"The four people in the same courtyard as Xu Hu are all boys from a family that cultivates immortality. Xu Hu has no background and doesn't know how to restrain himself. If those four people don't get along, they will be scolded by the family."
"So, I suspect that Xu Hu was harmed by them. He is the son of an Orion. He can't understand whether there is anything wrong with the technique anyway. It would be easy for those few to do anything."
"How come you can't call it that? My family has been servants of the Lu family for generations, and we have seen too many insidious and terrifying things like this! It is not uncommon for people to die for a pill, not to mention Xu Hu's dazzling light, under him It’s hard for others to get ahead.”
Jiang Yuebai was confused, her mind was filled with Lu Ying's voice, and she was wandering around the small courtyard without knowing where to go. As soon as she crossed the courtyard gate, she fell to the ground.
She sat on the ground, unable to stop being scared.
Just imagine, if it were her, let alone what others would do to her, even Lin Suiwan would not let her go.
Back in the Lin Mansion, because she was praised by her wife for secretly learning calligraphy, Lin Suiwan directly had her sold.
In the mortal world, Lin Suiwan could sell her with the Lin Mansion's backing. Here, Lin Suiwan could kill her directly with the alchemy elder Lin Xiangtian's backing.
Jiang Yuebai was lucky that her grandfather stopped her that day.
After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Tao Fengnian came back from outside and sighed when he saw her.
"Get up and go wash the rice."
Tao Fengnian put his hoe in the corner and took off his bamboo hat to fan himself.
"Grandpa, do you... know?" Jiang Yuebai asked in a trembling voice.
Tao Fengnian hung up his bamboo hat and said, "This kind of thing is not new."
"Grandpa, I still don't understand. Xu Hu didn't harm anyone else, so why can't he work hard on his own to practice?"
Tao Fengnian pulled Jiang Yuebai up from the ground, squatted down and used the dust purification technique to sweep away the dust on her body.
"In this world, others can see you in embarrassment, can stand on a high place to pity you, and give you alms, but they cannot see that you have others. Even a little more will arouse jealousy."
"Children who grow up in a Xiuxian family have been fighting each other since childhood. If they fall behind, they will lose the family's resources and be ignored. Most of all, they cannot tolerate others being better than themselves, especially those from a humble background."
"But we can't generalize. There are all kinds of people in the world, and there are thousands of human natures. There are also people who are the most true and good. You will have more experience in the future and you will be able to learn to distinguish them. For now, just remember that the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and you can't be defensive. No poop is good.”
Jiang Yuebai's whole body tensed up, "Then I have to hide it all my life? I feel depressed and uncomfortable!"
Jiang Yuebai felt that Tao Fengnian was wrong. She only knew that if she didn't fight, she would have died last winter. If she didn't fight, she would have been a young oriole in the kiln. If she didn't fight, how could she step into the fairy gate?
Tao Fengnian rubbed Jiang Yuebai's head and said warmly, "If you want to fight, you must live first. I am asking you to endure and hide now because you can't protect yourself, and I have not asked you to stop practicing."
"As long as you are willing to learn, when you have enough strength, you will no longer need to hide. Just like Lu Xingyun, the founder of Tianyan Sect, before she formed the elixir, no one knew her name, but after she formed the elixir, she became famous all over the world."
Jiang Yuebai clenched his fists and thought, the light in his eyes gradually shining.
"I want to learn, I want to practice, and I want no one to dare to bully me or harm me."
Tao Fengnian nodded with satisfaction, "Didn't you ask me last time what a spiritual cultivator is? Eat first. When you're full, grandpa will teach you."
"Um!"
At sunset and dusk, an old man and a young man were sitting in the courtyard. Tao Fengnian was smoking a cigarette and pushing a jade talisman in front of Jiang Yuebai.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Yuebai cut his finger with a knife and dripped blood on the jade talisman.
After the contract was concluded, Tao Fengnian put away the jade talisman.
According to the rules of the Tianyan Sect, the sect's martial arts and Taoism are not allowed to be taught in private, but Ling Gengfu is responsible for the rations and elixirs of the sect's hundreds of thousands of disciples.
In order to ensure that there are enough spiritual cultivators, all spiritual cultivators can bring apprentices, teach them skills and planting spells, and receive considerable rewards.
The apprenticeship lasts for three years, with no salary or contribution points. There is no need to complete sect tasks, but there is no income. You have to follow orders and help farm the land.
After three years of service, you can rent the spiritual field yourself, keep 30% of the harvest for yourself every year, and turn over the rest.
Compared with other handymen's jobs, spiritual cultivators are free. As long as they work hard, they will be rewarded. It has always been the most popular profession in the sect. Even if you want to be an apprentice, you must have a way.
There is only one word difference between a spiritual cultivator and a spiritual cultivator, but their essences are thousands of miles apart.
Anyone who can farm is called a spiritual cultivator, but a spiritual cultivator must master three planting spells and reach the fourth level to ensure that the output of the spiritual field is maximized.
Once you pass the assessment, you can get a special token and your status is equivalent to that of an outer disciple.
Not only is the spiritual field rental fee waived, but you can also receive a monthly stipend and get three opportunities to redeem exercises and Taoism in the library.
There are nearly 10,000 spiritual cultivators in Tianyan Sect, but there are only thirty-six spiritual cultivators. Each one of them is a master of cultivation and is in charge of at least one grain. The yield and quality of both spiritual grains and elixirs are of high quality, and they are favored by the sect and various communities. Elder Lu Liandan thought highly of him.
Tao Fengnian is the only spiritual cultivator in the Huaxi Valley. In his early years, he planted elixirs and led more than a hundred spiritual cultivators in the Huaxi Valley. In recent years, due to lack of mental strength, he only planted a hundred acres of spiritual cultivators and was too lazy to control other spiritual cultivators.
As the smoke filled the air, Tao Fengnian slowly explained various common sense to Jiang Yuebai.
"Hong Tao sent you to me because he naturally hopes that you can become a spiritual cultivator instead of an ordinary spiritual cultivator. To become a spiritual cultivator, you must have three or more spiritual roots."
"Each spiritual root contains different spiritual energy attributes, and corresponding exercises are required to mobilize the corresponding spiritual energy. Therefore, the more spiritual roots, the more exercises are required."
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, "Then don't my five spiritual roots need five skills?"
Tao Fengnian nodded, Jiang Yuebai was dumbfounded.
"Then...is the technique expensive?"
"In the world of cultivating immortals, whether they are martial arts, pills or magic weapons, they are all from ninth grade to first grade from low to high. When the handyman disciples enter the first level of Qi training, they have a chance to redeem the ninth grade martial arts, and then they have to redeem it with contribution points. "
"The worst ninth-grade technique requires 100 contribution points, which is equivalent to 100 low-grade spiritual stones and 1,000 kilograms of spiritual rice. A D-level sect task in the Internal Affairs Hall can only contribute 10 points at most."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes widened, and now he had a vague idea of prices in the world of cultivation.
A piece of low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for ten kilograms of spiritual rice. She has to eat about four taels a day these days, and ten kilograms of spiritual rice is not enough for her to eat for a month.
It takes one thousand kilograms to exchange for a skill. Her five spiritual roots require five thousand kilograms of spiritual rice. How many years will it take to save it?
Her total wealth now only amounts to ten low-grade spiritual stones and five Qi-entraining pills.
Jiang Yuebai lowered his head in shame, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't know spiritual rice was so expensive. I will eat less in the future and work more..."
Tao Fengnian smashed his cigarette pole and laughed, "I am a spiritual cultivator. If I can't even support a little girl like you, wouldn't it be a joke? You don't have to worry about the skills. You are my apprentice. I will naturally know it. Teach you."
After saying that, Tao Fengnian handed Jiang Yuebai a piece of palm-sized, octagonal jade.
"This is the eighth-level skill "Geng Jin Gong". After you pass the entry stage, you can use this skill to improve your cultivation and start learning one of the five spiritual farming spells, the 'Edge Technique', which is mainly used to eliminate insects from spiritual plants. .”
"In addition, there are some basic spells in the jade slips, such as the dust-purifying technique, the wind scroll technique, the object-controlling technique, etc. You can read more about it and practice it yourself."
"Multiple spiritual root monks usually specialize in one spiritual root in the early stages of their cultivation. They first improve their cultivation and learn the corresponding spells. Later in the Qi training period, they can supplement the cultivation of other spiritual roots and then build the foundation."
"You first learn this Jin Xing Kung Fu. If you can reach the first level of "Geng Jin Gong" and Sharpness Technique within one month, I will teach you the water attribute Kung Fu "Guishui Kung Fu" and what you want. Learn the Yunyu Jue."
After Tao Fengnian finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. It took him three months to break through to the first level of skills and techniques, but now he actually asked this little girl to do it in one month.
But inexplicably, he just felt that she could do it, and even did it in advance.
Jiang Yuebai was ignorant and fearless. He nodded hurriedly and looked through the jade slip curiously.
"Put the jade slip between your eyebrows and use the method of sensing spiritual energy. From now on, you can practice "Geng Jin Gong" in the morning and at night. After breakfast, read the Taoist Scriptures and learn Chinese characters with me for an hour, and at dusk, you can recognize the acupuncture points and pulse for an hour."
"I will teach you the low-grade martial arts "Star Chasing Step" and "Wood Chopping Knife Technique". You can defend yourself before you master the magic. I usually go to work in the fields, and you can arrange your own practice. Now I will show you the route and practice of the martial arts first. Qi method..."
