Mythological origin

Chapter 27
"You can only find a bit of decency if you go further afield."

"I never imagined that after all my painstaking efforts to become an immortal teacher, my life would still be miserable haha."

The two strong men who passed by Bai Mo complained about their lives.

Dali and Aqiang used to be coolies in Yong'an Town. They came to the town from the same village and took care of each other.

Carrying bags and carrying goods and working hard is their daily work, and they can barely stutter, and they work every day.

Because once had the honor to carry luggage for the immortal master passing through this town, they have seen the style and pomp of such a master, and they will never forget it in their lives.

Since then, the two have had one more dream, dreaming that one day they can also become immortal masters, and if they are famous in front of everyone, they will have no regrets in this life.

It's a pity that even the princes and nobles would have no way to seek immortality if they didn't have the one-in-a-million spiritual roots, let alone the two ordinary coolies who couldn't be more ordinary.

Only in the dream can one be a cameo as an immortal master.

They also sometimes think that if they have never seen the fairy teacher and never known everything about it, maybe they would not have so many unrealistic daydreams.

The more you know, the more powerless you feel.

Like other coolies, they receive a reward after finishing their work. After receiving the reward, they drink two bowls of turbid shochu and a plate of salted beans. After drinking, they lie down overnight half drunk and half awake. One day I was sick and tired and had no energy, so I died at a corner of the road.

Drinking alcohol, carrying bags, sleeping drunk, and waking up to work are the whole life of many hardworking people.

……

If it wasn't for the incident that happened eight months ago, their dream would probably be just a dream until their death.

Eight months ago, the No. 20 outsourced team of Yin Yang Sect came to Yong'an Town and announced that they would teach the Immortal Technique to the outside world, with a tuition fee of 50 taels per person.

Not many people believed it at first. After all, how precious is the immortal law, how can it be compared with a mere 50 taels of silver, and it must be some kind of swindler.

But the two of them, who were dreaming of the fairy teacher's dream every day, believed it obsessively.

They dug out the money they planned to use to beg for their daughter-in-law from the earth urn under the bed, and handed it to a lecturer who seemed to be about the same age as the two of them, and might actually be younger.

The two coolies were illiterate, and they were literacy in the early stage of the training class, learning to read day and night.

If it weren't for the bread, food and shelter, they would really have no money and no work to learn.

After three months of study, both Dali and Aqiang felt the untraceable ray of magic power in their bodies, and successfully stepped into the first level of Qi refining.

What they never expected was that after they finished their studies, the instructor not only refunded the full tuition fee of 50 taels, but also gave them two spirit stones each.

Then he would be grateful and grateful, and the two coolies who did not salute the teacher as a living Bodhisattva were hurriedly sent away from the training class.

They didn't know until later that the Yin Yang sect would give five spirit stones as a reward to everyone who learned the Yin Yang and Five Elements Jue.

The mentors of the two actually took three of them, leaving only two for them.

……

"The mana of the first level of Qi Refining is enough to activate five low-level spells, or use three elementary fireballs." Daniel couldn't help complaining.

"Even a few military masters with weapons may not be able to deal with it."

"The magic talisman is extremely expensive. The lowest-level fireball talisman costs five spirit stones..."

Today, in this small town with less than [-] people, there are hundreds of "friars" like them. The mysterious veil from "immortal masters" has been completely torn off, and they have been thrown to the ground and trampled by thousands of people.

The status of ordinary immortal masters in the town can only be compared with that of guards, and even because of the serious oversupply, the treatment is not as good as that of guards before.

In a small town of a few thousand people, how can there be so many resources to support more than 100 immortal masters who are not productive.

It's not that the Qi Refining Cultivator has no evil intentions. After gaining the power of magic, he came up with the idea of ​​a rich man in the town and played a guest role as a gangster.

It's just that they are really badass and have not received any combat training. Although they have brought some losses to the rich, they can't please themselves.

Of course, this is only a temporary defeat. As long as there are more and more "immortal masters" who have no work to do, there will soon be a bigger gang to go to Xingzhe to kill people and set fire to the golden belt.

Ten people with malicious intentions at the first level of qi refining can't make it down, what about one hundred, two hundred?
Three fireballs per person, that's three hundred fireballs...

Seeing this, some landlords and wealthy households with a keen sense of smell have already begun plotting to leave.

The number of poor monks outside can keep increasing, but they can't increase their servants without limit, and they can't afford to support so many people. If they stay here, they will be unable to stop these guys sooner or later.

……

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I must go farther and faster than the lecturers."

"Yes, wherever the lecturers go, they will teach a large number of low-level monks like us, and then the status of immortal teacher will be worthless immediately."

"How about...we also join the lecturer group? As long as you teach one, you can get a few spirit stones..."

After experiencing the speed of cultivation with spirit stones, they felt that without spirit stones, the cultivation of their pseudo-spiritual roots would be as slow as a tortoise, so all their thoughts at this time were left with only one thing—to engage in spiritual cultivation. stone.

"But I heard that this lecturer group still needs to be assessed... at least the second floor of Qi Refining is allowed to enter."

"...Could it be that we wasted ten years of our lives, and after leaving this training class, we still have nowhere to live?"

After seeing the wonderful world belonging to the monks in the Yin Yang Sect training class, the two of them could no longer feel at ease, and lived their lives numbly and mechanically as ordinary coolies in the small town.

"Let's go to Duanping Town, eight hundred miles away, where one of my uncles does business."

"But will there still be Yin Yang sect..."

"It shouldn't be so fast."

They had inquired before that this small town with a radius of three hundred miles had been completely infiltrated by the Yin-Yang training class, and the first-level Qi Refining monks who had become quick were crawling all over the place.

"Graduation means unemployment."

Without much education, Dali, who has never read many books except Yin-Yang and Five Elements Jue, suddenly recited the words from some storyteller two days ago. .

It's not that they really can't find work to do, it's just that there is no work that can satisfy their hearts and minds.

I thought that after the training class, if I can become a fairy teacher, I will be a master immediately, and I will completely get rid of the poor life.

Not to mention the high officials and dignitaries in the city, at least the small rich men from ten villages and eight miles away will definitely be fooled by a few spells on the first level of Qi Refining, and then treat themselves as guests of honor.

As a result, even a decent job now has a lot of "immortal masters" fighting over their heads.
