I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2855: Chapter 2855: He Looks Familiar

"I don’t know exactly why, but I always feel these people are a bit petty, calculating everything," Zhang Xiaoyun said:

"It’s been like this since the first day of the event, always digging traps and trying to take advantage of everything."

"You’re absolutely right. That’s pretty much how people are like around here," Lin Yi said:

"Let’s go, let’s unload the stuff first. Once that’s done, our preparation work is complete."

"Yeah, yeah."

The truck carrying the pill furnace drove to Feng’en Temple.

The disciples of Shangqing Palace unloaded it at the designated location, leaving only the start to be awaited.

Compared to the calmness at Shangqing Palace, people over at Feng’en Temple were much busier.

Li Dongying not only put on his Daoist robe but also brought out the statue of Dan God Cui Zhiyuan.

"How are our preparations going?" Li Xuanzhi said in a low voice.

"Don’t worry, Director Li, everything is arranged," Li Dongying confidently said:

"I added some Western medicine ingredients to the medicinal guide. This will make the pills at least twice as effective as before. Eventually, the whole world will know that our country’s pills have magical effects, and it will definitely create higher revenue in exports."

"Increased by two times?" Li Xuanzhi said:

"Aren’t you going a bit too far with this? Even if we didn’t enhance the effect, our pills aren’t bad, and we can still win without affecting exports."

Compared to Li Dongying, Li Xuanzhi was more conservative.

In his view, doubling the effect was a bit exaggerated, while once might be barely acceptable.

"Director Li, let’s not mention him at this time," Li Dongying said:

"He took a fake ’Cantong Qi,’ and the content must be nonsense. He can’t even successfully produce pills, let alone make them effective."

After a pause, Li Dongying continued, "What I’m doing is to gain worldwide fame; the effects must be much better than Western medicine so that people are willing to accept them. Don’t overestimate the people’s wisdom; they aren’t as comprehensive as we hope and only look at the surface things."

Li Dongying’s words made Li Xuanzhi think seriously.

"You have a point there."

Li Dongying laughed triumphantly, "Director Li, don’t worry about this matter, there will be no problems."

Li Xuanzhi nodded and said:

"I’ll leave the pill business to you, and I’ll handle everything else."

"Alrighty."

After discussing the important matters, Li Xuanzhi left.

Because in addition to the TV station people, there were many experts from related fields, all requiring his reception.

As for what these people specifically did, Lin Yi didn’t know, nor was he interested.

Quickly, both sides completed all their preparations.

The so-called experts and journalists were all set, just waiting to start.

Judging from the line-ups on both sides, Shangqing Palace indeed looked a bit shabby.

The event was formally held, with a host opening it, making Lin Yi feel a bit uncomfortable.

But considering this was Corea, coupled with their petty calculations, this whole show seemed normal.

But soon, Lin Yi realized the situation was developing in a peculiar direction.

Because a girl group came on.

Not only were those guys from there watching with interest, but even Zhang Youfu took plenty of photos.

Seriously, never can you escape a girl group.

But to be honest, those thighs were nice to look at.

Smack, smack, smack, envy the chaebol every day.

After the girl group’s opening performance, Lin Yi and Li Dongying both arrived in front of the alchemy furnace, and the main event officially began.

"Hey, why does that master look so familiar?"

The person speaking sat in the central C position, hair grizzled, wearing thick glasses, and his gaze kept lingering on Lin Yi.

The old man’s name was Jiang Zhongzhe, a top pharmacological expert of Corea.

Specifically invited by Li Xuanzhi as a judging guest.

"These days, there’ve been many reports about him online, so they might have seen him by chance," Li Xuanzhi said with a smile.

"I don’t think that’s it..." Jiang Zhongzhe muttered, saying:

"Seems like I’ve seen him before somewhere, but I don’t quite remember where."

"His identity isn’t just that of a Daoist priest from Shangqing Palace, so seeing some information about him elsewhere is normal."

"Maybe."

The conversation between the two didn’t catch Li Xuanzhi’s attention; his mind was entirely focused on the alchemy matter.

Meanwhile, Li Yongnian and a disciple of Feng’en Temple respectively brought over the materials needed for alchemy.

The experts sitting in the front began taking the materials from both sides to inspect and compare them, to avoid any fraud in this aspect.

But during the inspection, it was obvious that while examining Lin Yi’s materials, they were much more careful, using a magnifying glass to examine thoroughly for a long time.

As for the inspection of Li Dongying’s materials, it was much more lax.

They just glanced over it and deemed it qualified.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was speechless; even if you’re going to pull tricks, at least make it look convincing!

After the inspection, Li Yongnian took the materials back to Lin Yi’s side and picked up the wood from the ground.

"Uncle Master, how do we handle this?" Li Yongnian asked, holding the firewood, clueless.

"How else? Of course, by lighting it up."

"But the problem is how to light it. Isn’t alchemy all about controlling the heat?"

"It’s just the beginning; it’s not time to control the heat yet. Just light it up normally. I’ll tell you if something goes wrong later."

"Then I’ll do it boldly."

Lin Yi nodded and then began grinding the traditional Chinese medicine.

Having gone through the previous task of selling medicines, this stage could be said to be a breeze; even with his eyes closed, he wouldn’t make mistakes.

He mixed the ground serum, then stirred it with water, forming it into the required size balls, and placed them into the pill furnace when heated to the appropriate temperature.

"First heat to 1000 degrees, maintain it for 30 minutes, then down to 300 degrees, heat for an hour, then up to 1200 degrees for 10 minutes, and finally cool it down slowly."

"Got it, Uncle Master."

Once the most important work was complete, the rest was left to Li Yongnian.

However, Lin Yi still needed to keep an eye on things, to intervene promptly if any errors arose.

This was not the time to make mistakes.

But overall, Lin Yi’s side seemed quite relaxed, unlike Li Dongying’s side, where over ten people were busying about, enshrouded in fog as if ready to ascend to heaven.

"Master, look at them, looking so relaxed, are they very confident?" said a disciple from Feng’en Temple.

"Confident?"

Li Dongying snorted coldly:

"Heh... They want to be busy, but do they have the capability?"
