Chapter 59 Shang Yunfeng

Just as the two chatted outside the door...

The door of the alchemy room was also opened, revealing Ji Bochang's slightly haggard face...

Seeing shopkeeper Hu and a middle-aged man outside the alchemy room, he was slightly taken aback, and after regaining his senses, he cupped his hands and asked with a smile, "Treasurer Hu, who is this fellow Taoist?"

"I told you before."

Shopkeeper Hu smiled slightly, and introduced: "This is another second-ranked alchemist Keqing in the No. [-] square of Xianxia Mountain in my pavilion, Shang Yunfeng Shang Daoyou."

"Oh~"

Ji Bochang bowed his hands to him with a look of surprise on his face, and greeted him politely: "Ji is a late student, and I heard from shopkeeper Hu that there is a second-ranked alchemist in the pavilion, Ke Qing, who has long been itchy and wants to make friends. Ji feels honored to meet you today."

"Ji Daoyou doesn't need to be polite."

Shang Yunfeng smiled indifferently, but he didn't intend to return the gift at all.

He seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Since Daoyou Ji has left the customs, presumably the three furnaces and two rounds of pills have been refined?"

"It's a fluke."

Uncle Ji saw that not only did he not have the slightest intention of returning the gift, but also that there seemed to be a hint of hostility in his words, so his eyes moved slightly between him and Shopkeeper Huhu.

"I'm done practicing~"

Shang Yunfeng nodded in a senior manner, and said: "Shang also wants to see what kind of demeanor the second-rank alchemist that shopkeeper Hu valued is like."

Shopkeeper Hu at the side also smiled when he heard the words, and asked: "Friend Ji Daoyou, I don't know how to make alchemy this time? What is the product of the alchemy?"

"Three Furnaces, I was lucky enough to refine six Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Three furnaces, six pieces?"

Shopkeeper Hu and Shang Yunfeng had very different expressions after hearing the words, and the former had an obvious smile on his face;

And the latter's complexion was a little dark...

"What is the product of Dan?"

Ji Bochang took out a jade bottle and explained: "One low-grade jade bottle, two middle-grade jade bottles, and two high-grade jade bottles. By luck, I got a high-quality foundation-building pill."

"Exquisite foundation building pill?"

Shang Yunfeng's face froze when he heard the words, and after he came back to his senses, he said in embarrassment: "Ji Daoyou refined the second-rank pill for the first time, and can you refine the high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"To be precise, it's not the first time..."

Ji Bochang shook his head, and explained: "Ji almost failed in the first refining furnace, and only refined a low-grade foundation building pill;

After getting acquainted with each other, the success rate of the second batch of pills is also higher, and one of the built-up pills refined is of middle grade and one of top grade;

In the third furnace, after absorbing the experience of the previous two times, three pills were lucky enough to be made, one was in the middle grade, one was in the top grade, and one was in the high grade. "

"Hehehehe~ what a fluke~"

Shopkeeper Hu couldn't bear it any longer when he heard the words, clapped his palms and laughed out loud, then took three jade bottles, pulled them out and poured out Zhuji Dan for testing.

First of all, spiritual exploration...

Then he fanned his nose next to the elixir, sniffing the elixir and couldn't help but be speechless...

While praising Ji Bochang, he also glanced at Shang Yunfeng beside him from the corner of his eye. Seeing that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he felt even more relieved.

He put the fine-looking Foundation Establishment Pill back into the jade bottle, handed it to Shang Yunfeng, and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Shang, do you need to test the authenticity of this fine-quality Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"..."

Shang Yunfeng was originally a rank two alchemist, when he saw the color of the pill and smelled the fragrance of the pill, he knew that it was a high-quality foundation-building pill.

Besides, even without this high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, with just those two top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, he declared that he had lost the bet, and testing other people's high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills would be tantamount to humiliating himself!
"No need, Ji Daoyou's alchemy talent is far above Shang's, Shang's admiration!"

Shang Yunfeng's eyes moved slightly and he cupped his hands at Ji Bochang, then he looked at shopkeeper Hu and said, "Shang's lost spirit stones will be cleared tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked away with a cold snort.

"This……"

Ji Bochang frowned and looked at his leaving back, then he recovered and glanced at Shopkeeper Hu.

Immediately, he seemed to have realized something, and asked in a cold voice: "From what Fellow Daoist Shang said, shopkeeper Hu is gambling with someone Ji?"

"It's a long story."

Shopkeeper Hu sighed when he saw this, returned the three jade bottles and said: "This old man knows that what he did was unethical, and it is normal for Ji Daoyou to have resentment..."

His voice paused, and then he sincerely invited: "If you don't dislike Ji Daoyou, why don't you go to the old man to hear the reason?"

"Ji didn't want to be troublesome, but now he annoyed a second-rank alchemist for no reason."

Ji Bochang took a long breath of relief, and then said seriously: "It's better for shopkeeper Hu to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise Ji will definitely pursue this matter!"

"As it should be..."

Shopkeeper Hu sighed and nodded, then led him to the room where he received the foundation-building monks, and poured the tea himself.

Seeing that his face was still ugly, he said sincerely: "As far as this matter is concerned, I will first apologize to Fellow Daoist Ji."

"Why?"

Ji Bochang shook his head, and said: "Ji has made a elixir, and for no apparent reason he has been treated as a pawn and a thorn in his side. I still don't know why!"

"It's a long story..."

Shopkeeper Hu pondered for a while, as if he had organized his words, and said, "Shang Yunfeng was not originally a monk from our No. [-] workshop in Xianxia Mountain.

It's a balance from other places...

Originally, I saw that he was a guest in the pavilion, and he was a good receptionist and never treated him badly. I never thought that this person looks elegant and easy-going on the surface, but in fact he is greedy in his heart.

Not only relying on his status as a second-turn alchemist, he was too demanding, but he even wanted to unite with several other guest officials to empty me out. "

Uncle Ji frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Can the guest in the pavilion make the shopkeeper empty?"

"This matter is regarded as my cabinet's system, and outsiders rarely know about it, but Ji Daoyou has now become my cabinet's guest secretary, so he is no longer an outsider."

Shopkeeper Hu sighed, and explained: "The shopkeeper of my cabinet is not static, the chief cabinet will issue task evaluations every once in a while, and will also review the income at the same time.

The task is basically completed by the guest ministers who are temporarily in the cabinet, and the income depends on the operation of the treasurer in the cabinet.

If the standard is met, then the shopkeeper will naturally continue to work. If it fails to meet the standard many times, the status of shopkeeper will be removed by the general cabinet, and a shopkeeper nearby will be replaced to operate the business in the cabinet.

And that Shang Yunfeng valued this point, and tripped me up many times during the review of the general cabinet, thinking of dragging me into the water and letting him take my place.

This kind of competition is also within the rules, and it is tacitly approved by the cabinet, so I have nothing to do with him.

Of course, I also resolved the stumbling blocks he made a few times ago, and there is nothing he can do if he takes me for a while.

Although everyone is tearing their skins apart, they are still polite on the surface.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about you.

Relying on his status as a second-turn alchemist, he formed a clique in the pavilion. Although it was useless, it was always a trouble. "

"..."

Uncle Ji nodded thoughtfully, and said, "So when Ji was making alchemy, shopkeeper Hu tried to use this to induce him to make a bet, which made him suffer a big loss?"

"good…"

Shopkeeper Hu nodded slightly, and said: "Shang Yunfeng is arrogant, I only tried to provoke him, and he fell into the trap.

The bet is 100 yuan for high-grade spirit stones, which are worth a fortune to most foundation-building monks.

When I set up the bet just now, I used the photo stone. He is a guest in the pavilion. If he still wants to live in my Baibao Pavilion, he will definitely not renege on his debt...

If he wants to renege on his debts, he has to go to other places to ask for a living, and I don't have to be wary of him. "

"Shopkeeper Hu has a good plan!"

Ji Bochang had no interest in the dirty things between them, and said with a displeased expression: "According to Shopkeeper Hu, that Shang Yunfeng is not a magnanimous person.

And Ji made him a big loss, wouldn't he become a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh?

Shopkeeper Hu has a high level of cultivation, and with the trump card of Shopkeeper Baibaoge in his hand, Shang Yunfeng has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Hu..."

His voice paused, and he said with some resentment: "But Ji is just a small casual cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi refining, and has become a tool for your internal friction for no reason. How can this matter be resolved?"
