Chapter 14: Snatching the Opportunity
"Ah Zi, look, is this hairpin good-looking?" Zhang Yingying took a ruby hairpin on the stall and looked at Tao Zi expectantly, hoping that she could say that it was good-looking.
"It's good-looking, of course Yingying is better-looking!" Yingying still looks like a child, but Tao Zi likes her like this.
"Well, you haven't seen you for a few months, and you dare to make fun of me! She glanced at Tao Zi with disgust, then turned her gaze to the stall owner.
"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this hairpin?"
This hairpin was found in an ancient cultivation cave, and if it weren't for poverty, it wouldn't have been sold. The stall owner is a ruined middle-aged Taoist priest, and he sees that Zhang Yingying likes to try her best to make a painful look of love.
"Poof!" Tao Zi couldn't help but smile when he saw him like that, "Okay, Daoyou, how many hairpins and this pair of earrings are there?"
"The fairy is also a good eye, although the material of this earring is different from this hairpin, but it was found in the same ancient cultivation cave mansion, they are all extraordinary!" The stall owner made a very embarrassed look, and said: "Seeing that the two fairies really like it, Feng will lose a little by himself and collect two thirty spirit stones!"
"What! Just a broken hairpin and broken earrings without any spiritual energy, it actually costs thirty spirit stones? Are you stupid?" Zhang Yingying couldn't help it first.
"Cough" The stall owner's face was a little red, thinking that you were wearing the Taoist robe of the Hexu Sect, and the words "ignorant of the world" were almost written on your face, who would you fool if you didn't lie?
"Ten spirit stones, if we don't sell them, we'll go elsewhere. "How can girls have beauty that they don't like, Tao Zi is naturally no exception, but it is impossible for them to be wronged.
"Well, okay, okay, let's make a good relationship with the two fairies. Ten pieces is ten dollars. The stall owner finally relented.
Zhang Yingying handed over ten spirit stones with a smile, but was stopped by Tao Zi, Yingying is still only an outer disciple, and the monthly quota is limited, and this money cannot be let out.
The stall owner knotted Tao Zi's ten spirit stones, handed the hairpin to Zhang Yingying, and prepared to put the earrings into the storage bag.
"Wait!" At this moment, a red-clothed figure suddenly arrived, followed by five or six male disciples wearing Taoist robes with their ancestors.
"This fellow Daoist, I like this hairpin and this earring very much, how much do you sell them to? I am willing to give double the spirit stone!" said the red-clothed nun and stall owner who led the way.
"This ...... This fairy, I and other cultivators value credibility, this hairpin and earrings have just been sold, and now the fairy should discuss with these two fairies if they want to buy it. "Although Feng Youcai is greedy for money, he is not without a bottom line.
Only then did the woman in red turn her eyes to Tao Zi and the others, and saw that the two of them were also wearing the Taoist robes of the Hexu Sect and smiled arrogantly: "Two junior sisters, I am willing to buy the hairpin and earrings just now at double the price, and ask the two of them to cut their love." ”
This tone turned out to be not a consultation but an order.
"I'm sorry, this senior sister, since it is the beloved thing of the two of us, how can I cut my love for the sake of a mere spirit stone. "Hmph, is it better than the spirit stones? The spirit stones in a storage bag given to her by the master alone are enough for her to squander, not to mention the ones given by the master.
"You!" Cong Rong didn't expect a small Qi Refining Stage disciple to dare to do this to her. But she must get this hairpin and earrings, because this hairpin is not something else, it is a Ningxin hairpin with the effect of calming the mind and clearing the heart, and this earring is even more extraordinary, and it has the effect of helping to break the illusion.
So she won't let go of either of these two. Her originally arrogant face suddenly became crying, and she looked at the few male cultivators behind her aggrievedly, as if she had suffered a great difficulty.
"Hmph, what kind of miscellaneous disciple are you who don't have long eyes, do you think that you can pull the tiger skin and pull the banner by wearing my Hexu Sect's Taoist robe? "The male cultivator who spoke was called Zhang Ziyang, and he was already in the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and the male cultivators who pursued Congrong were all headed by him, which made him feel even more responsible.
Today is the first time they have gone out since joining the sect, and they have not purchased additional clothes, so they are indeed wearing the unified qi refining disciple robes of the sect, whether it is a personal disciple, an inner and outer disciple, or a miscellaneous disciple, it is not surprising that they are considered to be miscellaneous disciples, but pulling the banner of tiger skin, isn't it the first to come from Mr. Lu Xun?
"Hey, what do you mean, this is our thing, if we don't want to sell it, we won't sell it, what do you mean to present it to you, is she my mother, or are you my father, hum!" Zhang Yingying was so angry, I really had never seen such shameless!
"Oh, it turns out that Senior Brother actually thinks that I am a tiger skin in the Hexu Sect?" Tao Zi pulled Yingying behind him.
"Okay, good, toast and don't eat and drink, I can't clean you up here, but as long as you are in the sect for a day, I have you looking good!" Zhang Ziyang gritted his teeth angrily, but unfortunately this is a fang market within the sect, and you can't fight martial arts, otherwise...... Hum.
"Okay, senior brother actually knows that I am the most punishing wine, then I will wait!"
"Sister Rong, let's go!" Zhang Ziyang had to glare at the two of them resentfully, and pulled Congrong away.
Take it, take it away, you won't sacrifice it anyway, it's just an ordinary thing. Cong Rong thought as she walked, there should be one named Zhang Yingying, she was just cannon fodder, and in the end she got good things but didn't have the life to enjoy them, so she was so fearless to snatch the opportunity, but who is the other one? There has never been such a number one character in the original book...... Could it be that she has been watching it for too long to remember?
"Oh, it's so unlucky, where did these nasty ghosts come from!" Zhang Yingying dragged Tao Zi out of the stall irritably, she had to find something delicious to comfort herself.
"Ah Zi, come with me to eat cyclamen, I heard the senior sister in the same room say that the taste here can only be in the sky. ”
Is food the cure for all unhappiness?
"Well, I'm just going to try it often. Tao Zi naturally won't spoil the fun anymore.
So, after the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Tao Zi went to Baicao Pavilion to buy the remaining two spirit grasses for refining bodies, and then left Fang City with Zhang Yingying.
She is still in the second layer of qi refining, but the refining has not yet begun, and the refining of the body in the previous half year has barely expanded her meridians to a level that can withstand below the third layer, but if she wants to impact the fourth layer, she must complete the second layer of the "Purple Wood Forging Body Technique".
Each major stage of "Purple Wood Forging Body Decision" is divided into four small stages, such as the Qi Refining Period is divided into four small stages: one, two, three, and four, which correspond to the early stage of Qi refining, the middle stage of Qi refining, the late stage of Qi refining, and the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Refining the body must go first with the mental method, which means that if you want to hit the next level on the cultivation, you must first raise your physical fitness. Therefore, Tao Zi is ready to raise the body forging technique to the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi refining in one breath, although she is only in the early stage of Qi refining, but I believe that it will not take long to impact the middle stage, and it can also avoid the dilemma of encountering the impact of aura or sudden epiphany in the future, obviously the state of mind has arrived, but the body is not ready.
........................
Whew, it hurts!
It's like being cut by a thousand knives again, and it's not only the skin and flesh, but even the meridian bones are in pain. Tao Zi tried his best to keep the spiritual platform clear, but it was so painful that he couldn't even run the mantra.
It was blurry, and Tao Zi's skin and flesh were oozing blood. The teeth are rattling, not frozen, but painful.
The water in the bucket became redder and redder, but Tao Zi's consciousness gradually sobered up.
After six hours, Tao Zi was finally able to run the "Purple Wood Forging Body Decision", and then it was another three days and three nights, and the water in the bucket was already muddy, and Tao Zi finally closed the situation.
She picked up her clean clothes and galloped towards the hot springs.
"Wow", and immersed yourself in the warm spring water to feel better.
Whew, the first layer of light hurts so much, and I don't know what will happen in the future......
After resting for a while, Tao Zi found that he was still wearing clothes, sticky and uncomfortable, and he should still have blood scabs on his body. So she took off her clothes and prepared to rub them well.
"Stop!" suddenly a man appeared from the other side of the hot spring.
"Damn, who!" and then there was an "ah", Tao Zi realized that it was a man, and he had taken a bath with a man just now!
The male cultivator quickly got up and quickly changed into dry clothes. When did there be someone here? And it's a woman.
Just now, when his divine sense sensed that someone was coming, he should have left, but the person came too quickly, and he saw a bloody man jump in with a "poof", and he could only dive to the bottom of the water, if he hadn't seen her preparing to take off his clothes, he wouldn't have come up.
"Didn't you know how to use your divine sense to probe before you went into the water?" his face was slightly red, but fortunately he didn't make a big mistake.
"Yes, I was about to ask you, couldn't your mind detect it before I went into the water?" This person was so good that he dared to question her first!"Besides, this is the scope of my cave, don't you feel ashamed to come here to bathe without the permission of your master?"
"Why? Isn't this place always ownerless? And since it's your cave, why isn't it even forbidden? "He has been here more than once or twice, and when he returned to the sect today, he was ready to take advantage of the moonlight to wash himself as before.
"Dare to quibble, I don't care who you are, please get me out of here. "It doesn't look like he is fake, and she just refined the body, and it is true that the scope of the prohibition has been narrowed, because the smaller the scope of the prohibition, the stronger the defense, so the safer the people inside, once the refining begins, it cannot be interrupted in the middle, so she will narrow the prohibition to improve the defense, and she really didn't have time to expand the scope of the prohibition when she came out of the blood bucket, so she couldn't wait to run to the hot springs...... Strictly speaking, she forgot......
The more I think about it, the more depressed I become, it really doesn't seem to be his fault......
"Okay, then please leave this fellow Daoist quickly, and please keep today's matter confidential from each other. In the end, Tao Zi could only hope that this person was a gentleman.
But why does this person seem to have seen it somewhere, the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes, but I can't remember where I saw it?
"Have we met somewhere?"
"Have we met somewhere?"
For a moment, the two asked the same thing.
