The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 116 Conversation in the Back Mountain, Cao Rui's Background

The funeral of Elder Feng Yunfan ended smoothly. Cao Rui was leaving with Black Feather. A figure came from behind him and called him. "Cao Rui!" The person was Wu Qingxuan, the head of the Refining Institute.

"How long are you going to stay in Qingling Market?" Wu Qingxuan asked with a frown.

"Don't forget to come back to learn refining!" Wu Qingxuan said earnestly. Since seeing Cao Rui's talent for refining, Cao Rui suddenly stopped coming to the Refining Institute, which made Wu Qingxuan lose his appetite. He wanted to teach all his refining skills to this talented young man.

Cao Rui was a little amused when he heard this. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, Wu, I will come to the Refining Institute to continue to learn from you when I have time!"

Seeing Cao Rui's sincerity, Wu Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, then I will wait for you to come back! Remember to come!" After that, he turned and left.

Cao Rui looked at Wu Qingxuan's receding figure, and felt that he really didn't have enough time.

The black feather of the imperial servant landed in the alchemy courtyard.

Jin Mu and other disciples landed from the black feather and saluted Cao Rui respectfully.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "I will stay in the market for a while, Mengli, Chenyi Alchemy Court will have to rely on you two to support it for a while."

Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi said that it was no problem at all.

Cao Rui stayed in the alchemy courtyard for a few more days, and completed the refining of a batch of Huanglong Pills of the sect, and then set off to return to Qingling Market.

......

Spirit Beast Sect, the back mountain spirit pond.

Lu Jiuxiao came to the spirit pond with a storage bag, and his spiritual consciousness transmitted from the pond to call the beast ancestor.

After a while.

Bubbles emerged from the spirit pond, and with a rumble, the huge dragon head of the beast ancestor wearing black scales poked out of the spirit pond.

The huge and deep blue eyes of the beast ancestor, like two bright lanterns, stared closely at Lu Jiuxiao in front of him. Its deep voice sounded: "Lu kid, what do you want to tell me?"

Lu Jiuxiao smiled, holding a storage bag respectfully in both hands, and handed it to the Beast Ancestor: "Beast Ancestor, this is the equivalent of 200,000 spirit stones prepared for you. According to your request, we have exchanged them all for spiritual medicine for cultivation, hoping to meet your needs."

After speaking, he gently threw the storage bag in his hand to the Beast Ancestor.

The Beast Ancestor concentrated his demonic power and reached out, easily catching the storage bag.

Immediately afterwards, it released a powerful demon consciousness, went deep into the storage bag, and carefully explored the items inside.

As the demon consciousness explored, the Beast Ancestor found that the storage bag was filled with various precious elixirs, including Lingyuan Dan, Qingshuang Dan and Huanglong Dan. A trace of satisfaction flashed in its eyes.

The comprehensive strength of the Spirit Beast Sect today is indeed unable to provide enough Jindan realm cultivation elixirs for the Beast Ancestor.

And Lu Jiuxiao couldn't really take out 200,000 spirit stones to buy outside, because doing so would result in huge losses.

Therefore, Lu Jiuxiao prepared a corresponding number of Qi Refining Stage cultivation pills from the sect's internal warehouse and gave them to the Beast Ancestor.

The Beast Ancestor knew this very well, but he didn't mind. After all, he was also a member of the Spirit Beast Sect.

And for the demon beasts, although the Qi Refining Stage cultivation pills were of lower level, if the quantity was sufficient, they could also play a certain role.

The Beast Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, and his huge eyes flashed with joy.

Then the Beast Ancestor lifted the storage bag on his head, then raised his head and aimed the storage bag mouth at his mouth.

Then, he moved lightly, and the spiritual pills in the storage bag poured out like a mudslide and fell straight into his mouth.

These spiritual pills flowed out of the storage bag continuously, like a river of pills, and the Beast Ancestor opened his mouth and swallowed this torrent to his heart's content.

In less than a minute, the spiritual pills in the entire storage bag were swallowed by the Beast Ancestor.

This storage bag is worth 200,000 spirit stones, and it is filled with precious cultivation pills, but now it is empty...

The Beast Ancestor's appetite is staggering. 200,000 spirit stones of Qi Refining Stage cultivation pills are just his meal.

"Burp." The Beast Ancestor burped.

The Beast Ancestor smacked his lips and savored it, then said with satisfaction: "Hmm? Some of these Qingshuang Pills and Huanglong Pills are of really good quality. They are really delicious. Which alchemist in the sect made them?"

When Lu Jiuxiao heard this, he knew that the Beast Ancestor was talking about Cao Rui.

Cao Rui's alchemy talent is really high.

As long as the pills he made are of ridiculously high quality, if there is a perfect level of spiritual pill, then Cao Rui's is it.

"It's Cao Rui, the new head of the Alchemy Academy of our Spirit Beast Sect. He is a real alchemy genius. He was a casual cultivator before and entered the sect with the beast jade." Lu Jiuxiao replied.

Beast Ancestor nodded: "Not bad, not bad. Finally, there is an alchemist who is worthy of our attention in the sect. However, since he is a casual cultivator, have you investigated his background? If a casual cultivator joins the sect midway, there is a high probability that he is a spy of the demon cultivator. We must carefully clarify his identity."

In the nearly thousand years of memory of Beast Ancestor, he has seen this kind of thing of sect spies countless times.

Lu Jiuxiao nodded in agreement: "Well, we have sent Xu Ye, the head of the Law Enforcement Court, to investigate Cao Rui's background. He was born in a clean mountain village. He was lucky enough to obtain the skills of a casual cultivator and embarked on the road of cultivation. He also spent a lot of time in the ordinary martial arts world of Xiao State."

"He has been trained in the secular martial arts world and is much smarter than the disciples who grew up in the mountain gate of our sect. This is one of the reasons why I am willing to transfer the young Cao Rui to the position of the head of the Alchemy Institute."

The Beast Ancestor heard this and showed a look of understanding.

"I am still confident in your work, Lu boy. Bring Cao Rui to see me and I will give him a gift."

The Beast Ancestor gave a gift? This is rare.

Lu Jiuxiao was happy for Cao Rui when he heard this, and said, "Cao Rui is so lucky to be favored by the Beast Ancestor. However, Cao Rui has been to the Qingling Xiuxian Market thousands of miles away these days. I will let him come to see you when he comes back next time."

The Beast Ancestor blinked his blue eyes: "It's the market near the spiritual mine we conquered last time, right?"

"He is the head of the Alchemy Academy, why is he not staying at the mountain gate?"

Lu Jiuxiao explained when he heard this: "Cao Rui is developing a new spiritual medicine recently. It is easier to mobilize spiritual medicine materials in the market, so he will stay there for the time being and manage the market by the way."

"I see." The Beast Ancestor nodded: "Then do as you say, wait for this kid to come back next time, bring him to see me."

After saying this, the huge dragon head of the Beast Ancestor sank under the spiritual pond.

Lu Jiuxiao bowed slightly to the spiritual pond and flew away.
