"Just an ordinary outer disciple, a little arrogant, with a sixth level of Qi Gathering cultivation, but it is said that he has only been a disciple for three years."
"I have been a disciple for three years. It seems that I am a disciple with good qualifications... How old is he?"
"About twenty or so."
"Twenty? At such an age, he does have some proud qualifications. Where is he?"
"Still in the Herb Valley."
"Is what he said true?"
"Reporting to the elder, I can't lie at this time. I'm afraid no one in the entire Qingzhou continent can break through that piece of land. It should be the red earth that breaks open on its own. After all, there are such pioneers."
"This boy is good, you can bring him to see me."
"Yes, elder!"
With a creaking sound, the door slowly closed. The clear sunlight was blocked by the landing door, and the originally bright room became lifeless.
At this time, Chu Cheng was talking to Zhang Fei.
"What do you think Hong'er will name her children when she gives birth to them in the future?" Zhang Fei asked. He was born as an ordinary commoner, with no more than a few books, so he naturally asked Chu Cheng, who was born into a princely family.
"Zhang Xiaosan!" Chu Cheng dug up a yellow radish and said casually while nibbling on it.
"Xiaosan? What does this name mean?" Zhang Fei looked admiring.
"The meaning is..." Chu Cheng didn't expect that Zhang Fei didn't know the meaning of this word. Thinking about it, it was another world after all.
"Three...Three refers to the three most respected people: king, father, and teacher. You understand." Chu Cheng said nonsense with a serious face.
"Then why not call him Zhang San?" Zhang Fei asked doubtfully.
"Then he is king, father, and master? I added small characters to show your child's respect for these three types!" Chu Cheng shook his head.
"Yeah! You're welcome." Chu Cheng said with a smile. After a while, he seemed to have a conscience and said hurriedly: "It's better not to use this. Do you want to call me Zhang Bairen?"
"Haha, let's call it Xiao San! The more I think about it, the more I think it sounds interesting. Junior Brother Chu is indeed a man of culture!" Zhang Fei refused, very satisfied with the name Zhang Xiaosan.
"Oh! It's my honor to name the children of Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Yan." Chu Cheng felt a little guilty at this time.
"Junior Brother Chu, a deacon is here." Old Meng said at the side.
Sure enough, after a while, a figure flew from the distance.
"It turns out to be Deacon Wang!" Zhang Fei clasped his fists after seeing the person clearly.
"Haha, Brother Zhang has been doing well lately." Deacon Wang cupped his hands, and seeing Old Meng here, he smiled and said, "I've met Senior Brother Meng!"
The internal deacon of Luoyun Sect is just an inner disciple, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Gathering. Except for Chu Cheng, the few here are all at the ninth level of Qi Gathering, not to mention Old Man Meng, so Deacon Wang naturally has to be polite.
.
"I went to see them just now, and they have indeed successfully completed their tasks." Deacon Wang said.
"Hahaha! We can finally go out." Although Zhang Fei completed the task, he was very excited when he heard Deacon Wang say.
Yan Hong's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she never thought that she would be able to go out one day. But Old Meng had been here for more than fifty years and was not very excited.
Deacon Xia smiled slightly, took out four black signs and said, "Here are two hundred contribution points, take them."
Chu and Cheng each received a sign.
"Would it be better to break the Qi Pill when we get out, or the secret book?" Chu Cheng thought in his mind, hesitating between the two.
"Thank you so much, Deacon Wang!" Zhang Fei thanked him from the side.
"You're welcome, this is what you deserve." Deacon Wang said.
"Then I'll say goodbye first!" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to leave.
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky again.
"Foundation-building monk!" Chu Cheng's eyes lit up, and the person's aura was that of a foundation-building monk.
"Senior Brother Jin!" Deacon Wang saluted hurriedly and respectfully.
The monk surnamed Jin just nodded slightly and said directly: "Who is Chu Cheng?"
Chu Cheng's expression changed as he stood aside. He looked at the monk surnamed Jin. He seemed to have never been in contact with him. Why were you looking for him?
Zhang Fei and the others turned their attention to Chu Cheng.
"Ahem, I've met senior brother! I am Chu Cheng." Chu Cheng had no choice but to stand up and say.
The monk surnamed Jin nodded and said: "Elder Changsun asked you to go over."
"Elder Changsun?" Not only Chu Cheng was stunned, but Deacon Wang and Old Man Meng were also stunned.
Elder Changsun's real name is Changsuntang, and he is a liquid condensation monk. More importantly, he is one of the three elders in the alchemy hall in Baicao Valley, and his alchemy skills have reached the third level!
Third-level alchemy masters are one of the few in Qingzhou Continent. But Chu Cheng naturally doesn't know who Chang Sun Tang is, he is just a little confused.
"Did he know what happened at night?" Chu Cheng was a little worried.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Chu!" the monk surnamed Jin said with a smile.
Chu and Cheng were all stunned, not understanding what the disciple surnamed Jin meant by these words. Only Old Man Meng rolled his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Junior brother, we'll find out when we get there!" the monk surnamed Jin said with a smile on his face.
"Well... okay, I'll bother you, senior brother." Chu Cheng couldn't refuse, so he had to smile and thank him.
"Goodbye, everyone!" The monk surnamed Jin put away his smile, said to the others, and then flew away.
Chu Cheng sighed and said to Old Man Meng: "Wait for me?"
Old Meng nodded, but looked at Chu Cheng with a strange expression. As for Yan Hong and his wife, they naturally would not refuse.
Chu Cheng also flew up and followed the monk surnamed Jin.
The monk surnamed Jin also slowed down in order to take care of Chu Cheng, but he waited for a long time before he saw Chu Cheng's figure.
"Junior brother, do you want me to give you a ride?" The monk surnamed Jin hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Thank you so much, senior brother!" Chu Cheng was a little embarrassed and knew that the other party thought he was too slow.
The monk surnamed Jin smiled, took out a flying sword, silently recited the formula, and instantly grew bigger.
"You can come up now!" said the monk surnamed Jin.
Chu Cheng nodded, stood up, and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what is this?"
"Oh? This is the art of sword control, but it requires flying equipment." The monk surnamed Jin was startled, seeing that Chu Cheng, who was on the sixth level of Qi Gathering, didn't even know the art of sword control, but he still told him.
The flying speed of the foundation-building monks is indeed very fast. The monk named Jin can fly at least three times faster than Chu Cheng with his sword.
Soon, we arrived in front of a cave gate.
"Greetings to Elder Changsun, the disciple has brought Chu Cheng!" The monk surnamed Jin stopped in front of the cave.
"Come in!" A voice came from inside the cave.
Chu Cheng followed the monk surnamed Jin and walked in. As soon as he entered the cave, he saw the back room full of cabinets with bottles of medicine placed on them. Then he saw a middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk was no more than five feet tall, with a big belly and a large mole at the corner of his eye. He looked like an ordinary person.
But Chu Cheng would not regard him as an ordinary person. Just the aura that the middle-aged monk exuded intentionally or unintentionally made Chu Cheng feel like he was facing a ferocious beast. This person is undoubtedly the liquid monk!
"Jin Yan pays homage to Elder Changsun!" The monk surnamed Jin saluted.
"Very good, this is a Heqi pill, take it." The middle-aged monk took out a bottle of pill and handed it to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan's body trembled, and he was slightly excited. Heqi Pill is a pill used by foundation-building monks. It can increase foundation-building cultivation. Unexpectedly, Elder Changsun gave him a Heqi Pill while running errands!
"Thank you very much, Elder Zhangsun! Then disciple, take your leave!" Jin Yan said knowingly after taking the elixir.
As soon as Jin Yan left, the room became quiet.
Chu Cheng thought for a while, but still bowed to the elder Changsun as a junior. He said softly: "Disciple Chu Cheng, I have met Elder Changsun!"
The middle-aged monk stretched out his hand to indicate that he did not need to be polite, and slowly said: "How old are you this year?"
"Back to the elder, this disciple is nineteen years old!" Chu Cheng responded truthfully without thinking.
The middle-aged monk patted his belly and said calmly: "Nineteen? Sixth level of Qi gathering, very good, very good!" After a while, the middle-aged monk said again: "I am Chang Sun Tang, do you know the art of alchemy?"
Although Chu Cheng didn't understand why he asked about alchemy, he still replied: "The disciple doesn't know."
"Then do you know the efficacy of the elixir?" Changsuntang asked again.
Chu Cheng naturally knew this and immediately replied: "The elixir can cure diseases and injuries, and can even help our monks improve their cultivation."
Chang Suntang narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Yes, but elixirs are very difficult to practice, and the alchemy master is only one in a million. I think you have the talent to make alchemy, and you are willing to become my teacher! Become a registered disciple? Wait.
If you become a second-grade alchemist, you can become my only personal successor!"
Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. It would be great to be a disciple of a liquid condensation monk, let alone an alchemist?
"Of course the disciple is willing!" Chu Cheng hurriedly performed the apprenticeship ceremony. In Luoyun Sect, apprenticeship does not require kneeling and kowtow, except for direct disciples.
Changsuntang nodded with satisfaction, walked to the cabinet and took out a blue medicine bottle.
"This is a Qi-Breaking Pill, treat it as a greeting gift from your master."
Chu Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly caught it. This Qi-Breaking Pill came in time. He was originally struggling to choose between the Qi-Breaking Technique and the Qi-Breaking Pill, but this solved a problem.
"Thank you, Master!" Chu Cheng saluted and thanked.
"This is a book on the basics of alchemy. Just take it and go to the alchemy hall to practice the art of alchemy on weekdays." Chang Sun Tang took out another book with a blue cover, with "Alchemy Jue" written clearly on it.
Chu Cheng thanked him and took it, waiting for the master to give him the next item.
Wait, wait...
"Well? Why aren't you leaving yet?" Changsun Tang frowned. He didn't speak, so he issued an eviction order.
"Ah!" Chu Cheng was stunned. He was still waiting for the gift below, so why did he let himself go now? Where is the spirit stone? Where is the technique?
"Then the disciple resigns?" Chu Cheng still tested it.
After a while, Chu Cheng saw that this master really had no intention of giving him the spiritual stone, so he had to leave.
Chu Cheng walked out of the cave and muttered to himself that his master was really stingy. Even Elder Xia Changzhou gave him a lot of spiritual stones. But this master didn't give him any. He was really a tough guy.
Little did he know that the value of a Qi-breaking pill to a Qi-gathering monk was no less than a high-grade spiritual stone.
