Chapter 40 My life is determined by money and not by God
Under the cold wind of winter, Cao Jinsong raised his head and sighed, then went to the Zongwu Pavilion in the outer courtyard, exchanged his waist card for his monthly salary, put it into his money bag and tied it tightly.
Although it is a sect operation, you still need to bring some money with you when you go out.
His monthly salary is not high, but he still fulfills his duty as a teacher.
At this time, the setting sun is like blood, and the fire burns the long clouds.
Cao Jinsong left Zongwu Pavilion and walked near Baiyu Terrace, where he saw a circle of students looking at the mountain gate and whispering.
"If you don't go to practice Taoism, why are you standing here?"
Cao Jinsong now feels angry when he sees students who can stay in Tianshu Academy but don't know how to cherish them, and he can't help but show off his dignity as a teacher.
Several disciples who were nearby heard the sound and turned their heads. When they saw it was him, they immediately bowed and saluted: "We have seen the teacher."
"Excuse me, what happened?"
"There is a girl at the mountain gate, which makes my Taoist heart somewhat enlightened..."
"?"
Taking advantage of the student's dodge, Cao Jinsong saw the scene under the mountain gate.
It was an immortal-looking woman, wearing a long brocade dress, outlining a slim and plump figure. She raised her chin slightly, and her eyes were cold and penetrating. She was standing under the setting sun, looking up at the mountains. The big characters of Shanmen.
Tianshuyuan has a sect-protecting formation in operation, and non-Tianshuyuan students must obtain permission to enter.
But the woman didn't seem to care. As she walked closer, her aura continued to release, and she was able to compete with the large formation blocking her without even taking a step back.
Ordinary students may not be able to discern the deeper meaning, but Cao Jinsong frowned slightly.
He found that the woman was full of sword energy and was extremely sharp, which even he found a bit scary.
At this time, the wind, waves and sword energy continued to surge, becoming more and more intense.
When Tianshuyuan set up a large formation, in order to avoid accidental injuries, the first level was just obstruction.
Ordinary students will not move forward if they fail to see what is going on.
But the woman didn't stop.
Then the second level of the killing array gradually began to glow with brilliance, and behind the woman in front of the array, a mysterious arc also lit up, as if something was condensing.
Cao Jinsong rubbed his eyes and was about to be horrified when he found that both the formation and the mysterious arc disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.
The woman suddenly walked into Tianshuyuan. At this time, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the white sleeves waving lightly on the top of Nishan Mountain, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
The seven Immortal Sects have been secretly competing with each other for many years, refusing to admit defeat.
She also just wanted to test the power of the Holy Sect's formation, but she didn't expect that someone would be invited in, and her appearance would be dispersed, while the heavenly secret here would be obscured.
After thinking for a long time, she raised her hands slightly and bowed towards the mountain, then walked onto the white jade platform of ascending to immortality.
At this time, students stopped one after another in the corridors and arch bridges of the outer courtyard and looked towards this side.
The woman's natural beauty is unlike that of an ordinary person. She is really beautiful even between her eyebrows. She stands gracefully on the white jade platform, creating a scenery of her own.
What's even more attractive is the clothes and accessories he wears.
The brocade dress was made of extraordinary material and seemed to be an extremely valuable magical weapon.
The two spiritual swords tied around her waist are also extraordinary, and the three spiritual hairpins casually inserted on her head are even more exquisite.
"Which ancient noble family is she?"
"I don't know, I have never seen it in the outer courtyard..."
"She's not wearing an immortal robe, maybe she's a senior sister from the inner courtyard?"
"How to see it?"
"How can our outer courtyard match such beauty of heaven and country?"
"This is the real fairy. Compared with her, even Miss Lu seems a bit tacky..."
The eldest lady of Yunzhou, Lu Qingqiu, happened to be at the Enlightenment Center and frowned when she heard the sound, but even so, she had to admit that the other party was indeed very celestial.
What caught Miss Lu's attention the most were the three spiritual hairpins on the other party's head.
The first mine that the Lu family dealt with back then was dug to the deepest point and a complete and huge spiritual core was found, which contained the most vast amount of essence of spiritual energy.
So Lu Qingqiu's father ordered people to forge it into four spiritual hairpins, three of which were sold at sky-high prices, and the last one was left to her.
It was precisely because she knew the price of this spiritual hairpin that she found it incredible.
Those who can afford these three spiritual hairpins are either blood relatives of the Immortal Sect or a thousand-year-old family like the Chu family.
Cao Jinsong couldn't help but sigh when he saw the reactions of the students around him.
The world is really going downhill, and we, Ji You, have never been like this!
At this moment, the woman frowned slightly and looked around coldly.
She seemed to have been used to being the center of attention for a long time, and she did not panic at all. On the contrary, this glance caused many onlookers to avoid looking at her.
Upon seeing this, Cao Jinsong rolled up his sleeves and left, hurriedly arriving at Yayuan opposite Bishui Lake.
Ji You, who had returned from Wan Zhuo Mountain, now had a bandage on his shoulder and was sitting on a stone bench under the osmanthus tree, with a bundle of chopsticks borrowed from the Immortal Kitchen floating in front of him.
Those chopsticks were filled with spiritual energy and kept flying in the air, stabbing left and right, cutting through the sky. Because they are too small, these chopsticks seem to fly in a chaotic manner, but upon closer inspection, you can see that their flight trajectories are exactly sword moves.
"What are you doing?"
"Stewardship of the sword."
Ji You moved his mind, and the chopsticks flying in the air flew back to the chopstick barrel with a "buzz" sound.
After experiencing two battles, he realized that multi-tasking was a huge problem that needed to be overcome.
If this is not resolved, his fighting time will be shortened a lot.
When fighting in a team, he can have someone to help him, but if he is facing the enemy alone, this will become his biggest weakness.
The solution is also very simple, nothing more than two.
The first is to constantly train your mind so that you can sustain yourself longer and be able to distract yourself more easily.
He has been doing this all the time and has never slacked off.

Another method is to form a habit of flying stabs, flying cuts, flying jumps and other sword moves used in sword control.
Habit is a very scary thing. The deeper the memory of the imprint, the less spiritual energy will be spent. It is equivalent to integrating sword moves into a shortcut key that can be triggered at any time.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good, at least the chopsticks in front of me can draw squares and circles.
After hearing his explanation, Cao Jinsong was a little confused, but he still called this boy extraordinary. However, after shouting, his mood quickly declined.
Ji You saw some clues and couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"
"The evil species caused chaos in the world, ate many disciples of the Immortal Sect, and also attacked the Dan Sect. The Administrative Council arranged many disciples to investigate, and finally locked the three ruins in Qiling Town, Yuhe Town, and Beisha Town. Now Someone needs to be sent in.”
Ji You couldn't help but think of the figures that kept flying away from the inner courtyard in the past few days, and he knew clearly in his heart: "Is there me?"
Cao Jinsong nodded: "Yes, the Council of Directors thinks that you are brave and unparalleled, and your swordsmanship is outstanding, like no other..."
"If they really felt that way, I wouldn't have been sent."
Cao Jinsong rolled up his large sleeves: "The previous words are true, but it cannot be ruled out that I hope you will make way for the family. After all, your performance in the hospital did threaten some people."
Ji You tapped the table with his knuckles and raised his lips slightly: "Have they ever heard a sentence that tells me that my fate is up to me..."
"I haven't heard of it, but there is a reward for this investigation, one hundred taels of silver."
"Huh? Are you rich? Then my fate depends on money."
The corner of Cao Jinsong's mouth twitched, thinking that this man really regards wealth as his life.
He sighed and took out his money bag from his arms: "I know you like these, so here are the expenses prepared for you."
Ji You glanced at it: "Forget it, you can save it for me first."
"Oh, this is a strange thing. Are you getting rich?"
"Things like money are meaningful only if you survive."
After hearing this, Cao Jinsong couldn't help but sternly said: "Don't force yourself to stand out when something happens. There are disciples of the inner courtyard who will go with you. If the sky falls, there will be no need for you to take risks."
Ji You nodded: "When will we set off?"
"It will probably be in three days, but I don't know how long the whole trip will take. If it is the inner court selection..."
"I will come back before the inner court selection."
After hearing this, Cao Jinsong lost his previous optimism.
Chu He is now only one step away from the upper five realms. After entering Tongxuan and supplementing it with pills, maybe his Tongxuan realm will improve quickly.
But Ji You is still far behind now, and without the help of the Heavenly Book, he cannot even guarantee the time to practice.
The most important thing is that there is obviously more than one person in the upper five realms among the planners of the evil species incident. If they really encounter one, their safety is uncertain.
"I have to tell Kuang Cheng about this..."
Ji You didn't pay attention to Cao Jinsong's worries, but thought about the arrangements for the next few days.
He decided to go to Shengjing tomorrow and tell the scholar what happened.
Also...
I also need to go to the Void Mountain to let the easily angry fairy know about this, otherwise she will lose her temper again.
Ji You is not very familiar with her now, nor is he not familiar with her, but it seems that it has become a habit to speak up when something happens.
"Cao Jiaoxi, I want to go to the Taoist Enlightenment Center."
“You’re still going to the Taoist temple to achieve enlightenment after all this?”
Cao Jinsong's lips trembled slightly, as if he was moved by being a teacher.
He was about to be transferred out of Tianshu Academy, but even so, he did not forget to devote himself to cultivating Taoism. Ji You was indeed different from those members of the aristocratic family.
