Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Wooden Shopkeeper's Entrustment
"Brother Yang, how did you learn this body technique, and the speed is so fast? If I don't bless the light body technique, I won't be able to beat you. Mu Lingqing was drenched in sweat, and he was panting on the ground sitting on the side.
Just now, Mu Lingqing and Ren Xiaoyao left Misty Mountain Fang City and came to a place in Misty Mountain where there was no prohibition on fighting methods, and the two of them had a discussion. Mu Lingqinghui has many spells, and his mana is much deeper than Ren Xiaoyao's, while Ren Xiaoyao's body method is agile and elegant, and his attack methods are strange and unpredictable.
Mu Lingqing will be entangled by Ren Xiaoyao if he is a little careful, and he can't even cast spells, so he can only fight by casting immortal fighting skills similar to secular martial arts, but in addition to spells, Mu Lingqing's combat skills are too much worse than Ren Xiaoyao, so Mu Lingqing and Ren Xiaoyao will bless the light body technique as soon as possible, and always distance themselves from Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao is different, he is quite jealous of Mu Lingqing's various spells, especially her wood spells, which are endless, and she is entangled at every turn, and Ren Xiaoyao can only make full use of his own advantages to fight with Mu Lingqing.
Even so, after all, Ren Xiaoyao has deep mana Cheng dù and his perception of spells Cheng dù is too much different from Mu Lingqing, the two of them fight, Ren Xiaoyao loses more and wins less, and with the improvement of Mu Lingqing's fighting experience, Ren Xiaoyao feels that Mu Lingqing is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and it is even more difficult to win. In this way, for two consecutive months, the two have fought dozens of times a day, and they have grown very much with each other. Ren Xiaoyao even felt that his cultivation had increased greatly in the past two months, and he was faintly about to touch the threshold of the fifth order of qi refining.
"This method of my body is a light skill that I learned when I was in the world, and it still has some effect on me at present, and when I reach a higher level, I am afraid it will be useless. Besides, when it comes to the real fighting method, adding a light talisman casually is much stronger than my body method. Ren Xiaoyao was also too tired, sat on the side and sweated profusely, and replied casually. This Xiaoyao method is a little strange, and it can be regarded as a means of pressing the box for Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Xiaoyao doesn't want to tell others casually.
"Others add light talismans, Brother Yang, you can also add them!And Brother Yang, how did you learn this secular martial arts, you can use it so flexibly in the fighting method, at that time, I don't know where you will attack from, and I don't know how you dodged my spell attack, can you teach me?" Mu Lingqing thought of Ren Xiaoyao's combat skills and was greatly admired.
"There are many similarities between secular martial arts and monks, and many times they are just an extension of physical skills, and the key depends on your comprehension. If you want to learn, I have a few secular martial arts cheats here, which are quite good in the world, so I'll give them to you. However, I advise you to just take a look at it, and don't spend too much time on this, after all, we are immortal cultivators, and time is precious. Ren Xiaoyao took out a few super-first-class ** from the world from the storage bag and threw them to Mu Lingqing.
"Thank you, Brother Yang. Mu Lingqing smiled and took the cheats, and immediately looked at it with great curiosity.
"You and I better hurry back to Fang City, although this place also belongs to the Misty Mountain, but there is no prohibition on fighting methods, it is still a little dangerous. What's more, you and I have just finished fighting the Fa, and the mana is consumed too much, and it is very dangerous if we encounter a monk with bad intentions. As soon as he rested and gasped, Ren Xiaoyao got up and urged Mu Lingqing to return to Fang City.
"Oh, I'll go back and read these cheats, I can't take Brother Yang's things for nothing, this is a spirit pill, which is of great benefit to Brother Yang's current realm, so I'll give it to you." Mu Lingqing endured his curiosity, put away the martial arts cheats, and after a slight hesitation, he took out a pill and sent it to Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao took the Spirit Pill and felt that the concentration of spiritual power on it was much stronger than that on the Spirit Pill, so he knew that it must be a good thing. Ren Xiaoyao has a tight net worth, he hasn't taken the elixir for a long time, and his cultivation is like a snail crawling, with this elixir, his cultivation should be able to increase a little, and he can save a lot of time.
"Thank you. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes moved, and after thanking Mu Lingqing cautiously, he put away the elixir.
......
"Grandpa, I'm back. As soon as Mu Lingqing came back, he ran to the wooden shopkeeper to report as soon as possible, and by the way, he was coquettish.
"How was the result of today's battle?" The wooden shopkeeper had just finished cultivating, and he calculated that Mu Lingqing and Ren Xiaoyao should be back soon, so he personally cooked, made some meals, and waited for them to come back.
"Seven to three, I've won seven times, grandpa, am I powerful?" Mu Lingqing asked with a smug face as he went to pick up the food on the table.
"Awesome ghost, if you fight with someone else's fourth-order strength in refining qi, you will lose three times, you are embarrassed to say. The wooden shopkeeper scolded with a smile, and beckoned the two to sit down and eat.
Ren Xiaoyao also sat down unceremoniously under the gesture of the wooden shopkeeper's eyes, this kind of warm scene made Ren Xiaoyao miss it very much, and it also added some sadness to his heart. Since Mu Lingqing came, the wooden shopkeeper will cook every night to cook some worldly dishes, and the three of them eat together, of course, Ren Yao is only incidental. But it was this simple dinner once a day that reminded Ren Xiaoyao of the happy times when he was with Ruoxi and Ren Bi'er, and whenever he thought of this, Ren Xiaoyao felt like he was pricked by a needle.
"Yang Guo, you came to my practice room in half an hour, and I have something to discuss with you. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was about to leave after eating, the wooden shopkeeper said something seemingly casually.
"Hmm. Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and after answering softly, he went back to his cabin.
"Grandpa, how do I feel that Brother Yang is sullen every time he eats?" When Ren Xiaoyao walked away, Mu Lingqing asked her grandfather in a low voice.
"Your brother Yang is a person with a story, I think he still has people to care about in the world. And eating with us reminded him of the people he cared about. Don't mention this matter in the future, so as not to touch his feelings, which will not be beneficial to cultivating immortals. The wooden shopkeeper looked at Ren Xiaoyao's room with his slightly vicissitudes of life, and said lightly.
"Oh, Lingqing knows. Grandpa, what are you looking for Brother Yang, I remember that in the past two months, you have never taken the initiative to find Brother Yang, is it something important?" Mu Lingqing asked curiously.
"Don't ask, I'll let you know when it's time to know. Hurry up and eat, and I'll give you a guide on your cultivation after eating. The wooden shopkeeper did not answer Mu Lingqing's question, and buried his head in eating. Mu Lingqing saw that the wooden shopkeeper didn't want to say anything, so he also ate with his head bored, and from time to time he put a few pieces of meat in the bowl of the wooden shopkeeper.
Half an hour later, Ren Xiaoyao appeared on time in the practice room of the wooden shopkeeper.
"Yang Guo, it's been a year since you came to me, and this is all the remaining unsettled salary, you can collect it. After the wooden shopkeeper finished speaking, he threw more than twenty lower-grade spirit stones to Ren Xiaoyao.
"Shopkeeper, it's too much. Ren Xiaoyao swept the spirit stone sent by the wooden shopkeeper and said lightly. But in Ren Xiaoyao's heart, it seemed a little strange, this wooden shopkeeper has always attached great importance to spirit stones, and it is a bit abnormal to send a few more spirit stones so plain and invincible.
"After you come to my small shop, the business in the store is better than before, these are your bonuses, you just take it." The wooden shopkeeper said lightly.
"In that case, thank you shopkeeper. Ren Xiaoyao was not polite, put the spirit stone into the storage bag, looked at the wooden shopkeeper expressionlessly, and waited for the wooden shopkeeper to continue talking.
The wooden shopkeeper originally wanted to wait for Ren Xiaoyao to take the initiative to ask, but Ren Xiaoyao didn't say a word, and the wooden shopkeeper didn't worry about waiting, sighed, and then said: "I don't know what you plan to do next, do you want to continue to work in my store?"
"I'm going to go out to find some opportunities, you also know my situation, if you don't fight, I'm afraid it will become a pile of loess in a few decades. Ren Xiaoyao was a little sad, but he whispered very resolutely.
"Alas, your heart for the Tao is very strong, and I know that you are not willing to stay in my little shop for a long time. But if I keep you in the shop for a few more years, I don't know if you'd like to?" the wooden shopkeeper sighed, but still said his thoughts directly.
"Shopkeeper, I'm afraid this makes me a little embarrassed!" Ren Xiaoyao said with a wry smile. To tell the truth, in addition to some buttons on the door, this wooden shopkeeper is still a good person, and he is even more kind to Ren Xiaoyao. But Ren Xiaoyao can't waste his three years because of this, you must know that these three years are likely to be the three life-saving years for him to step into the foundation building realm in the future.
The wooden shopkeeper was not surprised by Ren Yao's reaction, but felt that it was normal, and if he was replaced, he might refuse directly. However, the wooden shopkeeper was not in a hurry, but continued to talk on his own.
"I know it's a bit of a bummer, but I can't find anyone else to believe. I'm about to break through to the eleventh order of qi refining, and I want to wait for this breakthrough to go to the edge of the demon beast forest and stay there for a few years, looking for some opportunities, so as to pave a foundation for Lingqing's girl. You also know that my sect is equivalent to no for me, Lingqing is my only concern in this world, although she has some qualifications, but if there is no chance, the possibility of building a foundation is also very small. The purpose of my trip to the Demon Beast Forest this time was to find the Zhuji Dan for her before her cultivation reached the twelfth level of qi refining. But the Demon Beast Forest is too dangerous, I don't let go of my heart and follow me over, but she can't go back to the sect now, and she has only been here for more than two months, plus she has too little experience, I really don't worry about her. So I want to ask you to take care of her for me for a few years, and I will come back in a few years, and when she is cultivated and has the ability to take care of herself, I will take her away. Although your cultivation is low, according to my observation, you have rich experience in dealing with people and things, and you are a person with great perseverance, and the most important thing is that you are a principled person, and you will not covet the things of the small shop, let alone be unfavorable to Lingqing, so I am more relieved to entrust her to you. ”
"Wooden shopkeeper, thank you for your trust in me, but I don't have that time. Ren Xiaoyao still said very resolutely. This wooden shopkeeper only said that Ren Xiaoyao was his only candidate, but he didn't mention what benefits Ren Xiaoyao could get from it, so of course Ren Xiaoyao didn't do it. If you die for your confidant, you can't say a few touching words, so let me spend a few years for you.
"I also know that I can't waste your time in vain, I will give you some benefits, these benefits are enough to make up for your losses. You should know that the Qi refining period from the fourth to the fifth order is a bottleneck, from the eighth order to the ninth order, it is another bottleneck, and every level after that, it is a bottleneck. And you've been here for a year, and you haven't broken through to the fifth order of qi refining, it's this bottleneck that is stuck on you, do you want to quickly break through this bottleneck to the fifth order of qi refining?" The wooden shopkeeper smiled and asked Ren Xiaoyao a very tempting question.
"If there is such a method, of course I would like to do so. Ren Xiaoyao was excited, but there was no expression on his face, and he said very truthfully.
"This is a Ascending Spirit Pill, it is very valuable, it is specially used to break through from the fourth order of Qi refining to the fifth order of Qi refining, as long as you promise to take care of the small shop for a few years and help me take care of Mu Lingqing until I come back, this pill will be given to you. And I will also give you a copy of the Yellow Rank Intermediate Sword Technique, "Falling Flower Sword Technique", although this sword recipe sounds a bit like it is practiced by women, in fact, men can also practice. This is a book of wood attributes**,The characteristic is that the attack speed seems to be slow and fast.,Dazzling.,It's hard to prevent.。 In addition to these, in the future, you will take half of the income from the operation of this store, and now you know the purchase channels of all the goods in this store, and it should be no problem for you to control this store. All these benefits add up, it should be enough to offset the time you spend here, even if you go out to look for opportunities, the benefits you get may not be able to exceed the benefits I give you, and you have to take risks, and importantly, if you stay here for a few years, you can also cultivate, don't you practice the fireball technique every day at work?" The wooden shopkeeper said all the benefits that could be provided in one go, and then looked at Ren Xiaoyao, waiting for him to give an answer.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Ren Xiaoyao weighed it repeatedly, and finally spoke again.
