C1069 Invitation from the pill king
After hearing Chen Xiao's orders, Xue Changshan walked to the stall, and said to the people who were still waiting in line: "It's getting late, we'll end it here today. Everyone disperse, we'll come back tomorrow! "Those who trust us, can also come to register, leave their medicinal herbs behind, and come back tomorrow to collect their pills on their account!"
Using his name to obtain the pill was what Chen Xiao had told Xue Changshan. If it was because of these people, Chen Xiao wouldn't mind helping them refine the pill at night.
With Chen Xiao's current pill refining ability, he could easily control two or even three batches of pills at the same time. However, he would definitely not reveal it in front of others, and even Chen Xiao had deliberately slowed down his speed of refining pills.
Otherwise, a single mistake could attract the attention of many people.
However, in order to earn this sum, Chen Xiao felt that taking a bit of risk was worth it.
After Xue Changshan finished speaking, many people began to hesitate.
After all, if someone were to suddenly pass something worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins to a stranger to take away, no one would be able to rest at ease, even if that person was an apothecary!
What if the other party didn't come tomorrow?
What if the other party suddenly left because of something?
Where are they going to find someone to reason with?
Therefore, many people hesitated.
Regarding this, Xue Changshan also expressed his understanding, he did not say another word, and did not try to persuade them, which was also Chen Xiao's intention.
However, people had different thoughts, in the end, some people still trusted Chen Xiao more. After hesitating for a bit, they still went up to register to obtain their number plates.
As for the remaining people, they had no choice but to disperse.
Quickly, those who had already been registered also left. At the same time, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Just as Chen Xiao was about to pack up, four people suddenly walked over.
Chen Xiao lifted his head to take a glance, but was slightly stunned.
Chen Xiao had only seen those four during the day, and they were extremely famous!
This was because they were Pill King Huang Shaoliang and his followers.
Huang Shao and his group slowly walked from afar, until they finally stopped in front of Chen Xiao's booth.
Huang Shao's gaze swept across Xue Changshan's body, and finally landed on Chen Xiao's body.
When he saw that Chen Xiao was also looking at him with a gaze that was not humble, Huang Shao's gaze couldn't help but light up. Unexpectedly, his serious face couldn't help but reveal a bit of a smile as he looked at Chen Xiao and said: "I am Huang Shao, the Pill Assembly's certified third grade Pill King.
Chen Xiao had originally thought that the other party was here to cause trouble, but after seeing his actions, his face revealed a bit of a smile, and stood up: "I am Chen Xiao, I lack some materials on the way, so I am here to start pill refining, hopefully I will not disturb Pill Master Huang!"
These words explained why he had started concocting pills here, as well as why he had lowered his attitude. It could also be considered a sign of friendship.
After all, the other party had indeed come here first, and was busy concocting pills and doing business over there. Chen Xiao suddenly ran over and interjected, to put it bluntly, it could be said that he had caused a ruckus.
However, the other party was clearly not angry, this indicated that he was extremely intelligent, and maybe not jealous either. Otherwise, he would never speak to Chen Xiao in such a manner.
And it was precisely because of this that Chen Xiao had a good impression of him.
As for Huang Shao, after hearing Chen Xiao's words, his brows couldn't help but slightly furrow as he tried to think of a rumor about Chen Xiao in his mind.
But unfortunately, he had never heard of Chen Xiao, which made him somewhat surprised.
Judging from the pill that Chen Xiao had refined earlier, Chen Xiao was at least a Rank 3 Pill King!
If a person of this level had already been certified in the Pill Assembly, there was no reason why he would not have heard of it.
Could it be the newly promoted Pill King?
Or perhaps …
"So it's Chen Little Friend. I wonder if Chen Little Friend has already participated in the Pill Assembly's qualification test?" Huang Shao said slowly, at the same time his gaze landed on Chen Xiao.
"Pill King assessment?" Chen Xiao frowned, and slowly shook his head: "I have never participated in it before!"
Hearing that Chen Xiao had said that he didn't participate, Huang Shao could not help but reveal a slightly astonished expression: "Could it be that Chen Little Friend has not even been assessed as a first or second stage Pill King?"
"That's right!" Chen Xiao nodded, he had indeed not taken the examination before, he did not even know what the Pill King assessment was.
Being able to pass the Pill King assessment is the greatest pursuit of our pill masters. If Chen Little Friend is interested in participating in the exam, I can recommend you to participate in it. Huang Shao looked at Chen Xiao with a faint smile.
In his opinion, Chen Xiao would definitely take part in the examination. After all, that was the highest honor for an alchemist.
But, he had underestimated Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao then frowned and thought for a while, then decisively shook his head and said: "My apologies, I'm afraid I won't have the time to participate in the Pill King assessment anymore!"
"No time?" Huang Shao was stunned for a moment before waving his hand: "It doesn't matter, I can write a letter for you. When the time comes, you can take my letter to any Pill Assembly branch to participate in the Pill King assessment!"
"In that case, thank you very much!" Chen Xiao did not refuse again. Although he was not sure what benefits the Pill King would have, it was clear that it would not be too bad.
If he had the time later on, after Chen Xiao understood the situation, he would not mind to participate in the test.
Huang Shao was also straightforward. After Chen Xiao agreed, he walked over to the stall, reached out for the pen and paper in the stall and quickly wrote a line of strong and vigorous letters.
Picking up the letter, he handed it to Chen Xiao and said, "I should be staying at the Star Seizer Pavilion in the near future. If you need anything, you can look for me there. With that, he nodded at Xue Changshan and smiled, then turned and left quickly.
After the other party had left, Chen Xiao then lowered his head as he looked at the letter in his hand, placed it into his storage ring, and put away all the items on the stall. Only then did he bring Xue Changshan and walk back to the inn.
Along the way, Xue Changshan wanted to ask several times, but in the end, he didn't.
Chen Xiao took the initiative to explain: "I can refine pills in the first place, but this time, it's because I lack some materials, so it's too troublesome to gather them myself. I might as well help people gather them!"
"Then isn't this pill concocting a bit too incredible?" [You must have concocted dozens of Tier 3 Divine Pills today, right? You have never failed a single time, you are simply a living cash cow! " Xue Changshan exclaimed.
When he said that, it reminded Chen Xiao, who could not help but say: "Let's leave this place tomorrow afternoon, it will be troublesome if we are late!"
"Alright!"
Xue Changshan knew what Chen Xiao was worried about and agreed without hesitation.
