"Auntie help me get some paste,"

Yang Xiu said while writing: "Huzi, you go and paste these papers on the windows and doors of your house, remember to stick them inside the house, separate them, and don't overlap." ”

After a lot of busywork, the windows and doors of the two families were finally pasted with the word "warm" written on them. At this time, it was still a little cold standing in the house, but I couldn't feel the cold wind that was pouring into it like usual, and the paper with fairy text blocked most of the cold, and the insulation effect was very good.

"Brother Yang, you are so powerful! You learned spells so quickly. Huzi stared curiously at these papers with strange words written on them, and he could still feel a little warmth when he put his hand on them, looked back at Yang Xiu, scratched his head and said innocently.

Yang Xiu smiled and didn't explain. The two helped Aunt Liu to return home, and Yang Xiu pasted the remaining three pieces of paper around the earthen kang of Aunt Liu's house, and then put Aunt Liu on it and sat down.

"Hey, that's good, auntie, you will sleep in this position in the future,"

Yang Xiu patted his dizzy head and grinned: "I guarantee that your feet will not hurt until dawn." ”

In winter, the poor family can only rely on firewood to burn the kang for heating, and the two families are poor. Huzi himself went up the mountain to chop firewood and sell it for money, so he was willing to use it. Now use Xianwen to block the doors and windows, at least it is much more comfortable to lie on the kang.

After writing ten characters in a row, the spiritual power in Yang Xiu's body was almost exhausted, and his head was a little dizzy. However, looking at the wrinkled Aunt Liu laughing happily and contentedly, holding the familiar and unfamiliar rough palms, Yang Xiu felt that everything was worth it.

......

After eating dinner at Aunt Liu's house, Yang Xiu immediately went home and plugged the door, and couldn't wait to go back to the house to meditate and practice.

Yang Xiu found that feeling and absorbing the aura between heaven and earth during cultivation can not only strengthen people's physical fitness, but also relieve fatigue and restore physical strength very quickly. Since he practiced once in the examination room, the symptoms of typhoid fever in Yang Qu's body have completely disappeared, and his whole person is full of vitality, not at all like he has traveled dozens of miles back and forth.

Sitting cross-legged, Yang Xiu adjusted his breathing, and slowly felt the aura swimming around his body again, entering that state of empty cultivation.

The cultivation in the early stage of quenching is the easiest, for most immortal cultivators, as long as they can get started, then they will become more and more proficient in absorbing aura, and their realm will become more and more stable.

In the future, better cultivation techniques and even some rare elixirs are needed to open up more meridians, speed up the speed of spiritual energy entering the body and absorbing spiritual power, and when the meridians of the whole body are developed to a certain extent, even if it is stepping into the body to quench a heavy weight.

※※※

Early the next morning, Yang Xiu, who had been cultivating for most of the night, was refreshed, didn't eat breakfast, and went out directly to Shanyin City Street.

What needs to be solved urgently at the moment is the problem of livelihood, and the success of this Xianwen examination is an excellent opportunity, and if you take advantage of it, Aunt Liu and Huzi will be able to completely get rid of this poor life.

Now Yang Xiu is still an ordinary person, he still has to eat, drink and Lazar, blindly cultivating and meditating is destined not to achieve much, and in the future, he will definitely need to spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of materials, utensils, and pills needed for cultivation.

The elixir taken by immortal cultivators is made from various rare materials and spurred with corresponding spells. According to the records of "Xianwen Mengxue", the most elementary elixir taken by immortal cultivators is called Fire Spirit Pill.

The effect of the fire elixir is to assist in expanding the meridians and increasing the efficiency of the human body in absorbing spiritual energy, and the elixir contains rich spiritual power. Compared with simply absorbing the spiritual power between heaven and earth, the speed of taking pills to assist cultivation is several times faster than the former, and no immortal cultivator can resist this kind of **.

All disciples who officially enter the Heavenly Book Pavilion can get a Fire Spirit Pill, but if they want to continue taking it after that, they will have to rely on themselves.

If you buy it directly with silver, the price of the Fire Spirit Pill is clearly marked: one hundred taels of silver each, and it is only sold in special places. For a poor scholar like Yang Xiu, who was born in poverty, this is like a salaryman who earns 3,000 a month wants to buy a million-dollar luxury car, and can only enjoy it in his dreams.

As for the high-grade elixir, no amount of gold or silver can be bought, so it can only be purchased with cherished spirit stones, or directly bartered, which is very rare and rare.

The so-called spirit stone refers to the supernatural ore that can independently absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the quantity is scarce, and it is generally only produced in places with rich spiritual energy, or extremely deep underground.

This special ore is different from the elixir, it cannot give a large amount of spiritual energy to the immortal cultivator in a short period of time, and it is not very useful when it hits the bottleneck of cultivation. However, when an immortal cultivator uses spirit stones in conjunction with his cultivation, he can greatly increase his cultivation efficiency.

The cultivation efficiency that can be improved by spirit stones is related to the cultivation of immortal cultivators. Generally speaking, the cultivation speed of the lower-grade spirit stone is only less than half of it, and the middle-grade spirit stone is one percent, as for the legendary high-grade spirit stone that has the anti-heaven effect of increasing the cultivation efficiency of three percent, ordinary people have no chance to see the true face at all.

For high-level immortal cultivators, it takes decades or even hundreds of years to improve a realm at every turn, so the spirit stone is a necessary thing for daily cultivation, and it is similar to the gold and silver of the world in the immortal cultivation world.

Of course, the spirit stone is still a bit ethereal to Yang Xiu, but Yang Xiu needs real money now, so it is imperative to make money!

......

Walking through the crowded street, Yang Xiu walked quickly to a building with arched eaves and an imposing building.

This is the yamen of San'in Castle.

The government of Shanyin City is also controlled by the Immortal Cultivation Sect to a certain extent, and it is inextricably linked with Tianshu Pavilion, such as helping Tianshu Pavilion to fight and so on. Today, the entrance of the yamen is particularly lively, people come and go in an endless stream, there are a few tables at the door, and the recorder in charge is making records.

Every scholar in Shanyin City who is named in the Heavenly List has to come here to report, confirm the identity of the disciples on the periphery of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and get a bounty, which is also the main purpose of Yang Xiu's coming here today.

Walking to the table, Yang Xiuchong said politely: "Official, I'm here to report the results of the Xianwen examination." ”

"You?"

The recorder looked at Yang Xiu with some suspicion, and there was undisguised contempt in his eyes. At this time, Yang Xiu was still wearing a torn cotton jacket full of patches, and at a glance, he definitely did not give the impression of a scholar full of wealth, but more like an out-and-out poor and poor person.

However, when Yang Xiu took out the golden scroll in his arms and accurately reported his examination information, the jaws of the recorder and the people around him almost fell in shock, and the eyes that looked at Yang Xiu changed from contempt to shock.

"It turned out to be really Yang Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful, I thought it was a person with the same name and surname, haha~"

The recorder reacted the fastest, and immediately had a smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Congratulations to Yang Gongzi, enter the Heavenly Book Pavilion to cultivate immortals, and immortality is just around the corner! This is Yang Gongzi's identity wooden card and reward......

Yang Xiu sneered in his heart, his face was silent, he took two things from the recorder's hand, checked that they were correct, and then said a few polite words to the recorder, turned around and left quickly.

The identity plaque is actually a delicate seal, heavy to start with, carved from bright yellow wood throughout. On the surface of the wooden plaque, a cloud-shrouded pavilion is carved with the technique of yin carving, representing the Tianshu Pavilion, and below the seal, the words "Shanyin Yang Xiu" are engraved with the technique of yang carving.

This is the unique identity identifier of Tianshu Pavilion, and every disciple in the sect has one.

The silver rewarded by the government was wrapped in a cloth bag, with a full ten taels of silver.

That's ten taels of silver! Just by writing letters on behalf of others, you can't see so much white silver in your life. Yang Xiu touched the silver pair and the wooden card in his arms, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

The crowd gathered around and was ready to watch the excitement watched Yang Xiu leave, one by one dumbfounded, and the second monk couldn't figure it out.

When will even a person with dull qualifications like Yang Xiu be able to pass the literary examination, is this year's literary examination particularly simple?

Thinking of this, many people on the scene couldn't help beating their chests and crying: I knew that I went to try my luck yesterday, and I wasted such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Repentance!

......

Yang Xiu didn't delay for a moment, left the yamen, and came directly to the Duobao Pavilion on the opposite street.

Duobao Pavilion is the largest shop in the city. Now that the entrance examination has just passed, there are nearly 100 literati in Shanyin City, and the atmosphere of learning immortal literature and competing to cultivate is particularly strong, and even the business with Duobao Pavilion is outrageously good, the store is bustling with customers, and the shopkeeper Qi of Duobao Pavilion is even more happy that his two beards are about to fly.

Called a man, Yang Xiu bought two rolls of high-quality rice paper, a stone inkstone, and expensive cigarette ink and brushes, and the ten taels of silver in his arms were not hot, and they were spent cleanly.

Yang Xiu knew that this money could not be saved, a good pen and good ink were like the treasure knives and blades loved by warriors, without them, no matter how good the calligraphy was, it would have to be discounted, which would affect the appearance too much.

Picking up the things in his hand, Yang Xiu turned around and walked to the corner of the Duobao Pavilion, wanting to write the immortal text on the spot.

That's right, the way Yang Xiu thought of making money was to sell thousand-character essays!

The thousand-character text copied on the paper is convenient to study, and it will carry some of the power of perception left by the writer, which is of great help to remember and visualize the immortal text, and it is the dream of every scholar.

No matter where you go, there is no shortage of rich people, in Yang Xiu's memory, a thousand-character essay of only seven or eight hundred words can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and as the number of words increases, the price is even higher, which can be called the most sought-after luxury goods in contemporary times.

What could be faster than this money?

Yang Xiu was excited in his heart, turned around and walked quickly around the screen on the right side of the front hall, but when he saw the situation behind him, Yang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.
