Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 1: Reward

To the west of the Izumo Mountains, in the natural area beyond the main peak group, there is a mountain called Winning Mountain.

There is a strange stone on the mountain. It is shaped like a boat, with two ends suspended in the air. Only a point in the middle rests on the top of the mountain. It looks like a scale. Even if a gust of wind blows, the strange stone on the top of the mountain will shake.

However, no matter how the stone shakes, it will not fall. If God helps, it will be as stable as a mountain.

On the hollow of the strange stone, there is a person sitting on the stone, meditating with his eyes closed, looking into the distance and thinking quietly. He is also holding a fishing rod in his hand. The long fishing line hangs from the air to the bottom of the mountain, fishing in this high altitude.

It is Tang Jie.

A **** piece of meat hangs from the fishing hook.

The meat was just lying on the ground, exuding a **** smell. Soon, a badger demon was attracted.

This badger demon is only a low-level psychic. For this little guy who has just become a demon, fresh flesh and blood still has a fatal attraction.

It looked left and right, approached cautiously, and after thinking that there was no danger, bit into the piece of meat.

At the same time as the bite was taken, the fishing line suddenly straightened, pulling the badger demon into the air.

The badger demon is like a fish swinging wildly in the air, and the rising fishing line emits spiritual light from time to time.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the distance: "Tang Jie!"

Tang Jie shook his hand, and the fishing line below broke with a snap. The badger demon fell straight down from the air, rolled a few times, and ran away quickly.

Watching the badger demon run away, Tang Jie did not chase after it. He just took back the fishing line and looked at the break, and said to himself: "Qi is like a hair, a thousand miles, but after all, it is still too far."

The rabbit demon Tutu next to him said with admiration: "This demon fishing technique is a secret method of my cultivation in the Tianyin world. It is the most important way to exercise the ability to manipulate and control spiritual energy. You must know that this silk thread is extremely thin. If you concentrate too much, it will cause the thread to break. You are not allowed to use fishing hooks to catch monsters. You can only use spiritual energy to capture them. It is equivalent to tying a heavy hammer with a thin line, which makes it even more difficult. You can practice it in less than a hundred days At this point, you have advanced very quickly. It seems that I have underestimated you after all. You are indeed a genius."

But Tang Jie knew that he was not a genius at all. It was the drop of white tiger blood that changed him and his qualifications. It's just that what White Tiger changed was not Yumen, but other aspects, such as physique, potential, and the ability to sense and control spiritual energy.

At this moment, as he was talking, the person shouting in the sky was already flying closer, but it was Wei Tianchong.

After returning from Yahai, Tang Jie came here every morning to catch monsters. Three months passed in the blink of an eye. As the days passed, everyone knew that if they wanted to find him, they had to come to Li.

At this moment, Wei Tian rushed together and landed on the stone boat on the top of the mountain. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Jie waved his hand: "Don't tell me, let me guess your purpose. If I guess right, these There will be debates about my contribution and rewards in the days, so there must be a plan, right?"

Wei Tianchong laughed: "I admire it, I admire it. It's true. The results have come out from Paili."

In the battle between clear water and blue sky, coupled with the battle in the Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, Tang Jie killed two and a half of the beast-refining sect Tianxin, killed hundreds of beast-refining sect disciples, and destroyed the teleportation circle. These were all his meritorious service.

Any merit should be rewarded, but the question is how to reward it.

The radical cultivators in the sect believe that Tang Jie should be rewarded heavily and trained as a future elite of the Xiyue Sect.

However, some people think that this move is inappropriate. Although many disciples of the Beast-Slaying Sect were killed in this battle, the secret treasure in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden was not obtained after all. Although the Beast Refining Sect suffered heavy losses, the Xiyue Sect actually gained little. Although it is said that the enemy's losses are our gains, this cannot be endlessly exaggerated. Since the Xiyue Sect itself has no benefits, then their contribution can be calculated based on the number of people killed by Tang Jie. There is no need to give extra rewards.

Rewards and punishments must be fair. This fairness does not only refer to the non-reward of the reward, but also includes the arbitrary reward of the undeserved reward.

As a result, arguments within the faction arose, and both sides were quarrelsome.

Because it was related to additional rewards, Tang Jie was very open-minded, so he ignored it, and would not go to the public relations office as before. He would just fish for monsters on this mountain to entertain himself every day, and train himself. In the eyes of some people, they felt that this boy had a good character, good concentration, and did not take pleasure in things or feel sad about himself, so they had a better impression of him.

Now that three months have passed, the debate within the faction has finally settled, and a unified opinion has been reached.

Wei Tianchong was the one who sent this news, but he didn't expect that Tang Jie would already guess the news as soon as he arrived.

At this moment, Tang Jie said lightly: "This is nothing. How about this, I will make a bet with you. Just bet that I can guess what the reward given by the party is. If I guess it, you can Tell me the method of distraction and concentration."

"What?" Wei Tianchong trembled.

This distraction and calming technique is his master Yan Changfeng's secret technique. It would be a serious crime to pass it on to others.

Tang Jie has said: "Don't worry, I am mainly using this method for reference. I will never leak it, let alone pass it on to others. If I lose, I will use the whole set of knowing one's heart and one's nature. All the Dharma is given to you."

Hearing this, Wei Tianchong felt much relieved.

After thinking about it, I felt that I still had a good chance of winning, so I finally nodded and said: "Okay, that's it. You say it!"

Tang Jie then said: "The dispute this time is not actually about the contribution, but about the additional rewards. The sword wielder believes that in addition to my due contribution, I should open the Water Moon Cave to me and grant me freedom within the Nineteenth Peak. He is responsible for walking, free to enter and leave Tianyi Pavilion, and does not need to make basic contributions for twenty years. During the Jin and Tang Dynasties, he was appointed as the chief minister of the secret hall, and he was also rewarded with 300,000 soul coins. True Lord Xuan Yue believed that the reward was too rich and unfair... …”

Speaking of this, Tang Jie paused and said with a smile: "Actually, I also think this reward is too generous and unfair."

The so-called Shuiyue Cave Heaven is the blessed land of Cave Heaven of Xiyue Sect. It is the place where countless great masters from the sect have returned to ruins, and the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Qixia Realm. One day of cultivation inside is as good as ten days and a hundred days of cultivation outside.

There is also a thousand-year spiritual field, home to countless exotic flowers and plants, which is the first-class important place of Xiyue Sect.

Opening Shuiyue Cave to Tang Jie was the most favored one.

As for the freedom of movement on the Nineteenth Peak, it means that he can walk anywhere within the Xiyue Sect and below the Nineteenth Heavenly Leader, regardless of the sect's rules. This is a great right of free passage. Although it has no practical effect, it represents Prominent status and great future.

Twenty years of basic contribution exemption means that Tang Jie no longer needs to pay contributions for his residence. Of course, he has to pay other parts.

As for the three hundred thousand spiritual money, there is no need to explain the free entry and exit of Tianyi Pavilion and the promotion to Changqing.

Such a generous reward is just an extra part. Even Tang Jie thinks it is too high, and this is the source of the dispute within the sect.

But Tang Jie knew that this was not actually because of his merits, but because Xiao Biehan took the opportunity to challenge and create difficulties for the conservative forces within the faction.

As those in power, what conservatives are stingy about is not this reward, but that it breaks the rules and hinders fairness. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for conservatives to agree to such a plan.

And their opposition will undoubtedly cause Tang Jie to suffer losses, and it is very likely that because of his dissatisfaction, he will turn to the radicals.

No matter how bad it is, the radicals also showed their importance to Tang Jie, and it was even a "show of goodwill". For the younger generation, sometimes the reason for choosing one side can be very simple, that is - Who values ​​themselves more.

In terms of the amount of rewards alone, radicals value themselves more than conservatives. At least they are willing to break the rules for their own sake.

But unfortunately, this trick did not have much effect on Tang Jie. He had seen through it all very early. Although the radicals were willing to break the rules because they valued him, more importantly, it was because they were not really in power. square.

Of course Tang Jie would not say these words to Wei Tianchong, but just said: "Actually, True Lord Xuanyue also recognized that I have made a considerable contribution to this matter. Considering that the Ten Thousand Beast Garden is of great significance to the Beast Refining Sect, This was the reason why the two factions had enmity back then, and it was necessary to give additional rewards on this matter. Therefore, the dispute between the two parties until now is actually a process of mutual concessions. The sword wielder will remove some excessive rewards, and True Lord Xuan Yue will It’s also appropriate to open up a wide range of circumstances, so naturally everyone will be happy. Many things are easy to make exceptions as long as you find the reason. So I guess the final reward content is as follows: "

"First of all, the basic part, this part is simple. I am going to Yahai, and I have fifty-one disciples of the beast-killing refining sect, including eighteen from the Hundred Refining Sect, twenty from the Nine-Refining Sect, and There are eleven people with knowledge, two people with Tianxin, and fifty-seven people who are difficult to verify. The contributions are calculated based on ten points of one hundred refinements, fifty points of nine transformations, one hundred points of enlightenment, and one thousand points of spiritual rings. Those who are difficult to verify are unified into fifty points. Calculated by points, the total contribution is 7130 points. In addition, destroying the teleportation array will reward you with 1000 contribution points. Plus the task of finding Lin Baizang, the total reward will be 8630 contribution points."

"The second reward is the extra part. First of all, it is impossible to be promoted to Changqing. This matter has limited benefits for me, but it extremely breaks the rules, so I will not promote it. At best, I will be promoted to Cong Chief. Walk freely in the Nineteenth Peak It's the same thing. Having power without real power, and if the strength doesn't match it, will not benefit me. It will only attract jealousy and trouble in vain, so it can be avoided."

"That's right." Wei Tianchong nodded.

In the dispute between the two factions, these two rewards were first canceled.

"The free entry and exit of Tianyi Pavilion has also been cancelled. It's not that this reward is not important, but that I have read the Shenxiao Secret Code and the Purple Jade Heart Method successively, so this reward does not mean much to me. Even in the future If you still want to read it again, you can also think of another way, so this condition is actually used to give in."

Wei Tianchong was stunned after hearing this.

Tang Jie continued: "As for avoiding the need for basic contributions for twenty years. Since I am now at the fourth level, I am not far from enlightenment. Once I enter enlightenment, I will encounter three withering tribulations and the risk will increase. In order to protect talents This part of the plan is the only one that has not decreased but increased. In my opinion, the basic contribution should be waived for thirty years. This ensures that I do not need to travel for basic contributions within thirty years. Of course, as a price, three hundred thousand The spiritual money reward is reduced to 30,000. In fact, the contribution is only for permissions, and the spiritual money is resources. Exchanging permissions for resources is the most appropriate and smartest way."

Wei Tianchong’s mouth could no longer close.

"The last thing is about Shuiyuedongtian. Shuiyuedongtian is an important place in our sect, and disciples of all generations are proud to be able to enter and practice there. Since I have made such a great contribution, there is no problem in being allowed to enter Shuiyuedongtian. And this is the best part to operate. Allowing entry is one thing, but how long I can enter is another. From my guess, True Lord Xuanyue should have allowed me to enter Shuiyue Cave, but limited the time. ."

As he spoke, Tang Jie raised three fingers: "Only three days! Of course, the sword wielder will not agree so easily. The final result should be that the contribution exchange is opened at the same time. Allow me to extend my time in Shuiyue Cave with my own contribution. The price is based on the standard, 300 points for one day's contribution, but only this time, and I am allowed to enter at a time of my own choosing, within ten years!"

Wei Tianchong felt his eyes go dark: "You...you guessed everything right!"

Tang Jie burst out laughing: "Since you guessed it right, let's fulfill the bet."

Wei Tianchong could only tell Tang Jie the distraction and calming method with a grimace. While passing it on to him, he also warned that it must not be leaked, otherwise Yan Changfeng would definitely skin him.

Finally, after being taught the method of distraction and concentration, Wei Tianchang suddenly remembered something: "The method of distraction and concentration is the most conducive to enlightenment. It is said that if you practice to the highest level, you can multi-purpose and comprehend multiple mental methods at the same time." , supporting each other without disturbing the original mind. In addition to abundant spiritual energy and a thousand-year spiritual field in Shuiyuedongtian, there is also a treasure, which is that it contains the cultivation experience of countless ancestors of the Xiyue Sect. Many disciples who entered Shuiyuedongtian only Understanding the thoughts of our ancestors brings us a lot of benefits. My master was the one who benefited the most from Shuiyue Cave. The Nine Transformations of Sunlight was a spell he created by understanding the legacy of nine ancestors in Shuiyue Cave. He suddenly became one of the Nineteen Heavenly Leaders..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Tang Jie: "You asked me for a distraction and calming technique. Did you know you were going to Shuiyue Cave?"

Tang Jie smiled but did not answer.

Wei Tianchong suddenly realized.

He looked around suddenly and shouted: "Yiyi? Where's the little girl Yiyi?"

Tang Jie shrugged: "Where else can it be? Of course it's the place where the news is released. I said you don't really believe that I can even guess this kind of thing, right?"

"You lied to me!" Wei Tianchong rushed towards Tang Jie angrily and punched Tang Jie.

Tang Jie had already run away laughing, but with his speed, Wei Tianchong had no chance of catching up.

————————————————

As Tang Jie said, during this trip to Yahai, Xiyue Sect finally gave him three days in Shuiyue Cave, as well as a reward of 30 years of basic contribution reduction, in addition to 30,000 spiritual coins and the more than 8,000 yuan. Point to contribute.

With these, Tang Jie's future life will be much easier.

Don’t forget that he got a lot of benefits from killing those people.

Tang Jie sold everything in his hands one after another. Even if he sold it cheaply, he still got about 400,000 spiritual coins. You must know that Tang Jie had more than fifty mustard seed bags in his hand. The bags alone could be sold for more than 200,000 yuan. The remaining ones were only sold for more than 200,000 yuan because some of the ones that were difficult to deal with were given away. The other part of the Yundan Banner that could be used for his own use was left by Tang Jie for his own use.

With this money and his previous contributions, Tang Jie would have no problem not going on a mission for a long time.

However, Tang Jie did not do this. Instead, he took over the task as Benjili.

This is to prepare for the trip to Shuiyue Cave.

The most valuable reward this time is Shuiyuedongtian.

This is the center of the Xiyue Sect, with a large amount of resources. Historically, only elite disciples who have been specially trained and disciples who have made great contributions are eligible to enter.

What Xiao Biehan won for Tang Jie was not only the three-day trip to Shuiyue Cave, but more importantly, the qualification to exchange the subsequent days for his available contributions.

That is to say, as long as he makes enough contributions, Tang Jie can stay in Shuiyuedongtian, but the redemption can only be done once. Once he leaves, he will no longer be eligible to redeem, unless the Xiyue Sect opens the qualification for him again.

Tang Jie didn't know when he would be qualified for the second time, so he had to seize the opportunity, work hard to complete tasks, and accumulate more contributions.

The limit of the quota reserved for him by the Moon Washing Sect is ten years. As long as he wants to join within ten years, he can join at any time, so he must make full use of these ten years.

If possible, he hopes to go in when enlightenment occurs. If he can achieve enlightenment in Shuiyue Cave, or even survive the three withering tribulations, it will undoubtedly be the happiest thing.

In this way, Tang Jie began to desperately take on tasks and earn contributions for himself. Relying on his ability to change shape, he walked freely among the mountains and rivers, never fearing the threats from the Celestial Palace and the Beast Refining Sect.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, Tang Jie has completed dozens of sect missions. Although it is no longer a big mission like Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, which requires 8,000 points of contribution at a time, even if it is 100 points at a time, the little will add up to a lot, and it will gradually become more important. Accumulated thousands of contribution points.

Of course, as a price, the result of running around every day is that the training time is greatly shortened. In three years, Tang Jie only practiced from the fourth rank to the fifth rank.

In contrast, the disciples of the same period who were left behind by him took the opportunity to catch up again.

Tang Jie was not in a hurry. He was still busy with tasks every day. Another seven years passed in a flash.

As he continued walking, he became more and more familiar with this world, and he felt more and more integrated into this world, becoming more and more like a cultivator of immortality.

During this period, he experienced many things. He investigated his disciples' corruption, hunted down traitors in his sect, stole secrets of his sect, and even massacred the entire sect of a certain small sect because the other party was bribed by the Beast Refining Sect.

He has experienced many battles, including twelve major battles, countless small battles, and three life-and-death battles. Each time he narrowly escaped death, and each time he escaped with his life by relying on his body. There was even one time when he He was also set up, fell into a trap, and almost died. ~IndoMTL.com~ It was then that he truly realized how big the outside world was and how strong the opponents outside were. Even among casual cultivators, there were countless crouching tigers and hidden dragons, both in terms of brains and strength. Not inferior to his peers.

Due to the excellent completion of the sect's tasks every time, Tang Jie's reputation in the Xiyue Sect has become more and more famous. Nowadays, many people see him and call him senior brother.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and Tang Jie has cultivated from the fourth level to the eighth level. The speed is much slower than before, but the accumulated contributions are getting more and more, and now the number of contributions has exceeded 30,000.

The contribution is enough, but the realm is insufficient. There is still one turn left before Tang Jie completes the ninth turn. Even if all the time is spent on cultivation, it will normally take one to two years. .

However, Tang Jie was not in a hurry, because not long ago, his body had just experienced the test of Nanmingli Fire God Flame again, and once again obtained a thousand-year-old demonized white lotus.

Tang Jie used this object to trade with the Qi Jue Sect, and finally completed the Nine Transformations three months later.

At this time, the deadline for Shuiyuedongtian is less than a month away.
