Chapter 364 Observation
After taking the elixir, it immediately turns into spiritual energy and feeds itself back.
In the past, spiritual practice was a chore. Because of the lack of spiritual energy, it was very difficult to absorb spiritual energy. I had to look within myself.
However, the Tongmai Pill had limited potency and could not open the meridians throughout his body, so the refining of energy he sought from within was half the result.
This makes his cultivation stuck at the level of a semi-Qi practitioner.
Although he is an ordinary person, he is not an ordinary person. He is said to be a monk who cannot even compare with ordinary innate warriors.
Now, when a pill enters the abdomen, it feels like being in a river of spiritual energy, making people feel extremely happy, and the power of the medicine continuously spreads and fills the body.
Such practice is no longer a hardship.
Chi Xuan feels that his cultivation is changing every moment, and his Taoism is getting better and better.
This feeling cannot be explained to others, because it is too unbelievable, and others will wonder if he is crazy, so they regard this black bead that looks like a broken chicken as an elixir for improving cultivation.
Chi Xuan also has no intention to share it with others.
He knows very well that wealth should not be revealed, and it is best to make a fortune silently and improve one's own cultivation.
One day, he will be able to raise his cultivation level to a very high level, let the name of Red Sheep Palace spread all over the world, let his master know that he is the right choice, and he will definitely be able to stand out and become a great monk.
Exhaling some evil spirit, Chi Xuan opened his eyes.
He is very close to the third level of Qi training. Maybe catching two or three more evil ghosts will help his cultivation level advance.
However, the birth of evil ghosts requires opportunities, and ghosts do not appear just because a few people die.
Taking away the soul flag in front of him, Chi Xuan said thoughtfully: "We have captured all the ghosts in Ji County. If you want to find elixirs, you can't always stay here. I heard that monsters cannibalize people in Long County. Otherwise, Take a trip?"
Immediately he shook his head, and any monsters that ate people would be suppressed by the imperial court's Demon-Slaying Yamen, and there were even Demon-Slaying School Captains who patrolled the world. When encountering a major problem that the flag officer cannot solve, he will issue a jade tablet to request the captain's support.
With such strength, I have never heard of any trouble happening anywhere.
"Forget it, it must have been solved long ago, and I can't catch up." Chi Xuan gave up his idea, and it was better to search for the ghosts nearby. This not only had a reason to take action, but also caught the ghosts early.
Chi Xuan's life was so simple.
Practice, draw talismans, go out to try your luck, and then practice Feng Shui to earn some scattered silver.
Most of his money was saved.
The other part was converted into grain or exchanged into copper coins and distributed to the poor.
The poor will starve to death.
There is no shortage of people dying of poverty in any world.
Farming depends on God, and any change will make a year's hard work go to waste. The subsequent consequences are that you need to borrow usury, mortgage the land and become a tenant farmer of the landlord's family. If the profits continue to grow, there will be no room for improvement.
There is still land that can be mortgaged. If there is no land, then the sons and daughters need to be sold.
When the poor have nothing and even have trouble eating, they will get sick and need medicinal materials to treat their illnesses.
If you don’t have money, you can only sell yourself.
The streets of Dongshi are famous alleys for the population, where people kneel and clearly mark their prices.
Chi Xuan walked through the long alley, and hiding beside the low eaves of the alley was a short and thin young man. He lowered his head and held something bulging in his arms.
The sound of dense footsteps sounded.
Several fierce-looking people who looked like servants gathered around.
The leader asked fiercely: "Mr. Wang just passed by the alley and lost his money bag. It must have been stolen by you. Hand over the money bag quickly, otherwise I will make you look good."
The young man still lowered his head, shook his head tremblingly, and said in a weak but firm voice: "I didn't steal."
As he spoke, he unconsciously hugged the bulging figure in his arms tighter.
"Didn't steal it? What's in your arms?" The leading servant didn't believe the boy's lies. These brats were full of lies and it was best to get something for nothing. They had three hands and they wouldn't admit it until they were found.
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the package in the boy's arms.
"No!" The young man hugged her tightly, looking fiercely like a wild dog.
The servant was startled and said angrily: "Hold him down, I want to search him."
Several servants around him took action and grabbed the young man. No matter how hard the young man struggled, it was to no avail. The ferocity in the boy's eyes turned into panic, worry, and anger, and he yelled: "Don't touch him."
The servant grabbed the package and was about to snatch it from the young man's arms.
He only felt that his arms could not move. When he looked over, he realized that a big hand had grasped his wrist, holding him firmly in place like a shackle. The huge force made him involuntarily let go of his hand.
"This little benefactor said he didn't steal the money bag. Pindao just made a fortune telling that the money bag was in Rouge's shop just now and was not left here." Chi Xuan said kindly with a smile on his face.
"伱...you."
Chi Xuan raised his fist, clenched his iron fist and said: "Pint Dao Chi Xuan, Chiyang Palace is Pin Dao's dojo. Mr. Wang once invited Pin Dao to see the feng shui of Yin Mansion. He has learned several kung fu, and several No match for Pindao."
"Taoist Priest, please spare my life." The servants around who were ready to make a move stepped back. They had heard of Chi Xuan's name.
In Jixian County, Chi Xuan's reputation is much better known for his ability to catch ghosts and monsters, and to control geomantic omen, and he has great magical powers.
If they offend Chi Xuan because of this, Mr. Wang will also punish them.
Chi Xuan let go of the servant's arm.
The servants fled quickly.
Chi Xuan said hurriedly: "Don't forget to go to Rouge Shop to pick up the money bag you left behind."
As for why he knew he was at the Rouge Shop, it was not calculated by magic at all. The bank was opposite the Rouge Shop and he just saw it on the way.
All the servants fled, and the young man who had been pinned down quickly hugged the package and shrank back under the eaves.
Chi Xuan took out a small abacus, moved two beads, looked at the dirty young man and said: "Little donor, I saved you. I wonder what the little donor wants to donate to me?"
"What?"
"I don't care whether it's money or food." Chi Xuan answered the young man's question.
The young man still lowered his head: "I have no money, I only have this."
As he spoke, he took out half a piece of bark with teeth marks from his arms.
It was a piece of elm bark. The flesh looked dark and devoid of any fresh appearance. This is one of the few edible tree barks, which is a rare good thing for such disaster victims.
nice one?
Chi Xuan's complexion changed slightly.
When did he think tree bark was a good thing?
He took out a piece of steamed bun from his sleeve robe and handed it to the young man: "Take it."
The young man looked at the piece of steamed bun, swallowed hard, and wanted to reach out to take it, but finally retracted his hand: "I am not a beggar. My father said that you will not beg for food until you die of hunger."
"What about your dad?"
"starving."
…
"Old man Chen, Pindao has found a buddy for you."
The Taoist priest's loud voice shocked the old man in coarse cloth in the back room. He quickly came out, opened the door curtain, and saw the Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and baring his big teeth.
Old man Chen wiped his hands and looked at the Taoist priest with some confusion: "Did the Taoist priest change his rhetoric today?"
He only saw a solitary Taoist priest, not a man like that.
Chi Xuan waved and let the door open. The young man holding the package outside the door poked his head and walked into the tavern with vigilance. His eyes were looking around, as if he would run away if he found anything wrong.
"No wages, just take care of the food."
"Since it was the Taoist priest who said it, the little old man just thinks he has an extra mouth to eat."
"There are two, and there is a smaller one."
"Is this a baby?" Old Man Chen was really frightened. He didn't expect that there would be a little baby wrapped in the package. It looked like he was less than one year old. Although he looked sick, he was still living tenaciously.
Chi Xuan took out five taels of silver and handed it to Old Man Chen.
"The Taoist priest can't do it. If it weren't for you, my mother-in-law would definitely be killed by evil spirits. It just so happens that we, the old couple, have no heirs. It's great to have someone like this by our side."
"Don't refuse, this is from Pindao." Chi Xuan put the money into old man Chen's hand.
Old Man Chen couldn't help but accept it.
Chi Xuan turned around and was about to leave, but he felt his clothes being held by small hands. The young man looked up at Chi Xuan and asked, "Are you a kidnapper?"
"Hahaha, which kidnapper have you seen who doesn't accept money and still pays back?" Chi Xuan lamented that he didn't receive any reward, but instead paid five taels of silver. This was by no means a small amount.
"I will pay you back."
"Then I'll wait for you to pay back the money."
Chi Xuan waved his hand and walked out of the tavern with his hands behind his back. He actually wanted to accept a disciple, but neither of them had the spiritual roots of a monk. It was not a good thing to see such a world without spiritual roots.
All he can do is find a good family and entrust this big thing to him.
Fortunately, his name as Chi Xuan is quite useful.
…
Before arriving at Chishan, Chixuan heard noises and calls for help while passing by the path.
Gently, the body flew out.
It turned out that robbers and bandits were blocking the way, and there were several corpses lying on the ground. The young man in Jinyi who collapsed aside was frightened and shouted: "We are rich, my family is very rich, don't kill me, don't kill me."
The leader wiped off the blood on the knife and wiped his face, looking even more ferocious: "Brothers, if you want to gain a foothold here, you must establish rules."
"Tell me, how much money can you put out?"
"Two hundred taels!"
Upon hearing this, the leader hurriedly yelled: "Kill the fourth brother slowly, and leave a messy tongue."
"Fourth, are you deaf?"
"He's not deaf, he's just dead." A figure wearing Taoist robes appeared in front of everyone. With a push of his hand, the man known as the Fourth fell down and his body fell heavily to the ground.
It was Chi Xuan who appeared. He took out his little abacus, looked at the frightened young man in Jinyi and said: "Young Master Yang, a poor man kills people, one person and two liang, a young man and an old man without deception. I wonder what Mr. Yang has any doubts about? "
"I want Taoist Master Qian to the death!"
"No, no, no, Taoist Chixuan, help me!"
"So Mr. Yang has agreed."
Chi Xuan put away his abacus and said to the robbers and bandits who were coming: "Everyone can go on the road in peace."
