There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Many people buy the Wind-Traveling Talisman. For early-stage Qi Refiners, it is very practical as it can help them escape and travel quickly, so there is no need to worry about selling it.

In one morning, Xu Changshou sold more than 400 Fengxing Talismans, and another 100 in the afternoon, and closed his stall early.

On that day, he sold a total of 500 Wind Talismans.

Five hundred wind-moving talismans were worth five spirit stones. Xu Changshou couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

What does five spirit stones mean? It is equivalent to his five months' salary.

Of course, at this time, Xu Changshou still had seven hundred wind-traveling talismans in his hand.

It took three months to draw the Fengxing Talismans, and the total number is 1,350.

One hundred and forty tickets were handed over to the sect, five hundred were sold, and there were seven hundred and ten tickets left.

Xu Changshou calculated that seven hundred tickets were just enough for five months of tasks.

He planned to practice in seclusion for the next five months.

Although drawing talismans can make money, he still has to focus on cultivation, and drawing talismans can only serve as an auxiliary.

If you just keep drawing talismans and waste the golden time for building your foundation, you'll be doomed.

Although a Qi-refining cultivator has a lifespan of 150 years, his true golden age is only 30 years. That is to say, if he does not build a foundation before the age of 30, it will become increasingly difficult to do so later on, and by the age of 50, it is basically impossible to build a foundation.

There is an old saying in the world of cultivating immortals: It is difficult at thirty, and impossible at fifty.

That's what it means.

Xu Changshou knew that his talent was not good, so he had to try every possible way to build a foundation before he turned thirty.

After returning to his own dojo, Xu Changshou immediately closed the formation in the yard without saying a word and began to retreat.

In a blink of an eye, two months passed.

In the past two months, Xu Changshou basically did not go out except to complete tasks and prepare food.

After reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, the difficulty of improving cultivation increases again, and the speed of cultivation decreases again.

Xu Changshou estimated that even if he took the Qi Gathering Pill, it would take him a year to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Now, he can consume ten Qi Gathering Pills a month, which means one hundred and twenty pills a year.

However, the resources he currently has are a bit stretched. But he will receive a monthly salary in the future, and with the monthly salary, it will be enough.

There are enough resources, but not enough time. In three months, the Wind-traveling Talisman will be gone, and I have to find time to draw the talisman.

At this moment, Xu Changshou finally understood the difficulty of cultivation for ordinary menial disciples.

It is impossible for an ordinary chores disciple to successfully build a foundation without the support of his family.

Even if there is a family behind him, under normal circumstances, the wealth accumulated by three generations may not necessarily be enough to cultivate a great cultivator who has established his foundation.

The difficulty of building a foundation is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

"It's time to hand in the task,"

Xu Changshou pushed the door open and walked out of the courtyard, just in time to meet Yang Bailao who was there to complete a mission.

The two of them went together to hand in the task.

After completing the task, Yang Bailao pulled Xu Changshou aside and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xu, tonight, I will take you to attend Senior Brother Zhong's retirement ceremony."

The so-called retirement ceremony is when a monk takes off his armor and returns to secular life after a hundred years, and before leaving, he invites fellow Taoists to a banquet.

Xu Changshou couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "No, I still have to practice tonight, so I won't attend Senior Brother Zhong's retirement ceremony."

He felt that he and Zhong Xiuping were not very familiar with each other, so there was no need for him to attend his retirement ceremony, not to mention that it would delay his cultivation.

Yang Bailao's face turned serious and he said unhappily, "Junior Brother Xu, what are you talking about? Can you understand the ways of the world?"

Xu Changshou scratched his head and said, "Brother Yang, I'm not familiar with Brother Zhong. I'm afraid to go..."

Yang Bailao's tone slowed down a bit and he said, "Junior brother, to be honest, all the errand disciples of Green Ink Peak will attend Senior Brother Zhong's retirement ceremony, regardless of whether they are familiar with him or not. Even Uncle Li will attend.

This is not a question of familiarity, but of social skills.

Imagine if you don't attend someone else's retirement ceremony, and a hundred years later, no one attends yours, how would you feel?

"This……"

This sentence left Xu Changshou speechless. He wanted to say: I want to build my foundation and will not hold a retirement ceremony.

However, if he said this, Yang Bailao would definitely say that he was arrogant.

If you think about it carefully, for ordinary menial disciples, there is nothing more joyful than taking off their armor and returning to secular life after a hundred years.

Therefore, the retirement ceremony of a monk is very grand to the general public.

Even if you become a great cultivator who has established his foundation, there will be a day when you will take off your armor and return to secular life. Do you still have the confidence to form a pill?

Xu Changshou instantly grasped the key point and said with a smile, "Brother, you are right. I will definitely attend Brother Zhong's retirement ceremony."

"That's how it should be."

"By the way, Senior Brother Yang, do you want to give me a gift as my retirement gift?"

"Of course I will."

"what to give?"

"Just follow your heart."

"Okay, Senior Brother Yang, let's go together tonight."

"Ok!"

"Goodbye, senior brother!"

……

During the day, Xu Changshou practiced all day.

In the evening, I went to the paper room with Yang Bailao.

Zhong Xiuping was in charge of guarding the paper room. The Taoist temple was located in the paper room, and the retirement ceremony was also held in the paper room.

When they arrived, a side hall of the paper room was already full of people.

Everyone from Green Ink Peak came, as well as some of Zhong Xiuping’s friends from other peaks.

"congratulations."

"Congratulations, Brother Zhong, for escaping the sea of ​​suffering."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhong, for returning to secular life."

In the side hall, Zhong Xiuping was wearing a bright red Taoist robe. People kept congratulating him and giving him small gifts.

Yang Bailao brought Xu Changshou to the scene. He took out an exquisite jade pendant and handed it to him, saying, "Brother Zhong, this piece of jade can calm the mind and dispel evil spirits. You can give it to the younger generation for protection."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Yang."

Zhong Xiuping patted Yang Bailao on the back, and the latter's eyes turned slightly red.

Zhong Xiuping was both a teacher and a friend to Yang Bailao, and his departure made him a little sad.

"Senior Brother Zhong, congratulations." Yang Bailao held Zhong Xiuping's hand, feeling a little sad and envious.

"Junior Brother Yang, please take a seat. You're welcome."

"Brother Zhong, this is a small gift from me."

Xu Changshou stepped forward, took out two bottles of Qi-replenishing pills, and handed them to Zhong Xiuping.

Zhong Xiuping nodded slightly: "Thank you, Junior Brother Xu. Junior Brother Xu, you can go and sit down too."

"Brother Zhong, congratulations."

"Brother Zhong, a little token of my appreciation."

"Brother Zhong, long time no see."

More and more people came to attend the retirement ceremony, and each of them brought gifts.

The small retirement ceremony was extremely grand.

"Uncle Li is here."

"Greetings, Uncle Li."

"Hello, Uncle Li."

"Uncle Li..."

Li Datu also came and gave Zhong Xiuping a jade bottle: "Junior Brother Zhong, these are ten Soul Gathering Pills, a small gift."

Zhong Xiuping took the jade bottle and bowed excitedly, "Thank you, Uncle Li, for the gift."

"Oh my god, it's actually the Spirit Gathering Pill."

"As expected of Uncle Li, what a generous gesture."

"Spirit Gathering Pill is a good thing"

……

"Everyone is here."

Looking at the packed room, Zhong Xiuping waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone is welcome to attend my retirement ceremony. I am honored to be here."

Zhong Xiuping bowed, saluted around him, and then said with emotion: "I have been practicing Taoism for a hundred years, but there is no hope of building a foundation. I have wasted my time in mediocrity and it is unbearable to look back. Today, everyone can attend the retirement ceremony of this old man. It is an honor..."

After Zhong Xiuping finished his speech, the banquet began.

The entire retirement ceremony did not leave any special impression on Xu Changshou.

All I know is that a few old men were drunk and staggering.
