Chapter 1 Homesickness

.5.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed.

In the garden of Tao Ranju, peaches and plums are now fragrant, and the garden is full of melons and fruits.

Yiyi sits on the swing frame in the orchard, swinging freely. After several years, Yiyi's image has not changed at all. Even if she has become enlightened, she still looks like a little girl. Due to the essence of vegetation, the essence has a long life and a very long period of maturity. Therefore, after growing to a certain extent, the speed of continued growth will be greatly slowed down. A few years is just a snap of the fingers for Jingwu.

In contrast, Xiaohu became fatter and fatter.

It has now officially reached adulthood, and is at the peak of the top grade. It has not yet awakened its bloodlines, let alone enlightened wisdom, so it is still muddled every day, living a life of opening its mouth.

Yiyi on the swing, wearing a corolla woven by herself, was swinging on the swing with her little feet, and tapped the buds in the distance with her fingers. Straws of fresh and tender grass emerged from the soil under her guidance, giving birth to green leaves, and soon formed a green grassland, which seemed to be a bit of spurring the growth of seedlings.

This is an ability that Yiyi has mastered since she became wise, and it can make plants grow quickly. However, quick success is extremely harmful to the medicinal properties of spiritual plants. If it is used on valuable spiritual plants, it will only ruin good things. It is only suitable for some ordinary plants and used as fodder for feeding.

A few bighorn cows are greedily eating the freshly grown grass in the field at this moment, while the little tiger is watching from the side.

Tang Jie entrusted the junior students to get these big-horned cows from Tiger Roaring Valley, and kept them here as food for the cubs, which was much better than buying them outside. After all, food with spirituality is not cheap, and cubs have a big appetite, and Tang Jie can't let it go hunting all day long, so he can only raise a few in his own garden as a supplement for meat. These bighorn cows were frightened by the little tiger at first, but after a long time, they got used to it and they lived in peace.

This is also the thing that Tang Jie couldn't figure out. This little guy has eaten so much spiritual food, why hasn't he advanced yet?

For this reason, he asked Wang Poguan specifically, but Wang Poguan was overjoyed when he heard it. He only said that the later the better, he wished that it would not be wise for a hundred years.

A monster that has not developed wisdom for a hundred years is basically synonymous with no future in the cultivation world, but Wang Poguan said it so excitedly that even Tang Jie didn't know what to do. Tang Jie didn't believe that Wang Poguan would have the idea of ​​"let the child be an ordinary person and live his life in peace", coupled with the fact that the Tiger Clan of Tiger Roaring Mountain is obviously different from other Tiger Clans, Tang Jie I do understand somewhat.

I'm afraid that this is the talent of Wang Poguan's family, which requires a relatively long period of growth.

Tang Jie remembered that in the ancient and ancient times, there were some big monsters who had an extremely long growth period, even if they were young, it took a hundred years. Once they matured, they would at least be a powerful existence at the level of the Zifu Xiantai. He didn't expect Xiaohu to have this kind of bloodline, but considering that this little guy had three innate spells before his bloodline was awakened, it's really hard to say how big his background is.

After the evergreen grass grew in the field, Yiyi didn't stop casting spells, but controlled some plants to continue to grow. They grew taller, intertwined with each other, and gradually formed a grass house.

This is a typical waste. The evergreen grass grows so tall, which does not do any good. Instead, it squanders the only bit of spirituality and becomes a complete weed. Yiyi didn't care, just directed the grass to grow with great interest, and built the thatched house, not only built the house, but also extended it in all directions to form a platform, as if building a pavilion.

It's a pity that this work failed only halfway through, and the growing thatched house suddenly collapsed, turning into large grass leaves flying around.

Yiyi was so angry that she jumped to her feet and shouted, "I hate it!"

"What, failed again?" Tang Jie walked out of the room.

Four years later, Tang Jie looked more mature than before. Wearing a robe, there is a sense of majesty in every gesture.

This is the prestige that a cultivator naturally possesses after reaching a certain level, such as the coercion of the level of sapphire comes from this, and now it is finally reflected in Tang Jie. It's just that compared to Sapphire's flying, Tang Jie's aura is much more restrained.

Coming behind Yiyi at this moment, Tang Jie looked at Yiyi with a smile, the little guy was pouting and sullen.

Ever since she became wise, she has been dreaming of using plants to make a palace like the ice and snow elves, so that she can live in the palace and be the Queen of Nature.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't create a palace like the ice and snow elf.

Seeing Yiyi's angry look, Tang Jie smiled and said, "Every elf has its own specialties, why do you have to learn from her? You can't build a flower palace, so how can the ice elf know your beauty?" Luo Tianzhi?"

Qi Luo Tian Weaving is a spell mastered by Yi Yi after her advanced stage enlightenment. It is a group attack technique with a super large range, and its power is so powerful that even Tang Jie can hardly resist it with Wushuang Slash.

"But people just like the Flower Palace." Yi Yi replied in the unique way of a little girl: "I don't believe that I can't complete this spell...the Emerald Flower Palace."

Amid the whispers, another piece of grass rose up from the ground.

Seeing Yiyi's serious look, Tang Jie didn't try to persuade her any more.

From Tang Jie's point of view, the current Yiyi is still too far away from creating her own spells, and doing these is just a waste of time, but Tang Jie knows that some things cannot be purely based on gains and losses.

In the process of focusing on pursuing a certain goal, people can often burst out with great enthusiasm, high concentration, and profound wisdom.

After all, Yiyi is still young, and the self-created spells she pursues are like a dream, but in the process of pursuit, they can benefit her mentally. Because of this, after only a word of persuasion to Yiyi, Tang Jie let her go.

Without taking care of Yiyi, Tang Jie left the house and walked casually in the academy, but along the way, many familiar faces were no longer there.

Four years passed like lightning.

Peng Yaolong, Ye Tianshang and the others have already graduated. As the leading students, they also had an extraordinary performance in the Xianyuan meeting, so they joined the Xiyue Sect and became official disciples.

Peng Yaolong entered the Bloody Battle Hall of the War Department, Ye Tianshang entered the Congregation Hall and became Yan Changfeng's subordinate, and Long Tao followed his father Long Ruohai into the Fengtang Hall.

Fengtang is the department of the Xiyue Sect responsible for receiving donations from various places.

Different from Fengtang, Gongtang provides armed protection and charges extra expenses. Its nature is more similar to the bodyguard business, except that the bodyguards are more airy, have higher qualifications, and are more expensive. Fengtang is responsible for managing the offerings in various regions. , especially some important mining areas, planting areas, etc., are all in charge of Fengtang.

If Gongtang is an arms dealer that specializes in selling weapons to the outside world, then Fengtang is the taxation department, and with the existence of the state-owned enterprise Shangtang, the three together form the three major financial pillars of the Moon Cleansing Sect, which is also a big fat vacancy.

Qi Shaoming was still studying under Li Hongyang, and the news came two years ago that he had also entered the Transcendence, relying on his talent to quickly catch up and close the gap with Tang Jie.

Wei Tianchong has just escaped from the world at the beginning of this year. Although his aptitude is a bit average, but with the performance of Xianyuanhui and the identity of Changfeng True Inheritance, Wei Tianchong has also successfully promoted himself in eight years, and he finally lived up to the entrustment of the Wei family. . On the contrary, his elder brother Wei Tianzhi finally failed to escape the world at the end of the ten-year period, and now he has returned home, studying business and preparing to inherit the family business. Wu Xing, like Wei Tianzhi, failed to escape in the end, but he was in a calm mood. After returning home, he followed the young master and took charge of the business of Weifu. He was in charge of the business with Shouwangchuan. ——After returning from Hongmeiling, Wei Tianchong suggested that the family establish a communication line between Lingzhou and Shouwangchuan to traffic goods.

Because of this, Tang Jie also left his status as a servant student, but he still belonged to the Wei family, and his status was equal to that of the young master of the Wei family.

Shimeng is not as good, he has low talent and no resources, and now he is just like Wei Tianzhi, hovering between success and failure. Fortunately, Tang Jie comforted him and promised to ensure that he will escape from the world within ten years, so that Shimeng can grow up. Take a breath.

However, there was no news of Cai Junyang coming back. This guy has been away from the academy for many years, and he is always wandering in the rivers and lakes. No one knows when he will come back, and he doesn't know if he has entered the world. But with his qualifications, there should be no problem.

As for Tang Jie himself, now he has escaped the embarrassment of being a first-time escaper. He is in the period of hundreds of exercises, and every muscle and bone in his body is undergoing exercises. This is also the first transformation of a cultivator from a mortal body to a spiritual body.

In the field of cultivation, many people think that from this step onwards, the cultivator can be regarded as a true cultivator. As for the previous things, they are just wandering in front of the gate of cultivation. When a cultivator reaches this point, many things can no longer be solved by the accumulation of spiritual energy. Comprehension, experience, cultivation, spiritual energy, secret methods, and elixir, all kinds of requirements come one after another. The complexity of the requirements and the complexity of the changes are extraordinary. .

Walking on the forest path in the academy at this moment, Tang Jie had already reached the hanging list stage before he knew it.

After returning from Tuofan, Tang Jie also frequently went in and out of this place for a period of time, taking on many tasks in exchange for some resources.

With the help of these cultivation resources, as well as what he gained at the Xianyuan meeting, Tang Jie raised his physique to the initial stage of jade body again. But it was at that time that Tang Jie found that it was difficult to improve his physique.

Whether his current body is made of secret methods, in fact, there are still some hidden defects. The biggest problem is that it is difficult for the physical body to continue to be strong, but there is no obstacle in cultivation. However, as he entered Bailian, spiritual energy was no longer the only criterion for improvement, and money could no longer solve all problems. Under the influence of the two factors, Tang Jie's visits gradually decreased.

When a group of students saw Tang Jie, they saluted respectfully and called out, "Eldest brother!"

Now Tang Jie has become a first-class figure in Xiyue College, not to mention him, even Wei Tianchong is known as senior brother by everyone.

Thinking back to when he entered the academy at the beginning of the year, the brat was ignorant, ignorant and lazy, but now he has become a senior brother like a dog. Even Tang Jie had to shake his head and smile bitterly, saying, "The sea has not changed, and personnel affairs are still the same."

When these words came out, Tang Jie thought of the elders of the Wu family again.

Tang Jie visited them a few times when he was doing missions a few years ago. After taking the medicine sent by Wu Xing, the two old people were in good health and their spirits were much better. However, Tang Jie's method failed to deceive the two old people. The two old people actually guessed that Tang Jie bought it. After staying with the elders in Lingzhou for a period of time, Tang Jie continued to practice after returning. Unexpectedly, another two years passed in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of it at this moment, an inexplicable emotion has arisen in my heart, wanting to go back and see the second elder.

Once this thought came into his mind, he couldn't stop it anymore. Just at this time, he was on the Xuanbang platform again, so he simply walked to a student on duty in front of the stage.

Seeing Tang Jie approaching, the student called out respectfully, "Hello, senior brother."

Tang Jielue turned around and asked directly, "Are there any missions in Lingzhou?"

The student flipped through it, shook his head and said, "Not really."

When students go out, the college has always had rules, and they are not allowed to go out without incident, so the mission of the college is the best opportunity to go out. Whenever you want to go out to visit your ancestors, you basically have to pick up a mission first. For example, Cai Junyang has a mission on his body when he is training outside. It's just that this guy is shameless enough, he hangs on to the task and never completes it, he just takes the opportunity to break out outside. The college doesn't care about it, anyway, just follow Mingli's rules.

Because of this, even if Tang Jie wanted to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, he had to take on the mission first, otherwise, his one-day vacation every month would not be enough to go back and forth.

At this moment, he heard that there was no one, and Tang Jie was very disappointed. He was considering whether to go directly to Xie Fengtang to formally ask for leave, when the student said, "However, one of the tasks of the C-level sect belongs to Lingzhou."

"Class C sect mission?" Tang Jie immediately became interested when he heard it.

This C-level sect mission was sent from the Moon Washing Sect, and it could be accepted by the preparatory disciples. As for the higher-level missions, even the preparatory disciples could not accept them. Since it was a sect mission, the reward was also the contribution of the sect.

Because Tang Jie was recommended by Ming Yekong, he had long been a preparatory disciple. In the past few years, he had taken on many missions from the sect. He had already accumulated some contribution to the sect, and he had paid off all the debts he had owed.

At this moment, I heard that there was a C-level sect with a mission to go to Lingzhou. Tang Jie was overjoyed and asked, "Let me have a look."

The student handed over the rules to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie took a look and found that it was actually a spirit stone mine exploration mission.

There is a mountain called Yongsui Mountain in the north of Lingzhou.

Thirty years ago, someone discovered the Lingshi vein in Yongsui Mountain. Lingshi is an energy resource in the cultivation world, and its value may not be very high, but its significance is extremely important.

After the discovery of the Lingshi vein, the Zijin vein in Li Kingdom did not happen, and the local small sect, Shimen Sect, immediately announced that it would hand over to the Moon Sect.

After sending people to investigate, the Xiyue faction confirmed that it was a small spirit stone mine, and ordered the local branch to be in charge of supervision, and the Shimen faction was responsible for mining. For the sake of the other party's self-consciousness, it is a more generous approach.

The lode has been mined for thirty years now. As a small Lingshi mine, the Yongsui mine is gradually exhausted.

The Shimen sect sent a letter not long ago, saying that the Yongsui Mine is basically out of mines, please send people from the Xiyue sect to check and confirm that the mine resources are exhausted.

Since the ore vein has been mined for thirty years, it should be exhausted in terms of time, and there will be basically no problems. Therefore, the Moon Sect sent out this matter directly in the form of a task, giving some low-level disciples a chance to make meritorious service. There are not many contribution points, only two sect contributions, but for Tang Jie, the important thing is not the contribution points, but the opportunity to return home.

Yongsui Mountain is not very far from Canglong Mansion, and it only takes an hour to reach it by flying with a sword.

After seeing the mission at this moment, Tang Jie nodded and said: "Then I will accept this mission."

"Since that's the case, I will seal up this task for my brother. Brother, please remember that this matter must be completed before the end of next month." The student replied with a smile.

Tang Jie responded: "Thank you for reminding me, by the way, give me two more mission certificates, and I will invite Wei Tianchong Shimeng to complete it together."

People who are invited by Tang Jie to assist will not have task contributions. But what Tang Jie wanted was proof. Wei Tianchong Shimeng and the others have been away from home for a long time, thinking about it, they are already homesick.

After leaving with the proof, the student looked at Tang Jie's back, and suddenly took out a talisman, wrote "Tang Jie received the task of Yongsui Mine", and then burned it, dissipating in a wisp of green smoke in the air.
