Chapter 134 Cooperation Fails, Advanced Female Alchemist

Upon hearing Bai Zhu’er’s words, the group reacted in different ways.

Chu Xiu’s gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them, a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.

Zhang Su was astonished, never expecting that the person she had met yesterday was actually an alchemist.

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

The other male alchemist directly opposite him glared, his eyes sharpening.

Bai Zhuer realized that her words were inappropriate, so she waved her hand and said, “Just kidding, we’re friends.”

Chang Zizai nodded slightly: “Since you are Zhu’er’s friend, then sit down and have some tea together.”

Zhang Su snapped out of her daze and chimed in, “Yes, yes, yes… let’s have some tea.”

While moving the chairs, Chu Xiu introduced, “This is Chang Zizai. He is the most senior alchemist among us. He can refine Earth-rank [Breakthrough Pill] and [Golden Pill].”

“Master Chang!” Xu Changqing and Zhang Su bowed respectfully.

Chang Zizai put down his teacup, his eyes smiling, and said, “I dare not call myself a master, just call me Lao Chang.”

Chu Xiu then pointed to another male alchemist opposite her and introduced him: “Zhang Qin is also a junior alchemist, but his spiritual root is a mutated fire spiritual root.”

Xu Changqing and Zhang Su exchanged a glance, then cupped their hands in greeting: “Master Zhang.”

“Hmph!” Zhang Qin snorted coldly, it was unclear whether he was responding or simply too lazy to respond.

Chu Xiu looked at Bai Zhuer and opened her mouth: “Since you know each other, there’s no need for introductions.”

Bai Zhuer felt it was necessary. Although Xu Changqing knew she was an alchemist, he was not clear about her specific strength, so he took the initiative to say, “I am also a beginner alchemist.”

At this point, the names of the four individuals and their alchemy skills were clear.

Old Chang, also known as Chang Zizai, is the oldest and a senior alchemist.

Zhang Qin, whose age is unknown, is a novice alchemist but possesses a mutated fire spirit root.

Bai Zhu’er needs no further introduction.

Chu Xiu already understood.

Zhang Su picked up the teapot next to him and poured a cup for each of the alchemists in turn. Then he said, “To be honest, Junior Brother Xu and I have come to find business partners.”

Lingnong has always been there to provide you with medicinal herbs.

Some people nodded in agreement, while others remained indifferent.

Zhang Qin spoke up, his tone quite disdainful, “That’s true, but we don’t cooperate with just any spirit farmer, especially those in the Qi Refining stage. Get as far away from them as possible.”

On the surface, he seemed to be stating conditions.

But his eyes were fixed on Xu Changqing, and his words implied contempt for the Qi Refining stage spiritual farmer.

Zhang Su knew the rules; if Xu Changqing hadn’t broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he would never have brought him along. Therefore, he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, everyone. Junior Brother Xu and I are both Foundation Establishment stage spirit farmers.”

Upon hearing that Xu Changqing was at the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhang Qin was stunned for a moment, then looked away with displeasure.

If the other party is only at the Qi Refining stage, then they are at the very bottom of the hierarchy of contempt.

Although most people don’t want to offend Lingnong, otherwise they won’t have anything to eat.

Alchemists have a higher priority than spirit farmers, so they don’t have to worry about finding partners.

Chang Zizai was bound to side with his own people, so he said in a deep voice, “We already have cooperative spirit farmers. Adding one more would not only bring additional risks, but also require an extra investment.”

The meaning of these words is quite clear: it’s a polite refusal.

To put it bluntly, Chu Xiu doesn’t have that much influence.

Chang Zizai couldn’t just find any Lingnong to cooperate with.

Of the four people, Chu Xiu is not good, Zhang Qin is hostile, and Chang Zizai is unwilling to cooperate.

Therefore, Xu Changqing and Zhang Su had no choice but to turn their attention to their acquaintance, Bai Zhuer.

To be honest, Xu Changqing and Bai Zhuer missed each other.

When they came to Lingtian in person to express their willingness to cooperate, they were rejected on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the tables have turned.

In truth, Xu Changqing didn’t care at all whether or not he could cooperate with alchemists.

After all, he possessed several rare and mutated spiritual plants.

In addition, selling wine and pills in the market by independent cultivators is actually quite profitable.

But this time it was Zhang Su who acted as matchmaker, and for that she owed Chu Xiu a favor. If she left like this, it would be like offending her.

Zhang Su, unfortunately, was someone who valued his reputation above all else.

If they do that, their newly restored relationship will definitely be shattered.

Even if they don’t fall out, resentment will still linger.

Bai Zhuer said helplessly, “I’m sorry, I already have a partner, Ling Nong.”

“Hehe.” Zhang Qin laughed gleefully.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu was powerless to do anything.

Although he knew many alchemists, he could only name a few of them.

With no partners available, Zhang Su’s expression turned somewhat grim.

Xu Changqing, observing the situation, quickly said, “Whether we cooperate or not is not important. Getting to know you alchemists is the greatest gain of this trip.”

Although he knew it was just polite talk, it was better than giving him a cold shoulder. Chang Zizai revealed an appreciative look in his eyes: “Young friend, you are already a Foundation Establishment stage spiritual farmer at such a young age. Your future is limitless.”

However, Bai Zhuer then changed the subject: “Although we cannot cooperate, I can introduce you to a high-level alchemist.”

“Oh?” Xu Changqing asked in surprise.

Bai Zhuer raised her slender right hand and pointed in the direction of the Pill Tower, saying, “I have a senior sister who has just returned from her training outside and happens to be looking for a partner.”

Zhang Qin asked in astonishment, “Senior Sister Caiqing?”

Chang Zizai was surprised: “Yu Caiqing?”

Chu Xiu exclaimed, “She’s a genius female alchemist just like Huo Wan!”

Huo Wan, Xu Changqing really does know her.

My own senior brother Li’s childhood sweetheart is now with Rong Yan of the Rong family.

This was the first time I had ever heard of this female alchemist named Yu Caiqing.

The key point is that an alchemist actually needs to go out for training, which sounds like something extraordinary.

Bai Zhuer stood up: “Come on, I’ll take you to find Senior Sister Caiqing.”

Zhang Qin stepped forward to stop him: “Why are you introducing this person to Senior Sister Caiqing?”

Bai Zhuer raised an eyebrow: “Because I want to!”

“Uh.” Zhang Qin was speechless for a moment.

Bai Zhu’er ignored the man and went to Xu Changqing’s side, saying, “Let’s go.”

“Then… Senior Brother?” Xu Changqing looked at Zhang Su beside him with a questioning look in his eyes.

Zhang Su patted him on the shoulder and nodded, saying, “Go ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing stood up and walked downstairs with Bai Zhuer.

Those who stayed didn’t chat much and soon dispersed.

On the other side, Xu Changqing followed closely beside Bai Zhuer.

The two were heading straight for the three-tiered pill tower in the pit.

The closer you are, the higher the temperature you feel.

The heatwave was intense and relentless.

Bai Zhu’er teased, “If you had cooperated with me back then, you wouldn’t have to put up with Lao Chang and Zhang Qin’s attitudes now.”

Xu Changqing appeared very calm and said lightly, “Times have changed, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.”

Bai Zhu’er seemed lost in thought, then suddenly asked after a few seconds, “What do you think of my sister?”
