Halfway up the mountainside of Taixuan Peak, in front of Jiang Qian's cave, a stream of light fell and a figure appeared.
The man was short and fat, with a face like Maitreya, a proud expression on his brows, and a majestic look as he looked around.
If he hadn't been wearing Taoist robes, at first glance, he would have thought he was a great hero.
Looking at the closed cave, the fat Taoist took out a magic talisman from his storage bag and threw it away.
The talisman spontaneously ignited in the air without fire, turning into a stream of light and sinking into Jiang Qian's cave.
Not long after, Jiang Qian walked out of the cave and was slightly startled when he saw the fat Taoist in front of him.
"Senior Brother Xuanyi, you won't ask me to borrow money again, will you?"
Jiang Qian was also speechless for this familiar senior brother Xuan Yi.
I still remember that more than two months ago, he was dining at Lingshan Hall and ate with gusto.
Thinking that in his two lives, he was from an ordinary family, how could he have ever eaten something as good as spiritual food?
It's delicious, has a long aftertaste, can slightly improve your cultivation, and the most important thing is that it doesn't cost any money!
Jiang Qian has always enjoyed this kind of good job of smoothing the wool of Daogong.
Every time it was time for dinner, he would show up at the Lingshan Hall on time and have a delicious meal.
That day, a fat Taoist suddenly sat opposite him. While eating, Zilaishu told him all kinds of gossip in the Taoist palace.
Jiang Qian's understanding of Taixuan Taoist Palace almost all came from Fat Taoist's narration.
After finishing the meal, the fat Taoist asked him to borrow money. The money he borrowed was gold and silver, which made Jiang Gan confused.
You must know that in Taixuan Dao Palace, gold and silver are of no use at all, and all cultivation resources must be exchanged for contribution points.
The sect's contribution points can also be exchanged for gold and silver. One point of contribution points can be exchanged for ten taels of gold or one hundred taels of silver.
But almost no one would do such a stupid thing as using precious contribution points to exchange for gold and silver?
Seemingly understanding Jiang Gan's thoughts, the fat Taoist explained: "Although gold and silver are useless in the Taoist Palace, they are hard currency in Bianliang City."
"Especially the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the girls there are all as beautiful as heavenly beings, no worse than the fairies from the Taoist Palace."
"The most important thing is to be well-spoken, versatile, considerate, light and gentle, and lovable!"
"Every time I finish my retreat, I go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to listen to a few songs, and then call a few girls to talk about my life ideals, and I feel that I am worthy of this life."
"But the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is too expensive. One visit costs one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, and the landlord's family doesn't have enough food left!"
When Jiang Qian heard this, he almost became jealous.
In front of him, a virgin of two lifetimes, talking about such wonderful things as listening to music is really too much. You deserve to be impoverished to death!
But despite being stalked by Fat Taoist, Jiang Gan still took out a thousand taels of silver from the storage bag left by Taoist Qingwei and lent it to him.
First of all, we are all brothers in the same discipline, so it is difficult to refuse because it will hurt the feelings of the fellow disciples.
Secondly, Jiang Gan intends to make some friends in Taixuan Taoist Palace, and a person with a good temperament like Fat Taoist is a good choice.
Thirdly, gold and silver are of no use to him, they are like dung and not worth mentioning.
The most important thing is the third point, give up some useless things in exchange for a friend worth making, and you will definitely make a profit!
However, this move was the beginning of Jiang Qian's nightmare.
Next, Fat Taoist borrowed money from Jiang Gan several times, and the total amount of money he borrowed exceeded thirty thousand taels.
If it was just like this, Jiang Qian would naturally not tolerate it and would have cut off his robes long ago, fearing that he would avoid the fat Taoist!
But the fat Taoist was so generous that he brought out spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, spiritual pills, etc. to share with him.
There was no way, the fat Taoist gave him too much, and Jiang Qian was happy to make friends with the rich.
But Jiang Qian's money was limited after all, and the fat Taoist quickly borrowed all the gold and silver in his storage bag.
Jiang Qian was too embarrassed to continue to take advantage and announced that he would go into seclusion to practice Taoism, thus escaping the entanglement of the fat Taoist.
At this time, he had just finished his retreat and was about to go to the Lingshan Hall to have a good meal to celebrate his great progress in practice.
But before he could leave the cave, he received a message from the Fat Taoist's spiritual talisman and had to go out to greet him.
"Why don't you invite senior brother in for a cup of tea?" the fat Taoist said teasingly.
"I was negligent. Senior Brother Xuanyi, please come inside!"
Jiang Gan smiled and led the fat Taoist into the cave.
There was a slight pause in his steps, but Jiang Qian suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no spiritual objects in his cave to entertain guests.
At this thought, Jiang Gan couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on his face.
"You are really..."
The fat Taoist sighed and instantly understood the reason for Jiang Gan's embarrassment.
The fat Taoist took out some spiritual tea and a set of tea sets from the storage bag, and placed them on the only desk in Jiang Qian's house.
Then, he made a secret with his right hand, condensing a stream of water out of thin air and falling into the tea set.
With another pinch, a firework appeared out of thin air. A moment later, the water in the teapot began to boil.
When Jiang Gan saw this, he was slightly surprised. He could do all this, but he couldn't do it as easily as the fat Taoist.
This requires the mastery of spiritual thoughts, magic power, and Taoism to reach a subtle state.
Only after thousands of trainings and seizing key opportunities can one advance to the micro realm and become enlightened.
"Don't look at me like this. I also learned this trick from my master Qingyu Zhenren. If you talk about it too much, it will make you cry!"
Jiang Gan looked a little embarrassed, so the fat Taoist quickly explained.
Jiang Gan just smiled, said nothing more, and sat across from the fat Taoist.
"You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
When the fat Taoist heard this, his face turned slightly red, but he quickly returned to normal and said:
"There is a trade fair for inner disciples tomorrow. I want to attend, but there are not enough Yuehua Pills or Pure Yang Pills."
"Yuehua Pill? Pure Yang Pill?"
Jiang Qian couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
These two kinds of elixirs are necessary for cultivation in the seventh-grade Yin Shen realm.
The annual share of ten coins in the Dao Palace, coupled with the exchange of merit points, cannot meet the needs of daily practice.
Immortal cultivation emphasizes bravery and diligence, competing with God to live as long as possible, and breaking through to a higher realm in the shortest possible time.
As the inner sect disciples basically belong to the seventh level of Immortal Dao, Yin Shen Realm, it is natural to choose these two elixirs as trading currency.
"Well, I do have some in my hand."
Jiang Qian said calmly that the Moonlight Pill and Pure Yang Pill refined every month by the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp were enough for him to practice, and there was still a lot left over.
Putting aside the ten Moonlight Pills distributed by the sect, Taoist Qingwei left him a lot of resources, including many Moonlight Pills and Pure Yang Pills.
Jiang Qian counted and found that he now had 2,810 Yuehua Pills, 840 Pure Yang Pills, 90 Lingji Pills, and some miscellaneous items.
Unknowingly, he had accumulated such a huge net worth, which was many times more than what his original family had accumulated over generations.
Jiang Gan habitually pulls out the original body to compare and whip the corpse!
"Do I need a hundred Yuehua Pills?"
The fat Taoist looked at Jiang Gan expectantly, fearing that Jiang Gan would refuse.
After all, one hundred Yuehua Pills are the inner disciple's share for ten years, so it is not a small sum.
If he hadn't known that Jiang Qian was a disciple of Taoist Qingwei, he would never have thought of borrowing the pill.
