In the southwest of Lingcang, there is a big river that runs from east to west, it originates from Pudu Mountain, where the Lisheng Temple of the four temples of Buddhism is located, from west to east, passing through Huayangmen and Chixia Palace, passing through Gui'an Temple, and finally entering the sea in Ning'an City. This river is called Lijiang.

In the middle of the Lijiang River, there is a big mountain that runs north-south, which is cut off by the Lijiang River, so it is called the Broken Water Mountain. The spiritual veins of this mountain are huge, the climate is suitable, and it is very suitable for cultivating elixirs, so it is occupied by the two major factions of Chixia Palace and Huayangmen, one south and one north.

Just on the east side of the Broken Water Mountain, north of the Lijiang River, there is a large lake. This lake covers an extremely wide area, there are 10,000 hectares, the water waves are vast, the aura is full, and it is called Huiling Lake.

Huiling Lake is rich in spirit pearls, and the natural spirit beads produced by Huiling pearl oysters are of better quality than ordinary spirit beads, not only used as coins, but also excellent refining and alchemy materials.

Such a good place, of course, it is impossible that no one covets it. I don't know when it started, Huayangmen and Chixia Palace each have a corner, thinking that they are the property of the sect.

However, Huiling Lake is too big, even if there are two sects, they can only build shell farms by the lake, looking at the vast lake and sighing. No matter how good Lingbei is, it is impossible for the industry of the big sect to stop at such a place, and if you invest more manpower, you have to give up something else, but you will suffer a loss. Since it can't be managed, then it's good to open up, the Lingcang Sect is powerful, and it is necessary to leave a way for loose cultivation to live!

As a result, over the years, many scattered cultivators have settled here, and with the small power of small sects, Huiling Lake is not an immortal city, and it is no different from an immortal city.

There are hundreds of thousands of people here, scattered on the shores of Huiling Lake; There are thousands of merchants here, communicating with each other; This place is open to the public, as long as you avoid the shellfish fields of the two major sects. You can go deep into the lake. Look for Lingbei. If you find such a unique one, you can get rich overnight; The most important thing is that there is no strict management here as in Xiancheng, free and free, and you can live well without too much money.

It can be said that Huiling Lake is the best choice for Lingcang cultivators besides going to Xingluo Sea.

"The third-order Divine Runes you want, a total of ten. Shenghui three hundred spirit stones. A crisp voice sounded in a shop on the shore of Huiling Lake, and the woman who spoke, with a happy smile, handed over the talisman paper bag in her hand.

The stiff-faced blackfriar outside the counter softened a little at her smile. It's just that no matter how gratifying the other party is, bargaining still can't be saved. While thinking about the reason for the counteroffer, he took the talisman paper bag. Flip it over to check. It's a little distressing to make sure that each one is of perfect quality. I had to say: "Miss Cen, Wu is also an old customer in your store, why don't you see a discount?" ”

The Cen girl glanced at him with a smile and said, "Wu Daoyou, you hurt my heart by saying that!" If you weren't always taking care of your business, where would you be able to keep ten of these third-order runes? It was gone as early as the day it was delivered! ”

The black-clothed monk was right to think about it, but if he didn't bargain, he was unwilling: "Miss Cen, why don't you give a discount, next time Wu returns, the spirit beads will be sold to your store first, how about it?" ”

Listening to the words, this blackfriar is the most common pearl diver in Huiling Lake. Huiling Lake's specialty is Lingbei, and the biggest industry is, of course, pearl diving. During the season of producing spirit beads, countless pearl divers enter Huiling Lake, go deep into the water, collect those ordinary or special spirit beads, and then sell them to the store in exchange for cultivation.

Miss Cen showed a look of embarrassment, but the black-clothed monk was very patient, the two of them went back and forth, talked for a quarter of an hour, and finally lost ten spirit stones.

"Miss Cen, thank you, Wu will definitely come back next time." The black-clothed monk bowed halfway and put the talisman paper bag into the Qiankun bag.

"Okay, you can come back slowly." In Miss Cen's crisp voice, the black-clothed monk left contentedly. Most of the talismans are second-order, and third-order runes are rare, not to mention that the quality is so intact. With these talismans, he can go to the deep water next time and explore the lair of King Bei......

As he stepped out of the threshold of the shop, he happened to pass by a white-clothed monk, and at a casual glance, he couldn't help but look twice.

What a handsome boy! Oh no, it's a girl. Such a demeanor is really rare......

In the small shop, Miss Cen, who had just sent away the guests and put away her smile, saw this handsome girl, her eyes lit up: "Sister Cheng, I haven't seen you for many days, you are here!" ”

This girl is naturally Lingyu.

She stepped into the store, and before she could say a word, she was warmly pulled by Miss Cen who greeted her. The guy in the small shop saw that his proprietress couldn't wait to push the cyclamen to the private room: "Sister Cheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and if you want to wear it, you're about to turn into a wangfu stone...... and don't forget to tell him, "No matter how big the business is, don't come to disturb." ”

"Yes......" The young man who had just arrived looked at the back of the proprietress stupidly, thinking, could it be that this is the proprietress sweetheart? No, it's obviously a female cultivator, and the proprietress still calls her Sister Cheng. Or, the proprietress likes women? The thought made the young man shiver. No way? The boss lady is such a good woman, she likes women, so what should a man do?

Lingyu couldn't cry or laugh, sat down in the private room, took the tea from Miss Cen, and said, "I said Boss Cen, are you trying to take our 'adultery' seriously?" ”

Miss Cen smiled: "Isn't that just right?" With you, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, as a backer, not many people dare to fight this girl's idea. ”

It's a pity that Lingyu doesn't give face: "I'm sorry, I don't like women." ”

A year ago, she left Feng'an City and traveled all the way to the southeast, and when she arrived at Huiling Lake, she happened to be cultivating to the crucial level, so she simply rented a cave mansion here and retreated to the later stage. Three months later, she made a breakthrough and became a monk in the later stage of foundation building.

From refining qi to building the foundation, it took her less than ten years, and from the foundation building to the later stage of foundation building, she walked for a full ninety years. Recalling the twists and turns, it's hard to say.

After leaving the customs, she sent a letter to Shimen to report her safety, telling Master Sù about the late stage of the breakthrough, and then she stayed in Huiling Lake.

Sitting in front of Huiling Lake every day, watching the waves and people coming and going, it is not interesting.

This Cen girl, named Cen Ruyi, cultivated in the early stage of foundation building. Take the old lady to live on the shore of Huiling Lake. A small shop was opened. It is mainly engaged in the trading of the most common spirit beads and the sale of spirit runes.

The cave house where Lingyu lives is nearby, and when he has no money, he often draws some spirit runes to consign, and after a long time, he becomes a regular customer.

Cen Ruyi is quite difficult, her mother is just a mortal, although she has pills to protect her body, she will inevitably grow old day by day. She was not as reliable as her relatives, and she was not at ease about leaving her mother in the mortal world, so she always took her with her. A woman with a beautiful appearance. Alone, with an old lady, how can life be better? Lingyu didn't know what she had experienced, but looking at her words and deeds, she felt that Cen Ruyi's young appearance was faintly full of vicissitudes.

In terms of age, she is older than Cen Ruyi's mother, but Cen Ruyi is older than her in terms of appearance and mentality.

"How's your mother?" Lingyu asked.

Cen Ruyi's face showed a faint sadness: "Although I am in good health. One qiē is unharmed, but he still grows old day by day. No panacea is of ......"

Mortals and monks are different, monks have longevity pills to take, but mortals can't bear the medicinal properties, at most take some basic Yangyuan pills. But even if there is no illness and no pain, the aging of life cannot be stopped, and it is cruel to see the people closest to you losing their lives day by day, and you can't do anything about it.

Lingyu could only comfort: "She is over 100 years old, she has no illness or disaster, all you can do is this, don't blame yourself." ”

"I don't know." Cen Ruyi said abruptly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the principles of heaven and earth, and I have nothing more to ask for if my mother can make her healthy all her life." But...... If we can see through life and death, how can we cultivate immortals? ”

"......" Lingyu was silent. Yes, don't immortal cultivators all can't see through life and death and want to live forever?

"Don't talk about that." Cen Ruyi smiled again and took her hand affectionately, "Quickly show me, what kind of talisman was drawn this time?" ”

Lingyu withdrew her hand: "What's the hurry?" I can't lose you! As he spoke, he took out several packets of spiritual talismans from the Qiankun bag, "Huh." ”

Cen Ruyi couldn't wait to take it, and opened it one by one: "Third-order Evil Breaking Talisman, third-order vine wood talisman, third-order fire talisman...... Four runes! Fourth-Order Xuanshui Talisman! At first, her voice was still calm, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end, she grabbed Lingyu's hand, "Sister Cheng, you are really my good sister!" ”

"Don't!" Lingyu pushed her away, unmoved, "I'm older than your mother." ”

The corners of Cen Ruyi's mouth twitched twice, and he was defeated: "You are really ...... Incomprehensible style. ”

"Heh......" Lingyu picked up the teacup and smiled, "I'm not a man." ”

"Even if it's a woman, it's too faceless!"

"If I give you face, I will lose." Lingyu winked at her, revealing a bit of cunning.

"......" Cen Ruyi was defeated by her, "Forget it, let's talk about it, what price do you want to sell?" ”

"You can do it! In business, I'm not as good as you. The old rule is that you take 20% and sell more and draw more. ”

This answer was expected by Cen Ruyi, in the past six months, they have been working together like this, but she still habitually asks to show respect.

Simply and neatly accepted the talisman bag, Cen Ruyi took out a bill of goods and a spirit stone bag: "The spirit talisman I sent last time was sold, this is the income - knowing your habits, I have already deducted the material fee for the rune paper and rune ink, and I will bring it with me when I leave." ”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The spirit jade didn't count, and after glancing at the manifest, he put away the spirit stone bag. Cooperating with Cen Ruyi is not a matter of one or two days, although she is a little tactful, she has always had credibility in business. Besides, he is also a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and no one dares to deceive him in Huiling Lake, which is rare among Jiedan monks.

"I also make money, how can it be hard?" Cen Ruyi replied with a smile.

The two chatted a few words, Lingyu got up to say goodbye, and took the pre-ordered rune paper and rune ink from the counter before leaving. Cen Ruyi pulled her and said, "By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you, you said last time that you would collect a batch of materials, and Huiling Lake will hold a trade fair in a few days, it is said that there will be yin and yang wood, don't forget to go." (To be continued......)

PS: Today's birthday, I went out to dinner with my family, and I came back a little late. Everyone is still so enthusiastic, I can't repay it, and I, who is full of positive energy, can only be repaid with updates. Of course, it's too late today, so that's all for tomorrow and continues tomorrow.
