There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Chapter 217 Return to the Wanxian Pavilion

the next day.

Xu Changshou left Pingyang Post Station and began to wander among the shops in Pingyang Market.

The soul-soothing pill has been bought, so Xu Changshou is no longer in a hurry.

Next, I will slowly search for thousand-year-old spiritual wood. When I have collected three hundred kilograms of thousand-year-old spiritual wood, I will return to the sect.

Xu Changshou's plan was to first obtain 300 kilograms of thousand-year-old spiritual wood, enough for the five-year task. In this way, he could continue to retreat for another five years and condense the third drop of foundation-building liquid in one fell swoop.

On this day, Xu Changshou visited almost all the shops in Pingyang Market. Unfortunately, he could not buy a large number of thousand-year-old spiritual wood and could only purchase some small pieces of wood.

After a round of purchases, I got more than 20 kilograms of fragments of thousand-year-old spiritual wood. Together with the ones I bought from Wanbao Pavilion before, the total was 50 kilograms.

Pingyang Market is such a small place that most of the wood blocks that can be purchased have been bought. Xu Changshou plans to leave Pingyang Market and go to Wanxian Market to have a look. Wanxian Market is bigger and should be able to obtain more thousand-year-old spiritual wood. If Wanxian Market is not enough, he will consider going to the Xiuxian Guild to issue the task.

It just so happened that in the evening of that day, the long-distance high-speed flying boat from Pingyang Market to Wanxian Market would stop at Pingyang Market.

Xu Changshou decided to take a flying boat to Wanxianfang City.

It is 30,000 miles from Pingyang to Wanxian, and it takes seven or eight days to fly by sword. It is not as fast as taking a long-distance high-speed flying boat.

In the evening, Xu Changshou stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun and boarded a long-distance high-speed flying boat.

Those who were riding on the flying boat were basically cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. They all looked at Xu Changshou with awe.

"Look, it's Senior Foundation Establishment."

"This is our uncle from the Green Immortal Sect."

"It seems to be Uncle Xu Changshou. I've seen him before."

The people on the flying boat were whispering to each other; Xu Changshou's arrival caused some ripples.

"Friend Xu, long time no see, hahahaha!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came to Xu Changshou's ears.

Xu Changshou turned around and saw a familiar face, Zhang Liren, at the driver's seat of the long-distance high-speed flying boat.

Zhang Liren was promoted to the foundation-building cultivator in the same class as him. Xu Changshou remembered that the task assigned to Zhang Liren seemed to be that of a flying boat crew member.

The long-distance high-speed flying boat from Pingyang Market to Wanxian Market is jointly owned by the Green Immortal Sect and the Hehuan Sect. It is not surprising that Zhang Liren is responsible for driving this flying boat.

Xu Changshou put on a smile and said with a bow, "Friend Zhang, long time no see. I hope you are well."

"Yes, it's been five years in a flash. How have these five years been, fellow Daoist?"

A trace of vicissitudes flashed in Zhang Liren's eyes, and he sighed.

"I... am just okay, how about you?" Xu Changshou asked back.

Zhang Liren's face turned bitter, and he said, "Don't even mention it. This flying boat takes fourteen days to make a round trip. I can only rest for two days every seven days, and I spend five days driving the boat. I don't have time to practice at all."

"The salary for running a flying boat is low, only 300 spirit stones a month. It's tiring, and there's no profit. The money is not enough to spend."

"You don't know, I've been tightening my belt for five years, and I still haven't paid off the loan."

"Those of us who have been sent out are not as comfortable as you are in the sect. You are still the best."

Zhang Liren kept talking and complaining.

Xu Changshou shook his head slightly and said, "Everyone is just doing their job. It's not easy for us in the sect either. We are constantly overwhelmed by tasks and can't even lift our heads."

"All crows are black." Zhang Liren curled his lips and said this.

Xu Changshou smiled without saying anything. Zhang Liren at this moment had changed a lot compared to five years ago.

Five years ago, Zhang Liren had just successfully established his foundation. It could be said that he had lofty ambitions and was full of ambition.

It's like riding a horse at full speed in the spring breeze, and seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Compared to five years ago, Zhang Liren now seems a little decadent.

Obviously, life has been very hard in the past five years.

As a pilot, he works five days a week and has two days off, so he has no time to practice.

In addition, the resources at hand are not enough. Even if Zhang Liren has talent, he cannot display it. It is hard to say whether he can break through the middle stage of foundation building in this life.

As for forming a pill, when Zhang Liren just laid the foundation, he might have had the extravagant hope of forming a pill, but now he probably dare not even think about it.

Xu Changshou smiled and consoled him, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, why complain? It's a great blessing for us to become Foundation Establishment cultivators. We are better than those lower-level cultivators who can't even establish a foundation. Relax your mind. There is nothing to worry about in this world. It's only mediocre people who worry about it."

"There is nothing to worry about in the world, only mediocre people worry about it..."

Zhang Liren frowned slightly, pondering Xu Changshou's words for a moment. Suddenly, he understood and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for your advice. I was just obsessed. Anyway, I have two days off to go to the Wanxian Market. I'll treat you to a drink when we get there."

"Thank you for the hospitality, fellow Daoist."

A few days later, the flying boat arrived at Wanxianfang City.

These days, Xu Changshou and Zhang Liren were talking and laughing, and they didn't feel bored.

After arriving at Wanxianfang Market, Zhang Liren took Xu Changshou to a restaurant for a drink.

They drank until late at night before Zhang Liren left, and Xu Changshou simply stayed in the restaurant.

The next day, Xu Changshou got up early and began to buy scattered wood chips from various shops in Wanxianfang Market.

It is worthy of being the Wanxian Market. Here, Xu Changshou bought 50 kilograms of wood chips. Together with the previous ones, the total is about 100 kilograms. If he can get another 200 kilograms, he can go back.

After purchasing all the small shops, Xu Changshou finally found Wanxian Pavilion.

Wanxian Pavilion, as the largest store in Wanxian Market, should be able to receive more wood chips.

"Welcome, senior."

"Greetings, senior."

"A distinguished guest has arrived. Go and invite the shopkeeper."

After entering the Wanxian Pavilion, the doorman and the staff inside all saluted Xu Changshou.

At the same time, someone trotted up to the second floor to ask for the shopkeeper's help.

When merchants in the world of immortal cultivation receive customers, they use people of corresponding level to entertain the guests.

Qi refining versus Qi refining, foundation building versus foundation building, soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, this is the most basic rule.

Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator comes to buy a needle, he must be entertained by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Of course, it is a different story if there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator in the shop.

Soon, a graceful and tall woman slowly walked down from the second floor and greeted Xu Changshou with a smile.

The person who came was He Shuixiu.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come a long way, Shuixiu did not come to greet you, please forgive me."

He Shuixiu's gaze fell on Xu Changshou, with a slight smile on her lips. This man was very young and she had never seen him before. He should be a new foundation-building cultivator of the Green Immortal Sect.

Although she had done many transactions with Xu Changshou in the past and met him almost every year, Xu Changshou at that time had disguised himself. She had never seen Xu Changshou in person, so naturally she did not recognize him.

"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist He." Xu Changshou bowed slightly.

"What is your name, fellow Taoist?"

"I am Xu Changshou."

"Xu Daoyou is friendly!"

He Shuixiu looked at Xu Changshou carefully and felt that she had seen him somewhere before.
