Chapter 92: Rushing to Recruit Disciples
"I'm the most powerful alchemist in Xicheng Prefecture, you little brat almost lost your life just now, it was me who used two fourth-grade elixirs to snatch your life back from King Yan's clutches, how do you plan on thanking me?" Bai Yao Shi said directly, ignoring the crowd behind him.
"The most powerful alchemist? Sounds like it's really something." Su Ming said with a bewildered expression.
"They all know I'm awesome." Bai Yao Shi said with a completely straight face.
However, he is indeed formidable, at least in Xicheng Prefecture, after all, he is the only fourth-grade alchemist in Xicheng Prefecture.
"You're so capable now, I think there's no need for me to thank you. I'm so poor that I can't even afford clothes, and the ones I'm wearing are still someone else's." Su Ming said with a pitiful expression.
"I don't need your thanks, but you have to be my apprentice." Bai Yao Shi said with a smile.
He has made up his mind to pull Su Ming over to his side and use him as a test subject, even if the master of the mansion is protecting him, he will still snatch him away.
"Alchemist, I don't have a fire attribute, so I won't be able to become an alchemist." Su Ming said with a puzzled expression.
"Who said I was going to teach you alchemy? I'm not only a fourth-grade alchemist, but also a Tianlingyuan perfect warrior. When Fan Li wanted me to be his master, I didn't even agree. You're lucky that I accepted you as my apprentice." Bai Yao Shi said with a very arrogant tone.
Baiyao Shifu finished speaking, Fan Li's face turned black with anger, and he silently shouted in his heart: When did I ever want to acknowledge you as my master? It was you who insisted on taking me as your apprentice back then!
At this time, Su Ming felt that Fan Lei and the master of Ling Dian Temple were making eye contact with him, while the man behind Bai Yao Shi also had an unpleasant expression, it was clear that being a disciple of this old white-haired man was not a good thing.
"Master, hurry up and agree already."
"Really? Why? Don't you think this old man is strange?" Su Ming asked curiously.
"Master, this old man is an alchemist. If you obtain the alchemy formula from him, you can activate the alchemy function in the system."
"Is there also a function for refining medicine in the system?" Su Ming curiously asked.
"Young master, the system is all-powerful, it's just that you need to activate it in order to obtain what you want. Once activated, you can use the dan formulas you possess to autonomously refine dan medicines."
"It's that simple, are there any requirements?" Su Ming's face revealed an excited smile.
"The materials need to be provided by yourself, and there is a certain failure rate. However, when you have a second-grade Dan formula, the success of refining a first-grade Dan medicine will reach 100%, while a second-grade Dan medicine will be 50%."
"Is it that after I obtain the Second-Grade Dan Medicine Formula, I can refine all Second-Grade Dan Medicines?"
"Young master, it's not like that. You can only refine the elixirs for which you have obtained the elixir formula. However, after obtaining a second-grade elixir formula, when you consume a first-grade elixir, even without the formula, this type of elixir can still be refined."
"Your meaning is that the system can autonomously generate Dan formulas through the Dan medicine I swallowed."
"It can be understood this way, but it's based on the premise that you have a high-quality Dan Fang."
Su Ming's face lit up with a smile as he finally understood the function of alchemy. As long as he could obtain the Dan formula, he would become an alchemist himself. From then on, not only would he no longer worry about his own elixir problems, but he could also earn a fortune. After all, any alchemist was bound to be rich and prosperous.
"Have you thought it through, young man?" The old man asked anxiously as Su Ming fell into a daze.
Su Ming nodded: "I agreed."
"Good, you young man indeed have a good eye for things. From now on, you will be my apprentice, White Medicine Master. When I invent some new four-product medicine, I'll definitely let you try it first." The White Medicine Master completely forgot about the loss of three four-product medicines earlier and his face was filled with joy as if he had picked up a treasure.
"Thank you, Master." Su Ming said with a respectful face.
"Su Ming? Don't you need to think about it?" At this time, a middle-aged man behind Bai Yao Shi asked in a low voice.
The middle-aged man thought Su Ming would refuse, so he didn't stop him. Who knew Su Ming agreed in one breath and even called out to the master, which made him have to speak up to stop them.
"It's okay, I've already thought it through." Su Ming didn't recognize the man in front of him at all, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Su Ming, don't be rude, he is the master of Xicheng Prefecture." The master of Lingdian Temple reminded hastily, seeing Su Ming's casual response to the prefecture master.
"What? Master."
Su Ming's body trembled, and he was deeply perplexed, wondering how even the master of the mansion had arrived.
"I'll ask you again, do you need to reconsider?" said the master of the house with a serious face.
"Your Honor, I have already promised Bai Yao Shi. A person cannot be insincere in their words." Su Ming stood up from the ground and slightly bowed to the Magistrate, speaking with a respectful expression.
After the master of the Spiritual Temple announced the identity of the middle-aged man, Mu Tian and others dispersed on their own. At this time, they were all shocked in their hearts. What was Su Ming's identity after all? Not only did he mobilize a fourth-grade alchemy master from the Western City Palace, but even the palace master himself came in person, which was really...
After the crowd dispersed, Tang Xinyi saw Su Ming. When she saw Su Ming get up unscathed, a look of astonishment appeared on her face. Just now, Su Ming was clearly on the verge of death, but in just a short while, he was as normal as anyone else? This was too unbelievable.
"Then I'll take you as my apprentice?" The master of the house said with a faint smile.
"Prefect, this..." Su Ming suddenly felt a little lightheaded.
What's going on here? I just got into a couple of fights, how come one by one they all came to take me as their apprentice.
"Sū Míng, I think it's better for you to join the Ling Dian after all. The Ling Dian is the most suitable place in Xī Chéng Fǔ for a pre-heavenly martial artist like you to cultivate." The master of the Ling Dian spoke under pressure, he didn't want Sū Míng to be snatched away right at the door of the Ling Dian. With Sū Míng's potential, it was only a matter of time before he became a powerful figure, and by then, regret would come too late.
"Little elf, can you tell me what's going on here?" Su Ming was stunned by the three people in front of him and had no idea what they were doing.
The little elf told Su Ming about what happened after he was seriously injured and fainted earlier. When he heard that the white-haired old man had given him a Waste Spirit Pill and a half-finished pill, a spark of fire ignited in his heart, and at the same time, he also knew that White Medicine Master took him as an apprentice to test those half-finished pills on him.
Under the explanation of the little elf, Su Ming finally understood that on the entire Continent of Sealing Gods, only two types of elixirs were effective for him. One was the elixir that increased his internal spiritual power and the other was the healing elixir. All other elixirs had no effect on Su Ming. These two elixirs could be obtained by Su Ming through tasks, while other elixirs required Su Ming to activate the alchemy system and refine them himself.
After understanding the situation, Su Ming had his own thoughts. He glanced at Old Man Bai and secretly smiled to himself: Since you're plotting against me, I'll make you pay a price for it.
