Chapter 2: Immortal Road Battle
Don’t say that others are early risers; there are others who are even earlier than you.

On the path of spiritual practice, fellow practitioners are both fellow Taoists, but they are also competitors for the same path.

When Zhong Lishan heard that his eleventh brother Zhong Lixiao was going to work with him in Yuliangzhuang, he was a little surprised.

This reaction was even more exaggerated than when Zhong Lixiao heard that Zhong Lishan was going to take up the position in Yuliangzhuang!
In Zhong Lixiao's eyes, Zhong Lishan was impatient and indulged in enjoyment. If he hadn't been lucky and taken a lot of spiritual medicine, he might not have been able to catch up with him in cultivation.

Similarly, in Zhong Lishan's heart, his eleventh brother Zhong Lixiao had become completely stupid due to practicing too much. He was just a boring idiot and even regarded mundane martial arts as a treasure.

I heard that he not only practiced swordsmanship, but also cultivated mundane footwork, which made Zhong Lishan quite disdainful.

If I were to describe his truest thoughts, it would be: How can he be on par with me?
of course.

Zhong Lishan's confidence, apart from the fact that he looked down on Zhong Lixiao's "dumb" personality, came more from his father's high position in charge of Zhong's intelligence and his mother's wealthy family.

It is precisely because of many reasons such as the differences in their world views that, although the relationship between Zhong Lishan and Zhong Lixiao cannot be said to be as hostile as water and fire, it is not really a good one.

but.

As I said before, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Zhong Lishan's eyes flickered as he asked, "Mom, could it be that Eleven, that idiot, has heard some rumors?"

Fourth Madam Zhang Shuyuan frowned slightly and said, "It is very likely that during the meeting to assign tasks, my sister-in-law heard that I chose Yuliang Manor and then followed my lead in making the selection. Everyone was quite surprised at the time."

Zhong Lishan's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

He had a golden carp to himself, and no one knew better than him how beneficial these spiritual creatures were to spiritual practice.

Once he really catches the fire fox in Yuliang Manor, the moonlight spirituality contained in its fox blood will surely help him break through the bottleneck and leap into the fourth level of Qi training.

Even though it was only an improvement of one level, it meant that he had officially entered the middle stage of Qi training, and there would be no bottlenecks in the fifth and sixth levels of Qi training.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you will achieve it sooner or later, and your status in the family will definitely improve significantly.

Take his current level of Qi training at the third level for example. At best he can only look after spiritual fields, orchards, fish ponds, forests and other remote and humble industries.

But once he reaches the middle stage of Qi training, he will be able to take care of the family restaurant, fairy clothing shop, medicine shop and other businesses, and he will at least be a big manager.

Not only is the workplace in the more prosperous Xianjia Market, but there is also a special training room. The monthly salary is at least five or six spirit stones.

It’s not like now, looking after the farm of Yuliang Manor for a year only gets an allowance of about five spirit stones, plus a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill at most.

The Qi Gathering Pill is the lowest level of medicine, and a whole bottle is only worth two spirit stones.

Even though there is a share of spiritual food, farming is really hard. You need to use the "Spiritual Rain Technique" and "Fertilizer Soil Technique" all the time, and the time for cultivation is very tight. It's like treating people like animals.

Even if you work so hard, whether you can have a good harvest depends on God's will. It's not at all free and easy.

Compared with jobs in the city, the salary is a world of difference!

Even if he really made money from farming, Zhong Lishan would not be envious at all.

What's more, a spiritual creature like the fire fox is full of treasures.

Fox blood can help break through barriers and improve cultivation, its fur can be used to make talisman pens and robes, its meat can be sold to spiritual food shops, and even its bones can be used to make jewelry.

A whole set can be exchanged for at least twenty spirit stones, and you can even afford the more precious Huangya Dan.

How could such a benefit be given to that idiot Eleven for free?
Seeing her son's face was a little ugly, the fourth wife Zhang Shuyuan smiled and said, "Now you know how to be anxious, right? Although Eleven's aptitude is a little poor, his heart to the Tao is the most determined, and he is also the most willing to work hard in cultivation."

"When you and the other boys still need your parents to use sticks to force and supervise you, Eleven has a full schedule every day to fight with you. You may not be able to beat him!"

Zhong Lishan's face twitched a little.

Although he often felt a little disdainful in his heart, thinking that Eleven was a fool and had become stupid from practicing, Zhong Lixiao was a child from another family, and his parents had often talked about him in front of them since he was a child.

There is no doubt that as sensible as Zhong Lixiao is in the eyes of their parents, he is just as annoying in the eyes of the younger generation.

Children don’t have any scheming minds. If I hate you, I will beat you up without even having to look for a reason.

but.

From childhood to adulthood, once a fight really breaks out, they are always the ones who suffer, and they can't even win a lawsuit.

The idiot Eleven is not only good at martial arts, but also has a high level of attainment in magic.

He knows the following skills: "Fireball Technique", "Fire Crow Technique", "Light Body Technique", "Earth Cone Technique", "Earth Spike Technique", "Earth Escape Technique", "Light Cloud and Rain Technique", "Vine Technique", and even the extremely difficult "Walking on Water Technique".

What a pervert!
Seeing her son in trouble, Fourth Madam Zhang Shuyuan smiled and handed something to Zhong Lishan.

When Zhong Lishan saw it, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Because what his mother handed him was actually a storage bag.

Born into a family of immortal cultivators, Zhong Lishan had long known the benefits of storage bags and had longed for them. However, even a low-grade storage bag would cost around 20 spirit stones. Although the Zhong family was an immortal cultivator family and had a lot of family property, most of what they earned was gold and silver from the mortal world, and materials related to cultivation were really in short supply.

As for places to spend money, there are even more.

The bulk of the money must either be paid to Baiyun Temple, or used to supply the ancestor, the second uncle, and a few talented immortal seedlings for cultivation.

When it came to him, it was really pitifully little.

He really can't afford a storage bag!
Zhong Lishan immediately started playing with it excitedly. When he opened the storage bag, he found that there was a magic weapon inside.

When I took it out, I found it was a small seal the size of a baby's palm, shining with a green light, which was very beautiful.

Zhong Lishan asked in surprise, "Mom, is this a magic weapon?"

Zhang Shuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's a low-grade magic weapon, the Qingmu Seal. By inputting magic power into it, it can change its size as desired. It is very powerful."

In the world of cultivation, armor-type defensive magic weapons are the most expensive, other defensive magic weapons are second, and offensive magic weapons are the cheapest.

But this is a magic weapon. Even the cheapest one will cost at least several spirit stones.

After playing with it for a while, Zhong Lishan became even more confident.

"Thank you, mother."

"The person you should thank more is your grandma."

"Thank you grandma, and thank you mom."

Zhang Yuanshu laughed immediately, and then said seriously, "Don't lose in Yuliang Village."

Zhong Lishan raised his eyebrows immediately, and said with great joy, "This time I will let that idiot Eleven know that practicing hard is useless, and he can't snatch the opportunity that belongs to me."

at the same time.

The third wife, Li Yi, also helped her son to prepare everything he would need for his work in Yuliangzhuang overnight.

Clothes, money, food, and even various things that need to be taken care of in taking care of the farm.

Finally, Li Yi stuffed two more bottles of Qi Gathering Pills into Zhong Lixiao's hands.

"Xiao'er, consider these two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills as your birthday gift. Don't think it's too little."

As Li Yi was talking, he suddenly couldn't continue.

but.

The third house is not the only child with spiritual roots, Zhong Lixiao. They focus more of their attention on the eldest son, Zhong Liting.

Compared to the second son Zhong Lixiao, the eldest son Zhong Liting has much better qualifications and is the immortal seedling that the clan is focusing on cultivating.

Zhong Lixiao took the Qi Gathering Pill and said sensibly, "Two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills are not too little, they are worth four spirit stones. Leave more resources to my brother, he has better qualifications than me."

Li Yi was speechless for a while.

Then she realized that her second son had always been very sensible since he was a child and rarely competed with his brother for anything.

Li Yi turned his head slightly embarrassedly and looked at Zhong Sheng who was packing up not far from the door, then quickly walked out.

Not long after, Zhong Lixiao heard instructions coming from outside the house.

It was nothing more than reminding Zhong Sheng not to act dishonestly when he arrived at Yuliang Manor, and to make sure to serve the young master well.

Zhong Sheng is Zhong Lixiao's servant. They grew up together and are master and servant but also playmates.

His father was given the surname Zhong at an early age, and the whole family was tied to the Zhong family early on.

The most rare thing is that Zhong Sheng also possesses spiritual roots, which is extremely rare. Although he only has the worst five spiritual roots, having and not having are definitely two different concepts.

In addition, his mother also specially picked a maid from his courtyard and asked her to go to Yuliangzhuang to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After traveling through time for eighteen years, except for his poor aptitude for cultivation, Zhong Lixiao has lived a more comfortable life in all aspects in this life than in his previous life.

but.

What people fear most is comparison!

On the one hand, he has an elder brother who is very qualified and has been identified as a fairy seedling. On the other hand, he has an unyielding heart towards the truth. He is really very unwilling to accept this.

The only way to succeed is to fight for it. When he goes to Yuliangzhuang, he must get a share of the unknown opportunity!
