Chapter 102: Modern Immortal Cultivation 200 Years After the End of the World 6
Zhang Tianyi's eyes were red and her face was covered with tears. She walked into Zhang Xiaojia's yard with heavy steps.
Every time he entered the yard, Zhang Tianyi would be stunned by the scene before him.
This yard is not only spacious, but also has a beautiful environment with shady trees and lush flowers and plants, making people feel relaxed and happy.
There is also a well in the yard. The water in the well is cool and transparent. It can be drunk directly and has a bit of spiritual energy.
Zhang Tianyi couldn't help but feel jealous.
She felt that her family was too unfair. Why was such a nice yard given to Zhang Xiaojia?
She could only share a yard with her brother, which seemed much simpler in comparison.
If Zhang Xiaotian knew what Zhang Tianyi was thinking at this moment, he would probably feel even more aggrieved.
He only lived in an ear room, not even a side room. There were only three small rooms and the space was very cramped.
Zhang Xiaojia noticed the jealousy in Zhang Tianyi's eyes and slapped her on the forehead without hesitation, saying, "Put away those jealous eyes! This courtyard was originally the main courtyard of the eldest house, where my father lived. Later, I liked it, so I traded with him. Your main courtyard is the same size, but your parents just don't want to trade with you. Go complain to them if you have the guts."
Zhang Xiaojia broke down the truth of the matter and explained it to her clearly, hoping that she could understand the reason.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianyi showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
This was completely different from what her grandmother and mother had said before, which made her very confused and shocked.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at her expression. Fortunately, there was confusion and shock on her face. She was not hopeless. Jealousy had not completely blinded her heart. She could still listen.
This child has been led astray. The fact that she has been led astray means that she has a lot of free time. In that case, let her be busy.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Zhang Tianyi, who looked reluctant, and sighed helplessly. He pointed at all the immortal cultivation professions on the table and said seriously, "I'll give you three days. You must choose a profession for me. You don't have to sleep at night. You can meditate and practice with me."
Zhang Tianyi looked at the desk full of books and the corners of her mouth twitched. There were many kinds of books, but her face was full of resistance.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the unlucky kid in front of her and sighed inwardly. She had scanned all the books and was going to give him some benefits.
She asked softly, "Can you help me scan the books? Is there anything you want?"
Zhang Tianyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "You want to buy it for me?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said gently, "Should we buy it now, or should we buy it for you after you choose your career?"
Zhang Tianyi directly said, "Go buy it now."
The two of them arrived at Xiuxian Street's most luxurious shopping district, but Zhang Tianyi headed off to another street. This street was bustling with activity, with independent cultivators setting up stalls. Zhang Tianyi wandered from stall to stall, selecting various items. She bought a number of low-level defensive and offensive magical tools, as well as several pieces of clothing with defensive functions. Of course, Zhang Xiaojia paid for all of this.
Watching Zhang Tianyi's endless shopping, Zhang Xiaojia's mouth twitched. She thought to herself, "I'm about to bleed profusely, and all she bought were these things?"
However, considering Zhang Tianyi's inner inferiority and arrogance, she did not suggest going to Xiuxianlou to buy clothes, so as not to make Zhang Tianyi feel that she was insulting her.
At this moment, Zhang Tianyi came to a stall selling talismans and prepared to buy some attack talismans. Zhang Xiaojia saw her and quickly pulled her aside, asking, "What do you want to buy these attack talismans for?"
Zhang Tianyi replied proudly, "I'm going to the exotic beast area to hunt."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojia suddenly felt a headache.
She thought to herself, "Does this guy have any self-awareness at all? She just reached the third level of Qi Refining, and she did it by taking pills, and now she's running off to the hunting area. Who knows who's going to get eaten by whom?"
Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "You don't need to buy the talisman paper. I'll draw it for you. Can you also buy one thing? It won't exceed 1,000 spirit stones. You can buy anything you want."
Zhang Tianyi was jealous again. Her family gave her so many spirit stones, but she only got 100 spirit stones every month.
Zhang Xiaojia couldn't help but give her another slap on the head, and finally explained, "These spirit stones were given to me by Dad, Uncle Qiao Zheng, and Uncle Liu Xiao. I basically didn't ask for any spirit stones from the family. I participate in the family competition every year and always come in first. The family also gives me extra spirit stones. Most importantly, I have spirit stones from hunting and gathering. I can make pills and talismans and sell them. Of course, I'm richer than you."
Zhang Tianyi quickly ran to Zuixianlou and reserved a pot of Zuixian wine. He would pick it up at noon tomorrow.
Zhang Xiaojia knew the shopkeeper and said directly, "Uncle Yu, my dad will give it to you at noon tomorrow. You can ask him for the spirit stones."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Zhang."
Zhang Tianyi rolled her eyes, but she didn't feel much jealous. Although her father was not as good as her uncle, he was still pretty good.
The two returned home, and Zhang Xiaojia asked her to choose a career.
After Zhang Xiaojia set up the spiritual formation, he said, "Tianyi, you will practice directly in the formation later. I have placed spiritual stones and silence notes for you. If you dare not practice, you can give it a try."
Zhang Xiaojia sat down to meditate and practice, closing her eyes to feel the spiritual energy around her, which kept drilling into her body.
To draw the spiritual energy into the body and cultivate one's own internal breath, so as to temper the body and strengthen the internal organs, the monks need to "breath and meditate" and "contemplate themselves" for a long time to sense the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, guide the spiritual energy in the meridians, and travel along the path of circulation. Finally, they need to cultivate a breath of spiritual energy and gather it in the dantian.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Xiaojia reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. He continued to consolidate his thoughts.
Zhang Xiaojia opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn, and Zhang Tianyi was also meditating.
Zhang Xiaojia stood up. He hadn't slept all night, but he didn't feel tired at all.
He went to the desk and drew the attack symbol, defense symbol, and teleport symbol.
Zhang Xiaojia copied the book scanned by Zhang Tianyi into the reader provided by the system.
Zhang Xiaojia received the "Compendium of Intermediate and Elementary Talismans" and began reading it diligently. When she came across the description of an intermediate-level talisman called Samadhi True Fire, she felt a surge of familiarity. She repeatedly imagined the shape and drawing method of the talisman in her mind, and tried to draw it in the air with her fingers. After several attempts, Zhang Xiaojia decided to increase her strength and inject more spiritual energy into it.
However, to her surprise, as she continued to work hard, a blazing Samadhi Fire actually appeared before her. Faced with this sudden situation, Zhang Xiaojia was somewhat at a loss. She tried to use her spiritual power to control the flames, but found that she had no idea how to extinguish them.
In her anxiety, Zhang Xiaojia suddenly remembered the sound transmission talisman her father had given her. So, she took it out without hesitation and shouted for help: "Dad, help!"
Zhang Xiaojia's voice echoed throughout the mansion. When Zhang Yangzhou heard it, he immediately picked up his magic weapon and ran over.
Then he followed Zhang Yangchen and Zhang Yangfan all the way to Zhang Xiaojia's yard.
Zhang Xiaojia was concentrating on controlling the Samadhi True Fire with her spiritual power. When she saw her father walk in, she quickly asked, "Dad, how can we extinguish this Samadhi True Fire?"
Zhang Yangzhou quickly pulled out a True Water Talisman and tossed it into the air without hesitation. The Talisman transformed into a streak of blue light, which, upon meeting the Samadhi True Fire, extinguished the flames with a puff of light. However, the extinguishing of the flames released a large amount of vapor, soaking Zhang Xiaojia's entire body.
Seeing this, Zhang Yangchen quickly threw out another piece of talisman paper. The talisman paper emitted a warm breath, quickly drying Zhang Xiaojia's clothes and body.
Zhang Yangzhou looked at his daughter's embarrassed look and said with a smile: "My daughter, next time when you use the fire talisman, remember to do the experiment in the yard so that it will be easier to escape."
Zhang Xiaojia explained aggrievedly: "Dad, I just used my spiritual power to draw the Three Flavors True Fire Talisman in the air, but I didn't expect the Three Flavors True Fire to suddenly appear like this."
After hearing this, Zhang Yangchen couldn't help but reach out and knock on Zhang Xiaojia's head, scolding with a smile: "Jiajia, find a better excuse next time."
Zhang Xiaojia tried again to use his spiritual power to draw the Samadhi True Fire Talisman in the air. Sure enough, the flames instantly blazed.
Seeing this, Zhang Yangzhou immediately handed the True Water Talisman to Zhang Xiaojia and said, "My daughter, remember this True Water Talisman and try to draw it with your spiritual power."
Zhang Xiaojia was about to use her spiritual power to draw the True Water Talisman, but was interrupted by Zhang Yangfan: "Jiajia, let's try it in the yard! Otherwise, the whole house will get wet."
As she gently waved the pen, mysterious runes emerged in the air. These runes shimmered with a faint light, as if imbued with boundless power. Just then, a crackling sound suddenly echoed from the sky, followed by a gentle downpour. The rain quickly blanketed the entire courtyard, extinguishing the blazing Samadhi True Fire.
Zhang Xiaojia was soaked through, and she looked helplessly at her wet clothes and hair.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at her second uncle. She was soaked all over and asked him to give her a talisman to dry herself.
Zhang Yangchen smiled and threw out a piece of talisman paper, and instantly Zhang Xiaojia felt a warm air flow wrapped around her body. In the blink of an eye, her clothes and hair became dry and comfortable.
Zhang Yangchen smiled and said to Zhang Xiaojia, "My daughter, you should finish reading these books first, and then try to make talismans!" As he said that, he handed Zhang Xiaojia a dozen thick books.
Zhang Xiaojia took the book and looked down. He saw the words "Common Sense in the World of Immortal Cultivation" Volumes 1 to 10 written on the cover.
