Villa lobby!
Lin Ye leaned back on the sofa and looked at the incense burner on the table. This was something he had just brought back from another world. When he took it out just now, he accidentally spilled some of it.
Then he looked at the chat history in the group.
For some reason, Lin Ye thought of a set of photos of China taken by AFP some time ago.
The empire is actually me?
impossible.
I am just a newbie, how long have I been practicing, uh...
Lin Ye suddenly realized that, including the years of idleness, he had been practicing for quite some time.
Looking back, I realized that I was the boss.
Empiricism is deadly.
Lin Ye felt a little embarrassed, and the old man Nanshan sent him a private message.
【Old Man from Nanshan:? 】
【Lin Ye: It’s okay. 】
[Old Man Nanshan: I heard from Zhongshan that you are relatively young and should have just started practicing. If you have any questions, you can ask everyone in the group. There is also a file in the group announcement that you can download and read. If you have any questions, you can ask me.]
【Lin Ye: OK.】
After opening the group, Lin Ye downloaded the group file and read it. The file mainly contained an introduction to the group rules.
This group organizes communication and transactions between different people.
If anyone needs something or wants to sell something, they can send it directly to the group and then conduct the transaction privately.
Another thing is friendly help. Sometimes when you need some help, you can look for them in the group and chat privately for the appearance fee.
The only rule is no personal attacks.
【Lin Ye: What does that friendly help mean? 】
[Old Man Nanshan: If a fellow Taoist in the group wants to go to a sealed realm and needs help, or has other needs, and a fellow Taoist in the group happens to meet those needs, then an appearance fee will be given.]
Sealed realm?
This was the first time Lin Ye heard of it.
【The old man from Nanshan sent you a file】
Lin Ye received several files sent by Old Man Nanshan, which made him feel good about him. He was really kind-hearted.
After reading these documents, Lin Ye finally had a general understanding of the Sealed Realm and the current situation of real practitioners.
The conclusion is: practitioners in the real world are all lucky , but their lives are also hard.
These strange people were all disciples of the ancient cultivation sects. It was just that in modern times, although some of the traditions are still there, it has become very difficult to practice due to the changes in the world.
Among hundreds of disciples in a sect, perhaps only one is lucky enough to embark on cultivation.
But even if one is lucky enough to embark on the path of cultivation, cultivation is extremely difficult and progress is very slow. After all, upright cultivation is done step by step, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin that it may take ten thousand steps to make one footprint.
There are ways to practice cultivation quickly, but most of are evil and involve doing things that are against the will of heaven and earth.
Things are different now than in ancient times. If you, a practitioner, dare to do something that is against the will of heaven and earth, you will probably be caught and forced to operate a sewing machine before you can achieve success in your practice.
However, practitioners are not completely without opportunities to break through. The sealed realm is an opportunity.
The so-called sealed realm refers to a small secret realm that existed before the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth inside has not been affected by the outside world and is isolated from the outside world. Therefore, it is called the sealed realm.
There are many reasons for the birth of a sealed realm. The three most common ones are: the first is that it was the cave or place of meditation of a powerful practitioner in his lifetime; some may be the place of formation laid by a practitioner in ancient times; or it may be an area that some natural treasures choose to seal themselves for the purpose of self-preservation.
Among these three types, the third sealed state is the best. If it is discovered, it means that you can obtain rare treasures. No practitioner will inform others.
If it is the first or second type, some of them require joint efforts to break through. Some formations are set up by the predecessors of a certain sect, and require people from that sect to open them. You can only cooperate with people from that sect.
[Old Man Nanshan: Fellow Daoist Lin is a newcomer, so try not to cooperate with strangers outside the organization.]
【Lin Ye: Why is this? 】
[Old Man Nanshan: If interests move people, there may be danger. If it is a fellow Taoist in the organization, both parties can report to the organization after reaching a cooperation. If one party has an accident, the organization will investigate to ensure that there will be no internal fighting.]
Lin Ye understood what this said. If he entered the sealed realm and found a treasure, it would easily lead to a fight. There were no constraints on the aliens outside the organization, and both parties cooperated for the sake of interests. It would be better within the organization. If something happened, the organization would investigate, so there would be no behind-the-scenes conspiracy.
Unless he believes he can withstand the organization's investigation.
【Lin Ye: I see that the fight for the incense ash is very intense in the group, is this very precious?】
【Old Man Nanshan: …】
[Lin Ye: I don’t know much about this, so I’m asking, shouldn’t there be a lot of Taoist temples with incense ash?]
[Old Man Nanshan: Where are the real incense ashes in Taoist temples nowadays? The incense ashes come from people making a wish and then helping them fulfill their wish. The incense burned by the other party sincerely can become incense ashes, but there are no immortals or Buddhas in Taoist temples nowadays, so naturally there is no incense ashes.]
Lin Ye frowned. If that was the case, where did the incense ash come from?
[Old Man of Nanshan: The three grams of incense ash from Fellow Daoist Tianluo Swordsman were found in a sealed realm, which is an abandoned ancient temple. It was also Tianluo Swordsman who was lucky enough to find three grams of star fire ash.]
Lin Ye once again looked at the incense ash in his incense burner and asked: [Is this incense ash valuable? How much can one gram be exchanged for? ]
【Old Man Nanshan: …】
[Old Man Nanshan: How can such a treasure be measured with money? Incense ash has infinite uses. It has a restraining effect on ghosts and monsters, and can also be used to consecrate magic tools. If you really want to exchange it for money, one gram will cost at least several million.]
Good job.
Lin Ye looked at the answer from old man Nanshan. There were treasures worth hundreds of millions on his table.
[Old Man Nanshan: Fellow Daoist Lin is a newcomer. You can join our offline gathering in three days to discuss and exchange ideas, and learn more about our circle of extraordinary people.]
Hearing this, Lin Ye felt a little moved. He really needed to know more about the situation of real practitioners.
【Lin Ye: Okay, I’m willing to participate. 】
[Old Man Nanshan: I will ask Zhongshan to send you the address later.]
…
…
After ending the private chat, Lin Ye looked at the group for a while and found that everyone was still discussing the matter of three grams of incense ash. He couldn't help but turn off his phone in disappointment.
"Let's go out for a walk and visit my cousin's company."
Lin Ye stretched lazily. After staying in the other world for a long time, he couldn’t stay at home all the time when he returned to the real world, otherwise it would be easy to lose touch with the world (what’s the point of coming back if he doesn’t pretend to be cool).
