Chapter 116 Mission Building
"Hahaha, this is a world in a painting. We are in a painting."
Si Tingxuan smiled and stroked his beard gently, looking like a hermit.
"I see. I was wondering what was going on. It turned out to be a trick of the immortals. I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. I made you laugh."
Wang Qiye then calmed his mind and looked down with sharp eyes, trying to find some differences.
I saw the mountain breeze blowing below, and the grass and trees swayed slightly. Except for the absence of insects and animals, the slight trembling of the leaves when the wind blew through them was so realistic, and no different from the outside world.
"They are just minor skills, not worth mentioning. Junior brother will be able to learn them in the future."
Si Tingxuan pointed downwards and considerately pointed out several scenic addresses.
"Brother, look down there. There are lights on in the house. It is an empty house. You can choose any one of them."
Wang Qiye looked down and saw that there were indeed more than fifty houses with lights on inside, dotted in different places. The other houses were also clearly visible, and Wang Qiye even found Ye Lingxi's residence based on his familiar memory.
There is still a lot of room for choice. Wang Qiye looked carefully and found a courtyard in the corner in the east of the map, which made him quite satisfied.
After looking carefully again, he found that this place was the farthest from the commercial street in the west. After going out of the east back door and walking for another ten minutes, he would reach the place where Wang Qiye often cut bamboo. It was extremely convenient.
"Brother Si, I'll choose this one."
Si Tingxuan was quite surprised that this boy actually chose a marginal position. However, everyone has their own preferences, so he couldn't say anything.
"Brother, you've confirmed it. Let's go register. If you're not used to living here in the future, you can come back to pick a new place. This time it's free. Next time you'll have to pay 10 spirit stones before you can move."
"This is it."
Wang Qiye nodded affirmatively. Could he change the place later?
Yes, if Shi Youliang lived next to him, Wang Qiye would definitely move. Every day when he went out, he saw a drunk who hadn't taken a bath for three years, sleeping in the yard. Even though Wang Qiye felt sorry for the spiritual stones, he was willing to spend 10 yuan for it.
"Okay, let's go out then."
Si Tingxuan put his hand on Wang Qiye's shoulder. Wang Qiye only felt a spiritual power enveloping him. Then, his eyes blurred and he sat back on the original chair without moving at all.
Only the scroll that had completed its mission remained, and it seemed to be slowly rolled up by an invisible hand and disappeared into the roof.
"Brother, keep it and hang it on the door when you get back."
Si Tingxuan dipped the brush in ink, wrote the words "175 Wang Qiye" on an empty wooden sign, and slapped it with his palm.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Wang Qiye stretched out his right hand and caught it steadily.
"Junior brother, after choosing the address, I have a few more instructions for you."
Si Tingxuan took a sip of the teacup, then raised his head and looked at Wang Qiye with a smile.
"Brother, you can talk as you please!"
Wang Qiye sat up straight for a rare moment and began to listen carefully.
"I guess my junior brother often visits the Baiwen Hall when he is in the outer sect. Most of the books stored there are for the Qi Refining period. He rents one spirit stone every month."
Si Tingxuan stroked his beard and laughed.
Wang Qiye didn't know what he was up to, but nodded anyway.
"This Baiwen Hall is also inside the inner gate, right next to the Kung Fu Building."
"The Gongfa Building usually stores books on foundation-building cultivation. The monthly rent is 10 spirit stones."
"Thousand Stele Forest, generally stores books for Jindan stage cultivation, the monthly rent is 50 spirit stones."
"The Wanfa Pavilion usually stores books on Nascent Soul cultivation. The monthly rent is 100 spirit stones."
"The Shinto platform usually stores the most advanced techniques, and the monthly rent is 1000 spirit stones."
After saying that, Si Tingxuan took another sip of the teacup, glanced at Wang Qiye indifferently, and then continued.
"Now, apart from the Shinto platform, you are not allowed to enter and leave as you please. As for the Gongfa Building, the Thousand Stele Forest, and the Wanfa Pavilion, you can borrow them as you wish and pay the monthly rent."
"Also, if you apply for a higher-level monthly card, you won't need to pay extra spirit stones to enter a lower-level borrowing venue."
"Oh, there is such a saying. Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."
Wang Qiye's eyes lit up. This could save a lot of spirit stones. After building the foundation, he would definitely have to go to the Thousand Stele Forest several times, and even go to the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion to get two books for comparison.
"Besides that, there are many other buildings in the inner gate, and Junior Brother also needs to learn about them."
"In the martial arts performance hall, there are not only puppets used to verify the skills, but you can also make an appointment to practice with a sparring partner to verify each other's skills."
"The screening room shows a fighting drama for free every month."
"The Affairs Hall, after accepting the mission in the identity jade pendant, the subsequent missions are completed and the place to settle the missions is on the first floor below you."
"The Weapon Refining Hall is a place where magic weapons are provided for the sect's monks."
"The Alchemy Hall is where elixirs are provided for the sect's monks."
"The Beast Taming Hall is a place that provides spiritual beasts for the sect's monks."
"The Fu Lu Hall is a place that provides Fu Lu for the sect's monks."
"The Formation Hall provides a place for the sect's monks to practice formations."
Si Tingxuan told the story slowly and at the same time he was thinking about whether there was anything he had missed.
"I heard from my senior brother about the Weapon Refining Hall. It's time to replace my 100-pound Wentian sword."
Wang Qiye was planning to go there these days, but he just couldn't find the time.
"Then Junior Brother, you must go as soon as possible. It takes three years to make a second-level magic weapon."
Si Tingxuan smiled knowingly. For other cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, a second-level magic weapon that cost 3000 to 5000 spirit stones might take a long time to save up. But for Wang Qiye, who had been to the secret realm twice and came back alive, even if the harvest was poor each time, he should be able to save up enough spirit stones just by picking up bargains.
"Oh, Junior Brother, look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell you."
"On the 1st and 15th of every month, Elder Jindan will give open classes at the "Performance Field", one in the morning and one in the afternoon, free of charge. If you want to have a private class, you can go to the "Question Pavilion" and make an appointment to purchase a one-on-one guidance class."
"As for the preaching building, it's too early to go there now. Senior Brother suggests that you go there after you reach the Nascent Soul stage."
"Brother, what is the 'Preaching Building'?"
It was the first time that Wang Qiye had heard of this thing. Since Si Tingxuan mentioned it, it must have some origin.
Si Tingxuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Wang Qiye meaningfully, and then spoke.
"For ordinary cultivators, it would take them 8 or 10 years to perfect a technique or martial art. Some even need 20 or 30 years to reach the pinnacle."
Wang Qiye nodded in approval. He had been training his body for more than six years before he could achieve a small success. His monthly training fee was 484.5 Lingshi, and that was before he established his foundation. After he received seven more treatments, he would have to use the training plan for the foundation-building period, and the fee would definitely increase.
“And this ‘preaching building’ is where you can save yourself 10 years of hard training.”
Wang Qiye's eyes lit up. There are such good things? This is simply a holy land. But think about it, this is a cultivation civilization, it is normal to have such a place.
"Brother, please tell me in detail!"
Si Tingxuan looked at Wang Qiye's expression with satisfaction. No one would refuse the temptation of the "Preaching Tower".
"You are a swordsman. It takes at least three years to master a foundation-building magical skill, and five years to become proficient. If you want to learn it at will, it will take eight years of hard training. However, after entering the "Preaching Building", you can master a foundation-building magical skill at will after a few breaths."
"What about the price? Are there any safety risks?"
Wang Qiye was very anxious and wanted to go to the preaching building to take a look.
"The price for one year of training is 8 spirit stones. This is just the price for one year. You also need to pay for the training method. However, few people train in one year. The minimum training period is years."
"Safety is definitely guaranteed. Every time I teach, there will be four powerful ones watching over me. If they find anything wrong, they will stop it immediately."
"These monks who are passing on their skills are all old Taoists who are about to die. They only have a few months left to live. Before they die, they want to seek some benefits for their descendants. So they will enter the preaching building to show their most proud magical powers. After both parties have negotiated the price and signed the agreement, the sect will pay one-third of the fee first, and the rest will be paid as the final payment after the transaction is completed."
"After these cultivators agree, they will affix a fourth-level talisman worth tens of thousands of spirit stones to seal their qi. Therefore, each cultivator can only preach once, and the price is fixed and cannot be negotiated."
"Before preaching, these monks fell into a deep sleep like the living dead, so they have no idea who they are passing on their proud magical powers to. If there is any intention to murder them, none of his descendants will be able to escape."
Wang Qiye nodded. He finally understood. It was just a matter of spending money to acquire new skills. All he needed was money.
"But there are pros and cons here. I hope you can make a careful choice."
Si Tingxuan looked at Wang Qiye sincerely with an earnest tone.
"Please give me some advice, brother."
Wang Qiye knew that Si Tingxuan said this, and this matter must not be as simple as it seemed, so he asked sincerely.
"Well, Junior Brother is still young. If you accept teachings too early, you will only be influenced by the thoughts of your predecessors and lose your plasticity. This is just one reason."
"Secondly, since everyone's personality is different, if you accept his inheritance, you will accept his personality, which will more or less have some influence on you. This influence cannot be changed in a short period of time, so after each preaching, it is best to wait ten years before the next preaching. But this still cannot be completely avoided. After five times at most, 90% of the cultivators will go astray, be burdened by many emotions, attract inner demons, and die from the refining of the divine fire."
When Wang Qiye heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. There really is no free lunch in the world. He had been planning to go and take a look today, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
"Thirdly, once you accept the teachings, it will be difficult to break the original owner's record in your lifetime, so you should be prepared. Throughout the history of cultivation over 50,000 years, there are only three people who have broken their predecessors' records after receiving the teachings."
Isn't this just rigid thinking? Wang Qiye nodded. This is easy to understand. Once you accept it, the upper limit of the original owner is your upper limit.
