Chapter 50 Asking for Advice
Zixiao Peak, Piaoxiang Pavilion.
Zhou Zixuan looked at Li Yu helplessly and said, "We agreed to be frugal, why are you here again?"
Li Yu put a piece of fresh whitebait meat into her bowl and said, "I just made a small profit of spirit coins, so I'm celebrating. I just happened to have something to ask you."
More than twenty bottles of first-level elixirs were snatched away in less than a quarter of an hour, and Li Yu made a net profit of more than 10,000 spirit coins.
In the sect, apart from exchanging Tongmai Pills , he didn't have any other spirit coins to spend. With ten thousand spirit coins, not to mention Li Yu himself, even if he added in the Tongmai Pills for Senior Sister Zhou next month, there would still be a lot left.
You can never spend it all.
Zhou Zixuan was helpless about Li Yu's extravagant spending of spirit coins, but she had no right to say anything, so she asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Yu said: "You have no future if you stay in Biyun Peak. Why don't you come and work with me?"
Zhou Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and asked unsurely: "Follow, follow you?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "I plan to take the exam to become a first-grade alchemist. When the time comes, I will need someone to help me purify the spiritual liquid. Do you want to come and help me? Every month, the sect will pay you 100 spiritual coins, and I will give you an additional 3,000 spiritual coins..."
Zhou Zixuan knew that there was usually a steward disciple beside the sect's foundation-building elders. Senior Sister Zhang, who was with her, was such a steward disciple. She was responsible for serving tea and water to the elders, running errands, etc.
But Senior Sister Zhang’s monthly salary is only one hundred spirit coins given by the sect, and the foundation-building elders will not give her any extra.
How can one recruit a deacon disciple, where the sect gives one hundred and one has to pay three thousand out of one's own pocket?
Three thousand spirit coins is exactly the price of three Tongmai Pills.
Li Yu looked at her and asked, "How about coming? Will you come? When the time comes, the sect will reward you with a separate courtyard. You can just move in and live with me to save trouble and take care of each other..."
Zhou Zixuan's face turned red, and she whispered, "You, why are you so nice to me?"
Li Yu said as a matter of course: "You are also very good to me. When you were in Baiyun Temple, you only earned fifty spirit coins for one mission, but you were willing to give me twenty..."
Zhou Zixuan muttered to herself, that was because he was good-looking. At that time, she thought that if she was not chosen by Kunlun, she would take him back to the family, and the two of them would become a pair of dual cultivation partners, and live happily together for the rest of their lives...
How could she have thought that just because she coveted his beauty at that time, she would receive such a reward now.
Li Yu urged her, "Are you willing or not? If not, I will find someone else..."
Zhou Zixuan lowered her head and said, "I, I am willing..."
…
After dealing with Senior Sister Zhou, Li Yu returned to Danding Peak to prepare for the first-level alchemist assessment.
In fact, there was nothing to prepare. With five spiritual veins, Li Yu had an advantage in alchemy. Coupled with the spiritual medicines provided by Junior Sister Zheng, Li Yu was already able to skillfully refine several entry-level first-grade pills, which was enough to cope with the assessment.
Not long after he returned to his residence, a familiar figure walked into the yard.
Li Yu was a little surprised. Junior Sister Zheng had just left for a few hours and she came again.
Zheng Keqi walked up to Li Yu and said gratefully, "Brother Li, thank you."
Li Yu was still confused. Didn’t she thank him just now? Did she forget?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Junior Sister Zheng waved her hand lightly, and an exquisite alchemy furnace appeared in front of him. The furnace was purple-gold in color, and there were many golden patterns engraved on it. It was simple and elegant, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.
Compared with this alchemy furnace, Li Yu's alchemy furnace is like the difference between Elder Sun's flying boat and Senior Sister Xu's spirit boat.
Zheng Keqi said: "This alchemy furnace can refine up to the third-level elixir. It is a thank-you gift from Master to Senior Brother Li."
"???"
Li Yu's mind was full of question marks. Junior Sister Zheng's master was the sect's fourth-rank alchemist and a powerful Yuanying stage expert. Should she thank him?
What did he do?
I do not know……
Zheng Keqi smiled and said, "Thanks to Senior Brother Li's guidance, I was able to enter the realm of heaven and man. Keqi will remember this favor. If Senior Brother Li needs any help in the future, you can come to Cuiwei Peak to find me..."
Junior Sister Zheng had left for a long time, but Li Yu was still standing there.
Did she just enter the realm of heaven?
Only Li Yu knew that the advice he had just given was nothing but nonsense. Junior Sister Zheng actually succeeded by doing what he said?
Could it be that his casual remark revealed the essence of the realm of heaven and man?
This is obviously impossible.
He himself doesn't know what the realm of heaven and man is.
It is more likely that Junior Sister Zheng herself is incredibly talented. After adjusting her mindset, she entered the realm of heaven and man by chance, and just happened to give the credit to Li Yu.
Li Yu looked at the exquisite alchemy furnace...
This is truly a windfall.
A furnace that can refine third-level elixirs is extremely precious. You can use it to refine first- and second-level elixirs at will without having to worry about the furnace exploding. This kind of furnace is generally made of top-quality materials and has better thermal conductivity. It can greatly reduce the difficulty of alchemy and improve the quality of the elixirs that come out of the furnace. Its price is sky-high.
Li Yu naturally would not refuse good things brought to him by others.
He put away the alchemy furnace and planned to go back to his room to have a good sleep and regain his energy before taking the first-grade alchemist assessment and moving to a comfortable villa as soon as possible.
Li Yu has been refining a lot of pills recently, and his energy has been seriously depleted. He needs a good rest.
Exhausted both physically and mentally, he soon fell asleep.
In the dream, he had achieved success in his cultivation, condensed the golden elixir, conceived the primordial infant, transformed his spirit and broke through the void, and achieved unity with the Tao, becoming a celestial being. He held Senior Sister Zhou in his left hand and Jiang Li in his right hand, sitting on a majestic white tiger. The world was so big, and they could roam freely, so happy...
While Li Yu was having a sweet dream, a shocking news spread like wildfire on Cuiwei Peak.
The direct disciple of Changchun Zhenren, the famous talented girl of Kunlun School, just now entered the realm of heaven that countless alchemists dream of.
The reason why the realm of heaven and man is the dream of many alchemists is not just because of that furnace of top-grade elixirs.
Having had an experience in the state of heaven and man will have a great influence on the subsequent path of alchemy. All the eight fourth-grade alchemists in the sect have had the experience of the state of heaven and man without exception.
Being able to enter the realm of heaven and man at the young age of fifteen, and possessing a strong talent for cultivation, her future achievements are limitless, and it is very likely that she will become another fourth-grade alchemist in the sect in the future.
As soon as this news came out, someone mentioned that Junior Sister Zheng had been going to Danding Peak to look for someone frequently during this period.
The champion of this alchemy apprentice competition is Li Yu.
Li Yu had entered the realm of heaven and man during the competition. Junior Sister Zheng had looked for him several times and unexpectedly also entered this realm. It was hard not to wonder if Li Yu had passed on some experience and skills to Junior Sister Zheng...
For a moment, the eyes of countless alchemists were focused on Danding Peak.
Li Yu was sleeping at this time.
He had a nightmare.
In the dream, he was hugging women on both sides, riding a white tiger, and wandering freely between heaven and earth. Suddenly, the witch appeared, pointed a sword at him, and loudly asked Li Yu why he betrayed her...
Li Yu was awakened by the fright.
Sitting on the bed, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it was just a dream.
But he soon realized another problem.
He was hugged by women on both sides in his dream... It was okay for Senior Sister Zhou, but what about Jiang Li?
Li Yu had always treated her as a brother, but after learning her true identity, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of her. After all, he had always treated her as a man. He himself didn't know how to describe this feeling...
The dream just now made Li Yu feel complicated and a little irritated.
The noisy atmosphere outside made Li Yu even more annoyed.
He planned to take part in the first-grade alchemist assessment now. He couldn't stay in this shabby place for even a moment.
Li Yu walked out of the room, opened the gate, and wanted to see what the noise was going on outside.
The situation outside the courtyard gate was beyond Li Yu's expectations.
Countless figures gathered in front of his door. Li Yu took a look and saw many familiar faces, including Zhao Wuliang, Deng Qingsong, He Jin, Liu Ren... They were all familiar faces when he participated in the Alchemy Competition. Except for Junior Sister Zheng, all the people in the top ten of the competition were present.
Seeing Li Yu coming out, everyone immediately swarmed over.
"Junior Brother Li, I'm here to discuss the Dao of Alchemy with you!"
"Junior Brother Li, I have already prepared a banquet in Piaoxiang Pavilion. Would you be so kind as to come and have a chat?"
"Junior Brother Li, I have a few questions for you..."
…
Seeing this scene, Li Yu took a step back without hesitation, closed the gate, and shouted loudly: " Everyone, I really don't know how to enter the realm of heaven and man, please go back..."
After Junior Sister Zheng returned from his place, she entered the realm of heaven and man. Li Yu was of course clear about the purpose of these people's visit.
Li Yu had nothing to discuss with them about this issue. Firstly, he himself really didn't know. Secondly, the disciples of these major sects had high talents in cultivation, but their emotional intelligence was so low.
When asking someone to do something for you, how can you show up empty-handed?
Outside the door, an elegant young man clasped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Li, I am Zhao Wuliang. This is my first visit to you. I would like to present you with ten Tongmai Pills. It is just a small gift and a token of respect."
Squeak...
The gate opened a little, and a polite voice said, "Come in."
