There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Chapter 1217 Gathering Enough Spirit Pills

At this point, Venerable Guye chuckled, scratched his head, and looked somewhat embarrassed.

To be honest, he already owes Xu Changshou three favors, and the number of favors he owes keeps increasing, so continuing to owe them isn't a solution.

Xu Changshou was just a menial disciple, while he was a high-ranking venerable one and did not want to owe Xu Changshou a favor.

"Uncle Guye, you're too kind. It was nothing at all. I wouldn't dare to take credit for it," Xu Changshou said casually.

He said he dared not take credit, but in his heart he knew better than anyone that it was not an easy thing to get Venerable Guye to owe him a favor. The more favors he owed, the better it would be for him.

How could someone of such high status treat me poorly? He would easily grant me some small favors, enough to keep me entertained for a long time.

"Rest assured, I will never treat you unfairly."

"You're welcome."

……

“Junior Brother Guye, I heard that your three-legged thunder frog has mutilated itself again.”

While the two were talking, Venerable Red Lotus flew over from a distance with a smile.

"Senior Sister Honglian."

"Disciple Xu Changshou greets Martial Aunt Honglian." Xu Changshou bowed respectfully.

"Ok!"

Venerable Red Lotus nodded slightly, then looked at Venerable Guye: "Junior Brother Guye, how is the Three-Legged Thunder Frog?"

"Fortunately!"

Venerable Guye smiled and said, "After young Xu's treatment, the three-legged thunder frog's condition has improved."

Honglian looked at Xu Changshou and asked, "What's wrong with the three-legged thunder frog? It keeps getting sick. Can it ever get better?"

Xu Changshou's face fell as he said, "My cultivation level is too low. If I can break through to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, I can completely cure the Three-Legged Thunder Frog's psychological illness."

"That's it!"

Venerable Guye frowned, lost in thought.

Honglian frowned and asked, "So, before you break through to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, the Three-Legged Thunder Frog will have an attack every now and then."

"Yes!" Xu Changshou nodded solemnly.

Venerable Guye said with distress, "After Xu boy treated it last time, it only lasted for five years. Moreover, this time it injured itself and the three-legged thunder frog bled a lot. It breaks my heart."

Venerable Red Lotus solemnly said, "Junior Brother Guye, during this period, do not take the essence blood of the Three-Legged Thunder Frog, so as not to cause irreversible damage."

"That's that."

Venerable Guye quickly said, "I will never take its essence blood until the three-legged thunder frog is fully recovered. The three-legged thunder frog gets injured every time it has an attack, and I can't bear to take it even if you ask me to."

Venerable Red Lotus laughed and said, "Since he gets injured every time he has an attack, why not let Xu boy stay with the Three-Legged Thunder Frog until he recovers?"

"Great idea!" Venerable Guye smiled.

Venerable Red Lotus looked at Xu Changshou again and asked, "Young Xu, if I let you stay by the side of the Three-Legged Thunder Frog, can you guarantee that it will never get hurt?"

"can!"

Xu Changshou assured, "As long as I am in the Thunder Pool, the Three-Legged Thunder Frog will not be injured."

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Guye laughed loudly: "Young Xu, could you do me a favor and keep an eye on the three-legged thunder frog for me?"

"This..." Xu Changshou hesitated.

Venerable Guye frowned: "What, you're unwilling?"

Xu Changshou smiled bitterly: "It is my honor to be able to work for Uncle Guye, but I am in Sima Jian and have no choice in what I do."

"Ha ha!"

Venerable Guye laughed and said, "That's no problem. I'll just ask Hua San Niang for the person. She won't dare to object."

Xu Changshou nodded: "As long as Uncle Hua agrees, this disciple has no problem."

Venerable Guye thought for a moment and said, "The Sima Jian is a place for menial disciples. It's not a good idea for you to stay in the Sima Jian forever."

At this point, Venerable Guye smiled slightly and continued, "Young Xu, are you interested in learning alchemy from me?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Changshou had a sudden realization: it seemed that Venerable Guye wanted to accept him as a disciple.

"You brat, hurry up and become my disciple!" Venerable Red Lotus urged from the side.

Xu Changshou's face fell, and he said, "Uncle Guye, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't have the talent for alchemy and dare not take up your time."

In any case, Xu Changshou would never agree to become Guye's disciple.

First of all, Xu Changshou has a master. His master is Lei Zu, who is a generation higher than Bai Wenlong and others. In terms of seniority, he and Bai Wenlong are of the same generation, and he is a generation higher than Gu Ye Venerable.

Under these circumstances, it was certainly impossible for him to become a disciple of Gu Ye.

If he hadn't already taken Lei Zu as his master, he would have accepted him without hesitation.

Secondly, Xu Changshou studied the Dao of Talismans. The Dao of Talismans alone was enough for him to study for a lifetime, so he simply didn't have time to learn alchemy.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Guye's face darkened: "You rascal, you're quite the honest one."

He had assumed that, given his esteemed status, extending an olive branch to a lowly servant disciple to accept him as a disciple would surely earn the latter's gratitude, but to his surprise, he was rejected.

Honglian was also taken aback.

It's hard to understand what Xu Changshou was thinking. The fact that Venerable Guye accepted him as a disciple, even if he didn't learn alchemy, was a tremendous opportunity for him. No matter what, it was better than being a menial servant.

Looking at Xu Changshou's calm expression, Venerable Guye was both angry and amused.

"Enough, enough, we have no fate as master and disciple."

Venerable Guye waved his hand and said, "From today onwards, you will cultivate in the Thunder Pool. You don't need to worry about Hua San Niang; I will speak to her."

"I still have the task of taming horses," Xu Changshou said weakly.

Venerable Guye laughed and said, "Let's put the horse taming task aside for now. Kid, do you think I'll let you help me for nothing? Tell me, how many Void Spirit Pills do you need when you break through to the late stage of Void Refinement? I'll provide them all for you."

"Thank you, Venerable Guye."

Xu Changshou was overjoyed upon hearing this. He lacked nothing except the Spirit Elixir.

Next, Xu Changshou did some serious calculations and said, "Uncle-Master Guye, I still need thirty more Void Spirit Pills to break through to the late stage of Void Refinement."

That's right, Xu Changshou only needed thirty Void Spirit Pills. He only asked for thirty and didn't dare to ask for more.

It wasn't that he didn't want more, but he was embarrassed. After all, the three-legged thunder frog wasn't sick; it was the one scheming against Venerable Guye. Xu Changshou was already satisfied with breaking through to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, so how could he have the nerve to ask for an exorbitant amount?

As for the cultivation resources needed after breaking through to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, we'll talk about that later.

Upon hearing Xu Changshou's words, Venerable Guye was also taken aback. He thought Xu Changshou would ask for an exorbitant amount, but unexpectedly, he only asked for thirty Void Spirit Pills.

"You're just too honest, kid."

Venerable Guye rolled his eyes at him and said, "Here's what we'll do: until you break through to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, you'll stay in the Thunder Pool and watch over the Three-Legged Thunder Frog for me. No matter when you break through, I'll give you fifty Void Spirit Pills."

Venerable Guye patted his storage bag, and five white porcelain bottles flew out and floated lightly to Xu Changshou's front.

"In order not to delay your cultivation, I will give you the pills first."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Guye."

Xu Changshou was overjoyed as he put away the five white porcelain bottles.
