After Yu Zhuo led the Zhuoguang Sect members away, Lin Jingyuan then discussed the grudges between the two sects with Li Ze.
"It started as a small matter, but the disciples of the two sects fought more and more fiercely, and before they knew it, they had become enemies. When the disciples of the two sects meet outside, they are bound to be at each other's throats, fighting to the death." Lin Jingyuan sighed, "The Crimson Pill Sect and the Radiant Light Sect are both major sects. The higher-ups of the two sects agreed that cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above could not participate in the battles between the two sects, no matter how much trouble their disciples caused. They also agreed that when facing the Demon Clan, the two sects must temporarily put aside their grudges and unite against the Demons."
After hearing this, Li Ze and the other disciples of Fengyang Sect all fell silent.
"It was just a small matter at first, why didn't you resolve it completely and turn hostility into friendship?" Liu Haozhi asked.
Lin Jingyuan shook his head, "That happened decades ago. Who knows what my senior brothers and sisters were thinking back then? Over the past few decades, both sides have killed many of each other's disciples. Now, if they want to reconcile, neither side will agree."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
This place smells of blood; we can't stay here long. We need to continue our journey. The people from the Crimson Pill Sect and the Sealed Sun Sect are heading in different directions.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, thank you for protecting me all the way. I have found my friend, and I plan to go with him now," Li Ze said to Liu Haozhi.
Liu Haozhi immediately became anxious, "But our senior brother asked you to come with us and entrusted us to take care of you."
“Senior Brother Mo was worried about my safety alone, which is why he let me come with you, but I am no longer alone.” Li Ze said, his expression becoming serious. “Besides, I am not Senior Brother Mo’s Daoist partner. He just helped me out, that’s all.”
Seeing that Li Ze didn't seem to be joking, Liu Haozhi was immediately disappointed. "Really not?"
“No.” Li Ze said firmly.
"Could they develop into a Daoist couple in the future?" Liu Haozhi was still hoping.
Li Ze remained silent.
"Okay, I understand. We're leaving now, take care," Liu Haozhi said.
Li Ze waved his hand, "Take care, everyone."
"I really hate to part with Fellow Daoist He Yu. With him around, I feel more at ease."
"Brother, he's at Qi Refining, and you're at Foundation Establishment. Aren't you ashamed to say that?"
"So what? He can save people from Golden Core cultivators, but I can't. Besides, with him around, we don't need to be afraid of fifth-tier demonic beasts."
"That's true."
"Don't you guys feel better looking at Fellow Daoist He's face every day?"
"Don't even think about it, you're not good enough for her."
"I dare not think about it, I'll just take a look."
........
The disciples of Fengyang Sect went further and further away.
Lin Jingyuan stood beside Li Ze, watching them leave together.
"Senior Brother Mo saved you, how did that happen? Tell me quickly." Lin Jingyuan asked with a gossipy look on his face.
Li Ze said calmly, "I encountered a few rogue cultivators who were trying to rob me. Senior Brother Mo happened to be passing by and rescued me."
"If I rob you, will I rob you of your money, or your virtue? Or both?" Lin Jingyuan asked again.
Li Ze remained silent. How could Lin Jingyuan, a man, possibly think of the words "rape"? Yet, the other party was right.
What is the reason for this?
"Tsk tsk, looks like you've been assaulted." Lin Jingyuan wasn't surprised at all. "Next time you go out, you can wear a mask."
Li Zemu said with a blank face, "That was just a low-probability event."
“No, you underestimate your beauty,” Lin Jingyuan said, then sought confirmation from his fellow disciples, “Don’t you all agree?”
The others nodded. "Fellow Daoist He underestimated his own beauty, and also underestimated the evil of some cultivators."
Along with the disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect, Lin Jingyuan introduced Li Ze to the growth habits and medicinal properties of many spiritual herbs and fruits.
"How about I teach you alchemy?" Lin Jingyuan suggested, and the more he thought about it, the better he felt. "You saved so many disciples of our Crimson Pill Sect. If I teach you alchemy, it will be a good way to repay your life-saving grace."
“You gave me so many high-grade pills, which is enough to repay the debt of saving my life,” Li Ze said.
Lin Jingyuan's face hardened. "Nonsense, my life isn't that cheap."
Li Ze: "......."
"It's settled then." Lin Jingyuan made the decision unilaterally.
Starting that day, Lin Jingyuan indeed began to teach Li Ze alchemy. He first tossed several thick books to Li Ze, saying, "These contain introductions to tens of thousands of spiritual herbs and thousands of spiritual fruits. With your powerful spiritual sense, you should be able to memorize them in a few days."
"Tens of thousands of trees?" Li Ze repeated the number.
“There are still hundreds of thousands more, but since you’re not a disciple of our Crimson Pill Sect, we can’t teach you those,” Lin Jingyuan said. “But it’s alright, these tens of thousands will be enough before you become a fourth-grade alchemist.”
So, for the next few days, Li Ze had to walk, cultivate, and memorize the living habits, medicinal properties, and various uses of different spiritual herbs and fruits in elixirs...
When gathering spiritual herbs and fruits, Lin Jingyuan would provide on-site instruction to the others. Initially, it was just Lin Jingyuan, but later other disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect joined in, each exceptionally enthusiastic, adopting the demeanor of a teacher. Occasionally, when their opinions differed, they would argue on the spot, each expressing their own views, creating a lively atmosphere.
At these times, Li Ze would always listen very attentively. Since he was going to learn alchemy, he was determined to learn it seriously and to the best of his ability.
These disciples may not be advanced alchemists, but their valuable experience is exactly what he needs right now.
After Li Ze finished reading those books, Lin Jingyuan and other disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect taught him various alchemy techniques. A dozen days later, Lin Jingyuan began teaching Li Ze alchemy.
