Immortal Palace Longevity

Looking at Liu Yu who was saluting, Li Changkong frowned slightly, feeling slightly unhappy.

But it was only because the ancestor asked him to accept the disciple and the sect's custom, not because he wanted to pass on what he had learned, so he didn't get angry.

"Well, stand up."

Li Changfeng raised his hand lightly and said lightly.

Liu Yu, who was bowing his head, felt a gentle force on his body at this time, which made him stand up involuntarily.

Liu Yu restrained his body's instinctive resistance and stood up obediently.

"Master, I will prepare a small gift as a gift for you to become my disciple."

"I am incompetent, but I have a little thought. 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 returned to his original place.

People like them who were accepted as disciples halfway usually prepare some gifts for becoming my disciples. The value of the gift does not have to be high, the key is to show the attitude.

If you don't prepare a gift for your apprenticeship, you will inevitably be criticized, and your master may be impressed by your ignorance of the world, and the relationship between master and apprentice may be alienated from the beginning.

Considering that he may use the name of the elder in the sect in the future, Liu Yu prepared something a little more expensive.

The master-apprentice relationship should be kept neither too close nor too far, and the etiquette should be in place.

This is his policy.

"I'm not a pedantic person."

Li Changfeng nodded slightly, then raised his right hand to open a crack in the exquisite jade box, and saw a ginseng lying quietly in the box.

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

With his experience, he could easily recognize that this was an ordinary spiritual ginseng with a year of 500 years, which could be used as an auxiliary medicine for some Jindan period elixirs, and it was of great use to Jindan early stage cultivators.

Unfortunately, Li Changfeng was already in the middle stage of Jindan, and this 500-year-old ginseng was relatively worthless to him.

However, for a foundation-building cultivator, a five-hundred-year-old spiritual medicine is still very difficult to find, which is enough to show that the cultivator who prepared this gift spent a lot of thought.

"Not bad, thoughtful."

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

Although he has ordinary qualifications, he has a good talent for alchemy, and most importantly, he is well versed in worldly affairs. No wonder he is valued and recommended by the Yan family.

"As long as the master is satisfied."

Liu Yu said respectfully and cautiously.

This ordinary spiritual ginseng was naturally ripened by the Immortal Palace, but after special treatment, it looks like it has been unearthed for 10 to 20 years.

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

But when it comes to "special treatment" of spiritual herbs, he believes that he is not inferior to anyone. After all, with the Immortal Palace in hand, he can practice with spiritual herbs luxuriously.

Whether it is the appearance of the spiritual herb, or the vitality, medicinal power and spiritual power inside, there will be no flaws.

Liu Yu had carefully considered the choice of this spiritual ginseng with sufficient age but no special effects.

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

But it is useful for Jindan cultivators, which exceeds the gifts of other cultivators for apprenticeship, but it is not to an extremely exaggerated level.

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

"Since you have accepted the gift of apprenticeship, you will be my registered disciple from now on, so I can't help but express it."

"Let's do this, this alchemy book will be given to you as a gift for meeting."

Li Changfeng waved his hand to put the jade box into the storage ring, then pondered for a while and took out a book about two inches thick.

After forming the elixir, Li Changfeng had thought about learning the art of alchemy to earn spirit stones, but after some attempts, he found that he had no talent for alchemy.

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

Now thinking of the identity of this registered disciple alchemist, it is just right as a gift between master and disciple.

"Thank you, Master."

Liu Yu took the elixir book and put it in the storage bag without looking at it on the spot.

But the gift for the golden elixir cultivator can't be too bad, right?

Then Li Changfeng talked about the rules of the sect, such as not to bully the master and destroy the ancestors, not to kill each other among the same sect, and to help each other.

The most important one is that all the knowledge of cultivation taught by the master cannot be taught to other cultivators without the master's permission. If there is a violation, the cultivation will be abolished and expelled from the sect!

Not only the secret techniques, but all the knowledge of cultivation is valuable!

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

At this point, the process of becoming a disciple was considered complete, and Liu Yu officially became a registered disciple of Li Changfeng.

Later, through Li Changfeng's narration, Liu Yu learned that there were six disciples including himself, three direct disciples and three registered disciples.

They were: the eldest sister Li Buyu, the second brother Li Bufan, the third brother Jing Yongqing, the fourth sister Lu Xue, the fifth brother Yu Jiang, and finally Liu Yu himself.

Among them, the eldest sister Li Buyu is in the late stage of foundation building, not far from the peak of the late stage, and is already preparing for the formation of the elixir. The other four brothers and sisters have been in the sect for at least 30 years, and all of them are in the middle stage of foundation building or above.

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

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

"Now your brothers and sisters have important matters, and they can't gather together for a while."

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

After briefly explaining the situation of the disciples, Li Changfeng said so again, arranging for the disciples to get to know each other.

In order to avoid the situation where they are disciples of the same master and don't know each other when they meet in the future.

"Disciple obeys the order, and I will follow the master's instructions!"

Liu Yu nodded and replied.

It is of course a good thing to be able to get to know other brothers and sisters and increase your own connections in the sect.

As Li Changfeng's disciples, brothers are naturally closer than other disciples of Yuanyang Sect, and it is normal for them to help each other.

Compared with the master who can directly order the disciples, the relationship between the brothers is equal. They can help or refuse when there is something. Liu Yu is naturally happy to visit more.

This is also one of the benefits of becoming a disciple.

"If you have any questions in your practice, you can ask them now. I am free and will answer them for you."

Finally, Li Changfeng stroked his beard and said lightly. He only waited for the answer to some doubts and then sent these disciples away.

They are just nominal disciples. The master does not need to prepare practice methods for them like he treats his own disciples, or give them powerful secret techniques and spells.

Instructing them is considered to have fulfilled his "obligation".

After all, he accepted disciples because of the sect's conventions and chose Liu Yu because of the Yan family's face. He did not want to inherit his mantle at all, so he had no intention of cultivating them well.

Moreover, with Li Changfeng's vision, he could tell at a glance that Liu Yu had been building his foundation for 20 to 30 years and had already mastered the basic skills. It was not easy to change it now.

"When the disciple was practicing..."

Having the opportunity to be personally instructed by a Jindan cultivator, Liu Yu would naturally not be polite and immediately asked about the difficulties he encountered in his practice one by one.

Of course, the questions about the fundamental skills Qingyang Gong and the Yuanshen Gong, the wonderful method of the soul, were only discussed in a roundabout way, and these two extraordinary skills would not be directly exposed.

With Li Changfeng's Jindan middle stage, it was almost unnecessary to think about the problems in the early stage of foundation building, as simple as eating and drinking.

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

"Okay, this is the end of the instruction."

"Remember, if it is not an important matter, do not disturb my practice, and do not come to Tongtian Peak without a summons!"

"This sound transmission note can be used to contact me. If you have any questions, use the sound transmission note to contact me."

After about two quarters of an hour, seeing that Liu Yu seemed to have many questions, Li Changfeng frowned and stopped talking, took out a sound transmission note and put it on the table.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely remember your teachings."

Liu Yu put the sound transmission note into the storage bag and said respectfully.

If there is no important matter, do not disturb me. If there is something, there is a sound transmission note. However, he only gave me a sound transmission note. The intention is self-evident, that is, to let him not take the initiative to find him.

"You really think alike."

Sure enough, this is the current situation of the registered disciples. Liu Yu smiled in his heart, but this is exactly what he wants.

"Well, leave."

Li Changfeng said lightly, raised his arm and waved it slightly.

In order to complete the task of accepting disciples entrusted by the ancestor of the sect, he spent so much time on a registered disciple, and he was a little impatient.

"Master, may you be safe and sound, and may your immortal fortune flourish. I will take my leave."

Liu Yu bowed again, then slowly walked out of the lotus lake and headed down the mountain.

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

In addition to the caves for living and practicing, acres of spiritual fields have been opened up, in which some low-level spiritual medicines have been planted.

Tongtian Peak is a spiritual vein close to the fourth-grade upper grade. With the rich spiritual energy here, the spiritual soil is naturally extraordinary. It is very easy to plant some low-level spiritual medicines. Just send two Qi Refining disciples to take care of it a little, and you will get a lot of spiritual stones every year.

There are spiritual fields, lakes, buildings, etc. near the caves, and woods, grasslands, and various rare and exotic animals in the distance. Many Jindan elders will also build some entertainment venues outside the caves as a pastime after practicing.

Liu Yu left the lotus lake and walked all the way down the mountain, and saw such a scene.

Although he was very interested in the only fourth-level sacred mountain in the sect and wanted to take a look around, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that all the people living here were Jindan cultivators.

The Immortal Mansion and the Magical Method of Concentrating the Spirit were extremely precious. He had many secrets on his shoulders. If they were leaked, he would definitely be killed. He should try not to contact high-level cultivators.

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

The elders and ancestors all lived here, so cultivators in the foundation-building stage of Tongtian Peak were not allowed to fly, and could only walk up and down the mountain.

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

At this time, the crowd had dispersed, and the high platform in the middle of the road sank again. Qian Zhijin and Cui Liang were nowhere to be found. There were still 20 to 30 foundation-building monks staying in the building to the east.

The monks who came from Cangyue Valley and Piaoxue Pavilion were still there, as if they were waiting for their own masters. However, they certainly could not run around in the mountain gate of Yuanyang Sect.

Liu Yu observed silently for a while, then took out the Mother-Child Soul Chasing Blade, turned into a black light and soared into the sky, flying towards the Cailian Mountain Cave Mansion.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. After all, there is a secret art like the Hidden Spirit Art that specifically hides the cultivation level, and naturally there is a secret art specifically for detection.

Although the third level of the Hidden Spirit Art is said to be able to deceive a cultivator of a higher realm, if the other party happens to practice a special secret art of detection, it is hard to say whether it can still be hidden.

Attributes can restrain each other, spells can restrain each other, and secret arts naturally restrain each other. Therefore, Liu Yu has always been cautious about the effect of the Hidden Spirit Art and did not blindly believe it.

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

Who else could it be but Jiang Qiushui!

Liu Yu dropped the light of escape and opened the formation. He held her waist and walked into the cave.

... (a thousand words that cannot be described)

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

"Brother, this is the income of Yudan Hall in Jinxing Market for half a year. Please check it."

After brewing the spiritual tea and pouring a cup for Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui took off a storage bag from her waist. There was still a faint blush on her face.

Because the gate of Yuanyang Sect in Jinxing Market is far away and inconvenient to travel, and there are some 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 spiritual sense. He instantly counted the number inside, and then frowned slightly.

I remember that when he opened the shop a year ago, he put 20 bottles of Essence Pills in. Now, after deducting various expenses of the shop, he only made 8,000 spirit stones.

This made him a little dissatisfied.

Essence Pills cost 450 per bottle, and 20 bottles cost 9,000 spirit stones, which is 1,000 spirit stones less. Doesn't this mean that Jinxing Market can't even break even, and it relies entirely on its own second-level pills?

"The market competition over there in Jinxing Market is more intense. We barely hired an alchemist not long ago, and his alchemy attainments are very average, so very few Qi Refining cultivators come to our shop to buy pills."

"Besides, my annual salary is also counted as an expense."

Seeing Liu Yu's unhappy expression, Jiang Qiu Shui bit her red lips and explained, with a little grievance in her words.

Alchemists with good alchemy attainments have always been more popular, and one year is too short.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's frown relaxed and he ordered:

"In this case, we will first select one of the two alchemists in the Renhe Market Store."

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

"At the same time, don't stop recruiting. We will also start purchasing various second-level spiritual herbs after we go back."

Selecting an alchemist should barely be able to maintain a balance between income and expenditure. As for whether Sun Ju is willing or not, that is not within the scope of consideration.

For his subordinates, Liu Yu has always been a man of his word and cannot be refuted.

Purchasing various second-level spiritual herbs can conceal the source of spiritual herbs for alchemy and reduce the risk of people with ulterior motives noticing abnormalities. At present, both stores are purchasing spiritual herbs, and the amount and quantity are completely confidential. Other cultivators can't see through the truth at all.

Even so, when the spirit stones reach 50,000, Liu Yu will reduce the outflow of second-level pills.

Including the seven bottles traded with the Yan family, at most twenty bottles flow out each year, and the number disclosed to the public is even less, anyway, it is not easy to check the number in the Jinxing Market.

Liu Yu earns as many spiritual stones as he sells the pills, because he does not have the extremely high spiritual herb costs like other alchemists.

"Okay, I'll listen to what you say, senior brother."

Jiang Qiushui said softly, with a gentle attitude.

After being promoted to the foundation-building stage, her value has risen sharply. Because she is more assured after planting the Yuanshen restriction, she currently has a bottle of Jingyuan Dan every year, which is definitely better than many foundation-building cultivators.

In addition to the salary of the sect, one medium-grade spiritual stone every year, and a bottle of Jingyuan Dan every three years, which is definitely more than most foundation-building cultivators have.

After that, the two talked about some problems with the store, and Jiang Qiushui also asked about the results of the disciple-taking ceremony. When he learned that Liu Yu was favored by Li Changkong Zhenren, he was surprised and happy, but also felt that it was natural.

"If there is nothing else, you can go back to the shop."

Half an hour later, Liu Yu picked up the teacup and said lightly, the meaning was very clear.

"You are going back to the shop so soon? I want to... stay a little longer."

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

It seems to convey a signal of some kind of "movement".

But she is destined to be disappointed. Liu Yu has no expression on his face and is not moved at all. He is in a state like a saint or a Buddha.

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

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

"Jindan Dan Recipe?"
