Immortal Road

"Okay, let's exchange it." The monk put the black iron into the storage bag, threw the copper bell and a thin booklet over, and said: "Fellow Daoist, you are still good at knowing the value of things. If I didn't need the spiritual stone urgently, I would never sell this treasure. Fellow Daoist, go and learn about its various wonderful uses."

After saying this, the monk turned and left, probably looking for a place to sell the black iron.

Ishikawa put the copper bell into the storage bag, and without taking a closer look, he hurriedly escaped into the crowd.

The sounds of asking for prices and bargaining came one after another, and one transaction after another was carried out in an orderly manner.

It can be said that in the current cultivation town, only what you can't take out can't be sold, of course, the premise is that the price is right.

After another quarter of an hour, Ishikawa finally arrived at his destination. This should be the most marginal location of the cultivation town, but the popularity is not inferior to the location in the center of the town.

In addition, only cultivators above the sixth level of Qi training, that is, real innate cultivators, are allowed to enter here.

Ishikawa heard about this place by chance in the inn. It is nominally a teahouse, but in fact, it is a place for monks to communicate.

The teahouse provides the latest news of the local cultivation world every day, and there are special monks to study these news. For example, the cave of an ancient monk was discovered in a certain place, or there was a dispute between two sects.

More importantly, monks can exchange their cultivation experience here.

Three or five unfamiliar monks, with similar cultivation levels. They can spend a small amount of spirit stones to rent a quiet room and talk about their own feelings. Everyone can give each other advice, which will naturally benefit a lot.

It is rumored that there are foundation-building monks in the teahouse, so safety is also guaranteed.

Ishikawa wore a black mask and immediately attracted the attention of several people as soon as he entered the door, but Ishikawa's cultivation level of the eighth level of the Qi training period was not to be underestimated by everyone.

Ishikawa sat down at a table and drank tea slowly while listening carefully to the discussions of other monks.

After a while, a monk in yellow robes came to Ishikawa and whispered, "I have set up a room upstairs and invite you to study Taoism together. I wonder if you are interested."

Ishikawa was delighted. He didn't expect to wait so long, so he nodded in agreement.

Entering the reserved room, there were already four people in the room, including Ishikawa and the monk who invited Ishikawa, there were exactly six people.

Except for the monk in yellow robes who was dressed slightly better, the others were dressed in ordinary clothes. They should be ordinary monks, but their cultivation was not low. They were all monks in the eighth level of Qi training period.

The four people were talking about something enthusiastically. They were very happy to see the yellow-robed Taoist leading Ishikawa in, but they were a little stunned when they saw Ishikawa's mask.

"Fellow Taoist Zuo, why don't you dare to show your true face to others when you bring this fellow Taoist here?" An old man who looked to be over fifty years old said, stroking his gray beard.

"We are here to communicate with each other, so why should we care about our appearance? After today's communication, we don't know when we will meet again, and even if we do, what will happen?" Ishikawa said faintly.

"This fellow Taoist is right." The yellow-robed Taoist hurriedly tried to smooth things over, but he secretly thought in his heart: "If the cultivation of the cultivators in the teahouse was not very low, I would not have asked you to come."

"What is this fellow Taoist's name?"

Ishikawa said without hesitation: "Just call me Chuanshi." Ishikawa turned his name upside down, fearing that someone here was from the Shuiling Sect. Even if there was no one from the Shuiling Sect here, what if one day he told someone that he had studied Taoism with a person named Ishikawa, and that Ishikawa had the cultivation of the eighth level of the Qi training period.

The probability that this matter could be heard by Elder Yun was very small, almost negligible.

But Ishikawa would not take any risks.

"Fellow Daoist Chuan, let me introduce you. The oldest one is Daoist Song Henian."

Shichuan bowed his hands. Although he had many doubts just now, he still had to follow these etiquettes.

The one who looked a little rough was called Lu Daoyuan, the one who looked a little bookish was called Chen Yu, and the only female cultivator was called Liu Yu. These three people were much better than Song Henian in attitude, and they all returned the greetings to Shichuan.

The yellow-robed cultivator said happily: "My surname is Zuo, my name is Junao, and I am the young master of Zuojiazhuang, three hundred miles away. It is a great honor to meet so many fellow Taoist friends today. So I will pay for the room fee today. Everyone can exchange experiences. Three days and three nights is fine."

As soon as Zuo Junao said this, the four of them smiled. According to convention, the cost of using the room is paid together. Zuo Junao's move saved everyone a few spirit stones.

"Thank you, Daoist Zuo." The old man's face also improved slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Chuan, why don't you introduce your origins? These four fellow Daoists are all independent cultivators who came from afar."

Shi Chuan said lightly: "I am also an independent cultivator, but I have better opportunities. I got the guidance of a senior and barely cultivated to the eighth level of Qi training."

"So, Fellow Daoist Chuan has a master?" Zuo Junao's face changed slightly, but it returned to normal in an instant.

These subtle changes did not hide from Shi Chuan's eyes.

"It's just that I got some guidance earlier, but there is no master-disciple relationship, and I haven't seen it for a long time." Shi Chuan said casually to avoid Zuo Junao's endless questions.

However, Shichuan was secretly puzzled. Why did this person care so much about whether he had a master or not? Although the Zuo family was not very powerful, it was still a cultivation family. He could have found some famous cultivators to discuss Taoism. Why did he have to find such a group of casual cultivators?

However, Shichuan came to discuss Taoism. He was not interested in whether this person had any ideas.

Hearing Shichuan's words, Zuo Junao smiled and said, "Since all of you Taoist friends know each other, let's talk about the problems you encountered in your cultivation one by one. I am the youngest and my Taoism is too shallow. Please give me more guidance."

After that, Zuo Junao threw out the problems and bottlenecks he encountered in his cultivation. After hearing this, Shichuan also agreed with it. These problems were encountered when Shichuan was practicing.

Song Henian coughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo's spiritual power is not flowing smoothly. Perhaps it is related to the cultivation method. There are countless cultivation methods in the path of cultivation. Practicing certain methods will make people become pure and desireless. Over time, the stagnation will be stored in the body, which will accumulate and even cause the Taoism to stagnate."

Shi Chuan's expression changed slightly. Song Henian was right. Since practicing the "Breathing Jue" taught by Lin Feng, Shi Chuan felt that his temperament had changed a lot. Although he was under great pressure in Shuilingmen, Shi Chuan no longer had the fearless feeling in Shijia Village. Instead, he became more wise and cautious.

"How to solve this problem?" Zuo Junao asked anxiously. The other four were also very interested.

"Children of families like you who have been practicing in the family for a long time will generally encounter this problem, but we, as independent practitioners, have fewer opportunities to encounter it because we have to spend time looking for spirit stones and elixirs. Disciples of major sects will be sent out to practice every once in a while. This is to solve this problem. As long as you go out and walk around more often, you should be able to get better."

"Thank you, Brother Song, for your advice." Zuo Jun'ao looked grateful.

"Brother Song is really knowledgeable, I admire you." Chen Yu also bowed and praised.

Song Henian was not polite and accepted it calmly.
