Chapter 20 When excellence has become a habit
In the cold winter, when a classmate in the dormitory is still enjoying a good dream, what supports you and makes you leave the warm quilt early and go to self-study in the biting cold wind?
Is it to live up to the expectations of teachers and teachers, or is it for the various scholarships with various names?
For Chen Yuan, neither. Chen Yuan, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, is already good enough, the scholarship is just in the bag, and the teacher's evaluation of Chen Yuan is only praise.
What is that for? Chen Yuan also asked himself this question.
Chen Yuan couldn't find a definite answer.
Maybe it's because I like the feeling of enriching myself a little bit, or maybe it's just a simple habit of being excellent.
Because you are used to being excellent, you must do better than others, and because you are used to being excellent, you must make yourself better.
And now, even though the world around him has changed, Chen Yuan is still the young man who is humble on the outside and proud on the inside.
Therefore, in such a world where cultivation is respected and strength is paramount, when Chen Yuan realized that he could not cultivate, his heart almost collapsed - not only was he afraid of the future, but more importantly, he couldn't accept the fact that he would become mediocre.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan laughed at himself: self-abandonment and cynicism, those days were probably the most decadent and lazy period for me.
Fortunately, although the heavens closed the door and closed the window, he left a hoe for Chen Yuan.
Just as a thirsty and dying person in the desert met Qingquan, he was so greedy that he was unwilling to let go of every droplet, Chen Yuan was also unwilling to let go of any opportunity to improve himself.
It has become a habit not to do anything else, but to be excellent.
And there is such an opportunity to improve one's cultivation in front of him. Chen Yuan followed the point, gradually moving away. After walking for half an hour, the surroundings became more and more desolate, and it was already a place that had never been set foot in before when he was a handyman.
The faint human voice accompanied by bursts of pungent smell came from afar, and Chen Yuan understood that he should have arrived at the place.
When I came closer, I saw a shed built in the middle of a wasteland, and some discarded materials were piled up under the shed, and a few people were squatting next to it, probably counting and sorting. There are also a few wooden houses around, and from time to time there are puffs of black smoke rising from them.
Seeing a disciple dressed in inner door clothes, a person under the shed stood up and greeted him.
The man was dressed in a miscellaneous disciple's uniform, but he had a face that Chen Yuan had never seen before. He looked Chen Yuan up and down and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Looking at the vigilant and suspicious looks of these people, Chen Yuan wanted to ask about the situation first before making plans.
So, Chen Yuan made an excuse at random: "Yesterday, I was negligent in the next moment, and I disposed of an unrefined sword embryo as a scrap." So I came here today, I wanted to ......"
"Don't think about anything, don't even think about it. I'll tell you," the man waved his arm and drew a circle, and said in an impassioned tone, "This scrap has been contracted by our miscellaneous house. ”
Chen Yuan was speechless: As for being so proud, you are not contracting a fish pond......
Seeing that Chen Yuan was speechless, the man said proudly: "Don't say that you are an inner disciple, as long as the things come to us, even the elders don't want to take them back." ”
"Oh?" Chen Yuan didn't believe it, and asked curiously, "If an elder's magic weapon is left here, and he comes to pick it up in person, you won't give it to you?"
"Uh," was asked by Chen Yuan, and the arrogance suddenly became a little shorter: "Giving is naturally to give, and you can't stop it anyway, but even an elder has to talk about the rules......"
Chen Yuan smiled secretly in his heart.
After Chen Yuan repeatedly promised to give up retrieving the sword embryo, that person was finally willing to introduce some information to Chen Yuan here.
It turned out that these people belonged to the miscellaneous house. There are a few other people in the wooden house who are hired from the past inner disciples to be responsible for the separation and purification of waste materials.
The sect never paid them the miscellaneous disciples, but only gave them the right to dispose of these wastes. And they separate and purify the waste and then find a way to sell it.
Regarding the question of whether Chen Yuan's things could be sold, the man scoffed.
It turned out that many of these wastes were still precious materials or elixirs that had failed to be refined, but they were discarded because they were mixed with impurities or in poor condition. Picking these things out can often fetch a high price.
The remaining residues and waste are packaged and sold, and some are coaxed by small and medium-sized sects.
These small and medium-sized sects are not as rich and resourceful as Ying Tianzong, and they expect to find some good things from these scraps that they pack and buy.
In the end, the man refuted Chen Yuandao: "If no one wants these things, you will only drink the northwest wind for the more than 100 people in our miscellaneous room!"
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded to be taught, but he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart. I thought I had found a shortcut to improve my cultivation, but I didn't expect to find a food guy who people relied on for a living.
Reluctantly returned to his residence, Chen Yuan saw an unexpected figure.
Chen Yuan frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
The man took a step forward from the shadows and appeared, it was Su Xiannan, the son of Prince Su. Prince Su said coldly: "Chen Yuan, I have been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Chen Yuan opened the door and said casually: "What are you waiting for, I'm not one of your infatuated junior sisters." ”
"Don't talk crazy here. Chen Yuan, I am here to advise you, it is best to take the initiative to give up the position of the branch secretary. Prince Su said what he meant.
"Why should I let it?" Chen Yuan asked rhetorically.
"Man must be self-aware. Chen Yuan, you don't want to think about it, why are you this branch secretary?"
"Why?" Chen Yuan smiled instead of anger, and glanced at Prince Su: "Just because I am taller than you, more handsome than you, and ...... The cultivation is still higher than yours. ”
"Cultivation is higher than me, that doesn't have to be ......" Prince Su showed a smug expression: "Chen Yuan, you can see clearly, I have broken through to the fourth level of Qi cultivation." ”
Chen Yuan took a closer look at Prince Su and found that although his aura was still a little unstable, it was indeed a fourfold qi practice.
Chen Yuan was a little surprised, it seems that this kid has a good talent, he has only been cultivating for a long time, and he is already fourfold.
Looking at Chen Yuan's surprised expression, Prince Su became even more proud in his heart: "I said a long time ago, even if you started cultivating a few years before me and your cultivation is slightly higher than mine, you will be surpassed by me sooner or later." Need to know about people......"
"Wait. Chen Yuan opened his mouth to interrupt Prince Su's boasting, thinking that he was a little depressed when he was disappointed today, but now that you took the initiative to send it to the door, how could I not have fun with you.
So Chen Yuan said: "Prince Su, please wait a while, I just came back, and I have a little urgency ......."
When Prince Su was able to speak, he was interrupted, and he was not very happy, and when he heard this, he was even more disdainful in his heart: a vulgar and unbearable person.
It's just that because he didn't finish speaking, he didn't vomit or feel unhappy, so he had to wait for Chen Yuan at the door.
After a while, Chen Yuan came out of the room, but he secretly lifted the Zangfeng Technique, revealing the cultivation of the fifth layer of Qi training.
Prince Su saw that Chen Yuan was about to speak, and suddenly found that the person in front of him seemed to be a little different.
Chen Yuan looked at Prince Su's puzzled appearance, and said with a smile: "Prince Su can see it? This perception is really keen." Yes, the foolish brother has been holding back for a long time, and when he went to the toilet, he was refreshed, and he suddenly felt something, and he didn't hold back and rose to the fifth level of qi training. ”
Hearing this, Prince Su was completely dumbfounded, and couldn't even understand the words: "You, you...... I...... This ......"
