Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

In the end, under Jia Chan's persuasion, Xiao Ruoyao did not go to work for Feng Shao. After all, the majestic mistress of Yunjian Pavilion is still Feng Shao's mother-in-law. If she really does this, it won't be Xiao Ruoyao's own face that will be humiliated.

Xiao Ruoyao's personality was quite out-of-the-box before she got married. After getting married, she became more restrained. After giving birth to Lin Xiao, she became much more stable. But few people know that Xiao Ruoyao's out-of-touch temper still breaks out from time to time, just like now.

In the next few days, Jia Chan was busy with the affairs of Qingxing Hall, while Xiao Ruoyao helped.

Qin Tianshu naturally disliked Qingxingtang in every possible way, but because Xiao Ruoyao was in charge, he did not dare to go there and cause trouble. But the anger in his heart was simmering, and he finally vented it all on the person who asked for the elixir.

In the past few days, dozens of people came to ask for elixirs, but most of them were sent away by Qin Tianshu. Only a handful of people who had some friendship with Qin Tianshu and paid a lot of money were able to successfully ask for elixirs. As for those who were sent away directly, they had no choice but to turn around and run to Qingxing Hall to ask for elixirs. Jia Chan agreed to all these people's requests, and everyone got the elixir they needed.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tianshu couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The art of alchemy is the art of creating heaven and earth, the method of cleverly seizing heaven's secrets. You seem to be unwilling to reject anyone who comes, and you have simply lost the face of us alchemists. , I’m really ashamed to be with you!”

Jia Chan smiled slightly and said: "When I was just learning medicine as a little girl, my master once said: We who are studying medicine, whether we are asking for diagnosis and treatment or refining elixirs and acupuncture, all are to save people's lives. Life is here. In the eyes of doctors, there is no distinction. The little girl just hates that her ability is limited and she cannot benefit the world. But if there are more people like the little girl who can benefit the world, there will be many fewer patients in the world. "

Qin Tianshu was left speechless, and angrily waved his sleeves and said: "It's really a rotten tree that cannot be carved!"

Jia Chan just laughed at Qin Tianshu's words.

Of course Jia Chan's energy is not enough to refine so many elixirs. But she has accepted many apprentices, and quite a few of these apprentices even graduated from Wuling City Cultivation Academy. Although these apprentices are not as good as Jia Chan in their alchemy skills, their skills are already quite good, and they are at least proficient in refining mid-level and low-level elixirs.

Qingxingtang also relied on so many people to work together to refine the elixirs, so that it was able to have enough elixirs to sell.

But Qin Tianshu sneered at this.

Qin Tianshu is very conceited. His arrogance is not only reflected in his confidence in his alchemy skills, but also in his excessive maintenance of his alchemy skills. He has always believed that only the true geniuses are qualified to touch the real alchemy, and those without qualifications should stay away from this advanced technology.

Therefore, although Qin Tianshu also accepted many apprentices, most of them were only registered disciples. These registered disciples could only do odd jobs for Qin Tianshu, such as collecting herbs and sorting medicinal materials. As for the real alchemy skills, they only know the most superficial and simple ones. It's not that they can't learn, it's that Qin Tianshu doesn't teach at all.

There are only three recognized true disciples under Qin Tianshu's sect, and the qualifications of these three true disciples are indeed good. However, because Qin Tianshu valued the status of alchemy too much, he had reservations in teaching alchemy and was unwilling to teach it with all his money. Therefore, the level of his three true disciples is really limited.

The only alchemy genius recognized by Qin Tianshu was Chu Qing. If Chu Qing was willing to learn alchemy from him, he would definitely teach everything he knew without reservation.

As a result, the only people in the entire Alchemy Pavilion who can refine alchemy are Qin Tianshu and his four disciples, and three of them can only refine low-level elixirs. If you want to refine mid-level and high-level ones, you can only rely on Qin Tianshu himself. Qin Tianshu's energy is naturally limited. In addition, he is unwilling to overwork himself, so the output of the Alchemy Pavilion is very limited. With limited output, the price of elixirs from the Alchemy Pavilion is naturally ridiculously high.

On this day, a monk in gray clothes knelt in front of the alchemy pavilion and asked Qin Tianshu for a life-extending pill to extend the life of his mortal father. But Qin Tianshu ignored the gray-clothed monk's request.

The monk in gray knelt for three days and three nights, but still failed to obtain the elixir. In the end, in a hurry, the gray-clothed monk took advantage of Qin Tianshu's door and hugged Qin Tianshu's thigh tightly, begging with tears in his eyes.

Qin Tianshu was furious and beat the gray-clothed monk so hard that the gray-clothed monk was dying and almost died.

Finally, it was Jia Chan who ordered the monks in gray clothes to be carried into Qingxing Hall and treated with care. Not only did he successfully revive the monk in gray, he also sold him a life-extending pill.

The gray-clothed monk was extremely grateful to Jia Chan, kowtowed in thanks, and then flew away with his sword.

After the gray-clothed monk left, Qin Tianshu sarcastically said to Jia Chan: "You little girl really has no backbone at all. Even such a person needs to be treated."

Jia Chan smiled and said: "In front of doctors, there is no distinction between high and low."

Afterwards, Jia Chan returned to Qingxing Hall and ignored Qin Tianshu.

After such things happened many times, Qingxingtang's reputation became more and more famous.

On the one hand, the store is aggressive and overpriced, but on the other hand, it is friendly and high-quality at a low price. Over time, more and more people began to choose Qingxing Hall instead of Alchemy Pavilion. The front door of the Alchemy Pavilion is crowded, but the front door of Qingxing Hall is packed with guests.

On the surface, Qin Tianshu seemed to be dismissive of what Qingxingtang did, but the gradually gloomy look on his face reflected his psychological changes. There were a few times when he almost couldn't hold back his violence and ran into Qingxingtang to fight. Finally, Xiao Ruoyao, who never left, let him keep the last bit of rationality.

All this lasted until Chu Qing arrived.

Chu Qing flew for several days before finally flying to Qingyan City. As soon as he arrived in Qingyan City, he went straight to the Alchemy Pavilion and cried to Qin Tianshu.

"Old Qin, I failed your expectations. Tang Fei led a large number of magic masters to attack Tianlei City on the day of the alliance. City Lord Lei Guang and my elder and second brothers died in battle, and all the people in the alliance have been killed or injured. I feel ashamed of Old Qin and wish I could thank you with my death!"

Looking at Chu Qing crying and listening to Chu Qing's shocking news, Qin Tianshu felt his eyelids twitching and his back was cold.

What? The connections I worked so hard to bring you were easily lost in Tianlei City? Not a single one escaped?

Although Qin Tianshu did not participate in the struggle for power and profit, he also needed connections. After all, the alchemy industry requires all kinds of medicinal materials. Some medicinal materials are easy to find, and you can find a basket of them by digging on any hill. But some medicinal materials are hard to find, and you may not find a single one even if you search the entire upper domain.

In order to obtain a steady supply of medicinal materials, Qin Tianshu deliberately made friends with those who have channels for medicinal material supply. Half of the reason why he was able to cultivate the art of alchemy to the pinnacle was because of these connections.

But now, you tell me that you have lost all my connections?

Where can I buy medicinal materials in the future? Without high-quality medicinal materials, how can I refine high-quality pills?

When Qin Tianshu thought of this, he felt a tightness in his chest and almost spit out blood.

If it were someone else, Qin Tianshu would have cursed and punched and kicked. But Chu Qing was the young man he valued and admired the most after all, and Qin Tianshu couldn't bear to blame him. So in the end, he had to curse Tang Fei and others.

This curse lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

After the scolding, Qin Tianshu felt that the pent-up anger in his chest had dissipated a lot, and then he said breathlessly: "Chu boy, the dead are gone, and there is nothing we can do about it. What do you think we should do now?"

Chu Qing said with a ferocious face: "Tang Fei and others are doing evil things and taking human lives lightly. Everyone can kill them! Although they won a great victory in this battle, the root of the disaster has been planted, and the disaster is imminent. The saints of Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect all died at their hands, and thousands of children from aristocratic families were slaughtered by them. It is difficult to offend the public anger, and they will be punished by the people of the world, and there will be no place for them in the world!"

This was not Chu Qing's words to comfort Qin Tianshu, but he really thought so in his heart. In his opinion, Tang Fei and others were happy after killing people in Tianlei City, but the sins they committed would sooner or later be settled by Chongyang Xuanlei Sect and many aristocratic families. The two sides are already deadly enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

And this is Chu Qing's chance to rise again. He has full confidence that he can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fire.

It's a pity that many of the beautiful female cultivators he has set his eyes on also died in Tianlei City, and he has no chance to enjoy the joy of love with them. It's really a pity.

Hearing Chu Qing say this, Qin Tianshu felt a little comforted. He patted Chu Qing on the shoulder and sighed, "Everyone has their own destiny, and it is difficult to defy God's will. They died in Tianlei City, maybe they were destined to have this disaster, and you don't need to blame yourself too much. The most urgent thing is to find a way to regroup, avenge the people who died in Tianlei City, and give them justice!"

As he said, Qin Tianshu helped Chu Qing, who was prostrating on the ground, up. After Chu Qing stood up tremblingly, he suddenly stumbled, and then suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then his eyes rolled back and he fell into a coma. Qin Tianshu saw this and quickly ordered his servants to send Chu Qing to the wing room.

After some treatment, Chu Qing's internal injuries were temporarily stabilized. Qin Tianshu looked at Chu Qing's pale face, and a trace of worry flashed across his face.

No matter how he tried to comfort himself, Qin Tianshu could not easily let go of the fact that he had lost so many connections. Although Chu Qing vowed to make a comeback, two consecutive failures had made Qin Tianshu doubt Chu Qing's ability.

He even couldn't help asking himself in his heart: Is it worth it to support Chu Qing at all costs?
