Cultivation Of Immortality: Starting From Working As A Cook In A Weapon-Refining Shop

"Of course."

"But can this guy really recruit students?"

"It's difficult to estimate. No one is stupid nowadays. Choosing the right mentor is related to the future and destiny."

"It would be funny if there are no apprentices later."

...

After a while, the master of ceremonies announced that the apprenticeship ceremony had officially begun.

At this time, in the center of the square, the elite students who were already ready to go walked onto the high platform in an orderly manner and walked towards their respective mentors.

On Lu Yu's side, the four students from before all came over.

"There are four geniuses stopping in front of that kid? Are those four stupid?"

"Who are those four students? Do you know them?"

"One is Liu Ruyan, the number one weapon refining genius of this generation in the Southern Guild. His qualifications rank among the top ten among this group of disciples."

"One is the weapon-refining genius Yang Kai from the first family in Yangzhou in the east. Although his qualifications are not that outstanding, his family background is extraordinary."

"There are two others I don't know, but if you can become an elite disciple at such a young age, your qualifications are not bad."

"What kind of ecstasy soup did this kid use? How could he recruit these good prospects?"

"Who knows?"

...

At this time, a group of weapon-refining instructors on the stage saw the four people in front of Lu Yu, their eyes were blazing, and some older instructors were soliciting unscrupulously: "Liu Ruyan, come to my side, I will focus on training you! "

The elderly mentor tried his best to sound gentle and showed a kind look on his face.

However, Liu Ruyan smiled gently and politely refused: "Thank you very much, Teacher Liu, for your kindness, but I have already identified Teacher Lu."

"That's such a shame..."

The elderly mentor couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

He didn't expect that he would be rejected even if he took the initiative to speak with his qualifications. He was really drunk.

However, there is still some unwillingness to give up.

"Yang Kai, you are usually so smart, why are you so confused now? Your father once asked me to take care of you, come here quickly!" A middle-aged tutor said with a strong voice.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xu, I have already identified myself as Master Lu. Even if my father comes, I won't change!"

The male cultivator, who was very good at observing words and emotions, quickly apologized.

"What's so good about that kid? He wants resources but not resources, and fame but not fame. If you choose him, you will definitely regret it!" The middle-aged mentor suddenly became angry when he heard this.

"Just let me be willful for once, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"..."

Another person was rejected, and the instructor couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, secretly saying that it was bad luck.

No one knew the other two disciples, and no one could say anything about them.

Lu Yufeng watched all this calmly, neither stopping nor caring.

After a long time, seeing that all four of them were unwavering, he solemnly asked, "Have you all thought it through? You won't regret it?"

"No regrets!" All four of them shook their heads firmly.

"I'm a lazy person. As my student, I will only give you directions, but I won't give you any resource help. How you go in the future depends on you! If you regret it, say it now. It’s still too late!” Lu Yu continued to persuade.

However, the four of them still did not waver.

"Okay, then from today on, I will be your mentor!"

As Lu Yu finished speaking, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The dust has finally settled.

Not long after, the "apprenticeship" ceremony officially began.

Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, each student respectfully served apprenticeship tea to his or her mentors. The mentors also took out gifts and rewarded them to the students in turn.

Of course, these gifts are not very valuable, they just represent a sincere intention. After all, there is a big difference between a mentor recruiting students and truly recruiting a disciple. The former can only be regarded as a registered disciple, while the latter is a disciple who inherits the mantle.

Lu Yu also gave each student a jade slip, which contained a huge landscape picture for them to understand on their own.

This landscape may seem shabby to outsiders, but to the four students, it was extremely surprising, because they knew that every part of this landscape contained natural formations. As long as they could visualize and comprehend some Fur will benefit immensely.

In the following period, although Lu Yu said that he was only responsible for introducing the disciples, he still patiently gave guidance to each disciple.

Let them refine the weapon alone first, then point out problems on the spot, and finally refine it by themselves for comparison.

Within a few days, the four of them were extremely impressed.

"Instructor Lu, have you heard? The Holy Alliance is going to start dividing the land!"

On this day, Lu Yu, who had just arrived at the guild instructor's weapon refining room, suddenly heard the students hurried in and said excitedly.

"Oh? When?" Lu Yu was a little surprised when he heard this. Why didn't he receive the news?

"Today, right now, many people have passed away!"

"I heard that there are still people who have been entrusted with a hundred miles of territory!"

All the students said with envy.

Many elites with high military exploits are about to become city lords at a young age. They even establish sects and develop their own power. From then on, they are superior to others.

It's a pity that they are only weapon refiners. Although they did earn a lot of spiritual stones during this period, compared with these elites of the rich clan, they are not even a little behind.

"These people are really lucky. From now on, as long as the Holy Alliance's defense line does not collapse, they can enjoy a lot of good things, beautiful wives and concubines!" Bai Junyi said with a sour tone.

He also told his family that he wanted to form a team and go to the front line to charge and kill the enemy.

But his grandfather refused to let him go to the battlefield. Instead, he forced him to concentrate on learning weapon refining. Now that he saw others dividing the clan, it suddenly became unpalatable.

"Tch, what is there to envy? We are people who want to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, aren't we much more noble than them?" Yang Kai was slightly disdainful when he heard this.

His family's power was not bad, and they had a lot of territory, but he didn't feel that it was any good.

At this time, Lu Yu's message Baoyu suddenly sounded urgently.

"Ice Commander?"

As soon as he opened the communication gem, Lu Yu was startled.

Are there any urgent tasks?

When they first went on the mission, in order to facilitate communication, the two of them left a message to each other.

"You guys study on your own first, I'll go out for a while." Lu Yu quickly said to the students.

"..."

When all the students saw this, they all looked at each other. If they received the summons at this time, it couldn't be about enfeoffment, right?

Just how is it possible?

"Commander Bing, what's the matter?"

Arriving at the inner courtyard of the guild, in a remote and deserted place, Lu Yu clicked on the communication jade and asked.

"The enfeoffment begins today."

Bing Ruoqing's tone was as cold as ever.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Yu replied calmly.

"Your military exploits are more than what you actually show. Tell me privately after you have made your choice!" Bing Ruoqing added again.

"Okay, thank you!"

"..."

When Bing Ruoqing heard this, there was a moment of silence.

She finally took the initiative to contact him. Is this guy stupid? Is there nothing else you want to say to her?

"Is there anything else?" Lu Yu was a little curious when he saw that the communication jade had not been extinguished for a long time.

"Gone."

As soon as the voice fell, the communication jade was finally extinguished instantly.

"..."

Lu Yu felt a little strange. The last two words of the other party seemed a little angry?

However, he didn't have time to dwell on it. He quickly explained to the students and returned to the sect's headquarters, taking Liu Yiyi to fly to the Xuantian Alliance headquarters.

During this period, due to the suppression of Tianwei Sect, they were extremely eager to get a piece of land to mine ore and meet the needs of refining weapons.

Before, he was too weak, so he had been hiding in the Holy Land to seek shelter. Now he has some strength and can go out to guard one side.

…………………………………………

When they arrived at the Xuantian Alliance headquarters, they found that many Xuantian Holy Envoys had gathered here, including Mu Yuqing and Yang Huiling.

Although Mu Yuqing suffered a disastrous defeat, she had achieved quite a lot in her early battles.

However, the figures of Zhang Peng and others have not been seen yet.

At this time, everyone was carefully studying the map of the territory given by the Holy Alliance.

Since where to choose will determine the fate of the sect for thousands of years to come, all parties choose carefully.

"Young Master, this is the land that the Xuantian Alliance has decided to entrust. Where should we choose?"

Liu Yiyi took a sheepskin map from the elder, handed it to Lu Yu, and asked.

The territory that the Xuantian Alliance entrusted this time included the unclaimed land of the three northern continents and some uninhabited islands along the East China Sea.

But it is mainly Beisan Continent. Those who choose the territory are also responsible for developing Beisan Continent and resisting Qianlong Continent.

"We choose the islands on the front line of the East China Sea!" Lu Yu decided after taking a glance.

This map was very different from the one Bing Ruoqing showed him, so he already had an idea in mind.

"Why did you choose the island?" Liu Yiyi was very curious.

"Because the territory is huge!" Lu Yu said matter-of-factly.

The enfeoffment of the Holy Alliance is calculated based on the available land area, so if it is exchanged for an island, the actual sphere of influence must be much larger than that of the land.

"But there are very few mineral veins on the island?" Liu Yiyi was puzzled.

"No, not much at all! The mineral veins are all under the sea!" Lu Yu shook his head and said.

"Ah? Seabed mining?" Liu Yiyi was surprised when she heard this.

There are indeed many mineral veins on the seabed, but are they countless times more difficult than mining on land?

"It will be a little more difficult, but the key is that it is inexhaustible! Once we have finished harvesting in the offshore sea, we can still go to the far sea to collect it. Our journey should cover the entire sea!"

"..."

Liu Yiyi was speechless for a while after hearing this. The whole sea? Isn't this too whimsical?

But the other party had already made up his mind, and she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't persuade him.

Just as the two began to discuss the details, Yang Huiling and Mu Yuqing finally came over.

"Captain Lu, where are you going to choose?" Yang Huiling asked curiously.

"Islands along the East China Sea."

"Island? Not many people are willing to go to this." Yang Huiling was also puzzled.

On the one hand, there are few mineral veins on the islands along the route, but the key is that there are also few people.

You know, a city can be prosperous if there are many monks. When it is prosperous, taxes in all aspects can be high.

"There is no way, the other territories are too small." Lu Yu said with a smile.

There are few mineral veins on the surface of the island, but the vast seabed has endless resources that can be mined for thousands of years without drying up. There are many more resources than can be seen inland.

When Yang Huiling heard this, she nodded in understanding.

The same military exploits can be exchanged for a prosperous inland area or a remote and less populated area, and the area will be different.

A small city in a prosperous inland area may require tens of millions of military merits, while a remote island may require only a few million military merits for a large territory.

"Lu Yu, with the few manpower you have, you don't naively think you can defend an island, do you?" Mu Yuqing couldn't help but said after hearing this.

The other party said he would help her get revenge last time. Even though it was a blind cat that met a dead mouse, it was revenge after all, so she became less hostile towards the other party, so she kindly reminded her.

"Yes, not to mention the invasion of other powerful enemies, but the tide of beasts that come every once in a while, you can't resist." Yang Huiling couldn't help but persuade.

"I advise you to be obedient and exchange some resources inland to become a rich man and avoid losing all your money!" Mu Yuqing said with a hint of disdain.

"Thank you for your concern, but I won't worry about it anymore!"

…………………………………………

In other words, there are tens of thousands of islands scattered along the vast coastline to the east of Xuantian Continent.

However, due to the influence of beast tides from time to time and the invasion of Qianlong and Yangyan continent pirates, no big forces have taken root here. Most of them are small and medium-sized forces who are jealous of the monster resources in the sea, so they spend manpower and material resources to station and hunt here. kill.

Pearl Island is a larger island on the coastline of the Eastern Territory. The island goes deep into the East China Sea, so there is an endless stream of casual cultivators who have come here to hunt monsters. Originally, this place was once the territory of a small sect with peak Nascent Soul monks. However, over the past few years, During the previous large-scale beast tide, the sect failed to escape in time and was attacked by the raging beast tide and was completely wiped out. All the buildings and shops here were also destroyed.

Since then, although this island is good, it has become ownerless, so the Xuantian Alliance took back ownership.

Over the years, no sect has dared to apply to come here to garrison, so the number of casual cultivators who come to hunt monsters has also been decreasing, and the prosperity of the past is no longer the same.

After Lu Yu carefully considered it, he finally decided to choose this island.

The main reason is that the geographical location is so advantageous. Not only is the island a huge territory, but there are also endless resources of monsters and beasts nearby, as well as all kinds of spiritual materials and mineral veins. As long as it can block the attack of the beast tide, then this place is a naturally blessed place.

Although it is a little far from the inland and lacks many resources in the inland forest, this is not a problem at all for Lu Yu. Lu Yu owns the entire primeval forest of the Lost World, does he still lack forest resources?

It can be said that after taking over this island, Xianyuan Pavilion will have all kinds of raw materials needed for weapon refining, and they will be inexhaustible.

From now on, no one can hijack Xianyuan Pavilion from its source of goods.

The only drawback is that there are too few monks here, and it is far less prosperous than the Nine Heavens Holy Land. However, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Once this area is developed, as long as there are enough good magic weapons, no one will come.

After making the final decision, Lu Yu took out the summons jade and walked to a deserted area, and sent a summons request to Bing Ruoqing.

In less than a breath, the summons was answered.
