Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples-Chapter 498 - 253: Disciple Magical Battle (Part 3)

Chapter 498: Chapter 253: Disciple Magical Battle (Part 3)

Although the Lingyin Sect is wealthy, the magical treasures and pill furnaces are not something ordinary guardians can enjoy. This arrangement is quite the opposite of the expected difficulty, seeming more like a gesture of goodwill.

"Aunt also said." Zhao Tong took out a jade scroll from his Storage Bag and handed it over, his gaze somewhat evasive, "This is the list of official duties at the Pill Affairs Hall for guardians. You can choose at your own discretion. If there’s anything unclear... you may ask me."

Chen Ye accepted the jade scroll and probed it with his Divine Sense.

A myriad of tasks were listed densely on it, with a complete array of pill formulas. At a glance, Chen Ye saw the Purple Sun Pill, yet he was unable to take on the task.

He turned to look at Zhao Tong and asked, "May I ask Nephew Zhao, if I wish to refine the Purple Sun Pill, how should I obtain the pill formula and materials?"

Zhao Tong said in a low voice, "The formula for the Purple Sun Pill is naturally not open for casual reading. Guardian Chen, you must first refine a certain amount of low-tier pills for our Sect before obtaining a secret formula."

After Zhao Tong’s explanation, Chen Ye gradually understood.

Danxia Peak certainly wouldn’t lay out all the high-tier pill formulas for casual perusal.

Instead, one needs to accumulate a certain amount of contributions, which also serves as a test of an alchemist’s ability before unlocking a high-tier pill formula.

However, for Chen Ye, this was not an issue.

He scanned through the tasks and casually took on the task related to Qi Nourishing Pills.

This task required the refinement of a hundred Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills, to be provided to those disciples with outstanding talents but still young and in the early period of Qi Cultivation.

"Tsk tsk, these sect disciples eat well... But my disciple is not bad either, having consumed one-striped pills from an early age, now without needing Qi Nourishing Pills anymore, even consuming three-striped Qi Nourishing Pills."

Chen Ye felt a sense of pride; at least his disciple wouldn’t lose at the starting line.

After approximately two days of alchemy, Chen Ye successfully refined ten furnaces of Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills.

Zhao Tong had already seen him refining before, so he wasn’t surprised. He merely accepted the pills and helped submit them to the steward.

Seeing Zhao Tong’s departing figure, Chen Ye thought to himself, "This person certainly wouldn’t dare to become my enemy now. But he is narrow-minded and tends to sow discord, spreading unfounded rumors in front of me, causing expressions to change, surely not saying anything good. It’s best to have less interaction..."

With this in mind, after Zhao Tong handed over the Purple Sun Pill formula to him,

Chen Ye merely cupped his hands courteously and said no more, striding away.

On the way back to Luoli Courtyard.

Chen Ye held the jade scroll in his hand, shaking his head and laughing:

"I had thought they would directly give me the pill formula, turns out that those hundred Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pills were said to be a test, but are actually a purchase. Yet it’s still cheaper than the outside..."

However, this alchemy took two days.

Who knows what Luoli Courtyard has become now.

Especially Jin’er, hopefully not experiencing any bullying.

Chen Ye, eager to return home, quickened his pace.

...

Danxia Peak, inside the main hall’s Pill Room.

"Tong’er. Did you manage to foster a good relationship with Guardian Chen this time?"

Zhao Yushuang formed a hand seal with her slender hand, coagulating the liquid in the pill furnace, not forgetting to ask Zhao Tong, who visited.

She intended for Zhao Tong to accompany Chen Ye, hoping they would discard past resentments.

After all, Chen Ye is a promising Foundation Establishment guardian with excellent alchemy skills.

Since they didn’t form a life-and-death grudge, there was no need to be enemies.

Zhao Tong had no idea his aunt was considering his well-being, and immediately covered his face, "That Chen Ye, arrogant and domineering... I repeatedly lowered myself, yet he showed me a bad face."

This wasn’t Zhao Tong speaking nonsense. After Chen Ye entered the Pill Room to refine pills, he indeed treated Zhao Tong as if he were invisible, being reluctant to speak much. But Zhao Tong took it as scorn, harboring resentment.

"Oh?" Zhao Yushuang’s red lips parted slightly, a puzzled look on her face, "That day, I saw Chen Ye as gentle and amiable, treating people kindly..."

"Aunt! In front of you, how dare he be arrogant! Don’t be fooled!"

Zhao Tong said hatefully, when in front of his aunt, Chen Ye was polite when saying goodbye to him.

But today, he merely cupped his hands absently and strolled away!

"This..." Zhao Yushuang knew her nephew spoke reasonably; in this world, many are two-faced.

Assuming that no matter how arrogant Chen Ye was, he wouldn’t dare to be so in front of her.

It’s a pity her nephew suffered the humiliation.

"If this is the case, then you need not attend to him tomorrow." Zhao Yushuang sighed.

Zhao Tong was overjoyed, "Thank you, Aunt! I thought I had escaped from Herb Peak to Danxia Peak, not expecting to encounter this person again... Luckily you care for your nephew, or else I would suffer the humiliation of a petty person..."

If he cannot afford to offend, can’t he at least escape?

Zhao Tong planned, from now on he would stay by his aunt’s side, diligently cultivate, hoping to be in the Inner Sect sooner.

Thus, spending a lifetime without seeing Chen Ye again!

Heh... Nephew, you really thought I was your uncle!
