I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 168 Reunion in the snow

Above the nine heavens, the four qi circles rotated, yin and yang merged, wind, rain, frost, and snow changed erratically, and finally turned into heavy snow like goose feathers, falling one after another.

In front of a Cave Mansion, Liu Qiqiang respectfully issued a message talisman and waited quietly in the snow.

Heavy snow fell and covered his body, but he remained motionless.

After a while, the door of Cave Mansion opened, and a cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

Liu Qiqiang shook a few times, getting rid of the snow on his body, and the spiritual clothes shone brightly on his body, bringing him bursts of warmth.

Entering Cave Mansion, Xu Mengyun glanced at him in the center of the hall.

Over the past few years, Liu Qiqiang has changed a lot.

His figure is not as thin as before, but has become richer. He is wearing all kinds of Spirit Weapons all over his body, showing his arrogance.

"I've told you many times, you can't be eager for quick success and quick benefits in cultivation. Just swallowing pills blindly will accumulate a large amount of erysipelas, which will affect your progress and breakthroughs." After observing for a while, Xu Mengyun spoke slowly.

"Senior sister taught me a lesson, and junior brother knows it." Liu Qiqiang responded respectfully, but he was thinking that the next time he came here, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy some quenching elixir spiritual water to remove the erysipelas from his body.

As for Xu Mengyun's statement that the foundation was unstable and difficult to break through, he didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, these days, spiritual stones are everything.

The foundation is unstable, a Solid Spirit Pill, too much erysipelas, elixir tempering spirit water, anyway, as long as the spirit stones are enough, in his opinion, nothing is a problem, and he can even buy a Foundation Building Pill.

"What do you want from me?" Xu Mengyun was so thoughtful that she naturally saw Liu Qiqiang's indifference, but she didn't say much and asked directly.

At the same time, she picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip, quietly waiting for his explanation.

"I wonder if Senior Sister has heard of the sect's recent announcement of the Leasing Cave Mansion Leasing Law?" Liu Qiqiang asked aloud.

"Huh?" Xu Mengyun frowned. She was busy practicing recently and really didn't notice what was happening in the sect.

"Show me these newly issued regulations." Xu Mengyun said.

Liu Qiqiang immediately handed over the jade slips he had prepared.

Xu Mengyun carefully sensed the information in it, bending her fingers and tapping her joints on the table unconsciously, she couldn't help but ponder.

Seeing Xu Mengyun thinking for a long time but still not getting a result, Liu Qiqiang couldn't help but asked: "Sister, I think this may be an opportunity for us."

"Oh?" Xu Mengyun responded noncommittally, "Tell me about it."

"We can use the excess spiritual stone resources in our hands to buy the right to build the spiritual vein Cave Mansion, and then after building the Cave Mansion, we can sell it to those Independent Cultivators at a high price to squeeze the spiritual stones from their hands."

“Not only that, we can also use some small means to allow those Independent Cultivators who have exhausted their wealth and die unexpectedly to give up the Cave Mansion as soon as possible so that they can continue to sell it.”

"We can also deceive the large and small forces under Azure Cloud Sect, and use their rich wealth to continuously increase the price of Cave Mansion. Then we can take advantage of the price difference..."

"Then have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" Xu Mengyun interrupted Liu Qiqiang.

"As the Cave Mansion continues to be established, the spiritual veins will eventually be occupied. At that time, the Independent Cultivators who could have survived in Fang City will be forcibly driven out."

"Those big and small forces with wealth will lose all their spiritual stone resources because of this and fall apart."

"At that time, the entire Azure Cloud Sect region will be filled with a large number of low-level monks who cannot survive in the spiritual veins. What kind of damage will this cause to the order, and what will be the final consequences? Have you considered it?"

"This!" Liu Qiqiang's expression froze, and then he said quickly, "Sister, don't worry, since the founder did this, there must be a reason for it, so we don't have to worry."

"Besides, the greater the risk, the more profit we will make. We can't miss this opportunity! And if we don't do it, some people will do it, and it will be a loss!"

"Do you only have spirit stones in your eyes? Do you live just to earn spirit stones?" After hearing these words, Xu Mengyun couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked.

Liu Qiqiang was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and he quickly responded: "What else?"

"We created the platform, haven't we earned enough spirit stones?" Xu Mengyun asked with a frown.

"There are never too many spiritual stones. Besides, senior sister, Senior Brother Lin Chen needs these spiritual stones!" Seeing this, Liu Qiqiang rolled his eyes and immediately changed direction and said.

Sure enough, when Xu Mengyun heard these words, she couldn't help but fell silent.

After a moment, she said: "Please step aside first and let me think about it."

Liu Qiqiang had a look of reluctance on his face, but he still bowed with his hands and retreated.

He knew very well that his current status was closely related to Senior Brother Na Lin.

Even though he is now the number one figure in the inner and outer sects and has a good reputation, if he makes that senior brother Lin unhappy, I am afraid that many disciples will immediately step on him and rise to the top.

Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Xu Mengyun have an extraordinary relationship, so naturally they cannot be offended easily.

Looking at Liu Qiqiang's retreating figure, Xu Mengyun was a little silent.

She herself can't be said to be a kind person, and she has no experience as an Independent Cultivator, so naturally she doesn't have much sympathy.

But just after hearing about Liu Qiqiang's unscrupulous behavior in order to absorb spiritual stones, Xu Mengyun had an indescribable emotion surging in her heart.

It's as if their monks live and practice just for the spirit stones.

"I feel like I became a slave to money when I was a mortal, but I didn't expect that after becoming a monk, I seemed to have become a slave to spiritual stones." Thinking of this, Xu Mengyun sighed lightly.

She always felt that this cultivator was really far away from the eternal life she once longed for, but looking around, it seemed that almost all the cultivators were doing this.

Earn spiritual stones, practice exercises, take elixirs, achieve breakthroughs, earn spiritual stones...

How come this immortal is so good at cultivation that he acts like a puppet?

A monk lives just for spiritual stones and elixirs?

Could it be that the immortality we pursue is to become a puppet controlled by spiritual stones?

No, actually there are still people who are different.

Thinking of this, Xu Mengyun stood up and walked out.

I don’t know how long it took, but in the evening, she came to a Cave Mansion.

Snow piled up in front of Cave Mansion, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.

"Aren't you back yet?" Xu Mengyun sighed softly and turned to leave.

But just as she was about to leave, she inadvertently turned to the side of the snow and was suddenly startled.

Because on the snow, a series of faint footprints could be seen, as if someone had just left not long ago.

Seeing this, Xu Mengyun hesitated for a moment, and then directly followed the traces in the snow.

Soon, they came to the top of a hill.

There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain. There is a stove in the pavilion. There is a pot on the stove. A person holds a cup and pours it down. There is a faint aroma of wine.

The man was in the pavilion, facing the snow and wind, thinking alone.

His back stood upright in the cold wind and light snow, thin and thin, but standing there, there was a kind of grace that embraced all the rivers in the world.

And the white clothes fluttering in the wind, under the falling snowflakes, have an indescribable sense of freedom and carefreeness.

It was as if all the disturbances in the world, honor, disgrace, happiness and sorrow, were all thrown behind by that figure.

At this moment, the figure on the pavilion seemed to have realized something. He turned around, looked at her with a smile, raised his wine glass, raised the glass to her, and chanted loudly:

"Green ants have newly fermented wine, and there is a small red clay stove. It's snowing in the evening, can I have a drink?"

"Sister, are you okay?"

At this moment, outside the pavilion and beside the ancient road, the sky was filled with dusk snow.

Dressed in snowy white and solemn purple, standing opposite each other, the young man's clear voice echoed.

The cold wind came through the mountains and ridges, blowing over the two figures. At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
