Chapter 253: Fengyue Pavilion (two in one chapter)(2/2)
There are very few monks who are willing to spend money to look at spiritual stones for temporary pleasure, so the price cannot be high.
Unlike spiritual food, it can indeed be beneficial to spiritual practice.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, look, do we want that..."
Wu Chang chuckled, showing a smile that even a male cultivator would understand, and asked.
The purpose of inviting Liu Yu here this time was to please him. Naturally, he would not just call people over so casually. What if the uncle doesn't like this?
He doesn't want to steal the chicken but lose the rice!
Wu Chang knew that he was old. With the current preparations, the chance of success in foundation building was extremely low. Taking the risk was just a thought but an obsession in his heart.
He has already thought about it. If the foundation building fails, he will apply to leave the sect and spend the rest of his life in the secular world.
But every gift from fate has a price tag.
The sect is not a charity hall either.
The monthly salary payment will be halved at the age of sixty after all hope of foundation building is lost.
Moreover, he must serve the sect until he is at least seventy years old and pay a huge amount of spiritual stones for a monk in the Qi refining stage before he is allowed to leave.
All in all, the sect will not suffer losses.
But if you don't leave the sect, you can still live a good life.
If you want to collect this amount of spiritual stones by doing sect tasks, you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, and by then it will be too late to spread your branches or enjoy life.
And Liu Yu is an alchemist, and he is not stingy in taking action. If you can do things for him, the benefits will definitely be more than executing the sect.
Therefore, Wu Chang became interested.
Liu Yu did not speak, but picked up a thin book on the table that looked like a menu and flipped through it.
There are indeed various spiritual food pictures, flavors, and general introductions to their effects, which occupies about half of the menu.
But after halfway through, the painting style suddenly changed, and the paper turned into various female cultivators wearing cool clothes, doing various provocative poses. There was also a detailed introduction next to it, indicating the cultivation level, name, age, size, and
Quotation.
Turning to the last few pages, there are even female cultivators in the foundation building stage!
"These female nuns should not be from the sect."
Liu Yu looked calm as this thought flashed through her mind.
After all, Yuanyang Sect is a neutral sect, but it still has to keep its face. It can have brothels or furnaces within its sphere of influence, but it will never allow its disciples to become furnaces or technicians. They can only be buyers, bosses, and customers.
.
Otherwise, for the sake of the sect's face, monks will definitely be sent to "clean up" and eliminate such disciples who "corrupt the sect's tradition" and have "low morals".
"Uncle Liu, what do you think of these...?"
“If you feel that the drawings don’t look realistic, you can call someone over to take a good look and then slowly make your selection.”
A strange smile appeared on Wu Chang's dark face, and he asked cautiously.
In the past, for cultivation, flowers had to be counted for each spiritual stone. He had only been here once or twice, and it was only to treat guests from the same family.
However, through mutual bragging among fellow disciples and hearsay, Wu Chang's theory is still very rich, and he has a general understanding of the entire process, so he is not afraid of making any mistakes.
Hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. It's completely conceivable that such a scene would be similar to "choosing a concubine" in the mortal world.
"We cultivators should not be too greedy for physical pleasure. We can treat it as a pastime occasionally, but we must not indulge in it, or even affect our practice."
"Do you understand?"
"Just order these spiritual foods."
Liu Yu, who was smiling and laughing, suddenly turned serious and began to teach him a "serious" lesson.
"Yes, yes, uncle is right, I have learned the lesson."
Wu Chang nodded repeatedly, as if listening, then took the menu, marked the spiritual dishes that Liu Yu had just ordered, and handed the menu to the waiter.
Seeing this, Liu Yu's expression softened, and after the waiter left the room and closed the door, he began to ask for news about Du Jingshan.
"Uncle Liu, my disciple has found out everything."
"Then Du Jingshan..."
Since he wanted to work under Liu Yu, Wu Chang would certainly not hold anything back. He told all the information he found in order to show his ability.
After Wu Chang's narration, Liu Yu also understood the details of Du Jingshan.
First of all, Du Jingshan is a family monk. The Du family is about the same size as the Huang family in Tianyong Mountain. There are six foundation-building monks in the family. The one with the highest level of cultivation is his clan leader, who is in the late-stage foundation building stage.
Jubao Tower was opened by the Du family and earned a lot of spiritual stones for the family every year. However, he was not a disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, but he was able to open a shop in the sect. Obviously, the Du family also had backers in the Yuanyang Sect.
However, Wu Chang found out that the Treasure Building would be closed every five years and would not open until about seven days later. Du Jingshan had to return to his family to report information and hand over the proceeds. This situation had been going on for decades.
There is a road that must be passed between the Du family and Yuanyang Sect. If you want to take a detour, it will take a lot of time.
The last time Du Jingshan returned to his family was more than four years ago, and there are still about two months until the next return.
Wu Chang collected a lot of information about Du Jingshan and the Du family. Since he explained it in detail, it took him a quarter of an hour to finish it all.
"The only way to go."
Liu Yu nodded slowly after hearing this, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind.
But at this time, the waiter happened to bring the spiritual food that he had just ordered, so he put it aside first and asked Wu Chang to eat the spiritual food first.
Time gradually passed between drinking glasses and changing cups.
Under Wu Chang's deliberate compliments, the atmosphere was naturally pleasant.
It was already two quarters of an hour after the meal was full, and Liu Yu called the waiter to settle the payment.
A few courses of spiritual food and spiritual wine add up to more than a hundred spiritual stones, which is definitely not a small amount for a monk in the Qi refining stage.
"Uncle Liu, how can this be done? We have agreed that we should help the uncle to take care of the wind and wash away the dust, or let the disciple settle the bill!"
Although Wu Chang felt extremely heartbroken, he still said it bravely in order to please his uncle.
"Okay, don't pretend to be fat."
"Just use the few spiritual stones you have to prepare for foundation building."
