Chapter 123: Arrogant
Chapter 123: Arrogant
How could Zhou Ping not know this truth? It’s just that behind his current martial arts cultivation base, he had achieved the realm of all things responding to the heart.
Don’t talk about people around, even if there was a fly, it couldn’t hide its feelings.
“How is alchemy? Have you gained anything? Don’t be frustrated. You can’t do anything overnight. Practice a few times and wait until you are familiar with it, and you will naturally succeed.” Elder Zhou patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder with an encouraging expression.
“Grandpa, are you so sure that I can’t make a pill?” Zhou Ping angrily avoided Elder Zhou’s hand.
“Okay, this old man can afford to let this go. If he fails, he fails. There is nothing I dare to admit.” Elder Zhou thought that Zhou Ping was embarrassed to admit, he would be generous with him.
“I really made a pill. Forget it, I’m too lazy to tell you!” Seeing that no matter what he said, Zhou Ping couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Puff!
As soon as Zhou Ping’s voice fell, Zhang Bufan couldn’t help but laugh, and immediately attracted Zhou Ping’s attention.
“What are you laughing at?” Zhou Ping looked at Zhang Bufan. “By the way, why are you here?”
“Ahem, Young Master Zhou, I am now the chief alchemist of the Zhou family. Isn’t it normal to be here?” Zhang Bufan straightened his clothes and stood up.
“Chief alchemist? You?” Zhou Ping cast a puzzled look at Elder Zhou.
“Aping, we have determined that Zhang Bufan is indeed an alchemist. Since he is now willing to submit to our Zhou family, then our Zhou family cannot wrong Zhang Bufan, so I have officially hired Zhang Bufan as our Zhou family’s chief alchemist.”
“Well, this kind of thing, grandpa, you can take care of it.” Zhou Ping’s reason for conquering Zhang Bufan was that he originally intended to give him the title of Zhou Family’s chief alchemist. It didn’t matter. Anyway, it just sounded good. The Zhou family couldn’t find a third alchemist except Zhou Ping and Zhang Bufan.
As Zhou family’s grandson, he beat Zhang Bufan himself. Zhang Bufan naturally did not dare to command Zhou Ping. In other words, Zhang Bufan, the chief alchemist, was actually the commander of the polished rod.
“The chief alchemist is the chief alchemist. By the way, you haven’t answered me yet, what were you laughing at?” Zhou Ping asked Zhang Bufan.
“I only found out in these two days that it turned out that this was Young Master Zhou’s first alchemy practice. Young Master Zhou’s first alchemy practice and dare to say that he could do alchemy. I thought it was funny, so I laughed. Why? Does Young Master Zhou think I am smiling wrongly?” Zhang Bufan said to Zhou Ping with a light smile.
These two days, without Zhou Ping, Zhang Bufan’s life was extremely refreshing. After Elder Zhou learned that he was an alchemist, his status in the Zhou family suddenly improved.
Originally, everyone in the Zhou family regarded him as a prisoner of Zhou Ping and was under surveillance everywhere. But now, Zhang Bufan finally felt respect again.
Elder Zhou personally greeted him with warmth, and he even had a small independent courtyard as a place to live.
If it had been placed before, Zhang Bufan wouldn’t even take a look at Elder Zhou. But now it’s different. After experiencing Zhou Ping’s beating and experiencing the feeling of being watched or even ignored, the behavior of Elder Zhou now made Zhang Bufan fully feel respected.
Only when one had lost it could he know how much the original thing was worth cherishing.
After receiving the attention of Elder Zhou, Zhang Bufan had even more confidence in speaking. In the past two days, Zhang Bufan had regained the feeling of being surrounded by everyone. This feeling almost made Zhang Bufan cry.
Through talking with Elder Zhou, Zhang Bufan knew that Young Master Zhou was actually trying alchemy for the first time. Suddenly, Zhang Bufan’s sense of superiority rose again.
“Although my martial arts can’t beat you, I can point you in alchemy. It takes a lot of time to do alchemy.
“My master once told me that every alchemist spends countless resources just practicing the refining method of a pill. I don’t know how much material it will cost.
“No matter how powerful a person is, he must have experienced countless failures to master a pill refining method. Now that Young Master Zhou is practicing alchemy for the first time, he still dares to say that he has done it. Isn’t that funny?” Zhang Bufan felt very happy that he was able to suppress Zhou Ping once.
“Oh? I don’t know what kind of pill recipes Chief Zhang has mastered? How long did it take to practice before he could refine a pill?” Zhou Ping stared at Zhang Bufan with great interest.
“I have now mastered the refining method of the Ethereal Pill. In order to learn to refine the Ethereal Pill, it took me a full year to consume all the materials my master left me before I mastered it.” Zhang Bufan’s head was raised high. “Don’t think it is long, this is already considered a fast speed among alchemists.”
“Oh? Is a year fast? How many kinds of pills can you refine now?” Zhou Ping asked Zhang Bufan.
“Before my master left, he told me that it took me a year to learn a method of refining a pill, which is a very good speed among alchemists. Except for some peerless geniuses who are particularly compatible with alchemy, this is already the best. It’s fast. As for how many kinds of pills I can refine,” Zhang Bufan sneered. “Do you think refining a pill is to rub pills? It’s not bad to learn one in such a short time.”
“Oh, in other words, did you only learn a way of refining pills?” Zhou Ping said disappointedly.
“You, what do you know. I have said…” Zhang Bufan’s face flushed. “Hmph, forget it, there is nothing to say with someone like you who is making a pill for the first time. Didn’t you say that you made a pill? Take it out and let us have a look!”
“Well, what’s the point of contention. Now everyone is in the same camp. What’s the point of fighting like this?” Elder Zhou said. He was afraid that Zhou Ping would not be able to get through.
“Huh, people fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense. Young Master Zhou is arrogant and doesn’t know the gap between the sky and the earth. I am helping him. Otherwise, Young Master Zhou will still be so ignorant of the sky and the earth, and he will suffer a big loss,” Zhang Bufan said arrogantly.
As soon as he said this, his face instantly turned ugly. Zhang Bufan was now called Zhou family chief alchemist. In any case, Zhang Bufan could not get rid of the status of a subordinate. Could anyone in the world speak to the master like this?
Zhou Ping’s eyes also narrowed.
