Chapter 265: Golden Recipe (two chapters in one)

Chapter 265 The Golden Elixir (two chapters in one)

Looking at Liu Yu who had not yet bowed down, Li Changkong frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

But Zuo Zuo only accepted disciples because of the ancestor's request and the sect's convention, rather than passing on what he had learned, so there was no incident.

"Well, get up."

Li Changkong raised his hand slightly and said calmly.

Liu Yu, who had his head lowered, felt a gentle force exerted on his body, causing him to straighten up involuntarily.

Liu Yu restrained her body's instinctive resistance and straightened up obediently.

"Master, I will prepare a small gift as a gift to become my master."

"This disciple is incompetent, but if you have some thoughts, please accept it, Master!"

Taking out an exquisite jade box made of high-quality spiritual jade, Liu Yu took a few steps forward with both hands, placed it respectfully on the wooden table, and then returned to the original place.

People like them who were accepted as disciples halfway would usually prepare some apprenticeship gifts. The value of the gifts did not necessarily have to be high, the key was to show their attitude.

If you do not prepare a gift for becoming a master, it is inevitable that the conversation will be off-topic, and the master may be left with the impression that he is ignorant of worldly affairs, and the master-disciple relationship may be estranged from the beginning.

Considering that he might use his elder's name to act in the sect in the future, the things Liu Yu prepared were a little more expensive.

The master-disciple relationship should be neither too close nor too far away, and all etiquette should be in place.

This is his policy.

"Not a pedantic person."

Li Changkong nodded slightly, then raised his right hand to open a gap in the delicate jade box, and saw a ginseng lying quietly in the box.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Liu Yu seriously.

Based on his experience, he could easily identify that this was an ordinary spiritual ginseng that was five hundred years old. It could be used as an auxiliary medicine for some golden elixir-stage elixirs, and would be of great use to early-stage golden elixir monks.

Unfortunately, Li Changkong is already at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, so this 500-year-old ginseng is of relatively little value to him.

However, for foundation-building monks, the five-hundred-year-old elixir is still very difficult to find, which shows that the monks who prepared this gift spent a lot of thought.

"Yes, I'm interested."

Li Changkong praised, his voice softened a little, and his impression of Liu Yu changed slightly.

He has ordinary qualifications, but he has a good talent for alchemy. The most important thing is that he is well versed in world affairs. No wonder he is valued and recommended by the Yan family.

"As long as Master is satisfied."

Liu Yu said respectfully and cautiously.

This ordinary spiritual ginseng was naturally ripened through the Immortal Mansion, but after special treatment, it looks like it has been unearthed for ten or twenty years.

He has read so many books on spiritual herbs and handled so many spiritual herbs over the years. With his current understanding of spiritual herbs, he may not be as good as a second-level spiritual planter in growing spiritual herbs.

But when it comes to giving "special treatment" to spiritual grass, he thinks he is not inferior to anyone. After all, with the Immortal Mansion in hand, he can have the luxury to practice with spiritual grass.

No matter whether you look at the appearance of the spiritual grass or explore the vitality, medicinal power, spiritual power and other aspects inside, there will be no flaws.

The choice of this kind of spiritual ginseng, which is old enough but has no special effects, was naturally a result of Liu Yu's careful consideration.

Ordinary spiritual ginseng has simple growth conditions and is cultivated in many sects. It has no other advantages except that it is a little older, so it is not very rare and can be bought by spending spiritual stones.

But it is also useful to Jindan monks, which is beyond the apprenticeship gifts of other monks, but it is not extremely exaggerated.

This is also more in line with Liu Yu's character as a second-level alchemist who is richer than other monks.

"Since you have accepted the ceremony of becoming a disciple, you will be my registered disciple from now on, so I cannot fail to express my gratitude."

"Well, this elixir book will be given to you as a gift to meet you."

Li Changkong waved his hand and put the jade box into the storage ring, then he thought for a moment and took out a book about two inches thick.

After forming the alchemy, Li Changkong also thought about dabbling in alchemy to earn spiritual stones, but after some attempts, he found out that he had no talent for alchemy.

Since then, this alchemy book has been placed in the storage ring and has not been read for a hundred or two hundred years.

Now that I think about the identity of this registered disciple as an alchemist, it is appropriate to serve as a meeting ceremony between master and disciple.

"Thank you, Master."

Liu Yu took the alchemy book and put it into his storage bag without reading it on the spot.

But the greeting gift for the Jindan cultivator can’t be too bad, right?

Next, Li Changkong talked about the rules of the sect, such as not bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, fellow sects not allowed to kill each other, and brothers and sisters helping each other.

The most important thing is that all the knowledge of cultivating immortality taught by the Master cannot be passed on to other monks without the permission of the Master. If there is any violation, the cultivation level will be immediately abolished and the sect will be expelled!

Not only the secret techniques, but also all the knowledge of cultivating immortals is valuable!

These are normal rules and there are no unreasonable terms. Liu Yu naturally agreed.

At this point, the apprenticeship process was completed, and Liu Yu officially became Li Changkong's registered disciple.

Later, through Li Changkong's narration, Liu Yu learned that his disciples, including himself, had a total of six disciples, three direct disciples and three named disciples.

They are: Senior Sister Li Buyu, Second Senior Brother Li Bufan, Third Senior Brother Jing Yongqing, Fourth Senior Sister Lu Xue, Fifth Senior Brother Yu Jiang, and finally Liu Yu herself.

The first three are direct disciples, and the last three are registered disciples.

Among them, the senior sister Li Buyu is in the late stage of foundation building. She is not far from the peak of the late stage and is already preparing for the formation of pills. The remaining four senior brothers and sisters have all been practicing for thirty years at the latest, and they are all in the middle stage of foundation building or above.

When talking about Li Buyu, Li Changkong smiled and was obviously very satisfied with him.

For some reason, Li Changkong has three more disciples than other Jindan elders.

"Now your senior brothers and sisters have important matters and cannot gather together at the moment."

"I have sent a message asking them to take some time. You can come here again in two years and get to know each other with several senior brothers and sisters."

After briefly talking about the situation of his disciples, Li Changkong said so and arranged for his disciples to get to know each other.

In order to avoid the situation where they are both disciples of the same master and do not know each other when they meet in the future.

"Disciple, please obey your master's instructions!"

Liu Yu nodded and replied.

Being able to get to know other senior brothers and sisters and increase one's connections within the sect is of course a good thing.

Being both students of Li Changkong, the brothers are naturally closer to each other than other members of the Yuanyang Sect, and it is normal for them to help each other.

Compared with the master who can directly order his disciples, the relationship between senior brothers and junior students is equal. He can help or refuse if there is something. Liu Yu is naturally happy to move around more.

This can also be regarded as one of the aids to apprenticeship.

"If you have any questions during your cultivation, you can raise them now. I am free, so I can answer them for you."

Finally, Li Changkong touched his beard and said calmly, and only waited to answer some questions before sending this named disciple away.

They are just named disciples. The master does not need to prepare for them to practice exercises or bestow powerful secrets and spells like he does for his direct disciples.

Giving some advice is considered fulfilling one's "duty".

After all, he accepted a disciple because of the sect's custom and chose Liu Yu because of the Yan family's reputation. He did not want to pass on his own mantle at all, so he had no intention of cultivating him properly.

What's more, with Li Changkong's eyes, he could tell at a glance that Liu Yu had been building the foundation for 20 or 30 years. He already had the basic skills, and it was not easy to change them now.

"While the disciple is practicing."

When the golden elixir monk had the opportunity to give personal guidance, Liu Yu was naturally not polite and immediately asked about the difficulties he encountered in his cultivation one by one.

Of course, the questions about the fundamental Qingyang Kung Fu and the Yuanshen Kung Fu Shen Miao Fa are only discussed in a roundabout way, and will not directly expose these two extraordinary skills.

With Li Changkong in the middle stage of Jindan, it is almost as simple as eating and drinking to give guidance on issues in the early stage of foundation building.

Questions about cultivation were answered easily, but there were some questions about spiritual consciousness and soul. He had to think carefully before he could give uncertain answers.

"Okay, that's all for this guidance."

"Remember, you are not allowed to disturb my practice unless it is important, and you are not allowed to come to Tongtian Peak without a summons!"

"This transmission note can be used to contact me. If there is anything important, just use the transmission note to contact me."

About two-quarters of an hour later, seeing that Liu Yu seemed to still have many questions, Li Changkong frowned and stopped talking, took out a transmission talisman and placed it on the table.

"Yes, Master, disciples must remember the teachings."

Liu Yu put the transmission talisman into his storage bag and said with some respect.

If you have something important to do, don't interrupt him. If you have something important to say, you can use the communication charm, but you only gave him one communication charm. The purpose is self-evident, which is to stop yourself from actively looking for him.

"I really thought of it together."

As expected, this was the status quo of a registered disciple. Liu Yu secretly laughed in his heart, but this was exactly what he wanted.

"Well, back off."

Li Changkong made a faint sound, raised his arm and waved slightly.

In order to complete the task of recruiting disciples given by the ancestor of the sect, he was already a little impatient to spend so much time on a named disciple.

"Master, Wan'an, may your fortune be prosperous. Disciple resigns."

Liu Yu bowed again, then slowly walked out of Lianhu Lake and walked down the mountain.

The entire mountainside area of ​​Tongtian Peak is very wide, and there are only about twenty Jindan elders living there, so the space that each elder can occupy is naturally very large.

In addition to the cave where he lives and practices, he has also opened up acres of spiritual fields and planted some low-level elixirs in them.

Tongtian Peak is close to the fourth-level high-grade spiritual veins. The rich spiritual soil here is naturally extraordinary. It is very easy to plant some low-level elixirs. You only need to send two Qi Refining Stage disciples to take care of it a little. Every year There are a lot of spiritual stones in the account.

Near the cave are spiritual fields, lakes, buildings, etc., and in the distance are woods, grasslands, and various rare and exotic animals. Many Jindan elders will also build some entertainment venues outside the cave for recreation after practice. .

Liu Yu left the Lotus Lake and walked all the way down the mountain. What he saw was this scene.

Although I am very interested in the only fourth-level spiritual mountain in our sect and want to take a look around, I feel quite uncomfortable when I think that all the people living here are Jindan monks.

The Immortal Mansion and the Mysterious Dharma are extremely precious, and he carries a lot of secrets. If they are leaked out, he will definitely be killed. If possible, he should try not to come into contact with high-level monks.

Thinking like this, Liu Yu quickened his pace and walked down the mountain.

The elders and ancestors all live here, so monks are not allowed to fly during the foundation building period of Tongtian Peak. They can only walk on two legs when going up and down the mountain.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu returned to Zhenyang Dojo.

At this time, the crowd had dispersed, and the high platform in the center of the dojo sank again. Qian Zhijin and Cui Liang were missing. There were still twenty or thirty foundation-building monks staying in the east building.

On the other hand, the visiting monks from Waning Moon Valley and Piaoxue Pavilion are still in the same place, seeming to be waiting for their real person, but they must not run around in the mountain gate of Yuanyang Sect.

Liu Yu observed silently for a while, then took out the Soul Chasing Blade, which turned into a black light and rose into the sky, flying towards the Cailian Mountain Cave.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there is a secret technique called Invisibility Technique that specializes in hiding one's cultivation. Naturally, there is also a secret technique that specializes in exploring.

Although the third level of the hidden spirit technique is said to be able to hide it from monks of a higher level, it is hard to say whether it can be hidden if the other party happens to practice special secret techniques of detection.

Attributes can restrain each other, spells can restrain each other, and secret arts can naturally restrain each other. Therefore, Liu Yu has always been cautious about the effect of the invisible spirit technique and has not blindly believed in it.

Three hours later, Cailian Mountain was in sight, and a woman dressed in purple and wearing a silver hairpin was wandering in front of the cave.

Who is it if it’s not Jiang Qiushui!

Liu Yu lowered his light and opened the formation, held his waist and walked towards the cave.

...(a thousand words that are indescribable)

Afterwards, the two people sat opposite each other in the hall, and Jiang Qiushui began to brew spiritual tea.

"Brother, this is the income of Yudan Hall in Jinxingfang City in the past six months. Please check it."

After brewing the spiritual tea and pouring a cup for Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui untied a storage bag on her waist. At this time, there was still a faint redness on her face that had not subsided.

Because the Yuanyang Zongshan Gate in Jinxingfang City is far away and it is inconvenient to travel, as well as other reasons, the situation is now reported once a year.

"Eight Thousand Spiritual Stones"

Liu Yu picked up the storage bag and scanned it with his consciousness, instantly counting the number inside, and then frowned slightly.

I remember that when he opened the store a year ago, he put 20 bottles of Jingyuan Dan in. Now, after deducting the various consumption of the store, he only has a profit of 8,000 spirit stones.

This made him somewhat dissatisfied.

There are 450 bottles of Jingyuan Pill, and twenty bottles are nine thousand spirit stones, which is one thousand less. Doesn’t this mean that Jinxingfang City can’t even balance its income and expenditure, and it all depends on its own second-order Does the elixir hold up?

"The market competition in Jinxingfang City is more intense. We barely hired an alchemist not long ago, and his alchemy skills are very average, so very few monks in the Qi Refining Stage come to our store to buy elixirs."

"Besides, my annual salary is also included in the consumption."

Seeing that Liu Yu looked unhappy, Jiang Qiushui bit her red lips and explained, her words a little aggrieved.

Alchemists with good alchemy skills are always in demand, and one year is too short.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu frowned and relaxed, and ordered:

"In that case, let's first select one of the two alchemists from the store in Renhefang City."

"If the alchemist in Jinxingfang City is willing to sign a long-term special contract, then we can train him. If he is not willing, let him leave."

"At the same time, don't stop recruiting. There are also acquisitions of various second-level spiritual herbs. We must start after returning."

Sending an alchemist over would be enough to maintain a balance of income and expenditure. As for Sun Jule's dissatisfaction, that would not be considered.

Regarding his subordinates, Liu Yu has always been consistent in his words and cannot be refuted.

Purchasing various second-level spiritual grasses can conceal the source of the spiritual grasses for alchemy and reduce the risk of interested people noticing abnormalities. Currently, two stores are purchasing spiritual grasses, and the amount and amount are completely confidential. Other monks cannot tell the truth at all.

Even so, after the spiritual stones reach 50,000, Liu Yu will reduce the outflow of second-level elixirs.

Including the seven bottles traded with the Yan family, at most twenty bottles are leaked out every year, and the number reported to the outside world is even less. Anyway, it is not easy to check the ones in Jinxingfang City.

Liu Yu earns as many spiritual stones as he sells as many elixirs as he does not have the extremely high cost of spiritual herbs like other alchemists.

"Okay, I will listen to my senior brother's orders."

Jiang Qiushui said softly, with a gentle attitude.

After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, her worth has skyrocketed. Because she is more assured of planting the Soul Restriction, one bottle of Essence Pill every year is definitely better than many Foundation Establishment monks.

Coupled with the sect's salary, a medium-grade spiritual stone every year, and a bottle of Jingyuan Dan every three years, he definitely has more money than most foundation-building monks.

Afterwards, the two talked about some issues about the store. Jiang Qiushui also asked about the results of the apprenticeship ceremony. When he learned that Liu Yu had been chosen by Master Changkong, he was surprised, happy and took it for granted.

"If nothing happens, you can go back to the store."

Half an hour later, Liu Yu picked up the tea cup and said calmly, the meaning was very obvious.

"Are you going back to the store so soon? I want to stay a little longer."

Looking at the extremely familiar person in front of him, Jiang Qiushui said softly with resentment in his eyes.

It seems to be conveying some kind of "movement" signal.

But she was destined to be disappointed. Liu Yu's face was expressionless, unmoved at all, and he was in a state of being as holy as a Buddha.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiushui's face flashed with disappointment, he pursed his lips and had to stand up, slowly walking out of the cave, pausing several times during the process.

After Jiang Qiushui left, Liu Yu activated the formation to protect the cave, then took out the alchemy book given by Li Changkong from the storage bag and looked at it carefully.
