Chapter 90 Xiuxiu
"Has anyone deduced the origin of my whereabouts?"
"Or is it that I was involved in the deduction?"
"Who could it be?"
Lin Bai touched his chin and considered it carefully.
Since he came to Xinyi Square, he has always been kind to others. Even if he is a casual cultivator with a lower level of cultivation than himself, he will never offend him.
Zhu family? But Senior Zhu Jianyang regards me as his nephew, and today he asked me to refine the Essence-Reinforcing Pills. He was obviously cultivating me intentionally and wanted to form a good relationship.
Is it the Jiang family? His family is quite upright and they are from the Jindan family. Even if they find me secretly refining elixirs, they will not take it seriously at all. As for Girl Jiang, she does have a bit of fun, but she shouldn't be that boring. Besides, I still don’t know what her destiny is. Judging from her daily behavior, it probably has nothing to do with numerology.
Is there something wrong with Sister Ning? Are the people from the Tianchi faction asking? This is not right. When she entered the Tianchi Sect that day, she was forced to confess her truth. If something really happened, she would have done everything. Just come and get me. There is no need to be so long-winded.
If there is a slightly dirty person, it is the neighbor Yang Xiang. But they had already talked about it that day, without even saying anything excessive. After accepting Yang Xiang's apology, the two of them shook hands and talked happily.
Who else? Did you accidentally offend someone while participating in a Taoist meeting? When I see a dog, I just keep walking away from it, even bowing and saluting. I also pay attention to my words and have not offended anyone.
Now that Lin Bai has gained more knowledge, he realizes that there are very few people who are proficient in the science of numerology.
Firstly, there are too few people whose natal destiny is compatible with the study of numerology, and if people whose natal destiny is not compatible want to learn, it will inevitably be half the result with half the effort, so very few people take the trouble to learn.
Secondly, this way is difficult to learn and difficult to master. It is mysterious and mysterious. Without the guidance and guidance of seniors, it is easy to go astray.
"But looking at how small the watery white line is, there must be a Qi practicing monk behind it."
"Who's little Lianqi wants to mess with me?"
Just as Lin Bai was thinking about it, he saw a moon-white light spot appear again on the fog outside the stone plate, and then extended into a line, but soon disappeared again.
It lasted shorter than the time just now, so the opponent must have exhausted all his strength.
"The other party seems to be a bit of a loser."
"It's ridiculous to practice a little qi."
Lin Bai was arrogant, but he was very honest. After thinking about it for a long time, he got nothing.
Anyway, there should be no danger for the time being. If something threatens your own life, you should feel it. Unless the other person is in a greater realm than you are, or his destiny is unique.
"At what state can I reach and push back along the line on the fog?"
Opening his eyes, he left the cave and went out for a stroll.
As usual, the little girl from the Jiang family likes to pimp someone out. The other Qi Practitioners of the Jiang family also know etiquette and prudent manners, and feel distant, which is normal.
But Yang Xiang was still missing. Lin Bai asked several neighbors, but they didn't know.
After noon the next day, Lin Bai went to attend the Taoist meeting.
In a garden pavilion at the Jiang family's cave property, not far from his own cave, there were all Qi practicing monks.
There were only nine people here, the oldest was in his fifties and the youngest was fifteen or sixteen years old.
The ones with the highest level of cultivation are those in the later stage of Qi training. There were three female cultivators, and one of them knew her. She was the one who was seduced and tricked by Jiang Xiaobai that day. She was in her early twenties and in the early stages of Qi training.
The pavilion is not big, with stone tables and benches in the middle for everyone to sit or stand.
Sitting on the stone bench was an experienced Taoist, about fifty years old, who was sharing some of his experiences in cultivating Ruyi Jingxin Jue. Everyone was listening attentively.
Lin Bai participated in many Taoist meetings, and eight out of ten times it was this person who got the better of him. The old monk's surname is Wang. He doesn't know what to do for a living. He has a kind face and a good purpose. He has the highest cultivation level in the field. He tries his best to answer any questions in Taoist meetings. He has some prestige among many casual cultivators.
After the old cultivator surnamed Wang explained the Ruyi Jingxin Jue, several people started to inquire, and they were all very polite.
The monk surnamed Wang said everything he knew, and he was obviously a virtuous man.
After this, it comes to the point of exchanging what is needed. Mainly the casual cultivators exchange information, or buy some Qi-nourishing pills, Qi-condensing pills, or talismans, which are slightly cheaper than in stores.
But it's all just a small fuss, not worth it.
"Everyone, do you know where Taoist friend Yang Xiang has been recently? I wanted to discuss Taoism with him, but I can't find him anywhere, and I don't know where he went. I really miss him so much." Lin Bai also asked.
Looking around, most people are shaking their heads. Even the experienced and well-connected old Xiu named Wang shook his head.
"Haha, if people climb high branches, they will naturally stop dealing with poor guys like us." A male cultivator in his thirties said.
It's just that his words were vague and he didn't elaborate. He only smiled obscenely, as if he had a deeper meaning.
"Could it be that Yang Xiang sold it to that boy?" Lin Bai was very smart and immediately thought of the old female cultivator who knew how to make talismans, or Girl Jiang who pulled the thread.
There is no way to ask in detail about this matter, and there is no need to ask in detail. Anyway, as long as it has nothing to do with him, Lin Bai doesn't care whether Yang Xiang sells it or not!
But thinking about that girl Jiang bragging about her Tiger Wolf Pills, I think Yang Daoyou knows how to drink water like a person.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, has anything unusual happened recently?" Someone looked at the old cultivator named Wang.
This old cultivator surnamed Wang is very popular and knows a lot of things. Everyone who participates in the Taoist meeting actually wants to hear some new things from him.
"Speaking of rare things, there really are some recently."
The old repairman surnamed Wang stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Do you remember that a while ago, Fangshi posted a patrol notice about rusty swords and iron?"
Lin Bai immediately acted like others were interested, and praised: "Of course I know! But Tie Huasheng was caught?"
The old Xiu named Wang glanced at Lin Bai, shook his head and said, "That's not true. I just discovered his whereabouts and cut off three of his accomplices. But Tie Huasheng escaped, which is really a pity."
Lin Bai felt relieved after hearing this. I'm afraid that Tie Huasheng will be caught and I will be exposed...
"That Tiehuasheng is in the late stage of foundation building and is very good at fighting. I wonder who he provoked?" Someone asked curiously.
The old cultivator surnamed Wang laughed and said, "There are rumors that the Iron Huasheng was so fierce that he killed the beloved disciple of Qu Chengjia, the Jindan elder of Yunxia Sect. Fellow Taoists, you may not know that Qu Chengjia, the elder of Qu Chengjia, but I have seen it. Passed. He is the most protective person. His actions are a bit biased... he's a bit too fiery." At this point, the old cultivator surnamed Wang quickly added, "Of course, Patriarch Qu has superb skills and high moral character, and he loves to support his younger generations. I respect him very much!"
After saying that, the old cultivator surnamed Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "Gao Yuanyuan, a golden elixir cultivator from the Yunxia Sect, is here, together with Gai Chengfei, an elder sword cultivator from the Tianchi Sect. The two golden elixir cultivators took action, and the Iron Transformation The time of life and death has arrived.”
When everyone heard that Jin Dan was mentioned, more than one person did not dare to speak loudly.
Lin Bai was also silent, but suddenly he thought that the person who deduced his whereabouts might be that girl Xiu Xiu. I didn't think about her at all before. Firstly, her cultivation days were still short; secondly, the knowledge of numerology cannot be gained overnight. Like Qu Ruyi, who was in the late stage of Qi training, Qu Chengjia was still unable to do anything.
However, now that Lin Bai heard others talking about Qu Chengjia, he had an intuition that it was Xiuxiu who did it!
"Comparing the traces Qu Ruyi left on the mist before, Xiu Xiu's talent is indeed higher than Qu Ruyi's!" Lin Bai thought secretly, and he wanted Xiu Xiu more and more.
Especially when facing the girl from the Jiang family every day, Lin Bai felt that Xiu Xiu was simply the most innocent and kind-hearted child in the world.
Everyone chatted for a while, and when the Taoist meeting was about to end, the old cultivator named Wang suddenly spoke.
"Fellow Taoists, do you want to earn some spiritual stones?" The old cultivator surnamed Wang said with a smile.
"What's the deal with Taoist brother?" A female cultivator immediately asked.
"It's like this. I recently discovered a secret cave. However, due to lack of manpower, I wanted to find a few colleagues to go with me." The old cultivator surnamed Wang said with a smile.
No one dared to respond. Even though Xinyi Square is safe and sound, outside this one-third of an acre, there are many evil people and many evil things.
The old cultivator surnamed Wang smiled and explained: "It's just a cave left by the foundation-building monks. It's not very dangerous. It's just that I have too few manpower, so I have to find someone to take care of me. I won't have to contribute when the time comes. I will only help with a little care. Just guard the entrance of the cave.”
Still no one said anything, no one even asked.
The old monk surnamed Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head, looked at a monk in his thirties, and asked: "Xiao Xu, are you willing to go with me?"
"Brother Wang, I've been practicing on the sixth level of Qi for a while, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go out." The man shook his head repeatedly.
The old cultivator surnamed Wang did not force himself, looked at Lin Bai again, and asked: "Where is fellow Taoist Yun?"
"Brother Wang, don't blame me. I have recently been learning to refine Qi-nourishing pills. I would never dare to go out for such an adventure." Lin Bai also shook his head and sighed.
Because we are going to Dihuo Cave Mansion next, we can’t hide the alchemy matter. And these days, Lin Bai often goes to Fengming Pavilion, and some of the neighbors here have noticed.
And even if you go out on an adventure, you have to be someone who knows the basics. To pull people in at will is really to treat people as fools.
Besides, this fellow Daoist Wang usually seems to have a lot of friends, so why is he temporarily joining the team now? Either others didn't go, or they went there, and just like the Zhu family, they were all in trouble.
Naturally, Lin Bai would never go. He would practice well at home, make elixirs by the way, and sleep with Sister Ning another day. He was living a beautiful life, so why go out and suffer?
The old cultivator surnamed Wang looked around. Just a moment ago, they were all listening to the secrets of the golden elixir with great interest. Now, they all shrank their necks and looked wilted.
"If we don't fight for the great road, how can we achieve it? We and other casual cultivators don't have the wealth and the land. But if the casual cultivators lose their courage, they are no different from rotten trees and rotten grass?" The old cultivator named Wang looked sad that he could not fight for it.
However, no one paid attention. Everyone lowered their heads and seemed not to hear.
After a while, a female cultivator suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Wang, are you really not in danger?"
This female revisionist was the one who was deceived by Jiang Xiaobai before. Lin Bai had no impression of her except that her surname was Huang.
The old cultivator surnamed Wang smiled and said: "What danger can there be in the place where a foundation-building monk fell? It's just a protective formation. Although I can't find anyone who can break the formation, I can always break it after a few days." Drop. ”
The female cultivator surnamed Huang was silent, lowered her head and pondered.
"What's the matter? Are you still worried that I can steal it?" The old cultivator surnamed Wang sneered, "How many spiritual stones do you have on you? Do you think I can bother you?"
"That's not what I meant!" The female cultivator surnamed Huang immediately apologized, "It's just in my heart...can you let me think about it?"
"I'm leaving in two days." The old repairman surnamed Wang said.
After the Taoist meeting ended, Lin Bai returned to the cave.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he saw the female cultivator surnamed Huang coming over, "Fellow Taoist Yun!"
"What's wrong with Daoyou Huang?" Lin Bai bowed and smiled, very kindly.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, I just heard you say that you are learning to refine Qi-nourishing pills..." The female cultivator surnamed Huang looked quite embarrassed, "I wonder if you can make it? Can you borrow some Qi-nourishing pills? I will definitely return them to you someday. ! ”
Are they all so poor? Can’t even afford Qi-nourishing pills? Lin Bai didn't even know what to say.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, it's dangerous to go out, are you really ready to go?" Lin Bai asked.
"I can't help it. I was deceived before I came to Xinyi Square. I haven't made any money in the past few days." The female cultivator surnamed Huang shook her head and sighed, feeling very depressed. "I have been searching for several days, but there is no one who can make a living. I can't sleep with anyone." I don't want to do...Now that I've reached the third level of Qi training, I feel like I'm just one breath away from reaching the fourth level, but I can't break it. I want to buy some Jingjing pills to see if I can get through. ”
Lin Bai nodded slightly and understood what she meant, which was that he was in urgent need of spiritual stones.
"Gujing Pills do help to break through, but after all, it is the effect of the elixir, which varies from person to person."
Lin Bai gave some persuasion, then took out three bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills and handed them over, saying: "It's not worth it, just take it."
Because Lin Bai had been thinking about Xiuxiu just now, he remembered Mr. Bai's advice again. Anyway, he could help as much as he could.
However, I didn't dare to take out the Qi Condensing Pill. After all, I wasn't very familiar with it, and there was no need to worry about something like the Qi Nourishing Pill.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Yun!" The female cultivator surnamed Huang took the Qi Nourishing Pill and bowed gratefully.
Lin Bai waved his hand and said, "Since you plan to go with us, as the person in charge, Wang Daoyou should prepare these for you. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I just want to be more prepared." The female cultivator surnamed Huang sighed, "Fellow Daoist Wang is right, the road needs to be fought for." At this point, she looked at Lin Bai and said, "You are a good person."< br>
Lin Bai said no more and returned to the cave to practice.
When we came to the stone plate, there was another moon-white light spot.
In the next five days, Lin Bai did not practice the Gujing Pills, but concentrated on practicing.
But for five days, moonlight spots appeared every day. As little as once, as many as two or three times.
"Isn't this girl free to practice with me?"
Lin Bai smiled.
"I don't know if I have finished the dried fruit snacks I bought for her. She is the most greedy. I don't know if she has gained weight or lost weight. I don't know if she has been bullied. Is it hard to practice hard..."
Lin Bai sighed, closed his eyes and left the stone plate, determined to start refining the elixir.
