The Path to Becoming Immortal

An unusually sumptuous meal was soon placed on the stone table in the courtyard. This was also Ning Ping's request. It felt that the courtyard was more lively.

"Sister Qing, let's have a toast to celebrate that we have a home!" Ning Ping bought some wine to celebrate. It seemed that this was the first time he had a serious drink.

"Home~ Yes, we have a home." Shen Qingyao also raised her glass, feeling dazed. She didn't expect that she could still have a home after such a big change.

After a few drinks, the two of them became more casual. With the delicious food, the two who survived the disaster devoured it.

"What do you want to do in the future?" Shen Qingyao raised her slightly red face and chatted.

"Me! I want to be an alchemist in the future. Help my sister to make pills, and then become a powerful cultivator."

"Okay, I believe that one day I will definitely be able to eat the pills you made by yourself." Shen Qingyao was very happy. She didn't expect Ning Ping to still want to make pills for her.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to refine it, what about you, Senior Sister!"

"Me? I don't know either. I just want to practice well now and not be bullied in the future." Shen Qingyao thought of the tragic scene in Chunhui Valley at this moment.

Ning Ping also noticed what the other party was thinking, so he casually said: "Don't worry, I'm here. We will be together in the future. Whoever wants to bully my sister must first ask me if I agree."

"Well, okay, whoever bullies us in the future will be beaten. Thank you, Brother Ning!" Shen Qingyao was very moved when she saw Ning Ping's little adult appearance, and tears fell involuntarily.

"Sister, I don't have a relative anymore. From today on, you are my real sister." Ning Ping immediately raised the wine glass.

"Well, you will be my real brother in the future. Don't blame me for controlling you everywhere in the future." Shen Qingyao smiled and raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The two never mentioned the destroyed Nanhua Gate from beginning to end. Shen Qingyao didn't know what to think, but Ning Ping had already forgotten about the Nanhua Gate, and even had no interest in which force had made the move. Even if he knew, it would be useless. Anyway, he had no idea of ​​revenge.

Under the moonlight, they had a dinner full of the atmosphere of fireworks, and they also forgot about the previous things. The two slept very soundly that night, and even Ning Ping, who had always been accustomed to practicing, slept well all night.

The next morning, Ning Ping woke up late for a rare time. When he came out, he saw the breakfast that had been prepared long ago, and he really felt at home.

"Sister, why didn't you call me."

"I saw that you slept so comfortably, so I asked you to sleep a little longer. Go wash first and come to eat."

While eating breakfast, Ning Ping remembered some things he had inquired about when the errand boy was chatting yesterday.

"Oh, sister, I'll go to the square to see if there's anything to do."

"Okay, let's go together later."

The two of them came to the square again and headed to the south opposite the City Lord's Mansion. They had noticed a lot of people there yesterday. It can be said that it was the place with the most people in the entire Guangming City. When they got closer, they saw the words "Business Alliance" on it. This is exactly the place where the servant said that you can earn spiritual stones.

The Business Alliance is an organization of many merchants, involving all aspects of the cultivation world, and is also a very important source of spiritual stones for many cultivators.

A large number of tasks are issued here every day, such as hunting monsters, finding items, purchasing materials, etc., and of course there are also matters related to alchemy.

As soon as they entered the hall of the Business Alliance, the two were stunned instantly. It was very lively inside. Opposite was a wide staircase leading to the second floor. On the right was an area selling various items, including elixirs, weapons, spiritual medicines, talismans, and some things that Ning Ping had never seen. The whole hall was like a market.

And on the left was a place that the other two found extremely novel.

The entire upper left side was glowing with fluorescent light, and some information was constantly scrolling on it. It was the posted tasks, such as hunting monsters, purchasing certain items, looking for something, etc., and the counter below was the place for consultation and submission of tasks.

Later, I learned that the thing that was constantly displayed was a formation set up by a stone called a shadow.

After looking for a long time, I finally saw some jobs related to alchemy, which was Ning Ping's skilled refining of spiritual medicine.

The two came to the marked counter at the back and asked.

"I want to find a job refining spiritual medicine, how should I do it."

"For this, you need an alchemist to recommend you, or you need to obtain the qualification of an alchemist yourself." The guy explained it seriously as soon as he heard it, which shows that people in the field of alchemy are quite respected.

Ning Ping was immediately overwhelmed when he heard it. He couldn't do either of these two things, especially the recommendation of the alchemist. He didn't know any of his own people. It seemed that he could only try the second way. He also noticed that what he said just now was not an alchemist, but an alchemist. It seems that the distinction here is still very detailed.

"Then where can I get the qualification to become a pharmacist?"

"Look, the counter at the back is where you can apply for the test. Good luck!"

"Oh, okay, thank you!"

After that, the two of them came to the back counter together, and saw an older man resting his eyes.

"Uncle, how do you take the test for a pharmacist?" Ning Ping asked.

The uncle slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Ning Ping, and then said, "Come back after you reach the third level of Qi Refining. This is the minimum standard."

Ning Ping was immediately confused when he heard this. He did not expect that there would be such a request: "Uncle, I have learned to refine spiritual medicine before, so is it not okay?"

Probably because Ning Ping was relatively young and quite polite, he explained: "Even if you have refined some spiritual medicines before, because your internal energy is not strong enough, you can't refine many spiritual medicines at all, otherwise the loss caused will not be enough for you to compensate. I advise you to try it after the fifth level of Qi Refining, otherwise it will be difficult for you to earn spiritual stones through this method."

Ning Ping was stunned. His original confidence was instantly stunned.

"When you reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, if you have confidence, you can even take the assessment of alchemy. A mere alchemist is actually just doing hard labor. Go back and practice well. You are still young, don't worry." Probably because Ning Ping was still young and dressed well, he thought he was a rich young man who came out to experience life.

After Ning Ping thanked him, he was still a little dazed. He didn't expect that the road he had placed his most hope on was blocked. To be honest, it was still hopeful to break through the third level of Qi Refining in the short term with the remaining pills, but it would be a long way to go for the fifth level of Qi Refining. Unless there was a constant supply of pills for him to take, it would be almost the same, but it was unrealistic at the moment.

"It's okay, we'll look for something else later." Shen Qingyao comforted Ning Ping when she saw his disappointed expression.

"Sister, I'm fine, I'll improve my cultivation and come back later."

"Well, let's go and have a look."

After that, the two began to look for suitable tasks again.
