320: Xianyuan Pavilion Auction
Zhou Changlun looked at the little guy with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, Zhou Changqing shrunk his head and whispered, "Then you can't tell Father."
These words made Zhou Changle raise an eyebrow.
Does this little guy really have Pill Refining talent?
"Okay, I promise not to tell," Zhou Changle nodded.
Only then did Zhou Changqing truthfully say, "Brother guessed correctly."
After getting the answer, Zhou Changlun leaned back in his chair, confused, and said, "Then why didn't you tell Father?"
Zhou Changqing pursed his lips and said with a wronged expression, "If Father knew, he would definitely make me do homework every day like Brother. I still want to play for a bit longer and tell Father when I'm older."
It is a child's nature to love playing, coupled with Zhou Changqing's early spiritual awakening. He knew that once Father caught him to refine Pills, he would have no Time to play with Xiao Qing and Bai anymore.
Zhou Changle's eyes towards Zhou Changqing couldn't help but show surprise.
This little guy even learned to hide his talent. Is this something a five-year-old child can understand?
For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise or scold the other party.
If he were to praise him, this little guy dared to lie to Father. If Father found out, he would surely get a beating.
If he were to scold him, this little guy is so smart and has Pill Refining talent. He will definitely be the pride of the Zhou Family in the future, and as his elder brother, it's really hard to say anything.
"Forget it, help me finish my homework first," Zhou Changlun could only say.
"Okay," Zhou Changqing was very happy.
With Zhou Changqing's help, the homework was completed very quickly.
During this Time, Zhou Changlun deliberately gave his younger brother some difficult homework, but the little guy didn't seem to notice and solved it very cleanly and efficiently.
Because Pill Refining takes Time.
In the following days, Zhou Luo stayed in the Pill Refining Room.
The two brothers, free from homework, had a great Time playing.
Zhou Changqing's companion Spirit Beast, Qinglan, was also in its infancy and followed the two brothers every day.
In contrast, Bai, who was already an adult, was very lazy and slept on the stone table all day.
But unable to withstand the harassment from the two brothers, it could only climb onto the roof out of helplessness.
Four days later, the Foundation Establishment Pills were complete.
Inside the Pill Refining Room, everyone stared dumbfounded at the three Foundation Establishment Pills in the furnace, their minds greatly shaken.
The five people who requested the Pill Refining quickly stepped forward.
"A total of three Pills, two mid-grade and one Low Grade," Zhou Luo handed the three Foundation Establishment Pills into their hands.
Since he wanted to build his brand, he didn't need to hide his talent too much.
He thought that even if he announced he was a Second Order top-tier Alchemist, others would only be shocked and wouldn't have any other doubts.
Anyway, in the cultivation world, anything is possible, and with Immortal Fate as an excuse, coupled with his own strength, people would have to believe it even if they didn't want to.
The distribution of the three Pills was the business of the five people, and after seeing such a high level of Pill Refining, the others couldn't help but regret it immensely.
If only I had asked for Pill Refining first.
That way, I wouldn't have to wait another half a year.
"Zhou Alchemist, then it's my turn next."
"Daoist friend Wu, don't be anxious, I'll go first."
"I'll come, I'll come, Zhou Alchemist, the reward I give will definitely satisfy you."
...
Seeing such a result, the others spoke up one after another, wanting to book the next Pill Refining session.
After all, with so many people, waiting further would waste a lot more Time.
Looking at these people scrambling, Zhou Luo said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. I will have the Xian Yuan Pavilion arrange this matter. They will determine the spots then."
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, seemingly confused about what this meant.
Zhou Luo had already anticipated such a result. He planned to have the Xian Yuan Pavilion organize an auction later.
The item being auctioned would be the opportunity for the next Pill Refining.
You could choose to participate in the auction or not. If you didn't participate, you would honestly wait in line. If you wanted to get ahead, it definitely wouldn't work without spending some Spirit Stones.
...
After the third Pill Refining session ended, the news spread again, causing a thousand ripples with one stone.
A batch of three Foundation Establishment Pills, with two of them being mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.
Such an impressive standard is considered top-notch throughout the entire Immortal City.
If the first two Times, people might have thought it was a coincidence or luck.
Then this Time, it was a real slap in the face for those people.
For a Time, the situation was turbulent, and everyone could no longer hold back, wanting to visit and seek his Pill Refining services.
At this moment, the Xian Yuan Pavilion also officially launched the auction for Pill Refining opportunities.
The purpose was simple: if you wanted to refine Pills in advance, you had to pay money.
Seeing this scene, everyone had different opinions. Some thought it was reasonable, while others thought it was greedy.
Regardless, when the auction was held, countless people still participated.
Most of these were just watching the excitement, while some naturally hoped to refine Pills as soon as possible.
In the end, an old man bid eight hundred Spirit Stones for Zhou Luo's first Pill Refining opportunity.
There was no other way; his Lifespan was nearing its end. If he waited any longer, there would be no hope left.
Core Area of the Immortal City, Zhou Residence.
Zhou Luo was routinely teaching Zhou Changlun Pill Refining, while Zhou Changqing sat there with a pouting face, looking utterly bored.
Zhou Luo glanced at this little guy, feeling a bit strange.
Normally, this little guy would be turning the house upside down and couldn't sit still at all.
Why is he so well-behaved today?
Regarding this question, Xiao Changqing really wanted to say, "My heart is suffering."
Actually, all of this was because of Zhou Changlun.
To make this younger brother learn Pill Refining, Zhou Changlun directly threatened him with that secret, which made him stay here honestly.
He hadn't told Father about the little guy's Pill Refining talent, but he also didn't want his younger brother to ruin his talent because of playing too much.
That's why he came up with this plan.
Just as Zhou Luo was refining Pills with his two sons, on this day, someone suddenly came to visit.
Since the auction was held, basically no one had come to visit anymore.
Because even if they visited, they would still have to wait in line, so it was better to honestly participate in the auction instead.
However, the person who came today turned out to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
And upon learning the identity of this person, Zhou Luo couldn't help but be surprised.
Outside the main building, a figure slowly walked over.
It was a stunning woman. Her face was as beautiful as snow, pure but not seductive. A moon-white long robe outlined her ample figure, and her eyes were like clear springs, bright and clean.
She walked with light, graceful steps.
"Zhou Alchemist."
She cupped her hands in greeting, a hint of a smile on her beautiful face. It wasn't deliberate, but it seemed capable of captivating souls.
"May I ask for Daoist friend's name?"
Zhou Luo, seeing the Foundation Establishment aura on her, stood up to greet her.
"Quan Chunzhi," the woman replied.
As soon as this name appeared, Zhou Luo felt a sense of familiarity.
Soon, he remembered that when he was looking for the jade marrow mushroom, Wang Lang had mentioned her.
It seemed she was trying to crowdfund Pill Refining for her younger brother.
Years later, she was visiting now, which indicated that the Pill Refining matter hadn't gone smoothly.
