Chapter 39: When we are practicing, we just want to stay together and stay warm After entering the east wing, Luo Chen realized why the reverse room he lived in only cost the cheapest ten spiritual stones a month. Although the area is not that wide, the layout is very reasonable. The windows everywhere are at the best lighting spots. And at night, it’s not that cold here. Compared with the warm and comfortable east wing, my back-to-back room is like a warehouse plus an ice cellar. Luo Chen felt sorry for himself and sat down in front of the dinner table happily. Feng Xia glanced at him and put a bowl of spiritual rice over. “Thank you, Sister Xia!” Feng Xia said, "No need to thank me, it's Xiu Xiu's treat."
It was okay that she didn't speak, but when she spoke, there was a sound like sandpaper rubbing against each other. Luo Chen frowned and asked cautiously: "Sister Xia, what's your throat?" "It's always been like this. When Sister Xia was testing medicine for Baicaotang in the early years, she accidentally ingested a poisonous weed. Although she was treated, her throat could only recover to this point." Bai Meiling sat down next to her, her tone a little low. Luo Chen then understood the reason. I can only say that jobs in big companies are not easy to do! Baicaotang is still just one of the Yaowang Sect’s properties, but the jobs there are also very dangerous. The job of a drug tester like Feng Xia is very rewarding, but also very dangerous. Common herbs often have unique variations due to their growing environment and the presence of monsters and beasts. At this time, it is good that conventional methods can detect the difference. If you can't detect it, you can only use the monk's body to test it yourself. Feng Xia does this job. The past two years have been better. Baicaotang in Dahefang has hired new drug testers, and she has begun to switch to the deep processing of some medicinal materials. “What are you talking about? The atmosphere is so depressing?” Fu Xiuxiu came over with a plate of steaming meat slices. "Have a taste. This is the elbow meat of the Camel Scale Beast. I brought it back from Shenfu Pavilion for you to try." Bai Meiling told her what she had just talked about, and Fu Xiuxiu couldn't help but sigh. “Our casual cultivators are like this. We are either living in danger in the outer city, or we are driven by others in the inner city. All jobs with slightly higher pay will come at a huge price.” After saying these words, the faces of Bai Meiling and Feng Xia became sad.
On the other hand, Luo Chen was a little heartless. Let others drive you? That requires the ability to be driven by others. Not much else to say, in places like Lingyao Pavilion and Wanbao Tower, the people responsible for receiving guests are all young and beautiful female monks. They, male cultivators, want to be called around and shouted at, but they haven’t even had the chance yet. “So, we must help each other and stay together.” Fu Xiuxiu picked up the jug and poured it for everyone. Bai Meiling wanted to do it by herself, but she held her hand down. "Being able to live here means that we are destined. If you have any difficulties in life or practice in the future, you can help me." “Xiao Luo, you may have just moved here, but with Senior Sun as your check, your character and character will naturally be fine.” “From now on, we can be considered a family.” After speaking, she raised her glass. Bai Meiling and Feng Xia also raised their glasses at the same time. Luo Chen, on the other hand, was very surprised. When you travel through time and come to this world, what you see every day is the chaotic killings in the outer city, and the monks in the market who compete for every penny for cultivation resources. To be honest, it’s a bit cruel. But I have to say that this is very consistent with his understanding of the painting style of the world of immortality. But in this small courtyard house, there is actually such a warm side. What is this, the version of Qingmansiheyuan in the world of immortality? He didn’t do anything to offend the scenery, and he raised his glass. "cheers!" "cheers!" The drink is clear and transparent in the mouth, smooth and non-irritating, with a light fruity aroma. Fu Xiuxiu smiled slightly, "Eat it, don't hold it." Bai Meiling was the first to move her chopsticks. After a piece of fried monster meat entered her mouth, she smiled so much that her eyebrows curved into a crescent shape. “Sister Xiuxiu’s food is the best!” “Hey, if it’s delicious, eat more. Xiao Luo, don’t hold yourself back, just eat freely. There’s enough rice in the pot.” "Uh-huh!" Some softness in Luo Chen's heart seemed to be touched.
His eyelids were drooped, and he could not help but move faster when planning rice. Upon seeing this, Fu Xiuxiu gave him a piece of meat. "It's a pity that the Qin family has all gone to Luoyun Sect. When we come back, I'm afraid Xiaohu will not be seen for a long time." “That’s right, Xiaohu’s child has both gold and water spiritual roots. He is only twelve years old and has a clean family background. The great sect likes such disciples the most,” Bai Meiling said. After living here these days, Luo Chen also got to know the family in the west wing. Qin Liangchen and Duanmu Qinglian are both at the ninth level of Qi refining. Their son Xiaohu, named Qin Yuanjiang, was born intelligent and intelligent, and was carefully cared for by Qin Liangchen and his wife since he was a child. Various medicinal baths and elixirs are arranged every month. At the age of eight, Xiaohu detected the spiritual roots of gold and water. I originally wanted to sign up for the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, but I have to wait ten years for the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect to open its doors to more disciples next time. Reluctantly, in order not to delay the best time for cultivation, Qin Liangchen and his wife took him to the Luoyun Sect in the Jade Cauldron Domain to sign up. It was also a large sect, and the Supreme Elder Han Zhan in the sect had the appearance of a Nascent Soul. It can be said that this is a sect with a bright future. In order to have a sense of participation, Luo Chen interjected. “Sister Caiyi is not here either. She quite likes to enjoy delicious food.” However, after saying this, Fu Xiuxiu frowned visibly. But he quickly restrained himself and shook his head. “Gu Caiyi’s schedule is different from ours, so we rarely meet each other.” Luo Chen blinked, nodded, and said nothing more. Things between women are the most troublesome. After finishing the meal, Fu Xiuxiu took out some fruits and pastries and held a tea party in the courtyard under the moonlight. Everyone spoke freely and talked a lot. For example, how is the business of the shops of the six major sects in the inner city recently, and how miserably are the shops of other small sects in the Yuding Domain in Fangshi being suppressed. At the joint auction held last year, I heard that the monk who obtained the treasure had been hunted for a year. He recently returned to Dahefang and was arguing with the host, Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion. He said that people from Yudingjiange disclosed his information to the outside world, putting him in danger. Of course the people from the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion didn’t recognize it, so they brought out the signboard of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, making the quarrelsome monks retreat in shame and anger. On the other hand, the fact that Fu Xiuxiu became the steward of Shenfu Pavilion and was expected to join the outer sect of Shenfu Sect was also brought up. Once successful, Fu Xiuxiu will no longer be a casual cultivator without roots and roots. Even if you don’t make a living in Dahefang in the future, you can get a better foothold elsewhere.
This matter made everyone else in the courtyard envious. Everyone wants to join a large sect. As long as you enter, the benefits are great. Not much else to say, expatriate disciples can return to the sect every ten years and enjoy a second-level spiritual practice place for free for one year, which is the most anticipated benefit. The tea party didn’t last long. At the beginning of the month, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. After all, Bai Meiling and the others have to go to work tomorrow. “Put it here, put it here.” “Everyone, drink some water!” “Manager Liu, I’m sorry to trouble you. Here are five spiritual stones. Please count them.” Hahaha, both men laughed. What is the purpose of five spiritual stones? It is clear at a glance. After putting the spirit stones away and chatting with Luo Chen for a few words, Manager Liu left the courtyard with a few monks who were in the early stage of Qi refining. Luo Chen looked at the pile of bricks and stones high on the hill and nodded with satisfaction. The cloud sand bricks for the walls, the high-quality Xibai stone that can be used for heat insulation, and a pile of highly viscous sulfur soil are added, and you can finally start building your own alchemy room. Without hesitation, Luo Chen rolled up his sleeves and started moving bricks into his house. By noon, he had already begun to lay white stones on the open space separated by the back room. Fu Xiuxiu woke up in the morning, took out a lot of potted plants from the house, and put them in a place where they could get sunlight. Prune the branches from time to time, and occasionally add a few packets of spiritual fertilizer. She also saw Luo Chen who was busy. After saying hello, she did not disturb Luo Chen. Until noon, Luo Chen looked at the alchemy room that was beginning to take shape and felt quite accomplished. “I am also an alchemist with an independent workshop!” Seeing the satisfied and proud Luo Chen, Fu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, you will definitely become an alchemy master famous in the six realms in the future!" Luo Chen chuckled, "Of course, I am a genius in alchemy!" “Do you want to eat together for lunch? There are a few dishes left from yesterday.” “This is not good, then the little brother will be disrespectful!” The lunch meal was eaten between the two of them. Fu Xiuxiu is a very gentle woman, and she is also knowledgeable. She can often easily give answers to Luo Chen’s doubts about spiritual practice. This is a feeling Luo Chen has never had with Chen Laodao, Wang Yuan, or even Gu Caiyi.
In Fu Xiuxiu’s words, she also passed through the foundation building stage. But without the assistance of the Foundation Establishment Pill, a casual cultivator like her would only fail. Since then, she has never had any serious thoughts about foundation building. Even if you practice daily, it is just a habit that has been passed down for many years. “I feel a little embarrassed after eating two meals from Sister Xiuxiu. Let me wash the dishes and chopsticks!” Fu Xiuxiu put aside Luo Chen's hand and said, "How can a man do these things? Let me do it!" Luo Chen was picking his teeth and stood at the door of the kitchen, watching Fu Xiuxiu wearing an apron and washing dishes in front of the pool. My eyes filled with tears for a moment. In his previous life, as a mixed-race man born and raised in Sichuan and Chongqing, how could he enjoy such treatment? The only girlfriend I have ever dated, her catchphrase is "Labour and Capital Shu Daoshan". “Sister Xiuxiu, do you usually live over there at Shenfu Pavilion?” “Well, there is a room for the stewards there, with a small spirit gathering array, which is suitable for our practice.” "I see that many of your flowers and plants are sun-loving. It would not be good to just apply spiritual fertilizer and hide them in the house." Luo Chen made a suggestion, "Why don't you just put it outside and I'll take care of it for you." He is definitely not coveting one of the pots of moongrass, which has the magical effect of calming the mind and calming the soul. Placing the bowls and chopsticks on the shelf, Fu Xiuxiu thought for a while and then nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you.” Thanks to the brothers below for the rewards, Brando 00’s 10,000 starting coins, Lady Meishu’s 500 starting coins, Remember to drink hot water 100 starting coins, Wei Lian and Chen Xi 1,000 starting coins, and the fake uncle who plays the sword is 500 starting coins. A new week has begun, good morning everyone
