Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 9 Meeting
On the third day, Su Yi was stopped by a person on his way back after completing the transaction with Tongzhen Medicine Pavilion.

"Boss Hu, I have gathered enough money, shall I give it to you here?"

"Brother Su Suyi is joking. The accounts are only fifty spirit stones. Don't be in a hurry."

The person who stopped Su Yi was Boss Hu. Su Yi originally thought that he was trying to collect debts, but now it seemed that there was something else.

"Oh, then you are looking for me...?"

Seeing Su Yi's slightly defensive expression, Mr. Hu smiled and approached, "Hey, my Master Su, don't act like you are rejecting others from thousands of miles away. If there was anything that offended my brother in the past, , please don’t take it to heart.”

Su Yi raised his hand to signal the other party not to get too close, "Boss Hu, you have something to talk about. What do you want to do with me?"

Boss Hu paused when he saw this, "Let me tell you clearly, it's not me who wants to see you today, but someone who asked me to invite you to meet me at Xianke Tower."

Xiankelou is a restaurant in Fang City with a very high consumption standard. Most of them are wealthy monks or casual cultivators who have given up their pursuit of the avenue and live day by day.

Boss Hu didn't say clearly who wanted to see Su Yi, but Su Yi saw that the other party had a firm attitude, and there was no danger in the market, so he finally decided to go and have a look.

There were many people eating and drinking at the Xiankelou Restaurant. The cooks here were highly skilled and the diners enjoyed their meals. They were all drunk and talking loudly.

"That top-grade Bigu Pill is indeed very magical. I am lucky enough to take one. I really feel a sense of comfort within my body."

"It's true. Before I took ordinary Bigu Pills, I always felt a little congested in the abdomen. It's a huge difference to know whether there is erysipelas or not after taking the top-grade Bigu Pills."

"You guys think that Mr. Liang of the Zhenyao Pavilion is so lucky to be able to make friends with such a powerful alchemist as Master Su."

"Brother, are you exaggerating? You can only refine the Bigu Pill, so can you be called a master?"

"You don't understand this. The various arts of cultivation, especially the way of elixir, are all about accumulation. An alchemist who can refine the best Bigu Pill will not be too bad at refining other elixirs."

"That's not right. I heard that Master Na Su purchased the recipe for the Qi Transformation Pill two or three months ago, but now he has not produced the finished pill. It's not like he has exhausted his talents and only knows how to refine Bigu Pill."

"I don't think so. Master Su must have very high requirements for himself. At least he must have middle-grade or even top-grade elixirs for sale. Otherwise, he will ruin his own brand."

"Yes, yes, this brother is right. Only people like Master Su who are obsessed with alchemy can refine the best elixirs."

"Talking back to how Shopkeeper Liang met Master Su, I heard that Master Su first went to the Baodan Pavilion opposite, and only went to the Zhenyao Pavilion after being rejected."

"Hehe! You don't know about this. Although Master Su went to Baodan Pavilion, he didn't really seek cooperation. He clearly meant to demonstrate."

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"Brother, don't you know that the concubine of Zhenyao Pavilion was once a Taoist companion of Master Su?"

"Shh! Drink, drink, don't talk about personal matters..."

Su Yi and Boss Hu came to Xianke Building and took the VIP passage directly to the private room upstairs.

Entering the private room, Su Yi saw a male cultivator about 40 years old wearing white clothes sitting in the upper hand position.

Su Yi didn't recognize the man, so he looked at Boss Hu.

Boss Hu first walked quickly to the man and bowed. After receiving the signal from the other party, he stood up and introduced Su Yi: "This is Elder Bai from the Luoxia Sect's Foreign Affairs Hall."

Seeing the other party's behavior and Boss Hu's attitude when he saw the other party, Su Yi had already guessed that the other party should be from the Luoxia Sect, but he did not expect that the other party was actually an elder. He originally thought he might be an ordinary disciple.

Since he is an elder, his cultivation level must be above the level of foundation building, but it should not reach the golden elixir level.Because although the opponent's outward momentum also gives people a sense of oppression, it is not so strong that it makes people feel breathless.

Even so, Su Yi did not dare to neglect, bent down and bowed deeply: "Su Yi, a junior cultivator, has met Elder Bai."

"Sit down." Bai Xiu looked Su Yi up and down first, then motioned for him to sit down on the chair opposite.

Su Yi, who was a little worried, pulled up a chair and sat down. He regretted coming here, but he also knew that if the other party really wanted to cause trouble for him, he would have no way to escape.

He really wanted to know what the other party meant by coming to him today, but now the initiative was not in his hands, and the situation was stronger than his own, so he could only follow the other party's arrangements.

Bai Xiu ignored the slightly nervous Su Yi and raised his eyes to look at Boss Hu. Boss Hu immediately rushed out and ordered, "Serve the food."

The dishes were served on the table in an instant. The two sat across from each other, and Boss Hu was waiting to pour the wine.

The wine at Xiankelou was naturally good, but Su Yi, who was feeling uneasy, didn't taste it at all.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Bai Xiu stopped using chopsticks, took out a top-grade Bigu Pill and asked, "Did you refine this yourself?"

Su Yi nodded and admitted.

"He is quite talented, and he is considered young and promising."

"Elder Bai has won the prize."

"Are you interested in joining the Luoxia Sect? I can be your recommender." Bai Xiu suddenly said this.

Hearing this, Su Yi's heart moved. There are many benefits to joining the sect. Not only can you receive your monthly salary on time, but it is also convenient in terms of learning skills and safety.

And it sounds nice to say it out loud. Based on his status as a disciple of the Luoxia Sect, everyone in the city will respect him from now on.

However, although there are many advantages, there are also disadvantages. The most important thing is that Su Yi has too many secrets.

First of all, he has just traveled through time and his soul is not yet strong. There will definitely be some necessary checks when joining the sect, just in case it is a demon undercover. It would be bad if there is a misunderstanding.

Another Su Yi was afraid that after joining the sect, he would be detained by the sect for refining alchemy all day long. It would be terrible if the sect discovered his secret in alchemy refining.

So after thinking about it for a while, Su Yi weighed his words and refused: "Thank you, Elder Bai, for your kindness, but I'm used to being loose, and I don't plan to join the sect yet."

Bai Xiu nodded after hearing this: "Everyone has his own ambitions. I will not force you to join the sect."

"The main reason I called you here today is to talk to you about cooperation." At this point, Bai Xiu stopped and looked at Boss Hu.

"Cooperation?" Su Yi didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but before he could figure it out, Boss Hu said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Su wants to rent a courtyard in Fangshi. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

It was not a secret that Su Yi asked Liang Liping to help find the courtyard. It was normal for Boss Hu to know about it as a local snake.

Su Yi nodded, "Exactly, but there is no suitable location yet."

Mr. Hu laughed and said: "This matter is not secure, fellow Taoist, so I have taken care of it. I will let you know when it is done."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Su Yi thanked Bai Xiu and the others.

Seeing this, Bai Xiu said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I have conditions..."
