Chapter 6: The Three-Colored Gourd to Calm the Meridians
Time flies, the years pass like water, going so fast, without a trace, and without a trace.

"Brother Ye, you are not concerned about gains and losses, you are loyal and righteous, I am ashamed of myself."

Zhu Yue sighed secretly, wondering how much his son resembled his father.
"Ge'er, go get three hundred spirit stones and give them to Ye Yang."

After a pause, Zhu Yue continued, "This young man is not bad. You can get to know him more, but you can't offend him or get too close to him."

Zhu Mange was absent-minded, but he was laughing in his heart.
"That Ye Yang seems to have some fame in Feitian Sect. Let me see how I can manipulate him. I just happened to be here for the first time, so I can take advantage of him."

……

During the day, Ye Yang had just finished his training when he saw Bai Zizhen staggering towards the Sutra Library.

The fingers were shining with three colors of light, and they were holding a two-foot-long gourd vine.

The gourd vine sparkles in red, yellow and blue, shining brightly, which is quite extraordinary.

"This is?"

After seeing Ye Yang, Bai Zizhen took the initiative to speak.

"This is the seventeenth generation seed of the sect's treasured vessel, the Scarlet Flame Flying Crow Gourd. I cultivated it with great difficulty and plan to plant it in the Sutra Library. You may as well come with me."

The Scarlet Flame Flying Crow Gourd is Feitian Sect’s precious meridian-suppressing device. It can transform itself into the sun and release the spirits of countless fire crows.

The reason why Feitianmen was able to guard the huge foundation of its ancestors despite being surrounded by wolves.

The Red Flame Flying Crow Gourd played an indispensable role.

He had heard that when the founder of Feitian Sect was practicing in the mountains, he came across an old gourd vine with a gourd hanging on it, so he picked it.

Later it was refined into a magical instrument, and after thousands of years of nurturing, it became the Feitian Sect's most precious treasure.

All weapons used by cultivators to protect themselves are divided into grades such as thousand-forged elite weapons, magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and treasure weapons.

The magic weapons among them are precious and require dozens of main and auxiliary materials to refine. Most of the cultivators who have just broken through to the warrior realm do not have the extra financial resources to refine them.

Most of the soldiers used were just thousand-forged elite soldiers.

As for spiritual weapons, they are superior to magic weapons. Magic weapons have a trace of spirituality and are connected with the mind of their master. They can be called spiritual weapons and are extremely powerful.

The treasure has the ability to move mountains and fill the sea. It is extremely precious and rare, so it is also called the treasure of meridians.

It means that owning a precious weapon can suppress an area and protect it from being pried into by villains.

I heard that there is a Taoist weapon above the treasure weapon, but as for how powerful the Taoist weapon is, Ye Yang doesn’t know.

At this moment, the two of them arrived at the Sutra Repository. Bai Zizhen took out a jade hoe and dug a small hole in the pavilion. The two of them carefully planted the gourd vine in it.

This Sutra Repository is already rich in spiritual energy and has fertile spiritual soil. The three-colored gourd vine is planted in it, with green leaves stretching out and vines spreading out.

Although it is not big, there are faint flashes of red, yellow and blue light, which is extremely gorgeous and beautiful.

Finally, Bai Zizhen buried three spirit stones in the soil to provide nutrients to the gourd vine.

"The spiritual vein nodes under the Sutra Repository converge, and the spiritual energy is the most abundant. I hope that after this gourd vine grows up, it can become a talent and protect the Sutra Repository and our Feitian Sect."

Bai Zizhen looked at the gourd vine and smiled.

Ye Yang followed his lead and said, "Master Bai has paid so much, this gourd vine will definitely not disappoint Master Bai."

Bai Zizhen smiled and glanced at Ye Yang.

"You are the only one who can speak. Well, go and practice."

at night.

Ye Yang sat upright in the house, holding a short pen and a piece of yellow paper in his hand, writing something down from time to time, carefully planning his next move.

The time for the Chazi Zhang family to ask for help has come, and he plans to ride his Tuoyun horse to the Chazi Zhang family as soon as possible.

"only."

Thinking of this, Ye Yang slowly wrote the words "Awakening Destiny" on the yellow paper.

The zodiac sign is extremely mysterious. It is the external manifestation of one's state of mind, aptitude, and understanding of life.

Some people are born with it, while others never have it in their entire life.

But basically, they are all opened during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Feitianmen offers sacrifices to heaven once every ten years, and the ceremony will begin two months later.

Unlocking one's destiny means that the speed and potential of cultivation will increase further in the future.

but.

"To activate your life force, you need a meridian protection pill, which is very expensive."

Ye Yang frowned and wrote the three words "Humai Dan" on the paper again.

The only function of this pill is to protect the body's meridians. Even if the awakening fails, it can protect the body from damage.

"One pill is four hundred spirit stones, and two pills are needed to be used together."

After writing down the words "four hundred spirit stones", Ye Yang secretly sighed. He only earned forty spirit stones a month.

Apart from the expenses needed for daily practice, not much could be saved. After years of frugality, he had only saved more than 300 spirit stones, which meant that his pockets were empty.

In addition, my father died early, and the only inheritance he left behind from his life savings was this building with a yard.

Even though it was expensive, I couldn’t just sell it and move into the woods.

Although after his father passed away, the sect gave a considerable amount of contribution points as pension.

But contribution points are rare and precious, and they have greater uses, so he doesn't want to use them to exchange for the Meridian Protecting Pill.

"Dad was an honest man. Sometimes I think if he wasn't so honest, he might not have died so early."

Ye Yang thought to himself that honest people do the most work but suffer the greatest losses.

Honest people often get the least benefits.

My father had been honest and incorruptible for many years, never accepted any bonus from anyone, lived a hard life, led by example, and eventually died at the hands of someone else.

If not, his life would be much better now.

"If possible, it would be nice to renovate the house and rent it out to new disciples."

The house left by Ye's father has three entrances and three exits and covers a very large area. At that time, it cost Ye's father's life savings just to buy the land.

After the land was completed, Ye's father took advantage of his position at the time to divert a scattered spiritual vein from the sect's main spiritual vein and built an ancient well.

After years of cultivation, the spirit well was filled with spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy that escaped was enough for him to practice.

The only places Feitianmen arranged for its disciples were caves or collective housing.

The spiritual energy is shallow and it is very easy to delay practice, so many people are willing to rent a house to practice.

However, the houses were repaired, the buildings were refurbished, the courtyards were transformed, and various spirit gathering formations were arranged.

It will cost another fortune, and I’m afraid the price of a meridian protecting pill won’t be lowered.

……

A few days passed quickly. In the early morning, when the morning glow faded, the sky and the earth turned silver-gray.

The sky was still dark, and the milky white smoke from cooking and the haze from when the sun was about to rise blended together, as if a thin layer of cellophane had covered the walls, roofs, and treetops.

Ye Yang was sweating profusely, and he swung the Wind and Frost Blade five thousand times without hesitation, after turning the Mang Gu Qi twelve times.

He packed his luggage, left Feitian Gate in the dark, and prepared to go to the Zhang family's residence at "Chazi Zhang".

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a slim figure standing in front of it.

She was a girl with fair skin, tall figure, cool temperament and long legs. It was Zhu Mange.

There were no elders around today, so she was wearing a white tulle pleated skirt.

But the white dress could not hide her plump, full and attractive figure.

Especially the pair of proud and surging breasts on her chest, which are even more charming under the faint visibility of a red rose-patterned tube top.

The convex parts are convex, and the concave parts are deep and cleavage-like. The tender white skin looks even whiter against the white clothes.

The deep grooves on her chest always attract men's attention.

"Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Yang didn't know why Zhu Mange came to see him so early in the morning.

So he didn't say anything, but waited for Zhu Mange to continue.

Zhu Mange was embarrassed and said, "Senior Brother Ye, I and a few friends have established a justice society in the sect. Can you come and join the team and help us to strengthen our momentum?"

She walked with her long and straight legs, and her plump and tall upper body made her tube top stretch tightly.

The fragrance came, but Ye Yang's first reaction was to refuse. Although the person in front of him was a great beauty, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

From ancient times to the present, social organizations have often been the initial forms of forming cliques, small factions, and small circles. The Zhu family can get close to them, but cannot have too much contact with them.

"I'm going out soon and I don't know when I'll be back."

Ye Yang did not directly refuse, nor did he directly agree, but said something ambiguous.

Zhu Mange stomped her feet.

"Brother Ye, don't forget, between the two of us, there is still..."

She wanted to use her beauty to lure Ye Yang to be her thug.

"Hold on!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Yang walked into the house, and soon after.

With a creak, the old wooden door was opened by Ye Yang.

Ye Yang took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to Zhu Mange.

Zhu Mange asked, "What is this?"

Ye Yang said.

"Junior sister, the engagement was just a joke. Father and Uncle Zhu Yue both know about it, so it can't be taken seriously."

"That's what I was thinking. Why don't we write a book and we'll be even now."

"you……"

Zhu Mange wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to turn hostile. She originally wanted to use this plan to make Ye Yang her helper.

But he never thought that he would almost shoot himself in the foot.

I had no choice but to put down the paper and pen, and then said.

"Brother, what are you talking about!"

Ye Yang naturally understood Zhu Mange's thoughts and put away the paper and pen.

"Junior sister, I wonder what plans you have for the future."

Without waiting for Zhu Mange to speak, Ye Yang continued, "Three months later, when the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is over, it will be time for the battle for the "Flying Seven True Ones". Junior Sister will definitely not give up this opportunity."

Feitian Qizhen is the highest title for the younger generation of Feitianmen, and it is not just a name.

It also involves the future distribution of sect interests, personal treatment, and promotion channels.

As a member of the family, Zhu Mange knew the true value of the Feitian Seven, so his breathing became heavier.

"Brother, do you have a solution?"

"Of course. I can guide you in your practice and help you analyze and plan how to obtain the title of the Seven True Flying Ones. Now we can sign the contract."

"Then what do I have to pay?"

Zhu Mange is not stupid. Everything has a price. There are hundreds of disciples in Feitian Sect, and I don’t know how many people are eyeing this piece of coveted cake.

"Six hundred spirit stones."

Zhu Mange smiled. It seemed that Senior Brother Ye was really short of money.

However, six hundred spirit stones are not cheap. When she first arrived at Feitianmen, she only had thirty spirit stones in a month.

Six hundred spirit stones were equivalent to two years’ income, but she was the youngest daughter of the Zhu family, and her daily pocket money was higher than the sect’s welfare.

Ye Yang is quite powerful in Feitian Sect. She has just arrived here, so it would not be a bad thing if she could get his guidance on cultivation.

Although talking about money with a beautiful woman is a very embarrassing thing, Ye Yang is not a person who cares about face. Face is the cheapest thing in this world.

What he needs most at this stage is spirit stones.

With the spirit stones, he could buy meridian-protecting pills to provide an additional layer of protection for the heaven-sacrificing ceremony.

You can also renovate houses, build courtyards, level the soil, attract tenants and earn rent.

As time went on, the spirit stones accumulated like a snowball.

"Sure, but can it be a little less? How about 500 spirit stones?"

Zhu Mange hesitated for a while and gave the current price. It seemed that she was afraid that Ye Yang would go back on his word. She said, "I will pay on the spot."

Ye Yang remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Zhu Mange was afraid that Ye Yang would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, then six hundred spirit stones."

Then, Zhu Mange took out a bag and said, "Here are three hundred spirit stones. Please accept them, Senior Brother."

Then, she took out another bag, counted out three hundred spirit stones from it, handed it to Ye Yang and said, "Senior Brother Ye, please count them."

Although I was surprised why the other party prepared two servings.
