that his talent as an alchemist was lacking, and he was unable to increase his own soul perception. As a result, he was always a first tier alchemist, and in the end, other than enjoying the benefits of a first tier alchemist, Long Xuan was also refining a first grade alchemist.
Chen Danyue returned Long Xuan's jade token, which Long Xuan thanked him for. Without further ado, he turned and left the pharmacy, and Chen Danyue returned to his chair to continue resting.
