Cultivation Of Immortality: Double Cultivation With Thousand Times Experience
Chapter 3: \"Membership Card\"
In a sect like the Four Sacred Sect that selects disciples with strict standards and has a very low success rate in foundation building, for disciples like Jì Hou who fail to attack the foundation building but are lucky enough to survive, the sect will often give two paths.
One is that the sect, out of humanitarian concern, will provide them with a generous pension that will allow them to spend their old age in the secular world, and then draw a clear line with the sect; the other is to continue to practice in the sect, although the road ahead It is difficult, but it is still possible to resume Qi training and complete cultivation, and then do some work within the sect's ability.
Originally, faced with such a fork in life, Jì Hou had already been inclined to choose the former and find a quiet corner to spend the rest of her life in silence. However, at this moment, his mood changed subtly. "Stay here for now and take it one step at a time. After all, no one can predict the future. It won't be worse than now." He thought to himself. , so he cheered up and began to tidy up his somewhat crude cave.
After the formation in the cave was lifted, Jì Hou had just taken half a step out of the cave when he met two familiar figures - an old man with a red face and a cheerful look, and a female nun with a gorgeous dress and a graceful figure. , she shyly held the old man's arm, clinging to the old man like a bird clinging to a human.
The old man’s surname was Li, and Jì Hou had been neighbors with him for many years. The two caves were only separated by a wall, and their decades of friendship were extraordinary. Whenever he sees a new-faced female cultivator next to Old Li Tou, Jì Hou can't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Old Li Tou and Jì Hou had a similar fate: they both had middle-grade spiritual root qualifications. They had worked hard for decades as descendants of farmers growing spiritual plants in the Four Saints Sect, but in the end they could not buy them because the deadline for foundation building was approaching. Foundation Establishment Pill, I had no choice but to force the pass, but the result was that I failed to pass the pass, and my cultivation level declined significantly.
After being disheartened, he chose to give up the struggle and use all the spiritual stones he had accumulated over the years for enjoyment. He only completed the minimum amount of tasks stipulated by the sect and continued to stay here to live a happy life. In a sense, Lao Li Tou is the projection of Jì Hou's future, and a true portrayal of all the disciples who failed to attack the foundation and chose to stay behind in the sect.
They were in a difficult situation, with a short life expectancy and a bleak future. They simply abandoned everything and lived a self-destructive life that seemed free and easy but was actually miserable.
But to be honest, Jì Hou is quite envious of Lao Li Tou's life.
"You are getting stronger as you get older, Lao Litou, change your partner every week. You are such a romantic person, don't die on a woman's belly instead of passing away, and end up with a ridiculous end." Jì Hou was half joking and half serious. He scolded with a smile, but his words revealed deep concern and concern for this ninety-eight-year-old friend.
Although Old Li Tou is already in his prime years, judging from the longevity of a monk in the Qi Refining Stage who is over a hundred years old, he has indeed entered the countdown stage of his life. I saw him walking steadily over, his face glowing red, and a cheerful smile hanging on his face covered with traces of time. He wanted to say hello to Jì Hou first, but Jì Hou spoke first.
After listening to Jì Hou's slightly reproachful teasing, Lao Litou just waved his hand and responded nonchalantly: "I don't have a few more years to live. If I don't have fun now, I won't have a chance when I die." .Besides, I don’t plan to establish any family inheritance anyway, so I might as well use the accumulated spiritual stones for enjoyment. Life is short, and the phrase carpe diem is what you taught me back then.”
Old Li Tou was dressed in bright red and green clothes. He didn't have the aura of a spiritual cultivator at all. Instead, he looked like a playboy who was obsessed with fireworks and idle all day long. As he spoke, he looked Jì Hou up and down, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
"It's you..." Old Li paused, his sharp eyes seeming to penetrate people's bodies and minds, "I see that your aura is weak and your energy and blood are disordered. Could it be that you have failed to attack the foundation-building realm recently?"
After hearing this, Jì Hou nodded with a wry smile and acquiesced in Lao Li Tou's judgment. His face looked a little gloomy, but he tried his best to remain open-minded and calm.
"Alas..." Old Li sighed, his eyes showing melancholy and regret. "This foundation building barrier is like a natural chasm that stands in front of ordinary monks. How many people are unable to cross it in their entire life. Every attack on the foundation building is a test of life and death. If you are frustrated this time, you must take good care of yourself and don't rush. hope for success."
The Four Sacred Sect, this famous behemoth in the world of cultivation, has a profound foundation. Excluding the ordinary disciples, there are approximately 25,000 monks with advanced cultivation. Behind this huge number, it also reveals the hardships and difficulties of the path of cultivation: among them, there is only one Yuanying old monster who stands proudly among the others, thirteen Jindan masters each lead the way, and 593 foundation-building deacons shoulder the responsibility. important task, and the rest are all monks in the Qi refining stage. The proportion of high-level monks is less than half, which is enough to prove that the way of cultivation is easy to learn but difficult to master, and it also shows that the road is long.
Facing this reality, Jì Hou inevitably felt a little bitter. Old Li Tou, who was beside him, noticed his sadness, patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly, using himself as an example: "Relax, it's not a big deal if you fail to build the foundation. Look at me, even though I haven't built the foundation yet, But his life is more nourishing than that of ordinary foundation-building monks."
After hearing this, Jì Hou couldn't help laughing. He is well aware of the living conditions of Old Li Tou, who is as carefree and happy as a fairy day after day - he wakes up from his sleep every day to enjoy boundless fun, and when night falls, he is immersed in the gentle countryside. There are many fairies around him, each with his or her own merits. How many people can live like this?
"Looking at your pale face, shouldn't you find a female nun to massage you to clear your meridians and help you regain your strength?" Lao Litou suddenly lowered his voice, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he approached Jì Hou arm in arm. , "They practice special secret techniques and have unique techniques that will definitely make you want to stop."
Jì Hou waved his hand and declined. He knew that the reason why Lao Li Tou was able to spend so much was because he accumulated a lot of wealth when he was young. Back then, Lao Li Tou was a hard-working man. While others would take on a mission once a month, he would take on one mission three or four times, almost risking his life, just to earn spiritual stones to buy a precious foundation-building pill. You must know that the price of Foundation Establishment Pills on the market is as high as 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and they are often priceless and can only be exchanged within the sect.
After decades of accumulation, Old Li Tou's savings in his hands have undoubtedly exceeded 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones. However, the reason why he has not exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill so far is probably just like a person who knows how to drink cold water, and the dirty things in the sect cannot be easily understood. Expression.
Fifty thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Even if Old Li Tou lived a luxurious life and had fun with female cultivators for many years, half of this huge sum of money would not be consumed. In the market, a high-grade first-grade magic weapon suitable for use by monks in the late stage of Qi training only sells for a mere hundred low-grade spiritual stones, which further highlights the wealth of Old Li Tou's family.
Faced with Jì Hou's rejection, Lao Li Tou did not force it. After all, everyone has their own lifestyle and choices. However, he still wanted to leave something for Jì Hou, so he frivolously patted the buttocks of the female cultivator next to him and called out: "Le'er, give your card to fellow Taoist Yuan, maybe he will Changed your mind."
The female cultivator who was called Le'er was immediately shy and gave a charming squeak, then handed over a card that looked like a bank card: "Fellow Daoist Ji, please keep this card~"
"When you use this card to spend money at our Jile Building, the sisters will give you a discount. This is a discount that only acquaintances can enjoy. This time it's a bargain for you."
