Main Text Chapter 731: Excellent Character

(Worship, no updates today)

Master Yuling is not easy to scold, but some people are easy to scold. After leaving the Zhengqi Palace, Baoning and Baoxin were pulled aside by their teacher, Taoist Master Detian, and gave him a severe scolding. Only then did they understand the progress they had made without knowing it. .

In the valley where she was training hard on weekdays, Pauline bent down and sat on a big rock, hugging her legs and resting her chin on her knees in a daze.

Grandpa is the head of the Zhengqi Sect, and she has good talent in cultivation. Among the same batch of disciples in the sect, she is considered outstanding, so she naturally has something to be proud of. But since Miao Yi came, her self-esteem has been hit one after another, and she can't explain how she feels. Her progress is not as good as that of the two Bailian juniors, and she feels that she has been humiliated.

Two figures came through the air and landed in the valley. Two junior sisters in the Red Lotus realm, Baolan and Baoxia, the latter shouted to Baolian who was sitting on the mountainside: "Senior sister, it's time to practice."

Baolian came back to her senses and landed in the valley. She shook her head and said, "I won't practice anymore. Our training methods are not as good as those of Bao Ning and Baoxin."

"Oh!" The two of them responded and glanced at each other secretly. In fact, the two of them also discovered after today's competition and assessment, but there were some things that they couldn't say out loud, so they just continued to cooperate. Now that they saw Pauline relenting, the two of them People also breathed a sigh of relief.

Baolian said: "Let's go back and see how junior brothers Baoxin and Baoning practice."

Baolan immediately waved her hands and said, "No! The master just issued a decree, strictly prohibiting the disciples from spying on Baoxin and Baoning's martial arts practice."

Bao Xia nodded and continued: "The headmaster said that this is the practice method of Master Niu. Zhengqi Men went to peek and learn secretly, which is really a villain's behavior. If word spread, it will become a laughing stock in the practice world, so he did not get permission from Master Niu. Anyone who goes to peek at the two junior disciples practicing without permission will be severely punished."

Baolan said with a smile: "But the leader has said it. If you can get the consent of Master Niu, Zhengqimen will not stop you. Senior sister, take us to your bamboo hut to sit down!"

Baolian squinted and said, "Are you trying to get close to Master Niu?"

"Hehe, senior sister noticed it. Senior sister, let's go, let's go!" The two junior sisters each pinched her arm and dragged her away.

However, when they arrived at Miao Yi's small fenced courtyard, they found that Miao Yi was not there. I searched inside and outside the house but couldn't find anyone.

"Hey! Where did Master Niu go?" Baoxia wondered.

Baolian was silent, shook her head and said, "There's no need to look for him. He usually doesn't go anywhere else except the spiritual field where he grows spiritual grass. He must have gone to the spiritual field to drink with Uncle De Chef."

Baolan was stunned and asked, "When will you come back?"

Pauline shook her head, "The return date is uncertain. Sometimes he comes back on the same day. Sometimes he comes back only three to five days ago, and sometimes he comes back only once every ten days and a half. He has a good relationship with Uncle Chef De."

Bao Xia was surprised and said: "Uncle De Shishi has a bad temper. Most people don't dare to go to the spiritual field. Other masters and uncles don't want to provoke him. It's not easy for him and Uncle De Shi to get together." ”

Pauline muttered: "The devil knows how he did it."

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed outside the fenced courtyard. It was none other than Master Yuling.

The three of them met. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I've met the leader!"

Master Yu Ling nodded and said, "You are here too, where is Master Niu?"

Baolian said: "I don't know, I probably went to the spiritual field."

Master Yu Ling was startled and nodded slightly. He also knew that Miao Yi often went to Ling Tian. He also wondered how Miao Yi could hang out with the dog-tempered De Shi.

"You two go back first. I have something to tell Baolian." Master Yuling said to Baoxia and Baolan.

The two Taoist nuns immediately recognized each other and said goodbye.

Watching the two people leave, Master Yuling looked at Baolian, who was slightly bowed and unhappy. How could he not know what kind of person his granddaughter was, so arrogant and arrogant! Immediately sighed: "Baolian, you can't just blame others for some things, you have to think about whether you have failed to do the right thing. Why is the layman Niu willing to really give advice to Baoning and Baoxin? Could it be that the two of them have nothing to give to the layman Niu? They have nothing. Yes, at least it is definitely not as good as you. This shows that Master Niu is not a self-respecting person, so the problem must be with you. Pauline, if you are arrogant, everyone in the disciples will give in to you. You three points, but Master Niu is not an upright person after all. If you can't let go of your body, he will not owe you anything because he is virtuous. Do you understand what I mean?"

Pauline felt so wronged that she wanted to cry, but she bit her lip and nodded, "Pauline understands!"

Lingtian is the place where Zhengqimen grows spiritual grass. Just as Baolian guessed, the master of the Miao Palace is indeed here. Moreover, he has been hanging out here for a long time in the past six months and has a good relationship with the Taoist priest who is in charge of Lingtian. .

In Bao Xia's words, De Shi's temper is not very good and it is indeed difficult to deal with him, but nothing is difficult in the world as long as he is willing.

The master of Miao Palace came here with a purpose in mind. He was willing to be wronged and used his brains to do what he wanted. Naturally, he succeeded in taking down Deshi and became a frequent visitor to Lingtian.

In a piece of dry and cracked land, there was soil dug out from the hole constantly, and a thick pile of dust piled up next to the hole. Master Miao was digging and digging like a field mouse in the hole one foot deep. Became a native.

Outside the cave entrance, facing the wind, an old Taoist priest with skewed features and cross-eyed eyes was sitting cross-legged, drinking wine, and occasionally asked, "Did you dig it yet?"

"Cross-eyed, don't rush, it's none of my business if you dig it out!" Miao Yi replied in the hole.

Not long after, Miao Yi's eyes lit up, and something like black jade appeared. Miao Yi quickly pulled the surrounding soil, and soon, a black, exquisite and long thing like a blood twig was cleaned out. The only difference was in color. The blood twig was blood red, but this palm-sized thing was jet black. Translucent, like a piece of black jade.

This thing is called Wu Qiongzhi, one of the five main herbs used to refine Xianyuan Dan. The five main ingredients are White Qiongzhi, Green Qiongzhi, Wu Qiongzhi, Blood Qiongzhi, and Huang Qiongzhi, which correspond to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This five-flavored spiritual grass can be said to be the five-element spiritual grass. When the five spiritual grasses are smelted together, an elixir full of spiritual energy can be refined. The so-called spiritual energy is actually the energy of the five elements. Only when it has the ability to continue to grow and develop can it be called spiritual energy.

It can be seen from the small circle of ice soul surrounding the Wu Qiongzhi that this is the Water Spirit Grass. The water spirit grass grows in the soil, and it is related to the conflict between the five elements. The spiritual energy sent from heaven and the soil will remain soil if they are followed, and changes will occur if they are restrained, so that incompatible energy can be filtered out.

Metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes metal. They contradict each other. The blood twigs Miao Yi got from killing the snake demon last time are fire-moving spiritual grass. This is why the blood twigs grow in the water. reason.

Miao Yi spent more than half a year in Lingtian and finally figured out how to grow the main ingredient of Xianyuan Dan. Planting this thing is not a big secret. Most sects here know the planting method. Knowing the planting method is the second most important thing. The key is to have the conditions to grow it.

"The cross-eyes are dug out. Are they picked according to the theory of the five elements' mutual development?" Miao Yi shouted in the hole.

Suddenly someone outside laughed and said: "Water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, and metal produces water. Cut the knife an inch away from the root system. Don't hurt the root system, otherwise the root system will not survive and will have to be replanted."

"Jin Sheng Shui..." Miao Yi muttered, took out a gold knife, lay down on the ground and stuck out his butt, and was about to use the knife. Suddenly he felt that the voice outside was not right, it didn't sound like a cross-eyed voice. He looked up and saw that Seeing Master Yuling holding his hands behind his back and looking down with a smile.

"Uh... Leader!"

Just as Miao Yi was about to get up, Master Yuling pressed his hands down and said, "No need to be polite, you go about your business first."

Miao Yi chuckled and continued to lie down. He carefully cast a spell to isolate the dust around the Wu Qiongzhi. He aimed the knife at an inch away from the root system and quickly cut the knife. Then a small piece of silver foil quickly sealed the wound on the root system of the Wu Qiongzhi. , avoid contact with external dust.

After doing this, he came out ecstatically, held the black twigs in front of Taoist Master De with both hands, and said, "Cross-eye, here you go, I picked it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. Master Yuling was standing nearby, and he shouted out cross-eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Chief Chef De's wine gourd had been hidden for a long time, and he took the Wu Qiongzhi from Miao Yi and put it away.

Although he has a bad temper, he naturally behaves well in front of the head master.

Master Yu Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. This was the first time he heard Miao Yi call De Shi cross-eyed, but De Shi was not angry at all.

Looking at Miao Yi's appearance of crawling out of the soil, Master Yuling really admired it. He felt that Miao Yi was very simple. In addition, he regarded money as dirt, had compassion and righteousness in his heart, hated evil as much as hatred, and did not cherish his own practice. He could give guidance to Baoning and Baoxin. , he can still get along with people with a temperament like Deshi, and his character is not to mention. He is indeed a young man who deserves to be well cultivated, but it is a pity that he refuses to be his disciple.

Miao Yi turned around to fill in the excavated soil again. Taoist priest De Shi quickly said: "The master has something to do with you. Someone will do it later."

Miao Yi said in surprise: "The leader is looking for me?"

Master Yuling pointed to the pavilion on the mountain not far away, "Bulk, please take a step to speak!"

Miao Yi was confident and nodded and followed him to the pavilion. Outside the pavilion, he cast a spell to shake the dust off his body before entering.

Master Yuling, who was seated, stretched out his hand to signal Miao Yi to sit down as well. Fang asked strangely, "The layman seems to be very interested in planting spiritual herbs?"

Miao Yi felt a little nervous, but on the surface he said indifferently: "On the one hand, I am interested, and on the other hand, I want to learn a skill casually so that I can make a living in the future."

"Making a living?" Master Yuling was stunned.

Miao Yi spread his hands and said matter-of-factly: "Young people can't rely on Zhengqimen to eat and drink for free all their lives. After you learn how to grow spiritual grass, you can make a living by growing and selling spiritual grass. Then you won't have to worry about the elixir you can use if you have the spiritual grass." , you can refine it yourself.”

Master Yuling was quite speechless, thinking that you made it easy. Do you think you can grow vegetables just by finding a piece of land? If this were to be the case, wouldn't the world be filled with spiritual herbs and elixirs? After being stunned for a while, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's up to you. I have something else to discuss with a layperson. I don't know if it's appropriate or not." (To be continued...)
