Before.
Liu Ruyan suspected that Lu Fan was an alchemist, so she respected him very much.
Now hearing that Lu Fan actually needed an alchemy furnace, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Isn't Master Lu an alchemist? Why doesn't he have an alchemy furnace?"
As Liu Ruyan asked this, the gray-robed old man behind her also looked at Lu Fan strangely.
Lu Fan noticed the change in their expressions, and he turned his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, my alchemy furnace is broken, so I need a new one."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I never thought that Mr. Lu, so young, is actually an alchemist."
Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Fan with admiration.
"I wonder if Pavilion Master Liu has an alchemy furnace here?" Lu Fan continued to ask.
"If someone else asked me this, I would naturally say no! But if Mr. Lu asked me, it would be different." Liu Ruyan said with a charming smile.
"So, Pavilion Master Liu has it?"
"It's a must."
"Mr. Lu, please come this way."
As Liu Ruyan said this, she took Lu Fan into the warehouse of Baibao Pavilion.
After arriving at the warehouse, Liu Ruyan asked Lu Fan to wait at the door and then walked in herself.
After a while.
Liu Ruyan came out holding a black furnace.
This furnace is not very big, only about a foot in size.
There are strange patterns carved around the furnace.
Looking at the black cauldron that Liu Ruyan took out, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Could this be the alchemy furnace?"
This was the first time Lu Fan had seen this kind of thing. Although he was extremely excited, he pretended to be calm on his face. After all, he had just admitted that he was an alchemist.
"Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with this alchemy furnace?"
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan handed the alchemy furnace to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan reached out to take it, pretending to be familiar with it, and looked it up and down.
"This furnace tripod was found by our Treasure Pavilion several years ago. Since it has never been used, it has been kept in our warehouse."
Liu Ruyan preached like this.
"Well, although this furnace is a bit old, it's still in good condition..."
Lu Fan pretended to be serious.
Hearing Lu Fan say this, a smile broke out on Liu Ruyan's face.
"Master Liu, tell me, how much silver can you sell me for this furnace?"
Lu Fan didn't care whether the alchemy furnace was old or new. The only thing he wanted now was to be able to make pills, so he immediately asked Liu Ruyan for the price.
Liu Ruyan said, "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. If you really like this alchemy furnace, I will take the initiative today and give it to you."
"Send it to me?"
Hearing this, Lu Fan could hardly believe his ears.
Although he was not very clear about the price of the alchemy furnace, he also understood that there is no free lunch in the world.
Besides, the beautiful Liu in front of me doesn't seem like someone who would suffer any loss...
Why would he give me such an expensive alchemy furnace for no reason?
"Master Liu, you are joking. How could you give me such a valuable thing so casually?" Lu Fan said.
Liu Ruyan lifted her hair and said, "What I said is true, but... I also want Mr. Lu to do me a favor!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Fan immediately understood.
No wonder this beautiful Liu gave me the alchemy furnace for free. It turns out she had something to ask of me.
"I wonder what Pavilion Master Liu wants me to do for you?"
Lu Fan asked.
"This matter is very simple. All Mr. Lu needs to do is join our Treasure Pavilion and become my resident alchemist." Liu Ruyan said.
"Join the Treasure Pavilion?"
When these words came out, Lu Fan was stunned.
"Yes! Mr. Lu, rest assured, if you can become our Baibao Pavilion's alchemist, you will not only be able to enjoy all of our high-quality resources, but you will also enjoy our protection! This matter is a hundred benefits for Mr. Lu, with no harm at all! Perhaps the only problem is that you may need to refine more high-quality pills for us in the future."
After listening to Liu Ruyan's words, Lu Fan finally understood the situation.
It turns out that this beautiful Liu wants to win me over.
But his identity as an alchemist was fake...
He has never refined any pills yet...
Even if I practice...
What he made was a poisonous pill!
But Lu Fan obviously couldn't tell this to Liu Ruyan in front of him.
After all, if I tell her, what if Liu Ruyan doesn't sell her alchemy furnace?
While Lu Fan was lost in thought, Liu Ruyan asked again, "Master Lu, are you worried about something?"
"I... am not worried about anything else. I just want to ask, after I join your Treasure Pavilion, do I only need to refine pills?" Lu Fan asked.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan was lost in thought.
It seems like joining this treasure pavilion is not impossible...
I heard Sima Hong say before that the power of Baibao Pavilion is unimaginable.
Moreover, Baibao Pavilion has countless branches in Daqing Dynasty.
If I really join the Baibao Pavilion and can get the protection of the Baibao Pavilion in the future, it would not be a bad thing.
"I wonder if Mr. Lu would be willing to join our Baibao Pavilion and become our resident alchemist?"
Liu Ruyan blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Fan and asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Fan looked up and said, "Since Pavilion Master Liu has said so, then I agree..."
"That's great. Welcome Mr. Lu to join us." Liu Ruyan was immediately happy when she saw Lu Fan agreed.
Next.
Liu Ruyan briefly explained the requirements for becoming an alchemist in Baibao Pavilion.
The first thing is to refine pills for Baibao Pavilion.
As for the medicinal materials and resources needed for alchemy, they are all provided by Baibao Pavilion. To put it bluntly, Lu Fan only needs to provide the alchemy technology.
The second point is that we have to visit a branch store once a month and hold a meeting.
As for the others, there is nothing.
After hearing Liu Ruyan state these two conditions, Lu Fan nodded immediately: "No problem."
Seeing Lu Fan agree so readily, Liu Ruyan was overjoyed.
"Haha, I, Liu Ruyan, finally have my own alchemist. When I go to the headquarters for a meeting, I wonder which of those bastards dares to look down on me?"
Lu Fan didn't know how important an alchemist was in the Treasure Pavilion.
For example, Liu Ruyan is now just the owner of a small treasure pavilion in Yunzhou County, but with Lu Fan's identity as an alchemist, she can immediately be promoted several levels in the treasure pavilion!
But Lu Fan didn't know all this.
The only thing he was thinking about now was that as long as he didn't suffer any loss, it would be fine.
What's more, after joining the Treasure Pavilion, you can get some resources and alchemy materials for free. Why not do it?
After Lu Fan agreed to be the alchemist of Baibao Pavilion, Liu Ruyan became happy.
In this way, Lu Fan chose to join Baibao Pavilion and became the resident alchemist of Baibao Pavilion.
