At the core of the Ding family, deep in the bamboo forest, there is a large courtyard made of Qingling bamboo.
Two people were received by messengers from two sides and walked into the courtyard.
Among them, the middle-aged man in gray clothes was originally frightened. When he saw the young man with triangular eyes across from him, his eyes lit up. He trotted over and shouted excitedly:
"Brother-in-law, why did the Great Elder come to me?"
He is just a mortal who raises pigs. Naturally, he was extremely nervous when a godlike figure like the Great Elder summoned him.
On the opposite side, Triangle Eyes is Yu Xing, the deacon named Yu Xing who is responsible for the mundane affairs of the Ding family. He looks younger than him, but in fact he is about fifty years older than him. He has just entered spiritual practice, so he looks younger than him.
Yu Xing was quite surprised when he saw the middle-aged man. Seeing his panic, he frowned and thought, will this affect the First Elder's opinion of me?
After thinking for a while, he said: "You are just a pig herder. Apart from the pig farm, what else can you do to clear up the matter? You have already taken over the hundred white pigs, right? How about it?"
As Ding Yu expected, the law enforcement team was brought by the great elder. The great elder found someone to take the white pig as soon as it was taken away.
"That pig is indeed very good. It is full of spiritual energy! It's a pity that it has not yet formed a spiritual elixir and has not become a spiritual beast."
When asked about his job, the middle-aged man's thoughts became normal. Thinking of the white and tender white pig, he felt happy. He was happier than having a hundred beauties at home.
"Brother-in-law, please help me snatch that pig farm!"
Whenever he thinks about the tens of millions of beauties still living in other people's homes, he feels uneasy and needs to hold all the beauties in his arms.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. What I'm asking is, is there any way you can raise a real spiritual pig?"
Being able to climb to the current position, Yu Xing can naturally see what the elder or the family wants. As long as he masters the spirit beast breeding technology, the Ding family may have the opportunity to be promoted to a fourth-level family.
"this……"
When it comes to spiritual pigs, middle-aged people are dumbfounded.
It is easy to cultivate spiritual plants, and the ability to breed spiritual animals is only available to large families and large sects of the fourth grade or above. How could he, a mere mortal, be able to raise spiritual pigs? He never thought that he would have to bear such a responsibility when receiving a white pig.
"What about this, this, and that? I just asked you if you can do it?"
Yu Xing was angry when he heard this. Normally he would have kicked him to death, but he was getting closer and closer to the great elder's place of cultivation, so he had to endure it and continue talking.
"This is simply impossible. The aura of the white pig dissipated a bit when it came to our place. We don't know how the boy was raised."
The middle-aged man saw the fierce look in Yu Xing's eyes and hurriedly explained.
His cousin is just one of Yu Xing's many concubines. At the same time, he is not the most capable person among his cousin's many relatives. She is not irreplaceable, but he cannot make Yu Xing angry.
"It's the same as ordinary pigs? Is it a problem with the feed?"
Yu Xing frowned when he heard this. He originally thought that it was just Ding Chongguang's good luck in breeding a mutated white pig.
They only need to get the white pig to get the credit, but now it seems that things are still going to be tough.
In this world, the mortal body cannot retain spiritual energy.
If you don't take the initiative to practice and use your mental power to sense and retain it, even if ordinary mortals or beasts eat something rich in spiritual energy, the spiritual energy will soon be lost, and it will not be preserved for long, and there will be little improvement in physical fitness, and there is even a chance of it.
Exploded to death.
For example, the black stone pigs from Ding Chongguang Pig Farm are not only rich in spiritual energy that is gentle and easy to absorb and digest, but the meat quality is also quite good, which is even more incredible.
Yu Xing thought for a while and then said: "If I rob the pig farm, can you find the key?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes flickered and he did not dare to speak. It was not until he saw the wind blade in Yu Xing's hand that he swallowed his saliva and said: "It probably won't work. I went to see it when I was catching pigs before. The situation there is similar to other pig farms.
It’s nothing more than having more manpower and raising the pigs separately, making it cleaner and tidier.”
Yu Xing's frown deepened: "That country boy has never been exposed to pig raising before, and he made a lot of jokes at the beginning. The pigherders he found were very young, in their thirties at most. If there are no experts, he can do it, but you can't.
Is it done?”
Somehow, thinking of that country boy, he felt very irritable and unwilling.
He didn't know Ding Chongguang's plans, but after working in the Ding family for many years, he was still sensitive to interests.
There are many families in Qinghe City, but the Ding family's plate is only so big. If someone from the side branch climbs up a step, others must make way.
Judging from the pig farm, the person who made way was probably Yu Xing, a deacon with a foreign surname who has been contributing to the Ding family for generations!
Why? Moreover, if I let that kid come up with the spirit pig, my plan in the junk hall will probably be in vain.
Thinking, thinking, a terrible idea suddenly came into his mind, and this idea quickly took shape at an incredible speed.
He said to the middle-aged man slightly dryly: "You just repeat what you just said to the elder, but you must ensure that as long as the pig farm has a gun, you can develop a method of raising spiritual pigs!"
"How is that possible? I'm not sure at all!"
The middle-aged man was shocked by his brother-in-law's words and didn't notice Yu Xing's expression.
"Just say it! Don't we think we have done enough of this kind of thing?"
"As long as the country boy succeeds, the Ding family will definitely not buy our pigs again. Who else can we sell our pigs to? You will not starve to death by then?"
As long as you get the pig farm and kill the little bastard, no one will know how to raise spiritual pigs. Who else in the Ding family will blame you?
At worst, I’ll fill it with my own spiritual materials, pretend to bring out a spiritual pig, and then kill it, so no one will find out!"
The more he talked, the smoother Yu Xing's thoughts became, his whole body relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It is definitely not possible to raise real spiritual pigs, but it is possible to disguise pigs with spiritual pig qualifications as spiritual pigs!
This secret method is rare, but not difficult. Some secular dynasties often use this method to forge auspiciousness, and the Yu family happens to have this secret method.
"Oh, how are you going to kill that kid?"
At this moment, a majestic and old voice suddenly came from the side.
But there was a young man in black and an old man with white beard and white hair walking slowly.
It was the old man who spoke, Ding Shigang, the eldest elder of the Ding family!
He was about to summon the two of them in the inner room, but suddenly he had a sudden inspiration and had some insights into the way of bamboo, so he went out for a walk, but he didn't expect to hear such remarks.
"Great Elder!"
When Yu Xing saw Ding Shigang, his face turned pale. What did he just say? Why did he suddenly say this?
There are some things that you shouldn’t say even if you think about them?
He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
He knocked so hard that his face was covered with blood and his bones were visible.
"Among the deacons with a foreign surname, you are the smartest. You know what should be touched and what should not be touched. I had high hopes for you, but today you have disappointed me. You are actually stupid enough to say bad things about the Ding family!
"
The great elder's eyes were dark.
The surrounding green bamboo forest suddenly turned red, falling one after another, sweeping towards Yu Xing.
As an elder in the family, Yu Xing naturally understood the situation when he saw this scene. His expression was dazed, and when he saw the people around the elder, he seemed to have understood something.
There was a bit of sadness on his face, and a bit of relief at the same time. He did not cry out for injustice, nor did he make any struggle. With a smile, he was rolled up by the red leaves and submerged into the loess, leaving no trace.
Soon new leaves grew on the bamboo forest, as if nothing had happened.
After the great elder finished all this, he said to the middle-aged man, "That pig, just do your research, stop using your brain, and step back."
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he was about to excrement and urine. Hearing this, he immediately panicked and seemed to run away.
"You really have a good family tradition and great magical powers. It seems that you attach great importance to the people from the side branch."
After the middle-aged man left, the young man in black spoke rather playfully.
He naturally knew that if he had not been here, the great elder would not have killed his subordinates.
However, he didn't feel much about the murder that happened in front of him. Instead, he was more interested in the formation-like and magical spell that the elder had just cast, and the Ding family members who were raising pigs.
"It makes the guard laugh, it's all something that can't be brought to the table."
The great elder looked a little embarrassed, and at the same time he made a double entendre, expressing his unwillingness to talk about the magical power and Ding Chongguang again.
"Hey, should good things be shared? Isn't the prosperity of today's spiritual practice world the result of our mutual exchanges? You old man is just boring."
The young man in black curled his lips, stopped staying, and turned into the wind and left.
Only the great elder stayed where he was, quietly looking at the bluestone without any trace on the ground.
The young man who had poor qualifications but swore to be loyal to him was killed by him himself.
Then the picture flashed in his mind, and he returned to the school four years ago. At that time, he was just passing by accidentally.
That country boy who has no cowardice and can perfectly grasp the balance between clumsiness and excellence.
He determined that the child was not a creature in the pool, and he had always performed well in school. He did not expect such a talented young man to have very low qualifications.
Just when he thought that the kid would stand out from the crowd because of his qualifications, this kid left school and chose to go out to run a pig farm and became a blockbuster!
"It's time to use another sword to sharpen him. This guy is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. If you want to polish the sword into a main vein, you have to work hard."
After Yu Xing died, the great elder valued Ding Chongguang, who had equally inferior qualifications but was more outstanding, a little more.
…
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of miles away, on Ziyun Peak of Tianquanmen, a red candle was about to burn out.
There are dozens of standard alchemy furnaces in the field, and there is a boy or girl in front of each alchemy furnace.
They were either standing with their arms folded, waiting leisurely, or they were looking anxious, constantly pinching the magic formula in their hands to control the heat.
Yunzhi is one of them. Unlike other disciples who wear special Ziyunfeng style treasure clothes, Taoist clothes and gorgeous accessories, this woman only wears the standard light purple Taoist clothes issued by the inner sect.
Times have changed. In the novel, the person who detects the Heavenly Spiritual Root becomes a sect’s holy son and saint, and then the task of saving the common people is no longer possible.
With the changes from generation to generation, the population has increased, and it is not difficult to find disciples with good qualifications. Among the disciples of the outer sect of Tianquan Sect, there are several who are placed in the fourth and fifth grades of sects and can be regarded as the top-grade single spiritual roots of the saints and saints.
The top management has gradually increased the basic quality requirements of its disciples, and the assessment of relevant knowledge is also quite stringent. Compared with the gang-like organizations of the past, it is more like the universities and research institutes of later generations.
First-grade sects only recruit disciples from the descendants of their own disciples, second-grade sects, and high-ranking family descendants with extremely high basic qualities. Exceptions are possible unless they encounter the highest-quality heavenly spiritual roots or the top eight holy bodies in the world.
She, Yunzhi, had mastered a lot of spiritual knowledge under Ding Chongguang's intentional training three years in advance. She was lucky enough to stand out among tens of thousands of highly qualified people. She passed the test and entered the Tianquan Sect, and was directly promoted to the Tianquan Sect.
Inner door.
However, she does not sit back and relax after entering the inner door. She still has various tests, otherwise she will be kicked out of the inner door.
This time is not a normal test, but a special competition with more stringent requirements. Even the elixir refining time is shorter than usual, testing the proficiency of the disciple's alchemy or secret skills.
This is not a level that a woman from a small city can achieve.
"Who is this? Will it last until the end?"
Off the field, those who either failed or did not dare to participate in this assessment could not help but be curious when they saw Dao Yunzhi's simple clothes.
"That's the one who learns alchemy very slowly, and has a very poor foundation. After three years, everyone has become a third-level alchemist, and she has only become a second-level alchemist not long ago.
If he hadn't had a high elixir-forming rate, a good skin that made people pity him, and would have pleased Senior Sister Ginkgo, he would have been kicked out of the inner circle long ago, so he still had the nerve to take part in the assessment."
Someone who knows Yunzhi said sarcastically.
"It turned out to be her, so I asked who was so shameless!"
"The assessment is limited to refining the third-level Yuanhui Dan. She is only at the second level. Maybe she is just going through the motions and trying her best to show it to a few senior sisters!"
"No, maybe they are interested in the small good fortune pill that is only effective against miscellaneous spiritual roots? After all, people with humble backgrounds like them, who climb out of the mud pit, are always covered in mud, so maybe they want to take all the mud with them.
Coming out?"
"Hahaha, how is it possible? That's the reward for the top three, just her?"
All of a sudden, all kinds of joking remarks came out. They thought they were superior to others, and they were extremely disdainful of this kind of overestimation of their abilities.
Although Tianquan Sect Ziyunfeng is famous for its alchemy skills, after several generations of analysis, it has already figured out a method of alchemy that allows disciples to get started quickly and have a solid foundation. Disciples who have passed the selection process can become third-level alchemists in three years.
It allows people to transcend levels and refine elixirs.
This is also the reason why second-level alchemists are allowed to participate in this test.
However, for someone who has just barely entered the realm of a second-level alchemist, it is impossible for anyone to refine a third-level elixir. No matter how much they think about it, everyone feels that it is impossible, and they are extremely mocking for such an overestimating behavior.
Even Yunzhi herself was a little shaken. She had built her foundation with second-level skills. It was already very difficult for her to persist in leapfrogging and completing the previous steps of alchemy. She was on the verge of exhaustion of mana, spirit, and body.
At this level, not to mention making a good elixir on time, it was even difficult to complete the refining. The difficulty of refining the elixir this time was far beyond his expectation.
"Is it really going to fail?"
She was also in a daze, but thinking of the Little Creation Pill and that person, she refused to give up.
Consciousness gradually blurs, and past memories appear in my mind like a revolving lantern.
There are misfortunes in childhood, hardships in life, and there is also that figure as warm as the sun.
Suddenly, the man's voice sounded in his ears: "Yunzhi, you have to believe in yourself. As long as you believe in yourself and think about the goal you want to achieve, all miracles can be accomplished."
"Miracle...believe in yourself?"
"Chongguang!"
She regained her strength and concentrated as never before, reciting that person's name.
The world became quiet at this moment, and she looked around in a daze at the world in front of her that she could no longer see clearly and had overlapping shadows.
The standard alchemy furnace that is about to stagnate due to lack of stamina, the examiner not far away with pity, fellow disciples in the audience with ridicule, contempt, and encouragement, and the red candle that is about to burn out, with a special fragrance!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, and a trace of strength miraculously squeezed out of the body and soul again.
The alchemy technique was pinched faster than before, and streams of light were thrown into the alchemy furnace and red candles.
"What is she doing? How dare she cast a spell on the red candle?"
"Could it be that you want to stop the red candle from burning? Are you giving up on yourself?"
Some were surprised, some were mocking.
Then, in the eyes of everyone who was either joking or puzzled, the stream of light rolled up the special red mist emitted by the red candle and threw it into the incense burner.
The next second, just before the red candle was about to burn out, the elixir furnace began to be filled with the fragrance of elixir.
The third-level high-quality Huiyuan Pill is ready!
