Chapter 5: Submission
The old man glanced at Xu Xian and the others, did not show any panicked looks, and still looked calm fishing.
Wu Yulian walked to the old man's side in a few steps, looked at it carefully, and said softly: "Hello old man, we are here to dig herbs, do you know where there are many herbs nearby? ”
The old man glanced at Wu Yulian, ignored her, and continued to sit there fishing, Wu Yulian glanced at Xu Xian, revealing an embarrassed smile.
Xu Xian came to the old man's side and said to Wu Yulian: "You have to promise that you can't dig up the herbs and exterminate them, so that the old man is willing to tell you where there is King San, right, Uncle San?"
The latter words were whispered to the old man, who originally planned to continue to ignore the two, but when he heard the words of the king and uncle, the old man suddenly had a spirit, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, when digging herbs, you must not break the roots, and you can continue to dig in the next year, if you dig out the extinct seeds, you will not have to dig in the future." ”
Xu Xian showed a wicked smile and said unhurriedly: "Where are the best herbs? ”
The old man hurriedly pointed in one direction: "Go over there and find it, there should be a lot of herbs." ”
"Don't rush away, I still have something to say to you, hehe, if you go, the consequences will be very serious, I know that you have two thousand years of Taoism. ”
Xu Xian lowered his voice and said quickly, and then said to Wu Yulian not far away: "Senior sister, the old man said, if you go more than ten zhang ahead, you can see the herbs, there are a lot of them, you go dig first, and I will talk to the old man for a few words." ”
Wu Yulian said with an unhappy face: "I came to teach you how to dig herbs, but you let me dig alone? Hmph, when you go back, you must tell Uncle Shi and let Uncle Shi criticize you well." ”
Seeing Wu Yulian walking forward helplessly, Xu Xian turned around and sat down, grabbed a dog's tail and kept fiddling.
The old man's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he said coldly: "Little brother, who are you?
Xu Xian lay down on the ground, biting the dog's tail grass, and said lightly: "All creatures in heaven and earth, which one has no heels? As long as there is, there is naturally a way to find out, right?
Ziyun Dragon Ginseng's face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Say, what are you going to do? ”
Xu Xian glanced at Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng, and said with a chuckle: "You have been practicing for more than two thousand years, and you still can't rank in the Immortal Class, do you know why? Forget it, it's too early to tell you now, and even if you rank in the Immortal Class, do you think it is the end of your cultivation? Can you achieve the so-called transcendence?"
The Purple Yun Dragon King's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Do you know why I didn't rank in the Immortal Class?"
Xu Xian said: "Of course I know, it's that the sea of merit is not perfect, but now there are variables, and didn't you hear what I said later? Even if you are in the immortal class, what do you think those real immortals will think of you?"
"What else can you think of me? Naturally, I'm a fellow believer. ”
The Purple Yun Dragon King is a little arrogant, after all, he has practiced for more than 2,000 years, and his Taoism is extremely profound, and he has already passed the thunder tribulation, and he can soar to the immortal class by day if his merits are complete.
Xu Xian said disdainfully: "Even if you are in the immortal class, you are just a spirit immortal, a demon immortal cultivated by the grass and tree elves, and you are still a little different, after becoming an immortal, becoming an immortal ginseng, the effect is even more, and you will definitely be invited by the top forces to make offerings, and then you are responsible for providing them with your unique immortal blood every day to help them refine the elixir." ”
The Purple Yun Dragon King was immediately annoyed and angry, and roared in a low voice: "You are talking nonsense, everyone in the fairy world is equal, everyone is immortal, everyone lives in harmony, and everyone is self-sufficient, how can there be such a dirty fight?"
"At that time, you are no longer the king of ginseng, but the immortal ginseng, in the mortal world you are at most the king of ginseng, which is beneficial to ordinary people and monks, and when you reach the immortal world, you are the immortal ginseng, if you go through all kinds of calamities, you become the king of immortal ginseng, it is also effective for the diseases of the immortals, what do you say they will do? . ”
"Besides, is it true that after becoming an immortal, will you be immortal? Then why does the Taishang Dao Ancestor still refine the elixir for the immortals? Why does the Queen Mother still hold a peach banquet? Do you have nothing to do when you are idle?"
Seeing that the Purple Yun Dragon King was annoyed and angry, he was still lying on the ground, talking unhurriedly, without even looking at the other party.
Seeing Xu Xian so relaxed, and thinking about Xu Xian's words, he was finally a little scared.
"You...... You, what the hell are you going to do?"
Xu Xian looked at the other party in surprise and said, "What do I want? What can I do? ”
"And what do you mean by what you just said?"
"It's not interesting, it's just to tell you a truth, the secular world is like this, and the immortal world is no better, you don't want to think about it, aren't the immortals cultivated by ordinary beings?
Xu Xian's words stunned the Ziyun Dragon King, the originally firm look in his eyes began to slacken, and his firm Dao heart was broken by Xu Xian's words, the imaginary beautiful fairy world was no different from the world by Xu Xian, so what is the point of going to the fairy world? The dream is completely shattered, and without a goal, it will naturally become a salted fish.
"What is it that I have been cultivating for more than 2,000 years to survive the thunderstorm?"
"What do you think it's for?"
"I don't know, although I can't see through you, but I know that you are also a cultivator, what is the purpose of your cultivation?"
Sam King's eyes were still a little glazed, and he asked mechanically.
"That's a good question, what is the purpose of my cultivation? Detachment, true detachment, true freedom, living the life you want to live, not being bound by anyone, this is the purpose of my cultivation, but it is difficult, it is countless times more difficult than what you want to be in the immortal class. ”
"Detachment? real detachment? Isn't it really detachment to rank in the immortal class?"
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, does your neighbor have a rabbit essence?"
King Sam's eyes recovered instantly, and he looked at Xu Xian vigilantly and said, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Xian said: "Don't do anything, I just want to tell you, wasn't that jade rabbit already ranked in the immortal class?
Looking at King Sam's ever-changing face, he continued: "You are in the immortal class today, will you be demoted to the mortal world again tomorrow and cultivate again for two thousand years? Or will you be directly captive and help people provide immortal blood alchemy?"
King Sam's expression was gloomy and almost dripping water, his whole body kept trembling, Xu Xian still continued: "You should also have heard that there are countless strange flowers and plants in the heavenly realm, but they are all banned, they can't cultivate and transform shapes, and can only provide immortals with divine fruits and immortal products, are you better than them? Those strange flowers and plants, many of them are xenomorphs that have existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and they are not kept in captivity?"
King Sam looked up at the sky, sighed and said, "You say, what do you want me to do?"
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, looked up and down carefully at Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng, and said in disbelief: "What do I want you to do?" You're not kidding, I'm just an ordinary person, what can I let you do?"
Seeing King Sam looking at him coldly, Xu Xian smiled and said, "Okay, it's actually nothing, in a few days, I plan to open a pharmacy, and you come to work in my pharmacy...... Well, help, take care of me, how about it?"
"Why am I helping you?"
"Because I can bring you to true transcendence, believe it or not. ”
"True detachment? More at ease than the immortals? True jumping out of the Three Realms is not in the Five Elements?"
"Yes, sit and watch the great thousand lives and perish, sit firmly on the immortal platform, let the reincarnation of heaven and earth, I will not move. ”
Xu Xian's words made King Shen's heart tremble, what does it mean to sit and watch the great thousand lives and perish, and sit firmly on the immortal platform? What is it to let heaven and earth reincarnate, and I will not move? Who dares to say such big words?
"This is what you call true detachment? Aren't immortals also ant-like beings in your eyes?"
"In the eyes of the truly detached, the world is like a dream bubble, and the reincarnation of heaven and earth is only an instant, born with death, and born with destruction. ”
"By the way, you have practiced for more than 2,000 years, and your family background should not be thin, give me some Taiyi Gold Essence, Five Elements Gold Essence or Five Elements Divine Iron. ”
King Sam casually took out a piece of metal in the shape of a three-foot-long, thick end and thin mallet and threw it to Xu Xian, but he didn't speak anymore, because he felt that this person was either a complete madman or a cultivator with real ability, and there was absolutely no third possibility.
Xu Xian put away the metal and didn't continue to speak, he didn't think there was any need to say anything, as long as King Sam thought carefully, he would make the choice he wanted.
"Senior brother, senior brother, come here, there are really a lot of herbs here, come and help." ”
Wu Yulian suddenly exclaimed, her voice full of surprise.
Xu Xian didn't pay attention to King Ginseng anymore, got up and walked towards Wu Yulian, and Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng disappeared at some point.
Soon the two of them picked two baskets of medicinal herbs, and Wu Yulian said with a smile: "Thanks to the old man just now, let's go over and thank them, right?"
Xu Xian said: "The old man is already gone, it's not early, we should go back, back to the city, it's almost dark." ”
Wu Yulian looked up at the sky, the sun began to fall in the west, the clouds on the horizon were plated with a layer of gold, the afterglow was sprinkled on the earth, there was a piece of Huang Tongtong everywhere, the distant mountains were like daisies, and the beauties were like jade, but unfortunately Xu Xian's mind was not here.
"Senior brother, look, the scenery is so beautiful, let's see if we'll go back again, right?" Wu Yulian has her own little abacus and doesn't want to go back too early.
Xu Xian didn't want to go back late, he had just gotten the essence of hardware, and he just went back to try refining weapons, at least he had to refine a flying sword first.
He hurriedly said: "The old man just said that there are really demons and monsters on this mountain, especially at night, I like to come out to do evil, if it is troublesome, let's go back early, you see the sun is about to go down, and it will be dark in a while." ”
Hearing the demons and monsters, Wu Yulian no longer insisted, picked up the medicine basket, followed behind Xu Xian, and walked quickly down the mountain.
Not far from them just now, Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng looked at Xu Xian who was slowly disappearing with a cold expression.
"What is the origin of this person? Based on my Taoism, I can't even deduce any information about him, and I can't tell the depth of his cultivation? Detachment? A true detachment? Is there really such a thing? How should I make a decision? Did I really not make a choice? But did I make the right choice?"
"Uncle San, why are you stunned here? What's wrong?"
A delicate woman's voice came from the grass, and then a white rabbit ran out of the grass, staring at the stunned Ziyun Dragon Ginseng with a pair of red eyes.
"Little rabbit, hehehe, it's okay, I just met a strange young man, a very interesting person, okay, go back and continue to cultivate." ”
Seeing the rabbit, Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng remembered Xu Xian's words just now, is it true that ranking in the immortal class is truly transcendent, is it the end of cultivation?
After subduing the Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng, Xu Xian was in a very good mood, and by the way, he also asked for a ginseng beard, only one ginseng of the Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng, and in one night, he could make Li Gongfu's ass completely intact.
The most important thing is that he has also obtained a piece of gold essence, and he can try to refine a flying sword.
