The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 72

The days on the boat were boring, but Yun Yongzhu's mood improved greatly at this time. He meditated every day, read books, taught the beggar how to read, and guided him to introduce Qi into his body. He was very happy.

There was also an incident in the middle. The senior brother Gu Liangping who led Yun Yongzhu on board the ship came to ask Yun Yongzhu if he was an alchemist.

Yun Yongzhu didn't hide it, and as a result, he received a private job.

Although it was just two furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills, which was very simple for Yun Yongzhu, he did not look down upon it.

He paid Gu Liangping forty spirit stones according to the usual charging standards for alchemists and refined two furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills for him.

When most people ask an alchemist to open a furnace to make an elixir, they will prepare two sets of materials, one of which is the reward to the alchemist.

Of course, it is more likely to directly settle the materials with spirit stones.

This alchemy remuneration is a price that is relatively acceptable to both the alchemist and the person who entrusts the alchemist to make the alchemy. It is also the charging level agreed upon by the alchemists.

But there are also alchemists who are evil-minded or have a low elixir-making rate, and their remuneration is two, three, or even four or five times that of the raw materials.

Most alchemists have a relatively low elixir-making rate, and they are lucky if they can successfully make one with two ingredients.

This alchemy fee is applicable to most common elixirs. For those precious elixirs, the furnace opening fee must be communicated with the alchemist.

Gu Liangping only had two copies of the Qi Gathering Pill material. After obtaining Yun Yongzhu's consent, he used spiritual stones to pay the reward.

Speaking of which, Gu Liangping was lucky enough to meet Yun Yongzhu.

Because even if Yun Yongzhu was not refined in the earth fire chamber, the rate of elixir formation would not fluctuate much.

Ever since Yun Yongzhu successfully refined two furnaces of eight Qi Gathering Pills for Gu Liangping, one of which was a middle-grade pill, he often came to exchange ideas with Yun Yongzhu about his cultivation.

Yun Yongzhu knew that he wanted to make friends with him, so he welcomed him very much.

Among the four major elements of cultivating immortality, wealth, love, law, and earth, love is ranked second, which shows its importance.

Companions not only refer to Taoist companions, but also include mentors and friends encountered during practice.

The most taboo thing in cultivation is to practice behind closed doors. You need to communicate with others who share the same path and confirm each other. Only then can you discover the mistakes in your own cultivation and clarify your future path.

A month later, the beggar was eating the red rice from the bowl one by one while talking to Yun Yongzhu.

"Brother Ninth, when can we get to Lanzhou? It's so boring!"

This month has been a frustrating month for Beggar. There is nothing to do on the flying boat, and there is not much scenery to see.

He was the only child on the boat, and Yun Yongzhu only spared half an hour every day to teach him how to read and write.

"Didn't I make bamboo dragonflies for you?"

"I'm tired of playing it a long time ago, it's not fun!"

Beggar is just a child and has not yet practiced cultivation. How can he have such good concentration to stay in one place monotonously for a month?

I don’t know how many times Beggar asked this question. However, Yun Yongzhu did not answer him this time: “I’ll be there soon.” Instead, he said:

"It is estimated that we will be able to enter Lanzhou tonight and disembark tomorrow morning."

Beggar suddenly became excited.

"Really?! It's finally here. I'll never take a spaceship again!"

Yun Yongzhu teased him: "Weren't you very excited when you first came on board? You also wanted to run around on the boat!"

"I didn't know it was so boring here!"

"Okay, okay, eat quickly!"

After the meal, the beggar went out. I don't know if he was playing with the bamboo dragonfly that he was tired of playing with.

Yun Yongzhu usually doesn't put much restraint on the beggar and suppresses his nature too much.

He and the team leader Gu Liangping are now very familiar with each other, and everyone on the ship also knows Beggar, so Yun Yongzhu is not worried about his safety.

He slowly brewed a pot of spiritual tea for himself and took out the elixir he had not yet refined to study it carefully.

At noon, Gu Liangping arrived as promised.

"Junior Brother Yun, your realm seems to have become much more advanced. You look happy and peaceful."

Yun Yongzhu motioned for Gu Liangping to take a seat and poured him another cup of spiritual tea. "Senior Brother Gu, I just read the "Tao Jing" recently and gained something occasionally."

"The Tao Jing? Is it the metaphysical classic written by the mortal Yi Hong?"

The "Tao Jing" is widely circulated in the secular world, and even Gu Liangping, a monk, has heard of it.

"Yes, that's what he wrote."

"I didn't expect that the classics written by a mortal could be of such use. It seems that I might want to buy them if I have a chance."

"Why buy it? I, Senior Brother Bengu, can just take it."

Yun Yongzhu took out his Tao Jing and handed it to Gu Liangping.

Gu Liangping took a sip of spiritual tea.

"Then I'm welcome. Thank you so much, Junior Brother Yun!"

Gu Liangping cupped his hands and put the "Tao Jing" into his storage bag.

Then he changed his tone and said: "Junior brother Yun, why did you change this spiritual tea? This spiritual tea has a strong flavor but not bitterness, and has a sweet aftertaste when it enters the throat."

"Senior Brother Gu, your tongue is really sensitive!"

Yun Yongzhu smiled sarcastically. He had two kinds of spiritual tea in his hand, one was ordinary, and the other was this Wuyin tea. He usually brewed the cheap kind.

"Do you still need to taste it!? This spiritual energy is comparable to Qi Gathering Pill! Junior Brother Yun really hides it deeply, and he has not said anything about sharing it for so long!"

"Senior Brother Gu said it so lightly. If we hadn't arrived in Lanzhou soon, I would have been reluctant to take it out!"

This spiritual tea was a luxury item worth one tael of a hundred spiritual stones. He himself was reluctant to brew it and drink it. If he had taken it out earlier, there would be nothing left now. Yun Yongzhu only had one tael in total.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Yun, why are you going to Lanzhou? It's a bit remote there."

"My family is in Yunzhou. There are no merchant ships going directly to Yunzhou. I am going to Lanzhou next door."

"Oh I got it."

He drank the last sip of the spiritual tea in the cup and signaled Yun Yongzhu to give him another cup.

"I remember that there is a Yun's magic weapon shop in the main city of Lanzhou. It seems to be called Yunxiao Pavilion. Isn't this your family's property?"

"Oh! Really? I really don't know this. I was only ten years old when I left home, and I'm not very familiar with my family's industry.

But thanks to Brother Gu for reminding me, I will definitely go and see it when I get to Lanzhou. "

Nine times out of ten, it was the Yunwushan family's store, because he had heard many times that the names of all the family's stores were called Yunxiao Pavilion.

Yun Yongzhu originally thought of setting off directly back to Yunzhou when he arrived in Lanzhou. It seemed that he still had to go to Lanzhou City. It would be safer if he could borrow the power of his family to return to Yunzhou.

"Senior Brother Gu, tell me about the "Fire Technique" you talked about last time."

""Pyrotechnics"..."

…………

Shen time.

The sound of Beggar coming in interrupted the communication between the two.

"Oh, it's already Shenshi. It's getting late, so senior brother will leave first. Thank you, junior brother Yun, for your hospitality."

"Senior brother, walk slowly!"

After Gu Liangping left, Yun Yongzhu said to Beggar, "Beggar, what are you doing here? It took you so long to come back?!"

"I thought I was leaving tomorrow, so I walked around the boat."

Beggar scratched the back of his head.

"You said in the morning that the boat was boring, you are a ghost, you just have an idea for a while.

Okay, it's getting late, let's sit down and learn what we should learn today. "

I have been communicating with Senior Brother Gu all day today, and I haven’t taught the beggar how to read yet.
