I couldn't afford the bride price, so I had to marry the Demon Sect Saintess

Chapter 1 Dowry gifts are needed in the world of cultivating immortals?

Yunling Town.

Marriage Court.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why did you leave Zhenyang City? It is a big city under the gate of Zhenyang Zongshan, and the cultivation resources are far beyond our small town."

Qin Gengyun sat upright, a little apprehensive, and replied to the blind date sitting across the table:
"Li Daoyou doesn't know that although Zhenyang City is a big city with more resources and opportunities, it also means that the rent and daily expenses are more expensive. It's better to go back to Yunling Town and stay away from the hustle and bustle so that you can practice with peace of mind."

"Why should Fellow Daoist Qin hide it? Isn't it because you can't get along in the big city, so you can only go back to the small town?"

The female monk chuckled, ignored Qin Gengyun's embarrassment, and asked:

"I heard that you work in the alchemy workshop in the town, how many spirit stones can you earn?"

Qin Gengyun quickly replied: "There can be three spirit stones in one month."

The female monk's eyes flashed, and she smiled like a flower:

"Qin Daoyou's appearance and character are acceptable, I'm barely satisfied, let's talk about the betrothal gift."

"Beauty gift?" Qin Gengyun was taken aback. Do you need a bride price to marry a wife in the world of cultivating immortals?
The female monk on the opposite side stretched out three pale fingers: "Three hundred spirit stones, a spirit pulse fairy house, only my name can be written on the deed."

"What?!" Qin Gengyun's eyes widened instantly.

He can only earn three spirit stones a month. In order to get rid of the erysipelas in his body all these years, his savings have been exhausted. Where can he get three hundred spirit stones?

As for the Lingmai Immortal Mansion, the cheapest one costs thousands of spirit stones, which is not something that a low-level casual cultivator can imagine.

Why is the betrothal gift in this world of cultivating immortals even more outrageous than the world before crossing over!
Qin Gengyun couldn't help but asked the female monk: "Li Daoyou, may I ask how much your monthly income is?"

The female monk replied: "I work as a maid in Rouge Pavilion, and I can get two spirit stones a month."

Qin Gengyun was surprised: "Li Daoyou, you only get two spirit stones a month, why do you want such a high betrothal gift?"

The female monk gave him a disdainful look: "Based on my beauty, I can't even look down on a male monk who earns ten spirit stones a month. I just see that you are honest and trustworthy. I didn't expect you to even take such a dowry." If you don’t come out, you can go.”

Qin Gengyun stopped talking, got up and walked out of the room, and the matchmaker Wang who was waiting outside stepped forward and asked:
"Qin Daoyou, how did the talk go?"

Qin Gengyun shook his head helplessly: "She doesn't like me."

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, go this way, there is still something suitable for you."

Matchmaker Wang smiled and led Qin Gengyun to another room.

The Marriage Pavilion is the largest matchmaking workshop for monks in Yunling Town. It is exclusively for those monks who have stagnated in their cultivation and want to find another way to attack the foundation by the method of dual cultivation to meet their Taoist couples here.

A monk needs a lot of resources to support every step forward, but almost all the cultivation resources are in the hands of the big sect, and they are only used by talented and background inner disciples.

If ordinary casual cultivators only rely on hard work, not to mention longevity, even building a foundation is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Therefore, dual cultivation has become the last chance for many ordinary casual cultivators.

If both cultivations can be accomplished, it will be a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

If the dual cultivation fails, then the Dao heart will be cut off, and they will be an ordinary couple, living for the rest of their lives.

For ordinary casual cultivators, dual cultivation is a shortcut to seeking Tao and longevity.

But for Qin Gengyun, double cultivation is his only hope of survival.

Qin Gengyun traveled over two years ago. This body with the same name is the same as his previous life, with ordinary talent and ordinary background. In this world of cultivating immortals, he is just an ordinary casual cultivator.

When Qin Gengyun crossed over, this body was already 33 years old, he had practiced for almost 20 years, and his cultivation was only at the second level of Qi training.

What's even more tragic is that, in order to survive, the original body has been doing erysipelas for alchemists all these years, completely ruining his body.

The so-called erysipelas is the toxic dregs left after alchemy. The duty of the erysipelas medicine attendant is to clean up these toxic dregs.

However, long-term exposure to erysipelas has polluted the spiritual field in his body, and he has lost both energy and blood, making it impossible to improve his cultivation.

Even, if the erysipelas in his body cannot be completely eliminated, he will not live to be 40 years old.

Qin Gengyun, who took over this body, had no choice but to inherit this tragic fate.

He inquired around and finally learned that if he wanted to clear the erysipelas in his body, he needed to take "Bing Xin Hui Chun Pill".

But that is a fourth-grade panacea, which is worth a hundred times more than the life of an ordinary casual cultivator!
Moreover, this level of panacea is only in the hands of the big sect, and no sect will waste such a precious pill in order to save a casual cultivator.

Coincidentally, Qin Gengyun worked in a chemical factory before crossing, because of long-term exposure to poisonous chemical waste, his health failed at the age of 40.

Chemical workers and erysipelas drug attendants have the same tragedy.

In order to fight for a glimmer of life, Qin Gengyun came to Zhenyang City under the gate of Zhenyang Zongshan. There are more opportunities in the big city, and it is easier to earn spirit stones. If one day is lucky, there may be a chance to buy life-saving elixir.

However, there are too many monks in Zhenyang City, and the competition is fierce. Not to mention earning spirit stones, it takes all your strength to survive.

If things go on like this, even if the erysipelas does not attack, Qin Gengyun feels that he will not live to be 40 years old.

He had no choice but to leave Zhenyang City and move to Yunling Town, where the pressure of survival was not so great.

However, the spiritual stones earned in Yunling Town were not enough for Qin Gengyun to purchase the "Bingxin Rejuvenation Pill" before the age of 40.

There is only one way to survive - to refine the Bingxin Rejuvenation Pill by yourself.

Qin Gengyun has been in the alchemy room for many years and has some understanding of alchemy. However, an alchemist also needs cultivation to support him. He only has the second level of Qi training, and he can't even make ordinary first-grade pills.

Therefore, to be an alchemist, one must first improve one's cultivation.

But his spiritual field has been polluted by erysipelas, and his normal path of cultivation has been blocked.

All the means of survival are blocked, leaving only the last narrow path: double cultivation.

"Qin Daoyou, this is Zhang Daoyou, you two have a good chat."

Walking into another room, Matchmaker Wang said a few words and went out. Qin Gengyun sat down, facing a young female cultivator with a charming temperament and a gentle smile:
"Qin Daoyou, Matchmaker Wang has already told me about your situation. If you have anything you want to know, feel free to ask me."

Qin Gengyun chatted with Zhang Daoyou for a while, both of them felt that it was quite suitable, and soon they talked about getting married, the female monk said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, since you and I hit it off so well, I would also like to marry you. You just need to give some modest gifts."

Is it a dowry again?
Qin Gengyun quickly asked: "Zhang Daoyou, how much dowry do you want?"

The female monk smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I come from Qishan Town outside the Feiyun Sect. According to the customs of my hometown, when a female cultivator gets married, her husband's family needs to give five hundred spirit stones, plus a Lingmai fairy mansion, but I know it's not easy for you." , the Lingmai Immortal Mansion is unnecessary, just a two-story building with a courtyard."

Qin Gengyun was dumbfounded: "Zhang Daoyou, this gift is really too ethereal, can you be more realistic?"

The gentle smile on Zhang Daoyou's face disappeared: "Qin Daoyou, when I marry you, I will serve you, and I will give you children in the future. You will benefit from it, and I will suffer from it. If you cannot build a foundation in the future, you and I People and people, I have to ask for some guarantees, right?"

Qin Gengyun smiled wryly and said: "Zhang Daoyou, you and I are not married yet, but you are thinking of reconciling? Besides, we got married more to study the method of double cultivation, not for you to serve me. Why are you at a disadvantage?"

"Yes, if the two of us can cultivate together in the future, then I will help you cultivate, and this little gift is nothing!"

The female monk is more confident.

"Zhang Daoyou, double cultivation is beneficial to both parties, why are you the only one helping me practice?"

Qin Gengyun defended.

"Hehe." The female monk gently stroked her hair on her forehead, her face brightened:

"Since I am a double cultivator, if I get the Dao in the future and become a fairy class, and you marry a fairy with five hundred spirit stones, wouldn't you make a lot of money?"

"." Qin Gengyun had no way to refute, so he stood up and handed over:

"Zhang Daoyou, let me go home and think about it."

After leaving the room, Matchmaker Wang greeted her immediately: "How is it?"

Qin Gengyun smiled wryly: "Although these two fellow Taoists are as beautiful as flowers and jade, their hearts are higher than the sky, and the betrothal gift is even higher. I'm afraid I won't be able to climb to the top."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, don't worry, the marriage of thousands of miles is linked by a thread, and the good fate is in the Marriage Pavilion. I will show you to meet other female cultivators."

Next, Matchmaker Wang took Qin Gengyun to see several female cultivators. Some of them looked down on Qin Gengyun, while others fell in love with him, but without exception they all asked for expensive gifts.

Qin Gengyun couldn't get it out at all.

In the end, Matchmaker Wang felt a little helpless, and said to Qin Gengyun:

"Qin Daoyou, it's only natural for women to ask for a betrothal gift. They just want an attitude from their future husband. If you can't even afford a betrothal gift, how can people see your sincerity?"

Qin Gengyun was speechless.

He suddenly remembered his previous life, when his parents urged him to marry, he often went on blind dates.

I have been with several girls for a while, and when it comes to discussing marriage, the other party will always offer sky-high betrothal gifts.

The rhetoric was exactly the same as that of the two nuns just now:

I just want a guarantee and an attitude from you.

My monthly salary is three thousand, but a man with a monthly salary of tens of thousands is not good enough for me.

How can you let me see your sincerity even if you can't even get this dowry gift?

However, if I can easily come up with a sky-high price gift, why bother to come on a blind date?

Qin Gengyun walked out of the Marriage Pavilion silently. It was rainy outside at some point, and there were only a few pedestrians on the bustling streets on weekdays.

He held up his umbrella and walked in the icy winter rain, shivering uncontrollably.

At the second level of Qi training, he can still feel the bone-chilling cold.

It's just that his heart is colder.

When he first traveled to this world of cultivating immortals, Qin Gengyun was also full of pride and wanted to change his fate against the sky and climb to the top.

However, just like before he crossed over, he was full of enthusiasm when he was on campus, and less than a year after entering the society, his dream was shattered by reality.

The meaning of life is only to survive.

Traveling to the world of cultivating immortals, the reality is even crueler.

He practiced desperately and climbed hard. In the end, a little bride price blocked his last way of life.

In this world, there are many casual cultivators who are struggling to survive like him. They are still in the early stage of Qi refining at the age of 40 or [-]. They are lucky to earn three or four spirit stones every month.

Establishing a foundation is simply out of reach, and longevity is even more illusory.

Qin Gengyun once met an inner sect disciple of the Zhenyang Sect from afar in Zhenyang City. He built the foundation and repaired it.

It can only be said that some people have been working hard for foundation establishment all their lives, and some people have already established foundations since they were born.

And ordinary people like him, no matter in the previous life or in the world of cultivating immortals, it is equally difficult.

It is difficult to cultivate an immortal, it is difficult to marry a wife, and it is difficult to survive!
Disaster!Disaster!Disaster! !
