Chapter 51: Time
So, Zhu Kuang and Chi Xin, who were drinking and chatting happily in Xianke Tower, soon received two communication talismans asking them to return to Xianyou Sect.
"This kid has a new idea every now and then.
Daoist friend, do you want to go together?" True Lord Chixin didn't want to see any more accidents happen, so he hurried to find someone.
True Lord Zhu Kuang was on a mission to inspect the sect, so he toasted him and asked him to escort him.
The Nascent Soul's light brought Shen Suiren and the others back to the sect in a blink of an eye, but she did not agree to let Ji Yu go to her residence because it was a baby boy and the place was full of female cultivators.
She accompanied him and the other two in the guest room at Yingke Peak and talked, "It's nice here. It's bigger than all the rooms in my yard combined."
"Xianyou Sect won't even give you a cave? Why don't you come back to Xuanjian Sect with us?
Let me tell you, the sect leader gave me a peak specifically…” After Ji Yu mastered the telepathic transmission of his spiritual consciousness, he kept talking non-stop every day.
And no matter who he told it to, he could share it with Nie Chengzhang's consciousness, so that he often had to interrupt it: "Ji Yu, get to the point, what do you want us to see?"
Ji Yu tilted his head and looked at a corner: "Hmm...Xiao Chengzi, set up the formation.
True Lord Chixin, please stop peeking, it's not good."
Nie Chengzhang's face flushed with anger, and he rubbed its head fiercely: "Stinky boy!"
Shen Suiren thought of a possibility and laughed: "Xiao Chengzi, hahahaha, you took Ji Yu to listen to mortal storytelling or to see the imperial palace."
"There's someone in the palace..." Ji Yu's voice transmission was forcefully intercepted by Nie Chengzhang, who simply sent it into the spirit beast ring. "Huh, it's finally quiet."
As soon as he finished sighing, the roar of the Earth Qilin, demanding to be released, started to ring in his mind.
"Set up the formation, set up the formation." Shen Suiren saw him rubbing his forehead and quickly stopped laughing.
A set of array plates that can block the Nascent Soul's consciousness was set up and activated with the cooperation of the two.
After the buzzing light array accumulated, the Qilin beast flew out from the spirit beast ring, still biting the accompanying Hunyuan Earth Mother Cauldron.
After putting it on the ground, "Keep your eyes open and watch carefully."
The small tripod grew to more than a person's height under its muttered secret incantation before stopping, "Follow me."
Ji Yu didn't wait for them to turn around and take a look at the entire statue of the cauldron. He grabbed one person with one claw and pulled them into the space inside the Hunyuan Cauldron...
The moment Shen Suiren's nose was filled with the rich fruity aroma, he felt a little regretful. "Ji Yu, so you brought rations!"
"Hehe, pick whatever you want at the beginning of the year, you can take one of each." Ji Yu danced generously.
Nie Chengzhang shook his head, confirming that everything he saw was real. This place was a complete replica of the secret valley where Ji Yu was born.
Spiritual herbs, spiritual fields, spiritual fruits, and spiritual springs are all full, creating a scene of bountiful harvest.
He used his body skills to run around and looked around, even seeing rivers and hot springs.
"Sui Chu, you've suffered a great loss." Nie Chengzhang would never ask you if you regretted it. You could tell from her expression that the answer was yes.
So he immediately changed the focus: "I'm quite curious. Our first meeting wasn't a pleasant one. Why did you choose me to grab the tripod?"
"Sword cultivators have upright hearts and do things openly." She was just looking for the tallest one among the short ones. Any cultivator who could subdue the acquired spiritual treasure Lihuo Sword in the future would be killed by the sword first because of his unrighteous heart.
Nie Chengzhang paused for a moment, then felt that he should give a complete explanation: "That day at the Alliance Teahouse, the sword whetstone that Master gave me was tricked away by Yunchuan.
I only hate myself for falling for a trick, and being held back by Senior Brother Fei so I couldn't break up, and then you blocked my way when I was leaving. Right..."
Shen Suiren raised his hand to stop him: "There's no need to apologize twice for a small matter.
Find an opportunity to defeat Yunchuan later, and you'll vent your anger."
"You don't seem to like Yunchuan either." Nie Chengzhang was very happy. He would support whoever hated Yunchuan.
"I don't like it." Shen Suiren admitted frankly, and heard Ji Yu shout: "Come quickly, here are the ginseng fruits."
"Where is it?" The space was too vast for her spiritual sense to cover completely, so she ran over quickly. She had originally thought she would see baby-faced fruits growing on the trees, but unexpectedly, she saw only radishes hanging on the branches.
Alas, not everyone is as lucky as Monkey King to eat ginseng fruit.
"Next, it's sweet." Ji Yu picked it and threw it to the two of them, "Eat it, it's better than the longevity fruit."
"The level is high, and it will explode before the foundation is established." Shen Suiren patted the storage bag to take out the jade box. As expected, the storage tools can be opened here without hindrance.
She turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Nie, you have to compensate me. Give me your share."
"Here." Nie Chengzhang handed it over happily. Although the things here were Ji Yu's rations, it was a generous person and would not eat them all by itself.
Before long, Shen Suiren had collected two portions of all the mature and mass-produced spiritual fruits and herbs here.
Arriving at the Scrophulariaceae medicinal field, she couldn't help but ask, "Are there any orchid grasses underground?"
Ji Yu asked in return, "Which one did you give to Taiyi Sect?"
"Ah."
"No, it can't grow here."
"That's right, the place is different." Shen Suiren thought for a moment and took out several earth-type thousand-year-old spiritual fruits from his sleeve, which was actually the clam pearl in his dantian. "Here, the little fox king gave them to you. I'm giving them to you."
"I don't want yours. She said I have to ask her to give it to me." Ji Yu didn't want it, but Shen Suiren said he had to give it to her.
The two of them pushed each other back and forth, causing Nie Chengzhang to sigh: "Luckily no one else saw you two refusing to give in. If you put a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Fruit outside, even one would make people's eyes turn red with envy."
Shen Suiren nodded: "So Ji Yu, collect them quickly. After you eat the core, have Nie Chengzhang plant it for you. When you become a great demon king in the future, you can pick and eat them at will."
I envy the divine beasts so much that they can eat the thousand-year-old spiritual fruit as if it were just drinking boiled water, without being restricted by their cultivation level.
Himeyu was moved by the future she described and happily accepted it.
After they went out to collect the cauldron, Nie Chengzhang said seriously, "I won't tell anyone else about this, including Master.
I hope that fellow Daoist Suichu will also keep the secret for Jiyu."
No matter how good the things in the space are, they are only nourishing food for the Qilin beast. It is okay to taste them occasionally, but don't be greedy.
"I will keep it a secret." Shen Suiren raised his hand, and the two of them high-fived as an oath. Ji Yu also wanted to take a picture.
An hour had passed by the time she saw the guests off at the mountain gate and climbed up to the Transmission Hall on Wendao Peak again.
When he saw Master Hengde cancelling his leave, he nodded continuously: "It's better to advance to the third level and stabilize your cultivation. There's no rush to attend classes.
Recently, your group of disciples have been advancing one after another, and I was wondering when it would be your turn.
The focus of young cultivators is still on cultivation. Only after they have established their foundation and formed their elixir will they have more time to study the various arts."
"Yes, but I was in danger in the market today, so I wanted to enrich myself as soon as possible." After cleansing her essence and marrow, all the hidden injuries on her body disappeared.
Master Hengde thought about it and agreed to let her go to class tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the last free afternoon, Shen Suiren quickly went to the Merit Hall to redeem the third floor book collection order, and then went to the Foreign Affairs Hall to find Lu Yuan to pay the spirit stones.
She had used up all her original mid-grade spirit stones on her promotion, and in a blink of an eye, she got another 100,000, so she didn't feel bad about using them.
Lu Yuan felt bad for her. There were fifty bottles in total, and she bought thirty including the one she took by mistake: "Junior sister, you bought so many He Shen Pills at once, which took up spirit stones. You should buy more high-grade Ju Qi Pills for cultivation."
Normally, a top-grade Spirit Concentrating Pill costs only fifty low-grade spirit stones, while this top-grade Spirit Healing Pill costs five hundred spirit stones. The whole bottle requires five thousand low-grade spirit stones. Disciples would rather buy pills that improve their cultivation.
It has been displayed until now, and only my junior sister and a few other fellow disciples are willing to buy it.
"Brother, I advise you to buy some spirit stones if you have any.
Specializing in the soul, I'm afraid Elder Gongsun only has this batch of pills for you." Shen Suiren couldn't say too much.
Lu Yuan was quite clever. He had guessed that her cultivation level was related to the Heshen Pill. He gritted his teeth and took the two bottles to the next counter to place an order. "Okay, I'll buy two bottles."
Seeing that he looked painful at this moment, Shen Suiren thought that you will not lose out in the future, as the Heshen Pill is a magical thing that can expand the sea of consciousness during foundation building.
After he returned after paying the spirit stones, he asked, "Brother Lu, is there any news about the person I asked you to find that day?"
“I was just about to tell you that the first person I posted on the task board was looking for Foundation Establishment disciple Situ Huangshang.
After a day, no one responded, so he added that anyone who knew Situ Huangshang and had his communication talisman would be rewarded with 200 spirit stones for providing the information.
Someone answered the phone yesterday. Should I send a message to him now? " Lu Yuan was worried that she would think the reward was too high, so he waited for her nod before sending the message.
Shen Suiren didn't want to disturb his senior brother's work at the counter, so he sat down at the tea table under the window and waited.
She stared at her fellow Foundation Establishment brothers flying outside the window on their swords, but none of them looked for her.
It was not until a gray-haired Qi-refining disciple came to her that she realized that she might have made a mistake in judgment.
The old monk took out the mission jade token and nodded and smiled at her, "Is it Junior Sister Suichu who is looking for Huang Shang?"
"Yes, senior, please take a seat." The other person's appearance clearly showed that his life was almost over.
The saying goes that a person’s life spans a hundred years, and this also applies to Qi-refining cultivators. Those who fail to establish their foundation can only live for a hundred years at best, which is only slightly longer than the lifespan of ordinary mortals in this world.
Shen Suiren asked him to sit down while using his spiritual sense to confirm with Senior Brother Lu at the counter over there.
After getting a definite answer, she took out the spiritual tea and spiritual fruit she bought in the market and offered them to the old monk. "What's your name, senior? I have an elder who is a friend of Senior Situ. After I joined the sect, I wanted to visit him but couldn't find him. I never had the chance to see him.
I want to know if he is in the inner sect or outer sect now, and whether he has established his foundation yet?"
“You don’t have to be polite, Junior Sister. Just call me Senior Brother Tan.
He's in the inner sect, and has now reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. However, due to personal matters, he's often away from the sect, so many people have forgotten his former excellence. "The old cultivator finished speaking, his eyes filled with endless sighs and memories.
Shen Suiren was not in a position to ask about Situ Huangshang's age, so he just asked, "Can you contact him now?
A few days ago, I heard someone calling "Senior Brother Situ," but when I went to look for the voice, he was nowhere to be found."
The old monk shook his head: "After visiting me the day before yesterday, he left the sect again and has long been out of the range of the communication talisman."
"Really?" Logically speaking, Shen Suiren's mission should have been completed at this time.
But when she paid the spirit stone, she still asked, "Since Senior Brother Tan is familiar with him, do you also know a cultivator named Shi Yuan?
This can be considered as a new task issued by me."
"Shi Yuan? Which two words? But a female cultivator?" A gleam of light suddenly flashed in the slightly cloudy eyes of the old cultivator. What he cared about was not the mission.
Shen Suiren couldn't help but get excited: "Do you know him?"
"Junior Sister Suichu hasn't answered my question yet." The old monk's expression became serious and sharp, completely devoid of the gentleness and kindness he had just shown.
Shen Suiren calmed down immediately, "Time is the time, Yuanhenglizhen is the Yuan."
This time it was the old monk who was excited. He stood up and stared at her closely: "Where have you seen her recently?"
Bang! Boom!
He moved too violently and bumped his chair into the Qi-refining disciple sitting behind him, causing the fire talisman he was drawing to go haywire and catch fire.
While putting out the fire, the disciple angrily said, "Brother, if you have a dispute, can you please go outside?
Look, it's already affecting my talisman drawing." The mid-grade talisman that was about to succeed was ruined.
"I apologize." When the old monk turned around, Shen Suiren had already used the water spell to help put out the fire across the table. At the same time, he used his spiritual consciousness to respond to Senior Brother Lu's concern and said that he could handle it.
The moment the fire was extinguished, the Foundation Establishment disciple guarding the door arrived. He glanced at the large scorch marks on the table and said, "You've damaged public property. You must pay the price."
"Senior brother, it's their fault." The Qi Refining disciple pouted and pointed at the old cultivator and Shen Suiren with a particularly aggrieved look.
The person sitting in another seat looked up and said, "Junior brother, it's you who didn't hold the pen firmly."
“Why didn’t you say that this senior brother bumped into me? He was the main cause.
I can afford the spiritual stones, but the perpetrator must bear 50%… no, 80%.” The Qi Refining disciple watched his painstakingly crafted fire talisman ink completely destroyed, growing even angrier.
The female cultivator who spoke shook her head and continued reading her paper book.
The old monk disagreed. It was his fault for bumping into someone, but drawing talismans here was dangerous. The sect had warned him: "I'll pay half of the spirit stones."
The Qi-refining disciples refused to agree and had to split the issue into 20:80.
The Foundation Establishment disciple said calmly, "You are the one in question. The teahouse is a public area. I've reminded you several times that if you draw talismans here, you must be prepared to be disturbed."
It's understandable to take advantage of the free tea and spirit points, but you should also choose to sit in a corner. In a popular seat, occasional bumps are inevitable due to the coming and going of people.
The Qi Refining disciple understood that this was to urge him to pay the spirit stones, and the old monk had already taken out 50% and placed it on the table. He also picked out the spirit stones and signed for the payment.
After the foundation-building disciple took away the table and the table, he was still angry with the old cultivator: "This senior brother, you are old and can't move around easily, so go home and retire."
"Apologize!" Shen Suiren, who had been silent the whole time, stood in front of him and said, "Although the world of immortal cultivation is different from the mortal world, the person in front of you is a fellow disciple.
The disciples who are able to retire in the sect are all seniors who have made great contributions to the sect."
"Who hasn't done something for the sect..." The Qi Refining disciple said the last few words, his voice getting lower and lower. He suddenly found that the fellow disciples who were drinking tea around him were looking at him.
Looking at the old monk again, he was wearing a top-quality black robe with dark star patterns, and his boots were the same style.
In the entire sect, only the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall have this set of clothing.
Moreover, the sect's manual does have a clear stipulation that any disciple who has made great contributions, regardless of their level of cultivation, will be supported by the sect until the end of their life and their family members will be assisted.
"Yes, I'm sorry, senior brother. I shouldn't have ignored the reminder and drawn the talisman here." He bowed deeply, turned around and fled quickly.
The old monk bowed to everyone and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing the peace of my fellow disciples."
"You're welcome, senior brother." Not only the Qi Refiners, but also the young Foundation Establishment cultivators stood up to return the greeting.
The old monk had no choice but to invite Shen Suiren to talk outside. The two chose to go to the side of the square where the statue of the founder was located. It was open and quiet under the shady trees.
“I have already answered a question from Senior Brother Tan, and I have not yet met Senior Shi Yuan.
You know her, right?" Shen Suiren had indeed never met his master in this life.
