Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 10 Advanced Fire Control Technique

"Conditions..." Su Yi stood up and bowed again, "Elder Bai, please make it clear."

"Sit down, sit down, I'm not a monster, I can't eat you." Seeing Su Yi's cautious look, Bai Xiu said calmly.

"I want you to provide me with thirty top-quality Bigu Pills every month."

"Thirty pills..." Su Yiyuan thought that the other party would open his mouth, but for him, thirty pills were just a matter of refining three furnaces, so it was not difficult.

"Although I don't use this top-grade Bigu Pill myself, you also know that I have a lot of people under me. Since I want them to do things, I have to give them some benefits."

"If you want the horse to run, you have to add grass to the horse." Bai Xiu continued to add lightly.

Although he seemed to be joking and his tone was not very intense, Su Yi knew that the other party's intention was to show his power, "This area is under his control."

The so-called "goose plucking hair" means that the sect administrators use their authority to scrape some oil and water from below, and Su Yi "can accept it."

A "donor" of [-] top-quality Bigu Pills every month in exchange for the status of "one of your own" is generally a good deal.

If you can't be "one of your own", you will become an "outsider". The difference between this plus and one minus is huge, and you are afraid that the other party will slip into your shoes.

After thinking everything through, Su Yi stood up again, "Elder Bai takes good care of his subordinates, which is admirable. I will definitely provide the required Bigu Pills on time to show the elders' compassion for their brothers and sisters."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, you are one of our own, you don't need to be so polite." Bai Xiu was very satisfied with Su Yi's attitude, "But I don't want to accept your filial piety. What I'm talking about with you is cooperation. What conditions do you have?" Speak up in exchange.”

Hearing this, Su Yi asked tentatively: "Didn't the elder already agree to solve the renting issue for me?"

Bai Xiu shook his head and said calmly: "That's just a trivial matter. How can it be used as an exchange for thirty Bigu Pills every month?"

"If word of this spreads, people who don't know why will think that I am using my power to suppress you. I think you should make another condition!"

After hearing this, Su Yi thought for a while and made a decision in his heart. Since Elder Bai "cherishes his reputation", he cannot break the rules.

"I wonder if the elders have some kind of skills. I can buy them at the market price or at a price slightly higher than the market price."

The four essentials of cultivation are Dharma and wealth. Dharma takes the first place. Su Yi has long wanted to find a higher-level skill to replace the longevity skill he is currently practicing.

Now that the other party asked him to put forward conditions, Su Yi gave it a try, but unfortunately the other party did not agree.

"The exercises are not good." Bai Xiu simply refused, "The exercises I learn all come from within the sect. If you don't join the Luoxia Sect, you won't be able to practice them. Even if you join the Luoxia Sect, there will be elders who teach you the skills. Any other No one should spread it privately, let alone spread it outside.”

Bai Xiu looked at Su Yi and asked him to change another condition. Su Yi thought about it in his heart and felt embarrassed, so he heard Bai Xiu speak again:

"Since you are good at alchemy and have some need for fire control techniques, I have a copy of "Advanced Fire Control Technique" here for you to see if it is suitable for you."

As he spoke, Bai Xiu touched his wrist, took out something from the storage bracelet, handed it to Boss Hu and handed it to Su Yi.

High-end storage containers can be roughly distinguished by their shapes. Generally speaking, storage bags are worse than storage bracelets, and storage bracelets are worse than storage rings.

When Su Yi saw that what the other party took out was a jade slip, he was very happy, because generally only relatively high-level exercises or spells would be recorded on jade slips.

He took the jade slip from Boss Hu, immersed himself in it, and found that what was recorded in it was "Experiences on Controlling Flames", the content of which was similar to his current understanding of fire control at the Dacheng level.

What kind of high-level fire control technique? It was clearly a person named Wu Zexi who recorded his "experience" on fire control technique. The purpose may be to pass it on to the younger generations, but somehow it fell into the hands of Elder Bai.Su Yi's expression did not change, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart. This was somewhat different from what he expected. However, when he saw what happened next, Su Yi became a little excited again. Of course, his face remained calm.

After quickly browsing the entire content, Su Yi placed the jade slip on the table, "Elder Bai, let's agree to use this "Advanced Fire Control Technique" in exchange. From now on, I will refine thirty bigu pills every month. Dan turned it in..."

When Bai Xiu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "You guys can talk about the details. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, Bai Xiu stood up and left.

Boss Hu respectfully sent Bai Xiu outside. When he came back, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on Bai Xiu's previous seat.

"Haha! I don't want Boss Hu to be so powerful in the city, but there are people who are afraid of him." Su Yi teased the other party lightly.

Boss Hu first poured a large glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, and then replied calmly: "Fellow Daoist Su, there is no need to tease me."

"We can't compare to you. You are extremely talented and have superb alchemy skills. You can negotiate terms with the elders of the Luoxia Sect."

Then Boss Hu had another drink and said, "We know in our hearts how much we weigh, and we usually act fierce just to earn a living."

He laughed at himself: "We are just a dog. People raise us just to bite people. We are just doing our duty."

Su Yi didn't want Boss Hu to act like a dog and have a sense of superiority. It's true that everyone has his own ambitions!

He didn't want to listen to the other party's nagging anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Boss Hu, starting from the first day of the new month next month, I will hand over thirty Bigu Pills on the first day of every month. What do you think?"

Boss Hu nodded while eating food and drinking: "Very good, very good. Remember to refine it in advance. Don't delay my work."

"What about my renting a house?"

At this time, Boss Hu only focused on eating and drinking, like a lingering cloud, eating most of the dishes on the table.

Su Yi knew what the other party meant, but he always held on and just watched the other party wolfing down the food.

Damn you, you guys want to pluck the hair out of my head. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?

After Boss Hu finished eating, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, poured another cup of herbal tea and drank it in one sip. Then he took out a toothpick, looked at Su Yi while picking his teeth, and said:

"Renting is easy."

"Don't worry about whether you are looking for a house or not. If we, Old Hu, just walk around, we can find it."

Seeing this, Su Yi let out a long sigh, and reluctantly took out a spiritual stone and put it on the table before turning it to Boss Hu. He really answered the gossip, "The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the kid is difficult to deal with. If you don't grease it, you won't turn."

Hu Lao laughed and put the spirit stone away, "Brother Su Yi, I will take care of the renting of the house. I will ask you to live in Fangshi within three days."

Su Yi knew that people like Boss Hu had many means to make ordinary monks move, but those were beyond his control. He just warned, "Don't kill anyone."

Boss Hu waved his hand, "No, no, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you, just relax."

Next, the two settled the previous accounts, "the host and the guest had a good time" and dispersed.
