Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 231 Three Silver Tickets
The reason why the major sects can stand in the world for hundreds or even thousands of years without falling is inseparable from their wealth, in addition to the many fields and industries under their names, and then there are their own "crafts". Taking Qingwei Sect as an example, its sword-casting skills are unique in the world, and six or seven out of ten famous swords in the world are all from the sword furnace of the sect. Or take Tianle Sect as an example, just a "Tianle Paradise", it can be called a cornucopia, even if Bai Mei Niang closes the "Tianle Paradise" and closes the door to avoid disasters, the silver money it has accumulated is enough to make Tianle Sect worry-free for a hundred years.
Other sects also have their own ways, and some of them make a living from alchemy.
Li Xuandu wants to refine the "Five Qi True Pill", and he must be personally shot by an alchemy master, and there are two choices, namely Shenxiao Sect and Donghua Sect, but considering that he and Shenxiao Sect formed a relationship not long ago, he still prefers Donghua Sect. Speaking of which, there were originally a few "Aoki Jade Flower Pills" produced by Donghua Sect in his "Eighteenth Floor", which were obtained from Chen Guhong, but in order to recuperate from his injuries in the past few days, he had taken all of them. In the previous battle with Lu Yanbing, it seemed that Li Xuandu had the upper hand, but in fact, he lost face and lost his heart, and he was seriously injured inside, but these injuries did not come from Lu Yanbing, but more from the "human world" itself.
Daomen is known as the four mountains and two islands, and the four mountains have the saying of "two heavens and two Tai", which are the four immortal mountains of Daomen, namely: Tianshi Mountain of Zhengyi Sect, Taihe Mountain of Shenxiao Sect, Taiping Mountain of Taiping Sect, and Tiancang Mountain of Miaozhen Sect. The two islands are Penglai Island in the East China Sea of the Qing Wei Sect, legend has it that there was a Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun preaching here, and the South China Sea Putuo Island of the Cihang Sect, and it is involved in the confusion of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism.
Although Taiqing Mountain, where Donghuazong is located, is not listed as one of the four immortal mountains of Daomen, it is also a world-famous mountain, facing Penglai Island across the sea. If you regard each sect as a human being, unlike the murderous and domineering Qingwei Sect, the Donghua Sect has a relatively mild temperament, and it is not a first-line sect, but it can be regarded as a second-tier sect with a lot of family background, and it is good at cultivating rare and exotic herbs and refining pills, so it has excellent popularity and has no enemies of life and death. The reason why he participated in the change of the imperial capital was only because of the Qing Wei Sect, after all, the distant relatives were not as good as the close neighbors, and the Donghua Sect had been sheltered by the great power of the Qing Wei Sect for many years, so it was naturally difficult to refuse the request of the Qing Wei Sect.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Xuandu decided to go to Donghua Sect first after this incident, even if he can't refine the "Wuqi True Pill" immediately, he can also entrust Donghua Sect to help him refine the required Essence and Xuanhuang first, and after he collects the Immortal Spring and Zhu Guo, he will immediately open the furnace to refine the pill, in order to restore the realm cultivation as soon as possible.
As for the Taiping money needed, Li Xuandu is also mentally prepared, he has walked the rivers and lakes over the years and has little savings. It's really not good, you can still give up your skin and find a few rich friends to borrow one or two temporarily, not to mention far away, Zhang Luanshan and Zhang Qingque are one, and Yan Feiqing and Yan Xuanji are also one.
Then again, no matter what you do, whether you are walking the rivers and lakes, or practicing in public affairs, you can't do without the word "money", and this is especially true when it comes to army conquest or construction. Even if you hide on a certain mountain to escape the world and seek eternal life, it is still the same, and when it comes to cultivation, you pay attention to the law of wealth, and the word "wealth" is at the head, you can imagine.
Otherwise, many Jianghu scattered people can't compare to the disciples of the sect, in the final analysis, it is because of the word "poor".
Li Xuandu no longer received the official silver of the master a long time ago, but under the instruction of his master, this routine silver did not stop there, but continued to accumulate, and when Li Xuandu returned to the master in the second year of Tianbao, he had already saved a full 5,000 Taiping coins, which was converted into silver, which was 150,000 taels of silver, which was a huge amount of money.
In the past four years, Shimen officially stopped his regular silver, and instead supplied him with all kinds of news and intelligence on the rivers and lakes, plus Li Xuandu successively spent 1,000 Taiping money for his self-cultivation and various miscellaneous things, and now there are still 4,000 Taiping coins, which are divided into four parts by him, one is stored in the Taiping ticket number opened by the Taiping Sect, the so-called Taiping ticket number, which is different from the ordinary ticket number, in addition to the fact that it can be exchanged for Taiping money with silver money, it can only be used to access Taiping money, but not ordinary gold and silver. One copy was left by him in the division and handed over to the second senior brother for safekeeping. One copy is carried with you, in a grid on the "eighteenth floor". There was also one, which he exchanged for three silver tickets of 10,000 taels in case of emergency.
Along the way, Li Xuandu and Yu Qingning talked about the little girl the most, just like a parent who puts their child in the hands of his husband, and inevitably asks his husband a few words.
Although Yu Qingning is not the master of the Eight Classics, Li Xuandu, as a person from the same sect, still knows the mysteries of it. On the path of cultivation, if a person travels far away to climb a mountain, his own qualifications are physical strength, and the method taught by the master is the path. Knowing the direction, but not walking, as the sage said, "thinking without learning is perished", and it will always stand still. Among them, the apprentices are very particular, especially when the master reaches the status of the master of a sect, in addition to the first disciple who has devoted his efforts, he will only point out a clear path to the disciples, and will not start from walking, but these cannot be taught, so it falls on those adult disciples, so Li Xuandu will say that Lu Yanbing's ability is taught by him and the third child.
When it comes to Zhou Shuning, it is probably the case, the sect master of the Xuannu Sect will not teach her like helping a child to walk, many things have to be taught by Yu Qingning, the senior sister, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is half of Zhou Shuning's master.
Since Yu Qingning is not suitable for seeing the sun now, the three of them stayed in Hongnong County for half a day, and when it was almost dusk, while the city gate was not closed, the three of them planned to leave Hongnong County, and happened to meet an old man who was about to close the stall, and there were still a few rock sugar gourds on the grass and wood sticks on his shoulders that had not been sold, Li Xuan gave the little girl three copper coins and asked her to buy a string of sugar gourds, and then only he and Yu Qingning were left waiting side by side on the side of the road.
Li Xuandu took out an envelope sealed with fire paint from the "eighteenth floor", handed it to Yu Qingning, and said: "There are three silver tickets with a denomination of 10,000 taels of silver, which are the Tianyuan ticket number of Dijing, the Dongsheng ticket number of Jiangzhou, and the Jinxi ticket number of Jinzhou, all of which can be withdrawn immediately for 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Yu Qingning didn't pick it up immediately, and frowned: "Zifu, this is underestimating our Xuannu Sect?"
Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "The Xuannu Sect does not lack these 30,000 taels of silver, so these silver are not for the Xuannu Sect, but for Shuning." This girl has a hard life, she has no parents at a young age, her home has been raided, and she is helpless, so I thought about giving her something, I thought about it for a long time, instead of sending something like something like missing, she can't eat or drink, but it is better to give her some money, and if she sees something she likes in the future, she will not be embarrassed. ”
Yu Qingning's expression softened slightly, but he still didn't reach out to pick it up: "In the future, Shuning will become a disciple of our Xuannu Sect, and there will be a case of silver every month, so there is no need for the Purple Mansion to break the cost so much." ”
"It's not the same. Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "The case silver of the Xuannu Sect is one thing, and what I give is another thing, the more silver, the better, and it doesn't mean that I don't have to give it to you Xuannu Sect, the case silver of the Xuannu Sect should be given or given, this is what Shuning deserves, but my silver is extra." ”
Yu Qingning finally reached out and took the envelope and asked, "What about the Purple Mansion? It costs a lot of silver to refine the 'Five Qi True Pill'. ”
Li Xuandu said with a smile: "Bo has savings, don't worry." ”
Only then did Yu Qingning put the envelope into the jade bracelet on his wrist, and said softly: "It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world, Zifu is not a father, but it is better than a father." ”
