Chapter 10 The difference between immortals and mortals
The medicine garden is the foundation for the development and growth of every immortal cultivating sect.
Money is always the biggest problem facing any cultivator of immortality. Without enough elixirs and elixirs, no matter how talented and powerful you are, you can only spend your life with hatred and not make any progress for several years or decades.
Just like the three elders of the sect, all of them are considered to be extremely talented people. At least in terms of spiritual roots, they are not weaker than those monks from large and medium-sized sects. However, there are too few elixirs and poor magic weapons. Everything has to be done slowly.
Slowly raising money and searching for it consumes a lot of practice time, causing the speed of practice to be infinitely stretched, and then constantly missing the best breakthrough opportunities, and eventually being surpassed by those wealthy sect colleagues.
The Great Elder Dan Chenzi entered the Alchemy Realm fifty years ago. Even if he lacks elixirs, he is still making continuous progress. Now he is almost at the level of Alchemy Realm, but two of his contemporaries in Yuqing Palace have already
There are several people who have stepped into the Spiritual Transformation Realm and reached the Alchemy Realm.
This is not only due to the powerful skills of Yuqing Palace, but also because Yuqing Palace has abundant reserves of spiritual materials and elixirs, allowing those with superior qualifications under the sect to obtain sufficient breakthroughs in elixirs.
If Dan Chenzi were in Yuqing Hall, he would definitely be a great spiritual monk by now, and even the one with the fastest growth in cultivation.
But unfortunately, since he is in Taiyuan Sect, he may not be able to break through to the spirit transformation realm in this life.
Because the longer you stay in the Alchemy Realm, the more your life span is consumed, and the more difficult it becomes to break through. In the end, even if you have the treasures of heaven, earth, materials and panacea, there will be no possibility of breakthrough because of the missed opportunity.
This incident in the medicine garden is definitely the biggest blow to the Taiyuan Sect in hundreds of years, and it can be called unprecedented.
"Junior brother, do you really not know why the medicine garden became like this?" Ninth Brother asked in a low voice.
Xu Chen shook his head: "I really don't know."
Zhao Xuan said softly: "There is no need to discuss this matter. The third elder went to the medicine garden to see it in person and found no problems. Junior brother has a low cultivation level, how could he know about it."
The Ninth Senior Brother suddenly let out a long sigh and said with dismay: "It is said that our Taiyuan Sect used to be a great sect of Huanghuang, and there was also a real immortal who could refine the gods and return them to the void. We are well-known in Jiuzhou, but we don't want to be like this now. No
Pill, how can we practice it in the future?"
Zhao Xuan also looked very lonely. She was silent for a long time and said: "I think the three elders will come up with a solution. Let's do our best to support it. As long as a new medicine garden is opened, it will slowly recover after more than ten years."
Senior Brother Ninth leaned back slumped in his chair and said, "For more than ten years, I'm afraid I've missed everything."
Xu Chen was filled with guilt. If he hadn't acted recklessly, all the medicinal materials in the medicine garden would not have been poisoned to death. However, he could never talk about this matter, so he could only comfort him with kind words: "Brother and sister, don't worry too much. As the saying goes,
It's a blessing in disguise, but the Taiyuan Sect's medicinal fields have always been struggling, and the yield is also very low. This time, maybe the three elders will be aggressive and reopen a good spiritual field, and the medicinal materials will grow even better!
"
At this moment, the city lord came in from outside, and the three of them stopped talking.
The city lord saluted with a flattering and excited face and said: "Three immortal masters, the caravan to the capital has been arranged. It will set off tomorrow morning. The three immortal masters can rest at the house tonight, and I will make arrangements for the trip tomorrow morning."
Brother Ninth stood up and waved his hand and said, "No need. Just help prepare a better carriage and two good horses. Also prepare some common gold and silver for travel expenses. We will go to an inn to stay overnight."
"Honor the Immortal Master's decree!" The city lord quickly bowed and agreed.
At this time, Xu Chen and Zhao Xuan also stood up. Several maids and wet nurses in the side hall quickly brought the little fox over and carefully handed it to Xu Chen's hands. Xu Chen didn't even look at it and stuffed it into his arms.
"Ugh...ah..." The little fox let out a soft cry in pain.
The wet nurse and the maid's eyes were filled with distress, and they wished they could snatch the little fox back from Xu Chen's arms.
Xu Chen glanced at the big-breasted nanny with bulging breasts, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you very much. I may bother you again next time I come back."
When the nanny heard this, she was so excited that she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said: "I don't dare to be a commoner's wife. As long as the immortal master can use it to serve as a slave, I can do anything!"
Xu Chen's face turned dark and he strode away with the two senior brothers and sisters.
At the same time, I felt in my heart that there is really a difference between immortals and mortals. Although I am just a dung collector in the immortal family, in such a powerful family, I have to be servile and flattering to me.
He could even go to the capital to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
Talking about birthday wishes is actually just to give the emperor face. In fact, the real elders of the Immortal Sect will not go. At most, they are allowed to be disciples of the Kaiyuan Realm to support the emperor's appearance, let the emperor show off, and let the people of Song Dynasty and Manchu
Chao Wenwu saw the superior Xianmen's support for the emperor.
Of course, this is something that both parties have a tacit understanding of, and they just get what they need.
Thinking back to five years ago, he was still helping the wealthy family to herd cows and collect dung. He ate one meal without finishing another, slept in the cowshed all year round, and his clothes could not cover his buttocks.
Therefore, there was nothing in the Taiyuan Sect that made him feel lonely and cold. There were thousands of complaints and complaints. How the unreliable master accepted him into the mountain but then abandoned him. How his brothers and sisters tried their best to get him away.
His elixir magic weapon, but in fact, he should be grateful to everyone in the Taiyuan Sect. If he did not have this opportunity to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, his life would always be fixed in a shabby small town, mediocre.
He lived his whole life by herding cows and collecting dung.
Perhaps, I should have reported it to the Third Elder before applying fertilizer, and maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.
Xu Chen's mood was mixed and complicated all the way.
…
In the west of the city, Xu Chen and others, accompanied by the city lord, arrived at a luxurious inn.
Well, it is really luxurious. Xu Chen has never seen such a luxurious sleeping place except the City Lord's Mansion.
In comparison, the house owned by the wealthy householder was almost like a rag, and his small wooden house on the mountain was like a chicken coop.
The inn has a towering gatehouse, a three-story brick and wood structure, carved beams and painted roofs, and a cornice attic. The maids and servants are all neatly dressed. When they heard that they were the distinguished guests of the city lord, the innkeeper did not dare to neglect them. He lined up with a group of maids to welcome them.
After entering the spacious and luxurious room, he bowed respectfully and left. After a while, various melons, fruits, pastries, tea, and tea were continuously brought in.
After everyone was sent away, the three of them sat down. Xu Chen looked at the table full of delicious food, and couldn't help but eat a few more items with difficulty, until he couldn't eat any more, and then he stopped burping.
Get down and massage your belly.
Brother Ninth laughed and said: "Junior brother, you are an immortal after all, but this eating appearance is too ugly."
Xu Chen curled his lips lazily and said, "Senior brother, you are a well-fed man but don't know a hungry man is hungry. I have been on the mountain for five years and I have never had a full meal."
Zhao Xuan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "That's right. We can still go down the mountain every once in a while. Junior Brother has indeed suffered a lot, but no matter how good the food in the world is, you will get tired of it after eating it a few times.
I feel like it’s not as tasty as the dry biscuits and wild fruits from the mountains.”
Xu Chen originally thought that the Ninth Senior Brother would retort, but unexpectedly he also nodded and said: "Junior Sister, you are right. When I first went down the mountain to practice, I was just like the younger Junior Brother, but I gradually lost much interest and got used to it.
The tranquility and loneliness on the mountain are really unaccustomed to the hustle and bustle down here."
Xu Chen was a little surprised. Although he didn't agree with this statement in his heart, he thought about it. After five years of self-cultivation in the mountains, although he was lonely and lonely, he was indeed used to the unrestrained and free life outside the world. Suddenly he came to this prosperous city on earth.
Although everything feels new and everyone respects him, there is really no passion. He might as well be surprised and excited by discovering a piece of spirit animal excrement or an ordinary herb in the wild.
Maybe...this is meanness.
I remember when I was working for the rich to herd cows and collect dung, I thought that one day I would get rich, eat and throw away steamed buns, and marry a big-assed woman.
"Okay, since it's rare for my junior brother to go down the mountain, eating, drinking, and eating can actually be considered as an experience. It's still early, so I'll take my junior brother to some good places in the city!" The ninth senior brother stood up.
Zhao Xuan said angrily: "What is there to see in Nanyang City? The place you want to go to is the land of fireworks and willow alleys. My junior brother is still young, so don't lead him astray."
Senior Brother Ninth rubbed his hands and laughed dryly: "Hey, Junior Brother is fifteen years old, so he is not too young!"
"You are not allowed to go then, or I will tell the third elder when you return to the mountain!" Zhao Xuan refused to give in at all.
Senior Brother Ninth could only sit down again and said: "There is still a long time before dark, so we can't just sit in the inn, otherwise what will Junior Brother do when he goes down the mountain to practice?"
Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "How about we take our junior brother to the Wild Wolf Valley!"
Brother Ninth nodded helplessly and said: "That's okay, it's better than staying here and sitting around!"
So Xu Chen put the little fox under the quilt, and the three of them simply packed up and quickly left the inn towards the east of the city.
