Beauty helps me achieve immortality

At the foot of Shouyun Mountain, there is the Dingzimo Courtyard.

The book of ordinary body-building exercises that I bought at the market last time was scattered on the ground.

Wang Shuyue pursed her red lips and gritted her teeth to silently endure the pain of body training. Her exhausted husband was breathing heavily, and sweat was dripping, tasting salty.

As the spiritual energy surged, the girl seemed to be on the waves, and her whole body felt like it was floating, and even her soul would be thrown out of her body by the waves at any time.

She fought with real fire, tears streaming down her eyes, gathering her strength and following the guidance of the technique, she twisted her waist and reversed her attack and defense.

Zhao Qing was defeated, and after releasing the last long dragon of spiritual energy, he fell to the ground.

He was exhausted and felt a little dazed. He seemed to see the silver earrings he bought for his wife half a month ago swaying in front of his eyes, up and down...

"Husband." His wife called softly, encouraging him, "Husband, don't be discouraged. You will definitely be able to break through the late stage of Qi Refining and be promoted to an outer disciple!"

He remained noncommittal and said weakly, "When you reach the Xiantian realm, I will take you to test your spiritual roots."

"I probably don't have any qualifications, otherwise my father wouldn't give up on us." Wang Shuyue smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly.

Zhao Qing was silent. After comforting his wife for a while, he reminded her to practice the exercises diligently and to ask him if she had any questions.

Then he began to meditate to restore his spiritual energy and continued to improve his proficiency in making the Qi Gathering Pill.

Early the next morning.

There was a knock on the gate, which surprised Zhao Qing.

Who would knock on your door?

"Shuyue, clean up the room, I'll go take a look."

After saying this, he straightened his clothes and came to the yard.

The person outside the door heard the noise and slowed down the knocking. "Brother, we are disciples from Courtyard No. 59, Dingzi, and we came here specially to visit."

It turned out to be a new neighbor...

Zhao Qing relaxed and walked forward to open the gate.

What caught the eye was a group of young men and women, standing in two rows, straight, looking very solemn.

"Brothers and sisters, please come in."

Zhao Qing stepped aside to welcome the group of youngsters into the courtyard, then closed the gate. They were visiting the neighbors, so innocent they must be the new errand disciples who had joined yesterday.

"I don't have much furniture here, so feel free to sit anywhere. My last name is Zhao, and my given name is Qing."

The leading young man carried a pot of wine and placed it on the steps, saying respectfully, "Brother Zhao, this is the wine I bought while strolling around Danxia City yesterday. Although it's not of high quality, it still tastes very mellow."

Zhao Qing glanced over.

The wine jug is small and exquisite, with a faint spiritual energy flowing on it, and it doesn't look cheap.

But this was just an appearance. He knew very well in his heart that there were many unscrupulous businessmen in Dongfang who specifically targeted Xiaobai. If he guessed correctly, this pot of wine came from there.

A group of young men and women came forward to pay their respects.

The leader, named Miao Jian, explained his purpose. "Brother Zhao, this is what happened. When we moved in yesterday, most of the Ding-shaped courtyards were empty. Only the gate to the last courtyard at the foot of the mountain was closed. After asking around, we discovered there were no new disciples moving in."

"I thought my senior brother must be extremely extraordinary, so I thought about coming to him to ask for advice. Now it seems that my senior brother is indeed unfathomable."

He glanced around the entire yard meaningfully. The fact that there was no one else living in such a large yard explained a lot of problems.

You know, their new disciples are all more than ten people in one courtyard. Although men and women do not live in the same room, it is still very inconvenient.

Zhao Qing listened to the other party's compliment and complained in his heart. Three Qi Gathering Pills every month, you can also have it.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, everyone didn't care. Someone asked, "Brother Zhao, we're new here. I wonder if there are any rules in this stove shop to prevent us from getting into trouble by being careless."

Zhao Qing couldn't help but think of himself when he first started, and he was just like them.

He turned around and sat on the steps and said, "There aren't many rules for menial disciples. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the outer sect brothers on time, you can move freely."

"Disciples in our Fire Kitchen are treated much better than others. We receive our missions right in the kitchen, and we can eat there. The sect's spiritual porridge is incomparable to ordinary food. Eating it regularly is good for your health."

"Although the Caofang and Mine Houses also come to eat, they are few in number. Mining can take ten days or half a month, so they don't have time to come here specifically for meals. The Caofang... The Caofang disciples live a more luxurious life and don't come here often, so you don't have to be too formal in the kitchen."

He continued to talk, making everyone's faces light up with delight. "The kitchen is great! The menial jobs are great! The tasks are simple and easy." That's how he'd been tricked back then, and at one point he'd even thought menial jobs were more comfortable than those of the outer or inner sect disciples.

But obviously, the reality is not like this.

"After completing the mission, you can go down the mountain and take a walk. Danxia City is under the rotation of our sect's senior brothers. Although the security is average, you will still be taken care of if you wear our robes. There are many sundries for sale in the East Square stalls, including scattered talismans, rare pills, and magical tools, but you need a certain eye."

Many newbies listened attentively. These were the detours that their predecessors had taken, and they had to remember them well.

"The South Quarter is closest to the city gate, and most of it is owned by senior brothers from the sect, including many alchemy workshops. The North Quarter is where independent cultivators gather, and you can buy spells, magic tools, techniques, and spiritual formations there. There are also houses for rent, and the rent is not expensive. If it's inconvenient for you to live in the mountains, you can go over there and take a look..."

After a long while, a disciple bowed and said, "Brother Zhao, I heard that the menial disciples of our Danxia Sect will be given three Qi Gathering Pills every month. I wonder when exactly this will happen?"

Sure enough, just like me, he came here for the Qi Gathering Pill.

"During the first ten days of each month, you can go to the Dan Hall to collect your donations. It is recommended that you collect them before the ninth day of the first lunar month. The Dan Hall is not open every day, and donations cannot be accumulated, so the earlier the better. If you really can't leave, you can ask a fellow disciple to collect them on your behalf."

After listening to Zhao Qing's explanation, everyone was delighted. This was not just recruiting disciples, it was simply doing charity!

After finishing work, you can wander around freely, with food and accommodation provided, and you can also get pills, so you don’t have to worry about life problems at all!

Some people have already begun to fantasize about a better life in the future.

"We can go to Beifang and have a look. Senior Brother Zhao said there are houses for rent there. Then we can come to the sect every morning to eat and work, and go home at night." A female cultivator became excited and discussed with her fellow sisters.

Some male cultivators also had beautiful fantasies. "Indeed, as long as we complete the mission, we can go down the mountain. We can also set up a stall in the East Quarter in the future."

Zhao Qing smiled but said nothing.

Sure, you can go wherever you want. If you still have energy after completing the mission...

Someone else asked, "Brother, what about Xifang? What's there in Xifang?"

Zhao Qing's smile faded, and he gave a rare warning: "It's best not to go to the West Quarter. There are all kinds of people there, and they are all seniors in the late Qi Refining stage, and there are even occasional Foundation Establishment seniors."

……

"What tasks are assigned to your courtyard?" he asked.

Miao Jian bowed and said, "Brother, we are responsible for carrying water, so I don't think it will be too strenuous. We can divide the total task, each responsible for a section of the distance, and hand over halfway. We should be able to complete the task quickly."

Everyone stayed for a while before getting up to leave.

Before going out, Zhao Qing considered giving something to his neighbor. But after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing at home. He couldn't give deer antlers or tiger penis, right?

He pondered for a long time and called out to the inside of the house, "Shuyue, bring us the spirit seeds we packed yesterday."

The girl carefully held the freshly dried seeds and walked out of the room.

Everyone was a little surprised. They couldn't see through Zhao Qing's cultivation level, but they could feel that this senior brother's wife must be a mortal without a doubt.

Although he was confused, he still kept complimenting her, which made Wang Shuyue laugh with her hands covering her mouth.

"Senior Brother is quite idle and has nothing. You have just moved into the courtyard, so it must be quite empty. You can plant these spiritual seeds there. With good care, I believe you will have a good harvest."

Zhao Qing watched everyone leave with a smile, as if he was watching how a new crop of leeks was growing.

It’s great to be young!
