Chapter 107: Immortals and Mortals: Northern Immortals

The Foundation Establishment Pill is an extremely precious elixir for grassroots practitioners.

As the saying goes: There are nine realms and nine heavens. It is easy to descend to the earth but difficult to ascend to heaven.

This foundation-building pill is a medicine that can help people ascend to heaven, how can it not be expensive?
If one relies on a large sect and follows the sect's internal path, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill will be around two to three thousand spirit stones. If one can please the master, he may give it to you at will.

However, this preferential price is for the sect to support its own disciples, and it must be strictly controlled when it is used externally.

The price of a foundation-building pill often skyrocketed to five thousand spirit stones, but there was still no demand.

There was even a family that spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy a Foundation Building Pill when it was in urgent need of it.

Meng Jingyang suddenly paused in humming.

According to rumors, who is this family? It seems to be the Jiang family?

Meng Jingyang couldn't help but shook his head. He only earned three spirit stones a month, and only thirty-six spirit stones a year.
Five thousand spirit stones, it will be quick.

It's only about 140 years without food or drink...

Among those who practice Qigong, those who live long enough can live to be one hundred and forty years old, right?
After thinking about this, the drunkenness that Meng Jingyang had deliberately retained also dissipated.

I stopped humming the song and returned home in a depressed mood.

Jiang Li came forward and bowed, and two newly-wed concubines brought hot water and towels.

"Master, please wipe it off. You still smell of alcohol." Jiang Li advised.

But Meng Jingyang was in no mood now. He responded, wiped his face and hands casually, and went straight to the quiet room.

In the quiet room, You You sighed: "A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. The Jiang family is not the place where I can build my foundation."

"That's right. If one can have the opportunity to establish a foundation in such an ordinary and stable way, then the Ninth Heaven can no longer be called the Ninth Heaven. If one wants to ascend to heaven, one must have aspects that others cannot reach."

"Junior Brother Ye is now valued by the Jiang family and has the Spiritual Food Technique to run, so what about me?"

Meng Jingyang's doubts were destined to remain unanswered tonight.

On the other side, Ye Yunqi was in the quiet room, taking out another gain of the day.

This is a jade slip, which records a technique called "Spiritual Cultivation and Dual Cultivation".

Ye Yunqi studied it carefully. This technique was not very difficult and he mastered it quickly.

Its effect is nothing more than guiding oneself to resonate with the way of yin and yang harmony of heaven and earth when practicing dual cultivation and yin and yang harmony.

The effect is achieved, but this effect is mostly used to help pregnancy and fetal growth, and the remaining very small part will be fed back to the body to make up for the loss of its own essence.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to rely on him to practice. It is just a way for the Xiuxian family to continue its own.

Ye Yunqi slowly finished his practice and murmured in a low voice: "The postures recorded in this practice are quite interesting. I will try them out when my new concubine enters the sect."

Seeing that it was already bright, she got up and went to the backyard, where the concubines had already gotten out of bed.

Jiang Chuyao and Jiang Chulin, two sisters who were not obviously pregnant, were busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Su Muyao, Lu Yuaner and Lin Wanwan were teasing the children.

Tian Yan and Li Yun were in the vegetable garden in the yard, observing the survival of the vegetables transplanted yesterday.

As soon as Ye Yunqi entered the room, he called out, "My beloved concubines, how about we go to the market at the foot of the mountain today?" The concubines played around for a while, and finally Su Muyao touched her big belly and sighed, "Master, now that we are pregnant, it is not convenient for us to move around, so let's take Chuyao and Chulin with us."

Thinking that Chu Yao and Chu Lin had been brought into the room but had not developed much of a relationship, Ye Yunqi felt that it was the right time.

After breakfast, he took Chu Yao and Chu Lin to the market.

The market is not far away, and it is easy to get there for a Qigong practitioner.

But considering that Chu Yao and Chu Lin were just mortals and were also pregnant, Ye Yunqi hired a carriage from the carriage workshop run by the Jiang family.

This carriage is operated by the Jiang family themselves. It provides convenience for the Jiang family to travel, and the price is not expensive, only half a tael of silver.

Ye Yunqi held a spirit stone and said with some embarrassment: "I don't have any silver on me yet, I don't know..."

Before Ye Yunqi finished speaking, the owner of the Jiang family's branch carriage workshop who was receiving Ye Yunqi's words brightened his eyes and said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, guest immortal, we can also exchange spirit stones for silver. One low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 120 taels of silver!"

Ye Yunqi was a little confused. Didn’t Meng Jingyang ask yesterday about exchanging a low-grade spirit stone for a hundred taels of silver at the market?
So I took the opportunity to inquire about it.

The owner of the Jiang Family Car Workshop explained, "What the guest immortal said is very true. This is the price at the market, but this is the Jiang Family's property, so the price we give to the Jiang Family members will naturally be much more affordable."

But there was actually a difference of twenty taels of silver. Ye Yunqi asked in confusion: "Then can you still make money with this exchange method? If I exchange the spirit stones for silver here, and then exchange the silver for spirit stones at the market, wouldn't I be able to make spirit stones all the time?"

The Jiang Family Car Workshop owner sneered and said, "Master Guest, exchanging spirit stones for silver is easy. You can exchange them whenever you want. But if you want to exchange silver for spirit stones, you won't be able to find a place to do so."

Ye Yun understood that the difference between spirit stones and silver was not so much the difference between currencies as it was the difference between immortals and mortals.

Spiritual stones represent the output of cultivators, such as spiritual valleys and spiritual teas used for cultivation, or by hiring cultivators to do things for them.

Silver is just an ordinary currency. It can only be used to buy ordinary rice and vegetables. It is enough to fill your stomach, but it is impossible to rely on it for spiritual practice.

You can only hire mortals to do things for you.

Using spirit stones to exchange for silver is not an exchange, but rather using the output of one's own cultivation to exchange for the output of ordinary mortals.

Naturally, someone would come to exchange it if it was downgraded like this, but the reverse would be extremely difficult.

Exchanging spirit stones for silver is nothing more than using them to purchase the output of those side branches of the Jiang family who are unable to practice cultivation in the mortal world.

He exchanged it for silver and took out half an ounce to pay for the car.

The three of them took a carriage to the market.

"Master Guest Immortal, we're here. In front of us is the gathering of immortals and mortals. Before today, I will be waiting for you at the Jiang family carriage workshop." The coachman pointed to a carriage workshop on the north side of the market with a flag with the word "Jiang" on it.

Ye Yunqi nodded. This half tael of silver covered the round trip and also included a day's waiting time. It was really worth it.

But on second thought, ten taels of silver can buy a person, and this 1/20 of my life should also have such service.
After getting off the carriage and stepping onto the bluestone paved street, Ye Yunqi was a little surprised.

The street in front of him was wide and clean. On both sides of the bluestone street were rows of exquisite ancient-style pavilions and shops. For a moment, Ye Yunqi thought he was shopping at some ancient scenic spot in the future.

The market was huge, the streets were wide, and there were a few monks here and there shopping.

"Is this the Beixian Collection?" Jiang Chuyao murmured, "It's really beautiful."

"Huh? Isn't this a collection of immortals and mortals?" Ye Yunqi asked puzzledly.

　You can pay attention to your friend’s new sprouts.
