Chapter 1 Get up early in the morning to pick up feces

As soon as the sky was dawn, Xu Chen was awakened by the chirping birds outside.

I walked out of the dilapidated hut while yawning, stood on the mountainside and looked around at the green mountains and misty peaks and gullies in front of me, rubbed my face a few times, scrubbed my eyes and washed my face and rinsed my mouth with the water spring beside me, picked up a broken pottery bowl and dried a few mouthfuls of cold water, then cleaned it up briefly, and walked to the back mountain with a basket of dried food.

After walking along the narrow and rugged mountain road for half a stick of incense, the mountain road turned around and saw a waterfall falling down from dozens of feet high. The mountain wind blew by and the mist splashed. In the morning sun, there was a splash of gold and jade, and the cool breath made people feel refreshed.

There is a medicinal field under the cliff, which is not large in area, only two or three acres.

There are many medicinal materials planted inside. Although they look good, they are not very useful. Most of them are low-level medicinal materials such as Polygonatum Scarborundum, some are blooming, with red, yellow, blue and white colors intertwined, which is quite pleasing to the eye. However, compared with the surrounding ancient pines and vines, the lush natural environment, it seems sparse and a bit shattered.

A thin old Taoist priest with gray hair and a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun was patrolling the medicine field. When he heard his steps turn around, he saw Xu Chen coming in with his mouth wiped.

The old Taoist priest nodded slightly.

Xu Chen quickly saluted: "Three Elder, why are you here?"

The old Taoist priest said: "The 100th birthday of the Emperor of Song is coming soon. A few days ago, the third prince came to visit. According to the old rules, our Taiyuan Sect will give you some elixirs. I will come to the medicine field to see if there are any suitable mature medicinal materials to refine a furnace of elixirs."

Xu Chen couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "The Dog Emperor has such a great reputation. We can't refine several furnaces of immortal elixirs a year. Why bother to give them a try?"

The old Taoist priest didn't care and shook his head and said, "Although there are differences in immortals and mortals, our Taiyuan Sect is in the territory of Song State, and some ordinary things may not be avoided, and it is reasonable to travel. Moreover, the emperor of Song State was born in the Yuqing Palace, so he has to give this face no matter what. But we just have ordinary elixirs, and we can't bring it out. Why do you complain? Let's ask the immortals and ask, remember to be calm."

Although Xu Chen was unhappy, he was still respectfully taught and accompanied the old Taoist priest to wander around the medicine field. After only half an hour of searching, he only found three or five medicinal materials that could barely be used together.

The old Taoist priest looked at the sparse and thin herbs in the bamboo basket, and his face looked quite ugly.

Xu Chen had to bite the bullet and said, "Three Elder, the disciple is not lazy. He takes care of him carefully every day. Today he is preparing to go out to find some manure."

The old Taoist priest nodded slightly and said, "The medicine garden is well maintained, and I don't mean to blame me. It's just that the great elder told me that the elixirs I would like to give this time should be at least second grade. Not only are these medicinal materials not only have enough medicinal power, but also a few main medicines are not enough. Just go by yourself, I will go out and see if I can find it.

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, his sleeves swayed into the air, turning into a stream of light and heading towards a sudden strange peak in the distance.

Xu Chen smacked his lips with envy, then pulled out a half-foot-long gray sword from his waist, silently recited the magic formula and pointed it at the finger point. The sword suddenly shone brightly, and it rose to three feet in the wind, floating two feet above the ground. Xu Chen sat up like a horse, and then one person and one sword turned crookedly towards the rising sun, towards the vast mountains surrounded by green clouds and mist.

"It's so hard!"

Walking on the sword is an immortal method, but for Xu Chen, who is riding a sword and blowing the wind, it is full of sadness.

He was an orphan who lived by herding cattle and picking up dung for wealthy families, but he didn't want to be lucky when he was ten years old. He was discovered by the second elder who traveled outside the Taiyuan Sect and actually had spiritual roots and was a seedling of immortal cultivation, so he took them back to the mountain to collect them as his disciple.

Xu Chen once thought that his destiny was clear and strange, and finally moved the heavens and the gods and Buddhas, and from then on, he could practice to become a fairy and free life in the world.

But I never thought that picking up manure in the mortal world will still be the only way to picking up manure when I reach the immortal gate.

And he thought that his talented spiritual roots were just the most trashy variety in the world of immortal cultivation, and he could barely practice it.

After the second elder brought him back to the mountain gate to teach some introductory techniques, he threw him on the mountain and went out to travel. He came back a few days ago. Although Xu Chen worked hard and worked hard every day, he had just entered the entry into Qi training after a few years and was able to control magic weapons to fly. As for magic, he only knew two or three of the most superficial and low-level types in the world of immortal cultivation. He definitely belonged to the five slags of the world of immortal cultivation, and was completely a species that gave away heads.

His current strength is good to deal with ordinary beasts, but if he encounters some more powerful spirit beasts and monsters, he can only turn himself into feces.

Fortunately, there is nothing terrible near Taiyuan Sect. The threatening monsters were basically killed or driven away by several elders and several senior brothers and sisters with good strength.

In addition, although his cheap master is not very reliable, he is still good to him. After knowing that he entered the Kaiyuan Realm, he was still very happy and gave him a first-grade flying sword he had used before, otherwise Xu Chen might not even go out of the mountain gate.

Taiyuan Gate is located deep in the vast mountains, with a radius of thousands of miles of desolate people. It is still more than 300 miles away from the nearest city of the Song Dynasty. There is no road in the mountains. If you can't fly, you can only stay on the mountain for the rest of your life.

Since having this flying sword, Xu Chen has truly begun to experience the magical powers of immortals. Although they are not the kind of cool flying sky and earth, they have the ability to go out.

There are only more than ten people in the Taiyuan Sect, and their strength is not strong. In addition to the great elders who have reached the late stage of Danyuan Realm, there are two other elders in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm.

The third elder who came just now was in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm and was good at refining alchemy, so they usually stayed on the mountain.

Xu Chen's master is the second elder. He has been traveling around the world for many years to find opportunities to make breakthroughs. However, it has been five years since Xu Chen joined the Taiyuan Sect. Master has shown no sign of breakthroughs. He will go back to the mountain every year and stay for ten days and half a month before leaving again.

It's been more than a year since I've been back.

Even Xu Chen occasionally maliciously guessed whether his master had already died secretly.

But every time this thought flashed by, Xu Chen felt guilty again. He was an orphan since he was a child. It was not until he met his master and brought him up the mountain gate that he began to truly feel some warmth and care.

As the saying goes, a child with a mother is like a treasure. If you have a master in Taiyuan Sect, it will be more or less beneficial. At least those senior brothers and sisters dare not bully him if they are fine.

Of course, because of the unreliability of the master, he left him on the mountain for many years and ignored him. The other senior brothers and sisters naturally handed him over the hardest, most tiring and most promising jobs to him, taking care of the medicine garden, and working hard to pick up manure fields.

Taiyuan Sect is small and broken, and still poor. Not only is there little skill, but the elixirs are even scarce. Xu Chen has never seen the second-grade elixir. In fact, he has only eaten the real first-grade elixir once. That was given by the sect according to the rules when he broke through the Kaiyuan Realm. It was called the Huayuan Pill.

Pills are also needed for daily practice. The most common one is Xiaoyuan Pill. The Xiaoyuan Pill is mainly used to assist in refining essence and transforming qi and speeding up the operation of vital energy. It is considered a elixir that can barely be included in the grade. However, because of poverty, more than ten disciples of Taiyuan Sect are allocated according to their strength and contribution. Because Xu Chen did not go out to practice, he would not have much chance to find some contribution sects of heaven and earth treasures. Therefore, he could only get one bottle in a year, and there would not be more than ten pills in total. If he wanted to practice faster, pills were essential. A group of settled disciples could only find ways everywhere. Almost apart from killing the family, he had done all the other capable ones. In the eyes of mortals, the so-called high-ranking immortal sect is actually just a group of savages with green eyes all day long, which is not much better than some casual cultivators.

However, Xu Chen is still very pure because he has no chance to do it.

The biggest obstacle is that he can't beat it 90% of it, so he can only be cowardly at the mountain gate.

The job of picking up manure made him humble and helpless.

After riding a first-rate flying sword, he flew around the vast mountains for almost two minutes. Xu Chen put his sword and landed on the top of a mountain a hundred miles away from the mountain gate, and began to meditate and recover his energy.

Refining essence and qi is divided into three stages: Kaiyuan Qi training, True Yuan Foundation Building and Danyuan Dan Building. Therefore, the immortal cultivation world is also called Kaiyuan Realm, the True Yuan Realm and Danyuan Realm, and each level can be roughly divided into three small stages: front, middle and back.

Xu Chen is now between the early and mid-stage stages of Kaiyuan Realm. In fact, according to the vital energy he reserves, he can barely support the flying sword to fly continuously for half an hour, but he has anxiety syndrome of insufficient vital energy. He always wants to fill his energy when his vital energy is consumed for nearly half.

If his vitality falls by about one-third, he will begin to be anxious and nervous, and will always feel that his life is in danger.

Of course, this caution and anxiety disorder made him sit and meditate and recover his anger at all times, and it did make him have enough energy to escape from danger after encountering monsters and spirit beasts.

Two moments later, three small Zhoutians passed one after another. Xu Chen felt that he was full of energy again, so he stood up with satisfaction, looked around the vast mountains and fields, thinking about where to go to make a fortune today.

It is said to be rich, but it is actually to pick up scavengers.

But it is actually a bit emphatic to pick up scattered people. To be precise, he spends most of the time picking up manure.

Taiyuan Gate was said to have been very powerful and glorious before. At its peak, there were thousands of monks. The mountain gates were spread across thousands of miles, and there were dozens of hills, including buildings, halls, Taoist temples, medicine gardens, etc., which were truly like a temple of gods and immortals.

Unfortunately, I suddenly suffered a catastrophe after somehow. The entire sect collapsed in several years. So now, the ruins left in the vast mountains are everywhere. For thousands of years, it has become a Taobao venue for other immortal cultivators. However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer treasures, and gradually no one comes.

The current Taiyuan Sect actually has nothing directly to do with the Taiyuan Sect before. Instead, three hundred years ago, a casual cultivator found a fairly authentic Taiyuan Sect technique in the ruins and had achieved success in his practice. So he established a sect here again, and still used the name of Taiyuan Sect.

Of course, all Taiyuan Sect disciples are still accustomed to treating the ancient and brilliant Taiyuan Sect as part of their history. After all, the mountain gates of martial arts are all inherited from the same lineage, which can be regarded as orthodox inheritance, and it is not considered to be randomly attracted to relatives.

Disciples with low cultivation in Taiyuan Sect spend most of their time picking up scattered things in the ruins near the mountain gate.

Xu Chen is currently the smallest and lowest-cultivated disciple of Taiyuan Sect. In addition to turning over the ragged underwear of his ancestors on weekdays, he is also responsible for taking care of the medicine garden. His main function is to be a manure picker and a manure picker.

To nourish the medicinal field, ordinary wild beast feces are not enough, they must be monsters or spiritual beast feces.

Because only these advanced beasts know that eating plants or ores rich in spiritual energy will remain in the feces.

A large number of spiritual herbs are used to refine alchemy, and wild ones are difficult to collect. If you want to supply a sect elixir stably, you must plant a large amount of them.

All folk food and vegetables have to be fertilized to grow well, not to mention spiritual herbs that rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to have medicinal effects. If the spiritual energy is insufficient, it would be fine if the herbs cannot grow into weapons. Even if they barely grow, they will degenerate into ordinary herbs without any medicinal effects.

It is said that the large immortal sect planting spiritual medicines directly use spirit stones to make fertilizer.

But Xu Chen has been practicing immortality for five years and has not saved a single spiritual stone, let alone a fat field.

The Taiyuan Sect has a poor family, and only three elders have some spirit stones on their bodies, but they are reluctant to use them on weekdays. They will only place the spirit gathering array to assist in the impact and breakthrough at critical moments of cultivation. As for Xu Chen and a group of senior brothers and sisters, they are even short of money and feel like a nouveau riche if they are one or two pieces.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chen released his flying sword and rode on his way to a canyon in the southwest.

You must pick up feces as early as possible. This is his experience summarizing after two years of picking up feces.

Only by taking advantage of the opportunity when the spirit beasts leave their nests for food in the early morning is the best opportunity to grab the feces. Otherwise, once these spirit beasts find that aliens break into the territory, if they fail to escape, they will most likely be ravaged.

Of course, most of the time I pick up dung depends on luck. After all, this thing is not something you want. He is not the only one who grabs dung in the mountains. There are also many birds, beasts, snakes, rats, insects and ants who are interested in these spiritual feces. In addition, the dung beetle does more things than him. That is a ancestral skill and can't learn it even if you want to.

Therefore, picking up feces is not too late, and going out late, so you can't even grab a bunch of cakes.
