It had been six months since Ji Zuo came to coach them last time.
Ji Qingling's parents have been to the Black Crystal Mine three times.
Now everyone knows something about the situation in the mine.
The most numerous monks in the Qi Refining Stage are responsible for the hardest work - mining.
Foundation-building monks with higher cultivation levels are responsible for guarding it, because there is a monster beast in the mine, the Mountain Creeping Beast.
Pangolins usually feed on black crystal mines, so there will naturally be conflicts between humans and the beasts.
The mission of the monks in the foundation-building stage is to patrol and protect the clansmen.
As for the few Jindan elders, they all take turns taking charge of the mines.
The Black Sun Ore itself is hard in texture, and mining consumes a lot of spiritual power.
Therefore, when the spiritual energy is exhausted when mining, the spiritual energy can be restored on the spot. Although it is hard work, it is extremely helpful for cultivation.
In the past few months, Mo Sanniang's cultivation has reached the peak of Qi Refining Perfection.
Now you only need one foundation-building pill to start the retreat breakthrough.
Ji Linhai went to find Ji He, who was also very enthusiastic and agreed to help him submit the application.
But day after day, the replies were like nothing.
On this day, Ji Qingling went from shop to shop as usual, asking for news about the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Everyone agreed that we should not place all our hopes on the family.
The spiritual stones have been prepared for a long time, but there is not even a trace of the foundation-building pill on the market.
As she was about to enter the last store, she saw an acquaintance.
Manager Ji Jiadong whom I met when I first came to Tongcheng.
Subconsciously, she didn't want him to see her and hid to the side.
Fortunately, the monk's five senses are particularly sensitive and he can hear the conversation clearly.
"Manager Dong, take a look, here are last month's accounts. The pills you brought a few days ago have been sold out, especially that bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill. It was ordered long ago, and others were also bought. A lot of walking.”
Ji Qingling stretched out his head to look at the shop's sign, Changshengtang.
Is this Ji's shop? So there are foundation building pills but they are not given?
In fact, she knew in her heart that it was unlikely that her family would be given the Foundation Establishment Pill if they reached out to her family as soon as they arrived in Tongcheng.
But she listened to the village chief and Uncle Qingshan. If someone in the family wanted to build a foundation, they only needed to report it and the family would provide it.
Well, she didn't know much about this family group either.
She squatted in front of a stall outside Changsheng Hall, picking around.
"The girl has such a good eye. This is something a senior Jin Dan obtained in a secret realm."
Seeing that Ji Qingling was very interested in what he was selling, the stall owner thought it would be best to fool such a little girl.
Ji Qingling's mind was not on this at all, and then he realized that he was holding a jade bead in his hand.
"Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this?"
"I think the girl is destined to this treasure, so just give me ten spiritual stones."
Ji Qingling then raised his eyes to look at him. The stall owner opposite had an expression on his face that said, "I'm selling this to you at a loss."
You are so evil-hearted. Just such a small jade bead costs ten spiritual stones. You can't feel a trace of spiritual power in your hand. I'm afraid it's just a grain that fell off a mortal woman's hairpin.
"It's too expensive, I can't afford it." Why doesn't Manager Dong come out?
The stall owner thought she was leaving, so he shouted to her loudly, "Oh, oh, girl, don't leave. I'll give you an advantage. This is really good stuff."
At this time, Steward Zhengdong came out of Changsheng Hall. She lowered her head and pretended to study it carefully.
"How about it? You take the five spiritual stones. If you want to buy anything next time, come to me."
Ji Qingling was extremely annoyed, and was afraid that if he shouted again, he would attract others' attention.
"Boss, I just have a spiritual stone. If you can sell it, I'll take it."
Thinking that this kind of broken bargaining method will make the boss quit.
"Okay, okay, take it, take it." After saying that, he thrust the jade beads into Ji Qingling's hand.
Anyway, he didn't remember where this jade bead came from. It didn't have any spiritual power. He was afraid that it fell off some mortal woman's jewelry.
…
Ji Qingling was stunned here.
Boss, please try your best to struggle, you are not following the rules.
Fortunately, if she doesn't ask for more money, the stall owner probably won't let her go today.
He reluctantly took out a spiritual stone, stuffed the jade bead into his storage bag, and turned around and entered the Hall of Immortality.
"Shopkeeper, do you have the Foundation Building Pill here?"
"Oh, unfortunately, one bottle arrived at Foundation Establishment, but it was sold early."
"Then when will it happen next time?"
"It's hard to say, and someone has already ordered it. Even if there is another bottle, it won't be enough."
"Can I even get one out of a bottle?"
"Little girl, I'm sorry, it's really not enough."
The shopkeeper looked at the little girl going out alone to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, thinking that she might be a disciple of a casual cultivator.
This Foundation Establishment Pill has always been in short supply. Experienced casual cultivators naturally know that in addition to buying a pill, you also need to buy many other things in the store, and you must be the owner of this store. patron.
Don't say that you don't have it now, even if you do, it's impossible to sell it to this little girl who doesn't know anything, and she still looks like a stranger.
I'm afraid her master's entire wealth would only be enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.
If Ji Qingling knew what the shopkeeper was thinking, he would probably give him a thumbs up.
Such professional distribution and sales skills are amazing.
And in a sense, the shopkeeper has told the truth.
All the belongings of Ji Qingling's family of four were only enough to buy one Foundation Establishment Pill.
After some negotiation, Ji Qingling confirmed that the shopkeeper meant that the Foundation Establishment Pills were reserved for regular customers.
She returned home and pulled Ji Mingyuan aside and told him about her encounter with Manager Yuudong today.
The two discussed it and decided to clarify a few things first.
First of all, did Ji He report this matter to the police?
Manager Dong still knew about this but chose to ignore it.
What are the Ji family's criteria for distributing foundation-building pills?
The two decided to split up, and Ji Qingyuan went to Ji He to test it out.
Ji Qingling went to find out how the family would distribute foundation-building pills to the clan members.
Ji Qingling left her yard, knocked on the door of the yard next door, and took out a small basket of peaches from the storage bag.
Zhou Fangping opened the courtyard door and saw the little girl next door standing at the door with a smile on her face and holding a basket of peaches.
"Hello Aunt Zhou, this is the fruit we picked when we went to the mountains to hunt monsters yesterday. It is delicious and has spiritual energy."
Ji Qingling said as he walked into the yard and placed the peach on the stone table in the yard.
"I picked a lot, so I wanted to bring some to my aunt to try. Thank you aunt for showing me the way last time."
Zhou Fangping laughed when she heard this and said: "You kid is too polite. You just pointed out the way down. Why do you need to go out of your way to thank me?"
"You want what you want."
As he spoke, he picked the biggest peach and put it in her hand, "Try it, it's delicious."
Seeing the little girl's lively look, Zhou Fangping felt soft in her heart.
She and her husband Ji Youli have been married for many years, but they have never had a child of their own, which is somewhat regrettable.
Although many people who practice Taoism are devoted to Taoism, they will never get married and have children in their lifetime.
However, the family is very supportive of having children in a cultivation family.
When the population is prosperous, there will be more children with excellent qualifications.
