Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Half a month later, many clearing missions from the Gu family began to appear in Baijing Fairy City.

The demon disaster in Zibing Lake has begun to have an impact on surrounding towns. As the sphere of influence of Taixuan Sect, Baijing Immortal City naturally wants to eliminate such demon disasters.

Killing monsters can get rewards from Taixuan Sect, which makes many casual cultivators willing to take risks to accept tasks.

"Alchemist Lu, I wonder if those elixirs have been refined?"

Several family owners came over.

Lu Changsheng handed them the prepared elixir.

Many disciples from several families have to receive the task of clearing them out.

It takes a thousand days to keep an army, and a moment to use it.

Naturally, they want to take a share of this good opportunity.

This is the helplessness of the family disciples.

While enjoying resources, you also have to fulfill obligations.

Many of the elixirs in Lu Changsheng's hands are healing elixirs, which can give the disciples of their clan a higher chance of survival when they are exterminating monsters.

"Fellow Taoists, take care." Lu Changsheng sent them out and watched the family heads go away.

These families, except for the Qu family, basically have no outside industries. At most, they have some shops in a certain market.

For example, those medicinal fields, minerals, etc. are basically in the hands of larger families.

Even better is the industry belonging to Taixuan Sect.

Therefore, they must go all out to receive the rewards from the tasks assigned by Taixuan Sect.

"I heard that this time Taixuanmen also took out nine foundation-building pills as reward."

Lu Changsheng heard Lin Yan mention this, the Foundation Establishment Pill can only be refined by a second-grade alchemist at least.

When mentioning this matter, Lin Yan's face showed excitement and sigh.

"Teacher is a seventh-level Qi practitioner after all. It is normal to have a desire for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Unfortunately, there are too many people competing for the Foundation Establishment Pill this time."

Lu Changsheng secretly said.

Although Master Baiyun is a second-grade alchemist, he still cannot refine the foundation-building pill.

A second-grade alchemist is the minimum requirement for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. The materials used in the Foundation Establishment Pill are precious, and the probability of successful refining of an ordinary second-grade pill is too low.

Without enough materials to lay the foundation, Master Baiyun did not dare to take action easily.

Otherwise, it will really be all in vain.

Moreover, there are many monks at the ninth level of qi training in the mountain gate now. Lin Yan's strength at the seventh level of qi training still has a long way to go in the late stage of qi training. It is almost impossible to obtain it from Master Baiyun. Get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Perhaps this is why the teacher is not very concerned about this matter."

"Foundation building, it's too far away."

Lu Changsheng sighed.

······
Time passed day by day, and Lu Changsheng was immersed in practice every day.

Occasionally I also go to the teacher's place to listen to classes.

The minimum standard of Lin Yan's lecture content is already the knowledge about first-grade medium-level elixirs.

At this time, Lu Changsheng also discovered that several other people had begun to have emotional difficulties in understanding.

I know in my heart that the strength of these senior brothers in alchemy should be at the level of a small success in one or more first-grade alchemy recipes.

After careful observation several times, I judged that the senior brother should be very close to the level of mastery of a first-grade elixir recipe.

Lu Changsheng knew what he was doing, but he didn't show it too much.

During the cultivation stage, he did not intend to cause any trouble or distract himself.

"The most urgent task is to cultivate the Qi Accumulating Pill to perfection. After that, we need to upgrade our cultivation to the middle stage of Qi training and improve our own Dan Dao to the second level."

Class B has much more resources at its disposal than Class C. If Lu Changsheng wants to shorten the training process, he must obtain as many resources as possible and increase the variables.

"Resources are the most powerful variable in shortening practice time!"

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. Apart from refining elixirs and listening to lectures, he practiced cultivation every day.

Abnormal patterns.

With further investment from the three companies, Lu Changsheng's resources have also been greatly improved. He invested some of his spiritual stones in purchasing the Alchemy Jade Book, and he will gain new gains every day.

It is getting closer and closer to the completion of Qi Yun Dan.

"In less than two years, the Qi Accumulating Pill can be upgraded to the Dacheng state. If it is refined using the ascending pill method, a first-class elixir can be refined."

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but smile.

Moreover, the probability can reach more than [-]%, which is considered to have fulfilled a major condition for a second-class alchemist.

The reason why it can be so fast is one thing because there is no shortage of resources, and another thing is the improvement of the Immortal Dao roots.

Although it was only improved by 1 point, it could shorten his training time in the alchemy path and even the path of cultivation.

The improvement in cultivation gave Lu Changsheng a lot of peace of mind, but other things were not so wonderful.

First of all, Taoist Ruyi was ill and had a tendency to collapse.

Then there is Lin Yan.

For some reason, during this period, Lu Changsheng often found that Lin Yan would be in a daze, which was very unbelievable for a monk in the late stage of Qi training.

"The teacher has a physical problem."

Lu Changsheng thought.

It's not difficult to guess, but he doesn't know how big the problem is.

That night, after Lu Changsheng refined an elixir under Lin Yan's guidance, he saw Lin Yan sitting on a chair with his eyebrows drooped, as if he had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but wake him up, so he waited nearby.

After a while, Lin Yan suddenly woke up and saw Lu Changsheng standing aside. He was silent for a moment and said, "How's the alchemy going?"

"It has been refined."

Lin Yan took the elixir and discovered that the temperature of the elixir had dropped to [-]-[-].

He didn't dwell on the matter, but looked at the elixir with a hint of splendor in his eyes.

"Superior elixir?"

"Yes."

"Practice again and show me."

Lin Yan had a trace of expectation in his eyes.

He knew that Lu Changsheng could refine high-grade elixirs using the elixir-raising method, but there were some differences between the high-grade elixirs produced by the elixir-raising method and those refined under normal circumstances.

Lu Changsheng tried to make an elixir, but failed once, and succeeded again the second time.

"The success rate is good."

Lin Yan did not doze off this time. Seeing Lu Changsheng steadily put the elixir into the jade bottle, he suddenly smiled.

Lu Changsheng's alchemy techniques and even fire control have become more and more proficient, and he is even better than himself in some details.

Looking at the newly released elixir, I saw that the color inside was like silk, crystal clear, like precious jade.

This is the best of the best elixirs!
"An alchemist once said that alchemy understanding is alchemy talent. In the past, I thought it was too exaggerated, but now it seems that it makes some sense."

He suddenly felt a sense of urgency and said: "You have been my disciple for a few years, and I haven't come to your house to recognize you yet. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Lu Changsheng didn't expect the teacher to speak like this. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Teacher is welcome to come and recognize the door."

Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Early the next morning, Lu Changsheng made preparations and took Lin Yan to the Lu Mansion.

When Lin Yan arrived at the house, he didn't say much and just asked where the family members were.

Lu Changsheng answered one by one.

He knew that Lin Yan must have investigated the matter thoroughly before accepting him as his disciple, so there was nothing to hide.

Sure enough, Lin Yan just nodded, as if he already knew.

However, before leaving Lu Mansion, he said something meaningful.

"The place is not bad, but the population is a little thin." Lu Changsheng's eyes showed a strange color.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood the teacher's intention and immediately said: "Changsheng has two sons. When the disciples' cultivation level improves a little, they can be urged to marry more wives and have children to strengthen their family."

Lin Yan's expression froze slightly.

The person he was referring to was Lu Changsheng himself, but Lu Changsheng pulled his two sons out in front of him, which made him a little unhappy.

He also knew a little about Lu Changsheng's two sons. Although their character was good, their cultivation talents were much lower. It was not his wish for Lin Ruo to marry either of them.

Daughters-in-law are not as close as wives and concubines.

There is a gap in seniority.

Seeing the serious look on Lu Changsheng's face, Lin Yan didn't know if he was pretending not to know or if he really didn't know, so he simply pointed it out directly.

"Changsheng, those people are right. After all, your cultivation talent is still far behind. Although I think you have a chance to enter the foundation building level, you should be afraid of nothing."

"In case it doesn't happen, there is a family here, and I can have some hope in my heart. To tell you the truth, many casual cultivators, after realizing that there is no hope for immortality, work hard to run the family. If they can give birth to a talented person who will be overhauled, If you like it, you can also feed them back.”

"So, practice cannot be left behind, but the family cannot be ignored either."

"Some people may think that the family will be a drag, but in fact it is not the case. As long as you know the trade-offs, the benefits brought by the family are numerous."

"As long as I promote a family head to help manage the family, I can get the help of a group of monks for nothing. Isn't it more advantageous than doing it alone?"

"What the teacher said is very true."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed the case.

Families are maintained by blood, and the sacrifices required are much less than those without blood.

Many families can survive by giving more when they are making money and less or even not giving at all.

But many sects and forces can easily run into problems once they give less.

"So, you can't have fewer wives, at least seven or eight."

Lu Changsheng's expression froze.

As far as he knew, his teacher Lin Yan did have more than ten wives and concubines, which was considered rare among the monks in the late stages of Qi training.

You can have only one Taoist companion, but it all depends on your mood.

"I have a junior who is quite beautiful. He practices in the sect and has many suitors. How about you make preparations in the next two days?"

Without waiting for Lu Changsheng's response, Lin Yan said: "I also have some understanding of what happened to your Taoist companion Li Guanquan. Normally, it would be difficult for a Foundation Establishment monk to fish her out of Fuyun Mountain. However, I have One way.”

When Lin Yan said this, he stopped, turned and left.

Lu Changsheng's eyes were slightly gloomy.

Although he understood Lin Yan's approach, he couldn't accept it in his heart.

Back at Guanlan Courtyard, Lin Yan was in a bad mood and talked about this matter with Lin Yu.

Although Lin Yu didn't like Lu Changsheng, after hearing Lin Yan talk about what happened today, his views on Lu Changsheng changed a lot. And his grandfather tried his best to promote this matter, so he immediately gave up other thoughts and started thinking about this matter.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid Chang Sheng's temperament is the kind of person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. Will it make him feel uncomfortable if you say this?"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lin Yan sighed helplessly.

If Lu Changsheng was willing to do this, why would he take such a trick?
"I don't have much time. If I can't facilitate this matter, it will be even more difficult for you in the future. As for the grudge in Changsheng's heart, after I leave, if you work hard to improve, it will definitely be resolved."

Lin Yan still understood Lu Changsheng's temperament. As long as his bottom line was not involved, the problem would not be big.

······
On the other side, Lu Changsheng was also a little distressed.

If it wasn't for Pumpkin and Chang'an, he would have found an excuse to push the matter aside.

"Now that my wings are getting fuller, I can become famous even if I'm not in Baiyun Pharmacy."

This was Lu Changsheng's confidence.

But, after all, it was about pumpkin, so he couldn't be rash.

After thinking for a long time, he wanted to contact Pumpkin, but he knew that Pumpkin had wanted him to take a concubine for a long time. If he approached her, he would definitely support her.

There was no choice but to bear it alone. He thought about it until the middle of the night before Lu Changsheng made a decision.

"Chang'an and Ziyou already make me a little worried. How can I add new people?"

He had made a plan in his mind, and when the morning passed, he would find a reason to refuse the matter.

Unexpectedly, before Lu Changsheng could refuse, the blind date would fall through.

Lu Changsheng arrived at Guanlan Courtyard early in the morning. In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Yan did not show up. Only a few Lin family members received him in an elegant courtyard.

"You must be immortal, you are indeed a talented person, one of the best among people."

"Please wait a moment. My Lin Ruo was still practicing inside the door yesterday. It will take some time to come over."

Lu Changsheng didn't say much, the blind date couldn't happen overnight.

The teacher asked him to come over to meet Lin Ruo, instead of the two parties using the matchmaker's words to get engaged. It can be seen that the teacher still cares about this Lin Ruo.

Let's communicate first, cultivate feelings, and then proceed step by step to make a marriage arrangement.

Then he still has time to refuse this matter. This meeting should be regarded as giving Lin Yan face.

But not long after, his expression became a little strange.

When the time came, Lin Ruo's figure had not appeared.

This time, my heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.

However, his face did not show it, but instead looked a little gloomy.

evening.

Lu Changsheng stood up silently, and then saw the Lin family members who had been waiting outside running over with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"I'm sorry, Changsheng, Lin Ruo suddenly had something urgent and was taken back by her master. How about we set a time another day?"

Lu Changsheng raised his head and glanced up, knowing that this was a good time for a showdown, and said without any nonsense, "Since Miss Lin Ruo doesn't have this intention, why bother forcing it? I have two sons, and they are not inferior to me in talent and talent, so why not ——”

Several members of the Lin family obviously knew about the situation of Lu Changsheng's two sons and laughed dryly.

One person said: "This matter still needs to be decided by the head of the family."

Lu Changsheng nodded, turned and left.

At night, the Lin family's house was brightly lit, and Lin Yan and the older generation of the Lin family gathered here.

"Lin Ruo is so shameless. Since he agreed to this, why has he disappeared?"

"So, how do you want the other party to see my Lin family?"

"It's simply willful!"

Several uncles said angrily.

"Someone must have chewed the tongue next to her."

A female family member said.

"Now that the matter has come to this, what should we do? Continue to match up? Lin Ruo does have some cultivation talent. If we push too hard, it will be even worse."

said an old man.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Lin Yan in the main seat.

There is some complaint in my heart.

Because Lin Ruo has some talent in cultivation, she is usually favored by Lin Yan, but now that she has Master Huo's support, her temper is even greater.

Lin Yan also regretted a little, but the matter had come to this, and if he continued, Lu Changsheng might be self-defeating, so after discussing with everyone for several hours, he finally decided to do the next best thing.

"Then let Lu Changsheng say, let his descendants marry our descendants."

"The younger of his two sons has some talent for cultivation, so how about choosing him?"

"Who should we choose? Why not choose them all? We in the Lin family still have some female relatives suitable for marriage. How can one be enough?"

"Then two, but let's see which female family member is willing to marry her? Don't let things like Lin Ruo happen again."

"Don't worry, the others are not as difficult to discipline as Lin Ruona. Besides, it is their honor to be the daughter-in-law of an alchemy genius like Chang Sheng."

Soon, the Lin family selected two young and beautiful women to marry into the Lu family. (End of chapter)
