Looking for Someone at Alchemy Heart Tower, Never Expected It to Be Her (2/5)

"Speaking of which, the reason I brought Junior Brother Xu along this time..." Zhang Su hadn't finished speaking.

Chu Xiu interrupted, "Understood. Your Junior Brother Xu needs Foundation Establishment to break through his cultivation level, but we'll have to wait until after the Formal Disciple Grand Competition, and he'll need to prepay 100 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone."

It's both exploiting acquaintances and demanding advance payments of Spirit Stone.

Immediately, Xu Changqing's impression of the Alchemist in front of him worsened considerably.

After speaking, Chu Xiu looked at the two of them, seemingly certain that they would compromise.

However, Zhang Su shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you misunderstand. My Junior Brother Xu has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and doesn't need Foundation Establishment at all."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment before saying incredulously, "You've already Foundation Establishment?"

Xu Changqing smiled slightly and immediately released his aura, exuding the refreshing aura unique to Wood Spirit Root.

After confirming that the person in front of him was Foundation Establishment Realm, Chu Xiu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "You keep calling me 'Junior Brother,' I thought you were a Qi Refining Realm."

Zhang Su explained, "Besides getting to know you, the main reason I brought Junior Brother Xu here this time is to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Su nodded slightly. "You should know that once Spirit Farmer reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, they will gain an additional acre of Grade-Two Spirit Field."

Chu Xiu then understood what the other party meant and couldn't help but frown, saying, "With you providing the medicinal herbs, I don't need a second partner."

Xu Changqing tactfully replied, "I won't steal my senior's business."

Not wanting to lose face, and since he was already there, Zhang Su simply said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you know so many Alchemists, could you introduce me to a few?"

Chu Xiu rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You have ten acres of Spirit Fields, planting so many medicinal herbs, and you're not just cooperating with me, one Alchemist."

Zhang Su spread his hands and said quite sincerely, "Most of my partners are Fire Spiritual Root Apprentice. Although there are Junior Alchemist, none of them can compare to you."

Xu Changqing saw this and was deeply moved.

Most Spirit Farmer who have just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm don't know what kind of Spirit Plant to plant in their newly added second acre of Grade-Two Spirit Field, so to be on the safe side, they generally choose Spirit Rice.

After all, it's a sure thing, no risk.

But if you really want to get rich, you must cultivate rare Spirit Plant.

Collaborating with the Alchemist of the Alchemy Pavilion is clearly a good choice.

Not only can they access elixirs and medicinal herbs, but they can also earn a stable income.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Chu Xiu never expected that her business partner would ask her for help for the sake of a junior brother; this meant she would owe him a favor.

Considering that the other party could reliably provide the medicinal herbs needed for alchemy, and given the reputation of the Zhang Family of Spirit Fields, he decided not to refuse after much deliberation.

Zhang Su's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chu!"

Xu Changqing followed closely behind. "Thank you, Master Chu!"

Chu Xiu offered a heads-up. "I can introduce you to a few Alchemist, but whether it will be successful depends on your own choices."

Xu Changqing and Zhang Su expressed their understanding of this.

Let's give it a try first, just in case it works.

Just then, Chu Xiu finished refining the elixir and needed to rest for a few days.

Therefore, he went to the next room to take a shower, changed into a new light red outfit, and then took Zhang Su and Xu Changqing outside.

The three of them walked step by step into the depths of the fairly wide street.

On both sides, there are almost entirely buildings that combine residential buildings with Alchemy Chamber.

However, most of the people living here are Fire Spiritual Root Apprentice.

True Alchemist are extremely rare.

After all, this profession requires not only talent, but also time and perseverance.

Here, the older the Alchemist, the more sought-after they are.

Before long, a three-story building appeared in front of the three of them.

The name is [Alchemy Heart Tower].

There were many Fire Spiritual Root Apprentice and Junior Alchemist coming and going, and even the sound of conversations could be heard coming from inside, making it quite lively.

Chu Xiu pointed to the building and explained, "This is where we meet privately to exchange our alchemy insights."

Zhang Su already knew this and was not surprised.

Xu Changqing, however, began to observe carefully.

With so many Fire Spiritual Root gathered together, the entire building did not emit a scorching aura; instead, it was filled with a cool breeze.

It makes people feel very comfortable.

The three of them then quickly entered.

The three-story Alchemy Heart Tower its largest floor, the first floor, which is furnished with many tables, chairs, and benches, much like the inns and restaurants in the Rogue Cultivator Market.

You can see Fire Spiritual Root Apprentice and Junior Alchemist chatting amicably while drinking wine and eating snacks.

The atmosphere was indeed very good.

"Has Fellow Daoist Chu finished refining the pills?"

"How was the harvest this time?"

Could you introduce a few guests?

Clearly, Chu Xiu is quite famous here.

As soon as you enter, someone always greets you.

Zhang Su explained, "Fellow Daoist Chu once refined Foundation Establishment, even though it was only one and of poor quality, it still gained him considerable fame."

After listening, Xu Changqing pondered to himself, "It seems that the ability to refine Foundation Establishment has become a watershed moment for this profession."

Chu Xiu was able to refine it, even if he only succeeded once, and only produced one piece, and the quality wasn't even high. But compared to his peers who mostly failed, he was still incredibly skilled.

This is why their status and position are higher than others.

Outside, cultivators mostly value strength above all else.

But here, especially in an environment full of apprentices and Alchemist.

Whoever has a higher success rate in refining pills and produces better quality ones is the most awesome.

However, Chu Xiu's reaction to the enthusiasm of those around her was quite cold.

Without even glancing at them, as if he hadn't heard a thing, he led Xu Changqing and Zhang Su up the wooden steps and quickly ascended to the second floor of Alchemy Heart Tower.

Compared to the first floor, there are fewer people here, and the environment is better.

Most of the seats were empty; only the windows and railings were occupied.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the two people behind her, Chu Xiu said, "Most of the Alchemist I know are drinking tea on the second floor."

Zhang Su immediately responded, "I understand, I understand."

Xu Changqing didn't say anything, he just followed silently.

Soon, they arrived at a window on the second floor, where three people were sitting.

Two men and one woman, all Alchemist.

"Old Chang," Chu Xiu greeted him first.

The oldest of the three smiled and said, "Little Chu, you've finished refining the pills!"

Chu Xiu nodded, then pointed to the two people behind her and introduced them, "These two are both Spirit Farmer. The one on the left Zhang Su, and the one on the right is Xu Changqing."

"Xu Changqing?" The only female Alchemist had been looking at the window turned her head in surprise.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Xu Changqing exclaimed in astonishment, "Bai Zhuer!"

Isn't this Bai Ling'er's older sister?

Goodness, after all this time, it turns out to be someone I know.

Chu Xiu was quite surprised. "You two know each other?"

Bai Zhuer said with a playful expression, "I've more than just known him; I've always been lusting after his body!!!"
