Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 147 Cows and Horses

Hu Shun perked up after hearing this.

"Junior sister, what did you find out?"

Shui Miaomiao smiled proudly and said that she had recognized a young talent among the inner sect disciples and had just gone to chat with him. The inner sect disciples were given five spiritual stones in a month and did not need to be distracted by patrolling outside the sect and trivial matters within the sect. .

Even if you do it, the reward for the same task is fully double that of the outer disciples, which is enough to support their cultivation.

Everyone immediately became jealous upon hearing this.

The inner disciples are only in the middle stage of Qi training. They only need 3 spirit stones for a month of practice. The extra 2 spirit stones are obviously for them to improve their strength.

This is all blood drawn from the outer disciples!

At this moment, everyone knew how good the inner disciples were, and everyone swore in their hearts that they would come out on top ten years later and grab the spot for the inner disciples.

However, Lu Ye was wondering whether the sect deliberately set extremely harsh standards on how to earn Taoism, then plundered everyone, and then used the outer disciples as cattle and horses.

A real flesh and blood factory.

In the future, who will not be allowed to risk their lives to practice and earn Dao Gong?

During the day, he worked diligently inside and outside the sect to complete tasks, and at night he sat cross-legged and meditated, even saving sleep.

This is not 996, this is your liver 24 hours a day!

If you don't have liver, you may die. How cruel.

The capitalists in the previous life were not as ruthless as these people from the Demon Sect, but the immortal cultivators from the Xuanmo Sect were much too miserable.

They are said to be outer disciples, but they are just temporary workers. Only when they become inner disciples can they be considered a true member of the Xuanmo Sect. They are well-established, eat royal food, and can concentrate on their cultivation.

Sure enough, the end of the universe is still exam editing!

He saw that the outer disciples all looked ugly at the moment, and they probably all figured out the key, but no one dared to resist.

After all, the puppet corpse is still standing at the door of Wenxin Building and watching everyone.

Those who want to resist may wish to consider the strength of Deputy Sect Leader Wu Feng.

Everyone had no choice but to open their storage bags one by one and start to figure out how much of their wealth they should exchange for, and how much power would be enough.

With tears in their hearts, they took out their skills, materials, elixirs and even magic weapons, preparing to exchange them for Taoist skills.

The team moved forward slowly one by one. Many disciples went in with bulging storage bags and came out with shriveled storage bags, clutching iron plaques recording Taoist skills in their hands.

Lu Ye knew he couldn't hide, so he took Shu Chitu to a secluded place, took out the things he had already planned to get rid of in the storage bag, and asked him to help him with his eyes.

It's just a pity that the things in his hands came from Xu Guang, Zheng Tiancheng and several Qi Practitioners who were instantly killed by Xu Guang, so there were no precious treasures that needed to be left behind.

After all, Xu Guang and Zheng Tiancheng are only at the middle level of Qi training, and everyone else is at the low level of Qi training.

Lu Ye was cautious and only took out half of the items, leaving the rest for later use when he needed to change his skills. If he took them all out, it would be a test of the kindness of the people around him.

He would not give these fellow disciples a chance.

After being prompted by Shu Chitu, Lu Ye finally took a bag of the monk's "White Bones Impure View", a copy of Taoist Hua Xiang's "Three Yin Lotus Techniques", and several other copies of the exercises carried by the monks who died in Xu Guang's hands. exchange.

I kept Xu Guang's Qiyun Sword Technique, Zheng Tiancheng's Ghost Demonic Body, and Qingyang Lao Tao's Yin Banner Technique, and prepared to exchange them in the future when my Taoist skills were insufficient.

In addition, some of the dead monks also exchanged some fine gold, steel mother and some cheap commercial materials. After all, he did not have the skills to make tools. He would not have time to improve himself in ten years, let alone be distracted from learning, so he kept it for the time being. It's also useless.

Now that I have exchanged it for a small loss, it would be even more of a waste to keep it. It would be more appropriate to redeem it for Taoism.

Half an hour later.

The three Luye brothers came out of Wenxin Tower, holding iron plates tightly in their hands.

Returning to the cave, the three of them closed the cave door and then talked in low voices.

"Just such a gadget..." Wang Hu muttered in a low voice, "can it save our lives?"

Zhang Cunyi coughed.

"Second brother, be careful. Each of the three of us brothers' tokens has a hundred great merits. Isn't it worth one life?"

Lu Ye smiled.

"Okay, I've seen it. There are many outer disciples, as few as fifty or sixty, and as many as nearly two hundred. Our one hundred great merits are not conspicuous among them, which is just right."

"But I see that many people have calm faces. Maybe they are like me and haven't changed all the things."

"In short," Lu Ye's face became serious, "among the outer disciples, the three of us are the worst in cultivation. The others have at least the first level of Qi training as a foundation!"

"In the past ten years, we have been careful in our words and deeds. Even if the master is a devil, don't offend him easily. We must reach the first level of Qi training within the ten years!"

"I still want to go home and see your sister-in-law..."

Zhang Cunyi's eyes were firm.

"Brother, me too, I don't know how my son Zhang Biao is doing now..."

Wang Hu sighed.

"Yeah, I miss Sister Hong too..."

Lu Ye and Zhang Cunyi stared at him with strange eyes.

Wang Hu was speechless for a long time and could only change the topic, looked down at the token in his hand and smiled.

"Haha, these one hundred great merits are enough for us to use for three to five years, right?"

-

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold comes and summer comes.

The sun and the moon rise and fall, and a year has passed.

The golden sun rises in the early morning, but it cannot shine through the mist that hangs over Heikoku Mountain all year round.

The weather is always gloomy in the mountains.

The eagle fell to the top of the cliff, and some servants rang the big bell.

As the bells echoed up and down the mountain peaks, people's voices and fireworks gradually began to sound.

Lu Ye also woke up from his trance. A hazy light was projected from the crystal skylight on the top of the cave, shrouding him. Even during the day, the Eagle Climbing Cliff did not see sunlight all year round, and the weather was always gloomy.

He first picked up the token hanging on his waist. Although he had seen it last night, looking at the balance of Taoist power inside again, he still found it unbelievable.

"Two great merits and eight small merits..."

"How could I be so poor..."

"One hundred great achievements. Did you agree to last for three to five years?"

Lu Ye's face was unhappy.

"Haw..."

A ray of golden light let out a soft scream, fluttered out from his head, circled the cave a few times, and felt comfortable lying on his cross-legged robe, turning over.

It was the ugly insect that swallowed up Xu Guang's soul in his sea of ​​​​consciousness. Since it first woke up after sleeping for more than a month, it emerged from Luye's sea of ​​​​consciousness and came to the world.

Not only can you run out, but you can also go back if you want. Entering and exiting the river in the Fish and Dragon Picture is as convenient as your own home.

Lu Ye checked all the information he could get, and he had never seen a monster spirit pet like this. He could only lament that there were all kinds of wonders in the world, but his knowledge was still too shallow.

Now a year has passed.

The ugly bug changed from green to a golden bug. It was still so ugly. It could be said that it was a golden ugly bug. Its body shape was about the size of a sausage, and it never changed again.

However, the golden color has become condensed and dazzling, shining like a metal.

And when he flapped his wings with all his strength, he flew as fast as a meteor. Even if Lu Ye filled his eyes with spiritual consciousness to observe, he could only see a shadow.

Moreover, this ugly insect is an iron-headed child. Lu Ye has tried the fragments of the magic weapon, but the material of the low-level magic weapon can be penetrated with just one pass. It is really sharp.

Its head has evolved to have eyes the size of soybeans, and a mouth as long and sharp as a thorn. The small mouth opened as if it was yawning, and it was sleepy again. Its eyes were blurred and blinked a few times. Finally, it couldn't bear it anymore, so it slowly After closing it, my belly immediately rose and fell regularly, and I suddenly fell asleep again.

Lu Ye saw the golden insect and felt angry in his heart, gritting his teeth.

"It's all because you are so edible..."

"If you don't transform this time, I'll make you into a sausage immediately and fill your stomach!"

The golden bug was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt a wave of malice coming on it. It trembled with fright, fluttered its wings and flew into the air, circling around and hiding in Lu Ye's hair.

Lu Ye's thick hair was trembling like chaff.

Lu Ye ran his hands along his hair a few times, and finally his hair calmed down.

He sighed and said, "If you can't transform, I will really lose a lot. I hope the reminder of the fish and dragon picture is true..."

As soon as my heart moved, a fish and dragon picture jumped out immediately, showing several lines of writing on it.

“Lu Ye—22 years old.

Spiritual root - middle grade B. Status - The foundation has been laid, and you have entered the Taoist sect. You can break through to the first level of Qi training in five years.

Taoism - White Bone Impure View, 1/100.

Taoism - Dharma Protector Diamond Sutra, 1/100.

Mental Dharma - The martial heart is clear.

Spiritual Pet - Alien Golden Cicada, transformation 99/100.

Lifespan: 22 years/80 years.

Qi and blood——6500/10000.

A cicada transforms into a dragon—eight times! "

Lu Ye first saw the writing on the first level of Qi training displayed, and knew that he would be able to complete it in five years, so his expression looked better.

Now one year has passed, and he has completed the step-by-step laying of the foundation stone.

However, this year has not been so easy.

When the Xuanmo Sect was newly established, everything was difficult at the beginning. Every day, there were countless tasks within the sect that were forcibly assigned to the outer disciples and required to be completed.

Even if you have no shortage of Taoist skills in your pocket, you still need to complete a certain amount of tasks, otherwise your Taoist skills will be deducted.

Completing the sect's mission in one day is only a small merit, but if you evade the mission, you will be punished with two small merits.

Who can resist it?

Therefore, all the cows and horses can only tearfully complete the various tasks of the sect. The disciples have to cultivate the spiritual field, fan the alchemy furnace, cut talisman paper, make spiritual pet food, refine various materials with magic power, and even go down the mountain to patrol, all day long. idle.

That is to say, Lu Ye's spiritual consciousness is now strong. After working hard every day, he can still ensure high-quality practice at night. It takes a year to lay the foundation.

The other disciples were already exhausted after completing a day's task, their magic power was exhausted, and their cultivation effects were not that good. Even if they had the blessing of the Ascension Talisman in their bodies, they could only guarantee the normal cultivation speed.

This Xuanmo Sect treats all the outer disciples as cattle and horses, exploiting them, and wants to get back ten points for every benefit they receive. Sure enough, he will not engage in money-losing business.

The situation of the two sworn brothers Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi is relatively good, because they still have ghost energy sealed in their Qi Sea, so even if they have heavy tasks, they can practice much faster than other disciples.

Even so, the two complained endlessly, because compared with other outer disciples, they were all novices in cultivating immortals and could not control the magic power in their bodies as they wished, so many of their jobs were rough.

For example, when planting weeds in a spiritual field, the fairy seedlings were shoveled by accident; when fanning the elixir of fire, the elixir could not be controlled and the elixir was destroyed; when cutting talisman paper, it was uncontrollable and the talisman was burned; when preparing animal food for the spiritual pet, the elixir was destroyed. Made into poisonous food.

The three Luye brothers often worked hard in a day, and their income was equal to the compensation they received, and they also had to pay compensation to the sect.

If it weren't for the support from kind-hearted people like Xu Guang, the three of them would have become paupers long ago.

Lu Ye shook his head, as if to forget the unbearable experiences of the past year.

Now it's good, the foundation has been laid, and it has reached a higher level. The magic power is running more smoothly, and those sect chores have become more familiar with practice. There will no longer be a problem of completing daily tasks at the expense of the sect's Taoism.

I can finally focus most of my energy on my own cultivation.

Now that the foundation has been laid, it only takes five years of hard work to achieve the first level of Qi training - of course, for Lu Ye, who is in trouble, it is impossible for him to spend five years grinding it, so he still has to take a shortcut.

From now on, according to the second-level spiritual roots, there is still a high hope of achieving foundation building. If there is smoke in the ancestral tomb, you can also touch the golden elixir, so this cultivation speed can be considered normal.

However, this is Xuanmo Gate, the rolling door among rolling doors.

It would be fine if he was a casual cultivator in the Jin Kingdom and cultivated slowly.

In this Xuanmo Demon Sect, this is not very safe. The brothers are competing with each other, and they can only use drugs to cultivate the Taoist skills that are not good at all.

So his speed is still too ordinary and not safe at all.

What's more, a practitioner's practice is like sailing against the current, and each level in the great realm is more difficult than the next. Even if he follows the instructions of the fish and dragon diagram step by step, he can achieve the first level of Qi training in five years.

But if the normal speed is maintained, it may not be possible to reach the second level of Qi training in another five years.

If you wait until you are a hundred years old to perfect your qi training, then don't even think about building a foundation.

In this world of cultivation, there has always been a saying that one should not build the foundation after one hundred years of age. If one does not reach the tenth level of Qi training before reaching the age of one hundred, the energy, energy and spirit will decline, and the success rate of foundation building will drop greatly.

Moreover, there is still the life-and-death barrier of the outer disciple competition nine years later.

In addition, even if the disciples are doing tasks inside and outside the sect on weekdays, it is not peaceful and people will die.

Nowadays, disciples are dying one after another while patrolling the mountains outside the sect. Because Eagle Falling Peak is gradually becoming like a regular sect, the resources needed will naturally expand outward.

The first to bear the brunt of the external expansion are the two good neighbors, Wan Gu Lin and the Yinhun Sect. The high-level leaders have not yet fought, but there is already a lot of friction among the patrolling disciples.

The good news is that none of the dead people whom Lu Ye knew - Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Master Xi's brothers and sisters are all fine.

The bad news is that no one Lu Ye knew among the dead - Master Xi's brothers and sisters are all fine.

Therefore, you have to practice hard. It is not safe to break through the first level of Qi training within five years. It is best to break through to the second or third level of Qi training.

Luye has already chosen the specific evil skill, and it is in Wenxin Tower. He is accumulating spiritual stones and Taoist skills and preparing to exchange them.

And the technique he majored in was still the White Bones Impurity Contemplation, which was quite simple, because he was lucky enough to find the skills from the White Bones Impureness Contemplation to perfect foundation building in Wenxin Tower.

This skill itself is a yin-type magic skill. It is just right to practice it in the yin-filled place of Eagle Drop Cliff. Although it is as high as 100 skills, I gritted my teeth and used the ghost demon body, yin flag technique and other skills in the road. After giving it to Wen Xin Lou, I also exchanged it.

Now he only retains Qiyun Sword Technique in his hand for future emergencies.

As for the cheap master Xiao Huanxi, the Flying Witch Gong Luye, who harvests yang and replenishes yin, is naturally not an option.

Lu Ye also dabbled in another physical training method, the Protector Diamond Sutra, but he did not major in it, only as an auxiliary skill. After all, he was a master and was stronger than martial arts. Bare-handed fighting was also his strength, as was physical training. Very much to his liking.

It's just a pity that Xiao Huanxi's Dharma-protecting Golden Steel Sutra can only be practiced until Qi is perfected, and there will be no way to practice after it. Otherwise, if it is regarded as the fundamental Tao method, he will not have to exchange the Flower Dao Technique for the follow-up techniques of White Bone Impurity.

What really caused his financial crisis was the spiritual pet alien golden cicada.

It is said that after the ugly insect emerged from Xu Guang's spiritual body that day, this line of writing popped up in the picture of fish and dragon, showing that it was about to transform.

Luye was overjoyed.

This insect in the sea of ​​consciousness is still useful.

First of all, make sure it is a golden cicada or a different kind of golden cicada. It must be more precious. If the transformation is completed, channeling it will definitely increase your strength greatly.

In the future, when it comes to life and death situations, others think that their strength is 1, but it is actually 1+1. Think about it, will you be surprised? Is it surprising?

He hid this secret trump card, went to Wenxin Tower and spent a great effort to exchange it for a copy of Tang Yijie's Hundred Answers to the Insect Demon, and found the elixir for feeding golden cicadas from it.

Good guy, in addition to eating Gu grain pills like insect demons, it also needs to eat spiritual rice and drink spiritual springs. It's actually no worse than human monks.

If you want to speed up your transformation, you even have to eat better.

What's the Huanqi Pill, the Peiyuan Pill is a common occurrence, and even the first-level spiritual stone has to be eaten every once in a while.

If it were not for the support of kind-hearted people such as Xu Guang, and if he could ensure that he had sufficient cultivation resources, Lu Ye would have stopped supporting the golden cicada long ago.

In order to cover up people's eyes and ears, Lu Ye exchanged some small merits from Wenxinlou for a poisonous cicada.

It's just that his ability to tame animals is not good, and he really doesn't have enough Taoist skills to feed three mouths, so he has forced the poisonous cicada to become malnourished. As long as he doesn't die from starvation, it is still kept in the cave.

The poisonous cicada has been suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes by following his master. He can only be forced to sleep all the time to conserve his strength. Now he is out of shape and has no fighting power.

Lu Ye tried it, and the poisonous cicada sprayed out poisonous gas, which could not kill even ordinary flowers and plants. It was extremely weak and scum.

Therefore, he felt more at ease and reduced the poisonous cicada's rations.

After all, the Xuanmo Sect is so complicated that the master can't even get good food, and you are so weak, so you can only live by tightening your stomach.

Lu Ye comforted himself, this poisonous cicada was so weak, it was better to just sleep well and save food rations. Taking it out to fight with others would be a waste of life. When he has gained Taoism in the future, it would not be too late to feed him well.

Not to mention the poor poisonous cicada, the progress bar of the golden cicada that Lu Ye valued was also very strange.

The progress bar was very fast at first, but it didn't show the remaining time like Lu Ye Xiu's method.

When Lu Ye invested a lot of resources, the progress slowed down.

Lu Ye was trapped like a real estate speculator and became a landlord. Every day, he hoped that maybe he could transform by spending some more resources.

After a year of feeding, Lu Ye felt that when he looked at the progress bar every day, he almost looked like a watchman's stone.

Fortunately, there is only the last bit left, and the pain will soon be over!

Now the first task is to accumulate some more Taoist power, plus the Taoist power that Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi collected for themselves, and quickly redeem the evil power that the two have been coveting for a long time!

Just like the Way of Hell, it has the same purpose and uses shortcuts to quickly increase your strength.

At this moment, there was a sound from the token on Lu Ye's waist.

"Fourth Senior Brother, I'm already waiting outside the door of your cave."

"Today's patrol is far away, and the disciples who died a few days ago may not be safe. Let's go early and return early..."

Lu Ye hurriedly responded with a token that he would come soon.

He got up, put on the three-piece armor of the master who specialized in deceiving monks, a big gun, and a strong bow, and walked out of the cave quickly.
