Chapter 80: Two-Way Running
Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan walked out of the formation, and the first-grade alchemists who had just left were still waiting there.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Li for winning the championship!"
"congratulations!"
…
Fang Jin, Chen Shuo, Zhang Xin and others all bowed to Li Yu and congratulated him. They were really happy for Li Yu from the bottom of their hearts. This competition was not just a competition of alchemy among Kunlun disciples, but also involved the honor of the sect.
If Li Yu had not won the championship, they would be the ones who would be put on the pillar of shame afterwards.
At this moment, they were even happier than when they won the championship in previous competitions.
Next up is the awards ceremony for the competition.
The reward for the champion of this competition is a fifth-grade pregnancy pill. Except for him, the reward for the top five is a second-grade incense burner. The reward for the next few is 10,000 spirit coins.
A third-rank alchemist, holding a palm-sized square jade box in both hands, handed it to Li Yu under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
Although the jade box is light , the things inside are extremely heavy.
It was a milky white pill with four dan patterns on it. The jade box was engraved with complex runes that locked up the pill's fragrance and spiritual energy. It was the pregnancy pill that was made by a fifth-grade alchemist in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Li Yu wanted to put it into the storage ring, but found that the jade box did not respond at all.
It seems that this fifth-level elixir, like the fourth-level talisman, cannot be stored in the storage space.
The pill is now in hand. Li Yu plans to return to Ziyun Peak with Zhou Zixuan and find a suitable opportunity to give the pill to Jiang Li.
The fifth-level elixir is so precious that if Li Yu gave it to someone else, he would probably be reluctant to give it. But if he gave it to Jiang Li, he would not hesitate at all. After all, the most expensive things on him were given by Jiang Li.
Moreover, with his current status and strength, he cannot protect a fifth-level pill.
The scene of Elder Sun being possessed by the devil was still vivid in his mind. He didn't want to be hunted down by late-stage Jindan powerhouses from both the righteous and evil worlds as soon as he left Kunlun Cave Heaven.
This pill is enough to drive those powerful people who have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage crazy.
Before Li Yu left, a rainbow light came from the sky and landed in front of Li Yu.
He was an old man with a gaunt face. After he appeared here, both the first-grade alchemists and the third-grade alchemist bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings to Grandmaster Taiyi."
The old man looked at Li Yu with a smile and said, "To be honest, this pregnancy pill is of great use to me. I wonder if you are willing to transfer this pill to me. I can exchange it with pills, talismans, and magic tools of equivalent value. If you are willing, I can also accept you as my personal disciple, and swear on the immortal way that I will ensure that you can form a golden pill in this lifetime..."
He did not deliberately conceal his voice. Countless people around Lingyun Peak heard what he said, which immediately caused an earthquake among the low-level disciples.
"The direct disciple of Grandmaster Taiyi?"
"Junior Brother Li is going to be very successful!"
"Fame, strength, beauty, background... he has it all!"
“This is so enviable…”
…
The Kunlun disciples did not hide the envy on their faces.
Patriarch Taiyi is a powerful man in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he will surely advance to the Spirit Transformation stage in the future. In other words, as long as Li Yu agrees, he will have a master in the Spirit Transformation stage in the near future. Not to mention in Kunlun, even in the world of immortal cultivation, he will be able to walk sideways.
Moreover, Patriarch Taiyi did not want to ask for the pill, but to exchange it for a large amount of resources. With Li Yu's current level of cultivation, he would not need the pregnancy pill within a few hundred years, and it is very likely that he would not need it in this lifetime. It is not a good thing to have such a precious treasure.
A pregnancy pill is enough to drive all practitioners in the late Jindan stage crazy. Regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, they will probably keep an eye on his movements.
Using it to exchange for the identity of a Divine Transformation disciple and the promise of a future Divine Transformation powerhouse is undoubtedly the best outcome.
Facing this late Nascent Soul elder, Li Yu showed no hesitation and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior. This pill is a gift from me to Junior Sister Jiang. I won't exchange it for anything."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence around Lingyun Peak, and then there was a complete uproar.
"Junior Brother Li, you are confused!"
"Do you know what you are rejecting? This is the future God-Transforming Ancestor!"
"A fifth-level pregnancy pill, just given away for free?"
"Hey, why didn't I get Even if I don't have to give you the talismans and magic weapons, I would still agree!"
Most of the male disciples expressed their incomprehension of Li Yu's behavior, and some even wailed for him.
They really care about Li Yu.
But there are also some female disciples with delicate minds, whose beautiful eyes are full of brilliance, who have different views on this.
"A fifth-level elixir, just given away as soon as it was said, what kind of divine relationship is this?"
"I'm so envious of Junior Sister Jiang..."
"If there is someone who treats me this well in this life, I would do anything for him!"
"Junior Sister Jiang is also very good to Junior Brother Li. They are going both ways..."
…
Before today, most of the Kunlun disciples believed that Li Yu was a gigolo because of Junior Sister Jiang. Without Junior Sister Jiang, he would not have the strength he has now, let alone make it into the top ten of the trial list.
But after today, Kunlun disciples' impression of him will change drastically.
Even if Junior Sister Jiang gave him a lot of spirit coins and Tongmai Pills, how could they compare with the fifth-grade pills? If you say he was a gigolo, it was Junior Sister Jiang who was eating his gigolo, no, it was his free meal.
On a mountain peak somewhere, Xu Qingxin glanced at Jiang Li beside her, but saw that she just lowered her head and giggled.
At Lingyun Peak, when Lu Tai saw that Li Yu refused so straightforwardly, he didn't say much, but said regretfully: "In this case, I won't force it."
After saying that, he turned into rainbow light again and headed towards Yuling Peak.
Just as Li Yu was about to leave, another person landed beside him. He was a third-rank alchemist with three elixir patterns embroidered on his chest . He smiled and said to Li Yu, "The master has summoned you to Yuxu Peak."
A moment later, Yuxu Peak.
Li Yu was led by the third-rank alchemist through a hall and came to the square behind the hall. There were many graceful cranes here, which raised their heads from time to time and made pleasant calls. Among the cranes, a woman in white with her face covered by a veil was combing the feathers of a crane.
Li Yu recognized the woman's identity at the first moment.
The head disciple is Qin Keren.
He was also the Kunlun genius that the witch asked her to pay special attention to.
A light cough came from the side, and Li Yu then noticed that there was a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe standing over there. There was no need to guess his identity. Li Yu immediately turned around, clasped his fists, and said, "Kunlun disciple Li Yu, meet the master."
This was the first time Li Yu met the head of Kunlun.
Before today, Li Yu's understanding of him was limited to the second name on the trial monument.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Yu with a smile on his face and said, "You have made great contributions to the sect today. Tell me what reward you want."
Li Yu began to like this master. He was straight to the point without any nonsense. It was very comfortable to communicate with such a person.
However, due to the human relationship, Li Yu still had to be modest. He clasped his fists and said, "Master, as a disciple of Kunlun, it is my duty to protect the honor of the sect. I have already received the rewards in the competition, and I am satisfied."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "You deserve the reward for the competition. This time, the Tiandao Sect had bad intentions and almost made Kunlun lose face. You deserve a generous reward for restoring the honor of the sect..."
Big reward?
After being polite, Li Yu of course began to seek more realistic benefits for himself.
What is the identity of the headmaster? He is the headmaster of the second largest sect in the righteous way. The reward he mentioned must be much, much greater than what Li Yu himself understood.
Li Yu originally wanted thirty Tongmai Pills, but now he thinks that his vision is too narrow.
After careful consideration, Li Yu said, "How about four hundred Tongmai Pills?"
He had already calculated in his mind that 400 Tongmai Pills would not only allow him to cultivate his five spiritual veins to perfection, but also help Senior Sister Zhou cultivate her single spiritual vein to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and even allow Ling'er to cultivate her Qi to perfection...
Wow, this saves so much time.
"Four...four hundred Tongmai Pills?"
Wang Daoxuan’s smile froze on his face.
This kid, does he really think that Tongmai Dan is candy beans?
Although there are many alchemists in Kunlun who can refine Tongmai Pills, the main ingredients of Tongmai Pills are very scarce. The monthly output of the entire sect is only about one thousand pills. Among them, half are exchanged for resources with other sects. The remaining half is mostly provided to the disciples and descendants of the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage. A small part is sold in Danxin Pavilion to motivate low-level disciples...
Although he is the head of Kunlun, he can only dispose of thirty Tongmai Pills every month, and he has to distribute them to his disciples.
This kid asked for four hundred pills, what does he think Tongmai Dan is?
Li Yu could tell from the Master's expression that the "high reward" he mentioned was not the same as what he understood as a "high reward", so he lowered the standard and asked tentatively, "Three hundred?"
Wang Daoxuan coughed lightly and said, "I only have thirty Tongmai Pills here, and I will give them all to you as a reward."
Thirty pills is not a big reward at all. There must be something else. Li Yu continued, "Thank you, Master. I also want some third-level talismans and a larger space magic weapon. It would be even better if you could give me more high-level spiritual herbs and medicines..."
