The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

After following Zhu Que into the earthen house, Matthew saw the talismans all over the wall.

He wanted to ask, but he knew that now was not the time to ask. Zhu Que must have had his own purpose in bringing him here.

"Old Ghost Zhu, the last time you came to my place was probably more than ten years ago." Just as Matthew was looking around, a slightly sharp voice attracted his attention.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw a short, somewhat hunchbacked old man slowly walking out of the back hall.

"He Laogui's memory is still so good, I can remember all this." Zhu Que grinned and sat down on the chair, and even crossed his legs.

When the girl saw this, she snorted again, ran to the old man's side and whispered something.

"You don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. You, Old Ghost Zhu, must have something to do with me when you come here. Tell me, don't beat around the bush." ​​The old man sat opposite Zhu Que and said with his legs crossed as well.

"This is my apprentice, named Matthew. I'm here to meet you, Master He." Zhu Que pointed at Matthew next to him and said.

After hearing this, Matthew immediately took a step forward, bowed and said, "Meet Master He."

"I've long heard that you old ghost has taken on an apprentice. It looks really good. This is my apprentice, named Cui'er. Please pay homage to your Master Zhu." The old man surnamed He nodded slightly and said to the girl next to him. .

Although the girl named Cui'er was a little reluctant, she still gave Zhu Que a solemn bow.

"I plan to let my disciple participate in the sect competition next year. He has not been involved in cultivating immortals for a long time. He has been training with me these days. However, this is not enough. I plan to let him study with you for a while. You are a well-known talisman-making master in our Qingyu sect, so it is no big deal to teach this kid." Zhu Que nodded to Cui'er and looked at the old man surnamed He.

"I asked why you, an old boy, suddenly came to me today. It turned out to be for this reason. I don't have time for you to teach your disciples. You should leave quickly and don't delay my rest." After listening to Zhu Que's words, He surnamed The old man shook his head and refused.

Seeing her master reject Zhu Que's request so happily, Cui'er also showed a proud look on her face.

"Don't refuse so quickly. I'm not asking you to teach me for nothing. This time I brought three middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills." Being rejected by the old man surnamed He was within Zhu Que's expectation, so he calmly followed it. He took out an emerald green jade bottle from the storage bag and smiled.

"Mid-grade Yuan Yang Dan! You old boy has really refined it." Upon hearing the middle-grade Yuan Yang Dan, the old man surnamed He stood up from his seat in excitement, his eyes fixed on Zhu Que's hand. The jade bottle said.

"Do you think I will deceive you about this matter?" The old man surnamed He's performance was within Zhu Que's expectation, shaking his legs and laughing.

"If you had come three years earlier, I would have agreed to you without hesitation. Unfortunately, even the middle-grade Yangyuan Pill is not that effective for me now." After Zhu Que finished speaking, the old man surnamed He showed a smile on his face. After a moment of decline, he sat back on the chair and sighed.

Zhu Que frowned slightly when he heard this, stood up and walked in front of the old man surnamed He, and put his hand on his pulse.

The old man surnamed He did not resist and allowed Zhu Que to check his physical condition.

"The injury has been suppressed for too long, and it can no longer be suppressed. Even the middle-grade Yangyuan Pill cannot have much effect." After returning to his seat, Zhu Que sighed heavily.

Matthew standing aside could see that although the old man surnamed He and Zhu Que bickered when they met, they really cared about each other.

"If you can refine a high-grade Yuan Yang Dan, maybe I can still resist for a while." The old man surnamed He waved his hand and said with a grin.

"How can I do that? This bottle of middle-grade Yuan Yang Dan was only refined a few days ago." Zhu Que shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

"Your apprentice is only at the eighth level of qi refining, and you want to let him participate in the sect competition. Do you want the Jade Pure Pill?" The old man surnamed He asked after glancing at Matthew.

"I failed to hit the bottleneck a few days ago. This failure caused my vitality to be severely damaged. What's more terrible is that my life span was also damaged. Only the Jade Pure Pill can keep me alive for a few more years." In front of his friends, Zhu Que finally told the truth.

After hearing this, Matthew's face changed slightly, and his eyes towards Zhu Que became a little complicated.

"Let's do this. While we still have some time, I can agree to your previous conditions. And my condition is to let this girl learn alchemy with you, how about it!" After a moment of silence, the old man surnamed He suddenly looked up. Zhu Que said.

"Alchemy requires talent. I can't guarantee that you can teach it." Zhu Que did not agree.

"This girl is very smart and can master it as soon as she learns it. She has already learned 30% of my ability to make talismans." Speaking of his apprentice, the face of the old man surnamed He was full of pride and relief.

"My apprentice is not bad either. He is definitely a genius in alchemy. If he hadn't been a low-key person, his reputation would have spread throughout the sect." Seeing the old man surnamed He exaggerating about his apprentice, Zhu Que was not willing to be outdone. Pulled over and said.

"You old ghost, you always competed with me in everything when you were young. Now even your apprentices have to compete with me. You really don't want to admit defeat." Seeing Zhu Que like this, the old man surnamed He shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"My apprentice has only been involved in alchemy for a few years, and he has already been able to control the success rate of the Qi Gathering Pill at 50%. Do you think he is a genius in alchemy?" Seeing that the old man surnamed He looked down on Matthew, Zhu Que was really anxious. , even the adjustment door has been raised a lot.

"Fifty percent! Don't joke, old man. If the senior brothers in the sect knew about this, your disciple would definitely be snatched away." Hearing that Matthew's success rate for the Qi-Gathering Pill reached 50%, the old man surnamed He said in surprise.

"So, under my control, this kid has no reputation in the sect. Otherwise, he would have been snatched away by those old guys. This is my precious disciple." Zhu Que said with a proud face.

"Then let's decide it. We will exchange disciples. I promise that your disciple will never hide anything during the time he is here with me! As for how much he can learn, it depends on the boy's own ability." Seeing that he had no words to refute, the old man surnamed He chuckled.

"Okay, I also promise to pass on all my life's learning to your disciple. How much she can learn depends on her own ability." Zhu Que also nodded and agreed.

"That... this elixir..." After the two parties completed the agreement, the old man surnamed He looked at the jade bottle in Zhu Que's hand and laughed.

"This was originally prepared for you. Even if you don't agree, I won't take it away." Zhu Que laughed and threw the jade bottle over.
