Chapter 41

Shen Ruiling picked a wing room in the East and said to them:

"Uncle nine, Zhou Daoyou, I went first."

"Well, have a rest. I've been on my way all day." With that, Shen Huanming also picked a room and went in. Zhou Qiao arched at them and chose a room next to Shen Huanming.

Shen Ruiling enters the room. The room is divided into two areas. One is a place for guests, with a table and several chairs. The one inside is a place for practicing meditation. There is a PU mat on a bed. There is also a censer next to it, in which there are bursts of calming fragrance.

Sitting on the Pu mat, Shen Ruiling began to practice by running "Qingyun Jue", but the spiritual pulse here was a second-class middle-class product, which could not meet Shen Ruiling's cultivation needs. He took out two spiritual stones from the jade storage box, held one in one hand, and operated the skill to absorb the spiritual power in the spiritual stone.

With Shen Ruiling spitting out his turbid Qi, the two spirit stones in his hand turned into powder and scattered. After almost an hour of meditation and rest, the consumption along the way recovered.

A respectful voice sounded at the door,

"Elder, my master has set up a banquet in the lobby to welcome the elder."

"OK, I see. I'll come right away." Shen Ruiling replied and stood up at the same time.

Shen Ruiling opens the door and sees Zhou Qiao coming out. Zhou Qiao laughs:

"Shen Xiaoyou together."

"Where's my ninth uncle?" Shen Ruiling wondered why Shen Huanming didn't come out.

"Shen Daoyou has been invited by the guard. Let's go quickly." Then he walked towards the lobby.

The corridor twists and turns, passing through exquisite and gorgeous buildings. Along the way, there are some family servants saluting and saying hello. These mortals have been here for a long time, so they are not so curious about the immortals.

Shen Ruiling ignored them and walked proudly to the lobby with Zhou Qiao. It took about half a column of incense to walk in front of a building.

Shen Ruiling could not help muttering:

"This mansion is really big. It's like a rich family."

In front of the building, there was a middle-aged man with a gentle look who was dressed up as a scholar at the beginning of Qi training.

Seeing Shen Ruiling, he immediately greeted them with a smile and bowed his hands:

"Please come inside, my father is waiting for you." The other party is not only enthusiastic, but also poses very low.

Shen Ruiling followed the middle-aged man into the lobby. What they saw was a hall with carved beams and painted buildings. There was also a picture of the lake on the wall. The sunrise in the East was quite poetic. In the hall, several wooden tables have been arranged, which are also carved of sandalwood. Shen Huanming and Shen Huantong are already sitting on the main table.

Seeing the arrival of Shen Ruiling, Shen Huantong got up and welcomed them:

"Two Taoist friends, please sit down."

Shen Ruiling looked at it and there were only three of them and Shen Huantong on the table. All three of them are friars in the later stage of Qi practice. They came down from Yunbi peak. Shen Huantong with the title of guard can sit with them.

Shen Huantong raised his glass and said to Shen Ruiling:

"Thank you for coming."

"Although you and I don't know each other well, they are also the children of the same generation in the family. Don't be polite if you guard as one side." Shen Huantong said.

After a while of greeting,

Shen Huantong pointed to Shen Ruiling and said:

"I've been away from the mountain for many years. I don't know whose child this little friend is. It's a blessing for me to have such cultivation at such a young age."

"He is the grandson of the second brother's family."

"It's really a dragon and Phoenix among people."

"You're welcome." Shen Ruiling modestly evaded.

……

With the dishes served, Shen Ruiling found that most of them were Lake fresh, and the products in the water accounted for the majority, which looked like they depended on water.

Shen Huantong pointed to several dishes and said:

"These are three unique dishes in Binhu Town, Zhenze Sanbao."

"Zhenze Sanbao?" I was stunned at first, and then I thought of what I saw in the family Sutra Pavilion.

Zhenze Lake in Linhai county produces famous food. It is named after ice fish, crystal shrimp and lingbeng in the form of fresh lake. Therefore, it is called Zhenze three treasures. This theory is established by convention and has a long history, which is recorded in many books.

One treasure is ice fish, more than two inches long, slightly round in length, shaped like a jade hairpin, like boneless and intestines, tender and transparent, and silver in color. It is named for its transparent, crystal white body.

The fish meat is delicate and rich in aura. An ice fish can be compared with refining a spiritual stone. It is even the best for water practitioners. Because its water spiritual power is very essence, it is deeply loved by water friars.

The two treasures are crystal shrimp with whiskers on the head, claws on the chest, prominent eyes and fan-shaped tail. Most of them grow in the open shoals with lush water and grass and calm waves. The shell of crystal shrimp is thin. When it is born, it is transparent and crystal like jade, with slight brown markings. The sweet food has an unexpected effect on the body refining friars.

Sanbao is the spirit clam, which is a big clam living in Zhenze lake. After years of precipitation, clam beads will be produced in the body. Although this clam meat also has the effect of tonifying spiritual power for friars. But the Pearl bred by the spirit clam is the real treasure.

The average friar can't just see his age from his face. The Qi practicing friar can look 20 years younger than his actual age before he is 60, and he will grow old slowly after he is 60.

Once a monk builds a foundation, his longevity will double. He may be an old monk during the Qi training period. At the foundation building period, his longevity will only be middle-aged, and his appearance will become middle-aged.

Take Shen huanchi for example. He has been practicing Taoism for about a hundred years, and his longevity is only half, so he looks like a middle-aged man. However, some 80-90 year-old people in the Qi training period have become very old.

The biggest effect of bengzhu is that it can delay the aging of monks. Although longevity won't increase, it can make people look much younger. It already has the effect of staying in YAN Dan.

Therefore, this kind of clam bead is very popular among female practitioners in the Qi training period. Even some female practitioners in the foundation period can't be free from vulgarity. I'm afraid only the golden pill friar will treat this skin bag as nothing at a certain level.

The benefits brought by the Zhenze three treasures are great, so most of the benefits of these things are occupied by Qingyun gate. They have a special fishing ground on the other side of the South Lake to raise these aquatic products and bring wealth to zongmen.

The Shen family can drink a mouthful of soup because of their geographical advantage, but they can also earn hundreds of spiritual stones every year.

……

"Come on, this ice fish is fresh. I sent someone to catch it just now. You know, the fish will die in an hour when it comes out of the water, and the effect will be much worse. " Shen Huantong proudly introduced.

"It's time to go down the lake. Taoist friends have a heart." Zhou Qiao said with a smile and put a piece in his bowl at the same time.

Shen Ruiling held a piece of fish and immediately turned it into a wisp of spiritual power. He drilled into his abdomen and refined the operation skill. Shen Ruiling felt that his spiritual power had increased a little. He was surprised.

"It is worthy of being praised as a treasure of Zhenze." Shen Ruiling Guang didn't feel anything when he heard from the book. Now he really feels its benefits after tasting it.

You should know that although the Shen family can catch some ice fish by Zhenze lake, these fish often die halfway without being transported by foundation friars or third-order flying monsters.

Therefore, the family usually salvaged it and sold it to the Qingyun sect friar of Nanhu in exchange for the spirit stone. There is no happiness on Yunbi peak.

"This spirit clam was sent by Lu's family in Yangshan. Although there are no clam beads, the meat is also a good spirit food." Shen Huantong also introduced.

"Yangshan Lu family?" Shen Ruiling looked puzzled.

"An affiliated family practicing Qi is also near Zhenze lake, about 500 miles away from here. You don't know until you manage family affairs. " Shen Huanming explained after seeing it.

Although Shen Ruiling likes reading books in the Sutra Pavilion, his family is really not as old as some of the people in charge.

"They should also be affected by the flood, but their mountain gate is there. There are two people in the family who practice Qi and are much better than us." Shen Huanming thought for a moment and said.

……

Next, several people on the table began to discuss the deployment of Binhu town.

"I have ordered people to block the river, and crossbow carts are installed on the city walls. However, these mortal weapons can only be used for some first-order monsters, and there is no use above the second-order." Shen Huantong said.

"It's good that mortals can help us solve some first-order monsters. We friars can solve the second-order monsters. This time, we also brought four cloud piercing crossbows from Yunbi peak, equipped with the Dharma array here. As long as there is no third-order monster, we can hold it. " Shen Huanming also commented.

"The third-order monster is impossible. I have been guarding here for 20 years. There are floods every year. I haven't seen the third-order monster once." Shen Huantong smiled.

……

"Go back and have a good rest, keep energetic, and let mortals reinforce their fortifications and be ready to fight back at any time." Shen Huanming ordered.

Shen Huanming not only has the cultivation of practicing Qi on the ninth floor, but also the elders of the family, the people brought down from Yunbifeng and the people in Binhu town follow his lead.

After the party, they all returned to their homes and got ready.
