Chapter 70 The difficulty of practice, the road is long and long!
Step out of Qingfengju and walk along the mountain road.
Holding the disciple's token, Ji Qiu prepared to go out to Fangshi to sell the stack of talismans he drew last time in exchange for spiritual stones to purchase cultivation resources.
Occasionally, when he meets a familiar comrade, Ji Qiu will stop briefly and say hello.
Now it has been a year since he started. After such a long time, he is no longer as ignorant about the situation of Shenxiao Sect as he was back then.
Senior Brother Lu Bai, who recruited him from Shangyuan Mountain in the Jin Kingdom, provided Ji Qiu with a lot of help in the first month.
Whether it was the practice market at the foot of Shenxiao Mountain or some of the rules within the sect, Ji Qiu learned all about it from his mouth.
Going back and forth saved a lot of effort.
It's just a pity.
Senior Brother Lu Bai, whose senses were relatively good to him, had already gone down the mountain.
After a month, the sect finally approved a Foundation Establishment Pill. After receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Bai adjusted his spiritual energy to its peak and soon died in the cave.
Ji Qiu has never forgotten how high-spirited Lu Bai was when he was in seclusion.
Also, no matter who has been practicing hard for half a life, and finally reaches the threshold of building the foundation of Taoism, how can he feel calm?
Many immortal stories recorded in biographies all begin with Daoji.
But before retreating, and when they are full of ambition, everyone feels that they will be the next protagonist.
Unfortunately, things often go against your wishes nine times out of ten.
Hundreds of people built the foundation, but only one achieved it. How can words describe the difficulty?
After half a month of retreat, Lu Bai declared that the foundation building had failed.
On that day, Ji Qiu had just entered the Qi Refining Gate. When he saw that Lu Bai's originally upright figure had become rickety, and even his black hair had become gray, he already knew the result.
If you fail to attack the Daoji when you are nearly fifty years old, then you may not have a second chance in this life.
Soon, after Ji Qiu's last meeting with Lu Bai, this monk who was at the peak of Qi refining reported to the Deacon Hall, invited himself to be a guest, and went down the mountain to enjoy himself.
When saying goodbye, he could clearly see the nostalgia, loneliness and unwillingness in the eyes of this middle-aged purple-robed senior brother.
This incident had a great impact on Ji Qiu's Taoism and helped him establish a correct concept of seeking Taoism.
The road is difficult, and even if you have great opportunities that others cannot match, you should not be too confident and vain.
How many talented people were buried on this vast immortal road?
Before you become enlightened, you will always be an ant!
Therefore, the road ahead is long, and we still have to be cautious and climb step by step.
After all, there is a long road ahead!
...
The Shenxiao Sect is inherited as a side sect, so the Xiuzhenfang City at the foot of the mountain is naturally guaranteed to be safe.
Walking through the bustling Shenxiao City, Ji Qiu was wearing a Shenxiao Taoist robe that was eye-catching, and with his extraordinary temperament, he almost walked over with the envy of others.
Although Shenxiao City was built in the Jin Kingdom, it has always been regarded as the foundation of Shenxiao Mountain because of the Shenxiao Gate.
Most of the people living there are families who have been related to the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect for hundreds of years, or some casual cultivators who have traveled here and settled here.
Over time, it created a situation where immortals and mortals lived together.
Of course, for the emerging cultivation world of the human race, such as Beicangzhou, which has only been established for a thousand years, this situation is undoubtedly very common, and it is found almost everywhere, so it is not surprising.
In the practice market, Ji Qiu entered this street full of aura, and when he looked up, he saw almost all Qi practitioners with great cultivation.
However, the realms of these monks are uneven. Compared with the disciples of Shenxiao Sect, they are far behind.
You must know that even among low-grade spiritual bodies, the gap between them is as vast as the sky.
At that time, the spirit gathering array set up by Lu Bai and other sect monks was an extremely effective detection method, which could determine the purity of the disciples' spiritual bodies, and then select outstanding spiritual seedlings.
In the process of survival of the fittest, those with better qualifications chose to join the sect, and the quality of the remaining leftists and casual cultivators was self-evident.
But observing these monks was not the goal of Ji Qiu's trip.
So he just glanced at it and walked towards the destination of his trip - a store run by the Zhuji family and which has a history of more than a hundred years.
The ancient-looking pavilion in front of you, built on the basis of Shangcheng Ling Sandalwood, does not have any unique name. It is just a seal with two characters carved on the plaque.
However, there is an endless stream of Qi practitioners coming in and out. From this, it can be seen that the quality of the goods sold in this shop that specializes in selling talismans must be good.
Crossing the threshold and stepping into it, a sense of coolness hits your face, making you feel refreshed and relaxed.
This is the influence brought by the spiritual object Han Jade Bead. It is a special product of the archipelago sea area and is valuable. It can even be used as one of the five elements of spiritual objects that build the foundation of heaven. One of them is worth at least ten middle-grade spiritual stones.
At this time, there were eight of them placed in this shop, not to mention other spiritual decorations.
Really rich and powerful.
At this time, in front of the counter, a pretty young woman wearing a green gauze silk skirt was leaning on the desk, holding her cheek and half-squinting her eyes, as if she was dozing off.
It wasn't until she heard the noise that the woman opened her eyes.
When the young Taoist priest wearing a purple robe and a jade crown walked in, the beautiful woman's eyelashes trembled, and then they lit up:
"Fellow Daoist Ji from Shenxiao Sect!"
"Come in quickly. What good stuff are you bringing this time?"
"Would you like a cup of tea?"
The woman diligently clasped her hands behind her back, stood up straight with a smile, and her chest trembled slightly, seemingly unintentionally, showing Linlong's graceful figure to the fullest.
But Ji Qiu acted as if he didn't see anything. Without any nonsense, he just waved his sleeves and took out a total of two hundred talismans from the storage bag.
Spreading the talismans in front of the desk, the Taoist sorted them one by one and answered:
"There are magic charms, lightening charms, evil-proof charms, concealment charms, cleaning charms, lighting charms, etc. in them. The effects are in my hands, and the effects and durations are longer than those drawn by other talisman masters.
.”
"Although we have cooperated several times, do you want to inspect the goods first?"
Ji Qiu's expression did not change, as if he didn't care about the beauty of the green gauze female cultivator in front of him.
In response, the female cultivator's beautiful eyes flashed, with a hint of moistness and seductiveness, which was almost hard to look away. Then she stretched out her hand with a smile, casually took out the Zhang Fulu, checked it, and said:
"That's not necessary. Over the past six months or so, the effect of every batch of talismans produced by fellow Taoist friends has been trustworthy. Our Mu family still believes in you."
"According to the price, these are two medium-grade spiritual stones. Here, Fellow Daoist Ji, keep them. Welcome to come again next time!"
After saying that, the female cultivator waved her jade hand stretched out from under the sleeves of her gauze skirt, and her every move was extremely seductive.
Sure enough, business is good not without reason...
