Chongming Xianzong
Chapter 245: Taking Spiritual Dew Again
Chapter 245: Taking Spiritual Dew Again
"Junior Brother Yuan, this year's gift lists from each family in Pingrong County are all here." After Ye Zhengwen experienced a major change last time, not only did his gloomy temperament fade a lot, but even his one eye finally had some spirit, no longer as indifferent as before.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ye," Yuan Jin took it solemnly and checked it.
Now, as the only major foundation-building sect in Pingrong County, Chongming Sect, even though the Immortal Dynasty is powerful, cannot recruit vassals for exploitation like other foundation-building forces.
However, the various Qi-cultivating forces in Pingrong County should be sensible. In addition to paying due taxes to the provincial court, they should also know that they cannot do without paying tribute to Emperor Chongming every year.
Under such circumstances, how much and what are sent are not the most important things. After all, even if these small sects send things over, Chongming Sect may not appreciate them, and may not remember them even if they receive them.
But if there is a family that is not even willing to do this little superficial effort, Chong Mingzong will definitely not forget him.
Yuan Jin read half of it. He didn't have the sharpness of the Kang Da Sect Leader, so he could only ask as he flipped through the pages: "Brother, have you seen this gift list? Is there any difference from last year?"
"Hemu Dao has not yet handed it in. The fellow cultivators' association has reduced its price by 30% compared to last year. The other families have slightly increased or decreased. The total price is still not much different, about 750 spirit stones."
Ye Zhengwen had done his homework before coming, so he didn't have to think too much when answering.
Yuan Jin just nodded. After checking and hearing these two changes, he didn't say much. He just told Ye Zhengwen again:
"Please ask Senior Brother Ye to accompany Senior Brother Pei to sort out these items and decide which ones should be put into the warehouse and which ones should be sold by the caravan. After Anle returns to the sect, the two senior brothers will make the arrangements."
Ye Zhengwen nodded and asked, "Junior Brother Jiang wants to entertain four foundation-building seniors. I wonder if he needs to use the public treasury to pay for the spirit stones."
Yuan Jin shook his head and sighed half relieved and half helplessly: "The third brother said that he has his own spiritual stones and we don't need to worry about it. Then let him do it. Anyway, the things in his storage bag have not been sold out. By the way,"
In the middle of the conversation, Yuan Jin remembered something and asked with a strange expression, "Junior brother, I heard that among the gang of bandits that Senior Brother recruited, there was a female cultivator named Shao Meng. Recently, she beat up the widow Ma who was selling spiritual grains?"
Ye Zhengwen also had a strange expression after hearing this, and asked back: "Junior brother just came out of retreat, and is acting as the head of the sect, and is very busy, how come you have heard such idle talk?"
"Brother Ye, you are always well-informed. Tell us quickly, tell us quickly." Yuan Jin could not hide his curiosity. Ye Zhengwen laughed dryly and then slowly said, "I heard that it was the widow Ma who made up a story that she slept with Lao Kang."
Yuan Jin looked surprised: "She is shameless, but what does this have to do with Shao Meng?"
"She was afraid that no one would believe it, so she included Shao Meng and many other good-looking female cultivators in the plot." Ye Zhengwen shook his head as he spoke. With these three people making a tiger, the reputation of Sect Leader Kang as a "bullying womanizer" became even more solid.
Yuan Jin couldn't help laughing at first, then he put on a serious face and said sternly:
"What a bunch of bastards! I'll write a letter to Deng Baichuan right now, asking him to drive the widow Ma out of the market immediately. And as for Shao Meng, I'll send a letter to Shi Lun, asking him to tell him that if this female cultivator doesn't behave herself again, the sect will stop her and her brother's alchemist from recuperating.
It costs nearly 200 spirit stones a year, why are you so restless after getting the benefits and making trouble all the time?"
Ye Zhengwen nodded in agreement, but before he could leave, he saw Zhou Yixiu walk in with a not-so-good look on his face.
"What happened?" Yuan Jin asked.
"Nothing. I went to the Shan family to borrow some books from the farming masters. I wanted to find some prescriptions from them to see if I could try to grow the glass tree." Zhou Yixiu's words were filled with dejection, and he looked distraught.
"Well," Yuan Jin could see what he was thinking. Although he couldn't stand his useless look, he didn't say anything. He said, "Junior Brother Zhou, have you seen the manor that the second master of the Ming family mentioned that was rented to the Qingzhu Gang?"
"I went to see it last time. The Green Bamboo Gang was tormented by the Cultivator's Association, and the deacons of their family were quite easy to talk to. They just said that if the Cultivator's Association didn't care, we could take back the farm at any time."
"Send a letter to the fellow practitioners' association, telling them that although Mr. Shan and Brother Qin no longer care about them, my family still remembers the relationship and has always been quite respectful to them. Tell their family not to be rude." Yuan Jin frowned and made the arrangements.
Putting this matter aside, Yuan Jinfu said, "Big Brother is still in Heling Mountain seeking the Dharma. Please prepare a New Year gift for Senior Lang Yi. Don't be too lenient, or he will blame us for not knowing etiquette."
"No, no, I'm glad you're back. Otherwise, I would have lost another fortune." The restrictions in the meeting hall could not stop Master Kang. As soon as he entered the room and heard Yuan Jin's words, he shouted anxiously.
"Senior Brother?!" The three people in the hall were all surprised. It was agreed to be five years, so how come he came back after only two years?
"Yeah, I'm back." Master Kang had a tired look on his face. He had rushed back thousands of miles, and even with the help of a flying boat, it was extremely tiring. So it was normal for him to behave like this.
"Brother, how about seeking the Dharma?" Zhou Yixiu, who had just been listless, became much more excited and asked.
Yuan Jin gave up his seat, and Sect Leader Kang fell back onto the hard white jade chair. He didn't feel comfortable at all, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "I have gained something."
The three of them knew Kang Dabao's cautious personality. Even if he had to say something, he would only say seven out of ten, and always keep the other three in his hands.
After hearing what Master Kang said, the three of them felt relieved. Yuan Jin's mood, which had been ruined by Zhou Yixiu, finally recovered. He laughed and said, "In that case, congratulations to Senior Brother in advance."
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is the third brother? Where is Junior Brother Pei?" Kang Dabao looked around and asked.
"Senior Brother Pei is in seclusion refining pills. Right now, the pills and magical instruments in the Chongming Building are all in great demand. I just came out of seclusion as well. It seems that the third brother has invited a few foundation-building seniors to the sect. I guess he has gone out to greet them?" Yuan Jin guessed.
"Well, good business is a good thing, but you should not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains and delay your cultivation." Kang Dabao reminded him habitually, but he was a little surprised by Jiang Qing's action.
Because the latter has never been a good friend. But now Jiang Qing has many things to do that involve building the foundation. Although Kang Dazhang is his senior brother, he really has to stand lower, and there are many things that he may not be able to explain clearly.
So he could only mutter: "Senior Foundation Building?"
------
Master Kang did not talk with his fellow disciples for too long. He did not even have time to ask about the major and minor matters of the sect, nor did he have time to eat his lunch or sleep with the young widow. Instead, he went into his own master's room and devoted himself to practicing, which was uncharacteristic of him.
Kang Dabao replaced all the spirit stones for the Yunfang formation, and pasted a few first-level formation talismans. He carefully checked them several times, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he carefully took out the black-glazed gourd from his waist.
The usually calm and steady head of the Kang family couldn't help but feel like a withered seedling waiting for rain.
The black-glazed gourd was still as plain as before, with a black glaze and a red base, a silver-plated stopper and a copper-colored mouth. No matter how you look at it, it is not beautiful, and it even has a hint of rusticity.
After all, when Kang Dabao took it away from the mortal tavern, he didn't realize it was a treasure.
Master Kang had a feeling that the grade of the Hunyuan Gourd in his hand must be much higher than that of the Black Bone and Jade Jue.
After all, even in this broken gourd, there are two wisps of green smoke that can save your life.
Each round can also produce a bowl of spiritual dew. The reason why Kang Dabao has been able to practice so smoothly over the years is really due to the spiritual dew that can cleanse the bones and marrow.
As early as when Master Kang was in Laosong Cave Mansion in Heling Mountain, this new round of time had already passed.
This Hunyuan Gourd is of great importance, and Kang Dabao does not want to take that one in ten thousand risk.
After all, the six senses of a cultivator like Lang Yi who is about to die of old age are very sensitive. If he discovers any clues, Master Kang may have to waste another precious green smoke of creation.
Even if they obtained Lang Yi's relics by then, it would be of no use and would be far from enough to compensate Kang Dabao's losses.
Master Kang, who was used to being cautious, endured it until he returned to his own nest before he gently unscrewed the stopper of the silver-plated gourd.
In the master's room, one could hear a pin drop. A large animal oil candle lit up with a dim light, swaying gently in the quiet room, casting a shadow on the ancient, mottled wall.
A fairy spirit merged with the low-level spiritual fragrance in the cloud room and spread out. The shadow on the wall seemed to tremble slightly at the same time.
The stopper was completely opened, and the aura of immortal spirits increased instantly. Sect Leader Kang's mind became extremely clear, and he felt that the aura and fragrance in the room had been washed away to a level that was almost negligible.
Master Kang put down the cork and stared at the clear spiritual dew in the gourd with sharp eyes. His fingers trembled slightly and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
Twelve years is neither long nor short. Kang Dabao has been waiting for this day for more than four thousand days and nights.
The cloud room was extremely quiet. Master Kang could clearly hear his own increasingly heavy breathing. His strong heartbeat sounded like a galloping horse, warm and exciting.
"Just drink it! I wonder what level of talent I can be improved to this time? Three spiritual roots, two spiritual roots, or maybe..."
Kang Dabao raised the gourd and drank it all in one gulp. The cool and clear spiritual dew slid down his throat into his stomach. Then countless immortal spirits seeped into the pores of his body. The pores opened and the turbid air came out. His whole body seemed to be shining with spiritual light and an endless sense of holiness.
After regulating his breathing for ten days, Master Kang finally opened his eyes. He felt that his eyes were as clear as the moon and his whole body was as light as a cloud.
Kang Dabao recalled the scene of the spiritual dew running through his body, and sighed in a tone that was hard to tell whether it was happy or sad: "Alas, I didn't expect this time, but this is the result."
