Chapter 372: White Horse Sweet Pomegranate, One Fruit Ten Cows

Wu Tianen was indeed a little excited.

Chen Huaisheng was able to break through the ninth level of Qi Refining in such a short time and enter the peak of Qi Refining in one fell swoop. This was of course a great joy, but it also relieved some of the inner anxiety of the old Zhonghua faction, including Wu Tianen.

Cao Renben failed to break through the foundation building, and even regressed from the peak of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the jade pill shrank and fell. This hit Cao Renben himself hard, and also made Shang, Zhu, You, Ma, and Wu feel very disappointed.

Liu Chun tried to break through the ninth level of Qi Refining but had no progress. He had been in seclusion for a year and had no movement so far. He also hoped to travel outside and try to find inspiration.

Zhao Sitian is still in seclusion, but it is said that he has advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he hopes to get the jade pill in one step and enter the peak state, so he has not come out.

Several people who are expected to break through the foundation building seem to be still lacking some heat, which makes Shang Zhu and others feel very uncomfortable.

In contrast, Ding Liren has already successfully reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he has not yet been able to grasp the Jade Pill and reach the peak.

In addition, three disciples of the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining who were merged from Lingyun Sect have successively advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining and entered the peak state within the past six months. This is what makes Shang Zhu and others most anxious and irritable.

They are already far behind in the number of people who have established their foundation. If the gap in the number of backup candidates who have the ability to establish their foundation is getting bigger and bigger, where will they put their face?

Now we finally hear an exciting good news.

Although everyone had hope for Chen Huaisheng before, considering that he had been promoted continuously and climbed all the way from the fifth level of Qi Refining in a very short time, it would be rare if he could be promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining. No one dared to expect him to reach the peak, especially when there was no news about Chen Huaisheng in the past year, but now he has suddenly made a big splash.

As if he realized his own loss of composure, Wu Tianen calmed himself down and couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding: "Huaisheng, you didn't disappoint us after all."

"Uncle Wu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Huaisheng vaguely felt that it might still be related to Lingyun Sect and the Ding family, but he didn't know the specific reason.

"Nothing, just some feelings." Wu Tianen shook his head, "Huaisheng, I'm afraid you have heard that the government and the Taoist Palace will hold another Taoist meeting next year. Do you think our Chonghua Sect should participate?"

"It seems that the sect has made up its mind and wants to participate?" Chen Huaisheng sighed, "I think all the disciples in the sect still want to go? It's also a short-term horizon and see the world?"

Hearing a hint of reluctance in Chen Huaisheng's words, Wu Tianen was surprised: "Huaisheng, you don't seem to be very happy?"

"Well, from a personal point of view, the disciple doesn't want to go." Chen Huaisheng calmly stated his attitude: "Of course the sect has its own considerations, and this year our sect has many talents. The disciple thinks that he can have a good rest at the mountain gate, or go to Bianjing but not participate in the competition."

Wu Tianen thought for a while, "Huaisheng, I'm afraid I can't make this decision yet. It depends on the opinions of the head brother and others."

Coming out of Wu Tianen, Chen Huaisheng walked along the Taoist temple to the entrance of the valley.

Although he had not been out for only a year, Chen Huaisheng found that there were significant changes outside the mountain gate. The number of mortals could be seen with the naked eye. There was a significant increase in the number of mortals.

Extending along the valley mouth to the outside of the mountain, at least several hundred steps were shops and markets, with various teahouses, wine shops and stalls lined up one after another. At least one or two thousand people lived in this area.

As the number of disciples in the mountain gate continued to increase, a huge demand market naturally formed around the daily consumption of these disciples.

Dao seeds, mortals, sect disciples, and even some casual cultivators from outside could be seen.

After observing for a while at the valley mouth, Chen Huaisheng set his sights on a spiritual material shop that seemed to have just opened.

Chen Huaisheng was a little curious.

Hebei's business was not prosperous, but the Chonghua Sect, a large sect, was based here. In addition to the disciples, there were about 500 of them, plus various Dao seeds and mortals who were recruited and attached, and the number had already exceeded the thousand mark.

For example, Chen Huaisheng has dozens of people in his cave. Although they can basically be self-sufficient, they still have to come here once every ten days or half a month.

Chen Huaisheng and Min Qingyu have already made an agreement with these Dao seeds.

The jade wheat and spiritual millet planted in the spiritual field, in addition to the needs stipulated by themselves, the remaining surplus harvest will be given to these Dao seeds in proportion, which also greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of these Dao seeds to plant.

Similarly, Chen Huaisheng also gave some encouraging policies on taming monsters and planting spiritual herbs.

He knew very well that the effect of simple slavery was not good, it would be better to adopt this kind of profit-sharing model to enhance everyone's enthusiasm.

These Dao seeds can also bring their earnings here to trade and sell, and purchase what they need at the same time.

After a rough look, Chen Huaisheng found that this street market outside the valley has gradually become popular, and there are at least a dozen spiritual material shops.

In addition to the largest one, which is the shop set up by Kuixing Pavilion here, the others are probably set up by some merchants from Fuyang, Yanzhou and other places.

Chen Huaisheng walked into this shop which was estimated to have been open for less than a month.

The shop was not big, and judging by the categories written on the sign, it should also sell specialties from Si County.

"Winter silk jujube is a naturally woody spiritual fruit. It nourishes qi and nourishes the spirit. It is of great benefit to monks with woody spiritual roots and neutral spiritual roots. Long-term consumption has the effect of improving both Taoist bones and spiritual roots."

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's eyes fall on the red and green fruits with silky patterns specially placed in the crystal cover, the shopkeeper had already come out and introduced them with a smile.

"Oh? It's rare." Chen Huaisheng nodded, "What about this one?"

"Haha, Master Immortal has good eyesight. These are Luoyi White Horse pomegranates, which are expensive." The shopkeeper had a smile on his face. It seemed that he had met a big buyer who was willing to spend money. "You should know that Luoyi White Horse Temple, That is where Luoyi's aura shines. There are only thirty-six pomegranate trees in the White Horse Temple. Each pomegranate tree produces thirty to fifty pomegranates every year. There are only two pomegranates left in the shop now. Last year's pomegranate trees produced Produce,……"

"Oh?" Chen Huaisheng was surprised, "Is it that white horse sweet pomegranate?"

The shopkeeper nodded sharply: "The Taoist master has also heard of the reputation of the White Horse Pomegranates? To be honest with the Taoist master, the owner of our shop has some connections with the Dacheng Sect in Luoyi, so he can get a sweet pear plant every year, because our shop just closed the business. We have achieved Fuyang Road, so we have specially approved five pieces. Three have been sold, and only two are left.”

"I've heard of the reputation of this white horse pomegranate. One pomegranate can be exchanged for ten red bulls, but what are its benefits?" Chen Huaisheng asked curiously.

"There are too many benefits, but the most intuitive one is that it can nourish spiritual roots and increase spirituality. I don't need to say more." The shopkeeper smiled softly.

A single sentence of "nourishing spiritual roots and increasing spirituality" is enough to make people's hearts beat. As long as they are practitioners, no one will need it.

But three types of people are the most urgent.

One is those who have not yet entered the Tao after awakening their spiritual roots, the other is those who need to reach the peak of Qi refining to build the foundation, and the third are those who need to overcome the tribulation and enter the Dengzi Mansion at the peak of the foundation building.

Adding spirituality is actually stimulating one's understanding. Enlightenment and entry into the Tao are just a flash of insight. This touch of spirituality is all needed to understand and enter the Tao, ascend to the foundation, and even enter the Purple Mansion.

It’s hard to say whether the claim that sweet pomegranates can increase spirituality has been confirmed, but based on this rumor alone, it’s worth buying.

It seemed that someone came in again. Chen Huaisheng didn't care and asked directly: "How much does this cost?"

After looking Chen Huaisheng up and down, the shopkeeper nodded: "This is my first time in Wolong Ridge. I also want to make a good relationship. I hope I can take care of you more in the future. If you sincerely want to buy it, just take two thousand spirit stones." ,..."

Although he had expected that this kind of thing would not be cheap, Chen Huaisheng was still shocked when he heard that the other party's price was two thousand spirit stones.

"So expensive?" Chen Huaisheng just had time to say something when he heard someone behind him say: "Shopkeeper, how many more do you have here? I want them all!"
