Chapter 7: Temptation
Ram bowed and saluted: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your demeanor is still the same as it was back then." ”
Since Ram worshiped under the Fierce Thunder Dao people, this was the second time he had seen Xue Mingjin. Xue Mingjin, who is the eldest son of the fierce thunder dao, was already a Jindan monk back then. Twenty-five years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the passage of time, has not brought him the slightest change in appearance.
It is rare for mortals in the world to live to be 100 years old.
Cultivators, on the other hand, are different. Cultivators absorb the aura of heaven and earth, condense mana, refine the physical body, sprint through the meridians, warm the body and embark on the path of cultivation.
In practice, people have strong qi and blood, strong physical body, and eternal soul, so they can fight with the heavens and seek immortality. Even for a cultivator at the bottom of the Qi cultivation period, it is easy to live two or three Jiazi, which is a trivial matter. As for a Jindan period monk like Xue Mingjin, it is easy to live for hundreds of years, but it is just an idle matter.
The contrast between the death of the previous life and the immortality of the present life strengthened Ram's determination to monastic.
Xue Mingjin took the lead in sitting down, half-lying on the chair, and waved his hand: "Okay, sit down." ”
Ram sat on the opposite side, while Shi Yi closed the palace gate under Xue Mingjin's eyes and quietly retreated.
Xue Mingjin immediately got up, raised his wine glass, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother is here today, Senior Brother Mingjin, I will toast you." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his neck and drank all the wine in his cup.
Ram also lifted the wine jug and poured himself wine, and as soon as the wine flowed down, a mellow aroma wafted out and diffused out.
Ram laughed, accompanied by a glass of wine, and sighed: "Senior brother, this wine tastes sweet and has a mellow smell, it's really a good wine!" ”
The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious.
The dishes at this banquet are all unique dishes in southern Xinjiang, which are delicious and have a unique general flavor.
Ram has been a beginner for a long time, he has been practicing for ten years, but in order to keep up with his practice, he has not eaten such a delicious meal for a while.
No matter what the two sides had behind their backs, on the surface, this banquet was very effective and enjoyable.
Xue Mingjin stood up, turned his back, and said to Ram, "Senior brother, the old memories between you and me should end here. ”
Xue Mingjin opened the side door of the palace, and Ram followed.
After a while, the two of them came to a pavilion.
This pavilion is built with extremely precious paulownia silk wood and large pieces of blue bricks and stones, not only are carved dragons and phoenixes, but also built extremely exquisitely. And it is about 20 zhang high, which is obviously a lot taller than other buildings.
And there was a row of guards standing in front of the huge temple gate, and it was obvious that no one else was allowed to approach it casually.
Not only that, Ram also found vaguely obscure spiritual power fluctuations near the pavilion.
Ram's heart moved, and he performed the Heavenly Eye Technique, and then looked at the pavilion.
As a result, not far away, Ram saw a faint white light, and the entire pavilion was covered in a milky white light film, as if it was held by a huge white porcelain bowl.
"Senior brother, where are we going?"
Xue Mingjin didn't reply, first walked forward and said a few words to the guard guarding the door, and the guard waved his hand and signaled that they could go in.
The white light dissipated, just right, leaving an aisle large enough for the two to pass side by side.
So, Xue Mingjin hurriedly greeted Ram.
"This is where our Ziwei Star Palace stores the spirit tablets."
Together, as soon as the two of them entered the temple gate, Ram felt much cooler.
He followed in Xue Mingjin's footsteps and entered the deepest part of the room.
The ground here is empty, and the bluestone walls are inlaid with countless tokens, each of which is different in color from low to high, but they all have one thing in common, the token will have a person's name engraved on it.
Xue Mingjin pointed to the highest place, where there was an eight-sided and eight-cornered groove.
"Senior brother, if you put the spirit card into it, you will be suspended here. The sect will also know that you have taken up your post, and your identity record will be changed accordingly. ”
Ram listened and took out the purple token. Zhenyuan wrapped it around it and flew with it like a balloon.
The token was embedded in the wall, and the surface suddenly shone brightly. With the disappearance of the purple light, the word palace master on the front of the token also became Ram's name.
Since then, Ram has been suspended in the Ziwei Star Palace and can receive a salary. Although it is a fictitious position, the resources are real. As long as you follow the steps and cultivate to the Jindan, there will be no shortage of resources. This is the genius of the Yuanlian party like Ram, and it has its own preferential treatment.
There was silence for a long time.
"Senior brother, junior brother, I have something I can't talk about." Ram spoke suddenly, but with a slurred voice.
"Humph! You and I, you are my father's own disciples, and you are from the same family, and you are like my brother. What not to say? Xue Mingjin said with a smile.
"Nothing like that!" Ram said in his mouth, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, they are like brothers, and the relationship between the two is definitely not like this. In this life, the two have only met twice, and he said these words shamelessly, this person is really clever.
Ram handed the Fu Bao Fire Thunder Sword to Xue Mingjin, and conveyed the news that the master's fierce thunder Dao life was running out, and replaced words with actions.
This move is worth a thousand words, the moment Xue Mingjin saw Fu Bao, he understood what had happened, and his heart was full of sadness and bitterness.
Although he had known this, he had expected the news. According to the rules of the door, the elders can only pass on the mantle if they are close to the longevity.
But there is still a little bit in his heart, which is difficult to accept. Xue Mingjin's fingers trembled slightly, and his momentum unconsciously leaked a little.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became solemn, and the air in the room flowed in Xue Mingjin's chaotic aura, and it was about to turn into a violent wind. Xue Mingjin finally came back to his senses, and he withdrew the spiritual pressure.
"Senior brother, I see that the breath on your body is still unstable, I'm afraid it won't be long before you break through the foundation! This is my greeting gift to you. He suddenly took out a wooden box and said in a concerned tone, "You are cultivating the top exercises in the sect, and the elixirs in it are all helpful to increase the true yuan, I hope it will help you condense the natal lotus." ”
At this moment, Xue Mingjin's way of changing the topic was really deliberate, but Ram did not expose it to comfort him.
On the contrary, Ram calmly looked at Xue Mingjin and took the wooden box with a flat face, as if nothing had happened just now.
He said, "Thank you for your care." ”
"It's getting late, I'll ask Shi Yi to help you later." Xue Mingjin already had the intention of sending off guests.
Ram got the benefit and had no intention of lingering. After recruiting Shi Yi, Ram followed him and chose a place to live.
The night is getting darker, and the spring moon is like a bow.
The moonlight was rich, with only a few thin white clouds like brushes brushed by a brush, as if covering the crescent moon with a faint veil.
Shi Yi pushed the door in, and the courtyard was bathed in a thin veil of light, mysterious and quiet, beautiful.
"That's right. You've had a fight with them, how are they doing? Xue Mingjin asked, sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard.
Shi Yi's face was solemn, he knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Heavenly wealth! The strength and I are only between the equal, and in time, he will definitely surpass me. ”
Oh, to get such a high rating from you? Xue Mingjin was a little surprised.
Shi Yi nodded and continued: "Although I released water during the battle, Lord Ram's fighting talent is extremely strong, his observation of the battle situation is extremely keen, and he is still a single spirit root......
Xue Mingjin said with a smile: "But Shi Yi, you must know that Shan Linggen is just a talent, and it does not represent everything. Shi Yi, although you are the dark spirit root of the mutation of the twin spirit roots, you are the deacon of my Ziwei Star Palace. Over the years, I don't know if life or death have been against our Ziwei Star Palace, how many single spirit roots have died in your hands? Hehe, you are the best proof of this. ”
In ordinary sects, it is a big deal to have a single spirit root.
But for the Yuanlian Sect, although the single spirit root is important, it is also very common.
First, because the land territory of the Yuanlian Sect is vast, and there are hundreds of billions of mortals under the rule of the sect, so there are many disciples. Second, casual cultivation can be recruited, and casual cultivation that can stand out from the martial arts arena must have good qualifications. Thirdly, it is the Yuanlian Sect that is rich like a mountain, and it is fully capable of purchasing or refining pills and treasures to improve qualifications.
"Thanks to the praise of the adults, the subordinates dare not be ashamed." Shi Yi humbly sighed and continued, "My subordinates also know this truth, so they are even more convinced that this son is definitely not a thing in the pool. ”
Xue Mingjin couldn't help but be moved by his evaluation of Ram.
Although he said that he did not despise Ram before, he had not yet taken Ram, a foundation-building monk, in his eyes, but when he heard Shi Yi say this, he couldn't help but be interested.
"Shi Yi, you have followed me for so many years, and I trust your vision. But you don't need to be presumptuous, you are constrained by your lack of qualifications. Otherwise, with your talent, your cultivation will be even more outstanding than it is now. You don't have to worry about it, if there is a Tsukidan in the future, I will help you stay. Xue Mingjin said.
Shi Yi was suddenly moved and his eyes were red: "The grace of the adult's cultivation is unforgettable for the subordinates!" ”
"Well, I, Xue Mingjin, will never treat anyone who faithfully follows me badly. You go down, continue to entertain him these days, and find out what Ram thinks of me Xue Mingjin. Let's see if we can solicit it."
"Yes, my subordinates have orders!"
Building a foundation can make monks build a foundation and be reborn, but it is difficult to find a pill. The reason why it is difficult for the scattered cultivators in southern Xinjiang to become a climate is because the number of high-level monks is scarce, and most of them do not even have a foundation.
The difficulty of refining Zhuji Dan is not high, but the key raw materials are firmly grasped by the major sects, and even if there is an outflow, they will be recovered by the major sects together. Every year, the high-priced Zhuji Dan circulating in the market in southern Xinjiang is released after consultation among the major sects.
Shi Yi has entered the path of cultivation too late, and his spiritual root cannot be changed, but he still has a child, who is also a dual spiritual root, but as long as there is a Zhuji Dan, he will definitely go further than him in the future.
As for the secret medicine for refining the spiritual root, there are naturally some in this world, but how to get such a treasure as Shi Yi, it is difficult for Jindan monks to find a medicine.
