Immortal, I have mediocre qualifications

Zhou Lie's childhood was peaceful and peaceful.

That year, he became a disciple of Alchemist Chen in Yaolu, and his path to alchemy began.

The road to growth is always a bit harder.

The sun was very bright in the East Nine District, but he was not afraid at all, and he was still enjoying it, digging up the soil and pulling out weeds.

It was really fun to grow spiritual grass. He could never get tired of watching it take root, sprout, and harvest when it matured.

The boring part is pharmacological knowledge.

That thing is like a heavenly book. Sometimes he can only get some useful knowledge by thinking about it in his head.

Despite being distressed, he still studied very seriously.

A qualified alchemist can overcome all suffering.

What he likes most is that in the quiet night, the bright fire rises from his hand, while watching the teacher practicing the sword and mastering the eight methods of fire control.

The teacher's swordsmanship is very simple, with only one sword, but it has great power. He once asked that his sword power was to cut off the stars.

Cut the stars.

This is something that even the great immortals cannot do.

But for some reason, he felt that the teacher could do it, probably because he admired the teacher too much.

There was another person for whom he was grateful.

Master uncle?

No, he likes to call her Master's Wife. Like his teacher, she has been with him throughout his childhood, buying him clothes, cooking for him, and doing her utmost to provide him with basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation.

The stove in the Temple of the Heavenly King carries all the warmth of his childhood. The teacher, mistress and him are like a family of three, living a peaceful life of mortals.

This kind of time is really good, but it is destined not to be constant and unique.

Time passes little by little, leaving many traces.

If we want to put a limit on this period of time, it would be eight years.

He has grown into a young man.

Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Lie and felt the speed of time more and more. He was a small one when he came, but now he is a young man with a tall body.

He is as warm as jade, and his body is as fragrant as his body. He already has the aura of an alchemist.

Lv Zhu nodded slightly. Zhou Lie had some aura from the alchemist of Yaolu. His face was like a jade, his body was tall and straight, and he had a kind of gentleness.

Among them, there is Chen Sheng's credit, but she also has the credit of Feedou.

Master Wife, I haven't started refining the elixir yet.

Zhou Lie's name was very smooth, and he had been calling it that way three years after the stove was built.

A true alchemist has successfully made alchemy in a furnace.

In this regard, he has been pressured by his teacher and refuses to let go, so he can only lay a firm foundation in alchemy.

Therefore, every once in a while, he would secretly test whether the teacher could let go of this gap.

I'll take you to pick out an alchemy furnace later, and you can try to be a real alchemist.

Chen Sheng automatically ignored the title of Master's Wife. Over the years, he could not change Zhou Lie's title, so he simply went with it.

Of course, he was aware of Lu Zhu's feelings after all, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

A person's immortality is destined to be lonely, but love is real and cannot be abandoned, so we can only let nature take its course.

On the contrary, Zhou Lie's question is too simple.

Over the past few years, the little guy's alchemy foundation has been very solid, and he can transform from an alchemy apprentice to an alchemy master.

real?!

Zhou Lie didn't expect that the surprise would come so suddenly. This time, the teacher would actually allow him to embark on the path of becoming an alchemist.

Silly boy, would your teacher lie to you?

Luzhu said with a smile.

She didn't want much, so she felt very happy just being able to be by Chen Sheng's side and having a son-like Zhou Lie.

Beishan gathering.

This is a small gathering in the outer gate. It occurs on the fifteenth day of every month and lasts for one day. Most of the people setting up stalls are alchemists, but there are also ordinary cultivators selling treasures.

Chen Sheng has been to Beishan gatherings several times to select some rare spiritual herbs, and he has gained a lot.

This time, he came with Zhou Lie and Lu Zhu.

There is such a place at the outer gate.

Zhou Lie found it very novel. He was familiar with the Twelve Halls of Yaolu and the East Nine District where spiritual herbs were grown, but no matter how many places there were, he was very unfamiliar.

The main reason is that he is very interested in alchemy stuff, but he lacks interest in other things.

This Beishan gathering was undoubtedly in line with his interests, but this was the first time he had heard of it and he had never been to it before.

I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would suffer.

Chen Sheng said carefully.

The people gathered in Beishan are all immortal cultivators from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, but don’t think that you won’t be slaughtered if you have a friendship with the same sect. The veterans will not be soft-hearted when meeting raw melon eggs. A few years of training will be enough to cheat you. .

This time, if he hadn't led them, some people with weak minds would have stepped forward to teach Zhou Ling.

The world of cultivating immortals is full of cunning.

Zhou Lie had the feeling of seeing the true nature of the world.

For eight years, he has been practicing with his teacher, and everything he sees is clean and clear, but he has forgotten that the world of immortality is cruel.

Even the Zhou family, a small Immortal Cultivator family he came from, had seen some bad things when he was a child, and the huge Guangxiu Immortal Sect had naturally experienced even more bad things.

It's hard to persevere, but it's easy to fall, especially in the world of immortality where big fists mean justice.

Chen Sheng pointed out the essence of worldly affairs. It is reasonable to fall, but being able to maintain one's nature and persist in oneself in the face of disaster is the most rare thing.

Cultivate the Tao and cultivate the mind.

This is a rule of his own.

An alchemist of Chen Sheng's level is naturally not unknown at gatherings. Many stall owners know him.

Alchemist Chen!

A stall owner with a red face shouted enthusiastically: What do you need?

His stall is very large and has an abundance of spiritual herbs and other cultivation materials. It can be seen that he is a businessman with a solid foundation.

Stallmaster Lin, do you have an alchemy furnace?

Chen Sheng knew this stall. He once bought a precious spiritual herb from him, and the price was very reasonable.

Based on a casual relationship, he came over and took a look at the stall. He didn't see the alchemy furnace, so he asked directly.

At the Beishan gathering, these powerful stall owners have good stuff, but they may not be exposed.

Alchemy furnace? Yes.

Stall owner Lin moved a wooden board under the stall and found a small alchemy furnace from the items inside.

This alchemy furnace is simple and elegant, with a faint light in the pure black. The word Xuan Ce is engraved on the body of the furnace, which is full of aura.

Buzz!

Chen Sheng took over the Xuance Furnace, injected a ray of mana into the body, and walked around smoothly without any stagnation.

Inspired by this, the alchemy furnace revived, flashing with a faint light, and the aura lingering at the mouth of the furnace, like a huge mouth of an abyss, capable of swallowing up all materials.

How about it? I won't take it out until Master Chen comes over. After all, you are the one who knows the goods.

Stall owner Lin is very confident in this alchemy furnace. This is not a new furnace, but one that has been cultivated by an alchemist for decades. It has a rare aura of alchemy.

It was only a senior alchemist like Chen Sheng who was willing to take it out, hoping to gain some friendship.

If it were anyone else, an ordinary alchemy furnace would probably be sent away.

Like it.

Although Chen Sheng thought the alchemy furnace was very good, he did not express his opinion and let Zhou Lie make the decision.

The alchemy furnace is similar to the sword in the hand of the alchemist. If the alchemist thinks it is not good, then even if ten thousand others think it is good, it is useless.

like.

Zhou Lie still had good eyesight, and he also took a fancy to Xuance Furnace. When the teacher said this, he was completely satisfied even though he was not even a little bit reluctant.

The stuff is good, so let's make a price.

In this case, Chen Sheng was relieved. He put down the Xuance stove and negotiated the price with stall owner Lin.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, Master Chen can just take it if he likes.

Stall owner Lin waved his hand very proudly. If he could exchange this for a favor from Chen Sheng, it would be worth it.

If you don't want to do this, just make an offer.

Chen Sheng was unmoved. Favor debts are more difficult to repay, and free ones are the most expensive.

He would rather pay a big price to buy Xuance Furnace than be cheated in the future and have to happily swallow the bitter pill.

Three top quality spiritual stones.

Hearing this, the stall owner Lin felt slightly disappointed. Chen Sheng was the top alchemist in Yaolu. With a favor, he could leverage benefits worth a hundred times the value of the Xuance Furnace.

However, the Xuance Furnace itself would make a profit from selling it. With a correct attitude, he still stated the price with a smile on his face.

OK.

Chen Sheng had no objection and agreed directly.

The stuff is indeed good and worth the price, and he has accumulated a lot of cultivation resources during his more than twenty years as an alchemist.

During this period, Chen Ergou also brought supplies to him, and even Elder Fuyunzi also gave him supplies every once in a while.

In short, his worth in the Qi Refining Realm is at a level that others would envy.

The girl must have taken a liking to this hairpin.

Stall owner Lin had sharp eyes and a thoughtful mind. He saw Lu Zhu's eyes and glanced at a hairpin twice in succession.

Looking at the hairpin again, it looked like a flying phoenix, embellished with golden flowers, and the workmanship was clever. It was indeed not bad. He knew that the other party was interested, and he immediately started selling it.

It's a bit eye-catching.

Lv Zhu was indeed a little interested in this flying phoenix hairpin, but it wasn't to the point where she was too interested in it, so she didn't take it directly just now.

I'll also set a price for the hairpin.

Chen Sheng said casually.

The relationship between the two has gone beyond ordinary friendship. A hairpin really doesn't require too much thinking.

Two top quality spiritual stones.

Stall owner Lin held out two fingers and smiled. Although he didn't get a single favor from Chen Sheng, the two big orders were enough to feed him for a month or two.

Give.

Being able to use two top-quality spiritual stones to buy an object that Luzhu thought suited his eyes, Chen Sheng thought it was worth it. It was also very convenient, so he paid for it and got it.

As a result, Luzhu and Zhou Lie were both delighted to get their beloved objects.

I put it on, but why did I take it off again?

Chen Sheng discovered a detail, Luzhu put the Feifeng hairpin on, and looked at it, his eyebrows were dancing with joy, and he could see that he loved it very much.

However, after a while, he took it off, put it in a storage bag, and sealed it.

What if it's stolen?

Luzhu said seriously.

how come.

Chen Sheng couldn't wrap his head around it. Don't look at Lvzhu cooking and working hard without complaining. He was also a Foundation Establishment monk.

In the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, he is considered to be a high-ranking person, and among the small families in the outside world, he can even be called the ancestor.

Who after eating enough would dare to stroke her beard and steal a hairpin worth three top-quality spiritual stones.

What if.

Luzhu was stubborn. This was the first thing Chen Sheng gave her. It was a hairpin from a woman's family. It was of great significance. How could she treat it lightly? It must be treasured.

Tsk tsk...

Zhou Lie held the alchemy furnace in his hands and loved it very much, but he still felt a little sour when he saw this scene.

There was a little reason why he called his uncle his master's wife.

Between two people, sometimes it's something subconscious that makes the third person feel spiritually weird.

…

Come to Chenguang Palace and tell me something.

After returning to the Heavenly King's Palace, a servant came to report that Alchemist Xifu from the Chenguang Palace had been invited.

What's going on?

Over the years, Chen Sheng's relationship with the three old people has remained close, but they were mostly just reminiscing about old times and just passing by as they pleased.

This was the first time that someone had been sent to look for him like this, and he felt that something was going on.

With this idea in mind, after he learned about it, he rushed to Chenguang Palace as soon as possible.

In the Chenguang Palace, not only Xi Fu, but also Alchemist Ding and Alchemist Fei came.

The three of them are really old, with gray hair and stooped waists, but they are very peaceful in mentality. Sometimes you can hear them laughing and calling themselves bad old men.

The three of them gathered together and were very harmonious. At this age, there wasn't much to fight about.

It’s possible to stay up and leave at any time.

Brother Chen is here.

Xi Fu saw that Chen Sheng's figure appeared. Time seemed to have not left any obvious traces on him, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.

But something big happened?

As soon as Chen Sheng arrived, he saw three old people who had great benevolence to him in his alchemy. They gathered together, and his heart couldn't calm down anymore.

The three of them were all alarmed. The matter was definitely not trivial.

Mr. Shen, we are going to the inner gate.

Xi Fu told the reason. Something big indeed happened, and the whole Yaolu was shaken.

Mr. Shen's prestige is extremely high in the medicine house. His presence is like a sea-calming needle, making people's hearts stable and never wavering.

Now that this person is about to enter the inner gate, it really makes people feel dazed for a moment.

However, this is an opportunity for Chen Sheng. After Mr. Shen left, the position of the elder of Yaolu became vacant.

Now is the time for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers.

Mr. Shen has a favorite successor.

Chen Sheng asked the most important question.

Mr. Shen hasn't left yet. His opinion is not unimportant. Even the people above him will consider it carefully if they see him recommending it.

No, so you have a good chance.

Xi Fu shook his head. Mr. Shen left no legacy and was very fair in dealing with people.

That's why he said that Chen Sheng had a great chance.

In the past thirty years, Chen Sheng has been the most popular alchemist in the outer sect. His alchemy skills are recognized by Yaolu as powerful.

There are also three old guys who are working hard at the back. Whether it is ability or connections, they are all maxed out. I don't believe they will fail.

The critical moment has come.

Master Ding was more concerned than Chen Sheng. He had been waiting for this moment for twenty-eight years, and he should be satisfied.

In addition to us, you have also used your available connections to start writing letters of recommendation.

The promotion process of the Yaolu elder is the same as that of the Yaolu deacon. If no one recommends it, it will be in vain if he is capable enough.

In this regard, Chen Sheng also has savings. Over the past twenty years, he has firmly grasped the dominance of the rising star and has met many alchemists.

good.

Chen Sheng nodded.
