Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Zhenren and the middle-aged man were polite, then turned and walked out of the concierge. Just after leaving the concierge, the courtyard door rang, "dang, dang, dang..."

As soon as he heard the knock on the door, the middle-aged man walking behind immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." An old voice sounded outside the door.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, it turns out to be my uncle." The middle-aged man said and hurried forward to open the door.

Opening the door of the courtyard, he saw an old Taoist who was more than sixty years old standing outside. Behind the old Taoist, there were two young Taoist priests. The two little Taoist priests were holding a tray in their hands, and there was a gourd on each tray.

"See you, Uncle Master." As soon as Master Zhang saw the sixty-year-old Taoist, he quickly greeted him respectfully.

Zhang Yinling and Li Ruxuan also followed suit and said, "See you, uncle Taishi." "See you, uncle Taishi."

In fact, in the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, they are basically relatives. Li Ruxuan has a foreign surname, so there is no friendship, but for Zhang Yinling, half of the people on the mountain are her uncles.

However, there are rules on the mountain. Unless it is in private, or on New Year's Day or something, you can only call you father or uncle. The rest of the time, everyone must be addressed according to the etiquette of the sect.

Naturally, the sixty-year-old Taoist also has the surname Zhang. He is Zhang Tianshi's cousin, named Zhang Chengxu. The old Taoist nodded slightly and said: "The Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pills have been prepared. There are seventy-two pills in total. Please Yun Rang, my nephew, to check them out."

After speaking, Zhang Chengxu waved his hand gently forward.

The two young Taoist priests standing behind him immediately stepped forward and presented the tray to the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Seeing this, Master Zhang quickly said: "Uncle and senior brother, you are busy here, I will take my leave first."

"Yes." Zhang Chengxu nodded slightly.

Zhang Yunrang said: "Junior brother, then I won't give it away."

"No need." Master Zhang nodded with a smile and walked out of the yard.

Zhang Yinling and Li Ruxuan followed him out of the courtyard, and then walked toward the dining hall together.

After walking a certain distance, the little girl couldn't help but said: "Master, is the Dragon Tiger Qi Building Pill in that gourd?"

"Exactly." Master Zhang said calmly.

"I heard them say that the Dragon Tiger Qi Building Pill can only be refined once every ten years, and then it will only be distributed to the most outstanding disciples of the sect... It is said that after eating it, one can greatly increase their cultivation level. Is that true? ...I, I haven't eaten it yet..." Zhang Yinling said a little excitedly and expectantly.

"You also said that the Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pills can only be refined once every ten years. There are only seventy-two pills in this pot. That is to say, on average, there are only seven pills in a year. On the contrary, this year, the number of Qi-Building Pills in the pot is only 72. How many disciples are there in the master's house? If the inner sect and outer sect are added together, there can be more than a hundred. If you want to get the Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pill, you must be the best among the disciples, otherwise, it will be impossible to get it. "Zhenren Zhang said seriously.

After hearing this, Zhang Yinling curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said: "It doesn't matter how much merit I have accumulated... I am with you every day, where can I go to accumulate merit..."

Master Zhang frowned slightly and continued: "If you have the opportunity to accumulate merit... I'm afraid that you won't be able to accumulate it by then..."

"Why can't you accumulate merit? Who are you looking down on..." Zhang Yinling curled her lips and said: "Otherwise, I will go down the mountain to accumulate merit... When the time comes, I must eat this Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pill..."

Everyone knows that Zhengyi Sect and Quanzhen Sect have opposite cultivation methods. The Zhengyi Sect puts emphasis on the cultivation of magic, supplemented by the cultivation of true energy. Quanzhen Sect is based on the internal and external aspects, taking the initiative to cultivate the true energy, supplemented by the cultivation of magic. Therefore, generally speaking, the Zhengyi Sect has more types of spells, definitely more than the Quanzhen Sect. However, the Qi cultivation of Quanzhen Sect disciples is often deeper than that of Zhengyi Sect disciples.

In order to make up for the lack of Qi cultivation, Tianshi Mansion developed the Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pill after many generations of efforts. Because the medicinal materials are precious and rare, and the refining is particularly troublesome, it can only be made once every ten years.

And this furnace of Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pills is naturally also known as the goal pursued by the young disciples of Tianshi Mansion. After all, the increase in true energy will inevitably increase the power of spells. It is definitely not easy to get a Dragon Tiger Qi Building Pill. Even if the Tianshi Mansion pays more attention to the inner disciples, on the surface it is almost like a bowl of water. Therefore, both inner disciples and outer disciples have the opportunity to compete for the Dragon and Tiger Qi Building Pill, and the criterion for evaluation is naturally merit.

"Go down the mountain to accumulate merit... I'm afraid you don't want to go down the mountain to play..." Zhang Zhenren said deliberately.

"What are you playing for..." Zhang Yinling immediately said seriously: "You just look down on me! I said you should accumulate merit, and you will definitely accumulate merit!"

Hearing the seriousness in his daughter's voice, Zhang Zhenren stopped and turned to look at his daughter. After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Zhen said: "Okay... Since you said you want to go down the mountain to accumulate merit, and you said I won't give you a chance, then I will give you a chance today..."

"Really!" Zhang Yinling immediately became energetic when she heard what her father said. You know, this girl has been extremely bored since she returned to the mountain. She wanted to secretly go down the mountain, but she was somewhat afraid. What her father said now was to give her a chance to go down the mountain.

"Of course it's true, but you girl has always been playful. If I don't put any pressure on you, if I let you go down the mountain like this, I'm afraid it will be too slow and difficult to accumulate merit." Master Zhang said confidently.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Yinling curled her lips and said, "What do you want? What pressure do you put on me?"

"I don't think so... Let's limit it to the Spring Festival. If you can accumulate 1 million merits before the Spring Festival, then I believe in your ability. On the contrary, if you cannot accumulate 1 million merits before the Spring Festival , then after you return to the mountain, you have to face the wall and think about your mistakes. What do you think..." Zhang Zhenren said seriously.

"This..." Zhang Yinling could clearly see that her father was serious this time. If she promised her father, she would have to accumulate 1 million merits before the Spring Festival according to her father's wishes.

Seeing his daughter's hesitation, Zhang Zhenren smiled lightly and said: "Yin Ling, don't you dare anymore..."

"I wouldn't dare! How could I not dare!" When Zhang Yinling heard what her father said, she immediately said with great momentum: "Isn't it just that in one month, I accumulated 1 million merits? That's not a lot!"

"Okay! Let's do it for one month. If you can accumulate 1 million merits, then if you want to go down the mountain to accumulate merits in the future, I will never stop you. You can go down the mountain at any time." Master Zhang said with a smile.

"Then it's decided!" Zhang Yinling said loudly.

This girl said that if she wins, she can go down the mountain at any time in the future, and she will be more energetic than anyone else.

Seeing that his daughter was so energetic, Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction, but added: "But you have to remember that the merits of this million are real and must not be faked."

"Don't worry!" Zhang Yinling raised her neck and said.
