24 Solar Terms

  Chu Xiao's refined Pei Yuan Dan successfully passed the dan-making master qualification examination presided over by Bi Changchun, and was affiliated with the Ziyun Branch of the Alchemy Association, thus having an official title of Third-Rank Alchemist.

  Moreover, in Chu Xiao's official data, he received high praise from Bi Changchun.

  Bi Changchun wanted to include his achievement of creating the insecticide "Ling Xue" in Chu Xiao's official records, but was rejected by Chu Xiao. After all, if this were to happen, it would probably not bring peace.

  After all, the significance of the insecticidal liquid is too great. Once it's publicized, it will attract the attention of countless people, and Chu Xiao doesn't want to be the one to take credit for it.

  "Haha, Chu Xiao, with your age and achievements, you've already created a miracle. What's even more rare is that you're not arrogant or impatient, and you understand the principle of being low-key. However, as the founder of the insecticide, it must be noted in your profile. Don't worry, I'll increase the confidentiality level, only those at the level of vice-president and above can view it."

  Bi Changchun's thoughts were more profound than Chu Xia's.

  Chu Xiao had no choice but to agree.

  Under the guidance of Bi Changchun, the registration of the insecticidal liquid of the same name went very smoothly and soon obtained the trademark.

  The Chu army couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, having Bi Changchun's connection was indeed not bad. Originally, according to his idea, if they followed the normal procedure, it would probably take several more days.

  After everything was settled, Chu Xiao and his family of three were about to bid farewell to Bi Changchun when he suddenly smiled at Chu Xiao and said: "Chu Xiao, are you interested in becoming my personal disciple?"

  As soon as this was said, the scene fell completely silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

  Everyone stared at Bi Changchun in disbelief.

  Becoming a direct disciple of a great alchemy master has too many benefits, it's like taking a shortcut to heaven. Compared to entering the Dan Ding Sect, it's thousands or even tens of thousands of times better. I don't know how many alchemists would risk everything just to get pointed out by Bi Changchun once. If Bi Changchun were to announce that he was recruiting a direct disciple, I wonder what kind of commotion it would cause and how many alchemists would rush to grab this opportunity.

  Even if it was Chu Jun, at this moment his face turned bright red with excitement, he knew the significance of Bi Changchun accepting Chu Xiao as his personal disciple.

  Chu Xiao was slightly stunned, his mind hadn't fully reacted yet. If he were to enter the Dan Ding Sect, he could refuse, but now that Bi Changchun had taken him as a personal disciple, he couldn't refuse anymore. Although he was confident that with the Cultivation System, he could reach even greater heights than Bi Changchun in the future, for now, he was just a small fry, and compared to Bi Changchun, a renowned alchemy master, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

  Besides, Bi Zhiyong has been very kind to himself and should be considered as having done his utmost duty. Refusing again would indeed go against common sense.

  Such a master of alchemy has extremely high standards for recruiting personally transmitted disciples, and it is clear that he has taken notice of Chu Xiao's astonishing talent in alchemy.

  Chu Xiao's mind began to turn, and he thought that becoming a disciple of this alchemy master wouldn't be a bad thing. At the very least, it would guarantee his status, and such a status would bring him great benefits in the future, saving him from countless troubles. For example, setting up a factory to produce the Ling Er's insecticide could be seen as a future trouble magnet, after all, this insecticide was too valuable, and it would definitely attract many prying eyes. If he had a powerful backer, that wouldn't be a bad thing either.

  Bi Changchun saw that Chu Xiao seemed to be considering, and immediately smiled: "You don't have to rush to answer, you can go back and think carefully, if you decide, come find me, this is a message spirit symbol."

  As he spoke, he took out a jade token from a special storage space on his hand and handed it to Chu Xiao.

  "Okay, Grandpa Bi, we'll go first."

  Chu Xiao took it over, looking at the gleaming jade token, on which was engraved a single character "Bi". In his heart, he secretly sighed, the great alchemist was indeed extraordinary, the message tokens they used were all so high-end, and this one was actually a specially made top-grade communication spirit token, yet it was given to him so casually.

  Bi Changchun watched as Chu Xiao and the other two left, stroking his beard and revealing a faint, subtle smile.

  "Uncle Bi, we've never seen you so eager to take on an apprentice!"

  An old senior alchemist sighed.

  "Hehe, loving is anxious, this Chu Xiao, the talent for alchemy is extremely high, as long as he develops in this direction, his achievements will be boundless. How can I bear to see him waste it like this?" Bi Changchun laughed and said.

  "However, Bi Lao's spiritual root is slightly lower, I'm afraid..."

  Another senior alchemist hesitated.

  "This is nothing, in this world, there are indeed divine pills and elixirs that can enhance one's spiritual roots." Bi Changchun shook his head with a smile.

  .....．

  After leaving the Alchemy Division Meeting, the three Chu army men rushed straight to Da Shou Ling.

  Da Shou Ling Xing is one of the three major spiritual paths of the Xiūzhēn Alliance and directly belongs to the Da Shou Wealth Group.

  The staff of the Linghang Bank warmly welcomed the three people from Chu Jun, but of course, the service attitude is one thing, and whether they can get a loan is another matter. In fact, this aspect is quite difficult, unless you have connections and power, it's hard to say whether they will lend money or not.

  The one negotiating the loan with the Chu army was a high-ranking officer named Li Huagui under the banner of Dashouling, a plump middle-aged man who looked clean and tidy, obviously belonging to the kind of person who is good at dealing with all sides.

  He listened to Mr. Chu's account and smiled: "Mr. Chu, in your case, it should be said that the loan is not difficult, but our Dashouling Bank has recently introduced new regulations, and the review of loans will be more stringent. Therefore, Mr. Chu, you must first submit the application materials and wait until you have passed the qualification review before you can get a loan."

  "How long will this audit take?" Chu Jun was quite disappointed, originally according to his idea, he should be able to get the loan directly, after all, when he created the Chu Studio before, he had borrowed money and it wasn't so troublesome.

  "This one, the normal cycle is five to ten days, of course, if you go through a special procedure, it can still be shortened."

  Bai Pangzi Li Huagui smiled and said.

  When he mentioned the special program, his tone was slightly heavier, with implications that are worth pondering. Chu Jun is not a novice who doesn't know the meaning of this fat man's words, and it's likely that he wants to ask for benefits before handling the loan.

  The Chu Xiao sitting next to him pouted, it seems that no matter what world he goes to, this kind of atmosphere is very popular!

  He was fiddling with a jade token in his hand, which was the message spirit token given to him by Bi Changchun. At this moment, he was using the Cultivation System to examine the structure of the token and found that it was extremely complex, containing several large array formations within.

  The Rune Array is composed of numerous runes combined together, and it's far from being comparable to just combining runes.

  Bai Pangzi Li Huagui saw the thoughtful look of the Chu army and felt quite pleased in his heart. He wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be given a good deal, otherwise, it would be possible to card him dead during this audit cycle. He could see that Chu Xiao urgently needed this loan.

  He glanced at Chu Xiao and Chu Yao beside him, saying casually: "Mr. Chu, you are a pair of children, one look and I can tell they are excellent... uh!"

  Suddenly, Li Huagui's voice came to a halt, issuing a rolling sound from his throat. His eyes were fixed on the message spirit symbol in Chu Xiao's hand, or more precisely, the ancient and clumsy text on the message spirit symbol - Bi.

  "Hey kid, where did you get this communication spirit symbol from?"

  Li Huagui's voice was somewhat trembling as he said.

  Chu Xiao, standing on the opposite bank, watching the fire, quickly guessed Li Huagui's thoughts. He estimated that he had recognized this communication spirit symbol and immediately said: "This is given to me by Bi Grandfather of the Alchemy Division Meeting. He said he wants to take me as his apprentice, I'm still considering whether to agree or not. Ah, it's really a headache!"

  He casually said it and shocked Li Huagui so much that he almost fell off the sofa.
