Chapter 5 Lin Shuang
Fan Yue wanted to talk to Ning Ruoxi, but was stopped by Jiang Xi, "Second senior brother, I don't understand some of the cultivation insights that the master said. Can you teach me more?"
"This... okay!" Fan Yue was a little embarrassed, but looking at Jiang Xi's pitiful appearance, he couldn't refuse.
"Second senior brother is the best!" Jiang Xi cheered.
Ning Ruoxi left Wanling Peak quickly. Many people pointed at her along the way. She really didn't expect to become famous in this way.
But it doesn’t matter.
Loneliness is indispensable on the road to immortality. There are too many interactions with others and just as many worries, which affects the Taoist heart.
"It's hard to leave the cave today, why not go to the sect market?" Ning Ruoxi has been cultivating for so many days, and her cultivation has improved very slowly, and further retreat will probably not have much effect.
This also shows that if you want to become an immortal, talent is really important.
The sect's market is organized by each disciple. Everyone can sell some items they don't need there, shop for spiritual stones, or exchange items.
Ning Ruoxi wants to change her spiritual stones. She has five middle-grade spiritual stones on her body. The spiritual power in the middle-grade spiritual stones cannot be absorbed by her current cultivation level, but she can absorb it if she replaces them with low-grade spiritual stones.
"It's really lively!" There are disciples from the Seven Peaks of the Immortal Sect in the Zongmen Market. The chance of Ning Ruoxi being known by the Wanling Peak disciples here is much smaller.
The disciples in the seven peaks are not connected to each other. Unless it is a sect conference or other activities, they rarely communicate with each other.
Ning Ruoxi saw some people selling spiritual weapons and some selling spiritual treasures. In short, there were many kinds of things. She didn't know whether they were worth anything.
"Huh?" The spiritual power in Ning Ruoxi's body became active inexplicably, as if something was guiding her.
She walked to a stall and stopped. The spiritual power in her body became more active, and was about to burst out if she didn't suppress it.
Ning Ruoxi activated her skills to suppress the fluctuations in spiritual power. A jade pendant on the stall attracted her attention, as if the fluctuations in spiritual power in her body were related to this jade pendant.
"How do you sell this jade pendant?" Ning Ruoxi asked the stall owner.
The stall owner was a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He said to Ning Ruoxi: "I don't know what effect this jade pendant has. I got it in a secret realm. I'll sell it to you for fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones." ! ”
Ning Ruoxi frowned, "You don't even know the efficacy of selling low-grade spiritual stones for fifty yuan? Are you trying to steal the spiritual stones!"
"Then how much do you want to bid?" The young man actually understood that he was speaking loudly, but the price of selling things was always higher, so if you find it too expensive, you should negotiate the price!
"A low-grade spiritual stone."
The young man's face darkened, "Girl, are you bargaining too hard? Why didn't you tell me to give you this jade pendant?"
Ning Ruoxi nodded, "It's not impossible, then are you willing to give it to me?"
"..." The young man said tentatively: "Ten low-grade spiritual stones?"
"Deal!" Ning Ruoxi agreed readily.
The corner of the young man's mouth twitched, it seemed that the price was quoted low.
Ning Ruoxi took out a middle-grade spiritual stone. The young man was a little confused, "I don't have that many low-grade spiritual stones here!"
"How about you pick something else?"
"Other things?" Ning Ruoxi looked at the rest of the items on the stall. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were just scraps of metal. They didn't feel like they were precious.
"Forget it, just this sword!"
Ning Ruoxi pointed at a long sword casually.
The young man took a look and said, "This is a low-grade Huang-level spiritual sword. Isn't it expensive to sell you fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones?"
"Not expensive!" Ning Ruoxi knew that the price of a low-grade Huang-level spiritual weapon was at this price.
"I'm looking for you forty low-grade spiritual stones."
The young man took out the spirit stone from his storage bag and gave it to Ning Ruoxi.
"Girl, come here often when you have time!" Ning Ruoxi rolled her eyes, "Then you have to prepare some good treasures."
"You came late today. All the good ones have been picked up by others. Come earlier next time if you have a chance."
When the young man saw that Ning Ruoxi could produce a medium-grade spiritual stone, he thought that her identity or financial resources were extraordinary, so he said these few words.
Ning Ruoxi nodded, "There is a chance."
Later, Ning Ruoxi found a place to exchange spiritual stones. One medium-grade spiritual stone was exchanged for one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and five low-grade spiritual stones were extracted from each medium-grade spiritual stone as a handling fee.
Now she only has 420 low-grade spiritual stones left in her hand.
After leaving the Zongmen Market, Ning Ruoxi returned to the cave. She took out the jade pendant she bought and examined it carefully. The spiritual power in her body gradually began to fluctuate again. There was definitely something weird about this jade pendant.
Ning Ruoxi tried to send a spiritual force into the jade pendant, and the jade pendant glowed brightly.
Suddenly, the surrounding scene changed, and she found herself in a glacier, with a white figure on the top of the glacier.
The figure seemed to have seen Ning Ruoxi, approaching her like a ghost.
Ning Ruoxi subconsciously touched her arms to take out the spiritual weapon from the storage bag, but found nothing.
"Where's my storage bag?"
The white figure was within easy reach, and Ning Ruoxi could see clearly the true appearance of the white figure.
This is a woman, she is wearing a long dress as white as snow, her face is delicate and beautiful, and her skin is as white as mutton-fat jade.
"Hello!" The woman smiled at Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi did not dare to let down her guard, "Who are you?"
The woman explained: "My name is Lin Shuang. I have no ill intentions towards you. I was the one who affected the spiritual power in your body before."
"Where is this place? Wasn't I in a cave just now?"
Lin Shuang nodded, "You are also in the cave now. This is the space inside the jade pendant, a false realm. It's just that your consciousness was pulled in by me."
"Why are you dragging my consciousness in?" Ning Ruoxi looked at Lin Shuang without knowing why.
"I want to accept you as my disciple, what do you want?"
"Accept me as your disciple? What do you want?"
"What you see now is just a remnant of my soul. I want to accept you as my disciple and help me avenge myself if I have the opportunity in the future."
Ning Ruoxi frowned, it sounded a bit dangerous and thankless!
"No need, I can still practice by myself."
"No, the method you practiced before was wrong, so your cultivation level improved very slowly."
Lin Shuang's eyes shone brightly, "You obviously have a single ice spirit root, but your cultivation speed is the same as that of a mixed spirit root. Don't you want to know the reason?"
Ning Ruoxi looked a little moved. Lin Shuang was right. Logically speaking, the cultivation talent of a single spiritual root is high, and the realm can be improved quickly.
But her realm improved very slowly, not at the normal speed. Because of this, she was criticized by her senior brother and master for being lazy.
In fact, this is not the case. Ning Ruoxi practices really hard on weekdays.
"Your talent has been buried. Become your teacher and I will teach you how to practice!"
Lin Shuang's words rang in Ning Ruoxi's ears like a magic spell, and Ning Ruoxi's heart moved.
