The meal was pretty decent, with a few exquisite side dishes and rice.
It seems that these guys have nothing to do, but they are working hard in catering. All the side dishes are delicious, delicious and delicious. This workmanship and level are no less than those in five-star hotels.
The chef.
Xia Haoran is not a picky eater. He was very satisfied with the meal and praised it endlessly. However, it is okay if he eats this kind of vegetarian dish occasionally, but if he eats it every day for decades, it will
It's really hard.
Moreover, there is one most important point that Xia Haoran did not mention.
There is a saying in Taoism: The beginning of cultivation is the beginning of refining the essence and transforming it into Qi. Refining the tangible essence (tangible essence, that is, essence and blood), turns it into a faint Qi.
Therefore, cultivators are in the initial stage of "refining essence and transforming qi". If the body is not adequately nourished and replenished, it will lead to an early depletion of essence in the body. If they continue to be sluggish for a long time, let alone their cultivation level can be improved.
, even the body will be broken down sooner or later.
Xia Haoran couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, what kind of bullshit rule is this!
I wonder if the old Taoist took the wrong medicine? Or was his head caught in the door? He had to come up with a rule that his disciples could not eat meat or drink alcohol!
It's understandable that drinking can ruin things. But not eating meat seems a bit nonsensical. Is it possible to keep up with nutrition by being vegetarian all day long?
If nothing else, even the current deceitful 'masters' know that if you want to maintain good nutrition and maintain a reasonable diet, you must eat 'light'. Note: Here we only say eat light, but it is
It didn’t say that in the future, only vegetarian food is allowed and no meat is allowed!
Putting aside cultivators, even ordinary people on earth know that if a person does not eat a meal of meat for ten and a half days, they will be completely exhausted and will not have the slightest strength to work.
In this state, a discerning person will know that this is due to insufficient essence and blood in the human body. Because essence and blood are as important to the human body as oil is to machines, and are consumed every day. If they cannot get appropriate supplements from diet or the outside world,
Sooner or later, your life will come to a screeching halt!
Not to mention that cultivators pursue strong power and explore the secrets of longevity. If they do not pay attention to a reasonable diet, they will often play with their bodies at the beginning of cultivation. How can they talk about longevity in the future?
This is obviously a big joke.
Of course, Xia Haoran can only make fun of things like this in his heart. After all, this is a 'fine tradition' that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has been deeply ingrained into their minds. If Xia Haoran
To raise questions rashly at this time is undoubtedly disrespectful to their ancestors and slanderous to Taoism as a whole, which would cause serious problems.
Besides, this kind of idle and painful thing does not benefit him at all. So, why should he do such evil things that are thankless for his efforts and even get beaten and scorned by the group?
…
After the meal, Xia Haoran was taken alone to a chic and elegant small courtyard to rest.
An hour later, Xia Haoran heard a knock on the door outside, and with a glance of his consciousness, it turned out to be Qingmu and Qingyun coming together.
Xia Haoran waved his hand and the courtyard door opened. He smiled and said: "Two Taoist priests, please come in quickly!"
"Senior Xia!" The two of them saluted hurriedly.
At this time, Headmaster Qingyun walked up to Xia Haoran, raised his palms and saluted again: "Senior Xia, I don't know how you are resting. If it is convenient, I can take you to the Tibetan Palace of my Qingcheng Sect now.
It’s a treasure trove.”
"Okay, let's go then." Xia Haoran smiled slightly and nodded.
What was the purpose of his trip to Qingcheng?
It was not for the medicinal materials and ores in the other party's treasure house. So at this moment, he stopped being pretentious. What's more, the transaction between the two parties was agreed upon in advance, and it was also the reward he should receive.
Inside the Taoist temple.
The two of them took Xia Haoran and introduced to Xia Haoran the general distribution of the Qingcheng sect and some historical records while walking. Xia Haoran kept nodding, and occasionally interrupted to ask a few questions.
It is indeed a famous sect that has been passed down for thousands of years!
After seeing it, Xia Haoran also felt sad in his heart.
After the introduction of the two people, many buildings, ancient trees, etc. in the Taoist temple are at least hundreds of years old. This would be an extremely rare living fossil in the bustling metropolis outside.
The treasure house of the Qingcheng Sect is located in a high-walled courtyard in the northeast corner of the Taoist temple. This is where the Qingcheng Sect stores their treasures, and it is also a forbidden place in the eyes of most people in the sect. No matter what time, there are two things here
The disciples strictly guarded and guarded it. If anyone was found to be intruding illegally, they would be captured on the spot; if anyone resisted, they would be executed on the spot! After all, if the sect rules were violated, the consequences would be serious.
"Ancestor, Master Headmaster, this... this..."
The two people on duty at the door saw that their leader and ancestor came hand in hand today, not to mention that there was also a very young-looking young man accompanying them. The two of them were a little confused and confused for a moment.
.
It took less than three hours for Xia Haoran to come to Qingcheng Sect. It seems that these guys behind him don't know Xia Haoran's identity.
Moreover, these two people are still very confused at this moment. Didn't they say that their ancestors were in retreat to break through the legendary heaven-level realm? Why did they suddenly appear here today?
Could it be?
Their faces were suddenly filled with ecstasy!
Heaven level!
It seems that in the future, their Qingcheng Sect will finally have a legendary heaven-level monk taking charge, which makes me a little excited.
"What is this?" Taoist Master Qingmu raised his eyebrows, glared at the two of them fiercely and said, "This is Senior Xia, you should also call me Senior."
"Yes." The two of them responded in unison, then turned around and bowed respectfully to Xia Haoran, saying: "I've seen Senior Xia! Please forgive me for the disrespect I just caused!"
Xia Haoran waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "You're welcome. You two are very good. At less than thirty years old, you are already at the middle level of Xuan level. You must work hard."
"Follow the teachings of our seniors!"
It is said that after listening to Xia Haoran's words, the two parties involved felt suddenly in their hearts.
What the hell is this?
The other party can not only tell their actual age at a glance, but also their specific cultivation level. This thing is as weird as it needs to be!
At this time, the two Taoist priests Qingmu and Qingyun next to them seemed to have expected this. After all, Xia Haoran is so powerful, and it makes sense to see the true situation of these two juniors.
The treasure house is underground in this compound.
Xia Haoran followed the two of them up a total of forty or fifty steps, and finally came to an empty underground hall. He couldn't help being shocked, and thought to himself: "These guys knew how to use treasure houses like this thousands of years ago.
The precious things are placed underground, and they are dug so deep! Judging from the current depth, even if it is to prevent some thermal weapons such as armor-piercing bullets, there is no problem! What a bunch of old foxes, with foresight!
clever!!!"
There are six warehouses on the side of the empty hall where you enter through the stairs.
It seems that some of the precious treasures collected by the Qingcheng Sect over hundreds of years are stored here. And those precious medicinal materials and ores are placed in the two outermost warehouses.
As the warehouse door was opened, Xia Haoran stepped into the medicinal material room and couldn't help but be frightened by the scene in front of him. The rows of cabinets were filled with various precious medicinal materials, and the quantity was so large that
There are hundreds of species! Moreover, he discovered that Xia Haoran glanced over and saw more than a dozen ginseng roots that were more than 500 years old...
Good guy!
Xia Haoran took a breath of air.
At this moment, his heart was filled with shock and so many resources!
But soon, Xia Haoran suddenly thought of another question. Since there are such rich cultivation resources in the warehouse, why are the cultivation levels of many disciples of the Qingcheng Sect still only at an average level?
"Senior Xia, here are the medicinal materials that our Qingcheng Sect has collected and searched for for thousands of years. They are all here. You can take whatever you want. As long as you can see it, you can even move them all away." Respected Taoist Qingyun
said.
Although his heart ached, the words he spoke were like water being poured out. As the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, he still has this magnanimity and magnanimity. What's more, the Qingcheng Sect has always been indifferent to the world.
, living a quiet, indifferent, happy life. Therefore, under the influence and influence of this culture, everyone in the sect has developed a good habit of being true to their word and being loyal and trustworthy!
"I didn't expect that your treasure house would be so rich! I'm very satisfied." Xia Haoran looked around and said with a smile: "By the way, are these medicinal materials found by the disciples within the sect? Or are they collected from outside?"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Qingmu bowed slightly and said: "Senior, since our Qingcheng Sect is located deep in Qingcheng Mountain, we have unique advantages in medicinal materials. Therefore, most of the medicinal materials in the treasure house are from disciples of the past dynasties.
What you are looking for is only a very small part that is exchanged from outside.”
"oh."
Xia Haoran nodded, without delay, and wandered around the treasure house of medicinal materials as casually as if he were going shopping. He did not intend to keep the secret of the storage ring during this trip to Qingcheng Mountain, so he was simply very generous.
They started using it right under their noses.
Besides, with Xia Haoran's current cultivation level and identity, even if this secret is exposed, no one will do anything with it. What's more, he is currently thinking about how to find those cultivating families and sects.
As for the trouble, someone comes to the door of his own initiative, doesn't that give him an honest reason to come and rob him?
Why not?
However, as Xia Haoran moved around, his two old friends, Taoist Qingmu and Taoist Qingyun, could not help but open their eyes wide. Because they saw that as Xia Haoran approached, the medicinal materials seemed to be sucked by something.
A steady stream of water rushed toward Xia Haoran's palm and disappeared in an instant.
