I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Yan Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and his heart instantly rose to his chest.

Downhill?

If he went down the mountain, the mysterious force would definitely come to assassinate him. Once his true identity was made public, the enemies he would face would not just be assassins.

By then, I will be like Tang Monk's meat, and everyone will want to take a bite.

Yan Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said with shame: "My cultivation is still shallow. If I go down the mountain this time, I am afraid that I will hinder my two brothers. I want to practice on the mountain for a few more years. I hope Master will help me."

Taoist Mingxu glanced at Yan Xiu and didn't ask any more questions.

The next morning, the two brothers led thirty disciples down the mountain.

Yan Xiu stood at the edge of the cliff, taking in the expressions on the faces of the disciples coming down the mountain, most of whom were very excited.

After all, since they came up the mountain, they were not allowed to come down unless it was an urgent matter. Entering the world at the beginning of the new year meant more to them to see the colorful world below the mountain.

Although he also wanted to go home to see his parents, his identity was now exposed. If he went back rashly, he would bring disaster to his parents.

Until late at night, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of him.

[In the fifteenth year of Jianwu, the assassin learned about the worldly training at the beginning of each year at Fuzhen Temple, and lurked at the foot of the mountain for a long time with the intention of assassinating you. You did not go down the mountain, thus escaping the disaster and received the reward: Jiuding Dan Jing.]

Yan Xiu raised an eyebrow.

Alchemy?

It seems that the size of the disaster will also affect the richness of the reward.

An hour later, he had thoroughly comprehended all the contents of the Nine Cauldrons Alchemy Scripture, and many famous alchemy recipes were imprinted in his mind, some of which also aroused Yan Xiu's interest.

"By the way, isn't Second Senior Sister proficient in alchemy? Why don't we go ask her for an alchemy furnace and some herbs to try our hand at."

Yan Xiu thought to himself, and floated several feet away with a light tap of his toes.

Baiyao Garden.

This is not only the medicine garden of Fuzhen Temple, but also the place where Second Senior Sister Shu Jianqing practices. As soon as you step in, countless strange medicinal scents linger in your nose.

There were a few inconspicuous bamboo houses standing in the vast medicinal fields. Yan Xiu walked forward and spoke loudly.

"Junior Brother Yan Xiu, I am here to visit Senior Sister."

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and a Taoist boy, about eight or nine years old, with double buns, red lips and white teeth, came out. He bowed to Yan Xiuxing and replied crisply, "Senior sister is out collecting herbs, please wait for a moment, senior brother."

Yan Xiu nodded.

About half an hour later, a graceful figure came slowly from a distance.

Shu Jianqing was wearing a green dress with a tight waist and a green jade hairpin in her hair. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, her brows were furrowed, and she was walking quickly towards the bamboo house with a medicine basket in her hand.

She had bright eyes, curved willow-shaped eyebrows, and fair, flawless skin with a faint blush, but her expression contained a hint of anxiety.

She is indeed a beauty.

When he got closer, Shu Jianqing realized that it was Yan Xiu standing in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hey, Junior Brother Yan, how come you have time to come to my place?"

In her impression, this junior brother lived in a remote place and did not like to communicate with others. She thought he was a weirdo. It was not until she met him in the temple that day that she realized he was actually a young man with the appearance of a god.

Yan Xiu smiled slightly and asked, "I see that Senior Sister looks worried, is there anything I can do to help?"

Shu Jianqing tidied the hair in front of his forehead, smiled faintly and shook his head.

"It's nothing, just some problems with the pills. I don't think my junior brother can help much."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Xiu laughed.

Isn’t this a coincidence? I had just comprehended the Nine Ding Alchemy Sutra and it came in handy right away.

"Junior brother has some experience in alchemy, senior sister, why not tell me about it."

Shu Jianqing glanced at him inconspicuously, shook his head in disappointment, and his evaluation of this junior brother suddenly dropped a lot.

"What a pity for this skin. He is just another pervert."

Shu Jianqing's beauty is deeply rooted in the Fuzhen Temple, and many disciples admire her.

In order to leave an impression on her, many people practiced a little bit of alchemy and came to show their courtesy just to get a taste of her beauty.

Shu Jianqing originally thought that the alchemy lineage could rise again in Fuzhen Temple, but she didn't expect that all these people were half-baked and couldn't even make basic pills. She was so angry that she drew her sword and drove all these disciples who were in name only out of Baiyao Garden.

Obviously Yan Xiu knew nothing about these things, otherwise he would definitely not have said that he had some experience in alchemy.

Shu Jianqing was concerned that Yan Xiu was his new junior fellow apprentice, so he didn't want to embarrass him, so he just gave him a few basic and difficult alchemy questions to discourage him. However, he didn't expect Yan Xiu to answer them without hesitation.

This made her feel a little surprised and shocked.

"Doesn't he have other purposes?"

Shu Jianqing put down the medicine basket and selected a few difficult questions that he was still confused about from his mind and threw them out.

Yan Xiu just smiled slightly at this. Even the experienced imperial physicians who had worked in the palace for decades would not guarantee that they could answer these difficult questions, but they were no problem for him.

I thought Yan Xiu couldn't answer, but I saw him smile confidently, put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

As Shu Jianqing listened, his eyes widened. The key issues that had been weighing on his mind for a long time and that he could not understand suddenly became clear after Yan Xiu's explanation. For a moment, his entire mind became clear.

"I see. I didn't expect that I was the one who got stuck in a dead end."

Shu Jianqing listened attentively, his eyes sparkling, and the look he gave Yan Xiu also changed slightly.

The little Taoist boy at the side only knew the basics of alchemy, and could only scratch his head with a confused look on his face regarding the conversation between the two.

"Ahem, Senior Sister."

Yan Xiu coughed lightly.

Shu Jianqing came back to her senses immediately, her cheeks slightly red. As someone who had always been immersed in the art of alchemy, she was able to solve a mystery that had troubled her for years, so it was inevitable that she lost her composure a little.

"It seems that I have misunderstood Junior Brother. I didn't expect that Junior Brother has such a profound understanding of the Dao of Alchemy. I wonder what alchemy scripture Junior Brother is reading, but is he a disciple of the Danding family?"

Yan Xiu shook his head, "No, Junior Brother only has a little understanding."

Shu Jianqing covered his mouth and apologized, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I was abrupt."

Her talent in alchemy is not only among the best in Fuzhen Temple, but she is also one of the best doctors in the world. The problems that can bother her are naturally the difficult and complicated diseases that have not been solved in the alchemy world for many years.

Since Yan Xiu could answer so easily, he must be from a famous alchemy family. My straightforwardness would inevitably make people think I was rash.

Yan Xiu didn't care about this and told him the purpose of his visit.

"Junior brother recently got a new recipe for an elixir and wanted to try it out, but he doesn't have an elixir furnace or herbs, so he came to you to ask for the medicine. I hope you can help me."

Shu Jianqing returned to his previous demeanor and nodded.

"No problem. Please give me some time, and I will have the Taoist boy deliver it."

Having achieved his goal, Yan Xiu did not stay any longer. He bowed, expressed his gratitude, and left.

The little Taoist boy beside him pursed his lips when he heard this and wailed in his heart.

You have to know that a pill furnace weighs at least 70 to 80 kilograms, and at most over 100 kilograms. How could my physique, who has only practiced for more than a year, be able to carry it?

I couldn't help but sigh as I thought about it.

Shu Jianqing naturally knew what he was thinking and gave him a slap on the head.

"Don't worry, I'll deliver it myself when the time comes."

The little Taoist boy immediately smiled happily.

Three days later, the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials were delivered to Yan Xiu's residence.

After everything was ready, Yan Xiu began to refine the most basic elixir for cultivating immortals, the Peiyuan Pill.

At the same time, the disciples of Fuzhen Temple also discovered a strange phenomenon.

The second senior sister who had always been cold to others suddenly appeared frequently at Yan Xiu's residence. For a while, many gossipers in the temple began to spread rumors.

Some of Shu Jianqing's admirers were furious and wanted to find out who on earth could make the Second Senior Sister ignore the rumors. It was not until they met Yan Xiu that they stopped.

Apart from anything else, this divine appearance alone is enough to make them feel ashamed of themselves, and they can only sigh to the sky.

It’s not unfair to lose.
