Volume 1: Abandoned Lands Chapter 16: Each Has a Ghost
"The other type of people, speaking of it, has a lot to do with the Qingling Sect itself. The distant relatives and descendants of some of the elders in the sect, or the low-level cultivators who manage the direct properties of the Qingling Sect, can directly participate in the entrance test.
After hearing what Yu Hongzhi said, Kong Laosan finally understood that there are tens of billions of mortals in the world, and only one of them can have spiritual roots. Even so, compared to the huge population, those with spiritual roots are
There are also quite a few people who are talented. These people may have entered the immortal path due to some chance or coincidence, or they may have entered those sects of cultivating immortals and escaped from the ordinary world. However, most of these people are not very talented. Many of them have only been practicing for decades and have only reached the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining.
, so a large number of people give up practicing cultivation and go to the secular world to marry, have children, and live a wealthy life.
After these people entered the secular world, the possibility of their descendants developing spiritual roots greatly increased, and gradually formed large and small immortal cultivating families. These cultivating families are large and small, and their descendants have different spiritual root talents. The three major immortal sects in the Qin Kingdom
Naturally, there are many immortal cultivating families attached to it.
The ancestors of these cultivating families may be disciples of a certain cultivating sect, and they are more or less inextricably linked with the cultivating sect. It is also true that for the descendants of these cultivating families, these cultivating sects will give some
Special care.
Every time when disciples are recruited, the children of these immortal cultivating families only need to complete the tasks assigned by the sect before they can successfully enter the Immortal Sect and become outer disciples. Under the care of the elders in the sect, these family disciples will soon stand out and become inner disciples.
Being a disciple is almost a certainty.
"What does what you are talking about have to do with us joining the Qingling Sect?"
Kong Laosan thought for a while and asked with some doubts.
"Of course it has a lot to do with it! But I can't tell you for the time being. Let's do this. If you have nothing to do, let's go to the nearby Xianmenfang City to change some self-defense items. If the plan succeeds, we will be together in the future.
We are brothers in the sect, so we must take care of each other when the time comes!"
Yu Hongzhi rolled his eyes, but he gave up.
Kong Laosan thought for a while, but did not refuse, but he did not agree immediately, "There are still some things to do these days. If it is convenient, fellow Taoist, we can meet here in ten days, and I will give you an explanation then. How about it?"
"
Hearing this, Yu Hongzhi pondered for a moment, frowned and then relaxed, "That's good, but I'm afraid it's not enough time. How about this, you can reply to me in seven days. If you are not interested, I can find it easily."
other people!"
Kong Laosan thought for a moment and nodded, but had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Yu Hongzhi showed a surprised look. Before he could speak, Kong Laosan showed a smile and said, "I left home in a hurry and was penniless. If it is convenient for my fellow Taoist,"
Before Kong Laosan finished speaking, Yu Hongzhi's face trembled violently, and he already regarded Kong Laosan as a stupid young man who had just left the family. The purpose of cultivating immortals was to go against the will of heaven, compete for resources, and compete for that glimmer of hope.
Even close relatives can give up. Not long after they met, they opened their mouths to borrow money. Yu Hongzhi was speechless and also wavered about the cooperation he had just proposed. Is it appropriate to cooperate with such a stupid young man?
Yu Hongzhi thought in his mind, and was about to find an excuse to refuse, but Kong Laosan's voice changed, "If it is convenient for fellow Taoist, I have some pills here that I want to trade with fellow Taoist!"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Yu Hongzhi swallowed them alive, "Elixir?!"
Yu Hongzhi said something with some uncertainty, and his eyes were immediately filled with a hint of fire.
In the world of cultivating immortals, in addition to the spiritual root qualifications and immortality cultivation techniques, the most important thing is the medicinal materials and spiritual grass. After these heavenly and earthly spiritual materials are refined into elixirs by alchemists, they can either directly enhance the spiritual power in the body of the cultivator, or prolong life and rejuvenate the child.
, has all kinds of incredible miraculous effects, but there are very few alchemists in the world of immortality, and almost all of them are gathered by the big sects.
If you want to become an outstanding alchemist, in addition to having talent, the most important thing is to have enough medicinal materials to practice and test medicines. Alchemists are different from ordinary pharmacists in the world. Controlling the heat to condense elixirs requires a lot of practice to improve.
The success rate, let alone those rare elixirs that can directly increase spiritual power, even ordinary detoxification elixirs such as Qingling Dan, it doesn't matter if you refine one or two bottles, but if you refine it into hundreds or thousands of bottles, even those with deep pockets
Immortal cultivating families cannot afford it, only those great sects that have been passed down for thousands of years can.
The scarcity of alchemists also makes elixirs precious in the world of immortality. Qi-tonifying elixirs that can directly increase the speed of cultivation are hard to find. Therefore, when he heard that Kong Laosan wanted to trade some elixirs, Yu Hongzhi's first reaction was
It was not surprise, but suspicion. It was not until Kong Laosan took out four or five different bottles from his waist pocket that Yu Hongzhi's eyes showed a trace of greed and fire.
"These are all pills?!"
Yu Hongzhi swallowed his saliva and said with some uncertainty.
"That's right, I brought these things with me when I came out of the family, but I only trade them to people who know the goods. If you can't recognize them, I won't trade them no matter how much spirit stones I give them!"
Kong Laosan crossed his arms across his chest, looking unconcerned, while Yu Hongzhi, who was in surprise, had already been dazzled by the pill in front of him. As soon as Kong Laosan finished speaking, Yu Hongzhi couldn't wait to put the table on the table.
Pick up the medicine bottle on the table and examine it carefully.
"Qing Ling Dan Intermittent Pill Qi-Keeping Pill, this is a marrow-washing pill, it turns out to be a marrow-washing pill!"
Yu Hongzhi looked at each bottle carefully as if going crazy. However, when he picked up a bottle and poured out a light yellow broad bean-sized elixir, he suddenly screamed in surprise, like a child who had acquired a beloved toy.
, almost jumped up. Seeing this, Kong Laosan had a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he did not speak rashly. As long as he remembered the name of the elixir, he would look for an opportunity to check some classics.
At first, most of the bottles and jars obtained from the evil Taoist were unknown except for a few bottles of commonly used healing medicine. Now, Yu Hongzhi recognized them one by one amid his exclamation.
"Haha, fellow Taoist has really sharp eyesight. How many spiritual stones can I give you for this bottle of elixir?"
Hearing what Kong Laosan said, Yu Hongzhi finally recovered from the surprise, his face changed several times, and finally he let out a long breath, "Why is there only half of the marrow-cleansing pills in the bottle? Do you still have any left in your body, fellow Taoist?"
?I want as many as I want!"
"I took these with me when I went out. I only have this much on me now. If I didn't urgently need spiritual stones now, I wouldn't sell them at all!"
Hearing this, Yu Hongzhi squinted his small eyes and wondered if he believed Kong Laosan, but he did not say anything more.
After thinking about it, he loosened the tightly wrapped belt, and pulled out a long, bulging gray cloth bag from the belt. With a shake of his hand, a pile of smooth jade stones the size of date pits, colorful, and exuding a faint spiritual power came out of it.
Shaking it out and counting carefully, there were more than twenty. However, at this moment, Yu Hongzhi grimaced, licked his lips and said, "According to the market price, one spirit stone can probably buy three marrow cleansing pills."
, if you Taoist friend still has ten marrow-cleansing pills and some other pills, you can take all these spiritual stones."
As he said that, he looked at Kong Laosan expectantly.
Seeing Yu Hongzhi's appearance, Kong Laosan frowned. It seemed that the value of the marrow-cleansing pills was much higher than he thought, but he had no room to relax, "There are only so many!"
Hearing what Kong Laosan said, Yu Hongzhi laughed dryly. Just now, he said in his mind that the other party was stunned and wanted to borrow money from him not long after they met. But now it was him, and the pills were already scarce.
Especially this kind of elixir that can directly increase the spiritual power of Qi Refining monks is extremely hard to find. If there is one, who wouldn't take it early? In the final analysis, strength is the most important thing in the world of immortality, and strength is the foundation of everything.
.
Yu Hongzhi also thought about killing people and seizing the treasure, but thinking about his own strength and the inability to figure out the opponent's strength, and Yu Hongzhi's cautious and fearful nature, he could only suppress the greed in his heart.
After collecting more than ten spiritual stones, Kong Laosan waved his sleeves and turned around to leave.
But Kong Laosan, who turned around, didn't see a trace of strangeness in Yu Hongzhi's back, and Yu Hongzhi also didn't see a hint of sneer at the corner of Kong Laosan's mouth. The two of them had their own thoughts, but they couldn't figure it out.
