Settlement in batches?
Bai Xiang and Kui Jieyuan looked at each other and nodded.
Having just been "blackmailed" by Ling Xiao three months ago, with the current financial resources of Linfeng City Branch, it is indeed quite difficult to eat this batch of goods in one go.
The two of them secretly praised Liu Junhuan for her thoughtfulness, but they didn't know that she had other ideas.
Ling Xiao shrugged: "Okay."
Anyway, he got at least 40,000 spirit stones from the Dawn Trial, and he currently has no shortage of spirit stone flowers.
As long as it can be settled.
Seeing his agreement, Bai Xiang and Kui Jieyuan were both happy.
This transaction went so smoothly, and Ling Xiao changed his "face" from the past, which was really unexpected!
Liu Junhuan smiled slightly: "Mr. Ling is very magnanimous. I thank you in advance. You three, Mr. Ling and I have something important to discuss. Can you lend me a favor?"
The three of them stood up immediately.
Before Bai Xiang and Kui Jieyuan left, they nodded to Liu Junhuan and told her to "ask for advice" from Ling Xiao.
After the three people left, Liu Junhuan's fragrant sleeves brushed by, and a light curtain suddenly rose in the room, blocking all outside sounds.
The tense expression on Liu Junhuan's face relaxed instantly, and he said with a smile: "I told the two elders that I pretended to ask you for advice, but in fact I took the opportunity to recruit you to join the religion. They were very happy!"
Ling Xiao laughed dumbly.
After a moment of silence, he asked: "Don't you want to drag me into the Red Sect?"
Liu Junhuan asked softly: "Do you want to join?"
Ling Xiao shook his head.
Liu Junhuan nodded and said, "If you don't want to, how can I force you?"
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
We saw each other every day before and didn't feel anything. But now we have been apart for seven days. After seeing each other again, I realize that there is a different feeling.
"Do you want to check my cultivation progress?" Liu Junhuan asked jokingly.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and immediately grabbed her wrist. His spiritual consciousness probed her and secretly sensed her.
At first he felt that Liu Junhuan's magic power was very weak, but after a few more explorations, he felt something strange.
This magical power was not weak, but was actually as subtle as silk and fluttering like wadding, making it impossible for anyone to sense it. He felt awe-struck, and after thinking for a moment, he had the answer.
"You are practicing very well." He said truthfully.
Liu Junhuan is a ghost body, and the exercises he practices naturally match those of a spiritual body, but they do not belong to any of the Five Elements techniques.
Let's see that she has only practiced for more than twenty days, and she has already made such progress, which is really miraculous and extraordinary.
Ling Xiao suddenly came to his senses when he thought of this.
Maybe he should practice this kind of technique before he can expel the little black ball in his body?
He opened his mouth and wanted to ask Liu Junhuan what kind of skills he practiced, but when the words came to his lips, he forced himself to hold back.
The secrets of martial arts are taboo among monks and must not be inquired about.
If Liu Junhuan answered truthfully, he wouldn't know what to do.
"I'll just have to explore in the future. Anyway, the little black ball won't run away on its own even if it's in my stomach."
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao calmed down, patted the storage bag, and took out a large box.
When I opened the lid of the box, I saw 4 Zilin rice balls lying squarely inside. At first glance, they looked ordinary, but when I smelled them, they smelled so delicious and fragrant that it made my index fingers tick.
"I brought this specially for you. Eat it. It's very spiritual."
Ling Xiao said.
Liu Junhuan felt very sweet in his heart, so he responded, picked up the rice ball and tasted it, all the flavors seemed to melt in his mouth, and immediately his lips and teeth were filled with sweet smell, and his heart was even more happy.
She ate slowly, but without stopping. It didn't take long for her to finish the rice ball, and she felt like a fire was rising in her belly.
She glanced at Ling Xiao gratefully, and immediately sat down cross-legged, running her exercises to refine the spiritual energy.
Ling Xiao did not bother her, but took out the jade slip he just bought for refining medicine and studied it.
One of them practiced hard, the other thought hard, and the room was quiet for a long time.
After more than an hour, Liu Junhuan finished his work, thought for a moment, and asked: "Ling Xiao, I feel that there is still some spiritual energy in my body, but I can't absorb it. What's going on?"
"It's not pure enough and cannot be converted into energy. It must be refined first by other methods."
Ling Xiao answered without raising his head. He threw something and it landed on the stone table with a clang. It was a jade embroidered knife.
Liu Junhuan suddenly realized it, and immediately picked up the knife, injected magic power into it, and started to control it.
This went on for a while.
The spiritual energy in her body really became pure, and she was slightly happy. She was even more happy that Ling Xiao took the initiative to lend her the jade embroidery knife. She thought about it for a while, and then quickly refined it and absorbed it.
The night passed like this.
Liu Junhuan originally had some worries about his daughter, but as he continued to practice, his mind gradually became calmer and he forgot about it for a while. Seeing Ling Xiao stand up to leave, she hesitated and followed him to the door.
"Don't forget to settle the bill next month," she said.
Ling Xiao saw that she was hesitant to speak, and her expression was very cute. He couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, and nodded: "I will definitely come."
"Hello!"
Liu Junhuan called him from behind and said with a red face, "I want to eat something else next time."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, I will take care of you."
He waved to her and left.
Liu Junhuan stared at the direction he was going downstairs for a long time. His thoughts were ups and downs, and he was actually crazy.
After a long time, she came back to her senses, with a smile on her lips, and whispered: "It's not bad to practice together like this. One day I will catch up with you in cultivation, and I'm sorry you won't be able to escape from my grasp. "
She also thought that Ling Xiao took the initiative to bring her rice balls, but never mentioned the money for the meal. She felt very happy for a while, walked around the room for a while, and then continued to practice.
The waiting time is long and the time spent together is short.
After a few months of this, Liu Junhuan also settled the transaction amount with Ling Xiao. However, both parties did not mention it intentionally or unintentionally, and still met every other month.
When they get along, the two sometimes chat about recent anecdotes, and sometimes practice separately. They always behave without arrogance and live in peace with each other.
Liu Junhuan became more and more diligent. On the one hand, she had a firm goal in mind, but on the other hand, she was infected by Ling Xiao. For this reason, she gradually resigned from all the affairs in Fuxiang Pavilion and devoted herself to cultivation.
The name of the most beautiful woman in the black market is gradually not mentioned.
Another year passed, with the support of Bai Xiang and Kui Jieyuan's endless supply of elixirs, Liu Junhuan's cultivation improved rapidly, breaking through three realms in a row and reaching the fourth level of Qi refining.
Even Ling Xiao couldn't help but admire the speed of his cultivation.
Liu Junhuan was even more happy.
On this day, she was invited to the Moqu Mountains for the first time. Ling Xiao came and had nothing to do, so he went with her.
Liu Junhuan has grown up, and this is the first time she has returned to this place where monsters are rampant. Even though the mountains and rivers are barren, the wind and rain are miserable, in her eyes, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, and the scenery is picturesque.
From then on, the two of them often went to the mountains and forests together, admiring the mountains and rivers while hunting monsters, with Ling Xiao taking care of and giving guidance, which was as relaxing and happy as a spring outing.
Although Ling Xiao no longer hunted monsters, he accompanied her in the mountains and forests, and his mood gradually became clearer and clearer, and the bottlenecks on his spiritual path were finally overcome.
Slowly, Liu Junhuan was able to identify many medicinal materials and strange rocks, and she was also able to hunt monsters and gouge out materials with her own hands. Unfortunately, she was not familiar with the techniques and often ended up in a miserable state.
At this time, the two of them looked at each other and laughed, finding it extremely interesting.
Three years after the Dawn Trial.
Ling Xiao's unhurried cultivation finally reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.
Since then, it has been closed.
