Chapter 25: The Spirit Stone Crisis
Xiao Yu and Xiao Jiumei are both children who work hard in cultivation, and they are not as playful as children in the world, so they insist on cultivating every day, and sometimes they don't rest for a few days. Cultivation is an extremely boring thing, but the two children are very accustomed to this kind of life.
On this day, when Xiao Yu woke up from her meditation, she found Xiao Jiumei sitting there alone in a daze, and she didn't even notice that Xiao Yu looked at her for a while, and the expression on her face was even more intriguing.
The two beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled, and the eyes were staring directly at the storage bag in their hands, but their eyes were scattered, obviously not focusing on what they saw, and there seemed to be a trace of embarrassment and shame on their faces, and they didn't know who had provoked this little aunt.
But if you look closely, it doesn't look like you're angry, which makes Xiao Yu even more puzzled in her heart, Zuihou Xiao Yu really couldn't help it, so she came to her, raised her little hand and shook it in front of Xiao Jiumei's eyes, which drew her attention to herself.
Xiao Yu saw her looking at herself, so she opened her mouth to ask her why she was in a daze here alone, Xiao Jiumei didn't seem to want to say at first, Zuihou was really entangled by Xiao Yu, so she said to Xiao Yu hesitantly: "Xiao Yu, we--when we lived together, the spirit stones that were rewarded were almost used up." Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, and then he realized that this was the case!
He thought in his heart: "You don't need such an expression when the spirit stone is used up!" He really didn't understand a little, if the spirit stone was gone, just find a way to earn it, and besides, the spirit stone was used up by two people, looking at the way she blushed after saying this, it seemed that it was her fault that there was no spirit stone, so Xiao Yu asked her the reason again, zuihou listened to Xiao Jiumei's words, he couldn't cry and laugh.
There is no spirit stone cultivation in the immortal cultivation world, which is equivalent to being embarrassed as not having rice in the pot among mortals, but when this happens, it should be a man who blushes!
After all, Xiao Yu has only been in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion for a short time, so he is not very familiar with everything here, in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, some of the branches with women as the main combat force are all headed by women, and in the Qinglong Fire Phoenix Hall, this situation is especially significant.
In the Qinglong Fire Phoenix Hall, the men are all cultivating wood attributes, which can only play a supporting role in battle, while women are all cultivating fire attributes with strong attack power** , So in the battle, it has always been the girl as the core, is the master, over time it has formed a situation that is dominated by women, whether in the battle or in life, naturally as the head of the house, let the people who follow her live a good life, which is a more face-saving thing in the world of cultivating immortals and the secular world, on the contrary, it is human nature to feel very embarrassed.
Xiao Yu didn't know much about these things, but Xiao Jiu Mei had lived in the Qinglong Fire Phoenix Hall for so long, and her concept had also changed, thinking that it was a very humiliating thing to not be able to give Xiao Yu enough spirit stones to cultivate.
Hearing Xiao Jiumei's words, Xiao Yu laughed for a while, how did this sound like he had become a soft eater, and he had to eat with peace of mind, but seeing Xiao Jiumei's depressed expression, he couldn't laugh, otherwise this little girl would have to cry angrily, and it would be difficult to coax.
So Xiao Yu said half comfortingly, half out of ideas: "Just a little spirit stone, it's a matter of time before it runs out, if there is no one, there will be no one, we are trying to find a way to make it, why bother with such a sad face! Other senior brothers and sisters will also encounter such things, just ask them the solution!"
Xiao Jiumei heard that Xiao Yu didn't blame her, and helped her come up with ideas, and her heart was warm. But when I thought of earning spirit stones, I couldn't help but feel depressed in my heart.
In fact, there are many ways to earn spirit stones in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, such as taking tasks in the task building of the Qinglong Fire Phoenix Hall, and after completing it, there will be a certain amount of spirit stone rewards, and the rewards are still very rich, but the cultivation of the two of them is too low, and there is no way to complete even the simplest tasks, and there is also to learn some auxiliary skills, such as alchemy, refining, Talismans and other items can be refined and sold, earning spirit stones, this way is the fastest way to earn spirit stones, but learning these auxiliary skills must have enough materials to practice, that is similar to burning money, although earning spirit stones is the fastest, but few people choose this way.
Zuihou is also a way that most core disciples will choose, that is, they go into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt demon beasts, obtain materials to sell, and exchange for a certain amount of spirit stones, this method is relatively less dangerous, and there is no need to invest too much capital, it is currently the most suitable way for two people to earn spirit stones, but even if the danger is low, it is not completely dangerous, and now the cultivation of the two people is not enough to explore the requirements, so Xiao Jiumei still explained these situations to Xiao Yu with a depressed face.
After Xiao Yu heard these words, he also looked helpless, what can be done if the cultivation is low, there is no way to open the spirit gathering array without spirit stones, there is no way to improve the cultivation if you can't open the spirit gathering array, and there is no way to earn spirit stones if you can't improve your cultivation, oops, isn't this a dead end! Xiao Jiumei listened to Xiao Yu's words, and nodded with a wry smile, so the two of them sat there thinking of a way, and they were not in the mood to cultivate.
Xiao Yu was thinking of a way on the side, he even thought of borrowing a spirit stone from someone else to use, but thinking of Xiao Jiumei's character, if this little girl asked her to borrow a spirit stone from her sisters, it is estimated that she would even have the heart to die, and the little girl would have a good face! Otherwise, she would not be so depressed, so the idea of borrowing a spirit stone was vetoed by Xiao Yu. But Xiao Yu always felt that it seemed that he had overlooked something important, but he couldn't think of anything for a while, and he had a hunch that as long as he thought about it, the problem in front of him would be solved.
Xiao Yu has a good habit, if there is no way to solve it for the time being, let it go first, and will not let such troubles affect his state of mind, even if there is no spirit gathering array, with the qualifications of the two people, I believe that there will be a breakthrough soon, and it is not too late to think about earning spirit stones at that time, and then he will turn over his storage bag to see what else can be used to exchange for a few spirit stones, although it is not necessary to have spirit stones to cultivate, but it is better than nothing!
As the saying goes, "If you have the intention to plant flowers, you will not sprout, and you will have no intention to plant willows and willows." Just after Xiao Yu gave up his thirst for spirit stones, he accidentally found two jade bottles in his storage bag, Xiao Yu smiled, the smile was very bright, the little ninth sister on the opposite side saw Xiao Yu's smile, but she was stunned, at this time, he was still smiling so happily, he really wanted to go up and slap this heartless guy, but he was a little reluctant to fight.
When Xiao Jiu Mei was depressed and didn't know whether to fight or not, Xiao Yu held a jade bottle in one hand, and shook it in front of Xiao Jiu Mei's eyes like a treasure, Xiao Jiu Mei was stunned at first, what is this little guy doing! How could I forget such an important thing, with these two bottles of Gathering Spirit Pill, the cultivation of both of them can be greatly improved, and I can even break through the current realm and reach the cultivation of the middle stage of Qi training, at that time, I will go into the mountains to collect medicine, hunt some low-level demon beasts, and there will be no problem in maintaining daily cultivation.
So Xiao Jiumei excitedly took a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill in her hand, and excitedly kissed Xiao Yu on the cheek, Xiao Yu was depressed in her heart, and let this girl take advantage of herself. But the current predicament finally had a solution, Xiao Yu was also very happy, and he didn't hate Xiao Jiumei kissing him, so he didn't dwell on this matter.
Xiao Yu opened the jade bottle and found that there were actually ten beads in it. The crystal clear Gathering Spirit Pill, he was delighted, and pondered, now this Gathering Spirit Pill is already the support of the two people, even if he takes these ten Gathering Spirit Pills, although his cultivation will be improved, but it will not be of much help for future exploration, if all the Gathering Spirit Pills are left to Xiao Jiumei, maybe she will be able to break through the barrier of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period and reach the fifth layer, so that the two of them will be more secure in the process of exploration.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate too much, and handed the bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill in his hand to Xiao Jiumei, which made Xiao Jiumei surprised for a while, blinked at Xiao Yu with a pair of big watery eyes, and shook the jade bottle in his hand, which means to say: "I have already obtained the Gathering Spirit Pill, don't give it to me anymore!"
The two of them have been getting along day and night for a few months, so Xiao Yu easily understood her thoughts from her cute appearance, so he explained to Xiao Jiumei very carefully the reason why he did this, and when he heard Xiao Yu's explanation, although Xiao Jiumei felt that it was very reasonable, she still didn't take the jade bottle in Xiao Yu's hand, and her face was a little angry.
Xiao Yu realized that this move must have hurt the little girl's self-esteem, just like a strong man, not only can't give his woman money to spend, but also asks for money from a woman, even if he knows that he loves him, but it's a little sad to say it.
Xiao Yu was reluctant to make the little girl feel uncomfortable, so she thought of a lot of reasons to let the little girl take the five spirit pills, but the remaining five pills, Xiao Jiumei said that she would not ask for anything, Xiao Yu had no choice but to leave the five pills and take them herself.
That's fine, I am now the cultivation of the second layer of the Qi refining period, and after taking the pill, I should be able to reach the realm of the third layer of the Qi refining period, although it will not be so powerful, but I have a certain amount of self-protection power, and I will not lag behind when the time comes, such a result seems to be acceptable, so the two of them were very happy, and began to meditate in the practice room to recover mana, and began to prepare for refining the pill.
