"Who is that disciple?"
"Just an ordinary outer sect disciple, somewhat arrogant, with sixth-level cultivation of Qi Gathering, but it is said that he has only been a disciple for three years."
"I have been a disciple for three years. It seems that I am a disciple with good qualifications... How old is he?"
"Probably around twenty."
"Twenty? At such an age, he does have some proud qualifications. Where is he?"
"Still in Baicao Valley."
"Is what he said true?"
"Reporting to the elder, I can't lie at this time. I'm afraid no one in the entire Qingzhou Continent can break through that piece of land. It should be the red earth that breaks open on its own. After all, there are such pioneers."
"This boy is good, you can bring him to see me."
"Yes, elder!"
With a creaking sound, the door slowly closed, and the bright sunlight, separated by the landing door, turned the originally bright room into a lifeless one.
At this time, Chu Cheng was talking to Zhang Fei.
"What do you think Hong'er will name when she gives birth to a child in the future?" Zhang Fei asked. He was born as an ordinary commoner and had no more than a few books. Naturally, he asked Chu Cheng, who was born into a princely family.
"Zhang Xiaosan!" Chu Cheng dug up a yellow radish and said casually while nibbling on it.
"Xiaosan? What does this name mean?" Zhang Fei looked admiring.
"The meaning is..." Chu Cheng didn't expect that Zhang Fei didn't know the meaning of this word. Thinking about it, it was another world after all.
"Three...Three refers to the three most respected people: king, father, and teacher. You understand." Chu Cheng said nonsense with a serious face.
"Then why not call him Zhang San?" Zhang Fei asked doubtfully.
"Then he is king, father, and master? I added small characters to show your child's respect for these three types!" Chu Cheng shook his head.
"So that's it! Okay! That's it!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands.
"Yeah! You're welcome." Chu Cheng said with a smile. After a while, he seemed to have a conscience and said hurriedly: "It's better not to use this. Do you want to call me Zhang Bairen?"
"Haha, let's call it Xiao San! The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. Junior Brother Chu is indeed a man of culture!" Zhang Fei refused, very satisfied with the name Zhang Xiaosan.
"Oh! It's my honor to name the children of Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Yan." Chu Cheng felt a little guilty at this time.
"Junior Brother Chu, a deacon is here." Old Meng said at the side.
Sure enough, after a while, a figure flew from the distance.
"It turns out to be Deacon Wang!" Zhang Fei clasped his fists after seeing the person clearly.
"Haha, Brother Zhang has been doing well lately." Deacon Wang cupped his hands, and seeing Old Meng here, he smiled and said, "I've met Senior Brother Meng!"
The deacon of Luoyun Sect is just an inner disciple, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Gathering. Everyone here except Chu Cheng is at the ninth level of Qi Gathering, not to mention Old Man Meng, so Deacon Wang naturally has to be polite.
"I went to see them just now, and they have indeed successfully completed their tasks." Deacon Wang said.
"Hahaha! We can finally go out." Although Zhang Fei completed the task, he was very excited when he heard Deacon Wang say this.
Yan Hong's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she never thought that she would be able to go out one day. But Old Meng has been here for more than fifty years and is not very excited.
Deacon Xia smiled slightly, took out four black signs and said, "Here are two hundred contribution points, take them."
Chu and Cheng each took a sign.
"Would it be better to break the Qi Pill when we get out, or the secret book?" Chu Cheng thought in his mind, hesitating between the two.
"Thank you so much, Deacon Wang!" Zhang Fei thanked him from the side.
"You're welcome, this is what you all deserve." Deacon Wang said.
"Then I'll say goodbye first!" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to leave.
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky again.
"Foundation-building monk!" Chu Cheng's eyes lit up, and the person's aura was that of a foundation-building monk.
"Senior Brother Jin!" Deacon Wang hurriedly saluted respectfully.
The monk surnamed Jin just nodded slightly and said directly: "Who is Chu Cheng?"
Chu Cheng's expression changed as he stood aside. He looked at the monk surnamed Jin. He seemed to have never been in contact with him. Why were you looking for him?
Zhang Fei and the others looked at Chu Cheng.
"Ahem, I've met senior brother! I am Chu Cheng." Chu Cheng had no choice but to stand up and say.
The monk surnamed Jin nodded and said, "Elder Changsun lets you go."
"Elder Changsun?" Not only Chu Cheng was stunned, but Deacon Wang and Old Man Meng were also stunned.
Elder Changsun's real name is Changsuntang, and he is a liquid condensation monk. More importantly, he is one of the three elders in the alchemy hall in Baicao Valley, and his alchemy skills have reached the third level!
Third-grade alchemy masters are only a handful in Qingzhou Continent. But Chu Cheng naturally didn't know who Changsuntang was, he was just a little confused.
"Did he know what happened at night?" Chu Cheng was a little worried.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Chu!" The monk surnamed Jin said with a smile.
Chu and Cheng were all stunned, not understanding what the disciple named Jin meant by what he said. Only Old Man Meng rolled his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Junior brother, we'll find out when we get there!" The monk surnamed Jin said with a smile on his face.
"This... Okay, please excuse me, senior brother." Chu Cheng couldn't refuse, so he had to smile and thank him.
"Goodbye, everyone!" The monk surnamed Jin put away his smile, said to the others, and then flew away.
Chu Cheng sighed and said to Old Man Meng, "Will you wait for me?"
Old Meng nodded, but looked at Chu Cheng with a strange expression. As for Yan Hong and his wife, they naturally would not refuse.
Chu Cheng also flew up and followed the monk named Jin.
The monk surnamed Jin also slowed down in order to take care of Chu Cheng, but he waited for a long time before he saw Chu Cheng.
"Junior brother, do you want me to give you a ride?" The monk surnamed Jin hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Thank you so much, senior brother!" Chu Cheng was a little embarrassed and knew that the other party thought he was too slow.
The monk surnamed Jin smiled, took out a flying sword, silently recited the mantra, and instantly grew bigger.
"You can come up now!" said the monk surnamed Jin.
Chu Cheng nodded, stood up, and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what is this?"
"Oh? This is sword control, but it requires flying equipment." The monk surnamed Jin was stunned when he saw that Chu Cheng, who was on the sixth level of Qi Gathering, didn't even know the sword control technique, but he told him anyway.
The flying speed of the foundation-building monks was indeed very fast. The monk surnamed Jin flew at least three times faster with his sword than Chu Cheng.
Soon, we arrived in front of a cave door.
"Greetings to Elder Changsun, the disciple has brought Chu Cheng!" The monk surnamed Jin stopped in front of the cave.
"Come in!" A voice came from inside the cave.
Chu Cheng followed the monk surnamed Jin and walked in. As soon as he entered the cave, he saw that the back room was full of cabinets with bottles of medicine placed on them. Then I saw a middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk was no more than five feet tall, with a big belly and a large mole at the corner of his eye. He looked like an ordinary person.
But Chu Cheng would not regard him as an ordinary person. Just the aura that the middle-aged monk exuded intentionally or unintentionally made Chu Cheng feel like he was facing a ferocious beast. This person is undoubtedly the liquid cultivator!
"Jin Yan pays homage to Elder Changsun!" The monk surnamed Jin saluted.
"Very good, this is a Heqi pill, take it." The middle-aged monk took out a bottle of pill and handed it to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan's body trembled, and he was slightly excited. Heqi Pill is a pill used by foundation-building monks, which can increase foundation-building cultivation. Unexpectedly, during one of his errands, Elder Changsun gave him a Heqi Pill!
"Thank you, Elder Zhangsun! Then disciple, take your leave!" Jin Yan said knowingly as he took the elixir.
As soon as Jin Yan left, the room became quiet.
Chu Cheng thought for a while, but still saluted the elder Sun as a junior. He said softly: "Disciple Chu Cheng, I have met Elder Changsun!"
The middle-aged monk stretched out his hand to indicate that he did not need to be polite, and slowly said: "How old are you this year?"
"Back to the elder, this disciple is nineteen years old!" Chu Cheng responded truthfully without thinking.
The middle-aged monk patted his belly and said calmly: "Nineteen? Sixth level of Qi gathering, very good, very good!" After a while, the middle-aged monk said again: "I am Chang Sun Tang, do you know the art of alchemy?"
Although Chu Cheng didn't understand why he asked about alchemy, he still replied: "The disciple doesn't know."
"Then do you know the efficacy of the elixir?" Changsuntang asked again.
Chu Cheng naturally knew this and immediately replied: "The elixir can cure diseases and injuries, and can even help our monks improve their cultivation."
Chang Suntang narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Yes, but elixirs are very difficult to practice, and the alchemy master is only one in a million. I think you have the talent to make alchemy, and you are willing to become my teacher! Become a registered disciple? Wait. If you become a second-grade alchemist, you can become my only personal successor!"
Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. It would be great to be a disciple of a liquid condensation monk, let alone an alchemist?
"Disciple is naturally willing!" Chu Cheng hurriedly performed the apprenticeship ceremony. In Luoyun Sect, there is no need to kneel down and kowtow to become a disciple, except for direct disciples.
Changsuntang nodded with satisfaction, walked to the cabinet and took out a blue medicine bottle.
"This is a Qi-Breaking Pill, treat it as a greeting gift from your master."
Chu Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly caught it. This Qi-Breaking Pill is a real timely gift. I was originally debating whether to choose a technique or a Qi-Breaking Pill, but this solved a problem.
"Thank you, Master!" Chu Cheng saluted and thanked.
"This is a book on the basics of alchemy. Just take it and go to the alchemy hall to practice alchemy skills on weekdays." Chang Suntang took out another book with a blue cover, which clearly read "Alchemy Art".
Chu Cheng thanked him and took it, waiting for the master to give him the next item.
Wait, wait...
"Huh? Why don't you leave yet?" Chang Suntang frowned. Since I haven't spoken a word, I have issued an eviction order.
"Ah!" Chu Cheng was stunned. He was still waiting for the gift below. Why did he let himself go now? Where is the spiritual stone? What about the exercises?
"Then disciple resigns?" Chu Cheng still tested it.
After a while, Chu Cheng saw that this master really had no intention of giving him the spirit stone, so he had to leave.
Chu Cheng walked out of the cave and muttered to himself that his master was really stingy. Even Elder Xia Changzhou gave him a lot of spiritual stones. This master didn't even give me one. He was really a tough guy.
Little did he know that the value of a Qi-breaking pill to a Qi-gathering monk was no less than a high-grade spiritual stone.
