NOVEL WEB Chapter 23 - 500 Changes to 1, Chu Mengyou almost lost his temper
Li Chuan also learned from Chu Xuan that the sect leader had left the sect with the Seventh Elder and several other elders.
This only confirmed his suspicion that the sect leader and the others could not wait for He Fenglin to wake up and had gone to look for him.
What Li Chuan did not expect was that when he left the Seventh Elder’s Peak, he actually saw Cao Tianyang.
This time, Cao Tianyang was not with the gray-clad Ling Tianzhu, but with a disciple of Qiliangfeng.
The disciple took him to see Mu Yuling’s apprentice, Lü Chengzhou.
Li Chuan knew a little bit about lip-reading, so he stood at a distance and watched for a while.
He saw the disciple who brought Cao Tianyang say to Lu Chengzhou, “Senior Brother Lu, this is Cao Tianyang, the manager of Small World No. 1 and a first-level spirit plant cultivator. A few years ago, he discovered a Spirit-Draining Grass planted in the spirit field, but someone plucked it yesterday.”
“Spirit-Draining Grass, what is it?” Lu Chengzhou said nonchalantly, “It’s just a grass, so what if someone picked it? Whoever picked it should pay for it, right?
Cao Tianyang hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Lu, the spirit-draining grass is not an ordinary first-order spirit grass. It can increase the success rate and quality of the pills made from it. Yesterday, the person who picked my grass used it to exchange 5,000 spirit stones and 5,000 contributions in the task hall…”
“5,000 contributions?!” Lv Chengzhou’s suddenly raised voice startled Cao Tianyang, who immediately forgot what he was going to say next and stood there in a daze.
Aside from him, Li Chuan, who was not nearby, could also hear Lv Chengzhou’s voice.
“It’s only 5,000 posts, why get so upset?” Li Chuan muttered nonchalantly.
As a wealthy man, how could he know the suffering of cultivators from all walks of life? Even though Lu Chengzhou and the others are the direct disciples of the elders, they receive various benefits and hidden income.
But their consumption is also high. After all, if they want to improve their strength quickly, it is absolutely impossible without the support of resources.
So even though they have been building a foundation for a long time, their personal savings are not necessarily greater than during the qi cultivation period.
This is like Li Chuan’s previous life. A person who lives in a big city, owns a property worth tens of millions of yuan, and earns 20,000 yuan a month will not necessarily have more savings than a person who lives in a small county, owns a property worth a few hundred thousand yuan, and earns 8,000 yuan a month.
Li Chuan doesn’t even own expensive clothes, and he hasn’t contributed much to consumption. Of course, he doesn’t think that 5,000 is a lot. In the future, he will slowly realize… Well, actually, at the rate he’s making money, he may never realize that he’s not contributing enough.
It would be a bit premature to talk to him about the amount of contribution!
Lv Chengzhou said to Cao Tianyang, “Go on, what happened in the end? Who is the disciple who took your things, and is someone protecting him?”
Cao Tianyang hurriedly said, “All I know is that the one who picked my spiritual grass was a miserable old man. I originally wanted to ask the Ink Junior Sister in the task hall to help me check the information on that person, but the Ink Junior Sister refused and even kicked me out of the task hall.”
“Originally, I was too ashamed to bother you seniors with such a thing, but I really couldn’t swallow this humiliation…”
Lv Chengzhou: “The junior sister you are referring to, is she Mo Xiangling? She is the personal choice of the sect leader to be in charge of the Outer Mission Hall, so it is normal for her to ignore you.”
“As for the wretched old man who picked your spirit grass, it is not difficult to find out. After all, there are not many old men at the Qi Cultivation level in the Yin-Yang Sect, and there are even fewer wretched ones.”
“When I have time, I will go and look for you. I want to see who would dare to touch something that belongs to someone from the Seventh Elder Peak.”
Li Chuan saw that Lu Chengzhou said that Mo Xiangling was personally chosen by the sect leader, and he immediately understood where Mo Xiangling got the confidence to test the spirit grass in such a grand manner every time.
As long as the sect leader did not fall, who would dare to harm her?
Li Chuan watched from a distance for a while, and even when Cao Tianyang looked at him as he left, he nodded to Cao Tianyang, who was flattered for a while, thinking that he was a disciple of the Seventh Elder Peak, so he quickly responded with a smile.
“The rumors are spreading like wildfire. I told you that if you’re looking for a miserable old man, you won’t find me,” Li Chuan followed him and left.
When Cao Tianyang said wretched old man, he felt safe.
Because in his heart, he had a bright and majestic image, and he was a sage with a Daoist air.
So how could Cao Tianyang and the others find him if they searched by the standards of a wretched old man?
It can only be said that there is a huge gap between the self that Li Chuan sees in himself and the self that others see in him.
Back at the mansion, when he saw Chu Mengyou, Li Chuan suddenly became playful and threw a spirit stone at Chu Mengyou, saying that this time it would help her temper her heart and character.
The fact that 500 had become 1 almost made Chu Mengyou lose her temper and beat him up.
However, Li Chuan euphemistically said that he would help Chu Mengyou improve herself so that she would not be disturbed by her evil thoughts in the future.
It turned out that Chu Mengyou fell for it, thinking that she was angry with Li Chuan because she had not cultivated her heart enough.
That was great. In the following days, Li Chuan would occasionally throw some spirit stones at Chu Mengyou whenever he felt like it to help her cultivate her heart.
Over the next ten days or so, Li Chuan began to study the cultivation methods. In addition to asking Chu Mengyou for advice, he even went to a special lecture hall to attend a cultivation class.
Originally, the class was only for new or beginning practitioners of the Yin-Yang sect. Li Chuan had been practicing for decades, so his foundation was solid, if not excellent.
However, he knew too little about the cultivation methods of the Yin-Yang sect, and he also wanted to hear the cultivation experiences of others.
Although many of the instructors were not as good as Chu Mengyou, it was always a good idea to learn from the best.
As it turned out, he was right.
He finally had an epiphany and entered the fourth level of qi cultivation.
【Lord of Fortune Blessed】: Li Chuan
Life span: 49 years/55 years
Level]: Fourth level of qi cultivation
【Fortune-Blessed】: 11
Spirit Planting Technique 1st level 1st level 0/1
1st level Spirit Plant Identification 10th level
1st level spirit land identification 1st level 0/1
1st level Spirit Seed Cultivation 1st level 0/1
1st level spirit plant cultivation 1st level 0/1
He gained 5 years of life, and the shadow of death finally dissipated.
His first-level Spirit Plant Cultivation had also reached the full level and could no longer be upgraded. As for what to upgrade next, he hadn’t decided yet. After all, only one Spirit Plant Identification could make him rich, so he was saving his luck for later.
As for the first level of Spirit Planting Technique, he could not upgrade it now. He guessed that he would have to wait until all 4 subcategories were full before he could upgrade.
“Senior Sister, how many Spirit Stones do you need to exchange for the Building a Foundation Pill?” Li Chuan asked Chu Mengyou.
Chu Mengyou’s mind sank into the Qiankun Bag and she said, “More than 1,800, I think. Junior brother, you have to work hard, I’m counting on you for the Building a Foundation Pill.
She thought Li Chuan had run out of Spirit Stones and was going to go out to get more, so she cheered him on.
However, Li Chuan waved his hand, and a pile of Spirit Stones appeared on the bed.
Chu Mengyou’s beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with surprise. After sweeping her spiritual consciousness over the spirit stones, she looked at Li Chuan in confusion and asked, “A total of 3,000 spirit stones, junior brother, what does that mean?”
