Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 95: Lan Guifang and Shenyuan Pill
Yizhuangli.
Hearing that Jiale had returned, Qiu Sheng also came back for dinner.
Jiale took out three pocket watches and handed them to Uncle Jiu, Qiu Sheng and Wencai. Having made a lot of money, Jiale was not stingy. When he came back, he bought five pocket watches, three for Uncle Jiu and the other two, and the remaining two for Simu and Ikkyu when he returned.
"Uncle Master, this is what I bought when I came back. Yours is a bit old. Use this to tell time from now on."
Then he handed the other two to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, "Hey, don't say that I don't take care of you. Here are the pocket watches. Each of you has one."
The two of them were delighted when they took the pocket watch. With their salary, it would be impossible for them to buy a pocket watch in their lifetime. What's more, their salary usually wasted before they even got it. Now Jiale had made their dream come true.
Uncle Jiu also took the pocket watch. He had the money to exchange it for another one, but there was a photo of Lianmei on the back of his pocket watch. He often thought of her when he saw the photo, so he naturally didn't want to exchange it.
"You're wasting money again, why don't you thank your senior brother quickly."
Although he complained about Jiale's wasteful spending, Uncle Jiu's eyes also revealed satisfaction.
"Thank you, Brother."
Looking at his two apprentices, he shook his head and said, "You're back just in time. I heard that Lan Guifang's tour will arrive in Renjia Town in a few days. Then, we can go together. The last time I heard Lan Guifang sing was the last time. I forgot when it was. This is a rare opportunity. You must have never heard it. It was very nice."
Lan Kwai Fong sings!
After coming to this world, the people Jiale could remember were all those in the plot, but there were a few who he could always remember because people talked about them so much. One of them was Lan Guifang.
The theory of all kinds of people is still popular even now.
Lawyers, yamen runners, scales, matchmakers, pawnbrokers, temptresses, thieves, stealers, high platforms, blowers, circus performers, pushers, pool players, back scrubbers, repairmen, matchmakers, prostitutes, dog beaters, oil sellers, pedicures, barbers, food carriers, tailors, actors, blowers and drummers, witches, great gods, bangzi, actors, street performers, candy sellers, etc., all belong to the lowest nine classes.
The upper nine classes look down on the middle nine classes, the middle nine classes look down on the lower nine classes. All walks of life in this era are not as equal as in the previous life. Even among the lower nine classes, there is an invisible chain of contempt.
However, there is a saying that there are top talents in all 360 professions. Even among the lowest classes, there are always some who can bring their profession to the top.
Lan Kwai Fong is such a person.
Lan Kwai-fang, who was born into an opera family, had a legendary journey, which was quite similar to that of Mei Lanfang whom Jia Le had heard of in his previous life. She was born in a humble family and was discriminated against in the beginning. But gradually, with her singing voice, Lan Kwai-fang became a guest of honor among some dignitaries, and attracted the admiration of people who liked to pretend to be cultured all over the country.
Lan Guifang's ambition was not only to make herself famous, but also to lead the opera industry out of the quagmire. However, it was so difficult, so Lan Guifang started a national tour. Wherever she went, she could set off a wave of people listening to and loving opera, and she won over many fans. Even Uncle Jiu liked her very much.
And because of Lan Kwai Fong's existence, the status of Chinese actors has also improved. Although it is not much, it is effective after all.
After seeing the effect, Lan Kwai Fong became even more enthusiastic about it. In addition, she invested all the money she earned in the stage and charity, so her reputation became more and more famous. Now there is a popular saying in the upper class: You can look down on actors, but you cannot look down on Lan Kwai Fong.
After hearing so much about it, Jiale was somewhat curious about Lan Kwai Fong. When he heard Uncle Jiu say that there was a chance to listen to Lan Kwai Fong perform an opera, Jiale was also looking forward to it.
night.
Jiale came to see Uncle Jiu and took out the seven hundred year old ginseng.
Jiale really couldn't handle this spiritual ginseng by himself. When it came to refining medicine, Jiale knew nothing about it. If he wanted to make this spiritual ginseng work, he had to ask Uncle Jiu for help.
"Uncle Master, let me show you something good."
nice one!
Uncle Jiu also became interested after hearing this. There were probably not many things that Jiale could describe as good things. After all, when he was still living a tight life, Jiale had already become financially free.
"Then I'll have to watch carefully."
Looking at the box that Jiale placed on the table, Uncle Jiu also became more serious. Jiale did not keep him in suspense and slowly opened the box. After seeing the true appearance of the spiritual ginseng, Uncle Jiu's eyes widened .
“Seven hundred years old spiritual ginseng!”
It was indeed Uncle Jiu, who saw through the details of the spiritual ginseng at a glance.
"Master, you have a keen eye. You recognized it at a glance. This spiritual ginseng is what I got from Renjia Town this time. Master said that this spiritual ginseng can be used as medicine, which is very beneficial for cultivation. But I don't know how to make it, so I thought of bringing it back to Master."
Uncle Jiu picked up the ginseng, looked at it carefully, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Not bad, not bad."
"Jia Le, you are really lucky. After Master refines this spiritual ginseng, he should be able to produce a furnace of ginseng essence pills. After you take them, it will be very helpful for you to break through the Qi Refining Realm."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Jia Le was also somewhat moved. Uncle Jiu had no selfish intentions towards such a good treasure. It must be said that, apart from the one blemish of having two treacherous masters as his disciples, Uncle Jiu's life was really perfect.
"Uncle Master, I am not in a hurry to break through the Qi Refining Stage. This spiritual ginseng is prepared for you. I heard from Master that you are at the point of breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Stage. If this spiritual ginseng can be of some use to you, it will be a great merit for me."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu paused and looked at Jia Le with a more moved expression.
"Jia Le, do you know the value of this spiritual ginseng?"
Jia Le nodded, "Of course I know this disciple, but no matter how valuable this spiritual ginseng is, its value can only be measured by its effectiveness."
Uncle Jiu looked at Jiale with a complicated expression.
While his own disciple was still doing his utmost to trick him, Simu's disciples began to show concern for his uncle's breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm. They were all disciples, so why was there such a big gap between them?
I have to say, at this moment, Uncle Jiu was really envious of Simu.
Shaked his head.
"Although the seven hundred year old spiritual ginseng is good, it is not very useful for breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Realm. To help the Spiritual Transformation, you need a spiritual ginseng that is at least a thousand years old. Jia Le, there is a huge difference between refining essence into Qi and refining Qi into Spiritual Transformation. The practice of Qi Refining Realm is not as simple as you think. You must not underestimate the strength of Qi Refining Realm just because you use the summoning magic and kill enemies above your level.
You will know when you break through the Qi Refining Realm. I see that you have made great progress this time. I'm afraid you will soon start to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and prepare for breaking through the Qi Refining Realm. In the next two days, I will explain to you the key points. Leave this spiritual ginseng with me for now. If you want to refine it, you need some auxiliary materials. When I, your uncle master, am ready, I will start to refine the elixir.
If you are willing, you can give your master a few 700-year-old Shenyuan Pills, which will be of some benefit to your master's practice."
After hearing Uncle Jiu say that this 700-year-old Shenyuan Pill was useless for his breakthrough, Jiale was a little disappointed. In fact, Jiale still hoped that Uncle Jiu could successfully break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. After all, Uncle Jiu's attitude towards him was obvious. If Uncle Jiu could break through, and then hunt down some demons and monsters at the Spirit Transformation level and ask Uncle Jiu for help, he would finish off the enemy. Then, his energy bead business would have great potential.
However, a thousand-year-old ginseng is not so easy to come by, so you can only leave it to fate.
Jiale was surprised that Uncle Jiu wanted to tell him about the later stages of practice. At the stage of Qi transformation, Simu only told him about the joints of transforming essence into Qi, and he really had no idea about the details of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians.
For the next three days, Jiale went to Uncle Jiu's room at night to listen to his explanations. He also told Uncle Jiu about what happened after he went to Renjia Town to fill in the gaps.
However, Jiale did not say much about the Great Sun Divine Form Secret. It was not that he wanted to keep the secret to himself, but even if he told him, Uncle Jiu would not be able to practice it. And it was impossible to explain why Jiale could practice the Great Sun Divine Form Secret under such harsh conditions. So after thinking about it, he finally decided to keep it a secret. It would not be too late to tell him later when he had solved the difficulties and allowed Uncle Jiu to practice it.
The secret of the unknown space is too important. Jiale doesn't want to use the unknown space to test Uncle Jiu and Simu, so the unknown space will only be a secret known by Jiale in this life.
After three days, Jiale had almost figured out the subsequent practice and felt much more at ease. During these three days, Jiale made progress in practicing the Great Sun Divine Form Secret and his aptitude improved a lot. As he practiced, Jiale had a good idea of his progress in practicing the Great Sun Divine Form Secret.
According to this progress, after a hundred days of practice, Jiale will be able to master the Great Sun Divine Form Secret and initially possess the rudiments of the Sun's True Body. With such a unique aptitude as the Sun's True Body, even if he is just getting started, it will probably be enough to make Jiale a true genius. By then, he should no longer have to worry about the so-called aptitude bottleneck.
However, the prerequisite is to have energy beads. After three days of practice, there are only the last four Qi Refining grade energy beads left in the unknown space.
While practicing the Great Sun Divine Form Secret, the twelfth essence has already transformed into Qi, and one can officially begin to open up the eight extraordinary meridians and prepare for a breakthrough into the Qi Refining Realm.
Uncle Jiu also began to prepare the auxiliary materials for refining Shenyuan Dan. He wrote letters one after another, asking about the whereabouts of those auxiliary materials, exchanging or purchasing them from some friends. At this time, Jia Le also knew that the value of these auxiliary materials was not low. After all, he was refining the elixir for himself, so he couldn't really ask Uncle Jiu to help pay for the auxiliary materials.
Uncle Jiu was already poor enough, and if he was really allowed to buy them, he would probably have to bankrupt himself. So after Jia Le knew the value of those auxiliary materials, he directly gave the twenty-five gold bars to Uncle Jiu, and only kept five for himself as a reserve for emergencies.
Jiale still remembered Uncle Jiu’s expression at that time. The twenty-five gold bars had a great impact on Uncle Jiu. His expression was even more complicated than when Jiale took out the spiritual ginseng. It seemed that he was doubting his life. He was thinking about why Jiale, at his age, had such a fortune, but he could only live a hard life.
In Lingying Hall.
This is where Uncle Jiu collects the spirit infants. Although the charity cemetery is small, it has everything you need. The Spirit Infant Hall, the Morgue, the Demon-Subduing Hall, etc. are all divided into classes.
These are all things that accumulate good karma. In fact, every Maoshan disciple who goes down the mountain is doing these things if they have the energy to spare.
Jiale was most envious of the things in the Demon-Suppressing Hall. Uncle Jiu did not kill all the demons and monsters he captured. Some of them were kept in the altar in an attempt to purify their resentment. Uncle Jiu was kind-hearted, and even if they were evil ghosts, he was willing to give them a chance to reincarnate.
However, Jia Le thought that if Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were not careful, the demons and monsters in the Demon-Suppressing Hall would escape at any time. By then, the charity cemetery might be destroyed, and Uncle Jiu's good deeds would be greatly damaged, making Uncle Jiu, who was not rich to begin with, even worse off. Therefore, Jia Le was planning to destroy Uncle Jiu's Demon-Suppressing Hall at any time.
After those demons and monsters are transformed into energy beads, it may be enough for Jiale to enter the realm of the true sun body.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Seeing Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who were usually very stingy, forgetting to spend their money on the heart-shaped words, Jia Le couldn't help but feel curious. This would probably use up all their pocket money for the year.
After hearing the voice, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai hurriedly hid the circle of words. They only breathed a sigh of relief after they saw that it was Jia Le.
The two of them proudly showed the circle to Jiale, "Brother, there will be a performance by Sister Fang in Renjia Town tonight. This is the gift we prepared for Sister Fang. How about it? Pretty enough, isn't it?"
Jia Le was speechless when he heard this. It turned out that it was not just modern people who were idol-chasing. Qiu Sheng was also quite talented in literature. Thinking back to when he saw Uncle Jiu tinkering with something just now, it seemed that these three masters and apprentices were really not from the same family.
"Well, what are you talking about, Qiu Sheng, go get the seal for the master."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's voice, Qiu Sheng hurriedly hid the circle of words behind Wencai. However, no matter how quickly he hid, he could still hide it from Uncle Jiu's eyes. He looked at his own small circle of words, and then at the big circles of Qiu Sheng and Wencai. Uncle Jiu unceremoniously took the big circle of words for himself.
"How beautiful! The Ghost Festival is coming soon. You should fold all the ingots. If you don't fold them well, you won't be able to watch Sister Fang's show."
It can be seen that Uncle Jiu is really happy, but it is Qiu Sheng and Wencai who are suffering.
The world is big, but the master is the greatest. Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had no choice but to agree.
"Jia Le, come over with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai later. I'll go save a seat for you."
Watching Uncle Jiu jumping away, Jiale finally understood why Wencai loved watching plays so much. This must be a true legacy.
"Brother, what should we do? There are so many gold ingots. By the time we finish folding them, Sister Fang will have finished her performance."
Wencai pouted, expressing his bitterness vividly.
Jiale also smiled and said, "It's a small matter, I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother."
After saying that, Jia Le looked at the spirit infants in the Spirit Infant Hall. There were more than a hundred spirit infants housed here. The three spirit infants at the top had the most resentment. Jia Le was not going to provoke those three, so he just summoned out the rest of the spirit infants.
"Come on, stand in line."
The spirit babies were still very scared when looking at Jiale. After all, Jiale was not Qiu Sheng and Wencai. His aura of being at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm made the spirit babies dare not approach him. When they heard Jiale's words, they all stood still obediently.
Jiale put all the materials for stacking gold ingots in the middle.
"Fold the gold ingots and I'll bring you eggs tomorrow. I'll also make up for what my two junior brothers owed you. How do you think?"
