A Feng Shui Master's Guide to Cultivating Immortals

Afterwards, Chen Xiao asked Du Rong in private how he met this boy surnamed Tong.From what Chen Xiao saw on the boat that time, it was obvious that this young man had lost his way to nowhere.

There was an indescribable expression on Du Rong's face, he said: "When I met this Tong Xianshi again, it was when I got the clothes from the tailor's shop. It’s like a drowning man seeing the driftwood and asking me where the pier is. I’m also surprised that it’s been a few days and why are I still staying in the capital. So I pointed out the route for him, but he didn’t stand still. Seeing him like this, I happened to be on the way, so I asked him to go with me. Who would have thought that he readily agreed not to say anything, but when I heard that I was coming to Outer Harbor, I followed all the way."

Chen Xiao understands that a person with severe road dementia who manages to catch a living navigator will definitely not let it go.Chen Xiao asked: "How did Uncle Rong persuade Master Tong Xian to apply for a temporary name card for my nephew? And it only costs twenty spirit coins."

A smile appeared on the corner of Du Rong's mouth, and then quickly put it away, he said: "On the boat, because the seats are next to each other, I asked tentatively. Master Tong Xian learned that the proprietor needs a temporary name certificate. He readily agreed. I asked him how much he needed to be paid. He only wanted twenty spirit coins. Master Tong Xian frankly said that if it wasn’t for buying a boat ticket, he wouldn’t have wanted it.” Good deeds are rewarded, not to mention making a good relationship, and solving the most difficult problems at present.Naturally, I am in a good mood and beam with joy.

Chen Xiao also felt very lucky, when she was dozing off, she ran into the person who delivered the pillow.It just so happened that the boy surnamed Tong was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment period and met the minimum standards for handling.

In the past few days, because they were busy dealing with the certificates together, Chen Xiao asked some questions about immortal cultivators. As long as Du Rong knew about it, he knew everything without saying a word.

Du Rong said that when the students leave the school, they are usually low-level monks, and their cultivation base is the lowest in the realm of Taoism, which is called the Qi-gathering period.A high-level monk is Du Rong's current state, which is called the body training stage.Often many monks cannot formally enter the realm of cultivating immortals, because they are stuck in this realm, and there is no way to advance no matter what.

After the body refining period, it is called the foundation building period.From this realm, one can be called an immortal teacher, and has the qualification to lead someone to issue a temporary disciple name certificate.

Du Rong said that so far, the immortal masters who have had the most contact with him are those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.Practitioners in the foundation building period will leave the teacher's door to practice, and receive some rewards through Zhishitang like monks.

In fact, the foundation-building stage cultivators who went out to practice alone were not much different from the body-training stage cultivators.Most of those who are willing to form a team with monks are either casual cultivators, or the masters are not strong, and they don't have any deep background and wealth.Tong Xianshi is a very typical representative.He learned from a casual cultivator, but he still learned mechanism skills.

"What's wrong with the mechanism technique?" Chen Xiao asked.

Du Rong said: "In addition to practicing exercises, some practitioners will also study another item as the main development direction to assist their cultivation. There are such things as refining equipment, alchemy, talisman patterns, talisman formations, talisman jade, etc. , These people are also known as craftsmen, alchemists, rune masters, rune array masters, and rune jade masters. In addition to these mainstream, there are also some rare niche skill masters, such as mechanism masters, puppet masters, and animal tamers. Teacher, wait."

Chen Ling had never heard of these things before, so he couldn't help but be fascinated by them.

Du Rong continued: "Tong Xianshi learns mechanism skills, and he will become a mechanism master in the future. Not only is mechanism technique difficult to learn, but the materials often conflict with refining materials. It is expensive and difficult to collect. It is a very large initial investment. Auxiliary skills. Unfortunately, the mechanisms made by mechanism masters in the early stage have limited attacks. During the experience, they are a very unpopular kind of practitioner." Du Rong sighed, "It is difficult for mechanism masters to make progress. Unless you have relatives and friends to help you, you can only walk alone. The treatment that was neglected in the early stage has created a late bloomer, and the attacking mechanism master in the later stage is unpredictable and difficult to get along with."

Chen Xiao understood Du Rong's meaning: "Master Tong Xian didn't even have fifty spirit coins enough for a boat ticket, so he must have spent all his money on collecting materials." Du Rong nodded in agreement: "I can only That's right. This is a strange phenomenon. In the world of cultivating immortals, everyone is willing to associate with the mechanism masters, but when they are in their infancy, they are not willing to practice with mechanism apprentices." Otherwise, a practitioner in the foundation period, It's not that you can't even make up the money for a boat ticket.

Chen Xiao was very emotional. He thought that the immortal cultivators above the monks must be all beautiful, with surplus money in their hands, and no worries about food and clothing.It seems that no matter what class you are in, there are poverty due to various reasons.

The next day, the stern-faced Tong Xianshi brought Chen Xiao and Du Rong to the residence of Zhishitang in Outer Port again.There are still very few people in the morning.Master Tong Immortal stood in front of a counter neatly, took a picture of his name card, and said to the staff behind the counter, "Give me a temporary name card."

There is only a monk behind the counter. No matter whether they are young or old, young or old, they all have the same attitude towards cultivators.That is to hold a smile and never offend.The employee picked up the name card with both hands with a smile on his face, and input his real energy meticulously for a look.After seeing it, his smile became more real.He returned the name certificate to Immortal Master Tong and asked: "Immortal Master Tong Nuo Nuo, you are qualified to apply for a temporary disciple name certificate for one person, who is it?"

Immortal Master Tong Nuonuo obviously didn't expect that the employee in front of him would pronounce his name, he froze for a moment, and glanced at Chen Xiao behind him uncomfortably.Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't respond, he said to the staff, "It's the young one." He turned his head and said in a blunt tone, "Chen Xiao, hand me your name certificate."

Only then did Chen Xiao take a step forward, and handed over his certificate to the staff behind the counter.The staff checked the name card in the same way, and then looked up at Chen Xiao carefully.Chen Xiao calmly let him watch. The staff couldn't see anything wrong, so they sat down and took out a small device, which looked just like the card reader in the previous life, a flat box.

The staff put Chen Ling's name certificate on it, and took it down after a while.He stood up, handed the certificate to Chen Xiao, and said to him: "This certificate is valid for three months as a temporary disciple, please use it within the time limit."

After taking the certificate into his own hands, Chen Xiao felt at ease in his heart.Du Rong took a step forward and said to the two of them, "Please hand over the certificate to me so that I can buy a boat ticket."

Tong Nuonuo said, "No, I'll go with you."

Chen Xiao said, "Uncle Rong, let's buy tickets together."

The three of them left the counter where the certificate was issued and walked a few steps to the side.Du Rong told the person behind the counter that he wanted three tickets.Behind the counter is a nun with a better attitude.In a soft voice, she asked Du Rong to show the certificate, and Du Rong and Chen Xiao gave her the certificate.When it was Tong Nuonuo's turn, he turned his eyes down, as if he didn't know how to deal with women.

Master Tong Xian was at a loss, revealing the innocence and cuteness unique to young people.There was a smile in the female cultivator's eyes.Chen Ling thought that this fairy teacher must have grown up in an environment that lacked women.He suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, and stood back.He didn't want Teacher Tong Xian to think that he was laughing at him.

For some reason, Tong Nuonuo was still able to communicate normally despite having a straight face when facing Du Rong.But once it was facing Chen Ling, he would be on guard all over his body, and he would be full of defense when speaking.Chen Xiao didn't want to feel uncomfortable, so she minimized her contact with Tong Nuonuo.

Tong Nuonuo put the certificate on the counter.The female cultivator checked the three certificates, raised her head and confirmed to Du Rong, "Three tickets for the ferry to Hanshan City in four days' time?" Du Rong said in a deep voice, "Yes."

These days, he and Du Rong are busy solving the problem of temporary names, and they always use pronouns when talking.This was the first time that Chen Xiao knew exactly the name of that city.Hanshan City, a beautiful and poetic name.

Chen Xiao was savoring the name when she heard the female cultivator's Qingwan voice say: "Fifty spirit coins in the inner cabin, eighty spirit coins in the outer cabin, and one spirit pearl in the top cabin. Which one do fellow Taoists need?" Du Rong said: "I want an inner cabin ticket." The female nun said, "Thanks to your patronage, there are a total of one spirit pearl and fifty spirit coins."

Immediately, Chen Ling saw Tong Nuonuo who was standing obliquely in front of him pause, and even his back showed a sense of annoyance.A smile welled up in Chen Xiao's heart, the boy's emotions were too straightforward.He must be regretting why he didn't agree to Du Rong's request just now, and handed over the certificate to him to buy on his behalf.In this way, he doesn't have to face the dilemma of taking out money but can only take out thirty spirit coins.

Fortunately, Du Rong didn't intend to ask Tong Nuonuo to give out his share of spirit coins right now. Chen Xiao directly gave him two spirit beads this morning.Du Rong took the three tickets and the fifty spirit coins he found.Du Rong distributed the tickets to the two of them, and Chen Xiao held the tickets in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully.

This ticket is more precisely a card, beige in color, with the date of sailing and the cabin row number written in neat black characters.On this card, the most special thing is that there is a colorful stripe, which can change into different colors under the sun.

"There's even an anti-counterfeiting mark." Chen Xiao said in surprise.

Du Rong walked to his side: "Proprietor, what's the matter?"

Chen Xiao raised the boat ticket in his hand: "How did the colored lines come from here?"

It was also the first time for Du Rong to see this kind of boat ticket, but he had some experience after all. After looking at it, he said, "This should be printed with some kind of special concoction. Picked similar spirit grass."

There are scientific and technological means in the previous life, and the method of cultivating immortals in this life, each with its own magical powers.Chen Xiao laughed at himself, he shouldn't be surprised by this anymore.

Tong Nuonuo gave Du Rong thirty spirit coins when he left Zhishitang.Chen Xiao's original intention was to help the other party pay for the boat ticket.After all, the other party has helped so much, and it is a bit shameful to only give him twenty spirit coins.But the other party insisted on refusing, Du Rong saw that if he persisted, Tong Nuonuo would be annoyed.At Chen Ling's signal, he accepted the thirty spirit coins.

After giving the Lingcoins, Master Tong Xian seemed to let go of his worries and turned around to leave.He lived in a different place from them, Chen Xiao and Du Rong didn't know where each other lived.Chen Xiao took the spirit coins returned to him by Du Rong and put them away, thinking that this child would not sleep on the street, right?
