My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 94 Even the finest jade in the world pales in comparison.

A young woman dressed in a white dress, with a cool and aloof demeanor, slowly walked out from the back mountain.

The Lone Sword, gleaming with a three-foot-long cold light, followed silently behind her.

She tossed a blue bell in her hand, making a tinkling sound. Seeing that there were outsiders present, she tossed the bell to Lüyun.

Green Bamboo Joyfully took it and played with it in her hands. Miss Bamboo Bell has refined several of these, and each one seems to be of better quality than the last.

Even better, they're all hers, no one's fighting over them, hehe.

Master Lu closed the book in his hand, gazed deeply at her, and then walked out. He knew that this must be the owner of Pine Forest Cottage, and the very person he had come to visit today.

After stopping, Chu Lengyu smiled slightly and said, "I've kept you both waiting."

"It's alright, it's alright," said Master Lu kindly.

Seeing Lin Li's gaze occasionally sweep over her, his eyes filled with a complex mix of admiration and unspoken emotions, Chu Lengyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does Patriarch Lin have something to say?"

He coughed lightly before saying, "To be honest, I once heard someone in the capital call you 'Jade Fairy,' but after seeing your true face today, I realize that this title is really inappropriate."

"Oh? What's wrong with it?" she asked curiously, her eyes darting around.

Lin Li paused, then sighed, "No jade in the world can compare to you, young lady."

"Patriarch Lin has excellent eloquence."

Chu Lengyu had already heard many compliments about her appearance, so she simply gave a light compliment and changed the subject.

Lin Li lowered his head and thought to himself, no wonder Uncle Jiu had told him before he left that he should never try to take advantage of her.

Even setting aside her appearance, she was a captivating figure simply by standing there, serene and composed, yet impossible for anyone to ignore.

Such a woman is truly desirable but unattainable.

"I was being presumptuous," Lin Li said apologetically.

Chu Lengyu waved her hand gently, indicating that Lin Li did not need to be so polite.

She turned to look at Master Lu.

This person has fluctuations of spiritual energy, but they are very weak.

Since Chu Lengyu didn't start her cultivation from scratch, she didn't know exactly what the early stage of Qi Refining looked like. However, judging from the slight spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Master Lu, she estimated that he was probably only at the first level of Qi Refining, possessing some spiritual energy, but not much at all.

Because Chu Lengyu concealed her aura very well, without revealing it at all, Master Lu did not notice anything unusual.

However, when Master Lu was about to use his Qi-observation technique to investigate its true nature, a warning suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was as if an invisible net was tightly binding his meager intentions, reminding him that if he acted rashly, he would surely get burned and suffer unpredictable backlash!

The warning was far stronger than ever before; Master Lu felt a chill rise from his spine and pierce his heart. He had never imagined that he would feel such a strong threat in front of a young girl.

For a moment, Master Lu was filled with a mixture of surprise and doubt, his expression shifting between light and dark, and he had no choice but to re-examine the person in front of him.

Chu Lengyu glanced at the book in his hand and said, "The reason I invited Master Lu here this time is because I obtained the inheritance of an ancient alchemy technique by chance, and I wish to pass it on to benefit the world..."

"What!" Master Lu exclaimed in astonishment, "It's out?!"

Chu Lengyu had anticipated that he might have a strong reaction, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong.

Upon suddenly hearing such a roar, she frowned and said, "I was indeed planning to spread it."

This low-level alchemy inheritance, along with the bronze alchemy furnace and the green wood alchemy fire, were all system rewards she received from writing in her diary over the past two days.

To be honest, Chu Lengyu didn't think it was necessary to keep such a low-level alchemy inheritance to herself; she was sure she would have something better in the future.

Besides, what good is alchemy?

Besides the techniques of manipulating spiritual energy, alchemy also requires many external things, such as alchemy furnaces, spiritual herbs, earth fire or spiritual fire... It's not such a simple matter.

Even if she were to reveal this inheritance, everyone would still be stuck on the hurdle of lacking materials.

If someone can actually produce the materials and refine the elixir, it's tantamount to revealing their identity.

Upon hearing this, Master Lu stared intently at her and asked, "Then... that inheritance, may I have a look at it?"

Even if it's a trap, even if it's counterfeit, he's willing to personally verify its authenticity.

Chu Lengyu looked at him and nodded inwardly.

She respects everyone who has diligently studied and mastered their field. Such professionals are exactly what she needs.

She could tell that this white-haired old man was genuinely passionate about alchemy. Perhaps he was the person she was looking for, someone who could cherish and truly carry forward this tradition.

She is a cultivator, but she does not look down on mortals.

Because Chu Lengyu was once a mortal.

Moreover, although mortals are weak, they know how to use wisdom and tools to make up for their shortcomings and move forward through hardships.

Why are there cultivators in this world? Isn't this path precisely what our predecessors explored step by step in their yearning for immortality and freedom?

Although she was a opportunist who took shortcuts through the system, she would never forget this.

A flood of thoughts surged forth, only to quickly subside. With a flick of her fingertip, Chu Lengyu sent a jade scroll flying from her storage pouch, hovering before Master Lu's eyes, radiating a soft, warm glow.

She asked, "Do you have a divine consciousness?"

"Divine consciousness? What is that?" Master Lu asked in confusion, a hint of bewilderment and curiosity flashing in his eyes, clearly unfamiliar with the term.

At the same time, he looked at the jade scroll that shimmered with a faint light, his face showing surprise.

Seeing this, Chu Lengyu didn't say anything and immediately put the jade slip away.

Although she didn't speak, Master Lu felt inexplicably slighted. Could it be that "divine sense" was something common?

Then, she took out a stack of books from her storage bag.

Master Lu looked down and saw that the covers and sizes of these books were exactly the same as the one in his hand!

“These are all part of the heritage; take a look first,” she explained.

Upon seeing this, Master Lu hesitated and said, "Miss Chu, these books are clearly newly copied..."

The scent of pine resin ink on the book was very noticeable.

"Indeed, I just copied these from the jade slip yesterday," Chu Lengyu nodded. Fortunately, she had divine sense, which was like a printer, so processing them wasn't difficult.

Upon hearing this, Master Lu picked up another book, flipped through it, and found that the plant illustrations and annotations on it were still things he had never heard of before.

Holding the book, he couldn't help but ask, "I've never seen anything like this before. Does Miss Chu have it here?"

"Not for now," Chu Lengyu readily admitted. "That's precisely the main reason I invited the alchemist here."

"I'd like to hear the details," said Master Lu, his curiosity piqued, and he adopted a posture of listening attentively.

Chu Lengyu said seriously, "To be honest, the inheritance I obtained is too ancient. Most of the spiritual herbs in it have become extinct, and I cannot gather the complete formula. I am not knowledgeable about pharmacology, nor do I recognize the herbs of this world. It is a waste of my talents to have this inheritance in my hands."

"So, what Miss Chu means is..." Master Lu asked in surprise.

"I would like to ask the alchemist to use the medicines of this world to replicate this ancient alchemy formula!"

_______________________

In case some readers don't understand or misunderstand, I'll explain it here.

First, Chu Lengyu needs magical treasures and elixirs on her path to immortality.

However, she doesn't intend to rely entirely on the system and the daily random rewards. Instead, she wants to explore the resources and potential of this world to give herself more options.

That's why she had the idea of ​​traveling around to find materials for refining weapons and to find alchemists to help her cultivate spiritual herbs and refine spiritual pills.

Second, Chu Lengyu's objectives were multiple.

The so-called "jointly refining miraculous elixirs to benefit the world" was a smokescreen and a hook she used to lure out the outside world, which will be explained in the main text later.

Her main purpose was to satisfy her own needs.

Secondly, it's about giving ordinary people in this world a chance. Let people like Master Lu Dan come into contact with the path of cultivation, see if the people in this world have the potential for her to invest in them, and train a few subordinates to handle miscellaneous matters for her in the future.

(Huang Yi and his team have fixed strengths and limited potential, so they can only be assigned errands and odd jobs.)

As for those who pray to her outside the Pine Forest Cottage, she will help them as much as possible.

But she won't ask for anything in return. Don't misunderstand, she really doesn't lack money, nor does she need it.
