Qingfeng City, Lujia house.
"Pooh!"
A slight sound came from a broken room in another hospital.
In the room, a young man in blue looked at a transparent jade placed in front of him. To be exact, the teenager is not looking at the jade, but at the liquid in the jade. At this time, a white smoke with a pungent smell is slowly spreading from the liquid.
The young man's name is Lu Chen. He is a legitimate child of the Lu family.
"Failed again!"
"Hehe, I still can't be promoted to intermediate pharmacist." A wry smile gradually appeared on Lu Chen's face. He shook his head slightly and said softly.
Lu Chen is a primary pharmacist. As early as eight years ago, Lu Chen successfully refined primary medicine and became a primary pharmacist. Over the past eight years, Lu Chen has been trying to improve his medicine refining skills and wants to be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist, but he has failed to succeed until now.
This is not to say that Lu Chen has no talent in refining medicine, but... He has no attribute Constitution!
On the Tenglong continent, people without attribute physique are actually ordinary people. Ordinary people can't be strong cultivators if they can't embark on the road of cultivation.
Generally speaking, one of the foundations of becoming a pharmacist is that he must be a practitioner. It is an accident that Lu Chen can become a primary pharmacist with an attribute free constitution. If Lu Chen can really be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist, his position in the Lu family will rise accordingly.
Unfortunately, as an ordinary person without attributes, it is impossible for anyone to become an intermediate pharmacist.
In fact, a few years ago, many people persuaded Lu Chen to give up his dream of becoming an intermediate pharmacist. Because in order to become an intermediate pharmacist, Lu Chen has wasted too much herbal resources. If Lu Chen hadn't wasted his money on buying herbs for refining intermediate medicine, the wealth he has accumulated up to now is enough to make many people jealous.
Because of wasting too much money, Lu Chen has almost no savings now. All his possessions are just a few gold coins. About one hundred gold coins are needed for a material of body quenching medicine.
"Da Da!"
Just then, a burst of footsteps came.
Lu Chen's eyebrows moved slightly in the room, and then a smile appeared on his face. He quickly opened the door and went out. He happened to see a gray figure coming in from outside the courtyard door.
"Three grandfathers!" Lu Chen's kind eyes looked at the gray figure who had just come in.
The gray figure is Lu Tianxing, Lu Chen's third grandfather, Lu Chen's close grandfather and the elder of the Lu family. There are nine elders in the Lu family, and Lu Tianxing is just one of them.
"Refining medicine again?" Lu Tianxing sniffed slightly, and then said to Lu Chen in a gentle tone. He obviously smelled the smell of herbs in the air.
"Well, refining quench agent failed again." Lu Chen sighed and looked at Grandpa three and said helplessly.
Body quenching medicament is a basic intermediate medicament. If it can be refined successfully, it means that Lu Chen has been successfully promoted to an intermediate pharmacist.
"Don't lose heart. It's not easy to refine intermediate medicine. As long as you don't give up, there's hope and you'll succeed one day." Lu Tianxing said with a smile. Although he said so, in fact, he didn't hold much hope that Lu Chen could refine body quenching medicine, because Lu Tianxing knew how low it was for an ordinary person to refine intermediate medicine.
However, he will not persuade Lu Chen to give up. Even if Lu Chen keeps refining and fails, he will not let Lu Chen give up. Because, compared with Lu Chen's ability to become an intermediate pharmacist, he pays more attention to Lu Chen's tenacious spirit, which is valuable.
Lu Chen has been trying to refine body quenching medicament because of the support of Lu Tianxing. If Lu Tianxing didn't often provide the materials of body quenching medicament, Lu Chen didn't have so much money to buy so many materials frequently.
"I will work hard, Grandpa three!" Lu Chen looks at Lu Tianxing with firm eyes.
"Yes!" Lu Tianxing nodded. Suddenly, the conversation turned and said in a deep voice, "I discussed with the elder. He promised to help you speak at the adult assembly. With the help of the elder, you should be able to stay in the family."
"The elder is willing to help me?" Lu Chen's eyes moved and looked at Lu Tianxing in surprise.
Lu Chen is 16 years old this year. Lu Chen must also attend the adult Assembly held by his family this year. When the adult assembly is over, Lu Chen is an adult.
According to the rules of the Lu family, family children, whether direct or collateral, must leave the family as long as they have no attribute constitution and can't practice in adulthood. These family children without attributes are generally sent to remote places belonging to the family industry to continue to work for the family.
The children of the family sent out have no hope in their life, and it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to return to the family. Because of this, no family child is willing to leave the family compound to work in those places.
Originally, Lu Chen, an ordinary family member without attributes, had no chance to stay in the family courtyard. However, because Lu Chen was a junior pharmacist and there were three grandfathers, the family elders, Lu Chen had a glimmer of hope to continue to stay in the family. Now, with Grandpa willing to help Lu Chen speak, Lu Chen will have a lot of opportunities to stay in the family when he grows up.
Of course, if Lu Chen can be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist before the adult assembly, it will be another scene. An intermediate pharmacist is very important for a family like the Lu family. Now there are only three intermediate pharmacists and one senior pharmacist in the Lu family.
It can be said that if Lu Chen was an intermediate pharmacist, even if he offered to leave the family, the family would not agree. Of course, this year's adult conference is only half a year away. Lu Chen wants to be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist within half a year. The probability of success can be ignored.
"Yes, the elder talked to me yesterday. At the adult assembly, he promised to speak for you." Lu Tianxing smiled and nodded, looking at Lu Chen.
"Grandpa three, thank you!" Lu Chen looked at Lu Tianxing and said solemnly. Although Lu Tianxing didn't say much details, Lu Chen also knew how much Lu Tianxing had to pay to ask the elder for help. If there is not enough benefit, the elder can't help Lu Chen.
"Are you polite with Grandpa?" Lu Tianxing smiled, waved his hand and said casually.
……
The next day, Lujia treasure Pavilion.
"Eh? Isn't this land dust?" A sharp voice came from the front.
Lu Chen's eyes coagulated slightly and looked forward.
The voice was made by a young man in a white robe. The young man's name was Lu Yan. He was the direct grandson of the great elder. Different from Lu Chen, Lu Yan's position in the Lu family is far from comparable to Lu Chen, because Lu Yan is also 16 years old this year, but he is already a cultivator in the later stage of quenching.
At the age of 16, he stepped into the late stage of body quenching, which is a first-class talent in the whole Qingfeng city.
In the process of martial arts, there is bone refining first. After bone refining, the body is quenched, and then the marrow is washed. After washing the marrow, that is the awesome congenital strong man. In the whole Qingfeng City, the cultivators in the innate realm are really strong. In the whole Lu family, there are not many congenital strong people, and the Lu family is one of the three families in Qingfeng city.
At the age of 16, you can enter the late stage of body quenching, and you are likely to become a congenital strong person in the future. How can the family not focus on cultivating such excellent children as Lu Yan? What's more, Lu Yan is also the direct grandson of the family elder.
"Lu Chen, what are you doing in the treasure pavilion?"
"Ha ha, is the treasure pavilion where you waste can come? Waste who can't even step into the realm of bone refining can also come to the treasure pavilion?" The two Lu family children around Lu Yan also ridiculed Lu Chen in a strange way.
The relationship between Lu Yan and Lu Chen has always been very poor, because Lu Yan's father was hurt by Lu Yizhou, Lu Chen's father, so Lu Yan has always held a grudge against Lu Chen. If Lu Chen's grandfather were not the three elders of the family, Lu Yan might have shot Lu Chen long ago.
"My coming here has nothing to do with you!" Lu Chen looked at the three people in front of him, frowned, and then said.
"Hey, hey, it has nothing to do with us? Lu Chen, have you got water in your head? Don't you know where the family treasure Pavilion is? Did you come to the treasure Pavilion and get the permission of the owner?"
"Lu Chen, don't blame me for my bad speech. To tell you the truth, you are a waste without attributes. You can't embark on the path of cultivation and enter the realm of bone refining all your life! Are you still unconvinced? Hey hey, or you can use your internal power now. If you enter the realm of bone refining, I promise I won't stop you from entering the treasure Pavilion!" Lu Yan said sarcastically.
In fact, Lu Chen didn't come to the treasure pavilion to see the classics of martial arts. He just wanted to see the classics of refining medicine. Although he knew that he was unlikely to be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist in half a year, Lu Chen would never give up easily. Lu Chen wants to find some inspiration for refining medicine from the classics left by the master of refining medicine. Before arriving at the treasure Pavilion, he just met Lu Yan and others and was stopped by the other party.
"Lu Yan, now I'm not as good as you, but I may not be able to surpass you in the future. Now you're proud. When I surpass you, see if you can laugh." Lu Chen looked at Lu Yan and raised his mouth slightly.
Although Lu Chen can't practice and can't even step into the realm of bone refining, Lu Chen never complains about himself. If you can't make a breakthrough in martial arts, you should improve in refining medicine. Try to become an intermediate pharmacist first, and then become a senior pharmacist. At that time, the members of the whole family have to look at their face, even if they can't even step into the realm of bone refining.
"Hahaha, I've laughed to death. I've seen a lot of self righteous guys, but it's rare for you to be shameless like Lu Chen!" Lu Yan laughed recklessly, as if he had heard a big joke, but under his smile, there was a trace of malice in his eyes. In fact, Lu Yan was very angry at this time. The reason for his anger was Lu Chen's indifferent attitude, which seemed to refuse to accept anyway.
"Lu Chen, get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!" Lu Yan said in a gloomy voice that he really wanted to beat Lu Chen.
