Introduction Chapter 10 Mortal Spiritual Roots

Hearing Ge Xiaoyue talk about making money, Dong Xiaoping suddenly thought of a question.

"Miss Ge, do you also use gold and silver as money in the Immortal Gate, or are you still spirit stones?"

"Of course, the money is made of pure gold and mythril, and gold and silver cannot be friendly with the aura, so it is of little use to monks, at most it is used among mortals. ”

Dong Xiaoping's Adamantite and Mithril are terms in the Lord of the Rings and Dungeon Warriors, but although the words of this world basically correspond to the previous life, he is not sure whether the meaning of the two words is exactly the same.

"What about spirit stones, are there any such things as spirit stones?" he asked as much as he could.

"Yes, you can store a lot of aura, but you can't divide it, you can't mint it, and few people use it for money?"

"Why can't you divide it? You can cut it into pieces, and then make sure that the size is about the same, can't you make money?"

Ge Xiaoyue laughed when she heard this, laughing so hard that she had no strength to paddle, "What fool would cut the spirit stone into small pieces, the smaller it is, the less valuable it is, stupid!"

"You're not stupid enough to have such a bad idea. Qin Chuyu also laughed and teased.

Dong Xiaoping was a little embarrassed, could it be that this spirit stone was like a diamond in his previous life, the bigger it was, the more valuable it was?

This Xianxia world is a bit strange.

The wooden oar in Ge Xiaoyue's hand paddled a slow and gentle wave in the water.

"By the way, Miss Xiaoyue, why doesn't the Immortal Sect gather all the immortal worshippers for a unified test?" Dong Xiaoping asked.

"Ah? Why do you want to unify the test? The immortals are a little far away and some are close, and they don't know how much time they spend on the road, so they can't be unified, and the introductory test is just a test of the spiritual root, and there was no need to test it when there were few people before. ”

"Uh~" seems to make sense.

"That's right. Dong Xiaoping thought of Luo Renshan, "Can the spiritual root be destroyed?"

"Well, it's possible to take an elixir to defeat the spiritual root, but it can only be for people who haven't cultivated. ”

"Is that really going to destroy the spiritual root of the Immortal Worshippers?" To be honest, the Qingbo Gate doesn't look like a demon gate.

"Yes, the Immortal Restriction Order. There is a rule that people with spiritual roots either cultivate in Qingbo Gate or don't cultivate. ”

"So domineering!"

"It's not overbearing, my father told me, saying that some people outside because they can't enter the Qingbo Gate, they cultivate on their own, because they are not controlled, they often fall into the evil demon outer way, and the harm is endless, and the Qingbo Gate can't take everyone in, so they have to knock out their spiritual roots. ”

I have to say that this set of rhetoric sounds quite reasonable.

Ge Xiaoyue asked with a smile, "Hey, do you also want to cultivate immortals?"

"How did you guess?" Dong Xiaoping was a little surprised, it's rare for me to behave so obviously?

"Haha, do you still need to guess? Every mortal who comes here has thought about cultivating immortals. ”

"How do you know that I must be mortal, although I haven't received the immortal worship order, but I don't necessarily have no spiritual roots. ”

"You think that the spiritual root is casually available, and it is not necessary to pick one out of ten thousand, you can test it if you don't believe it, as long as you are willing to spend a hundred taels of silver. ”

"So expensive?" Dong Xiaoping was speechless, "Can mortals cultivate immortals?"

"How do you say that?" Ge Xiaoyue tilted her head, thought for a while and continued, "Only with a spiritual root can you practice, this is not to be said, those who do not have a spiritual root are mortals, and it stands to reason that they can't cultivate immortals, but ......"

"But what?" Dong Xiaoping raised in his heart!

"However, mortals are not necessarily mortals for the rest of their lives, and spiritual roots may grow. ”

"Isn't the spiritual root innate?" Dong Xiaoping said strangely.

"Who said it was born? It's obviously acquired! People who are born without spiritual roots are born, but they continue to absorb the spiritual energy around them, and they gradually grow spiritual roots, but everyone's talent is different, some people have spiritual roots at the age of one, and some people only have spiritual roots at the age of ten. ”

"I thought you knew a lot, but it turned out to be all fakes. Qin Chuyu smiled at Dong Xiaoping.

"Eh, that is to say, mortals can also cultivate immortals?" Dong Xiaoping was very excited now, ignoring Qin Chuyu's teasing, because according to the probability, the possibility of him having a spiritual root was too small, and most of him was a mortal.

"However, very few people can grow spiritual roots after the age of ten, and there are only a handful after the age of twenty, but I heard that there were people who grew spiritual roots at the age of fifty-six, and I don't know if they made it up. So, the mortals who just came here all want to cultivate immortals, and when they get older, they don't want to do it anymore, and live in peace. ”

"It's rare that if a mortal wants to cultivate an immortal, he can only wait for the spiritual root to grow naturally?

"There are still ways, some exercises, pills, and spiritual weapons can be used to open spiritual roots, but those things are scary, I can't afford them, I don't think you can do it, people who want to cut the spirit stone into small pieces are destined to not make a fortune. Ge Xiaoyue covered her mouth and smiled.

If there is a way, I am afraid that it is impossible, although the money is difficult to earn, but you always have to give it a try, Dong Xiaoping thought secretly.

"And how do mortals make money?"

"Of course you have to work to earn money, do you think I don't have any wages to receive you?"

"Do you earn a lot? Do they pay you silver for wages or Mithril?"

"How could it be Mithril! It can only be silver, three taels a month. ”

"The income is not bad. Dong Xiaoping knew that one tael of silver per month for ordinary families outside was enough.

"Huh, do you know how much silver you need to exchange for Mithril, and how can you buy an elixir without Mithril?"

"How do you change the law?"

"At least four hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for one or two Mithril! This is still when the market is good, and the monks do not need silver and gold, and there is often no price. ”

"Mithril is so expensive?!With this income, you can't afford to buy pills at all, so don't you have a job to earn Mithril directly?"

When the two of them went out, the old man gave fifty taels of silver, five taels of gold, converted into a total of five hundred and fifty taels of silver, and only spent more than forty taels of silver on the road, and the remaining five hundred taels of silver were considered very rich in the world, but they could only exchange for one or two of secret silver here!

"It's rare, and it's the kind of very dangerous work that my mom won't let me do. ”

"Hey, it's really difficult for mortals to cultivate immortals. "Dong Xiaoping hopes that he can have a spiritual root, if not, it is really a hellish difficulty.

"Yes, and most of the silver has to be used to get by, food, clothing, housing, firewood, rice, oil and salt have to spend money. Speaking of this, Ge Xiaoyue, who had always been cheerful, was a little depressed, but she quickly adjusted, and said with a smile, "However, although the salary for serving in the Immortal Hall is not much, you can meet many new mages, such as the two mage sisters, as long as you serve seriously, maybe in the future, you will have money, and you will give me a little charity, which is also a little clever for me." ”

Qin Chuyu smiled: "No wonder you praise me, it turns out that I am uneasy and kind, okay, I remember." ”

Dong Xiaoping felt sad, this mortal path of cultivating immortals is really not easy to walk.

Zhang Chunhua looked elsewhere and did not say anything.

Ge Xiaoyue didn't care, and still enthusiastically introduced all aspects of Xianmen, such as what was on the east bank, what was on the west bank, what was on the south bank, and what was on the north bank.

While sailing and chatting, I arrived at the shore before I knew it.

This is the East Market, in which it seems to be a mortal town, with people coming and going on the streets, bustling with people, the only difference is that there are many people with all kinds of weapons and magic weapons coming and going.

The three of them didn't expect that there was such a prosperous town in Qingbo Gate, and they were all taken aback.

Ge Xiaoyue explained to them that in fact, even in Xianmen, the vast majority of people were mortals, including monks' retinues, descendants of monks, workers employed by Xianmen, and foreign immortal seekers, and then multiplied from generation to generation, forming an extremely large group.

The East Market is the largest gathering place for the mortals of Lake Qingbo.

Passing through the East Market, passing through the path opened up from the bamboo forest, I came to a village-like place, full of various small courtyards, there are not many passers-by here, and it is relatively clean.

This is Zhulin Village, where low-level disciples live and live.

Ge Xiaoyue found a small courtyard according to a sign in her hand, and said to Zhang Chunhua with a smile: "Sister Mage, this is your courtyard, this is the house card, please put it away." ”

Zhang Chunhua nodded, hugged her belongings, and went straight into the courtyard without saying hello to anyone.

Qin Chuyu raised her hand and wanted to say goodbye to her, but she didn't expect her to look at her, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.

Ge Xiaoyue relieved the siege at this time and said: "You can't wait, let's go, let's go find your yard." ”

The courtyard here looks similar, and the paths inside are also criss-crossed, and the three of them searched for a while before they found a small courtyard belonging to Qin Chuyu.

"I don't have a yard, do I live here too?"

The words "......" seemed to stump Ge Xiaoyue, she looked at Dong Xiaoping, then at Qin Chuyu, and said with a slight embarrassment, "I have seen many monks have one or two retinues, in this case, generally speaking, they all live together in the small courtyard, if you find another place to live, it is not free." However, I have never seen a friar bring only one young male attendant, and I don't know how to advise...... So take care of it yourself. ”

For a moment the air was silent.

Of course, Dong Xiaoping doesn't want to spend too much money, it's hard to earn money.

So he glanced at Qin Chuyu, only to see Qin Chuyu's eyes lowered, he didn't know what to think, would she mind?

That's it, I said I wanted to treat her as a woman.

So he said painfully: "I still have to find another place, this lonely man and widow, I still have to avoid suspicion." ”

Qin Chuyu glanced at him, and stopped talking, but didn't say anything in the end.

So Ge Xiaoyue took Dong Xiaoping to Dongshi to find a place to live, although it was dark at this time, Dongshi was still brightly lit and lively.

In the end, I rented a small room, located on the second floor, downstairs is a small alley, there are many night stalls in the alley, selling all kinds of snacks, this place is much worse than the courtyard where Qin Chuyu and the others live.

In the end, the price negotiated with the landlord was five cents a month, which was not much more expensive than the mundane world.

After everything was done, Ge Xiaoyue left.

Two days later, on the eastern shore of Lake Qingbo, in the courtyard of a mansion.

"Linggen doesn't, next. An old man with a white face sat on a chair and said in an old, lazy voice.

A young man in brocade left dejectedly, and at the same time, another dark-skinned young man stepped forward with a nervous face.

He bent down and said respectfully: "The layman Zhang Bao has seen Zhao Shangren. ”

At this time, a person who looked like a housekeeper next to him walked over, and the treasure hurriedly took out a cloth bag from behind him and handed it to him, and the cloth bag seemed to be gold and silver.

The housekeeper opened it and looked at it, nodded, and said, "One hundred taels of silver." ”
