Chapter 209: Guidance
A cave with a first-class spiritual vein, a fire room that can be used at any time, and a monthly salary of 200 spiritual stones are the benefits that Chen Changsheng received after joining the Seventy-two Island Alliance.
Compared with the treatment of Lingxi Island, this is not very high, but if it were an ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivator, he would probably be happy to death...
In this way, Chen Changsheng wanted to join the Seventy-two Island Alliance for his comfort.
As for his origin...
No one would really check it out even if he made up a distant location.
The most abundant thing in the world of immortal cultivation is secrets, and most immortal cultivators have their own privacy.
Moreover, the Seventy-two Island Alliance now has three leaders, and has formed an alliance with Lingxi Island to jointly deal with the other forces in Longhu. It is not a big deal for people with ulterior motives to join.
For Chen Changsheng, it is already a piece of cake to blend into a force and make friends.
Since entering the world of immortal cultivation, he has successively joined the Song family of Shouyang Mountain, the Huang family of Huangsha Island, the Han family of Lingxi Island, and many other forces in Sanyang City...
Of course, except for the Huang family, which is too weak, the other three families have basically been backstabbed by Chen Changsheng. Now it is the turn of the Seventy-two Island Alliance...
"Fellow Daoist Ye's alchemy skills are really perfect. This Qingxin Pill is round and full of medicinal fragrance. It is really amazing. I am ashamed of myself!"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Gu is so kind. How can I compare with Fellow Daoist Gu with my little Taoist skills? You can refine the Great Peiyuan Pill, but I can only refine the Huangling Pill!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
Gu Shan, a veteran first-level late-stage alchemist in the Seventy-two Islands Alliance, has a good impression of Ye Qing, the incarnation of Chen Changsheng, and often "instructs" him on alchemy techniques...
Chen Changsheng also reciprocates Gu Shan. Although his advice is of no use to Chen Changsheng, he is one of the few people who is willing to help him since Chen Changsheng entered the world of immortal cultivation.
So, Chen Changsheng also occasionally gives Gu Shan some hints and inspirations from the side...
Of course, in order to avoid exposing his identity, Chen Changsheng did not dare to say too much and disguised himself as a first-level mid-stage alchemist with a very solid foundation...
"Although I can refine the Great Peiyuan Pill, it does not mean that I can surpass you in the attainments of the Qingxin Pill!"
"Ye Qing, you are really talented. I am optimistic about you and feel that you have a chance to advance to the second-level alchemist in the future!" Gu Shan said.
"Fellow Daoist Gu is a little exaggerated, right? You yourself have not yet advanced to the second level, but you can still feel that he has advanced to the second level?" Immediately, other alchemists retorted.
"Yes, the second-level alchemists and the first-level are two different levels..."
"Although first-level alchemists like us are rare, they are only slightly higher in status than those cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. However, even the three leaders of the second-level alchemists will be polite and treat each other as equals. They are not at the same level at all!"
"In our entire Seventy-two Island Alliance, there is only one second-level alchemist, the second leader. If one day, I can get advice from the second leader, it will be really beneficial!"
"..."
In the hall, there are a total of eight alchemists sitting, all of whom belong to the Seventy-two Island Alliance!
Originally, most of their alchemists were alchemists trained by the stronger islands among the Seventy-two Islands. The Seventy-two Island Alliance was not very close, and even the so-called leaders were hired at a high price to keep the place in check, and they had no right to govern the Seventy-two Islands.
But since the old leader passed away and the new leader took over, things have changed...
This one, with tough means and clever tactics, has subdued the entire Seventy-two Island Alliance through a series of attacks, and finally handed over the alchemist that his family had worked hard to cultivate...
"The second leader is also a second-level alchemist?" Chen Changsheng said in surprise.
Second-level alchemist?
Really?
What are the origins of the three leaders of the Seventy-two Alliance?
He has not been here for a long time, and has not seen these three so-called leaders yet, and he doesn't even know their names. Everyone calls them the Great Leader, the Second Leader, and the Third Leader...
"Yes, Ye Qing, you are new here and don't know. The alchemy of the second leader is very powerful. He demonstrated it to us on the spot, and he refined the second-level rhubarb pill, which is one of the most suitable pills for the foundation-building ancestors to improve their magic power!" Gu Shan nodded gently.
Foundation-building ancestors, the common name of the Dragon Lake!
"Da Huang Dan... it would be great if I could get some advice from the second leader!" Chen Changsheng pretended to be envious.
"Okay, today's alchemy experience exchange meeting will end here. The alchemy tasks to be delivered next month have also been issued. You can complete them on time. Let's go!"
"Ye Qing, you stay for a while!" Gu Shan waved to everyone.
"Disband, disperse, today's exchange meeting, I have seen Ye Qing's strength, it's not bad..."
"Well, there are many things worth learning in the refining method of Qingxin Dan!"
"What's the use of studying Qingxin Dan in depth? It's still the right way to be able to refine Da Peiyuan Dan!"
"..."
Those alchemists have different opinions on Chen Changsheng. Some are positive, while others are quite disdainful, whether out of jealousy or some other reason...
"Gu Daoyou, you left me alone, what do you want?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Haha, there is no order. You have joined our Seventy-two Islands Alliance for a month. How do you feel?" Gu Shan said with a smile.
"Not bad. Every month, there are a lot of spiritual herbs in the underground fire room to refine pills. I can practice my alchemy skills. There is a cave of the first grade to practice. I can also get a salary of 200 spiritual stones every year. I heard from other Taoist friends that there are occasionally some other small benefits. It is already very good. I am very satisfied!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Well, I can see that you are calm and have no ambitions. Stay here and practice your alchemy skills. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Our Seventy-two Islands Alliance is no longer what it used to be!"
"While refining pills well, don't forget to improve your cultivation. You are still young and have potential. If you can get the approval of the second leader in alchemy, you may have the opportunity to build a foundation in the future!" Gu Shan said meaningfully.
"What? An opportunity to build... to build a foundation? This... Fellow Daoist Gu, although I am new here, I know that the previous leaders of the Seventy-two Islands Alliance seemed to have been hired with money..."
"Later, somehow, three leaders suddenly appeared... Could it be that... the Seventy-two Islands Alliance got a lot of foundation-building pills?" Chen Changsheng said with wide eyes...
He thought of a possibility...
That is the Qingmu Sect Ruins!
The Qingmu Sect Ruins were originally in Longhu Lake, and the Seventy-two Islands Alliance was the most potential force in Longhu Lake. After the ruins were opened, could it be that they gained a lot of benefits from it, so they had three foundation-building masters in succession?
