Chapter 8 Poor Treatment
The elixir ceremony was boring, it was just like the leader came out to say something like "to make a big picture". Then he thanked friends from all walks of life for their appreciation, and suggested that Yunjian Sect could also produce its own elixirs in the future, and many high-level monks would be produced.
Yu Xiudan has changed his clothes. Although the door clothes he wore all day long were also navy blue, they only had white patterns, which was a little brighter than the black patterns of ordinary Qi Refining disciples.
Now I'm dressing so well, I've worn it directly with two layers. The silver edges on it are shining, and I feel that it's a bit more deterrent than before.
The process of the elixir ceremony went smoothly, and Lu Xiaoding did not continue to cause trouble. The True Lord of Tsinghua was invited away by a peak master. They were acquaintances and had traveled together when they were young, so they took this opportunity to reminisce about the past.
After the ceremony, Yu Xiudan called the two of them to a place outside where no one was outside to remind him, "Yaoxiang, please keep an eye on Xiaoding. I will go to seclusion this time and I will be able to come out next year. Senior Brother Lu Mu will help take care of Wuyaotang, and will recruit a lot of disciples. Wuyaotang will develop. You two are my medicine children. You don't have to worry about Wuyaotang. Now if someone takes over, you can rest for a while."
"Master, I want to take Xiaoding to Zhichutang to listen to the study." Lu Yaoxiang looked at him with a very serious look in his eyes.
Yu Xiudan hesitated for a moment and sighed, "You are too low now, and the number of spiritual veins is too small. According to the rules of Zhichutang, you will not accept you. When I come out of seclusion, I will refine some elixirs for you and open up the spiritual veins before going."
"Yes." It seems that we can't go in advance. Lu Yaoxiang can only respond. Master has just advanced to the Golden Elixir stage, and it is not good to make too many requests. When he comes out of seclusion, he will have real power after taking over Wuyaotang. At that time, such trivial matters should be fine.
But she was not sure in her heart. Who knew what would happen if she came out of seclusion? If the master was only allowed to concentrate on refining alchemy and developing alchemy techniques, then Wuyaotang would be Lu Daojun who would have been in charge.
Thinking that the master loved the most in his life was alchemy, it was really possible. If the leader said he would find him the alchemy recipe and spiritual herbs and don’t worry about the miscellaneous matters, he would probably agree immediately. If he gave him a few smart medicine boys with great qualifications, the master would forget himself and Xiaoding.
"Senior sister, what are you thinking? Master is gone." Lu Xiaoding pulled her clothes and leaned into her and asked curiously.
Lu Yaoxiang realized that his master had already left, so he said, "Xiaoding, go to the market in the door with me."
"It's great, you can buy things. I didn't even use the crystal beans given to me last time. I'm going to buy windmills, colored balls, and little wooden men who can fight." When I heard that I was going to the market, Lu Xiaoding immediately became excited and lit his finger to count what he wanted to buy.
But Lu Yaoxiang reached out to her, looked at it and said, "Xiaoding, show me your crystal beans."
"Yes." Lu Xiaoding took out a small purse from his arms, shook out a few colorful stones from it, and found the only crystal bean inside and handed it to her.
Seeing that she was carrying a small stone on her body, Lu Yaoxiang said speechlessly: "What are you doing by putting the stone on her body?"
"Senior sister, don't you think they are very beautiful?" Lu Xiaoding picked up a stone, squinted his eyes to face the sun, "Looking at the sun, it will reveal a beautiful color. This must be a treasure."
Lu Yaoxiang took away the crystal bean in his hand and walked forward with his hands behind his back. "There are many such treasures by the stream. I will take you to find them another day, and there are many more beautiful than these."
"That's great, I will definitely pick up a lot of them." Thinking of picking up a lot of beautiful stones, Lu Xiaoding happily followed and forgot about Jingdou.
The two of them went back to Zhishang Peak without going to other markets. Each peak had nearly a thousand disciples, and they would usually find some things on hand. It was too troublesome to get them all into the markets in the door. The less valuable things were thrown in the small markets on each peak, which made the brothers on the same peak cheaper.
All the disciples who are just starting out are in Zhichu Palace. There will be nothing on hand in the first year, but it will be different in the second year. Sometimes they will follow the senior brothers from Zhishang Peak to go around the outer mountain to practice. When they are lucky, they will get some things back.
Although the library is not open to them, there are always people who are anxious to learn other exercises as soon as possible. The senior brothers will sell the exercises they have eliminated. Anyway, they take up space. It would be better to sell them to the junior brothers for crystal beans.
"Senior sister, it's not that the martial arts cannot be passed down. They took out the martial arts and sold them. Isn't this the same?" Lu Xiaoding didn't understand. What's the difference between the martial arts and selling? They were given to others.
Lu Yaoxiang whispered: "What I am talking about is to learn other people's opinions and essences alone. They will express their own insights on the martial arts, or give them direct guidance. This is much better than throwing away a martial arts book. If no one explains, some things will not be understood."
It turned out to be so complicated. Lu Xiaoding couldn't understand it, but he nodded with a clear understanding, "Senior sister, you are only four years older than me, why do you know so many things?"
"It's very simple, because you're stupid." Lu Yaoxiang said without thinking. Xiaoding was also picked up by his master, but Xiaoding was extremely stupid.
"Well, senior sister is much smarter than me. When I jumped off the seventh floor ground fire platform that day, I should have considered it. It's so amazing." Lu Xiaoding preached thoughtfully, and his tone was full of admiration. That day was so brave. It was because of his cleverness that he didn't fall to death.
Lu Yaoxiang stopped, stared at her with the corners of her eyes, and then said coldly: "If you mention this matter again, I won't take you to pick up stones, and I will paint on your tripod."
"No, I won't say it. Senior sister, don't paint on my tripod, that thing is difficult to wash off." She was scared and shook her hands hard without wanting to be covered with paint. Seeing that she was scared, Lu Yaoxiang then stopped.
The small market was right next to Luoxiantai on Zhishang Peak. I don’t know if it was the time to come, but only a few disciples were there. Lu Xiaoding walked over and saw that more than 40 small bamboo tables were placed randomly on the ground, but there were not half of the people watching the stall.
"It's like this every time. Why have you never seen the stall owner present?" Lu Xiaoding squatted down at a low table, looking at the goods placed on it, looking for something that he was interested in.
There are mixed goods on each small table, with prices written on it, and a small bamboo tube stands next to it. After seeing what goods are taken away, just throw the crystal beans in it. The stall owner put a simple ban on the bamboo tube. If the ban is not opened, you can only enter but not exit.
Everyone sells bargains, and they are not afraid that someone will steal things and refuse to give them to Jingdou. They are all fellow disciples and peaks, and no one will take advantage of such a small advantage.
Lu Yaoxiang saw Lu Xiaoding picking up a small stone from the ground, and then slapped into a bamboo tube, then clapped her hands and laughed happily.
"It's so fun, I'll throw another one." She picked up another stone and pointed it at the small bamboo tubes across the five tables, wanting to throw it away again.
"What are you doing and why do you do such boring things!" Lu Yaoxiang rushed over with a quick step, dragged her collar and pulled her back.
Lu Xiaoding was extremely frustrated, "Senior Sister, why do you look like an old man?"
"Speak nonsense, be honest." If she didn't stop her, maybe she filled the bamboo tubes with stones, and those disciples would definitely scold them when they came back.
There are no windmills, no color balls and little wooden men who can fight, only the fur and bones of monsters, and some low-level spiritual herbs. Lu Xiaoding followed lazily, and it is really boring to have no small stalls selling entertainment.
There are also some techniques that have been turned into twitching the pages of the book. They are all primary techniques such as the first entry of swordsmanship or Qi Refining Art. The cheapest one is ten crystal beans. Lu Yaoxiang shook her head while looking at it, and after reading several books, she didn't start.
"Senior sister, please buy the most basic one first. Anyway, don't you know nothing?" Lu Xiaoding looked at it for a long time and the titles of the martial arts sold were almost the same. As long as you choose the book that looks new, it's enough.
Lu Yaoxiang looked left and right, and saw that even the disciples just now had left. After no one around, he lowered his head and approached her ears, and whispered quietly: "I have eavesdropped on all the contents here. There is no need to buy these basic skills. I want to see if there is any sword technique."
"Huh!" Lu Xiaoding was shocked. The senior sister had already eavesdropped. These were five martial arts. She took advantage of the opportunity she had passed by at the door to eavesdrop on all these martial arts. She would not have been doing such a thing since she could remember.
"Don't make a fuss, you have to remember that when others say you are not qualified to do something, you can try it first. As long as it is something you really want to do, there is no reason to stop you. Of course, you have to be careful not to let those who oppose you discover it. Of course, what I am talking about is not doing bad things." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yaoxiang began to teach her some messy things again.
Lu Xiaoding learned very seriously, and she remembered it all. Her senior sister taught her that when she was bullied, she should first take action and say that it was black and white. She should also put herself in the position of the weak, and then take advantage of the gap between the other party and herself to let everyone around her stand on her side.
She thought this trick was very good. She could not beat others even if she wanted to beat her. She pretended to be pitiful all day long to fight. This trick was not effective when used. Her face was too cold and her attitude was very bad. On the contrary, Lu Xiaoding used it well. Her innocent eyes and cute appearance became the best protection.
Of course, she never remembers these things. Even if she makes others suffer losses, she will happily say hello to others the next day, which makes people hate them. For a small matter, anyone who is embarrassed to care about someone who lacks soul will not work. It is not surprising that she will say anything and do something out of the ordinary person. It would be strange if she really is like an ordinary person.
"Then have you found a martial art that you haven't eavesdropped before?" Lu Xiaoding was very concerned about this. If he could find it, he would become awesome after buying it.
Lu Yaoxiang said carelessly: "No, you didn't say you wanted to refine elixirs, but you should buy some spiritual herbs and go back." She said that, but her eyes glanced at a martial arts book. The price of thirty crystal beans made her not want to pick it up and look. As long as she looked through it, she would definitely want to buy it, but she had saved it for more than ten years and only had fourteen crystal beans, one of which was just obtained from Xiaoding.
