So far this time the exploration of the cave is also considered to be completed, although Alan originally did not intend to let Li Yunxiao become his servant, but as far as the results are concerned it is also considered to be good, at least Li Yunxiao did not really die, Alan also promised to let him live according to his own wishes. Li Yunxiao couldn't tell how he felt in his heart, he could feel that he was still the same Li Yunxiao, but he himself could feel that he had an extra feeling of irresistibility when facing Alan. Alan also confessed everything about himself to Li Yunxiao, anyway, it was impossible for Li Yunxiao to betray himself now.
Li Yunxiao said before that the black bear that almost killed him didn't show up until the end, Alan estimated that this black bear might have just met Li Yunxiao when it was running for it life, and was delayed by him in escaping, and had already become the sustenance of the ghost-faced spiders, after all, it wasn't easy to survive such a large group of spiders rushing at it, and it should have been thanks to the black bear that Li Yunxiao was able to escape thanks to the black bear that helped him to block the ghost-faced spiders.
Before the three left, Li Yunxiao gave the antidote to the two, which was agreed upon, and then the three divided what they had scavenged this time, the Pill King left behind basically all the techniques suitable for alchemists, so they all gave it to Li Yunxiao, Zhang Xing took some of the pills that were useful for the qi cultivation stage, and Alan just needed the money and the fourth-grade pills left behind by the Pill King, which were the Orifice Breaking Pills. At this time Li Yunxiao a little lost soul, he said to Alan that he needed a little time to digest this change and information alone and then left, Alan did not stop him, he understands that no matter who only want to live for themselves, who would be willing to lose their freedom to be a servant, but in order to survive sometimes there is no other choice, Alan told him to come back to the Sanqing Taoist Temple to find himself after he thought about it.
After returning to Sanqing Taoist Temple, Alan gave the pills to the Taoist priest Xuanji as a token of his gratitude for allowing him to stay in the Taoist Temple, and the priest gladly accepted them. The next day Alan went to the weapons store to give the materials to the forger, and the forger made a request, that is, let Zhang Xing in his place to learn the art of forging, the forger took a look at Zhang Xing's tendon meat, and found that he got good talent at forging, then agreed to it, for him is equivalent to one more free helper. Alan's idea was that he already had an alchemist servant anyway, so why not train Zhang Xing as a forger, then he would have two channels of income in the future, and he wouldn't have to work on his own, of course, this was just his good idea, but he neglected to mention that the process of learning alchemy and forging both required a large amount of materials, and at the end of the day he would still have to run around to collect the materials himself.
After a week's time, Li Yunxiao once again came to Alan, he accepted the reality that he had become a servant, but he had something he wanted to ask, "What are your plans after this? Continue to stay in this Taoist temple?" Alan shook his head, "I plan to head to the place that Daoist Master Xuanji mentioned to me once my strength reaches the JieDan stage, I want to find a way to return to the world I'm in." "Good then, I'll go with you guys then, originally I had planned to head to Luo Tian City to see if I could get better cultivation resources once I reached the Second Grade Alchemist stage, now it's just a change of scenery, and I think that being with you guys might be better than being on my own." "Good, then for the time being, let's boost our strength first, and then we'll set off together when the time comes."
The next two months Li Yunxiao and Zhang Xing were sometimes busy improving their skills, Li Yunxiao studied according to the Pill King's notes and finally succeeded in making second grade pills, reaching the level of a second grade alchemist, although Zhang Xing didn't start learning forging for a long time, but with his physical qualities he also sort of reached the level of a first grade forging master and was able to make some ordinary weapons and armor and learning forging also made Zhang Xing's muscles more. Sometimes the three of them teamed up together, with a mission to do the mission, when there's no mission the three of them ran to the Buzhou Mountain to find demons as well as to collect materials, although many times Alan did not kill the demons outside of the mission, but still the Buzhou Mountain made a mess. The trio's strength also improved in the process.
Alan: twenty-six years of cultivation, Foundation Stage, no special occupation.
Zhang Xing: twenty years of cultivation, Foundation Establishment Stage, First Grade Forger.
Li Yunxiao: twenty-four years of cultivation, Foundation Establishment Stage, Second Grade Alchemist.
Deep inside the Buzhou Mountain, a huge demonic creature was listening to the complaints from the demons of the Buzhou Mountain, saying that recently there had been the same human harassing them, although it hadn't caused too many deaths, but it was too annoying to keep coming over and stabbing them, hoping to let "it" step in to take care of this abominable human.
"Hmph, someone actually dares to be so wild in the Buzhou Mountain, it seems that my tolerance towards humans has made him stomp on his nose." The huge demonic creature's eyes revealed a ferocious light, it wanted to see what kind of person was so bold to provoke its majesty.
"Ah chirp! Who is it that is thinking of me?" Alan, who was oblivious to the fact that he was already in big trouble, wiped his nose.
