The cultivation of immortality by mortals begins with the abandoned children of the river

The news that a top-grade elixir appeared in the alchemist assessment and Zhan Nianchuan became Liu Weimao's disciple spread like a tsunami throughout the Xuantian Sect, causing an uproar and countless people were talking about it.

"Top-grade elixir, this is a legendary holy medicine, and it actually appeared."

"If I can get it, I will have a chance to build my foundation, and I won't be stuck in the Qi Condensation Realm for decades."

"Hehe, Liu Weimao must have taken that kid as his disciple because of his top-grade elixir. I heard that Liu Weimao's son has very poor qualifications. He has taken so many top-grade elixirs but is still stuck in the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm and cannot make any progress."

"This kid seems to have taken a big advantage, but in fact he has lost a lot."

"That can't be said. After all, the title of Liu Weimao's disciple is still very intimidating. At least in this Xuantian Sect, almost no one dares to provoke him."

The matter continued to ferment, not only the elders of each peak, but even the leader of the Xuantian Sect, Liu Rulong, was alarmed, and immediately summoned Liu Weimao to ask him why he only accepted him as a nominal disciple.

In his opinion, although the best elixir is hard to come by, this disciple will probably not be able to refine such a pill in his lifetime, but his talent for alchemy must be amazing, and it is easy to refine a medium-grade or high-grade pill.

However, when Liu Weimao said calmly that Zhan Nianchuan only had five spiritual roots and his cultivation was only at the first level of Qi Condensation, he immediately felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Weimao's approach.

Five spiritual roots!

Such a rubbish qualification, even if his alchemy skills are strong, is of little use.

Because he can't reach the foundation building stage at all!

If he can't reach the foundation building stage, his life span will only be a short hundred years. Moreover, the mana in his body may not even support him to refine the elixir of the Qi Condensation stage, and there is no shortage of experts in refining Qi Condensation elixir in the sect.

After sending Liu Weimao away with a smile, Liu Rulong thought about it and summoned Qian Dajiang, who was in charge of the alchemist assessment, and asked about the situation at that time in detail.

When Liu Rulong learned that Zhan Nianchuan actually had to rely on the spirit gathering array to refine the pill, and was not even familiar with the recipe of the Qi Gathering Pill, he could not help but shake his head, knowing that this kid probably had not refined the pill many times, and this time he was able to refine it probably because he encountered the legendary epiphany, which was like a divine help.

This has nothing to do with whether the alchemy talent is good or not, it is purely luck that is extremely good, no need to worry about it.

......

At this time, Zhan Nianchuan, the central figure of the topic, was frowning and looking at the picture album in the affairs hall, and he was received by a white-bearded old man.

"My junior brother, you are a first-class alchemist and a disciple of Elder Liu Weimao, so even though you are not an outer disciple, you can enjoy the treatment of an outer disciple. These caves are the best among the outer disciples. Please choose one."

Zhan Nianchuan looked at it for a long time and felt that it was not easy to choose, so he asked the old man, "Excuse me, brother, is there anything particular about choosing a cave?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Generally speaking, when a cultivator chooses a cave, he considers nothing more than the size of the cave, the location, the strength of the nearby spiritual energy, etc. The most important thing is definitely the strength of the spiritual energy. When the strength of the spiritual energy is similar, the place close to the sect mission should be given priority."

Hearing this, Zhan Nianchuan's eyes In a flash, "What tasks do outer disciples have? What tasks do alchemists like me have?"

The white-bearded old man smiled, took out a book and handed it to Zhan Nianchuan, asking him to flip through it. He introduced: "Outer disciples mainly practice, and there are not many tasks. Generally, they are once every three years. There are also long-term tasks, which are all in this book. You are an alchemist, so you can take the alchemy tasks above."

Soon, Zhan Nianchuan finished flipping through the entire book. He pointed to a page in the book, "I will take this task."

Looking at the page he pointed to, the white-bearded old man was very surprised, "You want to take the task of hunting monsters?"

"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Zhan Nianchuan asked humbly.

"Nothing wrong, but the monsters around here are not weak. Generally, they are equivalent to the strength of the fifth or sixth level of our human race. Junior brother, your cultivation..." The white-bearded old man smiled and didn't continue.

To his surprise, Zhan Nianchuan didn't hesitate to retreat at all, and insisted on taking it, so he didn't stop him anymore.

Next, Zhan Nianchuan surprised the white-bearded old man again. He actually wanted to choose a very secluded cave, which made him very confused.

"Junior brother, although this cave is the closest to the area where monsters appear and the area is also very large, it is too remote and the spiritual energy is slightly weak. Senior brother suggests that you choose this one." The white-bearded old man pointed to the book.

"Thank you, senior brother, junior brother still wants to be closer to the mission place, and it is comfortable to live in a large cave." Zhan Nianchuan declined politely.

Seeing Zhan Nianchuan's insistence, the old man did not say much. After completing all the procedures for him, he handed him a small storage bag and explained some precautions.

Zhan Nianchuan used the storage bag for the first time and was very curious. He probed his spiritual sense into it and found that it was a small space of five feet square, which could still hold a lot of things. Leave your spiritual sense imprint on it, and then inject spiritual power to aim at the items you want to collect, and you can collect them smoothly, which is very convenient.

After thanking the old man and leaving the Affairs Hall, Zhan Nianchuan bought a large amount of materials needed to refine the Soul-Enriching Pill, the Qi-Gathering Pill, and the Awakening Pill in the Pill Hall, and also bought some body-refining materials, spending all the three thousand spirit stones.

Considering that he might not be back for a long time, Zhan Nianchuan also bought a lot of daily necessities, filling the small storage bag just given to him, and some of them had to be carried on his back in the errand bag.

The spirit stones that were spent were the real spirit stones, Zhan Nianchuan always believed this, why keep them.

After leaving the Dan Palace and figuring out the direction, Zhan Nianchuan strode towards his cave.

......

After receiving the message from his elder brother Chen Xijin, Chen Dong couldn't believe his eyes.

"This... this guy became a first-class alchemist? He also refined a top-grade elixir and became Liu Weimao's disciple?"

After reading the message on the communication talisman several times, Chen Dong had to accept the reality that he could no longer move this guy.

Although he was a nominal disciple, he was also a real disciple of Liu Weimao. Who dared to move him? Not even his elder brother Chen Xijin.

However, he couldn't swallow his anger when he was asked to give up revenge on Zhan Nianchuan. This bastard not only ruined his good deeds, causing Junior Sister Liu Yandan to be unable to contact him until now, but also destroyed a yellow-grade upper-grade talisman of his, causing him to almost regress in cultivation.

Thinking of all the hateful things, Chen Dong's eyes flashed fiercely and clenched his fists tightly.

"Hmph, don't give me a chance, you dog servant!"

......

After a full half-day trek, Zhan Nianchuan finally arrived at his cave.

In front of him was an ancient bungalow, gray and old, but the protective formation was still intact. This kind of restriction set by the sect's formation master was enough to resist all attacks in the Condensation Period if there were enough spirit stones.

Using his own talisman to open the restriction, what came into view was a row of houses. The courtyard was very spacious, with a small water gathering formation, which was used to condense the water vapor between heaven and earth, which could solve the water problem. There was a set of stone chairs in the courtyard, and there was a small spiritual field on each side, but it was already deserted.

There were eight houses with different functions, including alchemy rooms, spirit beast rooms, and quiet rooms for cultivation, which were enough to meet all needs.

The spiritual energy diffused between heaven and earth was slightly thin, but it was much better than the servants' place, and it was not too important for people like Zhan Nianchuan who mainly relied on elixirs. Hunting monsters is what Zhan Nianchuan wants most.

He is not saying that he wants to hunt monsters to avenge his father, because the monsters in Xuantian Mountains are not sea monsters, nor is he simply trying to complete the task, but he wants to use the blood of monsters to temper his body and eat the meat of monsters to strengthen his body, so that the Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique can go further.

Another benefit is that soaking the body in the blood of monsters can not only refine it into the body to temper the body, but also excrete a large amount of elixir poison in the body.

Although he seems to have a bright future now, he faces a lot of challenges.

The qualifications of all five spiritual roots are low-grade, which means that his cultivation speed must be extremely slow. Even with the blessing of a large number of elixirs, he can only reach the cultivation speed of three spiritual roots, unless he has a higher level of cultivation and more proficient alchemy skills in the future, and can refine elixirs of medium quality or above. Moreover, he has to spend time practicing the demon clan's skills, because this is his biggest backhand. Fortunately, his demon clan bloodline seems to be pretty good and his cultivation speed is very fast.

Now he has understood that the five spiritual roots are not useless, but have their own characteristics and advantages. Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is divided into five elements, he can mobilize all of them and directly transform them into his own mana, which is why he can refine pills with the help of the spirit gathering array at the first level of Qi Condensation.

However, those with a single spiritual root can only mobilize one type of spiritual energy, and the rest of the spiritual energy must be absorbed into the body and then transformed. The efficiency is far from that of those with five spiritual roots. When the vitality of heaven and earth is abundant, the difference between the two is not obvious, but once the vitality is scarce, the five spiritual roots can directly crush all other spiritual roots at the same level.

Zhan Nianchuan did not care about resting, and directly opened the forbidden magic array and entered the alchemy room, turning into an alchemy maniac.

This place is remote and uninhabited, and there is no rigid requirement to reach the third level of Qi Condensation within three years. Zhan Nianchuan decided to refine the enlightenment pill first to impact the second level of the enlightenment realm, improve his strength, and then hunt monsters.
