Vol 3 Chapter 997: Someone who has been in the dust for many years is already full of 5 poisons...

On the third floor of the restaurant, Xing Ke and Jin Zha sit opposite.
"Speaking of elder brother, do you have any achievements in the Taoist Academy?"
When several dishes were on the table, Xing Ke's first question made Jin Zha a little dumb.
"Um... You asked this question, how can I answer it..."
Before Jin Zha even took an appetizing cold rice noodle, he put down his chopsticks in embarrassment because of the problem of star carving, and shook his head:
"Speaking of [achievements], of course I am the top senior among the hundred disciples.
But if you ask me [achievement], I really have nothing to show, and I can boast of achievements in front of my family. "
With that said, Jin Zha picked up his chopsticks and tasted cold rice noodles and drunk shrimp one by one, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"What I usually do most is to find some open problems in the refining circle, and try to solve the problems in my own way."
"for example?"
Xing Ke asked with boiled cabbage heart chewing in his mouth, not paying attention to table manners.
"...I just solved the problem of picture distortion when low-level monks use long-distance transmission mirrors.
After improving the refining method of the Shadow Mirror, it was sold to a business in Chaoge City, earning 600,000 spiritual stones. "
"...Damn." Xing Ke immediately exploded when he heard the words, put down his chopsticks and looked at Jin Zha and said, "I didn't expect to be pecked by the wild goose today."
"The third brother, what does this mean?"
"Usually I am responsible for the invisible installation β, but I didn't expect to be installed by you today." Xingke said a little disgustingly.
Because this world is more than human, the currency system is actually very messy. The currency issued by the Shang Dynasty might not be easy to use in front of some high-ranking monks.
Therefore, Lingshi, which can be regarded as general energy, has become the highest level of equivalent exchange.
Just take the table in front of Xingqi as a luxury banquet, not counting the service premium of the restaurant, at most it can only sell three spiritual stones.
The cost of lighting, fuel, heating, and cooling for an average person's home is only two to three spiritual stones a year.
However, Jin Zha just understated that he had not achieved much, and at the same time exposed that he just had a net income of 600,000 spiritual stones...
Isn't this just performing invisible pretend β in front of the star carving?
"Big brother, you are really modest enough. Your income has already surpassed that of your parents. You told me that you have nothing to do?" Xing Ke took a bite of the grilled lamb chops and said.
He is personally very upset that someone pretends to be β in front of him.
"Well, it's all projects for subsistence. The real masters don't bother to study these things." Jin Zha smiled bitterly and ate a slice of fried pork with chopsticks and shook his head:
"You don't know the third brother. If an immortal with great wisdom like my master Guangfa Tianzun and I solve the same problem, Tianzun might be able to see everything at a glance.
But Tianzun really disdains these. "
Speaking of these, Jin Zha still beckoned Xiao Er to give himself a pot of Lingguo aging before continuing:
"If you want to obtain cultivation resources, you must exchange something valuable.
But research projects that are valuable in the eyes of businessmen are not necessarily interesting.
Not to mention the tediousness, and there is no perceptual help for my own practice and Taoism.
In the end, the only things I got the most were those spirit stones. "
After receiving the wine glass handed over by the child, Jin Zha poured a sip of wine to sooth his throat before continuing:
"Isn't that the result? The long-term cultivation is stagnant, the inspiration for refining is also exhausted, and even the parents are forced to get married..."
"Haha, isn't this the legendary midlife crisis?"
Xingke smiled happily, listening to others complaining made him feel good.
However, Jin Zha doesn't matter anymore. While eating meat, he generously said: "Oh, just laugh. Anyway, I won't get married until I become a real master refiner.
What is ridicule? "
"Ahem, brother. You misunderstood." Xingke raised his hand and said, "What happened to you is actually not funny at all."
Although he didn't understand the situation in this world, nor did he understand Jin Zha's pain, he had seen too many similar things, and he had already been surprised.
It's just that this time he changed a background world, a new way of presentation, and a theme skin, which gave him a sense of novelty.
"Forget it, come here, continue to eat." Seeing Jin Zha's glass of wine, Xing Ke started talking, so he went after the victory:
"Today, as a local tyrant, you paid the bill. Wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't eat more?
And I will be responsible for listening to your complaints. "
"Okay, then I won't hide it from your elder brother. In fact, I can be considered a mess in Wulong Mountain.
Let me tell you..."
The next meal will almost become Jin Zha's story of the heroic struggle alone.
Xingke really has been responsible for listening and eating food as he said, and from time to time he complained about the logical conflicts in Jinzha's words.
I ate a meal for four hours and changed six tables of food and drink until late at night.
Jin Zha poured out all the bad words that he had held in his heart for the whole day and couldn't confide in front of his parents.
The Star Carving also fully understood what the world outside Chentangguan was like through Jin Zha's second-hand news.
In the middle of the night, of course the two people with extremely high cultivation bases didn't end up eating because of this small six-table banquet.
On the contrary, Jin Zha became a little groggy because of several altars of spiritual wine for practitioners and his indulgence.
So Xing Ke directly found an inn nearby and arranged for Jin Zha, who had not resisted, to go in. By the way, he found two young ladies who had personal service professions to stay and serve him.
After the operation, Xingqi himself used pocket money to spend money, and lost a lot of money.
Then Xing Ke simply did not practice, and went home by himself, washed and fell asleep.
Open your eyes and the next day...
Bang—Xing Ke’s door was pushed open by the maid Caique in a hurry.
"Master, Master~EbookFREE.me~ Get up, Master told you to go over..."
With similar words circulating in her mouth, Caique returned to the time when she waited for the three young masters to get up after a short while.
When Xingqi came to the lobby with Hache, Li Jing and Madam Yin had already been waiting here.
They all looked at Jin Zha, who was sitting on his side and dozing off, with complex and weird expressions. In the middle of the lobby stood a shrewd merchant man with a horoscope.
... Nezha, that little girl is definitely not here.
Seeing Xingqi coming in, Li Jing pointed at Xingqi and interrogated the eight-character Hu man in a majestic voice:
"Look, shopkeeper Qing, he found those two girls from you last night?"
"Yes, yes, it's the noble son." The man replied with a trembling voice.
"Hmph, shopkeeper Qing, your business is good enough, and you still managed to get a kid's head..."
