Chapter 8: Sense of Urgency
On the third day, Ye Chen came to the fair again with the made spiritual liquid.
There was a lot of Ascending Spirit Grass in his hand, so he simply went to buy some containers and made twenty bottles at once, almost completely emptying the inventory in his hand.
The fair only lasted three days, and he deliberately chose the last day to come, just to be able to avoid leaving his hands and tails and reduce the possibility of being noticed.
When the trade fair is over, he doesn't plan to sell spiritual liquid at will, you must know that when he goes to Zongmen Square, he is not good to wear the same black clothes and black mask as he does now......
That's even more striking, putting the cart before the horse.
Twenty bottles of spiritual liquid, Ye Chen traveled throughout the venue, successively sold them all through several stalls, and finally got his first fortune on the road of cultivating immortals - thirty-six lower-grade spirit stones.
These spirit stones are colorful and have different attributes, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they contain a lot of spiritual energy.
Although the aura content is far inferior to Ye Chen's self-made spiritual liquid, the aura of the spirit stone is milder and easier to absorb, and can be used to restore mana or assist in cultivation.
And there are many other uses, it can be said to be the hard currency of the immortal cultivation world, and it can even play the role of a currency.
On the third day, the fair was even larger, with more people in disguise mixed in.
Along the way, Ye Chen discovered many new disciples who had met before.
There seemed to be a lot of unlucky people like him in it, trying to get the Spirit Ascension Grass, or other things that increased the survival rate of the Spirit Grass, such as Spirit Spring Water.
According to Li Meng, the newly entered disciples at the bottom of the ranking basically received the task of planting the Ascension Grass.
Thinking carefully about the large number of spirit pills that the sect has to distribute every year, the source of the raw materials for these pills should be handed over by the disciples of the outer sect who specialize in cultivating spirit grass.
The predecessors of these disciples are not the disciples who are at the bottom of the rankings......
Does this count as wool coming from sheep?
……
Thirty-six spirit stones, you can buy a high-quality medium-grade magic weapon, or several dozen powerful fire bomb talismans.
But within a few hours, they gave Ye Chen almost the flowers.
What exactly to buy, he had a draft before he came.
He bought a little bit of several pills that were more suitable for the early stage of qi refining, and the prices were not cheap.
According to the practice of the immortal cultivation world, there are six pills in a bottle by default.
A bottle of the Ascending Elixir for cultivation is worth six spirit stones, and a bottle of the Replenishing Elixir for restoring mana is worth four spirit stones.
Considering that there was no need to go out at the moment, he only bought two pills of the Rejuvenation Pill and got two spirit stones.
In addition, a set of jade boxes and utensils that I don't know what spirit jade is made of, and have the effect of isolating spiritual energy for a long time, are worth ten spirit stones.
And some miscellaneous stuff.
The spirit stones he had just earned, before he had time to take a second look, they were all gone.
It is said that consumption will make people feel better, and Ye Chen found that this is indeed the case.
The pain of spending the spirit stone and the joy of buying something good are intertwined...... Pain and joy.
But it's definitely a little bit happier.
Unfortunately, the joy didn't last long.
Soon, something bad happened that ruined his mood for the whole day.
As a "senior" who basically had a way to solve the tasks of the sect, Ye Chen was originally not interested in what these unlucky people who had received the same tasks as him were doing at the same time.
But just now, when he passed by a stall specializing in selling spiritual grass, he found that in front of the stall owner, there was a female disciple who he had some impressions of.
That female disciple seems to be from a big family, and she looks a little good, and after coming to the Immortal Sect, she also wears gold and jade, and she is usually even more arrogant, and she looks down on Ye Chen, a poor man from a farmer's background.
Everyone only got along for a few days, and although Ye Chen had never had a conflict with each other, he was also deeply impressed.
But what he didn't expect was that the invincible female disciple was leaning on the stall owner's arms at this time.
The male stall owner also rubbed oil on her body twice from time to time, looking very intimate, which made many other female disciples around avoid this place in disgust.
It is clear that there is a special relationship between the two men.
It was said that it was a small bird, but in fact, when he looked closely, he found that there were many bruises and scars on the female disciple's neck and wrists.
She seems to have cried recently, and her eyes are so red and swollen that she can still see the traces.
And he didn't react to these oil rubs, and he looked completely numb.
How did a female disciple who was above the top of her eyes become like this in more than a month...... Even if Ye Chen no longer understands the world, he can think of the main reason.
It's nothing more than the Ascension Grass.
This female disciple probably received the same task as him, and was finally forced to embark on this road.
Thinking of the struggles of those new disciples who had been seen at the trade fair in the past few days, Ye Chen's mood at this time was not good.
Twenty Ascending Spirit Grasses, full of things worth forty spirit stones, this is not too much of a problem for him now.
There are still two months left before the task of handing over the sect, and he can make up this number casually.
Not to mention, those seeds of his had already been planted, and by the time the rain transformation technique cultivation was completed, he should be able to grow enough Spirit Ascension Grass.
However, for these new disciples whose cultivation is only one level of Qi refining, has no background, and may not even know how to use a spell, it is undoubtedly a huge burden.
If there is no backstage, it means that there is no assistance.
The strength is low, and he can't spell, and he can't even find a way to earn spirit stones.
It's a dead end.
This is the first time Ye Chen has personally felt the cruelty and sinister of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, although it is through someone else's body.
Even within the Qingyun Sect, such a situation will happen.
Weak outer disciples are oppressed and bullied.
It is conceivable that outside of the Qingyun Sect, what kind of scene will it be in the larger world of immortal cultivation?
Eat people without spitting out bones.
Ye Chen asked himself, if he didn't have a golden finger and his qualifications were not good, what should he do when he handed in the sect task in March?
Either that, or give up half of the ration, but this also means giving up hope for further progress - three Ascending Pills a month is not enough for people at all.
If you fail to complete the task for more than half a year, then you don't even have a ration.
Without the monthly ration support of the sect, it is impossible to go far on this road just by relying on the poor qualifications of the bottom of the sect.
Or, just find a way to leave the sect and become a free but helpless casual cultivator.
But the likelihood of repairing to go further is even lower.
- But either way, there's a good chance it won't end well.
Turning his head and walking quickly out of the scope of the stall, Ye Chen suddenly felt that something was appearing in his heart, telling himself that things should not be like this.
Today, this female disciple can give up his dignity for twenty spiritual ascension grasses or something, and tomorrow, will he be able to lose something else for some other reason?
No, it shouldn't be like this!
The immortal cultivation in my imagination shouldn't be like this!
Could it be that poor qualifications and weakness will suffer such a fate?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, his mind had already become a mess, Ye Chen shook his head, and barely calmed down.
I can't say why, but at this moment, his sense of urgency to improve his cultivation realm is unprecedentedly strong.
