I Studied Abroad in Modern Times - Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Benefits

Zheng Fa felt that he had entered an unhappy arranged marriage.

He and this fat senior brother seemed to have a mutual understanding of each other.

“What do you call me, senior brother?” Zheng Fa took the initiative to break the ice.

“Han Qi.” The fat senior brother also adjusted his expression, took a breath, stood up, and said to Zheng Fa, “I will take the junior brother to receive the life card.”

Zheng Fa followed him and walked outside.

Yesterday, after a tiring trip, he had just a glimpse of the Nine Mountains Sect. He had no time to observe it carefully. After looking around today, he felt a little incomprehensible:

He lives at the mouth of that valley, which is also the most prosperous place of Jiu Shan Sect. Starting from the dock, the flow of people has never stopped.

The west side of the valley entrance seems to be a residential area, and Zheng Fa lives here. He lives in a small courtyard, which is considered a very high-end building in this area.

Half of the buildings in this residential area are bungalows where you can see the back door from the front door.

The spacing between houses is very small and the architectural styles are also different, making the entire living area look crowded and messy.

To the east of the valley entrance is probably Fangshi, with six rows of small houses of similar appearance arranged neatly.

The sounds of hawking, conversations, and quarreling bargains came from the market.

Zheng Fa felt a little friendly when he looked at it. Friendly meant that it didn’t look like a fairy gate, but had too much earthly atmosphere.

What he couldn’t understand was why these buildings were piled up at the mouth of the valley. Looking into the valley from the mouth of the valley, the density of buildings in the valley was much lower, and it even looked vast and sparsely populated.

Seemingly seeing his doubts, Han Qi smiled and said: “Junior brother, you probably don’t know that we, the outer disciples, and the ordinary followers can only live in this valley mouth, and most of the houses are only Can build it by itself.”

Zheng Fa understood it – oh, a village in the city.

“Only the inner disciples who have established the foundation can live in the valley. Well…” He pointed to the dozens of small courtyards in the valley closest to the valley entrance and said, “Those are the residences of the inner disciples.”

…a high-end community.

“As for the true disciples or elders of the Golden Core Stage, such as Senior Sister Zhang, they can live at the foot of the mountain.”

…Villa area.

“As for the real person Nascent Soul, only he can live in the mountains.”

…hilltop garden.

“But what’s the point of such a division?” Zheng Fa still couldn’t understand. After all, apart from face, there wasn’t much difference.

“Spiritual veins.” Han Qi’s tone was a bit cold: “The closer to the inside of our Nine Mountains Sect’s formation, the richer the spiritual energy. We lower-level disciples are not even qualified to take one more breath of spiritual energy.”

“…” Zheng Fa can really understand why Senior Sister Zhang said that the lower class disciples are full of resentment.

…

It seems that he also found that the dissatisfaction in his two sentences just now was a bit explicit. Han Qi didn’t say much, and just led Zheng Fa towards the valley: “Today we are going to the General Affairs Hall to collect your life tablet, and then we will go to the Buddhist scriptures.” I will choose a technique for you.”

“yes.”

Zheng Fa was grateful, mainly to Senior Sister Zhang – it was a bit convenient to have a senior brother to lead the way.

As they walked through the valley entrance, Zheng Fa noticed something different.

There are about a dozen small buildings standing behind the entrance of the valley. Some of them even have signboards hanging on them, so they are obviously shops.

Compared with those small houses in the city, these small buildings are extremely superior in terms of size and location.

“Senior brother? This is…”

“That is the Wanfu Pavilion, which is opened by our Jiushan Sect, and specializes in selling spiritual talismans. That is the Jiuzhuan Pavilion, which is owned by the Qingmu Sect, and specializes in selling elixirs, and that one is Baibao Pavilion, which belongs to the Chongyue Sect, and specializes in selling magic weapons. …”

After Han Qi’s introduction, Zheng Fa understood a little bit – there were probably all self-employed people in Nafang City, but these ten or so small buildings were all well-known chains of the Baixian League. Each store basically represented a sect. Everything is high-end and exquisite.

What puzzled Zheng Fa was that it was very deserted here.

“Senior Brother Han, since the things here are good, why is there no business?”

Han Qi glanced at him and smiled: “You know that spiritual energy is declining, right?”

“Know.”

“In the past ten thousand years, the price of spiritual ink has increased, the price of spiritual grain has increased, the price of spiritual weapons has increased, the price of spiritual talismans has increased… Anything with spiritual energy has become more and more expensive.” “Can’t everyone afford it?” Zheng Fa understood.

“However, one thing has been reduced in price…”

Han Qi pointed to a shop in the corner of the square with a strange expression. The business there was the best among the dozen or so shops, and people came in and out from time to time.

“people.”

“ah?”

“That’s the Xunfang Pavilion, opened by the Su Nu Sect… Well, I heard recently that the appearance and tricks of the fairies there have improved a lot.”

“…”

“Not to mention anything else, I heard that thousands of years ago, you could get spiritual stones to recruit new disciples… Now the Living General Affairs Hall only gives gold.”

Hearing this, Zheng Fa once again gained a deeper understanding of the current situation of Xianmen – prices have increased and wages have fallen. To sum it up in two words, pills.

…

The General Affairs Hall is at the foot of a mountain near the entrance of the valley.

This is a main hall with two side halls.

“Uncle Fang, who is in charge of the fate cards, has an arrogant temperament and a certain background. He has always been indifferent to others – junior brother, please don’t be reckless, just follow me.”

Zheng Fa knew that he had good intentions and nodded lightly.

Han Qi led Zheng Fa into the side hall on the right. Inside, there was a middle-aged man with three long beards, sitting on a futon, crossing his legs and closing his eyes, meditating and practicing, and fishing openly.

However, Han Qi’s attitude was very low – he did not call this person, but took Zheng Fa and stood in the hall waiting quietly.

It wasn’t until nearly half an hour later that the middle-aged man gently opened his eyes. Seeing the two of them, he didn’t seem too surprised. He just said coldly: “New disciple?”

“Yes, please ask Uncle Fang to register the life card for this junior brother.”

“What’s your name?” The middle-aged man glanced at Zheng Fa and asked casually.

“Zheng Fa.”

“…Zheng Fa?” The middle-aged man was stunned, his legs bounced off the futon, and jumped directly to the ground: “Zheng Fa brought back by Master Zhang?”

“…yes.”

“Hey, isn’t this a neglect!” The middle-aged man patted Zheng Fa on the shoulder with enthusiasm; “Senior nephew Zhang told me a long time ago, and he is waiting for you… Why didn’t you call me earlier?”

Zheng Fa slowly turned his head and looked at Han Qi aside.

The middle-aged man also followed his gaze and looked at Han Qi.

Han Qi opened his mouth and finally squeezed out a sentence from his throat: “…blame me!”

…

“Master Nephew Zheng, Master Nephew Zhang have told me that they are considered outer disciples just after they entered the sect. The monthly records for the past ten years are all one spiritual stone – this cannot be changed.”

“ten years?”

“Ten years later, if you can’t build the foundation and become an inner disciple, then you won’t have any spiritual stones…” The middle-aged man paused and said, “Senior nephew Yizhang doesn’t think so highly of you.”

Han Qi’s face darkened.

“But Master Nephew Zhang said that you are the most talented in talismans, so let me allocate you an additional 100 talisman papers and two spiritual inks every month – this also has a time limit, and it will be over after half a year. ”

I am the first in ten thousand years!

Come and get a scholarship!

That’s it?

Zheng Fa glanced at Han Qi, who saw three words written on his face: A lot of money!
