Chapter 89: A New Look
The promotion of the Wenwu brothers has also been successful in the past few days, although the breakthrough process of the two of them has been slightly tortuous, but it is finally in danger, and they have barely reached the goal set by Ding Zhengyi.
Now that they are all meditating and practicing Qi in their respective residences, stabilizing their cultivation in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, Ding Zhengyi has already properly explained the precautions in this process, and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
The two brothers broke through to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and they shared a few Yellow Bud Pills before and after, plus some other auxiliary spirit objects and spirit stones, Ding Zhengyi's total consumption was only a hundred or so lower-grade spirit stones, which was not comparable to the value of a medium-grade Silver Silk Pill.
It can be seen from this that with the growth of cultivation, the resources consumed to assist cultivation and even break through are not at all above one level, and the difference between small ranks is several times or even dozens of times, not to mention the difference in major levels, which is simply unimaginable.
Through such a practical comparison, in the case of treating others with himself, Ding Zhengyi also deeply understands the powerlessness and hesitation in the patriarch's heart after the failure of the breakthrough.
Under this indescribable pressure, it is not surprising that Ding Changming has lost his temper and gone mad.
In the final analysis, all the crux of the problem is focused on cultivation resources, which is a difficult problem that every monk cannot avoid, and Ding Zhengyi is certainly no exception.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Ding Zhengyi buried these temporarily unsolvable worries in his heart, making them the driving force for him to increase his body cultivation and cultivation.
With the rapid improvement of the body forging technique, the explosive power contained in the skin and flesh became stronger and stronger, Ding Zhengyi gradually stepped into the right track of cultivation again, except for a few necessary things every day, he was immersed in the body refining and could not extricate himself.
Simple but fulfilling days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, days have passed.
Now that Ding Zhengyi has finally adapted to the weight on his body, he has been able to use his own strength reasonably, and his every move seems to be relaxed, no longer like when he first came back, he would accidentally crush his job.
At this time, the formation of the cultivation chamber was not opened normally as before, and Ding Zhengyi was rarely not indulged in body forging cultivation, this was because today was the day when he and his grandfather agreed to visit his eldest brother.
Enjoying this moment of leisure, Ding Zhengyi also reflected on the various gains and losses over this period of time, especially when he looked at the sleeping little ink feather eagle in the Spirit Gathering Array, a faint smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Xiaoqiu's voice suddenly came from downstairs, but there was obvious seriousness and restraint in his tone, which made Ding Zhengyi realize that it should be his grandfather who had come.
Without any further delay, Ding Zhengyi immediately opened the door and hurried to the living room downstairs, but as soon as he reached the staircase, he heard his grandfather chatting with Xiaoqiu uncharacteristically.
Ding Changshou seemed unhurried and impatient at this time, full of patience, and from his gentle voice, Ding Zhengyi could hear his attitude towards Xiaoqiu, as if he was facing his own nephew.
This kind of performance is very rare for Ding Changshou, as a high-ranking family elder, even in the face of the Ding family's descendants, he is usually quiet, and often slightly solemn and solemn.
However, for Ding Changshou's abnormality, Ding Zhengyi, as an insider, was not surprised at all.
In Ding Zhengyi's impression, his grandfather's attitude towards Xiaoqiu has changed twice, the first time from indifference to treating each other squarely, and then he looks like this in front of him, and he is almost warm and affectionate.
Xiaoqiu was an ordinary maid at the beginning, although she was quite loved by the Wu family and Ding Zhengyi, but in the eyes of Ding Changshou, she was naturally not worth mentioning, and she was treated as a little transparent when she met several times.
Until Xiaoqiu detected that he was born with a spirit body, the qualifications of the three spirit knots seemed ordinary, but with the addition of the fourth and fifth spirit knots, there was only one blocked spirit network, which seemed extraordinary.
For this kind of undoubted qualification of the five spirits, of course, it is difficult for Ding Changshou to ignore it, even in the entire Ding family, this qualification is also above average, and it can become the backbone of the family.
However, Xiaoqiu is not a member of the Ding family after all, and if he does not enjoy the resource subsidy, he is at most just a mid-stage Qi cultivation monk, and Ding Changshou's external performance is only limited to nodding when they meet.
And the root of the latest huge transformation comes from Xiaoqiu's talent for talisman making, and Ding Zhengyi originally wanted to hide it as much as possible in order to ensure her safety.
However, the consumption of talisman raw materials and the exchange of finished talisman seals will inevitably be exposed, and he can't justify himself at all, so he had to mention this matter to Ding Changshou alone.
Even so, Ding Zhengyi didn't dare to take out all of Xiaoqiu's legendary talent, after all, it was really a bit shocking, what he said was vague, but the self-sigh that he revealed intentionally or unintentionally was enough to make Ding Changshou's face change greatly and he was shocked.
A monk with a foreign surname in the middle stage of Qi training, or even in the late stage of Qi training, is not worth paying attention to for the Ding family, and a talented talisman maker is simply a moving cornucopia, and the two are not comparable at all.
It's not that Ding Zhengyi said it seriously, Ding Changshou thought he was coaxing himself to be happy.
Even so, Ding Changshou was only half-convinced, and it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that his sense of unreality was dispelled, and his gaze at Xiaoqiu was very different at that time.
Since then, Ding Changshou's attitude towards Xiaoqiu can be described as very different, not only is he no longer regarded as an outsider, but his care in and out of his words is enough to make the young juniors of the whole clan embarrassed.
Of course, Ding Zhengyi is happy to see this, but how can Xiaoqiu know the key to this, in the face of the elder who has not been smiling for so many years, she is suddenly kind to him, she is a little like sitting on pins and needles.
The embarrassed expression of Xiaoqiu at that time, Ding Zhengyi still remembers it vividly, and standing outside the living room at this time to make a little memory, he couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face.
After briefly reviewing the changes in the relationship between Ding Changshou and Xiaoqiu, Ding Zhengyi walked directly into the living room with his grandfather's earnest teaching.
At this time, Xiaoqiu's performance became much more decent, similar to her in front of Ding Zhengyi, and Ding Changshou could be regarded as having questions and answers, no longer fidgeting like before.
However, after Ding Zhengyi entered the door, Xiao Qiu's face still naturally showed a look of relief, and the two black jewel-like eyes rolled up and down, obviously the maturity and stability he had just now was just a superficial article.
"Grandpa, you're here so early?"
As soon as Ding Zhengyi's words fell, people appeared not far from Ding Changshou.
"Go early and return early, and besides, the eldest brother is old and frail, so it is not appropriate to let him wait for a long time. ”
Seeing Ding Zhengyi coming in, Ding Changshou's attention immediately shifted to him, and then explained casually.
It wasn't until the two of them answered that Xiaoqiu secretly sighed, and hurriedly stood aside, keeping her eyebrows low and silent.
"That's too, it's a bit out of place to let the elders wait, after all. ”
Ding Zhengyi followed his grandfather's wishes and agreed without thinking.
Since Ding Zhengyi showed his mouth in front of the Wenwu brothers a few days ago, Ding Changshou seemed to get the news quickly, and then came to him twice, obviously he was very concerned about the eldest brother's request.
However, because the breakthrough of the civil and military brothers was imminent, it was really not appropriate to be distracted by this matter, Ding Zhengyi discussed it with his grandfather, and only then set the time of the visit after they were promoted, which could be regarded as a grand gift to his eldest brother.
"You, you, you seem so insincere when you talk to me now, just like those old guys are as sleek, how come the respect for the elders has not been reflected before, and I have to invite three or four times to make the trip. ”
Ding Changshou was not confused by Ding Zhengyi's performance, and he did not successfully complete the eldest brother's request before, which made him full of resentment.
"In the past, I always focused on cultivation, but now I feel that it is also necessary to maintain family affection. ”
Seeing that his grandfather seemed to be unhappy, Ding Zhengyi no longer looked sloppy, and his answer was simple and realistic.
"Your kid's head is spinning so fast, sometimes even I can't see through it, who knows what you're up to now. ”
Ding Changshou pretended to be angry, but he was smiling, he was obviously extremely satisfied with Ding Zhengyi.
"Okay, it's good to focus on cultivation in everything, you don't need to pay too much attention to some small details, you can completely abandon these insignificant things for the sake of cultivation progress. ”
Maybe thinking of some things from the past, Ding Changshou slowly put away his smile and said with a serious Yin Yin on his face.
"Without further ado, let's go, I haven't been to see Big Brother for a while. ”
The mood seemed to have been affected inexplicably, Ding Changshou's mood was obviously a little low, and he didn't wait for Ding Zhengyi to speak again, so he got up and took the lead and walked out.
