After leaving the elixir garden, Chen Nuo did not leave Fangshi immediately.
He was not worried, because if he offended the steward, the steward would send someone to give him some trouble on his way home. Based on his understanding of the steward, the steward was really reluctant to spend the money.
Home must be returned.
But before going back, Chen Nuo wanted to take a stroll around the market, maybe he could gain something.
Chen Nuo's family lives in an ancient town three hundred miles away from Fang City. Because they do not yet have the Dongwang Order issued by the Dongwang Sect, they can only stay under the supervision of others and live in Liujia Town in the Liujia area of Guting.
Liu Jiaren, a virtual monk, established the Guting Liu Family in Guting Mountain a hundred years ago. After years of management by the Liu Family, there are seven towns near Guting Mountain, with as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people living in each town.
The Dongwang Sect is one of the five sects of the Tao Sect and is responsible for issuing the Dongwang Order and coordinating conflicts and disputes among various cultivating families.
The Dongwang Order can be used as a certificate to establish a family, or as a pass to appeal to a powerful family, directly to the Dongwang Palace and up to Tianting.
For a small family like the Chen family, which does not even have a monk above the Void stage, it would be difficult to obtain an Eastern King Order to establish a family.
They can only hope to pick up the missing items, and maybe they can come across a task that they can complete. You must know that Dongwang Pavilion sometimes issues some weird collection tasks. As long as you take those unknown items, you can exchange them.
Arrive at Dong Wang Ling.
Chen Nuo walked straight to the Dongwang Pavilion in Fang City. He looked at the notice on the outer wall of the pavilion and found that none of the tasks on the notice could be completed by him at this stage.
"well."
Chen Nuo sighed helplessly and turned listlessly into the street stall square next to him.
Compared with the deserted situation in front of the Dongwang Pavilion, the square was bustling with people.
The square covers an area the size of four or five football fields, and it is densely packed with people, not only monks, but also some mortals living around the city.
Monks who want to sell goods can directly place the goods in the area with red grids on the ground, and then they can start doing business.
Dongwang Pavilion is nearby. No one dares to act wild here. Even the disciples of the four major families can only obey the rules of freedom of buying and selling as soon as they enter here.
Chen Nuo's pocket was not generous. He bought more and less, mainly in exchange for some spiritual grasses and flowers of different quality.
According to the cultivation method, he can condense a drop of Yimu water every seven days. This water can heal spiritual plants, and there is also a certain chance that the spiritual plants will be promoted to a higher level, but this probability is unbearable for people to look at.
Now, with the help of Thunder Drum, he can increase the chance, and the first pot of gold in his life will be landed here.
The price of spiritual plants of different quality can be reduced by more than half. As long as they are cultivated and matured, more spiritual stones can be harvested. Chen Nuo shopped around for a long time and only harvested five spiritual plants.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that there is a jujube tree among them. This jujube tree is twenty years old. Half of the tree is dead, and the other half is wilted and looks like it will not survive.
The stall owner was also a man who knew how to make a living. Seeing that the jujube tree was in bad condition, he quickly sealed it in the spiritual tablet and sold it. If he could sell it, it would not be a loss.
Most of the fruit trees that can bear spiritual fruits like this are cultivated by spiritual planters and grow in the wild, and the number is very small.
Chen Nuo looked at the withered jujube tree in the spiritual tablet and estimated that at least four or five drops of Yimu water would be needed to successfully treat it. This was his conservative estimate.
However, if you transplant fruit trees from the wild and cultivate them yourself, due to the lack of high-quality spirit-gathering arrays at home and the lack of sufficient nourishment of spiritual energy, even one more generation of Yimu Water may not be successful.
As long as it is revived, it will produce jujubes next year, which can be regarded as supplementing some household expenses.
Unexpectedly, this trip would bring such a harvest. Chen Nuo did not dare to stay any longer. He had to go home quickly while it was still early.
The journey of more than three hundred miles would take Chen Nuo an hour.
When he returned home and informed his father that he had been fired from the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Chen's father sighed for a long time.
Of course, Chen Nuo did not tell anything about Thunder Drum, including the enhanced version of Yimu Water that you can get one drop per month.
On the way back, he also thought about some follow-up matters. If there is a spiritual plant promotion in the future, he can blame the spiritual silkworm for the reason.
At least on the surface, he was fired because of this spiritual silkworm.
If what he expected was correct, the spiritual silkworm should give him some small surprises after waking up.
However, his family members were not as optimistic as he was. A cloud of sadness hung over the entire Chen family, and everyone looked gloomy.
"Third brother, why are you so confused!" The eldest brother, Chen Wang, limped his left leg and wailed.
He didn't expect that his usually calm third brother would actually make such a low-level mistake and lose his good job just because of a low-grade first-class spiritual grass.
"Third brother, the past is the past. Don't think too much. In the future, as a family, even if everyone suffers from hunger, we will never lose your share. You should also be more ambitious and practice to the virtual form as soon as possible.
Qi. We, the Chen family, all depend on you." The second sister Chen Panpan had tears in her eyes. She is the only female member of the family who can practice spiritual practice.
The family's resources are limited, and the second sister knows that she is not very qualified. Although her father will never miss her share, and as long as her eldest brother has it, she will definitely not miss it, but she always saves money and saves money.
Provide subsidies to younger brothers and sisters.
Chen's father dismissed the crowd that had gathered on his own and told them to do whatever they were supposed to do. He still had the final say in the Chen family and he had his own way.
In the crowd, a nine-year-old girl timidly stepped forward and took Chen Nuo's hand.
Her nickname is Jiu Nu, and she has no real name. Jiu Nu is the ninth daughter of the Chen family, literally.
Jiu Nu and Chen Nuo were brothers and sisters from the same father and mother. Their mother only gave birth to two of them and died young when Jiu Nu was still young.
At that time, Chen Nuo had just been enlightened and was sent by Chen's father to his second sworn brother in Baiyang Fairy City to learn the Jing Shui Yi Mu Jue. After he had learned it for a year, he was directly recruited into the Song family to study the art.
Ninth Girl has no biological mother to take care of her, so she can only be sent to other aunts for foster care. Whenever Chen Nuo comes home, Ninth Girl will stay close to her brother until Chen Nuo leaves again.
It's not that the other aunts are not good to Jiu Nu, it's just that Jiu Nu has been close to Chen Nuo since she was a child. Moreover, under the influence of her ears and eyes, Jiu Nu knows that as long as she doesn't enlighten the spiritual aperture, she will gradually drift away from her brother.
of.
In this world, if a girl does not have the qualifications to become an immortal, she will not be given a name. Even if they grow up and get married, most of them will be named so-and-so, with the first so-and-so bearing the husband's surname, and the latter so-and-so being the maiden name.
Chen Nuo is not used to such customs. He is a successor of the Communist Party of China who grew up under the red flag. Equality between men and women has long been a consensus in society. Women should take their husband's surname after marriage, which does not exist in his country.
However, in this world, the reality is like this, and it is not only full of malice towards women. Even mortal men have to get married early and have children, so there is no room for bargaining.
Even in most families, low-level monks who have poor foundation and no hope of advancing to the virtual stage will be arranged to marry and have children with other monks early.
The next generation of two monks will have a higher success rate in being qualified to cultivate immortality. Therefore, female monks in the family will generally not marry out to casual cultivators.
A casual cultivator like Mr. Chen can only marry a few mortal women. Having more children will always lead to a qualified next generation.
In the past, some families wanted to recruit Chen's father as their son-in-law, but Chen's father refused to give up his surname, so nothing happened.
Nowadays, there are also some family members who want to marry the second sister Chen. The matchmakers have crossed several thresholds, but all of them were rejected by Chen's father.
The Chen family was weak, and Chen's father was reluctant to let Panpan marry him and suffered the injustice. However, he deliberately wanted to recruit some disciples to marry him, but he couldn't find anyone who knew the root cause.
Second Sister Chen has just turned 20 and is still not very old.
And if the ninth daughter does not have a spiritual acuity, she will have to recruit a son-in-law when she is fourteen or fifteen years old.
The difference between monks and mortals is so great. This is the difference between immortals and mortals.
"Brother, will you never leave Jiu Nu again?" Jiu Nu knew these things from the adults' conversations. She thought about it again and said decisively: "Other brothers said that I can get it next year.
The spiritual rice is gone. I won’t eat the spiritual rice. I’ll give all the spiritual rice to my brother.”
"Silly girl, you have to eat more. Only by enlightening the spiritual aperture can you share the burden on your brother's shoulders." The nine girls' childish words were like a knife thrust into Chen Nuo's heart.
A child from a poor family has already become the head of the family. I didn't expect that my sister would have to consider this for him at an age when she should be innocent and innocent.
At this moment, Chen Nuo felt that the burden on him was heavier again.
