CHAPTER XLIII
"Do you want to come with me today?" Xiao Zheng pointed to the wooden barrel full of goat's milk and asked about Jingli. Because her cultivation has broken through again, Jingli is in the cultivation adjustment period and has no cultivation, so Xiaozheng will invite her.
Considering that he was in the recovery period and there was nothing to do, Jingli happily agreed, and took the initiative to carry the barrel.
The two of them walked leisurely towards Biling Peak, in fact, the current Jingli can send the barrel over quickly and smoothly alone, but considering the condition of Xiaozheng, they can only walk over slowly, and take a look at the scenery of Tianqing Mountain by the way.
"After Sister Su advanced, she feels a little more beautiful than before, which is really enviable." Xiao Zheng looked at Jingli's side face with an envious expression.
The difference in the life span of a monk during the Qi cultivation period is not large, generally between one hundred and one hundred and twenty years old, when Jingli just broke through to the fifth layer of Qi training, he did not obviously feel the change in his appearance, he was still in his twenties, and he looked older than Huiyuan and Du Ruo, but after breaking through the sixth layer, his face slowly recovered from the sequelae of cultivation, that is, he was hungry and skinny, and became rounder, and his age looked a little younger, although he was still in his twenties, but he seemed to be younger.
"It's so good, we don't need to take Zhuyan Dan to stay young, we can't." Xiao Zheng continued to mutter, very frustrated, she was still practicing qi, and she had gradually grown a little in the past few years, judging from her appearance and age alone, there was no gap between her and Jingli.
"Actually, don't be so discouraged, the same five spirit roots, there have also been predecessors who have successfully built the foundation, you should be stronger." Jingli touched her face, she didn't care much about her appearance, but she couldn't help but care about Xiaozheng's frustrated attitude. She didn't want her to be affected by her fast cultivation speed.
Maybe the spiritual root will indeed have a huge impact on cultivation, but throughout the entire history of cultivating immortals, it is not without people who build a foundation with the five spiritual roots, although they are all related to chance, but they have not worked hard, how do you know that this opportunity will not fall on your head, as Huiyuan said, many opportunities do not fall on your head, but grabbed. So, she told Xiao Zheng this opinion, and Xiao Zheng nodded perfunctorily, not listening to her heart at all.
Seeing that she was not taught, Jingli didn't say anything more, after all, cultivation still depends on her own will.
When collecting goat's milk, Mu Xintong found that Jingli had broken through, and looked at her a few times in surprise, but she didn't say anything, and still gave two spirit stones to send the two away.
On the way back, Xiao Zheng was a little absent-minded, holding two spirit stones in his hands, neither putting them away, nor wanting to distribute the spirit stones to Jingli. Jingli didn't remind her, she didn't originally come for this spirit stone, if she needed to, she could go down the mountain to the city to do some bounty tasks, she is now a little higher in cultivation, I believe that it will be easier to earn money.
"Ahh A terrible scream suddenly came, and Jingli immediately stopped. She looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and felt something familiar, so she caught up with the little zither who was still walking forward in a daze, took her hand, and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
Before Li Zheng could react more, he poured a cool breeze into his mouth and coughed loudly. Seeing this, Jingli hurriedly cast a wind resistance spell on her, and led her all the way to the place where the screams came from.
Sure enough, it was an acquaintance. Fu Xiaoru was lying on the ground a little embarrassed, most of her hair was burned off, and her clothes were also burned out of some large and small holes.
She seemed to hear the movement, looked back, and saw that it was Xiaozheng and Jingli, she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the three people opposite her. In Fu Xiaoru's opinion, as long as he is not here to help these people, Li Zheng is a bad person, but his cultivation is too low, he will definitely not be able to help, Su Jingli has a cold temperament, and he has lived together for several years and has not spoken, it is estimated that he is just looking at the excitement, but at least he will not help these people, although it is a little uncomfortable to be seen by others as embarrassed, just endure it.
The three people standing opposite Fu Xiaoru, two of them are the third layer of qi refining, and one is the sixth layer of qi refining, and the one who taught Fu Xiaoru a lesson is the woman who practices qi at the sixth layer, the woman is dressed in the clothes of an outer disciple, staring at Fu Xiaoru lying on the ground with her head held high, and when she saw Jingli and Xiaozheng coming, she just glanced at it lightly, and didn't care, but the two women who practiced qi at the third layer looked at Jingli with some vigilance.
"Fu Xiaoru, although the sect stipulates that disciples can't fight casually, but you haven't even entered the door yet, even if I kill you, no one will care, but I don't want to dirty my hands. You weigh it yourself to figure out whether to provoke me or not, and think about what to do. Don't think that you can hide it from people after eating Zhuyan Dan, the old woman also deserves to rob me. Bah! The woman spat at Fu Xiaoru, and walked away with the two attendants in a dashing manner, without even looking at Jingli and Xiaozheng more, obviously not taking these two people in miscellaneous uniforms seriously.
After seeing the three of them leave, Xiaozheng immediately rushed up and helped Fu Xiaoru up, the burnt clothes on her body could no longer cover the important parts of her body, and she looked even more tattered after standing up.
Maybe it's because of her love for beauty, Fu Xiaoru has never worn a miscellaneous uniform, and because she can't afford those clothes that can be both defensive and beautiful, she has to wear ordinary clothes all the time. Jingli felt through the storage bag and found a miscellaneous uniform and threw it to her.
Fu Xiaoru took the clothes, took off the burnt clothes on her body directly, and changed into miscellaneous uniforms.
Although they are all women, it is still quite strange to suddenly see other people's ** in broad daylight, Jingli and Xiaozheng have avoided their sight, but Fu Xiaoru is not a little embarrassed, it seems that it is no big deal to be naked in front of others.
After changing her clothes, Fu Xiaoru turned around and left.
"Let's go." Jingli also dragged the little zither towards Lingyang Valley. She was not interested in this kind of jealous drama at first glance, just now she just heard a familiar voice and subconsciously behaved, hey, this kind of subconscious behavior is not good, to change, she secretly despises herself in her heart.
"Sister Xiaoru is actually quite difficult." Xiao Zheng followed behind Jingli and muttered an explanation.
"No one is easy, monk or mortal." Jingli didn't mind Fu Xiaoru's behavior of not even saying a word of thanks, but Xiaozheng probably thought she was a little unhappy.
She actually has no opinion on Fu Xiaoru, and even admires this person's persistence, but the two of them pursue completely different paths, so there is nothing to evaluate. And she didn't really want to help just now, it's just that her hearing is too sensitive and her body reacts too quickly.
The two returned to their residence, only to find that Fu Xiaoru had also returned, lying on the bed with their backs to them.
Xiao Zheng looked at her back and whispered, "Sister Su, I'll go cook first." She always felt that there was a strange atmosphere in this room, and it was better for her to avoid this kind of cannon fodder.
