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

Chapter 216 Even worse

No wonder they care about this, the quota is very important, and it is closely related to Fentian Valley.

Although Lu Changsheng is quite talented in alchemy, his future is extremely limited, and taking this spot is a waste.

In comparison, the inheritance left by Master Baiyun is not that important.

Seeing that several people had objections, Xiao Feng also felt a little hesitation in his heart.

Besides, it only took a few years for Baiyun Pavilion to be established, and it would not be good to have differences with the people in front of me now, so I could only give up for the time being.

When the three of them saw that Xiao Feng's expression was a little bad, they all took a step back.

"It's still a long time, and we don't have to rush. Zhou Lin has just entered the seventh level of Qi training a few years ago. Whether it is alchemy or cultivation, reaching the second level cannot be done in a short time. This We can also observe Fellow Daoist Lu carefully when the time comes, and it won’t be too late to mention this matter again then,” one person said.

This proposal ends here.

After returning to the courtyard, Xiao Feng saw a woman walking out of the house. Even though she was wearing a loose robe, she could still see a slight bulge in her abdomen.

"If you don't take a good rest, what are you doing out here?" A trace of tenderness appeared on Xiao Feng's rough face.

The woman is his Taoist companion Liu Yunxi, with whom he has a deep relationship.

"Come out and walk around. The baby in your belly likes to be quiet. If I don't walk around more, he won't want to move anymore." Liu Yunxi said with a smile, his face a little pale.

Xiao Feng helped her sit down, feeling full of gratitude.

When he and Liu Yunxi met, the other person was still a secular eldest lady, and he was just a martial artist with some success in martial arts.

From acquaintance to mutual understanding, they experienced a lot of hardships. It was not until his cultivation broke through the middle stage of Qi training that their lives became stable.

Then, have children.

However, what I didn't expect was that Liu Yunxi was in many dangers when she was wandering in the Guangnan region, leaving Liu Yunxi with the root of the disease that was difficult to reconcile. Normally, it would not be a serious problem, but when she became pregnant, the root of the disease was revealed. .

The child in his belly was only more than three months old and needed to be nursed back to health with elixirs every day. If it was close to giving birth, he couldn't imagine what it would be like.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng already made a decision in his heart. If that time really comes, he will give up the child even if it makes his wife unhappy.

"Husband, are you worried about the real person's seed?" Liu Yunxi saw the worry in Xiao Feng's eyebrows and asked involuntarily.

My husband is not good at hiding his emotions, otherwise, Liu Jiu and the others would not have planned a gambling fight.

"Yes, although the talents we selected are good, they are far behind Zhou Lin."

Xiao Feng told what happened today.

Liu Yunxi said: "It's normal. The people you selected are more or less related to the three of them. Now that you want to bring Master Lu in, it will definitely put some pressure on them."

Xiao Feng knew that those three people were more flexible than himself, and the selected people also formed close relationships with them.

However, he believed that this matter was innocuous. As long as their lineage obtained the final spot, it would be victory.

At that time, while he could breathe out, he could also take the opportunity to ask for elixirs from Fentian Valley.

Liu Yunxi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Husband, sometimes it is difficult to control and predict the human heart. Everyone wants to get the most."

"The three of them have invested too much in those three people. If we change the target now, we will get less in the end. After all, you are the one who brought Master Lu over. If it happens, the one who will benefit the most is You."

Liu Yunxi knew that Xiao Feng didn't like this kind of mutual criticism, so he turned around and said: "However, the concerns of the three of them are not unreasonable. Master Lu's flaws are indeed not small. The Immortal Spiritual Root is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. "

Xiao Feng said with some distress: "Then how do you think we should solve it?"

"Isn't the solution already decided? It's just more observation. However, husband, it's better to go over and remind Master Lu. I don't think Master Lu is a high-profile person. If you choose to hide your clumsiness, the competition for the quota will be We lost from the start."

Xiao Feng nodded, chatted with Liu Yunxi for a while, and then brought the news to Lu Changsheng.

Of course, he didn't explain the matter clearly, but just told Lu Changsheng to behave well.

After all, the matter of quotas is of great importance. If word spreads and someone is interested in it, Immortal Sect forces such as Taixuan Sect will be personally punished.

······

"You want me to behave well?" As soon as Xiao Feng left, Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought.

Xiao Feng's words were obviously not without purpose.

The possibility of the other party drawing a cake for him is not high. After all, if you draw a cake in the spirit world, you may get stabbed.

If he were an insignificant person, Xiao Feng would naturally not have any scruples about painting cakes, but his current strength and connections cannot be ignored.

Then there must be some intention, but it's hard to say clearly.

At this time, he thought of the 'real person seeds' that Huo Zun and the others talked about, and thought that this was the only way Xiao Feng could be so interested in it.

Lu Changsheng wrote down this matter, and then the next day he began to learn a lot of information about Baiyun Pavilion with Huo Zun and the others.

"There are currently four elders in Baiyun Pavilion. Three of the elders, including Xiao Feng, all learned alchemy skills. Therefore, the first Baiyun Pavilion also focused on alchemy."

After understanding it, Lu Changsheng made a careful judgment.

Influenced by the Taoism behind Master Baiyun, many people in the original Baiyun Cave Mansion chose Alchemy among the four arts of immortality.

Because the most complete and powerful inheritance of Master Baiyun is mainly the Tao of Alchemy.

Of course, there are also those who learn the spirit formation, but they are relatively few.

Therefore, Baiyun Pavilion also focuses on alchemy, and its overall operation method is very similar to the previous Baiyun Pharmacy.

The difference is that because there are not enough alchemists, the way to issue tasks is not to coordinate the distribution, but to receive them yourself.

At the same time, in terms of resource quota, every time a task is completed, a certain amount of Baiyun Pavilion's contribution will be obtained.

Contributions can be exchanged for various things from Baiyun Pavilion.

Compared with Baiyun Pharmacy, where resource quotas are based on levels, the degree of freedom of this model is relatively much higher, and of course the benefits will be much worse.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't mind this, but was very satisfied.

In his current state, he doesn't need much time to devote to practice. He only needs to take care of the practice of a few spells every day.

In the days that followed, Lu Changsheng's purpose was very clear, which was to receive the alchemy task and accumulate contributions.

As a former second-class alchemy master, his status was naturally different from that of ordinary alchemy masters. He asked the steward of Baiyun Pavilion to bring over a task list, and then ticked off several refining tasks for high-quality elixirs.

Within a month, the refined elixir was handed over.

Choosing the method of refining the elixir task allows him to focus on the elixir he wants to improve.

For example, Guiyuan Pill, Soul Gathering Pill, and Diamond Pill.

Among them, Guiyuan Pill is the top priority. As long as the mission of this pill appears, he will definitely receive it. In addition to completing the alchemy task of Baiyun Pavilion, he occasionally helped the Fang family and other companies to refine elixirs.

And get a lot of profit from it.

Lu Changsheng would get a commission for helping to refine the elixir. If the elixir was completed, some of the elixirs would be extracted as a reward. If the elixir was not completed, the remaining materials would be collected.

This is also the unspoken rule that many alchemists default to.

Compared to making talismans, as long as a monk in alchemy can reach a certain level, the speed at which he can earn spiritual stones is definitely second to none.

Unfortunately, the conditions required for alchemy are too high.

Under the planned improvement, the state of several elixirs that Lu Changsheng cared about were rapidly improving. Half a year later, Guiyuan Dan officially entered the state of small success. When refining this elixir, Lu Changsheng also completely got rid of it. Possible losses.

When refining entry-level elixirs, there is a high probability that they will suffer losses. This is why many alchemists do not want to face new elixirs.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng has a solid foundation in alchemy. The tortoise shell diagram of the Black Turtle Alchemist and the large collection of alchemy jade books have allowed him to almost reach the extreme level of first-grade alchemy.

Therefore, when learning and comprehending new alchemy formulas, he is faster than ordinary second-class alchemy masters.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is Alchemy talent.

Lu Changsheng's alchemy talent was not low to begin with. Now, more than twenty years later, his talent has improved by several points, and his alchemy talent also seems to have a breakthrough.

"Every time the Immortal Dao Root Bone is improved a little, other talents will be improved accordingly. After more than 20 years, my overall talents will be improved to a higher level."

"At that time, the alchemy talent will be even more terrifying."

Lu Changsheng was looking forward to it.

Another point is the elixir-raising method. This method also has certain benefits in improving the probability of elixir formation, but compared to improving the quality of the elixir, this aspect is not very obvious.

The improvement of Guiyuan Pill made Lu Changsheng more at home, and his monthly contribution was increasing rapidly.

In just half a year, there is a tendency to catch up with those alchemists who have accumulated years of experience.

Soon, this performance alarmed some people.

"The speed at which Alchemist Lu has accumulated his contributions is really exaggerated." In the management office, an old monk was sorting out a thick stack of registration books in front of him.

This is something they have to do every month. At that time, these things will be collected and handed over to Baiyun Pavilion for approval by Elder Li and others.

A middle-aged female cultivator next to her nodded, agreeing with what he said.

"The first two months were relatively normal, but in these two months, the frequency of completing tasks has suddenly increased a lot."

Behind the two of them, a monk in charge of recording exclaimed.

Registration, record analysis, and then submission to the elders of Baiyun Pavilion for approval, every step of the process is indispensable.

As a person who records and analyzes, he understands the changes of each alchemist more clearly than the stewards.

In the booklet he held in his hand, there were currently two pages of descriptions, both about Lu Changsheng.

It clearly records Lu Changsheng's completion of tasks in the past few months.

"How does it compare to those three?"

The middle-aged female cultivator suddenly asked.

The old monk also looked curious.

He knew who the three female cultivators were referring to. They were the geniuses recognized by Elder Li and Elder Guo. Only the three alchemists who transcended the rules of Baiyun Pavilion could each compare to the bells of Baiyun Pharmacy.

"It's more than that!" The recording monk hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

Those three people are considered to be the ones appointed by the emperor, so he can't say too much. However, Lu Changsheng's performance in the past two months is really amazing, and he can't help but comment like this.

The two stewards frowned.

"Is it possible for Master Lu to become the person appointed by the emperor?"

"It's hard to say. There's not much comparison between those three and Alchemist Lu. After all, Alchemist Lu is said to be over seventy this year, while the oldest of the three is only thirty-nine."

"If we give them thirty or forty years, then they can be compared with the current Alchemist Lu, but in such a long time, who can know how far they can go?"

"I don't think you can say that. You have to know that talent is predictable. Take the task of refining the Guiyuan Pill as an example. Master Lu's time for paying for the pill in the first two months was acceptable, but in these two months , the efficiency doubled at once, which shows that he has made a significant improvement in refining the Guiyuan Dan. Being able to improve in such a short time, this talent is obviously much better than those three people."

"Okay, someone is here. You better not say anything about this matter. The elders will make their own decision." The recording monk closed the jade book and whispered.

They are all human beings. Who knows whether Alchemist Lu's performance will attract the attention of the other three?

After saying that, he left with the jade book, and not long after, he presented it to the Baiyun Pavilion.

In the early morning of the next day, Elder Li woke up from his practice. His sword landed on the Baiyun Pavilion. He looked at the jade slips placed on the table with a trace of distress on his face.

As a cultivator, one would generally be a little displeased with such trivial matters. However, nowadays, Baiyun Pavilion is full of waste, and every elder has more or less tasks, so he can only be patient and patient.

He sat down, found the page recording Fan Shou, and looked at it carefully.

Fan Shou was his favorite, and he was the first to push Fan Shou out. Originally, he should have valued Zhong Ming, but unfortunately, Zhong Ming was devoted to cultivation and rejected the matter.

In the end, he chose Fan Shou.

"The contribution has increased by 800 points, which is good. You have worked very hard."

After reading Fan Shou's information, Elder Li nodded. After half a year, he had improved so much that he had almost reached Fan Shou's limit.

He looked at the pages of the other two people again and felt even more satisfied.

Luo Ji, whom Elder Guo favored, and Mou Ran, whom Elder He valued, were both slightly behind Fan Shou in terms of contribution improvement.

Of course, this advantage is not big. Fan Shou is a few years older than the other two. If this is taken into account, the other two will have the advantage.

"It depends on who can take the step towards the ultimate elixir faster in the future."

The three of them, including Fan Shou, only have one or two elixir recipes that have been improved to the level of great achievement, and they are still unable to refine the best elixirs.

When Elder Li mentioned the top-grade elixir, his heart suddenly moved and he found Lu Changsheng's page.

As soon as he looked at it, his eyes suddenly opened, and a trace of uncertainty appeared on his face.
