Chapter 140 Rejection The flying boat arrived at Tianyin Sect and stopped at the floating platform. Everyone greeted each other, gathered in groups of three or four, and then dispersed. Wei Wenxin waited for Taoist Qingying, said goodbye, told him where he was going, and then led Lingcang down the spiral staircase and walked towards the gate of Tianyin Sect. The Wanjian Sect was built in the mountains with magnificent buildings, but the Tianyin Sect was built in a large swamp with exceptionally beautiful scenery. The lake is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, which is not conducive to the maintenance of musical instruments, so the disciples of Tianyin Sect live on floating islands. This floating platform is located in the northeast of this large swamp. The weather is fine today. When I got off the floating platform, I saw patches of soft silk grass everywhere I looked. People who come to Tianyin Sect for the first time always sigh that it turns out that wind also has a shape. Yue Jinxiu lived with her parents. Their floating island was very large, and Yue Jinxiu, the only jewel in their palm, occupied a large area on the island. Yue Jinxiu received the news from the patrolling disciples and was surprised to know that Wei Wenxin had arrived! How long have you been apart? Why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong? Thinking of the Most Beautiful Cave Competition, he guessed that she was probably here to join in the fun, so he immediately sat on Nanli's back and went out to greet her.
After getting off the floating island and walking on the grass waves towards the sect entrance, halfway there he saw Wei Wenxin leading the Bai Ze, stepping on auspicious clouds and poking his head into the lake. Next to the snow-white spirit beast stood a female cultivator in a red dress. The soft and green silk grass kept licking the soles of their feet, which could be seen from a long distance away. "What are you two doing?" Seeing her coming, Wei Wenxin smiled: "I've been here so many times, but I never took a close look. I didn't expect there were fish in the lake! I want to catch a few to eat, but I don't know who owns the lake, so I'm still hesitant. By the way, this Bai Ze's name is Ling Cang." There are countless lakes of all sizes in this vast swamp, like scattered pearls. Wei Wenxin knows that each one has an owner, so he doesn't dare to catch any fish in them. Yue Jinxiu glanced at Ling Cang, nodded slightly, and ignored it. But he rolled his eyes fiercely at Wei Wenxin: "How rare! There are fish in the lake!" Wei Wenxin laughed when he realized he had made a slip of the tongue: "I meant, I didn't expect there would be such fish in the lake!" This is a wind-attributed spiritual fish called Jinghong. Eating it can make one's body lighter. The last time Wei Wenxin heard someone describe the beauty of its meat, it took at least half an hour. "It's just a few fish, just grab them casually. Besides, this is my aunt's lake." Yue Jinxiu didn't care at all. For the disciples of Tianyin Sect, the most common food is various spiritual fish. For the younger disciples of Wanjian Sect who have not yet practiced fasting, the most they eat are pheasants and various spiritual beasts with thin skin and tender meat. For the younger disciples of Tianyin Sect who have not yet practiced fasting, they eat fish every two or three days. She had long been tired of eating anything that was produced in abundance in the territory of Tianyin Sect. This is the principle of "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water." Upon hearing this, Wei Wenxin immediately squatted by the water. The thin electric net fell along the water surface, and soon several big fish with their eyes rolled back were caught by her. Ling Cang had been standing next to her. Seeing this, he quietly stretched out his hairy claws, wanting to learn how to catch fish from her. However, he found that he did not have a lightning spirit, so it was surprisingly difficult for him to use lightning spells!
Ling Cang put away his claws as if nothing had happened and pretended that nothing had happened. But Nanli flicked his tail, and his long light blue hair grew longer. He suddenly dived into the water, and soon he caught a fish and handed it to it calmly. Obviously he saw everything that happened just now. Ling Cang felt as if he had accidentally eaten a ball of fur and felt so sick that he wanted to vomit! Then the long hair on its neck automatically parted, revealing a beautiful colorful necklace. One of the blue beads flashed slightly, and the fish was caught by it. "Thank you for your gift, Nanli." After putting away the fish, it raised its chin calmly, took out a basket of fruits from another storage ring, controlled it with its spiritual sense, and placed it in front of Nanli in a domineering manner. "This is the fruit from the sweetest tree in our house. I give it to you to eat." Nanli’s entire spirit beast is in danger! Such a magnificent necklace! It wants it too!! The Tianyin Sect vigorously develops the tourism industry. To facilitate tourists, the sect protection formation is usually closed. Wei Wenxin came here often and knew the way, so she didn't need Yue Jinxiu to pick her up, but she came every time. Because many years ago, Wei Wenxin came here and was entangled by a playboy in the clan. The two had a disagreement and Wei Wenxin almost beat the other person to death. The matter became a big deal, and Wei Wenxin was afraid that it would be difficult for her, so she gritted her teeth and paid a large sum of spirit stones on the spot. Yue Jinxiu rushed over, found out what was going on, immediately snatched the spirit stone back, and beat him up again! From then on, Yue Jinxiu would come to pick her up whenever she was at home. The two men caught the fish and flew into the sky with the spirit beast. Yue Jinxiu couldn't help but complain: "Others go out to gain experience, either to improve their skills or to gain experience, but you have a good appetite." Wei Wenxin didn't care: "If you have eaten the whole fish banquet prepared by Taoist Jiuding, and felt how much happiness food can bring us, you will also fall in love with eating." Yue Jinxiu was very upset when talking about this. "Because of my fight with that idiot Li Manman, I actually missed such a great opportunity. You'd better not mention this matter again! I won't continue to act on impulse like this!" "That won't work. If you endure the dizziness and chest pain for a while, you will have more demons in your heart. Don't let yourself be wronged. In the future, no matter where there is a good banquet, if I get invited, I will definitely take you with me." Yue Jinxiu was amused by her. We arrived at the destination while chatting and laughing. "My parents are not at home. They went to my third uncle's place." Generally speaking, when the Tianyin Sect holds a competition for the most beautiful cave, those floating islands that have already won the championship are excluded from the competition by default. Their floating island has already won first place, and the floating island with the greatest hope of winning a prize this year belongs to her third uncle, and the whole family attaches great importance to it. That is, the immortal cultivator. You can go without eating, drinking or working, and play for fun all day long. Since she was not at home, she did not go to pay her a visit and followed Yue Jinxiu directly to her yard. "Take out the fish and tell the cook to cook whatever you want." In order to reduce the occurrence of bullying, the Wanjian Sect has an iron rule that prohibits the keeping of slaves. Although it is allowed to recruit outer disciples to do menial work, the number of disciples is limited according to their cultivation level, and monthly wages must be paid on time.
The disciples of Tianyin Sect are different. Using captives as slaves to mine, signing indentures and bringing independent cultivators home to work for you are all basic operations. There are also those with dirty intentions who recruit a large number of registered disciples and take advantage of their labor for free. Most of the slaves in Yue Jinxiu's family are from side branches of the family with poor talents. Their personal freedom is not deprived, and they still have to pay a monthly salary. Wei Wenxin had nothing to worry about, so she just took the fish out. The two entered the house. Yue Jinxiu took two bowls of dried meat and asked Nan Li to entertain Bai Ze, then took Wei Wenxin into the inner room. Wei Wenxin was still worried that the two would fight, but she didn't expect that Nanli didn't hold a grudge against Lingcang because of the previous wing. Lingcang also waited for them to leave and then apologized for what happened before. Then the two animals lay down at the gate, watching the clouds rolling in the sky, chewing dried meat and chatting. Seeing that she was finally relieved, Yue Jinxiu asked her why she came: "Didn't you say you would come back on my birthday?" Her birthday is in March, so there’s still half a year to go! Wei Wenxin excitedly took out the manuscript. "I came to you to write a book together. Senior Sister Qingying has agreed to publish it for me. If it doesn't sell, she will cover the cost for me. I don't need to bear all the expenses." Yue Jinxiu was born in a large family, so she knew exactly what was going on. The uncle-master is willing to pamper her because of the affection between them. What does it have to do with her interfering? So she was determined not to co-author the book with her. "If you have any questions, just ask me. When the book is published, write a preface and thank me." "Well, tell me, how can we use the least amount of spiritual stones to decorate the most interesting courtyard? You know the poor decoration, right? The young monks always like it." Yue Jinxiu: “???” After staring at each other for a long time, he asked her, "Where did you hear that I'm good at pretending to be poor?" "Aren't these all common? In short, it's all about how to reduce costs." Yue Jinxiu scratched her head: "This is indeed a problem. You put it aside for now, and I will think about it." After receiving the reply, Wei Wenxin immediately picked up his pen and wrote Chapter 5: Cleaning Tips. Are you still worried about the oil stains on your skirt that can’t be washed off? Are you still upset about greasy and sticky hair after a breakout? Are you still feeling sorry for having to throw away a set of clothes after having a knife attack? …… Come, let me teach you how to remove stubborn stains. Seeing that she was writing enthusiastically, Yue Jinxiu came over to take a look and was very surprised: "You also know this?!" Wei Wenxin has been spoiled since she was a child. Even though her master was 200 years old, he still often thought of making new clothes for her. When has she ever lacked clothes to wear? My mother taught me to make friends with excellent people and work hard to become excellent. She said, "Follow flies to find toilets, follow bees to find flowers. If you don't know what level you are, just look at the kind of people you keep in touch with for a long time." It's really true. As a long-term unemployed vagrant, I am probably the fly in the circle of friends. Oh, it's obviously a very sad thing, but I want to laugh when I say this.
