Chapter 126 The wind blows and the end of Qingping(1/3)
Because Meng Zhou opened the formation in advance, Zhu Qian led the two monks straight into the courtyard.
Meng Zhou extended his hand and invited the three of them to sit wherever they pleased. He looked at Zhu Qian and asked curiously, "I wonder if Daoyou Zhu is here this time?"
Zhu Qian smiled and said, "I happened to pass by fellow Taoist Zhuang, so I wanted to bring two fellow Taoists to sit with you."
Meng Zhou handed two cups of fragrant tea to the two monks and said, "You should at least inform me in advance. If I happen to be in retreat, wouldn't it be a waste of trouble for you to go all the way?"
Zhu Qian picked up a cup of spiritual tea in front of her and said: "It's a waste of time to run, it's just a matter of convenience anyway... Hmm~~"
Zhu Qian suddenly widened her eyes, looked at the teacup in her hand, and then at "Fellow Taoist Zhuang" who was completely unaware. She quickly swallowed the tea soup in her mouth, and then said in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, is this the same spiritual tea you drank last time?"
Meng Zhou said: "Of course."
"Why is there such a big difference?" Zhu Qian continued to wonder.
Meng Zhou said: "Of course it's because my tea-making level is improving!"
He replied casually, then looked at the other two monks who were bowing their heads and sipping tea seriously, and said, "Why don't you introduce me to me?"
Zhu Qian said "Yeah", drank the tea soup in one gulp, put down the tea cup, stretched out her hand and said:
"This is fellow Taoist Luo Dailuo, a second-level mid-level spiritual planter."
She first introduced a middle-aged man next to her, and then introduced another young man who looked younger and had many similarities with Luo Dai:
"This is fellow Taoist Luo Xingluo, um... he is also a very talented spiritual planter."
After the introduction, Zhu Qian said with a smile: "They are all reinforcements arranged by the association for me. With them, I don't have to be called upon by the Sanchuan Association every now and then."
At this moment, the young man named Luo Xing suddenly looked at Meng Zhou and asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, I heard from Daoist Zhu that you just started to contact Lingzhi Dao?"
Meng Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, as a junior learner, I will inevitably ask for more advice in the future."
His words were obviously casual and perfunctory, but Luo Xing seemed to take them seriously. He nodded seriously and said: "I don't take it as advice, but I think it can help fellow Taoists avoid some detours."
Meng Zhou was stunned by his sudden reply and felt a little baffled.
Luo Dai frowned and said displeasedly: "Luo Xing!"
Looking at Meng Zhou who looked confused, he quickly handed over his hands and said apologetically: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, Luo Xing made a mistake, I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Meng Zhou became even more confused. He looked at Luo Xing, who was silent next to him, and then at Luo Dai, and said, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Luo, what is your relationship?"
Luo Dai said: "This is Quanzi. He just broke through the foundation building recently."
Meng Zhou said in surprise: "I thought he was your brother... But Fellow Daoist Luo, your words are a little too self-effacing.
If Brother Luo has achieved so much and is still a 'dog son', what will a tiger son look like?"
Luo Dai suddenly shook his head and sighed, looking like he was speechless.
Next to him, Luo Xing, who had long since turned his face into a donkey's face, finally couldn't stand it any longer, got up angrily, and flew away without even saying hello.
Luo Dai had no choice but to say to Meng Zhou and Zhu Qian: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, fellow Daoist Zhu, please take your time and chat while I go first."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and flew away.
Meng Zhou then looked at Zhu Qian, who was enjoying tea leisurely next to him, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, which song is this?"
Zhu Qian shook her head and said: "The current foundation building..."
At this point, she shook her head again.
"What's wrong with the foundation building now? Is it bothering you?"
Zhu Qian looked up at Meng Zhou and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, do you know what Daoist Luo has done to make his son's foundation building successful?"
"What?"
Zhu Qian said:
"Two foundation-building pills, one of which is excellent.
You said, with such a support, isn't it natural that he succeeds in building the foundation of Luo Xing?
If this can still fail, how crippled will he have to be?
But Luo Xing himself didn't think so. He believed that at least ninety percent of the success should be attributed to himself, and that the success of the foundation was due to his own efforts and talents.
As for the two foundation-building pills provided by his father, they are the icing on the cake at most!"
"..." Meng Zhou.
He probably understood a little bit what Zhu Qi's unspoken words just now were.
Probably, it should be something like "the current foundation building is too weak".
It seems that with Qingxuanzong taking the initiative to make Foundation Establishment Pills available, as long as you have spiritual stones, you can buy Foundation Establishment Pills. This has become inevitable.
As Zhu Qian told it, Meng Zhou also learned more inside stories about the father and son.
Not long after the foundation was established, and not even a few days happy, Luo Xing got into great trouble.
"The current Cuiyu Lake Fairy City, I dare not say anything else, but the background behind it is mysterious, and the background is not too big to be scary.
Behind any little qi-training monk, there might be someone behind him that ordinary foundation builders cannot afford to offend.
Because of his lack of foresight, Luo Xing is definitely not the only one who suffers a big loss in this regard."
Zhu Qian did not say what trouble Luo Xing got into, but she expressed such emotion.
In order to save Luo Xing, Luo Dai had lost all his savings over the years, so he still invited Zhu Qian's teacher and the president of the spiritual planter branch to come forward to make peace, and then he reluctantly settled the matter.
At this time, Zhu Qian's letter for help also happened to reach her teacher.
Because the number of outsiders who come to Sanchuan Plain to farm is increasing, even though Zhu Qian has broken down the most arduous tasks, there are still more and more matters that cannot be shied away and must be handled by her personally.
If one person cannot solve the problem, it is natural to ask the parents for help.
Her teacher took the opportunity to arrange for the father and son to come over.
Firstly, these two men just owed a big favor, so it was best to send them out; secondly, these two men had spent all their savings for peace, and they just needed this opportunity to recuperate their health.
The two of them had just suffered a big loss in Cuiyu Lake, so they would not feel aggrieved to be sent to a "backwater" like Sanchuanyuan.
Meng Zhou was stunned, but he said doubtfully: "Then Luo Xing seems to have some objections to me? This is the first time we have met, so why is he doing this?"
Zhu Qian coughed lightly, and suddenly a strange-shaped object appeared in her hand, with "0" on the top and "ten" on the bottom. It exuded the unique spiritual fluctuations of second-level magic weapons.
"I guess it has something to do with this thing."
"This is?"
Meng Zhou was confused. Of course he knew that this was the status token of the Professionals Association, but what did this have to do with the question he asked?
Zhu Qian handed this thing to Meng Zhou and said:
"This is what my teacher Torodai sent here to prepare for you."
She also specifically explained: "This kind of token and magic weapon is the exclusive property of a special person. Last time I asked the teacher for the jade slip of the soul refining method inheritance for you, but this thing is not ready yet."
As she spoke, she faced the inner side of the ring of this magic weapon towards Meng Zhou and said, "Look, there is a special mark here. From now on, this thing will only be recognized if it is in your hands."
Speaking of which, she also explained the origin of Luo Xing's attitude.
"Although he has successfully established a foundation, the association's assessment of membership levels is based on professional standards, not cultivation level.
Although he has studied spiritual cultivation with his father since he was a child, he is still at the level of a first-class spiritual cultivation master and can only be regarded as a first-class member in the association.
The tokens they hold are far less particular than those of second-level members."
Meng Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
According to the information he revealed to Zhu Qian, he had just come into contact with spiritual cultivation, and he was still in doubt about whether he would become an official spiritual cultivation master. In just a few months, it was even more unbelievable that he had stepped from the first level to the second level.
Too likely.
Therefore, according to the regulations of the association, I should not have such a second-level token.
The reason why she enjoyed such privileges without knowing it was of course because of the special relationship between Zhu Qian and the spiritual planter president.
Probably, maybe, this is the reason why Luo Xing is unhappy.
After thinking about this, Meng Zhou suddenly felt dumbfounded.
He stared at it for a while and asked doubtfully: "Does this thing have any special function?"
Zhu Qian said: "It is not very useful in itself. The biggest function is to prove that you are a second-level member recognized by the association. If necessary, you can enjoy all the benefits that a second-level member should have.
For example, the fact that Luo Dai and his son were able to walk out of the Jade Lake Fairy City intact is mostly due to this status."
Having said this, Zhu Qian paused and emphasized:
“However, the association will not cover all behaviors of its members without a bottom line.
Don’t even think about doing whatever you want with this, it’s impossible.”
Meng Zhou nodded, somewhat understanding why Naluo Xingxing cared so much about such a trivial matter.
"Second-level member? But I'm not a second-level spiritual planter yet.
Should you wait until I officially become a second-level spiritual planter before giving it to me?"
