This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 277 I will never be a positive character again

In the suburbs of the county, there is clear water and a quiet and elegant courtyard.

With his excellent eloquence and personal charm, Xiang Yuan bought this small courtyard. The owner was very easy to talk to and did not charge him when he heard that it was only a short-term rental for two days.

This comforted Xiang Yuan a lot. Facts have proved that as long as you leave the famous and upright sects, there are still good people in the Qianyuan world.

He left a plum blossom mark outside the courtyard to contact Taoist Ziping, took out the enlightenment cushion from the house, sat down, crossed his legs and entered a state of meditation, looking inward at the gains he had made after subduing demons and eliminating evil.

He didn't dare to do so in Jianxinzhai. He was worried and treading on thin ice, fearing that he would be raped by a wild witch if he entered into a state of meditation. There was also a long queue outside the door.

When he first arrived at Jianxinzhai, whenever he had such unrealistic fantasies, he would laugh at himself and think of Taozi.

I don’t think so now. They are so brave.

If he hadn't run fast, he would have been the top card.

Getting back to the topic, Xiang Yuan sat cross-legged in meditation and began to sort out the three major gains of this trip.

The first big gain was getting a drop of god and demon blood to make medicine. The origin was mysterious and the medicinal power was powerful. Once it entered his body, it greatly improved his blood production. Once again, he experienced the blood transfusion and marrow cleansing that practitioners dream of.

People who regularly undergo blood transfusions and marrow washings know that this is a great opportunity that greatly increases one’s potential and gives one unlimited future. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like being reborn.

Xiang Yuan couldn't remember how many times he had transformed. Putting aside other benefits, the fact that his body had become stronger and his natural supernatural power had been significantly improved was enough to make this trip worthwhile.

A drop of god and demon blood, whose origin is unknown, easily accomplished what more than ten blood pools could not do. One drop produced immediate results. If there were a hundred or eighty drops, wouldn't he be able to take off on the spot?

Xiang Yuan frowned slightly as he entered into meditation. The benefits of the blood of gods and demons did not all belong to him. It was divided into two parts. He got the medicinal power, and Su Ran Jian Zun got the purified blood. Not only did his body rejuvenate, but his dying soul also lived a second life.

The portal full of vitality and all things was still in front of him, making Xiang Yuan extremely curious. Which god or demon did that drop of blood come from, and what was the connection between Su Ran Jian Zun and the other party?
Thinking about the few words that Su Ran Jian Zun said, he seemed to have some connection with an unknown god or demon, because the timing of his arrival was too coincidental, just when Su Ran Jian Zun was about to die, and the latter insisted on taking him down as his son-in-law.

Follow the opportunity (×)
It's a strange chance, stay with me and study slowly (√)
Su Ran Sword Master is extremely powerful, and her realm of sword is unfathomable. She insisted on being a riddle teller and only spoke half of the words. Xiang Yuan had no choice but to move his doubts aside.

Just put it aside for now, and when you forget about it one day, you won’t have to worry about it.

The second gain was that Su Ran Sword Master controlled his body to project the stars, yin and yang, and the five elements, and generated a small world in the real world.

The destruction and creation of the world is mysterious and infinite. Every detail is deeply imprinted in Xiang Yuan's soul, making him more familiar with his own body and having a deeper understanding of the formless seal.

The true meaning of formlessness, which had been vague before, was now unveiled, showing Xiang Yuan a myriad of possibilities.

With this one item alone, the three-headed, six-armed Dharma appearance can make rapid progress, which is equivalent to hundreds of days of secluded and hard practice.

Let's talk about the last benefit. Sword Master Su Ran showed Xiang Yuan the vastness of the realm of Dao and Sword. Under the cover of heaven and earth, many artistic conceptions were lingering and transformed into unique sword skills. Every sword contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, which opened Xiang Yuan's eyes.

He pieced together the wool he had plucked and made a pot of steaming dumplings fresh from the oven. He created a unique sword-fighting skill from someone and was so good at founding a school that he could become the founder of the school.

In comparison, the ninety-nine and eighty-one sword pillars and the like are just a small supermarket, so it’s better not to copy them!
"I have gained a lot from this trip. The fears I have had these past few days are not in vain. Once Sister Ziping brings me the elixir, I will be able to complete my mission and withdraw."

Xiang Yuan nodded secretly and said that this was a sure thing.

Thinking of the complete set of sword techniques in his mind, he put away the enlightenment cushion, took out the Rouge Sword and started dancing in the yard.

This set of sword techniques was learned from Xiang Yuan. In essence, it came from the Sword Master Su Ran, and naturally it was imbued with the unique artistic beauty of Jian Xinzhai's sword techniques.

Jian Xinzhai's swordsmanship is based on 'natural swordsmanship'. The sword heart is clear, the sword is in harmony with heaven and earth, and the sword moves are as smooth as flowing water and clouds, without any traces of artificiality, and the main focus is elegance.

The woman holding the sword and practicing the Xinzhai sword technique looked like a fairy dancing with a sword, like a dream and extremely beautiful.

Xiang Yuan was not a cultivator who was trained in martial arts. He had long ago mastered the sword skills of making light of heavy objects and heavy of light objects. His natural supernatural power did not affect his graceful sword dance.

Where the sword light rises, it seems that the heaven and earth resonate with it, the sun and the moon dance with it, and it transforms into the yin and yang and the five elements. The sword's momentum is unpredictable and inclusive, with the fierceness of mountains, the winding of water into the heart, the stirring of thunder, and the shaking of stars and galaxies...

Xiang Yuan experienced this mysterious sword technique personally, and he felt as if he was in a vast universe. Mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars were all flowing in the sword light. The sword moved with his will, his mind moved with his heart, and his heart moved with the universe. He felt an unprecedented freedom and pleasure.

After the dance ended, Xiang Yuan closed his eyes and held the sword, with one hand behind his back and the sword's tip touching the ground.

The beauty of the artistic conception was endless, and the resonance of his soul was so exciting that he couldn't stop and wanted to dance it again.

"What a sword!"

From a corner of the courtyard, a cold voice of praise came.

Xiang Yuan's eyelids jumped, and he knew who the person was just by hearing the voice.

Shang Qingmeng!
A familiar voice once hummed softly in his arms. It sang the first half, took a short break, and then sang the second half. He was confident that he had not heard it wrong.

Sure enough, when I looked up, Shang Qingmeng was dressed in white and looked like an immortal. If she didn't have those burning eyes, and her eager look, she would have looked even more immortal.

Why are your eyes so wide open? Do you want to dance too?
When Xiang Yuan saw her, he got a terrible headache. What he feared would come true. Then, seeing her burning eyes staring at the Rouge Sword, his headache got even worse.

"mine!"

Xiang Yuan put the Crazy Beauty Sword into the jade space and said bluntly: "Senior, you shouldn't have come. Su Ran Sword Master said that I should stay away from you, otherwise I will break your dog legs and leave you with nothing to eat."

"Given the relationship between you and me, it would be awkward to call me senior. Just call me senior sister." Shang Qingmeng said reasonably.

"That said, we didn't have any relationship."

Xiang Yuan knew that Shang Qingmeng had cut off all emotions and desires, and did not have the shyness of a girl, so he spoke very impolitely: "Besides, I call the third generation disciples of Jianxinzhai, that is, your nephews, "senior sister" all the time, so it is only natural for me to call you "senior."

“They can change it.”

"..."

Xiang Yuan said nothing, but a cry of sorrow came from his heart.

Blue smoke——

As the saying goes, one never visits a temple without a reason. Xiang Yuan could probably guess Shang Qingmeng's intention. He tightened his belt and said unhappily, "Sister Shang, Sword Master Su Ran has something to say..."

"Master is in seclusion, so he won't know."

This is why you secretly went out to collect herbs. You are so cautious!

Also, can you please not be like this? It's like a young couple trying to eat the forbidden fruit away from their parents.

Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes. "If we don't agree, we can't make plans together. I'm sorry that I can't agree with you. Sect Leader Su Ran will definitely know because I will tell her."

"Don't you dare go back to Jian Xin Zhai again."

"..."

Damn, you’re so good at judging people!
Is this the benefit of cutting off the seven emotions and six desires? Without interference from below, the thinking is clear.

Seeing Xiang Yuan not saying anything and just rolling his eyes, Shang Qingmeng took two steps forward and said directly, "I like you."

"What a coincidence, isn't it? I like mine too."

Xiang Yuan waved his hands and said bluntly: "Don't make up excuses for yourself. Do you like me? You are obviously greedy for my body. Bah, you are cheap!"

Xiang Yuan is a very capable person. Shang Qingmeng has cut off all emotions and desires, so she has no romantic feelings at all, and she will not fall in love with him just because of his teasing.

In the final analysis, it's nothing more than that, having tasted the sweetness, they are greedy for the powerful medicine in his body.

Shang Qingmeng was not annoyed at all when she heard Xiang Yuan's sarcastic remarks. To be honest, there was nothing to be angry about. She just coveted Xiang Yuan's body and was afraid that Xiang Yuan could not get over that hurdle, so she said in a tactful way that she liked him.

Xiang Yuan didn't like to hear it, but she had another way.

Shang Qingmeng took two steps forward, untied the belt around her waist, and let her clothes slide down, revealing her shoulders and collarbones. Her eyes were filled with mist, both charming and angry. With just a change of expression, she made the enchantress from southern Xinjiang feel ashamed.

Xiang Yuan: (_)
Where did you learn this trick? Aren't you ashamed?

Although Shang Qingmeng was very beautiful and the peeling petals of the white lotus were extremely tempting in contrast, Xiang Yuan was not greedy at all and even wanted to laugh.

Out of politeness, he turned around, lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders, and tried not to make any sound.

If you don’t know, you would think he was playing basketball!

Shang Qingmeng was not annoyed. She put away her false charm, hugged Xiang Yuan from behind, and calmly explained the purpose of her passionate love. In exchange, Xiang Yuan could do whatever he wanted, just like last time, like that, or like that.

What is contrast? This is contrast!

Everything happens once and there will be a second time. The beautiful woman is in my arms, waiting for you to pick her. Xiang Yuan is not a saint, so he raised his hand and took her into his arms: "Forget it, in such a vast sea of ​​people, it is retribution for us to meet each other. But let me be frank, I did this only to help you practice. It was you who insisted, so we didn't mean it."

You can like me, but you can’t fall in love with me. There are three rules and they must be made clear.

"As it should be."

Shang Qingmeng showed a faint smile. She had cut off all emotions and only pursued the way of swordsmanship in this life. There was absolutely no romance between women and boys.

Not to mention that Xiang Yuan had never investigated deeply, which led to her being completely clueless now, even if Xiang Yuan had investigated deeply, she would have been able to face it calmly and not be emotional.

It’s no big deal. Cultivation is cultivation, life is life. She knows it clearly.

She looked confident and confident.

At this point, Xiang Yuan had nothing more to say. He embraced the beauty in his arms and walked into the house. He took the opportunity to gather her scattered clothes. The God of Pure Love said unhappily: "You want to fool around with me, fine, but remember to be obedient and abide by my rules. In the future, if you have anything to say outside, talk nicely and behave properly. If you take off more clothes in the house, if someone sees you, I will be at a big disadvantage."

"Ah."

"Oh."

【Fairy's Practice】

Xiang Yuan and Shang Qingmeng are neither too familiar nor too unfamiliar with each other. They spend more time kissing each other than talking, and there is no affection between them at all.

The tug-of-war lasted for two days. During the period, the two men opened their hearts and exchanged their sword-fighting experiences. Xiang Yuan took the biggest share, while Shang Qingmeng took the smaller share. Both of them made a profit.

As far as swordsmanship is concerned, Xiang Yuan is a latecomer, and he is not good at using a sword, so he cannot catch up with Shang Qingmeng even if he tries hard. However, he is very good at taking advantage of others. Shang Qingmeng was very happy to see the advantage his master had.

Shang Qingmeng doesn't have Xiang Yuan's strong animal-level physique, so he can't fleece him even if he wants to. He finds out Xiang Yuan's trick and instigates him to go to Jianxinzhai Xiaodongtian again to fleece Su Ran Jian Zun again. Bring it back to me after you've fleeced him!
The thought of cutting off all emotions made Xiang Yuan roll his eyes again. He felt that he could not keep up with Shang Qingmeng's pace at all. Not wanting the rhythm to be controlled by her, he pressed Shang Qingmeng's head, causing her to roll her eyes as well.

Bang Bang Bang!
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, which was a good time for a secret transaction. There was a muffled knock on the door outside.

Xiang Yuan sensed that it was Taoist Zi Ping who came. He felt that time passed so quickly and asked Shang Qing Meng to put on her clothes. He said, "Sister Zi Ping, I'm taking a shower. There is a terrifying thing. It looks ominous. Please don't come in. Wait for me to change clothes."

"Why is Ziping here?" Shang Qingmeng asked puzzledly.

"I asked her for advice on how to make an elixir..."

Xiang Yuan changed his words halfway through his speech: "Why should I explain all this to you? You too, why do you care so much?"

Shang Qingmeng grasped the key point and frowned, "Zi Ping came for medicine? You were very close to her? When did it happen?"

"What does it have to do with you? Should you be jealous? Hurry up and change your clothes. Remember not to go through the front door. It would be bad if she saw you."

"In the way!"

"nothing!"

Xiang Yuan patted his buttocks and said, "There is an old saying that goes, 'Tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows.' It means that the future is very long. If you don't do something today, you will have a chance in the future. Don't worry."

Shang Qingmeng looked worried, and pointed at Cheng Jian and carved a sword formula on Xiang Yuan's chest: "Let's stop here today. I know you are just trying to evade the issue. Leave this sword formula here. If I need you, I can find you anytime."

"Okay, okay, okay. All up to you. Just remember to go through the back door and don't get caught..."

Xiang Yuan was halfway through his words when he saw Shang Qingmeng finish tidying up his clothes, and then he pushed open the door and walked out.

"Zi Ping."

"Ah, big, big...Senior Sister?!"

Outside the door, Taoist Ziping was stunned when he saw the senior sister coming towards him.

Until Shang Qingmeng's indifferent back disappeared, she still stood there, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Why is it the senior sister?

Why does Senior Sister speak so harshly?
Just when Xiang Yuan said he wanted to take a bath, Taoist Ziping guessed that something fishy was going on in the house, and wondered which shameless person had secretly come down the mountain to collect herbs.

According to the agreement with Xiang Yuan, Qin Zhaorong was detained by her in Jianxinzhai and given a small quiet room. She missed the good chicken and is currently sighing.

It’s not Qin Zhaorong, nor can it be Su Ya and Ling Yu. Who could it be? The next generation of disciples?

Taoist Zi Ping's imagination ran wild, and he found hundreds of possibilities. He wanted to rush in and catch the adulterers, but he was afraid that the filth in the house would pollute his eyes and it would be unlucky. So he suppressed the impulse.

He didn't dare to say anything or ask anything. He just had a stern face as the dean of studies, waiting for the shameless little bitch to walk out the door so that he could scold her.

Then Shang Qingmeng came out.

As soon as she opened her mouth, a strong smell of medicine rushed into her nose and almost made her faint.

“How many herbs have been collected…”

Master Zi Ping murmured to herself, shook her head repeatedly, and refused, "Impossible, Senior Sister is pure and innocent, and Young Master Xiang is not interested in women. This is absolutely impossible. It must be that I am thinking too much."

Having said this, she looked towards the room with a quick gaze, hoping to see a righteous young man sitting upright.

Come on, you are innocent!
Seeing this, Xiang Yuan pulled up his belt and packed up the messy bedding on the bed.

Puff!

Taoist Ziping was stabbed in the chest by a sword, and his face turned alternately blue and white. Thinking of Qin Zhaorong crying in the small dark room, he felt deeply that he had misunderstood his junior sister.

The junior sister was only good at showing off in words. If she was really asked to do it, she would be a typical coward. On the contrary, the senior sister picked the herbs without saying a word.

"Junior Sister Ziping, why are you here just now?"

"Shut up, who is your junior sister? Stop talking nonsense!"

From a senior to a junior sister, Zi Ping was furious on the spot, but soon, she curiously approached Xiang Yuan, covered her nose and said: "What's going on, what happened in the small cave, why did the senior sister and you... I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, tell me about it."

Come on, you are a motorcycle!

As expected of your Jianxinzhai, one of the few serious people there, but also a little bit unserious.

Taoist Ziping was so anxious that he was almost dying from this gossip.

Xiang Yuan was not in a hurry at all. He had spent the past two days giving advice and enjoying the smoothness of life. His soul had been sublimated and he had gotten rid of the low taste of spreading gossip. He rolled his eyes at Taoist Zi Ping and said, "Some things are understood by those who understand, and those who don't understand can't understand even if you tell them. Don't ask. The interests involved are too great. It won't do you any good to tell them. I can only say that the water is very deep. Even I, the person involved, can only barely grasp it."

"What a mess! You think you are so capable, right? That's not how you spoke to me in Jianxinzhai!" Taoist Ziping was furious and vowed to explain things to Xiang Yuan.

How could she tolerate listening to only half of the gossip, which was like eating noodles without garlic?

And Xiang Yuan’s attitude of being rude at first and respectful later is so annoying!
Taoist Zi Ping raised his hand and grabbed Xiang Yuan's wrist, and exerted force...

Xiang Yuan broke free and grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

“It hurts! It’s going to break, it’s going to break!”

Xiang Yuan exerted a little force, causing Taoist Ziping to cry out in pain, but he would not tolerate it. When he was in Jianxinzhai, he was teased and bullied by the female hooligan. Now he was bullied again after leaving Jianxinzhai. It would be a waste for him to leave Jianxinzhai!

"Junior sister Ziping, don't be unconvinced. To put it in a broader sense, considering the relationship between me and your senior sister, there is a hierarchy between the elders and the younger ones, so it is reasonable for me to call you junior sister."

Xiang Yuan snorted twice and released Taoist Zi Ping's wrist. "To put it mildly, this courtyard is empty and deserted. With my skills, I can make you call me senior in just a few moves."

Taoist Ziping rubbed his wrist and said, "You've grown up, kid. If you have the guts, don't go to Jianxinzhai in the future. I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"What are you still standing there for? Call me brother!"

"Ah, really?"

"So you call me senior?"

"Teacher, senior brother."

"No way, Ping, you're serious. I was just talking. There's nothing between me and your senior sister."

Xiang Yuan laughed out loud. All the grievances he had suffered in Jianxinzhai these days disappeared. He felt clear-headed and was extremely happy.

According to the law of conservation of understanding, Xiang Yuan's thoughts were understood, but Taoist Zi Ping blocked his thoughts and said coldly, "Brother, do you still want the Red Lotus Pill I made? Or wait until you finish laughing, and then I'll come back."

Xiang Yuan slapped his forehead, thinking that it was too early to show off, and he should wait until he got the elixir before being arrogant.

"Senior Zi Ping!"

"Don't call me senior, call me junior sister!"

The offensive and defensive momentum was reversed, and Xiang Yuan became submissive again.

The two of them pulled each other back and forth for a while, and Taoist Zi Ping waved his hand to roll up the flowing cloud wind, dispersing the strange smell in the room, and took out five bottles of "Red Lotus Pills" and placed them in a row on the table.

The full name is Red Lotus Condensing Yuan Pill. Taoist Ziping used Xiang Yuan's blood medicine as the main ingredient, supplemented with natural treasures in different proportions, and then refined it using the methods of pharmacology and alchemy.

After listening to her clear and logical talk, Xiang Yuan became interested and took out a Red Lotus Pill and swallowed it.

Make up for yourself!
After trying the medicine, Xiang Yuan immediately discovered the benefits of this pill. The medicinal power was dispensable to him, but because the pill formula was scientifically and reasonably matched, the medicinal properties of the blood medicine were greatly magnified, making it more cost-effective than swallowing the blood medicine directly.

Very tonic, this is a very, very big cup!
Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked for the recipe. Seeing Taoist Ziping still sneering, he felt annoyed that he had been too proud too soon and had offended him so much.

If you had known earlier that you were so good at refining pills, how could Senior Ziping be reduced to being your junior sister? She must be your senior!
Xiang Yuan came forward with a shy pretty face, held Taoist Ziping's arm, and after he sat down, he served him tea and water, looking particularly pleasing.

"You are quite sensible and filial."

Taoist Zi Ping took the tea and took a sip: "However, it's too late to regret now. The cause and effect between you and me has been resolved. It ends here!"

"Alas, I wanted to give you some more blood medicine. After the elixir is completed, you can enjoy great wealth through this business..."

Xiang Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to make this filthy money, there are plenty of people who can make it. I'll just go find the next destined person."

"senior!"

Taoist Ziping had a sweet smile on her face, which was very sweet and delicate. She no longer had the icy face that usually kept people away. She held Xiang Yuan's arm, waited for him to sit down, and served him tea and water, which was particularly pleasing.

The offensive and defensive momentum is reversed again!

"You are quite sensible and filial."

Xiang Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Just as he swallowed it, he remembered that Taoist Ziping had just drunk this cup of water. He put it down with a look of disgust and spat twice in front of him.

You still dislike it!

Taoist Ziping glared at Xiang Yuan in dissatisfaction, and the two of them finalized the cooperation terms. Xiang Yuan would provide the main medicine, and Taoist Ziping would provide the auxiliary medicine, manpower, time, and sales of Jianxinzhai's shop. The profits would be divided into 30% and 70% by Jianxinzhai after taking taxes.

"Why is it only 30%?"

"Whether you want to earn it or not, even if you kneel down to beg for it, it won't work!"

"..."

Taoist Ziping was so angry that he just slapped his forehead, angry at himself for giving the token to Xiang Yuan so early. Now that Xiang Yuan had become stronger, Sancheng should thank him.

I will never be a positive character again!
Thinking of this, Taoist Zi Ping glanced at the position of Xiang Yuan Ren Zhong, and was unable to speak, so he transmitted his voice: "Brother, we are family, so let's not talk about different things. You have another great medicine on you, which is a concentrated essence, and the medicinal power is more than ten times better. Can you give some to me, so that I can take it back and study it."

"puff!"
