Chapter 9 Weird Leather, Heading to Aoki Sect
Chapter 9 Weird Leather, Heading to Aoki Sect
Yan Yuan was blinded by greed and deserved this disaster. It was a pity for fellow Taoist Yan Wenbo that such a "talent" finally appeared in his family, but died just like that.
Why bother with an old man like me who is about to be buried?
Wei Zhong shook his head and stopped thinking about it. From now on, the identity of Wei Zhong would be offline.
However, in order to improve my cultivation, I still need to find a sacred place to continue practicing.
Wei Zhong's expression changed, and the casual cultivator Chu He suddenly appeared at the same place.
This time, I'll find a big tree to lean on.
Wei Zhong turned and headed for Ruyue Market.
······
"Brother Luo, it's been a long time!"
In a pavilion in the market town, Chu He bowed to a young man.
"It turns out to be Brother Chu, please come in quickly. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and you are only one step away from Foundation Establishment."
The two of them sat down at the tea table.
"No, no, building a foundation is so difficult. I am a casual cultivator without any chance, how can I succeed in building a foundation?"
Luo Mingyan was also feeling sad. He had been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for more than ten years, and still had no confidence in successfully building a foundation. That was why he accumulated capital in Ruyue Market, trying to obtain a foundation-building pill.
What he said to Chu He was just polite words. The success rate of a casual cultivator in building a foundation is much lower than that of a cultivator from a sect.
The Chu He in front of him only has the talent of five spiritual roots. The grade of his spiritual roots is not known yet, but it is estimated that his condition will not be much better if he does not join the sect.
The reason I made friends with him in the first place was simply because of his excellent fighting skills.
"To be honest with you, Brother Luo, I don't have much time left."
Luo Mingyan was startled, and looking at the heavy aura that Wei Zhong was emitting, he said:
"How could this be?"
"Alas, if you walk along the seashore often, you will get your feet wet. A few years ago, I was robbed and encountered some powerful creatures, which damaged my foundation and shortened my lifespan.
Now I am afraid I won’t live for another five years, so I came to find Brother Luo.”
"What does Brother Chu mean?"
"I have been cultivating immortality for so long, but I am only worried about my nephew. I hope Brother Luo can help him get admitted to the Qingmu Sect."
After saying this, Chu He took out a storage bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Luo Mingyan.
Luo Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chu He wanted him to help find something to prolong his life. Such precious items would be very valuable.
He picked up the storage bag and probed into it with his spiritual consciousness. He was immediately delighted. He said with a smile on his face:
"Okay, okay. I wonder what my nephew's qualifications and age are?"
"My nephew's name is Chu Zhong, and he has five spiritual roots, all of which are low-grade spiritual roots."
Luo Mingyan's expression froze...
Wei Zhong's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "I am now over eighty years old, at the fourth level of Qi Refining..."
Seeing that Wei Zhong wanted to continue, Luo Mingyan interrupted:
"Stop, stop, Brother Chu, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that your nephew is... a little ordinary. Even if he is from the outer sect of Qingmu Sect, there is no hope for him."
Wei Zhong pretended to frown, which made Luo Mingyan very embarrassed.
"It is a debt of gratitude to those who have received favors, and it is a debt of gratitude to those who have received favors."
However, he was reluctant to ask Luo Mingyan to return the spirit stones.
After some consideration, he said:
"Why don't you let my nephew go to Qingmu Sect to cultivate spiritual fields for a few years? I have quite a few connections in the outer sect market..."
Chu He's expression was conflicted, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because that's what he was waiting for you to say.
Who wants to join your Qingmu Sect? I have a secret, but I don't want to be exposed by the old monster of the sect.
However, even though the goal has been achieved, one still has to pretend.
"How can my nephew Chu He be a small spiritual farmer?"
As a casual cultivator living on the edge of a knife, what he looked down upon the most were the cultivators who farmed and waited for death in the various immortal cultivation families. Every year, most of their income was taken away by the main family. Not only did they not earn much spirit stones, but their spirit in cultivating the Tao would also be worn away completely.
“Brother Chu, although this kind of farming is despised by others, farming in my Qingmu Sect is a good job. Not only is it safe and worry-free, but you will also have the opportunity to come into contact with more immortal cultivation resources. If you have the chance, it is not impossible to be accepted by a foundation-building cultivator…”
Chu He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then finally sighed.
"Just follow Brother Luo."
Chu He took out a jade pendant and broke it into two halves.
He handed half to Luo Mingyan and kept the other half in his own hands:
"If someone holds this half of the jade pendant and my handwritten letter in a few days, he must be my nephew. I hope Brother Luo..."
Luo Mingyan bowed:
"Brother Chu, rest assured. Since I have received the benefits, I will definitely get the job done."
Chuhe nodded.
"Then I will leave now."
"Brother Chu, take care."
Wei Zhong turned into a beam of light and left Ruyue Market.
Sending himself to the Qingmu Sect to farm was a decision Wei Zhong made after careful consideration. After all, he had to consider the future foundation building. As a Jindan power, it was common for a casual cultivator from the Qingmu Sect to build a foundation.
On the contrary, if one were to build a foundation in a family such as the Yan family or the Chen family, one would probably be met with hostility in an instant, and they might even secretly sabotage him, thus ruining one's own cultivation.
And what Luo Mingyan said was right. As one of the Jindan forces in Mangyuan Prefecture, Qingmu Sect was indeed very safe, and its resources were extremely concentrated and abundant.
It’s a good place to build a foundation.
Although Wei Zhong heard that there was a Hanzhu City in this prefecture which was established by independent cultivators, that place was too far away and too close to Yunjiang Prefecture.
Wei Zhong was worried that the Nascent Soul inheritance would be affected and bring disaster to the fish pond.
In this case, Aoki Sect is the best choice.
As for the spirit stones given to Luo Mingyan, Wei Zhong was only a little sad. After killing the three fellow spirit farmers and Yan Yuan, his wealth increased again. It was worthwhile to give some of them to secure a good future for himself.
There were quite a few spirit stones in the storage bags of the three people, and it was obvious that they were the kind of people who often pretended to be robbers to earn extra money.
Thinking of the three people's methods, the passive defensive magic weapon, the first-level mid-grade defensive robe, and the strange magic weapon that disturbs people's souls.
As expected, even farmers should not be underestimated. They might pull out some treasure to reverse the situation during the fight.
Taking out the strange rattle, Wei Zhong shook it a few times, making drum sounds. The nine-colored magic weapon on his shoulder immediately shook, as if it would fall off in the next second.
Wei Zhong stopped and took off the drum skin of the rattle.
Is it this drum skin that is weird?
The drum skin is white and it is impossible to tell what kind of leather it is. It just glows in the sunlight and does not look like an ordinary material.
It must be a good thing. I can find a master to refine this skin again in the future. Maybe it will add a trump card for me.
In addition, there are many good things in the three people's storage bags, including various spiritual medicines and elixirs that Wei Zhong does not recognize...
Three days later, Wei Zhong recovered to his middle-aged appearance and went to Ruyue Market again.
Looking at the jade pendant and letter handed over by Wei Zhong, Luo Mingyan asked:
"Are you Chu Zhong?"
Wei Zhong nodded.
"Why doesn't Daoist Fellow Chu He come?"
"My uncle didn't have much time left, so he went to look for an opportunity."
When he said this, Wei Zhong looked sad.
Luo Mingyan also deeply felt the same way.
"Well, since your uncle has handed you over to me, I will make arrangements for you.
I have something to do and will be returning to the sect soon, so you and I will set off soon."
"It's all up to Lobo!"
Yesterday, my writer’s assistant sent me a message saying that ten people had read my novel. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night.
