[Third Update] 822: Chapter 820: I want you to refine a batch of pills for !
[Third Update] The Dean of the Dan Dao Courtyard, nad Lu Qingyu, was the only Eighth-Grade Alchemist on the Miracle Ridge, and his cultivation was also unfathomable, making him the number one expert within the Dan Dao Courtyard!
After Lu Qingyu appeared, Lin Bai’s pressure lessened.
An Elder of the Dan Dao Courtyard hastily said, “Dean, this kid caused trouble in the Arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard, spouting nonsense and speaking disrespectfully, defaming the elixir doctrine and belittling the Dan Dao Courtyard, we were just about to seize him!”
Qiu Yukui also said, “That’s right, please, Dean, you must see the truth of the matter!”
Lu Qingyu spoke indifferently, “He is not wrong.
The dicinal properties of Nine Lives Grass and Coiling Dragon Root are indeed as he described!”
“What!”
Upon hearing Lu Qingyu’s words, the entire place erupted in shock.
Not only were the 200,000 Warriors stunned.
But even the Elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard and Qiu Yukui were shocked.
Gu Yueqing was also taken aback, her eyes wide with astonishnt.
Lu Qingyu, as the Dean of the Dan Dao Courtyard, corroborating Lin Bai’s previous statents, was tantamount to saying there were errors in the Dan Dao Courtyard’s elixir doctrine.
“How about it?
The Dean of your Dan Dao Courtyard also says I’m not wrong.
Do you still think I’m talking nonsense?” Lin Bai said with a smile.
Gu Yueqing snapped back to reality and asked, “Then Master, why does the doctrine record it as…”
Lu Qingyu said, “As this young friend just explained, extrely cold natural environnts are hard to find, hence many Spiritual dicines are cultivated by the Dan Dao Courtyard itself.”
“Because the difference between cultivated Spiritual dicines and natural ones isn’t significant, the elixir doctrine recorded the thods for cultivating Spiritual dicines, not the natural growth habits of the dicines.”
“As a result, years later, apart from myself, very few people within the Dan Dao Courtyard still know the actual growth habits of Nine Lives Grass and Coiling Dragon Root,” Lu Qingyu said calmly.
200,000 Warriors present were left dumbfounded.
Qiu Yukui was dumbstruck!
The Elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard were dumbstruck!
Gu Yueqing was also left with her eyes wide open in disbelief!
That obscure young lad was actually telling the truth!
Lu Qingyu turned to look at Lin Bai with a benevolent smile and said, “I didn’t expect soone of your young age to understand the dicinal properties of Coiling Dragon Root and Nine Lives Grass.
It’s no simple feat.
Whom did you study under?”
Lin Bai shook his head and said, “A nobody.”
Lu Qingyu laughed and said, “With such profound knowledge in dicine, how can you be a nobody?”
Lin Bai gave a slight smile, “I am Lin Bai, a disciple from the Sword Art Academy, having sworn in at the Miracle Ridge three days ago.”
Lu Qingyu frowned and said, “If you possess such deep understanding of Dan Dao, why didn’t you choose to join the Dan Dao Courtyard instead opting for the Sword Art Academy?”
Lin Bai said, “At that ti, an Elder of the Dan Dao Courtyard wanted to take in as well.”
“Hmm?”
Lu Qingyu was surprised and asked with an unhappy face, “Which Elder was responsible for recruiting disciples for the Dan Dao Courtyard this year?”
Lu Qingyu acted promptly and spoke decisively.
Imdiately, an Elder from the front row of the Dan Dao Courtyard hurried forward, dripping with sweat and with a panicked expression, “Reporting to the Dean, it was .”
Lu Qingyu turned to look at him and said coldly, “Guo Yu?
What’s this about?
Why didn’t the Dan Dao Courtyard take him as a disciple?”
This Elder nad Guo Yu was the sa one who had been in charge of recruiting disciples for the Dan Dao Courtyard in Tianding City.
Hearing the icy tone of Lu Qingyu, Guo Yu shivered all over, trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Bai quickly said, “Actually, it’s not Senior Guo Yu’s fault.
I am not an Alchemist but a Sword Cultivator, and it’s only logical that I chose the Sword Art Academy.”
Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Lu Qingyu imdiately responded with a cold tone, “The Sword Art Academy, huh!
Fighting and killing all day with swords, it’s all so brutish and lacks any technical depth.
How could that compare to the strength of my Dan Dao Courtyard?”
“Why don’t you leave the Sword Art Academy and join the Dan Dao Courtyard?
With your understanding of dicinal properties, once you join, I will cultivate you with great effort,” Lu Qingyu offered.
Upon hearing Lu Qingyu’s offer, Lin Bai imdiately sighed inwardly with a bittersweet smile.
Indeed.
The Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge were not as peaceful on the surface as they seed.
At the ti, Dugu Yun, while at the Famous Sword Manor, saw Lin Bai produce three invitation letters and proceeded to belittle the other three academies one by one.
Hong Su, back in the Imperial City of the Shenwu Kingdom, had also expressed a hint of anger, saying, “Chulong Courtyard has taken the lead again,” her words filled with dissatisfaction.
And at this very mont, Lu Qingyu openly displayed disdain, saying, “What’s so good about the Sword Art Academy?
All they do is fight and kill; there’s no technical substance to it.”
These words were filled with contempt.
In the arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard, several disciples from the Sword Art Academy, upon hearing Lu Qingyu’s words, showed a hint of anger on their faces, but in the end, they dared not speak out.
Lin Bai chuckled and said, “It’s a personal choice, after all.”
Lu Qingyu shook his head, resigned, and said, “Very well then, since you have made your choice, I shall not force you.”
Lin Bai spoke calmly, “Dean, the truth is, I ca to the Dan Dao Courtyard to ask Miss Gu Yueqing for a favor.
May I stay here for a few days?”
Gu Yueqing, hearing that Lin Bai had co for her, imdiately lit up with curiosity in her eyes.
Qiu Yukui, upon hearing this, showed a face full of murderous intent.
Lu Qingyu asked, “What business do you have?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I’d like to ask Miss Gu Yueqing to refine an elixir for .”
“I see,” Lu Qingyu nodded in sudden realization.
At that mont.
Qiu Yukui suddenly said with a stern voice, “Miss Gu Yueqing, as the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, isn’t soone who can be casually asked to refine elixir for anyone.”
“Moreover, do you know how many points a common warrior must pay to request an alchemist from the Dan Dao Courtyard to refine a single elixir?”
“To ask Miss Gu Yueqing to refine for you, you must prepare at least five thousand points.
Otherwise, she would not agree to perform the alchemy for you.”
“Do you have five thousand points?”
With these words, it was clear that Qiu Yukui did not want Lin Bai to get too close to Gu Yueqing and was trying to scare Lin Bai away.
Lu Qingyu also nodded and said, “Young friend, alchemy is indeed the lifeblood of our Dan Dao Courtyard.
We collect points for each alchemy session, as it’s clearly stipulated by our Courtyard.
As for the amount, you may discuss it in detail with Gu Yueqing!”
“I hope you understand.”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I understand perfectly.
An alchemist relies on his alchemical skills to make his living; charging a commission is only natural.”
Qiu Yukui spoke coldly, “Looking at your destitute appearance, do you actually have five thousand points?”
Lin Bai gave a slight smile; he currently had 5,221 points on him.
Out of those, 5,121 points were converted from a pass token he had received in the Lingfan Mountains.
The remaining 100 points had been awarded to him for securing first place in this year’s Miracle Ridge assessnt.
Lin Bai had planned to spend all 5,221 points on purchasing the Spiritual dicine for the Heaven Repairing Pill.
He was not even certain he could afford all the Spiritual dicine for the Heaven Repairing Pill with those five thousand plus points, let alone have extra money to pay for Gu Yueqing’s alchemy services.
After considering for a mont, Lin Bai smiled and said, “I must confess, my purse is rather thin, and indeed I do not have five thousand points.”
Qiu Yukui let out a loud laugh and said, “Since you don’t have five thousand points, then don’t bother Miss Gu Yueqing; she won’t refine the elixir for you!”
“Qiu Yukui, don’t be so quick to dismiss .
Although I don’t have five thousand points, I can exchange other things for it!”
Lin Bai stated calmly.
At this, Gu Yueqing asked, “My friend, what do you propose to exchange?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “If you agree to refine a batch of elixir for , regardless of whether the result is successful, I will teach you how to refine the Human Emperor Elixir.”
“What do you think of this exchange?” he said to Gu Yueqing.
Not only were Gu Yueqing’s eyes shocked to hear Lin Bai’s offer, even Lu Qingyu showed a look of surprise.
Lu Qingyu eagerly asked, “Are you confident in your ability to refine the Human Emperor Elixir?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I’m quite sure of it!”
Hiss!
Hearing Lin Bai’s confident reply, Lu Qingyu imdiately took a sharp intake of breath!
