Chapter 302: Elderly Foundation-Building Monk
"Guyan Pill!"
When these words came out, Min Zhaoxue's eyes lit up, and she looked at Chu Chen with a warm gaze: "Brother Zhou, do you have any extra Guyan Pills? I am willing to buy them with spiritual objects?"
The cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and have the ability to maintain their youth. The speed of aging of their appearance is much slower than that of ordinary people, but it is not constant. When they enter old age, they will also age.
The foundation-building real person and the golden elixir real person cannot escape this fate.
Take the foundation-building real person as an example. The life span is 400 years. Once the age exceeds 300, they can no longer stay young.
Guyan Pill, as the name suggests, has the greatest effect of solidifying the appearance of living beings.
After taking Guyan Pill, the cultivator can maintain the appearance when taking Guyan Pill, and only show old age at the moment before death.
Therefore, countless female cultivators flock to Guyan Pill.
Which female cultivator does not love beauty and does not want to keep the youthful time?
Guyan Pill is rare. As a second-grade top-level elixir, it is as difficult to refine as the foundation-building pill. Only a third-grade or higher alchemist can be sure to refine it.
This is not the main reason why Guyan Pill is hard to find. The real reason is the main medicine for refining Guyan Pill.
Bingpo Yugu Fruit.
A third-grade intermediate spiritual medicine.
It is a waste to refine a second-grade top-level elixir with a third-grade intermediate spiritual medicine, not to mention that Bingpo Yugu Fruit is the main material for refining a third-grade intermediate elixir.
Few cultivators will use it to refine Guyan Pill, which leads to its extreme scarcity.
"That Guyan Pill was obtained from the cave of the predecessors when I fell into the mountains when I was fifty years old. I only have one. Please forgive me, Miss Min."
Chu Chen smiled apologetically.
"So that's the case. It seems that I am not blessed enough and have no chance to get this Guyan Pill."
Min Zhaoxue sighed lightly, but did not doubt what Chu Chen said.
After all, it happened hundreds of years ago. Even if Chu Chen had the Guyan Pill, he would have sold it.
Next, Lord Liehuo encouraged Chu Chen a few more words and gave him a bottle of top-grade second-grade pill as a gift for Chu Chen to become a worshiper of Qingyun Pavilion.
Lord Liehuo's attitude changed slightly, revealing a sense of alienation, so that Chu Chen and Min Zhaoxue would not even mention the matter of becoming a Taoist couple.
Min Zhaoxue's attitude also changed drastically. The charm in her words disappeared without a trace. Her voice was cold and clear, just like the dignified and elegant rumored in the market. She was completely different from before.
This is easy to understand.
The life span of a foundation-building cultivator is 400 years. Once the age exceeds 300, the three elements of spirit, energy and spirit will inevitably begin to slide down from the peak, and the possibility of breaking through the golden elixir stage will be greatly reduced.
Although there are countless opportunities in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are many examples of foundation-building and elixir-forming in old age, such examples are rare. More elderly cultivators have never been able to break through to a new realm throughout their lives.
Chu Chen is over 300 years old, and is already an old foundation-building cultivator, with little hope of achieving the Golden Core.
Under such circumstances, Liehuo Zhenjun and Min Zhaoxue would naturally not bother to recruit Chu Chen.
"There is still a furnace of elixirs being refined in the mansion, so I won't bother you anymore."
After chatting for a while, Chu Chen tactfully said goodbye and left.
"Zhaoxue, this matter was neglected by the master. I didn't know the man's age in advance, and made such a joke. Don't worry, the master will definitely find a suitable husband for you."
After Chu Chen left, Liehuo Zhenjun looked at Min Zhaoxue and said in a deep voice.
The matter of Min Zhaoxue's Taoist partner is not only related to Min Zhaoxue himself, but also to the family behind Liehuo Zhenjun.
Liehuo Zhenjun was born in a small immortal cultivation family. Because he broke through the Golden Core stage, this small family gradually grew and became a Golden Core family, dominating one side.
As Liehuo Zhenjun got older, the family behind him faced a crisis.
If another Jindan Zhenjun cannot be cultivated, Liehuo Zhenjun's family will not be able to maintain its current status and may decline under the suppression of hostile forces.
No one has broken through the Jindan stage in either Liehuo Zhenjun's disciples or Liehuo Zhenjun's family, and cannot protect Liehuo Zhenjun's family.
As a last resort, Liehuo Zhenjun can only seek other ways to cultivate Jindan Zhenjun.
"Trouble you, Master."
Min Zhaoxue also knew this and did not refuse.
With Liehuo Zhenjun's vision, the husband chosen for her must be a prodigy with the hope of Jindan, and with Liehuo Zhenjun's dedicated cultivation, he is likely to become a Jindan Zhenjun.
By then, she will be the Taoist partner of Jindan Zhenjun, and her future is bright.
As for Chu Chen, he has long been forgotten by Min Zhaoxue.
A foundation-building cultivator with exhausted potential, even if he is a top-level second-grade alchemist, she does not look down on him.
Many male cultivators in the market admired her and regarded her as a fairy in their dreams, which made her think highly of herself. She felt that only a genius with the potential of Jindan was qualified to be her husband.
…
"Liehuo Zhenjun failed to refine Taiyin Zengshen Pill and had no hope of becoming a third-grade intermediate alchemist. Therefore, he turned his energy to cultivating younger disciples."
Chu Chen flipped through the information he got from Zhou Mingtang and felt a little amused.
At this time, he understood why Liehuo Zhenjun wanted to match him with Min Zhaoxue.
Whether it was hanging the calligraphy of the great elder of Yuelu Dongtian outside the cave house or seeking a Taoist partner for Min Zhaoxue, the fundamental purpose was to cultivate Jindan Zhenjun.
Chu Chen's previous strength attracted the attention of Liehuo Zhenjun, and the previous incident happened.
Fortunately, he rejected Liehuo Zhenjun on the grounds of age.
Of course.
It was impossible for True Lord Liehuo to believe Chu Chen's one-sided words, and he also tried to test him secretly with his divine sense, but it was covered up by Chu Chen's use of the Destiny Vision Technique and the Dream Marrying Divine Ability.
"With the endorsement of Liehuo Zhenjun, the news that I, the new worshiper of Qingyun Pavilion, am over 300 years old will soon spread. It can be predicted that the interest of various forces in me will be greatly reduced."
Chu Chen took a go-with-the-flow attitude towards this matter.
Since becoming a worshiper of Qingyun Pavilion, various forces have recruited him openly or secretly.
After all, a second-grade top-level alchemist will not be underestimated by any force.
Not to mention, he is also a peak foundation cultivator with the hope of breaking through the Jindan stage.
Once the news spreads, this kind of recruitment will naturally decrease.
...
Just as Chu Chen thought, after the news spread, various forces no longer sent people to recruit Chu Chen.
Sun Siyan personally came to the door and asked Chu Chen. After receiving Chu Chen's affirmative answer, she sighed.
When she recruited Chu Chen before, she also had illusions in her heart, hoping that Chu Chen could break through the Jindan stage. If so, her becoming the head of Qingyun Pavilion would basically be a foregone conclusion.
The support of a Jindan Zhenjun is completely different from the support of a second-grade top-level alchemist.
Sun Siyan did not show any emotion on the surface, and her attitude remained the same as always.
After all, Chu Chen's ability to refine Yuhua Lingye Pill and other elixirs is real.
Five years ago, he refined two Yuhua Lingye Pills, which made Qingyun Pavilion earn a lot of spiritual stones.
Chu Chen never paid attention to the changes in the outside world and devoted himself to cultivation.
While waiting for the news of Green Mother Spirit Copper and Qianjie Silk, he also contacted Zhou Mingtang and planned Qianji Zhenhuan Gong.
Ten years later, he and Zhou Mingtang were familiar with each other, but it was impossible to show such a secret thing as cultivation method to others easily.
Chu Chen was not in a hurry, and he could take it slowly.
It would take decades or hundreds of years to become Zhou Mingtang's close friend, and then he could achieve his goal.
As long as the time was long enough, all vigilance could be eliminated.
