Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 58 Want to be a guest
There are guests in the courtyard today.

In the living room, Su Yi and a man wearing Su family clothes from Jinfeng Valley were seated separately. Shao Juan served the two men tea and left.

This man Su Yi had met before. He was one of the people who sent Xiao Su to learn skills in the first place. He was also a direct member of the Su family.

Because Su Yi was interested in making a deal with the Su family, and the recent insect demon incident had made people panic, Su Yi didn't want to spend much time outside.

It coincided with the holding of the annual trade fair in Fang City, and the Su family of Jinfenggu was now mining to make a living, so there was naturally ore to sell.

Su Yi expected that the Su family would send someone to the trade fair, so he arranged for Huzi to wait at the entrance of the trade fair. When he saw someone from the Su family, he asked the person in charge to come over and talk.

Each cultivator family has its own costumes, so Huzi would not admit his mistake, and indeed invited the head of the Su family over.

The visitor from the Su family first expressed his gratitude to Su Yi, thanking him for raising Xiao Su well.

Although it was just a transaction between the two parties at the beginning, and there was no talk of thanking or thanking him, everyone knew that it was beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with a top-notch alchemist.

Su Yi accepted the other party's thanks calmly. Sometimes it is true that "people are in the world and can't help themselves."

If he didn't have the skills to refine the best elixirs, then I'm afraid he would have died on the roadside, and no one in the Su family would have given him a second glance.

But now, even if he pretends that he wants to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the other person, the other person will find it unnatural.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to use the name of a top alchemist and behave like a top alchemist, so that the other party will feel that this is the way it should be.

Besides, Su Yi is really good to Xiao Su, and he is also very attentive in teaching alchemy.

Su Yi first asked how Xiao Su was doing now?
The other party bluntly said that Xiao Su was now being trained as the successor of the Su family's elixir elder. When the "old man" retired, Xiao Su would take over.

Su Yi knew that the phenomenon of "ranking based on seniority" was quite common in the family, and no matter how capable he was, he still had to endure it if he wanted to get ahead.

Then Su Yi asked a few more questions about the current situation of Su Lihua and Lu Guangtian. It had been more than a month since they went to Su's house.

After chatting for a while, the person from the Su family finally asked Su Yi why he came to see him today.

He knew that Su Yi would not come to him for no reason, but Su Yi didn't speak directly first, so in the end it was him who asked first.

After hearing this, Su Yi put on an inscrutable expression, "It's natural that labor brings good things. Let me show you something first. If you are interested after reading it, we can continue the conversation."

After saying that, Su Yi touched the storage bracelet, and an earthy-yellow, round pill appeared in his hand, "You must recognize this thing."

"Whoa!"

The visitor from the Su family stood up the moment he saw the elixir in Su Yi's hand. Due to the large range of movement, he accidentally knocked over the tea bowl.

At the same time, the man also noticed his gaffe, and slowly sat down again, but his eyes kept staring at Su Yi's hands.

How could he not recognize the thing in the other person's hand? Isn't it the Foundation Establishment Pill that he thinks about day and night?
I think he has been trapped in the ninth level of Qi training for more than ten years. He really dreams of successfully building the foundation, but he has no control over it, and he has never been able to successfully build the foundation naturally.

As early as a few years ago, he had already been bearish, what is important is that it is better to take the foundation building pill as soon as possible to add a hundred years of life.

But, it’s not that easy!
Nowadays, the Su family is weak and can only make limited contributions to the Luoxia Sect, so they will not be able to get a Foundation Building Pill for many years.

Even the head of the family built the foundation back then. It took many years of accumulation and he gave up a lot of family wealth to barely get three foundation-building pills together, and finally succeeded in building the foundation.

Although he himself is a direct descendant of the family, his family's current strength is limited. Even if he wants to try his best, it will be difficult to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now, the other party actually took out the Foundation Establishment Pill!
What does he mean?What does he want?
At this moment, the man's thoughts had changed thousands of times.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of what Su Yi wanted. "Su... Great Alchemist Su, the thing in your hand is the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Exactly this!" Su Yi smiled, "After all, I come from the Su family in Jinfeng Valley. You should just call me Brother Yi like before."

Now that he was about to formally negotiate a deal with the other party, he had to put his foot down. "The world is not about fighting and killing," it is more about human relations.

What Su Yi took out was a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill with one pill pattern.

For an absolute rarity like the Foundation Establishment Pill, the inferior quality is shocking enough.

"Then how can it be, you are now a master of Dan Dao, and you can call him Brother Yi..."

The man wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Su Yi, "It doesn't matter. Calling 'Brother Yi' makes us feel closer."

Seeing this, the man stopped insisting, "Then I'll call you like I did when I was a child, Brother Yi, what do you mean by taking out this Foundation Establishment Pill..."

Even though that man was also a shrewd and capable person who had been doing things for the family all year round, the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill was too great after all, so he couldn't say a few words and brought the topic back.

At this point, Su Yi pretended to be worried, "Actually, I invited you here today because I have the idea of ​​returning to the Su family, but I don't know if the Su family still accepts me."

Su Yi did not directly discuss the transaction of "Chongyuan Soil" with the other party. He still understood the principle that demand determines value. A bottle of water in the desert can be worth ten thousand gold.

The reason why he was beating around the bush was that he was afraid that the Jinfeng Valley Su family would raise the price too high, and he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

"Return to the Su family? This...this..." The man was immediately puzzled after hearing this. With Su Yi's reputation as the best alchemist now, not to mention the Su family, or any nearby family, as long as Su Yi spoke, he would have to Rushing for it.

"Brother Yi, may I know why?"

Su Yi listened and said: "It's actually very simple. The insect demon incident has made people panic recently. I just want to find a big tree to rely on. At least I will be familiar with it when I return to the Su family."

Although Su Yi gave an explanation, the visitor didn't actually believe it, but he wouldn't point it out.

He didn't care what Su Yi wanted, he only knew that he wanted the Foundation Establishment Pill in the opponent's hand.

Although there is only one, it is very likely that the foundation building will be successful!
"So Brother Yi, in what form do you plan to return to the Su family?"

After keeping the other party's appetite for a long time, Su Yi was finally able to say what he was thinking.

"I want to find a job as a 'guest minister' in the Su family. If the Su family agrees, this foundation-building pill in my hand will be my first contribution to the Su family."

The so-called "Ke Qing" is a very special position. A sect or family invites outsiders to serve as "one of the managers" of the sect or family.

It's just that this "manager" doesn't really manage things. He and the sect or family completely get what they need. It can be regarded as a special form of "couple".

Whatever materials the guest needs, they need to pay "money" to buy them from the family. When the family needs the guest to do something, they also have to spend "money" to ask the guest to help.

Su Yi wants to be this kind of guest, and this kind of guest usually has unique skills.

There is another kind of guest minister, those who have extremely high cultivation or strength, and their strength is their greatest asset, but this kind of guest has little to do with Su Yi.

"In exchange, I want to pick three items from the Su family's treasure house. What do you think?"

Although Su Yi asked the other party this way, he knew that the other party could not give an answer.

Sure enough, although the visitor wanted to agree immediately, he finally said, "I have to go back and ask the head of the family for instructions before I can give the answer."
