Chapter 3 Life is not easy
In front of Mingyue Building, Chen Qing tidied up his clothes.
Looking at the dim lights in front of him, red cherry and green willow, he couldn't help sighing: "It's all for living, how difficult it is!"
After he finished speaking, he walked into Mingyue Tower, and soon a pretty lady reached out to wrap his arms around him, leading him inward.
"What do you want today, Mr. Lang?"
The voice was soft and crisp, making one's bones go soft.
Chen Qing took out a low-grade spirit stone from his bosom, and threw it into the little lady's bosom, "Find a better place on the second floor to listen to the music."
Up to the second floor, Yingying and Yanyan are like entering a peacock's nest, with a faint fragrance floating among the nephrite jade.
Sit down at a window seat, the beauty on the stage opens her small mouth, and a song of Qingci ditties fills her ears, making people forget their sorrows and salivate.
As expected of a professional!
The pretty lady waved her beauty fan, "What would you like to drink, sir?"
Chen Qing reached into his bosom, took out thirty low-grade spirit stones and put them on the table, "Serve everyone here with a jug of wine."
As he spoke, Chen Qing touched another low-grade spirit stone and threw it into the little lady's arms, "Do you understand what I mean?"
The little lady smiled, and gently pushed Chen Qing with her pretty hand, "I understand."
Soon, there were handsome young ladies who came up with drinks and served everyone present a jug of wine.
When those people asked, they pointed at Chen Qingyu.
The drinker bowed to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing smiled and bowed back one by one.
As the drinks came up one by one, Chen Qing saw a new scholar taking a sip, got up and said, "I don't know what's the reason for this fellow Taoist who treats you?"
Chen Qingxin said that the Mingyue Tower would indeed make arrangements, and the scholar was clearly brought by his little lady.
Chen Qing got up and cupped his fists, laughed and said: "Chen Qing in the Hanbo Cave of Xiawuyou Mountain is now at the third level of Qi Refining. Fortunately, the sect's great love got a Grass Spirit Gu."
"Now that my livelihood is hopeful and my heart is happy, I want to invite you to share the joy!"
Hearing this, many people picked up their drinks and said, "Grass Spirit Gu, that's a good thing!"
"I see, congratulations fellow daoist!"
"Then we have to ask fellow Taoists for the Gu spirit grass in our spiritual field in the future!"
"This is extremely useful news."
After chatting with these people for a while, Chen Qing knew that after today, many people should know that they have a Grass Spirit Gu.
There are only thirty low-grade spirit stones, so don't feel bad, don't feel bad.
Chen Qing bought some rice and meat for the remaining Lingshi, went to the stall area, walked around for a while, and then found out.
"Brother, how did you sell this Earth Spirit Crystal?"
The Taoist in Qingpao said: "Five low-grade spirit stones cost a penny."
Chen Qing said with some distaste: "You still have ash inside, it's not pure at first glance."
"What if my Gu worms are eaten up?"
The green robe said humanely: "This is fresh, there must be ashes, how about it, I will count your four low-grade spirit stones as one."
Chen Qing took out the last twenty spirit stones in the spirit stone bag, "Give me half a tael."
Back to Hanbo Cave at night, Chen Qing looked at his empty spiritual stone bag.
During the day, it was filled with fifty-six spirit stones, but now, they are all gone.
Alas, life forces.
By the way, the little lady's hands are really soft today.
Hiss.
Cut the bought bacon into fine slices, laid a neat circle on the rice, and Chen Qing put it into the pot.
After a while, the aroma was overflowing, and he picked up three small cabbages from Li Hetian Lishun.
Mixed with hot bacon and rice, the aroma is so mouth-watering.
Glancing at the Grass Spirit Gu, the growth progress has changed from 18 to 24.
"A penny of Zhedihuang can increase the growth progress by 6 points."
Chen Qing put one money in the earth spirit crystal, holding the rice bowl, "I eat, and you eat too."
There was no news on the second day, so Chen Qing simply went to Elder Ling Zhi to continue to receive work.
Worked in Zongmen for three days in a row, when Chen Qing returned to the mansion that day, he saw a boy waiting at the door.
"But Senior Chen?"
Chen Qing said: "What's the matter?"
The boy said: "My master asked me to ask you, are you free in the past few days? He and a few friends need to take care of the spiritual field, so he specially sent me to invite senior."
Chen Qing asked: "Who is your master?"
The boy said: "Ye Botong of Qingyu Temple."
Chen Qing showed a smiling face, "So it's Daoist Ye. I've been very busy these past few days, but since it was Daoist Ye who spoke, I can only go through it once."
"It will come in a few days."
The boy responded happily, "Thank you, Senior Chen."
Going to Li He's place to inquire about Ye Botong's details, and learning that he is a crane breeder, Chen Qing felt relieved.
Generally speaking, those who support their families with production attribute Gu care more about their own reputation, otherwise they will not be able to get along here.
After hearing that Ye Botong was also a disciple of Wuyou Mountain, Chen Qing was a little more relieved.
Taking care of 30 acres of spiritual fields for six days in a row, maybe Ye Botong was very busy, Chen Qing only saw Ye Botong when it was time to pay the bill on the sixth day.
Accepted Ye Botong's thirty spirit stones, took out two more and handed them back.
"It doesn't take that much to befriend you and me."
Ye Botong didn't pretend to be fake, and raised his hand to accept it, "Actually, this is the spiritual field of me and the four fellow Taoists around me. It's just that they took care of it for me when they went out."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "My friend, you don't have to make it so clear."
He paused, then glanced at the two spirit stones and said: "It's just this matter, it's not for outsiders."
Ye Botong nodded and smiled, "Hahaha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Chen Qing didn't want outsiders to know because he was afraid that others would say that he had ruined the market, which would cause dissatisfaction among other monks who possessed Grass Spirit Gu.
Ye Botong is because these two spiritual stones are seriously missing from the 30 mu of spiritual land, but he himself has only 4 mu, equivalent to only spending half of the money, so naturally he will not let the four people know.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said goodbye after drinking and eating.
Over the past few days, Chen Qing has also gradually begun to know that generally, monks who have Grass Spirit Gu can take care of about three acres of land with their Grass Spirit Gu, and very few of them can manage four acres of land.
My Grass Spirit Gu is really a good treasure.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more that the bundle of Gu spirit grass and ten low-grade spirit stones was worth the money.
"I have to find a time to visit Elder Chen again."
"The one who walks often is human."
When I first came to this world, I was acquainted with Elder Chen, and I also supported him a lot.
Although Elder Chen is old, he is a great practitioner of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
A few days' wages in exchange for Elder Chen's favor is a good deal no matter what.
In the past half a month, many brothers and sisters from nearby came to invite me. Chen Qing took time to visit Elder Chen after finishing the work.
I bought a bottle of ginseng wine worth ten low-grade spirit stones from Li He, but I didn't expect to be greeted by Elder Chen with a smile this time.
Instead, he scolded him severely, saying that he just got the way to make money and didn't know the importance of buying such expensive things.
He reprimanded him again, "You just got Gu worms now, it's time to accumulate them, don't waste money indiscriminately."
"You need to practice harder, you are still young."
After rambling on for half an hour, Chen Qing was left to eat again, and Chen Qing bid farewell gratefully.
Looking at the undelivered wine in his hand, "I didn't expect that Elder Chen is really a honest old man."
Recalling how dangerous the boundary outside Wuyou Mountain was mentioned by Li He, Chen Qing began to think about how Elder Chen lived to such an age.
When going back, Li He held his job bowl and called Chen Qing to stop, "Have you heard, Brother Wu is lame."
Chen Qing asked: "Brother Wu from the fourth level of Qi Refining?"
Li He nodded, "Well, he only has one sword Gu, and now he's limping again. I guess not many people will ask him to take risks together in the future."
For some unknown reason, Chen Qing felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Now he likes to hear about the accidents of this kind of cultivator who chose the fighting style Gu worm.
Especially this kind of the first Gu worm chose fighting skills.
Look, he likes to be aggressive and ruthless, something has happened!
Our production department is still stable.
Therefore, Chen Qing tore off a chicken leg from the plate in front of Li He, and sat side by side with Li He on the threshold, "Details, details."
Li He became more and more energetic, "He only has one sword Gu, and now he has broken his leg, so his combat power must be greatly reduced. I think it's difficult."
Chen Qing nodded in agreement, "What should no one do?"
Li He said with a smile: "I heard that he is going to spend all he has on getting a prosthetic leg, probably he is going to take the job in another place."
Chen Qing understood the meaning and pretended not to be lame, "But this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later it will be discovered."
Li He nodded, "That is, our production department is safe."
After eating Li He's half chicken, Chen Qing returned to her cave with satisfaction.
Opening the bed, twenty-eight spirit stones are neatly placed inside, "Am I sleeping on money?"
Finally, the money to go to Mingyue Tower was not wasted.
Counting all the spirit stones again, Chen Qing was going to see her precious Gu worm.

During the feeding during this period, he basically knew that the three materials can improve the growth progress.
Earth spirit crystals can increase growth progress by 3 points and five low-grade spirit stones for one coin.
One coin of Zhedihuang can increase the growth progress by 6 points, and nine low-grade spirit stones.
One piece of spirit slough can increase the growth progress by 8 points, and ten low-grade spirit stones.
"It seems that it is cheaper to cultivate with spirit sloughs."
Chen Qing took a look at all his property, Zhedihuang still had three coins, which was obtained by accident in the previous year.
Twenty-eight spirit stones, a rusty sword, three sets of clothes, three pieces of bacon, and fifty catties of white rice.
He picked up a twig and counted on the ground, "The most economical way is to buy 4 more spirit sloughs, one money for Zhe Di Huang and one money for Earth Spirit Crystal."
"A total of fifty-four spirit stones."
"If the initial progress is zero, the low-grade spirit stones needed to upgrade from rank seven to rank eight should be about 130 pieces."
"That's twenty-six days' wages."
"It doesn't seem very expensive."
