C33 Sharp Apothecary
C33 Sharp Apothecary
Further in was a long counter covered with expensive red blankets. There were already a few alchemist dressed in the clothing of the One Origin Sect seated at the back.
This was just a hurdle. If the pill he took out was not at the third stage, he would not need to participate in the registration process and could just directly return home.
Uncle Sun glanced at Xia Yanru complacently and took the lead. He had come prepared this time, of course, he had to show off!
The old man following behind him was a fifth ranked alchemist from Sun Family!
Seated at the center of the counter was a young apothecary. Even though he only looked to be in his early thirties, he was still an apothecary. However, there were a total of five silver inscriptions on his collar! This was also a grade-5 apothecary.
Even the old man beside Uncle Sun was surprised. He had struggled for most of his life to reach his current height. Who would have thought that such a young man would be at the fifth level of cultivation with him!
One Origin Sect were indeed extraordinary.
Lee Weicheng, who was sitting behind the counter, was actually a bit impatient. He had already been sitting here appraising the pill for several hours.
He was a genius, a fifth rank apothecary! How could he do the work which even an apprentice apothecary like him could do? Lee Weicheng had a lot of resentment in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. There were simply too many fifth-grade apothecaries in One Origin Sect. Even if he, Lee Weicheng, had outstanding talent, he could only do this kind of thing.
After all, he couldn't possibly let an even more respected alchemist with Sixth Class sit here, right?
Honestly speaking, Lee Weicheng really did look down on Ningnan City's pill refining skills. In this remote place, what kind of good pill could it produce? From his point of view, the Alchemist Sacred Ground's number one was One Origin Sect, followed by the capital, which could be considered as having a bit of real talent. As for the other places, they were simply deserts for concocting pills!
However, Lee Weicheng had to sit here, and he could only casually appraise the pill that the registrant brought. However, regardless of their rank, they were harshly criticized!
At this time, Wu Shuang Ren brought a embroidered box in front of Lee Weicheng, and gently opened it: "We are Ningnan City, this is the pill we brought, Sixth Class pill, Scarlet Fire Pill!"
After he finished speaking, he was extremely pleased with himself. Amongst a group of third grade pill, the Scarlet Flame Pill was like a crane in a flock of chickens!
Indeed, even Lee Weicheng, who had a look of disdain on his face, couldn't help but exclaim.
I never thought that there would be a Sixth Class pill here.
His attitude was a bit more serious. He picked up the embroidered box and carefully examined it with various tools.
Not long after, Lee Weicheng raised his head and a proud expression appeared on his face again. He opened his mouth and said: "It can still be considered to be difficult, but at any rate, he's a pill of the Sixth Class. On the other hand, I do not have any problems with the pill, but I do not dare to compliment your methods. "
What?
Uncle Sun Ren's expression froze. The fifth rank apothecary also raised his head with a look of disbelief on his face.
This young man was so rude when he spoke?
Lee Weicheng didn't even look at their expressions and just continued, "Look, the entire surface of the pill is not smooth. It should be polished by hand, right? This had long been outdated in One Origin Sect. "Because the Scarlet Fire Pill requires one's mouth to stimulate their power, the uneven surface is not conducive to a stable thermal output, so this is a big failure."
Lee Weicheng glanced at Uncle Sun and continued: "Secondly, there are too many impurities in the pill. This method, which is crude to the point of being an amateur, will be severely scolded inside our One Origin Sect! "
With just a few words, Uncle Sun's jaw dropped. The fifth-grade alchemist's face was flushed red as he panted heavily, his chest heaving up and down like a bellows. He was an alchemist in his fifties who was at least twice Lee Weicheng's age, but he was actually criticized so harshly!
However, he did not dare resist, as this was the territory of the One Origin Sect. As an alchemist, what kind of ending would he have after offending the One Origin Sect?
Plus, although Lee Weicheng was sharp, he couldn't find anything wrong with his words, so he could only keep silent.
At this moment, Lee Weicheng also finished talking. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Next."
Xia Ling walked over with a brocade bag.
Uncle Sun didn't leave. He looked a bit sinister. He had lost so much face in front of Xia Yanru. How could he leave just like that? With such a strict examination, he wanted to see how the Xia Family alchemists would treat this!
He might even just send someone to chase him out.
Xia Yanru, who was standing behind him, also broke out in a cold sweat. Even though she was very confident in Xia Ling, this alchemist in front of her was clearly not an easy opponent. Even a grade-5 apothecary was criticized to be useless. Will Xia Ling be able to successfully pass the examination?
Seeing Xia Ling, Lee Weicheng was also stunned. He didn't expect the next apothecary to be so young.
He's only a teenager, but he's far too young! He's simply too young!
Lee Weicheng couldn't help but to let out a breath through his nose. The deacon on duty was simply an idiot. Couldn't they check it first? What is such a small apothecary doing in here? Is he wasting his time?
Or did they think that everyone was a young genius like him?
However, Xia Ling had already entered, so he couldn't just kick him out. However, the impatience on his face deepened as he reached out to take the silk bag from Xia Ling.
Lee Weicheng's actions were a bit rough as he tore open the sack. Due to the strength being a little too strong, two gray pill fell onto the table. Following which, a rich fragrance wafted out.
Lee Weicheng picked one up and looked at it carefully. What is this?
The surface was rough and dull, as gray as dust. If it wasn't for the fragrance, he would have thought that it was just roadside dirt.
This thing should only be a fragrant ball, right? Furthermore, it was such a crudely crafted incense ball!
Anger suddenly rose in Lee Weicheng's heart. This was exactly how he, a genius apothecary, wasted his time!
He suddenly stood up and roared: "What is this, is this also a pill? Don't joke with me, kid. "Let me tell you, refining pills is a noble learning, and I cannot allow you to sully it like this!"
"This is absolutely not a third stage pill. Now, scram!"
The entire corridor fell into an eerie silence. No one had ever seen such an irritable Tier 5 apothecary before. Then a high-pitched voice broke the silence. Uncle Sun Ren beamed and shouted, "That's right, well said, let's go quickly. Do you still want to wait for them to attack you? "
This young master of the Sun Family was simply overjoyed, thinking that his Xia Family had found some unknown expert from somewhere.
Xia Yanru would also do the same thing!
Xia Ling, who was standing in front of Lee Weicheng, also showed a trace of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that thirty thousand years later, a fifth rank apothecary would be unable to recognise this.
The way he looked at Lee Weicheng was full of pity. In the field of alchemy, what a pitiful ignorance.
