Translator: 549690339
Green Cloud Peak.
In front of a certain Cave Mansion.
“Uncle Jin.”
As a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and no trace of a cultivator’s Qi appeared, the Foundation Establishment Disciples who were there before quickly bowed and greeted him.
He casually wore a Taoist robe and had his hair in a messy bun, but everyone’s eyes were involuntarily drawn to him.
Uncle Jin?
Liang Sheng was also taken aback when he heard the address. Only a Golden Core Daoist could be called an uncle by a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and others naturally understood this principle. In an instant, Liang Sheng pretended to be as shocked as the others, staring wide-eyed and rendered speechless.
However, Liang Sheng was genuinely curious in his heart, wondering why he and the others were brought here for the Golden Core Daoist to have a look.
Why would a Golden Core Daoist care about a small cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm?
The middle-aged looking Golden Core Daoist was Jin Quanxiu, the Peak Master of Green Cloud Peak. He glanced at Liang Sheng and the others at this time, and then spoke, “So these are the alchemy children you found for me?”
A few Foundation Establishment Cultivators nodded their heads repeatedly, then introduced the backgrounds of these disciples. When they introduced Liang Sheng and the other two, Jin Quanxiu couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.
He had asked the disciples of Green Cloud Peak to help him find a few outstanding alchemy children, actually out of necessity. Because with the situation among the Three Sects and Six Orders calming down, the amount of elixirs in other sects had become somewhat tight due to Dan Ding Sect’s Mountain Closure for decades.
So, a while ago, the other sects of the Three Sects and Six Orders jointly communicated with the Dan Ding Sect’s Leader, wanting to purchase large amounts of elixirs.
Since the Dan Ding Sect wanted to maintain neutrality, at this moment they naturally wouldn’t refuse their request, so Jin Quanxiu and the other Golden Core Daoists were naturally arranged with many pill refining tasks.
Because the situation this time was too sudden, with the other sects needing a wide variety of elixirs in large quantities, the basic preparation work for refining Spiritual Grass before alchemy naturally required a group of people to complete.
So, it was not just Jin Quanxiu; the other Golden Core Daoists were also looking for suitable ordinary disciples to serve them at their respective peaks.
As for why they didn’t ask Foundation Establishment Experts, it would be overkill to have them do such small tasks, wouldn’t it?
Foundation Establishment Disciples also had many pill refining tasks. The work of preparing Spiritual Grass for Alchemy Children was naturally most suited for Qi Refining Disciples, especially lower-level ones who were the most cost-effective.
Hearing the conversation between Jin Quanxiu and Xiao Qin, Liang Sheng and the other two now understood what was going on, didn’t they?
No wonder Chen Xiang had specifically instructed them to remember the names of Xiao Qin and the others when they left the Outer Disciple area. So that was it; this was to let them remember the favor they owed them.
In cultivation, there were also benefactors; this was their own good fortune. However, even now, Liang Sheng and the other two were still a bit confused. They were merely Outer Sect Disciples, but they were about to become alchemy children of a Golden Core Daoist?
At this time, they thought of the envious and jealous eyes of the Foreign Affairs Hall disciples who had come to their cave mansion to look for them before. So that was the reason!
The word “immortal” could be said to be extremely clear. In cultivation, you need to have connections. These connections could be people, your talent, or any favorable factors and good fortune that could be considered advantageous in your cultivation journey.
Jin Quanxiu had originally instructed Xiao Qin and the other Foundation Establishment Disciples to find a group of ordinary disciples to serve as alchemy children for him.
At this time, he suddenly noticed Liang Sheng and the other two mixed in with the ordinary disciples and became interested.
Since Xiao Qin and the others dared to do this, it meant that these three disciples might have some abilities, otherwise, why would they go to such lengths?
Jin Quanxiu understood the actions of Xiao Qin and the others very well. This was an attempt to draw his attention, and after the matter was settled, they would have these three Outer Disciples owing them favors.
Clever people.
Given that, Jin Quanxiu became interested as well. Over the years in the Dan Ding Sect, he had been known for his understanding of human relationships and handling of worldly affairs.
This also made his cultivation journey smooth sailing, so seeing the actions of Xiao Qin and the others, he was willing to give them a chance to show their abilities.
“Alright, since you brought them here, let’s just test their abilities directly to see if they can handle the tasks 1’11 entrust them with.”
Following Jin Quanxiu’s order, some disciples from the Cave Mansion came out with Spiritual Grass. Liang Sheng couldn’t help but admire Jin Quanxiu’s generosity when he saw the Spiritual Grass in his hand.
Lingxi Grass.
What they received was Lingxi Grass, the main material for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Some of the Qi Refining Disciples recognized the Lingxi Grass at this moment, and their faces tightened involuntarily.
Jin Quanxiu didn’t initially intend to use Lingxi Grass to give these disciples a hard time, but since Xiao Qin and the others had done so, he naturally had to exert some pressure.
Wanting to take shortcuts and gain attention in the cultivation path was fine, but if one didn’t have the corresponding strength, it was just superficial.
He would have been sure to succeed in everything he did, and if the disciples chosen by Xiao Qin and the others this time didn’t work out, it would serve as a lesson for them.
You can be worldly-wise, but you have to be sure of your actions.
Although Jin Quanxiu thought so, he didn’t have these disciples refine pills, as that would be unrealistic given their situation. How could they possibly refine Foundation Establishment Pills?
However, if these disciples could successfully prepare Lingxi Grass with their low-level cultivation, they would be considered talented and able to serve as his alchemy children.
Xiao Qin and the others were also sweating at this time, having seen the hint in Jin Quanxiu’s eyes earlier..
