Yu Qiu really didn't expect that the words were pressed in his heart for more than two months.
In the past two months, except for the fixed two-hour qi refining time every night, he had only seen Xiao Chunmian three times.
The first time I saw it was on the tenth day after returning from Fang Beishan, Xiao Chunmian took the pen that was finally forged, and sent it to Yu Qiu in a hurry. As a result, Yu Qiu just thanked him and returned it Before he had time to say a few more words, he ran away in a hurry.
Yu Qiu was astonished to find that in just ten days, Xiao Chunmian's cultivation had risen a lot, and there was a faint tendency to complete the fourth level of Qi refining.
Yu Qiu took the newly received pen and tried to draw a few talismans, and it was indeed much smoother than ordinary pens. What's more, when he thinks that he can completely get rid of the tedious steps of drawing a talisman and throwing a pen from now on, Yu Qiu feels that his waist is no longer sore, his hands are no longer painful, and even the efficiency of drawing talismans is higher than before. Shua Shua Shua Shua painted for several hours in one breath, and insisted on consuming all the newly bought materials.
After reaching the middle stage, he can start drawing new talismans, which naturally requires more expensive materials.
Fortunately, the black tiger beast king made him a lot of money, which supported him to buy a lot of things needed in the mid-stage of Qi refining. The spirit stones were replaced with materials, the materials became talismans, and then the talismans were replaced with more spirit stones. After overcoming the initial economic crisis, Yu Qiu finally embarked on such a virtuous circle of money-making.
Of course, he still remembered that Xiao Chunmian temporarily entrusted some of the fragments of the King of the Black Tiger Beast to him, and kept all the spirit stones sold for Xiao Chunmian, waiting for the opportunity to hand them over.
Then another twenty days passed.
Yu Qiu took the two hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones agreed upon earlier from Zhang Donggua, and gave Zhang Donggua a talisman to carry with him.
As a result, the total number of low-grade spirit stones on Yu Qiu's body has exceeded 500. He rubbed the pouch containing the spirit stone, and squinted his eyes fascinated by the wonderful sound. With this money, he decided to buy some necessary gear for himself.
The first is to spend two hundred to buy a storage bag. Although Yu Qiu already had a storage ring, it was a gift from Gao Conghan. Yu Qiu always felt that Gao Conghan didn't really want to give it to him, and it would be more comfortable to use the storage bag he bought himself.
Then... Should I buy some magical artifacts? Yu Qiu hesitated.
He stood in front of the pretty good magic weapon stall where he bought Ruoqiu sword before, staring blankly. Like this soft armor, it looks good, it is hard to hurt with ordinary flying swords, but it needs a full two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Two hundred! You can take ten stone muscle symbols.
Another example is this jade pendant, which has a certain healing effect, but the price is equivalent to ten rejuvenation charms...
Look at this flying sword again...
Yu Qiu was deeply entangled. After tangling, he had to cruelly find out that he was still too poor now, and it would be more economical to choose talismans. As for magic tools... let's talk about it when we have more money...
Yu Qiu turned around with a bitter face, and then there was that second look.
— Xiao Chunmian just happened to be carrying a bag of things, and walked towards the store with a group of people, sweating profusely.
"Xiaoqiu." Xiao Chunmian greeted him very happily, and at the same time handed the big bag in her hand to the shopkeeper.
The group of fellow travelers also unfastened their pockets, touched their rings, and took out a bunch of monster limbs one after another. The mid-stage qi refining surnamed Zhang I met before was among them, and many other faces were in the early-middle stage, and there was even a late-stage one.
"Are you busy hunting recently?" Yu Qiu asked.
"That's right." Xiao Chunmian said, "Occasionally, I spend all my free time in sparring with these fellow Taoists."
During the conversation, Yu Qiu looked at him carefully for a long time. I haven't seen her for a few days, but Xiao Chunmian has grown thinner and taller than before, and even her skin tone is not as fair as before.
"Why so hard?" Yu Qiu felt distressed.
Xiao Chunmian glanced at him with a smile, and said, "The hard work is always worth it."
He said this with confidence. Because he stood in front of Yu Qiu again after more than 20 days, and he was already a five-level Qi Refining Consummation. Yu Qiu looked down at himself, he just got stuck from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining. Well, this time it has been completely ahead.
With just a few words, the shopkeeper had already counted the materials they brought, and then moved out the spirit stones, and handed them over one by one according to the negotiated price.
Xiao Chunmian took the Lingshi, waved to Yu Qiu, and then walked north again with those companions.
"Wait." Yu Qiu hurried over, gave him the spirit stone that had been reserved for him before, and stuffed him with a handful of talismans.
That was a dozen or so spirit-gathering talismans. The spirit-gathering talisman drawn in the mid-stage of Qi refining is not very effective, but it can always make the cultivation efficiency much better than before.
Xiao Chunmian accepted the talisman and thanked her with a smile.
Yu Qiu's heart was as sweet as honey, and he completely forgot that if these dozen or so spirit-gathering talismans were bought, they would be worth hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.
He returned home sweetly, and sighed to the empty room, "I am...do I really like her..."
No one answered.
Even the causal loop system, which used to pop up out of the blue before, has become unreasonably quiet recently for some reason.
Yu Qiu patted his face, and thought to himself: Since Xiao Chunmian has worked so hard, naturally he can't be left behind.
After practicing with all his strength, Yu Qiu finally touched the threshold of the sixth level of Qi refining within ten days before the entrance test of Xuanyangzong, and then broke through in one fell swoop.
Just when he was proud, Xiao Chunmian finally appeared in front of him for the third time.
A shiny six-level Qi Refining completed.
"Xiao Qiu, as I said," Xiao Chunmian smiled brightly, "You don't have to worry about me, I won't let you down."
Even though he was deeply shocked, after hearing these words, Yu Qiu only felt that his heart was filled with happiness.
In the next few days, Xiao Chunmian finally stopped running around, but stayed with Yu Qiu all the time, preparing for the final sprint.
During these ten days, Yu Qiu worked hard to prepare the talismans that might be used, explained to Xiao Chunmian the things that might need attention, tried to find a way to put his old man in place, and searched the market for any necessary items. Too busy to touch the ground. In the end, he still spent two hundred low-grade spirit stones to buy the soft armor, not for himself, but for Xiao Chunmian.
In the last two days, Yu Qiu took Xiao Chunmian into Fangbei Mountain together with most of the monks in Fangshan Collection.
The huge Fangshanji, which was originally bustling and bustling, suddenly became deserted. Most of the monks who left at this time will come back again, and only a few of them, either because of their extraordinary strength or because of their extraordinary luck, finally managed to stay in Xuanyang Mountain.
At this time, Fang Beishan was like his own backyard to Xiao Chunmian, and Yu Qiu had already passed through without even getting a chance to make a move.
Xuanyang Mountain behind Fangbei Mountain is surrounded by fog all year round.
Now the mist opened an opening, revealing a huge door. The gate is neither gold nor jade, it is magnificent, and there is a stone square in front of the gate. The square was originally very large, but now it was crowded with monks who came from all over the place. It was so dark that it seemed a bit crowded.
But in this crowd, they were divided into several piles clearly.
Among them, the largest and most mixed group is naturally the casual cultivators gathered from all over the place. Compared with other people, the low-level casual cultivators lack the unique temperament of monks, and have more of the worldly spirit. They are somewhat nondescript, but they seem very comfortable, and most of them are greeting each other happily.
"Hero Yu Qiu!"
Yu Qiu heard this sound as soon as he came, and looked up, and it really was Zhang Donggua waving at him.
Yu Qiu nodded with a smile, and at the same time felt several contemptuous gazes sweeping past him.
Without looking, Yu Qiu knew that it must be the children of the family and those children adopted by the Xuanyang Sect.
Needless to say, the children of the family have always been proud of being born in a family of cultivators. It is common to look down on casual cultivators who have come out of the mortal world. . And those children adopted by the Xuanyang Sect, because they have the talent that can be favored by the Xuanyang Sect since they were young, are more proud than the children of the family. Purpose dirty stuff.
Yu Qiu couldn't help but sigh: Back then, he was once one of these extremely proud guys!
Of course, such arrogance is actually unwarranted. Although it is true that this group of children has the highest pass rate for each entrance trial, they have never been swept by them. There will always be a few shining figures who will appear from casual cultivators and family children, suppressing their limelight.
Because Xuanyangzong's judgment on talent is imperfect, this can be seen from Xu Hong's previous visit to Yulian County, seeing Yu Qiu but not Xiao Chunmian. If this is not the case, why do they need any entry trials? Wouldn't it be good to just pick people to enter each year
In fact, Xuanyangzong's judgment on talent is only based on the most easily judged root bone.
Xiao Chunmian's root talent is mediocre, not as good as Yu Qiu's. And the reason why he is a genius of comprehension is that the genius lies in a more terrible place - comprehension.
If he hadn't seen Xiao Chunmian break through the barrier with his own eyes, no one would know how terrifying this guy's understanding is.
After thinking about it for a while, three figures finally floated out of Xuanyang Mountain. The first two are only in the late stage of Qi refining, so the casual practitioners can't help but look down upon them. But the person who followed behind made everyone hold their breath—Jin Dan Qi.
Yu Qiurao thought with great interest: So this time is this uncle? This is interesting.
As for the first two... One of them, Yu Qiu, really doesn't want to see...
— Xu Hong.
