Chapter 228 - 125: Pledging allegiance to Green Cloud Peak, Foundation Establishment within the Inner Sect (Seeking monthly tickets for 8k combined chapters )_2
At this moment, Liang Sheng was unaware of Chen Ming’s situation. They were no longer part of the same world, so how could they intersect?
As Liang Sheng gradually approached the mountain top without concealing his Qi, Jin Quanxiu sensed him as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain.
Good, he finally understands gratitude.
For Jin Quanxiu, apart from his own cultivation breakthrough, what made him most proud was his foresight in selecting talented disciples.
It was like picking a blooming and fruitful plant from a pile of rotten wood, and the result proved him right, naturally filling him with joy.
“Xiang Chen, go out and welcome your junior brother.”
Junior brother?
Xiang Chen was still attending to Jin Quanxiu, but when he heard those words, he immediately understood what was happening.
It seems that Yang Cheng is loyal, and he is indeed worthy of being regarded highly by Master. Today, he has come to the door, ready to join Green Cloud Peak.
By the time Xiang Chen emerged from the Cave Mansion, he had already sensed Liang Sheng’s presence, and couldn’t help but smile, filled with amusement as he looked down at the scene.
In no time, Liang Sheng appeared before him. Liang Sheng did not hesitate, and directly bowed and greeted him, addressing him as Senior Brother.
Xiang Chen also bowed and greeted him in return, then led him straight into the Cave Mansion. As for whether Jin Quanxiu would or wouldn’t accept this disciple, Xiang Chen didn’t know. It all depended on “Yang Cheng’s” fate.
Although Chen Xiang, Xiao Qin, and others were also part of Green Cloud Peak, they were not Jin Quanxiu’s direct disciples.
Therefore, even if they have the same cultivation level and make the same choices, they might still have different experiences. Becoming a Peak Master’s Disciple relies on luck and individual destiny.
“Disciple Yang Cheng, pays respects to Peak Master.”
“Yang Cheng, you are very impressive. Can you now refine Foundation Establishment Pills?”
Huh?
As soon as Jin Quanxiu’s words came out, Xiang Chen was taken aback. It seemed to remind him of the time when he first met Jin Quanxiu, as Jin Quanxiu had asked him the same question.
So, does Master intend to take Yang Cheng as a disciple?
However, whether Yang Cheng can seize this opportunity depends on his own performance. Xiang Chen stared closely at Liang Sheng, wanting to know his answer.
At this moment, Liang Sheng didn’t hesitate and nodded directly. His current goal was the Golden Yuan Pill Formula, so how could he show any weakness?
The stronger his alchemy skills were, the more opportunities he’d get to access the Golden Yuan Pill Formula. Otherwise, what reason would he have to request to see the formula in the future?
Seeing Liang Sheng’s confident appearance, Jin Quanxiu became more satisfied. If one did not possess even this amount of ambition and confidence, how could they be worthy of being Jin Quanxiu’s disciple?
“Xiang Chen, go and prepare the Spiritual Grass for the Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“Yes, Master.”
Xiang Chen quickly left to prepare the Spiritual Grass for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Jin Quanxiu didn’t say anything else, and silently drank his tea, which quieted down the Cave Mansion for a while.
Although Liang Sheng found it strange that Jin Quanxiu did not ask more questions, he stayed calm, thinking there was no need to overthink things since they had reached this point.
Jin Quanxiu naturally saw Liang Sheng’s reaction and was even more satisfied. As someone who had just entered the Foundation Establishment, he had an admirable ability to maintain his composure. This child Yang Cheng had a good mindset.
Jin Quanxiu was even more satisfied with what he saw, but he still needed to see how Liang Sheng’s alchemy skills were.
Actually, even if he failed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, it wouldn’t matter. The most important thing was that he wanted to see Liang Sheng’s alchemy skills.
A failure in pill refining was always possible. Even Jin Quanxiu himself couldn’t guarantee a 100% success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Of course, he still had an 80% chance of success.
At this moment, Xiang Chen had already prepared the spiritual grass, which was still covered with a bit of dew, indicating that it had just been picked from the spiritual field. No wonder it took so much time.
Jin Quanxiu did not speak at this time. Xiang Chen merely gave Liang Sheng a look, causing Liang Sheng to feel that this situation was not simple and become even more focused.
Jin Quanxiu didn’t care about Xiang Chen’s hint, as it would be nice for the senior and junior fellow brothers to foster some feelings for each other if he were to accept Yang Cheng.
Liang Sheng didn’t immediately use his own Pill Refining Furnace. Instead, he began processing the spiritual grass one by one, his movements calm and unhurried.
Jin Quanxiu watched Liang Sheng’s technique and nodded approvingly. It seemed that while advancing his cultivation, “Yang Cheng” had not neglected his alchemy skills, which was quite rare.
Xiang Chen also nodded as he watched, thinking that Yang Cheng’s skill in handling spiritual grass was almost equal to his own. Even he might not be able to do it any better.
Astonishing talent in pill refining.
He had previously heard the Danyang Outer Peak’s Spirit Field Steward say that Yang Cheng had exchanged many techniques in the past, and Xiang Chen had worried he might overreach himself. Now, however, it seemed his worries were unnecessary, as Yang Cheng appeared to have a clear objective in mind.
As Liang Sheng finished processing the spiritual grass, he took a deep breath, took out his Pill Furnace, and began refining the pills. Jin Quanxiu and Xiang Chen, both watching closely, couldn’t help becoming more attentive at this point.
This first step of pill refining would roughly reveal the other party’s skill level and even give an idea of how successful this furnace of elixirs might be.
At this time, Liang Sheng calmly held the spiritual grass, using his hand gestures and techniques to place them into the Pill Furnace in the correct order. His pace was unhurried yet smooth and pleasing to the eye.
Time then slowly passed. Today, there was also the Spirit Field Steward who had to report the recent spiritual field income situation. However, Jin Quanxiu had no time to deal with it now.
Xiang Chen went out to quietly instruct the Steward to wait for a while at the spiritual field. Peak Master would deal with the matter when he was free. After doing so, Xiang Chen hurried back into the Cave Mansion..
