Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 67 Eight Years
Zhou Lie's childhood was peaceful and peaceful.

In that year, he became a disciple of alchemist Chen in the medicine house, and since then the road of alchemy has begun.

The road to growth is always a little bit harder.

On the East Ninth District, the sun is very beautiful, he is not afraid at all, and he never tires of it, digging the soil and pulling weeds.

Planting spirit grass is really interesting. He can't get tired of watching it take root and sprout and harvest when it is mature.

What is boring is the knowledge of pharmacology.

That thing is like a heavenly book, sometimes he can get some useful knowledge only when he has to think about it.

Despite the distress, he still studied hard.

A qualified alchemist can overcome all hardships.

What he likes most is in the quiet night, with the glowing fire rising from his hand, while watching the teacher practice the sword there, he is proficient in the eight fire control techniques.

The teacher's swordsmanship is very simple, there is only one sword, but it is very imposing, he once asked, is the sword intent to cut down the stars.

cut star.

This is something that even the immortals can't do.

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

There was one more, and he was grateful.

Uncle?

No, he likes to call her "teacher's wife". Like the teacher, she accompanied him throughout his childhood, added clothes for him, cooked for him, and devoted himself to basic necessities of life.

The stove in the Temple of Heavenly Kings carried all the warmth of his childhood. The teacher, his wife, and him, like a family of three, lived a peaceful life of mortals.

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

Time passes by little by little, leaving many traces.

If you want to divide this period of time, it is eight years.

"I've grown into a young man."

Looking at Zhou Lie, Chen Sheng felt the speed of time more and more. It was a small one when it came, but now it is a tall and straight boy.

"Warm and moist as jade, body like a bosom fragrance, already has the charm of an alchemist."

Luzhu nodded slightly, Zhou Lie had a certain aura from the alchemist in Yaolu, his face was like a crown of jade, his body was tall and straight, and there was a sense of gentleness.

Among them, there is Chen Sheng's contribution, but also her contribution.

"Master, I haven't opened the furnace to make alchemy yet."

Zhou Lie called it very fluently, and he has been calling it that way for three years since the stove was built.

A real alchemist is one who has successfully made alchemy in a furnace.

In this regard, he has been suppressed by the teacher and refused to let go, so he can only firmly lay the foundation of alchemy.

Therefore, every once in a while, he will secretly test the teacher, whether he can let go of this opening.

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

Chen Sheng automatically ignored the title of "Master's Wife". Over the years, he couldn't change Zhou Lie's title, so he simply followed suit.

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

A person's immortality is doomed to be lonely, but love is true and cannot be abandoned, only let nature take its course.

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

After a few years, the little guy's alchemy foundation has been laid very firmly, and he can transform from an alchemy apprentice to an alchemist.

"real?!"

Zhou Lie didn't expect that the surprise came so suddenly, this time the teacher actually agreed for him to embark on the road of alchemy.

"Silly boy, will your teacher lie to you?"

Green Pearl said with a smile.

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

Beishan party.

This is a small gathering in the outer gate, which occurs on the fifteenth day of every month for one day. Most of the stalls are alchemists, but there are also ordinary immortal cultivators who sell their treasures.

Chen Sheng has come to the Beishan gathering several times to pick some precious spiritual herbs, and he has gained a lot.

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

"There is such a place at the outer door."

Zhou Lie found it very novel. He was very familiar with the Twelfth Hall of Medicine Cottage and the East Ninth District where spiritual herbs were planted, but no matter how many places there were, they were very unfamiliar.

The main reason is that he is very interested in Dan Dao's stuff, but he is not interested in the rest.

This Beishan gathering is undoubtedly in line with his interests, but it is the first time he has heard of it and has never been to it.

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

Chen Sheng said carefully.

The people gathered in Beishan are all immortal cultivators of Guangxiu Immortal Sect, but don’t think that if you have a fellowship, you won’t be slaughtered. When you meet raw melon eggs, veterans will not be soft-hearted. A few years of practice is enough up.

This time, if he hadn't led him, some people with bad thoughts would have stepped forward to teach Zhou Lie.

"The world of cultivating immortals is mostly cunning."

Zhou Lie has a feeling of seeing the true face of the world.

For eight years, he practiced with his teacher, and everything he saw was clean and clear, but he forgot that the world of cultivating immortals is cruel.

Even the Zhou family he was born in, a small cultivating family, had seen some bad things when he was a child, and the huge Guangxiu Xianzong was naturally even worse.

"Perseverance is hard, but depravity is easy, especially in the world of cultivating immortals where big fists make sense."

Chen Sheng spoke out the essence of the world. It is reasonable to be depraved, but it is the most rare thing to be able to maintain one's nature and insist on one's self in the midst of catastrophe.

Cultivate the Tao and cultivate the mind.

This is a code of his ego.

An alchemist of Chen Sheng's level is naturally not unknown at the party, and many stall owners know him.

"Master Chen!"

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

His stall was very large, and he was extremely rich in spiritual grass and other cultivation materials. It could be seen that he was a businessman with a strong foundation.

"Staller Lin, do you have an alchemy furnace?"

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

Based on a chance encounter, he leaned over and glanced at the booth, but he didn't see the alchemy furnace, so he asked directly.

Beishan Gathering, these powerful stall owners have good things, but they may not be revealed.

"Alchemy furnace? Yes."

The stall owner Lin removed a piece of wood that was pressed under the stall, and found a small alchemy furnace from the objects inside.

This alchemy furnace is simple and atmospheric, with a faint light in the pure black, and the word "Xuance" is engraved on the body, full of aura.

"Buzz!"

Chen Sheng took the Xuan Ce Furnace, a ray of magic power penetrated into the body of the device, and walked around very smoothly without any stagnation.

Stimulated by this, the alchemy furnace revived, with a faint light shining, and the aura of the furnace mouth lingered, like a huge mouth of an abyss, capable of swallowing materials from all directions.

"How is it? I will take it out only when you are here, Alchemist Chen. After all, you are a person who knows the goods."

The stall owner Lin is very confident in this alchemy furnace. This is not a new furnace, but has been cultivated by an alchemist for decades, and it has a rare aura of alchemy.

It is Chen Sheng who is a senior alchemist, he is willing to take it out, hoping to gain a little friendship.

If it were someone else, probably an ordinary alchemy furnace would have been sent away.

"Like it."

Although Chen Sheng thought this alchemy furnace was very good, he didn't express his opinion, but let Zhou Lie make the decision.

The alchemy furnace is similar to the sword in the hands of the alchemist. If the alchemist thinks it is not good, then even if 1 others are optimistic about it, it is useless.

"like."

Zhou Lie still has good eyesight, and he also took a fancy to Xuan Ce Furnace. At this time, when the teacher said, he was not half unwilling, but he was completely satisfied.

"Things are good things, let's make an offer."

In this case, Chen Sheng was relieved, he put down the Xuan Ce furnace, and negotiated the price with the stall owner Lin.

"Whether it's money or not, alchemist Chen can just take it away if he likes."

The stall owner Lin waved his hand with great pride. If he could exchange Chen Sheng's favor with this, it would be worth it.

"If you don't come here, let's make an offer."

Chen Sheng remained unmoved, the debt of favor was even harder to repay, and the free one was the most expensive.

He would rather pay a big price to buy the Xuan Ce stove than be tricked in the future and have to swallow the bitter fruit happily.

"Three superb spirit stones."

Hearing this, stall owner Lin was slightly disappointed. Chen Sheng is the top alchemist in the medicine hut. With favors in his hands, he can leverage benefits that are worth a hundred times the value of Xuan Ce's furnace with just a change of hand.

However, Xuan Ce Furnace itself can be sold for profit. He put his mentality in order, and still said the price with a smile on his face.

"Row."

Chen Sheng had no objection and agreed directly.

The things are really good, worth the price, and his more than [-] years of alchemy career has really accumulated a lot of cultivation resources.

During this period, Chen Ergou also brought supplies to him, and even Elder Fuyunzi gave him at regular intervals.

In short, his worth is in the Qi Refining Realm, which belongs to the level envied by others.

"This hairpin, the girl has taken a fancy to it."

The stall owner Lin has sharp eyes and a delicate mind. He saw Lu Zhu's eyes and glanced twice in front of a hairpin.

Looking at the hairpin again, it was shaped like a flying phoenix, embellished with golden flowers, and the workmanship was ingenious.

"It's a bit eye-catching."

Lu Zhu was indeed a little interested in this flying phoenix hairpin, but it was not strong enough, so she didn't take it directly just now.

"There is also a price for hairpins."

Chen Sheng said casually.

The relationship between the two has surpassed ordinary friendship, and there is really no need to think too much about a hairpin.

"Two superb spirit stones."

The stall owner Lin stretched out two fingers and smiled. Although he didn't get a favor from Chen Sheng, the two big orders were enough to last him for a month or two.

"Give."

Chen Sheng felt that it was worth it to use two top-quality spirit stones to buy an item that Lvzhu thought was suitable for his eyes.

As a result, Luzhu and Zhou Lie were delighted to have obtained their beloved.

"Put it on, why did you take it off again?"

Chen Sheng discovered a detail, Lvzhu put the Feifeng hairpin on it, looking around, his eyebrows were beaming, and he liked it very much.

However, after a while, it was taken down, put into a storage bag, and sealed away.

"What if it was stolen?"

Green Pearl said seriously.

"how come."

Chen Sheng couldn't get his mind off it. Don't look at Luzhu cooking and cooking, he is also a foundation-building monk.

In the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, it is also one of the best, and the small families in the outside world can be called the ancestors.

Whoever is full, dares to stroke her beard and steal a hairpin worth three top-grade spirit stones.

"What if."

Luzhu insisted on her own opinion. This was the first item Chen Sheng gave her, and it was a hairpin from a woman's family.

"Tsk tsk..."

Zhou Lie held the alchemy furnace with both hands, and loved it very much, but seeing this scene, he was still a little sour.

There is a slight reason why he called his uncle his wife.

Between the two, sometimes subconscious things make the third person feel the spiritual weirdness.

……

"Come to Chenguang Palace, I have something to tell."

After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Kings, a servant came to report that alchemist Xi Fu from Chenguang Palace had an invitation to come over.

"What's the matter?"

Over the years, Chen Sheng's relationship with the three old men was still close, but it was mostly just reminiscing about the old days, and it just passed away because of the excitement.

This was the first time he sent someone to look for him like this, and he felt that there must be something wrong.

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

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

The three of them are really old, with gray hair and stooped waists, but they are very peaceful in mind, and sometimes they can be heard talking and joking, calling themselves "bad old men".

The three gathered in a group, very friendly, at this age, there is not much to fight about.

Boil time, when to go, is possible.

"Brother Chen is here."

Xi Fu saw it, and Chen Sheng's figure appeared. The years seemed to have left no obvious marks on the other party, but there was a touch of depth in his eyes.

"But what happened?"

As soon as Chen Sheng came, he saw three old men with great kindness in his alchemy, gathered together, and his heart couldn't stay still.

All three of them were shocked, and the matter was definitely not small.

"Old Shen, I'm going to the inner gate."

Xi Fu told the reason, and it was true that something big happened, and the whole medicine house was shaken.

Elder Shen's prestige is extremely high in the medicine hut, and his presence is like a needle for calming the sea, making people's hearts stable and not fluctuating.

Now that this person is going to enter the inner sect, it really makes people feel dazed for a while.

However, this was an opportunity for Chen Sheng. With Elder Shen gone, the position of Elder Yaolu was left vacant.

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

"Mr. Shen has a favorite for his successor."

Chen Sheng asked the most important question.

Elder Shen hasn't left yet, so his opinion is not unimportant, even the people above will consider it carefully after seeing his strong recommendation.

"No, so you have a great chance."

Xi Fu shook his head. Elder Shen didn't leave any inheritance, and he was very fair in dealing with people.

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

In the past 30 years, Chen Sheng has been the most popular alchemist in the outer sect, and his first-hand alchemy is recognized by Yaolu as powerful.

There are also the three old guys, working hard in the back, whether it is ability or connections, they are all directly full, so I don't believe that they will fail the ranking.

"The critical moment has come."

Danshi Ding cared more than Chen Sheng. He had waited 28 years for this moment, so he should be satisfied.

"Besides us, you also used your available connections to start writing letters of recommendation."

The promotion process of Yaolu elders is the same as that of Yaolu deacons. If no one recommends them, it is useless if they are capable enough.

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

"it is good."

Chen Sheng nodded.
