The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Unaware of his thoughts, Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan, after taking their seats, eagerly asked, "Junior Brother, would you be willing to resume the large-scale lectures?"

Learn to leave, leaving behind a big piece of cake.

They won't be satisfied until they take a big bite!

That's why, upon learning of the situation in the alien spirit ruins and realizing that his distraction was temporarily under control, he couldn't wait to rush over.

Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Zhu Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "This is precisely the time for us fellow disciples to make a fortune in spirit stones!"

The one-year contract was not mentioned.

The mere prospect of earning spirit stones was enough to make him unable to refuse.

After all, whether it's exchanging for advanced visualization diagrams, wanting to delve into the art of formations, or purchasing magical artifacts and elixirs, all require spirit stones...

Seeing that he agreed, Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with smiles.

In truth, their lives were no easier than Zhu Yu's.

Xiang Sui devoted himself to the Dao of alchemy. Whether it was purchasing elixir formulas or spiritual herbs, he spent spirit stones like water. Now he wished he could split a spirit stone in half to spend, and he still couldn't bear to buy a magic weapon or alchemy furnace.

As the eldest grandson in the family, Liang Kuan was relatively well-off, but the Demon Slayer Guard was extremely dangerous. He entered the demon's lair several times and faced many dangers. Not only did he not earn any spirit stones, but he also lost a lot of money.

Now, they are also unable to make ends meet.

Although Zhu Yu only receives 10% of the spirit stones as a reward for teaching large classes, it adds up to a considerable sum over time.

"Junior brother, when do you think would be a good date to start classes?"

Xiang hesitated for a moment, then decided to hand the initiative over to Zhu Yu.

Upon hearing this, Liang Kuan also turned to look.

Since the decision to start the course had already been made, Zhu Yu didn't delay and said directly, "There's no time like the present, how about tomorrow?"

"Okay! Tomorrow then!"

As if afraid he might change his mind, Xiang Sui immediately slammed his hand on the table and agreed. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Junior brother, look at the number of students to be taught..."

Learn to leave.

If you want to eat the sweetest cake, there can't be too few people. Of course, this is also because he knows that Zhu Yu's basic visualization method has been greatly mastered, which is why he asked this question.

"Number of people..."

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment before replying, "How about one hundred and twenty people?"

One hundred and twenty people is neither a lot nor a little.

At a rate of two spirit stones per half hour, one can earn seven hundred spirit stones in a single lesson.

That's 20,000 spirit stones a month.

This is enough to support his and his two insect-like subordinates' cultivation needs; any more would be a bit too much for them…

"Okay! One hundred and twenty people."

Upon hearing this, the two were overjoyed. With such a sum of spirit stones in their account, their future cultivation would surely be much easier.

After finishing our business.

After a few casual words, the topic turned to the alien spirit realm.

Zhu Yu suddenly had an idea and asked, "Where are your two senior brothers' divided spirits located? If they are in similar positions, wouldn't it be better for us brothers to join forces?"

"I'm in a town called Linwan Town in Yuzhou." Xiang Sui stated the location of his distraction without hesitation, then shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, it's best not to get your hopes up. From what I understand, the rules of that Great Spirit Ruins are harsh, and cultivation is based on 'fame,' and to become famous..."

He looked helpless and said indignantly:

"Those powerful and influential families were really unfriendly. I just copied a few lines of poetry, intending to make a name for myself in the brothel. I didn't offend anyone, but after only a few words, I was dragged away. I was almost distracted and drowned."

"A brothel?... "

Zhu Yu and Liang Kuan looked at each other strangely.

"Cough cough..."

Liang Kuan coughed twice, and when the two looked over, he straightened his expression and said, "My mind is currently in a village called Xiahe Village in Qingzhou."

He paused, then said with a hint of smugness:

"Hmm... things are relatively peaceful for now. I've only caught a few mice. Those ignorant villagers are worshipping me like a cat god. I can already feel my body getting stronger, and I can catch mice with ease..."

"You've been distracted by a cat?" Xiang Sui looked at his increasingly robust physique in surprise, then chuckled and teased, "My herb garden has been infested with rats. How about you help me catch them another day, Junior Brother?"

"How dare I disobey! Hahaha..."

Liang Kuan solemnly agreed, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Qingzhou!"

Upon hearing the location he mentioned, Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "My avatar is also in Qingzhou, currently located in a mountain stronghold called Yunshan Mountain Range."

"Copycat?"

Both of them were taken aback.

"That's how it is..."

Zhu Yu then recounted the whole story in detail.

After he finished speaking, Xiang Sui couldn't help but laugh, "One possesses the body of a cat, and the other possesses the body of a mountain bandit. My two junior brothers are truly ingenious!"

A look of delight appeared on Liang Kuan's face as he asked, "Mi Family Village? Are there three corpses hanging at the village entrance?"

"Um?"

Zhu Yu was puzzled for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother, you've also been sent to Mi Family Village?"

Liang Kuan nodded repeatedly, "I landed a little late and couldn't get a good body, so I had to occupy a raccoon's body."

He paused, then said thankfully:

"Luckily, I'm inhabiting a raccoon's body, otherwise I would be the one hanging from the big tree at the village entrance!"

He had personally witnessed how easily that shifty-eyed fellow had killed the newly arrived Yinming Cave cultivators; the way he snapped their necks was incredibly crisp.

Zhu Yu nodded in understanding, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Senior brother, it's best not to stay in Xiahe Village for too long. Given the path of cultivation in the Otherworldly Spirit Ruins, you never know when a Taoist priest who slays demons might come looking for you."

He paused, then extended an invitation:

"Senior brother, you can come to Yunshan Village to find me. If we brothers join forces, we'll have a better chance of obtaining the Spirit Ruins Origin."

"This…"

Liang Kuan frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to go, but according to what my junior brother said, that Mi Ya'er must be a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, or even the perfect stage of Qi Refining."

At this point, he winked and chuckled:

"Given her preparations, she's definitely going to explore and collect rare spiritual items. It's difficult for my junior brother to act since he's signed a blood pact with her, but I can. We can devise a plan to trick her..."

"OK."

Zhu Yu didn't mention that Mi Ya'er was someone he wanted, but smiled and agreed, promising to meet in a few days. They then chatted about the exotic spiritual ruins.

Not long.

Three crescent moons hung from the dome.

Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan bid farewell and left. They not only had to prepare large classrooms, but also had to spread the word and recruit students. Time was of the essence.

Zhu Yu escorted the two to the foot of the mountain. Once they were out of sight, he turned back to the top of the hill, checked the corpse taro and the tiger corpse seed, and after confirming they were unharmed, returned to the wooden house.

After finishing my meal, I prepared food for raising Xiaoyu and Xiaohei, then went upstairs to the second floor.

He sat cross-legged on the soft couch, probing his body with his divine sense.

Located on the abdomen, a fist-sized lump of flesh emitted a faint glow, and it was evident that spiritual energy and blood energy were constantly flowing into it, making the glow even brighter.

It is the nascent seed of the "chewing gold and eating iron" method.

"Three more days..."

Zhu Yu examined it with his True Sight Eye, nodded in satisfaction, withdrew his divine sense, summoned the jade jar containing the meditation liquid to his palm, drank a full bottle of it, then took out two Soul Scattering Pills and swallowed them. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and immersed himself in cultivation.

Although the "chewing gold and eating iron" method has not yet fully developed, its effects are already beginning to appear. In the past, there were some uncomfortable symptoms when taking meditation liquid and soul-dispersing pills, but now the discomfort has completely disappeared, and the digestion and absorption of the medicine have become faster.

"Once the Dharma seed is formed, will I be able to take the Meditation Pill?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and he focused on refining the medicinal power.

The next day.

Just as Zhu Yu was riding Xiao Hei to the market.

A strange and mysterious place.

At the foot of a mountain somewhere in the Yunshan Mountains.

Zhu Yu, holding a rusty iron knife, stared blankly as Bai Doufu, standing in the middle of the road, planted a large flag.

Under the blazing sun, the flag suddenly rose.

Embroidered prominently on it.

"This mountain is mine; leave your life for a price!" Ten large characters read.
