Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 2: Sect mission in Qingshi Town, collecting moonflower grass
Ji Qiu looked at Zhutao, and before he knew it, the little girl had great ambitions.

Zhutao usually doesn't do much work. Apart from his slightly rough hands, the skin on his body is quite delicate.

Ji Qiu turned his head and said, "No, you sleep on your own."

Zhutao couldn't hide his disappointment, lowered his head and asked: "Young Master...are you unwilling to have Zhutao..."

Although the Ji family is in decline, there are still several maids in the family. When chatting occasionally, they mentioned that Zhu Tao was beautiful and would marry Ji Qiu sooner or later.

She had already made preparations, and even asked for advice on how to...have sex.

Logically speaking, she should be the one who taught Ji Qiu this knowledge before he got married.

But Ji Qiu rejected her.

Ji Qiu looked at Zhutao and explained: "Before building the foundation, it is best to have full essence to ensure that the cultivation speed is fast enough."

"You're not even eighteen yet, so don't worry."

Zhutao was a little confused: "Isn't it right to leave the pavilion at the age of sixteen? I'm already old..."

It was difficult for Ji Qiu to explain, so he simply stopped explaining and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Zhutao lay down and looked at Ji Qiu's profile for a while, then suddenly smiled shyly.

The young master at least agreed to have her, and that was enough.

The girl felt sweet and at ease, and slowly fell asleep.

Ji Qiu didn't sleep. He closed his eyes and performed the basic exercise "Lingxi Jue" obtained from the Great Ling Dynasty, absorbing the spiritual energy and gathering it in his Dantian.

This technique can be used by all five spiritual roots. After practicing until early in the morning, Ji Qiu opened his eyes and felt the vitality in his Dantian.

The increase is very weak.

Lingxi Jue is the lowest level of skills. The only advantage is that all spiritual roots can be used. The training effect itself is very poor. Ji Qiu's talent is also average.

This caused Ji Qiu's cultivation to take a month or two to make some progress.

Normally, if there is no chance, it would be considered lucky to be able to build a foundation in 80 years.

Fortunately, after a night of meditation, my energy and strength were restored.

Zhutao also woke up, quickly packed her luggage and got some food.

ate.

Ji Qiu took Zhutao and set off to the west.

Without a mount, the forward speed is very slow.

From early morning to evening, it took a full day for Ji Qiu to arrive at the gate of Qingshi Town.

Compared with the towns built by the imperial court, Qingshi Town looks much more barbaric. The roads are not straight and there are many small roads between the buildings.

The hygiene on the trail is also very poor, and the turbid liquid smells bad.

Wanbao Pavilion distributes missions every morning, and at noon at most, the distribution will stop.

Ji Qiu had to wait until tomorrow to pick up some tasks, so he found an inn to stay in today.

Zhutao entered the room and complained in a low voice: "It's too expensive. It costs a penny a night for this kind of environment?"

Ji Qiu sat down: "There are a lot of monks and businessmen coming and going here, so the prices will naturally go up."

"It's okay. As long as you receive the assignment, rent is not a problem."

Neither the Great Ling Dynasty nor the Dao Alliance had a way to exchange money for spiritual stones.

But you can exchange spiritual stones for money in the market, and one low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for 1 taels of silver.

Only after building the foundation can one officially enter the path of immortality. This kind of monk is not short of money, so naturally he will not exchange precious spiritual stones for money.

But many Qi Refining monks like Ji Qiu still need to exchange some money to live.

Zhutao's eyes were worried: "Master, is there really no danger?"

"I can find a place to work and support the young master."

Zhutao originally planned to follow Ji Qiu and work in a restaurant or inn to earn money to support Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't take on dangerous tasks. I have plenty of time anyway."

"Earning slowly is enough."

Even if you only earn one low-grade spirit stone every day, you can earn an acre of spirit stones in a spiritual field in less than two years.

For a monk, two years is just a blink of an eye.

Zhutao asked: "Then I should also find something to do? It's better for two people to make money faster than one person."

Ji Qiu took a sip of water and said, "Just stay in the inn. There is a market in Qingshi Town, and there are many people coming and going. It's a mixed bag, so it's not safe."

"The sect's restrictions on monks are not as strict as those of the Great Spirit Dynasty. It often happens that handsome men and women are robbed."

This is not to scare Zhutao. In the realm far away from the jurisdiction of Qintiansi monks, the world of immortality is not considered safe. Murder and treasure grabbing are not uncommon among casual cultivators.

If ordinary people were robbed, it would be nothing.

A bit of fear appeared on Zhu Tao's pretty face: "Young master, you won't be kidnapped, right?"

Ji Qiu smiled: "It's okay for the monk. After all, he doesn't know the other party's bottom line. If he attacks at will, he might get into big trouble."

Zhutao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'll listen to the young master."

gollum...

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden growl from her stomach.

"ah……"

Zhu Tao blushed and covered her stomach, trying to cover up the movement of her stomach with her voice.

Ji Qiu called the waiter, took out two coins, ordered four meat dishes and steamed buns, and had a full meal with Zhutao.

After the meal, the waiter brought hot water.

Ji Qiu took off his clothes and got into the tub, ready to take a bath.

Just as he entered the bucket, Zhutao's figure appeared behind the screen.

Her voice was a little nervous and she asked in a low voice: "Master, would you like Zhu Tao to serve you?"

Usually when Ji Qiu is at home, he fetches water from bamboo peaches and washes it himself.But last night Zhutao showed his intention to do more for Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Zhutao walked to the tub, rolled up her sleeves, and wiped Ji Qiu's shoulders with a towel.

Ji Qiu asked: "Why are you blushing?"

"Hot...steamy..."

"Would you like to come down and wash together?"

"No... I'm dirty. I'll just wash it after the master has finished washing it."

Zhutao's face became increasingly red, and the blush even spread to her neck.

Ji Qiu leaned against the bucket, enjoying Zhutao's service and running the skills with his eyes closed.

He was actually a little hot, but for the sake of his immortal path, he still held it back.

Still have to wait for foundation building.

After taking a bath, the water has changed color.

It was a dusty journey all the way and I was sweating a lot.

Ji Qiu called Xiao Er and changed the bucket of water before letting the oleander to wash.

After everything was cleaned up, the two of them lay on the bed with a pillow between them.

Blow out the lamp.

The moonlight shines through the window lattice and onto the quilt.

Ji Qiu closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Monks in the Qi refining stage are not yet able to completely replace sleep with meditation.

Just after closing his eyes for a while, Ji Qiu suddenly felt a small hand reach out quietly and hold his hand.

He scratched Zhutao's palm, then held her hand and fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Ji Qiu got up early, changed his clothes, ate some dry food and went out.

After leaving the inn and walking along one of the few roads in the town, Ji Qiu soon arrived at a square.

In the northeast corner of the square, there is a platform.

Many people have gathered together.

Ji Qiu looked at them, feeling like a group of cattle and horses waiting to be fed.

Facts are pretty much the same.

Rogue cultivators, especially those in the Qi refining stage, are like a low-grade spiritual stone that can control cattle and horses for a day.

Ji Qiu also walked into the crowd.

When the sun rose in the east, a young man holding a scroll and wearing a black and red robe walked onto the stage.

He glanced arrogantly at the loose cultivators in the audience, and cleared his throat: "We are digging spiritual mines in the West Mountain. We will have lunch at sunset for two low-grade spiritual stones."

"I come!"

"I'm coming too!"

Upon hearing that there were two low-grade spiritual stones, many people raised their hands excitedly.

Digging the spirit stone mine is a relatively leisurely and safe task, and the rewards are relatively large.

Ji Qiu also raised his hand.

The man on the stage glanced around, his eyes flickering across Ji Qiu's face, and a trace of jealousy flashed across his face.

He picked 10 people.

Ji Qiu was not selected.

"The second task is to collect moonflower grass from the back mountain of Yuejian Sect. 100 plants will produce 1 low-grade spiritual stone."

"The third mission, Yao Ze hunts the white tiger, and exchanges 1 white tiger spiritual core for 50 low-grade spiritual stones."

……

Ji Qiu is quite familiar with medicinal herbs and knows that Yuehua grass is a light blue medicinal herb that is shorter than ordinary grass and is easy to distinguish.

He took on the task of gathering medicinal herbs.

Then a sect disciple came over, raised his hand and threw out a magic weapon of a small boat, took Lu Qiu and eight other casual cultivators who were going to pick moonflower grass, and flew away in the air.

The disciple responsible for guiding him had at least the strength to reach the foundation building stage.

Many casual cultivators look enviously.

The resources that sect disciples can enjoy are very different from those of casual cultivators.

Ji Qiu was also among the crowd, waiting quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the boat landed. Ji Qiu and the casual cultivators were placed on the mountainside, and each of them was given an ownerless small storage bag.

The disciple said: "I will pick you up at sunset. Remember not to run too far and don't go out of the back mountain area to avoid hitting the forbidden area."

"Go to work."

After saying that, the disciple stood up and flew away.

This is too rich. Ji Qiu looked at the storage bag in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even this smallest storage bag has a market price of 600 low-grade spiritual stones.

When the Ji family was the richest, they only had two storage bags.

The Yuejian Sect is just a branch sect affiliated with the Tiandao Alliance, but its background is already so amazing.

Ji Qiu quickly regained his composure, chose a direction, and walked out.

Ji Qiu believed that he would be able to afford the storage bag one day sooner or later, so he still had to work first.
