Chapter 55 The Past of Elder Sun

Purple Cloud Peak.

In No. 69 courtyard, two new masters moved in two days ago. They are two young disciples, a man and a woman. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They seem to be a couple of monks.

It is not surprising that Ziyun Peak has new neighbors. The strange thing is that this is the place where the elders of the Foundation Establishment retire. Young people move here.

This young man has become famous in Ziyun Peak within a few days of coming here.

This is mainly because he is an alchemist, and the elixir he sells is not only of excellent quality, but the price is also [-]% cheaper than that of the Zongmen. In the first two days, only a few people bought his elixirs. After the effects of the medicine had worn off, an elder at the Foundation Establishment Stage repurchased another five bottles.

This is enough to prove the quality of his elixir, and his reputation was quickly spread in Ziyun Peak.

The first-order elixir, especially the Baoyuan elixir, is very popular in Ziyun Peak. The foundation-building elders here, regardless of gender, will find one or a few dual monks before their lifespan is cut off. Or their Taoist companions, they all need Baoyuan Pill.

No. 69 other courtyard.

Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan sat in the pavilion in the front yard, counting the harvest of the past few days. Under his hard work day and night in alchemy, they had [-] spirit coins in their account in just five days, and the follow-up orders have also been queued to the next one. moon.

This is enough to show that Li Yu was absolutely right to set up his family here in the first place.

With so many spirit coins, Zhou Zixuan was dumbfounded, and murmured: "Do all alchemists make money like this..."

Of course, not all alchemists can make as much money as Li Yu. His advantage lies in his 100% alchemy rate, while most alchemists do not have the five spirit veins like him. Ten pills were refined from two materials, and he was already an excellent alchemist.

For one elixir, the sect gave them three ingredients. Naturally, there is a reason for the sect. A furnace of elixir with three ingredients is the average level of an alchemist. Even if there is a surplus, it is only two or three more. Teachers can stay on their own, this is their ability.

Seeing her moved face, Li Yu asked with a smile: "How about it, do you want to learn alchemy? If you want to learn, I will teach you."

Zhou Zixuan shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't have any talent in alchemy."

Among the five spirit veins, the one most related to alchemy is the fire spirit vein, and the wood spirit vein is only used as an auxiliary. If you only use the wood spirit vein to become an alchemist, your future achievements will not be too high, and there is a high probability that you will stop being a first-rank alchemist in a lifetime .

Li Yudao: "You can practice another fire spirit vein, it's nothing more than building a foundation two years later."

Zhou Zixuan shook her head and said: "There is nothing wrong with establishing the foundation, but with my talent, if I cultivate two spiritual veins, there is no hope for the golden core..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of Li Yu.

Li Yu has cultivated five spiritual veins. With the speed at which he earns spiritual coins, it will take less than ten years for all five spiritual veins to reach the foundation-building stage, but in the foundation-building stage, it will not be so easy to improve his cultivation.

The price of the elixir that improves the cultivation level of the foundation building stage is ten times that of Tongmai Pill, and it is far more scarce than Tongmai Pill. Even if you have spirit coins, you may not be able to buy it. Li Yu is not Jiang Li, and the sect cannot spend that much. Cultivate him with more resources, that is to say, after the foundation is established, the possibility of his alchemy is smaller than his own...

This made her feel down immediately.

Nascent Soul, she dare not expect extravagantly. What she wishes most is naturally to form alchemy with Li Yu. For her, being able to spend 500 years with the person she likes is already the happiest thing in the world.

If the person she likes can't form pills, then her extra lifespan is nothing more than hundreds of years of pain. Instead of doing this, it's like living and dying together...

Zhou Zixuan didn't speak for a long time, and Li Yu didn't mention it again.

In fact, he just said casually that for a cultivator, strength is secondary, and the most important thing is longevity. It is better to break through one more realm than to cultivate one more spiritual vein. He has no choice, which does not mean that others do not.

At this time, he saw a trace of determination in Zhou Zixuan's eyes. She looked at Li Yu and said, "Actually, it's not impossible. When I learn alchemy, I can help you share some of it, so you don't have to work so hard... "

Li Yu didn't expect that she would really think about it, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously, the alchemy is more important."

But Zhou Zixuan said firmly: "If you don't form a pill, you won't form a pill. When the lifespan is about to expire, we will also be like them, find two rocking chairs, and lie at the door to bask in the sun..."

Although she has stepped into the fairy road, her desire for longevity does not seem to be particularly strong, and she will always maintain a pure heart.

Li Yu tapped her on the head lightly, and said: "How can you do it if you don't form a pill? Don't worry, with me here, Yuanying dare not say it. It's still very easy for you to form a pill."

Li Yu was not worried about his own alchemy, even if he had nothing and only practiced on his own, there was still a glimmer of hope for alchemy, not to mention that he still had a mysterious alchemy furnace, so he was not even sure of this.

When he formed alchemy, he was a third-rank alchemist, capable of refining pills that would improve his cultivation in the foundation-building stage, so it would not be difficult for her to form alchemy too.

Li Yu felt physically and mentally exhausted after refining the elixir for several days. He took a rocking chair from the yard, went outside, lay comfortably on the rocking chair, and watched streams of light streak across the sky in the Kunlun Cave.

There are many other courtyards in Ziyun Peak, like Elder Sun, there are many people who find a rocking chair and lie down for a day.

On the left and right sides of him, in front of the two courtyards opposite, there were people lying on rocking chairs like him, either dozing off or in a daze, exactly the same as when Elder Sun was in Baiyun Temple.

Lying there, Li Yu couldn't help but recall the experiences of the two lifetimes in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the magic of life's encounters.

He can also understand people like Elder Sun. They have lived for more than 200 years and have enough memories to remember.

After lying down for a while, a voice suddenly came from the left side: "Hey, kid, why are you so young, like us dying old guys, what are you doing here at Ziyun Peak?"

Li Yu didn't turn her head, and said leisurely: "It's clean here, I like it very much..."

Idle is also idle, Li Yu chatted with the old man next to him without saying a word, and learned that he was a talisman maker. It soon became known that one of them was a formation master, the other was a mechanism master, and the other was a spirit beast master.

The four people's cultivation bases are all in the foundation building period, and their lifespan is nearing the end. There is no hope of forming alchemy in this life. In the last few years of their lives, they choose to retire here.

They dedicated their lives to the Zongmen, and when they were dying, the Zongmen treated them well. The monthly subsidy was much higher than that of Li Yu, but it didn't mean much to them.

Knowing that Li Yu came from Baiyun Temple, the mechanism engineer suddenly said: "That old fellow Sun Zhen seems to be in Baiyun Temple, do you know him?"

Li Yudao: "Senior also know Elder Sun?"

The mechanism master smiled and said: "I know, of course I know. Back then, we entered the sect in the same batch. At that time, an elder from the foundation stage fell in love with him and wanted him to be a dual cultivator, but Sun Zhen refused. Later, the one surnamed Wu was cheaper..."

Li Yu guessed right, the rebellious young man back then was indeed Elder Sun himself.

Speaking of the old man, the old mechanism teacher obviously talked more, and said: "Sun Zhen, this guy is full of arrogance, and he is a real ruthless character. He rejected the request of the elder Jianji for dual cultivation. After getting started, he didn't choose alchemy. Qi any one, following the path of Dharma cultivation, relying on a fierce fire attribute technique, went deep into various caves and dangerous places, and completed many difficult tasks, except for the one surnamed Wu, who was the first among us to practice The one who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment is also the one with the most hope of alchemy..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yu again and asked, "I heard that he found a genius with a heavenly spirit vein for the sect, and the sect rewarded him with a breakthrough pill. How is it? Did he succeed in forming the pill?" ?”

Li Yu sighed and said, "No..."

The mechanism teacher was silent for a long time before he sighed: "The immortal way is ruthless, the immortal way is ruthless..."

This was the first time Li Yu heard about Elder Sun's past. He really didn't expect that the usually kind and amiable Elder Sun would be such a ruthless character when he was young.

At this time, the other three old men also spoke one after another.

"I've heard of Sun Zhen's name before."

"This person acted swiftly and resolutely. Many demon disciples died at his hands."

"He hasn't formed a pill yet, what a pity, what a pity..."

……

With a common topic, the relationship between Li Yu and the old people seemed to be brought closer. During the chat, Li Yu did not forget to solicit business for himself, saying: "Several seniors, if you need any low-level or first-level medicine, You can ask me to refine it, and I will give you a [-]% discount..."

Li Yu's advertisement was not successful. These seniors seemed not interested in the matter of double cultivation, and they just lay on rocking chairs to pass the time every day.

So Li Yu made them a mahjong set.

For such an old man who has nothing to do, this is a good tool to pass the time.

After personally teaching them how to play mahjong, the status quo of several old people lying in a daze on the rocking chairs around these other courtyards was changed. A table was set up at the entrance of No. And the sound of "popping" lasted for a long time.

"bump."

The old mechanical engineer touched a card, and played another card from his own: "[-]."

"eat."

The old spirit beast master ate this card, and after thinking about it, he played a three-barrel.

"Hu."

Li Yu pushed down the mountain of cards in front of him, and said with a smile: "Seniors, I have accepted..."

A few people were not allowed to release their consciousness when playing mahjong. Even if their cultivation base was much higher than Li Yu's, there was no advantage at all. Li Yu won the other three people's one hundred spirit coins. He took back the spirit coins that Li Yu had won.

The few people quickly learned how to play mahjong, and Li Yu's advantage gradually disappeared. After a few games, Li Yu won and lost, and even lost dozens of games in the end.

He didn't want to win these old people's spirit coins. He was either cultivating immortals or making alchemy all day long. He was so stupid. He needed to develop some entertainment activities, adjust them, and bring some joy to these boring old people...

Maybe when they are happy, they will let him inherit the dying inheritance just like Elder Sun did...
