The Path to Immortality

However, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought that most of the other disciples who started with him were not as good as him.

Maybe it's not that he's not talented, but that Fang Ping is a little special. Although he starts slowly, he can persevere in practice and get faster as he goes on. This is the kind of destiny that makes him a late bloomer.

"Oh, I can't be envious!"

He sighed and reconsolidated the contents of Elder Wu's first lecture.

"Okay, that's the end of this lecture."

After completing the third scene, Elder Wu did not stop as usual. He packed up his desk, bed, incense burner and other belongings, controlled the escape light, and left from the top of Tiandu Peak in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, Fang Ping has long understood this elder Wu's temper and has become accustomed to it.

Amidst the sighs of some new disciples who tried to show off but failed to get what they wanted, he and Zhou Yang hurried down Tiandu Peak together.

Just when Fang Ping was about to return to his small courtyard, a female disciple chased him from behind.

"Senior Brother Fang, stay!"

The beautiful and plump female disciple called out to Fang Ping, but before she even got close, a faint scent of fragrance came from her.

"Are you... Hua Qiulan, who joined the outer sect when the mountain sect was opened last time?"

Fang Ping stopped, turned around and took a few glances, remembering the other party's identity.

The other party is quite famous among the outer sects. Many male disciples have thoughts about her and are surrounding her in every possible way to please her. However, they have not heard of anyone who can really succeed and become the guest of honor.

"It turns out that Senior Brother Fang recognizes me."

Hua Qiulan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurried a few steps to walk side by side with Fang Ping.

This slightly intimate gesture made Fang Ping murmur in his heart.

This woman suddenly stopped me. Could it be that something happened?

Anyway, Fang Ping didn't think that the other party suddenly took a fancy to him. After all, the two of them had no contact at all on weekdays.

For a moment, he had a suspicion, but he was not in a hurry to speak.

The two walked dozens of steps and arrived in front of Fang Pingyuan. Seeing that Fang Ping had no intention of striking up a conversation, Hua Qiulan bit her lips and suddenly said softly: "I heard that Senior Brother Fang is an alchemy apprentice. , are you very accomplished in alchemy?"

This matter is not considered a secret among the outer sect.

Apart from anything else, at least the dozen disciples at the trading meeting knew it.

Fang Ping didn't deny it, he just said: "I can't say that I have great attainments, I can only say that I have a little bit of experience... Who did Junior Sister Hua learn about this?"

Hua Qiulan's eyes flashed, and she said: "A few days ago, I heard a fellow disciple mention it accidentally, saying that I often see you go to the trading meeting, and you have sold elixirs many times in the pavilion, and you can even refine the Yuan Ning Dan. Control. Ah, senior brother Fang, don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing to do with that fellow disciple.”

Fang Ping's mouth twitched: "..."

Did he say there was a misunderstanding?

Can you please stop adding drama to yourself?

He didn't bother to refute anything and just said: "Junior Sister Hua, could it be that you want to ask me to make elixirs?"

Hua Qiulan nodded, took out a pill recipe from her storage bag, and handed it to Fang Ping.

"Senior Brother Fang has guessed it, so I'll just tell you the truth. I accidentally got a recipe for [Youlan Dan] here, and I want to ask senior brother to help me refine it. The recipe is part of the reward, but I don't know what I need to pay for it, my junior sister. What kind of price?"

As she spoke, she puffed up her chest intentionally or unintentionally, and took a few steps closer to Fang Ping.

The words seemed to be full of hints.

Use this to test the monk's Taoist heart, right?

Fang Ping snorted in his heart, of course... he was unmoved and calm in his arms!

He pretended not to hear what the other party meant, took the elixir straightforwardly, glanced at it a few times, and said confidently: "Youlan elixir is just a low-grade basic elixir. After swallowing it, the body will continue to emit a faint fragrance. There is nothing else." The purpose and refining difficulty are roughly the same as Bigu Pill... No problem, I’ll take over this job!”

As for the charging standard for entrusting alchemy to be entrusted, he based on the average market price in the market and set the conditions for the elixir recipe plus ten refining materials, promising that at least one furnace can be made!

Since Hua Qiulan came to Fang Ping to make alchemy, even if it was just an excuse, she had done some homework beforehand, so she naturally knew that the price quoted by Fang Ping was fair.

But because of this, she was a little depressed.

After several years of entry, I finally found a single male disciple who mastered the art of alchemy, had a promising career, and was a single male disciple. I thought that by relying on my charm, I could succeed by just hooking my fingers, but I didn't expect that the other party was unmoved.

Even if he is one-tenth as energetic as those annoying male disciples around him, it would be great!

"But maybe it's a good thing that we didn't get it easily!"

After seeing Fang Ping's conditions, Hua Qiulan was already a little impatient, so Hua Qiulan immediately agreed to Fang Ping's conditions.

But before Fang Ping could chase him away, she walked around in front of Fang Ping with small steps, leaning forward slightly, her eyes shy and timid, as innocent as a deer in the forest, and started to attack.

"Senior Brother Fang, do you know? One of the elders in my family is an alchemy apprentice. He has always taken good care of me. Since I was a child, I have had a good impression of the monks who master the alchemy..."

"oh."

Fang Ping's tone was indifferent.

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother Fang is quite similar to my elder. Whether it's appearance or temperament, he makes people feel very friendly just by looking at him."

"oh."

A hash mark appeared on Fang Ping's forehead. His patience was almost over.

"...I wonder if I can watch Senior Brother Fang making elixirs with my own eyes? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Hua Qiulan's beautiful eyes were like water, and she looked at Fang Ping with a hint of supplication. Her affectionate gaze was intoxicating.

Then she was pushed out by Fang Ping.

"Bang!"

The courtyard gate was closed, blocking her outside the courtyard.

"Female cultivators will only affect my speed in refining pills!"

Don't get close to me before you build your foundation!

"You!"

Hua Qiulan didn't expect that the cultivator in front of her was actually a piece of wood. Her pretty face darkened. She stomped her feet hard, twisted her waist, and left angrily.

Forget it. In addition to this monk Fang, there are other excellent brothers in the outer sect. She just has to compete with other female disciples.

She felt that she needed to adjust her goals.

………

Refining Youlan Pill is easy for Fang Ping now.

After all, the difficulty of refining is about the same as that of the Bigu Pill.

There is no need to use the Yuan Ding's retrospection. Just relying on his own attainments in the way of alchemy, he succeeded in refining it when he tried the third furnace.

But in order to conceal his level of alchemy, he still spent a whole week before asking someone to send a bottle of Youlan Pill to him.

As for the purpose of Hua Qiulan coming to him to refine pills?

It was so obvious, and he was not a fool, so of course he understood the other party's plan.

As long as he nodded that day, invited the other party into the house to taste tea, and gave some advice on the "alchemy", he might get what he wanted and become a servant of her skirt.

But with the great cause of building the foundation ahead, he would not easily miss it even if it could only increase the chance a little.

Not to mention, this woman is quite scheming and is definitely not a good match.

Even if he really wants to find a roommate, with Fang Ping's status and financial resources, there are better choices.

There is no need to cause trouble at all.

This is the main reason why he pretended to be ignorant of the situation and refused firmly that day.

And the effect of this move seemed to be immediate, and the other party did not come to him again.

But then again, Fang Ping was a little surprised and a little happy that a new female disciple took the initiative to come to him.

Only then did he truly realize how much status and temptation his status as an apprentice of alchemy had among ordinary outer disciples.

He was only at the fourth level of Qi training and was an outer disciple.

What if he were to advance to the fifth level of Qi training soon, enter the inner sect, or even become a foundation-building cultivator someday?

Thinking of this, Fang Ping's motivation to practice suddenly increased.
