In addition to trying to find the alchemist with excellent alchemy skills mentioned by Hu Guzhu, Cuiyan Valley also took this opportunity to recruit some disciples.
However, Cuiyan Valley has always had strict requirements for recruiting disciples, requiring wood and fire spiritual roots as the main spiritual roots. Wood spiritual roots are suitable for growing spiritual herbs, while wood and fire spiritual roots are suitable for becoming alchemists. This requirement can eliminate a large number of cultivators. Some of them wanted to try their luck, but when they heard this, they immediately left in disgrace.
The two cultivators in charge of recruiting disciples were the two direct disciples of Hu Guzhu, the eldest disciple Sang Shu and the second disciple Wan Siqing, and there were also elders from Cuiyan Valley to assist them. The disciples in the valley all had a tripod on their clothes, which was the symbol of Cuiyan Valley.
Wan Siqing was extremely beautiful. Looking at the monks below who were vying to take the test, she smiled and asked her senior brother beside her: "Senior Brother Sang, are we really going to have one more junior brother or sister this time?"
Hu Ting was obsessed with alchemy and did not like managing worldly affairs. He had limited time to spend on his disciples. After accepting these two direct disciples, he did not plan to accept more unless there were some who he particularly liked. Therefore, Sang Xie and Wan Siqing had a very high status in Cuiyan Valley, even higher than Hu Ting's grandson. After all, everyone knew that it would not be Hu Weiding's turn to be the young valley master. With his qualifications, even with the help of his grandfather, it would be a problem whether he could lay the foundation.
But now there is a person who is acknowledged by their master as having a high level of alchemy skills, and he even said that he wants to take him as his personal disciple if he is of the right age. This makes Wan Siqing feel a little threatened. How can we describe their master? In fact, he is a very casual person who likes to do things his own way. If he likes you, he will spend all his energy to train and teach you. If he thinks you are not talented, he will probably just throw you to someone else to teach, and will only ask about it when he remembers.
Originally, Hu Weicai, this little junior brother, has occupied a lot of the master's attention. If another little junior brother whose alchemy skills are recognized by the master comes in, the status of her, the second senior sister whose alchemy skills are not as good as the eldest senior brother, under the master's seat can be imagined.
Sang She's eyes flickered: "He hasn't shown up yet. It's not that he thinks too highly of himself and doesn't even take our Cuiyan Valley and the master seriously. It's just that he's not young anymore. How could he have the nerve to run to the master. Junior brother is too ignorant. The master had to run out in person to find him, but the junior brother hasn't even shown up until now."
Wan Siqing smiled: "Let's not talk about the junior brother's matter. The master also highly praises the alchemist's alchemy skills. Not only are the medicinal properties of various spiritual herbs blended perfectly, but also there are very few impurities. The quality is better than other high-grade elixirs. We have been learning alchemy from the master for all these years. We really want to meet such a master."
Sang She was unhappy and snorted coldly.
He was known as the best person under the Valley Master in Cuiyan Valley. When he first entered the valley, he showed his excellent talent in alchemy. He would be the second Valley Master Hu in the future. Now that he is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he has already stepped half a foot into the threshold of an eighth-grade alchemist. Ask yourself, which alchemist below the foundation-building stage in Tianlin Continent can be on par with him?
Now he heard the master praise that person with his own ears. He had never heard the master use such words of praise on himself. Sang Shu felt jealous. He had not appeared for a long time, and he felt that this person was just a name. The old master was exaggerating.
Wan Siqing curled the corners of her lips where Sang Shu could not see. She had seen that the eldest senior brother was dissatisfied with the master's praise of that person.
They looked down at the cultivators below, and the cultivators below also looked at them with longing. Even those who didn't know their identities heard from others after they came here. The identity of being the direct disciple of Master Hu was enough to make them envious, not to mention that the eldest disciple was already able to refine eighth-grade elixirs, but he hadn't even built his foundation yet. This kind of talent was worthy of the identity of Master Hu's eldest disciple.
After Gu Yao came here, he also heard a lot of praise and envy from others for Sang He and Wan Siqing. However, it was obvious that one of them was extremely arrogant and disdained the cultivators who came to register for the assessment below, and the other had a nonchalant smile, as if he was watching a group of people acting. In general, he had a general impression of these two disciples of Master Hu.
If he hadn't known Gu Yao's talent in alchemy, Tian Feirong would probably have been envious and jealous like the other cultivators. But now he had the leisure to comment on the two. Apart from other things, the female disciple was very beautiful, and many male cultivators were stunned by her. The female cultivator seemed to enjoy it very much. After she came out for
a while, many male disciples in the valley came to her side and said something to make her laugh from time to time. Chi Changye folded his arms and watched coldly, glancing at the fat boy beside him. Didn't Wei Shao envy them?
Gu Yao immediately raised his ears to listen. He also found that the fat boy's expression was different from others. There was no envy or jealousy, and it seemed that he was a little jealous. He knew Brother Ye very well. If there was no problem, he would hardly take the initiative to communicate with the fat boy.
The little fat boy immediately looked at Chi Changye warily and took two steps back. Tian Feirong, the careless guy, noticed something was wrong and pushed the little fat boy and said, "What are you doing? Do you have a grudge against these two people? Anyway, I think Teacher Fang doesn't like Cuiyan Valley and the Lord Hu, so it's no big deal if you don't like them."
After hearing this, the little fat boy couldn't maintain his original expression. 's expression, showing extreme entanglement, and finally broke the jar and said: "Yes, I just don't like them. If it weren't for my lack of cultivation, I would have wanted to teach them a lesson long ago. What are they?"
Tian Feirong was horrified and quickly took the little fat man out of the crowd. He wiped his cold sweat. Fortunately, no one cared about them at that time, otherwise they would be hunted down by another force.
"You really said that you really don't want to live. You just offended the Beixing Sect and now you are going to offend Cuiyan Valley. I thought I was brave enough, but I didn't expect there would be a person like you, little fat man, I admire you." But next time he goes out, should he keep a distance from the little fat man to avoid being implicated? Tian Feirong seriously considered this possibility.
The little fat man was in a bad mood and said to him, "If you are timid, stay away from me."
"No, little fat man, who are you angry with?" The more Tian Feirong told him to stay away, the more annoyed he became. He went over and put his arm around the little fat man's shoulder. The two of them kept arguing as they walked farther and farther away from the Cuiyan Valley stall.
Gu Yao followed the two of them and looked back in the direction of Cuiyan Valley. He suddenly realized something and lowered his voice to say incredulously, "Brother Ye, you don't suspect that the little fat man is, is that the second-generation rich kid?"
Although the little fat man's face did not match the portrait of Hu Weicai they had seen, there were many ways to change one's appearance in this world. Thinking about the situation at Beixing Sect before, it seemed even more suspicious.
Chi Changye turned his head to look at Gu Yao and smiled: "It's possible. In my opinion, he, the grandson of the valley master, doesn't seem to be having a good time in Cuiyan Valley."
If it was true as the rumor said, the fat guy couldn't have avoided him all the time. From what we have met now, the fat guy's behavior is not very bad. But he was unlucky. He
was accused of stealing elixirs because of Gu Yao's selling of elixirs.
Gu Yao propped up his chin, looked at the fat boy's back, and said, "I can roughly imagine his situation in Cuiyan Valley. Valley Master Hu should have a loving heart for his grandson, but sometimes such love may not bring protection. Alas, especially when his grandson has poor qualifications and is not suitable for refining pills."
Gu Yao had a deep understanding of the cold treatment and harsh treatment suffered by people with poor qualifications. If he had good qualifications, even if he was not loved by his father and hated by his stepmother, his family and the head of the Gu family would have cultivated him well for his talent. It is conceivable that the man values the future of the Gu family more, and other children of the Gu family and even servants would not have the courage to bully him.
I don't know if Valley Master Hu is a careful person. He may not be, otherwise there wouldn't be such a second-generation rich man running away from the valley.
Chi Changye knew that Gu Yao was thinking about his own experience, and reached out to touch the top of Gu Yao's hair.
Gu Yao raised his head and smiled. He had many more years of experience, and he had medicine and mental strength to rely on. He was not a useless person as others said, so he would not have such emotions. However, it is indeed a sad thing for people with poor qualifications to be born in this world of the survival of the fittest.
When he has enough strength in the future, maybe he can try to promote his transformation medicine, at least to benefit some monks.
Well, it's decided! Gu Yao silently cheered himself up in his heart.
The little fat boy had nowhere to go, so he followed Tian Feirong back to the Tian family's inn. Seeing that his younger brother had made another friend not long after, Tian was speechless but relieved. Although the little fat boy's qualifications were also not good, they could take care of each other after entering Tianfu College together.
If everyone in Tianfu College had similar qualifications, Tian felt that it would not be too bad for his younger brother to be in such an environment, at least he would not be hit.
Following this line, Senior Brother Zhou easily found out the background of Gu Yao and the other two, except for the little fat boy, whose origins he could not find out.
The Tian family guards were not so strict, and Senior Brother Zhou easily learned about Gu Yao and Chi Changye's situation from them. After coming back and talking about it, he felt that he had picked up a treasure this time.
"I heard that on their way here, Chi Changye single-handedly killed a horned rhinoceros at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining with a single sword strike. His sword energy was extremely sharp, and the guards of the
Tian family admired him very much." "Gu Yao is a member of a family in the same town as them. He expelled himself from the family. Although that family is good at alchemy, the guards of the Tian family all say that Gu Yao's alchemy skills far surpass those of the Gu family. Look, I bought a Qi-replenishing pill from them at a high price." Senior Brother Zhou took out the pill that he had bought at a high price and presented it to Senior Brother Jiang as a farewell gift.
"As for Chi Changye, I heard that he was picked up from outside the town by the Gu family. He was covered in wounds when he was first picked up, and was mistaken for an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, he is a cultivator, and a very powerful sword cultivator. He has always been inseparable from Gu Yao."
