Chapter 74 That Master Isn't Fun
The first thing to do when you live in a place is naturally to set up a protective barrier.

She also knew that there were many experts in Yougu Palace, and if someone wanted to listen, this barrier could not stop them at all.

But to truly listen, they also need to break through this barrier.

Simply put, it can deter honest people, but not scoundrels.

It does have some effect.

After setting up the barrier, Liu Sijun took the bottle and arranged the pills, placing the fifth-grade pills inside the bottle.

The first step has been taken; now it's time to wait and see.

Inside the Yaohua Hall on the main peak, Palace Master Wan was digesting the news he had just received: the newly recruited disciple had refined a fifth-grade pill within a month.

Grade 5 pills are not uncommon.

However, the fact that someone with only the early stage of the Golden Core realm could refine a fifth-grade pill was enough to astonish the entire sect, but this matter was not spread.

Ji He did the right thing in this regard.

Although it's a good thing, it's not advisable to publicize it widely.

"Go to Jinxia Peak and have Ji He come over."

The attendant Zou Cheng replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zou Cheng had been serving Palace Master Wan for ten years. He was very curious as to why matters concerning Golden Cloud Peak could not be communicated by voice but instead required a personal visit.

He had also secretly asked Meng Xinjie, who was also a servant, but Meng Xinjie remained silent about it.

Half an hour later, Zoucheng arrived at Jinxia Peak.

The palace gates remained tightly shut as always. Fortunately, Letian was outside. It was always Letian who came, so they were already quite familiar with each other.

"Is Peak Master Ji here?"

"The peak master is refining pills and has instructed that no one should disturb him."

Zou Cheng rubbed his hands, looking very troubled: "But, the Palace Master has something to discuss with Peak Master Ji and needs him to go there immediately."

“I really can’t make that decision. You know how badly Peak Master Ji is tempered. If anyone disturbs him while he’s refining pills and prevents him from finishing, he’ll dare to curse even Palace Master Wan.”

The six elders of Yougu Palace all held Palace Master Wan in high esteem.

At least outwardly, they showed respect.

This Peak Master Ji is the only one who doesn't give face to anyone, especially Palace Master Wan.

He unilaterally cut off contact with the main peak. Even the dignified Palace Master has to send someone to invite him if he needs something, like now.

"Then, when will Peak Master Ji be better?"

"How would I know!"

Every time this happens, Zou Cheng feels like cursing under his breath.

“Alright, since Peak Master Ji doesn’t have time, Uncle-Master Le Tian, ​​please come with me. That way, I can give you some instructions.”

"it is good."

Lotte responded readily.

This is clearly not the first time this has happened.

"Palace Master, Letian has arrived."

Lotte readily agreed, saying, "Palace Master, Peak Master Ji is currently refining pills and has no time to come. If there are any questions, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

That's it again.

Palace Master Wan looked at Le Tian with displeasure: "Go back and tell Peak Master Ji to make sure that the restriction is lifted. I have tolerated him for so many years, which is more than enough."

Le Tian respectfully replied, "Yes, disciple will certainly convey the Palace Master's words."

Watching Le Tian leave, Palace Master Wan immediately sent a telepathic message to the Third Elder, instructing him to bring his newly recruited disciple to Yaohua Palace.

Liu Sijun was not surprised when he received the message from the Third Elder.

She told Li Qing, "I'm going out for a while. Wait for me to come back."

"Ah."

Liu Sijun went to Qingxu Hall first, and then he and the Third Elder flew to Dianming Peak on their swords.

The distance between Huangyan Peak and Dianming Peak was short, and Song Hongyuan quickly led her there.

Standing outside the hall, Song Hongyuan asked, "Do you know why the Palace Master wants to see you?"

"Because my disciple refined a fifth-grade pill?"

Song Hongyuan nodded: "Just answer whatever the Palace Master asks later."

Liu Sijun lowered his eyelids: "Disciple understands."

A month later, I stepped into Yaohua Hall again. It was as magnificent as before, except that the other elders were not there.

Song Hongyuan: "Palace Master."

Liu Sijun bowed in a disciple's salute: "Disciple Liu Sijun greets Palace Master." Palace Master Wan's eyes were full of inquiry: "Did you bring the fifth-grade pills you refined?"

Liu Sijun replied, "I gave it to Master Ji He this morning, but he hasn't returned it yet!"

It’s like this!

He continued, "How long have you been studying alchemy?"

Liu Sijun answered truthfully: "Less than three years."

"Who did you learn it from?"

Liu Sijun gave the same answer as on Jinxia Peak: "Lu Lingfeng".

I've never heard of Ji He.

Even the Palace Master of Natural Palace had never heard of it.

They thought he was just an unknown person with a little talent and didn't care.

However, it's still necessary to ask the questions that need to be clarified.

"Have you ever gone through the apprenticeship ceremony?"

Liu Sijun nodded: "Yes!"

The greatest taboo on the path of cultivation is to take multiple teachers, and the same applies to alchemy.

Palace Master Wan said unhappily, "Now that you have joined the Yougu Palace, don't mention this Lu Lingfeng again. Your master now is Song Hongyuan, remember that?"

Liu Sijun lowered his eyes: "Yes."

No matter when, there was only one person in her heart, and that was Master Lu Dan, and Xu Hechen, who had no choice but to hide his identity.

Palace Master Wan was very satisfied with Liu Sijun's attitude.

I am even more satisfied with her talent.

In Yougu Palace, there are about ten Golden Core cultivators who are sixteen years old, which is not unusual. However, besides that person, she is the second person who can refine a Grade 5 pill at the early stage of Golden Core.

Liu Sijun is the one with the lowest cultivation level among those who can refine fifth-grade pills.

In other words...

This matter will be kept secret for now. As I said before, there are many young geniuses, but also many who fall from grace.

Very few of them manage to grow up.

It needs to be well protected; perhaps in the near future, Yougu Palace will shock the entire cultivation world.

"Third Elder, teach them well."

Palace Master Wan's careful instructions clearly showed his high regard for Liu Sijun.

"Yes."

Undoubtedly, Liu Sijun has already caught the eye of Palace Master Wan. From now on, their cultivation resources at Huangyan Peak will be more than usual, and naturally, the medicinal materials needed for alchemy will also increase accordingly.

Back at Huangyan Peak, Song Hongyuan said, "This is my waist token. In the future, if you need to refine pills, you can go to the pill refining room at any time, and you can take whatever medicinal materials you need without any worries."

Absolute fairness is impossible within a sect.

Everything depends on strength.

Her abilities are enough to warrant special treatment.

"Yes."

After watching the Third Elder leave, Liu Sijun returned to her own courtyard.

Li Qing lay sprawled on the edge of the pond, staring idly at the fish in the water.

Seeing her older sister return, she jumped up happily: "Sister!"

"Qing'er, do you think it's fun here?"

Li Qing shook her head: "It's not fun."

"Then, in a few days I'll send you down the mountain to find your master, okay?"

Li Qing pointed at Qingxu Hall: "That master isn't fun!"

"not him."

Li Qing finally understood and nodded vigorously: "Okay."

The next day, after finishing their cultivation, Liu Sijun did not rush to the alchemy room, but instead took Li Qing to the library.

The library in Yougu Palace contains many ancient alchemical formulas.

Her master was very knowledgeable, but that didn't mean he remembered everything; she wanted to see more.

"Why is there no one?"

Fourth Senior Sister said that the library is usually packed with people.
