19:00 Army Airfield No. 116
This is San Francisco's own airport. Because of the need to accommodate heavy bombers, it is even larger than the San Francisco Airport on the other side of the city.
However, because there are two special groups of "military households" and "craftsman households" who have to go on business trips, 116 Airport still has a terminal building. Every seat here is a VIP seat with a sofa, and there are free snacks and tea. The crab cakes that are very expensive elsewhere can be eaten here. The only thing that is not free is radishes, because they are too expensive.
"It turns out that radishes are so expensive in their place of origin..."
Lu Huaiyang sat back in his seat, still mumbling. He was holding a radish wrapped in a carton. There were no fancy markings on the outside, only the "San Francisco Military Station" print and a radish-shaped pattern.
"Lu Qianhu." Shangluo, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice, "How much does this cost? I've been here for many years, but I haven't bought it myself yet."
"There are 4 kilograms and 2 taels of radish in this bag. After zeroing it out, it costs 55 taels of silver."
"So this carrot is so expensive? Is Jin Yiwei's salary very high?"
"Hey." Lu Huaiyang laughed, "Our wages are only a few cents, a fraction of your family's. Jin Yiwei's salary is very meager, which means that people can't starve to death."
"But why? There is obviously money everywhere, why does Jin Yiwei have no money?"
"Jinyiwei has no money because there is no internal funds. Our salary comes from the royal funds, but the royal funds are only so much, and the emperor's money is not tight. Most of the funds are used to purchase consumables for cultivation. The wages we get are pretty good."
"If Jinyiwei itself has the ability to purchase elixirs, then what are these radishes?"
"I bought it for my daughter. I can't eat it and take it home, right? I can only buy it for myself. My daughter's spiritual roots are not very good, but she practices very hard. We don't want to give up on cultivating immortals. Road, because there is always one person in a generation who can successfully build the foundation and be promoted to a heavenly being. But the older you get, the harder it is to rely on spiritual objects to maintain your innate body. She is 16 years old this year, and these radishes are only enough for her for a few months. expenses. The family has borrowed a lot of debt."
After speaking, he looked at Shangluo:
"So, when I heard that you were refining the foundation-building pill, I immediately reported it to the court. Please don't blame me. We all...we all want to build the foundation too much. The road to immortality is so slim that it takes almost an entire generation to build it. A successful foundation is a person. If you cannot build a foundation, you are just a mortal after all. Only after you become a heavenly being can you hope to live forever."
"Like General Bai?"
"General Bai? Which General Bai?"
"General Bai Feng?"
Lu Huaiyang shook his head: "Baifeng is the title of the general. After the Jin Dynasty becomes a heavenly being, the court will have titles. The general's own surname is Fu, and his name is Yuanshan. He is the youngest heavenly being, only 49 years old when the foundation was established. "
"Then he is already the previous generation? What about the previous generation?"
"The previous generation was Wen Yan, my senior brother. You may have noticed that he was Wen Yuan's father. But when he was building the foundation, he fell short and died. Dao Ancestor also felt deeply sorry for this, so he felt sorry for him. The general number of 'Yun Tuan' was posthumously sealed."
"No wonder he was so concerned when he saw me refining the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
"At that time, he must have been afraid that you would go crazy and be unable to do business. That kid is very talented and works hard, but he is not very lucky. Luck is his biggest weakness, because luck is also a part of destiny. Even if he is famous Qualifications for heavenly beings also require great opportunities to build the foundation, because we have never been short of geniuses. All Jinyiwei are among the best, and there is no one who is not a genius. Among so many people, it still takes one generation to produce one .if you can..."
"I understand." Shangluo nodded solemnly, "If I can help everyone, I will not be stingy. Teaching everyone to build foundations will not hurt me at all, because knowledge is still knowledge when it is shared. If everyone can build foundations, Foundation, the number of wealthy couples in the entire monk world will increase, and my own path will become easier in the future. If there are only four or five heavenly beings in the foundation-building stage, then our path will really progress. The road is bleak.”
"Very good, very good. Your situation has become bigger. I believe that Dao Ancestor will not let you down. It goes without saying that I will help you build your own foundation. Even if it is to help you form elixirs and even reach the legendary Nascent Soul stage, It’s not impossible. Daozu’s strength is unfathomable, and he will definitely be able to help you go further.”
While talking, Wen Yuan, who went to get the meal, came back. He was very hungry, so he kept going to get food. He ate four rice dumplings, and the rice dumpling leaves covered the table next to him. This time I came back and picked up a can of grape soda and 5 packages of crab cakes.
"Why don't you sit there and come back after eating?" Shangluo asked him.
"I'm wearing a military uniform. What do I look like sitting there eating and drinking?"
"But aren't all the guards here?"
"A gentleman should be cautious. Someone is watching it and no one is watching it. It should be the same. Well... So I will take it back and eat a little at a time. If there is not enough, I will take it again."
As he spoke, he opened the grape soda.
"呲——"
With a little force, he crushed the can, and the grape juice inside shot up into the sky. He stepped back to the side with lightning speed and got out of the way before the grape juice hit the ground. Grape juice poured on the sofa.
Opposite him, Lu Huaiyang revealed half of his eyes from behind the newspaper, glanced at him, and then continued to read the newspaper with his head down. "Your memory hasn't recovered yet?" Lu Huaiyang muttered.
"Yes, it seems that the soul is a little damaged. There is something wrong with the muscle memory. This jar seems to be more fragile than I thought."
"Have a good rest after you go back and make some prescriptions to soothe your nerves. The chariot race is coming soon. This is the most important race before your graduation. Lu Liang will probably kick you again if he sees your dazed look."
"But can you blame me? This is a work-related injury! That soul-sucking technique still makes the back of my head hurt. If she kicks me again, won't it hurt me more and more?"
"I will tell her to calm down. But I can't help her getting angry at school. I don't stay at your school all day long. In short, you should recover quickly. If you can't recover, you can The trouble will be big.”
"Is his injury serious?" Shangluo asked from the side.
"His physical injuries are not serious. I have also seen the dislocated shoulder. He will be fine in ten days. The problem is that his muscle memory has been shattered. This is the big problem. Our practice is the mind method" "Lei Lang Tian Jing", and the external skill "Running Thunder". Pay attention to your own intention first. The sword is faster than the brain. Only when you have no intention and no thoughts can you be as fast as running thunder. Only when you cannot react yourself can you prevent others from reacting. Once you reach the highest level, you can achieve great freedom and develop physical skills that reach the realm of transformation - if he forgets his 'intention', more than half of his cultivation in the past ten years will be lost."
