Chapter 31 Goodbye Zhou Zixuan
In the world of cultivating immortals, the best companion is the alchemist.
A second-rank alchemist, as long as he is willing, no matter how poor the talent of his Taoist partner is, as long as there are enough materials, he can use elixirs to successfully build her foundation. Therefore, male alchemists are very popular among female disciples in the sect, and the same goes for female alchemists.
The purpose of cultivating immortals is to achieve immortality. After building the foundation, one can extend one's lifespan by more than a hundred years. For the sake of this hundred years of lifespan, most people are willing to sacrifice their bodies and become a vassal of others.
Especially if the alchemist is handsome, many female disciples would be willing to pay for him.
His parents did not give him a good appearance, nor did they give him an incredible talent for alchemy, so Senior Brother Zhao could only envy Li Yu in his heart.
The two talked and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived in front of a lush green mountain.
Around this mountain, within a radius of ten miles, there are medicinal fields distributed in a stepped manner. The fields are full of medicinal herbs, and many figures can be vaguely seen busy in the fields.
Senior Brother Zhao pointed ahead and said, "That 's Biyun Peak. Let's go to the peak gate first to report."
Li Yu and Senior Brother Zhao were from Danding Peak, so they could not enter Biyun Peak at will. They had to report to the peak gate first. The peak gate of Biyun Peak was at the foot of the mountain. Senior Brother Zhao was obviously not here for the first time, so he was familiar with everything here. He walked up to a disciple on duty and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Wang , you are on duty today. I'm looking for Junior Sister Zhang. Please help me pass the message."
Then, he turned back to look at Li Yu and asked, "Junior Brother Li, who are you looking for?"
Li Yu said: "Her name is Zhou Zixuan."
The disciple on duty took out a conch from his arms and said a few words to it. After a while, a figure flew down from the mountain. It was a young woman, about 27 or 28 years old, less than 30 years old.
The woman had an average appearance and a mediocre figure. As soon as she landed, she looked at Senior Brother Zhao with resentment and said, "You haven't come to see me for more than half a month."
As she spoke, there seemed to be some kind of flame dancing in her eyes.
Senior Brother Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, "You know Elder Han's temper. He always uses people to death. Didn't I come to you as soon as I had time..."
After that, he looked at Li Yu again and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Junior Brother Li. He is here to look for a friend as well."
Zhang Qianqian's eyes lit up when she saw such a handsome junior brother, and then she said, "The one who is looking for Junior Sister Zhou must be this junior brother. Junior Sister Zhou is busy in the spiritual field now, you guys come with me..."
Li Yu followed Senior Sister Zhang to a spiritual field at the foot of the mountain.
The area of this spiritual field is about one acre. Li Yu is no stranger to the herbs planted in the field. It is the blood-clotting vine that he has come into contact with a lot during this period. A familiar figure is bending over and busy in the field. It is Zhou Zixuan who has not been seen for many days.
"Junior Sister Zhou, someone is looking for you..."
Zhou Zixuan was pulling up a weed in the spiritual field. When she heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw a familiar figure. After a moment of surprise, a look of joy appeared on her pretty face. She hurried to the field and said in surprise, "Li Yu, why are you here..."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I came to see you."
Zhou Zixuan was thinner than she was more than a month ago. She looked at Li Yu and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I wanted to visit you a long time ago, but I was too busy with the spiritual field..."
Li Yu said: "It's okay, I've been busy too, I just had a few days free so I came to see you."
Senior Brother Zhao said at the right time: "You guys chat first, Junior Sister, we'll go over there."
After pulling Zhang Qianqian aside, Senior Brother Zhao asked, "Are you still the one assigning the work in the spiritual field?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Senior Brother Zhao glanced in the direction of Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan and said, "In the future, arrange easier work for the junior sister over there, and don't let her be busy in the spiritual field."
Senior Sister Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and then she became furious and said, "Newcomers are supposed to do such heavy work. You, Zhao, are you feeling sorry for her because she is so pretty..."
Senior Brother Zhao quickly covered her mouth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, Junior Brother Li is a favorite of Elder Han. Even I have things to ask of him. Whether your man lives well in Danding Peak depends on how you treat his woman..."
Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan sat by the spiritual field and talked about the past. Then he took out a few pill bottles that he had prepared long ago and said, "These are some pills that I have refined these days. You can keep them. I have written the names of the pills on the bottom of the bottles. There are pills that can stop bleeding, detoxify, restore physical strength, calm the nerves and help sleep..."
Biyun Peak cultivates spiritual medicines. Zhou Zixuan certainly knows the value of these medicines. Although these are just some low-level medicines, they are worth a lot when added together. She waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't take this. These things can be sold for a lot of spiritual coins."
Li Yu stuffed all the pills into her arms and said, "Just keep these for you. I saved them especially for you."
Although immortality is Li Yu's ultimate dream, he is also very sentimental. He doesn't have many real friends in this world. Jiang Li is one, Zhou Zixuan is one, and Chen Ming is half a friend...
Although he and Chen Ming had conflicts in the past, considering that he made him a prince and chose concubines for him, he could barely be counted as half a prince.
These pills were the only things he could afford. Jiang Li naturally didn't need them, and neither did Chen Ming since he was hooking up with a rich woman. So he had no choice but to give their one and a half cents to Zhou Zixuan.
Zhou Zixuan accepted the pill from Li Yu and said embarrassedly: "I, I don't have anything to give you."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Why are you being polite? When I can refine the second-level elixir in the future, I will also give you Tongmai Pills as much as you want..."
Zhou Zixuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you think Tongmai Pills are candy beans that can fill you up? I've asked around and found out that one Tongmai Pill costs one thousand spirit coins..."
Li Yu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Apart from practicing, he enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of flirting, playing and fighting. Although he had met many people in Kunlun, the relationships between him and them were mostly based on interests and lacked a bit of human touch. In comparison, he quite missed the days in Baiyun Temple.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and as they talked, Zhou Zixuan's face suddenly turned red.
Li Yu was also a little embarrassed.
Just as they were chatting, they suddenly heard some "hmm" and "ah" sounds coming from a small wooden house next to a medicinal field not far behind them.
Li Yu cursed in his heart, "You two bastards, are you so hungry? There are two pure and innocent beauties in the sect who have never been in love. Who can stand this kind of situation...
Both of them fell into an awkward silence.
Fortunately, they didn't last long. After about three minutes, Li Yu's ears were quiet.
Soon, Senior Brother Zhao and his friend walked out of the wooden house. Senior Sister Zhang's face was flushed, and her eyes were about to shed tears. She said to Zhou Zixuan: "Junior Sister Zhou, from today on, you don't have to worry about the matters in the spiritual field. I will arrange for other people to do it. Just follow me, and I will teach you how to extract spiritual liquid from herbs..."
Refining spiritual liquid is much easier than looking after spiritual fields, and there are also generous spiritual coins as rewards.
New disciples of Biyun Peak all have to start by taking care of the spiritual fields. They need to do this for two years before they can do a relatively leisurely job. Zhou Zixuan was very surprised, but soon said happily: "Thank you, Senior Sister Zhang..."
Senior Sister Zhang smiled and said, "We are all brothers and sisters from the same family, no need to thank me..."
When the two of them walked towards the wooden house further away, Zhou Zixuan asked Li Yu curiously, "Is this because of you?"
Li Yu shrugged and said, "Maybe. Senior Brother Zhao and I have a good relationship. Maybe he asked Senior Sister Zhang to do it. I have a good network of contacts at Danding Peak. Senior Brother Zhao has to ask me for help..."
Zhou Zixuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Senior Brother Zhao seems to be a deacon disciple. What does he want from you..."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Believe it or not, Senior Brother Zhao also asked Senior Sister Zhang to introduce me to a young and beautiful dual cultivation partner, but I didn't agree..."
Zhou Zixuan lowered her head and asked, "Why don't you agree?"
Li Yu said with longing: "Senior Brother Zhao said that when I become a first-class alchemist, there will be many beautiful junior sisters who will come to me and I can choose several..."
