Cultivation of the cat

The rabbit was white all over, about the length of a human's palm and a half, and looked very round.At this moment, it is not so much being hugged as it is being held in front of the young woman's front legs.The rabbit's long ears were pricked up, and the soft "good fragrance" was naturally heard by it.

"Put it in the golden bell, and you can smell it? It seems that I can only share some with you." The rabbit's small black eyes rolled around, and the front paws that were being grabbed tried hard to pat itself on the neck.When the rabbit's fluffy little paws pressed the golden bell hanging around its neck, three finger-sized fried fish were fried into golden yellow, and a very crispy fried fish appeared beside the rabbit's paws out of thin air.

The fried fish hanging in the air exudes bursts of tempting aroma, fresh but not fishy, ​​fragrant but not greasy...

The woman holding the rabbit was about twenty or so, dressed in white, with black and orange cloud patterns embroidered only on the waist, pure and pleasant, and the tulle robe fluttered slightly in the wind, giving her a feeling of being in a fairyland.

"Ah Bai, I told you many times, don't eat so many things from the ordinary world, it's not good for your practice, you can go to the Qingxintang when you're hungry." The woman glanced at the fried fish, and when she looked back at the rabbit, her dissatisfaction was beyond words. , but the willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and the almond eyes stared, not only did not see how severe it was, but it added a bit of cuteness.

"Yuan Zhaoyang, I have told you many times. From the first day we arrived at the Five Elements Sect, I knew it would be over. Which sect's canteen will be named Qingxintang, and let no one eat it?" With a wave of the soft white rabbit's paws, three fried fish flew to the woman's mouth, "Look at this, but the good things I found on the road are those casually boiled things in Qingxintang Can it be compared?"

Yuan Zhaoyang turned his face away, stepped back half a step away from the fried fish, but didn't let go of the rabbit, only frowned and said: "Although the food in Qingxintang tastes a little lighter, you can't eat it if you're hungry. Eat some from time to time, it suits you best."

"I don't, I don't, I don't! Don't eat Qingxintang! Whoever likes that kind of white water porpoise and boiled white jade vegetables will eat it!" The round rabbit writhed in Yuan Zhaoyang's hands. It became smaller, and in the blink of an eye, it was only half the size of a palm, and it fell smoothly from Yuan Zhaoyang's hand.

Before Yuan Zhaoyang could bend down to catch it in the future, the rabbit had gone away like a ray of white light. Before he went, he hadn't forgotten to take a handful of fried fish from the golden bell around his neck, and circled Yuan Zhaoyang into a circle. in a circle.

"..." Yuan Zhaoyang wanted to follow, but he had to worry about the situation here and now.

Today is the first day when the Immortal Cultivation Sect comes to accept disciples once every ten years in Yingxian City. Several major sects have arrived in the city one after another, and they have begun to divide the site in the center of the city and arrange it.Looking around, most of the major sects came from the Foundation Establishment stage monks who went out to practice, and occasionally there were some Qi training stage disciples with lower cultivation bases. Each sect had one or two golden core stage real people who came with them. Protection two is deterrence.

Only the Five Elements School, among the people who came this time, the one with the highest level of cultivation is Yuan Zhaoyang who built the foundation and completed the Dzogchen.Although Yuan Zhaoyang thinks that he, who has established a perfect foundation, can compete with a real person in the early stage of Jindan, but there is always a level of difference between Zhuji and Jindan. It has fallen a little bit.

However, this is also impossible.At this time, the Five Elements School really couldn't tell the Jindan Daoist, who came to welcome the Immortal City.

Yuan Zhaoyang knew that his cultivation level was not enough on the surface, and he also wanted to act in a low-key manner, so as to successfully complete the matter of accepting apprentices into the sect.There was a bit of movement when the rabbit escaped just now, and other sect strongholds in the city center have already paid some attention to this place.Yuan Zhaoyang doesn't need to do more things to attract attention. Anyway, Abai will come back when he has had enough fun. Just eat some food from the secular world. .

What is more worthy of my attention now is another matter... Yuan Zhaoyang waved his sleeves without changing his face, and put all the fried fish released by the rabbit into his storage bag, and then looked towards the west of the city again direction.

It stands to reason that if one reaches the golden elixir stage of practice, one can fast.Yuan Zhaoyang, who had already completed the Foundation Establishment and was only a step away from congealing the golden elixir, hadn't eaten food for a long time.But at this moment, she only felt that it smelled so good, that strange fragrance made her heart tremble, not to mention the long-lost hunger in her stomach, and even her mind seemed to feel that something was missing.

Yuan Zhaoyang resisted the desire to investigate immediately, restrained himself and continued to answer questions from several Five Elements Sect disciples about the arrangement and collection.

The problem of the disciple meeting place.At the same time, Yuan Zhaoyang is also paying attention to the other sects around here. It seems that no one except her pays attention to the abnormality in the west of the city...

Could it be, isn't it a natural treasure?After Yuan Zhaoyang explained to his disciples, he walked to the side and took a small fried fish from the storage bag to eat. The small fish was fried so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, even the bones were so brittle that they could be chewed directly, and the salt was just right , it seems that some fragrant seasonings are sprinkled after frying. It tastes very special, not fishy at all, and fragrant.Yuan Zhaoyang ate several sticks before he stopped and licked his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Disciples of the Five Elements Sect, Jia, B, B, B, Ding, who accidentally saw this scene, were stunned, and they couldn't tell whether it was their tinnitus that Senior Sister Yuan taught Abai before, or it was them that Senior Sister Yuan was enjoying and dissatisfied with eating small fish. dazzled...

Only Yuan Zhaoyang knew that although the fried fish was delicious, but after eating it, the influence of the fragrance in the west of the city did not lessen the influence on him at all.Still so fragrant, so hungry, and a little dizzy... so hungry?

"I'm going to look for Abai. You should arrange it as I said just now." Yuan Zhaoyang still couldn't help it, so he made an excuse and walked out of the Five Elements Sect's residence.

The world is divided into four parts, the East China Sea, the West Desolation, the South Union, and the North Territory.

The land of Nanhe has a vast land and abundant resources, and abundant resources.There are many sects, people cultivating and demon cultivating live in harmony, they are divided into independent sects, and it is more common to mix with one sect, it can be regarded as the most compatible and prosperous among the four places.Even though this is the case overall, the various sects are not without gaps.

Originally, the Five Elements Sect had a rich background and was very generous to its disciples, and then a virtuous cycle followed, with generations of talents emerging in large numbers, which can be regarded as the first echelon of the sect in Nanhe.However, more than ten years ago, the celestial phenomena changed suddenly, and a barrier suddenly appeared between the four places that were originally unimpeded, separating the four places and making it impossible to communicate.Many monks who traveled abroad could no longer return to the sect.

At that time, the Five Elements Sect found a secret place in the East China Sea, and gathered [-]% of the Jindan real people in the sect to explore it.This time, he was blocked from Nanhe, and the Five Elements School had a fault in the Jindan period.This is also the biggest reason why Yuan Zhaoyang led the team out to accept disciples in the state of foundation establishment and Dzogchen.

Although the fault of the Five Elements Sect's Jindan stage is a secret of the sect, if you think about it, it can't be kept secret for too long.With more food and less soldiers, Yuan Zhaoyang was naturally more cautious in this line of work.

As soon as Yuan Zhaoyang came out of the meeting place for accepting disciples that the Five Elements Sect was setting up, he noticed several spiritual senses following him.I don't know if they are interested in the foundation building Dzogchen, the highest monk sent by the Five Elements Sect, or in the Five Elements Sect....

But anyway, Yuan Zhaoyang still has a sense of urgency that he must take a look, otherwise he will miss something important.

Walking from the center of the city to the east, and from the east to the north of the city, Yuan Zhaoyang did enough to find a rabbit and experience the customs of Yingxian City, and finally arrived at the west of the city leisurely.

At this time, Lin Mianmian was anxiously planning how to buy two-thirds of the bowl of sauced pork noodles with ten Wen.

That's right, it's sauced pork, not stewed pork.

At first Lin Mianmian searched for the smell of meat and found a noodle stall, thinking it was braised pork, but after a closer look, he found that the large piece of meat was cooked with miso.Whenever someone came to ask for noodles, the brother of the Qiao family would use an iron hook to pick up the big piece of meat, cut it neatly, and then threw the piece of meat back into the sauce.

The long-simmered sauce, stewed with meat, has a strong aroma.Lin Mianmian found a downwind position and stood there, watching like a masochistic onlooker.

Rationally, the ten pennies are her living capital and start-up capital in this different time and space. Although it is not much, it cannot be spent at will.In terms of sensibility... buying noodles!buy noodles!buy noodles!

Lin Mianmian, who was downwind, smelled the smell of meat, and while he was tangled and calculating, he didn't realize that there was a crowd of people not far away, and some of them seemed to be carrying something and rushing away.

Immortal cultivators are very different from ordinary people in terms of clothing and temperament.Although the major sects are set to recruit people in Yingxian City, they basically don't wander around in the city. Most of them fly directly to the center of the city that has been cleared by the city lord.And for the next three days, only children who meet the age requirements and their relatives can enter the city center.Therefore, Yuan Zhaoyang, who came out for a walk, was a rare breed, and immediately attracted onlookers.

Of course, after you look at it, you still have some doubts about immortals.

Certain awe.There was no one within a few meters of Yuan Zhaoyang, and a few meters away...there was a sea of ​​people moving with her.

Fortunately, the five senses of a cultivator are far superior to that of ordinary people. Although many people are separated, Yuan Zhaoyang discovered the strange fragrance as soon as he approached the west of the city.

It's the sauced pork noodles...the person next to the stall.

Yuan Zhaoyang could feel that he still had his spiritual consciousness following him. Although there was no malice at the moment, God knows if there would be any problems if he behaved strangely.Yuan Zhaoyang walked not far from Lin Mianmian, without slowing down and without taking a second look.The surface is normal, but Yuan Zhaoyang's heart is like a turbulent sea. The fragrance that gets stronger and stronger as it gets closer has a magical power that makes people want to rush to snatch it desperately.

At first, I thought it was the resonance from the magic weapon that fit me, or some kind of natural treasure... But I didn't expect it to be a person?So the feeling that I can't help but rush over to snatch it, what do I want to snatch by myself?Yuan Zhaoyang felt that his whole being... well, the whole cat was going to be bad.

It wasn't until she gradually moved away from the west of the city and that person that Yuan Zhaoyang's blood, which was about to boil, cooled down a little. At least, the heart-cleaning mantra he recited silently all the way didn't make her do anything strange in public.But... the use of the heart-purifying mantra against the demons during the tribulation is really... no one will believe it if you say it!

Back in the center of the city, Yuan Zhaoyang only felt that going out like this was more tiring than killing a mountain of monsters. All the bones in his body were a little sore and brittle. It was obvious that he just passed by a little girl.

Far to the west of the city, the strange fragrance is still there, but the other sects seem to have no sense of it.Yuan Zhaoyang vaguely felt that maybe this was his own chance.But... the feeling that came up when she got close to the little girl made her feel more like being possessed by a demon than by a chance.

Yuan Zhaoyang hesitated.But on the journey of cultivating immortals, it is common for opportunities and dangers to coexist.

Immortal cultivators, starting to practice, generally draw qi into the body for several months or even a year, enter the qi training period, and can live for a hundred years.In the next few decades, the foundation was established, and the number increased by hundreds every year.If there is a chance to condense the golden pill in hundreds of years, you can live for thousands of years.

Originally, Yuan Zhaoyang's talent was outstanding, not to mention his early transformation, he has already cultivated to the Dzogchen Foundation Establishment in just over 80 years, he is simply the best among his peers.But for some reason, for the next seven or eighty years, she has been stuck in the foundation establishment Dzogchen, one step away from condensing the golden core forever.Being overtaken by practitioners of the same period, Yuan Zhaoyang has built a foundation for many years, and although he can compete with people in the early stage of Jindan, it is still difficult to make further progress.

From genius to mediocrity, it's hard to tell what the school's attitude is. In the end, Yuan Zhaoyang left the Northern Territory by traveling more than 20 years ago and came to Nanhe.More than ten years ago, Yuan Zhaoyang, who was unable to go back to the Northern Territory due to the barriers of the four places, settled down in the Five Elements Sect and became a guest minister, which is why he made this trip to the Immortal City.

That little girl had such a great influence on Yuan Zhaoyang that even his soul was a little turbulent.No matter what, Yuan Zhaoyang knew very well that this little girl must be different to him.Yuan Zhaoyang didn't want to miss it, he always had to look again... It would be best to bring it back to the Five Elements School and put it under his nose, so that he could see what was going on.

However, the major sects have agreed that recruiting disciples in Yingxian City depends entirely on fate.Each sect can give a brief introduction to the sect in its own recruiting venue, and mortal children can choose to worship a certain sect independently.After the child chooses a good sect, he will test his spiritual root and aptitude from this sect.

Vicious competition among sects is strictly prohibited, false introduction of sect information to mortals is strictly prohibited, and threats to mortals are strictly prohibited. Of course, it is not allowed to use heaven, material, earth treasures, magic tools, magic weapons and other resources for cultivating immortals to promise profits.

In fact, it is only one way to test the qualifications after selecting the sect, which has already cut off most of the income from vicious competition.The latter are just some more rigorous additions.

That little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. From Yuan Zhaoyang's point of view, when a child of this age appeared in Yingxian City, he naturally wanted to come to pay homage to the immortal gate.

But in Yingxian City, there are seven or eight large-scale fairy gates accepting people, not to mention the many small and medium-sized fairy gates... How can I be sure that she will sign up for me...

Suddenly, Yuan Zhaoyang saw Ah Bai who didn't know when he would come back to the base.In front of the restored snow dumpling, which is about half the size of a palm, there is a piece of pancake bigger than the entire body of the rabbit. It is really hard to complain about the picture of the whole rabbit jumping on the pancake.

It's just... Yuan Zhaoyang suddenly remembered the direction the little girl was looking at and the look in her eyes at that time.It really looks like Ah Bai who wants to swallow the pancake in one bite...

"Yingfu, I just saw that there is a Qiao's noodle stall in the west of the city that is very good. Go and invite him to open a stall in front of our venue. Then I will do Daohuolian and write about the Five Elements sect. , free of charge, and those who are willing to join the Five Elements Sect can eat as much as they want for free. You should say this again at the noodle stall, so that other guests won’t wait.” Yuan Zhaoyang casually ordered a slightly fat male monk, and finished speaking After a pause, I added a special sentence, "There is a big pot at the entrance of the stall, and the noodle stall with sauced meat is cooked. The man who cooks the noodles is a man who is about 20 years old. Don't invite the wrong one."

"...Senior Sister Yuan, each sect in Yingxian City has an agreement not to lure mortals." Yingfu almost thought he heard it wrong.

"I know, it's just that you can't use the resources of cultivating immortals to lure you. Those terms are engraved on the stone tablet in the city. You can go and have a look." Yuan Zhaoyang's eyes lit up and his lips curved slightly. The mortals under the Five Elements Sect just have some hot food, and it will not affect other sects."

Yingfu wanted to say something else, but Ah Bai, who had already pounced on the pancake, waved his claws, and threw a large bag of gold and silver from the air, "Go, bring the money." Sauce pork, not white water pork!I just want to eat it!

Just as Yuan Zhaoyang thought, when they moved in front of him, the explanatory fire link was pulled up, and the spiritual senses of the nearby sects took a look, but they didn't take it seriously at all.

If it is lured by resources for cultivating immortals such as heaven, material, earth treasures, magic tools and magic weapons, the major sects will naturally not agree.Can you have a meal?Who would hastily choose a sect just because of a meal?If a person cultivating immortals hastily chooses the sect because of a meal of pasta, then such a person should not be considered.

In the final analysis, although Xiuxian Sect wants to recruit more people, it always wants to recruit more seedlings, not... foodies.

Regardless of what other people think, anyway... Yuan Zhaoyang's fingers trembled slightly, and the strange fragrance gradually became stronger. The girl followed behind him to the outside of the Five Elements Sect venue...
