Chapter 169
Lingxiaogongfang City was full of people coming and going as usual, and several restaurants were also full of recreational drinkers.
"Have you heard that a strange event that never happens in a thousand years has happened in our Lingxiao Palace?" In a restaurant with a fairly good business, at a wine table by the window, a young man in luxurious clothes deliberately showed off his authenticity.
"What strange thing?" Several drinkers at the same table asked one after another.
"It's the guy named Lu Xiaotian who obtained the most Foundation Establishment Pills in the Scarlet Forbidden Land last time, but he hasn't succeeded in establishing the foundation yet." The luxurious young man smiled happily, "Lu Xiaotian, do you know that he was originally from Wangyue City?" A casual cultivator, I entered the Lingxiao Palace with me. His aptitude is really bad enough. I offended him at the beginning. After hearing the news that he came out of the Scarlet Forbidden Land, I was shocked. I didn't expect him to It’s really bad enough, dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills have failed, what a waste of those pills, reckless. If it were me, I would have succeeded several times already.”
Talking about the young man in Chinese clothes, he was both fortunate and regretful.
"Just you? It's only on the eleventh level of Qi Refining now. If you want to build a foundation, I'm afraid you have to wait a few years, and you have to have a foundation pill." Although a young drinker next to him knew the young man in Huafu, his friendship was obvious. Not too reliable, he questioned immediately, "But even if you reach the thirteenth floor, I'm afraid you may not be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill by then. Besides, Lu Xiaotian hasn't come out to show his face yet, maybe his retreat is not over yet."
"In half a year, no matter how slow the foundation building is, it will be done early. Why wait until now, if it succeeds, it will come out and show off. Only when it fails, will it be silent. Maybe this kid failed the foundation building at this time, and he has no face. Seeing people, maybe they left Lingxiao Palace with their tails between their legs."
The young man in Chinese clothes said with a look of disdain, if he succeeded, he would have held a big banquet for all his relatives and friends, and spread the word that other new foundation monks in Lingxiao Palace, big and small, would celebrate. I have been in the palace for more than eight years, and I have many friends. He knows all the monks who built foundations in the nearby peaks, not to mention Lu Xiaotian who is also in Qinglian Peak.
"It seems that I'm going to disappoint you. I don't have to leave Lingxiao Palace with my tail between my legs." A faint voice sounded from the corridor of the stairs.
The young people in Chinese clothes looked around, and saw a young man in Tsing Yi with a slightly youthful appearance emerging from the stairs. The powerful spiritual pressure coming from him is clearly a foundation cultivator, and judging from his tone, it seems that the comer is not good.
"Previously, the seniors are above, the juniors are ignorant and offended, please be generous with the seniors, and spare the juniors." The young man in Chinese clothes turned extremely pale, and knelt down on the ground begging for forgiveness from Lu Xiaotian. Although he hadn't seen him for eight years, he could still see from the brows of the ordinary-clothed young man in front of him that the person in front of him was clearly the Lu Xiaotian he had just made fun of. Thinking of the verbal offense just now, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the young man in Chinese clothes. At this time, he was full of remorse, and he didn't care about the embarrassment, so he stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the face.
"Ex, senior! The junior is criticizing the senior behind his back for no reason, please punish the senior."
Several other people also looked worried, with uneasy expressions on their faces, and pleaded guilty to Lu Xiaotian one after another. Although the foundation cultivators can't punish them for no reason in Fangshi, the premise is that they have to occupy the reason. Now they are not only criticizing others behind their backs, but also being punished When people catch the phenomenon, they will suffer wherever the lawsuit goes. Besides, the backer behind them is far worse than a foundation cultivator. Even if Lu Xiaotian didn't do it himself, many people would be willing to help.
Lu Xiaotian didn't expect to meet Guo Yun, the son of a noble family who worshiped together in Lingxiao Palace, even though he didn't have the slightest affection for Guo Yun, but at this time, he didn't have so much time to waste on such boring people. At this time, he still has business to do, he waved impatiently, "Okay, get out."
Guo Yun raised his head with an expression of disbelief, he never thought that Lu Xiaotian would let him go so easily. The others were somewhat surprised.
"Do you need me to say it a second time?" Lu Xiaotian's face turned cold when he saw that several people were still standing here in a daze.
"Yes, the younger generation will leave immediately." Guo Yun and the others happily escaped from the restaurant as if they had received an amnesty.
"These guys are really lucky to meet such a good-tempered Foundation Establishment Senior." Other Qi Refining Cultivators discussed privately.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes swept around the restaurant, and his eyes fell on the corner, occupying a table alone, on a drunk man with a sloppy beard and smelling of alcohol, he walked over and sat down and said, "This is Zhang Yang alchemist."
Lu Xiaotian didn't know anyone, so he naturally wouldn't come to this restaurant for no reason. After he walked around Lingxiaogongfang City, he didn't find a suitable alchemy furnace. Alchemy furnaces are not mass-produced like weapons. Every monk needs weapons, but not every monk needs a pill furnace.
He doesn't like alchemists who use it, as for alchemists. In the entire Lingxiao Palace, I heard that there is only one high-level alchemist and only a dozen intermediate alchemists. There are only a few dozen junior alchemists. With so few alchemists, alchemy furnaces naturally don't have a huge demand like spiritual weapons and magic weapons. So getting the right furnace is actually much harder than getting the right weapon.
He inquired around the area, and only heard that there was a junior alchemist named Zhang Yang. It seemed that something had happened recently. The success rate of alchemy was too low, and more than a dozen furnaces of alchemy were scrapped one after another. No one is looking for him to make alchemy. Zhang Yang got drunk all day long in Fangshi. So he came over with the attitude of giving it a try.
"Are you looking for me to make alchemy? You've found the wrong person. No one will trust me now, and I can't make elixir anymore. Oh, I'm still a master of foundation building. I'm sorry." After a long while, Zhang Yang finally He opened his dimly drunk eyes, smiled in a daze, and said so, but he didn't have much respect for Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian didn't take it seriously either, alchemists never judged their identity based on their cultivation, the other party used to be a junior alchemist, this identity was much more popular in Lingxiao Palace than him, a foundation cultivator, "Of course I didn't come to see you Alchemists, although I don’t know what happened to you, I don’t want to ask about it. But I take the liberty, since you can’t make the pill now, do you have the idea of selling the pill furnace?”
"I want my alchemy stove, dream!" Hearing Lu Xiaotian's words, Zhang Yang stood up in a state of confusion and shouted loudly, then poured the wine pot into his mouth, but failed to pour out half a drop of wine, Zhang Yang grabbed it in his hand The hip flask shook a few times, but it was empty inside, so naturally there was no sound. So he yelled, "Come on, man, serve me a drink."
A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper, in the mid-stage of Qi refining, walked to the restaurant and first saluted Lu Xiaotian, then looked at Zhang Yang with an uneasy expression, "Zhang Daoyou, you owed me thirty-seven low-grade spirit stones together on credit." .Small shop with small capital, do you think it’s time to settle the account first?”
"Are you still afraid that I won't be able to pay back your drink money?" Zhang Yang said angrily when he heard this.
"I dare not question Zhang Daoyou like this, but the small shop really can't afford credit. Since Zhang Daoyou can afford it, please settle the previous account first." The middle-aged shopkeeper said in a flat tone.
Zhang Yang reached out his hand to check the storage bag, and it was empty, even some alchemy materials were sold out. He couldn't help but sat back down.
"Here are forty pieces of spirit stones, and the extra pieces will be given to him for a bar." Lu Xiaotian put forty pieces of low-grade spirit stones on the table.
"Yes, I must respect my senior's instructions." The middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly said humbly, thinking in his heart that he didn't know what the relationship between the senior Zhuqi in front of him and Zhang Yang was. Fortunately, he was polite to Zhang Yang before, otherwise, if he was blamed by the senior Zhuqi, he would not be able to bear the blame.
Lu Xiaotian nodded, got up and went downstairs.
"Fellow Daoist wait a minute!"
"Have figured it out?" Lu Xiaotian stopped his figure. He put down dozens of spirit stones just now to give Zhang Yang a little favor, but he didn't have much hope. Seeing that Zhang Yang's attitude has loosened a bit, he is naturally a little happy.
"This is not a place to talk, fellow daoist, come with me." Zhang Yang sighed, and led Lu Xiaotian straight away from the restaurant, turned a few turns, and came to a dilapidated small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, there is still the smell of waste refining pills, ranging from Peiyuan Pill to Yuanqi Pill.
"How about my alchemy furnace?" Zhang Yang took out a black and crystal-like alchemy furnace from the storage bag, which was like black jade.
"The alchemy furnace cast by Haolong Stone? With your level as a junior alchemist, with such a good alchemy furnace, there is no reason why you can't make pills." A look of surprise flashed across Lu Xiaotian's face. This kind of alchemy furnace is extremely rare, and it is the best among alchemy furnaces.
"With my normal level of alchemy, there is absolutely no problem in refining pills. But in order to obtain this alchemy furnace, I spent nearly five years. I finally got this furnace, but I was accidentally attacked by someone else. Assassinated, was hunted down by the opponent, fled into the thousand-year-old ice cave and got frostbitten lung veins, now my sensitivity to firepower has been extremely low, and after a while, I may completely lose my sensitivity." Zhang Yang's face With a hint of hatred and pain on it.
Lu Xiaotian was speechless for a while, an alchemist who has lost his ability to sense firepower is not even as good as an alchemist.
Zhang Yang said bitterly, "If you can swear a poisonous oath and kill that person for me, I will give you this alchemy furnace for free, and I will not take any money. And I will give it to you now."
"I can't agree to your request. In fact, I don't really want your alchemy furnace. After spending some time, I can find some refining materials and have someone build one for me." Lu Xiaotian shrugged , although Zhang Yang's experience was unfortunate, he was not such a nosy person. He was never soft on the enemy, but he would not easily destroy people all over his family for the sake of an alchemy furnace.
"You don't want to know who the opponent is. The opponent is just a cultivating family in the qi refining period of a secular country. With your strength, you can destroy the opponent with a single raise of your hand." Zhang Yang said quickly.
"I'm not a person with a sense of justice, and I don't want to get involved in such grievances that have nothing to do with me. I can't help you with your request." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and started to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Yang shouted from behind.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Xiaotian said with a frown.
"Then let's change the deal. I was originally from the Yue country. I left my homeland after embarking on the road of cultivating immortals. It has been more than forty years ago. I originally had a son. If you can go to the Yue country and see me Is there any heir of Linggen in the family? If so, bring him back to Lingxiao Palace and accept him as a disciple so that he can take care of him. I can also give you this alchemy furnace." Zhang Yang suddenly let go of his momentum.
"What if your family members don't want it? You have experienced it yourself, the road of cultivating immortals is not easy." Lu Xiaotian said, he was not willing to do things that are difficult for others.
"Follow the fate, if they don't want to, forget it." Zhang Yang sighed.
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
"The cold air has soaked into my internal organs, and there is no cure. Even if there is, I don't have the ability now." Zhang Yang smiled wryly.
"If there are spiritual roots, I can take them to Lingxiao Palace, or let them practice on the mountain where I am, but I don't plan to accept apprentices yet, you think about it." Lu Xiaotian pondered for a while, this time he went out to practice For the mission, the nearby and more lively places have already been selected by the monk team in front. There are some remote places left, the Yue Kingdom that Zhang Yang mentioned is close to the Beiliang Kingdom. It's not too much trouble to go there.
"Well, it's good luck to get Gu Fu, a cultivator who established the foundation." Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand, and the black alchemy furnace floated in front of Lu Xiaotian. Doubts, at least it seems that you are a person who keeps your word, and I will leave my funeral to you."
It turned out that the previous one was just a temptation, Lu Xiaotian smiled when he heard the words, of course, if he directly agreed, this kind of temptation may not be a temptation. For this person, he wanted revenge the most, and entrusted the funeral. It's none of his business, Lu Xiaotian left directly after taking the alchemy furnace.
Qingyue Peak, located in the northeast corner of Qinglian Peak area, is relatively remote, with a moderate distribution of aura. In fact, Lu Xiaotian doesn't have too many requirements for the richness of spiritual energy. The spiritual power he needs for cultivation is basically obtained directly from absorbing the elixir. After all, with his aptitude, it was too slow to absorb spiritual energy directly from the air. At this speed, he might have to wait until the year of the monkey to improve his cultivation by one level.
However, at the foot of Qingyue Peak at this time, there was a young disciple standing there respectfully. Lu Xiaotian, who was flying with a knife in the air, looked familiar. Then it landed. At first glance, it was Luo Kang who took good care of him when he was a handyman. Beside Luo Kang, there was a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, who was not beautiful, but also a young girl from a small family.
"Lu, Uncle Lu!" Luo Kang was overjoyed when he saw Lu Xiaotian's face, and then quickly saluted.
"Why are you here? Who is this?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"This is my cousin, He Liping, yes, I want to send her here to take care of Mr. Lu's food and daily life, and usually do odd jobs, whatever." Luo Kang looked at Lu Xiaotian flatteringly and said.
