Chapter 33: Immortal Family Agreement
In the storeroom of the Alchemists' Guild, Yu Que looked at the yellowed booklet in his hand, thinking for a long time.

This "Ceremony of the Seven Corpses Returning to Their Lamp Lights" is a kind of ritual.

But it is not used to refine the souls of the dead, nor is it used to make external rituals such as substitutes and puppets, but it is a technique used to worship household gods.

Using this ritual can enhance the familiarity between the immortals and household gods, and to a certain extent improve the quality of household gods.

Given the low level of maturity that Yu Que has now with the household god, if he uses this ritual, the relationship between him and the household god will be able to progress to the next level of maturity - great success.

If used multiple times, according to the booklet, this ritual may even raise the familiarity between the immortals and household gods to the third level - perfection.

When the familiarity of household gods and immortals is improved, Yu Que's own soul will be able to gain a lot from it, and this is also the opportunity for him to condense the Yin God!
Yu Que pondered it carefully in his mind, and became more and more eager to act.

However, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he held the booklet, followed the procedures, borrowed the item from the warehouse, and walked towards the backyard of the guild.

He walked around the backyard and easily found Huang Guishan, who was lying in a corner with his eyes closed and resting.

Seeing that Huang Guishan was resting, Yu Que felt embarrassed to disturb him, so he sat cross-legged beside him, flipping through the ritual book in his hand and studying it carefully.

He has not yet become an apprentice in the guild. Although he is an apprentice in the guild, he has no work to do. He has plenty of time to wait here for Huang Guishan to wake up.

What Yu Que didn't expect was that after two hours, when the sun was about to set and the people in the guild had already started to leave, Huang Guishan just woke up on time.

The other person stretched out his body, yawned, stood up shakily, and said in a vague voice: "Let's get off work, let's have some tea first!"

It was not until he took a step that he was surprised to find Yu Que sitting next to him waiting:
"You kid, when did you come here? Why didn't you call me?"

Yu Que looked at the man's belated expression and felt helpless.

He just couldn't believe it. He had been there for so long, and the other party was an experienced cultivator, how could he not notice such a small movement?

However, since this person was pretending to be asleep, Yu Que followed him and cooperated by waiting here. After all, he needed a favor from the other person.

Yu Que immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Senior Huang. I just saw you taking a rest, and I dare not disturb you."

"Why are you so fussy, kid?" Huang Guishan was lecturing, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and he asked directly:

"You came to see me for something. Although Huang is not your master, he is also your guide and half-teacher. You can speak frankly!"

What this person said does make some sense.

Yu Que was accepted into the refining guild after being assessed by the other party. In a certain period of time in ancient times, this kind of relationship was also called "master", and naturally he was the other party's disciple.

Although times are different nowadays, there is still some affection between people.

This is also the reason why Yu Que came directly to this person to ask and was willing to wait for the other party.

Seeing Huang Guishan asking questions, Yu Que did not hide anything and directly told him what he had learned from his research over the past few days:
"My aptitude is not very good, but I hope to enter the path of cultivation before the small test. I would like to ask Master Huang to help me with some pointers. Is this plan feasible?"

He presented the ritual book in his hand respectfully. Huang Guishan took it and flipped through a few pages. He stroked his sparse beard and did not answer immediately. Instead, he sighed and asked:
"Are you really that anxious? With your age and qualifications, it won't be a problem even if you wait for a year or two."

Yu Que had thought about giving up the small exam at the beginning of the year and waiting until the year after to take the exam. He would be more confident by then. Besides, he was already a member of the Alchemist Guild and had a certain status, so his life should not be difficult.

But every time this thought came to his mind, he would feel unwilling. He really didn't want to enter the immortal path late and miss the opportunity.

So facing Huang Guishan's question, Yu Que did not hesitate, and said firmly with gritted teeth:

"Really? One or two years is too long. The younger generation will only fight for next year."

When Huang Guishan heard these words, he felt a complicated look for a moment, not knowing whether it was because Yu Que had spoken too decisively, or because it had evoked some memories of this person, or perhaps both.

I only heard this person muttering to himself: "Indeed, one step slow, every step slow. The immortal way today is no longer the same as it was in ancient times. If you don't fight and I don't fight, neither of us will end up well."

Huang Guishan immediately pointed at the "Seven Corpses' Returning Lights" and said:
"Let's get back to the point. You have some foresight. You didn't think of nourishing the Yin Spirit with elixirs, spells, sex techniques, etc., but instead set your sights on rituals."

The other party asked: "Do you know what words were engraved on the back of the green talisman that you and I worshipped when I taught you the method of visualization that day?"

"I don't know. I hope Master Huang can help me solve my doubts." Yu Que pricked up his ears and acted as if he was listening attentively.

Huang Guishan, with his hands behind his back, explained:

"The front of the blue talisman is inscribed with the words 'The master does not accept money' in the Qing Dynasty, and the back is inscribed with the words 'The god does not eat or drink' in the Qing Dynasty.

The ancient saying "Master does not accept money" means that we immortals and alchemists are not witches and sorcerers, and we do not ask for money or bribes when doing things. At the end of the spiritual decline, when we can only absorb the luck of incense, it means that immortals must not accept paper money and must not take the incense from it as food."

This person sneered: "After all, the so-called luck of incense is actually 'incense resentment'. If we are directly exposed to it, there will be disasters. We will become evil spirits in the future, and we will definitely go crazy and evil, causing troubles to all directions!"

Yu Que had heard of this statement before, but he had never heard such a straightforward and naked explanation. Huang Guishan's words immediately refreshed him.

So he stood in front of this person, looking more respectful.

"Remember, paper money is for the dead. Only the household gods can consume the incense. For us to cultivate, we must get a share from the household gods, and only then can we get it indirectly."

Huang Guishan continued to explain:
"And this also relates to the second sentence, 'God does not eat or drink.'"

The other party said: "This saying has the same ancient meaning when it is put in ancient times. It refers to the gods of heaven and earth, not witches, ghosts, and evil spirits. They do not collect money or drink blood, and do not need to rely on exploiting the people to maintain themselves. All such things are obscene ghosts and are not worthy of worship."

Suddenly, Huang Guishan paused, squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Que, looking at Yu Que with shining eyes, and asked:

"As for its current explanation, can you guess how much it is?"

Yu Que was slightly stunned. He had not expected that he would be tested several times when he came to ask this person for advice. However, he did not refuse and immediately pondered in his mind.
