In the north of Tongtianfang, the lower courtyard of Jilong Road is located.
Chen Mu carried one hundred and sixteen white jade coins in his arms and came to the Sutra Academy with his head held high.
The courtyard is wide, surrounded by a green-tiled corridor and three white walls with black tiles and small hollow windows.
There is no wall on the west side, and below it is a cliff more than ten meters high, standing next to the Tongtian River.
A huge three-story octagonal wooden building stands in the middle of the courtyard.
Chen Mu stood under the wooden building, turned his head and looked at the endless river, and felt relieved unconsciously.
In the past, in Daliang, money could not buy secret techniques. But in Jilong Road, as long as you spend money, you can practice secret techniques.
Looking up at the three-story wooden building and feeling the heavy white jade coins in his arms, Chen Mu couldn't help but get excited.
At this moment, Chen Mu looked at the wooden building of the Confucian School and felt like he was looking at a big golden egg with golden light!
"If you can learn all the secrets of the Sutra School..." Chen Mu's eyes lit up and he strode into the wooden building.
…
"A white jade coin."
Behind the counter at the door, an old man in his fifties with gray hair and a face as rosy and smooth as a baby spoke softly.
Chen Mu, who had just entered the door, couldn't help but be confused.
What does it mean?
The old man glanced at Chen Mu: "New here?"
"Reading scriptures in the Sutra Academy, one hour, one white jade coin."
"Oh oh..." Chen Mu hurriedly took out the money.
Does this seminary still charge fees on time? It is worthy of being an important place for teaching scriptures, and it is exquisite!
Chen Mu is looking forward to the secret method inside.
"The unity of spirit and soul is on the first floor."
"The sensing aura is on the second floor."
"First go and choose the secret scriptures, and then come to me to get the jade slip of the true meaning."
The old man put away the white jade money and spoke skillfully and calmly.
Chen Mu cupped his hands and thanked him, and happily walked into the lobby on the first floor.
…
The hall is octagonal and connected by a corridor around it.
The middle is open and transparent, and you can see the top of the wooden building when you look up.
There is a transparent crystal orb inlaid there, which always projects natural light like skylight downwards.
Chen Mu came to a bookshelf, and a brown wooden board hung next to it.
"The secret of unity?"
Chen Mu became interested and walked over to watch.
At a glance, I saw the scriptures belonging to Bai Yang's True Interpretation.
There is also a thin wooden label hanging on the scroll, with two lines of words arranged vertically on it - Baiyang Zhenjie, Sixty White Jade.
Turning to look at the rows of labeled scriptures on the bookshelf, Chen Mu looked strange.
"Why do you feel like you're in a supermarket in your previous life?"
Soon he became excited, this was a secret method, and there were so many options for him to choose from. He couldn't wait to vacate this place!
Putting down the Baiyang True Interpretation, he picked up a scripture next to him, grabbed the wooden sign label and took a look - Three Yuan Secret Seal, One Hundred and Twenty White Jade.
Chen Mu: "..."
So expensive!
He read several scriptures in a row and found that except for Bai Yang's true solution to the secret of the unity of soul and soul, there was no one with less than eighty white jade coins!
"If it weren't for the slow speed of Baiyang Zhenjie's cultivation, I probably wouldn't have needed only sixty white jade coins." Chen Mu couldn't help scratching his head: "Fortunately, I can gain experience."
"The secret method of unity is fundamental. If it is not expensive, it will be abnormal." Chen Mu understood.
…
He browsed around the corridors of the hall.
It was discovered that in addition to secret techniques, there are also a large number of scriptures and books related to planting.
After all, this is the lower courtyard of Jilong Road, a base for growing yellow bud rice and various medicinal materials. It is natural that there are such books.
Not long after wandering around, Chen Mu went to see the secret method of jade seeds.
Pulling out a book of secret techniques of jade seeds on the outermost side, Chen Mu first looked at the label on the wood chip - the technique of containing sand, sixty white jade.
Chen Mu: "..."
"The secret technique of jade seeds must have good and bad qualities. The good ones will naturally be more expensive."
Chen Mu put down the Shaman Technique and pulled out another sutra scroll - Qingyao Thousand Silk Technique, One Hundred White Jade.
He did not believe in evil and took out a scroll again - the art of pulling machines, one hundred and sixty white jade.
Chen Mu: "..."
How could it be so expensive? !
He checked the selection over and over again, and finally discovered that the cheapest one was the sand-containing technique.
Chen Mu looked helplessly at the bookshelves full of scriptures.
The secret method is right in front of him, but he can't afford anything better!
…
After struggling for a long time, Chen Mu could only come to the door with a book of sand-containing techniques.
"Sand-holding technique?" The gray-haired old man glanced at Chen Mu and said calmly: "Sixty white jade coins."
Chen Mu touched the white jade money in his arms and said cautiously: "Can it be cheaper?"
The gray-haired old man's eyes couldn't help but widen.
Bargaining at the missionary?
He looked at Chen Mu with emotion: "You are still the first person to bargain here, you are so brave."
"Can it be cheaper?" Chen Mu looked happy.
"No!" The gray-haired old man glared at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu looked around and found no one around, so he cautiously approached the counter.
"In this way, you record forty white jade coins in your account, but I will give you fifty." Chen Mu whispered: "I can save, and you can also make money."
The gray-haired old man looked at Chen Mu in disbelief.
"roll!"
…
After a long while, Chen Mu left the Sutra Academy with empty hands and a look of helplessness.
Even the worst copywriting technique can reduce his assets by half.
To learn all the secret techniques is simply more difficult than reaching the sky. He is not afraid of hard training, but he is afraid of not having money!
Looking back at the three-story wooden building. This is not a big luminous golden egg. This is a black hole that swallows white jade money. It can’t be filled no matter what!
"This is just to buy the secret book."
"I want to hire someone to teach me later."
"It's hard to save some money, but in the end it has to be handed over to the lower courtyard of Jilong Road!"
…
Low mountain courtyard.
After cleaning up the rice field with yellow buds, Chen Mu sat at the mouth of the well to practice.
Recite the mantra quietly in your mouth and practice it for half an hour.
During a break while drinking tea, Chen Mu looked at the Dingshen pills dried under the wooden shed and calculated how much money he could make.
But as he continued to calculate, Chen Mu couldn't help but look ugly.
This is the third day after returning from the seminary.
Thinking about the expensive secret scriptures, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
To buy secret books, you have to pay money to the House of Commons.
You also have to pay money to the House of Commons for attending classes and asking for advice.
The shops in Tongtianfang all belong to the House of Commons, and regardless of the business, it is the House of Commons that makes the money.
Even if I can sell Dingshen Pills, but... no matter how much I make, I have to give it to the lower courtyard of Jilong Road!
"Exploitation at every level is trying to drain our lower court disciples dry!" Chen Mu was full of grief and indignation.
When he preached in the Seminary before, he thought the lower courtyard of Chicken Coop Road was good. He would actually give free lectures and teachings to these disciples.
Now he finally figured it out. That was a trial class. It’s still a trial class full of tempting sugar coating.
If I explain the cultivation process clearly to you, can you not buy the secret method or ask for advice on cultivation experience?
The School of Sutras holds the secret method and controls the teachers. If the disciples of the Lower School want to go further, they can only obediently give them money.
"I have been working for you for free for twenty years, and you still want to continue to squeeze me dry?" Chen Mu felt aggrieved.
For three days in a row, he seemed helpless in everything he did.
"I practice honestly. I spend money to buy secret techniques and ask for advice on how to practice."
"But you are bumping into each other step by step. You don't want to preach and teach, you just want to raise the price and cheat me out of my money!"
"Okay! Very good! You forced me to do this!"
Chen Mu's face was full of grief and anger, and his hands were filled with black smoke.
puff!
Seven or eight secret scriptures appeared.
These are all supplementary scriptures of the Jade Seed Secret Technique.
It was he who asked Shang Huan to collect them, and it only cost him three white jade coins.
He has a proficiency plug-in, and as long as he has the supplementary book, he can practice!
Chen Mu glared fiercely in the direction of Tongtianfang.
"Preaching School?"
"snort!"
"Don't even think about taking a penny from me!"
