Chapter 152 Two First-Class Pill Recipes
Bao Xu looked at Li Caiwei's confused expression and asked in confusion, "After returning, didn't Master Song tell Fellow Daoist Li what he did at the Danding Sect's 'Immortal Alchemy Conference'?"
"I didn't say what I did specifically."
Li Caiwei then remembered that when Song Jie came back, he only said that he stayed in Danding Sect for a few more days because he was attending the "Immortal Pill Discussion Conference" of Danding Sect.
No one really said what was done at the "Immortal Elixir Conference".
The couple didn't know much about alchemy, let alone be interested in it, so they didn't ask much at the time.
At this time, listening to what Bao, the supervisor of Baodan Building, said, it seemed that Song Jie had done something extraordinary at the "Immortal Elixir Conference".
He even became the second most recognized alchemy genius among the younger generation in Yunmozhou.
Bao Xu suddenly realized what was going on and said, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Li didn't know, it turns out that Master Song Dan didn't tell you.
"This news has just reached our Xinyuefang Market."
"Oh?" Li Caiwei asked curiously, "What's the news?"
Bao Xu chuckled and said, "According to the news from outside, your Alchemist Song is at the Danding Sect's 'Immortal Alchemy Conference'.
"With her exquisite alchemy fire technique, she defeated Mu Lingxuan from the Danding Sect on the discussion stage."
At this point, Bao Xu chuckled again and continued, "Fellow Daoist Li is not an alchemist, so he may not know who Mu Lingxuan is.
“Mu Lingxuan is the recognized number one alchemy genius among the younger generation in Yunmozhou.
“But such a genius in alchemy lost to your Alchemist Song in the competition of alchemy fire technique.
"Your Master Song is therefore known as the second alchemy genius in Yunmozhou."
"Is it so powerful?" Li Caiwei found it a little unbelievable.
She really didn't expect that Song Jie went to Danding Sect and came back with such a big thing.
Not only did he do a big thing, but he also said nothing after he came back.
This is too outrageous!
He didn't even show off this kind of thing. If he took it outside and hyped it up, the business in the store would definitely be better.
However, the pills that Song Jie refines on a daily basis don't seem to be of very high quality.
Although Li Caiwei didn't know how to make elixirs, she still knew the most basic qualities of elixirs and what elixirs of different qualities meant.
If she remembered correctly, most of the pills that Song Jie refined and sold were of medium and high quality, with occasional ones of premium quality.
This level of alchemy is considered quite impressive in a small place like Crescent City.
But if it is placed in the Danding Sect, one of the five major sects famous for alchemy, it is definitely not good enough.
So the news that Bao Xu told made Li Caiwei feel very unreal.
She even wondered if there was something wrong with Bao Xu's source of information.
Or the "Master Song" who was the second-best alchemy genius was not the same "Master Song" as the "Master Song" in their family.
It’s not that she doesn’t want Song Jie to achieve such an achievement, but Song Jie’s talent in alchemy, which he has shown on a daily basis, is quite good.
But compared with those wild alchemists in Xinyue Market, he is just about on par with them.
If compared with those alchemy geniuses of Danding Sect, you can tell with your toes that there is no comparison at all.
So, Li Caiwei confirmed with Bao Xu again: "Manager Bao, are you sure that the 'Song Danshi' who is the second-year talent in Yunmozhou you are talking about is the Song Danshi named Song Jie in our Danqi Pavilion?"
"Sure, definitely, and for sure!" Bao Xu nodded solemnly and said, "Master Song has also been refining pills in our Baodan Building for ten years. How could I have recognized the wrong person?"
At this point, Bao Xu also sighed and continued: "To be honest, when I first got the news today, I couldn't believe it.
“I thought there was something wrong with the news, but after I checked with many sources, I found that there was indeed nothing wrong with the news.
"The one who defeated Mu Lingxuan with the Danhuo technique at the 'Xiandan Discussion Conference' was indeed Song Jie, Master Alchemist Song."
"Are they competing in the art of alchemy and fire, not in alchemy?" Li Caiwei asked the question in her mind.
Bao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, they were just competing in Danhuoshu at that time.
“Fellow Daoist Li is not an alchemist, so he may not know.
“When we alchemists compete, we don’t just have the option of refining pills.
“As long as it’s related to the Dao of Alchemy, anyone can compete.
“It is said that at that time, Alchemist Song was competing with Mu Lingxuan in the alchemy fire technique.
"Moreover, he used the Azure Nether Fire that he bought from our Baodan Building that year to defeat Mu Lingxuan."
Speaking of this, Bao Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
How could he not have expected that Song Jie, who was an ordinary person in Baodan Building back then, would bring him one surprise after another after leaving Baodan Building.
First, in the earliest "Popular Pill Competition", Song Jie participated in the competition with ordinary pills, defeated a group of first-level alchemists, and won the first place in the competition.
Since then, Song Jie seemed to have taken a magic pill. He made rapid progress and created one first-class elixir after another.
Not only did he open a shop in partnership with others, but he also took out Chongmai Dan for sale on the opening day of the shop.
At that time, Bao Xu was already shocked by Song Jie's rise.
Unexpectedly, after years of silence, Song Jie accomplished something big again.
It was the kind of big event that everyone who knew Song Jie's background couldn't believe.
In this regard, Bao Xu could only explain it as Song Jie was too low-key in his daily work and was secretly hiding his true abilities.
Perhaps, when Song Jie was working at Baodan Building, he deliberately acted as if nothing special happened and waited to be fired.
Bao Xu remembered that when Song Jie first came to Xinyuefang Market, in order to have a job to make a living, he signed a 30-year long-term labor contract with Baodanlou.
If Baodanlou did not fire him, Song Jie would have to work there for 30 years before he could choose to leave Baodanlou.
After realizing this, Bao Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with what Song Jie did, and he didn't even think about doing anything to Song Jie.
After all, Song Jie's status and position are no longer what they used to be.
Just as Bao Xu was sighing in his heart, Li Caiwei asked again: "Could it be that Mu Lingxuan is not very good at Danhuoshu?"
She still felt that it was a dream come true for Song Jie to defeat Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius in alchemy.
"This is impossible." Bao Xu shook his head firmly.
Then he continued, "It is said that when Mu Lingxuan was competing in alchemy at the 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference', she refined a first-grade elixir of perfect quality.
“Fellow Daoist Li may not know how difficult it is for a first-level alchemist in the Qi Refining Stage to refine a first-grade elixir of perfect quality.
"Mu Lingxuan can refine a perfect first-grade elixir during the Qi Refining period, which is enough to show that her attainments in the elixir fire technique must be extremely high."
Having said that, Bao Xu took a breath and continued, “It is also because Mu Lingxuan refined a first-grade elixir of perfect quality.
“So, even after she lost to Alchemist Song in the alchemy fire technique competition, she is still the number one alchemy genius in Yunmozhou.
“If Alchemist Song can also refine a first-grade elixir of perfect quality at the ‘Immortal Elixir Discussion Conference’.
“Perhaps, the title of Yunmozhou’s number one alchemy genius will soon change hands.”
After listening to what Bao Xu said, Li Caiwei slowly accepted this explosive news.
"I never thought that Brother Song would be so low-key...
"I never knew that his alchemy skills had reached this level!"
Li Caiwei covered her mouth and chuckled.
She was naturally very happy that Song Jie had such ability.
Bao Xu nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, I couldn't have imagined that...
"It is said that at this 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference', many first-level alchemists came on stage to compete with Mu Lingxuan." "Only Master Song from your Danqi Pavilion defeated Mu Lingxuan in the art of alchemy and fire."
"All other first-level alchemists were defeated by Mu Lingxuan's unparalleled alchemy talent."
"It seems that Mu Lingxuan is also very powerful!" Li Caiwei sighed.
The two of them sighed for a long time about how awesome Song Jie was. Then Li Caiwei asked, "Manager Bao came to my Danqi Pavilion today. Shouldn't he just come to tell me this news?"
"Look at my memory. I was so excited that I almost forgot the important matter.
"This incident has indeed brought me a huge shock. I hope that Fellow Daoist Li will forgive me."
Bao Xu laughed and said, "I came here today to visit Master Song Dan.
"We at Baodan Building are planning to hold an alchemy competition in Xinyuefang City, and would like to invite Master Song to be the referee."
Li Caiwei heard this and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, Alchemist Song is refining the elixir in the alchemy room right now.
"I don't know if he has finished refining a batch of pills. I'll ask him for you."
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Li." Bao Xu bowed slightly to Li Caiwei to express his gratitude.
Li Caiwei waved her hand and said, "Manager Bao, there's no need to be so polite."
Having said that, Li Caiwei turned and walked towards the back hall of the Danqi Pavilion.
After arriving at the door of Song Jie's alchemy room, Li Caiwei knocked on the door gently, stood outside the door, and briefly explained the purpose of Bao Xu's visit.
At this time, Song Jie had just finished refining a furnace of pills. After hearing what Li Caiwei said while standing outside the door, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"Alchemy Competition...
"Please let me be the referee..."
Song Jie stroked his chin and muttered a few words thoughtfully.
Opening the door of the alchemy room, Song Jie looked at Li Caiwei and asked, "Is Manager Bao still in the store?"
"Just wait in the front shop." Li Caiwei nodded slightly.
Song Jie nodded and said, "Then let's meet him in the reception room. Please ask my sister-in-law to bring Manager Bao to the reception room."
Just when he said this, Song Jie changed his words and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
After that, Song Jie and Li Caiwei came to the front store of Danqi Pavilion.
As soon as Bao Xu saw Song Jie, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Master Song Dan, long time no see!
"I never thought that Master Song would go to Danding Sect some time ago, and when he came back, he was already the second best alchemy genius in Yunmozhou."
The second best alchemy genius in Yunmozhou?
Song Jie was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
It seems that my performance at the "Immortal Pill Discussion Conference" has spread to Xinyue Market.
Unexpectedly, those who watched the competition that day gave me the title of “The Second Alchemy Genius in Yunmo Continent”.
Song Jie felt a little amused and helpless.
He had no objection to this title, but he felt a little surprised.
Song Jie's mind raced as he said modestly, "It seems that Director Bao has heard about what happened at the 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference'.
"I just cheated and defeated Mu Lingxuan. I don't deserve the title of the second best alchemy genius."
"Master Song defeated Mu Lingxuan in front of many alchemists from Yunmozhou. Why shouldn't he deserve this title?"
Bao Xu said this with a serious face, as if he would get angry if Song Jie continued to be humble to him.
Song Jie smiled and shook his head. He did not continue the topic and asked, "I heard that Director Bao came here today to find me as a referee?"
"Yes." Bao Xu nodded and said, "This is what happened..."
Just as Bao Xu was about to explain the whole story, Song Jie interrupted him and said with a smile, "Let's go to the back and talk."
"Okay." Bao Xu nodded without saying anything more.
So Song Jie took Bao Xu to the reception room in the back hall.
After they both sat down, Bao Xu couldn't wait to speak: "We at Baodan Building plan to hold an alchemy competition in Xinyuefang City in a month.
“I hope that through this alchemy competition, we can screen out some relatively good alchemy talents.
“Master Song is not only the number one first-class alchemist in Xinyuefang City, but also the second most talented alchemist in Yunmozhou.
"If Master Song is willing to serve as the referee for the alchemy competition, I believe that many people will sign up to participate."
Hearing this, Song Jie made tea and said calmly, "This competition is indeed good, it can stimulate the enthusiasm for alchemy in Xinyuefang City.
“It’s just that I signed a big contract a while ago, and I will be busy refining pills for the next period of time.
"It may be a bit difficult to arrange the time."
Bao Xu was also a smart man and immediately understood the meaning of Song Jie's words.
He immediately smiled and said, "If Master Song is willing to act as a referee, our Baodan Building can give Master Song two first-grade elixir recipes.
“Master Song does not need to swear an oath to the heavens, and can deal with the two first-grade pill recipes at will.
"Whether you want to give it to someone else or teach them how to make the elixir, it's all fine."
Now that Song Jie is also the owner of a shop, Bao Xu is no longer worried that Song Jie will leak the contents of the pill recipe at will.
He believed that Song Jie, who had been running the shop for such a long time, should understand the unspoken rules of some industries.
Moreover, this reward was originally offered by the Lin family.
He just repeated the reward given by the Lin family.
When Song Jie heard the reward Bao Xu mentioned, he was immediately attracted.
Although he now has mastered the methods of refining eight first-grade elixirs, only four of them can be taught to others.
They are Mishen Pills, Chongmai Pills, Xuanyang Pills and Xuanyin Pills.
As for the Rejuvenation Pill and the Restoring Soul Pill, the recipe came from the Danding Sect, and at that time Song Jie made a vow to the Heavenly Dao.
Even though he has proven over the years that the Heavenly Oath is invalid for him, he cannot easily leak the Danding Sect's elixir recipe to others.
As for the Yuanyang Pill and Lingyun Pill, the former has an incredible effect, while the latter will cause people to misunderstand him.
None of them are suitable for teaching others.
He recently planned to recruit several alchemy apprentices with good alchemy talent and spiritual root talent to prepare for his future development in Yunmiao City.
There are only four first-grade elixirs that can be taught to others, which is indeed a bit too few.
Moreover, Chongmai Dan is one of the more difficult ones to refine.
If Chongmai Dan was excluded, then he would only have three kinds of first-grade elixirs to teach others.
This amount of assets is obviously not enough to gain a foothold in Yunmiao City in the future.
So, when Bao Xu proposed that Baodan Tower could give him two first-grade elixir recipes and did not require him to swear an oath to heaven.
Song Jie was immediately attracted.
However, Song Jie, who is well versed in bargaining, understands that this reward is definitely not the bottom line that Baodanlou can afford.
There is still room for bargaining here.
Song Jie thought for a moment and said, "The reward offered by Manager Bao really impresses me.
"only……"
