The Sims, My Alien Path

Ling Tian waved his hand to let Qian Yue relax, and then said: "Why do you only sell and not rent?"

His tone was calm, and he did not act arrogantly because of his powerful cultivation.

"Senior, I am now old, and my life span is about to run out. The road to immortality has come to an end..." Qian Yue's eyes were full of memories, and his eyes revealed his nostalgia and helplessness for the past years of cultivating immortals.

Then he sighed and said: "This time I want to sell the shop, return to my mortal hometown, and end my life."

Ling Tian was also deeply touched when he saw this.

After all, the road to cultivating immortals is bumpy, and only a handful of people can reach the top.

He knew that on this road, countless people have made efforts and sweat, but ultimately failed to realize their dreams.

He looked at Qian Yue, as if he saw the fate of many immortal cultivators, and a trace of emotion surged in his heart.

Then he said: "Then there is no way, I just want to rent it for a year."

After that, Ling Tian couldn't help shaking his head and turned around to leave. He respected Qian Yue's choice. Since the shop was only for sale and not for rent, he was unwilling to force it.

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Wait a minute, senior, if you only rent it for one year, I can still wait." Qian Yue couldn't help but speak when he saw Ling Tian was about to leave.

Qian Yue might be moved by Ling Tian's understanding, or maybe he thought that he was about to leave the world of immortal cultivation and didn't care about this year.

Ling Tian paused after hearing this, then turned around and said, "Then please trouble you, how much is the annual rent."

"Well..." Qian Yue pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior, you can use it for this year, no need to talk about the spirit stones."

Ling Tian couldn't help but say, "No, just tell me how many spirit stones you need. After all, you are going to retire to your hometown, and more spirit stones are good after all."

Ling Tian insisted on paying the rent, not wanting to take advantage of the old man. After all, he was a powerful cultivator and didn't need to care about this little spirit stone.

"I dare not disobey what you said, so I will charge you two hundred spirit stones." Qian Yue did not refuse and proposed a relatively reasonable rental price.

"Well, OK!" Ling Tian nodded, and then patted his storage bag, and two hundred spirit stones flew from it to Qian Yue.

Qian Yue also waved his hand, and the spirit stones in front of him entered his storage bag.

"Senior, I will clean up the shop and make room for you." Qian Yue bowed respectfully.

After that, Qian Yue put all the talismans or other items in the shop into the storage bag.

Then he said goodbye to Ling Tian.

The sunset was setting, and the sunset glow was like fire, coating the entire market with a layer of gold.

Ling Tian stood in front of the newly rented shop, looking at Qian Yue's back, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The road to cultivation is so long and so difficult.

Every breakthrough is a battle with the sky; every enlightenment is a battle with oneself. Some people spend their whole lives but always linger outside the threshold of cultivation; some people exhaust their lifespan but fail to take that crucial step on the road.

Just like Qian Yue, who built the foundation for a hundred years, but ultimately failed to make further progress and had to choose to retire.

Years passed in this endless cultivation, and loneliness and hardship always accompanied him.

When he looked back, he found that he was already old, but still standing still.

I don’t know whether it is worth cultivating this immortal, and whether he will regret it later.

However, there is no regret or unwillingness on his face, but a bit of relief and calmness.

Perhaps, this is the true wisdom of foolishness.

Cultivation is just to live transparently; longevity is just to see farther.

Breaking through the realm is important, but more importantly, on the road of cultivation, don’t forget your original intention and don’t lose your true self.

Some people spend their whole lives pursuing immortality, but forget the true meaning of living in the present; some people are obsessed with the pursuit of power, but lose what they originally wanted to protect.

The moonlight was hazy, Ling Tian stood at the door of the shop and took a deep breath.

The evening breeze was wrapped in a bit of coolness, kneading the fragrance of the fine spiritual food, and gently caressed his face with clear lines.

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling this rare moment of tranquility.

The night was like ink, gradually permeating the entire sky.

The lights in the market were lit up one after another, bright or dark. From a distance, it seemed as if a few stars fell into the mortal world, adding a bit of transcendence to this market full of fireworks.

Ling Tian opened his eyes, looked at the looming sword light in the distance, and murmured to himself: "Maybe, this is the real way to cultivate immortals..."

His voice was very light, but full of persistence in the Tao.

"Perhaps one day, I will die. But since I have embarked on this path, I have no choice but to move forward bravely until I reach the peak of the immortal path and look down on all living beings."

ThinkingHere, Ling Tian's brows showed a hint of determination. He straightened his clothes and walked out of the shop.

The market became more and more lively, and the sound of bargaining was mixed in the bustling voices.

Ling Tian walked slowly between the small stalls, scanning the items on the stalls with sharp eyes, looking for possible opportunities.

However, most of the things he saw were ordinary things. Occasionally, he could see a few little monks with wretched faces, who were making some ordinary things look old, bragging shamelessly that they were the relics of ancient great powers.

Seeing this, Ling Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that the opportunities in this world cannot be obtained by luck alone.

If you are not a son of luck, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to find the real treasures in these messy stalls.

Ling Tian, ​​who recognized the reality, shook his head and stopped wasting time on these stalls.

He turned around and wanted to go to Piaomiao Pavilion to buy spiritual medicine and alchemy furnace, ready to start his alchemy career.

After all, as a second-grade alchemist, it would be a pity if he wasted this skill.

At this moment, a faint scent of medicine suddenly entered his nose.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the scent. He saw a variety of spiritual medicines on a small stall not far away, which were green and full of spiritual energy.

Ling Tian's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but stop to watch.

His eyes were like lightning, quickly sweeping across the stall, and he had already made up his mind.

The stall owner was a middle-aged monk with a kind face. Seeing someone stop, he immediately showed a warm smile, and a shrewd light flashed in his eyes: "Is this Taoist friend interested in my spiritual medicine?"

Ling Tian approached calmly, and gently picked up a spiritual essence grass with his slender fingers, and probed into it with his spiritual consciousness.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy, he relaxed his brows and asked gently: "Daoyou, I wonder how to price these Lingyuan grass and Juling flower?"

"Daoyou, you have good eyes!" The stall owner smiled even more, with a bit of pride in his tone.

"These spiritual medicines of mine are carefully cultivated and of high quality. Lingyuan grass costs two spiritual stones per plant, and Juling flower is difficult to grow, so it costs five spiritual stones per plant."

Ling Tian thought to himself that this price is indeed 10% or 20% cheaper than Piaomiao Pavilion.

Then he said lightly: "If you buy in large quantities, can you continue to provide it?"

"A large amount?" The stall owner's eyes lit up, the smile on his face became more intense, and his tone became more eager, "Yes! Of course! I am Wang Liqiu, a disciple of Lingzhi Sect. Our Lingzhi Sect is famous for growing spiritual medicines. If Daoyou likes it, we can supply as much as you want!"
