Chapter 7 No money is absolutely impossible
"Auntie helps me make some paste,"
Yang Xiu said while writing: "Hu Zi, go and paste these papers on your windows and doors. Remember to paste them all in the room, stick them separately, and do not overlap."
After some busyness, the two families finally posted paper with the word "warm" on the windows and doors. At this time, they were still a little cold when they stood in the house, but they could no longer feel the cold wind that was whistling in the usual way. The paper with fairy text blocked most of the chill, and the insulation effect was very good.
"Brother Yang, you are so awesome! You have learned magic so quickly." Hu Zi stared at the paper with strange words written on it curiously. He could feel a little warmth by putting his hands on it. He looked back at Yang Xiu, scratching his forehead and said in a naive manner.
Yang Xiu smiled and did not explain. The two helped Aunt Liu back home. Yang Xiu pasted the remaining three pieces of paper around Aunt Liu's earthen kang, and then helped Aunt Liu to sit down.
"Hey, that's fine, auntie, you'll sleep in this position from now on,"
Yang Xiu patted his dizzy head and grinned, "I guarantee that your feet will not hurt until dawn."
In winter, poor families can only rely on firewood to burn the kang for heating, and both families are so poor that they are so poor that they are so poor that Hu Zi goes up the mountain to chop firewood and sell it for money, so how can he use it? Now he uses Xianwen to block the doors and windows, at least it will be much more comfortable to lie on the kang.
After writing ten characters in a row, Yang Xiu's spiritual power was almost exhausted, and his head was a little dizzy. However, looking at Aunt Liu with a wrinkled face, laughing happily and satisfied, holding those familiar and unfamiliar rough palms, Yang Xiu felt that everything was worth it.
...
After dinner at Aunt Liu's house, Yang Xiu immediately returned home and put in the door. He couldn't wait to go back to the house to meditate and practice.
Yang Xiu found that feeling and absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth during practice can not only strengthen people's physical fitness, but also quickly relieve fatigue and restore physical strength. Since practicing in the examination room, Yang Sui's symptoms of typhoid fever have completely disappeared, and he is full of vitality, not like he has been rushing back and forth for dozens of miles.
Sitting cross-legged, Yang Xiu adjusted his breathing, and slowly felt the spiritual energy swimming around him, entering the state of emptiness and bright cultivation.
The practice in the early stage of body tempering is the easiest. For most immortal cultivators, as long as they can get started, they will become more and more proficient in absorbing spiritual energy and their realm will become more and more stable.
In the future, better practice techniques and even some rare spiritual medicines are needed to open up more meridians and speed up the spiritual energy entering the body and absorbing spiritual power. When the meridians in the body are developed to a certain extent, they are even stepping into the first level of body tempering.
※※※
Early the next morning, Yang Xiu was refreshed and had no breakfast, so he went out to Shanyin City Street.
What needs to be solved urgently at the moment is the livelihood problem. The success of this Immortal Arts Examination is an excellent opportunity. If you make good use of it, Aunt Liu and Hu Zi will be able to completely get rid of this poor life.
Now Yang Xiu is still an ordinary person, and he still has to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. He simply practices meditation and practice will not achieve much success. In the future, he will definitely need to spend a lot of money to buy various materials, utensils, and elixirs needed for cultivation.
The pills taken by immortals are made of various rare materials and induced by corresponding spells. According to the "Immortal Arts and Ethics", the most basic pills taken by immortals are called Fire Spirit Pills.
The effect of Fire Spirit Pill is to assist in expanding meridians and increasing the efficiency of the human body to absorb spiritual energy, and the pill contains rich spiritual power. Compared with simply absorbing spiritual power between heaven and earth, taking pills to assist in cultivation is several times faster than the former. No cultivator can resist this kind of **.
All disciples who have officially entered the Tianshu Pavilion can get a Fire Spirit Pill, but if they want to continue taking it later, they have to rely on themselves.
If you buy it directly with silver, the price of the Fire Spirit Pill is clearly marked: each piece of silver is 100 taels, and only special locations can be sold. For a poor Wensheng like Yang Xiu, who is born in a poor family, it is like a salaryman who earns 3,000 yuan a month to buy a luxury car, and can only enjoy it in his dream.
As for advanced elixirs, no matter how much gold or silver you can’t buy, you can only buy them with precious spirit stones, or directly exchange them for goods, which is very rare and rare.
The so-called spiritual stone refers to a magical ore that can independently absorb spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It has a rare number and is generally produced only in places with rich spiritual energy or extremely deep underground.
This special ore is different from elixir. It cannot give a large amount of spiritual energy to the cultivator in a short period of time, and it does not have much effect when it hits the bottleneck of cultivation. However, when the cultivator uses spirit stones in combination with the cultivation, it can greatly increase the cultivation efficiency.
The cultivation efficiency that can be improved by spirit stones is related to the cultivation of immortal cultivators. Generally speaking, the cultivation speed of lower-grade spirit stones is less than half a century, and the middle-grade is 10%. As for the legendary top-grade spirit stones, it is a despicable effect of improving the cultivation efficiency of 30%, ordinary people have no chance to see the true appearance.
For high-level immortal cultivators, it takes decades or even hundreds of years to improve a realm, so spirit stones are essential for daily practice, and they are similar to gold and silver in the world in the world of immortal cultivation.
Of course, the spirit stone is a bit ethereal to Yang Xiu, but Yang Xiu now needs real money and silver, so making money is imperative!
...
Passing through the crowded street, Yang Xiu quickly walked to a building with flying eaves and arches, full of momentum.
This is the city government office of Shanyin City.
The government in Shanyin City is also subject to the sect of immortal cultivation to a certain extent, and has a close connection with the Tianshu Pavilion, such as helping the Tianshu Pavilion. Today, the entrance of the yamen is particularly lively, with people coming and going, and there are several tables at the door, and the responsible recorder is making records.
Every famous Tianbang Wensheng in Shanyin City has to come here to report, confirm the identity of the disciples outside the Tianshu Pavilion, and receive a bounty, which is also the main purpose of Yang Xiu coming here today.
After strolling to the table, Yang Xiuchong said politely: "Official, I'll report to the Immortal Arts Entrance Examination."
"you?"
The recorder looked at Yang Xiu with some suspicion, with unconcealed contempt in his eyes. At this time, Yang Xiu was still wearing a torn cotton jacket full of patches. At first glance, he definitely didn't think of Wen Sheng, who was full of knowledge, but more like a real poor man.
However, when Yang Xiu took out the golden paper in his arms and accurately reported his examination information, the recorder and the people around him almost fell off in shock, and his eyes turned from contempt to shock.
"So it's really Mr. Yang. I think I have the same name and surname. Haha~"
The recorder responded the fastest, his face immediately filled with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "Congratulations to Mr. Yang, you will get the immortality when you enter the Tianshu Pavilion to cultivate the immortals, and immortality is just around the corner! This is Mr. Yang's identity wooden sign and reward..."
Yang Xiu sneered in his heart, and showed no expression on his face. He took two things from the recorder's hand and checked them correctly. Then he said a few polite words to the recorder, and turned around and left quickly.
The identity wooden sign is actually an exquisite seal, heavy, and the whole body is carved from bright yellow wood. The surface of the wooden sign is carved with a cloud-covered pavilion, representing the Tianshu Pavilion; under the seal, the four words "Shanyin Yang Xiu" are engraved with the yang carving technique.
This is a unique identity identifier in Tianshu Pavilion, and each disciple in the sect has one.
The silver rewarded by the government was wrapped in a cloth bag, with a total of ten taels of silver.
This is ten taels of silver! Just writing letters on behalf of others, I can't see so much white silver in my life. Yang Xiu touched the silver and wooden signs in his arms, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Everyone around who were preparing to watch the fun watched Yang Xiu leave, all of whom were dumbfounded, and the monk was unable to touch his mind.
When can even a person with dull qualifications like Yang Xiu pass the literary exam? Is this year's literary exam particularly simple?
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but beat their chests and stamp their feet and cried loudly: I had known that I would have tried my luck yesterday, and I wasted such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Regret!
...
Yang Xiu did not delay for a moment, left the yamen and went directly to Duobao Pavilion on the street opposite.
Duobao Pavilion is the largest four-treasure store in the city. Now I have just passed the exam. There are nearly 100 famous scholars in Shanyin City. The atmosphere of learning immortal literature and striving to practice is particularly strong. The business of Duobao Pavilion is ridiculously good. The shopkeeper Qi from Duobao Pavilion is so happy that he is about to fly.
He called a friend and Yang Xiu bought two rolls of high-quality rice paper, a square of stone inkstone, and expensive ink and brushes. Before the ten taels of silver in his arms were warmed up, he spent everything clean after replacing his hand.
Yang Xiu knew that this money could not be saved. Good pens and ink were like the swords and blades that warriors loved. Without them, even the best calligraphy would have to be discounted, which would be too much of a difference.
After picking up the things in his hand, Yang Xiu turned around and walked towards the corner of Duobao Pavilion, and wanted to write the immortal text on the spot.
That’s right, the way Yang Xiu thought of was to sell the thousand-character text!
The thousand-character text copied on paper is convenient for studying, and the second is that it will bring some insights left by the writer, which is of great help to remember and visualize immortal texts. It is something that every literary student dreams of.
No matter where you go, there is no shortage of rich people. In Yang Xiu's memory, a thousand-character article with only seven or eight hundred words can be sold for dozens of taels of silver. As the number of words increases, the price rises even more, and it can be called the most popular luxury goods in contemporary times.
What else can make money faster than this?
