"Little friend, I would like to ask, how far are you from refining the golden elixir now?" The old Taoist gently nodded his head at Ye Shenyu, and then his eyes with a smile returned to Yang Di again.
"It's almost there. If nothing else happens, we can achieve that step within a few months."
Yang Di thought for a while and responded seriously. For such an old monster, since the other party is not hostile, he should naturally deal with it carefully.
The scene where the old Taoist appeared just now was indeed scary. If they were to fight, I don't know if they would have any room to fight back.
Around them, Feng Wu and Di Bo all had fiery eyes. The two idiots Liu Xing and Gongsun Hao were full of admiration. From Sister Yu's reaction, they could already see that this was a genuine master. A real master.
The top powerhouse, whose way of teleporting like an immortal walking just now made them envious.
Especially Feng Wu. Now she desires to gain power more than anyone else. Her pretty face is a little dizzy. She secretly fantasizes that if she can be so strong, then maybe she can go back to that family openly and seek explanations from those ugly people.
Already…
But unfortunately, the old Taoist's attention was not on them. When the old Taoist heard Yang Di's response, although he was prepared, his eyes still shrank slightly, and he could not hide the joy on his face.
"My little friend must have guessed that the old man came here because he wants to be your protector."
The old Taoist nodded with deep satisfaction, and then told him seriously, without any cover-up, directly stating his intention of coming here.
"This..." Yang Di's face trembled. He had indeed thought of the old man's purpose, because Ye Shenyu had already said it before. However, if he really encountered such a thing, he would still be a little at a loss.
In his current situation, he really needs the help of such powerful monks, and this is also the practice of those powerful alchemists in ancient times.
In the past, when his alchemy skills were still low, he really wasn't qualified to say such things, but recently, with a series of opportunities, his alchemy skills are also improving by leaps and bounds.
The response just made is not an exaggeration. In fact, it is a conservative estimate. With the stability of Taoism and the deepening of the integration of fire spirit, this day will not be too long ago.
Now, after obtaining the Yanhuang Immortal Technique, his fire control ability can be improved step by step, so he is now very close to refining the golden elixir.
It's just that Yang Di has the confidence, but he lacks experience in how to contact such powerful old antiques, let alone how those alchemists in ancient times could keep such existences around them in the most practical way.
After all, his current cultivation level is still far from that of these old antiques, and he will definitely not be able to catch up in a short time. There are still some worries.
In fact, Ye Shenyu had already stood up before he could look for help. Now this woman was very willing and seemed to speak for Yang Di as a matter of course.
"Senior is famous, his strength is unfathomable, and he is willing to give in. We naturally welcome him, but our thoughts on how to get along with him in the future may be a little offensive to him."
Ye Shenyu is neither humble nor overbearing, and is seriously contacting this old man who was once famous in the monastic world for Yang Di. Some things are matters of principle, so even if there are some risks, she can only tell them in advance to avoid hidden dangers in the future.
In ancient times, the alchemist and the protector were undoubtedly respected by the former. The only difference was that the alchemist would be more polite to those protectors who were too powerful.
However, the relationship between master and slave has always been clear-cut. If there is a guardian who is unwilling to obey, the alchemist would usually rather not have one.
This is easy to understand. No one wants to bring a strong and uncontrollable old man with him. Otherwise, if there is a dispute, it will not only be a conflict, but may directly threaten the life of the alchemist.
Therefore, in ancient times, when an alchemist contacted a powerful person who came here for his fame, no matter how fancy the talks between the two parties were, there was a red line that was almost insurmountable.
That is, you must sign a soul contract!
The specific content of this contract that connects the two souls is different, but the bottom line is that the protector cannot harm the alchemist who follows him under any circumstances.
Of course, in order to pursue a certain balance, there are generally no provisions in the contract laws that allow alchemists to punish and kill the guardians at will like slaves.
The so-called soul contract is an ancient method in which runes are woven with a certain Taoist rhyme and imprinted on the souls of both parties to the contract.
It is not an agreement on paper, so there is no possibility of "breaking the contract" within the contract time. The long cultivation civilization has proven that even if the weakest alchemist signs a soul contract with the divine at the immortal level, the latter will almost never
It is impossible to erase the contract runes by virtue of cultivation.
Perhaps after becoming a true immortal, one can achieve this step, but within the mortal realm, this is not technically possible.
This is mainly because the runes are imprinted on the soul. No matter how strong the cultivation level is, the runes will become correspondingly strong.
Although Ye Shenyu's words at this moment are euphemistic, the general meaning is pointing to this. She is very knowledgeable, and no matter what, she cannot just sit back and watch Yang Di take risks without knowing why.
Originally, in ancient times, this was a very common thing, but the way of alchemy has been cut off for thousands of years. In the monastic world of later generations, signing a soul contract has gradually become something strange and even subconsciously scary.
No matter how senior Taoist Qing Zhong is, he cannot be an ancient figure. In the era when he became famous, the profession of alchemist also no longer existed.
The reason why Ye Shenyu said he was offended was because he was worried that this veteran would not be able to accept the soul contract. Of course, they would stick to this bottom line no matter what.
To have it or not to have it is completely two different situations. After having it, they can rest assured, otherwise the ascetic would rather not have it.
"Haha! This old man comes here sincerely. Naturally, he is well aware of the rules of those alchemists in the past. He will abide by this clause of the soul contract." Unexpectedly, Qingzhong Qingzhong waved his hand disapprovingly and said it.
The words were clearly stated, and he promised to fulfill this bottom line without hesitation.
This made Ye Shenyu extremely happy. The fact that the visitor could say this clearly showed that he was indeed sincere.
"Since senior is so open-minded, it seems that we are too cautious. Senior, please come in and let's discuss the future matters seriously."
Ye Shenyu made a serious invitation gesture, as if negotiating, to invite this veteran into the living room. Now that everyone is in the yard, it is indeed a bit rude.
