Adventures in the Human World Chapter 27 Conversation
"It's not what you imagined, you said that it was an alchemist with a normal identity. In order to treat his seriously injured parents, my grandfather begged Zhengyang Sect to sell himself to become a Dannu on the condition that the sect master would help, and temporarily saved his parents' lives. Although they passed away in the end, we have lost our freedom since then, and we need to refine pills for the sect day and night, and we cannot participate in the alchemist qualification certification. If my sister and I hadn't advanced to the foundation building period, we wouldn't even be allowed to leave the sect. Shen Wanqing tactfully told her own experience, perhaps the two sisters have long been accustomed to their identities, and there is no dissatisfaction and resentment in their words.
"Then have you ever thought about leaving the Zhengyang Sect and getting rid of the identity of Dannu?" Zhou Xiang asked with concern.
"Why don't you want to? Actually, there are many ways to get rid of Dannu, as long as the Zhengyang Sect approves it, such as taking out a certain amount of spirit stones to redeem oneself, or making great merits, and finally cultivating to the Golden Pill stage. But since my sister and I advanced to the foundation building, alchemy has also risen a lot, and the tasks assigned to us by the sect have also increased. There is not much time for normal cultivation at all, if it weren't for the ancestral cultivation method in my family, which can absorb spiritual power through alchemy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make an inch of cultivation in this life. Shen Wanqing continued to explain, her black and white eyes and teeth complemented each other when she spoke, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Xiang was very uncomfortable when he heard this, the identity of this Danu is too inhumane, even if he cultivates to the foundation building period, he has no freedom, can't he escape? However, the Zhengyang Sect can accept the Dannu, and he can rest assured that the two girls will leave the sect to go out to do errands, which means that he has his own set of things that can restrain his subordinates.
While he was talking, the Danding next to him had reached a considerable heat. Shen Wanshuang took the Dragon Descending Wood, cut off a little from it, and threw it into the Dan Furnace. Inside the blazing Dan furnace, the small piece of dragon descending wood was supported by spiritual power and floated in the center of the ding, and under the high temperature, it slowly emitted a white cold air.
As Shen Wanshuang further increased the firepower, the temperature in the Dan furnace continued to rise, and the cold air emitted by the dragon descending wood also increased, gradually filling the entire Dan furnace, until after the tea time, the mist gradually disappeared. Seeing this, Shen Wanshuang slowly retracted her spiritual power, and the fire crystal also dimmed and no longer swallowed the flames, and the Dan furnace slowly cooled down. Then she rolled up her spiritual power, took out the dragon descending wood from the Dan furnace, and held it in front of her to take a closer look.
"Sure enough, it's a real dragon descending wood, hehe, sister, we finally found it!" Shen Wanshuang couldn't help but laugh out loud after confirming it.
"Really, I'll take a look!" Shen Wanqing hurriedly took the dragon descending wood from her sister's hand, "It's really exactly the same as the one introduced on the jade slip, if I had known that there was such a thing, we..."
"Knowing we can't afford it either. Shen Wanshuang poured cold water on the side.
Only then did Shen Wanqing remember that the dragon descending wood belonged to Zhou Xiang, but this medicine was of great significance to their sisters, and they were reluctant to let go, so they looked at Zhou Xiang with some pleading: "Brother Zhou, this dragon descending wood is very important to our sisters, because grandpa had an accident in alchemy, and there must be a dragon descending wood to help him recover, do you see if you can sell it to us cheaper?"
"I have a very close relationship with the two girls, and this dragon descending wood will be given to you. Zhou Xiang saw that Shen Wanqing was such a child, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
"Really!?Thank you, Brother Zhou, thank you, Brother Zhou!" Shen Wanqing heard Zhou Xiang's reply, and her face showed a look of surprise.
"Hmph, don't you have a crush on my sister?" Shen Wanshuang sneered on the side.
"Sister, Brother Zhou is not that kind of person!" Shen Wanqing hurriedly grabbed her.
"My sister is the most accurate to see people! However, you don't look like a bad person like Zhou Daoyou, if you really like my sister, hurry up and go to Zhengyangzong to redeem her body! After Shen Wanshuang finished speaking, she took the two pieces of dragon descending wood and received them in the storage bag openly.
Zhou Xiang didn't expect this woman to be so direct, but he was a little embarrassed.
Shen Wanqing looked at her sister shyly and disgustedly.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back to the city. Shen Wanshuang put away the dragon descending wood, looked up at the sky as if she didn't see the expressions of the two, and opened her mouth to suggest, and then her first sword flew up. Shen Wanqing and Zhou Xiang had no choice but to follow, and the three of them began to return.
On the way, Zhou Xiang took the opportunity to ask why the two girls came to Huaheng City to look for medicinal herbs, but Shen Wanshuang disdained to answer, and Shen Wanqing opened her mouth to tell the story.
It turned out that recently, all the first-class forces in the Northern Region suddenly began to refine healing pills on a large scale, and the Zhengyang Sect also received a task assigned by the upper forces, and their grandfather, as a Dannu, began to work in vain. Due to the urgency of the sect, Old Man Shen did not stop for a moment, and the dark disease accumulated in his body for many years finally broke out, and he suddenly fainted in the process of refining the elixir, and was injured by the fire crystal flames, and was deeply poisoned by the heat.
The life and death of a Danu will not be put in the eyes of the sect at all, but the head of the Zhengyang Sect is in a hurry to complete the task, and Old Man Shen's alchemy is very good, and he has been working hard all these years. Under the bitter pleading of the two women, the head of the family allowed them to go out to collect herbs to heal their grandfather's injuries, but the spirit stones needed to be solved by themselves. The two sisters didn't have any savings for so many years, so they thought of trying their luck in the mountains, but they were unexpectedly calculated by the bad guys and almost jumped into the devil's cave. Fortunately, Zhou Xiang rescued them and gave them the dragon descending wood that the two girls dreamed of. It can be said that in Shen Wanqing's heart, Zhou Xiang has become their god of luck.
The more Shen Wanqing and Zhou Xiang chatted, the more speculative they became, and when they returned to the city inn to separate, the two seemed to have a lot to say, but Shen Wanshuang stopped them on the side: "It's not early, we have to take a rest." Tomorrow, I have to rush back to the sect to heal my grandfather's wounds. Zhou Daoyou, if you really like my sister, then bring enough spirit stones to Zhengyang Sect to redeem her, we are waiting for you!"
Zhou Xiang took the opportunity to reply: "Your sister is simple by nature and naturally beautiful, and I also feel very sorry for your being a Dannu, but I don't know how many spirit stones are needed for your sect to restore your free body?"
"Do you really want to redeem yourself for us? I remember that last time there was a Dannu, and the sect received five million lower grade spirit stones before letting him go, and that was still due to his old age and the presence of the Yuanying Monk. Our sisters are all foundation building monks, and we can serve the sect for hundreds of years, so it is estimated that we will need 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones to redeem my sister, and we must have a great monk as a guarantee. So, if you really have an idea, in addition to preparing the spirit stone, you also have to ask the Yuanying Monk in your faction to come forward. Shen Wanshuang explained in detail, but for some reason, her expression was a little gloomy at the end.
Zhou Xiang nodded, it turns out that there are still these sayings for ransom? Lingshi himself is not lacking, the key is that there is no Yuanying in Sanqingmen, only Zhang Xuezhi, a god-transforming monk, but he can only get out of the customs after decades of old manhood. In this way, there is really nothing I can do in the short term.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you now. If you really have the intention, wait until you have gathered 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and then go back to the sect to invite the great monk to come forward, it will take a few years. My sister and I were waiting at the sect. But I can't guarantee that no other monk has asked my sister for marriage over the years, and if the sect agrees, then..."Shen Wanshuang spread out her hand, with a look of what you know.
"Sister!" Shen Wanqing on the side was a little uncomfortable.
"Sister is also for your good, do you want to be a Danu for the rest of your life? Okay, okay, that's all over, our sisters will return to the sect tomorrow. Zhou Daoyou, think about it carefully, and when you are ready, you will come to Zhengyang Sect to redeem people, or don't pester my sister! Although we are very grateful to you for saving your life, but the kindness is not worth eating. After speaking, she didn't wait for Zhou Xiang to respond, and pulled Shen Wanqing upstairs.
Shen Wanqing looked back at Zhou Xiang apologetically as she walked, but eventually disappeared at the end of the stairs.
Zhou Xiang looked upstairs and was stunned.
"This guest officer!" The shopkeeper who had been eavesdropping next to him came up and said hello when he saw this, "Although I don't know the origin of these two sisters, I took the liberty of persuading that a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones can buy a very beautiful mortal woman to make a furnace tripod, not to mention one hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones! That's tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones, and you can buy several female monks!"
Zhou Xiangyi raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper's kind reminder, and turned around and went back to his room.
There was nothing to say for a night, and the next morning, the Shen sisters left the inn, and before leaving, the sister left a sentence: "The accounts are all recorded in Zhou Gongzi, this is what he said." Then he drifted away.
Zhou Xiang stood at the door a little helpless, but there was no reason to step forward to follow, so he turned back to the room and began to meditate. After a long day, he was still a little lost, but his attention was still forcibly turned to the distance that was coming.
