In addition to cultivation, Li Shuidao was in charge of managing the affairs of Tianchi Fang, and regularly met with Ding Yufeng at the Demon Cliff for a few days. In addition to physical communication, they also discuss cultivation and important matters of the sect.

As a descendant of a big family, Ding Yufeng's knowledge is much higher than that of Li Shuidao, and although the two are comparable in cultivation, she has a deeper understanding of cultivation.

There are three levels of Rong Ling Realm monks:

In the initial stage, the mana is fused: the cultivator can absorb the mana from the same ginseng and make his own mana merge with it.

In the middle stage, the Dao Dharma merges: the practitioner can absorb the Dao Dharma from the same ginseng, enhance the power of his Dao Dharma, and make it compatible with it.

In the later stages, the Dharma-body merges: the practitioner can control everything that is in the same senses, including the Dharmakaya of the same staff.

Ding Yufeng pointed out that the purpose of cultivation is not simply to merge with the same ginseng, but only to fuse the appearance. The real purpose is "control".

The cultivation of the Rong Spirit Realm is to accommodate, not to fuse.

Tolerate the high to the low, the strong to tolerate the weak, and the big to accommodate the small.

Monks with large co-staff usually choose the Dharma-Body Fusion, because this can actually increase their combat power, such as the monks of the Bihai Gate or the Condor Gate, they generally have a large Co-staff, and once the Dharmakaya is fused, the combat power will be greatly increased.

And small co-stools, or even instrumentalized co-stools, do not need to be fused with the Dharma body, because even if they are fused, they cannot improve their combat power, and the Fa-body fusion is meaningless.

Li Shuidao's jade toad has been miniaturized, and Xia Ruoxue's white bone demon knife has been instrumentalized, so there is no need for law body fusion.

In addition, Ding Yufeng gave Li Shuidao the first half of "Immortal Toad Qi".

"Immortal Toad Qi" is divided into two parts: Taiyin and Swallowing Heaven.

Although Li Shuidao has obtained the complete "Immortal Toad Qi", he can't tell anyone, even Ding Yufeng. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he lied that he had only practiced "Jade Toad Xingqigong".

Ding Yufeng personally found the exercises for him in the first half of "Immortal Toad Qi".

In this way, the source of Li Shuidao's exercises had a reasonable explanation, saving him the trouble he might encounter in the future.

Li Shuidao is not afraid of owing Ding Yufeng favors, he knows that the more Ding Yufeng pays, the deeper the relationship between them will be.

Of course, the relationship is always mutual, and if you want to maintain this relationship for a long time, then Li Shuidao must also pay.

However, Ding Yufeng is the refining master of the Ding family, and her own private treasury contains amazing wealth.

Li Shuidao can only repay her kindness in another way......

……

Huangni Village.

A golden rice field stretches into the distance, and the ears of rice are bent over, as if to pay tribute to the earth.

The sun shines on the field, reflecting the smiling face of the girl, who is thirteen years old, running carefree in the field, enjoying freedom and happiness.

Suddenly, a person shouted loudly: "Jin Qiao, go back to eat!" ”

Jin Qiao stopped, turned around and ran in the direction of home.

Jin Qiao's home is in the village, and a small courtyard is surrounded by a wall, and the courtyard is filled with a strong pastoral atmosphere.

There are many people in the family, brothers and sisters huddle together, and every day is full of laughter.

The rice with white flowers, the fragrant bacon, today's lunch is extraordinarily rich, and it is golden to see it.

The eldest brother, the second, third, and fourth brothers all couldn't wait to gather around the table, vying for the delicious food. They pushed and shoved each other, and laughter and shouting filled the courtyard.

Jin Qiao is small, where can she rob the four eldest brothers, but there are four pieces of bacon in her bowl, which were given to her by the four elder brothers.

Picking up the rice in the bowl and chewing the fragrant bacon, Jin Qiao felt extremely happy and sweet......

Night......

Jin Qiao, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, and she faintly heard her mother's cry.

Jin Qiao's heart tightened, she got up cautiously and walked lightly to her parents' door.

Through the sparse wooden door, Jin Qiao saw his parents sitting on the edge of the bed, their faces full of worry and exhaustion.

The mother cried and said: "Jin Qiao is only thirteen years old and has not grown, how can he get married?" ”

The father was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "Jin Qiao must get married, leaving only the eldest and second to do farm work at home, inherit our family's farmland, and provide for us in old age." The third and fourth children had to be sent to the city to work, and if no one collected it, they would open up the wasteland at home. The children have grown up, the amount of food is getting bigger and bigger, and the food is almost exhausted. ”

The mother wiped her tears: "Can you send Jinqiao to the city too?" ”

The father was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Tomorrow, I will ask Senior Brother Xue to see if I can send Jin Qiao to the city to be a maid." ”

Jin Qiao overheard the conversation between her parents, and she silently returned to her bedroom and did not sleep all night.

Early the next morning, a businessman named Xue Kangfu came to Jin Qiao's house.

He was dressed in a sumptuous silk robe with a shrewd smile on his face.

The couple warmly welcomed him, and they hoped that Xue Kangfu would take Jin Qiao and her two brothers to the city in search of a better livelihood.

Xue Kangfu looked at Jin Qiao and his two elder brothers with a satisfied face, and promised: "Jin Qiao is so well-behaved and beautiful, he will definitely become the maid of a big family." As for the two little brothers, I will do my best to find suitable work for them so that they can support themselves. ”

"Brother Xue...... Then bother you. Father Jin reluctantly handed out a package, which was the thirty copper coins saved by the family, and it was also the entanglement of the three children on the road.

Xue Kangfu took the bag, felt the heavy copper coins in the bag, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Jin Qiao and his two brothers were sent away, and when they walked out of the village, their faces still blank.

Village.

"Dad, mother." Jin Qiao pounced on his parents, and the whole family cried.

Their eyes were full of reluctance......

In the end, Xue Kangfu took Jin Qiao, Jin Fu and Jin Qiang out of Huangni Village and embarked on a journey to the unknown.

Jin Qiao held the handkerchief given to her by her parents tightly, and her heart was full of thoughts of her family.

Shenmu City.

A city inhabited by the legendary Xiuxian family.

Jin Qiao clearly felt that the air here was different from other places, but she couldn't tell the specifics. She looked around and saw that the walls were towering, and the quaint buildings exuded an air of mystery.

Jin Qiao's two brothers, Jin Fu and Jin Qiang, were sent to the dart bureau by Xue Fukang and became two workers, if they do a good job, the two of them may become dart masters in the future and have a lot of income.

Now only Jin Qiao is left.

Just when she was looking forward to going to a big family to be a maid.

Xue Kangfu took her to Fireworks Willow Lane.

Ask Hualou.

This is a green building.

The old bustard gave Xue Kangfu a gold coin, and Xue Kangfu blew a puff and turned to leave.

"Uncle Xue, this is not a big family to be a maid!" Jin Qiao yelled loudly, she finally understood that she had been deceived, but unfortunately it was useless, and the two strong men carried Jin Qiao into a dark room.

It was a firewood house.

The door is locked.

It is a firewood house.

The firewood room was dim and damp, and several women who had also been sold sat quietly in the corner, their eyes revealing fear and uneasiness about the future.

I don't know how long it took......

The door of the firewood room was suddenly pushed open, and Jin Qiao looked up to see a young girl in gorgeous clothes walking in. Her eyes were bright, she carried an exaggerated knife on her back, and the fierce old bustard looked respectful beside her.

Her gaze swept over all the women in the firewood room, and finally stopped on Jin Qiao's body. She pointed at Jin Qiao and said, "This woman is okay." ”

Then she gave the old bustard a jade coin, and Jin Qiao was taken away.

Jin Qiao was placed in a large family, and the door read Shenmu City Li Clan.

Here, she doesn't have to do anything but study every day. The food is exquisite and tasty, and life is carefree.

There are also many girls in this big family who were bought by Zhao Ling'er like Jin Qiao, and they were arranged in a large courtyard and lived together every day.

The girl who brought them here was called Zhao Ling'er, and she would go in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane every day, and almost every time she would bring back a girl as old as herself.

Every morning, a maid will come to teach them how to wash, how to take care of it, and how to salute when they see the host's house......

There was also a private school teacher who taught them how to read and write, and they sat together and read aloud......

Jin Qiao and the other girls studied very seriously.

The learning content is very heavy, especially in terms of words, but fortunately, everyone is a child from a poor background, and every girl reads late at night......

In this comfortable environment, Jin Qiao got to know a group of sisters and sisters, and everyone got along well. They share their joys and sorrows together, and support and help each other.

They all thought that they were about to become the maids of a big family, and they were the kind of maids who knew how to learn.

About a year later......

Zhao Ling'er followed a mysterious woman in a black silk dress to this magnificent compound.

The woman in black exuded a suffocating aura of terror, and even though she was smiling, Jin Qiao felt a sense of oppression.

"This is Zhaoyi." Zhao Linger introduced loudly.

The maids in the courtyard lined up neatly and bowed to the woman in black.

Xia Ruoxue nodded with satisfaction.

"Ling'er, you've worked hard this year."

"It is an honor for an apprentice to share the sorrows and joys of the teacher." Zhao Ling'er replied respectfully.

"Yes, now we can teach them to practice. However, we are cultivating masters of the Dark Hall, not cultivating a group of maids, and cultivating the first and most important nature. Now it's time for them to understand the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and if they can't withstand the test, they will be sent back to the Qinglou. Xia Ruoxue said coldly.

A look of determination flashed in Zhao Ling'er's eyes, and she understood what Shizun meant.

Tianchi Fang Dark Hall is a descendant organization that completely obeys the orders of the master Xia Ruoxue and the owner Li Shuidao, for which the master has devoted a lot of effort, every member must be strictly screened, and only those who can stand the test can obtain a steady stream of cultivation resources......
