Chapter 10 Water and Fire Refiner

Yu Que felt a chill in his heart.

He understood that although his level of teaching the household gods had greatly improved today, he almost fell into the devil's trap just now.

If it weren't for the two young sisters still in the house, being very popular, he would also remember the teachings of the doorman, Mr. Qing.

Even if he didn't fall into the devil's trap today, he would probably be changed by the household god and become even more extreme and arrogant!

Yu Que ate noodles silently while reflecting on himself in his heart.

At the same time, he became more determined to enter the county school to practice.

As a member of the Fu clan who comes from another family, although he has half Fu blood flowing in his body, the true immortal inheritance and teachings of the elders in the clan have nothing to do with him.

Only by entering the county school could he receive orthodox instruction in Taoism.

Otherwise, if you only rely on a classic book on "Immortality" and a few words from others to study on your own, dangers similar to today's will inevitably occur again.

Squeak!

The sound of a door opening and heavy footsteps were heard, immediately attracting the three people who were slurping noodles.

It was my uncle and aunt who came back.

A tired voice sounded: "When you two are done eating, hurry back to your rooms and stop being such night owls."

After sending the two cousins ​​back to their rooms, the aunt silently cleared the dishes on the table. The uncle sat next to Yu Que, frowned, took out his pipe, and smoked silently.

After a long while, my uncle finally spoke: "When did you raise a household god?"

Yu Que replied, "Not long ago, three days before I came back, I was refining in the fire room of the county school."

"From the looks of it, it doesn't look like an ordinary cat spirit or monster?"

"It's definitely not." Yu Que paused and said:

"It's a zombie family god, scientifically known as a cat-faced zombie with a human body."

After a few brief words, the scene fell into silence again.

After several breaths, my uncle's sigh was heard in the living room:

"Zombie-type household gods can be said to be the best among the ninth-grade household gods. They are strong and can fight and carry heavy loads. Their only shortcoming is that they are a bit stupid and have difficulty in moving. But your household god is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is very agile. He is the top choice among the ninth-grade household gods. I'm afraid there are not many in the clan who are better than him...

Good, that’s great.”

Hearing his uncle's praise, Yu Que smiled, but when he raised his head, he saw his uncle staring at him in a daze.

A rough big hand immediately pressed down on his head, causing Yu Que to look down.

The uncle's voice was a little unnatural: "How much suffering and pain you must have endured, child."

When Yu Que heard this, his throat suddenly felt choked up and he didn't know what to say in response.

It was my aunt who heard what they said. She came over, slapped my uncle's hand, and said complainingly:
"The child is already so old, and has more potential than you, yet you still touch the child's head casually."

My uncle withdrew his hand in dismay, but right after scolding him, my aunt wiped her tears and whispered:
"It's a good thing you're back, otherwise how would your aunt and uncle explain to your father and mother?"

Yu Que's father and uncle are brothers, and his mother and aunt are also sisters.

The two brothers had a hard life since childhood, but fortunately the elder one had a promising future. When he was young, he raised a family god, worked in the county government, and was favored by the Fu family and married a woman from a branch of the Fu family.

Unfortunately, later on, Yu Que's father and mother both died at the hands of evil spirits. The younger of the two brothers, Yu Que's uncle, had no choice but to take Yu Que to live with the Fu clan, and finally became a son-in-law and married his aunt. The two daughters were named Fu instead of Yu.

Therefore, no matter whether he is the uncle or the aunt, they are both related to Yu Que by blood. Although they are not his biological parents, they are almost like his. They even treat Yu Que with a little more respect than ordinary parents raising their children.

Such a family environment is also what Yu Que is most grateful for after awakening his wisdom, and he is extremely grateful.

"Okay, let's talk, what are you doing here?"

My uncle coughed lightly and said to my aunt in a feigned anger, "Go back to your room and see if those two guys have gone to bed."

The aunt glared at the uncle fiercely. She did not refute, but snatched the pipe from the uncle's hand, extinguished it with a cold snort, and took it away. The uncle smacked his lips with a look of pity, raised his eyes and saw Yu Que staring at him with a smile, and then glared at Yu Que with bulging eyes.

"Let's get down to business! If you raise a household god, you can take the minor examinations.

After all the trouble you've caused today, your parents' legacy will be preserved, but those bastards in the clan may target you even more, so you better be careful."

The uncle said in a deep voice: "Now if there is anything that your uncle can help you with, just tell me."

Yu Que hesitated. He knew that his family of five had no savings at all, and his uncle was just a small employee of Yexiangsi with no power or influence.

Finally, my uncle chuckled:

"Now that you have grown up, you should know what is important and what is not. Your career is the most important thing right now.

While your uncle is still in the Yexiang Division, he is considered a member of the government. You should make your request quickly. Otherwise, it will be difficult when your uncle is laid off."

These words made Yu Que's eyes slightly cold.

He understood what his uncle meant. Although his uncle's job at Yexiangsi was actually obtained because of Yu Que's parents, it was only through the hands of the Fu clan that he was able to get and secure it.

Yu Que caused such a big fuss in the clan today, and even blatantly crippled an elder. Even if the clan would not put him in jail for the sake of face, it is still very likely that they would mistreat his family secretly and have someone replace his uncle's position.

Yu Que had already anticipated this price.

So he stopped being so hypocritical, let out a long breath, and said to his uncle seriously:

"I am ashamed. I have nothing else to ask for right now. I just hope that you can find me a master's introductory inheritance.

If I can have this, my nephew will be almost certain to win the small event next year!"

"Master of Alchemy?" There was a hint of hesitation on my uncle's face, but he didn't hesitate for long. He gritted his teeth and said affirmatively:
"Good! Good ambition.

Damn it, even if you beg me, I will get you a copy of the alchemist's inheritance."

Yu Que stood up and bowed to the other party with a serious expression: "Thank you, uncle!"

Refining is the most advanced skill among the immortals. Its role in the current immortal way far exceeds that of alchemy, talisman drawing, weapon refining, spiritual plants, mining and so on.

Because those that the alchemist refines and saves are the evil spirits and ghosts in the world.

It can use pools of water and swamps of fire to grind away ghosts and eliminate evil spirits, and transform evil spirits into household gods for the immortals to restrain and adopt, thereby deriving immortal arts.

It should be noted that when the immortals first enter the ninth level, it is okay. The first one or two often do not need a refiner, but as time goes by.

As the bound ghosts become stronger and more numerous, the evil nature of the household gods also becomes stronger. If all of them are taken into the body without being refined, it is only a matter of time before the immortal goes astray. He may even be defiled and transformed into an evil ghost.

In addition, the alchemist can also turn decay into magic. For example, through rituals and various offerings, he can transform a "ninth-grade" ghost into a "ninth-grade" household god. He can also suppress an area, transform the ghost area into a good area, and relieve worries and eliminate evil.

In short, the Alchemist is the most important, most scarce, and most noble profession in the world of immortals today!

If Yu Que could become an alchemist before taking the Xiaoju exam, then even without the support of his clan behind him, with all his qualifications, he would definitely be on the list.

If the Seventh County School refuses to accept him, he will still be eligible to go to other regions to take the examinations and practice as usual.

Of course, since the position of Alchemist is so noble, the difficulty of becoming one can be imagined. Even though the imperial court has vigorously promoted it, there is still a shortage of Alchemists among the people.

There is no other reason for this.

To become a master of alchemy, both talent and resources are necessary, but often those who have talent do not have sufficient resources, and those who have resources do not have enough talent.

Moreover, any time of refining is full of dangers. If you are not careful, the ghosts will retaliate and hurt you.

The entry requirements for this business are both harsh and dangerous, which has eliminated too many immortals who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

However, as Yu Que pondered this, his eyes were firm, and he believed that he was one of the chosen refiners!

Because every time he touched the small black gourd in his sleeve, his confidence would increase.
