Chapter 26: With these conditions, why do we need an alchemist? "This mission..." The expression of the demon cultivator in the Mission Hall kept changing, his face was extremely complicated, he was crying and laughing, as if he was going crazy. "I accept this task." Xu Gu was silent for a moment. After thinking for a while, his brows relaxed. He did not embarrass the staff member and said lightly. "Ah?" The white fox sitting on Xu Gu's shoulder jumped up upon hearing this, its fur standing on end, and asked in surprise, "Are you crazy?" It looked like it was looking at a fool. After reading the content of the task, it was completely embarrassing! It's simply impossible to do it! It was already suspecting that the two Heavenly Demon elders were deliberately making things difficult for Xu Gu. The wisest choice, of course, is to refuse! Then, go find Huan Caiyi, Li Shaobai and others, unite together, go find the eldest senior brother, and report these two demon elders for abusing their power for personal gain! When cultivating magic, the most important thing is to be able to write reports! "What? Junior brother, you... Thank you, junior brother!" The demon cultivator was stunned for a moment, doubting his ears. After a moment, he realized that Xu Gu actually accepted the task! He was extremely excited and ecstatic, and was even more grateful to Xu Gu to the point of tears. Finally, he no longer had to be in a dilemma, and he almost trembled as he promised: "Brother, don't worry! You can do this task first. I will also find a way to ask the two elders to find out if they sent the wrong task."
He was a little dazed for a moment. Is this really the scene that would happen in the devil's cave? This junior brother is such a good person! Who said he was so evil? Stand up! I'm the first to disagree! Of course, these words were definitely polite. The tasks assigned by the Heavenly Demon Elders all had strict procedures and there was no chance of mistakes. He would not ask. Xu Gu walked out of the mission hall without saying much. "Junior brother, take care. Come back to the mission hall later and I will give you privileges!" Seeing Xu Gu accept the mission and leave, the demon cultivator who was guarding the mission hall felt a myriad of emotions and couldn't help but make a promise. Although, he knew in his heart that after accepting this task, Xu Gu would never have a future. "Are you really going to accept this mission?" After walking out of the mission hall, Baihu was still in great shock and asked in disbelief. The tone sounded more like a question. Then, holding his ears, he sat on Xu Gu's shoulders in despair, took out his bag silently, put it on his back, and wiped away the invisible tears in his eyes: “We are a man and a fox, and although we are half brothers, things have come to this point. It would not be appropriate for me to continue staying here, as it would easily affect your mission. "Please send me to Senior Sister Caiyi. "Don't worry, I will come to see you every Qingming Festival." "..."Xu Gu was speechless for a while. As expected of a fox who cultivates magic, he absolutely does not believe that she is not rebellious. He is not good at anything and is the best at running away. "Don't worry." Xu Gu raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "I know what I'm doing." White Fox became interested and asked quickly, "Are you going to report them? Were you collecting evidence just now?" Xu Gu grabbed the white fox's tail and lifted it up: "You are just a rebel, but you don't have any brains, right? You reported two Heavenly Demon Elders? Are you tired of living?" If it is the right way, there is still some hope for suing the two standing committee elders, and at most there will be some trouble afterwards. Who knows, it might trigger some plot of "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west".
But in the magic world, doing so will only lead to death, and you won’t even be able to wait until after the fact. After all, he is a demon cultivator, and he knows too well what demon cultivators think. "Then you know where it is buried?" The white fox hesitated. "..." Xu Gu resisted the urge to chop the white fox into pieces and said leisurely, "I already know the true intentions of the two demon elders, so I accepted it." Besides, he had no right to refuse a mission personally assigned by the two Heavenly Demon Elders. The white fox scratched his head: "What's your intention?" "Didn't you notice the changes in the Demon Cave?" Xu Gu looked around with deep eyes: "The Demon Cave was not like this before. "And now the demon cave is gradually transforming into the 'Great Love Immortal Sect' that I deduced and built in the illusion." He had discovered this a long time ago. Buildings such as the Sutra Repository, the Martial Arts Arena, and the Mission Hall are all newly built. The Alchemy Peak, the Talisman Painting Peak, the Weapon Refining Peak, and the Spiritual Medicine Field, which are not yet open to disciples, are also under construction. Just by looking at the newly built buildings such as the Sutra Repository, the Martial Arts Arena, and the Mission Hall, one can tell that this transformation of the Demon Cave is exactly the same as the 'Great Love Immortal Sect' that he transformed the Demon Cave into in the illusion. Obviously, the higher-ups in the Demon Cave were copying his operations in the illusion. "What do you mean?" The white fox did not see what Xu Gu did in the illusion and was confused. Xu Gu did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Elder Chihuo and Elder Lanyan were ordered to build the Alchemy Peak. Then, the construction of the Alchemy Peak encountered difficulties and needed to find a large number of alchemists. “They couldn’t do it, so they handed the task over to me, the chief architect of the reform and development of the Demon Cave! "So, the content of this mission is actually very simple. Just bring back enough alchemists." The white fox narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward, and asked doubtfully: "Is that so?" It thought about it for a moment. Although it didn't understand anything, it felt that it did make sense. "But, alchemists are not easy to find! Where can we get so many alchemists? Even if we find them, they will be wanted by the righteous forces!" The white fox frowned. Even if he could settle for the second best, this task was not easy. If it were easy to get an alchemist back, then the various forces of the demonic world wouldn't be without even a single alchemist. "Why not call Huan Caiyi and the others? They are all very capable!" Baihu thought for a moment and said. The logic is very simple: with more people helping, the probability of success will be greater. Xu Gu's eyelids jumped. Of course, asking them for help could quickly complete the task. But if he really asked them, I'm afraid it wouldn't take long for the entire demon cave to become righteous. With the personalities of these five people, they can arrange for all the righteous monks to come in. At that time, the demon cave will not be looking for righteous undercover agents, but for evil undercover agents. "It's not necessary." As the chief architect of reform and development, Xu Gu said confidently, "Why does an alchemist have to be an alchemist?" "What do you mean?" The white fox scratched his head, somewhat confused. "Just find some chefs." Xu Gu said casually. With the conditions in the magic cave, there is no need for an alchemist or a chef!
"Ah???" The white fox stared at Xu Gu in astonishment with its eyes wide open. It even stretched out its furry white paws and touched Xu Gu's forehead, as if wondering if Xu Gu had lost his mind: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Gu explained meaningfully: "As a chef, the most important thing is to use the ingredients and control the heat. "Alchemists are best at using medicinal materials and controlling the temperature. As we all know, medicinal materials and food materials have always been inseparable. “The relationship between these two professions is closer than you think. "Chefs, with a little training, can become a distinguished alchemist." "Is that so?" The white fox blinked his eyes, with an expression that said, "I haven't read much, don't lie to me." He questioned, "If refining pills is so easy, why are there so few alchemists out there?" Xu Gu said as a matter of course: "Outside, if you want to become an alchemist, you need to go to the Alchemy Association to take an exam. There are a fixed number of places each year, so of course there are few alchemists. "Without an alchemist's license, no one will dare to employ you. If you do, you will be fined by the government or even sentenced to prison! "But in our Demon Cave, do alchemists still need to take a test to get a certificate?" "No need." White Fox said. In the Demonic Path, everyone is a wanted criminal, so they are not afraid of being fined for hiring an unlicensed alchemist. Xu Gu said: "That's right. Not only do we not need it, we also support working without a license. Anyway, the fate of the demon cultivators is not calculated, so it doesn't matter if they are occasionally harmed by demon cultivators. "So why are we looking for alchemists? We can just find some chefs and that'll be enough." "Hiss, that seems to be the case." The white fox felt that there was something wrong with what Xu Gu said, but he couldn't find any words to refute it. He just felt his scalp itchy. (End of this chapter)
