Hard to be a master

Not long after the glutinous rice cake comes out of the pan, the hot air evaporates the aroma of the sesame powder, which is very appetizing.Guan Jingxuan took a sip, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside, sweet in the mouth, it's really delicious."

Shen Ziliu handed him a cup of tea, took a piece of tea with his own chopsticks, and smacked his lips: "According to Master's taste, this glutinous rice cake is a bit oily, and the brown sugar is too thick. But since Master likes it, I have time to ask my disciples for advice." The chef who made this dim sum, after learning it, go back and improve it, how about the disciples make it for the master in the future?"

Guan Jingxuan ate half of the glutinous rice cakes left on the chopsticks, took a sip of tea, looked sideways at Shen Ziliu with a smile, and said, "Are you planning to turn me into a pig?"

Shen Ziliu put on a show and sighed: "If you can really make the master fatter, the disciple will be happy, but it's a pity that the master can't get fat, and the disciple is also very distressed."

Guan Jingxuan casually picked up a folding fan and tapped Shen Ziliu's forehead, and scolded with a smile, "It's not big or small!"

Shen Ziliu smiled and took the blow, took the folding fan from Guan Jingxuan's hand and fanned him, saying: "My disciple is wrong."

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, ate half a plate of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and made an appointment to take a stroll in the town in the afternoon, before Shen Ziliu packed up the table and went back to his room to have a rest.Before leaving, he did not forget to search for the clothes that Guan Jingxuan had changed in the past few days and take them to wash. Guan Jingxuan couldn't resist, so he had to give him all the clothes except the underwear.Seeing Shen Ziliu going out cheerfully with a pile of dirty clothes in his arms, Guan Jingxuan shook his head and expressed that he couldn't understand what strange hobbies his apprentice had.

At the beginning of the unitary year, the heat at noon receded slowly, and a large cloud gathered in the sky, which just blocked the sun that had begun to drift westward.Both master and apprentice changed into light and elegant clothes and left the inn gate.

Taoyuan Town is different from other towns. All the residents here, including small merchants and hawkers and even the servants in the inn, are all cultivators, but their cultivation bases are different.The town not only sells ordinary goods, but also many things that only monks can use, such as spiritual tools, spiritual stones, elixir, talismans or spiritual pet feed.Some stores only accept ordinary silver coins, some only accept spirit stones, and some special ones can be bartered.

Before going down the mountain, Shen Ziliu had only been to ordinary towns, and the only person who had ever seen items for cultivation was the "grocer" Cheng Yun's Spirit Artifact Shop, so it was the first time he had seen many things, and they were quite novel.Guan Jingxuan walked around with him very patiently, explaining a thing or two from time to time, which opened Shen Ziliu's horizons.

In the past, when Shen Ziliu went down the mountain, because of his outstanding appearance and the temperament of a cultivator, he always attracted the attention of many people.Now in Taoyuan Town, which is full of cultivators, neither the local residents nor visitors from other places have shown any special attention to him.Even if she was amazed by his appearance for a moment, she didn't take a long look at him, and then hurried past.After all, in the world of comprehension, monks with good appearance are not uncommon, and it is the depth of their cultivation that attracts more attention.And Shen Ziliu, as a young monk who has just formed alchemy, has no prominent background and is not well-known outside of Kunlun.

For Shen Ziliu, it was very satisfying to be able to walk the streets with Guan Jingxuan without any interruption, and he was in a good mood with a smile on his face along the way.

Halfway through the second street, the master and apprentice turned into a spirit weapon shop called "Suiyuan Pavilion".I don't know if it's because it looks too old from the outside. Compared with other shops, this shop looks very deserted, and no one has gone in for a long time.The inside of the store is not as simple and inconspicuous as the outside, it is very elegantly decorated, burning with an ancient fragrance of concentration, all the spiritual artifacts are placed on antique racks, at first glance it looks like an antique shop.But if you take a closer look, you will find that there are all kinds of strange and strange artifacts on the shelf, and there is no price tag.

The owner of the shop was a very young looking man, wearing a blue-gray robe, tall and slender, with a pale and sickly complexion, without any spirit.Seeing Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu coming in, the shopkeeper just glanced at them, but didn't say hello, just sat on the chair lazily drinking tea.

It is not uncommon to see monks with perverted personalities, so the master and apprentice didn't mind, and walked around the shop on their own.I don't know if I don't look at it, but I was startled when I saw it. After walking around, Guan Jingxuan was surprised to find that many spiritual weapons in this store were rare treasures, and some of them could even be called divine weapons.

It's unbelievable that a store full of spirit treasures is so deserted.

Shen Ziliu didn't have much research on spiritual artifacts. Although he could tell that the spiritual artifacts in the store were not ordinary, he couldn't tell what each of them was used for.Fortunately, Guan Jingxuan was well-informed. After shopping around, he picked out a string of inconspicuous black sword tassels from among the many spiritual weapons. On the sword tassels was a piece of white jade the size of a broad bean.

Shen Ziliu took a look at the side, although he didn't see anything special about this string of sword tassels, but seeing Guan Jingxuan was very satisfied, he said, "Master likes this? My disciple gave it to you."

After successfully forming the alchemy and entering the "Yushan Xianlu", Shen Ziliu received his first annual salary, which was quite a lot, including [-] spirit stones and a thousand copper coins.Kunlun monks' alchemy qualification trials are actually selected from the outside world to seek help from the Kunlun fairy gate. Every time a monk completes a task, Kunlun's account book will automatically record it for them. And settle the issue.Shen Ziliu performed well in the alchemy trial. During the period, he also captured many monsters and evil spirits and threw them into the special lock bag made by Tianyin Pavilion and sent them to the Water Moon Illusion. This was another separate reward.

Guan Jingxuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Little fool, maybe you and I can't buy such a magical weapon with the combined wealth of the two of us."

Shen Ziliu was taken aback, took the sword spike from Guan Jingxuan's hand and turned it over and over again, but still didn't see anything, so he asked, "Isn't this just an ordinary sword spike? What's so special?"

Guan Jingxuan shook her head and said, "This is not an ordinary sword tassel, do you know what the piece on this sword tassel is?"

Shen Ziliu asked doubtfully, "Isn't it just a piece of white jade?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "It's the psychic jade soul."

The shopkeeper, who had been sitting on a chair drinking tea, finally raised his eyes and glanced at Guan Jingxuan, but he still didn't make a sound.

Shen Ziliu asked: "What is the psychic jade soul?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "After a very small number of spiritual jades are nourished in a place with a strong spiritual energy for a hundred years, a jade soul will be born in it. The effect of the jade soul nourishing the spirit and calming the nerves is a thousand times that of ordinary spiritual jade. And the psychic jade soul is in the jade. Among the souls, an extremely rare one, in addition to nourishing the soul and calming the mind, it can also strengthen the monk's ability to communicate with the spirits of all things."
