In front of the ruined temple, the monk stared at a statue of a woman and was silent for a long time.

As the sun set, in the twilight, he slowly stretched out his right finger and gently touched the forehead of the statue, and the monk closed his eyes with a look of remembrance.

In those years, a young girl followed behind, and those past events seemed to be vivid.

After a long time, the monk withdrew his fingers, waved his robe and turned around, and a drop of ice crystal slid down the side of his face.

After a few steps, the monk suddenly stopped, glanced back, and said softly:

"Allow me to come to life,

Turned into a Bodhi tree,

Don't repair the glass body,

Shelter from the rain and dew. ”

The monk left, leaving only a ray of sunshine in the sky, taking pictures of the beautiful statue.

I don't know how many winters, summers, winters and summers, the temple was gradually covered by time, but the statue was still the same, but at its feet, a touch of cyan quietly grew, and not long after, a small tree two feet high appeared, the branches stretched, and the statue was protected under the body.

…………

Although Zhengyangmen is the last sect of immortal cultivation on Canglan Star, it has a history of more than 500 years, and it has some heritage.

The current master of the door has the cultivation of the peak of foundation building, and there are dozens of elders in the foundation building period under the door, so it is very prestigious in a radius of thousands of miles, and it is a place for ordinary people to become immortals.

And Zhengyangmen is also quite generous, accepting disciples and disciples from the outside world, what can be said is:

Regardless of talent, as long as you have money.

Therefore, although it is only an inconspicuous small sect, there are more than 10,000 protégés, but there are also hierarchical divisions among disciples, regardless of the age of talent, those who have reached the sevenfold level of qi training can be true disciples, those who have reached the fourfold level of qi training can be inner disciples, and those who have reached the first level of qi training can be outer disciples.

If you don't have a Qi cultivation behavior, then don't blame, you can only become a miscellaneous disciple, hehe, not only have to hand over a sufficient amount of gold and silver treasures every month, (of course, it is better to have spirit stones,) but also do a lot of labor, and there is no teacher to teach carefully, you can only hold the exercises and ponder blindly, and one day suddenly open your mind and become an outer disciple.

So don't look at the many disciples of Zhengyangmen, most of them are just miscellaneous disciples.

And in a small corner of Zhengyangmen, where the houses are dense and the people are buzzing, it is in stark contrast to the coldness of other places, this is Fang City!

Fang Market is a place where disciples trade with each other, and some people who have a certain degree of Taoism will sell all kinds of spirit runes, pills, and magic weapons and spirit soldiers here.

In an inconspicuous corner of Fang City, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was lying on a rocking chair, holding a simple scripture book in his hand and pressing it to his chest, closing his eyes and thinking silently, while shaking leisurely with one foot against a wooden pillar.

Beside him, there was a very simple wooden table, and there was little movement in front of it, but this did not affect the boy's business, because there was not much on the table.

"Strange, that's how the last stroke of the water gathering charm is outlined? Why do I always fail, is it because the pen can't do it?"

The boy put the book to one side, and then his dark eyes looked at the sky blankly, and muttered to himself.

The boy's name is Lu Li, he is seventeen years old this year, slightly more than five feet tall, wearing a green coat, although his face is clean, but unfortunately his face is mediocre.

"Senior brother, how do you sell this fire talisman?"

Just when Lu Li was puzzled, a weak voice broke his contemplation.

He turned his head lightly, glanced at the person who came, and said impatiently: "Five taels of broken spirit stones." ”

In front of Lu Li's stall was a disciple in his twenties, with a handsome face, although he was much older than him, but his expression was very respectful, because the two stars on his chest announced that he only had the cultivation of the dual cultivation of qi and was an outer disciple, and Lu Li had six stars tattooed on his chest, and he had the cultivation of the sixfold cultivation of qi, so that person would be so respectful to him.

"Senior brother, can you be a little less, this fire talisman is very important to me, I only received one or two broken spirit stones this month, and I have only four taels after accumulating for several months. ”

The man groped uneasily into his pocket, his tone full of pleading.

"I'll go, those elders at the outer gate are really greedy, and they won't let go of the broken spirit stone. ”

Lu Li scolded in his heart, his eyes were full of sympathy, because a person who has reached the second level of Qi cultivation can not only stay in the door for free, but also have two taels of broken spirit stones a month to receive, and this person only receives one tael, needless to say, the cat is tired.

"Okay, okay!"

Lu Li waved and agreed, not because of pity, but because today's business was too poor, and seeing that it was getting dark, he had to open it again.

"Thank you, brother!"

The man bowed with great gratitude, and then left four taels of broken spirit stones and happily took the fire talisman and left.

Lu Li had nothing to do, so he continued to hold the scriptures and watch.

Before you know it, it's already dark.

"Alas, I only harvested a pound of broken spirit stones today, and the business is really getting more and more difficult to do, no, I have to ask the old man for a high-level brush when I go back, and there is nothing to make from low-level charms." ”

Lin He was weak enough to close the stall, and at the same time complained in frustration.

After carefully placing the talisman on the table, Lu Li waved his hand, and the table and chairs were put into the storage bag.

"There are almost 100 catties of broken spirit stones in the past few days, right? Let's see if we can change the old man for a spirit pill. ”

Lu Li looked up at a building on the top of the mountain, smiled slightly, and walked up.

Since he was an inner disciple, there were many outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples who nodded to him along the way, but he just glanced at it lightly, didn't pay much attention to it, and walked straight to the building.

"Giggle......"

As he reached a corner, a loud chirp came from ahead, followed by a large gray shadow.

"Not good!"

Lu Li shouted, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he hurriedly hid to the side, his heart was turbulent.

The next moment, a strong whirlwind whistled past him, kicking up a cloud of dust, and Lu Li was also swept away by this huge whirlwind.

After falling to the ground hard, he fell quietly to the ground, not because he didn't want to get up, but because the huge shadow stopped in the air, and the powerful and heavy pressure made him unable to move.

Like him, there are more than ten disciples, and some of the weaker cultivators are already so frightened that they pee their pants.

"What's the matter, it's a high-level demon beast, this is Zhengyangmen!"

Lu Li raised his head with difficulty and looked at the air, and the next moment his eyes were dull, only to see a big bird hovering more than one zhang at a distance of five or six zhang, with a breathing aura, and the huge size made people feel frightened.

With such a huge size, only high-level demon beasts can compete with them at this level, and weak immortal cultivators such as Lu Li can only crouch down to save their lives.

It's just that inside the Zhengyang Gate, how can there be any demon beasts who dare to come and be presumptuous.

"Senior Brother Yuan, you see that these poor inner disciples don't look like puppies. ”

When Lu Li was puzzled, a bewitching voice came from the back of the demon beast, and it was not difficult to imagine that the speaker must be a peerless beauty.

"Hmm, there's someone up there, isn't it ......?"

Lu Li was immediately shocked, and the confusion in his heart was also swept away, no wonder there were demon beasts running rampant in the sect, it turned out to be a mount for cultivating as a senior disciple.

"Is it a true disciple?

From the words just now, Lu Li had already guessed that this was deliberately being played with, and those who could subdue high-level demon beasts must be the true disciples, these people were high up, and they used the people of the inner and outer doors as playthings for playfulness and amusement, which made him feel extremely violently insulted.

The other disciples were also angry, but they were all very smart, and they knew that they could not be offended, so they all kept their heads down and hid them well.

On the back of the monster, a young man with a handsome face and evil eyes was hugging a stunning woman with skin better than snow, his expression was debauched, half of his upper body was bare, and his fingers teased the woman's chin, making her laugh again and again.

The woman slightly held her middle finger, a pool of spring water in her eyes, and small transparent crystals in the corners of her eyes, with thin streamers, showing her charm and charm.

The young man glanced down casually, his face showing disdain, "It's all some little shrimp, if the beauty likes me, I'll tease them." ”

"I like it!"

The woman's laughter was bone-chilling, and the man enjoyed it with his eyes closed, and his big hands patted lightly on his body by the way.

"Okay, the beauty is smiling, these puppies can be regarded as having a slight effect!"

The man was in high spirits, his fingers moved, and an incomparably violent pressure began to emanate from him, and the demon beast under him began to tremble due to fear, and finally couldn't help it, it let out an incomparably violent roar, and a circle of gray gas appeared around its body, and then these gases spread around.

The next moment the wind roared, the dust rolled, and the long clothes of the two of them trembled in the wind.

"Ahh

Lu Li couldn't help but scream softly, he felt that a 10,000-pound boulder was pressed on his body, his chest was extremely uncomfortable, his trachea seemed to be stuffed into cotton, and it was very difficult to breathe.

However, his appearance was not bad, and the other disciples' entire faces were already on the ground, and the green tendons on their necks were emerging, which was very terrifying.

It's all naked toying.

"Senior Brother Yuan, Shenwu!"

The woman also seemed to be affected a little, her breathing was short, her chest was beating up and down, and half of her body was close to the man, sweating profusely, but it was even more moving.

Such a bewitching posture made the young man's eyes straighten, swallowed his saliva, and then put the woman on the back of the demon beast, smiled wickedly at the corner of his mouth, and patted the demon beast lightly with his palm, and the next moment a whirlwind rolled up and disappeared into the air.

"Click......"

After the demon beast left, Lu Li slowly stood up, looking at the smaller and smaller shadow with an ugly expression, his fists clenched, and he made an unwilling click.

The other disciples also stood up, some furious, others terrified.

"Isn't it just relying on cultivation to be high, and you are so presumptuous, phew!"

Some of the disciples vented their dissatisfaction loudly, looking indignant.

Lu Li's expression didn't change much, he let go of his finger and said silently: "Being able to subdue a high-level demon beast is definitely a top powerhouse!"

He slapped the dirt on his body while thinking in his heart, although he felt very insulted, he couldn't do anything, he didn't know when he would reach such a state.

Shaking his head, he put all this behind him and continued towards his destination.

After a while, he stood in front of a tall building, and saw two big characters written on it: dragon flying and phoenix dancing - Danfang!

The Danfang is a place to receive and exchange pills within the sect, only true disciples can receive pills every month, Lu Li is only an inner door, and he is not qualified for the time being.

The caretaker of the Danfang is very idle, the first few days of the month are relatively busy, and now it is the middle of the month, no one comes and goes, so it is very quiet, probably because there is nothing to do, only a few people are on duty in the Danfang, and they are all listless, drowsy.

"Senior Brother Lao, I'll exchange it for a spirit pill. ”

Lu Li walked up to a middle-aged man and called softly.

The man was impatient at first, but a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Lu Li's age and cultivation.

After all, Lu Li's current age is only in his early seventeens, and he has the cultivation of the sixfold qi training, and in Zhengyangmen, this talent is not bad.

He is more than thirty years old, although he is a true disciple, but his qualifications are ordinary, and now he is only practicing Qi Sevenfold, so he naturally does not dare to slack off Lu Li.

After watching Lu Li carefully, he said kindly: "No problem, junior brother, please come with me." Then he led the way.

Lu Li casually looked around and followed.

"It's so fragrant, Danfang is really a good place, I'm afraid that cultivating here will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Although it was not the first time to come, Lu Li still couldn't help but sigh, isn't the fragrance in the pill room emitted by the pill? It must carry a trace of medicinal power, so the benefits of cultivating here are self-evident.

He turned his head to look at the drowsy few people, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes, it was really a waste that he didn't know how to hurry up and cultivate in such a good place.

"Senior brother, do you have any spirit stones?"

The man who led the way slowly followed Lu as he walked.

"No, I should have a hundred catties of broken spirit stones, and I have to trouble Senior Brother to weigh it. ”

He was only an outer disciple and was not eligible to receive spirit stones.

"It's okay, it's a gesture, junior brother ......"

That person was not surprised, although he was a true disciple, he could only receive one spirit stone in a month, although he was not familiar with Lu Li, it didn't seem to affect his relationship, but he kept chattering.

Lu Li doesn't like to say much, he just answers.

The Danfang was not big, and after more than twenty breaths, the two of them came to the place called the spirit stone.

"Senior brother, take out the broken spirit stone. ”

The man stood aside, pointing to a large name that was too delicate and urging softly.

There is a difference between this great name and the worldly one, first of all, this non-weighing rod and weighing lump is just an ironwood box.

"Hmm. ”

Lu Li nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a small white stone pile appeared on the scale.

These are all things he has accumulated in the past month, and he has always been reluctant to use them for cultivation, and the disciples who practice qi six times can receive fifty catties of broken spirit stones in a month, and the rest are all earned by selling all kinds of different talismans and arranging formations for people.

"Tut-tut, ninety-nine pounds, that's it, I chatted with my junior brother today very speculatively, this catty will be free, and my senior brother will make it up for you." ”

Lu Li's broken spirit stone was no more, no less, just ninety-nine pounds, and the senior brother next to him said with a smile when he was embarrassed.

"Then thank you, brother. ”

Lu Li thanked him, if there is a bargain, he will not take advantage of it, and a pound of broken spirit stones is like a hairy hair for the true disciples.

"You're welcome, what kind of spirit pill is the junior brother going to exchange, by the way, Elder Hong just practiced a furnace of fine essence qi pill yesterday, and the junior brother practiced qi sixfold, if you can take one of them, you can save months of hard practice, and you only need one spirit stone. ”

A hundred catties of broken spirit stones can just be exchanged for a complete spirit stone, so now Lu Liruru can completely exchange one if he wants.

"Good thing, I'm already at the peak of the sixth-fold Qi cultivation now, if I can take a Essence Qi Pill, maybe I can break through to the seventh-fold Qi cultivation in one fell swoop and become a true disciple. ”

Lu Li was very moved, and thought secretly in his heart, but he still held it back, and said slowly: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother, I don't need the Essence Pill much now, give me a Baicao Pill." ”

Lu Li's purpose here is to exchange for Baicao Dan, and he has come many times and knows the price.

"Herb pill?"

The senior brother frowned slightly, and seemed to be very confused, but he didn't ask again, and said: "Baicao Dan is a scarce pill, the junior brother came at the right time, there is still one in the warehouse, please come with me." ”

"Well, thank you, brother. ”

Lu Li's face was happy, and he followed behind the senior brother, although he often exchanged Baicao Dan, but not every time.

"That pill is really a hot commodity, but it's also right, you have to collect more than 100 kinds of spirit grass to open a furnace for alchemy, and it is difficult to open a furnace for two or three months, so naturally the supply exceeds demand. ”
