Lingxiao Gongfang City was full of people coming and going as always, and several restaurants were also full of recreational drinkers.
"Have you heard that a strange thing happened in our Lingxiao Palace that has never happened in a thousand years?" In a restaurant with a good business, at the wine table by the window, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes deliberately showed off.
"What's strange?" several drinkers at the same table asked one after another.
"The guy named Lu Xiaotian who obtained the most Foundation Establishment Pills last time he entered the Scarlet Forbidden Land has not yet succeeded in Foundation Establishment." The luxurious young man smiled happily, "Lu Xiaotian, do you know that he was originally from Wangyue City?
A casual cultivator entered the Lingxiao Palace with me. His qualifications were really poor. I had offended him at the beginning. After hearing the news that he came out of the Bloody Forbidden Land, I was shocked. I didn’t expect that he would also
It's really bad. Dozens of foundation-building pills have failed. It's a waste of those pills and a waste of resources. If it were me, I would have succeeded several times."
The young man in fine clothes said that he was both lucky and sad at the same time.
"Just you? You're only at the eleventh level of Qi Refining now. If you want to build a foundation, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few years, and you'll need a foundation-building pill." Although a young drinker next to him knew the young man in Chinese clothes, his friendship was obvious.
It's not too reliable, so he immediately questioned, "But even if you reach the thirteenth floor, I'm afraid you may not be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill by then. Besides, Lu Xiaotian hasn't come out yet, and his retreat may not be over yet."
"In half a year, no matter how slow the foundation building is, it has already been completed. There is no need to wait until now. If it had succeeded, he would have come out to show off. Only if he failed would he be silent. Maybe this kid failed to build the foundation at this time and has lost his face.
Seeing someone, maybe he left Lingxiao Palace with his tail between his legs."
The young man in colorful clothes said with disdain, if he succeeded, he would have held a big banquet for all his relatives and friends, and spread the word, and other new foundation-building monks in Lingxiao Palace, big and small, would celebrate that he entered Lingxiao.
He has been in the palace for more than eight years, and has many friends. He knows the monks who are building foundations in several nearby peaks, not to mention Lu Xiaotian, who is also from the Qinglian Peak.
"Looks like I'm going to disappoint you. I don't have to leave Lingxiao Palace with my tail between my legs." A faint voice sounded from the corridor of the stairs.
The young people in Chinese attire looked around and saw a young man in green clothes with a slightly youthful appearance emerging from the stairs. The powerful spiritual pressure coming from his body was clearly that of a foundation-building monk, and judging by his tone,
It seems that the visitor is ill-intentioned.
"Senior, I'm on top. This junior is ignorant and offended. Please forgive me, senior." The face of the young man in Chinese clothes suddenly turned pale. He knelt on the ground and begged Lu Xiaotian for forgiveness. Although it had been eight years.
He hadn't seen it, but from the brows of the ordinary-dressed young man in front of him, he could still tell that the person in front of him was clearly the Lu Xiaotian he had just teased. Thinking of the verbal offense just now, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the young man in fine clothes. At this time,
Feeling regretful and not caring about the shame, he reached out and slapped himself in the face.
"Senior, senior! The juniors and others are criticizing seniors behind their backs for no reason, seniors, please punish them."
Several other people also looked worried and uneasy, and they all apologized to Lu Xiaotian. Although the foundation-building monks could not punish them for no reason in the city, the premise was that they had to be reasonable. Now not only did they criticize others behind their backs, but they were also
If people are caught, they will suffer losses wherever the lawsuit goes. Besides, the backers behind them are far worse than a foundation-building monk. Even if Lu Xiaotian doesn't do it himself, there will be many people willing to help.
Lu Xiaotian didn't expect that he would meet Guo Yun, the son of the aristocratic family who had joined Lingxiao Palace together. Although he didn't like Guo Yun at all, he didn't have so much time to waste on such boring people at this time.
There was still business going on at this time, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, get out of here."
Guo Yun raised his head with a look of disbelief on his face. He didn't expect Lu Xiaotian to let him go so easily. Others were also a little surprised.
"Do you need me to say it a second time?" Lu Xiaotian's face turned cold when he saw that several people were still stunned here.
"Yes, junior, get out of here right away." Guo Yun and others happily escaped from the restaurant as if they were receiving an amnesty.
"These guys are really lucky to meet a foundation-building senior with such a good temper." Other Qi Refining monks discussed privately.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes swept around the restaurant, and his eyes fell on a drunken man with a slovenly beard and smell of alcohol who occupied a table by himself in the corner. He walked over and sat down and said, "This is Zhang
Yang Alchemist."
Lu Xiaotian didn’t know anyone, so he naturally wouldn’t come to this restaurant for no reason. After walking around Lingxiao Gongfang City, he didn’t find a suitable alchemy furnace. Alchemy furnaces are not like weapons.
In general mass production, every monk needs weapons, but not every monk needs an alchemy furnace.
He looked down upon the use of alchemists. As for the alchemists, the entire Lingxiao Palace heard that there was only one senior alchemist, and only a dozen intermediate alchemists. There were only dozens of junior alchemists. With so few alchemists, the alchemy furnace
Naturally, there is no huge demand like spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Therefore, it is actually much harder to obtain a suitable alchemy furnace than a suitable weapon.
He inquired around the area and only heard that there was a junior alchemist named Zhang Yang. It seemed that something had happened recently. The elixir-making rate was too low. He had spent more than a dozen batches of elixirs in succession. No one was looking for him.
He made elixirs, and Zhang Yang spent all day in the market getting drunk. So he came over with the attitude of giving it a try.
"You want to ask me to make elixirs? You have found the wrong person. No one will believe me now, and I can't make elixirs anymore. Oh, I am still a foundation-building expert. I'm sorry." After a long while, Zhang Yang said
He opened his hazy drunken eyes, smiled confusedly, and said this, but he didn't have much respect for Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian didn't take it seriously either. Alchemists never judge their status based on their cultivation. The other party used to be a junior alchemist. This status is much more popular in Lingxiao Palace than him as a foundation-building monk. "Of course I'm not here to find you."
Alchemist, although I don’t know what happened to you, I don’t want to care about it. However, I’m afraid that since you can no longer refine the elixir, do you have any thoughts of selling the alchemy furnace?”
"I want my alchemy furnace, dream!" Hearing Lu Xiaotian's words, Zhang Yang stood up and shouted loudly, then poured the wine bottle into his mouth, but failed to pour out even a drop of wine, Zhang Yang grabbed it in his hand
The wine flask was shaken a few times, but it was empty, so of course there was no sound. So he shouted, "Man, hurry up, give me some wine."
A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper, in the middle of Qi refining, walked to the restaurant and bowed to Lu Xiaotian first, then looked at Zhang Yang with a bad expression and said, "Zhang Daoyou, you owe me thirty-seven low-grade spiritual stones on credit."
.The shop is run on a small budget, do you think you should settle the account first?"
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay you back for the drinks?" Zhang Yang was furious when he heard this.
"I don't dare to question Daoyou Zhang like this, but the store really can't afford credit. Since Daoyou Zhang can afford it, please settle the previous account first." The middle-aged shopkeeper said in a calm tone.
Zhang Yang reached out and looked into the storage bag. It was empty. Even some alchemy materials had been sold out. He couldn't help but sit back slumped.
"Here are forty spiritual stones. The extra few will be used to make some wine for him." Lu Xiaotian placed forty low-grade spiritual stones on the table.
"Yes, I must respect senior's instructions." The middle-aged shopkeeper quickly said humbly, secretly thinking that he didn't know what the relationship between senior Zhuqi in front of him and Zhang Yang was. Fortunately, he was polite to Zhang Yang before, otherwise if he was killed by this Zhuqi
He couldn't afford to take the blame from his seniors.
Lu Xiaotian nodded, got up and walked downstairs.
"Friend Taoist, please wait!"
"Have you figured it out?" Lu Xiaotian stopped. He put down dozens of spiritual stones just now because he naturally wanted to favor Zhang Yang, but he didn't hold out much hope. Seeing that Zhang Yang's attitude had relaxed a little, he naturally felt a little
Happy.
"This is not the place to talk. Fellow Taoist, please come with me." Zhang Yang sighed and led Lu Xiaotian directly out of the restaurant, turned a few corners, and came to a small dilapidated courtyard.
There is still some smell of spent elixirs remaining in the courtyard, ranging from Peiyuan Dan to Vitality Dan.
"What do you think of my alchemy furnace?" Zhang Yang took out a black jade-like elixir furnace from his storage bag.
"An alchemy furnace made of Haolong Stone? With your level as a junior alchemist, there is no reason why you can't refine elixirs with such a good alchemy furnace." A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Xiaotian's face. This kind of alchemy furnace is extremely rare.
It is the best among alchemy furnaces.
"With my normal level of alchemy, there is absolutely no problem in refining the elixir. But in order to obtain this alchemy furnace, I spent nearly five years. I finally got this furnace, but I accidentally got it.
After plotting, being chased by the opponent, escaping into a thousand-year ice cave, my lungs were frostbitten, and now my sensitivity to firepower has been reduced to the extreme. After a while, I may lose my sensitivity completely." Zhang Yang said with a face.
There is a hint of hatred and pain in it.
Lu Xiaotian was speechless for a while. An alchemist who lost his ability to sense firepower would be worse than an alchemist.
Zhang Yang said bitterly, "If you can swear a poisonous oath to kill that person for me, I will give you this alchemy furnace for free, without taking a penny. And I will give it to you now."
"I can't agree to your request. In fact, I don't really need your alchemy furnace. After spending some time, I can definitely find some refining materials and have someone build one for me." Lu Xiaotian shrugged.
, Although Zhang Yang's experience was unfortunate, he was not such a nosy person. He was never soft on his enemies, but he would not easily kill a whole family of people just for an alchemy furnace.
"You don't want to know who your opponent is. The opponent is just a cultivating family in the Qi-refining stage of a secular country. With your strength, you can destroy the opponent with just a raise of your hands." Zhang Yang said quickly.
"I am not a person with a strong sense of justice, and I don't want to get involved in such grudges that have nothing to do with me. There is nothing I can do to help you with your request." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and started to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Yang shouted from behind.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Xiaotian said with a frown.
"Then let's change the deal. I was originally from the Yue Kingdom. I left my hometown after embarking on the path of cultivating immortals. It's been more than forty years ago. I originally had a son. If you can go to the Yue Kingdom, come and see me.
Do you have any descendants of Linggen at home? If so, take them back to Lingxiao Palace and accept them as your disciples so that they can be taken care of. I can also give you this pill furnace." Zhang Yang suddenly lost his temper and said.
"What if your family is unwilling? You have experienced it yourself, the road to immortality is not easy." Lu Xiaotian said, he was not willing to do things that were difficult for others.
"Let it go. If they don't want to, forget it." Zhang Yang sighed.
"Why don't you do this yourself?"
"The cold air has penetrated into my internal organs, and there is no cure. Even if there is, I don't have the ability now." Zhang Yang smiled bitterly.
"If they have spiritual roots, I can take them to Lingxiao Palace, or let them practice on the mountain peak where I am, but I don't plan to accept disciples yet, please think about it." Lu Xiaotian thought about it in his heart, and went out to practice this time.
For the mission, the nearby and more lively places have been selected by the team of monks in front. There are still some remote places left. The Yue Kingdom mentioned by Zhang Yang is close to the Beiliang Kingdom. It is not too troublesome to go there.
"Okay, okay. Being able to get Gu Fu from a foundation-building monk is considered a blessing." Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand, and the black alchemy furnace floated in front of Lu Xiaotian, "If you agree straight away, I will feel a little better.
Doubt, at least it seems that you are a man of your word, and I will leave my funeral affairs to you."
It turned out that the previous one was just a temptation. Lu Xiaotian smiled when he heard this. Of course, if he agreed directly, this kind of temptation might not be a temptation. For this person who wanted revenge most, he still wanted to entrust the funeral. It was none of his business, so Lu Xiaotian took the pill
He left directly behind the stove.
Qingyue Peak is located in the northeast corner of Qinglian Peak Domain. It is relatively remote and has a moderate distribution of spiritual energy. In fact, Lu Xiaotian does not have many requirements for the richness of spiritual energy. The spiritual power he needs for practice basically comes directly from the absorption pill.
Obtained from the medicine. After all, with his qualifications, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy directly from the air is too slow. At this speed, it is estimated that he will have to wait until the year of the monkey to reach the next level of cultivation.
But at this time, at the foot of Qingyue Peak, there was a young disciple who was guarding there respectfully. Lu Xiaotian, who was flying with a sword in the air, looked familiar. He landed. At first glance, he suddenly looked like the person he met when he was a handyman.
He took good care of Luo Kang. Next to Luo Kang, there was a young girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was also a young girl.
"Lu, Uncle Lu!" Luo Kang saw Lu Xiaotian's face was happy at first, and then he saluted quickly.
"Why are you here? Who is this?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"This is our cousin, He Liping. Yes, I want to send her to take care of Uncle Lu. She can take care of Uncle Lu's food and daily life. She can also do odd jobs or whatever." Luo Kang looked at Lu Xiaotian flatteringly and said.
