    In the old house.  Xiao Bin opened his eyes hazily, and what caught his eye were the concerned eyes of Lin Jue and Xiao Douzi.  "How are you feeling, Xiao Bin?" "My head hurts" Xiao Bin remembered that before, "Mr. Xiao Chen" asked him to help control the fire. For some reason, before the furnace was finished, he felt the world spinning.  , and then knew nothing.  This place is not the alchemy room now, it seems to be the bed in his own room.  "Don't get up, lie down first!" Lin Jue pressed his body down and asked, "Is it just a headache? Are there any other discomforts?" Xiao Bin rubbed his head and said, "I'm still a little dizzy.  , I don¡¯t have any strength. By the way, sir, how is the batch of pills?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter,¡± Lin Jue patted him gently, ¡°As long as you are fine, that¡¯s fine.¡±  Lin Jue's potion of elixirs was by no means ordinary. The materials alone included expensive things like purple infant grass. However, he wasted it because of his own uselessness. He couldn't help but lower his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, sir."  "It's not your fault, it's my lack of thinking." Lin Jue shook his head and took out a pill, "Take this powerful pill first, and then take a good rest. Don't think about anything." "  No, no, sir! "Although Xiao Bin is only an apprentice, he has a quick mind and a good memory, and is already quite familiar with elixirs. The Strengthening Pill is a fifth-grade elixir. Although it is a consumable, it is not cheap, and this one  Still of perfect quality.  "I'm still your boss, you must listen to me." Lin Tuo couldn't help but put the Strengthening Pill into his mouth, and said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, watch him for me, within three hours  , you must stay in bed. You are not allowed to get out of bed. If you don't take a good rest, you will have to wait for another three hours." "Yes." Xiaodouzi nodded obediently.  Looking at Lin Jue walking out of the room, Xiao Bin's eyes were a little moist. His father died early and was sold to human traffickers by his stepmother early in the morning.  Later, he was forced by the Qinghu Gang to live an inhuman life, unable to survive or die.  Thanks to this young gentleman, he took him in as an apprentice, so that he could have enough food and clothing, and more importantly, be able to live an upright life.  In his heart, Mr. Xiao Chen is not only a benefactor, boss, and teacher, but also a family member.  Lin Jue didn¡¯t think too much, in his opinion.  Giving the perfect quality elixir to Xiao Bin was just what he deserved, and it was nothing. What he was thinking about now was still the problem of the failure of the condensation elixir before.  In the past two days, Lin Jue did not refining hastily, but his mind was filled with high-grade pill furnaces and condensed pills. The previous failed processes were constantly replayed in his memory, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.  Fortunately, the Little Zhou Tian in the "Mayfly Feathering Sutra" can run automatically at any time, so that practice will not be wasted.  Opening your eyes is the elixir.  Even with his eyes closed, the elixir was still there. In this process, which was almost like being a demon without going mad, the massive accumulation he had gained as an intermediate pharmacist gradually began to come together, and the feeling of confidence became stronger and stronger. Therefore, today he decided to start refining the elixir again.  Xiao Bin was also handed over to help control the fire.  Xiao Bin¡¯s talent is actually quite good. He has mastered a lot of basic knowledge and has been able to refine a blood-strengthening elixir on his own. However, the elixir-making rate is poor and requires considerable accumulation and study.  Only then can you become an official junior pharmacist.  Logically speaking, simple fire control shouldn't be a problem. However, the intensity of operation and the mental drain on the high-grade alchemy furnace were far beyond Lin Jue's expectations. Xiao Bin couldn't hold on and fainted, and ultimately failed.  Judging from Xiao Bin¡¯s symptoms, it seems that he is mentally exhausted and needs to rest for a few days to recover. It seems that he must find someone with considerable mental power to start refining again.  Lin Jue was thinking in the yard when suddenly someone knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Manager Liu from Hetang Villa.  Lin Jue then remembered that today was the time for the Lotus Pond Literary Meeting. He had been so absorbed in alchemy these two days that he almost forgot about it.  ??Guanshi Liu is a man in his forties, with a slightly wealthy figure, a mustache, and a pair of bright eyes.  Lin Jue clearly felt that the steward's strength had reached the level of bone forging, but he did not feel arrogant. Instead, he looked very humble and saluted: "I have met Xiao Chen in Liushan, Hetang Villa.  Sir, the literary meeting has already begun. Mr. Jian did not see you attending, so he ordered me to come and invite you. " "Guan Liu is so polite. I have been so dizzy with reading these past two days that I almost forgot about important things By the way, Miss Changsun and I are here.  Are Mr. Xian here?" Manager Liu nodded: "They are all here, and Mr. Xi from the Baili Family is also here." "Baili Xi?  Lin Jue was a little surprised. Didn't this guy think it was embarrassing enough last time?  "Is there another important guest?" "I'm just a servant, I don't know many things."?.  "Guanshi Liu cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late. You'll know when you get there, sir."  " "Okay, let's go now. I will apologize to Mr. Jian later.  "Lin Jue knew that he was in the wrong. It would have been fine if he had not agreed before. Since he had agreed to attend, he was still late. It would be outrageous. "Sir, please.  "Guanshi Liu waved to the side, and the luxuriously decorated carriage rushed over immediately. The two got on the carriage and headed towards Hetang Villa. When Lin Jue arrived at Hetang Villa, the pergola in front of the lotus pond was already full of people.  . As soon as Lin Juicai appeared, he attracted the attention of many people, and many people shouted, "Mr. Xiao Chen is here!"  " "It's finally here!  " "It's good now" "" Seeing everyone's excited look, Lin Jue was a little confused. While returning the salutes to those who saluted, he looked for the whereabouts of Changsun Xiang and Changsun Xian. Soon  They found the two of them. Changsun Xiang was still dressed in green, with a veil on his back and a long sword on his back. Changsun Xian had a major change of clothes. He was wearing a white dress with silver trim and a jade medal hanging on his waist.  Holding a folding fan in his hand, he seemed to have an extraordinary demeanor, faintly overshadowing Bailixi not far away. Seeing Lin Jue's arrival, Changsun Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, while Changsun Xian laughed, waved and greeted loudly.  Lin Jue didn¡¯t expect that not only would she be late, but she would also become the center of attention. Just as she was about to walk towards her eldest grandson, she saw the owner of the villa, Yan Jian, actually leaving his seat and walking over in person, saying with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Chen."  , finally waiting for you, this rare guest.  Lin Jue had no choice but to go up to him and salute: "Master Jian, I'm sorry. I'm late for some reason. Please forgive me."  " "Just come."  Yan Jian smiled and led him to the guest seat on the left, "Most of you friends here have met Mr. Chen. Let me introduce you to him. These are the third son Zhong Kai and the fourth young lady Zhong Ying of the Zhou family in Futu City, the capital of the country."  .  " Lin Jue knew in her heart that this was the "distinguished guest" that Changsun Xian had mentioned. He came from the capital of the country and must have paid a lot of attention. He immediately saluted and said, "I have met Mr. Zhou and Miss Zhou.  ¡± Zhou Zhongkai is in his twenties, luxuriously dressed, and quite handsome, but his eyebrows are arrogant; Zhou Zhongying is about the same age as the eldest Sun Xiang, and he also carries a sword on his back. He has pretty features, but his eyebrows are slightly thicker and the tips of his eyebrows are raised.  , showing a bit of murderous intent. Zhou Zhongying nodded slightly to Lin Jue and returned the gift. Zhou Zhongkai didn't even return the gift. Instead, he sneered: "Such a yellow-tongued kid is also a celebrity in your Purple Phoenix City literary circle?  " This sentence can be called a super map cannon, which almost aroused public outrage. Even Yan Jian frowned and said: "Master Kai, this Mr. Chen is extremely talented. Even I am far inferior to him.  , Mr. Kai said this, does it mean that I, Yan Jian, don¡¯t care about you either?  "Mr. Jian, please forgive me. I have a straight-forward temper. Although Zihuang City is a small place, there are still several characters. There is definitely one Mr. Jian, and one Miss Changsun. As for the others" Zhou Zhongkai glanced contemptuously.  Glancing at the people glaring around, his disdain was obvious. Lin Jue didn't bother to deal with this kind of person who thought he was Long Aotian, and he didn't want to be the first to do so. He smiled nonchalantly and walked to Changsun Xiang's side.  Xiang nodded to him, Changsun Xian had already walked up and patted his shoulder: "Brother Chen, my uncle Chen, you are finally here.  " "It's a little late.  Lin Jue smiled apologetically at Changsun Xiang: "I'm sorry."  " Changsun Xiang nodded and said it didn't matter. Here Zhou Zhongkai was still trying to attract hatred: "Whether it is literature or martial arts, the capable come first.  Even if I am arrogant, I must at least have this talent.  If that young man or famous person is not convinced, you can compare again.  ¡± Everyone was silent immediately. Lin Jue could see that before he came, this Zhou Zhongkai overwhelmed the others and slapped these people in the face. However, Zhou Zhongkai didn¡¯t seem to be particularly quarrelsome with Changsun Xiang, even the last one  When he asked about "young master or famous person", Zhou Zhongkai's eyes fell on Lin Jue, which was clearly a provocation. Lin Jue just ignored him and spoke to Zhou Zhongkai in a low voice.  The "celebrity" that everyone was looking forward to was so timid that he didn't even dare to respond. At this moment, Bailixi stood up and said, "Master Kai, your previous poems were extremely outstanding. I am so proud of him."  Sigh.  " Everyone originally thought that Bailixi was going to fight for Zihuang City, but unexpectedly they gave in and couldn't help but feel angry. Zhou Zhongkai knew that Bailixi was a direct descendant of the Baili family, so he nodded proudly: "This Mr. Baili  The talent is also??That's pretty good.  " Unexpectedly, Baili Xi's tone changed: "However, in my heart, Mr. Kai is not the first person I admire.  The last time I was in the Lotus Pond Poetry Competition, I lost to one person. That was the real oral conviction.  " Changsun Xiang frowned. This Bailixi attack killed two birds with one stone. It not only showed magnanimity and made up for the last disastrous defeat, but also forced Lin Jue to the point where he had to face Zhou Zhongkai. For a moment, everyone's eyes were on him.  It all fell on Lin Jue. Zhou Zhongkai snorted: "Oh?  That would be better to see.  "(To be continued) ps: Thanks to Lei Xiang and Mengshu for the reward.
