Shangyuque

Chapter 98: Wang Yulou, the immortal who settles accounts, and Qin Churan, who picks gold and turns it into water (1.03W, please give me a monthly ticket!)
If a cultivator with a weak faith in Taoism were to come and face the pain of tracing the meridians with the Guishui Qi method, he would probably give up quickly.

But Yulou is a man who doesn't know how to die. It's not that Yulou is stubborn, but too many coincidences have caused him to ignore the pain.

On the one hand, the Wang family arranged the most common Qi-Inducing Technique for the disciples with water and fire spiritual roots to practice during the Qi-Inducing Period.

The Qi Induction Technique does not have any special features. Its only advantage is that as the introductory technique designated by the Immortal Alliance for the Qi Induction period, it is relatively universal.

During the Qi Induction Stage, Yulou practiced the Qi Induction Technique for more than ten years, without feeling any sense of participation in the practice.

It can be said that, in a sense, the method of tracing the pulse of Guishui Qi is the first "formal method" that Yulou has come into contact with in the many years since he entered the world of cultivation.

Therefore, Yulou has a high tolerance for the pain in the practice process - he doesn't know how easy other methods can be.

On the other hand, Yu Lou before the time travel came from the East Asian civilization circle of a certain planet.

This civilization circle is quite special.

Especially, some people who are influenced by this culture like to believe in some nonsense like "only those who endure hardships can become successful people".

Even though some smart people later realized that there is always more suffering to endure, Wang Yulou was still not completely awakened in this regard.

Therefore, when Yulou discovered that tracing the pulse with Guishui spiritual energy was very painful, he felt a sense of security that was sad and absurd.

Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
Therefore, when Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a man, it must first make his heart and mind suffer.
There is a path to spiritual practice, and diligence is the way; the boundless sea of Tao is the boat to it.
苦？
It’s right to be bitter!

That’s right!

All right!

Thinking of the good times after achieving success in cultivation, Yulou encouraged himself in his heart, propped himself up, climbed up from the ground, and sat cross-legged on the cushion again.

Come again!

It hurts, it hurts!

It’s okay. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I can withstand it!
It hurts, it hurts!

It’s okay. The sea of ​​truck is endless and the journey is hard. I can handle it!
Wang Yulou, the unlucky time traveler from the East Asian cultural circle, was doing PUA himself while enduring the bone-eroding pain to control the Guishui spiritual energy to trace his meridians.

His cold sweat flowed like a stream, all over his face.

Those who knew understood that Wang Yulou was practicing, while those who didn’t thought that Wang Yulou was washing his face.

Just like that, finally, when he urged the Guishui spiritual energy to trace the meridians for the third time, Yulou successfully controlled the Guishui spiritual energy to advance a little bit in the meridians.

He looked inward with his spiritual consciousness and saw the barely perceptible expansion of the meridians. After repeated confirmation, he found that they had indeed expanded a little. Only then did Yulou feel relieved.

Just be useful!

pain?
But aren’t the plum blossoms fragrant now?

Hard work pays off, it’s worth it!
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Yulou was about to continue practicing when he thought of the pain of Guishui tracing his pulse just now.

"Today is only the first day of practicing the Guishui Qi tracing technique. The spiritual energy transformation has been completed, and the Guishui Qi tracing technique has also made some progress.

No matter how you look at it, you should be considered hardworking. How about we stop here for today?"

In his physical aversion to pain, Yulou began to deceive himself.

This is not his problem, but the limitation of human beings as a biological being - it hurts too much.

But soon, Yulou suddenly pursed her lips tightly.

If you want to slack off just because of the pain, then too many things can become excuses for not moving forward.

Therefore, when Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a man, it must first make his heart and mind suffer.
The road to success is not always smooth, but people who fail often have one thing in common: they are unable to control their own desires.

“Laziness is desire, and so is the illusion of security!
I, Wang Yulou, am not even defeated by pain!
Do I have to be controlled by my own desires?"

As he spoke, he closed his eyes again and mobilized the Guishui spiritual energy in his Qi Sea.

This time, even the Dripping Immortal behind the incense burner was silenced.

I am an East Asian superman. I even gave the Immortal Lord a little shock.

This is the case with Wang Yulou, and so are the millions of ordinary people in the country where he lived in his previous life.

It is precisely because it has such a spiritual core that it can create extraordinary achievements in a short period of time.
-
As soon as Wang Yulou got the position of the leader of Hewan Fishing Village, he assigned five things through Qin Churan.

He would fish with spirits every day, move to a new location for his residence, build a small wonder that belonged to him alone, build a sluice as a political achievement project, and finally gain personnel power through training.

Qin Churan is still young and may not understand the purpose behind Wang Yulou's demands.

But the recipients of her message were Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi.

One of them is in his fifties and the other is over a hundred years old. They are both very experienced and can naturally see Yulou's purpose very clearly.

"Seniors, if you have no objection, I will go collect the information of the Qi Induction Stage cultivators first."

After Qin Churan conveyed Yulou's words, seeing that the two old Qigong masters did not express their opinions, he assumed that they agreed and stood up and left without any psychological burden.

Now that he has secured Wang Yulou's support, he doesn't need to be afraid of these two guarding monks.

Wang Yulou was able to gain the position of leader of Hewan Fishing Village because of his strength and background.

Qin Churan was certain that, judging from the fact that Wang Yulou had directly entered the Bishui Palace to become an inner sect genius, his future prospects were absolutely limitless.

The Immortal Alliance-Ten Sects system needs to rely on the immortal families and small sects to control the grassroots, but the Dripping Cave system within the Dripping Cave Heaven is 100% vertically managed to the very bottom.

Now, as the de facto controller of Hewan Fishing Village under the jurisdiction of Dishui Cave, Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi do not have much room to refuse Yulou's orders.

"Old Cui, what do you think of Fellow Daoist Yulou's ideas?"

Zhang Xuewu, who was ahead in the flattery competition, asked his old rival with a smile.

"Of course I fully support it.

I grew up in Hewan Fishing Village. These brilliant ideas of Fellow Daoist Yulou were all based on the overall situation of Hewan Fishing Village.

Why would I have any objection?"

Cui Dingyi didn't care about Zhang Xuewu's smug attitude at all and knew his position very well.

As a local tyrant, he has already reached the limit of bullying Zhang Xuewu, so how dare he touch Wang Yulou's beard?

Even this confrontation strategy itself evolved from the high- and low-level matching of the monks guarding the river bend fishing village.

For the two Huachi Palace disciples who are in a competitive position, they need to surround the Bishui Palace disciples and fulfill their duties as guardian monks.

Cui Dingyi's cultivation level was already struggling. If he didn't gather some of his men to support him in a fight against another Huachi Palace disciple, how could he show his worth in front of Wang Yulou?
Confrontation is not the goal, demonstrating value that can be won over is the goal!
Cui Dingyi knew clearly what he wanted, so he would not have any dirty dealings with Wang Yulou because of a female cultivator in the Qi Induction Stage - a waste with such a narrow vision would not be able to cultivate from a mortal to a Qi Condensation Stage step by step!

However, after seeing Zhang Xuewu off, Lao Cui's expression was not good.

Wang Yulou looks young, but he is very capable. He showed his power by slaying demons, and in the shortest possible time, he transformed the power that was given to him by two high-level foundation-building cultivators into real leadership.

The first thing he did after gaining the leadership was to assign tasks through the mouth of Qin Churan, the Qi-inducing monk from Hewan Fishing Village.

If any problems arise during the process, Qin Churan can still be used to take the blame.

However, the tasks assigned by Yulou all seem reasonable and not excessive.

Cui Dingyi found it difficult to refuse any of them - it was not worth it.

But through these small, silent actions, Yulou achieved the goal of implementing his authority without exchanging any interests with the two people.

Zhang Xuewu will not have any objection, at least not for the time being.

After all, he is ahead in the game of serving the boss.

Some kind of illusory carrot full of possibilities is dangling in front of him, and Lao Zhang now just wants to be more loyal so that he can eat the carrot.

Cui Dingyi had opinions but did not dare to express them.

Because Yulou had such a good sense of proportion, the only thing that was a little excessive was asking for a spirit fish a day.

But is it really too much?
Cui Dingyi had also coveted the spiritual fish that should have been offered to the sect, so he couldn't comment on this one.

Disgusting, but he had to admit it. Cui Dingyi even became wary of Wang Yulou.

This guy seems to be a man who can make a lot of trouble.
-
On the first night in Dripping Water Cave, Yulou slept soundly.

The process of tracing the pulse with Guishui consumed a lot of his energy and affected his spirit, so that when he woke up the next day, Yulou still felt sore all over.

He put on his clothes and took out the first mid-grade magic weapon he had refined, the Renshui purple copper magic mirror with thirteen levels of restrictions.

Yulou saw that the person in the mirror had dull eyes and a haggard face.

He realized that he had to find a solution.

He can bear the pain.

The only impact is that you need to rest for a while after tracing the pulse.

But if you take your time, you can complete the pulse tracing.

However, if Guishui Tracing Pulse affects the recovery of the state and thus affects the speed of cultivation, it will be troublesome.

Cultivation is a matter of urgency, and tracing the pulse also involves tracing the characteristics of the Gui water energy.

Yulou wants to grab with both hands and make both hands strong.

Now he has determined that the effect of ordinary spiritual incense is too weak. If he wants to better assist in his cultivation, he must use spiritual pills.

just
Yulou first took out the Taoist notes that An Ning had accumulated throughout his life and began to read them silently.

An Ning was born in Fulong Temple. As one of the ten sects, Fulong Temple is very skilled in refining equipment.

And An Ning's attainments make him a master among masters of Taoism.

The robe he made from the spirit of the monster egg of the mountain-crossing dragon was so exquisite that even in person, no one could tell where it came from.

As a master of refining Taoism, An Ning's level of refining equipment is extremely high, and correspondingly, his levels of making talismans and refining pills are also not low.

Talisman-making is the basis of refining equipment, and alchemy is learned as a by-product.

However, after reading the various pill recipes in An Ning's notes, Yulou helplessly discovered that the things passed down by this predecessor seemed a bit too profound.

Many of the elixirs above are extremely effective, and may even be better than the Spirit Marrow Cleansing Pill. However, not only are the materials needed precious, the level of alchemy required is also difficult to achieve in Yulou within a hundred years.

The recipe in An Ning's notebook could not be of any use in the short term, so Yulou had to look up the merit exchange list of the disciples of Bishui Palace.

The price of the elixir above is quite affordable, and the efficacy is also in line with Yulou's current cultivation level.

"Spiritual Rice Essence Pill" - 15 points of merit per bottle. (Unless otherwise explained, it is assumed to be 10 points per bottle)
This pill is made of spiritual rice. In this small pill, a huge amount of spiritual rice essence is hidden. After taking it, it can restore the lost essence and slightly restore the overall condition of the user.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. This thing takes food supplements to the extreme. In the form of pills, it helps the user to refine spiritual rice, thereby achieving the purpose of recovery.

"Black Lotus Qi-boosting Pill" - one bottle worth twelve points of merit.

This pill is made of black lotus seeds as the main ingredient. It is not very effective in restoring essence, but it can replenish qi. The replenishment of qi here is not the kind of replenishment of spiritual energy in the magic pill, but the replenishment of vital energy. It is also a magic pill that restores the overall state, but the effect may be worse than the Lingmi Peijing Pill.

"Demon Meat Tonic Powder" - eight merit points per pound.

This is not a pill, but a spiritual powder with much lower medicinal strength and purity, but it can also be considered a tonic.

As the name suggests, this thing is the cultivator version of the Spirit Beast Food Essence and Blood Pill. It is said to be a great tonic, but its affordable price determines that its tonic effect is not that great.

After looking around, Yulou decided to buy a bottle of "Lingmi Peijing Dan" to try it out. Even if the effect is not good, this elixir will come in handy in the future.

He put down the jade slip, looked outside the door and shouted.

"He Lao San!"

Hearing his master's call, He Lao San, who had just been beaten yesterday, ran into the lobby happily.

Yulou found a piece of silver silk, used the talisman pen as a pen, and started writing.

However, after he finished writing, he realized that he had now left the family, and in the future when he sent messages via spirit birds in the Dripping Cave, he would need something to prove his identity.

So he took out another piece of crushed multicolored agate from his storage bag.

This agate was only the size of an egg. Yulou Yin Red Lantern refined the red light inside it for a few times, and without even using any spiritual water, he began to directly carve restrictions on it.

The three basic restrictions are naturally easy to set, and add one more layer of spiritual restriction that can carry the Guishui spiritual energy, and you’re done!
In this way, a small agate seal was made. This is Yulou's current level of attainment in Taoism.

A top-grade magic weapon might not be that good, but a low-grade magic weapon can be easily refined and used with ease.

Taking the small seal made of agate, Yulou pressed it slightly on the corner of the silver silk, and then picked it up.

On the silk, beneath the few lines of the message from the Jade Tower, a small mark appeared, with the words "Wang's Jade Palace" written on it.

There was still a black water glow on the edge of the mark, which was the effect of the Guishui spiritual energy.

The Wang family refers to the Wang family of Anbei State, which is the origin of Yulou and one of the bases for its foothold in the Wunan cultivation world.

Yuque is the name of Yulou. Using Yulou directly would sound too dull, and the immortal cultivation family does not have the feudal custom of naming people, so Yulou chooses to use Yuque as the name of the seal.

The small agate seal has four layers of restrictions, among which the soul-gathering restriction can retain the Guishui spiritual energy of the Jade Tower on the letter, making it more representative.

After the seal was stamped, the letter was considered finished. Yulou handed the letter and a small bag of spirit stones to He Lao San and said.

“Go to the Merit Hall of the Green Water Palace and find the steward in charge. If the steward accepts the spirit stone, he will give you a bottle of spirit pill.

If the deacon doesn't accept the spirit stones, you will just come back obediently, understand?"

"Gah!"

"No! Get out!"

He Lao San left with the letter and the spirit stone in his mouth, looking ashamed.

Yulou shook his head.

When I have more money, I will contact the Yang family and get a more obedient and useful spiritual bird or beast.

Apart from being handsome, He Lao San has flaws everywhere. He can only deliver letters in this life.

Of course, if a cultivator is particularly wealthy, he will often raise several spiritual birds and beasts. The ones used for traveling are specifically used for traveling, while the ones used for fighting and assisting also have their own special uses.

However, these are too far away from Yulou. At present, he can only make do with He Lao San.

"Senior Wang?"

Early in the morning, Qin Churan knocked on the door outside Yulou's mansion, interrupting Yulou's thoughts.

He smiled. Who wouldn't like a young female monk who wanted to make progress?

Even if Yulou didn't have any sexual repression thoughts, Qin Churan was a beauty after all, and it would be nice to just keep her by her side and use her for her business.

"Come in!"

Xiao Qin was wearing an entry-level robe made of spiritual gauze today.

Maybe the price of spiritual yarn was too expensive and she couldn't afford to buy too much, or maybe it was too hot in Hewan Fishing Village today and she didn't want to wear such thick clothes.

In short, Qin Churan's robes were so simple that Yulou was secretly shocked.

As expected, female cultivators who want to improve are different. They have a lot of subjective initiative.

Fortunately, Yu'an went to Fulong Temple. He was unfamiliar with the place, so he needed to stay low and concentrate on his practice.

If he came to the Dripping Cave, maybe in a dozen years, Yulou would have a bunch of nephews and nieces.

This is actually not a bad thing. Yu'an, who is the most sexually repressed, met a female cultivator from the Dripping Cave who practiced water magic and had a body as graceful as water. It would be good if she could give birth to more children for the prosperity of the Wang family.

Qin Churan felt a little disappointed when he saw that Wang Yulou didn't even look at him, but just sat silently in front of the Immortal Venerable's statue to practice.

She spoke respectfully.

"Senior Wang, the ingredients from yesterday's human-faced snake demon have been broken down. This is your portion. Where do you think I should put it?"

Human-faced snake demon material?

My share?

In an instant, Yulou realized something was wrong!

If the Dripping Cave rewards the monks who slay monsters with merit, and at the same time allows the monks who slay monsters to handle the monster materials themselves, wouldn't that be a double reward?
Where is the profit of the Dripping Cave?

The sect can't be a charity, right? How many spiritual fish does Hewan Fishing Village hand over every year?

The total amount of merit distributed by the Dripping Cave for a snake demon is worth about eighty points of Bishui Palace merit after conversion. The equivalent number of spirit stones implied by the merit values of Qingquan Palace, Huachi Palace, and Bishui Palace increases according to their levels.

The ratio of merit to spirit stones is 1 to 5. Eighty points of Bishui Palace merit equals 400 spirit stones.

Within one year, all the monsters captured in Hewan Village can be converted into three mid-level monsters in the small demon realm, and the reward for merit from the Dripping Cave will be 1,200 spirit stones.

The monks in the Hewan Fishing Village who belong to the Dripping Cave system also receive position rewards every year, and Yulou can get 30 points of merit every year.

In addition to the rewards for positions and tasks, disciples in the Qi Induction Stage and the Qi Training Stage also have to receive a salary in the form of spirit stones. Although the amount is not large, it is also an item.

When all these were converted together, the total expenditure of the Dripping Cave in Hewan Village easily exceeded two thousand spirit stones - and that didn't include the relief!
If a sect disciple sacrifices himself or passes away due to the sect's tasks and arrangements, the sect should compensate him regardless of his level of cultivation or status, right?

If we don’t make up for it, no one will believe in the sect’s teachings, which will be another huge expense.

Assuming that two Qi-inducing monks die in a year, each of them will be compensated with 200 spirit stones, so an additional 400 will be added.

The annual expenditure of the Dripping Cave to maintain its rule in Hewan Fishing Village reaches 2,500 spirit stones, but this is only the basic operating cost of the personnel and institutions dispatched by the Dripping Cave in Hewan Fishing Village.

Then, by converting the cost of maintaining the non-frontline support departments within the Dripping Cave system, and taking into account the fact that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation has high cultivation and high work efficiency, the cost of two thousand five hundred can be simply doubled - without further calculation, the cost reaches five thousand spirit stones.

Taking into account the possibility that he must have made some mistakes in calculation, Yulou decided to give a 40% discount on this expenditure and set the cost of ruling at 3,000.

In this case, Hewan Fishing Village would have to generate nearly nine spirit stones of income every day to maintain the positive income of the Dripping Cave's rule here...

Most of the fishermen in Hewan Fishing Village are warriors, but they are still mortals in essence. They can only catch ninth-grade spiritual fish, and the price of a ninth-grade spiritual fish is between one and two spirit stones.

Taking the middle value of 1.5, nine spirit stones would require at least six spirit fish to be barely enough.

Can the spiritual fish produced in the Hewan fishing village reach the point where at least six can be delivered to the Dripping Cave every day?

"What's the daily spiritual fish production at Hewan Fishing Village?" Yulou asked seriously. Cost control is crucial to an organization's survival. Only by keeping a clear account of the costs can an organization maintain its basic conditions.

Yulou discovered the problem with the Dripping Cave from the accounts of Hewan Fishing Village, and it was a big problem!
The accounting immortal Wang Yulou discovered the problem, but Qin Churan obviously couldn't keep up with Yulou's pace.

"Ah, Senior Wang, the spirit fish you requested is already available. Senior Zhang Xuewu sent you one, and Senior Cui Dingyi also sent you one.

In addition, there are three fellow practitioners in the Qi-Inducing Stage who have sent you three messages through me.

Everything is ready. I'll have my men waiting outside. After I report to you, I'll arrange for them to deliver it to you!"

Yulou was stunned.

One plus one plus three, that’s five spirit fish, and they’re all given to him, without asking for spirit stones.

Just a small test can gain so many loyal fans.

Is this what the life of a garrison monk is like?
"I'm asking about the daily output of spirit fish in Hewan Fishing Village."

Yulou, who was sitting on the futon, did not express his opinion, but asked again seriously.

How to say it, his question was so problematic that even the calm Immortal Lord curled his lips.

Damn it, you are doing this in front of me?
However, in the Immortal Venerable's cave, the Immortal Venerable's power is infinite in a sense. Even if Dan Ri stands in front of the Dharma image, he cannot see the change in the Immortal Venerable's expression at this moment.

Wang Yulou's question seemed too jerk, but Qin Churan gritted his teeth and said.

"About ten per day, sometimes there are eleven or twelve, sometimes there are seven or eight, and half of them have to be handed over to the sect.

As for the remaining half, you and the two seniors will take one each, and we, the cultivators in the Qi-Inducing Stage, will take the rest in turn.

But in fact, some people will not hand in the spiritual fish they catch, but will exchange them for cultivation resources in the store opened by Senior Cui’s son.

In fact, about fifteen spirit fish are caught every day. Some people eat the hidden harvest themselves, and some exchange it for resources.

If you want to increase the output of spiritual fish in Hewan Fishing Village, you only need to take over Senior Cui's shop."

Boss, if you want to generate revenue, don't just focus on the apparent output. That's too risky. After all, we've already taken half of it.

If you want to generate income, go find Cui Dingyi. That old guy has been in Hewan Village for so long and has embezzled a lot of money!
Wang Yulou did not answer, but stood up silently and lit three incense sticks to the Dripping Immortal.

"Immortal Lord, I, Wang Yulou, will definitely rectify the chaos in Hewan Fishing Village!"

He was not speaking to the Immortal Lord, but to Qin Churan.

As a native of Dripping Cave Heaven, Qin Churan has a deep respect for the Immortal Lord.

This is inevitable. They are guided and educated from a young age, and then reinforced with lessons on gratitude as they grow up. After joining the Dripping Cave, worshiping the Immortal Lord becomes a daily necessity.

Qin Churan is a normal person. At the same time, he is also a believer in the Immortal Lord and someone who has great respect for him.

"Chu Ran, some people are just trying to dig into the corners of the Dripping Cave and the Immortal Venerable!

As guardian monks, we all risk our lives for the safety of the Hewan Fishing Village, so taking one or two fish is not excessive.

But he secretly opened a shop and bypassed the sect's system to conduct private transactions. He was so audacious! So audacious!
Can you arrange for someone to secretly observe Cui Dingyi's shop for a few days to see how many spirit fish he has collected?"

Yulou decided to increase the intensity of Lao Cui's attack.

He is the one who is in charge. Lao Cui secretly collects spirit fish to make extra money and is poaching Yulou's customers!
If we can restrict the private trading of spirit fish and turn the spirit fish that are secretly escaping into spirit fish that are normally caught and handed over, it will be considered a "political achievement" of Yulou.

As a guardian monk, you must achieve some results, right?

It’s hard to say what the effect of a sluice gate will be. In the end, it may just be a superficial waste of time.

But increasing the production of spirit fish by torturing Lao Cui is the serious way.

Moreover, fishermen who hand over spiritual fish to the Dripping Cave will also be rewarded with merit, which will be converted into merit for Qingquan Palace, so there will be no loss.

They sell fish secretly, which is essentially exchanging personal contribution to the sect for family accumulation. In this regard, Yulou can take on the role of Cui Dingyi.

At that time, if you want to accumulate wealth for your family, you can go directly to Yulou without having to use middlemen to make a profit.

Yulou used the spiritual fish in his left hand to exchange for the achievements he had gained while guarding the monk, and used the spiritual stones in his right hand to exchange for the spiritual fish from the fisherman. He obviously did not spend anything, but he made money twice for free. Isn't it wonderful?
"Cui Dingyi cultivated all the way to this day under the protection of the Immortal Venerable, but he disrespected the Immortal Venerable's majesty in this way. He deserves to be punished!
There is no problem in arranging people. Among the Qi-Inducing Stage cultivators in Hewan Fishing Village, thirteen of them are not locals and have nothing to do with him.

I'll contact him and ask him to meet you first, so that it will be easier later.

Senior Wang, what do you think? "

Yulou nodded with satisfaction. Qin Churan was still very thoughtful and had great respect for the Immortal Lord.

The reverence she showed when she mentioned the Immortal Lord just now was not false at all.

Perhaps for those of them who were born in the Dripping Water Cave, loyalty is a reward in itself.

"But, what is the Qi-inducing method you practiced?"

Qin Churan was stunned when he heard Yulou's question.

Why did he suddenly ask me what Qi-inducing method I was practicing?
"Senior, Chu Ran is practicing the 'Picking Gold and Transforming into Water Technique', which can mobilize the two spiritual roots of gold and water for cultivation."

This time it was Yulou's turn to be surprised.

"Picking Gold and Transforming It into Water Technique?"

Yulou remembered that this girl had three spiritual roots: wood, water, and gold.

But he just practiced the Gold and Water Method, picking gold and turning it into water, picking gold and turning it into water
Another interesting point is that Qin Churan was the first person to approach Yulou after he entered the Dripping Water Cave.

"What kind of magical tools do you like to use?" Yulou suddenly asked.

"This"

Qin Churan could hear his heart pounding, and it was definitely not because of a falling in love.

Wang Yulou was so majestic that even though they were not much older than each other, she felt very nervous every time she saw Yulou.

But now, she was no longer nervous, only filled with anticipation and fear.

Expecting something and fearing that the expectation will not be met.

"Well, go get some work done, and find someone smarter!"

Seeing that Qin Churan didn't say anything, Yulou waved her hand and sat down on the futon again - ready to start the investigation!
Qin Churan felt uncomfortable when he acted like this. He felt hesitant and at a loss as to what to do. His face flushed with anxiety.

After thinking it over, Qin Churan put away the materials of the human-faced snake monster that belonged to Yulou.

Then, the female cultivator knelt on the ground, put her hands on her forehead, turned her back to Yulou, and bowed deeply.

"Chu Ran is willing to drive for Senior Wang!"

"Go ahead. I don't want the three spirit fishes anymore. Give these two spirit stones to my two good Taoist friends!"

Qin Churan left with great anticipation, but Yulou's heart could not calm down.

Power, power, power.

Power comes with strength. Wang Yulou only has a little bit of strength, but he has such power.

The Hewan Fishing Village is not big, with only more than twenty Qi-inducing monks and three Qi-training monks.

But the Hewan Fishing Village is also very large. It is the life of tens of thousands of mortals and the burial place of countless monks and monsters.

Now, he has become the leader here.

Yulou finally understood what the clan leader said - cultivation is everything.

The Anbei Wang family can send Yulou into the Dripping Water Cave, and make Yulou the "Qi-training ancestor" and "inner sect genius" in the eyes of the people in the Hewan fishing village.

But in the eyes of Danri and Xuanzhuan, what is the difference between Wang and Qin Churan?
Perhaps in Mangxiang's eyes, Wang was just a caring servant?

Thinking of this, Yulou silently activated the Guishui spiritual energy and began to trace the pulse.

But the energy consumed yesterday and the damaged state did have a huge impact. He tried several times, but the effect of tracing the pulse was very poor.

Finally, Yulou stood up and studied the materials left by the human-faced snake demon.

These materials were divided up by Yinqi Xiaoxiu, Yulou took half, and the rest was shared by the others.

The half he got included the back tendons of the snake monster, twenty or so monster scales, a large snake fang, and eighty kilograms of snake monster meat.

Among them, the most valuable is the back tendons of the snake demon, which has the potential to be refined into a top-grade magical weapon.

Of course, Yulou would not refine it this way. He does not have the ability to easily control the refining of high-grade magic weapons now. It is better for him to be safe and refine a medium-grade one.

Top-quality magical instruments look good and are expensive, but they are not necessarily easy to use, and they require a lot of energy to operate.

If you use a mid-grade magic weapon well, the effect can actually be very strong.

The defensive power of dozens of demon scales is not bad, but they only have the potential to be refined into low-grade defensive magic weapons. After all, they cannot defend against the cold iron flying sword, so they can only be considered average.

However, this snake fang should have the ability to activate the snake demon's innate spells, but it is not certain what spells it can activate.

The snake demon's power is of the water element. Yulou injected his own Guishui spiritual energy into the snake's fangs. After a while, the snake demon's innate magic contained therein could be activated.

Yulou naturally wouldn't make a big show in his own house, and considering that he didn't know much about Hewan Fishing Village, he decided to take a walk around the territory before the elixir arrived.

Well, let’s go on an incognito visit.

After changing into casual clothes, Yulou left the mansion.

The two warriors guarding the door were a little at a loss for a moment when they saw Yulou suddenly come out.

"That's perfect. You two can accompany me for a stroll. Follow me."

Yulou was in need of someone to explain things, so he took two followers and began his first patrol as a guarding monk.

"How old are you both?"

"Grandfather, I am thirty-two years old this year."

"Grandfather, I am twenty-seven."

Wang Yulou: ...

He now understood Zhou Yingxi, but he didn't worry about the address, but asked.

"What can acquired martial artists like you exchange your merits for at Qingquan Palace?"

"Breakthrough pills, Qi-inducing techniques, various magical weapons, and yes, spiritual rice."

Yulou had never expected that the warriors in the Dripping Water Cave could actually afford to eat spiritual rice. At the beginning, he only ate half a pound of spiritual rice a day.

"What are magic soldiers? And, are you saying that you can eat spiritual rice?"

"Ancestor, magic weapons are made of magic weapon materials. We cannot use spiritual power, so we can only use magic weapons as weapons to eliminate demons. However, after we draw in the energy, we can sell the magic weapons back to Qingquan Palace."

“As for the spiritual rice, it can help us cleanse the turbid qi, more quickly understand the essence of the innate, and achieve the state of attracting qi.

We can't afford to eat a lot, but if we eat a little occasionally, our strength will increase quickly."

To understand the essence of the innate, to reverse the acquired nature to the innate nature, and to recreate the five innate energies...

Yulou knew clearly that the trickle cave's method was just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, but every time he thought about it, he still felt a little bit of admiration.

Mortals without spiritual roots cannot practice cultivation - in fact, this statement is wrong.

The five elements of mortals are mottled, so their spiritual roots are not obvious.

The warriors in the Dripping Cave Heaven can recreate the five innate energies through the practice of reverse the acquired to the innate. If they succeed, they will become cultivators with five spiritual roots.

If the rules of heaven and earth did not restrict the speed of cultivation of Qi-inducing cultivators, in theory, everyone could become a Qi-refining, foundation-building, or even Purple Palace cultivator...

So, does the Immortal Alliance’s restriction on the Qi-Inducing Period necessarily have a certain characterization as just or not, good or bad?

Hard to say, hard to say.

In the Dripping Water Cave, the warriors had goals and hopes, so most of them ran very hard, trying to grasp that glimmer of hope.

Therefore, as the basic consumables, they supported the prosperity of Dripping Cave, but the price they paid was running non-stop on a road that would never lead to success, until they died.

He gave them hope, but also took away everything from them with this elusive hope.

Is such a dripping hole good or bad?
"Can you fish?"

"Yes, my two younger brothers are both acquired beginner fishermen. When they reach the intermediate level, they can join the patrol team."

"I don't have a brother, but I once caught more than 20 spirit fish in one year!"

"Well, how many spirit fish can Hewan Fishing Village catch every day?"

After hearing Yulou's question, the two warriors did not dare to answer because they were not sure of Yulou's attitude.

We can't offend the new guardian monks...

“Ancestor, this depends on luck. I remember that once, the Hewan Fishing Village caught more than 30 spirit fish in one day.

But most of the time there are only ten or twenty, maybe.”

Ten to twenty, maybe. He is a brave man, and he treats Yulou as a fool.

Stopping, Yulou looked at the other person and asked with a smile.

"You want to tell me maybe too?"

The first warrior who answered turned pale with fear, and his body began to tremble subconsciously, and he was on the verge of falling down.

"I dare not, I dare not. I have learned that Hewan Fishing Village can catch at least ten spirit fish every day. I don't know how many there are at most times, but they may not all be handed over."

Yulou stopped asking and walked onto the stone bridge silently.

In the early morning mist, the fishing boat dock at the fishing port was already empty, and the fishermen had gone out before dawn.

Spirit fish are good things, but Wang Yulou still can't be sure how much the daily harvest of Hewan Fishing Village can be. It can be said that it is both absurd and true.

It is known that the number of fish handed over to the sect by Hewan Fishing Village is four to six every day, so it can be determined that the rule of Dishui Dongtian here is a loss.

But apparently, no one cares about losing money.

The Dishuidongtian family is wealthy and powerful, so isn’t this a big deal?
Definitely not. The pattern of shining a red light on Qingxifang and taking every penny is the norm for the sect's rule.

The fact that Dripping Cave doesn't care about its apparent losses means that it can make the money back from other sources secretly.

So, where did the money come from?
Yulou's gaze stayed on the place where the snake demon died yesterday. The newly appointed Immortal Lord at the Immortal Lord's Dharma Assembly yesterday had been invited there.

Yulou saw that a circle of mortals surrounded the Immortal Lord’s statue, and were constantly paying homage and praising him.

For the next month, it will be at the place where the snake demon died, accepting offerings and worship from the villagers of the Hewan fishing village.

The Immortal Venerable's grace is being produced in large quantities by the governance system of the Dripping Cave, and it never stops.

Yulou, standing on the bridge, silently looked at the huge image of the Immortal Lord and thought of many things.
-
In the Bishui Palace and the Hall of Merit, the deacon on duty, Wu Faxian, also thought of many things.

"Your master is Wang Yuque?"

He shook the letter in his hand and looked at He Lao San.

"Gah!"

He Lao San raised his head proudly and called out, which was considered as his response.

“I don’t know Wang’s Yuque, and it’s even more impossible for me to exchange the Spiritual Rice Essence Pill for him at the price of eighty spirit stones.

Go back and tell him that if he doesn't have any merits, he can exchange them for spirit stones instead of doing all this nonsense!"

Early in the morning, Wu Faxian, who was on duty, was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by He Laosan.

The condition Wang Yulou offered was to buy the Lingmi Peijing Dan at the price of eighty spirit stones, of which Wu Faxian could earn a difference of five spirit stones.

To exchange the merits of Bishui Palace for spirit stones, one merit is worth five spirit stones.

You can exchange spirit stones for Bishui Palace merits at the rate of six spirit stones for one merit.

Taking into account that the seller of merit points also wanted to earn more in the transaction, the price offered by Wang Yulou could only allow Wu Fa to earn one spirit stone first - Wang's bargaining level was such that he could bargain to the edge of the aorta without asking!

Therefore, he naturally would not give Wang Yulou's spiritual bird even one elixir.

"Wang's Jade Palace? Old Wu, wait a moment!"

The deacon who came in to take over Wu Faxian's shift heard what Old Wu said and hurried to stop him.

"What's so special about this person?" Wu Faxian asked doubtfully.

The deacon on duty took the letter from his hand, glanced at it and said.

"This is the Wang family son sent by Senior Wang Xianmao of the Anbei Wang family himself. I think we should just comply with his request."

The Hall of Merit is the most lucrative position in the Bishui Palace, without a doubt, and everyone shares the income from it.

"The Anbei Wang family? I've never heard of it," Wu Faxian muttered.

"The founder of Mangxiang wants to obtain the golden elixir, and the Wang family is a vassal family of the Mangxiang lineage!" The deacon on duty explained mysteriously in a low voice.

Wu Fa was stunned at first, and then he exchanged a bottle of Lingmi Peijing Dan from the warehouse.

"I'll go there in person. I've heard of Fellow Daoist Yuque's great name a long time ago!"
-
Yulou withdrew his gaze from the distance and turned around. Behind him was Cui Dingyi who had come over at some point in time.

He smiled and said.

"Lao Cui, you are not honest."

Cui Dingyi was so frightened that he trembled all over and responded in panic.

"Honest? I'm the most honest.

Fellow Daoist Yulou is joking again, hahahaha."
