Chapter 143 Becoming the True Transmission A few days later, Lu Lingyun returned to Luoxia City. An attendant reported to her: "Lord City Lord, Guest Yu has come out of seclusion. He has successfully broken through!" "Oh, he has made a breakthrough? It's faster than I expected!" Lu Lingyun nodded with satisfaction when he heard the news. Although Yu Xiao's breakthrough speed was faster than expected, there was nothing to be surprised about. Although Yu Xiao's qualifications are mediocre. But he is hardworking and low-key. With your own cultivation, in five years at the shortest and ten years at the longest, you will reach the late stage of Qi Refining. At that time. He is only about fifty. There is still the possibility of impacting the foundation. Even though he would most likely be over 70 years old when he successfully established his foundation, because he mainly practiced wood-attributed skills and did not like to fight with others, his physical condition would age more slowly, and he would be able to maintain a good condition even when he was in his sixties or seventies.
Once the foundation is successfully established. Lifespan is at least 200 years. If Yu Xiao continues to focus on wood-based skills, he will most likely live to 240 years old, and he will have at least a hundred years to assist me in the future. A foundation-building cultivator with advanced alchemy skills may become a third-level alchemist in the future, which will be of great use to any force. A few days later. After Fu Qingfeng and several other guests congratulated Yu Xiao. Lu Lingyun personally came to Yu Xiao’s residence in Luoxia City. Although Yu Xiao has the dual identities of a deacon of Qinglan Valley and a guest of Luoxia City, his life in Luoxia City is still very monotonous. His residence is located in an inconspicuous place in the corner of Luoxia City, which is a small courtyard with two entrances surrounded by quietness. "Sister Lu, why are you here?" When Lu Lingyun came to the courtyard with his entourage. Yu Xiao was drying various herbs in the yard. When she saw this scene, a smile appeared on Lu Lingyun's lips. She remembered the days at the Chunlei Boxing Gym in Baiyunfang. She then gave a look to the maids on her left and right, who immediately handed over some packaged medicinal herbs. "Congratulations on your breakthrough. This is a small gift to help you consolidate your realm." "Thank you, senior sister!" Yu Xiao gladly accepted. Lu Lingyun looked at Yu Xiao. She suddenly asked knowingly: "How old are you this year?" "About forty-five or forty-six." Yu Xiao wondered why Lu Lingyun suddenly asked this. Lu Lingyun showed an interested expression: "It has been nearly twenty years since you entered the sect, but your appearance has hardly changed since you were in Baiyunfang. Do you have any secret method to maintain your appearance?"
Yu Xiao's heart was slightly moved when he heard this. A monk's age cannot be judged from his appearance. Some monks who look like old men are actually only in their seventies or eighties. Some monks have practiced for hundreds or even thousands of years, but they still look like young people. Whether the cultivator looks young or not. It is related to the speed of improvement of cultivation. Yu Xiao's cultivation level improvement speed is above average and not outstanding. It is indeed extraordinary that he has maintained his appearance for twenty years. Yu Xiao used to be very low-key and few people knew him, so naturally no one cared. But with his increasing popularity in recent years and his age, it has indeed become a not-so-small loophole or trouble. of course. With Yu Xiao's style. How could I not have thought of this? He had already prepared his arguments and reasons. Yu Xiao: "I mainly practice the wood-based technique 'Qingmu Gong' which has the effect of nourishing the body and eyes. In addition, I can also refine the first-level advanced elixir, the Youth Pill, which theoretically has the effect of keeping one's appearance youthful forever." Lu Lingyun: "Can you also refine the anti-aging pill?" "Yes, two years ago, I participated in the alchemy competition in Jiuyang Mountain and won first place. This recipe is a prize given by my master." Yu Xiao explained: "Although this pill is of no help to cultivation, it is a necessity for many cultivators who pay attention to their image, so I specially studied it for a while. Unfortunately, the main ingredient of the anti-aging pill, 'Seven-Leaf Snow Lotus', is a bit difficult to find..." Alchemy skills improved. It is important to master more Dan principles. And learn different recipes for elixirs. This is an important way to collect the principles of alchemy and comprehend the mysteries of alchemy. Yu Xiao lacked everything except time, so he spent a lot of energy studying every recipe in his hands. Naturally, he would not miss out on a practical pill like the Rejuvenating Pill. after all. In the Daxia world. He also has a group of female relatives. These people will age. It is necessary to prepare the anti-aging pill in advance. If an ordinary person takes a youthful pill every ten years, he or she will not look noticeably aged even when he or she is seventy years old. Yu Xiao took out a bottle of the Rejuvenating Pill from the prepared ones: "This is the Rejuvenating Pill I made. I am just looking for an opportunity to present it to you. Please have Senior Sister Lu taste it."
Lu Lingyun opened the jade bottle. Two milky white pills appeared among them. Both of these are anti-aging pills and are of very good quality. "it is good!" Lu Lingyun was overjoyed. It’s not that I’m happy about getting two anti-aging pills. After all, although the Rejuvenating Pill is expensive, it is not difficult to obtain it with her ability. Yu Xiao can refine this kind of high value-added medicine, which is enough to become one of Luoxia City’s important industries. "The White Phoenix Jade Lotus, one of the six specialties of Fengming Mountain, can be used as the main ingredient in place of the Seven-Leaf Snow Lotus. The quality of the Rejuvenating Pill made from it will be even higher!" Lu Lingyun said: "You can refine high-quality anti-aging pills, and Luoxia City can get a large amount of white phoenix jade lotus, which is enough to create huge value." That's it! Yu Xiao did not object to this. He needs to collect the anti-aging pills. And the Rejuvenating Pill is a rather complicated high-level elixir. The requirements for alchemy are very high, and large-scale refining can be used to improve skills. In this situation, if someone provides you with materials for free to practice with, and you can also earn profits and dividends in the process, there is absolutely no reason to refuse this. Lu Lingyun became more and more satisfied with Yu Xiao. She invited Yu Xiao to Luoxia City because of their personal relationship. But his ability and talent did not disappoint. Choosing an alchemist is a big deal! The resident alchemist of any force is always a close confidant of that force who is highly tied to it. Otherwise, if the other party tampers with the elixir, it can cause huge losses to the force in an instant. The other deacons of the Medicine Refinery Pavilion have close ties with various factions, so it is difficult to use them with confidence even if they are more experienced. Yu Xiao has a clean and transparent background, never forms cliques, and is very trustworthy! Lu Lingyun not only wants to train Yu Xiao into his confidant, but also plans to make him the number one alchemist in Luoxia City... Of course, training Luoxia City's number one alchemist is by no means an easy task! from now on. We have to pave the way for Yu Xiao. This is also another important reason for Lu Lingyun's visit. "Yu Xiao, please go back to Qinglan Valley first to take care of an important matter."
"Return to the sect? What's the matter?" Lu Lingyun said: "Elder Jiang intends to accept you as his true disciple. You should go back and formally become his disciple first, and then come to Luoxia City." what? True teachings? This news. Yu Xiao was very surprised. Of course he could see that Elder Jiang Changqing had always admired him, but was obviously hesitant about whether to formally accept him as a disciple. Yu Xiao was able to refine second-level pills when he was less than fifty years old. Such skills could rank him among the top 100 in the Alchemy Pavilion. If Yu Xiao was only in his twenties or thirties. Or he may have reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Then Jiang Changqing would definitely accept him as his disciple without hesitation, but Yu Xiao's age and cultivation level were in a rather awkward position. More than what is lacking is more than what is lacking. Yu Xiao believed that even if Jiang Changqing had thought of taking him as his apprentice, this idea was not very firm. however. At this moment, Lu Lingyun said that Jiang Changqing planned to accept him as his true disciple. This is intriguing. If Jiang Changqing really wanted to accept Yu Xiao as his true disciple, it would not be Lu Lingyun's turn to convey this. It can only be explained. Jiang Changqing will accept Yu Xiao as his disciple. This matter was the result of discussion with Lu Lingyun. Jiang Changqing accepted a disciple for a big reason, which was also because of Lv Lingyun, for example, he was optimistic about Lv Lingyun's development in Fengming Mountain. Yu Xiao was also an alchemist that Lv Lingyun trusted. Under such circumstances, accepting Yu Xiao as a true disciple would increase the influence and benefits of the Alchemy Pavilion in Fengming Mountain in the future. This involves multiple considerations and games. "Thank you, senior sister!" Yu Xiao expressed his gratitude to Lu Lingyun, and then immediately set off to return to Qinglan Valley. About becoming a true disciple. Yu Xiao had already thought about it a long time ago, and it would be beneficial rather than harmful for him to become the true disciple at this point in time. The true disciple is the disciple with the highest status in Qinglan Valley. It can even be said that only a true disciple can be truly considered a disciple of Qinglan Valley. There are many resources in the Qinglan Valley treasury, as well as many secret techniques in the Sutra Library, which only true disciples are qualified to redeem. For Yu Xiao. This is very important!
Two days later. Return to Qinglan Valley. Arrived at Jiuyang Mountain as soon as possible. First, he reported to Jiang Changqing and reported the mission in Luoxia City. "That's right!" Jiang Changqing stroked his long beard and said, "Although Junior Brother Lu has already informed you of the news in advance, I still want to ask you one more question. Are you willing to become my true disciple?" Yu Xiao did not hesitate and showed just the right amount of surprise: "This is exactly what I want!" Jiang Changqing laughed: "Okay, in that case, I will officially accept you as my true disciple!" A few days later. Two to three thousand disciples gathered at the Medicine Refining Pavilion. The disciples looked at him with envy and admiration. Yu Xiao formally went through the apprenticeship ceremony and became the disciple of Qinglan Valley's alchemy elder Jiang Changqing. From now on, he will become the true disciple of Qinglan Valley and Jiang Changqing's fourteenth disciple. "Little junior brother!" "congratulations!" Several true disciples came forward to congratulate Yu Xiao. After all, from today on, this person is one of theirs. Jiang Changqing had accepted thirteen disciples in total before Yu Xiao, half of whom were not in Qinglan Valley, and some of them he had never met before. Even so. But from the moment Yu Xiao became Jiang Changqing's apprentice. These senior brothers and sisters automatically established a close relationship with him. The happiest among them. It is undoubtedly the Thirteenth Senior Sister Chen Xiaoyu. "Hahaha, that's great, I'm not the youngest anymore!" Different from other disciples. There is no seniority rule for disciples of Qinglan Valley. Generally, the one who has achieved more comes first, and whoever has higher cultivation level is the senior brother. however. In the same school. To avoid confusion there will be a clear order.
This ranking has no direct relationship with the level of cultivation, but only with the time of becoming a disciple. Yu Xiao is Jiang Changqing's fourteenth disciple, and naturally the fourteenth junior brother. Including Chen Xiaoyu, those in front of him are all senior brothers and sisters. After becoming a true disciple. There are many more privileges. For example, one can freely choose most positions in the sect, or even not participate in any work, and the sect will give true disciples a generous guaranteed income and training resources every year. For example, a sect's true disciples can enter and leave the sect freely without reporting, and can also apply for various assistance and protection from the sect. In addition, there are many other things, such as allowing private individuals to form gangs and factions, allowing applications for cultivation caves in the Qinglan Valley cultivation site, etc. In general Many benefits. The true disciple is the sect’s own son. Even if it doesn't work or produce anything, it will still be well taken care of. Of course, true disciples also have corresponding obligations, such as respecting their teachers and standing up when the sect is in danger. After becoming a true disciple. Yu Xiao came to the sect's scripture library. The disciple on duty at the Sutra Library is an old deacon who has achieved perfect Qi training. Although this old deacon is nearly a hundred years old, he is still just an ordinary disciple. Therefore, when he saw the clearly visible pattern of a true disciple on Yu Xiao's body, he couldn't help but show envy. Yu Xiaoze cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I want to go up to the second floor!" The old deacon was stunned: "The second floor is full of foundation-building techniques and secrets. I think it may be a bit too advanced for my current junior brothers." Yu Xiao said: "It's okay, I want to exchange for the foundation-building technique in advance, so that I can comprehend the mysteries of the high-level techniques and prepare for future practice. It can also better motivate myself to practice and master the technique as soon as possible." The old deacon was a little puzzled. This true disciple has only reached the sixth level of Qi training. It is not certain whether the foundation can be established. How can one obtain the foundation-building technique so early? However, the other party is a true disciple after all. He has the help of the elders of the sect and the support and subsidies of various resources of the sect. It is not impossible for such a person to complete the foundation building in the future. The old deacon was curious. But I didn't dare to ask more. He immediately presented a jade slip of catalogue from the second floor of the Sutra Repository, which recorded the secret techniques and names of various precious books stored on the second floor by Qinglan Valley. Yu Xiao looked through the catalog. Almost all of the skills and secret techniques on the second floor of the Sutra Repository require foundation building, and 70 to 80 percent of them can only be obtained by disciples who have received the true teachings or have been specially authorized.
“I’m lucky!” Yu Xiao couldn't help but have such thoughts. Because he was in need of a foundation-building technique, and happened to become a true disciple at this time. Otherwise, as an ordinary disciple, not to mention that most of the skills cannot be exchanged, even if you find a skill that can be exchanged. As an ordinary disciple. Exchanging it for a foundation-building technique is too eye-catching. It is different now. Yu Xiao is a true disciple. Not only is there no restriction on exchange, but it also becomes much more reasonable for him to obtain foundation-building cultivation techniques. Finally, after some analysis. Yu Xiao found a satisfactory technique. [Qingmu Changsheng Gong (Volume 150)], exchange conditions: 8 medium-grade spirit stones, earth-level merit tokens. This "Qingmu Changsheng Gong" is Qinglan Valley's unique foundation-building technique. This method is difficult to practice and requires the "Qingmu Gong" as a foundation. Each exercise. There are advantages and disadvantages to each exercise. Some techniques are easier to practice and have lower difficulty in breaking through, some techniques can increase the speed of practicing secret techniques, and some techniques can enhance the power of certain secret techniques. Although Qingmu Changsheng Gong is more difficult to practice than most foundation-building exercises, it has the effect of enhancing vitality, recovery ability, and prolonging lifespan. of course. Yu Xiao took a fancy to it. It does not increase lifespan. The magical power cultivated through this method is peaceful and stable, and can be compatible with at least three auxiliary cultivation methods of completely different natures at the same time. what does this mean? Ordinary main cultivation techniques are usually only compatible with one secondary cultivation technique, and some overly powerful techniques are completely incompatible with other techniques. Qingmu Changshenggong is different. After mastering this skill, Yu Xiao can not only practice a body-building skill, but also a sword-cultivation skill, or other types of skills. In other words, based on this technique, Yu Xiao can simultaneously possess the identities of a physical cultivator, a sword cultivator, a magic cultivator, or other cultivators. Although Qingmu Changsheng Gong is one of the best foundation-building techniques in Qinglan Valley, there have not been many cultivators who practice this technique since ancient times. The main reason is still. Although this function is compatible with three auxiliary cultivation methods at the same time and greatly reduces the side effects of the auxiliary cultivation methods, most people simply cannot practice so many auxiliary cultivation methods! It is very difficult for a cultivator to break through to the foundation-building stage, and it is already very good if he can master a supplementary technique. Master two techniques at the same time?
Unless one is a genius cultivator who appears once in a thousand years like the Master, it is impossible to have the time, energy, and resources to do so. As for practicing the three auxiliary exercises at the same time? There are not many ancestors in the history of Qinglan Valley who can do this! Therefore, when choosing their main practice method, many elders generally choose a method that is relatively easy to practice, has a relatively low threshold, and is more practical. Qingmu Changsheng Gong is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. Currently, only the cheapest upper volume can be exchanged. enough. Yu Xiao used ordinary spirit stones to exchange for 150 medium-grade spirit stones. After the exchange was completed, he had basically spent all the profits he had earned from the Luoxia City mission, and even emptied his spirit stone deposits. however. Well worth the money. Now that I have the foundation-building pill and the skills, the conditions for breaking through the foundation have been met! (End of this chapter)
