Chapter 69

For these invitations that came to his door, Chu He was momentarily at a loss and naturally had to first consult his instructor's opinion. After all, Zhang Yu had already listed him as one of his most accomplished disciples, and he had to take the lead in this matter.

As for the Treasure Talisman Pavilion and the Green Wood Hall, Chu He did not want to refuse either. Knowledge of talisman arrays would greatly aid his future cultivation. At the very least, if he were to refine artifacts and talismans in the future, this knowledge would be indispensable. The Green Wood Hall, which managed spiritual plants and alchemy, was also an essential part of cultivation.

Both were professions that could earn a large amount of spirit stones, and it would be strange if Chu He did not have his heart set on them. With the Purifying Fire, Chu He's fire spirit essence was extremely pure, and he could purify up to 20% of impurities. Not choosing the method of refining would be a sign of a muddled mind.

There was one important point: Chu He's knowledge of refining artifacts was zero, while his knowledge of alchemy could reach the Xiantian realm, as the game beta test in his previous life only reached the Xiantian realm.

According to what he knew, the Treasure Talisman Pavilion and the Green Wood Hall generally recruited disciples starting from the inner sect. The fact that they came to him now was a rare opportunity, as it was a special admission.

When he saw Zhang Yu, he also looked dazed and disoriented, as if the instructors had also bombarded him. As soon as he saw Chu He, he got straight to the point: "Where do you want to go?"

Zhang Yu was just an ordinary instructor in Green Spirit Mountain, and he was responsible for spiritual plants. There was not much more he could teach Chu He, so he also wanted Chu He to learn other knowledge. Moreover, this disciple's potential seemed to far exceed his expectations, and it would be a pleasure to see him soar in a broader sky.

Although the development of spiritual agriculture had a certain future, it still fell short compared to the prospects of alchemy and refining.

"You don't have to rush me so much, do you? After all, we have a deep teacher-student relationship, and it's too sad," Chu He touched his nose and replied in a muffled voice.

"Brat, it's for your own good. I have nothing more to teach you here. Besides, if you go elsewhere, you can come back to me for any problems with spiritual plants in the future. I might even come to you for a hot spring bath. It's not like we're parting for life," Zhang Yu did not burst his head this time, and his words carried a hint of emotion.

On the path of cultivation, the journey is long and uncertain, and parting and death are all too common. The longer one lives, the more沧桑 (沧桑 means "沧桑" which can be translated as "weathered" or "aged" in this context) one becomes, and the more memories one accumulates. Sometimes, while walking, a companion who has been helping and supporting you suddenly disappears, either falling behind, running ahead, or collapsing.

Zhang Yu's sudden sentimentality stemmed from these thoughts. Recalling the time he left his first instructor to further his studies, he imagined he must have felt the same way, looking forward to soaring higher.

Thinking of his deceased master, Zhang Yu's eyes became moist.

Chu He sensed an unusual tone in his words and was also moved, so he did not say anything more.

"Decide your own path. In the future, you will be able to face yourself without regret," Zhang Yu waved his hand, his expression somewhat sad.

Seeing this, Chu He hurriedly bid farewell and left, already having made up his mind.

If it were not for the sect's rules, Chu He would have chosen both, combining the methods of refining. Since he could only choose one, he chose the Green Wood Hall. The matter of refining could be put aside for now. Below the True Realm, the relationship between elixirs and cultivation was almost equal, and it was of utmost importance.

The Two Instruments True Method contained powerful techniques. As long as he improved his cultivation, he would not lack combat power even without good magical artifacts. The ice bird and fire bird techniques he had previously demonstrated were both derived from the true method. In fact, there were even more powerful ice and fire combination techniques, but Chu He was afraid of going too far, so he did not use them that day. Therefore, magical artifacts were less handy for Chu He now compared to techniques.

Moreover, he already had the knowledge of a low-level alchemist. As long as he improved his practical skills, refining Primordial Essence Pills would not be a problem. Clearly, alchemy was the fastest way to see results at the moment, and Chu He had no reason not to choose this and foolishly start learning refining from the basics.

Additionally, Gu Han was also a disciple in the Green Wood Hall. Going there would mean having someone to rely on and discuss with.

When he reported to Instructor Bai Li, he was overjoyed, praising Chu He for being teachable, having insight and wisdom. He personally took Chu He to run around and complete the procedures.

Upon entering the Green Wood Hall on Spirit Beauty Peak, Chu He's status changed from an outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple. Not only did his robe change to a mid-grade one, but his monthly salary also doubled, and he enjoyed discounts on medicinal herbs and elixirs.

Little did Chu He know that this opportunity of his caused quite a stir among the outer sect disciples. In the future, the arrogance of the inner sect disciples was also reduced, as a long line of outer sect disciples could challenge them to a duel at the Hatred-Extinguishing Platform if they were not careful.

Gu Han, knowing that Chu He was coming, had a similar expression to Instructor Bai Li. He hurriedly took over from the instructor, leading Chu He to familiarize himself with the environment and explaining various rules and matters.

The main hall of the Green Wood Hall was on Green Wood Peak, and the largest manager was the Green Wood Elder. Disciples like Gu Han and Chu He, who had not yet reached the Xiantian realm, generally studied at the Green Wood Hall at the foot of Spirit Beauty Peak. Only after reaching the Xiantian realm and obtaining the qualification of a low-level alchemist could they have the opportunity to be transferred to the main hall on Green Wood Peak.

Upon hearing the name of Green Wood Peak, Chu He could not help but drool: the spiritual energy on Spirit Beauty Peak was already so dense, and if it were on Green Wood Peak, it would be even stronger, truly terrifying. With the addition of a spirit-gathering array, it would be simply amazing.

Chu He originally thought that Gu Han would maliciously take him to meet Zhang Long, Luo Wu, and others, but to his surprise, he honestly led him around the hall.

Later, he learned that not all inner sect disciples were in the Green Wood Hall. After the basic courses were completed and the inner sect disciples were selected through elimination, they had to choose their future path.

Some chose the Talisman Artifact Hall, which managed the Treasure Talisman Pavilion.

Some chose the path of combat, entering the Punishment Hall.

Some chose spiritual agriculture, aiming to become spiritual plant masters.

... Various and different.

This hall was built at the foot of the mountain where there was a fire eye, with warm breezes occasionally blowing. It was several hundred acres in size, with buildings neatly arranged. Outside the hall, there was a large forest surrounding it, and a clear mountain spring was introduced, making the environment pleasant.

Not only the environment, but all the facilities and arrangements here were clearly much better than the 98th Spirit Garden. Greedily absorbing the dense spiritual energy, Chu He exclaimed that it was a good place.

However, Chu He's good mood soon ended: at a corner in the dormitory area, he suddenly encountered the few female cultivators who had bathed in the hot spring at his residence the day before.

Seeing their eyes immediately become watery, Chu He had a bad feeling. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Taking advantage of their surprised deep breath before they could shout, he pointed behind them and exclaimed in a surprised manner: "Look, a butterfly!"
