Eternal Tranquility

"Okay, okay! Chun Niu, hurry! Hurry! Calculate how many spirit stones we need!" Wu Tianyong's face flushed with excitement, and he shook Chun Niu's shoulders repeatedly.

Chun Niu also blushed with joy. She slapped the excited Wu Tianyong away and flipped the abacus on the counter with a smile: "The total is 900 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. The immortal master only needs 850 yuan."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and took out seven middle-grade spiritual stones: "I don't have enough low-grade spiritual stones. The seven middle-grade spiritual stones should be worth 850 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones."

When the two people on the opposite side saw the middle-grade spiritual stone, their eyes widened. Chun Niu repeatedly said: "It's worth it! A medium-grade spiritual stone can now be exchanged for 120 yuan for a low-grade one, and it's even more expensive on the black market." So it’s totally worth it.”

Middle-grade spiritual stones are generally commonly used by monks in the foundation-building stage and above. Most of the monks in the Qi-refining stage are very poor and cannot afford middle-grade spiritual stones. Wu Tianyong's eyes changed when he looked at Liu Qinghuan, and he began to wonder if he was a disciple of some big family or if he was covered by a high-level monk.

Liu Qinghuan actually didn't want to take out the middle-grade spiritual stones. He still remembered the fatal disaster caused by accidentally revealing his wealth last time, but he didn't have enough low-grade spiritual stones, so he had to do this.

The reason why he bought several magic weapons at once like a nouveau riche was because they were really good. Secondly, it was the first time he bought something in Xiuxian City, and he was secretly excited.

After buying the magic weapon, Liu Qinghuan asked Wu Tianyong to take him shopping on the street again, and bought one of each of the various jade slips that introduced the spiritual materials, elixirs, and minerals in the world of immortality that he had been thinking about. He also spent a hundred yuan of low-grade spiritual stones to buy five spiritual pills like cutting meat. As for other medicines such as healing medicine, detoxification pills, Bigu Pills, and Spirit Rejuvenation Pills, they are all necessary and must be prepared, and even the Spirit Feeding Pills for the first grade of junior high school must be bought. The elixir is too expensive!

After this trip, Liu Qinghuan's spiritual stones shrunk sharply. After the consumption on the road, there were only eight medium-grade spiritual stones and more than 100 low-grade spiritual stones left.

Liu Qinghuan stood on the street and looked up to the sky and sighed. It was not possible to just get in but not get out. After the Immortal Ascension Conference, he had to find a way to earn spiritual stones. Fortunately, he had given Wu Tianyong the materials he picked up on the road to sell on his behalf, and sent him away so as not to expose too much of his financial resources in front of him. Brocade and silk are touching people's hearts, but it is better not to test people's nature in this regard. Better; besides, I can probably get some spiritual stones back?

After a while, Wu Tianyong came back and handed over a storage bag: "The Taoist friend is very powerful. He actually has ninth-level snake-like monster materials, and there are two of them. They were sold at a good price, a total of four hundred Sixty-seven pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, please click on them.”

"That was hunted by a friend. I just sold it on my behalf." Liu Qinghuan said, scanning the number of spiritual stones in the bag with his spiritual consciousness, and then put it away.

With the chores almost done, the two finally walked on the road to the inn.

On the way, Liu Qinghuan couldn't hold back and asked Wu Tianyong: "I see that you are also a cultivator of immortality. Why don't you practice well but are busy with these secular affairs all day long?"

When Wu Tianyong heard this, he was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist, how old do you think I am?"

"Well, about twenty-three or four years old."

"Yes, I am twenty-four years old this year! I practiced Taoism at the age of ten, introduced Qi into my body at the age of fifteen, and now I am still at the first level of Qi refining at the age of twenty-four!"

His expression was very bitter: "For so many years, I have never given up, indulging in cultivation day and night, but..." He stopped, as if recalling some painful past events, the words were stuck in his throat, and he wanted to spit them out but couldn't. Can't swallow. After taking two deep breaths, he continued: "Fellow Taoist is already at the fourth level at a young age. It can be seen that he is very talented. How can he know the pain of trying all kinds of methods and still not being able to improve his cultivation level!"

Liu Qinghuan was speechless, not knowing how to comfort her, so she could only remain silent.

Wu Tianyong smiled self-deprecatingly: "To tell you the truth, fellow Taoist, I once had someone test it. My spiritual roots are mottled and messy. The five attributes are like the paint on the randomly dyed flower cloth, piled up here and there. Being together is worse than what ordinary people say is a waste of spiritual roots, so being able to draw Qi into the body has accumulated blessings for several lifetimes."

He paused and then sighed: "And there are more people in this world who are worse than me. For example, Chun Niu, her father is a monk at the seventh level of Qi training, but she has no spiritual roots at all. In this life, They are all destined to miss the path to immortality."

Liu Qinghuan thought of Old Man Liu and Yun Zheng. Some people have no spiritual roots at all, and some people are born with extraordinary talents. Thinking about many things and people in this world, their destiny has been destined for life since they were born, and to escape their destiny , how many times will I have to go through the pain of cramping and severed marrow!

"I can only go so far on the immortal path in my life, so I started this profession later." After saying this, Wu Tianyong seemed to have remembered something, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's just that I don't practice immortality. That’s all, so what?! If she doesn’t have the person she loves by her side, she’ll be lonely for a thousand years. I’ll keep her safe and happy..."

"Really?" Liu Qinghuan looked at Wu Tianyong's sweet profile and said lightly: "If you are given a chance, your spiritual roots will become extremely good, your cultivation will be improved effortlessly, and you will be able to build a foundation. Then, if you have the opportunity to ascend to Mahayana and seek true immortality, would you still be willing to marry a mortal woman?"

Wu Tianyong looked at him in astonishment, his mouth open and speechless. At that moment, the bone-deep desire to cultivate immortality flashed across his face, and the answer had already been given.

Liu Qinghuan looked at the sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon. The young man's immature face, which had not yet been stained by wind and frost, had a thrilling determination: "I want to live forever!"

Wu Tianyong smiled helplessly: "Yes, I also want to live forever. But assumptions do not exist, and grasping the present is the most important thing. Although Chun Niu is a mortal girl, I like her very much, even if I am like you Even if I can achieve the goal, I will not give up accompanying her throughout my life and miss her for thousands of years."

Liu Qinghuan sighed. He was not old enough to understand the love between men and women. Now the only important thing in his world was cultivation. Naturally, he could not understand Wu Tianyong's infatuated words.

The two of them chatted all the way and soon arrived at the place.

Liu Qinghuan was quite satisfied with the place Wu Tianyong introduced. It was a very quiet private courtyard. Although the location was a bit off, he planned to practice quietly and not go out, so it didn't matter. The house price is pretty good, ten low-grade spiritual stones per month.

Before entering, he took out two spiritual stones and handed them to Wu Tianyong: "My name is Liu Qinghuan. Thank you fellow Taoist for leading the way today."

Wu Tianyong took it with a smile and patted his shoulder: "Fellow Daoist Liu, as long as you are in Haoyuan City, you can come to me if you have anything to do. I, Wu Tianyong, have no other skills. I say I am well-informed, but I am not bragging."

"Okay." Liu Qinghuan nodded, and Wu Tianyong cupped his fists and said, "That's it for now. I wish my fellow Taoists good luck in their cultivation and a smooth journey to immortality!"

After saying goodbye to Wu Tianyong, Liu Qinghuan walked into the small courtyard he had rented for half a year. After a brief inspection, he lay down on the bed. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
