Chapter 143: Teaching

"Grandpa Jie is going to die."

Shan Qin left the dark pavilion worriedly, with uncontrollable fear in her heart.

You must know that the other party is not just a fourth-level alchemist, but also one of the great Nascent Soul monks gathered in the Chamber of Commerce, and is a pillar of the entire Chamber of Commerce.

Outsiders thought that he could still support Nian Xu, but Shan Qin knew that the other party was about to die.

No matter which identity it is, its passing is enough to cause a big earthquake.

After being able to leave, Shan Qin went directly to find his father, Shan Ji, the head of the Gathering Chamber of Commerce.

After telling the other party the details, the latter also sighed repeatedly, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

"Leave this matter to me!"

With these words behind him, Shan Jie's body disappeared from the spot, leaving Shan Qin alone without a trace.

In the dark pavilion, a young monk appeared.

He is tall and thin, wearing a black wide robe that looks like it is hanging on a clothes pole.

The skylight falling from the patio illuminates its face.

His face was fair and elegant, like a teacher in an ordinary private school.

"Brother Shan is here?"

Jie Yuanrui, who was sitting on the rocking chair, opened his eyes and looked at the young Taoist in front of him.

There was a trance in his eyes for a moment, as if he had gone back hundreds of years ago when the other party stood in front of him and spoke loudly to him.

"Qin'er was looking for me, so I came to see Brother Xie,"

Shan Jie stared at the other person's old face, with infinite emotion on his face.

"Brother is really going to die?"

Xie Yuanrui didn't feel the slightest anger at Shan Jie's blunt words about death. The relationship between the two no longer needed such euphemistic words.

"yes."

"About when?"

"at any time."

"Brother Xie, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"No."

······

"Brother, what will the next period of time be like?"

Hearing this, Xie Yuanrui fell into silence slightly, then raised his head and replied:

"I plan to go out for a bit of traveling, and take a look at the alchemist named Wei Zhong."

The other party is about to die. There is no such thing as traveling. It is probably that once he leaves this time, he will never come back. Shan Ji knows this very well.

"Then Wei Zhong really has such potential?"

"Of course, the other party is very young, younger than you and me when we first started the incident."

There was a trace of reminiscence in Xie Yuanrui's eyes.

Wei Zhong, who was practicing far away at the moment, would not have thought that someone would use his youth as one of his advantages.

Since his rebirth, Wei Zhong has always been among the monks in the image of an elderly monk, whether it was the original Yan family, the Qingmu Sect, or even the subsequent Luohe Mansion.

The external image of Wei Zhong is that of an old monk with many years of experience, but now he has a youthful appearance. However, the casual cultivators outside know that Wei Zhong is a well-deserved senior among the monks who have established foundations and achieved elixir formation.

However, Xie Yuanrui thought Wei Zhong was young.

"The other party has just entered the realm of elixir formation. Less than forty years ago, he refined the fourth-level elixir, a full hundred years earlier than I did.

Counting the life span of the other party, he is almost three hundred years old, and he has at least two hundred years to live. Compared with us two old guys, how can we not be considered young? "

Shan Ji present is more than 800 years old, while Xie Yuanrui has lived for more than a thousand years.

In the eyes of the Yuanying monks, Wei Zhong's age of about three hundred years is indeed young.

When Xie Yuanrui compared the ages of Wei Zhong and his two Nascent Soul cultivators, Shan Ji couldn't help but frowned:

"How can this person's ability to form pills be compared to that of our Nascent Soul? I heard from Qin'er that the other person's qualifications are average, but it is very difficult to form pills, let alone Ning Ying after that?"

"Haha, it's just cultivation. Are you worried that a fourth-level alchemist can't pile it up with pills?

The only trouble is to break through to the bottleneck of Nascent Soul. In this regard, don't you have any targeted treasures in your single explanation treasure house? "

Hearing that the other party was making plans for himself, Shan Jie's brows furrowed even deeper:

"This person has no intention of joining our Yunji Chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this kind of opportunity."

"Shan Ji, Shan Ji, it's still as rigid as it was hundreds of years ago.

If you don't choose him, do you still think there is any alchemist in the chamber of commerce who is worthy of this opportunity? "

Shan Ji was silent for a moment, and then replied after a moment:

"I think Du Yun is very good."

Xie Yuanrui laughed:

"I still don't know about the son of that old guy Du Longfeng? It took more than four hundred years, and he is only in the middle stage of alchemy formation, and his alchemy skills are only at the third level.

A single refining of elixirs may not produce even one top-grade pill, which is far from Wei Zhong's 40% top-grade pill.

Where do you qualify for such an opportunity?

Regardless of other skills, I have absolute authority in alchemy. There is no way Du Yun can compare with Wei Zhong. "

"Brother Xie is so confident? Have you never suspected that this person is cheating on me?"

"Humph," Xie Yuanrui let out an unhappy groan.

"Don't look at the craftsmanship of our alchemists and others with your layman's eyes. Based on the elixirs I have seen, Wei Zhong's level is just above the level, and maybe even beyond his description."

"Then I think Wei Zhong is still hiding his strength?"

Xie Yuanrui nodded: "That's probably the case."

Until this moment, there was finally a strange color in Shan Jie's eyes.

"When you and I were casual cultivators, we didn't like to hide our hands when doing things. It's normal for Wei Zhong, who is a casual cultivator, to hide his clumsiness.

It's just that the talent revealed by the other party is enough to surpass Jiuchengjiu Alchemist. "

After thinking for a long time, Shan Ji finally said:

"Brother, do you plan to accept him as a closed disciple?"

Shan Ji couldn't help but guess that Xie Yuanrui was seeking opportunities for Wei Zhong.

"I have some ideas, but with Wei Zhong's casual temperament, I'm afraid he is unwilling."

Xie Yuanrui recalled Shan Qin's description of Wei Zhong and couldn't help but sigh:

"How qualified am I, an old man who is about to die, to accept such a talented person?

You never know when your legs will kick off and you will be gone. You will not be able to fulfill your duties as a teacher! "

"Brother Xie might as well go and persuade him, otherwise he will not have the status of a disciple, and as the leader of the guild, it will be inconvenient for me to explain to the elders in the guild."

"Huh, when will I gather at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss seniority?

If you hadn't been so soft-hearted over the years, why would those old guys have gotten so far?

In my opinion, those people should have been sent to the outer government long ago and excluded from the core of the Chamber of Commerce. They are all relying on their qualifications to pretend to be powerful. "

He cursed angrily and immediately made Shan Ji feel embarrassed.

"After all, they are all fellow Taoists who have built this foundation with us."

"Oh, fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist is the only fellow Taoist. Since the other party has a different intention, he is no longer a fellow Taoist, let alone a fellow Taoist.

I have made up my mind about Wei Zhong and there is no need to discuss it further. Doesn’t it depend on my status to determine the destiny? "

"Brother Jie has this power," Shan Jie's face froze, "That's all, do everything according to what brother wants."

Xie Yuanrui nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Give me a copy of the "Shen Yin Jue" that Shan Yatou obtained from that secret realm."

"This," Shan Jie sighed and took out a jade slip.

The other party's life is short, so naturally he is not asking for it for himself.

After reading the jade slips, Xie Yuanrui added:

"Where is the method of refining the gods burned in it? Don't fool me with half-baked stuff."

Shan Ji hesitated a little and said:

"That god-refining technique has a lot of drawbacks, and it may hinder your practice..."

But before he finished speaking, Xie Yuanrui interrupted:

"It's up to you to identify the shortcomings and disadvantages yourself, so why should we say more?"

Only then did Shan Ji make up for this part of the secret technique.

After Xie Yuanrui confirmed that it was correct, he stood up from the rocking chair, stretched his body, waved his sleeves, and yawned with satisfaction.

Then he looked at the young Taoist in front of him: "Brother Shan, we two brothers will say goodbye right now."

As he spoke, he patted his shoulder and without waiting for a reply, he stepped out of the pavilion and turned into a blue light and disappeared away.

I was left alone, standing next to the bamboo rocking chair, watching it swaying, and left in a trance...

Qingbo Island,

Wei Zhong was inspecting the spiritual works on the island among the spiritual fields. He looked at the spiritual plants growing vigorously in them and nodded with satisfaction.

When he came to the pavilion on the edge of the cliff, Wei Zhong took out the spirit wine and tea, watched the huge waves on the edge of the cliff, and drank comfortably by himself.

Jiucai took various spiritual fruits from the river and caught several kinds of spiritual fish from time to time.

Wei Zhong accepted it with satisfaction and rewarded it with Lingshi Pills. Then a golden flame was raised on the spot and the fish began to be grilled.

Suddenly, the formation token on his waist flashed slightly, causing Wei Zhong's expression to suddenly change.

He looked up and saw an old man with white hair standing in front of his desk.

"You are living a comfortable little life," after saying this, he sat down as if he was familiar with it, grabbed the spiritual fish that Wei Zhong had just grilled, and started to enjoy it.

Wei Zhong looked at this scene with some astonishment and raised his hands:

"I don't know, senior?"

The formation cards just now fluctuated, which proves that he has a very high level of cultivation, at least an expert in the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul.

Wei Zhong asked himself that he had not offended such a high-level monk, so how could such an expert come to his door for no reason?

The person in front of him didn't answer in a hurry. He didn't wipe his mouth until he finished eating the whole spirit fish:

"Good roast."

Then he licked his fingers without any concern for the image:

"By the way, my surname is Jie."

Wei Zhong was slightly startled when he heard this:

"Is it Master Xie Yuanrui from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce?"

"Call me by my name, big or small," although it was a rebuke, there was no trace of blame in his mouth.

"Just call me Jie Lao."

Then he grabbed a grilled spirit fish again and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I've met Mr. Jie. I wonder if you have any important business coming to this junior island this time?"

The other party took a careful bite of the fish, then put it down, waved his sleeves and threw out two jade slips.

Wei Zhongzheng was confused, but the other party had already sent the jade slip to him.

Knowing the meaning, Wei Zhong penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and became even more confused after checking it.

Among the jade slips is a technique called "Shen Yin Jue", which is divided into two parts: controlling puppets and refining gods.

The puppet control part describes in detail all the refining methods from first to fifth level puppets, as well as various methods of controlling puppets.

The other part of the divine refining was a formula of no more than a hundred words. When Wei Zhong checked it with his spiritual sense, he did not notice any surprise.

But as I recited the contents silently in my heart, an inexplicable fear suddenly came from within my consciousness.

He hurriedly broke away, sweat was already forming on his forehead.

He raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him. He had already cooked several spiritual fish, and then he slowly said:

"These two parts are matching secret techniques, obtained from a secret place in Luohe Mansion here."

"Is it the place that the Chamber of Commerce and several other Nascent Soul forces jointly developed over the past ten years?"

Xie Yuanrui nodded: "This secret method is given to you."

Wei Zhong frowned, unable to figure out why this secret method fell into his hands.

"Why me?"

"I am very optimistic about your alchemy skills. I have already passed on my own alchemy experience to you. I don't have any other good things.

I think you have talent in alchemy and tools, and you may be able to make some achievements in puppetry, so I brought this thing to you."

Wei Zhong was even more puzzled. Such optimistic statements could not support the other party's generous behavior.

After all, this puppet inheritance is too precious. The fifth-level puppet refining method is second only to the inheritance of "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" and "Blood Spirit Sutra" in Wei Zhong's hands.

But before Wei Zhong asked, the other party said:

"Show me the alchemy."

When he spoke, he took out a handful of spiritual medicines, some of which were ten thousand year spiritual medicines.

Wei Zhong was impressed by the other party's wealth.

Jie Yuanrui added: "Don't hide your shortcomings when refining the infant pill."

This made Wei Zhong condense, and then he took out the alchemy furnace, picked up the spiritual medicine on the table, and started refining the alchemy on the spot at the cliff.

Xie Yuanrui sat quietly by the side, watching Wei Zhong's entire alchemy process.

Less than a day had passed, and a furnace of elixirs was ready.

Three dark yellow elixirs flew out of the furnace and were caught by Xie Yuanrui.

"Three low-grade elixirs."

After saying this, the other party fell into silence for a moment, and Wei Zhong could not see any emotion on his face.

After a long time, Xie Yuanrui sighed slightly:

"What a pity!"

Wei Zhong was puzzled, and then heard the other party continue to say:

"If you had achieved a fourth-level alchemist a hundred years earlier, I would have accepted you as my apprentice."

Turning to look at Wei Zhong, a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.

"It's a pity that I'm about to die. Even if I accept you, I can't teach you in person and fulfill my duties as a teacher."

Wei Zhong never expected to hear this from him, and he felt like he was struck by lightning.

'This legendary fourth-level alchemist, Yuanying Great Monk, is about to die? ’

Wei Zhong couldn’t believe it: “Senior…”

The other party didn’t say much, waved his sleeves, and directly pointed out the alchemy technique that Wei Zhong had just used.

Wei Zhong calmed down and listened attentively. When he heard the wonderful part, he seemed to have a sense of enlightenment.

In the pavilion, one person spoke and one person listened, and there were voices of questions and answers from time to time.

After a long time, Jie Yuanrui stopped explaining and drank a cup of cold spiritual tea:

“All these contents are in my jade slip. You can verify them with what I said today in the future.”

Wei Zhong nodded, feeling that only a few days had passed, but he had gained more than the previous two or three years.

“Okay, I’ll stop here. It’s up to you to understand it in the future.

In addition, I want to give you a word. Whether it’s the way of alchemy or the way of instruments, it’s not as important as your own cultivation.

In life, nothing is more important than being alive. Don’t be like me, who has exhausted his lifespan and left regrets.”
