The journey back was uneventful. The five people let go of their speed and headed straight towards the sect. After flying for about three hours, they finally made it back to the sect in the evening.
When entering the sect, Qian Chao also saw a scene that surprised him.
At the entrance of the sect, several monks were surrounding a person asking questions. It seemed that the person surrounded was in some trouble. When Qian Chao and others passed by, those people just looked at it and ignored him. .
However, Qian Chao felt that the man surrounded seemed familiar. After passing by, he quietly looked back and saw a monk slap the surrounded man on the face. The man who received the slap was thin, short in stature, with narrow shoulders and a narrow waist. He turned out to be the same Du Sha who had caused trouble with Qian Chao and who had once tried to rob Lu Pingchuan outside the clan!
Why is Senior Brother Dusha so depressed now?
Seeing that he didn't dare to get angry even after being beaten, Qian Chao sighed in his heart.
Senior Brother Du, is this a retribution for evil? I'm afraid not necessarily! Qian Chao didn't have a good impression of this person, and Qian Chao didn't want to provoke those who surrounded Du Sha, so he could only turn around and walk away.
The Jingshiyuan will not be closed. The monks who work here are divided into several groups and take turns to be on duty. This ensures that the monks can come here at any time to either receive orders or turn in the things they need.
Qian Chao and others handed over the small sign they had previously obtained from here and the spiritual herbs written on the small sign to a senior fellow in the Jingshiyuan. The senior fellow inspected it carefully. It was fast, after all, the five of them were just out looking for some spiritual herbs.
After the inspection was completed, according to what was recorded on the mission, the senior brother counted out forty spiritual stones and gave them to them.
The spiritual stones were first held by Tang Ping. They left the Jingshiyuan and found a small pavilion on the edge of Tianshui Lake, then sat around the table in the pavilion.
"Okay, let's start dividing the spoils now!" Tang Ping said with a smile.
"Dividing the spoils? That's such an ugly thing to say." Yanxuan laughed.
"Forty spiritual stones, five of us, eight each, come on!"
After speaking, Tang Ping distributed the spiritual stones to everyone one by one.
"Hey, speaking of it, this is my first time to earn spiritual stones with my own hands. Hehe, I'll use one when I get back." Lu Pingchuan grabbed his spiritual stone in his hand and said with a smile.
"A Ping, we broke through the third level and went out once. Until now, I still don't know how many spiritual stones are used every month for the third level of weapon refining."
The other three people are not very clear about Yanxuan's problem. In the past, if you practice three spiritual stones every month, you can't use up one. It takes two or three times to use up one. Now that you have reached the third level of cultivation, you don't know what each of them is. How many spiritual stones per month are enough.
"Well, I heard from my senior sister that we can only have five or six spiritual stones every month now. When we reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, we will need more spiritual stones every month, which is about ten dollars. .”
In fact, in addition to spiritual stones, there are also elixirs. The sect still only gives three yuan-nourishing elixirs every month. The spiritual stones earned by ordinary disciples after going out not only need to be used by themselves, but also used to exchange for elixirs from others. Come and take it, although it seems that you can earn some spiritual stones once you go out, but if you use it to buy elixirs, then these spiritual stones will be a bit stretched.
However, these people are not in a hurry. The elixirs Yanxuan will refine will be enough for several people in the future.
Speaking of which, Qian Chao does not lack these eight spiritual stones, and Tang Ping does not lack them either. However, when dividing the spiritual stones, the spiritual stones they earned will still be divided equally among the five people. If neither Qian Chao nor Tang Ping wants their share, Give it all to the other three people to share, I'm afraid this will make those three people feel uncomfortable, and that is not the way to be friends.
Anyway, the elixirs of the five people will be produced by Yanxuan, and the spiritual weapons will be produced by Qian Chao. In this way, the spiritual stones of these five people will basically be used in practice, which makes sense.
Therefore, the spiritual herbs picked outside this time were not separated, and Yanxuan took them all away for alchemy use. This was also an agreement that several people had made long ago.
"Well, when will we go out next time?"
Li Jian looked at his share of spiritual stones, raised his head and asked a few friends.
"We can't wait until the spiritual stones in our hands are used up before going out. We must always keep some spiritual stones in our hands, so that we can feel at ease when practicing. We went out for eight days this time, which is not a long time. If this happens in the future, It’s always okay to go out once a month, or twice in three months, is that okay?”
After Tang Ping finished speaking, she looked at everyone.
"Well, let's follow what Miss Tang said." Li Jian said.
The others also nodded.
"In this case, we might as well break up now. Although it's not hard to go out, I'm still a little tired after the past few days. It's time to go back and rest, and it's time to work on your own."
"Well, that's fine, then we'll all go back."
"Hey, by the way, those monster beasts we got this time will be roasted at my place in a few days. Remember to come."
"Don't worry, Brother Lu."
…
Several people broke up and went back. Tang Ping and Yan Xuan walked together first.
The first time the five of them went out, Tang Ping had been looking at Sister Yan. It was not that she was worried about Yan Xuan and was observing secretly. Tang Ping was naturally reassured about Yan Xuan's character. What she was worried about was Yanxuan's temperament.
During the day today, when the three high-level Qi refining disciples fought against the two Lingyan beasts, they used cruel methods. Tang Ping knew that Sister Yan must be feeling uncomfortable on her way back to the sect. , she planned to find an opportunity to talk to Sister Yan and give her some explanations, so as not to let today's events block Yanxuan's heart.
"Sister Yan" Tang Ping pulled Yan Xuan while the two were still flying, "I want to talk to you."
"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me." Yanxuan also stopped, and the two of them were hanging above Tianshui Lake.
"Sister Yan, did you feel unbearable after seeing the way those three people killed the Lingyan Beast today?"
"Oh, that thing, of course, although it is a monster, the method is too bad. If they can't fight it, why don't they just leave and come back later when they are more confident, or think of other methods. Go kill that monster in an honest and fair manner, but be so sneaky and sneaky, it really makes people look down upon you."
Yanxuan said angrily.
"Sister Yan, don't say you don't like the skills of those people, but who among us can like them? Well, they are still our disciples of Yuling. They act just like those monsters outside. Generally, it’s an animal behavior.”
At this point Tang Ping looked at Yanxuan and continued:
"But I'm worried about you, Sister Yan. Among us, you are the kindest and the softest. You don't want to see those. I was worried on the way back. Don't be afraid of those nasty things I saw during the day. What kind of bad influence do you have? If you think that in the future, you will do such cruel things in practice and lose your enterprising spirit, that would be bad. That would be too bad. They will do things in a bad way, but they will let others down. Sister Yan is afraid of spiritual practice, isn’t that using other people’s mistakes to punish herself?”
Yanxuan understood why Tang Ping wanted to talk to him, and when he saw her talking like this, his heart felt warm.
"Aping, thank you for telling me this. When I first saw them doing that, I was really scared and hated them. If I see this kind of thing often in the future, I really don't know what to do. What should I do? But at least I still remember what you said to me before. As long as we don’t do things like that in the future, and if we encounter people like that, just ignore them. You don’t have to go too far. worry about me."
"Well, Sister Yan, when you say this, I feel more at ease. Alas, our cultivation is low now, but it does not prevent us from knowing what is right, what is wrong, what can be done, and what cannot be done. Cultivation It's okay to be humble, as long as we can distinguish right from wrong, and we can go on the right path in the future. We can be regarded as just starting to practice, and there is still a long way to go in the future. In addition to distinguishing right from wrong, the few of us must also learn to stick to our hearts. In the future We will not see less things than we did this time, but more. There are too many weird and tempting things. We can neither be afraid nor get lost. We can’t do anything now. When our cultivation is advanced in the future , to become the kind of great monk who can turn clouds and rains upside down, then only when you see those people who behave perversely, cruelly, and do evil things, can you punish them, what do you think?"
"Aping, if you say that, I feel much better. You don't have to worry about me."
The two girls chatted for a while before returning to their own schools.
Speaking of which, this trip had a great impact on Yanxuan. Among the alchemy techniques in Qixia Mountain, there is a technique called blood elixir, which uses the inner elixir of monsters to refine elixirs. However, she has always been dissatisfied with alchemy. In the future, she will always use spiritual herbs to make alchemy. Even if she becomes an elder of Qixia Mountain and is famous for her alchemy skills, she will know about the blood alchemy but will not use it. He spent countless efforts on Xuan Dan alone and created many new alchemy recipes, which were passed down to future generations. Therefore, he was honored as Master Xuan Dan by future generations.
