Chapter 13 The Second Generation of Immortals

Gu Pengcheng was an outer disciple of the previous class of the Alchemy Hall. Coming from an ordinary family, he had wasted three years in the Alchemy Hall and now could only refine a few of the simplest pills.

It’s not that he lacks talent, but that he doesn’t have access to resources.

Alchemists are made by relying on alchemy materials, and the training of each alchemist requires a huge cost.

He watched helplessly as his peers moved higher and higher while he himself could only stay where he was, and he felt extremely anxious.

So this time, Gu Pengcheng spent his savings and snatched the task of teaching new disciples from others.

For some people, being an outer disciple is just a stepping stone. When their cultivation is sufficient, their title will automatically change. And it is this group of people that he wants to make friends with.

As long as he can make friends with this group of people, any little thing that slips through their fingers will be enough for him to use for a while.

When Gu Pengcheng realized this truth, his classmates were already surrounded by people. Even if he wanted to get close to them and act like a dog, they might not be interested.

Fortunately, there is another batch.

"Are there any new disciples coming in?"

When Gu Pengcheng heard the news, he rushed out immediately with a warm smile on his face: "My name is Gu Pengcheng, you can just call me Senior Brother Gu."

"I am responsible for the teaching of new disciples. Come on, I will lead you there."

After saying that, he led the way ahead with some diligence.

"Why are you so enthusiastic? You even came out to pick me up in person."

Lin Yu was a little flattered and couldn't help but start muttering in his heart.

A stranger is so enthusiastic, he can't have any ulterior motives.

Gu Pengcheng led the way while saying something that Lin Yu couldn't understand:
"It must not have been easy for you to be promoted from a menial disciple. In my opinion, the sect's system is still too rigid. Some things can be more flexible."

"Why do we have to divide disciples into different levels according to their talents when they enter the sect? Isn't this discouraging those who have made great contributions to the sect?"

"Some people are born to be the best. Why let them wallow in the mud again?"

As he spoke, Gu Pengcheng looked at Lin Yu in a flattering manner:
"Brother, don't you think so?"

"what"

Lin Yu didn't expect that he would suddenly ask him this. In this world of cultivating immortals, he didn't dare to speak carelessly. He could only say vaguely: "The sect must have its reasons for doing this."

"Yeah."

Gu Pengcheng understood immediately and thought to himself, he is indeed a second-generation immortal, he speaks cautiously: "I am Meng Lang, the sect has established this system, there must be a deep meaning, but I am shallow and can't see it."

One of them was flattering crazily, while the other was confused, and the two soon arrived at the alchemy room.

The alchemy room specially designed for newcomers is very large, about the same size as the main hall of the Foreign Affairs Hall that Lin Yu had just visited. There are hundreds of alchemy furnaces scattered inside.

At this time, nearly half of the hundreds of alchemy furnaces were in use. The flames under the furnaces were red, and many outer disciples were either controlling the fire, sorting medicinal materials, or communicating in low voices. It was a lively scene.

"Brother Gu, have you brought the new brothers here?"

As soon as the two entered, someone on the side of the alchemy room waved at Gu Pengcheng.

When Gu Pengcheng heard the voice, he immediately came over and said, "Here I am, Master Qin, take a look, do you recognize him?"

Qin Ding looked like a young man, and was dressed very elegantly. He was communicating with five other people. The temperament of these six people was obviously very different from that of the other outer disciples.

Moreover, the way they looked at the surrounding disciples was also condescending. Qin Ding seemed to have a very high status in this small group. When he spoke, the others stopped talking and looked over.

Hearing Gu Pengcheng's words, Qin Ding smiled and shook his head: "The sect is too big, there are really quite a few people like us, I can't possibly know them all, just like this brother, I feel very unfamiliar with him."

As he spoke, he bowed to Lin Yu and said, "Brother, since we can officially join the sect at the same time, it is fate. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Ding, and my father is the inner sect elder Qin Dingyu. I don't know what to call you brother, and who is the senior behind you."

After hearing this, Lin Yu finally understood that these people regarded him as the second-generation immortal of the sect.

He had no intention of pretending to be someone else, and he didn't know any high-level people, so he didn't know how to make up a story: "I am just an ordinary cultivator who came from the mortal world. I was lucky enough to break through to the first level of Qi training within a month and was promoted."

The smile on Qin Ding's face faded a little: "Brother, this is meaningless. I have already introduced myself, why are you still hiding it?"

"The one-month promotion period after entering the sect is a path for people like us to rise. How can a mortal who is assigned as a menial disciple, without resources, make a breakthrough within this one month?"

When they first enter the sect, the disciples are divided into different levels according to their spiritual roots and talents. Even the second generation disciples are no exception. But soon, they will be able to improve through cultivation with the help of the resources behind them.

Qin Ding had walked this path before and knew very well how huge the resources would be needed to enable people like them with inferior spiritual roots to break through to the first level of Qi training.

So when Lin Yu said that he was just an ordinary person and could break through on his own, he didn't believe it at all.

"Things like background can be easily found out by checking. There's no need for me to lie."

Lin Yu spread his hands, feeling helpless.

He just wanted to find a way to earn spirit stones and didn't want to get involved in any second-generation affairs.

"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Qin Ding's face turned cold and he said no more. As for checking his background, he didn't take it seriously at all.

For people at their level, changing their entry background is extremely easy.

Some guys with a bad taste who like to play the pig and eat the tiger like to change their background to that of an ordinary person. When they are bullied in the future, they reveal their true identity and use the horrified eyes of others to satisfy their own weird psychology.

The two parted unhappily.

Gu Pengcheng felt a little regretful, and his attitude towards Lin Yu turned a little cold, but he was still enthusiastic.

It was obvious that he, like Qin Ding, thought that Lin Yu was just a second-generation immortal who was unwilling to reveal his identity.

Lin Yi didn't have to wait long before Gu Pengcheng asked everyone to stop what they were doing and began to explain the knowledge of alchemy.

It talks about the refining method of Yuanqi Pill and the precautions during the refining process.

As for the early content, it has obviously been discussed before.

Lin Yu listened to the class carefully and didn't want to miss any content.

"Next, I will demonstrate it to you. Please come closer and pay attention to my every move."

As Gu Pengcheng spoke, he started operating the alchemy furnace in front of him.

He is very methodical and it seems that he has put in a lot of hard work.

Soon, a faint fragrance of elixir emanated from the alchemy furnace.

"It's done."

Gu Pengcheng opened the alchemy furnace. Inside the furnace, there were seven steaming vitality pills and three waste pills that looked like charcoal.
