Chapter 53

After Li Yu chose the other courtyard of Ziyun Peak, the deacon disciple didn't say much, gave him three jade tokens, and said: "This is the jade token for entering the formation where you live, as long as you carry it with you, you can enter the formation , if three pieces are not enough, you can come here to make them again, and you only need to pay ten spirit coins for one piece."

Li Yu fiddled with the jade card in his hand a few times. On the front of the jade card was a sign of a mountain, with the word "Ziyun" written in small characters on it, and a number below it, 69, representing the house number.

On the back of the jade tablet, there are some complicated patterns carved. Li Yu guessed that it was formation patterns, but he didn't understand formation techniques, so he couldn't see why.

The three jade tokens acted as keys, and usually only Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan lived in the other courtyard, so three should be enough.

After choosing another courtyard, the deacon disciple took him to another hall. Before he entered the hall, Li Yu could smell the strong fragrance of medicine. The pharmacy, and the entire hall, are filled with medicine racks, and there are all kinds of fresh spiritual herbs and medicines on the medicine racks, but the grades are not very high.

The deacon's disciple brought Li Yu into a stone room in the main hall, and said to an old man in the stone room, "Elder Wu, this is a newly promoted first-rank alchemist. I'll bring him to get the medicinal herbs."

Elder Wu looked up at Li Yu, and said in surprise, "Isn't this the leader of this competition, who has been promoted to a first-rank alchemist so quickly..."

In the world of alchemists in Kunlun, Li Yu was known to everyone.

After being surprised, the old man asked the deacon disciple: "Did you tell him the rules of the alchemist?"

The deacon disciple said: "I have already told Senior Brother Li."

Elder Wu looked at Li Yu again, and said, "Which one do you choose, alchemy or discipleship?"

On the way here just now, the deacon disciple had already told Li Yu what he needed to do after he was promoted to a first-rank alchemist.

A first-rank alchemist receives a high monthly subsidy from the sect, and these spiritual coins are not for nothing.

They have to undertake certain alchemy tasks. If they fail to complete the task many times, their status as first-rank alchemists will be downgraded, and the high subsidies will also be cancelled.

There are two main types of first-grade alchemists in the sect.

One is that you need to bring disciples, just like Elder Han, because there are other things to do, and you need to refine less pills every month.

The other is pure alchemy. Compared with Elder Han, although there are no trivial troubles, the monthly task of pills is more onerous.

For Li Yu, the heavier the task of alchemy, the more he will be paid, so he had already thought about it and said, "I choose alchemy."

Elder Wu nodded, and said again: "If only refining alchemy, a first-grade alchemist must refine at least one hundred first-level pills for the sect every month, the sect subsidizes one thousand spirit coins, and refines five pills at most. One hundred, the sect subsidizes five thousand spirit coins, of course, you can also choose two hundred, three hundred, four hundred... the specific amount is up to your own ability."

Li Yu made alchemy, the more the better.

He didn't think much about it, and said, "I choose five hundred."

Elder Wu glanced at him and said, "Think about it, you won't have much time to practice if you refine [-] pills every month, and if you can't complete the task when it's due, you can also get [-] spirit coins." not."

Refining elixir is extremely labor-intensive. For a general first-rank alchemist, if they refine two or three furnaces in a row, they will be exhausted. They need to rest for at least one day before they can continue refining.

Alchemists also need to practice, unless there is a shortage of spirit coins, otherwise, most people will choose the lowest level, which is one hundred coins per month.

He chose [-] pills. This month, he would have to refine alchemy for at least five or six hours a day, and he had no time to practice at all.

Li Yu didn't rely on self-cultivation in the first place, and said, "I've already thought it through."

Elder Wu stopped persuading him, and said to the deacon disciple: "In that case, you can take him to get the medicinal herbs."

Watching the two leave, he shook his head and sighed: "After all, he is young and energetic. When the old man was his age, he could make five furnaces at a time. Now he has only refined one furnace, and he is a little weak. ..."

Not long after, Li Yu came out of the hall.

He received the most high-end task, to refine [-] first-level elixirs for the sect every month. In theory, a maximum of [-] elixirs can be refined from one material, and [-] elixirs require at least [-] materials.

But for normal people to make alchemy, there must be losses. Three materials can produce ten pills, which is already very good. This is also the minimum requirement of the sect for alchemists.

Therefore, Li Yu received 150 materials here.

Among them, fifty copies are used for alchemy for the Zongmen, and the remaining one hundred are Li Yu's own. One hundred bottles of first-level pills, plus the subsidy from the Zongmen, he can get at least [-] spirits a month currency.

If there is no purchase limit for the Tongmai Pill, he can buy fifty of them a month, and in just over half a year, he will be able to cultivate all five spiritual veins to perfection.

It's a pity that now he can only buy three pills a month through normal channels. It would be great if there were more good things like the apprentice competition. There is no limit to the number of Tongmai Pills rewarded. Buy three or three per month...

After leaving Lingyun Peak, Li Yu came to Danding Peak to pack his things.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, just a few clothes, and other important items, he put them in the space ring, Li Yu came back, mainly to say goodbye to everyone.

When Elder Han saw Li Yu, he was taken aback and exclaimed, "You passed the examination so quickly?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Thank you Elder Han for those books."

Han Tiancheng shook his head and said, "Your own talent is better. If you can become an alchemist by reading books, all the immortals are alchemists..."

Seeing that Li Yu was wearing the same clothes as his own, which symbolized the clothes of a first-level alchemist, Han Tiancheng couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

It took him more than 20 years from an alchemy apprentice to a first-grade alchemist, and it was not until the foundation was established that he could successfully refine the first-grade elixir. Now, after another 100 years, he is still a first-grade alchemist and has passed the second-grade test several times. Trying to become an alchemist, all ended in failure.

It took Li Yu only half a year to learn alchemy from the beginning to becoming a first-grade alchemist, which made him wonder what it was like for a while.

Han Tiancheng said: "You should be moving away, where is the other hospital?"

Li Yu said: "Ziyun Peak."

Han Tiancheng was a little surprised, and said, "Why did you choose that place? The people who live there are all old guys..."

In the world of cultivating immortals, old guys are different from old guys. Elder Han, who looks 60 years old, is actually over 100 years old, while Elder Sun, who looks 80 years old, is already close to 250 years old. In the eyes of the former, the latter is naturally an old guy who is different from them.

Li Yu smiled and said, "I like a quieter environment..."

The two chatted for a few more words, Li Yu bid farewell to Elder Han, and also bid farewell to Senior Brother Zhao and other familiar senior brothers and sisters. Senior Brother Zhao and others looked at him with envy.

Alchemy apprentices and first-rank alchemists seem to be only one assessment away, but they are actually very different.

A first-rank alchemist is paid more generously than ordinary elders in the foundation-building period. He doesn't have to worry about cultivation, and he doesn't have to do some dangerous tasks. In addition to medicine, there is still a lot left, which is the most enviable job in Kunlun...

At the gate of Li Yu's small courtyard, Wu Tong also looked at him with some emotion, and said, "Let's go now..."

After meeting with the neighbors, Li Yu smiled and said, "If you want to refine any elixir in the future, you can come to Ziyun Peak to find me, and I will charge you a few less spirit coins."

Wu Tong took out a book from his arms and said, "This book is for you. This is a new edition that I just bought with a lot of money. It contains a lot of content. This time you and Junior Sister Jiang are both on the list. Before I have time to share with you, you are leaving..."

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, Jiang Li has the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, so it's fine if he can be on the Tianjiao list, which list he is on, Li Yu looked at Wu Tong, and asked unsurely: "Me?"

Wu Tong patted him on the shoulder and said, "What kind of expression do you have? Do you think the Kunlun Sect Dan Dao Apprentice Competition is an inconspicuous competition? This is Kunlun, the leader of the competition every year. The sect is also attracting a lot of attention, although you didn't make it to the Tianjiao list, but you did make it to the list of strange people, if you don't believe me, see for yourself..."

Li Yu took the book, turned to the last page, and sure enough saw his name on it.

Not only the name, but also the portrait.

Li Yu, male, a genius of the Kunlun School of alchemy, entered the realm of heaven and man above the new alchemy apprentice competition, defeated Danyangzi, Changchun Zhenren and other two direct disciples of fourth-rank alchemists, and won the grand prize. According to reliable sources, he has an extremely close relationship with Jiang Li, a disciple of the Kunlun School Xuanzhen Patriarch, the genius of Tianlingmai...

Li Yu looked at his portrait, and didn't know who painted it, but it was so vivid, at least nine points of his handsomeness were drawn.

He couldn't help being curious, and asked Wu Tongtong, "Who edited this book?"

Wu Tong said with a smile: "One person can't compile this kind of book. This is Xiaoyaomen, the largest casual cultivator organization in the world of cultivating immortals. The information collected from disciples of major sects is usually updated once a year. Not only in our righteous way It's a bestseller, in Demon Dao and Central Dynasty, there are also many people buying it, I didn't expect that they really included you in it, Li Yu, now you are going to be famous..."

Li Yu's eyes widened: "Evil Dao also sells this stuff?"

Wu Tongdao: "Of course, Xiaoyaomen is the largest casual cultivator organization. Its sphere of influence affects both righteousness and evil, the Central Dynasty, and even the Western Buddhist kingdoms. Only the Southern Border Demon Court does not have them..."

In Li Yu's heart, he had already scolded those people from Xiaoyaomen bloody.

If you don't cultivate a good immortal, what kind of book will you compile!

He could only comfort himself in his heart, that witch might not even read such boring stuff, or, she was so forgetful, she had already forgotten that she had arranged an undercover agent in Baiyun Temple...
