"Stepping on medicine is a method of inputting spiritual energy into medicinal materials through the soles of the feet for tempering..."
"I would like to state in advance that the task of stepping on the medicine takes a long time and the rewards are small. It is not helpful in improving the realm, but it is effective in refining spiritual energy..."
After Zhao Yu took over the task of stepping on medicine, a dedicated person was responsible for explaining the contents related to stepping on medicine.
"Hello, I would like to ask, what does refining spiritual energy mean?!" This was the first time Zhao Yu heard about stepping on medicine, and he was quite interested.
"The purpose of refining spiritual energy is to accurately control the output and input of spiritual energy..."
"It doesn't have much to do with the improvement of realm, but it can improve combat effectiveness, which will be of some benefit to the path after advancement and foundation building..."
"For many monks, practicing by stepping on medicine is just the icing on the cake, or even useless. Only those children of wealthy families who are sure to be promoted to the foundation building stage will practice..."
The person in charge of the task of stepping on the medicine was quite conscientious. From Zhao Yu's clothes, he could see that he was just an ordinary disciple. After several reminders, he hoped that Zhao Yu could retreat despite the difficulties.
Unexpectedly, after listening to the introduction, Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
When the person in charge saw this, he didn't try to persuade him. He shook his head and said regretfully: "Everyone has his own destiny, and you choose the path yourself. I just hope that many years later, you won't regret it!"
After that, the person in charge handed Zhao Yu a spiritual tablet and said: "The southernmost part of Wangxian Mountain is the Treading Medicine Valley. You go..."
"Thank you!"
Zhao Yu took the spiritual tablet and left happily.
Looking at his back, the person in charge shook his head and sighed: "Another person who has gone astray..."
When he arrived at Treading Medicine Valley, Zhao Yu found that there were more people here than he thought.
The valley is divided into several areas, and each area has various spiritual fields. There are medicinal materials in the fields, and a group of young men and women are standing and stepping on them enthusiastically.
At the gate of the valley, a woman wearing the uniform of an assistant steward took Zhao Yu's token and asked casually: "Junior brother, how is your cultivation?"
"First level of Qi training!"
"layer?!"
The assistant steward was stunned, and looked Zhao Yu up and down, and found that he was only wearing an ordinary outer disciple's clothes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
However, she had met all kinds of people, so she didn't ask any questions. She pointed to a field not far away and said, "The medicinal materials here are relatively low-level and more suitable for monks like you..."
"Stepping on medicine is very simple. Use the spiritual energy on the soles of your feet to temper the medicinal materials. Each medicinal material needs to be tempered more than nine times. At least one medicinal material must be tempered every day..."
Zhao Yu heard this and walked over. This field is not small. There are many medicinal materials in the field. There are already more than ten people stepping on the medicine here.
What made him a little confused was that in other medicinal fields, there were more women than men, with a ratio of almost seven to one.
But in his medicine field, there are more men than women. Except for two girls who look to be fifteen or sixteen years old, the others are all men, and they are not young either, almost twenty years old.
"Here comes another one..."
As soon as Zhao Yu arrived here, he heard someone whispering and looking at him with eyes filled with hostility.
Zhao Yu looked around and found that the men here were all hostile to him. Only the two girls had some teasing and playfulness in their eyes.
Without understanding the situation, Zhao Yu didn't say much and just started trying to take the medicine.
After trying it several times, he found that it was not difficult to step on the medicine. However, with his level of Qi training, he could only refine a medicinal plant to one-fifth of its size if all his spiritual energy was exhausted.
Including the time to restore spiritual energy, it would take him a whole day to refine a medicinal plant nine times.
For other people, it is obviously inappropriate to spend a whole day without practicing and just waste spiritual energy on such things.
But for Zhao Yu, he doesn't need to practice like ordinary people at all, so naturally he can waste a lot of time.
"Sister Cai'er, if you are tired, take a rest. We are willing to wait for you..."
"Yes, sister Cai'er, your medicinal herbs have been tempered five times, and there is enough time left..."
After a period of observation, Zhao Yu discovered that all the male monks in this medicine field were surrounding one of the two female monks.
Two young female monks, dressed in gold and silver, looked like they were of extraordinary status.
Wearing gold and silver jewelry on them not only does not look tacky, but adds a bit of nobility.
Every time a male monk said something, one of the two female monks, named Cai'er, responded with a smile and said she was not tired, thank you brother.
As for the other female monk, she was speechless and did not respond to other people's words. She only occasionally chatted with Cai'er.
Just when Zhao Yu was confused, the conversation between two people in Yaotian next to him came to his ears.
"A group of people who want toads to eat swan meat..."
"The granddaughter of the inner sect elder has never seen anything in the world, how can she be abducted by them?!"
"Haha, you don't even know the true meaning of stepping on medicine, so you come here to waste time. You are really stupid!"
There is no doubt that these words were spoken to their medicinal field.
Zhao Yu could hear it, and naturally the people next to him could also hear it. Hearing this, he suddenly became furious.
But no one dared to refute anything, they just immersed themselves in taking medicine, even Cai'er's voice became less flattering.
Zhao Yu did not rush to understand the situation, but observed the situation in the medicine field.
I found that throughout the Medicine Valley and in the medicine fields, the medicine-trapping monks were all wearing outer-style clothing, but they had various gold and silver trimmings and jewelry, which made them look much more advanced.
Zhao Yu has also met the second young lady. Even the second young lady of their Zhao family does not wear such high-profile clothes. At most, she wears a pair of earrings and some bracelets on her hands.
This shows that the status of each of these people is no worse than that of the second lady.
The only exception is the dozen or so male monks in their medicine field.
Judging from the ease with which they stepped on the medicine, their cultivation level was at least the sixth level of Qi training.
As for Cai'er and the girl next to her, judging from their cultivation level, they should be similar to him, they are just practicing Qi at the first level.
"Brothers, what do you think of this medicinal plant I stepped on?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just when the dozen or so male monks were feeling uncomfortable, Cai'er took the initiative to speak out.
Immediately, the dozen or so male monks were all beaming, and they all cheered and praised Cai'er for her good performance.
After all, Zhao Yu has experienced several lives and has a lot of experience. He figured out the situation in just the blink of an eye.
This step on medicine, as the person in charge said, does not make much sense to ordinary people.
Even for many monks in the foundation building stage, the effect of stepping on medicine is better than nothing, which is equivalent to adding 1 point to 100 points.
After all, depleting your spiritual energy will not increase your spiritual energy. Only by practicing normally and following the exercises can you increase your spiritual energy and ultimately achieve the goal of improving your realm.
Therefore, cultivating with medicine is of no benefit to monks in the ordinary Qi training period. Instead, it will only be a waste of time.
But for those children of wealthy families who have no shortage of resources and are sure to be able to practice to the foundation-building stage, practicing medicine is exactly the point of comparison.
In the secular world, the biggest comparison is naturally money.
In the world of immortality, besides money, the biggest comparison is time, talent, and qualifications.
It's like medicine cultivation, it has all the elements. People who don't have money, leisure, qualifications, talent and time simply don't dare to come.
This is like a luxury item. The more useless it is, the more precious it is, the more luxurious it is, and the more worth showing off.
Of course, Zhao Yu knew this because it was actually related to Huniu's letter.
In the past three years, Huniu has told many things about Shushan.
The most important point among them is to be firm in Taoism and pursue cultivation of immortality wholeheartedly.
From her letters, Zhao Yu knew that the various arts of cultivating immortality did exist, but he should not indulge in them, otherwise he would waste his time and cut off his path to immortality.
Especially for children from poor families like them, there is only one path to take on the road to immortality, and that is to focus on realm.
As for other alchemy, weapon refining, talisman seals, formations, etc., they are like wild beasts that cannot be touched.
I don’t know how many allusions and examples there are about those young geniuses who were arrogant about their talents, compared with the children of rich families, and indulged in cultivating immortality and various arts in their early years. In the end, they failed to achieve greatness and disappeared from everyone.
Stepping on medicine can be said to be the foundation of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. The purpose is to better control the input and output of spiritual energy and perform precise and refined operations.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhao Yu. The purpose of his coming here is to obtain energy.
Seeing the lively chat among the people, Zhao Yu also joined in at the right time.
"I'm just practicing Qi at one level, but I still dream of reaching the sky in one step..."
Some people were disdainful, thinking that Zhao Yu was only at the first level of Qi training, so they wanted to take shortcuts like everyone else.
"Haha, Junior Sister Cai'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp..."
Some people who knew Cai'er sneered in a low voice from a distance, feeling that these people really had the wrong target.
"They think that Junior Sister Cai'er is only fifteen years old and that she is at the first level of Qi training and is easy to fool..."
"But who would have known that Junior Sister Cai'er also has the nickname Little Witch..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, her sister is a protector..."
People in other medicine fields in the distance suddenly became quiet, just watching the excitement and no longer meddling in other people's business.
Here, Zhao Yu chatted with everyone for a long time, but there was still no movement. Not to mention a lot of energy, not even a little energy was received.
This made him frown, and he looked at Cai'er and the girl next to her, full of confusion.
A moment later, amid a burst of compliments, Zhao Yu suddenly realized.
The one named Cai'er, according to others, is the granddaughter of a certain inner sect elder. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she is always praised wherever she goes. She has long been accustomed to this, so naturally she doesn't have any mood swings.
Unlike before, most of the women Zhao Yu came into contact with were maids of similar status to him. All of them were full of inferiority complex and had not seen much of the world.
When he praised me, I felt a little happy and couldn't help but feel full of energy.
Zhao Yu touched his chin and became thoughtful.
"Brothers, look at how well this medicinal plant of mine has been trampled. It's shaped like a cloud, just like my name..." Junior Sister Cai'er looked innocent, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Anyone who knows her well knows that she is just teasing these people.
Amid the praise, a discordant voice suddenly came out.
"Why do I look like a piece of shit?"
As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell into silence.
People looked in the direction of the sound, and Zhao Yu said innocently with a hint of innocence in his eyes.
This kid...
"What did you say?!"
"How can you say such things about Junior Sister Cai'er's medicinal materials..."
Some people yelled loudly, and some people were extremely angry.
But some people quietly took a look at the medicinal materials Cai'er held in her hand, and really saw a bit of shit-like appearance in them.
[Anger from Mo Caier, energy +99]
[Shock from Huanglong, energy +699]
【From...】
In just a few seconds, Zhao Yu harvested dozens of energy points. Each energy point was as little as Mo Cai'er's 99 points, or as many as hundreds or nearly a thousand points. In total, it directly exceeded 10,000 points.
This shocked Zhao Yu.
You know, before he became an immortal cultivator, he had accumulated energy for three years, which was only over 100,000. But now, among a group of immortal cultivators, just a casual word has attracted so much energy.
Sure enough, the stronger the person, the more energy they can obtain.
Zhao Yu sighed deeply in his heart, but apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I saw it wrong..."
"Junior Sister Cai'er, you won't blame me, will you?!"
Zhao Yu ignored the others and looked at Mo Caier and asked.
Although Mo Caier was extremely angry, the character she had always shown was that she was gentle and easy to deceive. Compared with what she wanted to do, there seemed to be no need to expose Zhao Yu.
She silently suppressed the anger in her heart, smiled sweetly and said: "Brother was joking, how could Cai'er blame you..."
[Disgust from Mo Caier, energy +99]
Seeing that Mo Cai'er stopped pursuing it, everyone else also gave up.
However, some people were secretly enjoying themselves, thinking that Zhao Yu had no chance.
Next, Zhao Yu would interject a word or two from time to time, and every time, he would gain a huge wave of energy.
Finally, Mo Caier's medicinal materials reached the ninth tempering level.
"Brothers, Cai'er has finished tempering, I'm going home..."
Seeing this, everyone else also expressed that their tempering was complete.
Considering that they were at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, they should have finished tempering it long ago. The reason why they seemed to be so slow was purely to keep talking to Mo Cai'er.
On the other hand, Zhao Yu has only tempered for the fifth time at this moment, and it still needs time.
"Junior brother, please temper yourself slowly!"
At this time, most of the people in the medicine field had left, and only a few people who had not yet finished tempering remained.
After walking out of the Medicine Valley, someone suggested: "Junior sister Cai'er, that Zhao Yu makes you unhappy, why don't you just mention it to the assistant steward and disqualify him from the mission..."
"That's right, he is only at the first level of qi training. It is too reluctant to come here..."
"But, brother, Cai'er is also at the first level of Qi training~!"
"How can he compare with Junior Sister Cai'er? Junior Sister Cai'er is talented and intelligent and will definitely become a fairy in the future..."
Mo Caier shook her head and said, "Isn't this bad..."
She cursed in her mind, if she drove Zhao Yu away, how would she be able to get back her place in the future?
Today, since Zhao Yu came, she felt that her breath was not flowing smoothly and it was not as smooth as before.
Some people wanted to say something, but were stopped by their companions.
"Brothers, Cai'er has gone home, see you tomorrow!"
Seeing that the others did not continue to say anything, Mo Cai'er took her companion girl and left.
"Cai'er, that guy named Zhao Yu offended you so much, aren't you angry?"
The girls who were traveling with her stood up for her and chattered endlessly on the road.
Mo Caier sneered, "Humph, the days are long, wait until I take care of him slowly..."
On the other side, one of the dozen or so monks asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you stop me just now and didn't you take the opportunity to let that Zhao Yu get out?!"
"Haha, haven't you noticed that after Zhao Yu came, the relationship between Junior Sister Cai'er and us has become much closer?"
"It seems like this..."
Someone recalled it and found that this was really the case.
"That Zhao Yu, although he is a bit naive, is a good target and can bring us closer to Junior Sister Cai'er..."
"He's already like that, and there's absolutely no chance of him doing that in the future. Why not keep him and be a stepping stone for us?!"
"It makes sense. Senior brother is still smart. Why didn't I think of it..."
So, a month has passed.
Zhao Yu still goes to the Medicine Valley to practice medicine every day, and from time to time he says a sharper word and harvests a wave of energy.
This period of time was his happiest time. In just one month, he gained nearly three million energy.
This is something I never dared to think about before.
You know, before, it took him three years to harvest 100,000 energy from ordinary maids.
But now, this group of immortal cultivators have harvested three million energy in a month.
According to calculations, the energy Zhao Yu possesses at this moment is enough for him to be promoted to the ninth level of Qi training.
As for how much energy is needed to break through the foundation building period, Zhao Yu doesn't know.
However, he did not blindly improve his cultivation and was still lingering at the first level of Qi training.
After all, according to the plan, he must practice for three years before being promoted to the eighth level of Qi training. As for the ninth level of Qi training, it depends on Huniu's progress.
Only in this way will you not attract the attention of others.
However, after a month of using medicine, Zhao Yu found that there were fewer people in the medicine valley.
Especially the people in their medicine field were missing four or five people.
These people seemed to realize that even Mo Cai'er was not something they could easily win.
It was extremely difficult to take a shortcut and eventually withdrew from the competition.
The other monks, on the other hand, became even more diligent and used various tricks to please Mo Cai'er.
Finally, in the third month, Mo Cai'er couldn't help it anymore and yelled at Zhao Yu with all kinds of fancy names, which was completely inconsistent with the image of a lady she had shown before.
"Auntie, stop pretending. Zhao Yu, you bastard, is pretending to be stupid. Are you just here to piss off my auntie?!"
This sentence directly shocked everyone. Although Zhao Yu felt that there was something wrong with Mo Caier, he did not expect that her personality would undergo a huge reversal.
The other senior brothers were stunned.
"Junior Sister Cai'er, it's not worth it to do this for this kind of person..."
Unexpectedly, when she heard the person next to her talking, Mo Cai'er scolded her directly: "Shut up, you are so old. You don't want to work hard to practice, but you want to fool me, a little girl..."
"Why, if I catch my aunt, you can get the Foundation Establishment Pill?!"
"Are you so easy to deceive as my aunt? These days, my aunt is just playing with you, watching you licking the dog for fun..."
"Sister Cai'er..."
The male monks present were all blushing. Unexpectedly, Mo Cai'er seemed to have changed into a different person and scolded them all.
"Tsk, tsk, did you hear that? I wanted to tell you as early as three months ago, don't be stubborn. Who knows, you didn't understand my hint..." When the others were silent, Zhao Yu suddenly spoke
, with a look of regret.
This made other people feel pain in their balls. They felt that Zhao Yu was bragging, but also felt that he was not lying.
After all, in the past three months, Zhao Yu did not lick Mo Cai'er like them, but instead made all kinds of nonsense, which made Mo Cai'er depressed every time.
From this point of view, it seems that Zhao Yu is really trying to wake them up.
"Go away, you bunch of rubes, I get annoyed when I see you..."
Mo Cai'er became angry and cursed at those male monks.
The male monks around him finally couldn't stand any longer and fled amidst the teasing and ridicule from other medicine fields.
"Haha, the little witch finally showed her true nature. She has endured it for three months, which is longer than I thought..."
"Then that idiot Zhao Yu is here. If he hadn't been there to sing the opposite tune, I'm afraid the little witch wouldn't be able to pretend anymore in a week or two..."
Zhao Yu came to the medicine field to practice medicine as a first-level Qi practitioner, so he naturally attracted some attention, and someone secretly checked his identity.
After discovering that he was just a servant, it became boring.
Naturally, I also learned that his former nickname was Handaner.
"Silly boy, hum, you boy, pretend to be good for me!"
After driving away the others, Mo Caier pulled her best friend to Zhao Yu, stared at him, and said fiercely: "During this period, you have been pretending to be stupid every time, don't think that I
I don’t know, you just came to make me angry..."
"Boy, do you think you can make me fall in love with you in this way?"
"you are too naive!"
In the past three months, Mo Cai'er has also suffered a lot.
At first, they really thought Zhao Yu was a fool.
Later, after realizing something was wrong, I started to analyze again and felt that Zhao Yu might have gone in the opposite direction. While others adopted the strategy of licking the dog, Zhao Yu adopted the strategy of giving in to lust.
The purpose is to pursue her.
Therefore, the two of them kept designing tests, but who knew that Zhao Yu would not succeed every time.
After holding it in for three months, Mo Caier finally couldn't bear it anymore and showed off her cards.
"What is love? What do you mean by letting me have sex with you?!" Zhao Yu asked with a confused look on his face.
These words made Mo Cai'er feel powerless again.
In the past three months, Zhao Yu would do this every time at a critical moment, leaving her with nowhere to use her power.
"Huh, silly boy, let's see!"
Mo Caier angrily pulled her best friend away and left.
Looking at her back, Zhao Yu felt a sense of regret. In the past three months, he had earned tens of millions of energy, and he couldn't care less about it.
Now that Mo Caier is gone, it means that he has to change his harvest target.
There was no one in the medicine field, and Zhao Yu didn't bother to stay any longer. He just finished quenching the medicinal materials and returned to his residence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at his yard, he saw Zhao Yi and Zhao Ming standing in the yard.
"Zhao Yu, you are back..."
"What, is something wrong?!"
Zhao Yu looked at the two of them with some confusion.
These days, he occasionally meets two people. They are all in a hurry to practice, and they rarely have time to chat.
Today, the two of them seemed to have something to do and stood guard in the yard together, as if they were waiting for him.
"The second lady came here just now..."
"Second Miss and the others have returned from their mission. After learning about you, let us inform you to find her..."
There was a trace of helplessness on Zhao Yi's face, "Zhao Yu, your talent is not as good as mine. After entering Shushan, if you don't pay close attention to your cultivation, why are you wasting your time in Medicine Valley?!"
"Don't you know that places like Yaogu are only visited by those from wealthy families?!"
"For people from humble families like us, Yaogu is a forbidden area, and whoever goes there will be destroyed..."
Zhao Ming nodded and said seriously: "You just entered the mountain gate not long ago, so it's understandable that you don't know. You are already eighteen years old now, but you are still only at the first level of Qi training..."
"It will take at least four or five years to reach the ninth level of Qi training. By then you will be twenty-three or four years old..."
"It's my first time to try to build a foundation at this age. It's very difficult to succeed without a foundation building pill..."
"As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is very difficult to obtain it and requires a lot of credit..."
"How much credit do you need for Yaogu's mission?"
"Even if you stay in Medicine Valley for ten years, you still won't be able to get enough credit for the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
"Besides, you can't practice in Medicine Valley..."
Only then did Zhao Yu realize that these two people knew about his cultivation in Medicine Valley.
He nodded and said: "Thank you for your concern, senior brother, I have my own sense of discretion..."
"Okay, as long as you understand!"
The two of them didn't say much and asked Zhao Yu to go to the second lady's place quickly.
…
"Second Miss, please, let me see Fool..."
In another main courtyard, Huniu begged lowly.
"We haven't seen each other for more than three years. I miss him so much..."
"no!"
Zhao Ling'er shook his head and said, "Do you know who King Kong's grandfather is?"
"His grandfather is an elder of the inner sect. It's rare for him to be interested in you. If he knows that you and Zhao Yu are like this, there will be no possibility between you!"
Huniu shook her head and said: "Second Miss, I don't care about this, I just want to be with Han Dan'er..."
"madness!"
Zhao Ling'er was a little angry, "Silly Dan'er is just an ordinary person. Even if you force him into the world of immortal cultivation, so what, he won't be able to go far!"
"Didn't you listen to what my second uncle said just now? Han Dan'er has been in Yaogu for the past three months. With his qualifications, going to Yaogu is asking for death..."
"Moreover, the second uncle also said that when Han Daner went to Medicine Valley, he seemed to be planning to get close to the granddaughter of an inner sect elder..."
"Impossible!" Huniu shook her head and said, "I believe Handan'er is not such a person. He loves me very much..."
"hehe!"
Zhao Ling'er sneered and said: "When I went to pick up Han Dan'er and went up the mountain, I specifically asked about his situation at the bottom of the mountain..."
"Do you know what he has been doing at the foot of the mountain in the past three years?"
"What did you do?" Huniu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.
Although she has been sending letters to Zhao Yu for three years, she has never received a reply, and she has no idea what Han Daner's experience has been.
"He has flirted all over Zhao's house and has had affairs with countless women. Do you still think he is still the idiot you once loved?"
"Teasing?!"
Huniu was shocked and a little suspicious, "It's impossible, he is a fool, how could he take the initiative to flirt with a woman?"
"Do you think I'm lying to you?!" Zhao Ling'er said displeased.
"No, Second Miss, I'm not doubting you, it's just that I don't believe that Han Dan'er is such a person..."
Zhao Ling'er shook his head and said: "That's the fact. You can't meet each other unless he can reach the ninth level of Qi training within three years. Otherwise, you should have a good relationship with King Kong honestly..."
Huniu pursed her lips, intending to refuse, but thinking of the Zhao family's care for her since she was a child, and the second lady's life together with her over the years, she finally said nothing.
After all, when I asked Handaner to go to Shushan in the early years, I had already begged the second lady once. If I asked for help again, I would be a little overreaching.
Not long after Huniu left, Zhao Yu arrived at the second lady's yard.
Unlike other people who crowd into one courtyard, the second lady, as a young lady of the Zhao family, naturally has her own courtyard.
"Second Miss, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Yu looked around, but didn't see Huniu's figure, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
To be honest, Huniu has been sending him letters for more than three years, and even a dog has developed feelings for him.
"Zhao Yu, do you know your guilt?"
Zhao Ling'er suddenly stood up, glared, and scolded.
Originally, she planned to catch Zhao Yu off guard.
Normally, when she shouted like this, no matter which immortal cultivator was born as a servant of the Zhao family, they would not be able to withstand it and would kneel down reflexively.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu stood up straight, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Second Miss, what crime do I have?!"
He was very confused, but he didn't know that the second lady was even more confused. She was a little confused as to why Zhao Yu didn't kneel down. Is it so easy to change the conditioned reflex after living as a servant for many years?
Although Zhao Yu's behavior was a bit unusual, she still spoke according to what she imagined in her mind: "Do you know how many resources and costs our Zhao family has spent on cultivating you?"
"Do you know how difficult it is for you to enter Shushan?"
"Do you know how many people dream of entering Shushan to cultivate immortality?!"
"Now, look at yourself, how you wasted this opportunity..."
Zhao Yu looked confused, "Second Miss, why did I waste this opportunity?"
"you……"
Zhao Ling'er was furious, "Didn't Zhao Yi and Zhao Ming tell you?"
"The thing about Yaogu!"
Zhao Yu suddenly realized that he was talking about Yaogu.
He thought that the second lady asked him to come here to meet Huniu.
Zhao Yu shook his head and said casually: "I heard from people that Yaogu can increase the precise control of spiritual power, so I went there to practice..."
"snort!"
Zhao Ling'er snorted coldly and said, "Then you have heard people say that Medicine Valley is a forbidden area for ordinary people. If ordinary people dare to go to Medicine Valley, ninety-nine out of a hundred will be destroyed?"
"heard……"
"Then you still dare to go?!" Zhao Ling'er said in shock.
Zhao Yu said seriously: "I think I am one of those one hundred..."
"you!"
Zhao Linger suddenly smiled, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Even I don't dare to go to Yaogu, and I don't dare to say that I am one of the hundred people in Yaogu. How dare you?!"
"Why can't I dare?" Zhao Yu asked doubtfully.
Zhao Ling'er was speechless by him. After a long while, she reorganized her words and said, "Don't you know what your qualifications are?"
"You and I are both eighteen years old. I have now reached the eighth level of Qi training, and you are still practicing the first level of Qi..."
"Do you know that with your qualifications, or even my qualifications, if you want to advance to the foundation building stage, you must take the foundation building pill, otherwise there is little hope?!"
She said earnestly: "Silly boy, you have been in Shushan not long ago and you don't know many secrets..."
"The road to cultivating immortality is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat..."
"People who cultivate immortality are very interested in their qualifications. Those with the most outstanding talents can reach the ninth level of Qi training before the age of eighteen, and have a chance to naturally break through the foundation building stage..."
"If the breakthrough fails, they will have to rebuild for several months. With the Foundation Establishment Pill, they can successfully enter the Foundation Establishment stage..."
"Those with lower qualifications, even if they don't have the chance of natural promotion, or the chance is slim, relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill, they can still try to establish the Foundation two or three times before the age of thirty..."
"What's the thirty-year-old deadline?" Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted.
Only then did Zhao Ling'er smile slightly, realizing that everything had returned to her own rhythm.
She explained: "The thirty-year-old limit is an unspoken rule for us cultivators..."
"It means that most immortal cultivators, if they have not broken through to the foundation building stage when they are thirty years old, they will basically have no chance to break through in this life..."
"This also means that every step before the age of thirty is important..."
"For example, I am currently at the eighth level of Qi training, and I have already begun to prepare to earn credit and exchange for foundation-building pills..."
"With the merits left by my predecessors in the Zhao family and the discount brought by my age, I want to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, and the price is as low as 10%..."
"But even so, I still need to work hard for nearly a year and complete tasks non-stop to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
"What about you?"
"The potential is not as good as mine, and you are older than me. When you reach the ninth level of Qi training at the age of twenty-three or four, if you want to redeem the foundation building pill, you will need 30 to 40% of the original price..."
"It's almost as if I'm approaching the age of thirty before I can obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill to try to break through..."
"You have to know that even if you have the Foundation Establishment Pill, you are not guaranteed to succeed..."
"I don't know how many people, even if they have the Foundation Establishment Pill, ultimately fail to establish the Foundation..."
"For me, even if the foundation building fails once, it will take another year to rebuild. With the help of my family, I can still make a second attempt to build the foundation before I am thirty..."
"But what about you?"
"You only have one chance, one chance to break through to foundation building..."
"Once you miss it, your path to immortality will be completely cut off in this life!"
Zhao Ling'er reminded: "This is still based on the fact that you can't make a mistake in one step, practice wholeheartedly, and put all your efforts into practice..."
"If you make the wrong step, it will be a waste of time. For you, you are only at the first level of Qi training. If you don't seize the time to practice, but go to the Medicine Valley to do those exercises that only the disciples of the rich clan can do, you are simply digging your own grave!
"
"Is it so difficult?"
Zhao Yu murmured to himself.
He always thought that cultivating immortality was actually quite easy.
After all, both Hu Niu and the second lady are only eighteen years old, but they have already reached the eighth level of Qi training.
It seems that it is not far from the foundation building.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Zhao Ling'er said, Zhao Yu realized that the first hurdle on the road to becoming an immortal was actually building a foundation. If you cannot build a foundation before the age of thirty, your path to becoming an immortal will basically be cut off in this life.
"It's that difficult, or even harder. After all, what I just said is based on the best and taking every step correctly. In fact, if you can reach the level of training at the age of twenty-three or four as I said,
At the ninth level of Qi, that is really the manifestation of your ancestors..."

"No, I just went to practice!" Zhao Yu denied it flatly. The second lady was very close to Huniu. Inexplicably, he didn't want Huniu to know what he was doing there.
"hehe!"
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said: "The one named Mo Cai'er, I asked, has a nickname called Little Witch. She specializes in using men as playthings. You are not allowed to get involved..."
"Get out now while you are not in deep trouble. Don't go to the Medicine Valley again in the future. Just practice hard..."
"Thank you, senior sister, for the suggestion. Junior brother has his own ideas..." Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted.
These words made Zhao Ling'er stunned on the spot.
"What did you call me?"
"Sister!"
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said: "I am an outer disciple of Shushan. I started three years later than my senior sister. Isn't it right to call you senior sister?"
"Silly boy, have you forgotten who gave you Zhao Yu's name?!" Zhao Ling'er was furious. This was the first time she heard such a title from a servant of the Zhao family.
This is simply outrageous and unimaginable.
After all, all the children who entered Shushan with the surname Zhao were either direct descendants of the Zhao family, or they were once servants and were given the surname Zhao.
But no matter which one, after entering Shushan, they must abide by the rules of Shushan and the rules of the Zhao family.
This was really her first time seeing someone like Zhao Yu.
"It was given by you, but does it have anything to do with me calling you senior sister?" Zhao Yu said lightly: "I am now a disciple of the Shushan outer sect. This status, compared with your former servant of the Zhao family, which one is greater?
Some?!"
"of course……"
Zhao Ling'er stopped talking. She knew very well that disaster comes from the mouth and did not dare to say the next words.
Although, in her heart, she believed that her identity as the Zhao family was more important, the Zhao family was just a small family dependent on Shushan for survival.
In order to prevent the master from hearing, Zhao Ling'er said with some frustration: "Of course, the identity of the outer disciple of Shushan is more important..."
"That's alright, Second Young Lady, you summoned me here in such a hurry, aren't you afraid that Mo Cai'er would like me?"
"I thought about it, aren't you just afraid that I won't be able to build the foundation by saying so much?"
"But if that's the case, then Mo Cai'er falls in love with me, then let alone foundation building, I'm afraid the golden elixir won't be a problem either?!"
"In that case, why did you stop me?"
"Unless, Second Miss, you... like me?!"
Zhao Yu said with a smile on his face, but he was helpless in his heart.
What Zhao Ling'er said was indeed correct, and it was indeed for his own good.
But the problem is, he is not an ordinary person.
For ordinary people, if Medicine Valley is a restricted area, then there is no problem.
But he doesn't need regular practice, he only needs to absorb other people's emotions and obtain energy to practice. The Medicine Valley is a very suitable place for his practice.
Because in a normal training place, no one would be willing to chat with him. If he says a word, he will annoy everyone.
Therefore, he could only step out of the Zhao family's framework and respond as a fellow disciple of Shushan.
"Zhao Yu, do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhao Ling'er's face turned cold, "You are living in a courtyard arranged by the Zhao family. If you give up your identity as the Zhao family, then you will move to Jiuliufang..."
"It doesn't matter, they are all Shushan outer disciples everywhere..." Zhao Yu shrugged.
Even if the Zhao family gave him the opportunity to enter Shushan, become a disciple of Shushan, and have the opportunity to cultivate immortality.
But he can't give up his hope of climbing for the sake of the Zhao family, right?
For him, the path that ordinary people take is not the path that he should take, so he can't do anything Zhao Ling'er said.
Instead of getting entangled in the future, it is better to tell the truth now to save trouble.
"You...don't you miss Hu Niu?!"
"You said before that I can meet Hu Niu when I am in the qi training period, but now I haven't seen her. Tell me, what conditions did you put forward?!" Zhao Yu sneered and said casually.
Others may not know about Zhao Ling'er, but he knows everything about it.
After all, Huniu often talked about Zhao Ling'er in her letters.
Therefore, Zhao Yu also has a clear understanding of Zhao Ling'er's character.
I know that this woman likes to intimidate and lure, but since I don’t see Huniu now, it is most likely that she said something to Huniu again, preventing them from meeting each other.
"you……"
Zhao Ling'er was exposed, and became a little angry, and said fiercely: "To be honest, Hu Niu no longer loves you..."
"We are going on a mission this time, and we are traveling with a senior brother named King Kong..."
"Although he is only at the ninth level of Qi training, he is the grandson of an inner sect elder..."
"The most important thing is that he likes Hu Niu!"
"If Huniu follows him, let alone building a foundation, it is very possible to even achieve a golden elixir!"
When Zhao Ling'er said this, there was still a sour feeling in her heart.
After all, the biggest backer of their Zhao family is just an inner sect deacon, who is at the Golden Core stage.
Originally, she planned to send Zhao Yu away and slowly find a way to make Huniu downplay Zhao Yu.
Who would have known that Zhao Yu would show his cards right away and would not recognize the Zhao family, only recognizing his identity as a Shushan disciple.
This is actually a good thing for her.
"Yes, then I congratulate her!"
Zhao Yu smiled faintly. He had experienced so many lives and had too many women. Huniu was just one of them. Letting go was not a big deal.
"you……"
Zhao Linger took a deep breath.
She often heard Huniu say how good Zhao Yu was, and thought that Zhao Yu was really just like Huniu. They loved each other, but now it seemed that Huniu had made a mistake.
"You are such a scumbag!"
Zhao Ling'er said coldly: "You can go and move to Jiuliufang. I will never see Huniu again..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head, turned and left.
For him, it really doesn't matter where he lives.
Originally, he wanted to see Huniu. In fact, even if Zhao Ling'er didn't say anything, he planned to make it clear to Huniu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They are not suitable for each other.
After all, any woman who follows him will not end well.
Especially since he may do some dangerous things in the future, even Shushan may not be able to protect an existence of that level, let alone Huniu.
Therefore, Zhao Ling'er's words actually made Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yu returned to his residence. Zhao Ming and Zhao Yi were not in the yard this time, but practicing in their respective rooms.
Zhao Yu didn't say hello to them, took his own salute and left the yard.
After going to Jiuliufang, Zhao Yu realized why the children of the Zhao family still stayed together after entering Shushan.
Jiuliufang gave Zhao Yu the feeling that he was in a slum. If the people coming and going were not wearing the clothes of outer disciples and registered disciples, he would have thought that he had gone down the mountain.
"It turns out that there is a place like this on the mountain..."
After some understanding, Zhao Yu finally realized that most of the people who came to worship the mountain alone basically stayed in Jiuliufang.
As for the place where he lived before, it was all bought by the Zhao family at a large price.
The purpose is naturally to unite the Zhao family so that they can work together.
In this way, even if the children at the bottom become successful, they will not forget the kindness of the Zhao family.
Jiuliufang has a total of nine streets, from first-class to nine-stream. The best place is Jiuliu. As the name suggests, there are nine sources of spiritual energy like streams.
Correspondingly, Jiuliufang has already been contracted by a certain big family. It is divided into nine streets according to the spiritual energy of the streets. Living in different streets requires different spiritual stones.
"Does it mean that, as an outer disciple of Shushan, there is no free accommodation?!"
Zhao Yu was a little confused.
After inquiring, I learned that the first street is the largest and most extensive. It is free to live there, while the other eight streets are charged.
"One street after another..."
Zhao Yu walked through the bustling area and went straight to the first street. When he arrived, he felt the strong smell of corruption.
The streets were sparsely populated, and the people who occasionally passed by were all dull-eyed, like walking zombies.
The most important thing is that when I was at the Zhao Family Courtyard before, most of the people I met were young people, but here, most of them were middle-aged and elderly people.
Young people like him are almost never seen.
Zhao Yu looked at the others with eyes full of curiosity. Likewise, many people here were filled with doubts and curiosity when they saw young people like him appearing here.
When he arrived at the First Street Office, Zhao Yu waited for a long time before the assistant manager came.
"You want to live in Yijie, where did you live before?!"
The person in charge was disheveled and looked like he had just come out of somewhere.
"Forget it, I don't care about you, let me see if there is any room..."
Soon, the manager turned the book to the back. When he saw an empty seat, he pointed at it, "No. 907, District 1, Street C..."
"Show me your identity token..."
Zhao Yu heard this and handed over the identity token on his waist.
The assistant steward checked in and asked Zhao Yu to leave directly.
Looking at the road signs on the roadside, Zhao Yu searched all the way. The more he walked, the more desolate and dilapidated he went, and the more elderly people he met. This made Zhao Yu wonder whether he was still in Shushan.
Not only that, he even found some blood stains on the street, which smelled very much like human blood.
This made Zhao Yu a little confused. Isn't it forbidden for disciples to fight on Shushan Mountain? What's the matter with this blood stain?
With some doubts, Zhao Yu came to No. 907, District C, 1st Street, but found that there were many things placed in this room.
"This is……"
Zhao Yu looked up and saw a pole set up in the middle of the room, with several pieces of women's underwear hanging on the pole.
Just when he was confused, a female voice suddenly sounded next to him.
