"Are you going to advance to the sixth level of Qi refining? What a joy!"
Hearing this, Xuanjizi's eyes brightened slightly and he congratulated.
Ling Xiao smiled in surprise.
He knew in his heart that Xuanjizi was marveling at his talent again.
How did the other party know that the reason why Ling Xiao cultivated so quickly was mostly due to his constant consumption of spiritual food every day!
Although each of the optimized recipes of Xuangui Sanren can only increase the spiritual energy absorption efficiency by 10% or 20%, you can't help but add up to a small amount!
"It seems that for a long time, Pindao has not been able to eat crucian carp soup. Next time you come, remember to make up for what you owe!" Xuan Jizi's tone was a little regretful, but he did not forget to remind him.
Ling Xiao laughed, "Of course!"
In order to thank Qingfengguan, he did occasionally bring a few molten crucian carp over, but that was just for a taste.
Qingfengguan has a manufacturing relationship with many shops in Linfeng City. They have a big business, so how could they care about his three or two molten crucian carps.
The two of them walked out of the yard while talking and laughing.
After more than half a year of getting along, the two sides are no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning, and they have a vague relationship of being both teachers and friends.
"By the way, why haven't you seen Brother Ma these days?"
"He was invited by the Yamen to help investigate the Yuye Butcher case."
"I see……"
Ling Xiao nodded.
The haze of death still hangs over people's heads.
It was rumored that Zifengtai had sent a large number of disciples to search everywhere, but they were still unable to pinpoint the whereabouts of Yuye Butcher.
The Rainy Night Butcher is still at large.
"This person's modus operandi and pattern of committing crimes are more changeable and elusive than those of the previous one. He is no longer limited to committing crimes on rainy nights, and he is no longer limited to one killing method."
When Xuanjizi said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Not only Ma Ying, but also Xuan Jizi was often invited to participate in inspections, so he knew much more about the Yuye Butcher case than Ling Xiao.
"However, this beast can't be free for long. The foundation-building monks are coming." Xuanjizi said.
Ling Xiao curled his lips and disagreed.
When the foundation-building monk comes, won’t people run away?
"Only by improving your strength can you survive."
he murmured.
Xuanjizi took a deep look at him, nodded and said, "That's the truth."
That's why Ling Xiao practiced so hard.
In the past six months, Xuanjizi witnessed Ling Xiao's transformation from a novice in making talismans to an excellent talisman maker who was proficient in many kinds of talismans.
Even though Ling Xiao was very conservative when describing his success rate of making talismans, saying it only fluctuated around 30%, it still gave Xuan Jizi a huge shock!
In half a year, he practiced seven other spells except Fireball to the point of proficiency. This level of understanding is rare in the world!
He had lamented to Ling Xiao more than once that he shouldn't have chosen to exercise.
If Ling Xiao practices magic, with his talent, he will definitely have great potential in the cultivation of talismans!
Every time Ling Xiao heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
Taoist Master, not everyone has a choice.
As a casual cultivator, it is extremely precious to have an excellent technique to practice. There is no room for pickiness.
Moreover, he has already gone through a re-cultivation of San Gong, and it will be more difficult than before to go back to practice magic.
Everyone has only one chance, and this is the fate of a monk.
Unless he can cultivate to the foundation building stage, his body will undergo transformation after cutting off the hair and cleaning the marrow.
"Taoist Master, stay!"
"Okay. I wish you a successful breakthrough!"
Xuanjizi watched Ling Xiao go down the mountain with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
In his opinion, Ling Xiao's inability to rebuild his magic power was a pity for a good young man.
A Taoist boy rushed over quickly and asked breathlessly: "Master, has Master Ling come down the mountain?"
Xuanjizi laughed dumbly and caressed the Taoist boy's head, "I just came down the mountain. What, you want to ask someone for advice again?"
The boy's face turned red and he smiled awkwardly, "It's okay. Master, it's the same even if you're here."
Seeing this, Xuanjizi couldn't help feeling angry, and said, "Nonsense! You clearly feel that my teacher's answers are not as good as those of Donor Ling. Otherwise, why wouldn't you come to see me, instead of running to Donor Ling every day?"
As he talked, Xuanjizi was speechless.
As Ling Xiao stayed at Qingfeng Guan for a longer time, his reputation as a genius for making talismans somehow spread to the ears of many Taoists.
At first, there was a Taoist boy who encountered difficulties in the talismans but couldn't find a secret to solve the puzzle, so he simply went to Ling Xiao to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao kept no secrets and answered all questions. In just a few words, he got to the crux of the problem and solved the Taoist's doubts, which made people feel enlightened!
Moreover, the answer is better than Xuanjizi!
For a moment, Qingfengguan exploded.
Whenever the Taoist boys have questions about talismans, they run to the small courtyard and ask Ling Xiao for advice.
Even sometimes, when Xuanjizi was there to help them solve their doubts, they would look at Ling Xiao eagerly, seeking supplements, which made Xuanjizi very angry.
But after hearing Ling Xiao's addition, Xuan Jizi's anger disappeared and he was deeply impressed.
It's not that Ling Xiao's answers are more accurate than Xuan Jizi's, but that Ling Xiao's terms and explanations are often easier to understand than Xuan Jizi's, and it's easier for Taoists to understand them.
He seemed to be a born teacher.
Such a talented person, but limited to physical training, how could he not let Xuan Jizi choke.
Shaking his head, he led the Taoist boy back to the temple.
"Master, Senior Brother said that Donor Ling was a spy from another sect. Is it true?" Tao Tong suddenly asked.
Xuanjizi's feet froze.
Xuan Jizi has not thought about the question of whether Ling Xiao is a spy of another sect for a long time.
Although the fact that this son stayed at Qingfeng Temple to make talismans seemed extremely strange and strange, and it was difficult not to make people think of it, but it had been more than half a year. If he was really a spy, he should have taken action long ago.
However, after half a year of "surveillance", no one at Qingfengguan could find any evidence that Ling Xiao was a spy.
First of all, Ling Xiao only came to Qingfeng Temple to do three things, either to practice spells, to make talismans, or to answer questions for the Taoists, and not to do anything else.
Secondly, Ling Xiao never left the small courtyard, and he never even entered the houses in the courtyard.
Finally, and more importantly, Ling Xiao almost never inquired about Qingfeng Temple.
Logically speaking, it would be easy for Ling Xiao to get some information about Qingfeng Temple from their daily contact with Taoists.
Xuanjizi initially thought that Ling Xiao only answered various questions generously to gain the trust of the Taoists.
However, nothing like this has ever happened.
Ling Xiao never talked much with the Taoist boys. He would only occasionally talk about so-and-so growing taller, ask if he had a girlfriend, etc. The topic was completely nutritious!
How can there be a spy? Is this the case?
Thinking of this, Xuanjizi said in a deep voice: "Don't be unreasonably suspicious! Tell Ma Ying not to publicize similar things again, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Donor Ling."
"yes!"
The Taoist boy responded happily.
"Also, tell them that Donor Ling won't be coming over recently. If you have any questions, just come and ask me directly."
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the Taoist boy's face suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Xuanjizi laughed angrily at him, couldn't help but slap him on the forehead, and shouted: "I've rebelled against you, and you still can't trust me as a teacher?"
"No...I know..."
The Taoist boy left angrily, preparing to read out the news like a bolt from the blue.
Xuanjizi's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but glance at the place in the courtyard where Ling Xiao usually sat.
"Time will tell people's hearts. Maybe he is really harmless, or maybe, it hasn't lasted long enough."
A faint sigh drifted away in the sunset.
