Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 1: Homesick
.5.
Time flies, and more than three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Tao Ranju’s garden is now filled with fragrant peaches and plums and full of melons and fruits.
Yiyi is sitting on the swing in the orchard, swinging freely. A few years have passed, but Yiyi's image has not changed at all. Even though she has become wise, she still looks like the little girl she was before. Due to the essence of plants and trees, the essence has a long life and a very long period of maturity. Therefore, after growth reaches a certain level, the rate of continued growth will slow down significantly. A few years is just a blink of an eye for the spirit.
In contrast, Xiaohu is getting fatter and fatter.
It has now officially reached adulthood and is at the peak of the top grade. It has not awakened its bloodline yet, let alone enlightened its mind. Therefore, it is still living in a hazy state every day, living a life of eating and opening its mouth.
Yiyi is on the swing, wearing a flower crown she knitted by herself. She is swinging on the swing with her little feet and tapping the buds in the distance with her fingers. Under her guidance, fresh and tender grass emerged from the soil, sprouting green leaves and soon forming a green grassland, which seemed to encourage the growth of the seedlings.
This is an ability that Yiyi has mastered since becoming wise, which can make plants grow quickly. However, instant healing is extremely harmful to the medicinal properties of spiritual plants. If used on valuable spiritual plants, it will only waste good things. It is only suitable for some ordinary plants and used as fodder.
At this moment, several bighorn cattle were greedily munching on the evergreen grass that had just grown in the field, while the tiger cubs were watching with awe-inspiring eyes.
Tang Jie asked the junior students to get these big-horned cattle from the Tiger Roaring Valley. They are raised here as food for the tiger cubs. It is much better than always buying them outside. After all, spiritual food is not cheap, and the little tiger has a big appetite. Tang Jie can't let it go hunting all day long, so he can only raise a few in his own house as a supplementary source of meat. These big-horned cattle were frightened by the tiger cubs at first, but as time went by, they got used to it and became peaceful.
The thing that puzzles Tang Jie is also here. This little guy has eaten so much spiritual food, why hasn't he advanced yet?
For this reason, he specifically asked Wang Poguan. Unexpectedly, Wang Poguan was overjoyed after hearing this. He only said that the later the better, and he wished that it would not become wise in a hundred years.
A monster that has not developed its wits for a hundred years is basically synonymous with no future in the world of cultivation. However, Wang Poguan spoke so excitedly that even Tang Jie didn't know what to do. Tang Jie did not believe that Wang Poguan would have the idea of "let the child be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life". In addition, the origin of the Fenghu clan in Huxiao Mountain was obviously different from other tiger clans. Tang Jie It's somewhat clear.
I am afraid that this is the talent of the Wang Poguan clan, and it requires a relatively long period of growth.
Tang Jie remembered that in the ancient and ancient times, some great monsters had extremely long growth periods, and even their infancy took hundreds of years. Once they matured, they would at least be powerful beings at the Zifu Immortal level. He didn't expect Xiaohu to have this kind of bloodline, but considering that this little guy had three innate spells before his bloodline was awakened, he really couldn't say how big his background was.
After the evergreen grass in the field grew, Yiyi did not stop casting spells, but controlled some plants to continue to grow, growing taller and taller, entangled with each other, and connected with each other, gradually forming a thatched house.
This is a typical waste. Evergreen grass grows so tall that it does no good. Instead, it squanders the little spirituality it has and turns it into a complete weed. Yiyi didn't care, she just directed the grass to grow and built the thatched house with great interest. Not only did she build the house, she also extended it in all directions to form a platform, which looked like a pavilion.
Unfortunately, the work failed only halfway. The thatched house suddenly collapsed and turned into large blades of grass.
I was so angry that Yiyi jumped to her feet and shouted: "I hate it!"
"What, failed again?" Tang Jie walked out of the house.
Four years later, Tang Jie looked more mature than before. Wearing a robe, there is a sense of majesty in his movements.
This is the majesty that a cultivator naturally possesses after reaching a certain realm. The pressure of the realm of Ru Lan Yu comes from this, and now it is finally reflected in Tang Jie. But compared to Lan Yu's flying, Tang Jie's momentum seemed much more restrained.
At this moment, when he came behind Yiyi, Tang Jie looked at Yiyi with a smile. The little guy was pouting and sulking.
Ever since she became wise, she has always dreamed of using plants to make a palace like the ice and snow elves, so that she could live in the palace and become the queen of nature.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't create a palace like the ice and snow elves.
Seeing Yi Yi's angry look, Tang Jie said with a smile: "Every spirit has its own specialties, why do you have to learn from her? If you can't build a flower palace, how can the ice spirit do it? Your Qiluo Tianzhi?"
Qiluo Tianzhi is a spell that Yi Yi mastered after becoming wise. It is a super-wide group attack spell that is so powerful that even Tang Jie can't resist it with Wushuang Slash.
"But I just like the Flower Palace." Yiyi replied in a girl's unique way: "I don't believe I can't complete this spell... Jade Flower Palace."
Amidst the whispers, another piece of green grass sprouted from the ground.
Looking at Yiyi's serious look, Tang Jie didn't persuade her anymore.
In Tang Jie's view, Yiyi is still too far away from creating her own magic, and doing this is just a waste of time, but Tang Jie knows better that some things cannot be purely based on gains and losses.
In the process of focusing on pursuing a certain goal, people can often burst out with great enthusiasm, high concentration, and profound wisdom.
Yiyi is still young after all, and the self-created magic she pursues is like a dream, but in the process of pursuing it, she can benefit mentally. Because of this, Tang Jie let Yiyi go with just one word of advice.
Without paying attention to Yiyi, Tang Jie left the house and walked casually in the college. However, along the way, many familiar faces were no longer there.
Four years have gone by in a blink of an eye.
Peng Yaolong, Ye Tianshang and the others had already graduated. As leading students, and with their extraordinary performance at the Immortal Fate Meeting, they naturally joined the Xiyue Sect and became official disciples.
Peng Yaolong entered the Blood War Hall of the War Department, Ye Tianshang entered the memorial hall and became Yan Changfeng's subordinate, and Long Tao followed his father Long Ruohai and entered the worship hall.
Fengtang is the department of Xiyue Sect responsible for collecting donations from various places.
Different from Fengtang, Gongtang provides force protection and charges additional expenses. Its nature is more similar to that of a bodyguard. However, this bodyguard has a larger presence, higher qualifications, and more expensive fees. Fengtang is responsible for management. Donations in various regions, especially some important mining areas, planting areas, etc., are all responsible for the Fengtang.
If Gongtang is an arms dealer that specializes in selling weapons to external parties, then Fengtang is the tax department, and together with the existence of Shangtang, a state-owned enterprise, the three together form the three major financial pillars of the Xiyue Sect, which is also a big Fatty.
Qi Shaoming is still studying under Li Hongyang. The news came two years ago that he has also entered the transcendent world and is using his talent to quickly catch up and close the gap with Tang Jie.
Wei Tianchong just emerged from the mortal world at the beginning of this year. Although his qualifications are a bit average, with the performance of the Immortal Fate Club and his identity as the true successor of Changfeng, Wei Tianchong successfully promoted himself in eight years, and finally lived up to Wei's expectations. Trusted by the family. On the contrary, his eldest brother Wei Tianzhi failed to escape from the mortal world at the expiration of ten years. Now he has returned home, studying business and preparing to inherit the family business. Wu Xing, like Wei Tianzhi, failed to escape from the mortal world in the end, but he was in a very calm mood. After returning home, he followed the eldest young master and took charge of the business of Wei Mansion, and was responsible for the business dealings with Shouwang River. ——After returning from Hongmeiling, Wei Tianchong suggested that the family establish a communication line between Lingzhou and Shouwangchuan to traffic goods back and forth.
Tang Jie also lost his status as a servant scholar, but he still belonged to the Wei family, and his status was equal to that of the young master of the Wei family.
Shi Meng is still worse. He has low talent and no resources. Now, like Wei Tianzhi, he is wandering between success and failure. Fortunately, Tang Jie comforted him and promised to ensure that he would escape from the mortal world within ten years and let him Shi Meng let out a long breath.
But there has been no news of Cai Junyang's return. This guy has been absent from the academy for many years, always wandering in the world. No one knows when he will come back, or whether he has entered the realm of transcendence. But with his qualifications, there should be no problem.
As for Tang Jie himself, he has now escaped the embarrassment of entering the world for the first time. He is in the Hundred Refining Period, and every muscle and bone in his body is undergoing training. This is also the first transformation of a cultivator from a mortal body to a spiritual body. .
In the world of cultivation, many people believe that from this point on, a cultivator can be considered a cultivator in the true sense. As for the previous ones, they are just wandering in front of the gate of cultivation. When a cultivator reaches this stage, many things can no longer be solved by the accumulation of spiritual energy. Enlightenment, experience, cultivation, spiritual energy, secret methods, elixirs, and all kinds of requests come one after another. The requirements are complex and the changes are complicated, no matter how extraordinary they are, they can be solved. .
Walking on the forest path in the college at this moment, Tang Jie had arrived at the hanging table before he knew it.
After Tuofan returned, Tang Jie frequently visited this place for a period of time, taking on many tasks in exchange for some resources.
With the help of these cultivation resources, as well as what he had gained from the Immortal Fate Meeting, Tang Jie once again upgraded his physique to the initial stage of jade body. But at that time, Tang Jie found that it was difficult to improve his physique.
Whether his current body is made of secret techniques, it actually still has some hidden flaws. The biggest problem is that it is difficult for the physical body to continue to be strong, but there is no obstacle to his cultivation. However, as he entered the Hundred Refinements, spiritual energy was no longer the only criterion for improvement, and money could no longer solve all problems. Under the influence of these two factors, Tang Jie gradually became less and less successful.
When the students saw Tang Jie, they all saluted respectfully and shouted: "Senior Brother!"
Now Tang Jie has become a first-level senior figure in Xiyue College. Not to mention him, even Wei Tianchong is called senior brother by everyone.
I recall that when I first entered the academy, the brat was ignorant, lazy and lazy, but now he has become a senior brother like a dog. Even Tang Jie had to shake his head and smile bitterly, saying, "The sea has not changed yet, and human affairs are still different. ”
After saying these words, Tang Jie thought of the two elders of the Wu family again.
Tang Jie visited them several times when he was on a mission a few years ago. After taking the medicine sent by Wu Xing, the two old men were in good health and in much better spirits. However, Tang Jie's methods failed to deceive the two old people. In fact, the two old people had already guessed that Tang Jie had bought it. After spending some time with the two elders in Lingzhou, Tang Jie continued to practice. Unexpectedly, two years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this moment, an inexplicable emotion arose in my heart, and I wanted to go back and see the two elders.
Once this thought arose in his mind, he could no longer stop it. He happened to be at the announcement table at this time, so he simply walked towards the student on duty in front of the stage.
When the student saw Tang Jie coming, he respectfully called out: "Hello, Senior Brother."
Tang Jie slightly turned around and asked directly, "Do you have any missions in Lingzhou?"
The student looked through it, shook his head and said, "Not really."
When students go out, the college has rules and regulations, and they are not allowed to go out unless something happens. Therefore, college tasks are the best opportunity to go out. Whenever you want to go out to visit your ancestors, you basically have to pick up a mission first. For example, Cai Junyang is training outside and has a mission on his shoulders. It's just that this guy is so shameless that he never completes the task, but just takes the opportunity to get in outside. The academy doesn't care. Anyway, just follow Akari's rules.
For this reason, even if Tang Jie wants to return to his hometown to visit relatives, he has to take on the mission first, otherwise his one day off per month is really not enough to go back and forth.
At this moment, Tang Jie was greatly disappointed when he heard that he had not heard of it. He was just thinking about whether to go directly to Xie Fengtang to formally ask for leave, when he heard the student say: "But one of the tasks of the C-level sect is from Lingzhou."
"Level C sect mission?" Tang Jie immediately became interested.
This C-level sect mission is a mission sent from the Xiyue Sect and can be taken by preparatory disciples. As for higher-level sect tasks, even preparatory disciples cannot take them. Since it is a sect mission, the reward is also the sect's contribution. .
Because Tang Jie was recommended by Ming Yekong, he has been a preparatory disciple for a long time. In the past few years, he has taken on many sect tasks. His contribution to the sect has been accumulated, and all previous debts have been paid off.
At this moment, when he heard that a C-level sect was on a mission to Lingzhou, Tang Jie was overjoyed and asked, "Bring it to me and see."
The student gave the article to Tang Jie.
Tang Jie took it and took a look and found that it was actually a spiritual stone mine exploration mission.
There is a mountain north of Lingzhou called Yongsui Mountain.
Thirty years ago, someone discovered the Lingshi vein in Yongsui Mountain. Spiritual stones are energy resources in the cultivation world. Their value may not be very high, but their significance is extremely important.
After the Lingshi mineral vein was discovered, the incident of the purple gold mineral vein in Li State did not happen. The local small sect Shimen Sect immediately announced that it would hand over to the Xiyue Sect.
After the Xiyue Sect sent people to investigate, they confirmed that this was a small spiritual stone mine, and ordered the local branch to be responsible for supervision, while the Shimen Sect was responsible for mining. The Xiyue Sect received 28% of the revenue, and the Xiyue Sect received 80%. For the sake of the other party's self-consciousness, the Xiyue Sect acted more generously.
The vein has been mined for thirty years now. As a small spiritual stone mine, the Yongsui Mine is gradually depleted.
Not long ago, the Shimen Sect sent a letter saying that the Yongsui Mine has basically no more ore to mine. They asked the Xiyue Sect to inspect and confirm that the mineral resources are exhausted. They will continue to hand over spiritual stones, and life will be difficult.
Since the mineral vein has been mined for thirty years~IndoMTL.com~ it is time to dry up in terms of time, and there will basically be no problem. Therefore, the Xiyue Sect directly issued this matter in the form of a task to some low-level people. Opportunities for disciples to make meritorious deeds. There are not many contribution points, only two sect contributions, but for Tang Jie, the important thing is not the contribution points, but the opportunity to return to his hometown.
Yongsui Mountain is not very far from Canglong Mansion, and it only takes an hour to get there by Flying Sword.
After reading the mission at this moment, Tang Jie nodded and said: "Then I will take this mission."
"In this case, I will seal this task for my senior brother. Senior brother, please remember that this matter must be completed before the end of next month." The student replied with a smile.
Tang Jie responded: "Thank you for reminding me. By the way, give me two more mission certificates. I invite Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng to complete them together."
Those invited by Tang Jie to assist will not contribute to the mission. But all Tang Jie wanted was proof. Wei Tianchong, Shi Meng and the others had been away from home for a long time, and they already felt homesick.
Left with the certificate, the student looked at Tang Jie's back, suddenly took out a talisman and wrote "Tang Jie takes over the mission of Yongsui Mine", then burned it and turned it into a wisp of green in the air. The smoke dissipates.
