"This Master Gu Ni is quite skilled."
Liu Xi left the Mittel auction house feeling completely satisfied.
He visited Alchemist Gu Ni to exchange experiences as a second-grade alchemist.
Although he had a master who was a third-grade alchemist.
However, since his master was not by his side, he was only taught some knowledge about refining first-grade pills and controlling fire.
He felt he had completely mastered the first-class skill.
Although some knowledge of alchemy at the second rank was mentioned, it was not in-depth enough.
After a deep exchange with Alchemist Gu Ni, Liu Xi gained a lot.
...
On the other side, Liu and Xi had just left.
Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni then began to discuss it.
"Uncle Gu Ni, what do you think of this Willow Mat Alchemist?"
Without turning her head, Ya Fei asked the alchemist Gu Ni.
However, Alchemist Gu Ni did not reply to her for a long time.
Ya Fei turned her head in confusion and saw Gu Ni, the alchemist, holding a perfect first-grade pill and studying it with great interest.
He kept clicking his tongue in amazement:
"Talent! What a talent! To be able to refine a first-grade pill to such a peak and perfect level at the mere Dou Zhe realm, even I, an old man, have never refined a few perfect first-grade pills in my entire life. This Liu Xi is truly a genius in alchemy!"
Gu Ni is a second-grade alchemist, but his strength is that of a Great Dou Master.
He couldn't break through to the third-grade alchemist level for half his life, but he had indeed studied first- and second-grade pills extremely thoroughly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become a full-time appraiser at Mittel Auction House.
However, even though he had dedicated half his life to studying first- and second-grade pills, he still couldn't produce low-grade pills of perfect quality as easily as Liu Xi.
Even if he wanted to refine a perfect first-grade pill, he still needed to rely on luck.
But Liu Xi had just pulled out several perfect-quality first-grade pills.
Such a grand gesture.
Even the alchemist Gu Ni was quite shocked.
In order to learn from Liu Xi's experience in refining perfect quality pills, Alchemist Gu Ni also shared all his experience as a second-grade alchemist.
Whether he kept it to himself or not, Liu Xi didn't know, but he certainly gained a lot.
"Uncle Gu Ni".
Seeing that Gu Ni ignored her, Ya Fei had no choice but to raise her voice and call him again.
"Huh? Ya Fei, are you calling me?"
Gu Ni looked up in confusion and glanced left and right.
Snap!
Ya Fei helplessly covered half of her forehead.
Being an alchemist has its downsides.
So focused!
He doesn't notice when others talk to him.
"Uncle Gu Ni, I'm asking you, what do you think of this willow mat?"
Ya Fei could only repeat it helplessly.
"Liu Xi? A genius in alchemy! A true genius in alchemy!"
"In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen such a young genius who has mastered alchemy to such a pinnacle!"
"This Liu Xi has a bright future ahead of him!"
Without hesitation, the alchemist Gu Ni showered Liu Xi with lavish praise.
His impassioned manner made it seem as if he wanted to praise the willow mat to the heavens.
"How about comparing it to that black-robed alchemist?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ya Fei's mind, and she tentatively asked.
"this..."
Alchemist Gu Ni hesitated for a moment.
It seems impossible to draw a conclusion immediately.
However, after only a few seconds of hesitation, he said with certainty:
"They can't be compared. Liu Xi and that black-robed alchemist are incomparable!"
"Um?"
Ya Fei raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked in astonishment:
"Uncle Gu Ni, do you think this Willow Mat Alchemist is inferior to that Black Robe Alchemist?"
"No!"
Alchemist Gu Ni shook his head decisively.
"I mean, this Liu Xi is no match for the person behind that little guy in the black robe disguised as an old man!"
"However, if we only compare this willow mat with that little fellow dressed in black robes and disguised as an old man, it's more than enough!"
Even someone who can't perfectly disguise himself, Alchemist Gu Ni doesn't believe that he, at the first-grade alchemist level, can achieve the same level of effortless skill as Liu Xi in producing perfect first-grade pills.
All I can say is that the little guy has met a good teacher.
However, if we're really talking about talent in alchemy, he probably can't compare to this first-grade alchemist, Liu Xi.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu Ni, Ya Fei understands!"
After being enlightened by the alchemist Gu Ni, Ya Fei immediately understood the key point.
Through several encounters, Ya Fei had already determined that the black-robed alchemist was a naive young man.
However, in order to cooperate with the people behind him, she pretended not to know and did not expose him.
The black-robed alchemist, and the one behind him, is indeed very strong.
He can easily refine a fourth-grade Qi-gathering elixir.
But that doesn't mean that the little guy in the black robe is strong.
All I can say is that the little guy was a bit lucky.
But Liu Xi's skill is genuine and of the highest quality.
In that instant, the scales in Ya Fei's heart began to tip slightly...
...
Back to the Jialie family.
Liu Xi began to devote himself to refining medicine and cultivating diligently.
He bought a large quantity of common medicinal herbs, partly to practice and partly to build up his savings.
He had neither a system nor the old man with the ring.
Now that my master isn't around, I can only rely on myself.
Liu Xi had no intention of refining second-grade pills.
Because even if you try to refine it, you can't succeed.
The original novel states that a second-grade alchemist must be at least at the Battle Master level.
Otherwise, the internal fighting spirit will not be able to keep up with the consumption of medicine, and taking Qi-restoring pills will not help.
Liu Xi did not intend to cooperate with the Jialie family to sell ordinary pills.
Firstly, it would easily incur the hatred of the Xiao family.
In the original story, the Xiao family planned to kill him, the alchemist, in order to seize market share.
Secondly, the profit margin for ordinary pills is not large.
It's the genuine, top-grade pills, especially those of perfect quality, that generate the greatest profit.
As for the seller, Liu Xi had already made up his mind.
That is the Mittel auction house.
He sold them all at the Mittel auction house.
Surely the Xiao family isn't so heartless as to want to kill him.
As for the Jia Lie family, they will provide him with good food and drink every day, and they will also give him some benefits in return.
...
While Liu Xi was diligently refining medicine and cultivating himself,
In a cave on the back mountain of the Xiao family.
"Congratulations, little guy, you've successfully concocted your first potion!"
The one speaking was an illusory soul.
"Hehe, from now on, I can be considered an alchemist!"
Opposite the illusory soul, a boy with delicate features but not particularly handsome held a bottle filled with a deep red liquid and chuckled foolishly.
...
"Hmm, why do I always feel that repairing chains during the day is more effective than repairing them at night!?"
After refining pills all day, Liu Xi discovered something unusual.
His chain repair work was several times better during the day than at night.
Moreover, I always feel refreshed and energetic after each chain repair.
It's like taking a powerful tonic.
Even his Dou Qi vortex, which had just broken through to the second star of Dou Zhe, visibly expanded by a large circle.
It seems that after a few more repairs, he will likely break through again and become a three-star fighter.
This unusual situation left Liu Xi completely baffled.
