Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Hearing Bai Zhu'er's words, the reactions of the several people were all different.

Chu Xiu's gaze shifted back and forth between the two, filled with surprise and doubt.

Zhang Su's face was full of astonishment; she hadn't expected that the person she had met just yesterday was actually an Alchemist.

Chang Zizai narrowed his eyes, appearing the most composed; no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

The other male Alchemist sitting directly opposite, his eyes bulged, and his gaze turned sharp.

Bai Zhu'er sensed these words were inappropriate, so she waved her hand: "Just kidding, we're friends."

Chang Zizai nodded lightly: "Since you're Zhu'er's friend, then sit down and let's drink tea together."

Zhang Su recovered her senses and chimed in: "Right, right, right... let's drink tea, drink tea."

Taking advantage of the time moving chairs, Chu Xiu introduced again: "This one is called Chang Zizai, he is the most senior Senior Alchemist among us few, he can refine Earth-grade 'Breaking Barrier Pill' and 'Golden Core Formation Pill'."

"Master Chang!" Xu Zhangqing and Zhang Su cupped their hands in salute.

Chang Zizai set down his tea cup, his eyes smiling as he said: "I dare not accept the title Master, just call me Lao Chang."

Chu Xiu then pointed at the other male Alchemist opposite and introduced: "Zhang Qin, also a Junior Alchemist, but his Spiritual Root is a Mutant Fire Spirit Root."

Xu Zhangqing and Zhang Su exchanged a glance, both cupping their hands: "Master Zhang."

"Hmph!" Zhang Qin let out a cold snort, unknown whether he was responding or simply couldn't be bothered to respond.

Chu Xiu looked at Bai Zhu'er, opening his mouth: "Since you know each other, there's no need for introductions."

But Bai Zhu'er felt it was necessary; although Xu Zhangqing knew she was an Alchemist, he wasn't clear on her specific strength, so she took the initiative to say: "I am also a Junior Alchemist."

By this point, the names and Alchemy strengths of the four people were all clear.

Lao Chang, Chang Zizai, the oldest in age, is a Senior Alchemist.

Zhang Qin, age unknown, although a Junior Alchemist, possesses a Mutant Fire Spirit Root.

Bai Zhu'er naturally needs no further elaboration.

Chu Xiu is also already clear.

Zhang Su picked up the tea pot at the side, poured a cup for each of these Alchemists in turn, then said: "Not hiding it from the several of you, Junior Brother Xu and I came to find cooperative partners.

Spirit Farmers since ancient times, aren't they the ones providing medicinal herbs for you."

Regarding this, some nodded, some were indifferent.

Zhang Qin spoke up, his tone quite disdainful: "Words may be so, but we don't cooperate with just any Spirit Farmer, especially Qi Refining Stage Spirit Farmers, even more so they should scram as far away as possible."

On the surface, he seemed to be setting conditions.

But his eyes kept staring at Xu Zhangqing, his words inside and out looking down on Qi Refining Stage Spirit Farmers.

Zhang Su knew the rules; if Xu Zhangqing hadn't broken through to Foundation Establishment Stage, she absolutely wouldn't have brought him, so she nodded and said: "Several seniors rest assured, both Junior Brother Xu and I are Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Farmers."

Upon hearing Xu Zhangqing was Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhang Qin froze for a moment, then unhappily withdrew his gaze.

If the other party was merely Qi Refining Stage, they would be at the very bottom of the contempt chain.

Although, most people are unwilling to offend Spirit Farmers, otherwise they'd have no food to eat.

But an Alchemist's priority is higher than a Spirit Farmer's, they don't worry about failing to find cooperative partners.

Chang Zizai would certainly side with his own people, therefore he said in a deep voice: "Currently we all have cooperative Spirit Farmers, rashly adding one more not only brings extra risk, but also requires an additional investment."

The meaning of these words was already very obvious, it was a tactful refusal.

To put it bluntly, Chu Xiu doesn't have that much face.

And Chang Zizai would never casually find a Spirit Farmer to cooperate with.

Now among the four people, Chu Xiu is no good, Zhang Qin bears hostility, Chang Zizai is unwilling to cooperate.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing and Zhang Su's gazes could only fall on the acquaintance Bai Zhu'er.

Truth be told, Xu Zhangqing and Bai Zhu'er actually missed each other.

Back then, when she personally came to the Spirit Field to express willingness to cooperate, she was refused on the spot.

Unexpectedly, now the fates have turned full circle.

Actually, Xu Zhangqing didn't care at all in his heart, and didn't mind whether he could cooperate with an Alchemist or not.

After all, he held several kinds of Rare Spirit Plants, Mutant Spirit Plants in his hands.

Plus selling wine and pills at the Loose Cultivator market, it's actually quite profitable.

But this time Zhang Su was the one bridging the connection, for which she even owed Chu Xiu a favor; if they just left like this, it would be equivalent to sweeping away the other's face.

Precisely, Zhang Su is a person who loves face the most.

Once doing so, the relationship the two had just restored would absolutely develop a rift.

Even if they don't fall out, a grudge would form in the heart.

Bai Zhu'er said helplessly: "Sorry, I already have a cooperative Spirit Farmer."

"Hehe." Zhang Qin laughed out loud in schadenfreude.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu was also powerless to help.

Although he knew many Alchemists, the ones he could truly call by name were just these few.

Now not a single one cooperated, this made Zhang Su's complexion somewhat ugly.

Xu Zhangqing read the situation, seeing this he hurriedly said: "Whether we cooperate or not isn't important, being able to know the various Alchemists is the greatest harvest of this trip."

Although knowing they were polite words, it was still better than throwing a tantrum; Chang Zizai revealed an appreciative look: "Little Friend, at such a young age you're already a Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Farmer, your future is limitless."

However, at this moment, Bai Zhu'er changed the subject: "Although we cannot cooperate, I can introduce a Senior Alchemist for you to meet."

"Oh?" Xu Zhangqing was surprised.

Bai Zhu'er raised her fair right hand, pointing toward the Dan Pavilion's direction, and said: "I have a Senior Sister who just returned from experience training outside, and she happens to be looking for a cooperative partner."

Zhang Qin said in shock: "Senior Sister Caiqing?"

Chang Zizai said in surprise: "Yu Caiqing?"

Chu Xiu exclaimed: "This is a genius female Alchemist on par with Huo Wan."

Huo Wan, Xu Zhangqing actually knew.

His own Senior Brother Li's childhood sweetheart, now followed Rong Family's Rong Yan.

As for this female Alchemist named 【Yu Caiqing】, it was the first time he had heard of her.

The critical point is, an Alchemist actually going out for experience training — just hearing it sounds not simple.

Bai Zhu'er stood up: "Go, I'll take you to find Senior Sister Caiqing."

Zhang Qin stepped forward to block: "Why are you introducing this person to Senior Sister Caiqing?"

Bai Zhu'er raised her willow brows: "Because I'm willing!"

"Uh." Zhang Qin was momentarily at a loss for words.

Bai Zhu'er couldn't be bothered to deal with this person, came to Xu Zhangqing's side and called out: "Let's go."

"Then... Senior Brother?" Xu Zhangqing looked at Zhang Su beside him, revealing a questioning gaze.

Zhang Su patted his shoulder, nodded and said: "Go."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing stood up, then together with Bai Zhu'er walked toward downstairs.

And the people left behind didn't chat much either, not long after they dispersed.

On the left side, Xu Zhangqing followed closely beside Bai Zhu'er.

The two's direction was precisely the three-layer Dan Tower in the pit.

The closer the distance, the higher the temperature felt.

Heat waves rolled, pressing aggressively.

Bai Zhu'er teased: "You brat, if you had cooperated with me back then, now you wouldn't have to watch Old Chang and Zhang Qin's faces."

Xu Zhangqing appeared very calm, said lightly: "This time that time, no one can predict what things will occur in the future."

Bai Zhu'er looked thoughtful, a few seconds later suddenly asked: "What do you think of my younger sister???"
