It would be good to make further progress, especially when seeing Bai Jin's cultivation reaching the fusion stage, Zhan Hongqu became more and more eager to break through the bottleneck.
From being equally matched to being one step behind in realm, the feeling was indescribable. Although she didn't say it, she felt quite disappointed in her heart. She just waited for an opportunity to catch up, not wanting to see Bai Jin getting further and further away.
However, when Lu Bei said this, he had to think twice and must not agree to it easily.
You can have the intention to harm the North, but you must have the intention to guard against the North.
Zhan Hongqu took a step back silently and said, "Junior Brother Lu, do you have a chance to break through the fusion stage?"
"nature."
Lu Bei waved the immortal sword intent on his fingertips, and when Zhan Hongqu looked at him, he waved his hand to disperse it. "Let's be frank. With Senior Sister Zhan's current state, as long as her luck is not too bad, she will be able to achieve fusion after three to five years of hard work. But if I can lend you a hand, you may be reborn overnight."
Zhan Hongqu remained silent and admitted that Lu Bei was right. She tasted the sweetness of the nameless sword intent last night and there was a tendency that the bottleneck would be broken. In a few more nights, it would be possible for her to advance to the fusion stage.
This is also the reason why she raised the price. She advised Lu Bei to turn back from his wrong path, but in her heart she wished she could be his guide more times. If she could negotiate a monthly deal, she could also maintain the original price.
“Senior Sister Zhan, don’t be silent. Your eyes tell me that you are moved.” Lu Bei looked honest and shook the immortal sword intent on his fingertips again.
"I am indeed moved, but..."
Zhan Hongqu gritted his teeth, looked away with difficulty, and stared at Lu Bei: "If the breakthrough opportunity you are talking about is the same as that of Junior Sister Bai, then I am sorry that we are not destined to be together. I have given up on this idea."
"Senior Sister Bai's chance... When will Senior Sister Bai break through? Senior Sister Zhan, please don't talk nonsense. It will take at least several years!"
"hehe."
Zhan Hongqu sneered twice: "Junior Brother Lu, there is no need to pretend anymore. I already knew about Junior Sister Bai's breakthrough to the Fusion Stage. She didn't hide it from me, and I won't let her down."
"Kill Senior Sister for justice!"
Lu Bei's face straightened, and he flicked his hand to pass a ray of immortal sword intent over. "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. To be honest, before I learned the sword intent of love, I was able to help Senior Sister Bai break through the fusion stage. After improving the sword intent, I have a better grasp of it."
I felt like I had found a treasure when I cut the red yeast rice, and I was immersed in it in a trance.
After a while, the immortal sword intent dissipated, and she woke up with a look of reluctance, still shaking her head.
Lu Bei is Bai Jin's most beloved junior fellow apprentice and also their dual cultivation partner. With this relationship in mind, she would never accept the so-called "chance" no matter what.
This is a matter of principle and there is no room for turning back.
"If Senior Sister Zhan doesn't want to, I won't force you. This kind of thing requires mutual consent and cannot be forced. Go back and think about it carefully, and come back to me when you have thought it through." The fish has already entered the nest, and it is only a matter of time before it takes the bait, so Lu Bei is not in a hurry.
He didn't believe that the incomplete Immortal Sword Intent could drag Bai Jin down. Zhan Hongqu, who had tasted the complete version of the Immortal Sword Intent, could withstand that hot heart.
I can't bear it, even if my inner demons are brought out.
As for Zhan Hongqu's concerns, Lu Bei said that the other party was overthinking it. It was just dual cultivation, there was no such thing as dual cultivation, and he really didn't intend to do anything weird.
I have just acquired a Love Sword Song recently. Together with the original Changchong Sword Song and Immortal Sword Intent, upgrading requires a lot of experience. Bai Jin alone is bound to be unable to do it. It is not good to just keep killing monsters. The number of high-level experience packs decreases as I go higher, and sooner or later all the monsters will be killed.
When it comes to cultivating immortality, you can’t just take one path, you have to do two things at the same time.
If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. In order to prevent resources from being exhausted in the future, it is time to cultivate a Baijin No. 2.
And you have to be quick, otherwise you won’t be able to carry it if you’re late.
"Junior Brother Lu, is this how you negotiate business with Junior Sister Bai... No, is this how you tricked her into being caught?"
"Definitely not!"
Lu Bei showed a little shyness: "Lu is obsessed with Senior Sister Bai, and is more sincere than Xiang Jianzhixin. How could I mix business with her feelings? This is blasphemy and absolutely impossible."
Then you will talk business with me
Zhan Hongqu was slightly dissatisfied and opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
"Senior Sister Zhan, you are different. We have no feelings for each other. We can only talk about business. Besides, you were the one who came to me to discuss business first."
Lu Bei snorted twice, and added at the end: "By the way, you even raised the price. You are such a profiteer."
"So, this is your revenge?"
Zhan Hongqu was so angry that he laughed out loud, and finally understood Lu Bei's thoughts.
It's both infuriating and funny. This person is so narrow-minded.
"If you think so, Lu will not refute it."
Lu Bei shrugged: "My sword power is not something I picked up, but something I gained through practice bit by bit. Every bit of it is the result of my talent and hard work. I paid a price you can't imagine. I am willing to give it to Senior Sister Bai. I'm giving it to you..."
"Since it's all given, why don't I take the opportunity to get some benefits?"
That makes some sense.
Zhan Hongqu nodded secretly, with good reasoning, and unexpectedly found that he was actually convinced by Lu Bei.
Thinking of the supreme realm of the nameless sword, for a moment, she was a little moved. If, she meant if, there was only business between the two of them and they didn't walk into each other's lives, it seemed that there was no difference between dual cultivation and ordinary cultivation.
Just added one more person.
Caught in a dilemma, Zhan Hongqu couldn't make a decision between jumping back and forth, so he had to ask his own swordsman.
Zhan Hongqu: Jianxin, oh Jianxin, if I agree to her, wouldn’t I be a little sorry for Junior Sister Bai
Kenshin: More than that, you are simply not a human being.
Cut the red song:…
Kenshin: The moment you asked me, you had the answer. If I said tell him to go away, could you tell him to go away
Cut the red song:…
Kenshin: Stop talking nonsense and quickly take out his sword intent. I am not in a hurry, but you are!
Kenshin had no resistance to the immortal sword intent and fell at the speed of light. Not only did he not pull Zhan Hongqu back, he also advised her to obey quickly.
Zhan Hongqu shuddered and quickly shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Junior Brother Lu, we can't let Junior Sister Bai down. Let's not mention this matter again."
"Okay, you have the final say."
Lu Bei smiled meaningfully: "Yes now, and in the future, but don't be too late, several senior sisters are still waiting for Lu's reply!"
Red Song: “…”
This guy is really shameless. It's a pity for Junior Sister Bai. She must have been deceived by him.
"Also, for tonight's business, either you keep the original price, or I leave now, lest Senior Sister Zhan takes advantage and successfully breaks through the fusion stage, and I will have to lower the price for future business."
"… "
In the end, the two sides reached a deal, with the transaction amount being half of yesterday's price, and will be cut in half again tomorrow.
For this, Zhan Hongqu has to thank Lu Bei.
Hearing is not the same as learning. After handling it once, Zhan Hongqu finally understood what it meant to wait for a good price. Lu Bei was fearless, but she did not have the confidence to raise the price. Even whether the deal could be concluded depended on the other party's mood.
I feel resentful and aggrieved, but I have to endure it.
Zhan Hongqu was so angry that her chest hurt, and she kept grinding her teeth while leading the way. Jianxin couldn't bear to see her suffer any injustice, so he persuaded her to obey again.
We are all being wronged anyway, so why not make more money? No one can get any advantage, and the one with the surname Lu cannot get any advantage!
…
Iron Mountain.
Prison, gateway.
Two black-robed figures carrying swords blocked the entrance. Zhan Hongqu showed his token and said the same thing as last night: "I am here to interrogate the prisoner on the orders of Elder Zhan."
Coming again
The two figures hesitated slightly, but did not think much about it. Seeing Lingru seeing people, they made way.
Those in prison are all serious criminals who are stubborn and refuse to speak. It is reasonable to interrogate them a few more times in order to pry open their mouths.
Zhan Hongqu led the way, and Lu Bei followed closely behind. With the experience from last time, he did not look around this time, but went straight to the topic and arrived at the fourth floor prison.
Under Zhan Hongqu's speechless gaze, Lu Bei had a very exciting time today. He opened up his small world and enveloped all seven sword cultivators in it at once.
With the blessing of green light, the injuries recovered.
After just a moment, the seven sword cultivators slowly stood up.
Among them, the five sword cultivators who joined forces to besiege Lu Bei but were beaten miserably looked very ugly. Their record of battle was not glorious, so their faces were naturally dull.
Wang Yan was fine. Although he was the first to be knocked down, he won in a one-on-one duel. If he lost, it was because he was not as skilled as his opponent. He did not feel the grief and indignation of his five fellow disciples.
Lian Lin had the worst expression. He lowered his head to look at his collar, then slowly raised his head and glared at Lu Bei.
I've already told you that there's a unique way to take out the Heart-Locking Stone, and it's easy and simple to learn. But you insist on doing it recklessly. Are you looking for trouble on purpose
The gaze was piercing, like a knife stabbing at his face, but Lu Bei was not at all panicked. He had the evidence of the red song that proved that when he was happy, he did not look around, and his actions were very disciplined. He had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of others.
He cupped his fists and looked at everyone: "My dear seniors, on this day last year, I invited you to a sword fight, and I felt that I gained a lot. Today, I am shamelessly passing by your precious place, and I hope you will be generous in giving me some advice."
Red Song: “…”
When you are lying to someone, please look around, there is someone who knows the inside story.
Zhan Hongqu knew that Lu Bei had just arrived yesterday, but the seven sealed sword cultivators didn't know that. When they heard Lu Bei's sincere invitation to the sword, they really thought they had seen each other again after a year.
It is true that time does not exist in spiritual practice, but wasting time in meaningless sleep would make even these immortals fall silent.
A feeling of sadness spread out, lingering in the hearts of the seven people for a long time.
"You're just in time. I was planning to spar with you."
The person who woke up from his loss of consciousness the fastest was Lian Lin. With a wisp of black hair trembling in his hand, he transformed it into a black broadsword and stepped in front of Lu Bei to kill him.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Lu Bei pointed his fingers together to form a sword and rushed forward. He was very curious about Lian Lin's ability to use his hair as a sword. If he pulled out his hair every time they fought, would his hair become bald
Even if it's not a Mediterranean hairline, alopecia areata will affect your temperament and image!
After a cup of tea, Lu Bei stopped and stood still. The seven sword cultivators on the opposite side were all injured, and the two sides barely ended up in a draw.
One party is responsible for full blood, and seven are responsible for vomiting blood. There is nothing wrong with a 50-50 split.
Having tasted the bitter fruit of failure once again, with seven against one, Lian Lin and the others could not tell how sad they were.
If they had not wasted their time, but had been out there...
Thinking of this, several people looked at each other unfriendlyly, thinking that this man was cunning and could persuade people to surrender without leaving any trace. If it were not for their firm swordsmanship, they would have fallen into his trap.
