Chapter 8 Generous Strokes
At the same time as the sound outside the courtyard gate sounded, Chen Man also put on a pitch-black fingerless glove, but he never saw Li Qing enter the south courtyard, but a golden light swept to Chen Man's feet.
When Chen Man saw the golden light coming towards him, he was immediately startled and wanted to retreat, but no matter how he retreated, he couldn't retreat from the circle surrounded by the golden light.
At this moment, Li Qing had already appeared in the South Courtyard wearing a completely different costume from the miscellaneous servants, looking at Chen Man's embarrassment and laughing, "Senior brother, this is the magic weapon I only got when I was promoted to an outer disciple, called the Bundle Immortal Rope." ”
Li Qing was finally reluctant to walk into the threshold of the South Courtyard, and after entering, he saw the pitch-black pit left by a fireball technique on the ground when he broke through the Spirit Gathering Period, and couldn't help but smile proudly.
That big pit has never been filled by Chen Man, and He Dali has been stopped by him several times when he wants to fill it, there is only one reason, it was deliberately left by Chen Man in order to encourage himself to cultivate.
After coming in, Li Qing waved his hand casually, and the bundle of immortal ropes that kept circling around Chen Man seemed to feel the call of the master, and flew over Chen Man's head with a bang, forming a big circle around Li Qing, running like the water of the small stream.
He Dali had already heard the voice, he went back to the cabin to study the Vajra Technique, although Chen Man didn't like Li Qing's show-off behavior, he still put on a smiling face, "Senior Brother Li Qing, long time no see." ”
Obviously, this senior brother shouted to Li Qing's heart, only to see him smile and nod, and asked Chen Man, "Don't you invite senior brother into the house to drink a bowl of water?"
After that, before Chen Man could speak, he walked confidently towards the cabin, and Chen Man walked quickly forward and walked beside him, and the two walked side by side.
Pushing open the wooden door that was re-slammed after being blasted open that day, Li Qing saw the scene of He Dali putting his feet on the bench and himself sitting on the table reading a book, and immediately squinted and smiled: "He Manzi is also here, now that he knows that the Vajra Technique is useful, it seems that Chen Man has taught you a lot of things." ”
He Manzi couldn't get used to hearing such a yin and yang weird ridicule, so he snorted coldly and closed the blue-skinned King Kong Jue, and got up and walked outside directly without looking at Li Qing.
God knows what kind of bond these two people formed before Chen Man entered the mountain, in short, the relationship between the two of them has always given Chen Man the impression that water and fire are incompatible, since the day Chen Man lived in the South Courtyard.
Chen Man didn't bother to be this peacemaker, and seeing that Li Qing was not angry at He Dali's performance, he brought two bowls of water and put them on the table, and then pulled over a bench and sat down.
Seeing that Li Qing kept pointing out some subtle changes in the room, and then burying his head in drinking water, Chen Man was a little anxious and spoke by himself.
"Senior brother, now you are also an outer disciple, you can receive three medium-grade spirit stones per month, it just so happens that I also need spirit stones to rush through recently, do you think you should return those ten spirit stones first?"
"What's the hurry. Li Qing heard Chen Man urging debts, put down the empty bowl in his hand and replied.
When he found that Chen Man's expression became much colder in an instant, he changed his words and continued: "Senior brother, it hasn't been long since he entered the outer door, and he has to work up and down, and the spirit stone is really unable to make ends meet, you have to be considerate of senior brother." ”
"Besides, I had been cultivating for seven months, so I was expected to reach the Gathering Spirit Period, you have only been in the mountain for less than two months, how can you rush through the level so quickly?"
Chen Man kept silent, his left hand on his knee, and his right hand with black gloves tightly grasped the edge of the porcelain bowl, but from his breathing, he could see that he was quite annoyed now.
Li Qing naturally knew his state, and then saw Li Qing's eyes keep rolling, as if he was calculating something, and after a few breaths, he made a painful look, and reached out to take out a wooden box from his pocket.
The wooden box was only the size of a palm, and the carvings on the periphery were not very detailed, but it was regarded as a treasure by Li Qing in his hand.
I saw that he deliberately hesitated again and again, but still put the wooden box on the table and handed it to Chen Man, "That's it, senior brother got a fairy grass a few days ago, which is very beneficial to cultivation, and I didn't change someone who spent a medium-grade spirit stone, and I will give it to you today to offset the account, and I don't want you the rest of the fraction." ”
Chen Man squinted his eyes and looked at the wooden box in front of him, but he still reached out and opened the lid of the box, only to see a plant lying quietly at the bottom of the box with three leaves and a fiery red body.
After the lid of the box was opened by Chen Man, a faint wave of aura suddenly emanated from the small wooden box, obviously the fairy grass was not an extraordinary thing as Li Qing said.
Chen Man was hesitating whether to agree to Li Qing, but he didn't want Li Qing to speak again, "Senior brother, in fact, Senior Brother is here this time, and there is one more thing to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Chen Man frowned slightly, still thinking about the value of the fairy grass in the box.
I saw Li Qing rubbing his hands, looking at Chen Man with a somewhat flattering expression, "Hehe, senior brother has been a little tight recently, and the day after tomorrow is the time to receive subsidies, can you borrow ten more spirit stones from senior brother?"
Chen Man almost didn't turn his face with him when he heard this, but at this moment Chen Man had realized that Li Qing deliberately made a good posture at the beginning, but just drew a big circle for himself to jump in.
Squinting at Li Qing's flattering posture, Chen Man really thought that he was underwhelmed, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Yes, but you have to press the immortal rope here." ”
Hearing Chen Man's condition, Li Qing's face immediately became much colder, and his brows tightened into the word "Chuan", "Senior brother, the immortal rope is given by the sect, and this senior brother can't be the master." ”
"Then don't say anything about borrowing spirit stones, I borrowed ten spirit stones last month and received the subsidy the day after tomorrow and paid it off together. Chen Man didn't leave any room to speak, and gave Li Qing an ultimatum categorically.
Seeing that his tone was so tough when he spoke, Li Qing's angry face was overflowing without concealment, and even exuded a murderous aura on his body, in a vain attempt to deter Chen Man with the strong strength of the Spirit Gathering Period.
The bundle of immortal ropes flew out of Li Qing's sleeves as if it was suddenly "out of control", and circled around the two people in front of the table, and the speed became faster and faster, but Chen Man was still unmoved.
Li Qing didn't know what Chen Man's basis was, and he could still sit there calmly in the face of the threat that he had already revealed, but he didn't particularly care, Li Qing was quite confident in the strength of his Gathering Spirit Period.
After a few breaths, Chen Man seemed to think that the bundle of immortal ropes was too troublesome to turn around, and his right hand wearing gloves suddenly tapped on the tabletop, raising his head and staring at Li Qing with slanted eyes, "What, you still want to do it?"
After the bundle of immortal ropes had a deterrent effect, he was recalled by Li Qing using a concealed method, and then the corners of Li Qing's mouth hooked up a smile, "Chen Man, listen to the advice of senior brother, lend me ten spirit stones the day after tomorrow, and pay you back next time I receive the subsidy, and if you have any trouble in the southern courtyard in the future, you can also come to senior brother for help." ”
From Li Qing's words, it was not difficult to see that he could almost expect that Chen Man had been frightened, and he was confident that he would be able to settle anything that happened in the Southern Courtyard now.
Chen Man naturally scoffed at this, revealing a disdainful smile, "I still say the same thing, I don't agree to leave the bundle of immortal ropes, and I won't talk about borrowing spirit stones, and I will return ten spirit stones the day after tomorrow." ”
The next moment, the small wooden house that did not occupy a large area was suddenly filled with a strong murderous aura, and Li Qing did not hesitate to release the coercion of the powerhouse of the Gathering Spirit Period, and slapped the table angrily.
"Chen Man, the person who knows the times is Junjie, and the day after tomorrow will give you ten spirit stones, why are you?" Li Qing seemed to feel that the coercion was not enough, and even raised his hand to condense a fireball.
After the fireball formed on Li Qing's palm, the temperature in the whole room immediately skyrocketed a lot, Chen Man watched the flames on Li Qing's palm rise, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "That's right, I can't beat you, but you dare to kill me here?" Not long after entering the outer gate, you still regard yourself as an inner disciple who holds the power of life and death in your hands?"
This sentence can be said to have poked at Li Qing's weakness, yes, although he Li Qing now has the strength to gather spirits, he is not the only one who has a huge refining sect gathering spirit disciples, so he has to act with scruples.
"Good! good!"
The next moment, Li Qing put away the fireball, laughed angrily and said three good words in a row, then turned around and pushed the door out, and did not forget to leave a cruel word before leaving.
"Chen Man, I Li Qing have written down today's events, I wish you an early promotion to the outer disciple, and we will see you in the North Courtyard when the time comes. After that, Li Qingtou didn't turn around and left, the speed was so fast, it seemed that this former residence had nothing worth nostalgia for him.
A muffled bang sounded in the courtyard, it was the sound of Li Qing slamming the door.
He Dali didn't go far in the first place, but just practiced the Xingyi Quan routines that Chen Man taught him in the courtyard, and now seeing Li Qing walking out of the courtyard with a pale face, he also walked into the cabin.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" He Manzi called out from the bottom of his heart, and then asked Chen Man about the situation just now.
For this guy who is called a barbarian, since he recognizes the eldest brother, he is the eldest brother for life, although he seems to be short-tempered, but he is also much stronger than Li Qing's bad stomach.
At least that's what Chen Man, who is looking at He Dali at the moment, thinks so in his heart.
Chen Man pointed to the wooden box on the table, "It's nothing, that guy borrowed me ten spirit stones before, saying that he wanted to use this fairy grass to pay off his debts, and he would borrow ten more, but I didn't agree." ”
Somehow, after listening to Chen Man's narration, He Dali's face instantly turned pale, as if something was wrong.
Later, in Chen Man's somewhat puzzled gaze, He Manzi stepped forward and opened the small wooden box, and the box was still the plant with a fiery red body and three petals that emitted aura fluctuations.
"Hmph, Chiyan Flower, it's true that it has some benefits for cultivation, but it's completely for chicken ribs, plus the fragrance of flowers can repel mosquitoes, this is barely worth a low-grade spirit stone, there is no annotation in these vajra recipes, I saw it in other books. ”
After seeing the three-leaf flower in the box, He Dali did not hesitate to give a pertinent evaluation.
Then Chen Man's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said word by word: "A low-grade spirit stone? Senior Brother Li Qing is really a big hand." ”
