God Rewards Those Who Work Hard: No Pains, 100% Gains

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning.

After Xu Ke got up and washed, he habitually practiced boxing, swordsmanship and yellow scarf wrestler exercise. Then he lit a fire to cook, and had breakfast with Purple Skylark.

Then, Xu Ke began to pack his bags.

After being promoted to be an executive disciple of the Temple of Si Nong, the "work" will be rearranged, and I don't know where I will be assigned.

No matter where it is arranged, the Zongmen will definitely not take care of daily necessities. Therefore, Xu Ke must be fully prepared and bring all the daily necessities.

Pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, food and vegetables, bedding, clothes and towels, bed tables, pens, inks, papers and inkstones...

After such a cleanup, there are still a lot of things to bring.

Fortunately, Xu Ke has no shortage of magic weapons for storage now. Two storage bags and a jade gourd are enough.

I took out all kinds of "wine-making technical materials" given by the old man Zhuo Mu, put them into a storage bag for repairs, and emptied a storage bag for these daily necessities, which easily solved the problem.

After packing his luggage, Xu Ke took a shower, put on a new "standard Taoist robe" of outer disciples, wore a "seeking Taoist crown" on his head, hung a long sword on the left side of his waist, a jade gourd on the right side, and two storage bags next to his body deposit.

After tidying up and dressing up, the whole person looks handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary heroic appearance.

"Finally looks like a cultivator!"

Xu Ke smiled, stretched out his hand, and the purple skylark flew over and landed on his shoulder.

Turning his head to look at the thatched cottage behind him, Xu Ke felt a little emotional, but he didn't have much nostalgia.

The fairy road is far away, and the avenue walks alone.

How many people, how many things, how many difficult pasts, all turned into passing clouds in the end.

Home? There is no home for a practitioner. It's just wandering around, and the four seas are home.

Flicking the sleeves of his robe, Xu Ke's figure swept up and floated away.

When passing by Senior Brother Wang's residence, Xu Ke unexpectedly found that Senior Brother Wang was standing under the eaves of his house.

"Senior Brother Wang, you are..."

Xu Ke stopped and turned to look at Senior Brother Wang.

"I know you're leaving today, so I'll see you off!"

Senior Brother Wang smiled at Xu Ke, then adjusted his clothes, bowed his hands and saluted, "I wish Junior Brother Xu a bright future and great success in the road."

"Thank you, brother!"

At this moment, Xu Ke's heart felt inexplicably hot, and he was a little moved.

It turned out that someone still remembered that I was leaving today.

It turned out that someone would send me off.

After bowing and saluting, Xu Ke straightened up, took a deep breath, and a different look glowed between his brows.

After saying goodbye to Senior Brother Wang, Xu Ke walked all the way to the market town of Fangshi.

Along the way, other people were not as humane as Senior Brother Wang. Even if they met on the way, they just nodded slightly, no congratulations, no farewell, completely indifferent.

Xu Ke didn't care either, no matter what attitude the other party had, he always smiled back.

The road of practice is long and lonely.

The more you practice, the easier it is to become indifferent, become "too high and forget your feelings", become "firm in the mind of the Tao, not stagnant in things", become "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements". don't care.

This is actually the loss of "humanity".

Xu Ke didn't want to cultivate such a fairy. Immortals and immortals cannot only have "immortals" without "people".

Walking along the streets of the market town, Xu Ke came to "Baibaozhai".

Fangzheng Liu Yongtian was sitting on a deck chair under the eaves, leisurely flipping through a book, which seemed to be another kind of "jade futon" type of book.

"You're here?"

Seeing Xu Ke's arrival, Liu Yongtian put down his book and smiled at Xu Ke, "After the casual cultivators left, there will be no business during this period. I don't bother to guard the counter, so I just come out to get some air. I'm not waiting for you .”

Hehe, so you are a tsundere?

Xu Ke smiled, didn't point it out, and directly bowed to Liu Yongtian to salute, "Fangzheng, I'm leaving, and I will come back to see you in the future."

"let's go."

Liu Yongtian waved his hand lazily, "Going to the Si Nong Hall, you must do things seriously, and don't disgrace me in Hedong Fang."

Does Hedong Fang have any face to lose? Uh, no, I am the only face in Hedong Fang.

Xu Ke bowed and said, "Thank you Fangzheng for your teaching, I will work hard."

"Go!"

Liu Yongtian waved his hand at Xu Ke again, "Go there early, report early, don't waste time."

"Okay. Then...Fangzheng, I'm leaving."

After saluting and saying goodbye to Liu Yongtian, Xu Ke got up and walked towards Haoyang City.

After Xu Ke left, Liu Yongtian stood up, looked at Xu Ke's leaving figure, and waved slowly.

——

After leaving Hedongfang, Xu Ke used the "light body technique" all the way and hurried to Haoyang City.

The "lightness technique" turned into a talent spell allowed Xu Ke to travel very quickly. With one rise and fall, he flew ten feet in the air, and his robe and sleeves fluttered.

It's just that... this immortal demeanor is still at the initial stage of "traveling basically depends on walking".

Especially after approaching Haoyang City, Xu Ke was even more envious when he saw all kinds of cars whizzing by in the sky, all kinds of lights.

"Buying a car" must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be really inconvenient to travel in the future.

All the way through the urban area of ​​Haoyang Chengfang, and into the residence of the Si Nong Dian, Xu Ke once again stepped into the majestic hall of the Si Nong Dian.

"Xu Ke from Hedong Fang, you are ordered to report here."

Stepping up the steps, Xu Ke bowed his hands and reported to the disciples on duty at the gate of the main hall.

"Haha! Brother Xu is here?"

Before waiting for the disciples on duty to respond, a loud laugh was heard from the hall, and Senior Brother Zhang Lingfeng came out with a smile on his face.

"I met Senior Brother Zhang."

Xu Ke bowed his hands to Zhang Lingfeng, "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with everything, so I'll ask Senior Brother Zhang to take care of me in the future."

"Where it is, it should be."

Zhang Lingfeng greeted him enthusiastically, "When I saw Junior Brother Xu before, I thought that Junior Brother was extraordinary, but I didn't expect Junior Brother to be more powerful than I thought. This time I won the first place in the promotion assessment. I was shocked when I heard the news!"

"Senior brother is overrated!"

Xu Ke hurriedly said something modest, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Brother Zhang is really extraordinary!

As expected of a person with great ambitions who wants to take the "route to power", he is too good at talking. This kind of emotional intelligence, this kind of hospitality, really makes people feel like spring breeze.

It's just that... following the road of "taking power", various "struggles" are bound to be indispensable, and they will inevitably be troubled in the future.

If you win, you will have unlimited scenery, and if you lose, you will lose everything.

Xu Ke just wanted to practice quietly and didn't want to get involved in such troublesome things, so...a person with great ambitions like Zhang Lingfeng couldn't have a close friendship.

It's better to be simple when making friends, lest he cause countless troubles for you, and eventually involve himself in it.

(This matter was mentioned in the previous chapters, but it was not thoroughly written. Some readers raised questions, so Xu Ke’s thoughts are written.)
