Chapter 216: For the sake of cultivation, do we really not need to care about anything?
That night.
Xiao Mo was sitting in the courtyard of the Maple Leaf City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Mo did not practice, but calmly looked at the night sky of the city.
Xiao Mo's eyes became deeper as he looked at the night sky, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Fifth brother."
Qian Zhenhao's voice was heard in the quiet courtyard.
"Fourth brother."
Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and looked at his fourth brother.
"Fifth brother, what are you doing?" Qian Zhenhao smiled and sat next to Xiao Mo.
"Nothing, just thinking about something." Xiao Mo shook his head, "Fourth brother came to see me, is there something wrong?"
"Hahaha, why can't I come to you, my fifth brother, to reminisce about the past?" Qian Zhenhao said with a smile.
Xiao Mo didn't answer, but just took a sip of the tea beside him.
"However." Qian Zhenhao's eyes turned, "Fifth brother, your guess is correct. I do have something I want to tell you."
"Fourth brother, just say it directly."
"This is a great thing. Here, this thing is for you, Fifth Brother."
Qian Zhenhao took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve.
"This pill is called the Blood-Refining Pill. After taking it, you can improve your blood and eliminate impurities. It is extremely beneficial to your body. Fifth brother, take one pill every day. After four days, Senior Sister will give you a test. If you pass the test, you can join the Wangchuan Sect."
Xiao Mo took the pill, opened the glass bottle and looked at it carefully.
Xiao Mo, who knew a little about alchemy, quickly realized that this blood-refining pill was not a normal thing.
Fourth brother is right. This elixir can indeed improve the blood and qi in the body and eliminate certain impurities.
But this pill is also the precursor to the furnace method.
At that time, a female disciple from Wanhua Peak also tricked me into taking a similar pill, but I saw through her trick.
If you take the Blood Refining Pill yourself, then after four days, others will come to nourish you, and with this pill, you can achieve a better effect.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Xiao Mo put the cork in the bottle and took the pills as if he hadn't noticed anything.
"You're welcome." Qian Zhenhao patted Xiao Mo's shoulder. "You and I are brothers, there's no need to talk about gratitude."
When Qian Zhenhao said this, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
The so-called furnace and cauldron, the so-called collecting and replenishing, this is not the Taoist method of dual cultivation.
The dual cultivation method is beneficial to both people.
To harmonize and complement the yin and yang of both parties.
The method of dual cultivation can also lead to enlightenment.
But the dual cultivation method is relatively slow after all.
So the senior sister planned to absorb Xiao Mo's energy directly and use Xiao Mo as a cauldron.
When Xiao Mo's essence was taken away, his foundation would be damaged, his path in life would basically come to a standstill, and even his realm would drop.
After several more times of nourishment, Xiao Mo's essence and blood will be sucked out, and he will eventually turn into a dried corpse.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother, it's not that fourth brother wants to harm you, but it's Senior Sister's order. Fourth brother really can't disobey, and he has no choice but to do it. But fifth brother, don't worry, after you die, fourth brother will carry your share and move on."
After comforting himself, Qian Zhenhao felt much better.
"Fifth brother, I may be very busy these days and cannot come to visit you. Please forgive me." Qian Zhenhao said to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo nodded: "It's okay, Fourth Brother, you are busy, don't worry about me."
"Okay, then Fifth Brother, you should have a good rest. If you have anything, just ask the maid to come to me. Fourth Brother, I won't bother you for now."
Qian Zhenhao patted his thigh and stood up.
"I'll see Fourth Brother off." Xiao Mo stood up and saw him off.
Xiao Mo and Qian Zhenhao walked in the City Lord's Mansion. The chirping of birds and insects in the courtyard blended with the moonlight, and the clear pool water rippled with soft waves.
"Fourth brother." Xiao Mo looked at the bright moonlight and called out.
"Hmm?" Qian Zhenhao looked at Xiao Mo in confusion.
"Nothing, just reminded me of my childhood."
“When I was a kid.”
Qian Zhenhao gathered his sleeves.
“Life was not easy for us when we were young.
None of his clothes were intact. He went up the mountain to collect herbs and hunt every day to see if he could sell them for a good price.
We were so hungry that we went to steal buns and money.
I worry about food all day long.
Every day I think about how to survive until tomorrow."
"Yes, that's true." Xiao Mo nodded and took a deep breath. "But Fourth Brother, do you still remember what our eldest brother said to us when we were little?"
"What did Big Brother say?" Qian Zhenhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Big Brother said a lot."
"Big brother is a bit long-winded and does say a lot, but I still remember what he always emphasized."
A flash of reminiscence flashed across Xiao Mo's eyes.
“No matter how poor, miserable, or hungry we were at the time, my eldest brother always told us not to steal from the poor or take their food.
Because we are poor, and poor people should sympathize with poor people. Everyone has a hard life.
So at that time, we stole things from wealthy families.”
"Hahaha, now that you mention it, I remember." Qian Zhenhao nodded, looking as if he missed me a little. "Brother always has some inexplicable principles."
"Although it's inexplicable, Big Brother did what he said."
Xiao Mo looked at the stars in the sky.
"At that time, although we were poor, we were ambitious and always dreamed of becoming rich and marrying many wives.
Although we were hungry, whenever we had something to eat, even steamed buns made of bran tasted like delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
Even if it's just a piece of bread, the five of us brothers will share it."
"Not now."
Qian Zhenhao patted Xiao Mo on the back.
"Now, Fourth Brother, I not only have money, but also everything I want. I no longer need to share a piece of cake. Fifth Brother, do you see the jade on the edge of the steps?
Just one dollar would be enough to earn more than an ordinary person could earn in their entire life!"
"Yes, Fourth Brother is indeed rich, but Fourth Brother, is money really everything? For the sake of cultivation, do we really not need to care about anything else?"
Xiao Mo stopped and looked directly into Qian Zhenhao's eyes.
Qian Zhenhao was stunned for a moment: "Why did Fifth Brother say this?"
"Nothing." Xiao Mo shook his head, "I just had a sudden feeling."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Mo held the knife and bowed to his fourth brother: "Fourth brother, I won't see you off on the road ahead."
"It's okay, Fifth Brother, go back and have a good rest. Fourth Brother will take his leave."
Qian Zhenhao bowed in return.
"Goodbye, Fourth Brother." Xiao Mo straightened up.
"Um."
Qian Zhenhao nodded and walked towards the villa.
Xiao Mo also turned around and left. The two walked back to back, getting farther and farther away.
