Chapter 97.

“I didn’t realize that at such a young age, Fellow Daoist Zhou had actually rented a courtyard on South Street.

I did hear Xiao Yue say that Fellow Daoist Zhou was only a casual spirit farmer before, renting a few acres of spirit harvest rice outside of the marketplace.

Now it seems to be a bit biased.”

Standing in tan san’s courtyard, Shen Xinyue also revealed a look of surprise and said.

She had thought that tan san had rented a spiritual field within the Spiritual Plant Hall to plant Hui Ling Grass, and because of the cultivation methods, even if he planted Hui Ling Grass, the quality would not be too high, and the quantity would not be too much, which is why she had previously said that she would allow Qian Xiao Yue to purchase the grass on her own.

After that, it was because she wanted to be the gatekeeper for Qian Xiaoyue’s sister, who was very close to her, that she decided to receive her personally.

Unexpectedly, tan san to show her Hui spirit grass, the quality is very high, and the number, not her previous thought of a hundred or so, but more than two thousand, almost three thousand …….

This was no wonder she was not shocked, and only then, in the first instance, decided to personally walk up a trip.

“It’s just luck, plus Pops left some assets for me, otherwise I would still have to fight my way through the wild spirit fields.”

tan san said with a humble smile.

“That’s also because your skills are good.

It’s not an ordinary person who can grow Spirit Sinking Grass of this quality.

I reckon that the grade of Daoist Zhou’s spirit plant should not be low, right?”

Shen Xinyue couldn’t help but praise it as well and said.

“That’s something I don’t know.

The Spirit Plant Hall’s assessment of Spirit Plant Masters is a different system.

I haven’t tried it either.”

tan san shook his head and said.

At least in the very beginning, he had failed to qualify for the Spirit Plant Master assessment, and that was why he was let loose and went out to cultivate spirit fields at the foot of Changling Mountain.

Spiritual Plant Apprentices who were truly qualified to be cultivated, then of course, they were still staying in the Spiritual Plant Hall, being given an earful by the official Spiritual Plant Master, always admonishing and teaching.

“I think that you should go and try to take the test, if you have a formal Spiritual Plant Master qualification, it will be beneficial to you.

Even if your cultivation qualifications are poor, you will still be able to join a sect with the status of Spiritual Planter.

For example, in our Water Cloud Immortal Sect, if an ordinary cultivator has the strength of a first-order upper grade Spiritual Planter, they will be able to directly join the Water Cloud Immortal Sect and become our Water Cloud Immortal Sect disciples.”

Shen Xinyue smiled and opened her mouth.

“Inner disciple?”

tan san asked hesitantly.

Rather, he also knew that some people with profound spiritual planting means would be absorbed by the sect and leap into sect disciples.

For example, the previous owner of this small courtyard of his was a person with high spiritual planting means, and then was ‘specially recruited’ by the Qingyuan Sect, and now it was estimated that he had already become a disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, with a status that was very different.

“Outer Sect.

However, even though they are only outer disciples, they are able to enjoy the many cultivation resources of my Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

Techniques, spirit pills, spirit stones, corresponding cultivation resources, all of them are provided.

It’s much better than the loose cultivators who cultivate outside.”

Shen Xinyue explained.

“I will consider it.”

tan san responded, but did not say anything more.

Which of the general loose cultivators hadn’t thought of entering the Immortal Dharma Sect to cultivate?

He had naturally thought about it as well.

Not only had he thought about it, he had also thought carefully about the feasibility of it.

Then, he was stopped dead in his tracks by his spiritual root qualifications.

For example, the Qingyuan Sect has one of the most basic conditions for entering the sect, that is, one must have three spirit root cultivators in order to participate in the assessment of the entrance.

Non-three spirit root cultivator, it is not impossible to enter the sect, but must have a skill, and even if into the sect, but only the outer disciple.

Of course, this was for casual cultivators like them who had experience in cultivation.

If it was a child, because it was cultivated from a young age, perhaps it was otherwise different.

The Water Cloud Immortal Sect, in fact, was the same.

Even within the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, there was a Jindan Great Cultivator who once said this, ”Cultivating Immortality? Cultivate what immortal? Are you qualified to cultivate immortality?’

This sentence was widely circulated.

It was said to be about a four attribute spiritual root cultivator who was mocked by the other party.

The meaning that was circulated and understood by most cultivators was that without a qualification of three spirit roots or more, one was not qualified to cultivate immortality at all.

Although some of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s disciples later explained that it was that Jindan Great Cultivator reprimanding and teaching his own offspring, and that the words had been spoken to one of his own direct grandsons as well.

But the words were spread out, and naturally the flavor changed.

It was also seen by many as the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s standard for recruiting disciples.

It was also worth mentioning that that ‘grandson’, who had been reprimanded by the Jindan great cultivator, had successfully built his foundation at the age of sixty, truly laying the foundation for Immortal Cultivation.

On the contrary, another descendant with dual spiritual root qualifications, who had always been favored by the Jindan cultivator, failed to establish the foundation and died at the age of ninety-eight.

That said.

If tan san was able to join the inner door of the sect, he could use this to contact more profound and powerful cultivation techniques, spells, and even have a master to teach, he was naturally willing to try.

But the outer door ……

The situation of the disciples of the outer door is not much better than that of the casual cultivators like them.

All kinds of cultivation resources, all need to strive for their own, spend effort to earn.

There is no master to teach them, and although they can learn the techniques and spells, they need to serve the sect and earn enough contributions before they can obtain ……

It could be said that the outer disciples of the great Immortal Sects were actually equivalent to casual cultivators with an identity.

Apart from this identity of an Immortal Sect disciple, they were no different from a casual cultivator.

“Senior Shen, please!”

As he spoke, tan san brought them to the front hall of his small courtyard, then pointed to the baskets within the hall and said, “Together with the five plants from before, there are a total of two thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight Spirit Sinking Grasses, all of which are here.

Please also check it out and count it, senior!”

“Sure enough, it’s all Spirit Sinking Grass.

Moreover, such quality is not any different from those five plants before, and there are many of even higher quality ……”

Shen Xinyue sniffed and also stepped forward to look at these Spirit Convergence Grasses, then with a pair of beautiful eyes, she could not stop sizing up tan san.

She had thought that the five Hui Ling Grass samples that Zhou Chang Wang had taken out earlier were the treasures that he had specially selected, and the remaining Hui Ling Grasses were estimated to be of much poorer quality.

This is also a very normal thing, in her management of the Water Cloud Pavilion, and even encountered people to substituting the good for the bad, or even similar fake goods instead of the real thing.

However, tan san’s batch of Spiritual Grasses, each with abundant spiritual energy, casually took out a plant, all of which could be considered treasures.

There are a few plants, even the branches and leaves are all purple, but the rhizomes are reddish, this is the sign that the Spirit Grass is about to be upgraded, from the beginning of the first grade to the middle of the first grade.

If it was cultivated smoothly, causing it to condense its ‘seeds’, then the next generation of Spirit Convergence Grass would most likely transform into a Grade 1 Middle Grade Spirit Material.

This kind of treasure amongst treasures, the average spiritual planter would not be able to take it out and sell it, and would keep it for seed.

As a result, they were all dug out by tan san and sold directly.

“All of these, are you selling them all?”

Between Shen Xinyue’s thoughts, she hurriedly opened her mouth to ask.

Qian Xiaoyue on the side also looked at tan san with a startled expression.

She had seen tan san’s spiritual field before, and knew that he had planted this Hui Ling Grass, but because it had not matured last time, she was not clear about the quality of the specific spiritual plant.

The reason why she had asked if the Spirit Grass had found a buyer was not only to help Shen Xinyue’s sister, but also the idea of pulling tan san’s hand.

After all, she knew that with the situation of the Water Cloud Pavilion at that time, if she were to acquire the Spirit Grass, the price would definitely be the highest within the entire Feng Ming Dock Market.

Only now, it seemed that she owed tan san a favor instead.

After all, this quality of Spirit Sinking Grass was not a problem to sell, and the price would never be low.

“Of course.

It’s not like I know how to make pills.”

tan san smiled back.

“Good, then according to what I said before, I will purchase all of them for fifty broken spirits a plant for a lower grade spirit stone.

There are a total of two thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight pillars here, that’s four thousand four hundred and sixty-seven lower grade spirit stones.

I’ll make up a whole number for you, four thousand five hundred lower grade spirit stones, how about it?”

Shen Xinyue was also very dry and said.

“Of course there is no problem.”

tan san waved his hands repeatedly, and his heart burst with satisfaction.

Such a price, but it was far beyond his expectations, and it was really not in vain of his hard work of planting it day and night in the past few months.

“This is four thousand five hundred lower grade spirit stones, you count it.

Then this batch of Hui Ling Grass, I’ll put it away.”

Shen Xinyue reached out with a wave of her hand, and instantly, above the living room, there was a large pile of crystalline spirit stones neatly placed.

There were a full four thousand five hundred pieces, stacked in order, a small stack of one hundred inferior spirit stones, adding up to forty-five stacks.

Immediately after, she is also not polite, directly walked to the basket of baskets, once again confirm the number and quality of the spirit grass, before these baskets in turn, all into their own storage bag.

As a true disciple of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, the storage bag she carried with her was naturally not ordinary.

Nearly thirty baskets, all of them were put into her storage bag, and there wasn’t a situation where there wasn’t enough space.

On the other hand, tan san looked at the small mountain of stacked spirit stones in front of him, and his heart was also in shock, far more so than when he saw the several boxes of gold, silver and jewels before, which made his breath catch in his throat.

Before he crossed the rebirth, his biggest dream is actually to be a woman who looks like a flower and has a dusty temperament, smashing open his thighs with money, after waking up in the world of Immortal Cultivation, he thought that this dream, has been unable to realize, and did not think that this time, when it was really smashed by a person with a spirit stone ……

Although, it was obtained by his own labor.

But this kind of shock did make him memorize it.

“Senior’s atmosphere!”

tan san hurriedly arched his hand.

Then he also stacked these spirit stones one by one, all of them into his own storage bag.

“Four thousand five hundred lower grade spirit stones, plus the thousand or so left over from my previous …… is five thousand five hundred lower grade spirit stones.

Myself this time, it’s really hairy.”

tan san didn’t move on the surface, but in his heart, he was actually very excited, and was already thinking freely about how he should go about spending next.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist Zhou.

You’ve really gotten rich this time, can’t you treat me to a good meal?”

Qian Xiaoyue, who was at the side, saw the excitement in tan san’s eyes and couldn’t help but laugh and joked.

“Of course, the Immortal House will be set up.” tan san said with an atmospheric face.

Immortal House, is Feng Ming Dock Square City, the most upscale restaurant, it is said that a table surface, casually is a hundred pieces of inferior spirit stone, the signature of the Immortal Drunk, is the best wine, not only the taste is very good, but also has the role of protecting the heart to nourish the veins, growth in cultivation, very much loved by the cultivators.

Although tan san has never eaten, but heard people talk about a lot, now in possession of a huge sum of money, naturally can not help but be bold for a while.

Of course, the main thing is also to make up for the previous guilt.

The last time Qian Xiaoyue had come, he had not entertained him properly at all due to his ‘shyness’, but now it was considered a compensation.

“Forget about Immortal House, just any small restaurant will do.”

Qian Xiaoyue sniffed, but was a little embarrassed, waving her hand repeatedly and said.

“I’ll arrange it, if it’s just an ordinary restaurant, how can I entertain Senior Shen?”

tan san on the other hand made a direct decision, fearing that she would continue to refuse, and pulled on Shen Xinyue who was showing a satisfied smile.

Sure enough, hearing that tan san had also invited ‘sister’, she instantly stopped talking.

Half an hour later.

In a small cubicle in the Immortal Building.

Dharma incense surrounded, tables and chairs were complete, and in the cubicle, a small soundproof array was even specially arranged, so talking about topics here would generally not be overheard.

“Please!”

tan san specifically ordered a pot of Immortal Drunk, eighty-eight lower grade spirit stones, had to say it was really expensive.

But he also did not show any flesh pain, and directly poured wine for Shen Xinyue and Qian Xiaoyue.

In the end, naturally a cup for himself was missing before saying, “I didn’t think that senior Shen was really willing to come over, Mister Zhou is really a bit flattered.”

He just now, really just mentioned it in passing, and didn’t think that the other party would agree.

Regret was not so much, but in his heart, he was actually a bit puzzled.

“This is nothing.

I am indeed very impressed by Fellow Daoist Zhou’s spiritual plant means.

I also hope that in the future, if there are any more spirit materials, please also consider our Water Cloud Pavilion in the first instance.

Naturally, I will also give a satisfactory price with Fellow Daoist Zhou.”

Shen Xinyue said with a smile.

“Based on my friendship with Xiao Yue, as long as I grow the spirit plants, I will naturally prefer your Water Cloud Pavilion.”

tan san also made a guarantee and said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinyue nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Qian Xiaoyue, seeing that the other party was smiling foolishly and sweetly, knowing that this foolish sister of hers had long since sunk in, with a sigh in her heart, she still decided to help her out, before saying, “I hope so too.

In addition, what I said before about taking the Spirit Plant Master status, you can indeed consider it.

This is the Water Cloud Order, which is our Water Cloud Sect’s recommendation token.

If you can have the status of a first-grade middle-rank Spiritual Planter, you can use this token to participate in our Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s entrance examination nine months later.

I believe that the chances of passing are extremely high.”

First grade middle rank was already the limit, any lower? The Water Cloud Immortal Sect wasn’t a charity, so it wouldn’t casually include them.

“This ……”

tan san was stunned, not expecting the other party to send out this Water Cloud Token.

To know, this kind of token, a piece of it is almost equivalent to recommending a cultivator to enter the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, after all, the same sect disciples, see the token as a person, each other will leave a few feelings, unless there is a deep grudge, generally will not refuse the same disciple’s recommended quota, and will allow it to enter the sect without any problems.

Such as the piece Qian Xiaoyue obtained before, although Qian Xiaoyue showed little confidence at that time, tan san had long known that the other party had passed the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s examination, and that the matter of becoming a disciple of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect was almost a nail in the coffin, and was nine out of ten.

And the same was true for his piece.

It was just that perhaps it was because the other party had taken into account his spiritual root qualifications, which was why there was an additional requirement of a first grade middle rank Spiritual Planter status.

“Quickly take it.”

Seeing tan san’s hesitation, Qian Xiaoyue on the side was anxious and hurriedly shouted lowly, and finally simply helped tan san to receive this Water Cloud Order and quickly handed it to him, saying, “Why don’t you thank Sister Shen.”

“Many thanks to senior Shen.”

Seeing this, tan san could only take it and explained, “I was just a little surprised.”

As for whether or not to go to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect at that time, he naturally needed to think about it as well.

This was not a decision to be made in a hurry, with this Water Cloud Order, it could be considered as one more back way.

While talking, various dishes were served one by one.

Various kinds of spirit beast blood meat, after the Immortal Building within the spirit chef carefully cooking, not only the flavor is extremely delicious, more intact preservation of spirit beast blood meat within the spirit qi, really let him eat comfortably.

Then from time to time, he would drink a sip of Immortal Drunk.

That kind of feeling, it really drifted to immortality.

After the meal.

tan san fixed his mind and couldn’t help but look at Shen Xinyue and said, “Senior Shen, I heard that the workshop market is about to be in a big mess a few months from now, can Senior Shen point out a few things, so that I can have a plan to deal with it.”

“A few months from now, the White Family and the Chen Family within the Feng Ming Dock’s workshop market will have a battle.

I, Water Cloud Pavilion, do not have many Water Cloud Immortal Sect disciples remaining in this place, and as a precautionary measure, we do intend to withdraw and exit the center of this chaos for the time being.

This matter, should be Xiao Yue told you.

She did even plead with me, saying that she wanted to bring one or two friends to follow along and leave Fengmingwu Square Market, and one of them, should be you, right?”

Saying this, Shen Xinyue looked at Qian Xiaoyue without any good humor, seeing the other party shyly lowering her head, she didn’t say anything more and said, “This matter I promise.

If you are interested, at that time, I will have Xiao Yue inform you and leave the workshop together.”

“Then, thank you senior for your kindness.”

tan san’s mind was relieved, and he hurriedly arched his hand again, followed by a slight hesitation before he added, “Then I wonder, what advice does senior have for me, a Five Element Spiritual Root Cultivator.”

Shen Xinyue was a Water Cloud Immortal Sect true disciple, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivation disciple, with extensive knowledge, and his own cultivation was also high, being a Qi Practicing Eighth Layer Cultivator, and was definitely the highest cultivation cultivator he had ever known, and had come into contact with.

That’s why he was bold enough to ask the other party for some advice on cultivation.

Even though, because he had an attribute panel, he was quite swift in terms of cultivation.

But after all, he was only a casual cultivator, and many times when he encountered problems and doubts, he could only think and solve them himself.

Now that there was such a True Scholar of the Sect with an extraordinary origin and high cultivation level here, he naturally couldn’t help but ask for some advice.

“Five element spiritual root? Such a qualification is indeed poor.”

Shen Xinyue glanced at tan san at his words and couldn’t help but whisper before saying, “However, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, although qualifications are important, they are not the most important.

Even for five element spiritual root cultivators, there is no shortage of people who have successfully built their foundations, adding up to two hundred and forty years to their lifespan and becoming a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.”

“I know that.

It’s just that, comparing my cultivation speed, even with the addition of swallowing spirit pills daily for cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for me to raise my cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of qi cultivation before the age of sixty.

Since senior said that there are five elemental spirit root cultivators who have successfully built their foundations, how did they do it?”

tan san couldn’t help but ask.

This was also his biggest doubt after his cultivation had risen to the fourth level of Qi Practicing.

Even with his Five Elements Skill at the Perfection Level, the amount of Spiritual Energy that had been raised after daily cultivation was still very scarce.

Now, almost ten days had passed, and his cultivation had not even increased by ‘one’ point.

At this rate, how long will it be before he can make another breakthrough?

“I don’t know, do you know the difference between merit techniques?”

Shen Xinyue suddenly asked.

“Differences? What difference?”

tan san shook his head.

Qian Xiaoyue on the side also showed a hint of confusion in her eyes.

“Actually, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are two types of cultivation techniques.

One, called the Practice Technique, and one called the Fighting Technique.

What is the practicing method? It is the gong method that only cultivates and only increases one’s cultivation level of practicing qi.

The spiritual energy cultivated using this technique was often more thick and neutral, and the speed of cultivation was also much faster.

The better the qualification, the better the effect of cultivation, the Immortal Cultivation World those legendary years, at most ten years to break through to the ninth level of qi cultivation ‘genius cultivator’, most of the cultivation of this gong method.

This kind of gong method, however, had a drawback.

That was that it was almost devoid of combat power.

Even cultivators at the first level of Qi Practicing could pose a threat to them.

The spiritual energy they cultivated could only serve to increase their own cultivation.

Generally, cultivators who practiced practicing spells wouldn’t purposely spend time cultivating spells and sacrificing spell weapons.

They wouldn’t participate in any battles at all, and their only intention was to raise their cultivation level, to reach the peak of the ninth level of qi cultivation as soon as possible, and then successfully build the foundation.

It was a technique that only the super geniuses of the major clans and forces would choose to cultivate.

Therefore, it was also generally known as the ‘Heaven’s Pride Method’.

The fighting method, on the other hand, tends to have a variety of attributes, the spirit power is more lethal, and needs to be balanced with practicing spells and sacrificing magic weapons to be able to maintain their own safety.

It was also the technique that most cultivators chose to cultivate.

Of course, the corresponding cultivation speed is much slower.”

“Practice method? Fighting method?

So, what we are practicing now, are all fighting techniques?”

tan san easily understood the meaning.

The so-called practicing method was the kind of technique that only pursued the speed of cultivation, and it was also a quick-fix method.

As for the fighting method, in addition to cultivation, it also had to take into account combat power, and of course, it required more time and energy.

It was difficult to raise one’s cultivation level in a short period of time.

“Sister, didn’t you just say that those who cultivate the practicing method are often the super geniuses of the major sects?

But if they cultivate practicing methods and they have no combat power, won’t they die young easily?

Wouldn’t it be a pity if the geniuses died?

Moreover, the great sects, have always honored strength, and those who cultivate practicing methods have no combat power, so how useful can they be?”

Qian Xiaoyue also realized the problem, and hurriedly asked in a puzzled manner.

“Do you think that those true geniuses would care about the stage of Qi Practicing?

Practicing Qi is just excessive.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there has also always been the saying that Foundation Establishment is the beginning of Immortal Cultivation.

After they built their foundations, they would naturally choose to change their gong methods.

The true secret techniques of the major sects can naturally increase their combat power and strength extremely quickly.”

Shen Xinyue smiled coldly as she said.
