Chapter 120 Hope

Hei Mudan also guessed what Yuanfang was going for, so she made her own, opened the two food boxes, took out the food and wine and placed them one by one.

In the inn lobby, Yuanfang slapped the receipt on the counter and asked, "Is this real or fake?"

The shopkeeper understood it when he got it, and handed it back, "Really, the woman with dark skin just paid the money."

After taking back the receipt, Yuan Fang turned away without saying a word, his eyes flickering non-stop, thinking to himself, is this okay?

He found that he only saved a few hundred gold coins after tossing and tossing in Nanshan Temple for a few years. Why not do it like this, thinking about what is going on, if it is suitable, this is a way of making money!

Feeling hot, he quickly returned to the house, walked up to Niu Youdao, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Master Dao, really."

Niu Youdao glanced sideways, a little speechless, and found that Yuanfang was a bit petty in his work, as if he had never seen money before, didn't he want to learn from Yuan Gang, how could you throw away the protected object and run away with just a thousand gold coins? Is money more important than people?

After the dishes were set and the wine was poured, Hei Mudan took out a small porcelain bottle, and sprinkled some white powder on each dish for drug testing to show the light.

However, Yuan Fang reached out and took the small porcelain bottle from her hand, got some on her finger, licked it with her tongue, tasted it, and returned it to the other party after confirming that there was no problem.

Niu Youdao couldn't help laughing, forgetting that this person is an expert in medicine, he pointed at Hei Mudan's "Strange Beast Record" which was put aside.

Black Peony immediately offered it with both hands.

Niu Youdao took "Strange Beasts" in his hand, flipped through it, and found the one with the picture book of Jin Wangxiong, and handed it to Yuan Fang, "Look."

What are you looking at? Yuan Fang was suspicious, held it up and looked at it, his eyes were startled.

Niu Youdao stretched out his hand to signal for Black Peony to sit down, and at the same time asked: "Is Black Peony a nickname?"

Finally willing to talk to herself, Black Peony cheered up, sat down in a regular manner, nodded and said with a smile: "It's a nickname, but also a real name. I didn't know who my parents were when I was young, but I knew that I had been wandering on the streets as long as I could remember. I grew up black and was called Black Girl. Later, when I met my master, I called him Black Peony."

Niu Youdao snorted, and asked, "Who is your master?"

Black Peony: "A casual cultivator with no family or sect, once took me out to sea to collect spiritual grass, he was robbed and killed, and I escaped into the sea by chance."

Niu Youdao raised his chin, "Are you single?"

Black Mudan: "I used to have eyes but no eyes, and I was with a man, and then that bastard dumped my mother in order to climb high. Now I'm with a few like-minded brothers."

Realizing the hatred in his tone, he toasted to cover it up.

Niu Youdao accompanied him for a drink, and at the same time squinted at Yuan Fang beside him, noticing that Yuan Fang's expression was wrong, he was secretly amused.

Hei Mudan put down the wine glass and motioned for a table of dishes, "Sir, try to see if it suits your appetite." At the same time, she got up and sat beside Niu Youdao so that she could help pour the wine.

Niu Youdao picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few mouthfuls, then asked: "What is your cultivation level, and what is your brother outside?"

"The cultivation base has reached the foundation building stage, otherwise I wouldn't dare to look for sir." After filling the pot with wine for him, Black Peony tried to ask, "I don't know your name yet."

"Xuanyuan Dao." Niu Youdao explained himself with a smile, then pointed to the ugly Yuan Fang, "His name is Jin Wei."

After offending the enemy of the Song family, especially killing Song Long, the envoy of Yan, both of them changed their names to the outside world. Yuan Fang didn't rectify his name at all, Nanshan Temple used to call him Xiao Jin, and the name Jin Wei was chosen by Yuan Fang himself. Yuan Fang felt that Yuan Gang's name was very strong, and thought his own name could not be worse, so he called him Jin Wei.

Hei Mudan smiled and said: "I just heard that Brother Jinwei called Mr. Dao Ye. So that's the reason. Then I will also call Mr. Dao Ye in the future. I don't know what kind of expert you are?"

Niu Youdao said with a smile: "Just like you, they are casual cultivators."

Hei Mudan's expression changed, and then he relaxed again, and said with a smile: "Impossible."

Niu Youdao asked strangely, "Why is it impossible?"

Black Peony: "It's not easy for casual cultivators to get some money. There are a few Yaoyue Inns who are willing to live with these ten gold coins for a day, and the Daoist looks so young and handsome, with his followers..." Glancing at Yuanfang, he shook his head.

And Yuan Fang had already closed "Alien Beast", sat on the side, grabbed the wine glass and held his head up, taking a sip to suppress his shock.

Only now did he realize that he was actually something that many people wanted to kill, and that his hair was regarded as a treasure by practitioners, and could be used to weave it into an invulnerable defensive soft armor. Fortunately, he dared to show his hair before, and he broke out in a cold sweat thinking about it.

Niu Youdao glanced at him sideways, knowing it well, and smiled at Hei Mudan: "Aren't you a casual cultivator?"

Hei Mudan knew that he meant that he had spent ten gold coins to live in the same place, "It's different, I paid to live in because I wanted to find the Taoist master."

Niu Youdao said with great interest, "Why are you looking for me?"

Hei Mudan didn't believe him, he didn't know, if he really didn't know why she was being ordered around like this, he secretly encouraged himself, and finally said his intention, "I want to create a sect and get rid of this loose cultivator status."

Niu Youdao: "This is a good thing, but does it have anything to do with me?"

Black Peony asked: "Presumably the Taoist should know the conditions for establishing a sect. It's not that we say that we are not casual cultivators or that we are not casual cultivators, nor that we say that we are a sect is a sect."

Niu Youdao nodded: "First of all, this sect must be recognized by the practice community before it can be established in the practice world, but it is impossible to get everyone's approval, so the practice community recognized nine highly respected Yuanying stage masters as notaries. The sect’s recommendation and guarantee, I don’t know if I’m right?”

Black Peony nodded: "What Daoist said is completely correct. We are not the top ten masters in the alchemy list. We don't have the prestige recognized by the world, and we can't directly get the notarization of names. We can only go the normal way."

Niu Youdao asked with a smile: "Then I wonder how many of the conditions you have met?"

Black Peony: "We have proven our strength. We have completed the 30 missions on the list of demons and crooked ways. Now we only need financial resources and sect referrals."

Niu Youdao knows that the so-called list of demons and crooked ways refers to those who break the rules of the practice world, or those who have done too many bad things and aroused public outrage.

As for those who want to create a sect, you can't say that if you have strength, you have strength. You have to prove yourself. If you want to establish a sect in the practice world, you must first prove that you are willing to defend the rules of the practice world, right?

Well, there are a bunch of bad guys' names on the list, you can figure it out.

They won't force you either, you can solve whatever you think is easy to solve.

In all, there are 30 missions, kill 20, and find out the whereabouts of 10 bad guys and report their hiding places. The person who posted the list will notify the corresponding enemies of those bad guys to solve it. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to kill those thirty together, and you will definitely be considered as having completed the task.

Niu Youdao clicked his tongue and said, "It's not easy to complete thirty tasks." Thinking about it, I know it's not easy. It's dangerous or not. How much time and energy it will take, these people are fighting hard enough to get rid of their status as casual cultivators.

Hei Mudan said with a slightly sad expression: "In order to complete these thirty tasks, more than a dozen of our brothers died, and now there are only a few of us left. After paying such a high price, we must give an explanation to the dead and the living."

Niu Youdao raised his glass to his lips, and said slowly: "That means there are difficulties in other aspects."

Black Peony looked at him with hope in his eyes, "In terms of proof of financial resources, we can figure out a way for the basic application fee of 10,000 gold coins. At present, we still lack a referral sect, and there is still a fine of 100,000 gold coins that we can't afford."

In fact, the fine of 100,000 gold coins was not imposed on the sect applicants, but on the sects that recommended and guaranteed them. In the world of spiritual practice, establishing a sect is a serious matter, it is not a child's play, you can't play it if you want, and you can stop playing if you don't want to, so you can't just vouch for others.

If you are recommended and guaranteed, you will be responsible. No one in the newly established sect will quit the sect within three years, and you will solve problems internally. It roughly means that a sect doesn't even have the basic self-management ability, why do you create a sect? Create to play?

If something like this happens, the sect will be deemed to be disbanded automatically, and it will no longer have sect qualifications, and the guarantor will have to pay a fine of 100,000 gold coins to Misty Pavilion. The so-called "Misty Pavilion" is not a place name or a name of an object.

Under such rules, which sect would easily guarantee someone? It’s not that those who are quite friendly will not agree to this and cause trouble for themselves. Those who are willing to recommend and guarantee you are already doing their best. If you are a little conscious, you will first give out 100,000 gold coins to others. You can’t let the guarantor take the risk for you, right? This money can either be used as a security deposit for others, and it will be returned to you after passing the rules when it expires, or you don’t expect to pay it back, just use it as a gift money for asking for help.

Having said that, how could Niu Youdao not know what she meant.

Casual cultivators are indeed the most embarrassing group in the practice world. If you want to join other sects, normal sects are unlikely to accept some messy outsiders who have become monks halfway out of self-protection, unless you are really beneficial to this sect. And most people with this strength disdain, why find a sect to restrain themselves?

The crux of the problem is that, out of the protection of their own interests, each sect of practice has formulated rules through the alliance of the cultivation world called "Piaomiao Pavilion". It is called to prevent the normal life of ordinary people from being disturbed, and to prevent monks from competing for profits with the people.

This rule, which seems to be fair to all monks, has almost cut off the money of casual cultivators due to the influence of various factors.
