[Fire Spirit Root Qualification: Lower Grade (5383/1000) (Breakthrough)]
[Wood Spirit Root Qualification: Lower Grade (5377/1000) (Breakthrough)]
[Alchemy Insight: One Turn Advanced (3812/1W)]
Ji Bochang looked at the two qualifications of fire and wood spirit root in the panel that had exceeded the threshold of inferior grades, and confirmed the breakthrough without hesitation.
In the past, he didn't know if there would be a vision when the spiritual root broke through, and whether it would be discovered by the Daoists who got along day and night, but now...... No worries!!
With the breakthrough of the spiritual root qualification, there was a faint sourness on his body, and the bone meridians seemed to have undergone some kind of mysterious changes...
It's like a person who has been nearsighted for many years suddenly wears glasses, and after a short period of adaptation, he feels that he sees the world much clearer...
I felt a little more aura, and under the realization in my heart, I actually broke through to the third layer of qi refining!
"Tsk~"
Ji Bo often stammered a few times, and muttered with a slight movement of his eyes: "The middle-grade spiritual root is like this, what about those Tianjiao who have the best heavenly spirit root or special physique?" β
"What does the world look like in their eyes?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A few days later, in Moyun Xuan...
"Want to leave the lonely city and live in Fang City?"
The old shopkeeper's voice was a little higher, and looking at the year-old friend in front of him, he asked cautiously: "Bochang, have you been stimulated by anything in the past two years?" β
"What irritates or not..."
Ji Bochang only smiled and said, "I was originally a monk, what's wrong with going to Fang City to live?" β
"The cultivation of the second layer of qi refining is also called a monk?"
The old shopkeeper sneered, and said with a playful expression: "With your kind of cultivation, don't talk about Fang City, we can find one hundred and eighty in the lonely city." β
"Wrong, I'm now in the third layer of Qi refining."
ββ¦β¦β
The folds on the old shopkeeper's face shook, then he looked him up and down, and asked, "Have you made up your mind?" β
"It's up to you."
Ji Bochang pondered for a while and said, "Old Li Tou, I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than that my cultivation is too low, and it's not easy to live in Fang City."
My parents left when I was eight years old, and I know better than anyone that there is a lot of danger in the spiritual world. β
His voice paused, and then he added: "But I'm still young, I don't want to be here for the rest of my life, and I don't want to lie in bed and wait for death in a hundred years." β
"Ugh..."
The old shopkeeper sighed when he heard this, and said to himself: "Don't blame the old man for talking too much, I have seen too many young people like you, and I know that you can't settle down." β
After that, he took out a sack from the account room, threw it in Ji Bochang's arms, and said: "I have collected the dividends of "Taoyuan Travel" for you in the past two years, a total of three hundred and fifty-six lower-grade spirit stones, I think it is troublesome to collect them one by one, so I will help you replace a few medium-grade spirit stones. β
"Hey, thank you."
Ji Bochang smiled, his sense swept away, but he was surprised to find that there were not scattered low-grade spirit stones in the sack, and there were actually five middle-grade spirit stones!
He checked the spirit stone in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Old man Li, what do you mean by this?" β
"Take it."
The old shopkeeper snorted coldly and waved his hand, and said, "You have also helped me earn a lot over the years, and I don't have much place to use spirit stones when I am alone." β
"Huh~"
Ji Bochang was stunned: "Scared me, I thought you didn't have two years to live." β
"A dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth."
The old shopkeeper glared at him, and said angrily: "I went to Fang City, and I can't tell who will die first, so you will give you a share in advance." β
"Almost."
Ji Bo often thought of business, and he lost the interest in laughing with him, so he asked meaningfully at the moment: "Old Li Tou, I heard that your Mo Yunxuan also has a business in Fang City?" β
"Snort, joke~"
The old shopkeeper sneered, shook his beard and said, "It's not the old man I'm bragging, as long as there is a place in the cultivation market, there is a signboard of our Mo Yunxuan." β
"I see~"
Ji Bochang nodded abruptly and asked, "Then you must be very familiar with Fang City?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The old shopkeeper's face stiffened, and in order not to lose face, he said stubbornly: "Mo Yunxuan's signboard belongs to the owner, and I, who is the shopkeeper, have to operate it here, and it is inconvenient to walk around, so it is generally familiar~"
"Can I inquire about it?"
"What's the matter?"
"How can I find a Taoist companion in the market..."
ββ¦β¦β
"Old Li, didn't you lie to me?"
Ji Bo saw that the old shopkeeper didn't know how to answer, so he pouted and quipped: "Actually, you are not familiar with Fang City at all, and you have never even been out of the lonely city, yes or no!?" β
"You...... You fart! β
The old shopkeeper glared at him in shame, patted his chest and said, "It's the No. 4 Fang City of Xianxia Mountain, which is closest to our lonely city, and the shopkeeper of Mo Yunxuan in it is surnamed Qiu, or my junior." β
"Oh?"
Ji Bochang was suspicious, and muttered with surprise on his face: "It's that I'm clumsy, I never thought that you still have such a relationship?" β
"Joke~ You've only eaten Lingmi for a few years?"
The old shopkeeper glanced at him disdainfully, how could he not know what he was thinking, and said arrogantly: "When the old man writes a letter, you take the letter to the shopkeeper Qiu, and she will help you." β
"You are old and respectable, and your hands and eyes are up to the sky."
Ji Bo often smiled and complimented, and said: "Don't worry, when I make a career in the future, I will not forget your old favor~"
"The sycophant who doesn't get up early is profitable..."
The old shopkeeper snorted coldly, and automatically ignored the second half of his sentence.
With the pen and ink in the store, he wrote a letter and handed it to him, then waved his hand and said as if he was provocative: "Get out, get out, don't delay my business." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Bo often drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and arched his hands, which was regarded as a farewell.
The old shopkeeper looked at his departing back, and his faint old eyes were full of helplessness, because he knew.
If you say goodbye today, it may be difficult to meet again...
seemed to be an explanation, and seemed to be a blessing and said: "If you have time in the future, come back and see, if I die first, you have to write "Taoyuan Travel" and burn it to me." β
"Don't worry~"
Ji Bo often said narrowly: "In addition to "Taoyuan Travel", I will burn two more paper fairies for you to accompany you~"
"Bastard boy!"
"Gone~"
After leaving Moyunxuan, Ji Bochang wanted to go directly to Fang City, but then he thought that there seemed to be an old friend who did not say goodbye, and immediately turned to Chunyin Fang...
"Yiyi, where's your mother?"
ββ¦β¦β
After a while, Liu's mother, who was still charming, shook the palace fan to greet her, and when she saw the visitor, she said in a strange tone: "Ouch, isn't this a Ji official?" β
"Huh?"
Ji Bo often raised his eyebrows and twisted her buttocks, and joked in a teasing tone: "I haven't seen each other for two years, but the flexibility has not diminished back then, how did you become a yin and yang person?" β
"How dare the concubine Yin and Yang, you Ji Daguan~"
Mother Liu waved the palace fan and slapped away his tofu-eating hand, and snorted coldly: "After tasting the taste of fairies, it has disappeared for two consecutive years, how can we, ordinary women, be able to enter the eyes of your Ji Daguan again~"
"Well, no kidding..."
Ji Bochang sighed, and said with a straight face: "Yingying, I'm going to Fang City, and I'm here to say goodbye to you today." β
ββ¦β¦β
Mother Liu couldn't help but lose her mind when she heard the long-lost 'Yingying', and the swinging palace fan in her hand also paused in mid-air.
The ridicule and ridicule on her face gradually disappeared, and she was silent for a while before asking, "Are you serious?" β
"Yes."
"When are you leaving?"
"I can't say."
"That ......"
Mother Liu seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't speak, and after hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then go to the private room, and I'll discuss the itinerary with you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Bochang looked at the old friend in front of him with a look of expectation and shyness, and couldn't help but be in a trance, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago...
He nodded and smiled, "Good! Do you want to touch up your makeup? β
"You go first, I'll touch up my makeup."
Mother Liu also smiled when she heard this, and then took coquettish steps to the backstage of the makeup touch-up in the workshop, just like the first acquaintance more than ten years ago...
Not much.
In the private room of Chunyinfang...
The two who reunited again began to discuss the itinerary, Liu's mother originally proposed to revisit the old road, while Ji Bochang's idea was even bolder, proposing that the old, the old, and the new go hand in hand.
Seeing him so bold, Liu's mother seemed to be provoked, and immediately used the experience accumulated over the years to confront him, and she did not fall behind for a while.
After a long time, Ji Bo's often smug voice came from the private room: "I admit that you are very strong, but compared to me, who has achieved great achievements, you are still a little immature. β
