The Mu family has been beaming lately.

From "The sect sent people to select talented branch children to the sect family to cultivate!" I heard that in five years, this batch of children is very likely to be selected into the Qianyun Sect, and even become inner disciples! "To" If you are selected by the Zong family this time, you will definitely be able to enter the inner gate of the Qianyun Sect in the future! ”…… In the past two days, all kinds of rumors have been rampant, and the more outrageous they are, but two things are certain, one is that only talented people can be chosen! A guy with no talent can only bite the horns and cry by himself; Second, there are great benefits to being selected! The Qianyun Sect also has hope!

To say that this Yucheng family is flourishing and has many children, but there are not many spiritual roots and talents.

The first to bear the brunt are the sons and daughters of the head of the house. The concubine Mu Qingyuan, who is ten years old and has ten layers of qi refining; Sister-in-law Mu An, fifteen years old, is at the sixth level of qi refining.

Coupled with the children of Mu Chongyun's younger brothers and uncles, there are only eight more talented people, and the highest cultivation level is only the seventh level of qi refining.

Mu Wuzhong was disappointed. If there are more good seedlings, his credit will definitely be greater! If it weren't for hearing about Mu Qingyuan's talent, he wouldn't have been tired of taking this errand to himself.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it, and he began to calculate how to make a fortune.

And what he didn't know was that while he was trying to calculate others, someone was also counting him.

When Ji Hongxiang learned the news, she knew that the opportunity had come.

She leaned against a begonia tree in the corner of the courtyard and closed her eyes in thought.

The begonias are fragrant and fragrant, and the faint fragrance of flowers lingers around the nose.

But Ji Hong's mind is very sober.

She always remembered that if she wanted to change her cultivation physique, there were only two ways, one was to build a foundation naturally, and the other was to take the Sanpin Yi Marrow Pill.

Building a foundation? With her qualifications, it was impossible to enter the middle stage of Qi refining, so only using Yi Marrow Pill was the best way.

The elixir is a strange thing that is refined by an alchemist. Its effects are also strange, some can cut the marrow of the Yi Jing, some can replenish qi and blood, some can resist a hundred poisons, and the most sought-after is the elixir that can directly improve cultivation.

According to the level of alchemist alchemy and the different materials, the elixir practiced is naturally divided into different grades according to its degree of magic and cherishment.

The most precious thing about the Mu family in charge of Mu Chongyun is the two second-grade foundation building pills, one of which he used when building the foundation himself, and there is still one that is regarded as a treasure and has never been seen by others. The four-grade pill that Ji Hongmakeup needs is like a legendary existence for people who grew up in a small place like Yucheng since childhood, after all, the first to third grades are the foundation building pills, and the alchemists in the foundation building period can refine them, and the pills above the fourth grade can only be refined by the power of the Jindan period, which is extremely precious. Such an elixir, presumably the Zong family will have it no matter what.

A pale pink petal swirled and fell from in front of him, Ji Hongxiang squinted his eyes and thought, no matter what, it is impossible to have a four-grade pill in Yucheng, why don't you go to the capital where the Zong family is located to try it and strive for a glimmer of opportunity.

She looked around, saw that there was no one around, and took off her storage bag.

A quick inventory of the spirit stones he had saved over the years.

There are a total of 503 low-grade spirit stones, and two medium-grade spirit stones - this is still secretly stuffed to her by Zhenniang.

What a poverty! She smacked her lips. The white silk in Mu Qingyuan's hand alone was probably worth five or six hundred spirit stones, and when she thought about it, she couldn't wait to snatch the valuable thing immediately.

Just as she was sighing, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, she hurriedly stuffed the storage bag into her clothes, and asked aloud: "Chunxi, what's wrong?" ”

The hurried one was a blue-clothed maid, she was a little anxious between her eyebrows, and when she saw Ji Hong's makeup, she immediately hated Tie Chenggang and said: "Red makeup!" How did you hide here! Everyone is busy trying to win over Steward Xu! ”

She was almost dragged away by Chunxi: "What's the matter? ”

Chun Xi said, "Originally, the selection of the sect family has nothing to do with us like this," she showed a look to the red makeup that you and I both understand, "But you also know that those young masters and young ladies in our Mu Mansion are very noble, and this one-month journey to the capital, there is no one around to serve them!" I heard Ah Gui say that Elder Namu originally intended to let them sharpen and endure hardships in advance, but he couldn't stand the hard work of his parents—aren't they all sore eyes at home! She said with a little sarcasm, Chunxi is different from the simple and humble Dong'er, she has eaten too much bitterness but has a high spirit, and in her heart, she can't look down on so delicate young ladies and young masters, and feels that they are useless and have wasted such a good life.

"--So, Elder Mu finally gave up, and twenty lower-grade spirit stones were allowed to bring a servant!"

Ji Hongmakeup blurted out: "This is too dark!" Will anyone agree? ”

Chunxi rolled her eyes: "If you want to say too much, you naturally can't afford it, but only one or two servants and maids are more than enough, and-" She covered her mouth and snickered, "Later, after the eldest lord heard about it, he directly waved his hand, and each person could bring two servants and maids, and the expenses were all paid by the public." Now everyone knows that there are definitely not many places, and now they are all trying to please Steward Xu! ”

Ji Hongxiang was a little puzzled: "What's the use of pleasing him?" It's serious to please those young masters and young ladies, right? ”

Chun Xi said: "Those young masters and young ladies have their own close maids and personal servants, where can we get our turn?" Only those concubines and concubines who are a little less talented and not valued, if they can be sent to serve them and curry favor with them in these two days, when they are selected and taken away, there are only two servants and maids by their side, and they can't rely on these two when they arrive at the sect family? As she said this, her steps slowed down, and a pair of narrow apricot eyes squinted at the red flags hanging in the corridor in the distance, and the festive red color rippled into a strange brilliance in her eyes, and she murmured, "...... At that time, it will be the real skyrocket......"

Ji Hongxiang can't understand the vision of Chunxi, a third-class slave and maid, climbing to the big girl, she has the freedom and self-esteem that modern people advocate in her bones. She didn't answer, and followed Chunxi through the courtyard, walked through the west corridor, and came to the backyard where the second- and third-class maids and maids gathered.

"Steward Xu, this is my ancestral white jade, but it has a history of hundreds of years! Long-term wear can also make people live longer! ”

"Go, go, go! What an ancestral white jade, I saw yesterday that you just bought it from the store! Steward Xu, this is the peerless secret medicine I brought from my hometown, health preservation, health care, and most importantly, to ensure that you can still be fierce when you are old! My father used this recipe, and he got such a kid as me on his 70th birthday! ”

"Brother Xu! The two sisters didn't get anything out of the ordinary, except for an elixir. Back then, my grandfather died just to dig up this elixir, and then there was a monk in the foundation building period who wanted to buy it, but our father was not willing to sell it! I'm here to honor you today! ”

……

The corners of Ji Hongxiang's mouth twitched, listening to this one by one as if it was a pyramid scheme, and she was a little speechless.

As for the "elixir that the monk in the foundation building period wants to buy", Ji Hongxiang took a closer look, oh, what a big Ganoderma lucidum!

The crown of the sesame is obliquely cracked, revealing a gap, and the edge of the crown is covered with fine purple spores, and the body of the sesame is even more strangely shaped, giving birth to four or five deformed sacs, like a peculiar animal. All in all, in addition to the rare size, it is a very poor quality Ganoderma lucidum.

Steward Xu seemed to be a little interested, took the Ganoderma lucidum, looked up and down, and was surprised: "Such a big size, Rao is a well-informed person, and I have never seen it, I am afraid that it is thousands of years!" It's a pity, it's a pity, the crown of this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is cracked, the shape of the sesame body is not good, and the quality is extremely poor, even the most honest pawnshop in the city will not give a price of more than 100 low-grade spirit stones. ”

Hearing what he said, the two similar-looking maids were anxious: "Brother Xu! Take a good look at it! This is no ordinary Ganoderma lucidum! It's a panacea! The elixir that even the foundation building monks need! ”

Xu Zhen sneered: "Of course I know that this is an elixir, otherwise it wouldn't even be worth 50 spirit stones!" Of course, he knew that the elixir worth a hundred spirit stones was no longer available for a person of his class, and his monthly salary in the Mu family was only 20 spirit stones. It's just that he is greedy by nature, and he knows that this is a rare opportunity to squeeze, and he will not easily lower the price until the last moment.

The older maid bit her lip, put away the lingzhi, and took out a piece of jade with good texture from her arms, with a faint aura attached to it: "This is the jade that my ancestors got by chance, and there is a simple formation carved in the jade, which has a certain nourishing effect on people's spiritual qi." Brother Xu, although the formation in this piece of jade is simple, there is no need for me to say more about the preciousness, if you can help our sisters to be selected in the end, I will give this jade to you as a goose! ”

Hearing the word "formation", Xu Zhen's pair of hanging triangular eyes lit up suddenly, and the surrounding maids also made a low gasp.

Even Ji Hongxiang couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Ruyan who was talking. There was a piece of white jade lying quietly in the palm of her hand, the jade surface was smooth and smooth, and the mysterious runes outlined by gold wire were hidden under the surface, faintly sufficient, not real, but adding a mystery.

Formation!

That's hard to find! Even the most rudimentary formation is rare for ordinary people to see.

But anyone who can depict the formation is all a dragon and a phoenix among people!

The number of Terran monks is huge, and there are even more capable people like carp crossing the river, however, those who can master the formation are indeed rare, and just hearing about it makes people feel awe-inspiring! Because of cultivation, you can grow and make up for it through hard cultivation and wonderful adventures, but the talent for studying formations is indeed innate, and others envy it.

And often, the ability of a formation genius is closely related to his talent, and the higher the talent, the stronger the ability. If you don't have talent, your ability will stagnate, and you can't force it at all.

When Ji Hongxiang heard about it for the first time, she sighed sincerely: "This is the real 'genius'!" If the sky wants you to become a talent, you can be peerless, and if the sky wants you to waste firewood, you can only be down! ”
