Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Half a day later.

In the waters where Jinma River flows into Minjiang River.

A large ship sailed southward along the water.

In the cabin on the lower level, Chen Yulou sat with his back to the window. On the wooden table in front of him, several ceramic basins were lined up.

The green seedlings swayed gently in the water breeze blowing in through the window gaps.

They were the five tea seedlings given by Taoist Yunsu early in the morning.

There are a total of three ancient tea trees on Shaping Mountain.

It is said that the oldest one was picked by Ning Fengzi when he was practicing in the mountains, so it is also called the True Lord Ancestor Tree by the Taoists on the mountain.

As for the remaining two trees, although not as old as the Zhenjun ancestral tree, they were also planted by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang when he fled to Qingcheng Mountain with Yang Yuhuan during the Anshi Rebellion. Therefore, they are called Minghuang Ancient Trees.

Three ancient tea trees have withstood thousands of years of wind and rain.

Every year around the Qingming Festival, Taoists go into the mountains to pick tea, which is then roasted using sixteen ancient methods to make Qingcheng Mountain Taoist tea.

It has also been a royal tribute throughout the ages.

It is rare for ordinary people to even see it, let alone drink it.

That is, with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the reputation of Qingcheng Taoist Tea has gradually spread among the people in the Republic of China. Among the pedestrians going to and from the mountains, in addition to pilgrims, many also come for the Taoist tea.

only.

It's also tea.

Only the tea leaves roasted from the tips of the three ancestral trees contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The rest can only be considered top-grade, but not supreme spiritual objects.

That is to say, it was ordered by Master Xingya.

otherwise……

Outsiders can't even enter Shaping Mountain.

There are Taoists who usually look after that place for fear that it might be destroyed.

Only the Taoist priests on the mountain were allowed to enter and exit after getting permission.

The only pity is.

After last night, the old master went into seclusion to practice meditation, and the few people did not meet.

I can only ask Taoist Yunsu to help take care of it.

Wait until we get down the mountain.

First, he went to the inn where he had boarded his horses last night, had a simple breakfast, and bought a few pottery jars in order to plant the tea tree seedlings.

Even just in case.

Even the soil was brought down from the mountain.

Of course, there is also a pot of spring water.

At this moment, the leaves of several seedlings are dark in color and they are full of vitality. It is estimated that their survival will not be a problem.

It’s those few tea varieties. I don’t know if it’s because they fell too long ago or for some other reason, but the color doesn’t seem to be enough.

"Congeal!"

He hesitated for a moment.

Chen Yulou uttered a word softly.

A wisp of spiritual energy condensed out of thin air and split into thirteen strands. Following his spiritual consciousness, they fell into the tea seeds bit by bit.

Driven by the nourishment of spiritual energy.

It takes almost an instant.

A faint crackling sound came from the tea seeds.

On the hard shell, tiny cracks appeared visible to the naked eye, spreading out in all directions like a spider web.

next moment.

Young seedlings emerge from deep within the tea seeds.

The speed is so fast that it seems as if time has accelerated several times for it.

Seeing such a magical scene, even Chen Yulou couldn't help but show a hint of amazement in his eyes.

This is the magical effect of Qingmu Changsheng Gong.

It is no wonder that when he first awakened this technique, he felt that this magical technique was completely prepared for spiritual plants.

In other words, so far, too few spiritual seeds have been obtained.

In addition, he is busy robbing tombs and traveling around the world, so he doesn't have much free time. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to find a quiet place, open up some spiritual fields, and create a blessed land.

The spiritual energy is still nourishing.

One by one, the young seedlings broke out of their shells.

This process lasted for nearly half a quarter of an hour.

Not until the spiritual energy dissipated did Chen Yulou heave a sigh of relief. He looked down and saw that out of the thirteen tea seeds, nine had successfully grown tea seedlings, while the remaining four had remained motionless from beginning to end.

At this moment, I use my spiritual sense to explore.

There is no sign of life inside the tea seeds.

"Nine out of thirteen."

"A germination rate of nearly 70% is acceptable."

He transplanted the emerging tea seedlings into ceramic pots one by one, then picked up the kettle and watered them again. Chen Yulou stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at the vibrant green leaf seedlings, his expression unable to hide his joy.

Plus the five plants dug by Taoist Yunsu and his team.

There are fourteen tea trees in total.

Even if, due to various reasons, not all of them survive, as long as there is a 50% guarantee, there will be seven ancient Taoist tea trees.

When this matter was mentioned last night, Taoist Xingya was confused. He couldn't understand why he wanted tea seeds instead of taking some roasted Taoist tea back.

At that time, he was just casually using his hobby of growing flowers and plants as an excuse.

but……

How could Taoist Xingya know?

With the Qingmu Changsheng Gong, one can make the tea seeds grow to the point where the leaves can be picked and fried into Taoist tea in just over ten years, or even a few years.

Before the path to immortality.

First of all, the word "Aoki" comes first.

Qingmu encompasses all green plants in the world, which is why he can not only breathe from the heaven and earth, but also absorb from ancient trees.

If you look at it this way.

If you were in a mountain forest with rich spiritual energy.

Even if the opponent is several levels stronger than him, he can rely on his endless spiritual energy to drain the opponent to death.

However, after being down the mountain and entering the world for so long, although I have met many cultivators, it seems that the Golden Elixir is a huge watershed.

Keeping the vast majority of people out.

It is difficult to go further.

No wonder the Golden Elixir is called the Great Dragon Gate.

Once you pass the big dragon gate.

From now on, you can break free from all the shackles.

Unfortunately, in the Dharma-Ending Age, how difficult is it to refine the elixir with a furnace of water and fire?

The two people closest to him are Taoist Xingya and Master Zhaohulu.

In his opinion, if there is no great opportunity, the former would be difficult to achieve in a lifetime, but as for the latter, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"receive!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yulou let out a breath and stopped thinking about it.

A wisp of spiritual consciousness enveloped all the pottery jars on the table in front of him. With a word, he took them all into the cave in the blink of an eye.

have to say.

After entering the cave realm, traveling in the world becomes much easier.

As for weaknesses, the only thing that made him feel a little lacking was that he could not really fly to the sky, otherwise, there would not be so much trouble right now.

It’s only a few hundred or thousands of miles.

We had to take a boat and ride a horse, the mountain road was bumpy and the boat was shaking.

After more than a year in this world, this is what he finds most unbearable. The transportation is really inconvenient. But for someone like him, who has been traveling around the world for many years, it is impossible for him to always stay in one corner.

After collecting the tea seedlings.

I turned around and looked out the window. I saw the green river and green mountains. Although the scenery was not as good as that of the Minjiang River, it was also beautiful.

Occasionally, you can see big fish breaking the surface of the water, or old apes in the mountains sitting on the treetops, looking curiously at the big ships in the water, and wild animals in the mountains drinking water by the river.

Watch it all.

Chen Yulou just felt relaxed all over, and his mood became much calmer.

It is said that one will miss home more after wandering for a long time.

He thought that he was just an outsider in this world and could only be considered a tourist, but he never expected that after a long time, it would become the same.

The small place of Xiangyin.

There is everything that I am familiar with.

But outside, even the food is not very appetizing.

Seeing that it was still early and he was not too sleepy, Chen Yulou pushed the door open and walked out. Compared to the huge Hezi ship they had come from, this one was just a small boat that could barely accommodate Bailong and the others.

Several rooms are close together.

As I walked through the door, I could hear the sound of breathing coming and going.

After spending the whole night in Tianshi Cave last night and being exhausted from the journey during this period, several of us took this opportunity to rest early and get some sleep.

Chen Yulou did not come in to disturb them.

Just walked towards the escalator.

"Mr. Chen..."

However, just after passing the corridor connecting the bow and the cabin, I happened to meet a white-haired captain coming out of the door. He looked like most sailors these days, wearing a short jacket with tight legs and a pipe on his waist.

He has dark skin, thick fingers and a thin body, and looks much older than his peers.

"Meet Boss Sun."

They had gone down the mountain and all the way to Gudube, where they had finally found a decent large ship.

I paid a deposit promptly.

This person also accepted it without hesitation.

I had chatted with him for a while before, and all I knew was that his last name was Sun, and his family had been sailors for generations. There was not much business at that time, so they could only make a living by ferrying people or transporting goods.

"I don't deserve it, just call me Old Suntou."

Sun Baotou waved his hands repeatedly.

To him, he is just an ordinary citizen who relies on the Dragon King for food, just like the old farmer who works in the fields for food, but the latter relies on the weather, while they rely on the water of this river to feed their elderly and children.

He couldn't even afford to hire a waiter, so he had to sail with his sons.

"Are you going to the top?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Sun Baotou, who was obviously not very good at speaking, asked in a whisper.

"Yes, the scenery along the way is nice, it's a good opportunity to go up and take a look."

Hear the words.

Sun Baotou nodded, not quite understanding.

It was actually difficult for him to understand what was so interesting about those things. They were nothing more than steep cliffs and hundreds of boats crossing the river. He had already gotten tired of seeing them over the past few decades.

If only.

He just wanted to earn some more money while he was still able to move, then go back to the countryside to buy a few acres of land, build a small courtyard, plant crops, and enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren around him.

However, he also knew that these children from aristocratic families had money and free time, and they liked to see the scenery around the world.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing him talking incoherently, Chen Yulou realized that something was wrong.

"The old man is going to the boat as well."

"Rich river fish are just coming out of the water right now. They are extremely delicious. Would you like to try some, Mr. Chen?"

When crossing the river, every pound of food on the boat is precious.

Old Sun has been sailing all his life.

I know this even more.

Chen Yulou looked down and realized that he was holding two fishing rods in his hands. They were made of bamboo and wrapped with a long line. The fish hooks were made of embroidery needles that were burned and bent, and there were not even barbs.

However, he seemed to be full of confidence.

"Okay, I have nothing to do, so I go fishing and enjoy the scenery. It's one of the great pleasures in life."

Although he was not a fisherman in his previous life.

But every time I go back to the countryside, I like to sit in the small river at the door.

It's not just for the catch, but to calm down and think about the interesting things in childhood.

After coming to this world, I have gone fishing several times.

However, what you catch is either the six-winged centipede or the long water worm.

Today I can actually go fishing for river fish.

Hearing this, Old Sun was obviously relieved. He was afraid that Mr. Chen would be dismissive. "As long as Mr. Chen doesn't mind the fishy smell, that's good."

Walk up the escalator.

All the way to the top deck.

Old Sun was very familiar with the job. He put down his stool skillfully, poured out a few earthworms from the porcelain jar, put them on the fishhook, and then handed the long pole to Chen Yulou.

"Just throw it down."

"Mr. Chen, when the fishing line moves, it means a fish has taken the bait..."

Afraid that he had never done such rough work, Old Sun did not forget to give him serious instructions.

Seeing that he was almost teaching him step by step, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"Don't worry, Boss Sun. I still know how to fish, but my skills are not that good."

Hearing this, Old Sun scratched his head awkwardly, then looked at his leisurely casting posture, and saw that he really didn't look like a novice, so he felt relieved.

Skillfully bait yourself.

Just throw it into the water.

only……

It’s different from Chen Yulou’s fishing to relax.

Old Sun came here for dinner in the first place, and he was fishing very seriously, his eyes always fixed on every move on the water.

It was just a moment since I put down the club.

He put his fingers on the fishing line, tapped it lightly, and then lifted it with force. A white fish as long as a chopstick broke through the water in the river and fell accurately into the wooden barrel behind him.

Chen Yulou looked amazed.

I thought Old Sun had good skills, but I didn't expect them to be so amazing.

In the blink of an eye.

I've already caught three or four.

They are all small white fish as long as chopsticks.

"We call this small fish Chunjiang fish here. You can fry it, boil it, or make soup with it. Just sprinkle some oil, salt and chili on it and it will smell delicious."

Seeing him looking at himself in surprise.

Sun explained with a smile.

As he spoke, he raised the rod again, and it turned out to be a big crucian carp.

His whole body is golden and his belly is round.

But after Old Sun took it down, he did not throw it into the barrel, but threw it back into the water.

He seemed to have sensed Chen Yulou's surprise.

Sun Baotou gave a simple smile.

"Don't fish for crucian carp in spring and don't shoot birds in summer. That's the old rule."

After the beginning of spring, it is the time when crucian carp scatter eggs. Not only the boatmen, but even the fishermen will pick them out and release them, which can be regarded as accumulating some good karma for themselves.

There are countless fish in the river.

It doesn’t matter if one or half a line is missing.

However, Chen Yulou was filled with emotion after hearing this. It is easy to say the rules, but how many people can do it?

Just about to speak.

The rod in his hand suddenly felt a slight vibration, as if a big fish was about to drag it into the water.

He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and raised the pole suddenly.

The fishing line instantly stretched straight, making a humming sound. This scene startled Sun Baotou, who was staring at the water, and he immediately ran over to help.

Both casting the line and playing with the fish.

It took more than half a minute before the big fish was finally pulled out of the water.

It turned out to be a silver carp weighing more than ten pounds.

"Oh, Mr. Chen is very good at hiding his secrets. He got it right away with such a big chain."

Old Sun was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

The noise of fishing on the boat attracted a group of people from under the boat. Except for Partridge Whistle who was meditating and did not show up, Kunlun, Yang Fang, the old foreigner, and Old Sun's first few sons, all gathered around the fish and marveled at the catch.

"Manager Chen, great! I didn't expect you to have this skill."

"It must be about 10 to 20 kilograms."

"Silver carp are rare. You are so lucky."

"Young man, you know what's good. I've been sailing for so many years, but I've only seen a few people catch fish. Third brother, don't just stand there. Go clean up and make a fish pot. We'll have a drink tonight."

Listening to everyone praising them.

Chen Yulou, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't suppress the smile.

He doesn't have any fishing skills, it's purely based on luck.

But I have to say, this feeling is really good. No wonder those fishermen always like to carry their catches around the village three times and are reluctant to go home.

"Manager Chen, let me try fishing too. Fishing seems quite interesting."

"I haven't had enough yet, just watch from the side."

"Hahaha, don't worry, little brother. There are a few more rods in the cabin. I'll go get them. You can use mine first."

"Well, thank you very much, boss. I won't be polite then."

"..."
