A few days later, Xu Wen, who had been meditating for a long time, slowly ended his practice.
After checking his cultivation, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
After entering the third level of Qi Refining, his cultivation speed has become slower.
This area of Shiban Street is for people who have just arrived in Qingfeng City. The concentration of spiritual energy is not high. It is okay on the first and second floors, but it is not enough on the third floor of Qi Refining.
Fortunately, with the Pure Soul Silk and Black Pearl Rice, there is no big problem for the time being, but once the Black Pearl Rice is consumed, spiritual energy replenishment will definitely be a big problem, and we must start to find a way to solve it.
After practicing the Rejuvenation Technique for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. This wood-type exclusive spell is very complicated, far more than other spells. I still can't master it after such a long time.
Withdrawing his mana, he was about to study the talisman booklet given by Xiao Yuanshan when the formation suddenly felt a touch. When he went out, he saw it was Liu Minghe.
Entering the room, Liu Minghe, who was always cheerful and cheerful, felt a little awkward today, as if he wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it.
"Is there something wrong with Senior Brother Liu?"
Xu Wen felt strange and asked directly:
"As long as I can help, junior brother, just say so, no need to be polite to me!"
"Um... um, don't you know that junior brother has a lot of money these days?"
With his face flushed from holding back, Liu Minghe still had to bite the bullet and said:
"I'm going to explore Xishan with Senior Sister Haihuan and others. I need to prepare some things. I know that Junior Brother made some spiritual stones by gambling in the ghost market, so... so..."
Without waiting for Xu Wen to answer, he said hurriedly:
"I also know that practicing, junior brother, costs a lot of money. If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say anything."
The more he spoke, the redder his face became. Embarrassment, restraint, helplessness and other emotions seemed to pour out of his red cheeks.
Since ancient times, a penny has stumped heroes. There is nothing more difficult than borrowing money from others, not to mention the face-saving Liu Minghe.
To be able to push him to this point must be the last attempt after all methods have been exhausted.
Just when he was extremely worried and did not dare to look into Xu Wen's eyes, a cloth bag appeared in front of him, and Xu Wen said seriously:
"I still have more than three hundred spirit stones here, senior brother, take them all!"
"I know I can't persuade senior brother. I only have one sentence. The ruins of Xishan are extremely dangerous. Please be careful, senior brother. As long as people are around, everything is possible!"
"Okay...ok, good brother, I...I will definitely..."
After taking the bag, Liu Minghe's voice was a little hoarse and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say.
In the end, he could only pat Xu Wen's shoulder heavily, cupped his hands, turned around and strode away.
Looking at Liu Minghe's retreating figure, Xu Wen was filled with emotions.
Cultivation means competing with heaven for time, with earth for luck, and with people for profit. Every step is extremely difficult.
He has the Celestial Eye and Precious Light Technique at his side, and his resources are comparable to those of the disciples of the major sects. Naturally, he hopes to practice step by step and is unwilling to take too many risks.
But for Liu Minghe, every step of progress requires a lot of hardships, and he can only fight for it. The Xishan ruins are a good choice.
There is no right or wrong, it is always the best choice under your own circumstances.
As for the more than three hundred spirit stones that were loaned out, Xu Wen was not worried at all.
There are many types of people. There are bastards who find various reasons to refuse to pay back the money they owe, and there are also kindhearted people who repay the kindness they receive with a spring.
Because some assholes who indiscriminately reject everyone who comes to borrow money are obviously the worst choice.
Liu Minghe is the kind of character who will not refuse others as long as he still has a spiritual stone in his pocket. How could such a person not pay back the money he owes?
Moreover, although more than three hundred spirit stones were a lot, for Xu Wen, it was not a big deal.
Even if Liu Minghe had an accident or his personality changed drastically, it would be completely within his tolerance.
Therefore, the key to whether to borrow money or not lies in knowing people and having an accurate judgment of one's own abilities.
After studying the talisman booklet given by Xiao Yuanshan for a while, the formation was touched again, this time by Guang Yutong.
After exchanging a few words, Guang Yutong asked in a low voice:
"Junior Brother Xu, has Senior Brother Liu come to see you?"
After hearing this, Xu Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and immediately replied:
"He's here, he said he's going to go on an adventure to the Xishan ruins!"
Xu Wen didn't mention borrowing spiritual stones. This kind of thing is always not good-looking, so there is no need to tell others behind their backs.
"I know that Junior Brother Xu is a kind person, and you don't have to cover up for Senior Brother Liu. He also came to me to borrow spiritual stones!"
With a sigh, Guang Yutong said with a heavy face:
"But I'm no better than you. I searched all over my body and only managed to give him fifty spiritual stones. In fact, I think Senior Brother Liu is really a little anxious this time..."
After picking pearl rice, Xu Wen and Liu Minghe also did several things for Liu Yubo and earned some spiritual stones.
But the other party pointed out that Guang Yutong would not be allowed to participate, and Xu Wen and the others had no choice.
In terms of personal connections, Guang Yutong is far from comparable to them.
There is Liu Hongyuan's small group. They know far more people than Guang Yutong, and they have many more ways to obtain information and earn spiritual stones.
The two also wanted to introduce Guang Yutong into the small circle, but Liu Hongyuan led the party. Guang Yutong hated Liu Yubo, and Liu Hongyuan did not accept Guang Yutong at all.
For several reasons, Guang Yutong's life was actually much more difficult than that of Xu Wen.
After hearing the other party's heartfelt words, Xu Wen's perception of Guang Yutong immediately changed greatly.
Fifty spirit stones was already a large amount for him. Although the other party was a little eager for quick success, he did do this matter very openly.
"Junior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Liu works so hard, we can't fall behind too much!"
Looking at Xu Wen, Guang Yutong said:
"I want to venture into the wilderness outside. Although the rewards may be a little small, the risks are not big. I wonder if Junior Brother Xu is willing to come with us?"
His suggestion was actually good. The wasteland outside Qingfeng City itself was a place frequented by many low-level casual cultivators. Xu Wen had hunted several Black Wind Rats last time he went there.
However, for Xu Wen, these actions of beating and killing were not suitable choices.
It would be unkind to refuse directly. After thinking about it, he whispered:
"It's been a critical moment for me to practice a spell recently, and I really can't leave..."
"Okay... let's meet again next time we have a chance!"
Guang Yutong was obviously a little unhappy, but he couldn't force it, so he could only leave.
Without thinking too much, Xu Wen began to continue practicing after taking a short rest.
Cultivation is a very busy thing. Every day I practice, practice, learn how to make talismans, and explore the ghost market. When I have some time, I have to try to repair the Buddha's ghost banner and the statue of Yama's creation, and I also have to find ways to make bronze spirit gatherings. How to use lamp oil...
He is so busy every day that he can't wait to spend one minute and two minutes. Apart from gatherings, which are necessary activities to expand contacts and information, he rarely participates in other ineffective social interactions.
He felt a little guilty about Guang Yutong, but adults should be responsible for themselves and should not change their established route easily because of outsiders.
Guang Yutong couldn't let him change his cultivation decision, and neither could Liu Minghe!
