Chapter 5 The world is so big, I want to see it
The next day, after Liu Ming got up, he stretched his muscles and bones, and found that his true qi had recovered more than half, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy, it seemed that the effect of Xuan Blood Ginseng was really good, and it should be able to completely recover in two days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were more fresh things in the morning market, and to see what treasures he could pick up, he thought to himself, and came to the market again.
"Brother Ming, morning!" A young man's voice sounded in his ears Liu Ming followed the sound and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, carrying a medicine basket on his back, and greeting him with a Poria cocos in his hand.
That young man was Uncle Zhang's son and his companion for collecting medicine, named Zhang Daniu. Seeing Liu Ming coming over, Zhang Daniu shouted excitedly, "Brother Ming, are you okay, I picked a few qi-replenishing herbs yesterday, and I was about to sell these Poria cocos and send them to you, you came just in time." ”
Liu Ming looked at this young man with a simple face, his heart warmed slightly, and said: "Thank you, Ah Niu, I'm already fine, I don't need to take medicine anymore, you can sell it to save yourself for next year's martial arts gym tuition." ”
"Hey, where did you dig these poria cocos?" Liu Ming found that the Poria cocos in Zhang Daniu's hand was quite special, with a white appearance with purple in the middle, which should be a relatively rare purple poria.
"These are a few of them, they were dug on the edge of the Xianjing Cliff in the back mountain where we often went before, where ordinary people can't climb up, and there are more medicinal materials, so when you are injured, we will go together." ”
"Okay, I think these few should be rare purple poria, if you take it to the Hu family pharmacy, you should be able to sell it at a good price." ”
"Zi Poria, great, Brother Ming won't make me happy~" Zhang Daniu shouted happily.
"Just try it, by the way, don't say I told you!" Liu Ming patted Zhang Da Niu's head, and then walked towards the other stalls.
Liu Ming followed the bazaar, looked all the way down the medicinal material stalls, antique stalls, calligraphy and painting stalls, and grocery stalls, and found that today's luck was really good, and he actually found several extraordinary things:
a picture of Huang Geng's maid in the former dynasty;
a blue and white porcelain bowl from a 500-year-old official kiln;
a ten-pound piece of deep-sea cold iron;
There is also a palm-sized bronze plate with a rusty surface that you can't see of any material.
Liu Ming sold the scrolls, porcelain vases, and cold iron to antique shops and blacksmith shops, respectively. I bought a few tonic medicines for Uncle Zhang, bought some gifts for Mo Shuli, and bought my favorite pork belly and my little sister's favorite osmanthus cake, so I returned with more than 2,000 taels of silver tickets.
After eating and drinking, Liu Ming went outdoors to practice boxing again, and only after he was exhausted did he lie on the grass.
Liu Ming pulled a grass root and chewed it in his mouth. Close your eyes and enjoy the warm afternoon sun.
"It's so cool to make money like this, and finally get rid of the days when people are urging rent, credit cards, and buying houses, it won't take long to really become the God of Wealth, by the way, the system is still level zero, and I have to study how to upgrade. Liu Ming returned to the God of Wealth space again:
Fortuna System: Level 0
Capital: 2,100 taels of silver
Upgrade conditions: 10,000 taels of gold
Unlocks the skill: Sharp Eyes
Unlike last time, the funds were changed from zero to two thousand one hundred taels of silver. And in the space, the unknown bronze piece is also lying alone in the corner. The surface exudes a faint green glow. Liu Ming also found that the silver ticket and bronze piece on his body were also missing. It seems that this system also comes with its own storage space. Liu Ming understood.
Upgrade conditions, 10,000 taels of gold, damn, that's 100,000 taels of silver. Relying on picking up leaks, even if you turn over Wujiang County, you can't make so much money. It seems that there is more room to go to the state capital.
Hey, what's going on with this glowing bronze piece, won't it be a magic weapon or a secret book, Liu Ming took out the bronze piece and observed it with his fiery eyes, this is a round bronze plate, and the protruding part in the middle is like a mirror, surrounded by quaint cloud patterns. It looks like it should be a bronze mirror, just a lot smaller.
Through the rust on the surface, Liu Ming found that there are some lines inside the bronze mirror, although the lines are not clear, but it can be roughly seen that the towering is a high mountain, and the crooked is a small river, which should be like a simple map, and where is the area with the red mark, the lines are as steep as an axe and a knife, as if it is a cliff?
This, is this a treasure map, Liu Ming closed his eyes and concentrated on imagining the place in his heart that matched the map.
Liu Ming was thinking. Suddenly, he felt itchy in his ears, as if there were a lot of ants crawling, and when he opened his eyes, Liu Yunfei faced him with a clever and smiling face, scratching his ears with a dog's tail, and said with a smile: "I knew you were lazy here, get up, my father has something to do with you." ”
"Master looking for me, what's the matter, is it to marry you to me!" Liu Ming came back to his senses and said with a wicked smile.
"You haven't woken up from daydreaming, I'm just going to be a pig, and I'm not going to give you a big badass. As he spoke, he threw away the dog's tail grass with his right hand and twisted Liu Ming's ears. "Dad didn't tell me in detail, you'll know when you go. ”
Although Liu Ming was afraid that Liu Yong would ask about medicinal materials, he also had a lot of questions in his heart about follow-up cultivation to ask Liu Yong, so he came to Liufu with Liu Yunfei.
In the Liu family's study, Liu Yong smiled noncommittally when he heard Liu Ming explain the reason for discovering Xuan Blood Ginseng. Liu Ming also knew that even Liu Yunfei, a girl, didn't believe in such a reason, let alone Liu Yong, an old fox. He quickly diverted the topic and asked about spiritual matters.
Liu Yong looked at Liu Ming and said slowly:
"Cultivating immortals together, going against the sky, natural selection, survival of the fittest. From forging the body, practicing qi, building the foundation, Jindan, Yuanying, turning into a god, merging, Mahayana, and true immortals, there are a total of nine steps, one step and one heavy heaven. Each step involves countless hardships and risks. Moreover, the cultivation realm is highly hierarchical, and although talent is important, family background, wealth, resources, and exercises are also essential.
Liu Yong paused, coughed, and continued:
"Look at it, for hundreds of years, in addition to the two Xiuzhen families of Song and Liu, who else in Wujiang County has been able to embark on the immortal path. Mo Jianqiu, who was amazing and brilliant more than ten years ago, was forced to go overseas to find another opportunity because of his ordinary family background. ”
"Mo Jianqiu, it's the father of his sister, he used to go overseas, can my father tell me what's going on?"
Liu Yong took the teacup that Liu Yunfei held and took a sip:
"Mo Jianqiu's matter, it's not something you should know now. Let's talk about Liu Ming, Ming'er has excellent talents, but his family background is ordinary, and the Song family is a Xiuzhen family, and he has been taking care of secular affairs for Zixiamen, gathering resources and wealth, and there is a foundation ancestor in the family. ”
Liu Ming, who was on the other side, heard that the Song family had a foundation building ancestor, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, it seemed that his revenge plan had to be more cautious, and there could be no negligence.
Seeing that his words made Liu Ming so nervous, Liu Yong was secretly happy and decided to continue to put pressure on Liu Ming:
"Therefore, during the selection, you were plotted by Song Erhu, and the envoy of Zixiamen, who served as the arbitrator, would not administer justice for you. And if you can't enter the Zixia Gate, you won't get the exercises to practice qi, and you won't get the guidance of famous teachers, and no matter how high your qualifications are, you won't have the opportunity to play. ”
Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded silently, this stinky world of cultivation is also the same as the real world before he crossed over, no money is the original sin, success depends on fighting father, the second generation of immortals, and the second generation of rich monopolize social resources, and it is difficult for civilians to get ahead no matter how hard they try.
Liu Yong saw that Liu Ming had already taken the bait, so he showed his hole cards and said in a firm tone:
"Ming'er doesn't have to be discouraged, although you don't have the opportunity to cultivate immortals, but you have a simple heart, smart people, and you also have a high talent in medicine, this time you are the benefactor of the Liu family, it is better to be a shopkeeper in the Liu family first, ten years later, the old man will accept you as a disciple and teach you the practice of qigong in the Liu family, which is enough to establish a career in Wujiang. ”
After speaking, an incomparable momentum poured out from his body, and a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon stared at Liu Ming tightly.
"Dad, why do you want to pass it on now?" Liu Yunfei heard that it would take ten years, and she was so anxious that she almost shed tears, shaking her father's arm and said coquettishly.
Liu Yong ignored Liu Yunfei and just looked at Liu Ming. His eyes gradually became kind, because he knew that if Liu Ming wanted to continue cultivating immortals, there was no better choice than to join the Liu family. And this is also an opportunity that many people can't ask for.
If it was Liu Ming in the past, under Liu Yong's coercion and temptation, he might still consider it, but now, just practicing qi is no longer his goal, his journey is the entire continent and the supreme true immortal.
Liu Ming's face remained unchanged, and he replied lightly: "Thank you Master Liu for your love, such a big thing, the kid must be enlightened to his parents before he can reply." I hope the master will forgive me. ”
Liu Yong couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that Liu Ming didn't agree immediately, but this made him appreciate Liu Ming even more, and he was confident that after Liu Ming hit a wall for a while, he would eventually obediently listen to his arrangement. There is no rush for this time.
So he smiled and nodded, "Well, no matter when, the door of the Liu family will always be open to you." ”
Liu Yunfei sent Liu Ming outside the gate, pouting and saying angrily: "Why didn't Brother Ming agree to my father's suggestion first, I will find a way to let him pass on the heart method to you earlier in the future?"
Liu Ming avoided the girl's burning eyes, turned his head to look west, looked through the city, the river and the mountains, looked at the distant clouds and the other side of the mountain, and said slowly: "The world is so big, I want to see it."
Liu Yunfei read a young man's firm confidence and unyielding ambition from Liu Ming's firm tone and resolute expression, and his heart was in a trance, when the sun was setting, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the city, the river, and the mountain were still as beautiful and familiar as these years, but the people in front of him were a little strange.
She nodded, took off a piece of jade pendant she was carrying, and handed it to Liu Ming: "That's fine, I'm going to Zixia Mountain in a few days, the state capital is at the foot of Zixia Mountain, if you go to Qiantang Mansion, you can take this jade pendant to the Changchuntang Pharmacy to find my eldest brother Liu Feng, he should be able to give you some help." ”
Liu Ming saw that the beauty was sincere, so he had to take the jade pendant and turn away.
Liu Yunfei watched Liu Ming's back in the golden sunlight, gradually moving away, dragging on longer and longer, and finally blurred in the vast twilight.
