Chapter 6 - Spiritual Enlightenment Pill, start a side job!

Chapter 6: Spiritual Enlightenment Pill, start a side job!The sudden opportunity caught Gu Liuyun off guard. While others might eagerly accept it, Gu Liuyun hesitated. Danxiu was a promising support profession, easy to make money in, but dedicating himself to it would limit his combat abilities.

Gu Liuyun shook his head and politely declined, expressing that he had entered the Divine Palace for Dharma cultivation and didn’t have the energy for Danxiu.

Elder Wu, puzzled by the rejection, reminded Gu Liuyun of his status as a highly-skilled alchemist.

Gu Liuyun declined, thanking Elder Wu but saying he lacked the capability.

Elder Wu was frustrated by the repeated refusals, unable to decide whether to push him away or keep him.

Gu Liuyun worried that Elder Wu might turn hostile due to his refusals. After a tense moment, Elder Wu suddenly slammed the table, nearly startling Gu Liuyun. However, instead of running, he received a porcelain bottle from Elder Wu.

Gu Liuyun was baffled by this gesture. Elder Wu explained that the Enlightenment Pill could help cultivate the mind and allow for the pursuit of other paths simultaneously.

Gu Liuyun was astounded by the gift of the rare and precious Enlightenment Pill, a product of Heaven-ranked alchemists, which could enable him to practice alchemy alongside his primary path. Elder Wu had given him this treasure to entice him to become his disciple.

Gu Liuyun once again found himself content with his good fortune and charisma. Even though he had declined the initial opportunity, he had reaped such significant benefits. Now, what reason was there to refuse?

He greeted Elder Wu as a disciple, saying, “Master, once more, I pay my respects!”

Upon witnessing his direct apprenticeship, Elder Wu’s expression instantly transformed into a radiant smile. He had finally managed to secure this troublesome young man. Fortunately, he had won a bet with the head of the main hall last time and acquired his Enlightenment Elixir. Otherwise, this outstanding prospective disciple would have been lost.

Elder Wu stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Good disciple, please rise.”

[Ding! Successful apprentice Wu Simiao, reputation value +500!].

Gu Liuyun stood upright and expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Master, for bestowing the Enlightenment Pill. I will certainly honor and uphold the reputation of our sect in the future.”

Wu Simiao chuckled and said, “Very well, now go ahead and take the Spiritual Enlightenment Pill. After that, I will personally instruct you in alchemical cultivation.”

Gu Liuyun agreed and opened the porcelain bottle, revealing two spherical pills inside.

[Ding! Get a rare elixir: Enlightenment Pill X2! ].

“Hey, there are two pills?” Gu Liuyun raised an eyebrow, placed the extra Enlightenment Pill back into the bottle, and handed it to Wu Simiao.

“Master, there is one more grain,” he informed.

Wu Simiao, pleased with his disciple’s lack of greed, smiled even more. Most people would have coveted such precious pills for themselves, but this disciple’s selflessness was admirable.

With a wave of his robe, Wu Simiao said, “You can take this one too. Consider it a gift from your teacher as part of your initiation.”

Gu Liuyun was elated, realizing he could now pursue a secondary profession. Initially, he had planned to focus on primary Dharma cultivation, expecting it to replace his primary profession. However, with this second Enlightenment Pill, he could continue both professions, significantly boosting his early-stage combat capabilities.

Despite the challenges of mastering two primary battle professions, his full innate attributes made it entirely feasible. Once again, he expressed his gratitude to Wu Simiao, then promptly swallowed both Enlightenment Pills. As the pills dissolved in his mouth, Gu Liuyun felt a warm sensation flowing through his body, gradually spreading to every part of his being.

[Ding! Take the Spiritual Enlightenment Pill X2, successfully open the secondary occupation empty slot X2!].

Wu Simiao, upon observing that he had ingested the Spiritual Enlightenment Pill, let out a chuckle and said, “Sit in a cross-legged position, calm your mind, and allow me to instruct you in the techniques.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Liuyun promptly seated himself in a cross-legged posture and composed his thoughts.

Wu Simiao, noticing Gu Liuyun’s readiness, began to recite the incantation slowly while extending his fingers to touch the center of Gu Liuyun’s forehead. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
