Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 54: Growth
A figure flashed, and a person appeared at the entrance of the Tiger Roar Valley. It was Tang Jie, carrying a large cloth package on his body.
There was a burst of ridicule in his ears, but it was a few students outside the valley. Apparently, seeing his embarrassment at the moment, they mistakenly thought that he was also driven out by the monster.
To be honest, he looks really embarrassed now - his clothes were burned when he dealt with the tree spirit, and his body was turned into a hornet's nest by the stones thrown by the tiger monster. Even if he is physically strong, he will not be able to recover for a moment. , causing injuries everywhere, looking extremely horrifying.
Tang Jie was not interested in paying attention to them. Instead, he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
When the package suddenly felt light, I knew that the little thing had woken up and noticed that the environment was not right and turned back into a flower. Then I opened the package and saw a bright green calyx lying on a pile of herbs. It looked delicate and sexy. drop.
Tang Jie smiled, put away the green calyx, then walked with heavy steps to the villagers, threw the package over: "How to collect these things?"
A villager checked the goods and said: "Including the piece of wolf skin you are wearing, the total is one hundred and twenty-one dollars."
"Give me a commoner."
The villager laughed and took out a piece of coarse cloth and threw it to Tang Jie: "This new one is for you."
"Thank you." Tang Jie found a deserted place to change his clothes. The villagers there had already counted the spiritual money and handed it to Tang Jie, patted him and said, "It's my first time here. It's great to be able to harvest these." Not bad."
"It's a pity that we still lost money." Tang Jie said calmly.
"It's a common thing, as long as you can save your life. This Tiger Roaring Valley is meant to let you feel the dangers of the outside world. Some lessons are hard to buy." The villager seemed to have some knowledge. He said casually.
Tang Jie smiled: "I am willing to trade my lessons for a thousand pieces of gold."
The villager was stunned, then laughed loudly, and just waved his hand without arguing with him.
Here Tang Jie returned to Tao Ranju with more than one hundred spiritual coins, but he was still upset.
Although he made a profit during this trip to Tiger Roaring Valley, the problem was all on Yiyi, but the cash return was not much.
He still owes Wei Tianchong 200 spiritual coins. He still has three spiritual coins left on him. In other words, he is still short of 76 spiritual coins. There is no place to make up for this shortfall.
This is a bit of a headache.
After much deliberation, I could only top it with the elixir I used for cultivation.
When Xie Fengtang gave him ten bottles of elixir, Wu Xing got back a bottle of Peiyuan Dan, and Zhuang Shen still had some elixirs. He has been frugal and used them sparingly, and now there is still a lot left. He has no choice but to Use some to top it off, it's enough.
His current allocation of cultivation is very simple. All resources are used to cultivate Li Jing, and all time is used to cultivate the mind method. Anyway, he is at the fifth level of the Jade Sect. Even if he does not take medicine, he will have no problem entering the mortal world within ten years. Therefore, Don’t rush to improve your realm.
When they arrived at Tao Ranju, Yiyi jumped out of Tang Jie's arms and shouted, "Brother, look, I've grown up!"
Tang Jie knelt down to look at Yiyi and said with a smile: "He has grown up, but he is still a little guy."
"It's annoying, people will always grow up slowly!" Yiyi put her hands on her hips and yelled at him.
Tang Jie held the little thing in his arms: "Yes, yes, Yiyi will grow up eventually. But it's no use just growing taller, you have to grow in abilities. Tell me, have you grown up in abilities?" ”
"Of course!" Yiyi pointed at a wild flower in the yard: "Brother, look!"
The wild flower has turned into a green calyx.
Sweat broke out on Tang Jie's forehead: "You have learned this a long time ago, right?"
"Yes, but I can't change at will. Now I can change many, many things in one breath. I don't need to drink your blood. I just need to rest for a while. Don't you want to use it to sell money? Now I can Yes!" Yiyi replied happily.
"The problem is that I don't need any money now!" Tang Jie was about to cry but had no tears.
Although silver can also be used to exchange for spiritual money, if you can earn two or three spiritual money from selling ten pots of flowers, you might as well go to work in the academy if you have that kind of time.
"Ability must also keep up with the pace of the times..." Tang Jie said seriously.
"Oh..." Yiyi prolonged her tone and answered half-understanding.
After thinking about it, she said, "What about this one?"
The little hand pointed at the green calyx before, and saw that the green calyx had begun to grow wildly. It soon grew to the height of a person, and the corolla also became huge.
"This is a bit interesting. It can actually promote plant growth...only green calyx?" Tang Jie looked at Yiyi.
Yiyi nodded seriously.
Tang Jie sighed.
"Any more?" he asked.
Yiyi replied reluctantly: "That's the only thing."
She pointed at the green calyx again, and saw that the green calyx suddenly seemed to come to life. The huge corolla suddenly opened like a sharp mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and bit Tang Jie. , biting his arm, but failed to move.
Tang Jie was surprised by what he saw: "Well, this is good, but it doesn't seem to be powerful enough..."
He didn't say anything. He only heard a popping sound, and a large ball of green juice spurted out from the corolla, splashing on Tang Jie's skin, which actually made Tang Jie dizzy.
"Poisonous? Not bad!" Tang Jie was already excited.
This green calyx can actually attack and spray poison, which is really good.
Only Xiao Yiyi turned her head away with dissatisfaction: "It's so ugly."
Her criterion for judging the quality of abilities is very simple, that is, good-looking or not.
The green calyx cultivated through her talent has long lost its original graceful appearance. It looks more like a ferocious piranha. The green mucus is even more disgusting. No wonder she doesn't like it. Liked it.
Tang Jie asked: "How much of this can you make at one time?"
Yiyi replied: "You can only have one flower at a time, and then you have to rest for a while, but it will always be there."
Sure enough, the mana is still insufficient.
Although eating the core of a tree spirit does not mean that you will have the strength of that tree spirit. Now Yiyi should be barely regarded as a low-grade spirit, but he is the lowest level among low-grade spirits. . However, as time goes by, its strength will naturally gradually increase, but it does not have extremely high requirements for cultivation like humans.
Of course, the disadvantage of natural growth is that unless there is an unexpected encounter like this, it will be difficult to increase the speed of the spirit's cultivation.
"By the way, does this flower obey your orders?" Tang Jie asked.
"Of course." Yiyi replied proudly, pointing at the green calyx: "This is my brother, don't bite him!"
Sure enough, the flower crown shrank back with its head and tail.
"I can also make it bigger or smaller." Yiyi pointed again: "Shrink it!"
The green calyx has actually retracted underground.
"Not bad, not bad." Tang Jie nodded.
The damage power of the single green calyx cultivated by Yiyi is actually very limited.
But the advantage of this kind of plant is that it exists for a long time and can be cultivated repeatedly. If enough preparation time can be given to cultivate a large area of poisonous calyx and win by quantity, it can definitely play a big role, but it is a comparison. The cost is much lower.
It is still worth it to exchange for Yiyi's technique with a sperm core, a magic blood pill and a few days of weakness.
Unlike cultivators, the spells of spirits are extremely difficult to acquire through acquired learning. Most of them are generated by devouring flesh and blood and combining their own characteristics.
Although this green calyx's characteristic of spitting poison doesn't look like Yiyi's characteristic.
No matter what, it is a great thing for the little guy to get this ability. Tang Jie was also excited. Unable to restrain his mood, he picked up Yiyi and kissed her hard.
"Ah! I hate it, I hate it, she's a girl, no kissing allowed!" Yiyi turned her head angrily, wiped her face on the ground, and spat.
Okay, it's quite similar, Tang Jie thought helplessly.
——————————
The next morning Tang Jie went to find Wei Tianchong and returned the puppet and money to him.
Wei Tianchong checked the puppet repeatedly and made sure it was not hurt before he asked him how the Tiger Roaring Valley group was doing.
Tang Jie gave an overview of his experience in the Tiger Roaring Valley. Of course, he skipped the last encounter with the tree spirit. He only said that he wandered around the valley a few times after escaping and did not return until the end of time.
After briefly talking about the experience, Tang Jie concluded: "There are many ferocious monsters in Tiger Roaring Valley, and it is not easy to gain something from it. With my current strength, it is still a long way to gain something from it. It was a very difficult matter, but this time it was thanks to the young master’s puppet that we finally made it through.”
"You haven't lost yet?" Wei Tianchong pointed to the medicine in his hand: "You have used the medicine to pay off the debt!"
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Some of the proceeds were used at that time, and there was insufficient cash. But young master, this is my first time to go, and I don't understand many things well. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. Next time I go, I will Seize the opportunity to gain more."
"Do you want to go again?"
"Of course. Young Master, Tiger Roaring Valley is the place where I plan to make money in the future. Even if I earn fifty spiritual coins once, I will have five hundred coins after ten times."
"But it wastes too much time." Wei Tianchong shook his head: "It takes a whole day to go to Tiger Roaring Valley. You may earn dozens of spiritual coins, but it also wastes a whole day. Training may not be much better. Moreover, Tiger Roaring Valley is not like training, where you make steady progress every day. It is very possible that you are not lucky enough to be chased by a monster today, which will directly cause you to fly out of the valley. In that case, you will lose 200 yuan. , it may take you a few days."
"This is natural." Tang Jie said calmly: "But just like I collect information for you and analyze your opponents, many things are about probability. As long as your strength reaches a certain level, the probability of winning will be greater than losing. Hu. Although the trip to Xiaogu is gambling in nature, it is ultimately based on strength. I am confident that with my current strength, I can win more and lose less."
"Then why not wait until you are stronger and more confident?"
"I am an impatient person."
Wei Tianchong’s expression became like that of a husky: “I really didn’t see this!”
"..."
Tang Jie had no choice but to say: "Then let me give you another reason. The puppet has been completed. According to the next plan, you have to rent it out. With the value of this puppet, I can rent it for thirty yuan a day. It's worth it, but other students may not think so. In that case, why not rent it to me? Wouldn't it be good for both you and me?"
"Then what should I do about the training ground?"
"Before you are not sure about being on the list ~IndoMTL.com~ it doesn't matter whether you have a puppet or not, improve yourself first."
Wei Tianchong thought about it and nodded.
Tang Jie smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Then please, Master, lend me another two hundred dollars."
"...I knew it!" Wei Tianchong reluctantly paid Tang Jie, and after thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Wait, why do I feel that something is wrong with this, Tang Jie."
"What's the matter, young master?"
"Look." Wei Tianchong clapped his fingers and said, "I lent you the money you paid to enter the valley. I bought the techniques you learned for you. I also paid for the puppet you use. I did it. I have never spent so much until now in my cultivation. How come all our family’s money has been spent on you? Have I become your Tang Jie’s bank? No, it’s not even as good as a bank, and the bank also charges interest. ..."
Tang Jie looked up to the sky and laughed, hugging Wei Tianchong: "Look what you said, young master, I am not renting, I am renting!"
"That's not right. You rented the puppet, but the rent is the thirty you mentioned, and I didn't even offer a price!"
"Then forty." Tang Jie said seriously: "Young Master, the puppets outside can't be rented at this price!"
"It seems like their puppets don't belong to me either, right? I don't think it's a problem to rent my puppet for fifty bucks!"
Tang Jie chuckled and said: "The young master is kind-hearted and generous to his servants. He is very kind to us. How can he care about us with this mere ten spiritual coins?"
"The problem is ten spiritual coins a day..." Wei Tianchong said, touching his chin.
"Talk about money hurts feelings, young master!" Tang Jie said seriously.
Wei Tianchong sighed: "It hurts money to talk about relationships, classmate!"
Although he has never seen Internet slang, he is now self-taught.
In the end, it was negotiated that the rent would be forty-five spiritual coins each time, with a monthly fee of 10% off.
