Li Yan was a little suspicious of Bai Rou's change. He thought, "What happened to Senior Sister? I thought she was getting bolder than before, but why did she become so flustered and at a loss after I only praised her a few times?"
"No... no, then..." Bai Rou said a few words, but in the end she still couldn't make any clear explanation, which made Li Yan even more confused.
In a panic, Bai Rou suddenly seemed to remember something. She stretched out her white jade hand and patted her waist. Then she turned her face slightly, not daring to look at Li Yan directly, and gently pushed the thing in her hand into the air.
"Junior brother, these are the refining materials that Sun Guoshu found. In addition to a second-level Ice Cloud Feather, there are also several auxiliary materials listed on your list. They are all here."
After Li Yan stretched out his hand to take the flying storage bag, he used his spiritual sense to explore it briefly and found that as Bai Rou said, in addition to Bingyun Feather, there were four other auxiliary materials.
Li Yan's Bingyun Feather has reached a very high level, so he no longer needs this one, but he needs the other auxiliary materials here.
This Ice Cloud Feather will be used as a backup for the future. Seeing that Bai Rou seemed unwilling to talk more about her puppet, Li Yan certainly would not be so annoying, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Senior Sister, how many spirit stones are these materials worth?"
Hearing that Li Yan was no longer continuing the previous topic, Bai Rou turned her face slightly and raised her beautiful eyes to look at Li Yan.
"Junior brother, this outing should still cost a lot, we can talk about the spirit stones later."
After hearing this, Li Yan smiled slightly. He was not short of spirit stones now, so why would he care about these things? After thinking about it, he took out a storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and felt that it was okay. He pushed it gently, and the storage bag was in front of Bai Rou.
At the same time, he said with a smile, "Sister Bai, what are you talking about? I've already done you a favor by letting you pay for it. After such a long time, it's my fault. How can you still be lazy and shirk your responsibilities
There are about 50,000 spirit stones here, and with the auxiliary materials, it won’t be much different. I hope you won’t refuse it because it’s too little.”
Bai Rou didn't want to accept the call at first. She felt that it was not easy for Li Yan to come back after training alone outside, and he must be short of spirit stones.
But after hearing what Li Yan said, she was stunned, and thought that she had heard it wrong because she was shy.
Although Bai Rou's cultivation has greatly improved, her mind is as simple as ever. She has never thought of killing people and robbing, and she has never thought of any channels to obtain spirit stones other than trading.
She glanced up and saw Li Yan casually taking off one of the storage bags from his waist, not seeming to care at all, which scared Bai Rou.
You should know that the disciples from Sixiang Peak and Laojun Peak are the ones who can earn the most spirit stones in the Wangliang Sect. They can sell formations, mechanical puppets and elixirs.
But even so, Bai Rou herself could not earn more than 30,000 spirit stones in a year. After deducting the money she spent on buying pills and refining materials, there would be basically not much left.
What she paid for Li Yan was what she had saved over the years. Although it was not all of it, she had indeed used up half of it.
Bai Rou was stunned, and subconsciously reached out to take the storage bag. After a casual scan of the bag with her spiritual sense, Bai Rou's heart was shocked. The spirit stones in it were not 50,000 as Li Yan said, but 56,300 to be exact.
If she had counted the pieces one by one, Bai Rou could have thought that she had counted wrong, but a cultivator's spiritual sense would never make mistakes in such small matters.
She was surprised, and now she looked at Li Yan blankly, "This... this... so many spirit stones, Junior Brother, did you rob the golden elixir?"
She actually said this subconsciously.
After hearing this, Li Yan touched his nose embarrassedly. There really were spirit stones of Jindan cultivators here, so he coughed dryly.
"Well, I just got a few precious spiritual plants. After selling them in the market, I got some spiritual stones. It's not as exaggerated as what Senior Sister said."
Bai Rou looked at Li Yan with doubtful eyes after hearing this. "What kind of natural treasure can buy so many spiritual stones? Oh, by the way, Junior Brother, are you sure you won't pay it back later?"
Bai Rou felt that she had asked too many questions. Seeing how casual Li Yan was just now, he must have a lot of spirit stones on him. This involved Li Yan's privacy. She felt that she was too reckless and quickly changed the subject.
In fact, she really needed a lot of spirit stones. Refining puppets cost much more spirit stones than other cultivators. Ever since she paid for Li Yan's spirit stones, her daily expenses have been a bit stretched.
Although she saw that Li Yan didn't care, she still asked.
"I still have some here, of course it's enough, just take it, senior sister." Li Yan said with a smile.
"Didn't Sun Guoshu explain this to you just now? I only paid about 30,000 spirit stones in advance, so you can't take the rest."
Seeing that Li Yan was determined to give it to her, Bai Rou stopped refusing and spoke seriously.
"Oh, Senior Sister Bai, you misunderstood. If I have to go out for something, maybe Sun Guoshu will find out something. How can I let you pay for it every time? Just let me leave the rest with you first.
Of course, you can use these spirit stones as you like. Finding materials can be done in a day or two. Please don't refuse, or I won't be able to ask you for help next time."
Li Yan knew that Bai Rou would not take any extra spirit stones, so he found a reason.
Now that he is back, why does he need Bai Rou to pay for the spirit stones
Bai Rou didn't have as many thoughts as Li Yan. She thought about it and felt that it was true. She had paid Li Yan twice in advance for spirit stones. Sometimes Li Yan disappeared for at least several months. This time, he disappeared for more than two years. She also had to buy refining materials frequently. It was not good to ask Elder Chi Gong for help every time. Of course, what Li Yan said just now was right.
Bai Rou smiled sweetly and said, "Well, I'll take it first."
Li Yan smiled and said nothing.
Seeing Li Yan's nonchalant look, Bai Rou couldn't help but become curious. This was nearly 60,000 spirit stones. After thinking about it, under Li Yan's puzzled gaze, she hesitated and finally wanted to know something about Li Yan's trip.
So she mustered up her courage and said, "Junior brother, you know, I have never experienced anything. I wonder... I wonder, Junior brother, can you briefly talk about some experiences.
Oh, just tell me about your meeting with the master. Of course, if it involves my privacy, then forget it. I am just curious. "
Li Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. He knew that the girl was naive, but he didn't expect her mind to be so naive. Even if Bai Rou had the experience of traveling far away, she would not ask such a question. Isn't it obvious that it is wrong for others to say it, and it is also wrong not to say it.
Bai Rou was obviously too embarrassed to ask too much, fearing that Li Yan would get angry, so she simply brought up the reason regarding Shuang Qingqing's matter.
There are very few people in the world of immortal cultivation who would directly inquire about other people's privacy like Bai Rou, but this is definitely a taboo among cultivators.
Li Yan looked at Bai Rou, who started to feel uneasy again after she finished speaking, and immediately thought of her fourth sister at home. His mood was filled with ups and downs, and a faint sense of family affection was aroused.
Seeing that Li Yan didn't speak for a long time after she finished speaking, Bai Rou became even more uneasy and quickly stood up, "Junior brother, I was reckless just now. I... I'll take my leave now."
Li Yan was thinking about how his fourth sister Li Xiaozhu spoke to him without any scruples and innocence, when he suddenly saw Bai Rou standing up. He came to his senses and quickly gestured to Bai Rou to sit down with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Senior Sister, you misunderstood. Just now, Senior Sister mentioned the training. I was just wondering where to start. After all, the training time is two years. You can't say two years, right?"
Bai Rou, who originally thought that she was too reckless, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Li Yan say that it would take two years. Her smile made her, who was already extremely beautiful, lose her charm for a moment.
But Bai Rou soon realized that she was inappropriate, and quickly pursed her lips, reached out to smooth a few strands of hair by her ears, and inadvertently covered half of her hot cheek with her hand, then sat down again.
Next, Li Yan picked and chose some things to say and told them to Bai Rou.
Bai Rou was a very smart person. After listening for half an incense stick of time, all she heard were Li Yan's experiences of the beautiful mountains and rivers and interesting stories about people. Whenever it came to Li Yan himself, this junior brother would just pass it by vaguely.
Bai Rou was very smart. She actually sensed something unusual in Li Yan's plain words, but she did not ask any questions or point them out. She was able to broaden her horizons in terms of local customs and practices.
However, Li Yan still recounted his encounter with Shuang Qingqing in fairly detail. It seemed that Shuang Qingqing had also told Bai Rou a lot about this. Moreover, both he and Bai Rou knew the secret of the Qianluo Ancient Ape, so there was nothing else that needed to be hidden.
Bai Rou just listened quietly. In fact, in her mind she had already begun to compare what Li Yan had said about the danger of the Feisha Ancient Cave with what Shuang Qingqing had said. Through this, she had guessed that the experiences Li Yan had mentioned before were not really that ordinary.
The ancestor Shuang Qingqing described the matter of Feisha Ancient Cave in much more detail than Li Yan. Just the attack of the golden giant in the ancient cave alone could be withstand by a Jindan cultivator.
What Li Yan said was that he just escaped by luck and happened to meet the ancestor.
The ancestor said that the depth that Li Yan reached had reached the location of the golden giant in the late Jindan stage. This means that Li Yan avoided the second attack of the golden giant. No matter what method he used, it was definitely not achieved by luck or fluke.
Li Yan attributed everything to good luck, which shows that Li Yan was deliberately hiding the secret.
Bai Rou knew that what Li Yan said was half true and half false, but she still listened attentively. She supported her chin with her hand, listened quietly, and did not interrupt, but only occasionally showed a pretty smile.
Li Yan felt relieved when he saw this. Telling lies was a very tiring thing. Although he did not deliberately deceive Bai Rou, he had too many secrets and could not reveal even a little bit. Otherwise, many things would be like a kite string, and more and more would be revealed.
After a short while, Li Yan felt that he had nothing more to say, so he smiled and stopped talking. However, he had no idea that he had actually exposed many problems in the matter of Feisha Ancient Cave.
Bai Rou nodded slightly and chuckled, "Junior brother was able to return this time, Hua Siwang was of great help."
Li Yan also laughed when he heard this, then he thought of something and asked.
"I just asked Sun Guoshu, but he was only transferred here by you not long ago, and he still doesn't know many things about Fengliang Mountain. So what is the situation here now? What tasks do we have to do on a daily basis?"
Li Yan was very concerned about this, but Wei Chongran had other things to do before he could ask. Since Li Yan had to stay here, he had to know the situation well so that he could respond accordingly.
Seeing that Li Yan had changed the subject, Bai Rou did not say any more about his experience and gave a rare sly smile in her heart.
But after thinking seriously about the question raised by Li Yan, he answered, "Fengliang Mountain is about ten thousand miles away from the demon army. The demon army now has about 20,000 to 30,000 people..."
"An army of two to three thousand? Didn't Master say that there were only about ten thousand?" Li Yan was shocked after hearing this. How come the demon army's strength increased several times
