The sun was rising, completely breaking through the slightly dark sky and shining on the square.
There was no rooster crowing, nor any other reminders, but at dawn, the people stationed at the Golden Immortal Gate still came out of their residences.
The Qi Refiners wanted to take advantage of the rising sun to come out and refine Qi, while the mortals who were taken in came out half excited and half worried.
However, today was different from the past. They were not in a hurry to meditate, because Zhang Feixuan was standing in the center of the square, waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Second Brother, what are you doing..."
The person who asked the question was a tall and strong disciple who was one of the five people who went down the mountain yesterday. His spirit and energy were a little worse than yesterday.
After all, he had suffered a disaster last night and entered a fantasy for no reason. Moreover, the fantasy he entered was about beating and killing his eldest senior brother. He was afraid that his eldest senior brother would be unhappy and come to kill him, so he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
Zhang Feixuan glanced at him, then looked at the mortals who were gradually gathering around him, and said with a bit of jealousy: "You are blessed today."
Without waiting for the tall and strong disciple to answer, he turned to look at the main hall. At the entrance of the main hall, Song Yin was standing there with his eyes closed, reflecting the half-body sculpture in the hall.
Song Yin opened his eyes, glanced at the people gathered in the square, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you can get up on time without being reminded by others. At least you deserve praise in this regard. Second Junior Brother, let them line up first."
"Yes, brother."
Zhang Feixuan walked to the front of the square, turned around and said to them: "Disciples of our sect are on the right, mortals go to the left, let's line up first."
Just like yesterday, everyone separated into left and right groups and lined up.
The fellow disciples were a little confused and didn't understand why they had to queue up at the Qi Refining Pass. The ordinary people, on the other hand, looked worried and were whispering to each other, appearing to be a little chaotic.
"quiet!"
Following Song Yin's shout, both teams were shocked and stood up straight involuntarily.
He took out two small bags and said, "Master has entrusted all matters of the sect to me. Previously, the food was simple and there were no available resources outside the mountain gate, so I won't mention it. However, I have found a solution, which is this pill..."
He looked at Zhang Feixuan and smiled gently: "With the help of Second Junior Brother, I refined these two bags of pills last night. They are all top-grade pills. This bag of vitality pills is yours. It can not only replenish what people need, but also speed up the circulation of qi."
Then he took another bag and said to those mortals: "This is wild vegetable pill, which can also supplement people's needs, but it does not have the effect of accelerating the flow of qi. It is just right for you to eat it."
When he finished refining two furnaces, it was already dawn, so he simply did not sleep and pulled Zhang Feixuan to wait for people together.
Top-grade pill?!
As soon as he finished speaking, his disciples immediately caused a commotion.
Although these people are also disciples of the Golden Immortal Sect, most of them are at the first or second level. They usually collect herbs for their master and have to solve their own food problems. As for making elixirs, they don’t even have an elixir furnace and don’t know much about the elixir method, so how can they make elixirs
Now a senior brother has come down from nowhere and said he will give them top-grade pills...
No matter what type of high-quality pill it is, it's like a dream.
"quiet!"
Song Yin called out again and said to everyone, "Come up and get the pills now."
But after he finished speaking, the mortals did not dare to move, and the disciples just looked at each other, and no one stepped forward.
"Huh? Why don't you come up and get the pills?" Song Yin frowned.
"Brother..."
At this time, a disciple boldly said: "We didn't hand in any materials, this..."
When Zhao Yuanhua distributed pills in the past, it was because they brought mortals up the mountain, so he gave them a few herbal pills as a reward, and they were not of very good quality.
Occasionally getting a low-grade pill is already a good pill, but a high-grade pill would require so many materials.
Song Yin thought about it, then showed a hint of realization: "Oh, don't worry, we'll talk about it later, get the pills first. You..."
He looked at the group of mortals and said to the leader, "Take this bag and distribute it. There are thirty pills in this bag, which is enough for you to eat for the day. I guarantee you won't go hungry."
In fact, there were a total of thirty-two wild vegetable pills, but in order to test the effect, Song Yin and Zhang Feixuan each ate one. After confirming that it could indeed fill the stomach and replenish human needs, they felt relieved.
"Yes! Great Immortal!"
The leading mortal stepped forward excitedly, carefully took the bag of pills with a bow, then ran to the team and distributed two pills to each person.
When the pill was taken out, it attracted the attention of all the disciples.
There is no other reason, the medicinal fragrance is very strong, and judging from the color, it is indeed a good pill.
One of the mortals took the pill and swallowed it impatiently. After a moment, he let out a soothing cry.
His face, which had been pale due to long-term malnutrition, now looked a little rosy.
At this moment, he was full and seemed to have absorbed some nutrients, and the effect was very quick.
"Good, good stuff! I feel like my mind is a lot clearer now." He said excitedly.
The others followed suit and swallowed the pills, instantly feeling much more energetic.
After swallowing the pill, the only young man among the mortals stuck out his tongue in disbelief, jumped a few times, and opened his eyes wide, "I, I don't feel any pain anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
He took a step forward, ran wildly for a distance in the square, stretched out his hands and punched and kicked randomly, then he grimaced and coughed a few times while covering his mouth.
"It's relieved, it doesn't hurt so much anymore..." The boy's eyes showed ecstasy.
Song Yin said with a smile: "If you have an illness, I dare not say that I can cure it completely, but I can guarantee that you will feel much less sick. Take it every day, and you will be cured one day."
The roots and rhizomes of wild vegetables certainly have medicinal properties. What is extracted in the elixir is the essence of them. By amplifying the smallest amount of these properties, a healing effect can naturally be achieved.
The young man was happy for a while, but soon his eyes dimmed.
He walked up to Song Yin, swallowed hard, and suddenly knelt on both knees, with his hands raised in front of him, as if waiting for Song Yin to give him something...
The rest of the mortals also knelt down like the young man, lowered their heads, and their faces gradually became numb.
Song Yin saw this scene and was puzzled. "What are you doing?"
"Great, great immortal..."
The young man trembled and said, "Please give me a token..."
Song Yin looked at Zhang Feixuan, "Junior brother?"
"Brother, you should give them tokens of loyalty and let them worship them. This is what we 'righteous' should do." Zhang Feixuan laughed and emphasized the word 'righteous'.
"What token?"
Song Yin frowned and said, "What other tokens do we have in the Golden Immortal Sect? Hunyuan Tianzun?"
"That's what we monks offer. Oh, it's the same as the Qinglian..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Zhang Feixuan suddenly shut up, his eyes moved rapidly, and said: "It means giving a token and signing a contract with the mortals, which means that we have begun to protect these mortals."
"oh... "
Song Yin nodded thoughtfully and looked at the young man: "There is no token, and there is no need for that kind of thing. Get up."
"No, no token?"
The young man was in disbelief and almost cried: "Great Immortal, I know we don't have the talent to practice Taoism, but we sincerely offer our worship to you."
"Great Immortal, we really offer our worship sincerely!"
The mortals behind were almost crying and all of them fell to the ground with their heads down.
"Didn't I tell you that there is no need for offerings? What the hell are you doing? Get up!"
Song Yin raised his brows, white gas was stirred up around his body, and he shouted loudly. The white gas spread out from his body, creating a circle of air waves, which shook the mortals and made them stand up straight subconsciously.
Song Yin glanced at them and said, "I, Song Yin, keep my word. I will protect you if I say so. Besides, we have already signed an agreement yesterday. Don't you trust me, Song Yin?"
The mortals did not answer, but just lowered their heads.
Song Yin sighed helplessly and looked at Zhang Feixuan: "Junior brother, take out those tools from yesterday."
Zhang Feixuan followed Song Yin's instructions and took out the rags, mops and brooms piled in the hall and placed them on the square.
Song Yin continued, "The sect will protect you, and you will work for the sect. This is the contract we signed yesterday. It is mutually beneficial. Why kneel down? If you insist on having a token..."
He pointed at the tools and said, "This is the token. From today on, you will be responsible for cleaning the Golden Immortal Gate. Do you understand? Now, take the tools and start sweeping from the side hall!"
"Yes, yes... Daxian."
The young man spoke hesitantly and picked up a broom nervously. Following his action, other mortals followed suit and picked up tools. A group of people looked back every three steps and turned around every five steps and moved slowly towards the side hall.
Song Yin shook his head: "We have clearly set the rules, why are you begging for a token? Junior brother, when we met people like this before, would we give them a token?"
"We really don't have that tradition." Zhang Feixuan said.
Giving a token is the right thing to do. When they encounter mortals, they will lure them to the mountain and hand them over to the master or Zhao Yuanhua, and then they have nothing to do with it.
Just like the Qinglian Sect, every household worships the Qinglian Yuanmu...
However, Song Yin said that this was an evil way, so he dared not say anything more.
Seeing Song Yin's frown deepen, Zhang Feixuan was afraid that he would find something wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, this elixir is precious after all. For a mortal, it is a great blessing to be able to guarantee that you are free from disease and harm. Asking for a token of love can also give you peace of mind."
"It seems that mortals have too deep a misunderstanding of our cultivation sects. You see, Master didn't say that we need to give any tokens. Even the Hunyuan Tianzun, who you said is the existence that our Dan Sect needs to worship, there is only one person worshipping him. Master didn't even offer him anything."
Song Yin said, "Besides, when Master accepted me as a disciple, I only knelt once, to show the proper relationship between master and disciple. Later, Master passed on the true Dharma to me after testing my Qi training level, and he did not let me kneel. This shows that we in the Golden Immortal Sect do not practice this."
He smiled and said, "Master's intention is the direction we should move in."
"Yes, yes, senior brother is absolutely right." Zhang Feixuan said dryly.
He was a little confused.
Just kneeling, that's the least valuable...
If just kneeling down can keep you full every day and keep you healthy, then what's the harm in kneeling down
