Volume 3 The Exotic Path Chapter 12 The Game of Life and Death (3)
Zhang Mingcong looked at the empty glass in his hand, tasted the residual fragrance between his lips and teeth, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
"This boss, what a loser......" Zhang Mingcong looked at the line on the menu with some regret, "Glass fruit tea - 15 yuan for a small cup; 33 yuan for a large cup" and then said without hesitation, "Boss, refill the cup, thank you." ”
A brand-new 100 yuan bill was placed on the table by Zhang Mingcong, "Change 34 yuan, thank you." ”
"You are really ......" The boss was a little speechless and accepted the red ticket and discharged a few bills at the same time, his handsome face was full of crying and laughing, "Didn't you laugh at my low price just now, why, this 100 yuan pocket money, your dignified Zhang family's eldest young master will actually have a lot of trouble with me?"
"The boss laughed, this price is set by you, how can one of my guests break the rules of your host's house at will?" Zhang Mingcong calmly picked up the second cup of "glazed fruit tea" that had already been filled, although he did not admit the boss's statement of "big young master", but he did not rush to deny anything.
Speaking of which, although Zhang Mingcong is a concubine, he is really the eldest grandson and young master of the family. And Zhang Mingcong's grandfather, the old man who is the head of the divided family also let go early, and when he disappears in the future, the position of the head of the family should also be inherited by Zhang Mingcong - although Zhang Mingcong is outstanding among his peers in the Zhang family, others are unmatched, but the inheritance of the Heavenly Master has always been the most important bloodline, no matter how strong Zhang Mingcong's strength is, his identity alone has already doomed him to the position of Heavenly Master in this life.
Of course, these elders didn't know what they didn't know, but they didn't tell Zhang Mingcong - or rather, the rules of the Heavenly Master's Mansion have always been the most outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of this generation, Zhang Mingcong has no reason not to know, he is just unwilling and does not admit defeat, and still leaves a trace of hope for a miracle in his heart.
But putting this aside, although the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where Zhang Mingcong is located is built in the mountains, it is not a barbaric mountain village in the middle of nowhere.
After all, although they are a branch of the family, the blood of the Heavenly Master is thin, and the exercises and resources are far inferior to the orthodox Heavenly Master Sect, but in the end, they are still stronger than mortals who have no supernatural powers at all.
In the final analysis, they can also be regarded as serious Fu Zheng Sect Fire Dwelling Taoists, although they are not as proficient in pharmacology as the Danding Sect, but they can still draw talismans to ward off evil spirits and solve disasters. In this world, there are countless mortals, and there are always some "upper-class people" who are rich in assets and are afraid of dying or hobby hunting. So if you put aside the daily practice and exorcism of demons, his life on weekdays is really no different from that of a wealthy son in an idol romance drama.
But then again, no matter how rich he is, it can't change the fact that they are all in the same line. No matter how much money there is in the mortal world, it can't compare to a small lowest-level spirit crystal in the cultivation realm.
That's why he was shocked by the value of this boss.
Not to mention anything else, but as far as this cup of glazed fruit tea is concerned, its value is enough to bankrupt a billionaire in the mortal world.
Glazed fruit, also known as Shoushan cloud fruit, is no different from cherry in size but crystal clear like glaze, so it is named glazed fruit. But because it grows in the mountains that are cloudy and misty all the year round, and its skin is covered with the word "mountain" lines, it is also called Shoushan cloud fruit.
This fruit has extremely harsh requirements for the growing environment, and the growth cycle is extremely long. The ballad of the Xiuzhen world says: "Wujiazi, congenital calamity, Jindan does not become a glass knot." "One Jiazi is sixty years, and five Jiazi is three hundred years. Generally speaking, if calculated according to the standards of the Danding School, the average lifespan of an Innate Realm monk who cultivates the acquired qi in his body to the innate true element, that is, "Qi", is three hundred years old. If you can't form a golden pill, then once the three-hundred-year-old limit arrives, the monks of the innate realm will return to the underworld. And the meaning of this ballad is to say that it takes three hundred years for a glazed fruit to ripen.
If so, it's okay, but the glass-like peel and flesh of this fruit are all highly poisonous, and only the juice is a great tonic for this fruit. The juice squeezed out of this highly poisonous thing is actually a tonic, and the existence of such a thing is magical enough. Of course, if anyone squeezes out the juice and sends it to their mouth, then congratulations, this person's life is basically explained.
The juice of this fruit actually has to be condensed into solid particles by using the Samadhi True Fire of the Waidan (alchemy) technique, and it can only be used after the juice of the ten glazed fruits is frantically merged and refined into solid particles - note, it must be every drop of juice of the ten "complete" glazed fruits, even if one of the fruits loses a drop in the refining process, the particles after refining are enough to send the old monster back to the West!
With such a strict outer Dan technique, in addition to the Kunlun sect known as the "Immortal Dao Ancestral Land" and "Xuanmen Authenticity", there is only Laojunya in this era of the end of the law. However, it is a pity that in addition to the more than 100 seedlings that have not yet grown in Kunlun Mountain, only the god pesticide Wang Gu is cultivating. In other words, in addition to Kunlun, if other sects want to seek Laojun Cliff refining, they must provide raw materials, and although the Medicine King Valley is known as the "Botanical Garden of the Xiuzhen Realm", it only retains three glazed fruit seedlings that are about a hundred years old, how can they be sold as raw materials?
Such a glass fruit tea, which is difficult to measure in terms of money, is now bought as an ordinary drink, and a large cup of three finished solid glass juice granules is also provided!!!!
Reminiscent of glazed fruit tea is not the most precious dish, this ...... The boss's behavior is no longer a loser to describe.
………………
Asgard, the main temple.
"Tut-tut......" Sun Wukong looked at Yang Jian, who was fiddling with his mobile phone in front of him, and said a little jokingly, "The famous sage Merlin is doing so much for you, hey, if the self-cultivating god boy who regards Merlin as a mentor sees it, he will probably be crazy with jealousy!!"
"Not good!" Yang Jian, who was looking at the mobile phone screen, suddenly exclaimed.
On the screen of Yang Jian's mobile phone, there is a hologram of Asgard, and above it, there are all kinds of points of light—that is where each of them is now. The color of the light point represents their current condition.
And in the next moment, in the main hall of Asgard, the point of light representing Yang Jian and the others disappeared.

Note (1): A Taoist priest who lives in the fire, a Taoist priest with a family wife and children who eats other people's fireworks. Huoju Taoist priests mostly point to Taoist people in one day. The Heavenly Master does not prohibit people from marrying, and since Zhang Daoling, the Heavenly Master of all dynasties has inherited the legal system as a relative.
Yu Ruji of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the "Manuscript of the Ministry of Rites: The Prohibition of the Monk's Dao" in the official revision of the first year of Taichang: "The monks in Hongwu do not practice the ancestral style, and the laymen who practice the yoga method and call the fire dwelling Taoist priests are strictly prohibited. ”
