"My pen is better to use." Gu Qingxi took out a box of drawing pencils and gave it to Senior Sister Jiang, "When you use up the pen tip, you can use a knife to sharpen it to reveal the refill inside."
"This is good, you don't have to dirty your hands." Senior Sister Jiang happily took it, "When I finish refining the elixir, I will give you one."
Senior Sister Jiang can actually afford to buy a photographic stone. She can use the photographic stone to record the appearance of various medicinal herbs, and finally record it on the jade slips. But she prefers to observe the herbs carefully on the spot and draw all the details of the herbs carefully. This will make it easier for her to learn more about medicinal herbs.
"No, Senior Sister Jiang, this elixir should be very precious." Gu Qingxi refused immediately. It was just a box of pencils and she couldn't afford such a heavy return gift.
"We will wait until I successfully refine it." Senior Sister Jiang was actually not very confident in the elixir this time, so she did not continue the topic and decided that the two of them would go up the mountain first. Bai Xinghua mostly grows on the mountainside, so you have to choose a suitable place to wait before dark.
Halfway up the mountain, Senior Sister Jiang chose a place, swept away the surrounding snow, and prepared to make a bonfire. Although the monk is not afraid of the cold, that is because her spiritual power covers her whole body. It's not enough to keep consuming spiritual energy. What if something happens?
At this time, Gu Qingxi felt that Zaizai had woken up.
Zai Zai is asleep most of the time. Is it because it's too cold now that Zaizai woke up from the cold? Gu Qingxi guessed.
"Dad! Dad! Dad! There are spiritual rice everywhere." Zaizai's excited voice sounded in Gu Qingxi's mind.
Then Zai Zai jumped out of the bag, jumped into a ball of snow, and then quickly jumped out the same way and jumped into Gu Qingxi's arms, shivering.
Ah, no, silly boy, this is snow, it will be cold... Gu Qingxi didn't have time to say this.
"Daddy, daddy, it's cold!" Zaizai's childish voice was full of grievances.
Gu Qingxi used her spiritual power to wrap up Zai Zai's body. Zai Zai felt better and stopped moaning.
"Eh? Is this Junior Sister Gu's spiritual pet?" Senior Sister Jiang asked in surprise. She had just seen a fluffy yellow ball jumping around, but now she could see clearly, it was actually a little yellow chicken?
"Well, my Zai Zai." Gu Qingxi proudly held Zai Zai close to the bonfire to keep Zai Zai warm.
"It's so cute. What does she eat? Does she eat spiritual fruit?" Senior Sister Jiang looked at the furry ball with great fondness, and took out a red spiritual fruit from her storage bag.
"Eat. Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang, Zai Zai." Gu Qingxi took the fruit and said to Zai Zai.
Zaizai flapped his little wings to express his gratitude.
"Is his name just Zaizai?" Senior Sister Jiang asked.
"right."
Zaizai was already pecking at the fruit carefully, and his little mouth was covered with juice. Gu Qingxi found a handkerchief and wiped the juice from the corner of Zaizai's mouth.
Seeing this, Senior Sister Jiang wanted to have a spiritual pet, but she thought that once she made elixirs, she might not be able to come out for a long time. It would be miserable to raise a spiritual pet and starve to death. forget it.
After eating the spiritual fruit, Zaizai fell asleep again.
Gu Qingxi and Senior Sister Jiang sat around the campfire, chatting and waiting for the sun to set.
The sky gradually darkened, and Senior Sister Jiang stood up: "Let's go!"
It is obviously not the first time for Senior Sister Jiang to collect Bai Xinghua, because she has rich experience and can always quickly find the place where Bai Xinghua grows, and then collect it with quick eyes and hands. After a while, I collected five flowers.
Time is very tight, only less than a quarter of an hour.
"I can find one more." Senior Sister Jiang searched around, and then called out in surprise, "Found it."
Just when Senior Sister Jiang had just collected it, Gu Qingxi's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly pulled Senior Sister Jiang behind her, staring sharply ahead.
In front, two male cultivators appeared, one in front and one behind.
The man in front is slender and handsome, but... he has no eyebrows. The face looks a little weird. There is a male cultivator behind him, with a stern appearance and sharp eyebrows.
The male cultivator in front saw Senior Sister Jiang collecting Bai Xinghua, and rushed over excitedly, saying to Senior Sister Jiang: "Fellow Taoist, can you sell me the Bai Xinghua you just collected? I've been looking for it here for three days. Not a single one was found. I'm willing to pay a high price..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the male cultivator behind him.
The stern male cultivator grabbed his collar and pulled him back. He looked at Gu Qingxi and Senior Sister Jiang with cold eyes: "Hand over the white star flower just now."
Gu Qingxi: "..." So, are you trying to rob them?
Senior Sister Jiang hid behind Gu Qingxi and whispered: "This is why I want you to escort me." There will always be people who bully the weak in the world of cultivation, and there are even those who kill people to seize treasures. She was a weak alchemist walking alone, like a walking spiritual stone. It was not surprising that she was robbed.
Just now, Gu Qingxi and Senior Sister Jiang were lamenting that the handsome male cultivator was so unlucky, but things suddenly turned out like this.
Why does this stern male cultivator have such confidence? It's because he is already in the late stage of Jindan, while the two female cultivators in front of him are only in the early stage of Jindan. One of them should be an alchemist. The taste of the weak chicken is exactly the same as his junior brother, so it can be ignored. The other one was just a sword cultivator in the early stage of Jindan. He looked thin and weak. He couldn't fight at first sight, so he was not to be feared at all.
That's why he decided to rob. In the world of cultivation, the strong are originally respected. He is stronger than them, so what's the problem with asking them to hand over their things?
"Senior brother, no!" The handsome male cultivator said anxiously to stop him, and stretched out his hand to pull his senior brother's sleeve.
"Shut up." The stern male cultivator shook off his junior brother's hand, then pulled out his sword and faced Gu Qingxi, "If you don't want to suffer, hand over Bai Xinghua."
"Brother, how could you do this? They collected it. How could we rob it?" the handsome male cultivator yelled angrily.
"Who made them weak?" The cold male cultivator was unmoved and said coldly.
"Oh, the weak should be bullied and robbed, right?" Gu Qingxi said slowly.
"Isn't it?" The stern male cultivator sneered and said disdainfully, "If you are weak, just hand over your things obediently and I will spare your life."
"That's it..." Gu Qingxi's voice was long and unclear.
The stern male cultivator had a look of disdain on his face and was about to say some harsh words, but something suddenly clicked in his heart.
An ominous premonition came to mind, she was stalling for time!
However, it was already too late.
