Chapter 38: Dan King
Chapter 38: Dan King
"Mr. Shen, please reconsider my invitation to you. This is a good opportunity and you must consider it carefully!" Hua Yueyun's clear and beautiful eyes revealed a hint of pleading.
After Hua Yueyun left, Shen Luzong looked at Shen Xiang strangely, and asked in a low voice: "Boy, this woman is the owner of Danxiang Taoyuan after all, but she doesn't put on airs in front of you. Also, what did she invite you for?"
Shen Xiang said: "She invited me to enter Danxiang Taoyuan, but I wanted to enter Taiwumen, so I refused."
"What?" Shen Luzong was stunned, then he knocked Shen Xiang's head fiercely, and continued: "Danxiang Taoyuan is a holy land that alchemists yearn for, and you, a kid, actually refused."
Shen Xiang touched his head which was hurt by the blow, and said with a pout: "Grandmaster, this woman is just a maid in Danxiang Taoyuan, and many people have been fooled into joining her. I won't do such a stupid thing! Entering a sect is a very important matter, I want to enter a sect that I like."
Once you become a disciple of those sects, you cannot leave the sect unless you are expelled from the sect. However, other sects will not accept those who have been expelled, so Shen Xiang is very cautious about this.
Shen Xiang had Su Meiyao teach him the art of alchemy, and he had the Ambergris Skill to ripen elixirs, so he didn't need to enter the Peach Blossom Land of Danxiang. That was why he wanted to enter the Taiwu Sect, a sect with a strong foundation.
It didn't take long before two alchemists came to the door. Shen Luzong was responsible for the screening. When the alchemists arrived, they would first take a look at the golden spirit fruit. Shen Luzong would also proudly take the golden spirit fruit out. Seeing the alchemists' envious faces, Shen Luzong was secretly happy.
Shen Luzong usually asked them to take out the pills they had refined first, and then asked them to refine a furnace of ordinary mid-grade pills. He could judge the level of these alchemists by observing the quality of the pills and the time it took to refine them.
What made Shen Luzong depressed was that, at the end of the day, although there were more than ten people who came to apply, there were only two or three who could be considered alchemists, and those who did not meet the requirements. They were all guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Shen Xiang was not in a hurry, because many alchemists were in seclusion making pills and had not received any news yet. He guessed that in the next few days, there would be more alchemists affiliated with multiple forces in the royal city who would come to apply.
Shen Xiang only recruited four good alchemists. Two golden spirit fruits were enough to allow the four alchemists to stay here for a period of time. By then, the Danwang Pavilion would be strong and there would be no need to worry about not being able to recruit other alchemists.
Just like before, Shen Xiang went out late and came back early. He went out to practice martial arts at night and made pills in Danwang Pavilion during the day. Just three days after the notice was posted, Shen Xiang came back from the mountains outside the city, but saw many white-haired old men gathered at the door of Danwang Pavilion's shop early in the morning.
It was just dawn and the Danwang Pavilion had not yet opened, so the alchemists who came to apply could only wait patiently. You know, as alchemists, they were always high and mighty in their daily lives, and even if a lot of spiritual money was placed in front of them, they would not be tempted. But they regarded those rare spiritual medicines as treasures, because they could not be bought with spiritual money.
Shen Xiang had already thought of the name of the shop, which was called Dan Wang Pavilion. As long as a certain amount of elixirs were stocked, the shop could be opened! Because there were all the experienced alchemists in Shen Luzong, many alchemists were also optimistic about Dan Wang Pavilion.
As soon as they opened the doors, the dozen or so alchemists immediately greeted Shen Luzong. Shen Xiang could roughly estimate the level of these alchemists from the slightly hot aura on their bodies. Except for two, the others did not have pure Qi and could only refine low-level pills.
Most of these half-baked alchemists came here to try their luck, although they knew that the requirements would be very high. After they entered the Danwang Pavilion, Shen Xiang followed them in.
At this time, a wrinkled old man with yellow hair came in. As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Whoever is in charge here, come out!"
When the old man shouted, bursts of pure fire emanated from his body, which shocked the dozen or so alchemists, because this level of fire was something they very much yearned for. They were sure that the yellow-haired old man must be an alchemist, and a very famous one at that, but alchemists rarely show up, and only their names are known to everyone.
Shen Xiang stood up and responded: "I am the manager here, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Everyone knows that Danwang Pavilion belongs to the Shen family, and the main person in charge is Shen Xiang.
When the yellow-haired old man saw Shen Xiang, a look of contempt immediately appeared on his face, and he said arrogantly: "I asked you to change the name of this store immediately. You are not allowed to use the name Danwang Pavilion because you are not worthy!"
Chen Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why? My naming doesn't bother you at all. If you are the one causing trouble, don't blame me for being rude!"
The yellow-haired old man looked at Shen Xiang with contempt, and sneered: "I am the Pill King, so I don't allow you to use this name to name my shop."
King of Dan?
Hearing these two words, Shen Luzong and the old alchemists who came to apply were immediately stunned. Among the more than one billion people in the entire Nanwu Kingdom, there was indeed an alchemist with very high alchemy skills. He was named the Alchemy King and had dealings with the Yao family.
At this moment, they could be sure that the proud old man in front of them was the Alchemy King of Nanwu Kingdom - Meng Bo!
Shen Xiang was not unfamiliar with this name, he had often heard this name when he was very young. Now that he could actually see this person, he quickly realized that it must be the Yao family who asked this Dan King to cause trouble.
Shen Xiang frowned. This matter was a bit tricky. He named the shop Danwang Pavilion in order to make it sound more domineering. He didn't expect that the real Dan King would come to smash the shop's sign.
"Humph, this guy dares to call himself the Alchemy King? I have been refining pills for thousands of years and barely earned the title of Alchemy Sect, let alone the title of Alchemy King above the Alchemy Sect!" Su Meiyao's contemptuous voice rang in Shen Xiang's mind.
Shen Xiang was slightly shocked. Only then did he realize that there were actually different titles for alchemists. His eyes lit up and he sneered at Meng Bo, "Humph, you dare to call yourself the Alchemy King? Do you have the guts to show off in those big sects? See if others will scold you to death, you ignorant old fellow!"
Speaking of those big sects, the other alchemists all had envious looks on their faces. You know, the alchemists in those big sects are even more powerful. Meng Bo certainly doesn't dare to call himself the King of Alchemy in front of those alchemists. He can only show off in this country in the mundane world.
Meng Bo's face flushed red, he was obviously angry, he didn't expect that a little brat like Shen Xiang would dare to humiliate him in front of him, but he couldn't refute, he knew very well that he was far from the alchemists of those big sects, he would be just a small follower there.
Seeing Meng Bo's face flushed with anger, Shen Xiang continued, "Since you are so proud of your high level of alchemy skills, I will compete with you, and let the other alchemists here judge the results."
"Of course... Since it's a competition, we have to add some spice. If I lose, I'll give you a golden spirit fruit. What if you lose?"
