After Yan Gao Ge's demonstration, He Qi was speechless, "Senior apprentice-uncle Yan's cultivation technique is truly profound, this disciple is full of admiration!"
Yan Gaoge waved his hand and said, "I'm clearly aware of my ability a long time ago. If my Heavenflow Sword Sect is to be ranked first, then the lost Violetflame Heavenly Lightning Scripture is followed by the Skyflame Goldlight Sword.
Apart from this, the cultivation techniques of the various mountains are all roughly equal in power.
My Cloudy Billow Mountain only has the Thousand Illusionary Sword, but we have many alchemy manuals.
I heard that you are also studying alchemy, junior apprentice-nephew He. Today, this Mountain Lord decided to impart you a pill scripture. "
He Qi was overjoyed, "Thank you, senior apprentice-uncle Yan!"
Yan Gao Ge waved his hand, generously taking out a jade scroll, "This is the Profound Flame Pill Scripture, it is more suitable for someone of your level to read. There are over a hundred Soul Traversing Stage pill recipes recorded here.
There are also seven or eight for the Dragon Tiger Stage, and there is also my pill concoction heart!
Pill concoction is a meticulous task that can calm the heart. Junior apprentice-nephew He, your cultivation is progressing rather quickly, so pill concoction can also improve your temperament.
Take this Profound Flame Pill Scripture back to the mountain and study it properly. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to Cloudy Billow Mountain and ask my disciple Zhang Qiling. "
He Qi bade farewell and left the hall. The sky outside was blue and boundless, the sun above his head and the shadow below his feet.
It was noon.
There were a few people chatting outside the Techniques Impartation Hall. The sun was a little fierce, so these people were all wrapped up tightly. Cultivators, after all, once they reached the first level of Spirit Drawing Stage, they would be immune to the natural world's ordinary heat and cold.
He Qi was about to leave when someone saw He Qi coming out and immediately greeted him, "Junior apprentice-brother He, good day!"
Originally, He Qi's cultivation time was extremely tight, and he rarely paid attention to others, especially those who asked for help and wanted to attach themselves to him. He Qi ignored them even more.
This was not because he was arrogant, but because he had no topic, no need, and no time to waste with a bunch of trash.
In order to make those disciples who wanted to attach themselves to him know their place, He Qi usually didn't even smile at them.
When they saw the low-level disciples, their faces were cold and stern. When they saw the disciples of Jilei Mountain and Hundred Battle Pavilion, their smiles gradually faded.
In the beginning, it naturally attracted a lot of criticism behind his back.
For example, being snobbish, looking down on others, being arrogant and conceited, and even harsher accusations such as being lecherous.
He Qi's attitude was very good. He didn't care about those chattering voices. After all, he wasn't a spirit stone that everyone loved.
Fortunately, as He Qi's strength increased rapidly, these mocking voices immediately decreased.
Jealousy was deeply hidden in human nature. If someone who was weaker than you was suddenly stronger than you, you would always feel like there was a thorn in your heart, and it would be very unpleasant.
If you don't want others to be jealous of you, the best way is to quickly grow to a position where they can look up to you. That way, jealousy can quickly turn into worship.
He Qi didn't pay attention to others, but when He Qi saw the person who had stepped forward, the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a very 'sincere' smile.
So this person was Zhang Qiling. Earlier, Yan Gao Ge had even said that if he had any problems with alchemy, he could look for Zhang Qiling.
With just these words, He Qi knew that Yan Gao Ge's attitude was that he hoped that he could get closer to Zhang Qiling.
He Qi looked at Zhang Qiling, seeing how this kid's moon-white robes gave off a feeling of elegance and vigor.
He could tell that this kid had been doing quite well recently.
"Senior apprentice-brother Zhang!"
He Qi replied, "This junior apprentice-brother's news is lacking. Only today did I know that senior apprentice-brother Zhang has become senior apprentice-uncle Yan's personal disciple. A brilliant master produces a brilliant disciple. Senior apprentice-brother's future in the Dao of alchemy is limitless."
Zhang Qiling smiled and said, "Master's Dao of alchemy is the best in the past and present. I have only learned a little bit of it. This is more awe-inspiring than letting junior apprentice-brother subdue demons and devils."
Zhang Qiling definitely didn't stay here just to exchange pleasantries with He Qi. He had other motives.
As expected, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Qiling invited He Qi to his residence for a gathering.
He Qi readily agreed. He Qi was confident that he could suppress Zhang Qiling in a battle of magical powers, but everyone had their own specialties. In terms of alchemy, Zhang Qiling should be much stronger than him.
He Qi was Yan Gao Ge's personal disciple. Also, when the Sect's Mystic Realm opened, Zhang Qiling didn't need to go through tempering as an early-stage Soul Travel Realm core disciple.
It could be seen that Mount Yunlan treated him like a treasure and didn't allow any mishaps to happen to him. Mount Yunlan was probably nurturing him as a future high-tier alchemy master.
Therefore, when he took the initiative to express his goodwill, He Qi immediately accepted.
The two of them flew slowly on their Qi and chatted along the way. Soon, they arrived at a spacious courtyard. This courtyard was decorated with plums, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, pines, maples, and lotuses. It was very well decorated.
Although it couldn't be compared to the noble families in the secular world that occupied thousands of hectares of land, it wasn't inferior to the ordinary Longhu Immortal's residence. It could be seen that the Sect attached great importance to Zhang Qiling.
He Qi was about to praise Zhang Qiling's quiet and elegant residence again when this lad seemed to notice He Qi's envious gaze.
"This used to be the residence of our sect's elder, Beichen Immortal. Due to his advanced age, he returned to his clan last year and left this courtyard empty.
I moved here because it was very quiet. Every flower and grass in this courtyard was nurtured by Beichen Immortal! "
The Tianyan Kenshū was like a secular imperial court that ruled the entire Southern Wilderness.
However, the Sect only accepted elites and didn't accept people who just ate and drank for free. Even the outer disciples who went out often had to have Profound Spiritual Roots.
In order to prevent the Sect from becoming overstaffed, only the descendants of the various mountain masters and Returnance realm experts would benefit from their predecessors and live in the Sect to enjoy the benefits of the Sect.
Therefore, in the Sect, there was no need to pay attention to those with weak cultivation and spiritual roots. However, if they saw someone who was so weak that it made people's hair stand on end, they would not dare to offend them as they had a powerful background.
The other disciples and clansmen were scattered everywhere. This reduced the Sect's expenditure, and it also meant that the Tianyan Kenshū had planted spies all over the Southern Wilderness and nurtured countless subsidiary forces.
However, cultivators were the same as mortals. They had no hope of reaching the Great Dao, and when they were about to pass away, they all had thoughts of returning to their roots. Therefore, Beichen Immortal was like Ye Tianlong of the Hundred Battle Pavilion. He bade farewell to the Sect and returned to his homeland in his old age.
The arcane treasures and arcane tools in the Hidden Sword Mountain were basically left behind by these cultivators when they left the sect.
The two of them entered the residence and four green-clothed maids came forward to greet them. He Qi had seen and experienced the Yin-Yang Great Music Poem yesterday. Although he did not cultivate it, he had learned a little bit of probing techniques. With a single glance, he could tell that these four sixteen or seventeen-year-old pretty maids had lost their yin energy.
He Qi could not help but smile in his heart. Zhang Qiling was no exception. He was also a romantic youth.
Green mountains and clear waters, a luxurious courtyard, and the company of beautiful women. Zhang Qiling's cultivation days were really comfortable.
Zhang Qiling dismissed the four maids and said, "Actually, I've invited junior brother here today not only to catch up with you, but also to ask for a favor."
He Qi had a confused look on his face as he said, "I don't know what I have that Senior Brother Zhang thinks so highly of, that you actually asked me to ask for a favor."
Zhang Qiling smiled and said confidently, "Of course, you can also say that I want to make a mutual transaction with junior brother He Qi. I won't ask for anything first, but I'll show you a treasure first!"
