Pagoda Immortality

The lotus platform was very fast, shuttling among the peaks. Despite this, it still flew for a full half a quarter of an hour before stopping on the waist of a giant peak shrouded in clouds and mist.

The place where it landed was a small square, which was a hundred feet in radius.

At the end of the square, there was a row of caves that looked like cave dwellings. The cave in the middle was the most conspicuous. The cave door was three feet wide. The flowerbed in front of the cave door was full of various flowers and plants, and there were also several banana trees.

However, one of the slightly larger banana trees was broken for some reason.

"Boy, let me tell you something." After landing, Xiao Jue pointed to the slightly smaller cave door on the far left of the row of caves in front and said solemnly, "You will live there in the future. You are not allowed to run around without my order."

"Next to you is where I refine the elixir. There is a bell in your cave. You must come out when I ring the bell. Let me be frank. If you are delayed for even a little bit, I will never forgive you."

"Yes, elder." Lu Li replied respectfully.

Although he felt that Xiao Jue's words were a bit blunt and ruthless, his purpose of coming here was to "steal alchemy", so he didn't take it to heart. He just hoped that the old man could teach him a few words while making the alchemy.

Seeing that Lu Li's attitude was okay, Xiao Jue softened his tone and said, "Just now, the furnace exploded while I was making the alchemy, and I was a little aggressive. You go and rest first. I will call you if there is anything."

It turned out that the furnace exploded while making the alchemy.

Lu Li understood immediately after hearing this, and thought to himself, why do I feel like I have eaten gunpowder? He bowed and said yes, walked a few steps and turned back to ask, "Elder, please ask, do I have to stay in the room?"

This cave looks a bit stuffy. Although he often stayed in the Time Hall to practice before, he would come out to the courtyard almost every day to breathe.

Xiao Jue thought for a while and said, "You can sit at the door, but you must not go far, because the old man may make the alchemy at any time."

"I understand."

Hearing that he could come out to breathe, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and walked towards the stone cave.

After entering the cave, Lu Li found that it was not as small as he had imagined, but the layout was relatively simple. Several stone benches surrounded a stone table, a stone bed and a small compartment were all there was in the cave.

Lu Li pushed open the small compartment and found that it was a toilet.

Lu Li did not complain. He sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the Time Hall, and then began another round of fireball practice.

Later in the evening, Lu Li suddenly felt a little hungry. He remembered that he had forgotten to ask where he could eat, so he went out of the cave to ask Xiao Jue.

He knocked on the door of the largest cave in the middle, but there was no response.

So he walked towards the cave in the east again. When he reached the last cave, Lu Li saw a word "food" hanging on the door, and the door was still open. Lu Li paused for a moment and walked in.

There was a fat man inside who was bloated and limped when he walked. The fat man had a floral apron tied around his waist and was busy doing something by the stove.

"Who are you?" Seeing Lu Li come in, the fat man held a water scoop in one hand and looked at Lu Li in confusion.

"I, I'm the new medicine boy. I'm a little hungry, so..."

"Oh, it turns out to be a medicine boy." The fat man pointed to the steaming small steamer, "Eat a few freshly steamed dumplings first, and cook later."

"Thank you." Lu Li thanked him and went to get the buns.

"You are very brave. You dare to take the job of a medicine boy." The fat man said while busying himself.

"What's wrong?" Lu Li was sitting in the corner eating buns. Hearing this, he asked a little confused. He thought to himself, Wen Hong did say that this elder is not easy to serve, but at most he will be beaten, so he can't be called brave.

As for the beating, Lu Li was mentally prepared before he came. He was thick-skinned and could withstand ordinary slaps.

Moreover, looking at Qingyang Sect, a job that can earn 3,000 yuan a month is the best. Not to mention menial work, even if it is a formal disciple going out on a mission, a mission of 3,000 yuan is definitely on the edge of a knife, and it is quite dangerous.

The fat man shook his head and sighed, "It seems that you don't know much about this place. I just tell you to be careful when you meet Deng Qingsheng."

After that, he ignored Lu Li and started to busy himself.

Lu Li wanted to ask who this Deng Qingsheng was, but seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, he didn't bother himself.

After eating three baskets of steamed buns, Lu Li was finally full. Regardless of whether the other party paid attention to him or not, he politely thanked him and left the cafeteria.

Seeing Lu Li so polite, the fat man sighed again.

When he came outside, Lu Li was about to go back to his room, but he saw Xiao Jue hurriedly coming towards him from a small road in the west, and hurriedly stood aside and saluted respectfully.

Xiao Jue frowned, "Where did you go?"

"Eating buns." Lu Li lowered his head and said.

Xiao Jue seemed to remember that Lu Li was just a chores and had not yet reached the level of fasting. He released his spiritual sense for no reason and then showed a hint of doubt, "Sixteen years old, first level perfection, when did you enter?"

"Report to the elder, it's been three years."

"The last class?" Xiao Jue was even more shocked, "You are not bad, you have reached the first level of perfection in three years."

First level perfection?

Lu Li thought it was not the second level?

After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that although he could release his true Qi now, he was not yet at the second level, because his second Qi channel had just manifested, and the first acupoint had not been opened, so he could not be considered to have entered the second level.

Hearing this, he only said, "Disciple just practiced harder."

"Hard work is good." Xiao Jue nodded in appreciation, "Diligence can make up for lack of talent. It is not impossible to practice five spiritual roots to the high level of Qi training. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow I will refine the elixir and need your help."

"Yes, elder."

Lu Li continued to move forward and shook his head. From the other party's tone, it was not so easy for even five spiritual roots to reach the high level of Qi training. As for his nine spiritual roots, he didn't know what to say.

"It seems that I have to find a way to collect materials for the acupuncture pill."

"It is a good opportunity to watch the elders make pills this time. It would be even better if I can get some advice from them."

Lu Li made up his mind that he must perform well and learn some alchemy skills from Xiao Jue, so as to avoid being in a hurry when he makes acupuncture pills in the future.

In the Time Hall.

Lu Li stretched out his hand and a red fireball slightly larger than his fist immediately appeared in his palm. Although it was a little light, the temperature was not low. The air around the fireball made a sizzling sound, but Lu Li himself did not feel the heat.

He swung the fireball forward and threw it forward. It flew out in an instant and hit the wall of the hall with a bang.

The fireball broke into pieces.

"Is this considered entry?"

Lu Li's face was slightly happy. After practicing in the Time Hall for so many days, he can finally summon fireballs at will. Moreover, as he continued to practice, each time he summoned a fireball, it became more solid and the temperature increased.

He sent out his spiritual sense to sense the outside world and found that it was already dawn. With the intention of leaving a good impression on Xiao Jue, Lu Li got up and walked out of the room.

When he walked outside, he found that the lights in the cafeteria were on. After a slight pause, Lu Li walked towards the cafeteria...
