The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Lu Changfeng, still half-asleep after being woken up, wiped the drool from his mouth.

"Huh? What? Say that again!"

Having no other choice, Bai Hua had to repeat it again.

"Master, we've obtained the Pure Water Dragon Saliva. Um, didn't you say before that getting this would allow us to refine an incredibly powerful elixir?"

After he said that, Lu Changfeng finally realized what was going on.

"Holy crap, you guys got it? Let me see!"

Upon seeing the contents of the ten-thousand-year-old ice box, Lu Changfeng was quite surprised.

"Wow! You guys actually managed to get it!"

"That's strange, given your situation, you shouldn't be able to get it!"

In his mind, no matter how strong Bai Hua and his companions were, they were still only at the Golden Core stage. But the ice dragon on the other side was a late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast.

They managed to snatch something from a late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast while they were still in the Golden Core stage, and most importantly, they actually succeeded! Anyone would be astonished to see that!

But this left Bai Hua and the others speechless with disbelief.

Good heavens, you, as their master, actually have such low hopes for them?

I must appeal to the master! I must appeal to the master!

Fortunately, Lu Changfeng reacted quickly.

"Alright, since you got it, give it to me!"

"Remember not to go out for the next few days. Once I've finished refining the pills, we'll head back to the Heavenly Star Sect together!"

"As for Baihua, Dahuang, and Sanchuan, the three of you should carefully consider whether you still want to go out and continue your training!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the alchemy room in the passenger station, which made the originally lively scene quiet.

After realizing what had happened, they exclaimed in amazement.

Yes, we made a ten-year agreement back then, but I never expected that ten years would pass so quickly!

Although nothing seemed to go wrong among them over the past ten years, it was clear to everyone that, apart from Bai Hua, Da Huang, and San Chuan, the others had only barely reached the Golden Core stage.

This level of cultivation was indeed high in the past, but now, even the top geniuses like Ye Tian have progressed from the early Nascent Soul stage to the late Nascent Soul stage in just ten years.

Even those who were less skilled have all reached the Nascent Soul stage by now.

In other words, those of them who are at the early stage of the Golden Core realm are already outdated. Even if they go out to train, they won't get anything good. They might as well go back and follow their master!

After figuring things out, the disciples relaxed again. They immediately said goodbye to their three senior brothers and went to a nearby tavern for a drink.

As for Bai Hua and the other two, they also found a private room and sat down.

After taking a few sips of wine, Sanchuan spoke first.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I've made up my mind. I still plan to go out and train, but only after I reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

Baihua and Dahuang were not surprised by Sanchuan's idea.

After all, compared to the other two, Sanchuan has always had a dream of freedom, but he was too weak to leave the endless ice plains before. Later, when he had the strength, the polar war broke out.

But the yearning for freedom in his heart never ceased.

"Third Brother, we support your decision!"

"That's right, Third Junior Brother!"

Sanchuan nodded in agreement and then continued to ask,

"What about the eldest and second senior brothers?"

"Do you want to continue your training, or are you planning to stop?"

The two fell silent immediately.

To be honest, for them, their cultivation seemed to have no real goal from the beginning. In short, they were open to training, but not training was also acceptable.

Simply put, they are confused and don't know what to choose!

Clearly, Sanchuan also noticed their predicament and immediately said,

"This definitely needs careful consideration. By then, we'll all be at the Nascent Soul stage, and it'll be common for us to be away for decades or even centuries."

"Senior Brother, your parents are ordinary people, aren't they?"

Bai Hua's eyes widened immediately.

"Holy crap, how did you know?"

It's no wonder he was so surprised. Sanchuan had been staying in the Endless Canyon the whole time, only taking on a disciple unexpectedly after Lu Changfeng arrived, so he had never been to the Heavenly Star Sect.

Not to mention Bai Hua, now San Chuan even knows that his parents are ordinary people, amazing!

However, Sanchuan looked at Baihua as if she were an idiot.

"Senior Brother, although I've never been to the Heavenly Star Sect, I know that they welcome all new disciples."

"And you were accepted as a disciple by your master at the Spirit Testing Conference, but those with cultivators in their families don't need to participate in the Spirit Testing Conference, so is it really that difficult to determine that your parents are mortals?"

Bai Hua fell silent, while Da Huang beside her burst out laughing.

"Haha, third junior brother, stop teasing your eldest senior brother. He really isn't very bright!"

After hearing what Da Huang said, Bai Hua nodded helplessly.

"Yes, Third Junior Brother, why don't you tell me that my parents are mortals, and then what?"

Sanchuan shrugged.

"Your parents are ordinary people with limited lifespans. You've been a disciple for about 25 years now!"

"Your parents were probably only sixteen or seventeen when you were born, and you were just over ten when you entered the family, so your parents must be over fifty now!"

"How many more years do they have to live?"

"It would be better to offer them filial piety and then decide what to do after they pass away!"

"Or leave a child at home, so that when you go out, the elderly couple will have something to look forward to!"

Big Yellow nodded after hearing this.

"Eldest brother, third brother is right!"

Bai Hua knew that San Chuan was right. Since they couldn't decide whether or not to go through the training, they would just go home and stay for a few years!

We'll make a decision later, when we've figured things out or the time is right.

He immediately raised his wine glass and looked at his second and third junior brothers.

"Thanks for the suggestion, my two junior brothers. Let's do it!"

Ten days later, Lu Changfeng emerged from the alchemy room, yawning, and immediately began giving instructions to Xiao Qing and Xiao Fen outside the door.

"Xiao Qing, go and call all the disciples here. Xiao Fen, get me some food!"

"Oh, and I want something with a strong flavor!"

Upon receiving the instructions, the two immediately bowed and greeted the emperor.

"It's you, sir!"

He disappeared after finishing speaking.

Although the two of them took human form late, they were born from spiritual essence and possessed extraordinary talent. In addition, Lu Changfeng often gave lectures on the Dao, and their cultivation level reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

So they may look small, but their cultivation level is actually quite high!

Before long, all the disciples had gathered at the bus station, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Finally, Lu Changfeng, riding on a cloud and carrying a hot pot, floated down to the disciples while eating.

"belch!"

After letting out a satisfied burp, he wiped the grease from his mouth and said...

"Alright, I'm sure you all know why I called you here today!"

"That's right, the pill has been successfully refined!"

As he spoke, he took out a jade gourd filled with pills from his storage ring.

"Ta-da! This is it!"

"I call it the Extreme Cold Purifying Water Creation Pill!"

"Your Golden Cores range from fourth or fifth grade to as high as fifty grades, similar to the third or fifth grade. As I've told you before, the grade of the Golden Core affects the strength of the Nascent Soul!"

"This pill will enter a special state when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If you can grasp it well, comprehending a special Nascent Soul will be a piece of cake!"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't comprehend it. This pill will also boost your comprehension in a short time, and your body will be completely purified, eliminating any hidden injuries!"

"In short, it will be beneficial and harmless to your upcoming cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples below were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers.

Seeing the reactions below, Lu Changfeng was smiling, but he couldn't help feeling sad inside!

You should know that he added two pieces of Mythical Enlightenment Tea to these pills before refining them.

Although it wasn't the first kind of Enlightenment Tea that could permanently increase comprehension, but rather a newer variety, it was still quite valuable.

This time, he really suffered a huge loss.

But it's worth it, since my disciples are almost at the Nascent Soul stage. Once they reach that, they can graduate and I can legitimately slack off.

This is my last effort, so even if the price is high, it's worth it!

The thought of not having to do anything in the future, while his apprentices' annual tributes poured in, made him tremble uncontrollably.

With this kind of efficiency, why bother doing business? Wouldn't it be better to just take on apprentices?
