Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 2 Xu Lai's frugality and Qiu Yue's straightforwardness
Previously, Su Yan exchanged for the recipe of Yunqi Pill, but this time he wanted to exchange for the recipe of Peiyuan Pill.
Peiyuan Dan can replenish vital energy and is suitable for the first three levels of the acquired constitution.
The reason why Wu Yue was able to break through to the third level of the acquired realm so quickly on the deserted island was not only due to her own good talent, but also due to the great contribution of Peiyuan Pill.
Although the sect was promoted to three stars this time and the previously empty medicine inventory was refreshed, Su Yan still decided to exchange the medicine recipe directly.
The Peiyuan Pill itself is not expensive, and so is the recipe, which only requires 1,000 achievement points.
"Just... I'm just getting too excited."
Seeing that the sect's achievement value was reduced to 7,400 points, Su Yan smiled secretly.
When Su Yi brought back the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, he began to recite the recipe of Peiyuan Pill.
After teaching the recipe for Pei Yuan Dan, Su Yan asked, "Who is in charge of refining the elixir?"
"Master, it's Xu Lai. He is quite interested in collecting herbs, making medicine, and refining pills, and he is quite talented. Since we left Kunwu Mountain and came here, we occasionally used some pills, which were all refined by him."
Xu Lai?
After hearing what Su Yi said, Su Yan remembered that he had not yet investigated Xu Lai's qualifications.
Because Xu Lai gives people a very ordinary feeling, people even ignore him unconsciously.
'When you call the second generation of disciples to a meeting later, you must not forget to check his qualifications.'
After reminding himself secretly, Su Yan asked again: "Has he refined the Qi Condensation Pill?"
"Not yet." Su Yi recalled what he had learned from Xu Lai, and said, "He has been studying the recipe carefully. He said that he would start refining the pills after he had thoroughly studied them, so as to avoid too many failures and waste of medicinal materials."
Su Yan frowned slightly after hearing this (he could open his eyes and speak, and he could also have facial expressions), and said: "What's the harm in wasting some herbs? In the mountains of Yunchuan, as long as you have money, who is afraid of not being able to buy herbs?"
Su Yi smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because we've lived through 20 to 30 years of hardship, so we're used to being frugal."
After hearing what Su Yi said, Su Yan didn't want to pursue the matter any further, so he said, "Tell him later that although thriftiness is a good quality, he should also be generous when it comes to spending money.
Not to mention that I have passed down the glass-making technology, the money I earned from Qinglong Temple before is enough for the sect to spend for a while.
Let him start refining the elixir tomorrow, learn from his failures, and try to refine the Qi-enhancing Pill as soon as possible.
In addition, among the disciples recruited by Longshan, there is a girl named Lin Yuexi who is also quite talented in alchemy. Let her follow Xu Lai as an alchemy apprentice. "
"Yes." Su Yi responded, and then asked: "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Su Yan said: "After dinner, you and Wu Yue will bring the second generation disciples to Wuji Hall. I have a few things to tell them in person."
"yes."
Su Yi knew that Wu Yue was actually quite worried about her master, so when he saw that Su Yan had nothing else to tell him, he left the Wuji Hall.
After a while, Wu Yue arrived at the Wuji Palace.
"Master!" Wu Yue was obviously very happy to see Su Yan "coming out of retreat". She quickly walked to Su Yan, stopped to salute, and greeted him, "Master, are you okay?"
"I am a very good teacher. How is your cultivation now?"
He looked through the disciple information on the sect page and only saw that Wu Yue was still at the fifth level of the acquired realm. He could not see his specific training progress, so he asked this question.
Wu Yue said: "My disciple has opened up three of the eight extraordinary meridians. If I open up one more, I can enter the sixth level of the acquired realm."
All in all, Wu Yue has only been in the fifth level of the acquired realm for two months, but he is already approaching the sixth level. This is a very fast speed.
But Su Yan nodded slightly and said, "Your progress is not bad, but you still need to work hard. You must know that many of the second and third generation disciples in the sect have realms higher than yours."
Hearing this, Wu Yue really wanted to say: Master, I am only seventeen years old, and I have only been practicing martial arts with you for a few months. How can I compare with those who have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years or even decades?
But she also knew that Su Yan had high expectations of her, so she cupped her hands and said, "Disciple understands, and I will practice hard."
Su Yan nodded, and then asked: "Do you have any questions about your cultivation during this period?"
Although he had told to take good care of her junior sister Wu Yue.
But Wu Yue was his disciple after all, and he couldn't just let him send him back to the sect and leave him alone.
What's more, he is quite fond of this little disciple, so of course he has to take better care of him.
Because of her rapid progress, Wu Yue has indeed accumulated some questions during this period. Although she has consulted Su Yi for most of them, she still wants to ask her master again.
It's not that she doesn't trust Senior Sister Su Yi, she just simply likes to communicate with her master, just like the days when they were on the deserted island...
"Greetings to Master (Grandmaster)!"
After dinner, Su Yi, Wu Yue and other second-generation disciples brought Fu Xuan to Wuji Palace and saluted Su Yan.
In such a semi-formal audience occasion, Su Yan did not say "no need to be polite", but nodded slightly.
After the disciples stood in place, he directly exchanged a bottle of Tongmai Dan worth 500 achievement points from the store.
The second time they saw the medicine bottle appear out of thin air in front of their master, the second generation disciples of Wuji Dao were no longer so surprised . However, they could not help but feel expectant and even excited, thinking: Is the master going to give me the Yunqi Pill again?
Unlike others, Xu Lai's face flushed slightly, and he felt a little ashamed when he thought of what his uncle Su Yi said in the afternoon.
"Master must be blaming me for being too petty and not willing to waste the herbs. Now that I haven't refined the Qi Condensation Pill, I have to give it out again, right?"
Just when Xu Lai was secretly blaming himself, he heard Su Yan say loudly: "This is Tongmai Pill. As the name suggests, it can help open up the eight extraordinary meridians. Su Yi, give them one each ."
"yes."
Su Yi nodded and began to distribute Tongmai Dan.
From the head of the sect, Fu Xuan, to Tie Xiong, who had just joined the sect, each of the six people received one.
Then she put the bottle of medicine back in front of Su Yan.
Su Yan almost forgot to check Xu Lai's qualifications again, but fortunately he remembered it at the end, so he did a free qualifications check.
Get the following information:
Name: Xu Lai;
Age: 46
Root bone: 8;
Insight: 9;
Fortune:?
Talent: Wood affinity.
His physique and comprehension are both excellent, and his talent is not bad, but his martial arts skills are not as good as those of the two female disciples Min Xuelou and Fu Xuan. It can be seen that he does not practice martial arts very hard.
However, the talent of affinity with wood should be of some help in medicine making and alchemy.
After checking Xu Lai's qualifications, Su Yan also looked at the qualifications of Fu Xuan and Mu Qiuyue.
Name: Fu Xuan;
Age: 45 years old
Root bone: 9;
Insight: 9;
Fortune:? ;
Talent: Earth affinity.
Women who are friendly to the local environment are rare and steady, making them quite suitable to be the head of a sect.
Next is Mu Qiuyue’s qualifications.
Name: Mu Qiuyue;
Age: 36 years old
Root bone: 9;
Comprehension: 8;
Fortune:?
Talent: Fire affinity.
Compared with her twin sister Mu Chunhua, Mu Qiuyue's physique is one point higher, but her comprehension is one point lower.
She also has an affinity for fire, which is relatively rare among women , and it complements Mu Chunhua's affinity for wind.
No wonder during the brief encounters before, Su Yan always felt that Mu Qiuyue's mind was all on her face, and she was rather straightforward in her words and deeds, totally unlike Mu Chunhua who understood the ways of the world.
After checking the qualifications, Su Yan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said: "In the next period of time, your main task is to improve your martial arts realm and teach and manage the disciples below."
"yes."
Fu Xuan took the lead and everyone responded in unison.
Then Su Yan said, "Su Yi and Wu Yue stay, the rest of you can leave. By the way, Min Xuelou is outside the hall and will come in later."
"yes."
The disciples responded again and then left.
When only Su Yi and Wu Yue were left in the hall, Su Yan said, "You can each take two of the remaining four Tongmai Pills."
After hearing this, Su Yi said, "Master, I am already half a step into the innate realm. This Tongmai Pill should be useless, right?"
Su Yan nodded, "The Tongmai Pill is indeed only helpful for opening up the eight extraordinary meridians, and is not very helpful for finding the pulse acupoints in the Xiantian realm."
Su Yi looked at Wu Yue with a smile and said, "Then give all the Tongmai Pills to Junior Sister."
Wu Yue blushed slightly and waved her hands, "How can this be possible?"
Su Yan said to Su Yi, "Even if you can't use it yourself, you can use it to reward other disciples. As for Wu Yue, two Tongmai Pills are already enough to help her. Taking more won't have much effect."
After hearing what Su Yan said, Su Yi nodded, took the Tongmai Pill and shared it with Wu Yue.
