Seal Cultivation for Self-Improvement

Chapter 17: The legendary Zhang winter melon

Views:

Because of the quarrel with the Qingtou gang, Yu Qiu moved out with the old man and Xiao Chunmian the next day, and found another vacant house to live in. The old man didn't know what happened, because he got along well with Zhao Tuo some time ago, and he was a little bit reluctant, and he would sigh twice about what a pity.

As for Xiao Chunmian, he had no opinion at all, he followed Yu Qiu wherever he moved.

Then after two or three days, Xiao Chunmian's injuries healed, and he began to make gestures in the open space outside the house with a branch every day. Well, because the sword was broken, he could only use the branch to dance the sword, and it took several hours to make gestures, and he was sweating profusely without dancing.

Just like now, Xiao Chunmian is dancing a branch outside with great power.

Yu Qiu was absently drawing talismans in his room.

The large package of materials I bought earlier allowed Yu Qiu to research about seven or eight new ways of drawing symbols using simplified materials in these few days. Now that there are very few materials left, Yu Qiu suspended the research, but began to draw repeatedly, trying his best to turn the research results into economic benefits.

Perhaps because this kind of repetitive work is too simple, Yu Qiu can't make mistakes with his eyes closed, so his mind drifted out of the window.

Xiao Chunmian had just finished dancing a set of sword techniques, she was out of breath from exhaustion, but she didn't stop. He seemed to feel that one part of the sword move just now was not coherent, so he frowned, continued to hold the branch, and used that move again and again, trying his best every time. Sweat trickled down his cheeks to the ground, but it didn't make Xiao Chunmian hesitate a bit more.

Sword dancing and Qi refining are the only things Xiao Chunmian has done in the past few days.

Is it just because he said that he wanted to become stronger that day? Just because he thinks that as long as he is strong enough, he can save everyone and protect everyone? What a hopeless Madonna.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiu just felt suffocated.

He felt that this girl was trying to be brave... Yes, he still thought that Xiao Chunmian was a girl.

Yu Qiu slandered and Xiao Chunmian was in a trance, and finished drawing a talisman with his eyes closed, but the tip of the pen was still hovering over the talisman paper. Then there were only two clicks, and the body of the pen exploded suddenly, and the ink splashed everywhere, splashing the talisman that hadn't been removed in time.

[You are too absent-minded]

The system sent a congratulatory message.

Yu Qiu stared blankly at the messy talisman face for a while, and suddenly felt a sense of anger in his heart, and slammed the stub of the pen that was only half in his hand on the table.

Outside the window, Xiao Chunmian had also stopped, she didn't know what bottleneck she had encountered, she was frowning and thinking hard. A moment later, Xiao Chunmian's brows suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, and the branches in his hands danced again, repeating the set of sword techniques that had been repeated countless times.

Yu Qiu couldn't help but pushed open the door and walked out, leaning against the door frame, looking at Xiao Chunmian.

Looking at it, the unknown fire in my heart was eliminated a lot, but a different kind of unhappiness rose again.

Yu Qiu knew what he was upset about. In addition to Xiao Chunmian saying that one day he will save and protect everyone, he also said that one day he will be able to stand in front of Yu Qiu. It was this sentence that made Yu Qiu feel uncomfortable no matter what he thought.

This displeasure was not aimed at Xiao Chunmian himself.

It's just that there was a person who once said similar nonsense to Qiu.

What is the original story? "Don't worry about doing what you like, don't be afraid of danger, because I will always stand in front of you."

The person who said so in the previous life was naturally Xu Hong.

Thinking about it now, Yu Qiu almost laughed three times, it's ridiculous that he still felt moved back then. Facts have proved that what stands in front of you is all bullshit. In life, the only thing you can count on is yourself.

What made Yu Qiu even more upset was that Xiao Chunmian was as good at sword dancing as Xu Hong.

After leaning against the door frame for such a long time, Xiao Chunmian finally found Yu Qiu, then stopped his sword moves, swung his sword flower, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Xiao Qiu."

Yu Qiu nodded, calmed down, and asked him, "Do you want to be a swordsman?"

"Sword repair?" Xiao Chunmian was obviously still at a loss for this concept.

"On the road of cultivation, everyone has a different way of walking, and then realizes his own way on the road he chooses." Yu Qiu thought about how to explain, "Entering the way with the sword is to cultivate the sword."

"Enter Taoism with a sword?" Xiao Chunmian narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Sounds pretty good."

Although he gave an ambiguous answer, the gleam in his eyes in this smile was enough to make Yu Qiu sigh: It seems that he is probably another swordsman.

Jianxiu, Jianxiu, after living for two lives, he can't get along with Du Jianxiu, Yu Qiu is also helpless.

But Yu Qiu still knew that the reason why he was upset now was because he remembered Xu Hong. Xu Hong is a hypocrite and a villain, but Xiao Chunmian is completely different. The displeasure towards Xu Hong should not be reflected on Xiao Chunmian at all.

Xiao Chunmian was single-handedly led to the path of self-cultivation. Thinking about it this way, Yu Qiu was a little proud.

"After embarking on the road of self-cultivation, in fact, the sword skills in the world are useless." Yu Qiu said, "If you really want to use the sword to enter the Tao, you should find some sword formulas in the Qi refining period."

"I think this is also the reason." Xiao Chunmian sighed, "But I went to the north yesterday to look around, and I couldn't find a suitable one. I can only practice what I have learned before. It is better than nothing."

Yu Qiu frowned: he didn't think about it himself. After all, Fangshanji is just a gathering place for low-level casual cultivators. Even if there are sword formulas, they will definitely not be very good. What's more, even if something like sword art is bad, it can't be landed without dozens of low-grade spirit stones. Xiao Chunmian really can't afford it now, even with the money returned by Gu Qing.

No matter how rich a person is in the world, if he puts himself on the road of self-cultivation, he will be a scumbag.

"Then we can only do this for the time being." In desperation, Yu Qiu had no choice but to say, "Practice first, and I will help you pay more attention. Once you come across a suitable sword formula, I will help you win it no matter what."

Xiao Chunmian was not polite when he heard the words, and expressed his gratitude cheerfully.

After finishing speaking, Yu Qiu went back to the room to tidy up, then stuffed the achievements of these days into his pocket and went out.

As soon as he arrived at the market in the north, Yu Qiu saw the legendary Zhang Donggua from a distance, watching the market there. If you want to set up a stall here, you have to pay him the venue fee first, a low-grade spirit stone for an hour.

Yu Qiu doesn't even have half a low-grade spirit stone now, so he can only wander around to see if anyone has bought the talisman. In the end, it turned out that Zhang Donggua's subordinates really gave the highest price. But even the highest price was actually lower than the market price. Originally, one fire talisman could sell three low-grade spirit stones, but they were only willing to give two and a half.

Yu Qiu sighed, took out the pile of talismans in his pocket, counted out ten fire talismans, and handed them over.

He thought that he would get twenty-five low-grade spirit stones soon, so he could buy Xiao Chunmian a sword formula that should be used by a monk. However, the few people in front of them held these ten talismans in their hands, looked at them, and then summoned Zhang Donggua, looked at them, and then summoned an old man with a white beard, and continued to look at them... Finally, Bai The bearded old man slapped the talisman on the table, blew on his beard and stared, "Where did the bastard come from, he dared to use fake talismans to cheat money, I don't want to die!"

Yu Qiu laughed angrily.

These fire talismans, indeed, because of the new painting method, the lines are quite different from the general fire talismans. If Gao Conghan was present, he must be able to see that this is the talisman that he almost regarded as a hot talisman that day. The material used in the new painting method is inferior to the original one, and the texture is naturally more complicated than the original one, so it looks closer to a higher-level fire talisman, but in fact it is just a fake fire talisman.

Gao Conghan was far away that day, and he couldn't tell the difference at once, which was normal. Right now, the old man with white beard has looked over and over for so many times, but he still can't recognize it as a fire talisman, which is really ridiculous.

As soon as the old man with the white beard said the words, Zhang Donggua and his subordinates immediately raised their swords and clamored to break Yu Qiu's dog legs.

"Wait." Yu Qiu felt depressed, and he waved his hands unwilling to say more, "Don't be impulsive, let's try another one with a good level."

As a result, this sentence stabbed a hornet's nest. The white-bearded old man screamed angrily, and jumped up and down to express that he had never been humiliated so much in his life. He threatened to return to his hometown to farm, and asked Zhang Donggua to hire Gao Ming.

When Zhang Donggua heard this, it's okay? This old man is a talisman master that he paid a lot of money for! He hurriedly coaxed him thousands of times, and even added a monthly payment to him, only then did he finally calm him down. Looking back at Yu Qiu, Zhang Donggua gritted his teeth even more, and immediately picked up the spear in his hand.

Without batting an eye, Yu Qiu asked with a sneer, "Do you think the fire talisman I'm selling is fake?"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Donggua did it himself, and the tip of the spear was about to poke Yu Qiu's nose.

Yu Qiu covered his hands with his cuffs, and patted a light body talisman on his leg, Shi Shiran avoided it, and grabbed the ten fire talismans thrown on the table by them again, "If it is What should I do?"

Before Zhang Donggua could answer, the white-bearded old man had already jumped on his feet and said, "If it's true, we will compensate you ten times!"

"With your words, I feel relieved." Yu Qiu tilted his head and smiled slightly.

Before he finished speaking, he took out one of them very lightly and quickly, and suddenly shot it out, and suddenly a flame rushed out, burning Zhang Donggua's face.

Zhang Donggua was stunned by the burning, and didn't react until the smell of burnt hair wafted into his nose, and at this time the second flame had already attacked.

Yu Qiu casually threw the second used fire talisman on the ground, and picked up the third one, "Ten times the compensation, now it's fifty low-grade spirit stones."

With a flick of the wrist, the third flame rushed out instantly, Yu Qiu smiled slightly, "Seventy-five."

If it was normal, Yu Qiu taught the other party a lesson and let the other party know how powerful they are, and they would stop. As for now... It's just that this winter melon was unlucky today, and it happened to meet Yu Qiu's very unhappy moment.
