"Stepping on medicine is a method of inputting spiritual energy into medicinal materials through the soles of the feet for tempering..."
"I would like to state in advance that the task of stepping on the medicine takes a long time and the rewards are small. It is not helpful in improving the realm, but it is effective in refining spiritual energy..."
After Zhao Yu took over the task of stepping on medicine, a dedicated person was responsible for explaining the contents related to stepping on medicine.
"Hello, I would like to ask, what does refining spiritual energy mean?!" This was the first time Zhao Yu had heard about stepping on medicine, and he was quite interested.
"The purpose of refining spiritual energy is to accurately control the output and input of spiritual energy..."
"It doesn't have much to do with the improvement of realm, but it can improve combat effectiveness, which will be of some benefit to the path after advancement and foundation building..."
"For many monks, practicing by stepping on medicine is just the icing on the cake, or even ineffective. Only those children of wealthy families who are sure to be promoted to the foundation building stage will practice..."
The person in charge of the task of stepping on the medicine was quite conscientious. Through Zhao Yu's clothes, he could see that he was just an ordinary disciple. He gave several warnings in the hope that Zhao Yu could retreat despite the difficulties.
Unexpectedly, after listening to the introduction, Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
When the person in charge saw this, he didn't try to persuade him. He shook his head and said regretfully: "Everyone has his own destiny, and you choose the path yourself. I just hope you don't regret it many years later!"
After that, the person in charge handed Zhao Yu a spiritual tablet and said: "The southernmost part of Wangxian Mountain is the Treading Medicine Valley. You go..."
"Thank you!"
Zhao Yu took the spiritual tablet and left happily.
Looking at his back, the person in charge shook his head and sighed: "Another person who has gone astray..."
When he arrived at Treading Medicine Valley, Zhao Yu found that there were more people here than he thought.
The valley is divided into several areas, and each area has various spiritual fields. There are medicinal materials in the fields, and a group of young men and women are standing on them enthusiastically.
At the gate of the valley, a woman wearing the uniform of an assistant steward took Zhao Yu's token and asked casually: "Junior brother, how is your cultivation?"
"First level of Qi training!"
"layer?!"
The assistant steward was stunned and looked Zhao Yu up and down. He found that he was only wearing an ordinary outer disciple's clothes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
However, she had met all kinds of people, so she didn't ask any questions. She pointed to a field not far away and said, "The medicinal materials here are relatively low-level and more suitable for monks like you..."
"Stepping on medicine is very simple. Use the spiritual energy on the soles of your feet to temper the medicinal materials. Each medicinal material needs to be tempered more than nine times. At least one medicinal material must be tempered every day..."
Zhao Yu heard this and walked over. This field is not small. There are many medicinal materials in the field. There are already more than ten people stepping on the medicine here.
What made him a little confused was that in other medicinal fields, there were more women than men, with a ratio of almost seven to one.
But in his medicine field, there are more men than women. Except for two girls who look to be fifteen or sixteen years old, the others are all men, and they are not young either, almost twenty years old.
"Here comes another one..."
As soon as Zhao Yu arrived here, he heard someone whispering and looking at him with eyes full of hostility.
Zhao Yu looked around and found that the men here were all hostile to him. Only the two girls had some teasing and playfulness in their eyes.
Without understanding the situation, Zhao Yu didn't say much and just started trying to take the medicine.
After trying it a few times, he found that it was not difficult to step on the medicine. However, with his level of Qi training, he could only refine a medicinal plant to one-fifth of its size when all his spiritual energy was exhausted.
Including the time to restore spiritual energy, it would take him a whole day to refine a medicinal plant nine times.
For other people, it is obviously inappropriate to spend a whole day without practicing and just spend their spiritual energy doing this kind of thing.
But for Zhao Yu, he doesn't need to practice like ordinary people at all, so naturally he can waste a lot of time.
"Sister Cai'er, if you are tired, take a rest. We are willing to wait for you..."
"Yes, sister Cai'er, your medicinal herbs have been tempered five times, and there is enough time left..."
After a period of observation, Zhao Yu discovered that all the male monks in this medicine field were surrounding one of the two female monks.
Two young female monks, dressed in gold and silver, looked like they were of extraordinary status.
Wearing gold and silver jewelry on them not only does not look tacky, but adds a bit of nobility.
Every time a male monk said something, Cai'er, one of the two female monks, responded with a smile and said she was not tired, thank you brother.
As for the other female monk, she was speechless and did not respond to other people's words. She only occasionally chatted with Cai'er.
Just when Zhao Yu was confused, the conversation between the two people in Yaotian next to him came to his ears.
"A group of people who want toads to eat swan meat..."
"The granddaughter of the inner sect elder has never seen anything in the world, how can she be abducted by them?!"
"Haha, you don't even know the true meaning of stepping on medicine, so you come here to waste time. You are really stupid!"
There is no doubt that these words were spoken to their medicine field.
Zhao Yu could hear it, and so could the people next to him. Hearing this, he suddenly became furious.
But no one dared to refute anything, they just kept their heads down and took the medicine, even Cai'er's voice became less flattering.
Zhao Yu was not in a hurry to understand the situation, but observed the situation in the medicine field.
I found that throughout the Medicine Valley, the medicine-trapping monks in the medicine fields were all wearing outer-style clothing, but they had various gold and silver trims and jewelry, which made them look much more advanced.
Zhao Yu has also met the second young lady. Even the second young lady of their Zhao family does not wear such high-profile clothes. At most, she wears a pair of earrings and some bracelets on her hands.
This shows that the status of each of these people is no worse than that of the second lady.
The only exception is the dozen or so male monks in their medicine field.
Judging from the ease with which they stepped on the medicine, their cultivation level was at least the sixth level of Qi training.
As for Cai'er and the girl next to her, judging from their cultivation level, they should be similar to him, just one level of Qi training.
"Brothers, what do you think of this medicinal plant I stepped on?!"
Just when the dozen or so male monks were feeling uncomfortable, Cai'er took the initiative to speak out.
The dozen or so male monks immediately cheered and praised Cai'er for her good performance.
After all, Zhao Yu has experienced several lives and has a lot of experience. He figured out the situation in just the blink of an eye.
This step on medicine, as the person in charge said, does not make much sense to ordinary people.
Even for many monks in the foundation building stage, the effect of stepping on medicine is better than nothing, which is equivalent to adding 1 point to 100 points.
After all, depleting the spiritual energy will not increase the spiritual energy. Only by practicing normally according to the exercises can the spiritual energy be increased and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving the realm.
Therefore, practicing by stepping on medicine is of no benefit to monks in the ordinary Qi training period. Instead, it will only waste time.
But for those children of wealthy families who have no shortage of resources and are sure to be able to practice to the foundation-building stage, practicing medicine is exactly the point of comparison.
In the secular world, the biggest comparison is naturally money.
In the world of immortality, besides money, the biggest comparisons are time, talent, and qualifications.
It's like practicing medicine, it has all the elements. People who don't have money, leisure, qualifications, talent and time don't dare to come.
This is like a luxury item. The more useless it is, the more precious it is, the more luxurious it is, and the more worth showing off.
Of course, Zhao Yu knew this because it was actually related to Huniu's letter.
In the past three years, Huniu told many things about Shushan.
The most important point among them is to be firm in Taoism and pursue cultivation of immortality wholeheartedly.
From her letters, Zhao Yu knew that the various arts of cultivating immortality did exist, but one should not indulge in them, otherwise it would be a waste of time and the path to immortality would be cut off.
Especially for children from poor families like them, there is only one path to take on the road to immortality, and that is to focus on realm.
As for other alchemy, weapon refining, talisman seals, formations, etc., they are like wild beasts and cannot be touched.
I don’t know how many allusions and examples there are about young geniuses who are proud of their talents and compare themselves with the children of wealthy families. In their early years, they indulged in the cultivation of immortality and various arts, and finally failed to achieve greatness and disappeared from everyone.
Stepping on medicine can be said to be the foundation of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. The purpose is to better control the input and output of spiritual energy and perform precise and refined operations.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhao Yu. The purpose of his coming here is to obtain energy.
Seeing the lively chat among the people, Zhao Yu also joined in at the right time.
"I'm just practicing Qi at one level, but I still dream of reaching the sky in one step..."
Some people were disdainful, thinking that Zhao Yu was only at the first level of Qi training, so he wanted to take shortcuts like everyone else.
"Haha, Junior Sister Cai'er, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp..."
Some people who knew Cai'er sneered in a low voice from a distance, feeling that these people really had the wrong target.
"They think that Junior Sister Cai'er is only fifteen years old and that she is at the first level of Qi training and can easily be fooled..."
"But who would have known that Junior Sister Cai'er also has the nickname Little Witch..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, her sister is a protector..."
People in other medicine fields in the distance suddenly became quiet, just watching the excitement and no longer meddling in other people's business.
Here, Zhao Yu chatted with everyone for a long time, but there was still no movement. Not to mention a lot of energy, not even a little energy was received.
This made him frown, and he looked at Cai'er and the girl next to her, full of confusion.
A moment later, amid a burst of compliments, Zhao Yu suddenly realized.
The one named Cai'er, according to others, is the granddaughter of a certain inner sect elder. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she is always praised wherever she goes. She has long been used to this, so she naturally doesn't have any mood swings.
Unlike before, most of the women Zhao Yu came into contact with were maids of the same status as him. All of them were full of inferiority and had not seen much of the world.
After being praised by him, I felt a little happy, and naturally the energy frame came in.
Zhao Yu touched his chin and became thoughtful.
"Brothers, look at how well this medicinal plant of mine has been trampled. It's shaped like a cloud, just like my name..." Junior Sister Cai'er looked innocent, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Anyone who knows her well knows that she is just teasing these people.
Amid the praise, a discordant voice suddenly came out.
"Why do I look like a piece of shit?"
After the words fell, the whole place fell into silence.
People looked in the direction of the sound, and Zhao Yu said innocently with a hint of innocence in his eyes.
This kid...
"What did you say?!"
"How can you say such things about Junior Sister Cai'er's medicinal materials..."
Some people yelled loudly, and some people were angry.
But some people quietly took a look at the medicinal materials Cai'er held in her hand, and they really saw a bit of shit in them.
[Anger from Mo Caier, energy +99]
[Shock from Huanglong, energy +699]
【From...】
In just a few seconds, Zhao Yu harvested dozens of energy points. Each energy point was as little as Mo Cai'er's 99 points, or as many as hundreds or nearly a thousand points. In total, it directly exceeded 10,000 points.
This shocked Zhao Yu.
You know, before he became an immortal cultivator, he had accumulated more than 100,000 energy for three years, but now, among a group of immortal cultivators, just a casual word has attracted so much energy.
Sure enough, the stronger the person, the more energy they can obtain.
Zhao Yu sighed in his heart, but apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I saw it wrong..."
"Junior Sister Cai'er, you won't blame me, will you?!"
Zhao Yu ignored the others and looked at Mo Caier and asked.
Although Mo Caier was extremely angry, the character she had always shown was that she was gentle and easy to deceive. Compared with what she wanted to do, there seemed to be no need to expose Zhao Yu.
She silently suppressed the anger in her heart, smiled sweetly and said: "Brother is joking, how could Cai'er blame you..."
[Disgust from Mo Caier, energy +99]
Seeing that Mo Cai'er didn't pursue the case anymore, everyone else also gave up.
However, some people were secretly happy, thinking that Zhao Yu had no chance.
Next, Zhao Yu would interject a word or two from time to time, and every time, he would gain a huge wave of energy.
Finally, Mo Caier's medicinal materials reached nine times of tempering.
"Brothers, Cai'er has finished tempering, I'm going home..."
Seeing this, everyone else also expressed that their tempering was complete.
With their Qi training levels at the seventh or eighth level, they should have finished tempering it long ago. The reason why they seemed to be so slow was purely to keep talking to Mo Cai'er.
On the other hand, Zhao Yu has only tempered for the fifth time at this moment, and it still needs time.
"Junior brother, please temper slowly!"
At this time, most of the people in the medicine field had left, leaving only a few who had not yet finished tempering.
After walking out of the Medicine Valley, someone suggested: "Junior Sister Cai'er, if Zhao Yu makes you unhappy, just mention it to the assistant steward and disqualify him from the mission..."
"That's right, he's only at the first level of Qi training. It's too hard to come here..."
"But, brother, Cai'er is also practicing Qi to the first level~!"
"How can he compare with Junior Sister Cai'er? Junior Sister Cai'er is talented and intelligent and will definitely become a fairy in the future..."
Mo Caier shook her head and said, "Isn't this bad..."
She cursed in her heart, if she drove Zhao Yu away, how would she be able to get back her place in the future.
Today, since Zhao Yu came, she felt that her breath was not flowing smoothly, and it was not as smooth as before.
Some people wanted to say something, but were stopped by their companions.
"Brothers, Cai'er has gone home. See you tomorrow!"
Seeing that the others didn't continue to say anything, Mo Cai'er took her companion girl and left.
"Cai'er, that guy named Zhao Yu offended you so much, aren't you angry?"
The girl who was traveling with her stood up for her and chatted endlessly on the road.
Mo Caier sneered, "Humph, the days are long, wait until I take care of him slowly..."
On the other side, one of the more than ten monks asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you stop me just now and didn't you take the opportunity to let that Zhao Yu get out?!"
"Haha, haven't you noticed that after Zhao Yu came, the relationship between Junior Sister Cai'er and us has become much closer?"
"It seems like this..."
Someone recalled it and found that this was really the case.
"That Zhao Yu, although he is a bit naive, is a good target and can bring us closer to Junior Sister Cai'er..."
"He's already like that. There's absolutely no chance of him doing that in the future. Why not keep him and be a stepping stone for us?!"
"It makes sense. Senior brother is still smart. Why didn't I expect..."
So, a month passed.
Zhao Yu still goes to the Medicine Valley to practice medicine every day, and from time to time he says a sharper word and harvests a wave of energy.
This period of time was his happiest time. In just one month, he gained nearly three million energy.
This is something I never dared to think about before.
You know, before, it took him three years to harvest 100,000 energy from ordinary maids.
But now, this group of immortal cultivators have harvested three million energy in a month.
According to calculations, the energy Zhao Yu possesses at this moment is enough for him to be promoted to the ninth level of Qi training.
As for how much energy is needed to break through the foundation building period, Zhao Yu doesn't know.
However, he did not blindly improve his cultivation and was still hovering at the first level of Qi training.
After all, according to the plan, he must practice for three years before being promoted to the eighth level of Qi training. As for the ninth level of Qi training, it depends on Huniu's progress.
Only in this way will you not attract the attention of others.
However, after a month of using medicine, Zhao Yu found that there were fewer people in the medicine valley.
Especially the people in their medicine field were missing four or five people.
These people seemed to realize that even Mo Cai'er was not something they could easily win.
It was extremely difficult to take a shortcut and eventually withdrew from the competition.
The other monks became even more diligent and tried various tricks to please Mo Cai'er.
Finally, in the third month, Mo Cai'er couldn't help it anymore and yelled at Zhao Yu with all kinds of fancy terms, which was completely inconsistent with the image of a lady she had shown before.
"Auntie, stop pretending. Zhao Yu, you bastard, is pretending to be stupid. Are you just here to piss off my auntie?!"
This sentence directly shocked everyone. Although Zhao Yu felt that there was something wrong with Mo Caier, he did not expect that her personality would undergo a huge reversal.
The other senior brothers were stunned.
"Junior sister Cai'er, it's not worth it to do this for this kind of person..."
Unexpectedly, when she heard the person next to her talking, Mo Cai'er scolded her directly: "Shut up, you are old. You don't want to practice hard, but you want to fool me, a little girl..."
"Why, if I catch my aunt, you can get the Foundation Establishment Pill?!"
"Are you so easy to deceive as my aunt? These days, my aunt is just playing with you, watching you lick the dog for fun..."
"Sister Cai'er..."
All the male monks present were blushing. Unexpectedly, Mo Cai'er seemed to have changed into a different person and scolded them all.
"Tsk, tsk, did you hear that? I wanted to tell you as early as three months ago, don't be stubborn. Who knows, you didn't understand my hint..." When the others were silent, Zhao Yu suddenly spoke , with a look of regret.
This made others feel pain in their balls, as they felt that Zhao Yu was bragging, but also felt that he was not lying.
After all, in the past three months, Zhao Yu did not lick Mo Cai'er like them, but instead made all kinds of nonsense, which made Mo Cai'er depressed every time.
From this point of view, Zhao Yu really seemed to be waking them up.
"Go away, you bunch of rubes, I get annoyed when I see you..."
Mo Cai'er became angry and cursed at those male monks.
The surrounding male monks finally couldn't stand any longer and fled amidst the teasing and ridicule from other medicine fields.
"Haha, the little witch finally showed her true nature. She has endured it for three months, which is longer than I thought..."
"Then that idiot Zhao Yu is here. If he hadn't been there to sing the opposite tune, I'm afraid the little witch wouldn't be able to pretend anymore in a week or two..."
Zhao Yu came to the medicine field to practice medicine as a first-level Qi practitioner, so he naturally attracted some attention, and someone secretly checked his identity.
After discovering that he was just a servant, it became boring.
Naturally, I also learned that his former nickname was Handaner.
"Silly boy, hum, you boy, pretend to be good for me!"
After driving away the others, Mo Caier pulled her best friend to Zhao Yu, stared at him with wide eyes, and said viciously: "During this period, you have been pretending to be stupid every time, don't think that I I don’t know, you just came to make me angry..."
"Boy, do you think you can make me fall in love with you in this way?"
"you are too naive!"
In the past three months, Mo Cai'er has also been suffering.
At first, they really thought Zhao Yu was stupid.
Later, after realizing something was wrong, I started to analyze again and felt that Zhao Yu might have gone in the opposite direction. While others adopted the strategy of licking the dog, Zhao Yu adopted the strategy of indulgence in lust.
The purpose is to pursue her.
As a result, the two kept designing tests, but who knew that Zhao Yu would not succeed every time.
After holding it in for three months, Mo Caier finally couldn't bear it anymore and showed off her cards.
"What is love? What do you mean by letting me have sex with you?!" Zhao Yu asked with a confused look on his face.
These words made Mo Caier feel powerless again.
In the past three months, Zhao Yu would do this every time at a critical moment, leaving her powerless and useless.
"Huh, silly boy, let's see!"
Mo Caier angrily pulled her best friend away and left.
Looking at her back, Zhao Yu felt a sense of regret. In the past three months, he had earned tens of millions of energy, and he couldn't care less about it.
Now that Mo Caier is gone, it means that he has to change his harvest target.
There was no one in the medicine field, and Zhao Yu was too lazy to stay any longer. He just finished quenching the medicinal materials and returned to his residence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in his yard, he saw Zhao Yi and Zhao Ming standing in the yard.
"Zhao Yu, you are back..."
"What, is something wrong?!"
Zhao Yu looked at the two of them with some confusion.
These days, he occasionally meets two people. They are all in a hurry to practice, and they rarely have time to chat.
Today, the two of them seemed to have something to do and stood guard in the yard together, as if waiting for him.
"The second lady came here just now..."
"Second Miss and the others have returned from their mission. After learning about you, let us inform you to find her..."
There was a hint of helplessness on Zhao Yi's face, "Zhao Yu, your talent is not as good as mine. After entering Shushan, if you don't pay close attention to your cultivation, why are you still wasting time in Medicine Valley?!"
“Don’t you know that places like Yaogu are only visited by those from wealthy families?!”
"For children from a humble family like us, Yaogu is a forbidden area. Whoever goes there will be destroyed..."
Zhao Ming nodded and said seriously: "You just entered the mountain gate not long ago, so it's understandable that you don't know. You are already eighteen years old now, but you are still only at the first level of Qi training..."
"It will take at least four or five years to reach the ninth level of Qi training. By then you will be twenty-three or four years old..."
"It's my first time to try to build a foundation at this age. It's very difficult to succeed without a foundation building pill..."
"As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is very difficult to obtain it, and it requires a lot of credit..."
"How much credit do you need for Yaogu's mission?"
"Even if you stay in Medicine Valley for ten years, you still won't be able to get enough credit for the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
"Besides, you can't practice in Medicine Valley..."
Only then did Zhao Yu realize that these two people knew about his cultivation in Medicine Valley.
He nodded and said: "Thank you for your concern, senior brother, I have my own sense of discretion..."
"Okay, as long as you understand!"
The two of them didn't say much and asked Zhao Yu to go to the second lady's place quickly.
…
"Second Miss, please, let me see Fool..."
In another main courtyard, Huniu begged lowly.
"We haven't seen each other for more than three years. I miss him so much..."
"no!"
Zhao Ling'er shook his head and said, "Do you know who King Kong's grandfather is?"
"His grandfather is an elder of the inner sect. It's rare for him to be interested in you. If he knows that you and Zhao Yu are like this, there will be no possibility between you!"
Huniu shook her head and said: "Second Miss, I don't care about this, I just want to be with Han Dan'er..."
"madness!"
Zhao Ling'er was a little angry, "Silly Dan'er is just an ordinary person. Even if you force him into the world of immortal cultivation, so what, he won't be able to go far!"
"Didn't you listen to what my second uncle said just now? Han Dan'er has been in Yaogu for the past three months. With his qualifications, going to Yaogu is asking for death..."
"Moreover, the second uncle also said that when Han Daner went to Medicine Valley, he seemed to be planning to get close to the granddaughter of an inner sect elder..."
"Impossible!" Huniu shook her head and said, "I believe Handan'er is not such a person. He loves me very much..."
"hehe!"
Zhao Ling'er sneered and said, "When I went to pick up Han Dan'er and went up the mountain, I specifically asked about his situation at the bottom of the mountain..."
"Do you know what he has been doing at the foot of the mountain in the past three years?"
"What did you do?" Huniu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.
Although she has been sending letters to Zhao Yu for three years, she has never received a reply, and she doesn't know what Han Dan'er has been through.
"He flirted all over Zhao's house and had affairs with countless women. Do you still think he is still the fool you once loved?"
"Teasing?!"
Huniu was shocked and a little suspicious, "It's impossible, he is an idiot, how could he take the initiative to flirt with a woman?"
"Do you think I'm lying to you?!" Zhao Ling'er said displeased.
"No, Miss Second, I'm not doubting you, it's just that I don't believe that Han Dan'er is such a person..."
Zhao Ling'er shook his head and said: "That's the fact. You can't meet each other unless he can reach the ninth level of Qi training within three years. Otherwise, you should have a good relationship with King Kong honestly..."
Huniu pursed her lips, intending to refuse, but thinking of the Zhao family's care for her since she was a child, and the second lady's life together with her over the years, she finally said nothing.
After all, when Han Dan'er was asked to go to Shushan in the early years, he had already begged the second lady once. If he asked for help again, he would be overreaching.
Not long after Huniu left, Zhao Yu arrived at the second lady's yard.
Unlike other people who crowded into one courtyard, the second young lady, as a young lady from the Zhao family, was naturally alone in the courtyard.
"Second Miss, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Yu looked around, but didn't see Huniu's figure, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
To be honest, Huniu has been sending him letters for more than three years, and even a dog has developed feelings for him.
"Zhao Yu, do you know your guilt?"
Zhao Ling'er suddenly stood up, glared, and scolded.
Originally, she planned to catch Zhao Yu off guard.
Normally, when she shouted like this, no matter which immortal cultivator was born as a servant of the Zhao family, they would not be able to withstand it and would kneel down reflexively.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu stood up straight, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Second Miss, what crime do I have?!"
He was very confused, but he didn't know that the second lady was even more confused. She was a little confused as to why Zhao Yu didn't kneel down. Could it be that the conditioned reflex could be changed so easily after years of living as a servant?
Although Zhao Yu's behavior was a bit unusual, she still spoke according to what she imagined in her mind: "Do you know how many resources and costs our Zhao family has spent to train you?"
"Do you know how difficult it is for you to enter Shushan?"
"Do you know how many people dream of entering Shushan to cultivate immortality?!"
"Now, look at yourself, how you wasted this opportunity..."
Zhao Yu looked confused, "Second Miss, why did I waste this opportunity?"
"you……"
Zhao Ling'er was furious, "Didn't Zhao Yi and Zhao Ming tell you?"
"It's about Yaogu!"
Zhao Yu suddenly realized that he was talking about Yaogu.
He thought that the second lady asked him to come here to meet Huniu.
Zhao Yu shook his head and said casually: "I heard from people that Yaogu can increase the precise control of spiritual power, so I went there to practice..."
"snort!"
Zhao Ling'er snorted coldly and said, "Then you have heard people say that Medicine Valley is a forbidden area for ordinary people. If ordinary people dare to go to Medicine Valley, ninety-nine out of a hundred will be destroyed?"
"heard……"
"Then you still dare to go?!" Zhao Ling'er said in shock.
Zhao Yu said seriously: "I think I am one of those one hundred..."
"you!"
Zhao Linger suddenly smiled, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Even I don't dare to go to Yaogu, and I don't dare to say that I am one of the hundred people in Yaogu. How dare you?!"
"Why can't I dare?" Zhao Yu asked doubtfully.
Zhao Ling'er was speechless by him. After a long while, she reorganized her words and said, "Don't you know what your qualifications are?"
"You and I are both eighteen years old. I have now reached the eighth level of Qi training, and you are still practicing the first level of Qi..."
"Do you know that if you have qualifications like yours, or even mine, if you want to advance to the foundation-building stage, you must take the foundation-building pill, otherwise there will be little hope?!"
She said earnestly: "Silly boy, you have been in Shushan not long ago and you don't know many secrets..."
"The road to cultivating immortality is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat..."
"People who cultivate immortality are very interested in their qualifications. Those with the most outstanding talents can reach the ninth level of Qi training before the age of eighteen, and have a chance to naturally break through the foundation building stage..."
"If the breakthrough fails, they will have to rebuild for several months. With the Foundation Establishment Pill, they can successfully enter the Foundation Establishment stage..."
"Those with lower qualifications, even if they don't have the chance of natural promotion, or the chance is slim, relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill, they can still try to establish the Foundation two or three times before the age of thirty..."
"What's the thirty-year-old deadline?" Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted.
Only then did Zhao Ling'er smile slightly, understanding that everything had returned to her own rhythm.
She explained: "The thirty-year-old limit is an unspoken rule for us cultivators..."
"It means that most immortal cultivators, if they have not broken through to the foundation building stage by the time they are thirty years old, they will basically have no chance to break through in this life..."
"This also means that every step before the age of thirty is important..."
"For example, I am now at the eighth level of Qi training, and I have already begun to make preparations to earn credit and exchange for foundation-building pills..."
"With the merits left by my predecessors in the Zhao family and the discount brought by my age, I want to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, the price is as low as 10%..."
"But even so, I still need to struggle for nearly a year and complete tasks non-stop to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
"What about you?"
"The potential is not as good as mine, and you are older than me. When you reach the ninth level of Qi training at the age of twenty-three or four, if you want to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill, you will need 30 to 40% of the original price..."
"It's almost as if I'm approaching the age of thirty before I can get a Foundation Establishment Pill to try to break through..."
"You have to know that even if you have the Foundation Establishment Pill, you are not guaranteed to succeed..."
"I don't know how many people, even if they have the Foundation Establishment Pill, ultimately fail to establish the Foundation..."
"For me, even if the foundation building fails once, it will take another year to rebuild. With the help of my family, I can still make a second attempt to build the foundation before I am thirty..."
"But what about you?"
"You only have one chance, one chance to break through to foundation building..."
"Once you miss it, your path to immortality will be completely cut off in this life!"
Zhao Ling'er reminded: "This is still based on the fact that you can't make a mistake in one step, practice wholeheartedly, and put all your efforts into practice..."
"If you make the wrong step, it will be a waste of time. For you, you are only at the first level of qi training. If you don't seize the time to practice, but go to the Medicine Valley to do those exercises that only the disciples of the rich clan can do, you are simply digging your own grave! "
"Is it so difficult?"
Zhao Yu murmured to himself.
He always thought that cultivating immortality was actually quite easy.
After all, both Hu Niu and the second lady are only eighteen years old, but they have already reached the eighth level of Qi training.
It seems that it is not far from the foundation building.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Zhao Ling'er said, Zhao Yu knew that the first hurdle on the road to cultivating immortality was actually building a foundation. If you cannot build a foundation before the age of thirty, your path to cultivating immortality will basically be cut off in this life.
"It's that difficult, or even harder. After all, what I just said is based on the best and taking every step correctly. In fact, if you can reach the level of training at the age of twenty-three or four as I said, The ninth level of Qi, that is really the manifestation of your ancestors..."
Zhao Ling'er then said: "I heard that these days, you and other male monks are all surrounding the granddaughter of an inner sect elder?"
"No, I just went to practice!" Zhao Yu denied it. The second lady was very close to Huniu. Inexplicably, he didn't want Huniu to know what he was doing there.
"hehe!"
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said: "The one named Mo Cai'er, I asked, has a nickname called Little Witch. She specializes in using men as playthings. You can't get involved..."
"Get out now while you're not in deep trouble. Don't go to Medicine Valley again in the future. Just practice hard..."
"Thank you, senior sister, for the suggestion. Junior brother has his own ideas..." Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted.
These words made Zhao Ling'er stunned on the spot.
"What did you call me?"
"Sister!"
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said: "I am an outer disciple of Shushan. I started three years later than my senior sister. Isn't it right to call you senior sister?"
"Silly boy, have you forgotten who gave you Zhao Yu's name?!" Zhao Ling'er was furious. This was the first time she heard such a title from a servant of the Zhao family.
This is simply outrageous and unimaginable.
After all, all the children who entered Shushan with the surname Zhao were either direct descendants of their Zhao family, or they were once servants and were given the surname Zhao.
But no matter which one, after entering Shushan, they must abide by the rules of Shushan and the rules of the Zhao family.
It was really the first time for her to see someone like Zhao Yu.
"It was given by you, but does it have anything to do with me calling you senior sister?" Zhao Yu said lightly: "I am now an outer disciple of Shushan. This status is greater than that of a former servant of your Zhao family. Some?!"
"of course……"
Zhao Ling'er stopped talking. She knew very well that disaster comes from the mouth and did not dare to say the next words.
Although, in her heart, she believed that her identity as the Zhao family was more important, the Zhao family was just a small family dependent on Shushan for survival.
In order to prevent the master from hearing, Zhao Ling'er said a little aggrievedly: "Of course, the identity of the outer disciple of Shushan is more important..."
"That's alright, Second Young Lady, you summoned me here in such a hurry, aren't you afraid that Mo Cai'er would like me?"
"I thought about it, aren't you just afraid that I won't be able to build the foundation by saying so much?"
"But if that's the case, then Mo Cai'er falls in love with me, then let alone foundation building, I'm afraid the golden elixir won't be a problem either?!"
"In that case, why did you stop me?"
"Unless, Second Miss, you... like me?!"
Zhao Yu said with a smile on his face, but he was helpless in his heart.
What Zhao Ling'er said was indeed correct, and it was indeed for his own good.
But the problem is, he is not an ordinary person.
For ordinary people, if Medicine Valley is a restricted area, that's no problem.
But he doesn't need regular training, he only needs to absorb other people's emotions and obtain energy to practice. The Medicine Valley is a very suitable training place for him.
Because in a normal training place, no one would be willing to talk to him. If he says a word, he will make people feel disgusted.
Therefore, he could only step out of the Zhao family's framework and respond as a fellow disciple of Shushan.
"Zhao Yu, do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhao Ling'er's face turned cold, "You are living in the courtyard arranged by the Zhao family. If you give up your identity as the Zhao family, then you will move to Jiuliufang..."
"It doesn't matter, they are all Shushan outer disciples everywhere..." Zhao Yu shrugged.
Even if the Zhao family gave him the opportunity to enter Shushan, become a disciple of Shushan, and have the opportunity to cultivate immortality.
But he can't give up his hope of climbing for the sake of the Zhao family, right?
For him, the path that ordinary people take is not the path that he should take, so he can't do anything Zhao Ling'er said.
Instead of getting entangled in the future, it is better to tell the truth now to save trouble.
"You...don't you miss Hu Niu?!"
"You said before, I can meet Hu Niu when I have been practicing, but now I haven't seen her. Tell me, what conditions do you mention?!" Zhao Yu smiled and said casually.
Zhao Linger's affairs may not be clear, but he is clear.
After all, Hu Niu didn't talk about Zhao Linger in the letter.
Therefore, Zhao Yu also touched Zhao Linger's character.
Knowing that this woman likes to be intimidated, she doesn't see Hu Niu now. It is probably the probability that she told Hu Niu again, so that they could not meet.
"you……"
Zhao Linger was disassembled, and he was a little embarrassed and angry, and said fiercely: "Really noble, Tiger Niu no longer loves you ..."
"We came out of the task this time, and there was a brother named King Kong who was traveling ..."
"Although he is only a nine -layer of gas, he is a grandson of an inner elder ..."
"The most important thing is that he likes Tiger Niu!"
"If Hu Niu follows him, let alone build the foundation in the future, even if it achieves Jin Dan, it is very possible!"
When Zhao Linger said this, there was a feeling of sourness in her heart.
After all, the biggest backer of the Zhao family is just an internal deacon, that is, the practice of the Jindan period.
Originally, she intends to pass Zhao Yu and slowly find a way to let Hu Niu dilute Zhao Yu.
Who knows that Zhao Yu directly showed his cards and did not recognize the Zhao family, but only recognized the identity of Shushan's disciples.
This is a good thing for her.
"Yes, then I congratulate her!"
Zhao Yu smiled lightly. He experienced so many years and had too many women. Hu Niu was just one of them. It was not a big deal to let go.
"you……"
Zhao Linger took a deep breath.
She often listened to Hu Niu said that Zhao Yu was good, and thought that Zhao Yu was really like Hu Niu. The two loved each other. Now it seems that Hu Niu is wrong.
"You are really a scum!"
Zhao Linger said coldly, "Go, move to Jiuliufang, don't see Hu Niu in the future ..."
Zhao Yu heard the words, shook his head, and turned away.
For him, it doesn't matter where he lives.
I wanted to see Hu Niu. In fact, even if Zhao Linger didn't say, he planned to tell Tiger.
The two of them are inappropriate.
After all, the woman who followed him would not be too good.
Especially in the future, he may have to do some dangerous things. The existence of that level, let alone Hu Niu, even Shushan, may not be able to cover it.
Therefore, Zhao Linger's words made Zhao Yu Chang relieved.
Zhao Yu returned to the residence. Zhao Ming and Zhao Yi did not practice in the yard this time, but practiced in their respective rooms.
Zhao Yu did not say hello to them, took his own salute, and left the yard straight.
After going to Jiu Liufang, Zhao Yu knew why Zhao's children entered Shushan, and they would still be together.
Jiu Liufang, the feeling of Zhao Yu is like coming to the slum. If it wasn't for the people who came and went, he thought he was going down the mountain.
"It turns out, there is still such a place on the mountain ..."
After some understanding, Zhao Yu was awakened. Most of them came in alone, basically staying in Jiuliufang.
As for where he lived, it was all packed by Zhao Jiahua.
The purpose is naturally to unite the Zhao family and facilitate work together.
In this way, even if the children at the bottom have been promoted, they will not forget the grace of the Zhao family.
Jiuliufang has a total of nine streets. From first -class to nine streams, the best place is the nine streams. As the name suggests, there are nine sources of aura such as streams.
Correspondingly, Jiu Liufang has also been wrapped in a large family. According to the street aura, it is divided into Jiujiao Street. Living in different streets, the spiritual stones that need to be paid are also different.
"Could it be that as a disciple of Shushan, there is no free residence?!"
Zhao Yu was a little blank.
After asking, I knew that the streets were the largest and wider, and there were free living there, and the other eight streets were charged.
"One street, one street ..."
Zhao Yu passed through the bustling area and reached the street. When he arrived at the place, he felt a strong corruption atmosphere.
On the street, there are few people, and people who pass the road occasionally are also godless, such as walking dead.
The most important thing is that when I was in the Zhao family, they were basically young people, but most of them were here, but most of them were middle -aged and elderly people.
Young people like him have hardly seen.
Zhao Yu's eyes were full of curiosity. Similarly, many people here, seeing young people like him appearing here, are full of doubts and curiosity.
When he came to the one -street office, Zhao Yu waited for a long time before waiting for the assistant to the assistant.
"You want to live in the street, where are you living before?"
The people in charge were not unprecedented, and it seemed to come out from somewhere.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, let me see if there is any vacancy ..."
Soon, the manager turned the booklet directly to the back, and after seeing a vacant position, he pointed at your hand, "No. 907, No. 1 Street, No. 1 ..."
"Your identity token shows me ..."
Zhao Yu heard that the token of the waist was handed over.
The assistant manager registered, and let Zhao Yu leave directly.
Looking at the road signs on the side of the road, Zhao Yu was looking for one way. The more desolate, the more dilapidated, the more elderly people met, which made Zhao Yu suspect that he was still not in Shushan.
Not only that, he even found some blood on the street, smelling, very much like human blood.
This made Zhao Yu a little blame. Isn't the disciples from fighting on Shushan? What is the blood?
With a little doubt, Zhao Yu came to the 977th district of Yima Street, but found that there were a lot of things in the room.
"This is……"
Zhao Yu looked up, with a pole in the middle of the room, and several women's underwear hung on the pole.
As he was puzzled, a female voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"who are you?!"
