Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 8 Spiritual Root Creation Pill

There is a narrow escape from the devil's chasm between heaven and earth.

The world is never peaceful.

There are domestic pigs and pheasants that often become demons, causing trouble and wreaking havoc on the people.

There is a demon from outer space descending upon the world, and once it appears, it will be a disaster that will annihilate one side.

The so-called Heavenly Abyss Demonic Gap is the place where these extraterritorial demons may descend at any time.

The monks guarding nearby must constantly fight against the demonic energy escaping from the demonic gap, and at the same time face the monsters distorted by this demonic energy.

Not to mention a small Qi Refining cultivator in the forest, even a Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivator would not be able to stay there for a long time.

The immortal cultivation sects scattered across the country usually enjoy offerings from mortals, but it is also their natural duty to create rifts in the heavenly abysses and demonic rifts that have been torn apart in various places.

The Zhengyang Sect and three other sects of similar size in the surrounding area are responsible for guarding a Tianyuan Demonic Gap, rotating every month, and it is soon their turn.

Lin Jian is a sword cultivator who has been practicing for eight years. If he still wants to stay in the sect, it is his duty to fulfill it.

Before this, he had been saving money like crazy to buy a flying sword, just in preparation for this day.

If he had a flying sword, he would have more means to use, and Lin Jian would have a little more confidence.

But I don’t have any flying sword now. Do I have to rely on the ordinary iron sword in my hand to fight against the demons in Tianyuan?

"Disciple, I will try." Lin Jian bit his lips and compromised in a low voice.

"That's right." Zhenyang's expression relaxed, and he looked kind again. "A place like the Tianyuan Demonic Crack is not a place that ordinary people can go to."

……

As he left the forest, another person appeared in the quiet room.

"Zhen Yang, you really have feelings for your disciple? You're stalling for time for him, why don't you tell him that the elders are planning to expel this kid from the sect?"

Zhen Yang's face was expressionless. "No matter how useless he is, he's still my disciple! I was the one who brought him up the mountain, so there's no way I'll just leave him alone. Besides... he's not that bad."

Although he kept saying that this disciple had poor talent, he was actually not that bad.

It’s just that sword cultivation does require a lot of resources, and this kid is penniless and has no family background.

Without resources or background, you can only rely on hard work and time to persevere.

He saw Lin Jian working hard to accumulate resources every day besides practicing. He knew that he could master the Flying Sword Technique in eight years despite the burden of so many chores, so his aptitude was not bad.

But the world of cultivating immortals has never been a world full of humanity.

If you can't use your talent to break the shackles of convention, that's what everyone calls "lack of talent."

The sect is not a charity. If the disciples are not talented, they should just honestly create some tangible and visible benefits, which can also be regarded as contributing to the construction of the sect.

Otherwise... you will be expelled from the sect.

This kind of expulsion is not just a simple severance of ties. The expelled disciples even have to bear a considerable amount of "sect training debt".

If you don't pay off the debt, you will be forced to be thrown into the Tianyuan Demon Crack to be guarded, and the time of guarding will depend on the amount of debt you owe.

If you hold on until the end and survive, your debts will be cleared and you will be free.

But in that case, not only would he still have to guard the Tianyuan Demonic Crack, but most importantly, he would lack the sect's training and channels. So why not just gamble his life directly within the sect?
Upon hearing Zhenyang's words, the visitor sneered dismissively, "You can just lie to yourself with these words. If you really want to care about your disciple, why don't you tell him what happened to those who chose elixirs, instruments, plants, and formations? Are the elixirs selling well? He's just using the name of a new apprentice to create hype. Once the hype is over, he'll have to spend the rest of his life paying off the huge sum he borrowed to buy the blessed land. Are spiritual herbs in short supply? Of course, with such a low compulsory collection price, there won't be enough supply..."

"That's enough!" Zhen Yang shouted, "I'm going to start breathing."

After driving away the intruder, Zhenyang sat alone in the dark with a dim look in his eyes.

The situation is like this, how can he, a mere Jindan cultivator, change it?
The path of immortality is ethereal, but the path of humanity should be followed.

If you don’t cultivate external things, you won’t even be qualified to embark on the path of cultivation.

The sect always divides their monks and ordinary people into two categories, but in fact there are many differences between the two.

In the practice of cultivating immortals, how many people stop at the Golden Elixir stage or even the Foundation Establishment stage for their entire lives?
Not to mention the rampant foreign enemies, even the sect leaders themselves may not live a peaceful life.

In this situation, how much difference is there between the forest and myself?
……

After leaving his master's meditation room, Lin Jian quickly got rid of his unhappy mood and didn't care about the little trouble that had just happened.

I have been in the world of cultivating immortals for eight years, and I live one day at a time.

As an unknown person in the big city, he was already accustomed to these things and even felt smug that he had a choice.

Between facing the college entrance examination and being forced to change his career as an art student, he chose to repeat the grade for observation.

I thought I was going to be thrown into the abyss of the sky in the next second. Go back and look at my one million!

When I returned to the woods in the courtyard, I saw Chunxue standing in the courtyard staring at the sky in a daze. When she was standing alone, she was wearing a tight white dress that was easy for her to move in, and she really had the temperament of an independent fairy.

I don’t know why those people in the sect treat her as an ordinary mortal woman.

But it’s better this way… No one is paying attention, so naturally no one will suspect her background.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Jian asked with a smile.

"You're back?" Haruyuki turned around suddenly, his hands behind his back, his eyes curved into a smile. "I've got a plan..."

The repayment of 990,000 high-grade spirit stones greatly encouraged her enthusiasm, and her mind was now full of the operating regulations of the "Sword Immortal Training Manual".

"V you 50, tell me."

Looking at the fifty low-grade spirit stones that suddenly appeared in his hand, Chunxue was startled for a moment, and then his whole face became visibly happy.

I made money again! Yay!
"From now on, I will train you step by step to become the second greatest swordsman in the world!"

"Yeah." Lin Jian looked at the other person expectantly.

Here they come, secrets of magic weapons, just click to get them.

It is said that every time traveler will have his or her own plug-in. The previous eight years were all preparations, and my good fortune has finally arrived!
"You are now in the Qi Refining Stage."

"Correct!"

"Realm is kingly, the first priority right now is to complete the foundation!"

"can."

"But the speed at which you absorb spiritual energy through your own practice is very slow."

"That's right!"

"So, we must first change your spiritual roots."

"Emm..." Lin Jian felt that he was happy too early.

Chunxue seemed oblivious to this and continued to ask with high spirits, "Have you heard of the Spiritual Root Creation Pill?"

"I heard."

"That's it!" Haruyuki decided.

Lin Jian held onto a last glimmer of hope and asked, "Do you have one?"

The storage ring is on her hand, and this girl's pockets are cleaner than her face.

If you can still find this kind of elixir, then your search in the forest was not thorough enough.

As expected, Haruyuki shook his head, "No..."

"Do you have the raw materials?"

Haruyuki shook his head again, dumbly, "No."

"Do you have money to buy raw materials?"

Haruyuki seemed to finally realize the problem and shook his head in confusion and hesitation, "No."

Lin Jian clapped his hands, "What a coincidence! I don't have any either. If I had money, I would have asked my senior brother to help me refine it. But the key point now is... we don't have any money!"

After buying the flying sword, there are still 1773 spirit stones left. Adding the bounty for submitting the task of killing the pig monster after returning, there are still spirit stones left in the bank.

The senior brother knows how to make the Spirit Root Creation Pill, but if Lin Jian takes the money to ask him to customize it, the senior brother will probably not kick him out so rudely for the sake of their fellow disciples.

Ultimately, it comes down to no money.

Chunxue watched helplessly as the fifty low-grade spirit stones he had just obtained slipped away.

Lin Jian stuffed the spirit stones back into his storage bag and patted Chunxue's shoulder seriously. "You're very motivated! You've paid back another fifty low-grade spirit stones. Keep it up! You're only one step away from paying off your debt."

Seeing Linjian getting up to leave, Haruyuki raised his watery eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Don't ask about the creditors."

He wants to repair the flying sword.
