Indirect practice has proven that even if there is no contact with dual cultivation, Yin and Yang techniques are helpful in opening up meridians and acupuncture points. Applying the methods in Chongguan will not only speed up the progress of breaking through acupuncture points, but also improve the transformation effect of true energy.
With the help of Sister Qing, the time to open the Neiguan acupoint was almost two to three days ahead of schedule.
So Liu Xiaolou happily entered the seventh point - the impact of Daling Point, but only one piece of spiritual stone was left in his hand. Half a month later, the last piece was used up, and I had to end this meditation practice.
When Sister Qing came to visit again, Liu Xiaolou expressed his gratitude to her: "Sister Qing, I can't repay you for your careful guidance these days. This jade pendant is a small gift, so please accept it."
Sister Qing was stunned: "You don't practice anymore?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "It's almost time to go back to the mountain. I don't know if the Qingyu Sect has left..."
Sister Qing said hurriedly: "They haven't left, they are still here. Just stay calm. Didn't you say that your practice has made great progress? Why don't you just work hard?"
Liu Xiaolou scratched his head: "You haven't left yet? It's been three months..." Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Then I have to leave, the spirit stones are gone, so I have to go out to find opportunities to earn some spirit stones. "
Sister Qing smiled: "I've been thinking about this for you! Two days ago, an outer steward of the Qingyu Sect went to my place to have a drink. After eating too much, he opened his mouth and cursed Zhanglong Mountain, Dongyang Mountain and Tianmu Mountain said that it was because of these three mountains that the stewards were reprimanded by the sect and had to travel thousands of miles away to work hard. When my girl asked the reason, the steward said that the three mountains refused to sell their spiritual wine, Lingmi had no choice but to go to other places, he was sent to Qiandong, and he was not sure whether the sect there would sell it."
Among the sects in Jingxiang, Zhanglong Mountain produces spiritual rice, Tianmu Mountain brews spiritual wine, and Dongyang Mountain also brews some spiritual wine, but not much. In addition, other sects, aristocratic families, and casual cultivators produce very little. It’s not enough for personal use, let alone selling.
Liu Xiaolou asked: "Why aren't these three mountains sold to the Qingyu Sect?"
Sister Qing sneered: "The Qingyu Sect came to western Hunan, claiming to be the Jingxiang Cultivation Sect to eliminate evil. They said that the three mountains were jealous, and they said that each Cultivation Sect was limited to the region and refused to accept their good intentions. They looked angry. It looks unfair. But even our industry knows that when doing business, you can't overdo it. If you are a sect from eastern Hunan and come to western Hunan to suppress thieves, it's hard to say anything because of human feelings, so you can make some stumbling blocks behind your back. What does it count? It’s just a refusal to sell spiritual rice and spiritual wine. If it were us, they would have knocked on the door a long time ago!"
Liu Xiaolou raised his thumb and said, "Sister Qing's insights are insightful and she hit the nail on the head!"
Sister Qing said again: "What can these Qingyu Sect masters do if they don't eat spiritual wine and spiritual rice? Can't they live? Really... Forget it, let's not talk about this, just say that I was still thinking about it when I heard it. Remember I once had a benefactor who belonged to the Zhang family in Jinping Mountain, and he seems to have a high status. I will try to find a way to see if I can contact him, but I know that the Zhang family also brews spiritual wine."
Liu Xiaolou thought for a moment and said: "Sister Qing's idea is a good one. I'll find a solution for Lingjiu. It can be back in two or three days or five or six days at the earliest. If Sister Qing has a chance, please help me contact him." Steward of the Qingyu Sect, let’s find a way to sell the wine up the mountain.”
Sister Qing immediately decided: "Let's do it this way, give him a few more spiritual stones to help Xiaolou open the Five Classics as soon as possible!"
Liu Xiaolou's path was naturally not that of the Zhang family in Jinpingshan. He immediately went out and locked up and rushed to Tianmen Shanfang City. Wei Hongqing took charge of Hongji Restaurant. Isn't this the biggest path?
When we arrived at Hongji Restaurant, Wei Hongqing was not there, but the shopkeeper already knew Liu Xiaolou and knew that he was a good friend of Wei Dong's family, so he led him to the back room and sat down, serving wine and food.
Liu Xiaolou took the opportunity to inquire about the price, and the shopkeeper also informed him.
Hongji Restaurant sells three kinds of spiritual wine. The most common one is Lu's Spirit Cellar, which costs forty taels of silver per jar. It is the kind Liu Xiaolou drank when he first came to the country to do the accounting. The spiritual power is very light, even for Liu Xiaolou. Even for monks at the third level of Qi Refining, drinking it is not enough. It is just a mouthwash.
The high-end one is Zhuyeqing, which is the kind that Wei Hongqing entertained him to drink. It costs several hundred taels of silver per jar, or half a jar of spiritual stone. The spiritual wine brewed by Zhang of Jinping Mountain of Dongyang School is comparable in taste.
The best is Tianmu Lingtai wine, which is said to be brewed with Lingquan water from Tianmu Mountain. Liu Xiaolou has never seen it, but it is only for Lu's own use and not for sale.
If you want to pour Teng Ling wine to the big men of the Qingyu Sect, Lu's Lingjiao can't get it and can't sell it at a high price, so you have to get the green bamboo leaves.
But the shopkeeper was only willing to sell one pot. When asked why, he just said that this batch of brewing was small and was only for Tianmushan's own drinking, but he had no money to sell outside. If it weren't for the sake of Wei Dong's family, this pot would He didn't even dare to sell it.
Sure enough! So Liu Xiaolou stopped talking and waited for Wei Hongqing with peace of mind.
When it was late at night and the restaurant was about to close, Wei Hongqing hurried back. When he saw Liu Xiaolou, he was not surprised. He just kicked the rest of the crowd out and asked in a low voice: "Xiaolou, have you heard? Second Young Master Lu is missing."
Liu Xiaolou remained calm: "Brother Wei, what did you hear?"
Wei Hongqing said: "I heard from the people of the Qingyu Sect that he once led two people to break into Taoyuan. After entering the mountain, they disappeared without trace. Even the photography skills could not be found. One of them, my brother, suspected that he was one of my subordinates. A steward, this steward has also been lost, and there is another one whom I don’t know about.”
Liu Xiaolou asked: "Is his disappearance a good thing or a bad thing for Brother Wei?"
Wei Hongqing smiled and said: "Of course it's a good thing. This guy always makes trouble for Brother Wei. In the past few months, Brother Wei has really saved himself a lot of trouble."
Liu Xiaolou said: "Isn't that great?"
Wei Hongqing said: "It's just that his brother Lu Yuanlang is a bit troublesome. He is like a mad dog. He dislikes everyone and thinks everyone is the murderer of his brother. But because he is upright and not afraid of the shadow, he can just let him do whatever he wants. But Lu Yuanlang turned his attention to the Qingyu Sect again..."
Liu Xiaolou seemed to have some realization: "So you guys, Tianmu Mountain has cut off their spiritual power of spiritual wine?"
Wei Hongqing nodded: "It was Lu Yuanlang's suggestion, and it was also because the Zhanglong Sect took the initiative to contact them. The elders agreed to cut off their spiritual wine, and the Zhanglong Sect also decided not to sell them spiritual rice. The people of the Qingyu Sect are used to eating it. They can't stand the sudden change of taste after drinking spiritual wine and spiritual rice. Let's see how long they can stay in Xiangxi... So..."
Liu Xiaolou changed the topic: "So I came here this time because of the spiritual wine. I want to ask Brother Wei if I can sell some Bamboo Leaf Green to me."
Wei Hongqing nodded with a smile on his face: "How many do you want?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "Try not to cause trouble to Brother Wei. How about we come to Sitan first?"
Wei Hongqing said: "During these days, spiritual wine is not sold to the outside world... In this way, if you come every two days and take a jar with you every day, I will give you a discount of eighty taels per jar. You, but you can’t say you bought it from me.”
Liu Xiaolou said happily: "Thank you so much, Brother Wei!"
Liu Xiaolou spent all his money, including the gold hairpins, pearls and jade that Big White Goose had picked up, and the ingot of silver that Sister Qing had given him. He just made up more than eighty taels of silver and gave them to Wei Hongqing.
Wei Hongqing originally wanted to advance money for Liu Xiaolou, but Liu Xiaolou insisted not to do so. Since the calculation was enough, why bother asking his good brother to advance money?
Holding this altar of green bamboo leaves, Liu Xiaolou rushed back to Wuchao Town overnight.
