My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 104 Sanyuan Zhenren: I asked them to return the money
Xu Mo saw the appearance of Sanyuan Zhenren and asked curiously, "Senior, what happened?"

Sanyuan Zhenren looked around with a somewhat evasive look, and said hesitantly:

"No, nothing much. I just haven't seen you for a long time, little friend Xu. I missed you so much that I came to see you."

When Xu Mo heard this, he almost laughed out loud. Wow, this is totally inconsistent. It seems that the real person is in big trouble this time.

This made him even more curious. Who else in the Tianxuan Sect could make the real person so afraid that he would hide here?

So he bluntly exposed the other person's lie and said, "But you just said you were going to hide here for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Sanyuan Zhenren's face froze, and he wiped his forehead angrily, "Yes, is that so?"

He seemed to realize this as well. After a dry cough, he stretched out his hand to straighten his Taoist robe, and then spoke seriously:

"Oh, those sword cultivators are so annoying."

After sighing, he said to Xu Mo with a look of disgust:

"Xu Xiaoyou, let me tell you, in the world of cultivation, you must never make friends with sword cultivators, knife cultivators, or other weapon cultivators who specialize in one discipline.

Don't be fooled by their bright and handsome appearance, as if they are very powerful and have achieved great things. In fact, they are all poor. After searching their bodies for a long time, they can probably only take out half a spirit stone.

If you do business with them, you will be pissed off to death by them.

You're so stingy, you can haggle with me for half a day over a few spirit stones. It's so annoying."

He concluded seriously, "In short, all the weapon cultivators in this world are poor, and we can't be friends with them."

Xu Mo stared at Sanyuan Zhenren in amazement, who looked a little indignant. He didn't know why he suddenly started to criticize the sword cultivator and the weapon cultivator.

He was silent for a moment, then asked quietly, "Senior, are you making friends or spirit stones?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Sanyuan Zhenren looked at him in surprise, as if he was asking, "Don't you know who I am?" Then he said as if it was a matter of course:
"How can friends be more important than spirit stones? Ever since I became the internal affairs elder of Danxia Peak, I have no friends in my life. Or rather, whoever can give me spirit stones is my friend."

He spoke openly and honestly, seemingly not caring about other people's opinions at all. This made Xu Mo hesitate. "But I don't seem to be rich either, am I? Then why would you be willing to make friends with me?"

Sanyuan Zhenren laughed and said, "My friend, you are wrong. Although you are not rich now, you have great potential.

Moreover, in another one or two hundred years, when the Ningyu fruits mature in large quantities, there will be a steady supply of spirit stones coming in.

So you are too modest, my friend. In my opinion, you are definitely one of the most suitable people to be friends with in this world."

As he spoke, he suddenly clutched his chest again, a look of pain on his face, as if recalling unpleasant memories. He added, "Of course, it would be even better if you could find a new Internal Affairs Elder."

Xu Mo smiled knowingly. It seemed that Master Sanyuan still hadn't gotten over the previous negotiations with Senior Sister Ye Qingyue.

But that's true. After all, Senior Sister Ye Qingyue caused True Man Sanyuan to lose so many spirit stones. Given her personality, it might not be easy for her to get out of this situation in a short time.

He rejected Sanyuan Zhenren's proposal without hesitation, "Senior, you're joking. Senior Sister Ye is doing her best in her position as the Internal Affairs Elder. I am very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Sanyuan Zhenren reluctantly made another suggestion. He stared at Xu Mo expectantly, "Then I hope that our communication can be without her presence, okay?"

Xu Mo shook his head and refused without hesitation, "Of course, that's impossible. It's not my place to meddle in other people's business. As long as it's within Senior Sister Ye's job description, I won't interfere. Senior, please don't mention this matter again."

He laughed and returned to the previous topic, "I wonder why Senior suddenly mentioned the sword cultivation tools?"

When Sanyuan Zhenren heard this, an awkward expression appeared on his face. He looked at him a little embarrassedly and said:

"It's like this. When we went to explore the ruins and cave with you, little friend Xu, didn't I give you a copy of the basic alchemy knowledge I personally summarized as a reward?"

Xu Mo nodded when he heard this. It was true. To be honest, he had played some tricks in front of Sanyuan Zhenren and said that he had always dreamed of becoming an alchemist.

The purpose was to see if he could learn a thing or two about alchemy from the other person.

Later on, Sanyuan Zhenren really helped him. However, after he got the basic alchemy inheritance, he was always busy with grafting experiments and never picked up the alchemy inheritance to take a look at it again.

Now that Sanyuan Zhenren brought up the matter again, he suddenly felt as if he couldn't raise his head.

After all, they gave it to you, but you don't take it seriously and don't even look at it. This is really too much.

He made up his mind that the hybrid rice experiment was a long-term one and he didn't need to devote all his energy to it. When he had some free time, perhaps trying alchemy would be a good option.

It just so happened that he had tricked the spirit of the secret realm into giving him an alchemy furnace at the Shennong Conference. After he got the alchemy furnace, he put it in his collection and it gathered dust. Now it can be used.

The alchemy furnace used by Emperor Yan of Shennong seems pretty good, doesn't it? I wonder if it has any special effects.

After making up his mind, Xu Mo put away his thoughts, looked at Sanyuan Zhenren and asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with the sword cultivators and weapon cultivators?"

Sanyuan Zhenren turned his head away, his eyes dodging as he replied, "It's not directly related, it's just that because of this incident, I remembered that this seems to be a way to earn spirit stones.

So he started selling his alchemy inheritance among the various peaks of the sect.

You know, people are always curious about alchemy, thinking that they can make it as long as they learn. In fact, they think too much. Alchemy is a test of talent. How can one learn it with just the inheritance of the basics of alchemy?

Besides, even if they can learn it, it's only the basics, and it won't affect our Danxia Peak business. Since they are curious, I will sell it to them."

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly waved his hand at Xu Mo and added: "Of course, we are talking about ordinary people here. Xu Xiaoyou is gifted, so you can definitely learn it."

As he said this, he patted his chest, as if he was afraid that Xu Mo would misunderstand his words. Then he turned around and said that even if he wanted to return the alchemy inheritance to him and ask for compensation from him, he would lose a lot.

Xu Mo was also shocked by what Sanyuan Zhenren said. He didn't expect that the other party could come up with this trick. He was simply a business genius.

Then he asked, "So what does this have to do with sword cultivation and weapon cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Sanyuan Zhenren's eyes widened and he said in a somewhat indignant tone:
"Later, this matter was discovered by the sect's sword cultivators, and they came to me to purchase the alchemist's inheritance."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Xu Mo was a little puzzled.

Sanyuan Zhenren spitted and said with disdain, "How can this be considered a good thing? Xu Xiaoyou, you don't know that those sword cultivators are really poor and stingy. Think about it, the spirit stones they usually use for sword training are basically spent on those few broken swords.

After all, swords will wear out if used frequently. Even if they don't wear out, they still need to be upgraded frequently. Especially since sword cultivators like them are stubborn and like to use the best and most expensive materials every time they upgrade.

Moreover, they love swords like crazy. Whenever they come across a good sword, they like to buy it. Even if they cannot use it, they still like to collect it. It is rare to find a cultivator who loves only one sword from beginning to end.

The most important thing is that when those sword cultivators go outside, they always like to act cool and want the best food, clothing and other necessities, as if only in this way can they show their uniqueness.

So after all this, how could they have any spirit stones left on them?

Anyway, they are just a bunch of mentally ill people who love to show off.

Have you often heard people talk about those sword cultivators who come and go without a trace, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, and after showing off here, they disappear for a while, and then go to show off somewhere else after a while?

Those people outside are saying that they are masters, bah.

Don’t think I don’t know. In fact, every time they show off, they have no spirit stones left and can only go back in disgrace.

Otherwise, with their tendency to love the spotlight, would they be willing to just go back like this? They'd be dying to show off every day.

"Look at them running around here and there, why? Aren't they just taking on quests to earn spirit stones?"

Sanyuan Zhenren spoke a long paragraph in one breath, from which we can see how deep his resentment towards the sword cultivator is.

This made Xu Mo very curious. What on earth had they done to make Sanyuan Zhenren so indignant? He thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Could it be that they want you to pass on the alchemy skills to them without paying?"

"Well, that's not the case." Sanyuan Zhenren shook his head, "They don't have the guts, but they wanted to buy it at half the price I asked. What's even more outrageous is that they actually came in groups of several people, some even over a dozen, pooling their spirit stones to buy it.

They, as sword practitioners, often fight with others and get injured. They have a great demand for elixirs. I can understand that they want to learn how to make elixirs so that they can save a lot of spirit stones on buying elixirs.

But a dozen people spent half the price of spirit stones to buy my alchemy inheritance. What do they think of me?"

He looked at Xu Mo with an indignant look on his face, "Xu Xiaoyou, don't you think they are going too far?
I refuse to sell to them, but they keep pestering me. I just can't stand them any more."

"That's really a bit too much." Xu Mo nodded with a smile, "So you can't stand them anymore and want to hide here with me?"

Sanyuan Zhenren's expression paused for a moment, then he nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's right."

Seeing his lack of confidence, Xu Mo narrowed his eyes, stared at him meaningfully and said, "Really? Why do I feel like you're lying, Senior?"

Sanyuan Zhenren quickly shook his head and denied it. "No, no, you're joking, Xu Xiaoyou. How could I possibly lie to you? It's really like this."

Xu Mo let out a long "oh" and then changed the subject, saying quietly, "Well, senior, just tell me the truth and I'll teach you a way to earn spirit stones endlessly."

Sanyuan Zhenren immediately stared at him with wide eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"

Xu Mo nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I actually wanted to tell you this method, but the way you acted today really made me sad.

You should understand me. I have always treated others sincerely, and naturally I hope that others can treat me sincerely. I hope there will be no lies and deception in my world.

I hope you can help me, senior."

Xu Mo spoke very seriously, staring at Sanyuan Zhenren with sincere eyes.

He just realized that what he had just said was not what he would say, so he hurried to make amends.

Seeing his sincere gaze, Sanyuan Zhenren immediately lowered his head. He almost forgot Xu Xiaoyou's temper. Would it be bad for him to deceive him like this? He would definitely be sad, right?

So he sighed with some self-blame, then raised his head, looked at Xu Mo calmly, and told him the real reason why he came here.

“When I was young, I had great talent, especially in alchemy. I was often praised by the elders, who said I was a rare alchemy genius.

My fellow students around me often praise me.

At that time, no matter where I went, I would be welcomed by others. The feeling of being the center of attention made me feel a little dizzy and I couldn’t recognize myself.

At that time, the elders of the sect loved me very much and often rewarded me.

I also worked hard and used my own alchemy skills to earn a lot of spirit stones.

It can be said that he is quite wealthy, so he is generous wherever he goes, and often gives generous rewards to others just because they praise him.

Especially since I was quite romantic at that time, I moved around among the female cultivators in various major sects, and often gave them some precious treasures to make them happy.

Then some time ago, due to the expansion of the sect, the resources in Danxia Peak were tight. I tried my best, but still couldn't meet the demand. I thought of my experiences when I was young.

I thought, since we didn't end up together in the first place, could some of the resources I gave out be returned to me so I can use them in an emergency?

So I sent them a message and told them my request.”

Xu Mo opened his mouth wide and stared at Sanyuan Zhenren in amazement.

I feel a little emotional inside. It turns out that you are the one who can do such a thing.

He really couldn't express his feelings. This kind of thing of asking for the return of gifts was rare, even in his previous life.

What’s more, this happened in the ancient world. This is probably the first time in history, right?

Moreover, this is a world of cultivation. How long has it been since the events that happened when Sanyuan Zhenren was young?
He swallowed hard, suppressed the gossip within him, and asked, "And then? How did they react?"

　I've taken some medicine and my cold has gotten better. Thank you all for your concern. I feel a little dizzy while writing this, so I'll leave it at that for now. It's really not a chapter break, it's mainly because the word count has been reached and I'm in a hurry to update, so I'll update it first and I'll code it out as soon as possible.

　　Finally, I would like to thank [I Love Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes] for the reward, and thank you to our proud character assistant.
