No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 105 Nothing

Among the twelve Earthly Branches, Pig Face was killed by Xu Shun, leaving eleven.

One of them was burned to ashes by the three golden crows, and eight more went in to form a sword formation, so there were two people in front of Xu Shun.

They were personally recruited into the Huangdan Society by Yan Zijian, and because of their interest in swords, they were taught sword techniques by Yan Zijian and trained to become Earthly Branch Sword Practitioners.

Three hundred and two hundred black silver coins a month.

The purchasing power of black silver is about 80% of that of green silver. Three hundred taels of black silver is about two hundred and four taels of green silver.

Xu Shun’s monthly salary in the Qinghua sect at the Tongshen stage was only one hundred taels of silver.

Seriously speaking, they are just at the level of spiritual beings, so it is very good to have such treatment.

Many people's lives are not worth that much.

But what they were facing was Xu Shun, a man who used his brain.

In order to stop killing people, he was forced to use his brain and recalled everything before the time travel. He told the two people the bosses' empty promises in reverse: "Do you have the one thousand taels? Do you have the two thousand taels?"

"What about three thousand taels? I heard from the people in the club that some of them got a lot of kickbacks. Some of them also got a lot of money by using connections."

"Why are you selling your lives for two to three thousand taels of black silver a month?"

"Why don't you say anything? Don't you have one thousand taels of black silver?" Xu Shun said again when he saw the two people hesitating.

Is it worth risking your life for two or three thousand taels?
Of course it’s worth it!

But they didn’t have two or three thousand taels, they only had a mere three hundred taels!
In the Huangdan Society, some people use connections, some use crooked means, and some cling to the thighs to be the lackeys of the Dan Master. They have seen it before, and they sneer at it and look down on those people.

Because they believe that with their own efforts and the swords in their hands, they can earn the life they want in an upright manner!
But the reality is that those people don't have to work hard. They can get ten times the reward for their hard work by selling the magic pills and yellow bud pills.

It can also buy them ten lives.

This is where they hesitated, so they were willing to work for Yan Zijian.

They just listened to Yan Zijian's words that everyone should make the decision, but they could try their best to follow the dragon.

They have nothing but their lives.

Xu Shun looked at the two of them and said, "You only have one life, so you should do something meaningful. How can you sacrifice your life for the ambitions of others?"

"Don't you want to practice hard and become immortals one day?"

“Heh…” The man with the ox mask sneered and said, “Becoming an immortal?”

"Those disciples of the big sects and those people from the immortal cultivation families have teachers above them and fellow disciples below them. They don't have to worry about the skills or survival, they just need to practice with peace of mind!"

"It is they who become immortals, not us!"

"We have no skills, no black silver, no master, no magic weapon, we have nothing!"

"Nothing!"

"Are people like us worthy of becoming immortals?"

When the beatings from the world of immortal cultivation hit one's body, even the dumbest person would feel the pain.

What's more, these independent cultivators have experienced a lot of beatings along the way.

They are not immortal cultivators, nor do they know it clearly, nor are they unable to do it.

Those are too advanced for them.

They just wanted to... have no choice.

In order to survive, there is no choice.

The purpose of cultivating immortals is to live.

In order to survive, you have to risk your life first.

So Easy!
"I know." Xu Shun's tone suddenly became gentle when he heard what they said, and he said, "I know that some people, even in famous sects, will give up and cultivate bad immortals."

"Because they don't cherish themselves, don't think they can become immortals, and don't want to fight for immortality." "To cultivate immortality, it depends more on oneself. Humble origins have nothing to do with ambitions, and have nothing to do with the dream of becoming an immortal."

“On the path of cultivation, cherish yourself more.”

“When others look down on you, you should look up to yourself.”

“When others think you can’t do it, don’t give up.”

"When others think you are not worthy of becoming an immortal, you should regard their words as giving up. You just need to work hard in secret."

"Don't care about what others think, be persistent and work hard for it!"

"One day, one day! The right time and opportunity will come to you. And you will soar into the sky like a latent dragon, and the wind and clouds will change color!"

"Before that, live well and don't work hard for irrelevant things!"

"The harder you work, the happier your boss will be!"

Perhaps it was because Xu Shun was speaking from their own perspective, or perhaps it was because Xu Shun was being sincere, as if Xu Shun was the same person as them, the two of them hesitated, which was unusual for them.

They understood Xu Shun's words. Xu Shun just wanted them to live for themselves, live for the dream of becoming an immortal, and not live for others.

It was rare in his decades of life to find someone who cared about him like this, let alone an enemy.

Rat Face shook his head and said, "No, I want to repay the Sword Master for his kindness! Go away, we won't kill you!"

But he also insisted that he could not run away at this time because of his loyalty and righteousness. Letting Xu Shun go was already his biggest setback.

"The so-called kindness of knowing you is just to train you to be a thug and a tool." Xu Shun sighed and said, "I have been pretending to be this person for so long, but he didn't recognize my voice."

"I guess he doesn't necessarily remember all of your names."

Rat Face shook his head and said, "Impossible! The Sword Master has been so kind to us and taught us swordsmanship himself, how could he not remember our names?"

"Besides, he is a cultivator in the Jindan stage and has an excellent memory." He added.

"You don't know those people." Xu Shun recalled: "When you are useful, you are his brother. Even if you are joking with him or scolding him, it's fine."

“When you have no value, your existence is the biggest mistake.”

"What they consider is always how much value you can bring to them, not what your name is or whether you are a human being."

"Your name is not as important as you think."

"Impossible! Impossible!" Rat Face didn't believe what Xu Shun said.

In his heart, Yan Zijian is a man of great righteousness and kindness, a rare good man in the Huangdan Society.

"Maybe we can give it a try." The silent Horse Face suddenly said.

He turned his head and looked at the battlefield not far away.

The three-legged fire crow has set everything on fire.

The alchemy furnace, which originally covered dozens of acres and was as big as a stadium, was now completely engulfed in flames.

Those exquisitely carved beams and painted buildings, the pillars that could be hugged by two people, and the blue-gray tiles were all burning.

The burnt ashes drifted with the wind formed by the flames. In the billowing smoke and ashes, the three-legged fire crow flew in the sea of ​​fire filled with ashes, compressing the range of the "Nine Lights Sword Formation" bit by bit.

In the starlight sword formation, the nine tiny stars have become much dimmer than before.

Their magic power is decreasing and they can't hold on for much longer.

Yan Zijian cursed in his heart, this three-legged fire crow is such a rogue!
No matter what sword energy or sword formation, there is nothing that cannot be burned.

He only has one chance, and that is to get close to Ma Zhiqiu!

Yan Zijian saw the three-legged fire crow turn its head and reveal its flaw.

He made a prompt decision and shouted, "Nine Lights Unite into One!"
