Chapter 129: Accepting Disciples
"Leader, you have given too many pills, I only need to change one furnace of Gathering Spirit Pill, you can give one medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pill and ten lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills, you don't need to give seven medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pills and five lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills every time. Li Xiaohong took the pill that Ren Xiaoyao handed her, and said with some excitement and some apprehension.
Since Li Xiaohong joined the Autumn Sword Demon Hunting Troupe, she has fully enjoyed the due treatment of the members of the group, and exchanged the pill from Ren Xiaoyao. However, she didn't have any savings of her own, so she only privately asked Ren Xiaoyao to change the pill once a month, and for more than a year, she had already asked Ren Xiaoyao to change the pill fourteen or fifteen times. Every time, Ren Xiaoyao gave him seven medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pills and five lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills.
At the beginning, Li Xiaohong thought that all the members of the group had changed like this, and she didn't ask anything when she was surprised. But later she found out that the proportion of huàn exchanged by other members was much lower than her, and then she realized that she had taken a big advantage of Ren Xiaoyao, so she brought it up when she exchanged huàn pills again. Immortal cultivators are indifferent and pay attention to interests, although she has a certain friendship with Ren Xiaoyao, she always feels that it is a little inappropriate to take advantage of Ren Xiaoyao in this way.
"After all, you and I used to be a demon hunter, and our friendship in the past was okay, how can I be embarrassed to charge for helping you refine the pill, what I give you is the pill that can be refined by the current furnace of elixir, you can accept it." Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, didn't pick up the pill handed over by Li Xiaohong, and said lightly.
Originally, Li Xiaohong was called Brother Ren Xiaoyao Yang before, but since joining the Autumn Knife Demon Hunting Group, Li Xiaohong took the initiative to change his name to the head of the group, and Ren Xiaoyao didn't say anything about it, so she was willing.
"Leader, your alchemy skills are already so skillful, you can refine more than half of the medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pill?" Li Xiaohong asked with a look of surprise. She originally thought that Ren Xiaoyao gave her so many pills as an extra gift, but she didn't expect that Ren Xiaoyao would refine them from a furnace of pills.
You must know that ordinary alchemists can usually only refine ten to twelve lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills, and being able to refine thirteen to fifteen lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills is already the best among ordinary alchemists. And the alchemist who can refine the medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pill has already surpassed the level of ordinary alchemists, and can be regarded as an alchemy master. Ren Xiaoyao can not only refine the medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pill, but also refine half of the medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pill, at least at the level of an alchemy master.
"The pills I can refine are Qi and Blood Pills, Hui Qi Pills and Gathering Spirit Pills, most of the time of these three pills are refining Gathering Spirit Pills, so I have a certain experience in refining Gathering Spirit Pills. If it weren't for the fact that I had come into contact with too few alchemy classics and the low level, and the elixir I had found at the edge of this demon beast forest was not of a high age, I think I would have been able to refine more medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pills. Ren Xiaoyao didn't hide it from Li Xiaohong in alchemy, and said everything he could say.
At the current level of alchemy, Ren Xiaoyao has stayed for more than a year, but no matter how hard Ren Xiaoyao tries, after each furnace of Gathering Spirit Pills is refined, the number of medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pills is only eight at most, and this is still the result of gathering some elixirs of a slightly higher year to refine together, when there are few, there are only five or six. Over the years, Ren Xiaoyao has been collecting alchemy classics, but the alchemy classics collected are extensive and complex, repetitive, and superficial, and the alchemy that Ren Xiaoyao can learn from them is very limited. In Ren Yao's plan, when he left the edge of the demon beast forest, he would go to find a more advanced alchemy.
Hearing that Ren Xiaoyao's alchemy level was more than that, Li Xiaohong was even more surprised, looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a strange expression, and after hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to say again:
"Leader, can you teach me alchemy?"
Coupled with the time in the Xiaofeng Demon Hunting Group, this is the second time that Li Xiaohong has begged Ren Xiaoyao to teach her alchemy. Ren Xiaoyao refused for the first time, and although Li Xiaohong was disappointed, she didn't take it very seriously. This time, after seeing that Ren Xiaoyao's alchemy skills were so high, Li Xiaohong's desire to learn alchemy became even stronger, so he cheekily begged again.
"It takes a lot of time and spirit stones to practice alchemy, and I don't think your qualifications are very good, aren't you afraid that practicing alchemy will affect your foundation?" Ren Xiaoyao did not directly refuse this time, but directly asked another question.
As soon as he heard about building a foundation, Li Xiaohong's expression darkened, and then he said very firmly: "Whether I practice alchemy or not, the possibility of me building a foundation is very small, and I don't care about spending another three or five years." Besides, at present, I only want to practice alchemy, and I can reach five or six lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills in one furnace, as for the higher level of alchemy, I can only wait until I am lucky enough to build a foundation, and I don't think it will take me too much time. ”
"I can teach you alchemy, and I can also spend spirit stones to consume elixirs to cultivate you, but there are conditions, and they are still very harsh conditions, it depends on whether you are willing to accept it. Ren Xiaoyao said.
As soon as she heard that Ren Xiaoyao was willing to teach her alchemy, Li Xiaohong's face was overjoyed, but after hearing that there would be harsh conditions, her face froze and she said, "Commander, let's talk about your conditions first." ”
Seeing Li Xiaohong's determined expression, Ren Xiaoyao's face was also grim, and he slowly said his words.
"Okay, my condition is that either you recognize me as the master, or you worship me as a teacher, no matter which one you choose, I will plant a 'master-servant contract' in you. It's not easy for me to cultivate immortals by myself, and the possibility of building a foundation is very small, so I can't spend my energy on you. Now that I've spent my energy on you, I've got to get something in return. If you consider me to be the master, I will devote myself to cultivating your alchemy and improving your skills in all aspects, accompanied by the fact that I will give you some tasks when needed, which may have some risks. Of course, I'm not going to send you to death for no reason.
If you worship me as a teacher, I will still devote myself to cultivating your alchemy, improving your skills in all aspects, and I will also give you some tasks when needed. Different from recognizing me as the master, after worshipping me as a teacher, after a certain period of time, I will terminate the master-servant contract and return your freedom, and accordingly, I will not give you any other benefits, at most I will give some guidance in alchemy or cultivation. And recognizing me as the master is a lifelong thing, you will be driven by me all your life, and accordingly I will continue to improve your realm and combat effectiveness.
Of course, all the qiē is just an idealized result, if I can't build the foundation, the one qiē is empty talk, if I build the foundation or he is the knot, etc., I will give you different help according to the different choices you choose. At this stage, you and I are both at the tenth level of qi refining, and the only thing I can teach you is alchemy. It's up to you how you choose, if you don't agree, I didn't say all of the above, I can send you a few alchemy books, and I don't care about the rest. ”
Ren Xiaoyao's words undoubtedly gave Li Xiaohong a huge shock, she had thought of worshipping Ren Xiaoyao as a teacher to learn alchemy, but she never thought of recognizing Ren Xiaoyao as the master, let alone being planted with a 'master-servant contract'. This master-servant contract is not an ordinary thing, once the master-servant contract is planted, it is equivalent to life and death at will.
Ren Xiaoyao was wearing a purple gold mask, Li Xiaohong couldn't see Ren Xiaoyao's face, but from Ren Xiaoyao's tone, Li Xiaohong felt that Ren Xiaoyao was serious.
"Can you let me think about it?" Although instinct made Li Xiaohong want to refuse, reason made her say something to think about it.
"I'll give you three days to think about it, and if you don't agree then, you won't have to ask such questions again. After Ren Xiaoyao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pinched the magic trick, leading out a firebird. The appearance of this firebird is clear, and it even emits a slight sound of chirping, and it is constantly circling around Ren Xiaoyao.
This firebird is naturally the effect of the firebird technique. With the improvement of the realm, Ren Xiaoyao's comprehension of spells is constantly strengthening, and many low-level spells are relatively easy to learn. However, Ren Xiaoyao only learned a few auxiliary spells for metallic and earth-attribute spells, and did not study them in depth. Now Ren Xiaoyao is majoring in fire attribute spells, wood attribute spells because Mu Lingqing has given him a lot of wood attribute spells, Ren Xiaoyao has also spent a lot of energy to learn wood attribute spells, but he does not spend as much energy as fire attribute spells. So now it can be said that Ren Xiaoyao's spell cultivation is mainly based on fire-attribute spells, supplemented by wood-attribute spells.
Three days later, Li Xiaohong came to Ren Xiaoyao in private and wanted to worship Ren Xiaoyao as a teacher.
"Have you thought about it?" Ren Xiaoyao asked again. If Li Xiaohong is not sincere, Ren Xiaoyao would rather not, he doesn't want to plant a time bomb around him.
"I've thought it through, and I believe that Master must be very human. If his master is successful in cultivating immortals, I can also follow the light. I know my own situation, if there is no chance, I am almost hopeless to build a foundation, and I believe that worshipping you as a teacher is an opportunity for me. Li Xiaohong's eyes flickered slightly, and then said firmly.
Once Ren Xiaoyao is a teacher, it is a master-apprentice, and it is no longer an equal-generation relationship. Li Xiaohong didn't know whether she was right or wrong to do this, but in the end she chose to do it. Maybe in Li Xiaohong's subconscious, there is no other possibility for him and Ren Xiaoyao at all.
"Okay, then you're ready, I'm going to plant a master-servant contract. After Ren Xiaoyao laid out the Five Elements Clutch Array around him, he then quickly pinched the magic technique with his left hand, and a circular magic seal immediately appeared out of thin air. This circular seal shimmers with blue and white light, and the words master and servant on it constantly flicker alternately in the middle of the seal. This 'master-servant contract' is actually similar to the 'master-servant contract', the difference is that the former is suitable for monks and monks, and the latter is suitable for monks and demon beasts.
Seeing that the 'master-servant contract' had been completed, Li Xiaohong's face was slightly hesitant. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao was not in a hurry to cast a spell, but just kept the magic seal from disappearing, and waited there. After a few breaths, Li Xiaohong took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and completely let go of her guard.
Seeing this, while Ren Yao's mana was running, a small mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, which accurately landed on the word "Lord" on the Dharma seal, and the blood dissipated, and the word "Lord" was bright red. Then, with a gentle push, the law seal floated up, and after reaching the top of Li Xiaohong's head, it slowly merged into his head.
The moment the law seal was integrated, Li Xiaohong's face showed a painful look, and instinctively had a hint of resistance, so the law seal stopped. Immediately, under Li Xiaohong's intentional control, the color of pain disappeared, and Fa Yin Shun merged into Li Xiaohong's head. The 'master-servant contract' was successfully established, and Li Xiaohong fell into a coma, her face pale.
After a while, Li Xiaohong woke up naturally, and her eyes were different when she saw Ren Xiaoyao. Because of the existence of the 'master-servant contract', Li Xiaohong instinctively has a hint of the idea of taking Ren Xiaoyao as her master, but her will is completely autonomous.
"Meet Master!" Li Xiaohong knelt down on her knees and said respectfully.
"Get up, since you worship the master, you always have to give a meeting gift, this top-grade flying spirit sword was obtained a few years ago, and it's useless anyway, it's a pity to change the spirit stone, so I'll give it to you." Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand, and a faint spiritual power helped Li Xiaohong up, and then took out the top-grade flying spirit sword that he had obtained from the head of the unicorn demon hunting group and handed it to Li Xiaohong.
Li Xiaohong saw that it was a top-grade flying spirit sword, which was very important to her at present, and she was surprised and delighted to take over the spirit sword for a while. If he still had a little bit of a grudge about being planted by Ren Xiaoyao in the 'master-servant contract' before, now Li Xiaohong only has pure gratitude when he looks at Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.
"The only other things that can be taken as a teacher are pills, but I don't have much, here are thirty medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pills, you can take them." I can't guide you in your cultivation, these pills should be able to help you increase some of your cultivation. There is also an alchemy furnace here, a Qi and Blood Dan recipe and a hundred copies of the Qi and Blood Dan alchemy materials, take them all. You first enlighten on your own, try to practice on your own, and then I will guide you then. Without waiting for Li Xiaohong's surprise to fade, Ren Xiaoyao took out a lot of things and handed them to Li Xiaohong, and Li Xiaohong, who was so excited that she blushed slightly and accepted everything, and only said the words "Thank you, Master".
This has just finished worshipping the teacher, and the things that Ren Xiaoyao gave Li Xiaohong are higher than all of Li Xiaohong's net worth, which makes Li Xiaohong feel a little helpless because happiness came too suddenly.
The alchemy furnace that Ren Xiaoyao gave to Li Xiaohong was the alchemy furnace obtained from the Five Elements Dao people, and it was the lowest grade. In the past few years, Ren Xiaoyao has led the Autumn Sword Demon Hunting Group to run around and collect a lot of Qi and Blood Pill materials, but Ren Xiaoyao has no time to refine this low-level pill, so he has been putting it in a storage bag. Now that he has accepted an apprentice, he can only teach alchemy, so he gave Li Xiaohong all the materials of the Qi and Blood Pill.
"Remember, you have to keep the matter of apprenticeship secret, in front of other members of the group, you still call me the head of the group, and call me Master in private. Seeing that Li Xiaohong accepted the things he had gifted, Ren Xiaoyao commanded with a stern expression.
"Yes!" Li Xiaohong replied respectfully.
