After practicing, Li Shuidao was responsible for managing the affairs of Tianchifang, and regularly spent several days with Ding Yufeng at Mosha Cliff. In addition to physical communication, they also discuss important matters of cultivation and the sect.
As a descendant of a large family, Ding Yufeng has much more knowledge than Li Shuidao. Although the two have similar cultivation levels, she has a deeper understanding of cultivation.
Rongling realm monks are divided into three levels:
In the early stage, mana fusion: the cultivator can absorb mana from the same ginseng and fuse his own mana with it.
In the middle stage, the fusion of Tao and Dharma: cultivators can absorb Tao and Dharma from Tongshen, enhance the power of their own Tao and make it compatible with it.
In the later stage, the dharma body is integrated: the cultivator can control everything in Tong Shen, including Tong Shen’s dharma body.
Ding Yufeng pointed out that the purpose of cultivation is not to simply fuse the same ginseng, and fusion is just an appearance. The real purpose is "control".
The cultivation of Rongling realm is for tolerance, not integration.
Use the high to accommodate the inferior, the strong to accommodate the weak, the large to accommodate the small.
Monks with large-scale Tongshen usually choose to fuse with Dharma-body, because this can actually improve their combat power. For example, monks from Bihaimen or Divine Eagle Sect generally have large-scale Tongshen. Once Dharma-body is fused, their combat power will be greatly improved.
As for small Tongshen, even those that have been turned into tools, they do not need to be fused with Dharma Body, because even if they are fused, their combat power cannot be improved, and Dharma Body Fusion is meaningless.
Li Shuidao's Jade Toad has been miniaturized, and Xia Ruoxue's White Bone Demon Sword has been turned into a tool, so there is no need to fuse the Dharma Body.
In addition, Ding Yufeng gave Li Shuidao the first half of "Xian Chan Qi".
"Xian Chan Qi" is divided into two parts: Taiyin and Swallowing Heaven.
Although Li Shuidao has obtained the complete "Immortal Toad Qi", he cannot tell anyone, not even Ding Yufeng. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he lied that he only practiced "Jade Chan Xing Qigong".
Ding Yufeng personally found the first half of the "Immortal Toad Qi" for him.
In this way, the origin of Li Shuidao's skills can be explained reasonably, saving him the trouble he may encounter in the future.
Li Shuidao is not afraid of owing Ding Yufeng a favor. He knows that the more Ding Yufeng pays, the deeper the relationship between them will be.
Of course, the feelings are always mutual. If you want to maintain this relationship for a long time, then Li Shuidao must also pay.
However, Ding Yufeng is the master of the Ding family's weapon refining, and she has astonishing wealth in her own private treasury.
Li Shuidao could only repay her kindness in another way...
…
Huangni Village.
A golden rice field stretches into the distance, and the rice ears bend down, as if paying tribute to the earth.
The sun shines on the fields, reflecting the smiling face of the girl Jin Qiao. At the age of thirteen, she is running carefree in the fields, enjoying freedom and happiness.
Suddenly, a person shouted loudly: "Jin Qiao, go back to eat!"
Jin Qiao stopped, turned around and ran towards home.
Jin Qiao's home is in the village, with a small courtyard surrounded by a wall. The courtyard is filled with a strong pastoral atmosphere.
There are many people in the family, brothers and sisters huddle together, and every day is full of laughter and laughter.
The white rice and the fragrant bacon made Jin Qiao's mouth water. Today's lunch was extraordinarily rich.
The eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother couldn't wait to gather around the table and compete for the delicious food. They pushed each other, and laughter and shouts filled the yard.
Jin Qiao was small and could not compete with her four elder brothers, but there were four pieces of bacon in her bowl, which were given to her by her four elder brothers.
Eating the rice in the bowl and chewing the delicious bacon, Jin Qiao felt extremely happy and sweet...
night……
Jin Qiao, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She vaguely heard her mother's cry.
Jin Qiao's heart tightened. She stood up carefully and walked lightly to her parents' door.
Through the cracks in the sparse wooden door, Jin Qiao saw her parents sitting by the bed, their faces full of worry and exhaustion.
The mother cried and said: "Jin Qiao is only thirteen years old and has no hair. How can she get married?"
The father was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "Jin Qiao must get married, leaving only the eldest and second child to work at home, inherit our farmland, and provide for us until we die. The third and fourth children have to be sent to the city to work. If there is no one to collect it, we will open up wasteland at home. As the children grow up, their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and the stored grains are almost exhausted. The weather has been good these past few years, but if there is a famine year, our whole family will starve to death."
Mother wiped her tears and said, "Can you also send Jinqiao to the city?"
The father was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Tomorrow I will ask Brother Xue if I can send Jin Qiao to the city to be a maid."
Jin Qiao eavesdropped on her parents' conversation. She silently returned to her bedroom and didn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, a businessman named Xue Kangfu came to Jin Qiao's home.
He was dressed in gorgeous silk robes and had a shrewd smile on his face.
The couple entertained him warmly, and they hoped that Xue Kangfu could take Jin Qiao and her two brothers to the city to find a better livelihood.
Xue Kangfu looked at Jin Qiao and his two brothers with a satisfied look on his face, and promised: "Jin Qiao is so well-behaved and beautiful, she will definitely become a maid in a wealthy family. As for the two little brothers, I will try my best to find a suitable match for them." work so that they can support themselves.”
"Brother Xue...I'll trouble you then." Jin's father handed over a package with a look of reluctance. It was thirty copper coins that the family had saved, and it was also a burden for the three children on the way.
Xue Kangfu took the bag and felt the heavy coins in the bag, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Jin Qiao and his two brothers were sent away, and their faces were still blank until they walked out of the village.
Village entrance.
"Father, mother." Jin Qiao threw herself at her parents, and the whole family burst into tears.
Their eyes were full of reluctance...
In the end, Xue Kangfu took Jin Qiao, Jin Fu and Jin Qiang to leave Huangni Village and embarked on a journey to the unknown.
Jin Qiao tightly held the handkerchief given to her by her parents, her heart filled with longing for her family.
Shenmu City.
A city inhabited by a legendary cultivating family.
Jin Qiao obviously felt that the air here was different from other places, but she couldn't tell specifically. She looked around and saw towering city walls and ancient buildings exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Jin Qiao's two elder brothers, Jin Fu and Jin Qiang, were sent to the escort agency by Xue Fukang and became two mao workers. If they do well, they may become escort masters in the future and earn a lot of money.
Now only Jin Qiao is left.
Just when she was dreaming about working as a maid in a rich family.
Xue Kangfu took her to Fireworks Willow Alley.
Ask the Flower House.
This is a brothel.
The madam gave Xue Kangfu a gold coin, and Xue Kangfu blew a puff and turned around to leave.
"Uncle Xue, you are not a maid from a rich family here!" Jin Qiao shouted loudly. She finally realized that she had been deceived, but it was of no use. Two strong men carried Jin Qiao into a dark room.
It was a woodshed.
The door is locked.
This is a woodshed.
The woodshed was dark and damp, and several women who had also been sold sat quietly in the corner, their eyes revealing fear and uneasiness about the future.
I do not know how long it has been……
The door of the woodshed was suddenly pushed open. Jin Qiao looked up and saw a young girl wearing gorgeous clothes walking in. She had bright eyes and carried an exaggerated sword on her back. The ferocious madam looked respectful beside her.
She glanced at all the women in the woodshed, and finally landed on Jin Qiao. She pointed at Jin Qiao and said, "This girl is pretty good."
Then she gave the old bustard a jade coin, and Jin Qiao was taken away.
Jin Qiao was placed in a wealthy family's house, with the name "Li Family of Shenmu City" written on the door.
Here, she doesn't need to do anything except study every day. The food is exquisite and delicious, and life is carefree.
This wealthy family also had many girls who were bought by Zhao Ling'er like Jin Qiao. They were placed in a large courtyard and lived together every day.
The girl who brought them here is called Zhao Ling'er. She goes in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane every day, and almost every time she brings back a girl as old as herself.
Every morning, a maid will come to teach them how to wash up, how to take care of themselves, and how to salute their master when they see them...
There is also a private school teacher who teaches them how to read, and they sit together and read aloud...
Jin Qiao and the other girls studied very seriously.
The learning content is very heavy, especially in terms of writing. Fortunately, we are all children from poor backgrounds, and every girl reads until late at night...
In this comfortable environment, Jin Qiao got to know a group of sisters, and everyone got along well with each other. They share joys and sorrows together, support and help each other.
They all thought that they were about to become the maids of a wealthy family, and that they were the kind of maids who were knowledgeable and sensible.
About a year later...
Zhao Ling'er followed a mysterious woman wearing black silk clothes to this magnificent compound.
The woman in black exuded a suffocating aura of terror, and even though she was smiling, Jin Qiao felt a sense of oppression.
"This is Your Majesty Zhaoyi." Zhao Ling'er introduced loudly.
The maids in the courtyard lined up neatly and bowed to the woman in black.
Xia Ruoxue nodded with satisfaction.
"Linger, you have worked hard this year."
"It is my honor for my disciple to be able to share his worries and joy for my master." Zhao Ling'er replied respectfully.
"Yes, we can teach them to practice now. But what we are training are masters of the secret hall, not a group of maids who practice the most important thing. Now is the time for them to understand the cruelty of the world of immortality. If they cannot withstand the test, they will be sent to prison. Go back to the brothel." Xia Ruoxue said coldly.
A firm look flashed in Zhao Ling'er's eyes, and she understood what her master meant.
Tianchifang Dark Hall is a direct line organization that completely obeys the orders of Master Xia Ruoxue and the owner Li Shuidao. Master has devoted a lot of effort to this end. Every member must be strictly screened. Only those who can withstand the test can receive a steady stream of Practice resources...
