Slow and immortal

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Xiao Yao opened the first page of the book, and there was only a preface written on it
"Heaven's mandate is called nature, self-willedness is called Dao, and cultivating Dao is called teaching. Dao is one that cannot be separated even for a moment; if you can leave it, it is not Dao."

When she wanted to read it again, she found that all the pages behind were sealed with red wax. Naturally, it must have been sealed by the old Taoist. When she thought that even such a stepping book was kept secret like this, she couldn't help laughing. He was too rich, so he had to call the old Taoist:

"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this book?"

Hearing her call, the old Taoist poked his head to look at the book in her hand, and his expression sank instantly.
"Did this fellow Taoist come to my booth for entertainment? After choosing for a long time, this is the book?"

At this time, the old Taoist was more sure that the person in front of him was here to seek his bad luck, and his words became irritating, and he refused to buy the good jade slips, but insisted on buying the broken books he used to pad the legs of the table, and it was not to amuse him Fortunately, all of his items have exclusive marks, so you can't see them all unless you buy them.

As soon as Xiao Yao knew that the old man had misunderstood her, she smiled and explained sincerely:

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood me. I didn't come here to make trouble. I really want to buy this book. Please make a price."

The old Taoist looked her up and down with unkind eyes, and saw that Xiao Yao was only a late-stage foundation-establishment cultivator, and she was considered a monk in the same realm. He also saw that she was plainly dressed and smiling, like a girl next door, without any arrogance. Probably not a young lady with a background. Thinking of this, her tone hardened:
"This book is not for sale, it is a gift."

"Gift?" Seeing the contemptuous look of the old man, Xiao Yao immediately understood that she seemed to have annoyed the old man a little.

So she pretended to be stunned and said:

"Presumably this book is just a gift for buying the "Wan Ren Ni Cultivation Biography", I think so, only such a famous book will be given as a gift with book friends, it's a pity that this book is very different from my way, but also I don’t mind buying it and donating it to other people who are more in need. How about this, fellow Taoist, I bought as many spirit stones as this "Wanren You Xiuxian Biography", but I only need this gift, and the jade slip will be left to you. Fellow Taoists decide how to send it to other people in need."

Hearing what she said, the old man's face softened, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Now in this world of cultivating immortals, no matter whether you have background or not, whether you have strength or not, you will flatter and flatter those who are stronger than you, and weaker than yourself Most of them have eyes that grow to the top of their heads and don't even look at them with a contemptuous attitude, except for the female cultivator in front of them.

Everyone else gave him a price to step down, and besides, his level was higher than his own, so the old man no longer cared about pretending to cough twice:
"Ahhh, do you think I'm an old man who is greedy for petty gain? You must be honest when doing business! If you sell it to you, it's yours. If you want to give it away or throw it away, it's your business. Take the three low-grade spirit stones away. "

Seeing him waving his sleeves generously, Xiao Yao suddenly felt a pain in the flesh. Such a jade slip, which is no more than rubbish to her, wants three low-grade spirit stones, it is simply extortion.

"Um, fellow daoist, may I ask if this is really the market price?"

Sophisticated frown
"Of course, will I cheat you? If you don't believe me, take a look around in this market. If my price is higher than others, you are welcome to return it at any time."

Since he was so sure, Xiao Yao didn't want to say much, after all, she really wanted the book, so she had to take out three low-grade spirit stones from the thin storage bag and give them to the old man.

Seeing the Lingshi, the old Taoist finally regained the red smile at the beginning
"Hey, fellow daoist is indeed a man of knowledge. I said that you will definitely return home satisfied. Come and let me help you undo the two restrictions."

At this moment, another young man walked up to Lao Dao's booth and asked:
"Huang Daoyou, what new jade slips are there recently?"

Sophisticated finger

"So it's Daoyou Chen, he's an old customer, so let's see for ourselves first, I'll come over after I finish the order."

After finishing speaking, he handed the jade slips and book that released the restriction to Xiao Yao and said in a low voice:
"Seeing whether this fellow Daoist Chen is there, he just read these experiences and realized suddenly. From the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining, now he has a restrained expression."

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on the young man, who was carefully selecting the jade slips at the moment, with a blank expression on his face.

Sensing Xiao Yao's gaze, the man raised his head and glanced at her, nodded slightly, then lowered his head to pick out his jade slips, and finally tripped over his long gown when he paid the money and left.

He made a sullen face and tried hard to restrain his expression, but the embarrassing blush still covered his cheeks. Finally, he looked left and right as if no one was paying attention to him, and then he walked away unsteadily.

Xiao Yao looked at the background who pretended to leave calmly, smiled helplessly, and left in the opposite direction.

Cultivating Taoism requires not only cultivation of skills, but also cultivation of Taoism, both of which are indispensable.The same kind of skills and spells can be practiced together, but the Dao heart is unique. No one's Dao will be the same, just like reading different books to get different insights.

Dao Xin cultivates the perception of everything in the world, which can only be experienced bit by bit by oneself, looking for opportunities to enlighten Dao, there is no shortcut.

Looking at the young man's words and deeds just now as if they were all copied from a book, with a stiff and unnatural expression, Xiao Yao seemed to see herself who became a master's disciple that year, imitating others and raising her head proudly, with every step and every look. imitate others
After walking around the market for a few times, Xiao Yao went to a few more stalls, compared the prices, and found that the old Taoist did not raise the prices, and then she went to the shops of the big commercial houses for a while, and found that the goods in these big shops were still relatively cheap. Comprehensive, there are also many experiences and experiences written by Da Neng at the moment, but the price makes Xiao Yao only a step back.

When it came to Shenshi, she had nothing else to gain except the book "Mediocre Quotations".

In the last hope, I walked around the market again, and saw other monks with expressionless faces, more or less deliberate, I have to say that these so-called powerful jade slips are indeed very popular in the world of cultivating immortals. There is a certain market, but it is limited to some low-level monks, or monks who have no hope of reaching a higher level due to aptitude or limit, but the disciples of capable or great sect families dismiss it, and the final result It caused the prices of some basic alchemy, refining equipment, and talisman jade slips to skyrocket, which made people sigh.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yao planned to rest for a while in the nearby tea house before returning to Xianyumen.
