Chapter 6 Misfortune does not come alone
The moonlight was beautiful, Yan Xuan was lying on the stone table under the flower tree, there were three empty wine jars in front of her, the night breeze was gentle, she didn't know how long she had been sitting here. She couldn't remember what Bai Muwei said later, it seemed that if she let her go back to Hongdao with him, he would ensure her safety and prosperity for a lifetime as the young island master, which seemed to be satisfying for mortals, but she was indifferent.
Why? Unwilling to do so? Unwilling to be framed because of his excellent appearance, unwilling to be disfigured and unable to escape the impact of the trap? Bai Muwei finally sighed and left, leaving her with an emblem. Tell her that this is a token of Luohong Island, if Wu Nianmen wants to drive her down the mountain, she can use this token to find the disciples of Luohong Island and be cared for by Luohong Island.
Yan Xuan has experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the past few days, first being framed by her sister and ruining her appearance, and then being picked up by Ji Kokou to regain her faith, and then because she accidentally ate the poisonous wine that was not given to her, she was completely damaged...... She couldn't imagine anyone in the world who could be more unlucky than her, and she fell into a deep self-loathing. I don't know how long it took, she finally fell into a deep sleep, and had a strange dream, in which a dry stream was filled with black mist, and the black mist was menacing, and soon covered the dry riverbed of the stream, and the black riverbed was staggered one by one, and gradually there was no end in sight......
Yan Xuan was in a dream when he was suddenly woken up by the noise around him. I heard a voice ask her, "You are Ji Kokou's apprentice?" She opened her eyes dimly and saw three young women dressed as disciples of the Wunian Sect, one of the three women was round and jade, quite blessed, one was petite and exquisite, and the other was tall and had a goose egg face, looking very imposing. The voice that questioned her came from the mouth of the tall woman.
The three women were all startled when they saw Yan Xuan's appearance. The petite woman among them couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm scared to death!" How did Ji Kokou find such an ugly apprentice! The tall woman glared at her and said coldly, "Yuzhu, don't forget the purpose of our visit!" ”
When the woman who was called Jade Zhu heard this, she nodded, looked at Yan Xuan with a rather contemptuous expression, and sneered: "Hey, ugly monster, from today onwards, you will honor the three of us five red spirit coins every day, do you hear?" ”
Regarding the spirit coin, Ji Kokou had already told her that day that there were five kinds of spirit coins, and the lowest grade was the red spirit coin, then the gold spirit coin, the green spirit coin, the blue spirit coin and the purple spirit coin. Among them, the blue spirit coin and the purple spirit coin belong to the high-level spirit coin, even if it is the Karakuri Pavilion, only a few pieces are produced every year, because the speed of the high-level spirit coin to restore spiritual power is not the same as the low-level spirit coin, and because of its special material, it can even be used as a fast-acting elixir to supplement spiritual power in an emergency, so the high-level spirit coin has always been priceless.
The conversion rate of the low-level spirit coin is one hundred, that is, one gold spirit coin can be exchanged for one hundred red spirit coins, but the conversion rate of the high-level spirit coin is extremely unstable, because it is too rare, sometimes one blue spirit coin can be exchanged for a thousand green spirit coins, sometimes even more.
If you become an official disciple of the Wunian Sect, you can get a monthly number of thirty Red Spirit Coins every month, and as your cultivation increases, the monthly number of coins you can receive will also increase. The foundation period is thirty, the opening period is one hundred, the fusion period is two hundred, and in the Yudan period, it is five gold spirit coins. These three people asked for five pieces a day when they opened their mouths, Yan Xuan was only a nominal disciple, and he didn't even have a monthly rule, where to get spirit coins for them?
Yan Xuan had just woken up at this time, thinking that his spiritual roots were exhausted, and his mood was already depressed, so he said with a cold expression: "Why? ”
"Why?" The slightly wealthy woman laughed as if she had heard a joke. She said: "Don't you understand the rules of newcomers?" Thirty spirit coins every month all have to honor their predecessors, my name is Zhao Miao, and she is Li Yuzhu. Then she pointed to the tall woman and said, "This is Tian Feifei." We are all monks in the Enlightenment Period, and when you see it, you should call your seniors. ”
She looked arrogant and extremely domineering, and said: "Originally, you only had to hand over the thirty monthly cases every month, but your Master Ji offended the Great Yi Sword Sect, and now the Wunian Sect has cut expenses, and the monthly cases have been reduced by almost half. If you are wronged and have a debtor, who will you ask for if you don't ask for it? ”
Yan Xuan had already understood that these three people were not good at coming, she only felt funny, and said, "I'm just a nominal disciple, where is the monthly order for you?" The three of them looked at each other suspiciously, as if they didn't expect Yan Xuan to be just a nominal disciple.
I only heard Li Yuzhu whisper to the other two: "Didn't you say yesterday that Ji Kokou brought an apprentice back from outside, it turned out to be a nominal disciple." In this way, she will definitely have no spirit coins to honor you and me. But I couldn't swallow it. Zhao Miaoxiao also nodded when she heard it, and persuaded her: "Don't be too angry, now there are many complaints up and down the Wunian Gate, Ji Kokou is in retreat, this ugly day will definitely not be easy, even if we can't take advantage of anything, she has nothing to stand on, but we don't have any spirit coins available now, and the seniors above are not easy to do." With that, he looked up at Tian Feifei. Tian Feifei glanced at them, her expression was cold and she didn't speak.
Yan Xuan sneered, only feeling that life was ridiculous, this great cultivation of the true sect actually hides dirt and dirt, and there are such people who worship high and step on low stones. She was bored and got up to leave, but saw Tian Feifei, who had not spoken, suddenly stepped forward and blocked her way.
Tian Feifei said lightly: "I heard that there are several shops under the mountain that raise spirit beasts and need to feed human blood every day, and have been recruiting blood food donors, and the wages are settled on a daily basis, and there are as many as five spirit coins a day, I see that since you have no ability, blood is always sufficient." If you go there to work, I will only accept you three spirit coins a day, and you can still drop two of them, what do you think? Yan Xuan was already furious when she heard this, and just saw the other two people whispering, this Tian Feifei was not involved, and thought that she still had some conscience, and the dog that could bite people did not bark, she was thinking about such a vicious idea in her heart.
Before she could speak, the other two women were already overjoyed, and Li Yuzhu was even more overjoyed: "Oh, Feifei, you are so smart, this is a very good idea!" It's wonderful! Then Zhao Miao must have thought so, and nodded again and again.
People in this era cherish blood very much, believing that human blood is the foundation of life, is where the essence of human beings lies, and even more so for monks, although monks cultivate spiritual veins, but spiritual veins need to be attached to the bloodline, so even if there is a lack of money, it will not be at the cost of losing essence and blood. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine why it is difficult to recruit people for such a high salary in the animal breeding shop.
Li Yuzhu saw that Yan Xuan just sneered and didn't answer, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I can't help you not go, now that Ji Kokou is in retreat, do you still expect someone to support you?" What's more, you are just a nominal disciple, if you fail to build a foundation within two years, you will be kicked out of the Wunian Sect, and you will not benefit you at all if you offend the three of us. ”
Zhao Miaoxiao threatened: "If you can't take out three spirit coins tomorrow, I'm afraid that you will destroy more than just a face by then." She said that she swept Yan Xuan's body, and her expression was very vicious. Tian Feifei has already said: "Since the rules have been told to her, we should also go." She turned her head to stare at Yan Xuan, and said lightly: "At this time tomorrow, the three of us will come again, hehe, I hope our atmosphere will be happier by then." With that, he used his sword and left, and the other two glared at Yan Xuan fiercely, and followed suit.
Yan Xuan's face was flushed in place, and his heart was extremely bitter. Xindao has no power to fight back now, and she is still a mermaid. But she woke up from yesterday's blow, and after these twists and turns, no matter how bad luck is, it will be difficult to knock her down, after all, what else is it difficult for her to bear now? What else can't be lost? After she sobered up, she began to ask herself, should she go on like this, or go to Luohong Island as Bai Muwei said to live a rich and ordinary life?
No! She quickly dismissed these two thoughts in her mind, because they were not what she wanted. She couldn't help but think of what Ji Kokou said when she met her that day: "There is no one in this world who can be relied on." Instead of looking at self-pity, it is better to think about how to live a good life. "Yes, she can't rely on Bai Muwu, no one is reliable, handing over her fate to others will inevitably be hindered everywhere, she is unwilling, she wants to resist, she wants to retaliate! She couldn't let those people get complacent. No!
Yan Xuan communicated all this, and felt that his body seemed to have regained some strength. She glanced at the "Qi Cultivation and Intensive Research" in her hand, returned to the bedroom, and thought about the Dharma taught by Ji Kokou, and began to meditate again, trying to gather qi.
Dead spirits? She didn't believe it, since God had given her the talent of spiritual veins, how could she easily take it away? If you don't have a spiritual vein, you really can't gather qi? She was not reconciled. If you don't give it a try, how can you be willing?
I don't know how long it took, when she was about to give up, she suddenly felt that the air around her seemed to fluctuate, and Yan Xuan was ecstatic in her heart, isn't this what Ji Kokou said? Feeling the aura around you is the introductory experience of practicing qi. Yan Xuan tried to guide the aura into the spiritual veins, and she trembled silently reciting the Fa decision, feeling a trace of coolness gradually gathering and condensing in her wrist veins.
However, when she touched the spiritual veins, those stagnant spiritual qi suddenly collapsed without a trace, no matter how many times she tried. Yan Xuan slowly opened his eyes and muttered, "If the true spiritual veins are destroyed." Then she was reluctant to try several more times, but she gained nothing but exhaustion.
The day passed in a series of setbacks.
On the second day, Tian Feifei and others really came. Seeing that Yan Xuan didn't have a spirit coin, Li Yuzhu took out a slender whip and beat her to the point of almost vomiting blood, and let out cruel words before leaving, if there is no spirit coin tomorrow, it will not only be physical pain, but will let her taste the bone spur of the cultivator, the legendary bone spur, such as the needle of the bone, is unbearable, it is condensed with the mental power of the cultivator, and only those who are far from the realm can do it, otherwise once the spiritual power of the person is too strong, it will backlash, so even the cultivator will not use it easily. But it is obvious that for a person like Yan Xuan, who has no foundation, this method is very reassuring.
Yan Xuan was not convinced, and stumbled to find Si Lutang to try to correct the situation, but he didn't expect that along the way, whenever he heard that she was Ji Kokou's apprentice, he was cold and cold, and he was ridiculed, and the bad one was pushed and slapped and applauded. When she arrived at the Si Lu Hall, she was only more embarrassed than when she came, the elder of the Si Lu Tang was not there, his first disciple was a male monk in the fusion period, the male cultivator saw her indifferent, and only asked her to go back to recuperate, saying that she was not a formal disciple yet, and was not within the jurisdiction of the Si Lu Tang, and if she succeeded in building the foundation, the Si Lu Tang would preside over the axioms. Yan Xuan finally understood her situation at this time, thinking that Tian Feifei and others would come to humiliate her tomorrow, she was even more disheartened, and in the midst of everyone's scolding and ridicule, she went down the mountain step by step......
Do you really want to go to the beast-breeding shop and sell blood in exchange for spirit coins? She asked herself in her mind.
