After sitting quietly and digesting the last two Qiling Pills, Lu Bei took a deep breath and slowly stood up. He took a short walk to loosen up his stiff body and added some firewood.
There was a quilt spread in front of the altar. Lu Bei didn't see Bai Jin and got into bed consciously.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about. I thought that with my senior sister's realm and strength, she had long since gotten rid of such low-level interests as the quilt. On the contrary, he was weak, helpless and pitiful. Without the protection of the quilt, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not catch a cold tomorrow.
"Hey, it smells so good!"
…
The next morning, Lu Bei was awakened by a noisy sound. When he got up, he saw more than twenty strong men in the front yard. He was so scared that he quickly rolled up his bedding and ran to the backyard carrying the small box full of Mo Buxiu's things.
Bai Jin was in the backyard, with a layer of white gauze on his face, followed by a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman. Every time Bai Jin pointed, the middle-aged man would take out the account book and make a mark.
"Senior sister, what happened?"
"Junior Brother Lu, you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you to this person, Master Ding of the Emei Sect of the Four Jing Peaks..."
"Master Ding?"
"I am Ding Lei, Master Lu is here to greet you."
"???"
Sijing Peak and Sanqing Peak belong to the same system of Jiuzhu Mountain, the headquarters of Emei Sect, and can be regarded as the next-door neighbors of Yuhua Sect.
This Emei is not the same as the other Emei. It just sounds impressive in name, but its strength is the same as Yuhuamen, a small and insignificant group. Looking at Ding Lei's secular appearance, we can know that his real purpose is not to drink. He cultivates immortality in order to have a good body, so that he can make more money.
Last night, Bai Jin broke into the Emei Sect at night and had a friendly meeting with Sect Master Ding. They signed an order for the renovation and decoration of the Yuhua Sect.
Logically speaking, when they were sleeping soundly at night, the gate was broken by the uninvited female devil, and they were forced to sign a humiliating labor contract. Any male in the Emei Sect would not tolerate this, but...
She gave money.
It is true that the agreement was signed under duress, but it was also true that real money was involved. Ding Lei knew very well that even if the matter was brought to the Huangji Sect's Dashengguan headquarters, the officials might not respond, and the final result was that the two parties settled the matter privately.
Considering that Bai Jin was quick to pay and even quicker to draw his sword, Ding Lei swallowed his anger and rushed to Sanqing Peak at dawn the next day.
As for the other disciples, half of them were recruited to accompany him to give him courage, and the rest went to Langyu County to recruit workers.
When he met Lu Bei, Ding Lei was very polite, and there was a hint of sourness in his words, obviously treating him as a gigolo.
Contempt, but also envy, no contradiction.
Lu Bei felt uncomfortable under Ding Lei's sour look. After sorting out the general situation, he pulled Bai Jin's sleeve and came to the old tree: "Senior Sister Bai, why is it so sudden?"
"It's not too sudden. In cultivation, people, money, companions, methods and places are all indispensable. Since Uncle Mo entrusted you to me, I will definitely be responsible to the end."
Bai Jin frowned and said, "Junior Brother Lu, I visited several nearby mountains last night. Sanqing Peak, where Yuhua Sect is located, is the poorest and not a good choice for a dojo."
Last night, Bai Jin took a night tour of the nine peaks of Jiuzhu Mountain and discovered that Sanqing Peak was indeed named correctly. There were no people, no money, and no spiritual energy. Even the spiritual bamboo that was abundant in Jiuzhu Mountain could not be found on Sanqing Peak.
The poverty that can be seen at a glance, Sanqing Peak deserves its name.
Having no people and no money are both easy to solve. Having no spiritual energy is not a big deal. There are better ones next door. Everyone can sit down and talk, discussing martial arts and philosophy. It won’t take much time to get a result that satisfies both parties.
Hearing Bai Jin's hidden meaning, Lu Bei's eyes twitched, thinking that he was worthy of being a cultivator from the Sword Sect, his words were concise and to the point without any euphemism.
I like!
but…
"Sister, harmony is the most important thing. I have just taken over the position of the head and I have to deal with neighbors. How can I carry forward the Yuhua Sect and fulfill the wishes of my master?"
Lu Bei said earnestly, "Besides, Master is a very capable person. Since he chose Sanqing Peak, he must have his reasons. As a disciple, how can I go against his will?"
Bai Jin frowned slightly and was about to say something when Lu Bei interrupted him, "I know that I have you to take care of me, so I can offend the neighbors in Jiuzhu Mountain, but you can't take care of me forever, and you will have to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect sooner or later, right?"
Bai Jin nodded, agreeing with Lu Bei's statement, and no longer mentioned the idea of moving to another place.
"By the way, Senior Sister Bai, next time this happens..."
Lu Bei pointed at Ding Lei who was measuring the size and whispered, "Can you discuss this with me?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
“I’m still young and I want to work hard.”
"What?"
"Nothing, I was just talking nonsense again."
…
At noon, the disciples who were recruiting workers arrived and brought dozens of people up the mountain.
Bai Jin didn't mention the cost of rebuilding Yuhua Gate, and Lu Bei didn't ask either. It was the same whether he asked or not, because even if they sold it, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
Looking at the mountain gate which was becoming increasingly busy, Lu Bei was secretly happy about the people pointing and talking around him. He felt that he had the potential to be a gigolo, but at the same time he felt ashamed of his secret happiness.
Senior sister is so nice to him, he should respect her.
So, he decided to respect Bai Jin from the bottom of his heart and let the rumors about the pretty boy go in one ear and out the other without any thought of explaining.
He disdained any artificial explanation or superficial respect.
Bai Jin also heard some gossip, but she was calm and unmoved. She brought Lu Bei to a deep pool in the back mountain and started the first step of his cultivation.
Reading.
Three volumes of twelve Taoist classics were placed in front of Lu Bei. His task was to read them repeatedly until the spiritual energy in his body responded and completed the initial "awakening" stage.
The bad news is that the twelve classics stacked together are about half a meter high, which is daunting; the good news is that it’s not a catalog, they are all here.
It turns out that this is how NPCs "get wise". This is totally different from players!
To get the hang of it, players need to choose their main profession. An account can only make one choice, and once selected, it cannot be changed. Players who regret choosing the wrong profession can only delete their account and start over.
There are four main professions in the world of Jiuzhou, namely Taoism, magic, demon and Buddhism. Each profession has its own focus in the early stage and distinct characteristics in the later stage. Each profession has irreplaceable charm.
In the world of Kyushu, Taoism, demonism, and Buddhism are the orthodox ways of cultivation officially recognized by all countries. Demonism is a radical approach, and because most demon practitioners have such a bad reputation, they occupy 90% of the wanted lists in various countries and are not recognized as mainstream.
This is the case on the surface, but in private...
Let me put it this way, whether you are practicing Taoism or practicing demon cultivation, the paths of cultivation lead to the same destination, and the best way is to learn from the strengths of each. If you don't know how to practice demon cultivation, you should be embarrassed to say that you are practicing to become an immortal.
Similarly, as a demon cultivator, it is reasonable and logical for me to have a few relics to protect myself.
Among the four main professions, Taoism has the greatest compatibility, its purpose is to be broad-minded and tolerant, and its choice of skills is also the most feasible.
Demon cultivators are extremely passionate and instinctive, and they believe in destroying before building, and advancing without retreating, so they gather together with idiots and ruthless people, and produce all kinds of weird things.
Demon cultivation has the greatest restrictions, and only demons and humans with demon blood can cultivate. The essence is to refine the blood, tracing the innate from the acquired, similar to the evolution of the caterpillar into the Rayquaza, awakening the power hidden in the blood. Demon cultivators with powerful blood can awaken their innate magical powers and easily crush their peers.
Compared to these three glamorous creatures, Buddhist practitioners are much more traditional, reserved and stick to themselves, without engaging in fancy things.
In the early stage, the combat effectiveness of Buddhist practitioners is the lowest, but in the later stage, a strong Buddhist practitioner can be comprehensive, competing with Taoist practitioners in magic, fighting with demon practitioners, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with monster practitioners.
Of course, the above situations all happened before the players logged in. When the fourth disaster came, this group of fearless guys did their best to make trouble, causing the local NPC monks to exclaim that they had never seen anything like this in their lives, and it turned out that immortals could be cultivated in this way.
