Chapter 263 The unlucky mother-in-law implicated by the hero of the book 5
After fierce bargaining, Yun Xi bought this cluster of flawed earth fire for 460 medium-grade spirit stones.
"Mom, do you want to buy some food?"
"Are you greedy? Let's go! We can save a lot of spirit stones today." Yun Xi happily took her daughter to Xiangmanlou. It was very lively here. The cultivators were only interested in cultivating immortals, and food was also the choice of many low-level cultivators. Some foods rich in spiritual energy can speed up cultivation much faster than directly absorbing spiritual energy.
"Boss, six servings of each of our signature dishes, please."
Yun Xi generously threw over three mid-grade spirit stones, but of course it was not a big deal, as she did not have the confidence to do so.
"Thirty dishes, six servings each, okay."
The shopkeeper, who was used to it, asked them to sit down and drink the spiritual tea first, which would be ready soon.
Yun Xi took her daughter to sit by the window, watching the passers-by and taking a sip of the spiritual tea with rich spiritual energy from time to time.
"Have you heard? The mortal area might be changing!"
"What do you mean?"
"What this means is that the Alliance wants to expand the city. After doing some statistics, they found that the mortal area is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, they want to arrange for these mortals to live with their monks. They need to plan that area and build it into a residential area for the monks."
"Really? Why are you suddenly doing this? Mortals won't get in our way."
"Yes, who can guarantee that the child they give birth to will have spiritual roots? These children don't live long, so everyone can rest assured if they live in the mortal area. It won't affect their spiritual heart."
"Brother, what you said makes sense."
……
Most of the monks in the restaurant agreed with this man's point of view, and many monks were ready to write a letter of opinion to the alliance, stating that the world of immortal cultivation could accommodate a group of harmless mortals.
Yun Xi frowned and thought for a long time before she remembered mortals.
Originally, there were more mortals than monks in this plane, because mortals have strong reproductive capabilities, and many monks also came from the mortal world. Later, the war caused a devastating blow to the mortal world who were powerless. Most of the mortals were wiped out by the aftermath of the fight between the monks. They were very unlucky.
Under the new order, some cultivators gave birth to people who were unable to practice and were called mortals. Together with some of the survivors from before, these people were gathered together by the alliance and settled on the edge of the west city. A formation was set up and ordinary cultivators could not disturb them.
Just as the monk said, children born by mortals are not necessarily mortals, and children born by monks are not necessarily monks. Having a place to accommodate these mortals is a comfort to the monks who gave birth to mortals, knowing that their children can live a long life there.
Mortals are not necessarily mortals forever. Those who have great wisdom and comprehend the mysteries of a certain field can also cultivate immortality, such as some martial arts practitioners, food practitioners, wisdom practitioners, Taoist practitioners, and Buddhist practitioners. Monks are not necessarily monks forever. Some whose spiritual roots are broken and dug out for various reasons can also become mortals.
So, this mortal area really needs to exist. Yun Xi plans to write a letter of opinion and submit it after returning.
Soon, hot dishes were served one after another. Yun Xi opened the spirit bag and asked the waiters to put the food in. The two of them left for home. On the way, she said regretfully, "Why didn't I have that epiphany at home? That way, you could all benefit from it."
"Mom, it's okay. Everyone has their own destiny."
Lanying is very open-minded.
"Too."
At home, Lan Yu was tending to the fairy herbs. These were the seedlings bought by Yun Xi and planted in all the available spaces in the house. However, they grew too slowly and she didn't know if she could use them all before she died. The lifespan of the foundation-building period was only 1,500 years, and she was already 700 years old. One of the fairy trees took a thousand years to grow.
"Grandma, did you buy the ground fire?"
Lan Yu is very active and has recently become obsessed with alchemy. After unremitting efforts, the pills she makes can finally be sold for money.
"I bought it. I want to try the feeling of refining pills in a mid-level alchemy furnace. Once I refine the marrow cleansing pill, everyone can take it regularly." Yun Xi carefully took out a transparent ice box like glass. The earth fire inside was jumping up and down, very active.
After she divided the food, she took out the earth fire and placed it under the alchemy furnace, injecting spiritual energy into it. The earth fire would grow or shrink according to the amount of spiritual energy. Yun Xi studied it carefully. She didn't have many spirit stones now. If she didn't have the space to grow medicinal herbs, she would be a pauper now.
After adapting to the earth fire, Yun Xi began to explore the art of alchemy. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would attend lectures by some alchemy masters. After three months, she finally understood the rules behind the complex elixir, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and began to try to make the elixir.
After no longer having to worry about making a living, Lan Yu saw a lot of the world with her grandmother, and relied on her own efforts to make pills and earn spirit stones. At this time, she was watching her grandmother's movements carefully.
Yun Xi followed the instructions and put the herbs in one by one, carefully controlling the size of the fire. Her spiritual power covered the furnace and she felt every change in the herbs inside. A quarter of an hour later, Yun Xi was sweating profusely and felt that her spiritual power was not enough. At the critical moment of making the pill, she had to take out the spirit stone and continue.
"Ding ~"
The fragrance of the elixir emanated, and Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that her spiritual power was overdrawn, so she meditated to slowly restore her spiritual energy. It would be great if she could absorb spiritual energy from the air right away. Unfortunately, firstly, her talent was not high, and her speed of absorbing spiritual energy was not fast enough. Secondly, there were too many cultivators in the city, and the spiritual energy was not sufficient.
"Grandma, these are top-grade marrow cleansing pills. Ten of them can be sold for a lot of spirit stones!" Lan Yu said happily.
"Well, go give it to everyone, one pill per person, to clear out the impurities in their bodies first."
The family took the marrow cleansing pill and after experiencing excruciating pain, they expelled a layer of impurities. However, their endurance paid off and they felt that their physical fitness had improved and their spiritual roots seemed to have become thicker.
"No wonder the Marrow Cleansing Pill is so expensive, the effect is really good. I feel like I'm about to advance." After Zhuxiang finished speaking, she went back to her room to meditate. Yun Xi saw this and estimated that more spirit stones would be consumed. She took her granddaughter to refine dozens of furnaces of Marrow Cleansing Pill and sold them for a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
Yun Xi's fighting spirit ignited, "Huha, I'm going to research other pill recipes and earn enough spirit stones for everyone to advance to the Golden Core stage."
Lan Yu counted on his fingers and exclaimed, "At least 60,000 mid-grade spirit stones."
Lan Hai's eyes widened. There were so many. "Mom, you should advance first. The lifespan of a golden elixir is three thousand years. We are not in a hurry."
"Yeah yeah."
The daughter and son-in-law also advised that it would be much easier for them to cultivate to become immortals if they had a powerful elder to protect them.
"Okay, then I'll try to advance first."
Yun Xi began to speed up the alchemy. Except for Zhuxiang, everyone in the family followed the boat out to sea to hunt sea beasts. This was an activity organized by the alliance. Twenty percent of the hunted sea beasts would be handed over to the alliance, and the rest would be kept by themselves. The alliance would also send high-level monks to escort and protect their safety, which was considered a good job.
When a family works together and strives towards a common goal, their lives are actually no different from those of ordinary people.
"Grandma, I made a root division and maintenance pill, but it's a pity that the level is not high."
Lan Yu showed the pill to Yun Xi, who praised her, "Not bad, you do have some talent."
