Volume 3 The Wind and Rain Rises and the Eight Desolations Chapter 223 The Spiritual Dao Conference
The first time he tried the psychic method, Jiang Ling touched the nail firmly, and also experienced the difficulty of cultivating the psychic method. Due to Zhou Yu's trauma, he could not summon the battle in a short period of time, let alone continue to try the psychic method.
Without Zhou Yu's great help, Jiang Ling understood that his strength was probably going to shrink a lot, and this time he would definitely not be able to expect Zhou Yu to go out of the Lingdao Conference when he went to the Lingyuan Continent to see the Spirit Dao Conference, and he could only hope that he would be able to recover the next time he entered the battlefield.
Jiang Ling once again read Li Qingzhou's notes in combination with practice for a while, and then reviewed the Yunshen Sect's Spiritual Mind Method, at this time Jiang Ling finally learned this mental method almost, and he didn't need to read it again in the future.
Since then, the time was almost over, Jiang Ling walked out of the house, waited in the square for a while, and Sun Xiaolou also walked out.
Sun Xiaolou came to Jiang Ling's side and said with a smile: "Let's go." β
"Okay." Jiang Ling also smiled, went to the mall with Xiao Lou, and asked at the same time, "What are you going to do this time?" β
"The last time I saved a trader in the middle of the battlefield, he said that he had something for me, and I had to go to him to get a reward." Sun Xiaolou said.
Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany you to find the vendor first." β
The two have already arrived at the mall and have chosen the option to teleport to the game world.
First, select the [Team Up] button, then select [Designated Location], and finally check the purchase time, and 120 points will be spent.
[Team up to go, location: Tianshui County, Shu Kingdom, Lingyuan Continent, teleportation countdown, 3.2.1.]
The two of them saw darkness in front of them, followed by a blur of light that swirled around them like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the two were in a room.
Jiang Ling took a look, this was a very simple house, it looked like someone's warehouse. Jiang Ling also knew that the system should have randomly teleported the two of them to Tianshui County, in a certain unoccupied house, so he didn't bother much about where it was, and walked out of the house with Xiaolou.
Outside the house, there is a street, surrounded by some simple small bungalows, there are not many pedestrians in the past, Sun Xiaolou glanced at it, and Jiang Ling said: "Tianshui County is a big county of Shu Kingdom, and Yunshenzong is on Yunxiao Mountain, fifty miles away in the north of this county. Recently, the Cloud God Sect held a spiritual dao conference, and many people came to Tianshui County, but it seems that most people have gone outside the city to watch the spiritual dao conference. β
Jiang Ling nodded, and then said, "This looks like a slum." β
"Well, even the biggest cities have poor people." Sun Xiaolou said.
Jiang Ling also smiled and said, "It's like the foot of the imperial capital is no exception. β
No matter how drunk and obsessed a big city is, it is impossible for all the people living in it to be rich and noble, there must be a certain number of grassroots or even low-level people, even in modern society, not to mention in this feudal state.
After all, little people who do dirty work are needed everywhere, and these little people live in the bustling scenery, living in the back of those who are wealthy, I don't know whether they are sad or lucky.
Jiang Ling glanced at the plainly dressed and even shabby people around him, shook his head and ignored it, but said, "Let's go find the vendor you said first, he's in the city, right?" β
Sun Xiaolou stuck out his tongue and said, "I only know that he is the owner of the pawnshop, surnamed Tong, and I don't know where he is." By the way, I don't know where the spiritual assembly will be held. β
"It's okay, find someone to ask." Jiang Ling couldn't cry or laugh.
Sun Xiaolou nodded, and then couldn't help but smile: "You are also a road idiot?" β
"Ahem... Who makes this world without GPS and navigation, we don't care about those details when we are short of time. Jiang Ling waved his hand and walked forward.
At this time, he heard a noise, Jiang Ling turned his head to look, and saw a young man running out of a simple yard, this young man looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, short hair and neat hair, he was wearing a gray dress with three or four patches on it, but it was very clean.
A woman's scolding voice came from the yard: "Little rabbit, who let you out!" What are you going to do!? β
The young man paused, turned around and shouted, "I have chopped the firewood, the water tank is full, the pigs have been fed, I will go out to play for a while." β
The middle-aged woman's cry came: "Come back quickly, if you dare to run to the north of the county today, I will break your dog's leg!" β
When the young man heard this, he ran out quickly, and when Jiang Ling saw it, he immediately stepped forward to stop him.
The young man glanced up at Jiang Ling, took a half step back timidly, and looked at Jiang Ling with bright and cautious eyes.
Jiang Ling smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I want to ask you for help." β
The boy asked, "What's the busy?" β
Jiang Ling said: "Take me to find a shop, and then go to the north of the county." β
"Thisβ" The boy hesitated.
Jiang Ling took out twenty copper coins, and then said, "Give you a reward, and I will give you 20 copper plates after the matter is completed." β
The young man's eyes lit up slightly, and then he took the copper coin and said with a smile: "Okay, who do you say you are looking for?" β
"A pawnshop owner surnamed Tong." Jiang Ling said.
"Okay, that pawnshop is also north of the county, so let's go over here." The boy walked forward.
Sun Xiaolou leaned over to Jiang Ling and whispered, "His mother didn't let him go to the north of the county, and you asked him to lead the way." β
Jiang Ling smiled and said in a low voice: "Do you believe that he originally planned to go to the north of the county to see the excitement?" Instead, I gave him a valid reason to explain it when he got home. β
"Okay." Sun Xiaolou chuckled and muttered, "Adolescent rebellious youth,"
The young man walked briskly in front of him and asked, "Are you also here for the spiritual conference?" β
"Sort of." Jiang Ling responded.
The young man glanced back at Jiang Ling and Sun Xiaolou, saw that they were well dressed, and glanced at the long sword hanging behind Sun Xiaolou's waist, his eyes showed a hint of envy, and then said, "You are all powerful cultivators, right?" β
"It's not that powerful." Jiang Ling smiled.
"It must be very powerful, there are a lot of cultivators in the county in the past few days, there are all major sects, I heard that some of them can't even beat the county guard, and some people fly over outside the city on a big bird with a flash, which is particularly powerful." The young man's eyes flashed when he talked about this, and then he was a little dim, he sighed lightly, and said enviously, "If only I could practice." β
Sun Xiaolou said with a smile: "Maybe you also have a talent for cultivation, since you have come to so many big sects, you can try to worship a teacher." β
"How dare you, the people in the county don't let us civilians disturb the cultivators, otherwise we will be arrested." The boy shook his head.
Jiang Ling also understood that for these ordinary people, there were almost two worlds between them and cultivators, and even if they really had the talent for cultivation, they would not have the opportunity to contact the path of cultivation. Although some cultivation sects will also recruit disciples from the public, for these people living at the bottom, they can only barely meet their own food and clothing, and they have no spare energy to study and cultivate. In addition, the level of life is too low, and the horizon is narrow, and all I want is to raise more pigs and do more work to support my family. For that bizarre cultivation world, I'm afraid I can't avoid it.
There are also some sons of poor families who embark on the road of cultivation and finally become famous, but those are just inspirational stories, and there are actually very few.
Jiang Ling asked, "The Cloud God Sect is nearby, shouldn't they recruit people once a year?" β
Hearing this, the young man glanced at Jiang Ling and seemed to have heard a stupid word. But he didn't say much, and replied honestly: "No, the Cloud God Sect only recruits disciples once every two years, and each time it will only select 20 people from among the people who sign up, and if you want to sign up, you must have a letter of recommendation." β
"Letters of recommendation?" Jiang Ling asked suspiciously.
The young man also heard that Jiang Ling didn't know much about the recruitment rules of the Cloud God Sect, and he must have come from other places, so he explained: "It must be a nobleman with a title, or a letter of recommendation written by a cultivator above the Heavenly Transformation Realm. β
"This is too mean, isn't it not a chance not to give people from the poor family a chance at all." Jiang Ling couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this condition, how could the dignified Cloud God Sect have such snobbish rules.
The young man said very calmly: "After all, the Yunshen Sect is the second largest sect in the mainland, occupying the seventeenth peak of Yunxiao Mountain, and has more than 1,000 disciples, which is the place where we can enter." β
Jiang Ling frowned and said, "In the early years, the Cloud God Sect also recruited disciples like this? β
The young man also sighed: "It is said that eight years ago, everyone could sign up, as long as they were sincere enough and talented, they could join the sect." β
Jiang Ling fell silent when he heard this, and didn't say much.
Sun Xiaolou glanced at Jiang Ling, knowing that he had something on his mind, but he didn't ask much, but looked at the young man and asked, "Brother, what's your name." β
The young man turned his head and smiled shyly at Sun Xiaolou, and said, "My name is Li Chenglin." β
Sun Xiaolou was a little surprised, and praised: "The name is good,"
Li Chenglin smiled even more, and said proudly: "Of course, my mother said that there was a great drought in the year I was born, and the crops were going to die, so my father gave me this name, my father is a teacher, and he said that 'Lin' means heavy rain." Guess what, on the night I was born, it rained heavily and it rained all night. β
"That's amazing." Sun Xiaolou also squinted and smiled, and said, "You are powerful, and your father is also powerful." β
The young man nodded vigorously and said, "My father is very powerful, he can read a lot of articles, and even some officials come to him to help write letters, if he is still here, I can still learn more knowledge, and I don't have to carry water and chop wood all day." β
Sun Xiaolou was slightly stunned and said, "Your father..."
"I was beaten to death by a nobleman two years ago." Li Chenglin's tone was calm, but there was inevitably some sadness in his eyes.
Hearing this, Sun Xiaolou's eyes flashed with surprise and annoyance, and asked, "Because of what?" β
"Because the nobleman wrote a plaque for someone else, but he wrote a wrong word, and my father saw it and said it, and then the nobleman sent someone to beat him to death." Resentment flashed in the young man's eyes when he thought of this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If I can practice, I have to..."
But the second half of his sentence is naturally very clear.
Jiang Ling patted Li Chenglin's shoulder and comforted, "As long as you don't give up, you will definitely have the opportunity to become a cultivator." β
Li Chenglin hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Can I?" β
"Absolutely." As Jiang Ling spoke, he mobilized an extremely weak bit of spiritual power into Li Chenglin's body, and swam around his body, and then Jiang Ling smiled: "You are a very talented person. β
"Really!" Li Chenglin faintly felt a warm current flowing in his body, and he was very excited.
"Even if the Cloud God Sect doesn't accept you, there will naturally be other sects." Jiang Ling lowered his voice and said, "That's it, I won't give you the remaining copper coins for a while, how about changing a book of spiritual arts?" β
Li Chenglin looked left and right, then suppressed his excitement, nodded and said, "Okay, good master." β
Jiang Ling couldn't cry or laugh: "Who is your master?" β
