159 Development [2nd Update]
Nuomi was busy dealing with the orders that Xiao Jingyan brought back. Those lists were a little urgent, Xiao Jingyan assured the monks of the speed outside, and then he also urged the glutinous rice again, and asked the glutinous rice to open the furnace quickly.
But no matter how fast she is, she still has to be busy with the affairs of Lingtian outside during the day. After watering all the spiritual fields she is responsible for, she can only open another furnace of Dan when she turns around. If you want more, it's a bit unrealistic at all. When she was on Qingquan Peak before, although she was able to open three furnaces in a day, she was very well prepared.
If she still wants to do this now, she must first prepare a large pot of spirit wine for her to replenish her depleted spiritual energy. In this miscellaneous mansion, the price of a good spirit wine is almost equivalent to a furnace of elixir, but it is not a good deal at all.
Although glutinous rice can produce some blades of grass in her body, since the cold vine has grown into a dense small forest in her body, the growth rate of those small seedlings has slowed down. She has been refining the furnace all the way recently, and she has used up all the time during the day, and only a little time at night can be used to cultivate. The aura outside this miscellaneous servant's mansion is really thin, and the small black ball is now even more lighter than its original color.
In addition to the lack of aura, her time is also insufficient. I'm stuck every day, and I'm too busy to get busy.
She spent a lot of time opening the furnace for Xiao Jingyan, so naturally she couldn't squeeze out time to deal with Ye Fan's work. Although Ye Fan also sent her immortal medicine, she could only delay it again and again. Thanks to Ye Fan, she was not in a hurry, she kept Mu Kui in the room, and even changed the clothes on her body, and Ye Fan had no way of knowing that she was secretly opening the furnace for others in the miscellaneous servant's mansion.
This is the first time she has put Ye Fan's matter behind other things, and she always felt a little apprehensive at the beginning, but when she looked back and thought about Ye Fan's attitude, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
She always felt that she would always just follow Ye Fan, and Ye Fan would probably never look back at her again. Since she wanted to chase Ye Fan's side, she had to improve her cultivation and ability first. The spirit stone held in this hand is probably a kind of ability. A monk who has a large number of spirit stones and can keep the spirit stones, even if he is just a casual cultivator, no one dares to despise him.
When she thought of Senior Brother Zhuzi in her spare time, she could only urge herself to work hard. In her current situation, only with a large number of spirit stones in her hands can she be considered a little safeguarded. In the future, I just want to go back, and I have a little hope.
She would sometimes ask Xiao Jingyan what Xiao Jingyan would do if the Tieshengmen really overthrew the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect and rearranged it again. Xiao Jingyan smiled every time, reached out and pinched her face, and said, "What should I do?" The immortal cultivation sects in the world are all the same. It's a small sect with only a dozen or so people, maybe it can be a little more united. This kind of big faction, don't think about what kind of collective there can be, but it's all about how to pull benefits from yourself. It's really not good, and it's okay to go out from here, but it's just to be a casual cultivator and be at ease, and there's nothing wrong with it. ”
"It's hard to be a casual cultivator." Nuomi whispered, "And it's not safe to be alone outside." ”
"No matter how unsafe it is, it's not unsafe in the sect. How many good places do you think there are in this sect? It's just a calm on the surface. This miscellaneous servant's mansion is not bad, but if Tieshengmen really stretches out his hand, I'd better go and be a casual cultivator. In this world, it is not only the disciples in the sect who can survive. I've heard from former monks that there are towns outside that are dedicated to casual living, but they are not in the territory of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom. From this way to the east, you will always get there, where you need to think so much. ”
Nuomi bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, but she still didn't think it through, she originally wanted to hear Xiao Jingyan's opinion, and felt that she could probably get a little bit from him. But when she really finished listening to Xiao Jingyan's words, she felt even more confused.
Loose cultivation, that was a day she never thought about.
She had tried so hard to get into this sect because she was a little frightened by the days she was wandering outside. There was not a moment in those days when there was no need to be afraid. Even if she can occasionally have a chance to eat a full stomach, she has to worry about how to solve it in the next few days, and there is never a time for stability.
Inside this mountain gate, no matter how many people are behind her back, she at least doesn't have to worry about starving to death for the next meal, which is completely different from her life outside. Being able to eat and dress warmly is already a very happy thing in the eyes of young glutinous rice.
She could calmly accept being sent to this miscellaneous servant's mansion from the top of the mountain gate, precisely because she would rather be sent to such a desolate area than return to her former exile.
is to talk to herself a lot, saying that she is now completely different from before, and she no longer has to worry about survival, but she still secretly remembers the most difficult years in the corner of her heart.
If she goes outside to be a scattered immortal now, what kind of life can she live? She is indeed a person who can open a furnace for alchemy, but her level is not high, and now she is only the third layer of the enlightenment period, and if she is thrown into the immortal cultivation world, she is just a little girl who has just stepped into the threshold of cultivation. Her martial arts skills are not outstanding, and there are almost no immortal skills that she can master, even if there is a fifth-order cloud dew technique that sounds very useful, it is far from enough for her to save her life.
Whether it's alchemy or Yun Lu Jue, all of these going outside will only become the reason why she is bullied and oppressed, and it can't make her guarantee her survival.
She was too weak to survive if she wasn't attached to anything. Those skills that can allow her to earn a little bit of spirit stones in the sect, if they are taken to the outside to cultivate the immortal realm, it is likely to cause her to be killed.
Xiao Jingyan also understood Nuomi's situation, and when she saw Nuomi's troubled face, she couldn't help but persuade her, "You are completely different from me, you are young, and it is unlikely that you will be a casual cultivator outside now." If you have the ability to protect yourself, it is naturally better to be a casual cultivator than to be dependent on a sect, but you can't protect yourself at all now, so you should stay in the sect now. ”
Nuomi remembered what Xiao Jingyan had told her before, so she asked, "That...... What if it's a smaller family sect? ”
"Smaller sects?" Xiao Jingyan showed a surprised expression, thought about it, and said, "The small sect does look united, for the survival of the sect, the atmosphere is much better than that of the big sect." After all, most of the monks in those small sects were not very talented, and if the sect dispersed, it would be difficult for them to embark on the path of cultivation. It's just that it's difficult for such a small sect to have the strength to protect you. It's good that you can't protect it and hand it over. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect it and I don't want to hand it over...... I can't tell if I'm going to do anything......"
Nuomi listened to Xiao Jingyan's words, looked back and thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in her heart, and quickly dispelled this idea again.
In the final analysis, after all, it was because of her own lack of strength. If she had entered the distraction period now, even if she was only at the advanced level of the Enlightenment Period, she would not need to worry about it if she could have a chance to escape in front of some monks.
She turned around and counted the immortal arts and martial arts she knew, and suddenly became melancholy.
To say that what can really be done is only those spirit stones that she has saved. Because it is really difficult to find an alchemist in this miscellaneous mansion, Xiao Jingyan asked for a lot of spirit stones, and naturally distributed more to her, she originally didn't love huā pin, and there was nothing to huā in this miscellaneous mansion, so she saved it carefully, which was a lot of money.
But even if she has so many spirit stones on her body, it doesn't mean that she can take them out and use them arbitrarily. It's really that she herself has no way to protect herself now, if someone sees the spirit stone on her body, she may not kill her because she wants to grab the spirit stone.
In the past, when she was still wandering at the bottom of the mountain, not to mention that she had silver on her body, she had a little food on her body, and once she let the homeless people on the side see it, it would be easy to be snatched away. She is young and well-behaved, her eyes are as bright as the stars, and she can often get a little food when she tidies up her body well.
She didn't know much about it at the time, and when she got the food, she happily held it in her hand, and soon it was snatched up by the able-bodied homeless people on the side, and maybe even kicked her. After a lot of such experiences, she also learned to hide her things.
If you can't protect what you have, the best thing to do is not let others find out what you have.
She wants to learn from Xiao Jingyan to be a casual cultivator, but it is still a little too early for her.
But now that she is in such a desolate place as the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion, not to mention the cultivation of the exercises, she just wants to take a look at the jade slips of the exercises, and she also needs a lot of money to get a little bit from Mo Bo, maybe it is just a broken book. She always felt that even if she was in the miscellaneous servant's mansion, she didn't have much to do with it, and it was a good life to be well fed and clothed. But now, this little day is indeed good, but there is no way for her to get closer to Ye Fan again.
If Ye Fan's goal was to cultivate the Immortal Dao, her comfortable thoughts would only make her farther and farther away from that path. Originally, when she was in the mountain gate, because the main hall was full of spiritual energy, she often cultivated, not to mention that the progress was fast, but it would not fall much behind others.
Since she arrived at this miscellaneous servant's mansion, it had been a long time since she had cultivated properly.
Although there is a lot of time on weekdays, it is much more comfortable than inside the mountain gate, even if you don't work or cultivate, you can live a mess of life. She no longer has the mentality of gritting her teeth to break through the little black ball and working hard to cultivate Zhou Tian. If she maintains such a mentality, no matter how good her talent is, in the end, she will just be annihilated among everyone, and become a small doctor who is neither high nor low. (To be continued.)
