Chapter 1460 1460: Declining the Offer
Su Chen heard this and got a general impression of the alchemy standards in the Ruin Realm!
Perhaps the alchemy level in the Ruin Realm is much higher than in the Ancient Martial World, but it still can't compare to the elixirs in the 'Laws Forbidden Tome'!
This indicates that the alchemy level in the Ruin Realm is actually just so-so. Of course, it also more so highlights how extraordinary the 'Laws Forbidden Tome' is!
"Today is quite lucky; it actually succeeded the first time!"
Su Chen then said with a smile.
Su Chen had previously tried other elixirs and always failed a few times before finally succeeding!
After succeeding, he would summarize the various problems encountered beforehand to ensure full mastery. After that, it would seldom fail!
Unexpectedly, the first time he tried refining such a Earth's Ultimate Realm elixir today, it succeeded, which is also due to his deeper understanding of the Alchemy Dao now!
Of course, a bit of luck was involved as well!
"Master Su, is this really the first time you've refined this elixir?"
Ji Tianhong was stunned when he heard this and asked naively.
"Brother Su, you must be joking with me?!"
Ji Ping also exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed it is."
Su Chen replied with a smile.
He recently just broke through the Condensation Pill Realm, and he currently has the highest cultivation in the villa. Even Ouyang Jing only broke through to the Great Perfection of the Kaiyuan Realm a few days before Su Chen left the villa!
So he had no need to refine the Earth Yang Pill, and even if he refined it, it wouldn't be used for now!
Ji Tianhong thought it over and realized there was no need for Su Chen to deceive them!
Understanding this, they became even more incredibly amazed!
To succeed in refining an Earth Level elixir on the first try, and such a good one at that, was simply unbelievable!
Then, Su Chen refined another batch of Earth Yang Pills, around forty to fifty pills, since there weren't many Earth Level masters in the Ji Family!
At this point, the herbs brought over were basically used up!
"Master Su, you've truly toiled hard today!"
Ji Tianhong expressed immense gratitude and said with a cupped fist:
"How about we split these elixirs half-and-half?"
"No need. You can keep these elixirs."
Su Chen waved his hand casually.
"Master Su, absolutely not! How could I possibly take them all?"
Ji Tianhong quickly said.
To be honest, although the herbs were provided by him, after all, it was refined by someone else!
Suggesting a half-and-half split already felt like he was gaining too much!
"Alright then, I don't need half; I'll just take some."
Su Chen nodded upon hearing this.
He had already prepared some elixirs himself, and at this moment, he took a few more according to his needs, leaving most of them with Ji Tianhong!
With the remaining elixirs in hand, Ji Tianhong felt intensely excited and thankful!
"Master Su, if you ever need to refine elixirs or require any herbs, just let me know, and our Ji Family will certainly do our utmost to fulfill it!"
Ji Tianhong said solemnly.
"Alright."
Su Chen nodded, not refusing, thinking he might need them someday.
"Master Su, how about I prepare a dinner banquet tonight and invite you as an honor?"
Ji Tianhong invited.
"No need for a banquet."
Su Chen waved his hand, acknowledging Ji Tianhong's intention to show appreciation, though he wasn't particularly interested.
"Then, Master Su, how about I arrange a separate courtyard for you to make your stay more comfortable and convenient?"
Ji Tianhong continued, primarily because it didn't feel right for someone who refined so many elixirs for the Ji Family to not express any gratitude!
Moreover, such an Alchemy Master should be given respect and hospitality wherever he goes!
"No need to be so courteous. I'm staying at Uncle Zhou's place, and it's quite fine."
Su Chen replied casually:
"Also, don't call me Master Su anymore. Just call me Su Chen; it's more natural."
Su Chen laughed as he said.
"Alright, then I'll call you Su Chen from now on."
Ji Tianhong said casually:
"If you need anything in your daily life, just let me know."
In his heart, Ji Tianhong thought: This young man, despite his profound pill cultivation, is quite easy-going and rare!
"Alright, I won't be polite."
Su Chen replied with a casual smile.
"That's best!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Tianhong laughed heartily as well.
Afterward, Ji Tianhong and Ji Ping escorted Su Chen to the gate of Zhou Shan's courtyard before taking their leave.
"Brother Su, since you've been busy all day, I'll come find you tomorrow instead."
Ji Ping said with a smile.
"Sure, you're always welcome."
Su Chen replied with a faint smile, having a pretty good impression of this Ji Family young master.
When Su Chen walked into the courtyard, he found that Zhou Shan and his wife were not there.
This was normal; they were servants of the Ji Family, so they naturally had things to attend to.
Especially Zhou Shan, being the butler of the Ji Family, surely dealing with all kinds of matters.
However, the girl Zhou Ying was nowhere to be seen.
Su Chen didn't think much of it and went to his room to continue his cultivation.
After a while, the sound of Zhou Shan and his wife returning could be heard.
About an hour later, Jiang Ping came to call Su Chen for dinner; Zhou Ying had also returned by then.
Zhou Shan had already learned about today's situation from Ji Tianhong, and looking at Su Chen now, he was quite moved!
He never expected that Zhou Ying's young friend was actually such a renowned alchemist and that those elixirs were refined by him!
Seeing him chatting and laughing with his daughter, it was truly a bit unimaginable!
After dinner, Zhou Ying and he took a short stroll around the Ji Family area before returning home.
Back home, he prepared some hot water for a bath, not wanting to trouble Aunt Jiang constantly.
After bathing and returning to his room, he continued his cultivation...
After several hours of cultivation, he began contemplating the "Wind Shadow Step" once again!
...
Time flew by, and another five or six days passed. Most of Su Chen's time was spent cultivating or comprehending the "Wind Shadow Step" here!
During this period, Ji Ping often came to visit, and they had many lively conversations since they were both young!
Additionally, Ji Tianhong came twice, proactively asking if Su Chen needed anything in his daily life.
Ji Tianhong's gestures made Zhou Shan and his wife become a bit more respectful, after all, even the family head acted like this, let alone themselves as servants!
Su Chen, however, felt somewhat uncomfortable with this change and quickly told Zhou Shan and his wife to be more relaxed, just as they were before.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan and his wife appreciated Su Chen's personality even more. He was unassuming and carefree!
So they gradually returned to their previous state, and Su Chen felt more at ease this way!
Fortunately, Zhou Ying remained unchanged, though she was surprised at Su Chen's prowess in alchemy!
Sometimes, when she looked at Su Chen, her eyes involuntarily sparkled with a hint of admiration!
