Longevity begins with Zongmen handyman

Chapter 20
evening.

"Brother An, you are here!"

In the pavilion by the Moon Lake, Wang Dazhu and Zhao Xianchuan had arrived ahead of time, and they had prepared spirit wine.

"How about it, Brother An, have you passed the examination?"

Both Wang Dazhu and Zhao Xianchuan were quite concerned.

"Yes, barely crossed the line and entered the talisman hall." Li An said.

"Great, I have also entered the Artifact Refining Hall!"

Wang Dazhu seemed extremely happy, "There are eight spirit stones per month in the Artifact Refining Hall! Moreover, that brother Yu also said, let me start with him in blacksmithing, and he will teach me to forge art in three years!"

He has light in his eyes and looks forward to the future.

In fact, Wang Dazhu is indeed very smooth, he has already practiced Qi at the fourth level, and now he enters the refining hall, and the treatment is better than Li An, and he may become a refining master in the future.

As an ordinary person, he can be regarded as doing very well in the sect.

Li An noticed that Zhao Xianchuan's expression was also good, and he couldn't help saying: "Brother Zhao, you should have succeeded too?"

"No."

Zhao Xianchuan said with a smile: "I went to the medicine hall."

The medicine hall is also one of the outer gates of the Xuanyang Sect. It is mainly responsible for collecting elixir, etc. The treatment is worse than that of marginal halls such as Ling Zhishan, but the monthly fee is only [-] yuan, and the development is limited, far inferior to the three halls. .

Seemingly understanding the doubts in Li An's heart, Zhao Xianchuan took the initiative to explain: "Three days ago, I received news from the family that my uncle was killed by the demon cultivator. At present...my father has become the head of the family."

Li An suddenly realized.

The Zhao family is a foundation-level cultivating family. Now that Zhao Xianchuan's father is in power, he can get more support from the sect's side.

This kind of incident is bad news for the whole family, but it is good news for Zhao Xianchuan.

"Brother Zhao, if I remember correctly, your family's place is not far from 'Qingyangfang City'?"

Li An continued to ask questions, Qingyangfang City is one of the three major Fangshi under Xuanyangzong, and it is an important source of Xuanyangzong's wealth.

"Yes, it's close to Qingyangfang City. My father wrote to say that the surrounding area of ​​Qingyangfang City is not peaceful recently. There are demon cultivators haunting it. There have been many incidents of killing and seizing treasures. The Xuanyangzong monk in charge of Qingyangfang City has already I have shot many times, but it has not been resolved..."

Li An nodded, the Xuanyang Sect, the Hundred Beasts Sect, and the Excalibur Sect continued to compete for the middle-grade spiritual mine, and the magic cultivator reappeared... the outside world is not peaceful.

However, Master Xuanyang of the Xuanyang Sect is in his prime, and within the next two or three hundred years, there should be no problem.

I can still do it.

"Senior Sister Xu Qiuhui successfully entered the inner sect. Now, Chen Cheng has become the Senior Senior Brother, and Mu Qingwan has become the Second Senior Sister..."

Wang Dazhu talked about other people's situation again, "Mu Qingwan has already reached the fifth level of Qi refining, and the middle-grade spirit root of Huang rank is really strong..."

"There is also gossip that the two may become Taoist couples."

There is envy in his eyes.

On the other hand, Li An understood that Mu Qingwan's normal speed should not be so fast. Behind this, there should be the help of Chen Cheng, an insider.

"Come on, drink!"

Zhao Xianchuan raised his glass sullenly.

……

The next day, Li An and the new disciples of the Futang went to the main hall of the Futang to attend a concentrated lecture.

It wasn't taught by the hall master, Guo Xiao himself. In the first class, the basics of talismans were taught by the eldest disciple Sun Lin, and in the second class, the key points of making talismans were in charge of Tan Qingxue.

Sun Lin is nearly middle-aged, already in his 40s, a first-rank top-rank talisman master, he is burly, wearing a black robe that can only be worn by formal disciples, he looks very easy-going, and has a strong affinity for people, which makes many new disciples happy. close.

Tan Qingxue usually looks more lively, but when giving lectures, she looks more serious.

Li An found that Sun Lin's lectures were mostly general, while Tan Qingxue's lectures were more attentive and asked many practical questions, but novices might not be able to understand the gold content.

"At the end of the lecture, according to the regulations of Futang, in the first three months, a senior brother and sister will be arranged to teach the new students one-on-one. If you have a senior brother or sister you like, you can choose it after communication. However, after you choose, you Two yuan will be deducted every month from the monthly case, and it will belong to the mentoring brothers and sisters."

At this time, Sun Lin suddenly smiled again.

"Brother Sun Lin, we choose you!"

The seven new disciples spoke in unison.

Tan Qingxue's face changed slightly.

She and Sun Lin have always been in a state of competition in the sect, and it is also very important to win over new disciples, but now, Sun Lin has moved ahead of schedule?
"Feng Lin!"

She was annoyed, and instantly figured it out.

Li An frowned slightly. These seven guys seemed to have been hinted at by Feng Lin...but he didn't hint at himself?

Sure enough, the poor have no human rights...

"Okay, that's it."

Sun Lin smiled and said, "Follow me, and I'll tell you some precautions for refining talismans."

Only Li An was left in the hall.

"You choose me?" Tan Qingxue looked at Li An absent-mindedly.

"select."

Li An nodded.

In fact, he really wanted to say, can't anyone choose... He doesn't lack experience in refining talismans, and he doesn't need others to teach him. These two spirit stones are too expensive!

However, Sun Lin has already excluded him from the camp, and if he rejects Tan Qingxue, he might not be in trouble in Futang.

Moreover, from Xu Qiuhui's point of view, she can only be with Tan Qingxue.

"Row,"

Tan Qingxue said: "Zhirou, take him with you for these three months."

She waved at another female disciple.

That female disciple was named Cao Zhirou, she was Tan Qingxue's confidant in Futang, although her beauty was not as good as Tan Qingxue's, she was considered above average, upon hearing that, she could only nod her head.

……

In the middle of the month, the new disciples received a low-level talisman pen and twenty low-level talisman papers.

This made Li An very happy. The talisman pen issued by Futang was slightly better than the one he used, and it was worth at least eight spirit stones!
Moreover, the one he bought from the Exchange Pavilion is almost scrapped.

Cao Zhirou did come to Li An a few times, and explained some basics of talismans to Li An very carefully. Li Jian pretended to listen carefully, but he seemed to be slow to understand and absorb. Gradually, Cao Zhirou lost interest and stopped What to do with him.

After half a month of understanding, Li An also had a preliminary understanding of the basic situation of Futang.

The whole talisman hall is headed by Elder Guo Xiao, he is a second-tier talisman master, and he is in the early stage of foundation establishment!

Secondly, there are his two disciples, Sun Lin and Tan Qingxue, Sun Lin is slightly stronger, Qi training level [-], while Tan Qingxue is Qi training level [-], both of them are first-rank top-grade talisman masters.

Elder Guo Xiao is old and his lifespan is short. In order to select the next hall master, Guo Xiao set up a test——

Whoever among the disciples of the hall of talisman can find him a second-grade longevity pill within three years will be able to obtain the inheritance of the second-level talisman—and if he gets the inheritance, the position of hall master will be guaranteed.

The second-grade longevity pill can extend the life of foundation builders by 50 years. It is a strategic item in the sect and can only be exchanged for contribution points, and cannot be bought with spirit stones.

A second-grade longevity pill requires [-] contribution points!

In order to make up enough contribution points, attracting Futang disciples is an important means.

After all, if Tan and Sun want to accumulate enough contribution points, apart from working hard to refine talismans to obtain a fixed amount of contribution points, it is very important to buy contribution points from other disciples.

Generally speaking, one spirit stone is almost equivalent to ten contribution points, but it will be more expensive if you really spend money to buy it.

And not everyone is willing to sell. Contribution points are very important among registered disciples. Contribution points are required to obtain promotion opportunities and exchange core materials.

If you want to buy [-] contribution points, you need at least two or three thousand spirit stones to pave the way...

Can be called sky-high price!

Li An calculated that unless Tan Qingxue and Sun Lin had extra support, it would be very difficult to obtain the second-grade longevity pill within three years through their own efforts!
After all, even if they are first-level top-grade talisman masters, the talisman that they can refine each month is limited. The fixed contribution points they get are about 100 points, and the extra spirit stones that can be purchased are probably only 2 or 30 points.

If you want to accumulate [-] points, it will take about six years at least.

The test Guo Xiao set up was actually a public tool for private use. While selecting the next hall master, he exploited his disciples to continue his life...

It is also enough for dogs!
……

Li An is not interested in the competition of Futang, nor does he want to attract extra attention.

Therefore, his performance in the Futang was mediocre, and the talisman making was only at the middle level of the batch of disciples who entered the Futang. He could hand in all the talismans on time every month, and he could also get some extra contribution points, but not many, so naturally he sold them to Tan Qingxue His confidant - Cao Zhirou.

In this way, his monthly allowance and extra income are about eleven or twelve yuan, but he still has to spend about seven spirit stones for self-cultivation and purchase of talisman papers every month.

……

In a blink of an eye, a year has passed.

"Twenty dollars."

On this day, Li An took an inventory of the current Lingshi balance, thinking:

"The cultivation speed of Nourishing Life and Casting Immortal Art is too slow, and it will take at least two years before the third level of Qi training is perfect."

"Water archery and light body step have been practiced to the strongest state, and it's time to practice physical skills!"

Today, Ang Lee's spirit has been improved by super-sense skills, which is far superior to ordinary people. His attacks include water archery and "flying dagger", and his actions also have light steps.

The only flaw is that the physical body is too weak.

If someone gets close, he will be at a disadvantage!

"The body is the root of the soul. In the last life, I ignored the body a lot. In this life, I have to lay a solid foundation from now on."

"Currently, the best body training method I know is the 'Iron Tree Jue'!"

Iron Tree Jue, a middle-grade Huang-rank Jue, can be tempered from skin to flesh, and from flesh to bone.

But to practice Iron Tree Jue, you need to buy a lot of auxiliary materials, such as iron sand for body training, and medicinal liquid for promoting skin and flesh recovery.

All need spirit stones.

Now... barely enough.

On the same day, he immediately left the talisman hall and went to the trading market.
