Chapter 58: Ancient Methods of Immortality
Chapter 58: Ancient Methods of Immortality
For Liu Sheng, the most painful thing was that he had just survived a strange disaster and had to be on duty the next day.
So it was rare for Su Yanjun to see her endlessly curled-up colleague actually dozing off behind the counter, and even when awake he was yawning all the time.
As far as she knew, Liu Sheng had never left the house since he came to Qinghe Weaving Institute. He went back and forth between the Wanshi Hall, the dormitory and the canteen every day.
That could only mean that Liu Sheng was secretly practicing hard at night again.
Thinking of this, Su Yanjun couldn't help but feel a little pity for him. He obviously couldn't become a god, but he was still trying so hard. What a fool.
Liu Sheng didn't know what Su Yanjun was thinking about. He could only see that she was looking at him with a disgusting look, and she even took the initiative to give Liu Sheng a piece of osmanthus chestnut pastry that she was never willing to share.
However, Liu Sheng was indeed secretly practicing all night long.
She was so eager to practice that she couldn't bear it even for a moment, just like when she got a brand new array carving knife on her sixth birthday. She couldn't hold back at all, and quietly got up in the middle of the night to carve the most basic humidification array on various furniture in the house.
The next morning, her parents got up and saw the damp tables, chairs and cabinets. They were so angry that they chased her and wanted to spank her.
This time too, after Liu Sheng ate some buns to replenish his energy, he immediately assumed a very familiar training posture and devoted himself to it.
But unfortunately, she couldn't feel any energy the whole night, even though she could clearly feel a lot of spiritual energy around her after she entered meditation.
Is it possible that her physical constitution and comprehension are not good enough?
Liu Sheng was a little discouraged. Could it be that she put in so much effort but still couldn't practice?
But she would not give up so easily. She had studied so many methods of breaking through and was ready to give them all a try.
Fortunately, there was nothing to do in Wanshitang that day, so Liu Sheng hurried out as soon as he got off work.
Su Yanjun, who was still packing up, looked at Liu Sheng's back in shock. It was the first time she saw this colleague being more active than her on duty, and he was even going out. There must be something going on.
……
Although Liu Sheng had never been out of Qinghe, she had memorized the map of Qinghe before coming here.
So she quickly found her target - Lingdan Pavilion.
As soon as I walked in, a warm-hearted woman came up to me and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you? We have just received a new batch of Hua Yan Cream. I see that your skin is pretty good, but it's not well maintained. You can buy a can and try it. It costs three spiritual essences per can, and new customers only need one spiritual essence. I tell you, even the princesses and princesses of Chang'an like to use it..."
One can of spiritual essence?
Doesn't this equal one-third of her monthly salary?
Liu Sheng quickly covered his pocket.
This was not something she could bear.
Liu Sheng was not used to this kind of familiar shopping guide. He didn't want her to sell him other things that he couldn't afford, so he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the woman: "Please pick ten sets of herbs according to the prescription for me, thank you."
The woman was a little unhappy at first because Liu Sheng refused to listen to her recommendation of the Hua Yan Cream, but she was overjoyed when she took the prescription. She had been here for quite some time and was very familiar with the prices. After a rough calculation, she estimated that ten sets should cost five Ling Yuan.
Liu Sheng walked out of Lingdan Pavilion with his wallet half empty.
She had seldom gone out to spend money in Li County before, except to occasionally buy materials for refining equipment, so she had saved up a considerable sum of money.
But now she has to use up her small treasury, and these herbs are really not cheap.
This prescription was also the body-building bath recipe she saw in the library. Although the name of the elixir was somewhat different from the one in her current world, fortunately, the basic enlightenment in the school included identifying herbs, so after carefully comparing the appearance and efficacy, she found the corresponding local herb.
She was going to start trying the ancient method of cultivating immortals, starting with body building, so that her body could be in the best condition for cultivation.
……
Liu Sheng's next stop was Baibaotang. Baibaotang had branches in all the major cities of Tang State, and Liu Sheng had always been yearning for it, wanting to see the dazzling array of spiritual tools and various rare materials.
As soon as she entered Baibaotang, Liu Sheng immediately felt that this was simply her destiny shop.
The store was brightly lit, with several large spirit beads hanging from the ceiling, emitting a soft and bright light. The space was orderly distributed, with rows of display racks filled with various spiritual tools, some radiantly shining, some full of spiritual light, and each one attracted her attention.
For example, the latest generation of Lingxun not only has a much longer communication distance, but it is said that you can also play fantasy mirage games on it, such as "Extreme Sword Flying" and "Miracle Fairy", which are very popular.
There were many children crowding in front of the booth, trying out the products. After trying them, they asked their parents to buy them, but their parents quickly pulled the children away when they saw the price.
There is also a spiritual device called "Spiritual Kitchen God", a small and portable box, but inside is an independent small kitchen with a stove and various kitchen utensils. It is very suitable for practitioners who like cooking and travel frequently.
Liu Sheng couldn't imagine what a cheerful uncle Liu Ruhai would be if he received this spiritual weapon.
Unfortunately, she is short of money.
At the back is the materials area, where various rare refining materials are neatly arranged by category. From common refining materials to rare treasures from heaven and earth, there is everything, which makes Liu Sheng salivate.
After turning around twice and failing to find the spirit formation drawing instrument that she wanted to "learn", Liu Sheng had no choice but to take the initiative to ask the manager.
"Spiritual Array Drawing Instrument?" A manager in the Spirit Weapon Area thought for a moment, picked up a piece of white jade and tapped it a few times to confirm. "We don't have it in our store. The nearest one is in Shouyang. If you are sure you need it, I can order it for you from Shouyang."
"How much is it?" Liu Sheng asked carefully.
"One thousand three hundred and eighty-eight spiritual essences." The steward calmly said a terrible price.
Seeing Liu Sheng's eyes widened in shock, he smiled and said, "Because these are usually large spiritual tools that large-scale tool refining workshops need. Although they can carve magic arrays by themselves, they are quite time-consuming and take up space. Ordinary cultivators will not buy them."
Liu Sheng finally gave up and took out a list of refining materials and handed it to the manager.
I originally wanted to disassemble it and study it, but now it seems that I should just rub it myself.
The manager took the list and went away to help Liu Sheng pick up the goods, leaving Liu Sheng to sit in a small private room on the first floor and drink tea while waiting.
Liu Sheng was waiting bored, when suddenly he saw through the beaded curtain a beautiful woman walking in from the doorway. She looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a long silk skirt that swayed in the wind. The skirt was embroidered with intricate flower and bird patterns, making her look both noble and elegant.
As soon as she stepped into the store, all eyes were involuntarily attracted to her.
Another manager in the store seemed to recognize the lady in the fancy dress, and immediately smiled and approached her politely, asking, "Ms. Wen, you are so lucky to have the time to visit Baibaotang today. It really brings honor to our humble abode."
"We have the finest tea in our store. Miss, please go to the elegant seats on the second floor and take your time to shop. If you have any needs, just let me know." As he spoke, he extended his hand.
This Miss Wen is obviously either rich or noble, which is why she is treated like this.
She just nodded indifferently, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows.
When she followed the steward past Liu Sheng's box, Liu Sheng smelled a faint fragrance that made her heart flutter.
But the little tentacle quietly poked out and took a deep breath with the same rippling feeling.
Seeing this, Liu Sheng knew without the need for the little tentacles to explain that this woman had a strong weird aura.
Thank you all for your rewards, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and comments!
