"Okay, you don't know how to use a sword, so don't look at this thing." Elder Sikong woke Jiang Yuanchen up: "What do you want to ask?"

Jiang Yuanchen has been here many times and is quite familiar with Elder Sikong, otherwise he would not help him arrange tables and chairs.

The teapot in front of Elder Sikong suddenly buzzed. Jiang Yuanchen stood up and poured two cups of tea for Elder Sikong and himself. He said with a smile: "The boy stayed until the end just to mix a cup of tea with the elder."

The tea that Elder Sikong drank was spiritual tea. In addition to the tea being a special supply to the inner sect, the tea was also a spiritual spring unique to Jinquan Peak.

After taking a sip of spiritual tea, the tea turned into spiritual energy and flowed down Jiang Yuanchen's throat. The pure spiritual energy and his natal energy merged into one place, making his energy stronger and stronger. A sip of spiritual tea saved him several days of collecting energy. merit.

"It's a pity that although this spiritual tea is good, it still can't break through the realm of foundation building." Jiang Yuanchen sighed and put down the tea cup.

"Are you so anxious to break through the foundation building?" Elder Sikong suddenly thought of something, took out a jade box from his sleeve and placed it in front of Jiang Yuanchen.

"I'll give you this to eat, do you want it?" The elder's words were full of temptation.

"This is -" Jiang Yuanchen opened the jade box and took a look, then immediately covered the jade box and gave it back to Elder Sikong, as if it contained a life-threatening poison, but to Jiang Yuanchen, this thing was indeed a life-threatening thing.

"Elder, don't use such poison to seduce your disciples."

"This foundation-building elixir is rare. I gave it to you for free, but you still don't want it?" Sikong Changming opened the jade box with a smile, and placed three longan-sized orange elixirs in the jade box.

"It's fine if it's a high-grade foundation-building pill. The innate spiritual energy without any side effects can help the disciple condense the foundation. But forget about these low-grade foundation-building pills. The disciple still cherishes his life."

Foundation-building pills are pills used to assist foundation-building practice, which are divided into third-grade pills. The top-grade foundation-building pill contains no erysipelas. It is just an innate pure spiritual energy that can help any Qi-nurturing monk to successfully build a foundation. The middle-grade foundation-building pill has some erysipelas, and even the spiritual energy in it has its own impurity properties. If this elixir is used to build the foundation, regardless of the impurity spiritual energy in it that will cause interference after the foundation is established, even the remaining erysipelas will take a lot of effort to expel, which will delay future practice time. Moreover, compared to the top-grade foundation-building pills, this pill is not very effective. You may need to take several pills in succession to achieve a breakthrough. Not to mention low-grade foundation-building pills, there are too many erysipelas in them, and the success rate of foundation-building by just taking one pill is extremely low. And if you take low-grade Foundation Building Pills many times, the erysipelas will even harm yourself. Even low-grade foundation-building pills that tap into their own potential to "accelerate energy and life" will damage the foundation and lifespan.

"How about I give you a middle-grade foundation-building pill?" Elder Sikong asked again.

"No!" Jiang Yuanchen shook his head repeatedly, his handsome little face frowning: "Elder, stop playing with the disciples, the disciples should focus on building the foundation on their own." Whether it is a low-grade foundation-building pill or a middle-grade foundation-building pill, for the current For Jiang Yuanchen, he is a big bug in his path. Taking this pill will definitely become a hindrance to his future practice, delaying his further practice.

"Then what do you want to ask?" Elder Sikong asked again after teasing Jiang Yuanchen.

When Jiang Yuanchen heard this, he was shocked and said solemnly: "Not long ago, the elder asked the disciples to follow the natural method. Do you dare to ask the elder why it is natural?"

"The end of the sky and the boundary of the earth, everything here should be natural!" Elder Sikong said without thinking, pointing to the scenery outside the pavilion: "All living beings are like this, heaven and earth are like this, nothing can be outside of this, nature is the Tao!"

After all, Elder Sikong had gone through many years and had seen many disciples ask about Tianyi's foundation-building method, so he also understood what Jiang Yuanchen's problem was.

Taixu Taoist Sect was faced with a group of demons besieging the mountain a few decades ago. Since then, it had closed its doors to recuperate and it was not until twenty-eight years ago that it began to admit the first group of outer disciples. Then the second batch was eighteen years ago, and Jiang Yuanchen was the third wave of outer disciples eight years ago.

Because the Taixu Taoist Sect likes to recruit disciples from an early age, its chosen age group is boys and girls aged seven to thirteen. Therefore, in the first wave of outer sect disciples, although some disciples successfully established the foundation within ten years and were included in the inner sect, the remaining disciples could still continue to work hard to build the immortal foundation before the age of thirty. But as the second wave of disciples also established foundations within ten years, those who remained from the first wave became a little more impetuous. Even when they were over thirty years old after Jiang Yuanchen started practicing, they were faced with two paths: going down the mountain to return to the mortal world or continuing to practice. The Foundation Establishment Pill in Elder Sikong's hand was prepared for them.

Jiang Yuanchen now just saw these people and thought of his own tragic scene in the future, if he could not build the foundation within ten years or even wasted his time after the age of thirty, so he was worried about nothing.

Seeing Jiang Yuanchen thinking hard about what he said, Sikong Changming thought: This boy is precociously intelligent. Although it helps him practice many times, it is precisely because he has too many thoughts that he is not as innocent as Li Wen at this moment. Mind.

After thinking about it, Elder Sikong said: "You have been up the mountain for eight years, and you have rarely been exposed to the world of mortals here. Since you can't meditate on the road, you might as well go down the mountain and take a tour home." He understood that Jiang Yuanchen was a little sad when he saw those losers. Mentality, Elder Sikong thought of letting him go down the mountain to travel.

Learn from nature. The scope of nature is too wide. The mountains and rivers are natural, and the world of mortals is also natural. Since Jiang Yuanchen could not attain enlightenment and establish a foundation on the Pure Spiritual Mountain, it is impossible to say that Jiang Yuanchen's opportunity lies in the human world.

He casually handed a token to Jiang Yuanchen: "Counting the days, it's time for the outer sect to go down the mountain to purchase. You can follow the deacons and elders of the outer sect to visit the human world. Then you can go home and take a look, and Travel around the two countries of Chen and Chu."

After receiving the token, Jiang Yuanchen thanked Elder Sikong and then went to the Outer Gate General Affairs Hall.

The Outer Gate General Affairs Hall is the institution of Taixu Taoism that manages the Outer Gate Jinquan Peak, so it is also called the Jinquan Hall. There are five departments under the hall responsible for all aspects of the outer disciples: there is the chore department responsible for washing, cooking, fetching water and wood; there is the precepts department responsible for the outer disciplines; there is the teaching department responsible for reading, interpreting and guiding spiritual practice; there is a publishing department The Buhang Division is responsible for outings; there is also the Storage Division, which is responsible for the placement of various items ranging from various magical instruments and talismans to oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. For convenience, the residences of the five masters of Jinquan Hall and the outer disciples are all built together in the Huifeng Valley.

Huifeng Valley is located at the foot of Jinquan Peak, together with Lingxia Rock and the adjacent terrace, it is also known as the "Three Scenic Spots of Jinquan Peak". It is also one of the three places with the strongest spiritual energy in Jinquan Peak. Lingxia Rock is a place of practice for many disciples, and Chengtai collects the water of Jinling Spring at the top of Jinquan Peak, several miles away above Jinquan Pavilion.

Although the power of the outer sect's general affairs hall is not great, the sons of the inner sect hold various positions. Generally speaking, they are old people in the heartbeat and jade stage. Since there is no hope for the future of spiritual practice and he cannot go down the mountain, he takes a deacon job from the outer sect, rapes the outer sect disciples, and eats and waits for death. Maybe you will find some good materials and beautiful jade outside the gate and invest in advance. When your cultivation is better in the future, you will be rewarded. You may not have a chance to turn around in the future.

After Jiang Yuanchen came to the Clothing Department, Elder Li Jian, who was planning how to go out to buy things, was surprised and said: "Your boy is actually here? Except for the ritual celebration at the beginning of each year when you go down the mountain once, I don't see you coming out to take on tasks that year. This time is quite unusual.”

Li Jian is Li Wen's great-uncle. Because Jiang Yuanchen has a good relationship with Li Wen, he is more familiar with this elder. Jiang Yuanchen can even know that the tempers of many elders are also dependent on this elder.

"This is what Elder Sikong meant. He said that the disciple had lived in the mountains for a long time and was not popular, so he took this day to go down to the mountain to take a look."

"Well——!" Li Jian touched his goatee: "What Elder Sikong said is somewhat true. You can succeed in building the foundation even if you go down the mountain for a walk." Li Jian is an elder with Yuye cultivation, and the distance is harmonious. The time for Longhu and Huangya to form elixirs is not far away, and his knowledge is naturally not weak.

"Senior Brother Jiang, do you want to go down the mountain?" Li Wen suddenly emerged from under the counter and said to Elder Li Jian: "Great uncle, my child has reached a bottleneck now, so he also wants to go down the mountain for a spin!" Li Wen asked Before the end, he came to Elder Li Jian to record various accounts. After hearing Jiang Yuanchen's words, he immediately became angry.

Li Jian rolled his eyes: "Why are you joining in the fun! Let's talk about it when you have nourished your Qi and reached perfection." You didn't have much time to run here just now, so you just want to be lazy and not work? Li Jian knocked on the table and asked Li Wen to continue calculating the outer hall's ledger for this month.

Because of the demonic calamity decades ago, Li Jian's Dao foundation was damaged and his path was blocked and his practice was slow. Therefore, he deliberately took care of his descendants and selected outstanding clansmen to join Taixu Dao Sect in order to find a golden elixir monk. Take care of him. Li Wen is the most talented person among the Li clan members of this generation, so Li Jian is very protective of this younger generation. I wish I could keep an eye on him as he practices hard and not let him have a moment of free time.

"Old Li, you might as well let Li Wen follow you for a while. He doesn't practice well in the mountains, so you might as well go to the world of mortals to have a look or beat him up." Jiang Yuanchen's heart moved and he secretly sent a message to Elder Li Jian. .

How precious is the opportunity to cultivate immortality? That is to say, Li Wen's young mind does not know how to cherish. When you enter the world and see the bones of the human world passing by for hundreds of years, it will naturally touch your Taoist heart and give rise to the desire for immortality.

Li Jian thought about it, and that was exactly what happened. Wasn't that how he longed for immortality in the first place?

"That's all, let me take you on a trip, but you must not cause trouble along the way." Li Jian said seriously. If Li Wen's lively temperament caused trouble outside, even he would not be able to protect him.

"My child knows." Li Wen was very happy and quickly pulled Jiang Yuanchen to ask for leave.

In the Miscellaneous Affairs Department and the Teaching Department, Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen also have their own homework to do. Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen had to chop wood and fetch water every day, so of course they left these tasks to others after going out. As for the teaching department, if they don't show up for class for a few days, they have to report to the lecturers.

After that, they packed up their clothes and money and ingots before following Li Jian down the mountain gate. However, leaving the mountain gate is not that easy. They also need to report to the disciples guarding the mountain at the gate and leave an approximate return time. Li Jian and Li Wen went out for shopping, as they had done in the past, but it was convenient. Jiang Yuanchen's travels required too much time, ranging from a few months to a year. Fortunately, with the token given by Elder Sikong, he pressed his fingerprints and obtained the door guide to pass the customs smoothly.

Jiang Yuanchen's hometown is in the hinterland of Taixu Dao Sect, only a thousand miles away from the gate of Taixu Dao Sect. Elder Li Jian, a Jade Liquid Stage monk, flew a flying magic weapon from above over mountains and rivers. The three of them arrived at Jiang Yuanchen's hometown in a short time.

It was only three quarters after Jiang Yuanchen Jinquan asked, and it was only three quarters before the three of them packed up and set off. Under Li Jian's flying magic weapon, they arrived at Jiang Yuanchen's hometown, Qinglin Town, in just two quarters.
