Chapter 13 For a Living
Lin Jue was a little depressed in front of the room, just because he was half a step slower, and the place to live was selected. There are still a few vacant rooms in the corner, but they have not been inhabited for a long time, and they are already full of miscellaneous items.
I was worried when a man walked over from outside the courtyard: "I still have an empty bed in the house, if you don't mind, you can move in with me." ”
Lin Jue tilted his head and saw that this man was in his thirties when he looked at his face, and he must have been the teacher who taught him, so he hurriedly stood up straight.
"How dare the disciple disturb the teacher's rest. ”
The man's face suddenly turned red, scratched his head, and stammered a little: "I'm not a teacher, I'm a disciple of the third level of Yun, but I'm old, if you don't dislike it, you can call me a promising senior brother." ”
"It turned out to be a promising senior brother, but I was clumsy. Lin Jue also felt a little embarrassed. "I wonder if moving over will affect Senior Brother Qingxiu?"
"It's okay, Yun San's courtyard has been silent for a long time, it's too late for you to be happy with me, come with me. Youwei smiled and led Lin Jue to walk inside.
Yun San's residence is not far away, and it is built on the same line as Yun Yi's disciple's residence, and it will be three or four hundred steps inward. It's just that a row of ancient pines is planted in the middle, which divides the area of all levels.
"The residences of our male disciples of the Yunzi Academy are very casual, as long as there is a vacant room, you can live there. The middle courtyard we crossed just now was the residence of the second-level disciples of Yun, but the junior disciples had been heavy on their studies recently, so they were not there. Youwei introduced him while leading the way, but it was very friendly.
The innermost part of the entire Yunzi branch is the house of the third disciple of Yun,
"I'm the only one living in this courtyard, and although the conditions are simple, it's quiet, suitable for concentrating on cultivation. Youwei pushed the door in, and the two-foot square hut was cleaned up. Except for an old wooden case, there were only two half-decayed beds, and the bed on the right had been vacant for a long time, but fortunately it was cleaned together when there was nothing to do, and no dust was left behind.
Laying the newly issued mattress of the Heavenly Dao Academy on the bed, Lin Jue heard a sharp knock on the door as soon as he started to pick it up.
Youwei glanced at Lin Jue blankly, got up and went to open the door. I'm alone here, is it here to find this little junior brother?
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the fat man holding a large mattress and leaning on the doorrail breathlessly, and shouted resentfully:
"I have been screaming behind you for a long time, and you two have not answered me, causing me to drive all the way...... Yo, this is Senior Brother, Hello Senior Brother!"
"Oh... Oh, hello junior brother!" Youwei looked at the futon in the fat man's arms a little confused. "Senior brother, what are you...?"
"Hah! I'll make a shop!" said the fat man, grinning. After speaking, he walked straight into the house without being polite, put the quilt on Lin Jue's bed, glanced at him, and then said, "What a daze, take a hand." ”
Youwei reacted and said busily:
"This junior brother, there are still many vacant rooms next door, I will clean one for you to live in. ”
The fat man waved his hand again and again:
"Don't~ Don't, junior brother, I like to sleep in a shared bed, so that it is warm in winter. ”
Lin Jue's face was bitter and he said helplessly: "Why don't you say that it's warm on a hot day." ”
"Yantian?there should be no Yantian ...... in the mountains" The fat man saw that this reason was not very convincing, and then said angrily: "You kid owes me a bunch of debts, I don't watch you day and night, in case you run away one day and night, I will find someone to cry out for!"
"Senior brother, this ......" Youwei looked at Lin Jue with an embarrassed face.
"It's okay, it's just that I will inevitably bother my brother in the future. Lin Jue said apologetically.
"I'm irrelevant, but is this really okay?" Youwei was a little worried, he was really afraid that Lin Jue's small body would be accidentally crushed by the fat man at night.
Lin Jue raised his head and pondered it, smiled peacefully, and sat back as if he didn't understand.
After everything was cleaned up, it was noon, Youwei was in a good mood to get acquainted with the two new junior disciples, took the two to have a rather sumptuous meal, and led them around the Tiandao Courtyard to introduce some rules.
The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy are divided into three stages, first, second, and third. If you want to be promoted, you need to pass three levels, and there is no time limit for assessment, as long as you have the strength to do so, you can do it at any time.
"I heard that twenty years ago, there was a senior sister of Nangong in our Cloud Character Academy, and it only took four years to rise to the third level of Yun. Youwei's eyes were full of golden light, and after calming down a little, he warned Lin Jue and the others: "Those three promotion levels are extremely dangerous, and some new tricks will be added every year, at least you have to be promoted to the fourth grade star warrior can skillfully use the first star technique before you can pass, so you two don't take the liberty of trying." ”
The two nodded hurriedly, naturally they would not be stupid enough to send them to death.
Next, Youwei told them some taboos of the Heavenly Dao Academy, what nameless hall cannot enter, what the back mountain cannot enter, and the residence of female disciples cannot enter...... Wait a minute.
However, Lin Jue's main concern is not these problems, the Heavenly Dao Academy is only responsible for teaching and solving doubts, and does not care about anything else. So livelihood is the biggest problem.
"Senior brother, do you know any ways to make money in this courtyard?"
Youwei was a little puzzled at first, but after looking at Lin Jue's shabby appearance, he sighed with emotion: "It seems that the junior brother is living very poorly." But there are some ways to make money."
Lin Jue suddenly came to his senses and looked at him with burning eyes.
He paced and pondered for a moment and said, "The mountains around the Heavenly Dao Courtyard are continuous, and occasionally there will be star stones and star iron falling around. If you can find one or two pieces in the mountains, if you are lucky, you can pick up one of the pieces that fell in three days, and sell it, then you don't have to worry about it for a few years. ”
Lin Jue shook his head without thinking about it.
Star stones and star iron are all remnants that have fallen off from the stars outside the sky, and those that contain more substance or all stone are called star stones, which contain some of the power of the stars of the origin, and are supreme treasures for Heavenly Mandate cultivators. If it contains more metal components, it is called star iron, which can be used to forge weapons of different grades. The higher the number of days, the higher the value of the star stone or star iron, which everyone knows. However, there is often a situation where there is no price or no market when trading. Nebula cultivators with offensive attributes need Star Stones of the same attribute to gain on him. The same is true for Star Iron, the weapons smelted by Star Iron require cultivators of the same attribute to exert its full power.
Therefore, this thing is unavoidable, and I am afraid that I will starve to death if I rely on this method to make money.
Youwei thought about it carefully and felt that there was little hope, and continued: "The second method is a little simpler. Presumably, on the day you were admitted to the hospital, you saw many spirits and beasts in the surrounding forests, although they were ferocious but their flesh was delicious, and after eating, they were very beneficial to the human body, and if you could catch one or two and sell them to the Five Flavor Pavilion, you might be able to deal with them for a few months. ”
Wuwei Pavilion is the place where Senior Brother takes them to eat at noon, its flavor is average, but the price is ridiculously high, and the same dishes are ten times that of some restaurants in Sky City. This place is only suitable for wealthy children like Nangong Wen to have a pastime. It's understandable to think about it, after all, the Five Flavor Pavilion is one of the channels through which the Heavenly Dao Academy makes a living.
Lin Jue thought about it and thought that although this method was much more practical than the previous one, it was not too safe after all.
"Senior brother, is there anything more secure?"
"More secure?" Youwei touched his chin and suddenly said, "Then there is still a hard job left." "Everyone knows a truth, if you want to cultivate by leaps and bounds, you have to find someone to learn from. However, most of the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy were black-clothed disciples in Sky City, and they had been pampered since they were young and couldn't bear this hardship. So ......"
Before Youwei finished speaking, Lin Jue said with a smile: "This method is good!"
This is his old business, and he has survived all these years in Nangong Mansion. His own healing ability is far beyond ordinary people, and now it is useful again.
Finally found a way to make ends meet, and Lin Jue couldn't wait for a moment of excitement. Running back to the house, I immediately had to write a notice and post it so that I could solicit business. These are all stolen from the same mother-in-law Wang who sells fruits, and if you want to do well in trading, you have to make money if you lose money.
The fat man volunteered to write a notice for him, and patted his chest and swore that he would definitely be full. Lin Jue was so annoyed that he followed him.
But after he finished writing, he was almost torn up by Lin Jue immediately. The proclamation reads:
"My surname is Lin Mingjue, a first-class star. There is Yiqun's outstanding talent, and there is the appearance of a drunken jade mountain. Born with steel and iron bones, copper heart and iron courage, proficient in dragon and tiger boxing. If there are fellow students, they need to negotiate with each other as soon as possible, and women take the lead. ”
Lin never allowed the fat man to post the notice. There is a Ye family in Sky City, and the second young master of the family was born an idiot, so he couldn't find a wife for a long time.
"Only by showing off yourself can everyone know that you exist, and you have no other strengths, but you look better than me, I don't write about how to attract business. The fat man shouted righteously.
"yes, I think that's the case, too. Even the promising senior brother with an honest personality is on the fat man's side, and Lin Jue has no other way but to smile bitterly.
However, the notice written by the fat man is indeed not a fool, and today's Lin Jue is indeed as written in the article, with a jade-like appearance.
Lin Jue used to wear a ragged shirt all day long, except for the undried sweat on his face, his hair was scattered, and he had hidden half of his face for many years, so that it seemed extremely ordinary to outsiders.
Since the sorting ceremony, he has changed into a new uniform and tied up his long hair that is scattered, but he has become a different person just like this. Previously, Senior Brother Youwei and the fat man were stunned when they saw his true face.
"It turned out to be a piece of gold jade, but it has been covered by dust, if you carve it again, wouldn't it be a drunken jade mountain?"
Although the fat man was extremely reluctant to admit his promising words, his envious and jealous gaze was true.
Since the successful conclusion of the Nebula, Lin Jue's appearance has changed a lot. The immature face began to show some edges and corners, and the white jade face was heroic. The temperament is also different from before, and at a young age, he swallowed mountains and rivers with breath and looked down on the spirit of the people. It's just that he doesn't care about it.
