Chapter 24: Grandma’s Advice(1/2)
Baiyun Mountain Top, the rising sun
Grandma walked out of the cave slowly, her face solemn.
She has been in this county for half a year, and the second-level high-grade spiritual veins of the Zhao family on Baiyun Mountain are freely available to her, but her magic power can no longer be increased.
She was at the pinnacle of foundation building a long time ago.
It's a pity that the damaged consciousness has never been fully restored, leaving her with no possibility of advancing to the Zifu.
Time flies by, even monks will age.
Just now she felt faintly that her energy and blood were beginning to show signs of weakening.
If I can no longer find a way to repair the foundation, I will be like this for the rest of my life.
She sighed softly, as if she had seen the young girl with charming features and great talent.
With the spiritual roots of water and wood, the Purple Mansion can be expected. The teacher at that time said this about her.
I hope Yue'er won't be like me, and I hope she will enjoy her immortal journey forever. She thought silently in her heart.
At this time, a small figure in the distance was walking along the mountain road. Looking in this direction, it was right here.
She gathered her energy and leapt forward, flying over lightly.
"Little Shitou, are you running up the mountain early in the morning to find grandma?"
……
The child crawling on the mountain road is Yang Zhen. It has been two days since her fight with Zhao Yue'er.
Yesterday, he was officially adopted as an adopted son by his wife.
The so-called formality actually means that an official from the county government came here and wrote on the replacement Yang Zhen's household registration that "in such and such a year and month, he was adopted by so-and-so", and then signed and pledged it, and the procedure was completed.
p>
It is not very formal, and it can be modified at any time in the future. For example, if you add a record such as "In such and such a year and month, this son voluntarily becomes a servant," the identity of the adopted son will be invalidated. Of course, if you can step in
Xianmen, that is a completely different scene.
Yang Zhen also respectfully calls his wife "adopted mother", but this title is rarely used, and he usually calls his wife the same as everyone else.
He also learned his wife's name for the first time: Qin Wan, and also learned that he had a "adopted father" whom he had never seen before. This person's name is Zhao Xi, he is thirty-five years old, he is a mortal, and he is also the top three in the Xu Dynasty.
Jinshi, now an official in Qingzhou.
Zhao Xi has a more prominent identity. The Zhao family has two major purple houses, and he is the only son of the ancestor Zhexi. More than thirty years ago, Master Zhexi was seriously injured in a battle with the demons. At that time, Xiu Xi
In order to lose everything, he just took advantage of this opportunity to recruit concubines, and then he got Zhao Xi.
Qingzhou is far away from each other. According to the regulations of the Xu Dynasty, people who leave the state to serve as officials can visit relatives once every three years. Zhao Xi came back during spring break last year, so Yang Zhen will not see his adoptive father in the near future.
p>
After being recognized as an adopted son, Yang Zhen's "job" in the mansion was also confirmed, and he was Zhao Yue'er's companion. Not only did he have to study geography, general history, literature, calligraphy, musical instruments and other courses with this little girl,
They also need to practice martial arts together and serve as a sparring partner.
This job is not easy to do, he secretly complained. He has realized that he is no match for this little girl, and he doesn’t know how many times he will be abused by her in the future. Thinking of this, his face twitches.
His monthly salary is twenty silver coins, which is about the same as Caisi.
However, his ability to make money is obviously unmatched by Cai Si. He will receive some rewards every night for telling stories, especially the day before yesterday, when the lady directly gave him a gold coin, which must have some meaning to make up for it.
In addition, after recognizing her adopted son yesterday, my wife gave him another ten gold coins. This is a commendation for his provision of the double-entry accounting method. In the future, this accounting method will be promoted, and there will be additional rewards.
In addition, he also has a commendation from the Junguan, which is the income from the contribution of the spiritual vein. It is said that it will be a real estate in the county. However, this is still going through the process, and it is not known when it will be in his hands.<
/p>
So he is really not short of money now, what he is short of is... spiritual stones!
There are only eight spirit drops left in the space. The little guy is about to run out of food. He has to find a way.
This is the purpose of coming to see grandma at this time.
……
Seeing her grandma suddenly appearing in front of her, Yang Zhen was surprised and happy, and she hurriedly saluted:
"Good morning, Mom, I have something to ask Mom for advice."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Yang Zhen hurriedly took out a stack of paper from her arms.
"This is a set of body-building exercises. I would like to ask my grandma to help me with the details."
What Yang Zhen took out was the [Five Elements Body Strengthening Technique] recorded from the wood carving last time.
Grandma did not reach out to pick it up, but asked him strangely:
"Kung Fu? Where did you get the Kung Fu?"
"It's our Yang family's technique. I recalled it in the past two days."
"Oh, show me your Yang family's exercises. Is it suitable?" She smiled slightly.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is taboo to spy on other people's skills. Naturally, Nanny had to ask clearly, even if the person in front of her was just a child.
"Of course it doesn't matter. Without grandma's guidance, I wouldn't know how to practice this technique." Yang Zhen answered without hesitation.
"Hmm."
Grandma then took the paper from Yang Zhen's hand, scanned it roughly, and suddenly her eyes widened:
"This technique of yours can actually increase the probability of spiritual roots manifesting!"
She was no longer calm, and with a wave of her hand, a chair appeared on the grass. She sat on it and looked at it carefully.
"It can indeed be improved, probably..." She knocked on the table: "It's about 10% to 30%. Ordinary people are 10%. If they are the sons of female cultivators, they can reach 30%."
"But..." She frowned slightly: "This medicated bath only contains Scorpion King Grass and Qingyan Sand, which requires five spiritual stones, as well as these food supplements, Mountain Rat, Fire Rock Rabbit...
These add up..."
Grandma shook her head, quite disappointed: "This set of exercises of yours will cost a lot of spiritual stones!"
"Mommy, didn't you say that those big families would be willing to pay any amount of money if they could cultivate a seed for cultivating immortals." Mammy quickly saw the problem with this technique, and Yang Zhen was not surprised.
"Yes, they are willing to spend money, but you have too much!" Mammy counted on her fingers: "Increase the probability to 10%. According to my estimate, the number of spiritual stones is at least 100! That's enough for ten people.
One thousand!"
"It takes one thousand spirit stones to produce one immortal cultivator. Those big families who raise a thousand adopted sons only need three to five thousand gold a year, which is three to five hundred spirit stones. Your difference is three to five times!"
"More importantly, spiritual stones are far more precious than gold and silver and are harder to obtain. With these thousand spiritual stones, wouldn't it be better to train a monk in the family?"
Yang Zhen already understood these principles. But when grandma said this, he was a little worried. She wouldn't object to me practicing this technique, would she?
After thinking for a while, he simply said bluntly:
"Mommy, I want to practice this technique."
"You..." Grandma stared at Yang Zhen: "Have you considered how many spiritual stones it will cost?"
"I have considered it," Yang Zhen said without hesitation: "This technique requires a total of nine hundred spirit stones in three stages, of which the second stage requires about one hundred and fifty spirit stones."
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones, for you, you are not short of this amount of spirit stones," Mammy sighed: "Then you can practice. If the spirit stones are not enough, I still have more than four hundred of your spirit stones here.
Shi, just look for me then."
With the support of his grandma, Yang Zhen's biggest goal has been achieved. He needs the endorsement of his grandma so that he can get his spiritual stone back from his wife.
Seemingly seeing what Yang Zhen was thinking, Grandma continued:
"Since you need spiritual stones, I will also tell your adoptive mother and ask her to give you the spiritual stones. Also, if you go to the market to purchase these spiritual objects, I will also find a monk to accompany you."
"Thank you, mama. However, I can't help the monks in the mansion with my own affairs. Now that I have the identity token of the Zhao mansion, I believe that the safety of buying things in Fangshi is guaranteed."
Yang Zhen naturally didn't want anyone to accompany him, otherwise how could he save the spirit stone and give it to Xiaocao?
"That's fine. If a shop bullies you, or passes off inferior products as good ones, just tell me, and then I will personally go to help you get justice!"
With Mammy's words, Yang Zhen felt reassured.
"Please help me, grandma, to find out what I need to pay attention to when I practice this technique." Yang Zhen continued.
"Okay."
At this time, the sky was already bright, and grandma took the body-building exercise and continued to study it carefully. Yang Zhen stood aside and waited quietly.
After a while, grandma put down the exercise:
"There are two questions. First, are these Five Elements Spiritual Beasts used as food supplements recommended by the practice itself, or are they added by you yourself?"
"Most of them are examples of exercises, but some are not seen in the market, so I added them myself according to the five elements."
"You boy, you are so ignorant and fearless," said the nanny with a smile: "The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and the balance here is difficult to grasp. If you choose the wrong spiritual beast, problems will arise. For example, you, the Fire Rock Rabbit, although you are a Fire Rabbit,
system, but sometimes earth-type variants appear, so you must pay attention."
"Let's do this. I'll help you draw up a new list of five-element monsters, all of which are found in Shuyang County."
