The Path to Becoming Immortal

"Three years later, I didn't expect that you and I would both be masters and apprentices, but both of us would be short-lived! Haha!"

Ling Hongjiu said with a bitter look on his face, a deathly aura suddenly filled his body, and then disappeared after a wave of fluctuations.

Ning Ping was secretly shocked when he saw this. The other party's situation was more serious than he thought.

"I probably only have one or two years to live, but you are still young, so don't give up hope easily."

Sure enough, Ling Hongjiu revealed the truth in one word.

"Well! I want to try harder." Ning Ping looked calm at this time.

As if affected by Ning Ping's mood, Ling Hongjiu's spirit became a little more energetic.

"Haha, yes, we monks just compete with the sky for fate. If we don't compete, where will we come from?"

"By the way, take this Heaven-Building Pill first. I thought I would keep it as a reminder for future generations to work on. Now you can use it."

As he spoke, Ling Hongjiu turned over his hand and handed over a porcelain bottle. He sensed that it was the Heaven-Building Pill he had sent before.

Seeing this, Ning Ping felt moved in his heart. He didn't expect that his master, who had only a short time left, could resist such a temptation and has kept it to this day.

"Master, please keep it. I'm trying to figure out how to refine it. Don't worry, I'll also learn all your alchemy skills."

Ning Ping pretended to be relaxed and said.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later, I'll keep it for now. What are your plans in the future?"

"First refine the Heaven-Building Pill, and then find a way to get rid of the curse and form the pill at the same time."

Ling Hongjiu pondered for a while and said: "Although your words are good, I can't see the truth of your curse. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to remove it for a while.

It is better to focus on forming pills. But the time is still too hasty..."

Ning Ping thought about it and said: "I am collecting some elixirs and trying to refine an elixir. But He Dan's elixir allows the disciples to give up at this moment..."

It is not the intention of Ning Ping to tell the truth for the time being. After all, the matter is very important.

Gu Qing and Ling Hongjiu are people of completely different natures. Even if they share the elixir recipe with them later, it doesn't matter to Ning Ping's character.

But I'm afraid there's still room for help from him, so I give a rough idea so that the other party can be prepared.

Ling Hongjiu's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly, but did not ask any further questions.

"If you need any elixir, I can think of a solution."

Ning Ping pondered for a moment and handed over a jade slip.

After Ling Hongjiu took it, he examined it carefully.

Originally, Ling Hongjiu pondered for a long time about the catalog of elixirs that could be known at a glance, and then his eyes lit up slightly.

At this moment, suddenly there was a cry from outside the door.

"Grandpa, grandpa, where is the apprentice you accepted?"

A girl in blue came in with a gust of fragrance.

"Nonsense, didn't you see that I'm busy? There are others, big and small. I'll call him senior brother from now on."

Ling Hongjiu's face darkened and he scolded. He glanced slightly and saw that Ning Ping had already transformed into his previous appearance with gray hair.

"Grandpa... hello, senior brother! My name is Ling Yiyi." The girl in blue opened her mouth, but in a blink of an eye she returned to normal and tilted her head to call Ning Ping.

This is a clever girl, about 28 years old, with baby fat on her face, she is very cute.

"Junior sister!"

"You girl." Ling Hongjiu muttered, but his eyes were full of doting.

"This girl is a descendant of my distant relative. She was entrusted to me before her death. This is also the last bit of incense in my Ling family."

"Grandpa, don't keep saying this, don't I have a grandpa? Now I have a senior brother." The girl said and sat down.

However, she was still a little afraid of this senior brother, his face was cold and even a little scary.

Ning Ping smiled slightly, and with a sweep of his consciousness, the girl's cultivation was at the peak of her Qi refining stage.

"Junior Sister, I give you this Foundation Establishment Pill." Turning his hands, he found a super grade Foundation Establishment Pill that had just been refined.

"Hey, senior brother is the best." Ling Yiyi took it unceremoniously and played with it happily.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly flew in and was caught by Ling Hongjiu.

"Haha, look, someone came over after smelling something fishy." Ling Hongjiu raised a greeting card in his hand.

Not long after, the two meat mountains and several people behind them entered the attic.

"Haha, congratulations to Elder Ling. Today you have achieved your wish and gained a good disciple." As soon as the person entered, one of the meat mountains started shouting.

This person is none other than the head of the Gu family, Gu Yuantu, and his pair of children.

Next to him, Gu Qing was blinking his small mung bean eyes and winking at Ning Ping from time to time.

Ning Ping looked around and was slightly startled. Almost all the people who came were familiar people.

"Congratulations to Elder Ling, I took the liberty of coming here to pay homage to Haihan." The person who spoke this time was Gu Xiangwen of Taixuan Sect.

He and his wife came together, and there was a young boy beside him, it was Gu Yun.

At this moment, he was staring at Ning Ping like he was looking at a monster.

"It's easy to say, thank you all, come and take a seat." Ling Hongjiu swept away his previous solemnity and put on a smiling face.

"I've met all of you, seniors." Ning Ping also saluted respectfully from the side.

"Yes, he is calm and generous, and has everyone's demeanor. He deserves to be called the youngest master."

The eyes of several Nascent Soul masters flickered at this moment, looking at Ning Ping from top to bottom, but without any surprise, they did not notice Ning Ping's transformed appearance at this moment.

This is of course the result of the breakthrough of Tianyan Gong, which can transform everything.

Including Gu Yun, at this moment, they all looked at Ning Ping like a monster.

This made Ning Ping feel guilty.

"Brother Leng, my name is Gu Yuantu. You are really young and promising. You have already established your foundation. I wonder if the elixir you just made is..."

At this time, Gu Yuantu showed the demeanor of a businessman, and he didn't say anything nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Brother Gu, you haven't even had a sip of tea yet, you don't take me seriously."

Ling Hongjiu seemed to be very familiar with the other party, and pretended to be angry.

"Okay, drink tea, drink tea, good tea, good tea..." Gu Yuantu picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all, and instantly praised with his eyes wide open.

"Yiyi's craftsmanship is really good. It would be nice to drink such good tea every day."

She kept looking at Ling Hongjiu thoughtfully, but the other party seemed to be oblivious, and Gu Qing's head shrank slightly.

At this moment, Ling Yiyi seemed like a very sensible young lady. She looked very well-behaved, and she smiled and refilled the tea in front of everyone.

"Then, senior, please come often. I will make tea for you every day." She said softly with a slight pursed mouth.

"Old man Ling, look, this is what Yiyi said. I will come often in the future, so don't hide from me."

"Haha, you guy..." Ling Hongjiu shook his head.

"Elder Gu, I'm sorry, I came in first, and I've drunk the tea, let's get back to the point."

"Little brother, what do you want to do with the foundation-building pill you just made?"

Gu Yuantu is indeed a man who takes everything into consideration. He turned his head and apologized to Gu Xiangwen Fangfang, so as not to ignore him, but he also did not forget his business principles.

But Ning Ping heard something different. Seeing the other party's expression, he knew that since Gu Xiao knew about his transaction with Gu Qing, he, as the head of the family, would definitely not be able to hide it.

Of course, this was also within Ning Ping's expectations. Some rare spiritual medicines were extraordinary, and it would be impossible for Gu Qing to do it alone.
