The ancestor of talismans

"Congratulations, congratulations to Junior Brother Xu for his breakthrough!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xu, for advancing."

Hong Quan smiled and bowed, and Duer also congratulated him with a bitter face!

"Come on, I'll buy you a drink, and I have something to ask you."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Don't get drunk, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Have a drink, let's go!"

As the three of them were talking, they came to a nearby tavern.

This tavern was opened by an elderly man who had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage. He only sold wine, not brewed it. Although his wine was not as authentic as the one brewed by immortals, it also had a unique flavor.

"Come, I toast to you two!"

Xu Changshou poured three full glasses of wine, picked up one glass and said with a smile.

The two smiled knowingly and raised their glasses at the same time: "Congratulations."

"drink!"

Xu Changshou drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and shouted that he was refreshed.

Over the past decade, he has been saving money and practicing, saving money and practicing, and he has never dared to slack off in the slightest. During this period, he has not even drunk a drop of alcohol.

After drinking a glass of wine today, I felt that the tiredness brought by more than ten years of hard training was instantly swept away.

Alcohol is a good thing, but not in excess.

"What are you doing!?"

"Junior Brother Xu, are you crazy? You won't be working tomorrow?"

Seeing Xu Changshou drink two taels of wine in one breath, both of them became nervous.

The wine-making standard of the Sangyu Immortal Realm is based on the alcohol consumption of Yuanying cultivators. An average Yuanying cultivator will feel dizzy after drinking half a catty of wine, and will be drunk after drinking one catty of wine.

The alcohol here is very strong. If you get drunk, you won’t be able to wake up the next day and can’t go to work.

Xu Changshou drank two taels of liquor in one gulp. If he continued to drink like this, he would be drunk after just a few sips.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Changshou laughed: "I won't go to work tomorrow, and I won't go to work again in the future."

That’s right, Xu Changshou decided to escape from hard labor.

He didn’t dare to leave before because his strength was too weak, and it was safer to follow Li Ziyao.

Now, Xu Changshou's strength is no less than Li Ziyao's and he does not need Li Ziyao's protection. Therefore, there is no need for him to follow Li Ziyao and do hard work.

In the world of immortal cultivation in Sangyu, anyone can escape from hard labor if they have a certain level of strength.

However, it is not so easy to escape from hard labor. You can't escape it just by wanting to.

Duer smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? You are only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. With your cultivation level, it is a question whether you can survive even if you get rid of the hard labor."

"That's right."

Hong Quan also advised: "With your current strength, you are not yet qualified to escape from hard labor. Be patient. When you reach the late Nascent Soul stage, we will leave together so that we can take care of each other."

Xu Changshou glanced at Hong Quan and asked, "Are you also planning to escape from hard labor?"

"yes!"

Hong Quan nodded. "If it weren't for helplessness, who would be willing to be driven by others? To be honest, I have already bought my flying sword, and my strength has improved to a certain extent. Next, I plan to earn money to redeem myself and endure for another hundred years. When my cultivation breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage and I have earned enough money to redeem myself, I will be free from the hard labor."

"Um!"

Xu Changshou smiled and nodded. It was obvious that Hong Quan had a plan for everything he did.

He glanced at Duer and asked, "Junior Brother Du, when do you plan to be free from hard labor?"

Hearing this, Duer smiled even more bitterly: "I just collected enough money to send back home. It will take some time to break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, not to mention the late stage of the Nascent Soul. It is impossible to escape from hard labor in a short period of time. What's more, I can't afford the money to redeem myself."

"That's true..."

Xu Changshou was silent. Everyone wanted to escape from hard labor, but not everyone could.

Given Duer's situation, he will never be able to escape from hard labor unless he works for a few hundred years.

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou filled the glass with wine, and felt a little sympathetic towards Duer. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Duer, I toast you."

"drink!"

Duer picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, seeming to be in a bad mood.

Hong Quan frowned: "Junior Brother Du, drink less, you still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Go to work, I need to take tomorrow off."

Duer slammed the table and suddenly burst into emotion. For a moment, everyone in the pub was alarmed.

Those drinking in the tavern were all convicts. Seeing this, they all shook their heads and understood Duer's behavior.

"Alright, alright, Junior Brother Du, things will get better slowly."

"Yes, yes, Junior Brother Du, everything will be fine."

Xu Changshou and Hong Quan tried to persuade them.

They all knew that Duer had given all his money over the past decade to his family, leaving him with no money to make a breakthrough, and he was very depressed.

Soon, Duer calmed down, took another sip of wine, and consoled himself: "One day, sooner or later, I will be free from hard labor."

Duer drank in silence, and Xu Changshou picked up another glass of wine: "Brother Hong, let's have a drink."

"Okay, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't drink too much."

"As you wish."

“Okay, okay!”

"By the way, Senior Brother Hong, do you know what conditions are needed to escape from hard labor?"

Xu Changshou put down his wine glass and asked.

"Forehead……"

Hong Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, to escape from hard labor, three conditions must be met."

"Which three?"

"First, pay 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones to redeem yourself."

"Um!"

Xu Changshou nodded. He knew this. All hard laborers had to pay 100,000 yuan to redeem themselves in the end. This was one of the means used by the people above to harvest the lower-level monks.

"Secondly, to be released from hard labor, Senior Sister Li Ziyao needs her consent."

"Third, the lowest level of cultivation is in the late Nascent Soul stage."

"Is the middle stage of Nascent Soul not enough?" Xu Changshou frowned.

Hong Quan shook his head: "It's not that it's impossible, but a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul cannot survive alone. As long as you have money and can afford to pay the 100,000 spirit stones for redemption, even a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul can redeem himself."

"Generally speaking, if one has reached the late Nascent Soul stage and does not have any magic to show off, or even a top-grade flying sword, it is best not to escape from hard labor."

“I understand!”

Xu Changshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In theory, as long as you have 100,000 spirit stones to redeem yourself and get Li Ziyao's approval, you can be free from hard labor."

Hong Quan nodded: "That's right."

"I want to be free from hard labor."

Xu Changshou smiled. He had 500,000 yuan, so it was no big deal to pay 100,000 yuan to redeem himself.

As for Li Ziyao, humph! She had to agree whether she agreed or not.

Duer frowned: "Senior Brother Xu, please think twice."

Hong Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Junior Brother Xu, I know I can't persuade you, but listen to me, it's best not to leave the coolie, otherwise, whether you can survive or not will be a problem."

"Thank you both, I have made up my mind."

"There's no point in talking any more, just drink."

"Brother Xu, congratulations in advance."

"Hahaha……"

…

"Hahaha, Boss Wushuang, today's my treat."

"That's what you said."

"Let's drink to our heart's content today!"

There was a sudden noise outside.
