20. On the road
It's really mosquito meat! Lu Bowen looked at the pitiful two lower-grade spirit stones in his hand, he refused in his heart, but the seniors said that they looked down on people if they didn't accept them, so they had to reluctantly accept them.
That is to say, the location of Qili County is too remote to be rich, but even so, the resources obtained every year are still surplus in addition to supplying the sect, and they can afford to buy some low-end elixirs that prolong life or replenish vitality, anyway, they are richer than Lu Bowen, a poor ghost, so Du Yushang will not be soft when he receives this thank you.
However, the main reason why there are so few thank-you gifts for this mission is because people in Qili County did not apply for help at all, and Lu Bowen's arrival was just an accident, and this thank-you gift was made up temporarily.
After Lu Bowen got paid, he refused the county order and the master's retention, slapped the magic talisman, and rushed to the retreat place guided by Du Yusheng.
"Senior, why do we have to go to such a distant place to retreat, can't we just find a place nearby?" he wanted to get his weapon earlier.
The place Du Yushang said is really not ordinarily far, although it is still in the jurisdiction of Chongxianmen, but it almost spans the north and south, and it will take at least ten days to rush over this way, which is too wasteful of time.
"Well, it seems to be a little far away, so let's go back to the sect. Du Yushang said calmly.
Lu Bowen smiled awkwardly: "It's not far, it's not far, it's not far at all." "He's not stupid, this mission was obviously forcibly arranged for him by the master, and he wanted to send him far away, at this time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in the sect for two days and be sent out, so it's better to stay outside for a while and experience it, so that I can be at ease."
"Senior, what's the use of Gengjin?"
After Lu Bowen joined the sect, he didn't stay in the outer gate for a few days before he was favored by Hongming Daojun and accepted as a personal disciple, Hongming Daojun only urged him to cultivate, in addition to cultivation, other things such as alchemy, refining, talismans, formations and so on, he was not allowed to touch it, saying that he was greedy and chewed too much, and he had everything if he went up for cultivation.
However, since he had a portable grandfather, he felt that he was simply illiterate, he didn't know anything, he didn't understand anything, he couldn't even identify the most basic spirit grass and spirit mine, which simply delayed him to find an opportunity to make a fortune. The spirit grass of the three melons and two dates that I went out to practice and pick last time was still taught by Senior Brother Mingyuan.
Since there is a portable grandfather, why not use it, so Lu Bo is curious about the baby, and various problems emerge one after another every day.
Du Yushang has a good temper in this regard, after all, she is also a senior master who has had two personal disciples, plus she was trapped at the bottom of the Phoenix Fall Valley, and after hundreds of years of talking to herself, now there are people who have nothing to say to talk to her every day, she is very happy.
"Gengjin is still a little useful, it contains a wealth of golden spiritual energy, and that tanuki essence is absorbing the golden spiritual energy in Gengjin to cultivate, but this is not the main use of Gengjin. Gengjin is a very good refining material, which can be added as an auxiliary material or as the main ingredient refining, but Gengjin is difficult to refine, and can only be refined by Danhuo or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, so most of Gengjin will be used in the natal magic weapon of Jindan monks, which is a more precious kind of refining material. ”
Lu Bowen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and secretly counted the value with his fingers: one hundred lower-grade spirit stones are equal to a medium-grade spirit stone, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equal to one high-grade spirit stone, and one thousand high-grade spirit stones are equal to ten million lower-grade spirit stones...... You can't use the lower grade spirit stone as the unit of pricing anymore, otherwise it will sound like inflation in the cultivation realm.
No wonder the seniors want to hide the rest of the Gengjin, even if the income from the task does not have to be handed over to the sect, but the value is too high, I am afraid that he, a minor monk in the foundation building period, will not be able to keep it, and he still understands the truth of his guilt.
However, didn't the predecessor say that he needed Danhuo or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire to refine Gengjin, but he had clearly seen the flame spit out by his predecessor cut Gengjin like cutting a watermelon, which was more difficult than refining, did this mean that the flame of the predecessor was a high-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire?
You can't ask, you can't ask! It's better to make a fortune in a muffled voice, the more powerful the old man is, the greater the benefit to him. Lu Bowen turned Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, secretly happy.
Du Yushang couldn't hide it when he saw his face full of joy, and said secretly in his heart: I just like you like the way you haven't seen the world.
In this line of the two, the people who ask questions have a lot of questions, and the people who answer are full of patience, and the road is still relatively harmonious, Lu Bowen has also popularized a lot of common sense in the cultivation realm, as well as all kinds of public or non-public theoretical knowledge, he secretly sighs every day: There is a treasure in the family, but it is really happy.
Nearly ten days later, it was not far from the destination, but Du Yushang found that some places began to be different from what he remembered.
"No, shouldn't we still be in the jurisdiction of the sect, why is the flag hanging on this city not from the Chongxian Sect?, are we going wrong?" Du Yushang expressed appropriate doubts about Lu Bowen's pathfinding ability.
Lu Bowen explained: "Back to the predecessors, there is nothing wrong with this road, bypass the city in front of you and go to the Lost Trace Ridge you mentioned, this city was occupied by the Demon Sect two hundred years ago, and it has been the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect since then." ”
Du Yushang was shocked, Chongxian Gate is a super sect with the Venerable of the Transformation Period, is the Demon Sect so tiger, dare to grab the territory of Chongxian Gate?
"What is the origin of this Demon Sect? I have never heard of it before, and I think it is a new sect that only rose hundreds of years ago, and even the Chongxian Sect dares to provoke it?
Lu Bowen smiled bitterly: "No, the head master also asked us to provoke less people from the Demon Sect, and also asked us to change our disciple clothes when we passed by the territory of the Demon Sect, so as not to provoke right and wrong." Last time, my junior brother and I were chased by the people of the Demon Sect to the Jumping Phoenix Fall Valley, but we were late to change our clothes and were targeted by the disciples of the Demon Sect. ”
"And this kind of thing, what do you guys think? Don't have any ulterior deals with the Demon Sect, right?"
Lu Bowen said: "Many people in the sect have the same idea as their predecessors, but speaking of which, except for the death of the two senior brothers under my master's seat at the hands of the Demon Sect, it seems that I haven't heard of any other disciples having an accident, so even if many people talk about it, no one really wants to fight with the Demon Sect, even if my two senior brothers die, my master doesn't think about going over to avenge them." ”
Du Yushang frowned, full of doubts in her heart - she still has some understanding of the temperament of the head master, saying that it sounds good is called transcendence, and if it is ugly, it is called inaction, his existence is more as a mascot to suppress the luck of the sect, and as the highest force value of the sect to deter other sects, in the years when he was in charge, most of the sect's affairs were decided by the elders, he basically didn't care about anything, and he only knew cultivation all day.
Therefore, the head of the sect meddled in the affairs of the sect related to the Demon Sect, and set the strategy of "Huairou", and at the same time, this strategy was also agreed by the Council of Elders, there must be a conspiracy in this!
Big conspiracy!
