At noon, vegetable and tofu soup, fried vegetables and white rice.
Although it is very simple, Chen Anyian has also joined the family of planing rice.
It doesn't even take five minutes for five people to eat.
After dinner,
Li Shaodian wiped his mouth and asked, "How was your study today?"
"Back to master, the three senior brothers taught me very well."
Chen Anyian answered obediently.
"No, I didn't teach you anything today."
Xia Longque said quickly.
"Senior brother didn't accompany me to fight, but he gave me something more important." Chen Anian said with a smile.
"I can't stand it." Xia Longque curled her lips and stood up, "It's not just for me. I got at most...two more pills."
"Don't forget to teach your junior brother how to fight tomorrow." Li Shaodian said to Xia Longque who was leaving.
"I know, I will definitely fight tomorrow." Xia Longque waved his hand.
After Chen Anian put away the dishes, he found that the master and three senior brothers were all in the room and could not come out.
Not wanting to be disturbed, I took the three porcelain bottles given by my third senior brother and went down Shouzhuo Peak alone.
The elixir my senior brother bought for me will be refunded if I can.
It is so difficult to defend Zhuo Peak. Apart from having enough food, there is no guarantee of anything else.
Let's change something and improve our life a little bit.
Chen Anyian thought so.
But when he arrived at the Outer Gate Pill Hall, Chen Anyian immediately became furious.
"What!?"
"Ten Qi and Blood Pills cost two low-grade spiritual stones when buying them; ten health-nourishing pills cost five low-grade spiritual stones; and three ice extract pills cost six low-grade spiritual stones."
"In the end, when I took it back and returned it, you only gave me six low-grade spiritual stones?"
"We haven't even arrived for three hours, so you've hacked more than half of it for me!?"
Chen Anian shouted to the Medicine Refining Peak disciples at the counter.
The Medicine Refining Peak disciple picked his ears and asked, "Have you just entered the outer gate?"
"Then what's going on?" Chen Anian's eyes were about to burst into flames. It was so difficult to defend Zhuozhuo Peak, but yet he was deducted spiritual stones from such a black-hearted medicine shop. Is there any way to survive?
"Why don't we make a little profit from refining elixirs at the Medicine Refining Peak? Are you going to make the elixirs for free?"
"There are still all kinds of miscellaneous consumption, don't spend money?"
"If you return it now, I can only recycle it at the cost price of the medicinal materials. Do you understand?"
The disciple of Refining Medicine Peak explained.
"I'll refund it to you, and you can continue to sell it to others. You won't lose anything."
Chen Anyian argued vigorously.
The surrounding outer disciples all looked over, but Chen Anian didn't care.
A piece of low-grade spiritual stone is five hundred taels of silver. How many clothes can it buy? How much delicious food can it buy?
The master now wears ripped clothes in his underwear, and the food he eats is worse than that of a handyman.
If you fight for one more spiritual stone, everyone will be able to eat and drink well for more than half a year.
"If everyone were like you, would we still be able to sell the elixirs at Medicine Refining Peak?"
The disciples of Refining Medicine Peak were impatient, "We are already much more conscientious than outside."
"you……"
Chen Anyian wanted to shout again, but someone held his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, my brother has just arrived and is not sensible. Leave it to me, leave it to me..."
"Who is your brother...!?" Chen Anyian turned his head and found that the person holding him was a chubby fat man.
A little shorter than me, but twice as tall as me and still plenty of room.
"If you want to get more spiritual stones, come with me."
The fat man said in Chen Anyian's ear.
When Chen Anian heard this, he glanced at the disciples of the Medicine Refining Peak and followed the fat man out of the medicine hall.
"Who are you?"
"Sure enough, he is new here. He doesn't even know me, Luo Youcai." The fat man let go of Chen Anyian.
"Luo Youcai?" A picture suddenly flashed through Chen Anyian's mind. During the handyman assessment, a person took the assessment with a colored book.
The book seller is an outer disciple named Luo.
Couldn't it be this guy?
"What's in your eyes?" Luo Youcai saw Chen Anyian's strange eyes and suddenly felt that he was in danger.
Chen Anyian has already made up his mind about Fatty Luo, who is shameless and greedy...
But he still took the elixir and asked,
"How many spiritual stones can you give these elixirs?"
Luo Youcai made a gesture: "Eight low-grade spiritual stones."
"Only two yuan more?" Chen Anyian curled his lips, "Have you fallen in love with money?"
"Only two yuan?" Luo Youcai said with his fingers, "Brother, a low-grade spiritual stone is worth five hundred taels of silver, and two yuan is one thousand taels."
"Do you think spiritual stones are cabbage?"
"When I take over these elixirs, it's impossible to sell them at the original price, and I have to bear risks. Eight low-grade spiritual stones are already a lot!"
Chen Anyian took out the miscellaneous medicinal materials and pills from the cloth bag and asked, "How much can you get from these?"
Luo Youcai flipped through it, "These are all inferior things, and together they are just one low-grade spiritual stone."
"Don't bully me, a newcomer, and deliberately lower the price." Chen Anyian put the bag away directly.
"You can call me fat, but you can't insult my professionalism." Luo Youcai patted his chest, "Go to the outer gate and ask around. There are six peaks and seventy-two mountains in the outer gate. I, Luo Youcai, have more credibility than gold.
real."
"Otherwise you think I can survive until now..."
Chen Anyian raised his hand to stop Luo Youcai from bragging: "Let's not talk nonsense. These pills, plus this pile of stuff, total ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones."
"If you can accept it, accept it. If you can't accept it, let's not talk nonsense."
Luo Youcai stared at Chen Anyian again and again, "You have some moral integrity."
"Okay, for ten low-grade spiritual stones, I will make you your friend."
After saying that, he took out ten low-grade spiritual stones from the bag on his waist.
Chen Anian did not exchange the silver notes and broken silver into spiritual stones. He kept these to buy some things and improve the conditions of Shouzhuo Peak.
"These elixirs were bought for you by your elders, right?" Luo Youcai asked after collecting the elixirs.
"Yeah." Chen Anyian nodded.
"Why don't you use it yourself? If you buy and refund, the loss will be huge." Luo Youcai said: "You just entered the outer gate, which is when you need to use these things."
"Elder, it's a bit difficult..." Chen Anian carefully put the spirit stone into the bag and stuffed it into his arms.
Luo Youcai seemed to have thought of something, "You...is your name Chen Anyian!?"
Chen Anyian said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Who doesn't know that you, a handyman who was tested for three-star level, finally chose Shouzhuo Peak, which no one has entered for five years?"
"Your boy is a big celebrity!"
Luo Youcai took a good look at Chen Anyian again, "If someone from Shouzhuofeng bought it for you, it would be really difficult."
"It's not enough for them to heal their own injuries. They can dig out spiritual stones and buy elixirs for you. That's really nothing to say to you."
Luo Youcai was filled with emotions.
"What do you mean? They treat injuries? What injuries are they treating?" Chen Anyian asked quickly.
"They probably didn't tell you." Luo Youcai found a random rock and sat down, "Of the six main peaks in the outer sect, why do you think only Shouzhuo Peak is so poor?"
"In fact, back then, Shouzhuo Peak was known as the strongest main peak in the sect. Even the Inner Sect's Tiandu Peak couldn't say it was a sure win."
"Back then, there were only six disciples of Shouzhuo Peak, and they were all top masters. The younger generation had almost no rivals. The peak master of Shouzhuo Peak, Li Shaodian, was the strongest among the elders. Many female elders in our sect are because of him..."
"Ahem, in short, Shouzhuofeng was very strong back then, so powerful that it was outrageous."
Luo Youcai said with great joy.
Chen Anyian was even more shocked when he heard this.
Are the master's three other senior brothers so strong?
It can be called number one in the entire Qingshan Sect!?
"Then why did it become like this?" Chen Anyian asked.
Luo Youcai shook his head helplessly, "This happened eight years ago, and no one knows the specific situation."
"The only thing I know from the rumors is that all of Shouzhuo Peak left the sect that year, and when they came back, the peak master was half-disabled, and only three of the six disciples were left."
"No one knows why."
"Since then, Shouzhuo Peak has been completely lonely. Until five years ago, no one has entered Shouzhuo Peak again."
"Your boy is the first person to choose to guard Zhuo Peak in the past five years."
Luo Youcai gave Chen Anyian a thumbs up.
"It depends on how long you can hold on..."
After saying that, Luo Youcai shook his head and left.
Chen Anyian was left standing there in deep thought.
…
When the sun is about to set,
Chen Anyian ran back carrying a large bag of things.
The master and three senior brothers were all sitting at the dinner table, waiting for him.
Seeing him come back, the four people stared at him without saying a word.
"Do you still know about coming back?" Xia Longque asked angrily.
"I heard that someone went to the elixir hall to withdraw the elixir, and he almost wanted to destroy the elixir hall."
Xia Longque looked unhappy.
These pills were dug out by them, and every pill was hard-earned.
I originally thought that if my junior brother chose to guard Zhuo Peak, it meant that he didn't dislike this place.
So I tightened my belt and didn't want to wrong my junior brother.
The result is not good, a hot face and a cold butt.
When people turn around, they will withdraw the elixir.
This is because he doesn’t look down on these elixirs at all, and he doesn’t look down on them.
Chen Anyian rubbed his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "It is true that those disciples from the Medicine Refining Peak are too evil-hearted."
"How much have you withdrawn?" Shen Chunqiu asked coldly.
"Ten... one piece. I want to exchange one piece of it for silver and buy some things to supplement my family income." Chen Anyian said with a smile.
"How much?" Li Shaodian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Eleven pieces." Chen Anyian took out ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones in his arms.
He took out the remaining pieces of silver from his sleeves, and then opened the cloth bag. Inside was a pile of food and four new clothes.
"Everything is here."
Chen Anian continued: "Although I lost two low-grade spiritual stones, I think I haven't entered the third realm of Qi and Blood yet, so I'm not in a hurry to use these pills."
"There are so many spiritual stones. If we use them sparingly, they can improve our lives for several years."
"Anyway, when I reach that point in my cultivation, maybe we will have money..."
The coldness in the eyes of the four masters and disciples quietly dissipated, and instead there was warmth surging.
But he was quickly taken over by anger.
This bastard, does he treat them like children?
Do you really think they don’t know the recycling price of the elixir?
Eleven pieces of low-grade spiritual stones? There is a difference of five pieces. Do you think we are fools, or do you think you are a fool?
"Have a meal."
Li Shaodian interrupted Chen Anyian's ramblings firmly.
Several other people quickly started cooking.
Chen Anian was dumbfounded, I haven't served it yet, why don't you just wait for me?
and……
"I bought lotus leaf roasted chicken, you... don't want to try it?"
Chen Anyian took out another lotus leaf bag from his arms and opened it slowly. The roast chicken inside was still steaming.
"Gudong."
The dinner table became dead silent again.
The four people all looked at the roast chicken in Chen Anian's hand.
"Why don't you get it quickly!?"
Xia Longque roared angrily.
Chen Anyian curled his lips and quickly put the lotus leaf roasted chicken on the table.
The five people continued to eat frantically, but no one competed with Chen Anyian for the two drumsticks of the roast chicken.
After dinner, the master, Li Shaodian, patted his belly before leaving as usual.
"Master, I'll give you the spirit stone and some clothes. You should try it too." Chen Anian said confusedly while chewing on the fragrant chicken drumsticks.
Li Shaodian did not accept the spirit stone, but chose among four pieces of clothing, and finally chose a navy blue robe. "Those elixirs are bought for you. Since you don't want the elixirs, just keep the spirit stones for yourself."
Shen Chunqiu quickly took away the plain white brocade clothes.
Xu Shouqiao smiled and put the gray shorts into his arms.
In the end, there was only one piece of azure flowing cloud clothes left, which was picked up by Xia Longque with a knife.
When Chen Anian was clearing away the dishes, he saw the master and three senior brothers trying on clothes under the light.
He looked left and right, making tut-tut sounds from time to time.
…
The night is slightly cool,
There was a gentle knock on Chen Anyian's door.
It's senior brother.
Chen Anyian put on his clothes and opened the door, "Senior Brother, is something wrong?"
"Let's go for a walk with senior brother." Xu Shouqiao said with a smile.
The two of them walked to Wangshan Pavilion, where Shen Chunqiu often stayed, and Xu Shouqiao said, "Thank you, junior brother, for today's clothes."
"Senior brother, you're welcome. Junior brother is just running errands. The master and the senior brothers are the ones who buy the elixirs for the spiritual stones."
Xu Shouqiao smiled and shook his head, and said nothing more about this matter: "Master smiled today, and senior brother is also very happy."
Chen Anyian was puzzled.
"Because we have a new junior brother here at Shouzhuo Peak." Xu Shouqiao said.
Chen Anian was confused when he heard that he was here yesterday, why did he start laughing today?
Is the reflex arc a bit too long?
"Senior Brother, I heard from others that our Shouzhuo Peak was very glorious before, but why now..." Chen Anyian still asked the doubts in his heart.
Xu Shouqiao patted Chen Anyian on the shoulder, "Senior brother also wants to talk to you tonight about the history of our Shouzhuo Peak."
"Forty years ago, the Qingshan Sect came here. Since then, Shouzhuofeng has been the number one in the outer sect of the Qingshan Sect!"
"The disciples who walked out of Shouzhuo Peak are all the pillars of the sect, and many of them have become elders of the sect."
"But eight years ago, the master discovered a treasure land and wanted to take it to the next level."
"So a big battle broke out, but unfortunately the opponent had a large number of people and held us back."
"In the end, three senior brothers stayed there forever. The master risked his life to protect the three youngest of us at the time and escaped back to Qingshan Sect..."
Xu Shouqiao sighed and looked at the bright moon in the sky with a lot of emotions.
At that time, he was only in his early twenties, and now he is already thirty.
"Eight years ago, were those senior brothers still very young?" Chen Anyian asked.
"Yes, eight years ago I was twenty-two, your second senior brother was nineteen, and your third senior brother was only thirteen."
Chen Anyian was shocked.
Twenty-two years old, nineteen years old, that's all, but going out to fight at the age of thirteen? It's still the kind of bloody battle of life and death.
Isn't this too exaggerated?
"Third Senior Brother was only thirteen years old at that time?"
At this time, Xu Shouqiao showed a rare expression of pride, "Yes, Longque was only thirteen years old at the time."
"Thirteen-year-old martial arts realm!"
"In the entire history of the Qingshan Sect, even when it was at its most glorious, there has never been such a genius!"
"Martial formation!?" Chen Anian looked at Xu Shouqiao.
Xu Shouqiao explained: "The martial formation realm is the third stage among the three realms of enlightenment."
"There are three realms of awakening. The first heaven is the Kaiyuan realm, the second heaven is the Tongmai realm, and the third heaven is the Martial Formation realm."
Chen Anyian is really convinced.
No wonder Third Senior Brother is so stinky, he is so strong.
Xu Shouqiao then let out a long sigh, "It's a pity that after that battle, we were all seriously injured, and our roots were damaged."
"I'm barely at the Gang Jin level now. Your second senior brother is about the same. Your third junior brother is a little better, but he's still at Gang Jin level."
"And as time goes by, once we cannot control the injuries in our body, our strength will only become weaker and weaker."
"So a large part of the reason why Shouzhuo Peak is in such a state of decline is that we have almost exhausted all our resources in order to heal our wounds."
Chen Anian finally understood why Shouzhuofeng, which was so glorious back then, fell to this overnight.
"Elder brother, what exactly did you discover back then?"
Chen Anyian asked.
"A... spiritual stone mine!"
"Gudong."
Chen Anian swallowed hard and looked at Xu Shouqiao as if he had seen a ghost.
After a long silence, Chen Anyian finally recovered from the shock.
I'll be nice.
Feelings, you have discovered a spiritual stone mine that is even more exaggerated than a gold mine.
It's so fierce.
Just from these three words, Chen Anyian could feel the strength of Shouzhuofeng back then.
With the strength of seven people, they want to occupy a spiritual stone mine.
How much do you have to stop treating others as human beings to do this?
Even the current Qingshan Sect does not have a spirit stone mine.
Is this kind of strategic resource a joke?
Crazy!
A bunch of lunatics!
Even Xia Longque, who was thirteen years old at the time, went to the battle carrying a knife.
Chen Anyian couldn't even imagine the scene at that time.
"Elder brother, are your injuries healed now?"
Chen Anyian suddenly thought of something.
"This kind of injury that hurts the origin will basically never heal." Xu Shouxiao said with a smile, "But don't worry, the three of us can still hold on until you grow up."
"We have a tradition at Shouzhuofeng. Senior brothers always stand in front of junior brothers."
Chen Anyian thought for a moment and asked an obscure question:
"Senior Brother, if there is a pill that can heal wounds without any side effects, it can even heal hidden wounds in the body."
"Do you think anyone will buy it?"
Xu Shouqiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If there is such a pill, the supply will definitely exceed the demand, and everyone will rush to buy it."
"Elixirs must be toxic, but the higher the grade of the elixir, the less toxic it is."
"But even the best elixirs will have toxicity deposited in the body. The more elixirs you take, the greater the toxicity, and you will develop drug resistance, and the effect will be worse..."
Chen Anyian's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to earn spiritual stones.
