Chapter 53: Billions of Tips (+4)
Everyone was chatting around the campfire. The female cultivator who took the order for the cloak was working quickly. Tu Liuniang and Wei Wenxin sat down, and their chests were straightened even more!
After chatting about all sorts of things, the wind and snow started to get stronger again.
But it was still early, so the male and female cultivators simply gathered together and continued chatting.
"Fellow Daoist Wei must have come from a good family, and he is relatively new to the world. When you come out to gain experience, you must be more careful and not be fooled by others again."
There were twelve people, including Wei Wenxin and only five female practitioners, who were all in Tu Liuniang's big tent at this time.
Hearing them remind him like this, Wei Wenxin responded sincerely: "How did you know?"
Several people couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle: "We all have eyes! You look completely different from us."
That kind of fearlessness is something a young cultivator from a lower class background would never possess.
As she spoke, one of the female practitioners took out a large wooden basin and began to practice summoning water balls.
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Wei. Look, has my water ball improved?"
Wei Wenxin stretched out a finger, leaned forward, and poked it with eyes wide open. The water ball immediately broke and fell into the large wooden basin with a splash.
"Your spiritual power should be like this, holding it and giving it a cohesive force, which can increase its flexibility."
As soon as Wei Wenxin stretched out her hand, a water ball immediately floated in her palm.
Everyone took turns poking it, but nothing could be done. She couldn't help but put her hands on her hips in triumph, with a reserved smile on her face.
How can someone be so contradictory?
Although she exudes a domineering aura and acts decisively, her words and actions always inadvertently reveal a little bit of innocent cuteness.
It's really rare~
Several female nuns liked her very much. They felt that she was not arrogant and it was really pleasant to chat with her.
On the first night of the trip, Wei Wenxin felt that he had gained a lot, so he slept soundly. In the other eleven tents, the sound of water could be heard all night long.
The next morning, Wei Wenxin stretched lazily and came out of the tent, only to see other people with dark circles under their eyes, standing dazedly by the ditch washing up, with a water ball floating next to each of them.
It’s just that some water balls are big, some are small, some are hot, and some are cold…
After a night of wind and snow, the camp was covered with snow, the dark soil disappeared, and it was all white.
On the dry branches in the distance, there was a pink sun hanging, like a boiled egg yolk.
The gray-robed clerk rang the bell to remind everyone - "Everyone, a new journey is about to begin! Please pack your bags quickly! We will set off on time in a quarter of an hour!"
Everyone is busy.
Some people were talking and laughing, looking relaxed; some were silent, looking sad; some were carefully hiding their calculations, taking one step at a time and looking three steps ahead...
At this moment, Wei Wenxin suddenly understood the significance of her master asking her to come out for training.
After all, her understanding of life is still too shallow.
She had never carefully looked at the various forms of life.
She is now in the late Nascent Soul stage, and it is time for her to slowly prepare for the breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation stage.
She has seen many gifted people who can advance even by lying down, and many seniors who can play all day and still ascend to heaven. Although she always works hard, she actually has a confusion in her heart. She doesn't know why she works so hard?
When she was young, she cultivated hard only because someone bullied her and she had to work hard to protect herself. When she grew up, she began to taste fame and fortune, and she worked hard to make her teachers look good, to make herself more important, and to get more resources from all sides. When she grew up again, she became a senior sister, and she needed to protect several younger ones, so her strength was still indispensable. Later, she was just used to it and couldn't rest...
Why do these people work so hard?
Wei Wenxin was very curious, but she didn't want to hear the answer from them.
She prefers to see it herself rather than what others say.
"You guys didn't sleep all night?"
Climbing onto the gray-haired vulture again, everyone found their seats and sat down. They skillfully shook out the quilts and wrapped themselves up, then took out their food and started eating.
Several of them began to doze off while eating, and the snacks almost got stuck in their nostrils. It was both funny and pitiful.
"Yup!"
Everyone was busy setting off, and had no time to report their learning results to her. When they heard her question, they all got excited. "Friend Wei, do you think my water ball is okay?"
The place was too narrow and there was not enough space, so several people brought out a wooden basin and took turns holding it in their arms to show her how to wash hands with a water ball without breaking it.
Seeing that they had really mastered this little trick, Wei Wenxin still felt very happy even though this was a spell she had improved when she was five years old.
"We replace the spiritual power supporting the water ball with fire spiritual power, and the water ball will become warm water. If you like it hotter, you can output more spiritual power. If you like it warmer, you can output less. If you like ice water, you can even convert it into ice spiritual power. We can use this method to make tea and various cold drinks."
As he spoke, Wei Wenxin took out a teapot he had made himself, and in the blink of an eye he had brewed a pot of fragrant spiritual tea.
Since you love learning so much, is it enough to just master the basic version?
She can also extend various applications from this to make life more convenient and refined!
“I don’t have enough cups here.”
The spiritual tea was already brewed, but she couldn't finish it all by herself, so no one was polite to her.
"It's okay, we have it with us."
Even though the space in the storage bag is limited, everyone still carries basic daily necessities with them.
It happened that everyone was feeling sleepy, so Wei Wenxin poured them a cup of wine one by one. After drinking it, they immediately felt refreshed and no longer felt sleepy.
"You know what, the weather is so cold, and drinking a cup of hot tea warms me up."
"It's so convenient to drink hot tea without a pot or a fire! I have to learn this too!"
……
All kinds of compliments came one after another, and Wei Wenxin was overjoyed!
For the sake of convenience, she always made tea this way. At first, everyone scolded her for wasting food, but later, after getting used to it, they reluctantly admitted that this way of making tea was indeed more convenient.
The children of noble families love tea. What they love is the tone of tea tasting and the benefits brought by various famous teas.
For example, Enlightenment Tea can make one's brain sharper and help one attain enlightenment, but it is actually very bitter and Wei Wenxin doesn't like it at all.
But for ordinary people, drinking tea is more for relieving greasiness, refreshing, and quenching thirst...
This is such low-quality spiritual tea that Yun Jingyi felt his tongue was wronged after taking a sip. It is very difficult for these low-level cultivators to have a sip of it.
Because spiritual tea is very expensive, it is not something that young monks often have on hand.
Although Wei Wenxin himself also drinks this kind of tea, to be honest, it is indeed not a good tea.
The journey was long. Except for the tailor girl who was still diligently making the cloak, the others drank her tea and took out various things to entertain her.
"Eating nuts, chatting, and feeling as happy as a god! You know, I'm a spiritual plant husband. The most common trees in my garden are all kinds of pine trees, haha! I've thought about it. When I get old, I'm going to give myself a Taoist name, Taoist Kusong. When the time comes, I'll leave behind a legacy and give myself a resounding name, called the Secret of the Longevity of All Things."
Piaoxue Sect is rich in various nuts, and there are countless spiritual plant farmers who specialize in growing pine trees in its jurisdiction. His inheritance is of no value at all.
Seeing how shameless he was, everyone booed.
"Pine trees do have a relatively long lifespan among spiritual plants, but you are lying! Can't you just call it "Spiritual Pine Planting Techniques"? "
"Then I won't be able to deceive my apprentice even after I die."
"I saw Granny Liu looking for you a while ago. She wanted her grandson to be your apprentice, but you thought he had mixed spiritual roots and refused to accept him! Who can you blame for this?"
"Your requirements are too high. All those with good talents have been snatched away by various forces long ago. How could it be your turn? Instead of counting on this, you might as well marry a few more wives and concubines and try your best. Maybe you can give birth to a child with excellent spiritual roots."
"I can tell from the first glance that you have never had children. If I were a father, if my child had even a little bit of talent, I would try my best to push him and let him go to a better sect to become a disciple. How could I bear to leave him at home and farm with me?"
"That's true."
This person spoke in a very humorous way. He directly took out a bag of pine nuts from the storage bag, which weighed about ten pounds. When he distributed them to everyone, he did not feel sorry at all.
Taking a handful of pine nuts with a faint spiritual aura, Wei Wenxin thanked them politely. Seeing that they were chatting happily, he did not interrupt.
I picked up one and tasted it, and found it was raw. I rubbed it with my hands, and the hard brown pine nut shell cracked open, and the nut inside also exuded a unique fragrance.
When everyone smelled the fragrance and saw her peeling the pine nuts easily and eating them slowly, they suddenly felt that what they had on hand was not fragrant anymore.
There used to be a saying that the world's progress is due to a group of smart lazy people who want to save trouble and keep inventing things that can make things easier for themselves. I think it makes sense. 23-4=19. I'll continue tomorrow~
