C15 Roast Stones(2)
"Don't! Brother, if you have any work I can help you with, just tell me." Ye Xuan kept pestering him. Although it seemed a little fake, it still made the disciple dizzy.
This was the first time he had received such treatment. It would be strange if the disciple did not feel dizzy. He said proudly, "Since you are so sincere, then help me watch the fire! However, you cannot stay for too long. If Master finds out... I can't protect you."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I won't implicate you." Ye Xuan replied with a smile on his face.
After saying that, the disciple laid on the side and fell asleep. Due to the large number of disciples being transferred to the pill refining workshop these few days, there was not enough manpower. Scary, he was exhausted. Now, someone was watching the fire for him. He could finally rest in peace.
Luo Chun saw that Ye Xuan was really looking at the fire and asked in confusion, "Ye, are you sick today? You are not going on a date with Su Lingyue and are here to burn the fire?"
"What do you know..." Ye Xuan said and took out the Strength Evaluation Stone from his pocket. When he saw that the disciple had fallen asleep, he quickly threw the Strength Evaluation Stone into the raging flames.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chun cried out strangely, "Damn, why did you throw the Strength Evaluation Stone into the fire? Don't tell me you want to roast it and eat it?"
Ye Xuan said with an indignant expression, "If you have nothing better to do, then go and stand guard for me. If you have time, I'll introduce you to a pretty girl."
When he mentioned a girl, all the questions were thrown to the back of his mind. He laughed happily and ran to stand guard.
Not long after Luo Chun left, Tangyuan hurriedly said to Ye Xuan, "Boss, the fire is almost ready. Quickly use the Chaotic Heavenly Astral to wrap it up."
As soon as he said this, Ye Xuan quickly controlled the Chaos Origin Heavenly Astral and submerged it into the burning red Strength Evaluation Stone bit by bit, completely enveloping it within the Chaos Origin Heavenly Astral.
Time passed bit by bit. Under the calcination of the earth fire, the shape of the Strength Evaluation Stone changed significantly. The original metallic luster also disappeared, and the surface was full of bumps and hollows, like a burning coal ball.
"Alright, alright. If it continues burning, it will turn into a paste." Tangyuan hurriedly shouted.
"It's burnt? Do you think this is cooking!?" Ye Xuan thought for a while and carefully picked it up with a pair of fire pincers. He then hung it by the side.
Ye Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had controlled the Chaotic Heavenly Astral for a long period of time. After five minutes, the degree of his control was comparable to fighting with someone. He was exhausted beyond words.
"Not good, someone is coming..."
But not long after, Luo Chun hurriedly ran in and shouted out while gasping for breath.
"What should we do? Run! But this stone isn't cold yet!" Ye Xuan asked himself and quickly said to Luo Chun, "Mr Chun, you run away first. I will guard the back."
When these words came out, Luo Chun was instantly a little unhappy. He said with an indignant face, "Ye, do you think Luo Chun is a coward who is afraid of death? How can I abandon you? At most, I'll just receive punishment together with you."
Ye Xuan didn't say anything else. At the same time, a middle-aged man in a long robe appeared in front of him. He looked at the two of them with a surprised expression and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you trespass into the important place of alchemy? I'll bring you to the Law Enforcement Hall to deal with you."
As the man spoke, two big hands grabbed towards the two of them.
Ye Xuan dodged and quickly said, "Senior, please wait. Junior was lost for a moment, so I accidentally entered this place. Senior, please be magnanimous."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's brows relaxed and he sized up Ye Xuan and Ye Xuan. "The two of you are the disciples who came to participate in the entrance examination?"
"Yes..." Ye Xuan nodded his head in agreement.
After some consideration, the middle-aged man continued to ask, "Which family are the two of you from?"
Ye Xuan quickly introduced, "Junior is a disciple of the Ye family in Ye City. He is a disciple of the Luo family."
"I don't think you two want to be ordinary disciples of your family, right?" The middle-aged man looked at the two of them suspiciously. A strange light flashed through his eyes.
"Senior is right. I am the young master of Ye family. Although he isn't the young master of Luo family, he is still the son of the master of Luo family." At this moment, since he had been asked about it, Ye Xuan didn't mind using his family's identity to scare this man.
When he said this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be startled. The Ye and Luo families were the seventeen big families of the Tian Luo Sect, and they were the sons of the master of the family. Although they were only disciples who had yet to enter the sect, they were still not people he could touch.
Rather than offending these two young masters, he might as well do them a favor and give them some face. Once the two of them became the family head in the future, wouldn't his good days come?
With the wishful thinking in his heart, the middle-aged man said with a dignified expression, "Since the two of you still don't understand the rules of the sect, I'll let bygones be bygones. Leave quickly!"
"Thank you, Senior..." Ye Xuan thanked him as he handed over a piece of Xuan Crystal. "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Senior."
Seeing this piece of Xuan Crystal that was equivalent to his annual salary, the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He couldn't wait to accept it. The young master was really generous!
Seeing the man's satisfied look, Ye Xuan smiled. No matter where he went, giving gifts was always a way to deal with things that he didn't like.
Feeling that the Strength Evaluation Stone was almost dry, Ye Xuan picked up the Strength Evaluation Stone and said with a smile, "Senior, this junior will leave first."
"Alright, alright, alright..." He called them good three times in a row. How could he care about Ye Xuan and Ye Xuan now? He put all of his attention on the Xuan Crystals and thought about how to spend this windfall.
As soon as he ran out of the alchemy workshop, Tangyuan hurriedly said, "Boss, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."
Although Ye Xuan was unhappy in his heart, when he thought about how he could reach the Level Seven after eating the Strength Evaluation Stone, he would fight with all his might for the sake of his strength!
When he saw Ye Xuan giving the Strength Evaluation Stone to his mouth as if he was possessed, Luo Chun was shocked. "Ye, I was just saying it. Don't take it seriously! This thing is not for humans to eat."
"What do you know..." Ye Xuan rolled his eyes at him and started to chew on it.
After being calcined by the earth fire, the Strength Evaluation Stone really became crispy. Although the texture had changed, the taste was even worse than eating coal balls. He really didn't know where this delicious thing was that it could make Tangyuans' dream come true '.
"Brother, is the roasted Strength Measuring Rock really that delicious?" Seeing Ye Xuan's miserable appearance, Luo Chun swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you try it?"
Seeing the Strength Evaluation Stone that was as black as a coal ball, Luo Chun's appetite immediately disappeared. "Forget it! You should eat it. I'm afraid you won't have enough."
