88: Chapter 88 Meeting Chen Jianhong Again

"Help me post a mission to set up a Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array. The mission reward is 1000 spiritual stones, plus 200 contribution points."

Chen Jiancang took out his identity token and handed it to the staff member responsible for registration.

"Oh. It's Alchemist Chen Jiancang. I'll register it for you right away. Within two days, the mission you posted will be synchronized to the Mission Halls of each Spiritual Vein. You can go back and wait. Once an Array Master accepts the mission, someone will notify you." The Mission Hall Disciple recognized Chen Jiancang's identity at a glance, quickly completed the registration, and said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you."

He took the token back into his hand.

He was now somewhat of a celebrity in the Xiao Yun Mountain Market. After all, no matter if it was Alchemy, talismans, artifacts, or arrays, as long as one could master one of these and reach a certain rank, their status and position would rapidly rise.

As for him, the only skill he revealed in front of outsiders was Alchemy. Chen Jiancang did not plan to expose his talisman crafting skill, which was even better than his Alchemy, under his real identity.

After all, someone being proficient in two skills at the same time was too unbelievable.

"Jiancang, do you have any refined Qi Gathering Pills? Can you sell me a few? I can't even get the pills released by Chen's Treasure Pavilion every day."

"Stop messing around. Nephew Jiancang just became an Alchemist. I heard the Dan Hall assigned him a mission to refine 150 Qi Gathering Pills every month. Where would he have time to refine a few more batches?"

"But I heard..."

As Chen Jiancang walked on the street, people occasionally came up to greet him, strike up a friendship, and even some Chen Clan members inquired about buying Qi Gathering Pills.

The sales of Qi Gathering Pills were always in short supply. Once pills were put up for sale in the Treasure Pavilion, as soon as the news got out, a large number of rogue cultivators would queue up to buy them. Even the Chen Clan members found it very difficult to buy them.

Within the Chen Family, one could exchange contribution points for Qi Gathering Pills, but contribution points were not something everyone could easily obtain.

Only by holding positions in the various halls of the Chen Family would one's salary be settled with contribution points.

Chen Jiancang quickly cupped his hands and fled the area. The Qi Gathering Pills he refined, except for those submitted for the refining mission, were all handed over to Chen's Treasure Pavilion for sale.

Besides the Qing He Yuqi Pills, he didn't have many extra Qi Gathering Pills on him, so how could he satisfy the needs of the Chen Clan members?

Chen Jiancang returned directly to the Dan Hall.

"Junior Brother Chen Jiancang, long time no see." As soon as Chen Jiancang entered the Dan Hall gate, a voice like silver bells came from his ear.

Following the voice, Chen Jiancang looked over and saw it was Qing He, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Senior Sister Qing He, I haven't seen you for quite some time. What are you...?" Chen Jiancang asked curiously.

Since their last meeting, he hadn't seen Qing He for a period of time.

Qing He's eyes held a smile, and she spoke with a hint of shyness, "Junior Brother Chen Jiancang, to be honest, I've been preparing for the Alchemist assessment during this time. I can now refine Pei Yuan Pills, and I can produce two pills each time."

The content of the Alchemist assessment was actually very simple. The examinee only needed to refine a type of First Order pill. Producing two or more pills was sufficient.

Because only by producing two pills could it be ensured that the Materials were not wasted and that there was profit to be made.

When Chen Jiancang became an Alchemist, he produced five pills in one go, all of superior quality, which was considered an excellent result.

Chen Jianhong, who competed with Chen Jiancang, also successfully refined Qi Gathering Pills, but he only produced one pill, which did not meet the standard for becoming an Alchemist.

At this moment, Chen Jiancang was slightly startled upon hearing this, and then revealed a surprised smile, "It seems Senior Sister is already confident and will surely pass the Alchemist assessment smoothly."

Qing He said with a smile, "Then I'll take that as a good omen."

Just then, a figure hurried over from a distance. It was Chen Jianhong, who had competed with Chen Jiancang before.

He was in a hurry, and only when he reached the entrance of the Dan Hall did he notice Chen Jiancang and Qing He. His expression froze, and there was a hint of awkwardness on his face.

But his expression immediately turned relaxed, and he uncharacteristically bowed respectfully and took the initiative to greet them, saying, "Greetings, Alchemist Chen Jiancang, and Junior Sister Qing He."

Chen Jianhong's expression lacked the arrogance of the past. It was as if he had voluntarily lowered himself and was exceptionally polite to Chen Jiancang. It seemed that Chen Jiancang's recent display of talent in Alchemy had completely convinced him.

At this time, Qing He nodded slightly in response, while Chen Jiancang asked with a smile, "Brother Jianhong, long time no see. You seem to be in a hurry, is there something important?"

Chen Jianhong took a deep breath and said frankly, "Alchemist Chen Jiancang, to be honest, I am preparing to participate in the Alchemist assessment. Last time when I competed with you, I only produced one pill and failed to pass. I have practiced diligently day and night during this time, and now I have a sixty percent chance of success."

"Just now, the teacher notified me to take the Alchemist assessment today, that's why I hurried over."

Seeing that Chen Jianhong no longer had his former arrogance, Chen Jiancang then said with a smile, "Then I wish you success in your assessment and promotion to Alchemist."

Currently, there were only four Alchemists in the Dan Hall of the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein. If both Chen Jianhong and Qing He could successfully pass the assessment, then there would be six Alchemists, which would rank high among the many Spiritual Veins of the entire Chen Family.

Qing He, who was on the side, originally wanted to tease him a bit, but seeing that Chen Jianhong's temperament had greatly changed, she could only mutter a few words and ultimately did not provoke him.
