Chapter 3 Furong Body Tempering Sutra
The mother and daughter sat for a while enjoying tea, and as expected, Tang Wenhua arrived. Chunlan was really quick to complain. City Lord Tang didn't waste any time when he came and asked directly: "Yingrou, Chunlan has served you for many years, how can you let her go to the Outer Gate Garment Manufacturing Bureau?"
When Tang Yue saw someone coming, his eyes were filled with tears. Tears, as if he had not seen his relatives for several years, he said excitedly, "Dad, you are finally here. I haven't seen you for a long time since I was injured."
Tang Wenhua coughed in embarrassment, he had indeed forgotten these days. This daughter, however, was injured purely by herself. She deserves to suffer some pain, but it is inconvenient to express her true attitude. She can only scold her lightly: "Your mother and I are talking about business, please don't interrupt."
< br>"Father, are you here for Chunlan? I saw that she has a talent for making clothes, and I thought that you often said that it is difficult for monks in the city, and they don't even have good clothes, so I asked her to relieve your worries and take my place. Am I wrong to be filial?" As soon as she finished speaking, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, looking very sad.
Shui Yingrou became anxious when she saw her daughter crying, and glared at City Lord Tang: "I didn't expect that not only would my biological daughter not be rescued by her father, but she would also be wrong to show her filial piety. I think this Kunwu The city can no longer accommodate our mother and son!"
Tang Wenhua didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, and hurriedly advised: "I'm just asking, after all, Chunlan has served you for many years, without any credit or hard work, how can you let it go? She went to the outer sect to suffer?" Now he felt that the outer sect was suffering. He didn't think about this when he called others to share the same clothes and food with the outer sect disciples.
Tang Yue wiped her tears. After cultivating her internal energy, she could control her tears to fall at will. This skill is so convenient for acting in modern society, but her acting is not bad now.
"Father, you teach us to live a simple life like the outer disciples, so that we can practice hard and understand their difficulties. This is the responsibility we should bear as children of the City Lord's Mansion. Chunlan is a handyman disciple of the City Lord's Mansion. How can I suffer if I go to the outer gate? "
Tang Wenhua said this at the time, just because he didn't want to buy things for Tang Yue and save some money. He never thought that she would use it here, but he didn't want to go back on his promise. : "Okay, then let Chunlan do her part for the outer disciples on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion. This is her duty."
Madam Shui's face looked much better now. If she couldn't deal with a suspected handyman disciple, how could she be the wife of the city lord?
Recalling her past events, she felt that she had been underestimated by the people in the city, and felt that she was easy to control. For the first time, she broke away from the filter of love and became suspicious of the city lord's behavior.
Tang Wenhua didn't know Mrs. Shui's psychological changes. He just felt that he had not achieved his purpose by coming here today. He was not looking for something to do and felt uncomfortable, so he said to Tang Yue: "You are not young anymore. You have been here with your mother all day. You guys, you haven’t introduced the Qi into your body yet, what are you talking about? You are not allowed to leave the room from tomorrow on, and you will come out after you have introduced the Qi into your body.”
Shui Yingrou became anxious again when she heard this, Tang Yue said before her. : "Okay, father, I will introduce Qi into my body right now to show my filial piety."
As soon as she finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the wooden chair, made a hand seal with her hands, and the spiritual energy circulated, and in a moment she introduced Qi. After entering the body, I feel that the breath inside and outside the body is connected, and I have successfully entered the Qi refining period. She has been practicing recently and planned to introduce Qi into her body tonight.
Shui Yingrou was overjoyed. She had been worried about her daughter's spiritual practice for many days. Today she was finally able to embark on the path of spiritual practice. She excitedly took her daughter's hands and said, "Yue'er, you successfully entered the body! I knew it." You can do it!"
Tang City Lord was not so excited. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed about his face. He felt that Tang Yue was deliberately going against him. He became more and more displeased with her and said casually: "It's good to introduce the Qi into the body, but You entered the qi refining period relatively late, and you still need to work hard. Come to the main hall tomorrow to practice the Seven Star Sword with your disciples.”
The Seven Star Sword is the entry-level swordsmanship in Kunwu City. Everyone in the city can practice qi. The inner disciples and outer disciples of this period should practice swordsmanship together to exercise their body and mind. The Seven Star Sword is a good introductory swordsmanship, which helps to strengthen the body. It can be used to fight enemies at critical times, and is more effective in exorcising evil spirits and subduing demons.
It would be hard for her if Tang Yue just accepted it and made the city lord unhappy, so she nodded and said, "Dad, I will go."
City lord Tang reluctantly replied, Being left to eat again, he never liked Shui Yingrou's arrogance, and preferred a woman as gentle as water like Zhuang Qiaohui, who did everything he wanted.
For the development of Kunwu City, he accepted the business marriage and consciously sacrificed a lot. He was unwilling to come to Shui Yingrou on weekdays. This meal made him unable to swallow it, not to mention that he had long since gone without food, and eating was just To add some spice, he's not funny at all here.
Tang Yue felt inexplicably happy when he saw the city lord in pain, so he just kept him until midnight in the name of feeling his father's love. It wasn't until he looked like he was going to get angry that he stopped trying to keep him, and even went out of his way to create trouble before leaving. , "Father, tomorrow our family will go to Duobao Pavilion, and you will definitely buy beautiful self-defense magic weapons for my sister and me!"
Tang Wenhua thought about losing money tomorrow, and his mood became even worse: "Magic weapons We should focus on practicality, how can we look at appearance?"
Tang Yue listened in the left ear and out in the right ear. He was not tired and afraid of preaching, but had an innocent and admiring look on his face. "Then listen to your father. I don't think my father is like this. If you love us, you will definitely give us a very expensive magic weapon!"
City Lord Tang did not answer any more, and told the Shui family not to give any more gifts, and walked out of Mrs. Shui's Ruoshui Residence at a leisurely pace. With that stingy figure, I really don't know what Madam Shui saw in him.
In fact, Tang Wenhua cannot be blamed. Kunwu City is in the development stage and there are many places to spend money. He himself lives very frugally on weekdays. And when it comes time to put on a facade, City Lord Tang is still very capable. For example, the Scarlet Sky Sword forged for the male protagonist Chu Tianshu is made of valuable materials and treasures. He just uses good things. He felt wasted on a useless person like Tang Yue.
The next day, Mrs. Shui woke up Tang Yue very early and asked her to prepare to go to Duobao Pavilion. There is no other way, the hole you dug yourself, no matter how trapped you are, City Lord Tang will fall into it.
Arrived at the gate, she found that not only the city lord and his family were going, the original male protagonist Chu Tianshu was also waiting for them to go together at the gate. It seemed that Tang Wenhua had counted this lucky cultivation genius as his The city lord is the direct descendant.
Chu Tianshu saw that it was Tang Yue, his expression did not change, and he said hello lightly: "Junior sister, long time no see", Tang Yue also said "long time no see" back to him, and went up. The carriage has gone.
This surprised Chu Tianshu. Normally, Tang Yue always liked to cling to him and couldn't get rid of him when they met. Today, it was abnormal. Could it be that he was resentful of everyone after being injured? I need to remind A Wan later not to let her get offended for no reason.
At this time, the original male protagonist could not have any thoughts about Tang Wan, a nine-year-old girl. He just felt that Tang Wan, as a concubine, was soft-tempered and cute, and probably suffered a lot in the house from having a noble aunt and a domineering aunt, so He would take more care of his master's eldest daughter on weekdays.
After a while, Tang Wan got in the car and spoke to Tang Yue cautiously: "Sister, your injury has healed a lot, right?"
Tang Yue felt inexplicable, remembering the sisters getting along with each other. Isn't that enough? She didn't expect that it was the original male protagonist who said bad things, so she politely replied: "Thank you for your concern, sister, I'm much better now."
Tang Wan remembered that Tang Yue could already draw Qi into his body. Senior Brother Mingming She said that her qualifications for the Three Spiritual Roots were too poor, and it would take three to five years to introduce Qi into the body. She didn't know how many good medicines Mrs. Shui had used, so she asked: "Sister, I heard that you have already introduced Qi into the body?" Tang Yue wandered in a fugue. Tianwai was thinking about the classics he had read recently and looking for the context of knowledge, so he casually replied to her: "Yes."
Tang Wan wanted to find out what spiritual soup pill she had used. "What method did my sister use? Tell me, so that I can gain some knowledge."
Tang Yue came to her senses, this sister made her too dramatic, and she acted like a concubine. As the performance started, he let out a long sigh and spoke slowly in a tone that has experienced many vicissitudes of life: "Sister, you don't know my pain."
"Sister, you know, since that day I was playful, and I You accidentally entered the Spiritual Beast Academy together, my father... After that, I felt great inner pain. One day, I realized that I should protect myself, so I introduced Qi into my body."
Tang Wan. After hearing this, her face looked a little ugly. She actually said this matter like this. It was obvious that she had bad intentions and reaped the consequences. She also said that it was her father who was partial. , and I have no evidence to prove that she did it. After the ferocious beast went crazy, his father did save him first. Tang Yue was like a mortal, unable to escape and was seriously injured. He no longer had any moral advantage in this matter.
She could only say a few words of comfort: "Sister, don't be sad, it's just an act of father who can't have both at the same time."
Tang Yue used a trick to end the conversation, "Sister, you don't need to comfort me, I understand." As he said that, his eyes drifted out of the window, looking like he had seen through it. Tang Wan couldn't say anything else. After all, not being chosen by his biological father was a big blow. If he continued to say it, he would appear unreasonable.
The carriage finally became quiet. Tang Yue had no desire to communicate with Tang Wan, and she did not particularly dislike the original heroine. It was just that the two mothers had conflicts of interest, so it was better to maintain a harmonious relationship. .
Duobao Pavilion is built in the octagonal building in the center of the city. The carriage departs from the City Lord's Mansion in the north and will arrive after a while. Flying was not allowed in the city, so they took the Baoguang carriage with the logo to show that the relationship between the city lord and the palace was harmonious, and everything would be prosperous if the family was harmonious.
The master of Duobao Pavilion was already waiting at the door. After they got off the carriage, he ushered the passers-by into the box on the top floor dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, so that the distinguished guests did not have to crowd with the monks downstairs.
The commercial development in the world of cultivating immortals is very good. There will be auction pavilions in places where the population gathers. The main auction items are local specialties, such as high-quality Kunwu sword stones. In addition to making direct reservations with Kunwu City, Let's try our luck at the Kunwu City auction. Specialties from other sects will also be auctioned here and provided to the monks in Kunwu City.
The auction is based on different price ranges, from low to high. The value of the lot in front was not high, and no one in the box on their floor participated in the bidding, but Shui Yingrou also explained the lot to Tang Yue in a low voice, hoping to let her gain insights. On the other side, Chu Tianshu was also explaining to Tang Wan in a low voice.
Even though Chu Tianshu is 15 years old, he is about to form a golden elixir. He has traveled many times and is well-informed. In addition, he has an ancient compass with golden fingers for treasure hunting, which not only has the effect of treasure hunting. , and can also know the names, grades, and usages of all treasures.
After a while, Chu Tianshu asked Tang Wan to take a picture of a mysterious defensive magic weapon "Hundred Birds Chao Feng Skirt". Tang Yue remembered that the book described that the magic circle embroidered on this skirt was very Advanced, saved Tang Wan many times, and finally gradually upgraded to a top-notch magic weapon. It was originally filmed here.
Tang Yue didn't want to grab this thing either. The original owner's mother had too many good things, including several top-quality magic weapons and spiritual treasures. From time to time, he would give her some magic weapons to play with. The grade of treasures and magical artifacts is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow, and there are many magical artifacts that cannot be rated as high-grade, which are all considered as low-grade. She is now indifferent to treasures below the earth level. After all, she is the daughter of the city lord's wife, and she is a relative. Mom also comes from Wuji Mountain, one of the top three sects in Liuzhou Continent. If she were in a mortal dynasty, she would be considered a princess.
The exercises are already being auctioned downstairs. Some sects and families will auction their own secret exercises. This can be regarded as a way to promote the development of the world of immortality and benefit other monks. If you are lucky enough to meet a prodigal monk, you can also buy techniques that are usually not taught outside.
The exercise book on the stage now is called "Hibiscus Body Tempering Technique". It is a middle-to-high-grade exercise, with a faint green light lingering on it. It is a book that concentrates the spiritual essence of the monk's wisdom. The technique comes from Huayue City, and monks can use it to practice before the golden elixir stage. The starting price is one hundred high-grade spiritual stones.
However, this exercise is not more powerful than other exercises, nor does it speed up the practice. It only has the function of beautifying and rejuvenating the appearance. If a monk practices this exercise before his bones are finalized at the age of 16, his appearance will change. It will become more beautiful than it could have been.
This technique is very useless to other monks. Monks with good spiritual roots and good talents are born with good looks. As their cultivation deepens, their appearance will increase. Monks with poor talent cannot draw Qi into their bodies before the age of 16, so they cannot use this technique to beautify their appearance.
But this exercise was just in line with Tang Yue’s desire to become beautiful, and she also used medicine to catalyze the waste wood of the Three Spiritual Roots that introduced Qi into the body at the age of 8, so she immediately said to Mrs. Shui: "Mother , I want this technique!”
Tang Wenhua heard her saying that she wanted this technique that only had the effect of making her beautiful, and immediately scolded her: “Nonsense, monks should focus on practicing with a pure heart, how can they waste time? On the surface? "
Tang Yuexin said, this is because my life lies on the surface. So she looked at Mrs. Shui with tears in her eyes, feeling aggrieved. Shui Yingrou disliked Tang Wenhua's seemingly harsh attitude, but in reality he was not at all pampering. She was slightly dissatisfied and said: "It's just a technique. If Yue'er likes it, just give it to her. Why should I be so arrogant?"
She asked the accompanying disciples to put up placards and bid. Tang Wenhua could only say helplessly: "Madam, you will spoil her."
Shui Yingrou replied to him: "I will do this. A daughter, unlike you who has two daughters, a good disciple, if I don’t pamper her, who else will I pamper?" City Master Tang couldn’t answer these words, so he could only laugh and change the subject, and no longer stopped Shui Yingrou. Even if he spent money, he still had to maintain the superficial harmony with the city lord's wife.
Only a female cultivator downstairs was bidding for this technique with Mrs. Shui. Seeing that the bidder was from the city owner’s box upstairs, she didn’t bid any more, so Mrs. Shui offered the price of 150 high-grade spiritual stones. It’s not expensive to get this technique.
The next auction is the Kunwu Tianyuan secret realm token. This secret realm will be open to monks in the foundation building period to experience. It contains not only heavenly materials and earthly treasures, spiritual beasts and spirits, but the most precious one is the Kunwu sword stone. , every year, disciples find heaven-grade or even heaven-grade sword stones. Therefore, each sect sends people to attend the Kunwu City auction every year to buy some tokens and provide them to the inner sect sword cultivators, giving them a chance to get a good sword stone as their natal sword.
City Lord Tang introduced the situation to his family: "The main buyers of the secret realm tokens this time are Yang Gulan of Xuanyuan Mountain and Shangqing Gongji Chongguang. These two are the leaders of the younger generation of the two sects and hold important responsibilities in the sect. After the auction, , you juniors want to meet each other, there will be many social occasions in the future."
Tang Yue thought this was mainly for Chu Tianshu. He started making connections so early, and the male protagonist deserves to be Long Ao. sky.
She also remembered that Yang Gulan was a good sister of the heroine Tang Wan in the future. They had experienced many times together and had gone through life and death. Today's meeting could be regarded as laying the foundation for their future friendship.
Tang Yue felt that it was appropriate for her to show her face, but she did not intend to join the male and female protagonist team. She was a newcomer. According to tradition, only by staying away from the male and female protagonist could she save her life, so she only planned to join Ji Yang. Do it superficially. .
Her mentality is naturally inferior to Tang Wan's thorough preparation. Tang Wan carefully prepared a meeting gift for Ji Yang and Yang Gulan, and immediately won Yang Gulan's favor. Ji Chongguang's attitude was not serious, but he was very polite. But the gifts Tang Yue took out were all good things, and they were not rude. With a few polite words, it was considered a passable social event.
