Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 24 People of the Nine Profound Gates
In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Ruyan returned with a smile on her face, followed by five or six young women holding trays in their hands.
"Everything is complete. Are you satisfied with it?"
Liu Ruyan leaned on the chair and tapped a few times at the women lined up in a row.
Ji Yuan was not polite at all. He really stood up and checked the things in front of him one by one. After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded with satisfaction.
"You're really not careless at all."
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes gracefully, but although her tone was complaining, she was not surprised by this.
After all, the two parties have been dealing with each other for more than a year, and she, even a young Taoist priest, is very serious about money matters, and she is definitely a little money addict.
Sometimes Liu Ruyan couldn't help but mutter, didn't Taoists emphasize quietness and inaction, money is only an external possession, but my Tao is eternal?
"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. If something goes wrong, it's easy to lose our friendship."
Ji Yuan explained with a smile and sat back on the chair.
After he confirmed that it was correct, the women began to carefully put away the things in their hands one by one.
Finally, the two bundles, one large and one small, were placed safely on the table beside Ji Yuan.
"I said you don't mind the trouble, why don't you buy a Shanhe bag?"
Liu Ruyan gently waved the round fan in her hand and looked at it with a smile.
The so-called mountain and river bag is a kind of thing that some great monks have just refined with their superb weapon refining techniques, combined with formations and restraints. It is not a magic weapon but is better than a magic weapon.
A bag that is no more than the size of a palm contains a space. The smallest volume is about ten feet long and wide. Except for living things, almost anything can be stored in it.
Hearing this, the little Taoist priest smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That thing is too expensive. Even if it is the cheapest Shanhe bag from your Mingxinxuan, I will have to spend at least two or three years refining the elixir day and night.
, only then can we hope to afford it.”
And this still has to ensure that every batch of elixirs will be successful, and no elixir will be wasted. Only in this way can we accumulate enough money in addition to the cost.
But in this way, Ji Yuan's own practice will be delayed. In two or three years, it cannot be said that there is no progress, but it is basically the same.
No matter how you think about it, it is a big loss to exchange for something that is not used at this stage at such a price.
Furthermore, the white jade flying sword in his Zifu now has a small cave inside it. Its function is countless times more powerful than the mountain and river bag. There is no need to spend money to buy it at this time.
After all, for monks, careful calculation has become an instinct. Every copper in the body must be used to increase cultivation or settle down.
"Now that the money and goods have been cleared, I will go back first and come to shopkeeper Liu for tea next time."
Ji Yuan yawned. He had not rested all day and night, and had experienced several twists and turns. He was indeed very tired at this time.
Seeing that he looked haggard, Liu Ruyan did not try to persuade him to stay. He walked to the door of Mingyue Xuan in person and watched the little Taoist leave carrying two bags, one large and one small.
Ming Xinxuan's trip back and forth didn't take much time, only more than half an hour.
When Ji Yuan returned to the Taoist temple, the sunlight was blocked for most of the alley. From a distance, he saw that the door of his house had been opened, and he knew that it was his master and senior brother who had woken up.
He quickly crossed the gate and this time finally did not climb over the courtyard wall again.
But as soon as he walked into the Taoist temple and caught a glimpse of three men and two women, a total of five young people, in the main hall where the statues were enshrined, the little Taoist priest's expression suddenly changed.
He quickly counted in his sleeves and realized immediately that today happened to be the day that happens once every four years.
At that moment, Ji Yuan immediately stepped lightly and walked towards the side courtyard without looking back. However, as soon as he took two or three steps, a shout came from the main hall.
"Now that you're back, why are you so sneaky and why don't you come over quickly?"
He responded, turned around weakly, and reluctantly walked into the main hall of the Taoist temple.
It is said to be the main hall, but in fact it is just a larger room. There are eight Taoists with soft faces lined up on the left and right. In the middle, there is a statue of a man in a long gown whose true appearance cannot be seen clearly and carrying two long swords on his back.
Xuantian Temple is different from ordinary Taoist temples. What they enshrine is not the gods in legends, but the immortal figures of Yizhou Taoism. Each one of them is a being who can be called a land god, and the one in the middle is a Yizhou Taoist.
host.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Ji Yuan's eyes intentionally or unintentionally ignored several young people. Except for two young boys and girls who looked about the same age as him, the rest were all young people in their early twenties.
They were dressed in brocade clothes, carrying a simple long sword on their backs, and hanging from their waists was a pure white jade pendant engraved with the character Xuan.
After a little more searching, Ji Yuan secretly thought to himself that, sure enough, the identities and general whereabouts of these visitors had been confirmed.
"These are distinguished guests from the Jiuxuanmen of Feiyun County. Please hurry up and salute."
An old man with white hair and beard, who had an immortal spirit, smiled and said: "This is my young disciple Ji Yuan, and he is also the only disciple of Xuantian Guan's generation who has embarked on spiritual practice."
The little Taoist priest came to the old man's side, bowed to everyone, and then stepped back, lowering his head and remaining silent.
After thinking for a while, he silently placed the large and small bundles in his hands on the ground, and then moved them behind him with his feet.
"If you embark on the path of spiritual practice at such a young age, you can be called a genius no matter where you are."
The young man at the head smiled slightly and nodded towards Ji Yuan as he spoke.
As he opened his mouth, two boys and girls of the same age as the little Taoist priest also cast curious glances. The former's eyes were full of scrutiny, but the latter saw that he was very good-looking with delicate features and could not bear to look at him.
I took a few more glances.
"We will stay here for some time. The old Taoist priest can consider the matters mentioned before slowly and not in a hurry."
The young man cupped his fists and saluted, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he took his junior brothers and sisters to apologize and left.
Ji Yuan was a little confused by what he saw. According to the usual practice in previous years, after these people came, most of them would search the Taoist temple inside and out three or five times before temporarily leaving unwillingly.
"This man's name is Zhao Yuansong, he is the outer eldest brother of the Jiuxuan Sect generation. The boy and girl behind him are named Jiang He and Xu Qiqi."
The old man looked at the empty door and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Ji Yuan got himself a cup of cold tea, drank it in one gulp and muttered: "Jiu Xuan Sect has had good luck in recent years."
Zhao Yuansong was only in his early twenties, but his energy was already overflowing, and the light between his brows and soul was faintly visible. Unsurprisingly, he was standing at the pinnacle of the enlightenment realm, ready to advance to the next realm at any time, breaking through the confusion of the physical body with the light of his soul.
Obstacles, thus giving birth to mana.
As for the two boys and girls who looked the same age as him, they were in the early stage of enlightenment and the middle stage of enlightenment. If there were no accidents, at the same age, their achievements would definitely be higher than Zhao Yuansong.
"Old man, what is that man talking about?"
After a while, Ji Yuan retracted his emotions and turned to look at the old man beside him.
"Call Master!"
The old man glared at him angrily, and then opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Ji Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He took the big and small bags on the ground and walked to his hut. This chapter has been completed!
