Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 240 Baimeng’s Visit

On this day, Su Mu had just finished his daily practice and meditation, and was considering whether to refine the extra elixir he had on hand and exchange it for Cai Tianhui.

Unexpectedly, news of Mu Yan's solo visit came from outside.

Recalling that Mu Yan hesitated to speak several times, but because there were outsiders around and it was inconvenient to discuss things, Su Mu felt that the other party should be here just for this matter.

During this period of time, Master Mu Yan and his apprentice had taken good care of him, and their relationship had become closer and closer. Therefore, out of politeness, Su Mu had to put down what he was doing and listen to what the other party wanted to discuss first!

"Brother Su Dao, I came here uninvited and I have to bother you again." Mu Yan smiled sweetly.

Since she was promoted to the Golden Core stage, Palace Master Cang Qing seemed to intend to cultivate her as his successor, so she gradually took over some of the important affairs in the palace.

As for Cang Qing himself, it seems that he has been busy with advancing to the Nascent Soul stage during this period.

In a top force like Lingqiao Palace, even though Cang Qing holds a high position, there are dozens of masters with the same level of cultivation as him.

To be able to practice to this level, one must either have excellent spiritual qualifications or have someone behind him, so even Cang Qing had to run around personally to win support from the sect for Jieying.

Even in Lingqiao Palace, only a small number of people have the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Junior sister, you are very busy now. I'm afraid some people may not be able to see you if they want to!"

Seeing the other party's charming smile, Su Mu slowly began to joke since the relationship was quite close.

"Brother Dao made fun of me again." Mu Yan pretended to be angry and gave Su Mu a plaintive look.

"Forget it, let's not talk nonsense with Brother Tao. The main reason I came here this time is to send a message to Master Wei last time. He received the outer elixir refined by Brother Tao and praised its quality. It happened that he wanted I am preparing for the elixir formation of my beloved concubine, and it is not convenient for me to come to the door in person, so I entrusted me to come to the door to thank Taoist brother."

"Since Master Wei is satisfied, that's the best thing."

After hearing this, Su Mu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the satisfied look on the other person's face, Mu Yan paused and said cautiously:

"Brother Dao, I wonder what your impression is of our Lingqiao Palace?"

Su Mu paused, and a possibility came to his mind.

"Lingqiao Palace is the leader in the East China Sea, and the leader among the major forces is naturally the best."

Su Mu couldn't say anything bad about the other person in front of him anyway.

However, judging from what he has learned over the years, Lingqiao Palace is indeed worthy of being a leader in the cultivation world.

It's also possible that Su Mu didn't come into contact with many monks from Lingqiao Palace, so he didn't see the dirty and domineering side of him.

At least Su Mu knew Cang Qing and others. Before they got to know each other, they might feel that they were not easy to get close to. After all, this was the stereotype of ordinary monks towards disciples of the great sect.

But once we get to know each other, their behavior is quite upright.

Of course, it is also possible that Su Mu's own strength is good. Whether it is cultivation or other skills, Su Mu is no worse than the true disciples of the big sect, so he has gained the respect and admiration of the other party.

However, the ecology in the spiritual world is so naked and direct, and it has become a consensus among everyone.

"Actually, my master has spoken highly of Brother Tao since a long time ago. When I came here this time, I actually accepted Master's order and wanted to invite Brother Tao to join Lingqiao Palace."

Knowing that the other party had a good impression of Lingqiao Palace, Mu Yan stopped beating around the bush and decisively extended an olive branch.

After hearing the other party's direct solicitation, Su Mu's expression remained as usual. In fact, he had made some predictions as early as half a year ago.

Lingqiao Palace is the nominal boss of the East China Sea. It is countless times more powerful than Qingxuan Sect in terms of foundation and strength.

As early as decades ago, Su Mu rejected Qingxuanmen's recruitment. In fact, he felt that the other party's strength was average and could not help him much at that time.

Furthermore, Qingxuan Sect obeys the orders of Lingqiao Palace, and there is a huge thing on its head, making it very inconvenient for all parties to move.

If he insisted on joining a force, from Su Mu's perspective, he would definitely have to find a stronger one, at least at the level of Sannomiya and Gouda.

Among these forces, Lingqiao Palace is the best choice.

However, after so many years of experience, especially after being promoted to a third-level alchemist, Su Mu now does not necessarily need to rely on other forces.

Even if he doesn't join all the forces, he still lives a happy life.

In particular, he has already obtained the Nascent Soul stage technique of the Innate Five Elements Technique from Fuyaozi. As long as he follows the steps, it should not be too difficult to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

By then, Huoxi Island will have the Nascent Soul Lord as its commander, and it will be located between the East China Sea, South China Sea and Kyushu. In this peaceful era, life should not be too beautiful.

Seeing that the expression on Su Mu's face did not reveal the expected surprise, Mu Yan had no choice but to continue:

"Have you ever heard of Baimeng in these years?"

"Baimeng?"

Su Mu thought for a while, as if he had really heard something.

Back then, when he first came to Donghai, Baida Nian seemed to mumble a few times.

Afterwards, Su Mu inquired about some relevant information, and it seemed that the full name of this hundred alliances was the "Alliance of Cultivation and Hundred Arts".

His name is quite loud, but his behavior is extremely low-key. At least in the eyes of ordinary monks, he has almost no sense of existence.

"I've heard of it before, but I don't know much about it."

"Really speaking, the Baimeng has recruited monks with various skills, and their strength is no less than the Nascent Soul forces like the Five Islands in the East China Sea. Based on my understanding of the Baimeng's behavior, Brother Dao can refine the elixir. Even among third-level alchemists, he is a rare talent, and maybe in a while, hundreds of alliances will come to visit."

Strictly speaking, in the early days of the founding of the Hundred Alliance, the main purpose was to gather monks with various skills so that people with the same skills could learn from each other.

Due to the relatively relaxed conditions for recruitment, talents with various skills emerged in an endless stream, bringing vigorous vitality.

For example, some familiar figures from all walks of life were once the backbone of Baimeng.

At that time, the Hundred Leagues were at the height of their power, and their strength was almost as strong as that of Lingqiao Palace. Moreover, because the powerful elders of each branch of the Hundred Leagues had special skills, their influence reached its peak.

Nothing in this world can escape the fate of prosperity and decline. As the strength of Baimeng becomes stronger and stronger, some of the upper-level elders of Baimeng gradually have other thoughts.

At the beginning, they just used their power to appoint others, exclude dissidents, and kick out those they didn't like or all kinds of irritants.

When those people took control of the entire Hundred Alliance, they began to set various rules to select the subordinates who were suitable for their use.

Later, there were some regulations for the monks who were admitted. Not just anyone could get in if they wanted to. Foreign monks like Su Mu can only attract their attention unless they have a third-level skill level or above.

However, those people in the Hundred Alliance have high eyesight, have high self-esteem, and always put on airs when doing things. Therefore, a third-level alchemist like Su Mu would have to wait for more than half a year before being absorbed.

Mu Yan is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, so it is not convenient for her to comment on Baimeng's principles of work in front of Su Mu. She only revealed a little information about the other party's possible recruitment.

Although Su Mu likes an unrestrained, free and peaceful life, if there is a loose organization to accept him, he will not reject it.

In the spiritual practice world, there is a saying that wealthy couples are in the Dharma Ground, and couples are ranked second, which is enough to illustrate the importance of having like-minded Taoist friends to help each other.

With the speed at which Su Mu improves his strength, people like Hu Jinpeng will soon become farther and farther away from each other.

Even if there are hidden methods like Xinghai, practice is not just practice, it also includes many disciplines. If there are experts and seniors who can help me with some pointers, I will be able to avoid some detours.

Su Mu's journey could be described as stumbling, and he almost overturned several times. This was the disadvantage of being alone.

Of course, Su Mu also knows that if you are not related to others, they have no moral obligation to help you.

At this time, he didn't know which one, Lingqiao Palace or Baimeng, was suitable for him.

Mu Yan is a considerate person, and after getting to know each other several times, she has a good impression of Su Mu.

Although she came with the intention of recruiting the other party, she couldn't use force.

With the strength of Lingqiao Palace, there is no shortage of third-level alchemists in the sect. In fact, they are not that eager for outside monks.

The reason why Su Mu caught the eye of Lingqiao Palace was actually because he valued Su Mu's potential. However, if Su Mu had no intention of soliciting in this way, it would only be a pity for Lingqiao Palace. This was the bottom line of Lingqiao Palace.

"Brother Dao, let me first tell you about the recruitment situation in Lingqiao Palace.

First of all, most of the disciples of my Lingqiao Palace have been admitted since childhood. Generally speaking, no one with a certain level of cultivation will be considered. With the only exception, only those who are extremely talented in the various arts of cultivation and have a clean life experience have the opportunity to be invited to the door.

I, the Lingqiao Palace, are very hungry for monks like Taoist Brother.

In terms of cultivation skills alone, even though our Lingqiao Palace has been passed down for a longer time than Baimeng, it is still slightly lacking in this area. If Brother Dao attaches great importance to this aspect, you might consider visiting Baimeng.

However, although my Lingqiao Palace is not as good as the other party in terms of assisting skills, my Taoist brother does not look like a monk who is willing to stay in the Golden Core stage. According to the rules passed down by my Lingqiao Palace ancestor, as long as you make a certain contribution to the sect, or any skill breaks through to the fourth level or above, no matter you are a disciple who has started since childhood or a skilled talent who came in midway, you can get a reward. Baby gift package. "

In fact, with the current status and strength of Lingqiao Palace, as long as it raises its arms and announces that the sect intends to recruit all kinds of talents, I am afraid that the gate will be trampled to pieces. However, Lingqiao Palace is the tyrant of the East China Sea, and every generation has Yuan. The inheritance of the great monks in the later stage of infancy, so there is no need to do this at all.

On the other hand, the monks who can be regarded by Lingqiao Palace must be the best among the best in this field, and ordinary talented people simply cannot reach the standard.

Mu Yan informed Su Mu of some of the systems of Lingqiao Palace in quite detail, which was enough to show how much she valued Su Mu.

Moreover, Mu Yan was not the kind of unreasonable person, and her tone of talking about this matter was extremely friendly. It was more like she was seeking Su Mu's opinion, rather than relying on the strength of Lingqiao Palace.

Su Mu thought about it and immediately understood that no matter how talented he was, for Lingqiao Palace, just being a third-level alchemist was still too small.

If Su Mu was already a fourth-level alchemist, maybe he would show his thirst for talents.

However, in this case, Su Mu thought it would be better to think about it again.

This time, Mu Yan came to the door in person to bring Lingqiao Palace's wishes to her, not to ask Su Mu to make a decision on the spot.

"This matter is too sudden. I am very grateful to Lingqiao Palace for giving me such an opportunity. However, since I am used to living like a wandering cloud and wild crane, I am afraid I have to think about it more carefully. Junior Sister Mu, please rest assured, for my brother I must inform you of the decision as early as possible so that you won’t be caught in the middle.”

Later, Mu Yan privately revealed some of the obligations and rights that a person like Su Mu, who is regarded as an external guest, would have to bear and enjoy after joining Lingqiao Palace.

Generally speaking, it sounds like Lingqiao Palace's management of foreign guests is relatively loose.

Once you join, just complete some commissioned tasks from the sect every year.

Correspondingly, after completing the task, Su Mu can also obtain the corresponding sect's good deeds.

Using these good deeds, Su Mu can go to the sect's scripture collection pavilion and warehouse to exchange for skills or treasures.

In comparison, in name he is an external guest, but in fact he is no different from his disciple.

The only difference is that once there is an attack on the sect from outside, the disciples need to be recruited to fight. As foreign ministers, they usually have special skills, so they only need to ensure some logistical supplies.

Alchemists like Su Mu don't have to go to the battlefield at all. They only need to stay behind and refine some elixirs as required.

"With such generous terms, even if you agree immediately, you won't suffer much loss." Su Mu thought to himself.

"Brother Dao, you're welcome. This matter is indeed of great importance and must be carefully considered. Even if you are an external guest, you are not allowed to betray the sect privately, otherwise you will be treated as a traitor."

After Mu Yan left, Su Mu kept this matter in mind and carefully compared it in his spare time.

At this moment, a Jindan monk came to the door rashly.

After some self-introduction by the other party, I learned that the other party was a well-known traveler in Baimeng who specialized in handling some external affairs.

With Mu Yan's reminder, Su Mu immediately knew the other party's intention.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, the other party took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table.

"Is this the third-level Zhuming Dan that you refined?"

The other party was unsmiling, and when he spoke, it was impossible to determine what his true purpose was.

Su Mu picked it up and looked at it, and said:

"These third-level elixirs are indeed refined here! I wonder what you are doing here?"

In line with the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Su Mu did not scold him angrily, but asked his subordinates to help coordinate.

"You are so brave. You didn't go to the Hundred Alliance to report the refining of third-level elixirs. Instead, you refined them randomly, disrupting the price of such elixirs."

Su Mu heard that the other party didn't seem to be joking, but looked more like he was coming to ask for punishment, so Monk Baizhang was a little confused.

"This fellow Taoist, I have just made a breakthrough in alchemy, and I have never heard of such rules. Moreover, I am not a monk here, but came here from thousands of miles away. If I did something wrong, Regarding the matter, please be more considerate."
