Chapter 61: A Person Blinded by Greed

————I have something to do in the morning, so I'll post it now.

At this time, the dishes ordered by Shi Xuan had been brought up by the maid. The dishes were light in color but fragrant, making the three people at the table swallow their saliva. Li Daoren quickly took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the maid: "Fellow Daoist Shi, don't fight with me, this meal is on my table!"

Shi Xuan had no objection, it's not like I owe you a favor just because I eat your food.

The maid said awkwardly: "Sir, it's two spirit stones in total, and this fish sashimi is one spirit stone."

When Shi Xuan ordered the first dish, Li Daoren hadn't entered the building yet. When he heard this, he was shocked. What dish was so expensive? But in a blink of an eye, he remembered the fish sashimi made from the Qi-inducing monster that was recently spreading. His face twitched a few times, but he still took out another low-grade spirit stone and handed it over with a pained heart.

After the maid left, Li Daoren called the two people: "Come, come, let's taste this Qi-inducing monster today." After saying that, he picked up a thin piece of white fish sashimi.

The fish sashimi was cut very thinly and looked almost transparent. Out of habit, after checking that there was no problem, Shi Xuan picked up a piece and gently put it into his mouth. It was fresh and tender, and the fishy smell mixed with the fiery hot breath of the fish meat, wonderfully forming a fragrant and sweet taste. In addition, it melted in the mouth, it was really a top-quality delicacy.

After the fish sashimi was eaten, a hot current rose, just like drinking strong liquor, but not so spicy. The hot current rose from the lower abdomen to the throat, and Shi Xuan couldn't help but spit out a breath of mixed air, and suddenly there was a lightness in his lungs, just like the feeling of removing impurities when forging the body.

The three looked at each other, and each other looked satisfied. They couldn't help but smile at each other and continued the previous topic while eating.

"The first four of the five major techniques of Penglai Sect are: "The True Explanation of the Divine Wind of the Six Combinations of Heaven and Earth", "The Canglang Song Jue", "The Flame Dragon Divine Fire Technique", and "The True Transmission of the Minor Heavenly Thunder Method". The last one, "The Ten Thousand Thunders Transformed into Water Jue", cultivates the Ten Thousand Thunders and Water Qi, which has miraculous effects in healing, promoting the growth of grass and alchemy, but is not good for fighting. Therefore, almost no one in Penglai Sect practices this technique." This time it was Yu Cheng who spoke up. It seems that many people in the Sandao Sea know about the Penglai Sect.

Li Daoren took over Yu Cheng's words: "In addition to the three true transmissions and five major techniques, the Penglai Sect also has many low-level secrets. Even if you can't become an inner disciple, you can choose one of them for free after entering the outer sect. It is much better than those shabby techniques on the first floor of Langhuan Pavilion. Pah, those shabby techniques are still sold for more than ten low-grade spirit stones!"

"Oh, what about Yingzhou Sect?" Although Shi Xuan has already tended to choose Penglai Sect because of the Samadhi Divine Wind Qi, it is also good to learn more about Yingzhou Sect and have a comparison.

"Many people know about the two major true teachings of the Yingzhou Sect. One is the "Taishang Xianger Jiujie Zhushu" and the other is the "Tianshu Feixing Mizang Dadong Zhenjing". However, we, the low-level casual cultivators, don't know what kind of true qi is cultivated by the "Taishang Xianger Jiujie Zhushu". The "Tianshu Feixing Mizang Dadong Zhenjing" cultivates the Ten Thousand Stars Yuanci true qi, which is extremely powerful. In addition, there are only two kinds of exercises for their inner sect, "Taishang Shuo Qingqi Jiubian Miaojing" and "Dadong Wuxing Mizianzhu Jing". There is also a method between the inner sect and the outer sect, "Dayu Longwang Jue", which will be taught to the outer sect disciples when they have made great achievements." Li Daoren really knows all these things.

Shi Xuan originally wanted to ask about the Luofu Immortal Sect and the four major sects, but then he thought that if he didn't know these things, people would look down on him. If he didn't mention it, it might make people who didn't want to have bad intentions have bad intentions. It's better to read the jade slips at night, or ask someone else tomorrow. So he led the topic to the ceremony of recruiting disciples. Because the skills of the Yingzhou Sect were really incompatible with his own, he only asked about the Penglai Sect.

"The Penglai Sect only has 80 outer disciples and 20 outer deacons this time, because the inner disciples are selected from the outer disciples, and they don't directly recruit inner disciples. So, Fellow Daoist Shi, you not only have to face the challenge of thousands of out-of-body cultivators in several seas, but also hundreds of Qi-inducing masters, not to mention the more numerous Qi-nourishing cultivators and those talented children. It's really difficult." Li Daoren's face didn't look good, and Yu Cheng's face was also as red as the bottom of a pot.

Shi Xuan was shocked by this. This is too few.

It seemed that Shi Xuan was shocked, which made Li Daoren feel better. His face eased and he continued, "Fortunately, Penglai Sect does not only look at the realm of cultivation, but also values ​​a person's character, perseverance, talent, root bone, and understanding. Therefore, in addition to the twenty outer sect deacons who must be in the Qi Induction Stage, the eighty outer sect disciples are divided into four parts. The first part is thirty children under the age of twelve. After all, every sect likes disciples who are cultivated from childhood. The other two are twenty in the Qi Cultivation Stage, twenty in the Out-of-Body Stage, and ten in the Qi Induction Stage."

After a pause, Li Daoren looked at Shi Xuan with a rather complicated look: "If you, Daoist Fellow Shi, had not taken the Rejuvenating Pill, you would be in your early twenties. If you can reach the Out-of-Body Stage at this age, if you don't have the support of your family, then your perseverance, talent, root bone, and understanding are also outstanding. As long as your character is not bad and your family is clean, you will definitely have a place among the twenty Out-of-Body Stage outer sect disciples."

Shi Xuan could only smile bitterly in his heart. Deacon Zhang of Langhuan Pavilion had also said so. But being able to cultivate to the Out-of-Body Stage so quickly was due to Du Bai's good physical training and supreme skills. Du Bai might have good talent and understanding, but this has little to do with the current me. I am at most an average person, and I still have this self-knowledge. As for the root bone, I feel that I should be above average after practicing for the past few years. I have some confidence in my character, but this is more illusory and has different standards. So the only thing I can show is perseverance.

And the most troublesome thing is the requirement of a clean family. There is nothing wrong with coming from the Middle Earth. After all, there is still the living Taoist Daoquanzi. Hiding this point is just a way to death. But what kind of skills are cultivated can only lie that it is the "Return to the True Sutra". Shi Xuan will not take out the supreme method and then pin all his hopes on others. They are masters who are greedy and cannot suppress reason.

But how did these guys know that he was in the Out-of-Body Stage? I have locked up my Qi, so I can't see it.

Yu Cheng next to him sighed, "I am also twenty-five years old, probably older than the senior, but I haven't even seen the shadow of the out-of-body stage." As the three of them talked more, Yu Cheng no longer kept modestly calling himself "younger".

Li Daoren laughed, "Yu kid, I only entered the out-of-body stage when I was thirty-nine. You still have to work hard for a few more years."

"Yes, the biggest headache for us casual cultivators in cultivating Qi is that we don't have a good practice. The speed of internal Qi accumulation is slow, and the visualization method is poor. We can only use time to temper it." Yu Cheng was very resentful about the practice.

"In fact, I still lack spirit stones. By the way, fellow Daoist Shi, are you interested in making some money so that you can buy more pills and make a breakthrough in the next six months to increase the possibility of joining the Penglai Sect." Li Daoren mentioned it casually.

"Oh, what's the good deal?" It finally came. Shi Xuan had always been extremely wary of this Li Daoist who had spied on him and suddenly came up to talk to him. Was he trying to trick him?

Li Daoist lowered his voice, looked at Yu Cheng, and finally said: "Less than a thousand miles of sea to the south of Chao Xi Fang is the Falling Star Sea. Last time, I and a few fellow Taoists found a small island in a secret place there. There was an ancient cultivator's cave on it. Unfortunately, the remaining protective formation was still very powerful. We had to return to Chao Xi Fang to find a few more helpers. Fellow Taoist Shi and I hit it off at first sight. Naturally, I have to introduce such a good thing to you." As he spoke, he took out a sea map and some ancient artifacts found outside the cave, as if asking Shi Xuan to check it out.

This is not to cheat me, but to kill me. Shi Xuan remained calm on the surface, but he cursed in his heart. Although these ancient artifacts seemed to have been unearthed not long ago, a cultivator who has known you for less than a quarter of an hour is very attentive to invite you to explore and hunt for treasures. Is he thinking I am a fool or are you a fool? !

"Sorry, I have decided to retreat in the market for half a year, and I really can't go." Shi Xuan refused straightforwardly.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, how can you be so short-sighted? How many spirit stones can be exchanged for the things in a cave ruins? What if I can't enter Penglai Sect in half a year? With these spirit stones, I can buy the Supreme Induction Pill myself, and I may be able to break through to the Qi Induction Stage. Fellow Daoist Shi, we are good friends, so I am giving you this advice. You should think about it carefully." Li Daoren looked serious and distressed.

Unfortunately, Shi Xuan had been through TV shopping and direct sales, and was very experienced. He didn't believe Li Daoren's words at all, and didn't want to get entangled with him, so he asked directly: "Friends? Are we familiar with each other?"

Li Daoren was speechless, his face flushed and pale, probably because he didn't expect Shi Xuan to be able to put down his face immediately after eating him, and didn't show any mercy at all. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Fellow Daoist Shi must be safe in Chaoxifang." After saying that, he left in a huff.

Shi Xuan didn't expect Li Daoren to be so thin-skinned. Even if the MLM personnel he had seen were scolded to death, they continued to deceive without changing their expressions. He had prepared more sharp and vicious words, but none of them came in handy.

It was getting late today, and he must go to rent a cave tomorrow. He accidentally took the top-grade magic weapon to the market, which really made these greedy people jealous, so there was no need to get entangled with them.

"Yu Cheng, have you heard of this Li Dao Ren?" Shi Xuan also wanted to test these people's background, and he was prepared for the worst.

Yu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, although I have a wide range of knowledge, it is limited to some famous masters and disciples of the sect. There are many cultivators coming and going in Chao Xi Fang every day, and many of them are from other seas. I have never heard of this Li Dao Ren."

Shi Xuan nodded without comment and called Yu Cheng, "Let's continue eating, don't waste the food."
