Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 37: Like Mountains Separated by Rows

The small Golden Light Temple that piqued Su Ping's curiosity is located on a mountain at the intersection of three major cities.

Unlike those markets that like to hide deep in the mountains and forests.

The small Golden Light Temple exposes itself to the mundane gaze.

The outer gate of the temple is wide open, and as long as you can climb the mountain, whether you are a wandering cultivator or an ordinary person, you can enter the temple to worship and enjoy a decent vegetarian meal.

Outside the mountain, the small Golden Light Temple has cultivated large tracts of farmland and hired thousands of hired farmers to cultivate them. Together with the numerous farms acquired from various places, it can be considered one of the largest landlords in the nearby area.

The small Golden Light Temple has a rule that in order to cultivate these lands, one must complete the daily Buddhist practices three times a day.

There are also occasional tests on Buddhist knowledge.

As a result, these hired farmers and their families are basically followers of the small Golden Light Temple.

They gather at the foot of the mountain, naturally forming a bustling town.

With the popularity of the town, there is no shortage of merchants.

As a bell rang on the busy street.

A caravan from the Golden Sparrow City entered the town and began shouting and selling their goods with the sound of bells.

As the pedestrians were attracted by this new caravan.

No one noticed, or even cared.

Before the caravan entered the town, more than ten large rats jumped off the carriages and hid in the fields.

These rats were elite rats controlled by Su Ping's spirit rats, Little White and Little Grey.

These rats were used to lay the groundwork and investigate any unusual activities in the small Golden Light Temple.

From the current known information.

The small Golden Light Temple seems to be calm, and the ordinary people who depend on it still live a relatively comfortable life, better than most villagers.

The temples located halfway up the mountain and on the mountaintop still maintain their solemn appearance, with the sound of chanting echoing at regular intervals.

"Nothing major happened because I went to investigate, right? Hmm... this is normal."

"Even if there is a conspiracy, it is probably only revealed in the later stages of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly."

Su Ping confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about the small Golden Light Temple, at least not for now.

He breathed a sigh of relief and began to focus on his own cultivation.

In addition to cultivating Qi and tempering the body, various skills are also essential in cultivating immortality.

Especially since Su Ping has a big secret and the more self-sufficient things he has, the more secure he will be.

Su Ping began to try reading books.

With the help of drugs, he finished reading the chapters in the books related to talismans and refining tools.

He felt that talismans seemed to be the simplest.

Coincidentally, he also bought related materials from the Hundred Treasures Market, so he decided to give it a try.

The result was as Su Ping expected.

His mind thought he could do it, but his right hand holding the pen told him no, you can't do it!

He wasted several materials, and even the simplest light body talisman failed.

Su Ping sighed and decided to ask for help.

Su Ping wrote a letter and contacted an acquaintance from the outer gate.

After offering some benefits, he received a reply from the other party, introducing a cultivator from the outer gate who is proficient in talisman arts.

"Turns out he is also an Inspector!"

After reading the letter, Su Ping recalled the content. The cultivator introduced by the other party is named Luo Qing.

He was born as a shepherd and became a cultivator who stands high above the rest by ascending in the Immortal Gate.

He discovered his talent in talismans in the Immortal Gate, so he became a talisman master in the outer gate.

Unfortunately, his talent was too poor, and in his early years, he was greedy for cultivation and consumed too many Foundation Building Pills. Even though he earned more spirit stones than ordinary disciples through talismans, it was still not much.

After sixty years of arduous cultivation, I still haven't been able to break through to the later stage of Qi Refinement. However, a few months ago, it seems that I finally came to terms with it and returned to my hometown with my skills in talismans and savings, becoming the local inspector.

It can be considered a triumphant return.

If future generations can produce a few capable individuals, there is still hope for them to become local aristocrats a hundred years later.

Dealing with such cultivators, Su Ping pondered for a moment and brought along the remaining ten kilograms of spiritual rice and five kilograms of monster meat to pay a visit.

As for the small and large blue fish, it's not that he couldn't bear to part with them, but rather, it would be too dangerous to make a move on these spiritual fish that have never appeared in the cultivation world.

Just like Su Ping, the inspector Luo Qing of Jin Yue City did not live in the city, but found a beautiful place to build a courtyard and live in.

Luo Qing entered the immortal sect at the age of fifteen and is now seventy-five years old.

In this world of mortals, this age is not considered young no matter how you look at it.

Even for Qi Refinement cultivators, this age is already entering the period of decline.

Luo Qing also received a letter from an acquaintance, learning that someone wanted to come and learn his knowledge of talismans.

Out of courtesy, he agreed, but he didn't really care about it in his heart. He just wanted to casually brush it off when the time came.

Although he had retired, it didn't mean that he would have a feud with his peers.

But seeing others making money still made him feel uncomfortable.

Lying on the bed, Luo Qing was discussing life with his newly taken twenty-second concubine.

Suddenly, he felt that a cultivator was approaching the courtyard.

Soon, someone came to report, causing Luo Qing to furrow his brows slightly.

"Why did this person come so quickly? They seem to be really interested in the path of talismans. Why didn't they come to learn when they were in the immortal sect?"

Muttering to himself, Luo Qing got up, dressed, and put on a serious expression.

"Wait for me in bed, I'll be right back."

He didn't want to see the resentful expression on his concubine's face.

Luo Qing walked out of the room and arrived in the hall, where he saw Su Ping.

His gaze fell on the spiritual rice and monster meat that Su Ping was carrying.

Luo Qing's old face immediately blossomed with a smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Welcome, why are my servants so ignorant!"

"Quick! Tea, bring tea, the best tea!"

Su Ping wasn't interested in drinking tea, especially from this stingy old talisman master. The so-called good tea he brought out was not as good as what the lord's mansion had given him.

With just a few simple sentences, Su Ping realized that this old cultivator fit the image of a rigid retired inspector that outer sect disciples had in mind.

Because these old cultivators who only thought about waiting for death were like this!

Su Ping didn't waste much time with him. After receiving the benefits, the old talisman master also entered the state of a master and began to inquire about Su Ping's doubts in talismans.

Many things are like mountains when seen from a different profession, but often it's just a thin layer of white paper that separates them. Once pierced, it will make people suddenly enlightened.

After pondering for a long time, it's not as good as a few words of experience from a senior.

Su Ping finally understood the meaning behind these words.

After being taught by the old talisman master for a day, although his talisman drawing still failed, Su Ping truly felt his progress and felt that he had found the right path in talismans.

Then, feeling that it was worth it, Su Ping took out more spiritual rice.

He contracted the old talisman master for another day and night, and only left satisfied after resolving all the doubts that had arisen so far.

However, the concubine who was waiting for the old talisman master in the inner courtyard was in a miserable state.

Don't look at her being newly taken, without the old talisman master's command, even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to disobey!

Not every inspector, like Su Ping, refrains from wanton killing or involving family members.

The old talisman master said to stay in bed, so she had to stay, even if she was thirsty or hungry!
