Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer

I’ll Be An In-Name Disciple First (1)

“Fellow Daoists, can you take down those demonic Dao monsters?” Perfected Chi Yao asked with concern.

Perfected Luoyue shook her head regretfully. “Those demons are quite powerful. We chased them for hundreds of miles, but they still escaped.”

“What a pity. I didn’t expect that after being immersed in the demonic path for so many years, it would start to emerge again so quickly.”

“Yup,” Perfected Luoyue also sighed with emotion. “After this, I’m afraid that the Orthodox sects will have to discuss it seriously again.”

Perfected Chi Yao nodded solemnly, then suddenly changed the topic,”By the way, Fellow Daoist Luoyue, I’m going to take in an outer sect disciple who has been expelled from Yunzhong sect. Your sect shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

Master Luoyue was no fool. Her sharp eyes instantly locked on Cheng Xu. “The one who peeked at Jiaojiao bathing? ”

“Ahem, ahem. Young people are full of vigor and vitality.” Perfected Chi Yao stroked his round belly and quipped while laughing, “That’s a small problem ~ a small problem ~”

“Are you questioning the vision and decision of our Yunzhong sect, Perfected Chi Yao?” Perfected Luoyue turned around indifferently, as if she didn’t take Cheng Xu seriously. “You took in an abandoned disciple of another sect, and a lecher with a problematic character at that. Even if Perfected Chi Yao can afford to be embarrassed, your Medicine Immortal Valley can’t, right? ”

Cheng Xu really wanted to defend himself, but in the end, he held back.

After all, this Master Daoist Luoyue didn’t look like an easy person to talk to, and she had the vibe of Abbess Miejue.

“..”

Perfected Chi Yao frowned and fell into deep thought.

As Perfected Luoyue had said, if they really accepted Cheng Xu, the Medicine Immortal Valley and the Yunzhong sect would be embarrassed.

Although he believed that Cheng Xu had been wrongly accused, it was useless for him to believe it alone.

Moreover, the demonic Dao was getting restless at the moment, and it would indeed be inappropriate for them to have a conflict with the Yunzhong sect over this matter.

Even if he brought Cheng Xu back to the sect, his Senior Brother, the sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang, would probably not agree.

“That’s all I have to say. Please consider the big picture first, Perfected Chi Yao. Don’t hurt the harmony between the two sects because of a small matter.”

After a few polite words, Perfected Luoyue left with Bai Ci’er.

After watching Perfected Luoyue and her disciple leave, Perfected Chi Yao hesitated.

“It’s fine. Actually, it’s not bad to be an itinerant cultivator.” Cheng Xu smiled indifferently. After all, he was interested in the Medicine Immortal Valley’s alchemy knowledge, not the Medicine Immortal Valley sect.

Miao Changsheng could not help but complain. “Those people from the Yunzhong sect are really too much. They’ve already expelled him from the sect, but they still won’t let him find a better job.”

“Such a good potential alchemist talent, it would truly be a pity to miss him.”

Perfected Chi Yao pondered in his heart.

Miao Changsheng had only remembered about the mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir after he had parted ways with Cheng Xu at the trade fair.

When Perfected Chi Yao saw the Qi-gathering elixir, he was greatly shocked.

Unfortunately, when he went back to look for Cheng Xu, he had already disappeared.

“Little fellow, are you willing to take me as your master?” Perfected Chi Yao solemnly asked after thinking for a long time.

“What?” Cheng Xu was flattered. “Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but you really don’t have to make things difficult for yourself because of a small fry like me. If you think that I’m a promising person, you can just give me some pointers on alchemy.”

Perfected Chi Yao grinned and said, “It’s fine ~ you can just acknowledge me as your master and not enter the sect for the time being. First, you’ll be an in-name disciple of mine. When the matter is over, I’ll officially accept you into the sect.”

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? As expected of our master,” Miao Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

“What do you think, young man? Are you interested in learning alchemy with me?”

Cheng Xu was also stunned by Perfected Chi Yao’s actions and immediately bowed to him.

“Master, please accept this disciple’s bow!”

After all, there was no harm in being an in-name disciple. On the contrary, it was very suitable for his current state.

“Hahaha, very good!” Perfected Chi Yao was pleased as he helped Cheng Xu up. “From now on, you will be my second disciple. However, for the time being, it’s better for you to act as an in-name disciple.”

“I understand.” Cheng Xu nodded in understanding.

“Welcome to the Medicine Immortal Valley, Brother Cheng,” Miao Changsheng said excitedly. “Quick, quick, quick, call me Senior Brother.”

Cheng Xu laughed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Perfected Chi Yao.

“My disciples have always been ranked by their alchemy skills. From now on, Little Cheng is the Senior Brother, and you are the Junior Brother!”

Miao Changsheng was dumbfounded.

He thought that he had found a Junior Brother for himself, but he did not expect to find a Senior Brother instead.

Moreover, he didn’t feel that his alchemy level was any worse than Cheng Xu’s.

“I’m not convinced!”

“If you’re not convinced, then hold it in. Let’s go, let’s go. Follow me back to the Medicine Immortal Valley,” Perfected Chi Yao snorted.

“Uh, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to go back with you directly?”

“How about this, our Medicine Immortal Valley is quite close to the floating Immortal City. In a while, you can go to my cave residence to find a place, then you can stay in the floating Immortal City. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to my cave residence to ask for advice at any time.”

Cheng Xu was secretly happy. The floating Immortal City was the largest market in mini Southern Heaven, and he had also wanted to go to the floating Immortal City to collect some data.

…

In the sky, an exquisite and luxurious treasure ship was slowly sailing through the clouds.

Master Luoyue’s mind was full of thoughts about the demonic Dao, while Bai Ci’er was recalling Cheng Xu’s performance in the previous battle.

“By the way, master, I just heard from Junior Brother Cheng that what happened between him and Senior Sister Hu was just an accident.”

“An accident? You believe a man’s words?” Perfected Luoyue snorted.

“But I don’t think Junior Brother Cheng is that kind of person.”

“No matter if it was an accident or not, that girl Jiaojiao will never let him stay in Yunzhong sect. Also, don’t keep calling him Junior Brother,” Perfected Luoyue said in a deep voice with a frown. “That kid is no longer a disciple of the Yunzhong sect.”

“Alright,” he said. Bai Ci’er mumbled and nodded.

“But then again, Perfected Chi Yao actually wants to take that kid as a disciple, this is a bit unexpected.”

Bai Ci’er smiled sweetly and said, “Based on Perfected Chi Yao’s words, Senior Brother Cheng… Uh… Fellow Daoist Cheng seems to be quite talented in alchemy. Oh, by the way, I bought some Qi-gathering elixirs from him at the market.”

“Is that so?” Master Luoyue was a little surprised. “Since he’s able to make Qi-gathering elixirs by himself at such a young age, he does have some talent in alchemy, but alchemy is just an auxiliary path. Cultivators still have to rely on their cultivation and strength.”

Bai Ci’er frowned slightly, not quite agreeing with her master’s point of view. “Isn’t the status of alchemists very high?”

“It’s just an overestimation,” Perfected Luoyue laughed and said. “Just like that Perfected Chi Yao, he’s a dignified middle-stage Golden Core realm cultivator but he ran faster than anyone else when he saw the demonic cultivators. What’s the use of that? ”

…

Perfected Chi Yao’s flying magic weapon was a medicine gourd that could grow in size, but no one knew what was inside.

Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng sat side by side on the medicine gourds, debating about the theory of medicine with Miao Changsheng.

Miao Changsheng’s face turned red as he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Perfected Chi Yao, who was leaning on the medicine gourd, saw everything and couldn’t stop smiling.

“That’s enough, Changsheng. I’ve already said that you’re definitely not Little Cheng’s match. You won’t be able to refine that mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir of his in a short time,” Perfected Chi Yao joked.

“Are you kidding me? I clearly concocted a top-grade Qi-gathering elixir last time, okay?” Miao Changsheng was unconvinced.

Perfected Chi Yao shook his head and laughed, “They’re both middle-grade Qi-gathering elixirs, but the one you made and the one Little Cheng made are on completely different levels.”

“Why are they not on the same level? Aren’t they both middle-grade? ”

“That’s why I said you’re still far from getting it~” Perfected Chi Yao chuckled and looked at Cheng Xu. “Come, Little Cheng, tell him what’s the rate of loss when you make a mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir.”

“It’s not bad,” Cheng Xu said, puzzled. “A single set of ingredients can probably produce a little more than three sets of Qi-gathering elixirs.”

The so-called rate of loss referred to the number of elixirs that could be produced after a set of materials was successfully refined. The lower the rate of loss, the more elixirs would be produced.

“Really?! three portions is already ridiculous enough, ” Miao Changsheng said in shock. “Can you make more?”

“So, now you know the difference? You’re indeed capable, but you’re still lacking something in the details,” said Perfected Chi Yao in a bad mood.

“Master, what’s the approximate rate of loss when refining a mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir?” Cheng Xu asked curiously.

“Five and a half. If I’m in good condition, I can make six.” Perfected Chi Yao calmly acted cool.

Cheng Xu silently gave him a thumbs up.

This was because he knew very well that six sets of Qi-gathering elixir was already the physical limit of one set of materials.

In other words, if Perfected Chi Yao was in a good condition, he could refine the Qi-gathering elixir without wasting a single ounce of material.

It seemed that he had found the right master. With such an amazing alchemist as his master, he was not afraid that his [ Alchemy ] application would not be able to level up.

Even if he didn’t read the Medicine Immortal Valley’s alchemy books, he would be able to collect a lot of valuable data just by listening to Perfected Chi Yao’s explanation.

“Senior Brother, quickly tell me how you did it?” Miao Changsheng asked humbly.

“Just do it like that. Cheng Xu scratched his head awkwardly. What’s your rate of loss, Junior Brother?”

“I can barely make two sets.”

“Oh, that’s not very good.”

“..”

Along the way, Cheng Xu and Perfected Chi Yao took turns to give Miao Changsheng pointers on how to refine the Qi-gathering elixirs.

As for how much this guy could take in, it was unknown.

…

Two days later, the medicine gourd arrived at a mountain range surrounded by immortal mist. This was where the Medicine Immortal Valley’s main gate was.

Cheng Xu looked down curiously at the immortal mountain full of spiritual energy and was secretly envious.

Perfected Chi Yao landed the medicine gourd at the entrance of an immortal’s cave on the mountainside, then took Cheng Xu to get familiar with the cave.

“I have to report the situation of the demonic attack to the sect leader. Changsheng, take little Cheng to the library cave and give your Senior Brother a copy of the alchemy books that I asked you to study.”

“Yes, Master.” Miao Changsheng accepted the order obediently.

Perfected Chi Yao flew away with a grave expression, while Miao Changsheng led Cheng Xu to the library Cave.

“What do you think, Senior Brother? the environment in the Medicine Immortal Valley isn’t any worse than the Yunzhong sect’s, right?”

“It’s much better than the Yunzhong sect.”

Cheng Xu greedily sucked in the spiritual energy in the space, feeling refreshed.

As a former outer sect disciple of the Yunzhong sect, he could only live on the top of the mountain with the worst spirit vein in the mountain range among the clouds. He had never enjoyed such an environment with such rich spiritual energy.

“I don’t want to stay in a sect that doesn’t know what’s good.” Miao Changsheng was now completely convinced by Cheng Xu. While he secretly felt indignant for Cheng Xu, he was also criticizing the cloud sect for being blind.

What a joke. He was an alchemy genius who could reach such a level by self-study, how could his future achievements be understood by that group of mediocre people?

“By the way, our medicine celestial Valley should have quite a collection of precious alchemy books, right?” Cheng Xu was secretly looking forward to it.

“That’s natural.”

“I didn’t have much access to any proper alchemy knowledge before. Now that I have this opportunity, I’m looking forward to it.”

Miao Changsheng expressed his understanding. He was also a young man who was passionate about refining elixirs.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the library cave of the Medicine Immortal Valley.” As Miao Changsheng led the way, he bragged, “I’m not trying to brag, but in the entire mini South Heaven, no one in the Medicine Immortal Valley would dare to claim to be number one in the field of alchemy.”

Cheng Xu had no doubts about this.

A sect that had alchemy as its foundation and had been passed down for a thousand years was completely qualified to say such words.
