The Path to Immortality

However, whether his temperament is true or false, it doesn't matter to Fang Ping.

In the world of immortality, strength is respected.

If the Dali royal family did not have those few Jindan ancestors to control it, it would actually be just that. It would not have the supremacy that a normal feudal dynasty should have.

His consciousness vaguely swept over the princess, who had the early stage of foundation building, and spread to the two guards behind the screen who had practiced some kind of concealment method.

The two guards, one male and one female, both had mid-stage foundation building cultivation and were well hidden.

Ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building may not be able to discover the existence of these two people if they are careless.

Unfortunately, in front of Fang Ping's consciousness, the two of them stood out like candles in the dark night.

"I heard before that Master Liu was very impressive and talented. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."

The third princess opened her mouth with a smile and started with a compliment.

However, Fang Ping had heard such words many times and was not moved at all.

He looked calm and unrestrained, as if he were at home.

He sat down on the seat in front of the round table and said, "Shi Yuan, the third emperor of the Dali Dynasty? Where did you learn about my identity and residence in the cave?"

Although Fang Ping had some guesses in his mind, he still had to ask clearly about this matter.

Seeing the coldness in Fang Ping's words, Shi Yuan suddenly felt a little troubled. He knew that this alchemist with a mysterious origin was probably not someone he was easy to get along with.

She followed and sat across from the round table, pouring tea while saying calmly: "The Wuchen Dan Pavilion run by Master Liu is doing a lot of business. It is not a secret in Xianzhoufang City. As long as you pay attention patiently, it is not difficult to know. What's more, a few days ago, a friend of mine in the Alchemy Alliance issued a commission, which happened to be picked up by Master Liu, so today's invitation..."

The commission from a while ago?

The one who used five hundred good deeds to refine the Foundation Building Pill?

Fang Ping suddenly felt enlightened.

It seemed that the moment he accepted the commission, he was targeted by this woman.

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Jin who issued the commission is from the third emperor's daughter..."

Fang Ping's expression softened slightly and he said, "I don't know why the Third Princess invited me here. I've always been impatient, so please speak up if you have any questions."

Shi Yuan covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "I heard that fifteen years ago, Master Liu won the fifth place in the Alchemy Competition. At that time, I had something to do and was not in Xianzhoufang City, so I was not able to see Master Liu with my own eyes. I’m very sorry for my demeanor. After I unexpectedly learned about Master Liu from Taoist Fellow Jin a few days ago, I thought I’d take the liberty of inviting Master Liu, so please don’t be offended.”

Learned by accident?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

Seeing that she was being secretive and not telling the truth, Fang Ping seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "Liu was just lucky enough to get a ranking... Now that we have met, Liu has something to do later, so he took his leave." ”

After saying that, he bowed his hands and immediately made a gesture of getting up and leaving.

Seeing that Fang Ping didn't care about his identity and the Dali royal family behind him, Shi Yuan felt a little helpless.

I originally thought that since the other party came to the banquet, he would also be interested in cooperating with the Dali royal family. In this way, when you talk later, you might be able to take some initiative and gain more benefits.

Unexpectedly, this person behaved so coldly.

Do you really not care, or are you just pretending?

Judging from the fact that I have been cultivating behind closed doors for more than ten years, it’s really hard to say.

After a brief hesitation, Shi Yuan's heart sank slightly when he saw Fang Ping push out the door without looking back, knowing that he had no choice.

She quickly stood up and chased out: "Master Liu, stay here! I have invited you today. There is indeed something important. I hope to discuss it with Master Liu."

oh?

Seeing that she couldn't hold back her anger, Fang Ping showed a smile on his face and turned around slowly: "But I don't know how important it is?"

Shi Yuan sent a message: "This matter will bring many benefits to Alchemist Liu and me... I wonder if Master Liu can come back to the banquet to discuss it in detail?"

Fang Ping's departure was half true and half false, but since Shi Yuan had lowered his stance and given up the initiative, Fang Ping didn't mind listening to her terms.

He immediately returned to the private room and sat back in his seat.

This time, Shi Yuan did not dare to talk nonsense anymore and said directly: "That's it. I am here on behalf of the Dali Dynasty and the [Xianwu Pavilion]. I want to invite the alchemist to cooperate with the Xianwu Pavilion."

"How to cooperate?" Fang Ping asked directly.

Shi Yuan said: "I have two ways to cooperate. One is to invite Alchemist Liu to join our Fairy Pavilion and become a guest."

"Under such circumstances, Xianwu Pavilion will not only provide the alchemist with various cultivation resources, skills, Taoism, and foundation-building perfection monks' teachings, but will also provide a salary of 10,000 spirit stones every three years. In addition, Liu Dan You can enjoy 30% of the profits from the spiritual elixirs refined by the master for my Fairy Object Pavilion and the spiritual stones obtained from the sales!”

She paused, secretly observed Fang Ping's expression, and continued: "In addition, if Master Liu has something unclear about the golden elixir path, as long as he accumulates enough contributions, I can also ask the golden elixir ancestor to give lectures in person. , give you some advice and allow Alchemist Liu to read the experience of the golden elixir monks of the Dali Dynasty!"

"Of course, if fellow Taoist disciples need maids, concubines, or bodyguards, the Fairy Pavilion will definitely make arrangements, and Master Liu will never be disappointed."

This condition... is indeed not bad.

If Fang Ping was really a casual cultivator, he would probably have been tempted.

However, Fang Ping now lacks nothing. Except for the main material of the Golden Pill, no other conditions can make him tempted.

Fang Ping shook his head and said: "Although the Dan Alliance does not prohibit members from cooperating with other forces privately, the Dan Alliance can also give what the Third Princess can give. Besides, I also have the Wuchen Dan Pavilion, where I can refine the spirit." Dan can be sold in your own Dan Pavilion, why do you have to borrow it from others? "

Seeing Fang Ping's direct refusal, although Shi Yuan had expected it, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After a short pause, he continued: "Master Liu, don't be anxious, and listen patiently to the end."

"The second method of cooperation is that Master Liu will cooperate with me in the Xianwu Pavilion on a limited basis. For now, he is mainly responsible for refining a few specific types of elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pills and True Yuan Pills."

"Every time you refine a batch of elixirs, you will receive a certain amount of contribution. These contributions can be exchanged for various cultivation resources and techniques in the Fairy Pavilion."

"This move is no different from the cooperation between Alchemist Liu and Alchemy Alliance, but it will give Fellow Daoist Liu another way to go. It can be said to be a hundred benefits without any harm."

"I wonder what Master Liu Dan wants?"

This second method of cooperation is indeed more in line with Fang Ping's wishes.

However, the key lies in whether he can give Fang Ping what he wants.

After pretending to think for a moment, he said: "Can the contribution given by Xianwu Pavilion be exchanged for the main material of Jinjin Dan?"

Shi Yuan was slightly startled, not expecting Fang Ping to open his mouth to such a rare thing.

The main material of Jinjie Dan is a treasure that is hard to find even for the Dali royal family. If we don’t have enough at home, how can we easily give it to outsiders?

After all, even if the royal family of the Dali Dynasty had accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation, there were only three alchemy monks!

Her expression remained unchanged, but she said with a little regret: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Alchemy Master Liu. How precious is the main material of the Golden Pill? Even if it is available, the contribution required for the exchange is probably an astonishing amount, and it is definitely not It’s easy to accumulate.”
