——————
On the street in front of the door, some monks came from time to time, obviously going to Mu's house for a banquet.
What made Lin Yi feel strange was that the cultivation levels of these monks were all above the fifth level of Qi training. Could it be that this old man went from the third level of Qi training to the fifth level of Qi training more than half a month ago just to attend the banquet? In addition, it took more than half a month to get here with the people from the Tianlong Sect. What's more, when he left Luoxia Town, he paid special attention to the old man's movements, but he did not follow him. How did he get through the mountains and forests?
After entering Mu's house, Lin Yi's thoughts were a little confused. Now that he encountered such a confusing thing, he shook his head vigorously. I thought to myself, there are a lot of things I don’t understand, so just keep walking.
Walking on the streets of Qifengpo, Lin Yi, who was secretly paying attention, found something different after only a few steps. There are several strange shops with signboards with fairy characters hanging in front of them, and there are no ordinary goods in the shops. His eyes lit up, he looked up and saw a 'Luoxia Fairy Shop', and he walked in.
There was only one young waiter in the shop, who rushed up to greet customers when they came in. It turns out that this is a shop that buys medicinal herbs and sells elixirs. The shelves are filled with jade bottles, exuding the fragrance of medicine.
The young man introduced Lin Yi with a smile, including the Qi Condensing Pill, Spirit Gathering Pill, and Bigu Pill used by the disciples in the Qi training period; there were also wound medicines Zhengyuan Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, and Detoxifying Pill that were specially used by monks.
Lin Yi expressed his intention to buy some pills used by Jianghu people. The waiter was a little disappointed, so he took out a few jade bottles and put them on the counter, and said, "These are the Yuan-Cleaning Pill and the Yuan-Building Pill, each of which contains twenty pills."
"I want these from you, as well as some Qi Condensing Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills, and some medicine for injuries. I wonder if there are any Qi Gathering Pills in the store?" Lin Yi asked, pointing to the medicine bottles on the counter.
The clerk thought that Lin Yi was a monk. When he learned that the other party wanted the elixir used by Jianghu people, he thought that he had made a mistake.
There are many mortals who come to Qifengpo to buy elixirs, but few can take out the spiritual stones to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to buy not only ordinary elixirs, but also elixirs used by monks. The man became enthusiastic about this again.
Lin Yi spent twenty spiritual stones and bought a large bag of elixirs, and then left with the smile on his face. He visited a few more shops, and the items sold there were similar, but he didn't see the Qi Gathering Pill he wanted to buy.
…
In the inn where the Tianlong Sect was located, Ji Tang and Yu Zixian were drinking wine, their faces no longer showing the excitement they had when they first arrived at Qifengpo.
"I can't believe that you and I have gone through so much hardship and died so many people, and finally got here. In a few days, we will have to return again!" After sighing with emotion, Yu Zi first raised his head and drank the wine in his glass. , sighed heavily. He is no longer the talkative and funny person he used to be, and his demeanor is a bit more sophisticated and calm.
After filling up the wine, Ji Tang held the cup in one hand and touched his thick stubble with the other. He silently pondered over the wine glass, and then he said in a deep voice: "The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books! The many hardships along the way are not all in vain! When I return to Jiulong Mountain one day, when I’m so proud of my trip to Daxia!”
Yu Zixian's eyes twitched, and he was about to raise his wine glass, but then he stood up and said, "Junior brother Lin is here..."
…
After finding the inn where the Tianlong Sect was located, Lin Yi met everyone happily and couldn't help but exchange greetings. After talking, he came to Hongan's room. The latter was a little surprised and couldn't guess the other party's intention.
Ever since he escaped from danger in that underground cave last time, Hong'an had looked down and out all the way. He had lost his previous chicness, looked thinner, and had a more gloomy look on his face.
"I wonder what Brother Lin's orders are?" Hong An asked.
Lin Yi took out a few bottles of the elixir he bought and said: "Master Hong, if you want to get the elixir from here, it will not be easy. I bought a few bottles for you, and you can also pay for it when you go back." Let’s go to the emperor’s office!”
"This...how should I thank Brother Lin!" Hong An rubbed his hands uneasily, thought for a moment, slapped his head suddenly, and took out a bead as big as a chicken egg from his arms in a panic and said: "I wonder if these beads are enough..."
Meng Shan had returned the luminous pearl, and Lin Yi was not interested in these jewels. He put the elixir bottle on the table in front of the bed and said with a smile: "If you don't need a few dollars, I'll give it to you."
"How is this possible? Brother Lin has been a great favor to me, and Hong'an dare not say thank you. Now he is worried about my urgent needs, so he has given me such a huge favor and helped me a lot. If you don't even want a bead, How can I feel at ease?" Hong An was really anxious, and he knelt down regardless of his identity.
Stopping the other party's move, Lin Yi said: "Young Master Hong, you don't have to be like this, I just want this bead."
Hearing this, Hong An stood up and smiled. He put the beads into Lin Yi's hands and said emotionally: "I know these pills are valuable and cannot be replaced by a single bead. But this bead is I have been wearing this thing since I was a child. I am afraid that you and I will never see it again, so I gave this thing to Brother Lin as a memory."
Lin Yiyi accepted the bead, and Hong An said eagerly: "I have another unkind request. I want to ask Brother Lin for another favor!" As he said that, he lowered his head uneasily.
"Say it! I will not refuse if I can do my best!" Lin Yi said.
Hong An nodded and said with a somewhat sad expression: "After I go back, if the capital cannot accommodate me, I want to go to Jiulong Mountain to live in seclusion, so that I can be stable for the rest of my life. But this matter is hard to talk about, and I am also afraid of Elder Meng If he doesn’t agree, he would like to ask Brother Lin to recommend him.”
It is really not easy for a prince to think of returning to the mountains and forests! Lin Yi smiled and said: "Young Master Hong really means this. I'll tell Elder Meng later. If he doesn't agree, it's not a bad idea for you to become a hermit on top of the immortal mountain!"
"What... you, Xianrending, are also a sect?" Hong An asked in confusion.
"That's natural. I come from Xuanyuan Taoist Temple on Xianrending. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be a Taoist priest?" Lin Yi smiled, cupped his hands, said sorry, turned around and left, leaving Hong An murmuring. Talking to yourself——
A Taoist priest from Xuanyuan Temple? Coming out of Lin Yi, an immortal sect, this is amazing! Thinking of this, the gloom on Hong An's face suddenly disappeared. He didn't care about the pills anymore, picked up his clothes and chased out.
…
Qifeng Mountain behind Mujia can also be said to be Xifeng Mountain, with its green and beautiful scenery. At the foot of the mountain, there are lush trees, exotic flowers and fragrant grasses.
This is the forbidden area of the Mu family manor, the retreat for the family elders.
On the cliff at the foot of the mountain, in a cave filled with spiritual energy, two people were sitting on futons on the ground. The heads of the Mu family, Mu Shangqing and Mu Zhixin, were talking.
Mu Zhixin looked at the owner's residence with some envy. There are quiet rooms, living rooms, alchemy rooms, and study rooms in the cave. This place is closest to the spiritual veins at the foot of the mountain and has the most abundant spiritual energy. It is actually a good place for cultivation, much better than the cave abode not far away.
Xu Shi could see what Mu Zhixin was thinking. Mu Shangqing shook his head and said: "There is only one spiritual vein in our Mu family, which is the foundation of our family's destiny. Although the spiritual vein is not big, it is also the legacy of our ancestor Fumeng. For the sake of the Mu family, I won’t be stingy. When you make a breakthrough in cultivation, you can come here for retreat!”
"Thank you so much, Uncle Clan!" Mu Zhixin leaned over and smiled.
Among the senior members of the Mu family, this person is the one with the lowest cultivation level among the four elders, but he is younger in age. Compared with the other three who are over a hundred years old, he is about the same age as a child. In addition, he was open-minded and intelligent, and Mu Zhixin was relied upon as a confidant by the head of the family, Mu Shangqing.
In a family, the monk's cultivation is very important, but the monk's age cannot be ignored either. For example, Mu Shangqing reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage when he was two hundred years old. In Wanli Luoxia Mountain, he overpowered the Wan Family and the Yan Family, becoming the first among the three major families. This seems to be a beautiful thing, but it is not!
If in the next fifty years, Mu Shangqing's cultivation cannot reach the completion of the foundation building stage and break through, and finally condense into a golden elixir, everything will be in vain. And these fifty years are half a lifetime for mortals, but just a blink of an eye for monks.
But if you want to cultivate the golden elixir in decades, it is extremely difficult and even a luxury. The longest lifespan in the foundation building stage is only 250 or 60 years. If you cannot break through the foundation building stage by then, your lifespan will be exhausted and your life will be exhausted.
This is what Mu Shangqing is worried about. Among the four nephews and nephews who have cultivated in the foundation period, except Mu Zhixin, who is still young, the other three are in their hundreds or tens of years. These three people are all in the middle stage of foundation building, so they are destined to have no hope of golden elixir in this life. The future of the Mu family can only be placed in the younger generation.
