No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 31 Goodbye Gift
With a personality like that of Taoist Baili, it is natural that Taoist Lan is not the only friend he has.

Yan Kaiyan would naturally not just invite Lan Dao Ren.

There are still three days until the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Therefore, during the two days that Xu Shun and his two companions stayed in Baili Cave Mansion, they could see fellow Taoists from Bailisong arriving at Songxi Mountain in advance one after another.

What about "Nanshan Taoist", "Zhulangke" and "Pingshan Savage"? Those people either rode on flying boats or on exotic beasts.
Xu Shun didn't know any of them, but Lan Dao Ren knew a few of them and spent the whole day drinking and having fun with them.

He even sang on the cloud when he was drunk.

The singing was really like the howling of ghosts and wolves. I had no idea what the hell it was.

But there was one person among these people that Xu Shun knew.

Grand Ceremony of the Qingwei Sect.

There's no way, Tigger left such a deep impression.

Dali came to attend Yan Kaiyan with his master Ye Jian. They arrived at Songxi Mountain on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

After paying respects to Taoist Baili, Dali and his master stayed at Songxi Mountain. The reason they came early was because they were afraid that tomorrow, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, would be busy, so they came early to help.

As for if someone caused trouble on the day of the banquet?

impossible!

Those who are truly part of the team will arrive early on their own initiative to avoid any trouble.

Yan Kaiyan was the most important thing in Taoist Bailisong’s life. The four “inexplicable” people arranged it in an orderly manner, and Xu Shun could not help much.

When Xu Shun had nothing to do, he went to look for Dali.

He had already asked Mo from the west, and he learned that feeding the cranes was very troublesome.

First of all, the cranes have noble character. The cultivator needs to reach the Dragon and Tiger realm before he can tame the wild cranes and then influence them with their character.

Otherwise, you have to refine elixirs and feed the cranes from a young age to cultivate their feelings.

With Xu Shun's current level of cultivation, if he encountered a wild crane, he would probably be pecked to death by the crane in two bites.

OMG, it's original sin!
"In Songxi Mountain, the master is the boss, the wolf boss is the second, the cranes are the third, and we...ah!" Xibian Mo said as if he had a story.

"We four brothers have the lowest status!"

"That's not a crane, that's clearly a father!" Xibian Mo continued to complain about the crane, and finally came to the conclusion: "Crane, dogs don't even raise it!"

It’s very similar to the status of a middle-aged man at home.

Children, wife, cats and dogs, and finally yourself.

So Xu Shun found the great gift beside a ravine.

He saw Dali holding something like green silk, dipping it in blue and white liquid, and smearing it all over the body of the ferocious Tigger.

"Brother Dali!"

When the blue-white liquid was rubbed on Tigger's body, foam-like substance came up, and Dali took an iron brush and started brushing its hair.

Then Dali picked up a yellow talisman and used his magic power to turn it into a stream of water. Wherever Dali pointed, the water would rush there.

After washing, Tigger's hair became shinier.

The whole process is just like washing a car.

"Well... I don't dare to take on the title of senior brother!" Dali said a little embarrassedly: "My master and Taoist Baili are of the same generation..."

His master's master is of the same generation as Baili Taoist, and Baili Taoist is of the same generation as Lan Taoist.

So, Xu Shun is a generation older than him.

"Hey~ How can a cultivator like me be so pedantic? If I say you are a senior brother, then you are a senior brother!" Xu Shun said indifferently.

He would not put on airs because of his seniority.

That would be stupid.

Hearing Xu Shun being so polite, Dali felt even more embarrassed. He said, "This...this...it's better not to let my master hear it." "Otherwise..."

They in the Qingwei Sect still care a lot about seniority.

"Let's talk about our own things!" Xu Shun continued, "We are cultivating immortality, not cultivating seniority!"

"Ha~" Dali also laughed when he heard it. He thought Xu Shun was very interesting.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Dali is doing?" Xu Shun asked in a friendly manner.

It is more appropriate to call you fellow Taoist.

Dali was more pleasing to Xu Shun, and pointed at Tigger and said, "Daoyou, you know that our Qingwei Sect uses corpse manipulation as a way to protect the Dao. This zombie is strong and its blood is coagulated. It needs to be maintained with elixirs regularly in order to fully exert its power."

"Huh? Pills?" Xu Shun looked at the bucket of blue and white stuff next to the gift and said, "Is this the pill?"

"Yes! This is the moisturizing pill from our Qingwei Sect!" Dali said incessantly, "It takes 749 kinds of spiritual herbs and 21 hours for a master in the Dragon and Tiger Realm to refine it."

"Purely natural, green and pollution-free, it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making your skin smoother than a baby's. Buy now..."

"Ahem... Sorry, I just said it casually." Dali was talking and suddenly realized that this was not the place where he went to sell pills in the mortal world.

"Your Qingwei Sect has a wide range of business!" Xu Shun looked at the blue and white potion with a slightly teasing look.

This is just a skin care product!
"Experience the worldly life, which is also a part of spiritual practice!" Dali said seriously and sanctimoniously.

"Brother Dao, please speak human language."

"Alas, those uncles in the mountains are either buying and selling corpses or refining pills all day long." Dali sighed and said, "When we disciples go out, we can only rely on our own abilities."

"..."

"Those uncles praised it as training." Dali continued, "We disciples went down the mountain without any magic tools or gold or silver."

"Just give us some low-grade moisturizing pills and let us figure out how to sell them."

"We are cultivators, not elixirs!" Dali seemed to be resentful: "Forget zombies, there are no Yin corpses!"

"Want the best zombies? Go dig them yourself!"

"They are all in every corner of the Immortal Cultivation World!"

Xu Shun listened very calmly, for he was already a qualified monk.

He has become accustomed to all kinds of things in the world of immortal cultivation that he cannot understand.

The few words Xu Shun learned about the Qinghua Sect from Taoist Lan felt very abstract.

Now that he heard Dali complaining about his own sect, Xu Shun felt that the Qinghua Sect was still pretty good.

At least he didn't ask his disciples to sell pills.

Is it reasonable to let monks sell pills?
Sure enough, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

"That's not quite right!" Xu Shun commented.

"There's nothing we can do. We can't beat those old guys!" Dali wiped Tigger with a yellow scarf.

"I heard that zombies are the gathering of evil energy from heaven and earth, and they remain incorruptible even after death. Why do they need to be maintained?" Xu Shun said as he looked at Tigger who was brushed.

This looks like such a hassle.

Just like driving in a previous life.

Everyone wants to drive, but not everyone wants to wash their car.

(Really talking about cars!)
"Brother Zicai, who told you that?" Dali asked in astonishment, "Under the Great Dao, is there anything that can remain incorruptible and exist forever?"

"Even if you are an immortal, one day you will perish along with the heaven and earth!"

Except for the Tao, nothing is permanent.

　Can I have some monthly tickets?
