Immortal Palace Longevity - Chapter 106 Conditions
The place to exchange for foundation-building pills is not Qingquan Peak, but another main peak, Qingyun Peak.
What kind of precious strategic resource is foundation-building pill? How can a small Qi-refining disciple exchange it?
There are many inner and outer disciples in the sect, and there are also many who have reached the ninth level of Qi-refining and have enough contributions to the sect, but only a very small number of people can exchange it. The rest of them have to wait in line for who knows when, and they may miss the best age for foundation-building and not even get the foundation-building pill.
Liu Yu flew to Qingquan Peak, of course, not in the wrong direction, but there was someone here who could help him “cut in line” to get the foundation-building pill. If this person helped, the possibility of exchanging for the foundation-building pill would be greatly increased.
An hour later, Liu Yu arrived at Qingquan Peak, landed at the foot of the mountain, and walked straight to Zhengyuan Hall.
Yes, he wanted to try his luck with Uncle Geng Yuanzhang. Although Uncle Geng had a short life span and only held an idle position, his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation-building.
And from the last contact, he also likes to help the younger generation, otherwise he would not have taken out a token to recommend him to practice in Qingling Peak, one of the best caves in the Qi Refining period.
Asking people to do things, Liu Yu has no extra burden in his heart, everything is just for a better pursuit of the Great Dao, which is essentially no different from other people’s means.
He only knows that he must use all means to seize the opportunity when it comes, otherwise he will regret it.
Liu Yu’s face is calm and calm, and his speed is neither fast nor slow. He arrived at Zhengyuan Hall after three quarters of an hour.
The two gray-robed outer disciples stationed at the gate are still, and their cultivation is above the seventh level of Qi Refining. The sect does not know whether it is to warn those who come here to promote to the inner gate not to slack off in cultivation, otherwise this will be a lesson from the past.
Zhengyuan Hall is the place where the outer gate is promoted to the inner gate. There is no other business besides this. Liu Yu is already an inner gate disciple, so he was stopped by two outer gate disciples guarding the gate.
“This senior brother is already an inner disciple. I wonder what he wants to do in Zhengyuan Hall?”
The two outer disciples bowed and clasped their fists. One of them asked cautiously. He didn’t want to offend this inner disciple who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining easily.
“Please report to Uncle Geng and tell him that Liu Yu wants to see you.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly, and he didn’t seem to have any sense of superiority over the outer disciples. He said gently.
The two outer disciples looked at each other, as if they were hesitating about something. Finally, the outer disciple on the left gritted his teeth and said:
“Senior Brother Liu, wait a moment. I will go and ask Uncle Geng for instructions.”
Then the outer disciple entered the hall to ask Geng Yuanzhang for instructions.
In less than half a cup of tea, he returned, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully:
“Senior Brother Liu, please come in. Uncle Geng agrees to see you.”
Liu Yu nodded slightly, walked into Zhengyuan Hall with steady steps.
The Zhengyuan Hall has not changed at all compared to a few years ago. It is dignified and grand, and is kept clean and meticulous.
On the wall in the center of the hall hangs a portrait of the Yuanying Patriarch. Under the portrait is a red table with an incense burner on the table. There are also a few incense sticks on the incense burner. There are three cushions on the ground behind the red table.
After Liu Yu walked in, he glanced at the hall and walked to a small room. Standing in front of the small window, he respectfully saluted Geng Yuanzhang, who was lying on the armchair and reading an ancient book, and then said:
“Disciple Liu Yu, meet Uncle Geng!”
“Uncle Geng’s kindness last time, I will remember it in my heart, thank Uncle Geng!”
Geng Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Yu, and then found that his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was a little surprised and said:
“If I remember correctly, my nephew should have three spiritual roots. Why did he reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in just five or six years?”
The memory of immortal cultivators gradually improves from the beginning of cultivation. When he handled the promotion last time, Liu Yu’s basic information had been remembered by him. He was also from the other courtyard faction. He cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining at the age of 20 with three spiritual roots, so he had the intention to help him.
“Replying to Uncle Geng, I have a rough understanding of alchemy. In recent years, I have been able to refine the Purple Spirit Pill with a 30% success rate, so I have no shortage of pills when practicing.”
“So my practice speed is a little faster than that of my fellow disciples.”
Liu Yu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said the words he had prepared long ago, of course, he was a little bit shy.
If you say that you have a 30% success rate in refining the Green Spirit Pill, it is not just a little talent. It requires talent and a lot of practice from bottom to top, which will definitely arouse suspicion from others.
Geng Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and in his heart he looked up to this 27-8-year-old disciple.
At such a young age, he has practiced to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Seeing that his breath is stable and his magic power is not chaotic, it is known that he has not blindly pursued the speed of practice and ignored the foundation.
“I wonder why my nephew came to see me, an old man?”
Geng Yuanzhang’s eyes were a little cloudy, but he was in good spirits. I couldn’t see other expressions, and I didn’t know whether he believed it or not.
“My uncle, since the war in the cultivation world caused by the spirit stone mine broke out, I have been stationed in Hanyue City on the border of Qingzhou. I feel that I am insignificant and that the life of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is uncertain.”
“My uncle has been cultivating to the ninth level of Qi Refining for a year. I feel that I have some confidence in building the foundation, and the contributions to the sect have been collected. However, the foundation building pill is hard to come by, so I would like to ask my uncle to help me exchange for a foundation building pill.”
Liu Yu bowed deeply and said sincerely.
He was actually a little nervous, but there was really no better way at the moment. The favors from Yan Hongyu had been exhausted. His cultivation had improved quite a lot in the past ten years, but his foundation in the sect was too shallow after all, so he could only try his luck with Uncle Geng.
Geng Yuanzhang didn’t say anything, as if he was thinking about something. He put down the ancient book and said after a while:
“How confident are you, nephew?”
Liu Yu quickly replied after hearing this:
“With the help of the foundation-building pill, I’m 55% confident!”
Geng Yuanzhang’s heart moved. When he was building his foundation with his second spiritual root, he was only 50% confident. How dare this nephew Liu say 55% confident? Judging from his behavior, he didn’t seem like a boaster, and it seemed that he had some secrets.
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart. He was already a dying man, and it was too late to think about anything now.
“It’s not impossible to help you exchange for a foundation-building pill.”
Geng Yuanzhang said this, then changed the subject and said:
“But I have a condition.”
As it concerns the path of the Tao, any difficult conditions can be solved after the foundation is established. Liu Yu replied without thinking:
“As long as Uncle Master can help me exchange for a foundation-building pill, I will do my best to complete it no matter how difficult the conditions are!”
Geng Yuanzhang’s eyes became distant. He said slowly:
“I am now over 230 years old. My Taoist partner passed away 30 years ago. I have two sons and two daughters, all of whom have no spiritual roots.”
“But one of my great-grandsons does have spiritual roots, but unfortunately, he is a pseudo-spiritual root of the four spiritual roots. I don’t know whether it is right or wrong to lead him to the immortal path.”
“My condition is that if you can build a foundation, you must provide him with shelter after my death, and provide him with an opportunity to build a foundation when he cultivates to perfection.”
“If you can’t build a foundation, naturally, everything is off. If you agree, you can make a heart demon oath!”
After Geng Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yu with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through him.
The heart demon oath is a very binding oath for cultivators at the Jindan stage and below. If it cannot be completed, they will encounter extremely powerful heart demons when they break through the realm, basically cutting off their hope of further progress.
So as long as the cultivators who want to go further on the immortal path will not easily make or violate the heart demon oath.
