Now Lin Jiang's daily expenses are approaching 100 spiritual stones. Even though his ability to draw talismans has improved a lot, he still spends more than he earns. He relies on his savings to support himself.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't want to eat anymore?"
Xu Wei was a little surprised when he saw Lin Jiang stop eating after eating eight buns. "
I'll put them back to eat. I'm lazy and I don't want to cook for myself,"
Lin Jiang said with a smile. Xu Wei's buns are bigger than an adult man's fist, and two weigh more than a pound. It's already a lot for him to eat eight in one meal. Of course, if he refines them after eating, he can eat dozens more, but no one will do that. With this money, it's better to eat a proper spiritual meal.
The buns he left were for the big and small sand sculptures to improve their food. These two have been friends for a hundred years, and they can't be treated unfairly.
"I see,"
Xu Wei said. He was a little worried that this big customer would run away. If he ate like this, he would get tired of it in less than three months. It seems that he has to spend more time studying the filling of the buns.
The Xu family has been in the West City Market for many years, and they have many old customers. People come to eat buns one after another. Some people see Lin Jiang as unfamiliar and will chat with him.
Lin Jiang's social phobia is not serious, and he also hopes to make some friends, so he soon met a group of new friends, all of whom are vendors in the market, and their cultivation is not low, all of whom are in the late stage of Qi training.
This is the problem of the circle. Lin Jiang has the ninth level of Qi training and the skill of drawing talismans. Whether it is the blind date market or making friends, he is considered to be of high quality, so those people quickly accepted Lin Jiang. If Lin Jiang's cultivation is not good, it is impossible to integrate into their circle. People will not take you to play at all.
Among these friends, many have been in Yunzhong City for generations, and they are considered half-natives, but none of them have real estate in Yunzhong City like the Xu family, but none of them have real estate in Yunzhong City.
This is the case for most of the immortal cultivators. Most of their income is invested in cultivation. If they succeed in cultivation, it's fine. If they fail, then it's all wasted. And cultivation is not about how much you invest, how much you can get back. Most of the time, it's all wasted.
"Sometimes I think that we immortal cultivators are not as happy as mortals. Mortals spend their whole lives getting married, having children, and enjoying their grandchildren. They live a very comfortable life. Unlike us, we run around for a little bit of resources, but in the end, it's all for nothing."
"There's really no difference between us immortal cultivators in the Qi training stage and mortals. The only difference is that we have a good body, don't get sick, and feel more comfortable when we get old. I also regret embarking on the immortal path."
Occasionally when chatting together, many people doubted the identity of immortal cultivators. Why do they practice cultivation?
There is not much difference between immortal cultivators in the Qi training stage and mortals. They don't live more than a hundred years old, but their lives are much harder than mortals. This is not in terms of material, but in terms of spirit. Mortals don't have so many pursuits, but they are happier.
"Hope, what immortals cultivate is hope, break through the foundation-building stage, extend their life for a hundred years, and stand at a higher position to look at all living beings,"
said Lin Jiang. He often sighed at the lives of ordinary immortals. Among a hundred Qi training immortals, not even one can break through the foundation-building stage, and most of them are empty-handed.
But there is still hope, isn't it? If people live only for the basic life of eating, drinking, and sleeping, then it is too boring. What is the difference between that and salted fish?
Lin Jiang can live for countless years, but he doesn't want his life to be limited to a city or a village. He hopes to see the thousands of mountains and rivers in the world of immortals, live freely, and no one can threaten him. This is the biggest motivation for his immortal cultivation.
