Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

Before Qin Zhen could think about it carefully, the elder regretfully announced that she was unqualified.

The little girl who was traveling with Qin Zhen was puzzled: "Isn't having dual spiritual roots very powerful?"

"Dual spiritual roots are very powerful, but water and fire are incompatible. In a sense, this kind of spiritual root is more difficult to cultivate than five spiritual roots."

The little girl didn't understand, so she just confirmed: "Then doesn't that mean her spiritual roots are useless?"

The Tianyan Sect elder sighed and looked at Qin Zhen with pity: "Yes."

For a moment, Qin Zhen received countless sympathetic glances, and of course there were also those who gloated over her misfortune. Even the little girl who was just on good terms with Qin Zhen no longer looked at Qin Zhen, but turned her head away, as if it was a shameful thing to know Qin Zhen, a "waste".

Qin Zhen didn't care about other people's opinions, and even thought it was a good thing. She didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the male and female protagonists anymore.

So she nodded to the elder of Tianyan Sect neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then she left the place where Tianyan Sect was recruiting disciples.

When Qin Zhen was about to return to the inn at the foot of the mountain, an old man with a somewhat annoyed look suddenly waved at her: "Little girl, can you do me a favor?"

"Me?" Qin Zhen pointed at herself.

"Yes, it's you." The old man nodded.

Qin Zhen recalled carefully and confirmed that she did not know the old man in front of her.

As the eldest senior sister of Tianyan Sect, she had met almost all the leaders and elders of all the sects, but none of them looked like him, wearing a gray blue cloth robe, with a messy beard and a emerald green bamboo basket on his back, like a farmer going to the city to sell vegetables.

But Qin Zhen was not so naive as to think that the person in front of her was just an ordinary person. After all, although she had no cultivation now, her experience and intuition were still sharp. She could feel that the person in front of her had a profound cultivation, but it seemed that he had encountered some bottleneck.

"How can I help you?"

"How about lending me some spirit stones to spend?"

Qin Zhen always felt that these words sounded like the catchphrase of those hooligans who collected protection fees, but she still took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the old man.

"You just gave it to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"

"If you want spirit stones, it might be faster to just rob them."

"Hahaha, interesting girl. Are you afraid of me, so you have to give it to me?" the old man asked curiously.

"Oh, no, I'm just hungry and want to buy some food from you." Qin Zhenke saw that the old man was carrying a lot of fruits and vegetables in the basket.

"Gu——" As if to confirm her words, Qin Zhen's stomach growled again, making the old man laugh and attracting many people to look over.

After seeing that it was the loser Qin Zhen and the shabby old man, they all showed disdainful looks:

"I remember that girl named Qin Zhen. She seems to be the fiancée of Mingzhe, who was selected into the inner sect of Tianyan Sect because of his natural spiritual roots. Why is she with a dirty old man? Isn't it dirty?"

"Oh, what's the big deal? Birds of a feather flock together."

"Let's go tell Senior Brother Mingzhe, how can this kind of waste with dual spiritual roots of water and fire be worthy of him?"

"Yes."

Qin Zhen didn't know that she was being talked about again, but the old man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard it.

"Okay, I can sell you something." The old man reached into the basket, took out two fruits covered in dirt and threw them to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen didn't mind the dirtiness and took it. Seeing this, many disciples from wealthy families shook their heads and moved away from Qin Zhen and the others in disgust.

It was not until Qin Zhen washed away the dirt with water, revealing the white flesh inside, that some people who knew the goods suddenly saw the light: "It's white yam!"

"What is white yam?" someone asked in confusion.

But no one answered his question. Instead, they all ran towards the old man and said anxiously:

"Old man, do you still have white yam? I'm willing to buy it at the same price. I'll buy as much as you have."

"Don't take advantage of me, old man. I am willing to exchange a medium-grade spirit stone for the remaining yam."

The old man snorted when he heard this: "No, my stuff is very dirty, I dare not sell this filthy stuff to you gentlemen."

Qin Zhen reacted the fastest. While the old man was surrounded, she rushed directly to the gate of the Wenxiantai and sat down close to the feet of the immortal who was guarding the gate.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Lord couldn't help but look at her with confusion in his eyes.

Qin Zhen smiled brightly: "The Immortal King will not allow anyone to cause trouble in front of the Immortal Platform, right?"

Although this question was addressed to the Immortal Lord, it was intentionally meant for certain people with ulterior motives to hear.

"Tsk." Sure enough, a few people who wanted to snatch things from Qin Zhen glared at Qin Zhen hatefully after seeing this and then left.

Someone still refused to give up: "Girl, can you sell me what you have? I'll pay ten times the price."

Qin Zhen was a little surprised when she heard this: "Do I look like someone who is short of money?"

The man was stunned when he heard that, then he realized that ordinary mortals who failed in the recruitment could not produce any spirit stones.

No, that's not right. Even for the new disciples who joined the sect, many of them only had ordinary coins before the sect issued their first monthly allowance, and it was impossible for them to have spirit stones to spend. However, Qin Zhen threw out a spirit stone to buy food without thinking. Obviously, even if she did not join the sect, she must have been born in a family of immortal cultivators, so she would not be short of money.

After realizing this, the person can only give up and leave.

Qin Zhen didn't care what others thought of her, and bought some things from some people at high prices, such as alchemy furnaces, daggers, flints, firewood, oil, sugar, and even a sweet and sour red-skinned fruit.

Unfortunately, the most important seasoning, salt, was not received.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Qin Zhen putting the firewood under the stove and burning it, the old man who had gotten rid of those annoying little ghosts came over and asked curiously.

"Cook."

“Cooking with white yam?” the old man gasped.

"Ah."

"You don't know what this thing is for?"

"Yes, it is used to refine the middle-grade Peiyuan Pill."

"So you just ate it like that? You should know that a mid-grade Peiyuan Pill can not only remove impurities from the body, but also help people draw spiritual energy into the body for cultivation, and it won't even leave any pill poison."

"I know, so what?"

Qin Zhen asked honestly, but the old man was about to vomit blood.

This is a complete waste of resources!

Seeing that the old man stopped talking, Qin Zhen began to process the ingredients in her hands. In her eyes, white yam was no different from potatoes. It would be a shame not to make candied potatoes and French fries.

In her previous life, her memory was sealed. Influenced by the plot, she had always been a diligent senior sister. All she did all day was practice, without any entertainment or appetite. She was in a dilemma every day, but ended up like that. In this life, of course, she had to do whatever made her feel comfortable.

Qin Zhen cut one white yam into strips and another into cubes, fried them in the oven and then took them out. She then used sugar and sour fruit to make a substitute for tomato sauce, and used the remaining oil and sugar to coat the candied potatoes.

Qin Zhen ate the French fries while they were still hot. The French fries were the best when they were fresh out of the pan. They were crispy, soft and fragrant on the inside, and dipped in ketchup, they were so satisfying.

The old man who just thought Qin Zhen was squandering food couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"

Qin Zhen directly handed the French fries over. The old man picked up one doubtfully and took a bite by dipping it in sauce, imitating Qin Zhen. After just one bite, he was stunned and stood there in a daze.

Everyone thought that the old man was just daydreaming, except for the guard who raised his eyebrows.

He knew that the old man was in a state of meditation.

Can you feel a state of meditation just by eating? Is it really that delicious?

The guard took a deep breath, sniffed it, and then froze as well.

Qin Zhen didn't care and just ate her fries. She was really hungry.

But some people just want to turn people off at this time.

"Qin Zhen, what are you doing?" A familiar voice sounded behind her. Qin Zhen turned around and saw a disgusting face.

It is wise.

At this moment, Mingzhe's face was full of disgust, as if he was looking at some shameful garbage.

"I heard that you have a useless spiritual root?"

"Yeah, so what?" Qin Zhen admitted frankly.

"As a mortal, my life span is only a few decades, but I have already embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, and my life span will be as long as the heavens. I think the engagement between us should be annulled."
