Fairy!

When I arrived at the Qiuye Sect’s base, I smelled a fishy odor as soon as I entered the door, and then I saw a young man in a red and white Taoist robe among a pile of fish, shrimps, crabs, turtles and soft-shelled turtles. Who else could it be but Senior Brother Murong Yun?

Ye Hong walked over and said naturally: "Brother, did you rob the Dragon Palace?"

Murong Yun glanced at him and was not surprised. He smiled and said that the clothes fit him well. Then, he said helplessly, "It's the request of the upper sect that we seven sects cooperate to search the lake to prevent any powerful monsters from appearing again."

Ye Hong took a bite of a persimmon and said, "But there is a dragon in this lake. Anyone with a little bit of cultivation should have been eaten by it."

"Who said it wasn't?" Murong Yun pointed at the aquatic products in front of him and complained, "Look, all the small fish and shrimps in the Juqi period have been caught. I, your senior brother, am almost becoming a fishmonger."

To put it simply, the Qi Gathering Stage of a monster beast is equivalent to the Qi Lian Stage of humans, and the stage for those with a monster pill is equivalent to the Golden Pill Stage.

Ye Hong smiled. When he felt sleepy, someone brought him a pillow. When he wanted to eat fish, his senior brother sold him fish. This was "luck". He couldn't help but believe it.

"Brother, how do you sell this fish?"

"These things are very cheap, no one wants them, but..." Murong Yun frowned slightly, as if he remembered some bad experience, and said: "After eating persimmons, you can't eat river food. Your senior brother didn't know this when he was a child, and he almost became a Jindan cultivator."

Ye Hong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help laughing. Wow, the pill is forming in the stomach, right?

Only then did he realize why no one picked and ate the wild persimmons on the roadside.

The two talked as they walked, and Ye Hong followed behind and observed all the way. He felt more and more that the eldest senior brother or sister of the sect was more like an "all-round player". Not only did they have to represent the sect to attend important occasions like the Ascension Conference, but they also had to be involved in matters such as collecting natural treasures.

To put it bluntly, it means "working like an ox or a horse", people who work for the sect like an ox or a horse.

The deeper reason is that those who have established their foundation and formed the elixir are indeed low- to mid-end laborers. Only after they have formed their infant can they be called "great cultivators" and be qualified to become a sect elder or even a grand elder.

He thought to himself, no wonder Senior Brother Murong was so enthusiastic when he saw him for the first time, could it be that he was thinking about having someone to carry on his career?

At this time, Murong Yun said, "Junior brother, you have made great contributions to the sect this time. I will take you to see Elder Lin and ask him to record your contribution in the book of merit. You will definitely get some benefits when the time comes."

Ye Hong smiled slightly when he heard this. Is it finally coming? In the past, when playing mobile games, after joining a guild, you can earn contributions by doing some simple daily tasks, and then exchange them for development resources. Now this contribution system has become a reality.

……

Elder Lin Feng is one of the people responsible for counting the contributions to the sect. The magic weapon room where he is located is now very busy, with disciples constantly coming to submit rare treasures, or exchanging their merits for elixirs and immortal stones.

This internal system is not particularly convenient to use, and disciples are not allowed to trade merits directly in private.

He was a kind person and would take time out of his busy schedule to answer his disciples' questions. When he saw Murong Yun and Ye Hong coming over, he immediately revealed a faint smile.

This is a heavenly grade single water spiritual root. Among the most talented few people in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has reserved a seat in the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage. Although "spiritual roots" cannot determine everything, only those with great talents have the possibility of becoming the most powerful ones in the shortest time.

The whole process went very smoothly and without any obstacles.

Ye Hong checked the list and found that with his merits, he could probably exchange for ten water-attributed spiritual medicines that could be used in the Qi training period. However, the pills given by Ye Wanqing were enough and did not need to be replenished for the time being. So he used a small amount of merits and immortal Qi stones in exchange and bought a lot of aquatic products from his fellow disciples.

Murong Yun laughed and scolded, "I refined this Immortal Qi Stone, and you used it to buy things from me. Never mind, I'll give it to you as a gift."

Ye Hong chuckled, "That's great, Senior Brother."

After that, he took out a bottle of pills from his Qiankun bag and handed it to him, saying, "This bottle of top-grade Yuan-boosting Pill is for you."

Buyuan Dan, as the name suggests, replenishes Yuan Qi, which is equivalent to the blue medicine. This kind of pill is widely used in the world of cultivation and is not very precious. However, top-grade pills are rarely used by cultivators below the Jindan stage, or even almost no one uses them, because they simply do not need such good ones.

A BMW is given as a favor to others, but in business, one should never give in.

Murong Yun did not refuse. He looked at Ye Hong deeply and reminded him not to show off his wealth. Casual cultivators generally have a hatred of the rich. If he always likes to give good things to others, it may cause jealousy from others and even bring disaster to himself after the news gets out.

Naturally, Ye Hong understood these principles, so he said he was learning.

Murong Yun nodded and said nothing more. He then gave him a spirit beast bag that could hold living things, also known as the "human race bag". Its shape was much larger than the Qiankun bag, and it looked like a sack.

Whether it is the Qiankun Bag or the Lingshou Bag, they are both magic weapons passed down from ancient times. Nowadays, few people know how to make them, but because of the huge stock, the price is not expensive.

Murong Yun finally asked, "Junior brother, although it's a little late to ask, what do you want so much river food for?"

Some people who practice Taoism would buy fish and turtles and release them into the wild for the so-called "merit", but he doesn't want to see this happen.

"Eat." Ye Hong said as a matter of course.

Chapter 30: Making a Bet

Humans have three major desires: appetite, desire, and sleep.

If one can cultivate immortality while satisfying one's own desires, then it can be called "happy cultivation of immortality". The fact that the art of dual cultivation has become popular in the immortal cultivation world over the past hundred years is a good proof of this point.

In the final analysis, asceticism is certainly a form of spiritual practice, but joyful practice can also be a form of spiritual practice.

This is what Ye Hong is thinking at the moment.

After that, Ye Hong asked Murong Yun about Qingyi's whereabouts, said goodbye to his senior brother, and came alone to a temple for women near the lake.

By the way, this temple was built by the royal family. About a hundred years ago, the Emperor of Daxia passed by here during his tour and found a stunningly beautiful woman, so he took her as his concubine.

After her death, the emperor built a temple for her in her hometown, commonly known as the "Niangzi Temple". The temple was built on a protruding rock by the lake, and this platform was also called the "Niangniang Terrace".

Ye Hong was very familiar with this place, because under the Niangzi Temple was the "Jiaolong Cave".

The beast was so cunning that it took advantage of ordinary people and temples to escape the thunderbolt.

Ye Hong came to the statue of the goddess facing east by the water. Qingyi was standing at the foot of the statue with her hands behind her back, facing the wind, her clothes fluttering in the wind. She was looking at the vast lake in front of her without saying a word.

He did not speak rashly, his eyes darting back and forth between the stone statue and his cheap master, thinking, what's the point of outshining all the beauties? Teacher Liu is still more beautiful. How did she say that? She's as radiant as a god.

In the setting sun, the lake surface is shimmering, as if covered with a layer of golden gauze, which is beautiful beyond words.

The scenery is like this, and so is the beauty.

After an unknown amount of time, Qingyi suddenly turned around and saw Ye Hong, wearing a white jade crown and a red and white disciple uniform, still standing there.

Although people who practice Taoism cannot be judged by common sense, it is rare for a man to be independent at the age of ten. Usually, children of his age are either still struggling in the outer sects or practicing in the sects. How could they have the opportunity to travel around?

Qingyi didn't want to pay attention to it, but she thought of Ye Wanqing and her instructions.

"Sister, when I'm not around, you should discipline him for me and don't let him get out of control."

So Qingyi said coldly: "I agree to teach you, but I have to make three rules beforehand."

Ye Hong didn't say anything, but just looked at her expressionlessly, waiting for what to say next.

"First, do not disobey."

"Okay." He said softly.

Qingyi's eyes moved slightly, and she said calmly: "Second, we will not address each other as master and disciple from now on."

Does this mean that you don't want to acknowledge yourself as your disciple?

Ye Hong didn't care, "Okay."

"Third, after the baby is formed, we will end all ties and stop getting entangled."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Immortal."

He thanked Qingyi and bowed.

Teacher Liu, if you think I can reach the Nascent Soul stage, then I must thank you very much.

Qingyi looked at him, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "I am a guest elder of Qiuye Sect. You can call me Elder Liu from now on."

The guest elders are actually equivalent to nominal thugs. They don't need to do anything on weekdays. They just need to practice on their own. They can also receive a considerable salary regularly. Similar to them are the offering elders.

The difference between the two lies in that the worship elders are workers who do work for money, and if they are paid enough they can even work for their employers; while the guest elders are temporary workers, and are usually big shots who are difficult to hire. The word "guest" explains it all.

Ye Hong thought to himself, as long as she taught him seriously, he could call her whatever she wanted him to be called, even Her Majesty the Queen.

He said calmly, "What else do you want, Queen?"

Qingyi frowned when she heard that, and stared at him with her bright eyes. She thought, these two are of the same character, both like to give others weird nicknames.

"What did you call me just now?"

He was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red, feeling a little ashamed.

Fortunately, he had a strong mentality. He looked back at Qingyi's doubtful eyes with a thick face and explained calmly: "I mean, you are just like the current Empress Fengyuan, you are so beautiful and charming."

"I hate people who are smooth talkers the most." Qingyi had a blank expression on her face. She snorted coldly and then ordered, "Come forward."

Ye Hong silently complained in his heart, I am not your apprentice, and then stood beside her obediently, waiting for her decision. Who would have thought that Qingyi actually raised her embroidered shoe and kicked him on the butt, kicking him down mercilessly.

After Ye Hong fell into the water, he struggled a few times and then showed signs of drowning. Soon he was unable to struggle and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Qingyi didn't say anything for a while, nor was she in a hurry. She just looked at the surging lake indifferently, and finally sneered: "Have you had enough fun?"

It would be a huge joke if a person with a heavenly grade single water spirit root could be drowned by a mere lake water, not to mention that he had the aura of a "dragon emerging from the sea" and had reached the sixth level of Qi training.

After a while, Ye Hong emerged from the lake, protected by the invulnerable clothing that was impervious to swords and guns, water and fire, but his hair was all wet.

Oddly enough, ever since he merged with the power of the dragon soul, soaking in the cool lake water is actually quite comfortable. His body naturally feels relaxed, and the water flows like a lover massaging him, being sweet and tender to him.

Ye Hong suddenly called out, "Elder Liu, if my guess is correct, when you were very young, did Grandmother Shenhe kick you into the cold water like this?"

Qingyi looked down from above. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly when she heard the words. She immediately restrained her expression. Thinking of the past, her emotions surged in her heart. Her red lips moved, and finally she nodded slightly.

Damn it, he guessed right!

Ye Hong cursed in his heart. This woman had never been a teacher. She was going to teach him the same way as Master Shenhe taught her. This was simply a perfect replica of her childhood trauma!

Anyone who thinks about it would not kick a child into the water.

Qingyi knew about this, she just thought it was troublesome.

She only wanted to practice without distraction and didn't want to have too much interaction with other people. She felt that Ye Hong's presence disturbed her peace, so she adopted the method of ascetic practice to teach him so that he would give up.

Ye Hong ducked in the water and shouted, "Elder Liu, how about we make a bet?"

Qingyi did not refuse immediately, but asked: "What do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet I can drag you down with me!"

Qingyi remained silent, but sneered in her heart, just you?

It is ridiculous for an ant to try to shake the river.

She said, "If you lose, go back to the sect and practice hard, and come see me again after you have established your foundation."

"If I win, you will allow me to call you by your name!"

When addressing elders, do not call them by their names. Especially if you are not a close relative, do not call the elders by their names, as it will be seen as disrespectful and insulting.

Qingyi continued to stare at him, her eyes suddenly becoming somewhat meaningful, and then she sneered, "Okay, you can try it, I want to see how you push me into the water."

"Who said I was going to push you into the water?" Ye Hong raised his head and smiled, shouting, "I just found a dragon cave under the water, come down and play!"
