"Brother Ling, why are you so bad!"
"Sister Bai, don't move, just listen to me!"
"Giggle, it's so itchy!"
"This figure is really good!"
"No! Don't do this!"
"It's okay, just hold on and you'll feel better. Look, you'll feel better now!"
"Well, it feels so comfortable, hurry up!"... "I can't stand it anymore, uh-huh!"
"Stop yelling like that, I can't stand it anymore!"
"You hate it, you make people feel so uncomfortable, they can't help it~!"
It really cost me my life! After a long time...!
Cheng Ling looked at Bai Suzhen with satisfaction and said, "It's much safer with this appearance. Sister Bai, take a look for yourself!"
It turned out that Cheng Ling was applying makeup to Bai Suzhen, partially covering up her peerless appearance. The materials used can only be found locally, such as mud from the lake, temporarily scorched branches, etc.
That's why Bai Suzhen was confused. As for the brother who is looking at his thoughts, go face the wall for ten minutes and purify your soul...!
Bai Suzhen touched her cheek, stretched out her head, and took a look at the lake.
I saw that my eyebrows were darker, the outline of my face became squarer, and my nose and mouth also changed slightly.
Although the whole face is still very beautiful, it is not as outrageous as before, and it does not attract special attention when walking in the crowd.
Cheng Ling said proudly: "How about it, Sister Bai, this way it won't cause too much attention and trouble!"
Bai Suzhen flattened her mouth and said, "Forget it, at least it's not ugly. You can do whatever you want!"
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "Then let's leave first. If people from Canghai Dragon Palace come again, it will be troublesome."
After saying that, he took out the flying magic weapon, let Bai Suzhen sit on it, and flew towards the outside of the mountain range.
Bai Suzhen sat on the magic weapon and said with disdain: "This flying magic weapon can't fly as fast as me. You'd better put it away and I'll take you flying!"
Cheng Ling said: "Low-key, we must keep a low-key. Sister Bai, didn't I tell you not to be too showy? You must know that being low-key is the best way to show off!"
Bai Suzhen didn't seem to understand, but she couldn't defeat him anyway, so she let him go! Sometimes she was also curious as to why a teenage boy like Cheng Ling had so many ideas. Her soft eyes were just watching Cheng Ling's every move.
After flying for about two hours, Cheng Ling saw that the island's buildings were approaching. He quickly used the breath gathering technique and resumed his cultivation in the late stage of Qi training.
Bai Suzhen felt the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to hide your cultivation?"
"This is low-key. My current golden elixir stage is too old. If someone sees it, they will inevitably suspect that I have some treasure. If they come to snatch it, it will be troublesome!"
"What are you afraid of when your sister is here? Kill as many as you come!"
Cheng Ling has a headache, why can't I explain it to you? In this world, if everything is solved by killing people, sooner or later you will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.
He originally wanted Bai Suzhen to learn the breath-containing technique and hide her cultivation, but her attitude was obvious. Considering that no one could touch her on Canglang Island, no matter how high her cultivation was, he gave up. Let her be!
After arriving at the market of the building complex, he returned to the place where he rented the flying magic weapon and returned it. Then he took Bai Suzhen to find a store in Fang City and bought several sets of changing clothes for her.
She is always wearing that white cloth, even though her appearance is no longer so outrageous, there is too much exposed skin, which is still eye-catching.
Bai Suzhen really likes the color white. She chose white for several sets of clothes, and her skin loomed in the hazy space, adding a bit of temptation.
Cheng Ling shook his head and sighed, this young lady really doesn't know what it means to be low-key.
After all these things were done, he took Bai Suzhen along the long street to find Xianxi Tower. Now, one day has passed, and there are still two days before Liu Wenxiao's agreed time. In these two days, find a place in the Immortal Breathing Tower to stabilize your cultivation and deduce the formation!
After some calculations, he looked towards the stalls on both sides, wanting to buy some books on formations. Now that he is a fifth-level formation mage, he is no longer satisfied with the formation experience Xuan Lingzi left for him. He only hopes to see relevant books in Fangshi.
But the formation books are generally unpublished secrets of large sects, and they are not so easy to discover. I checked dozens of stalls along the road but found nothing.
Bai Suzhen looked very fresh, and was not interested in some monastic gadgets. She had just transformed, and she was still full of curiosity about the human world. Like a little girl, she wanted something interesting when she saw it.
Cheng Ling snickered secretly and bought her a few gadgets, making her happy. The two of them looked at the incense sticks for another while. Cheng Ling was about to give up when he saw a large bookstall in front of him. He thought to himself, look at this bookstall again. If you really can't find the books on the formation, I can only give up!
When I came to the bookstall, I started flipping through a book. The stall owner saw that he was a little brat and wanted to drive him away, but then he saw Bai Suzhen and stopped talking.
Bai Suzhen's beauty is one thing, but since he can't see her cultivation, he doesn't dare to offend her easily. I secretly thought that this child must be the young master of the Xiuzhen family, so I had to be extremely careful!
Cheng Ling browsed for a long time, but found no books on formations. They were all introductions to monsters and materials in the nearby sea areas, as well as several sea charts. He put them away and asked: "Shopkeeper, do you have any books on formations here?"
The stall owner said: "I don't have any books on formations here. I only have a few books on alchemy. If the young master is interested, I can give you a 20% discount."
Cheng Ling sighed secretly. It seemed that he couldn't find it. He randomly selected a few sea charts and books introducing materials about monsters and beasts and said, "I want these books. How many spiritual stones are there?"
The stall owner said: "A total of ten thousand spiritual stones!"
Cheng Ling was startled and said, "No way! Are these few books so expensive? Don't lie to me just because I'm young!"
"No way, the young master doesn't know anything. The records on these maps are all the sea areas that my father has been to personally. They are guaranteed to be genuine. On this Canglang Island, no other map has such detailed records as mine."
"And many of those monsters and materials are very rare. Even their place of origin, habits, strength, and how to cooperate with alchemy are all recorded in detail. By the way, young master, do you really not need these books on alchemy?"
Cheng Ling's heart moved, making elixirs? Originally, he was worried that he did not have enough time, but now the deduction of the formation is very slow, and the Qingye Pill has been eaten by Bai Suzhen. In the future, alchemy will also be indispensable for practice. Do you want to learn alchemy?
Seeing his move, the stall owner continued: "My father is a casual cultivator. He has studied alchemy all his life. Although he has not passed the assessment of the Alchemy Alliance, he is at least a fifth-level alchemy master. I also had no choice but to do this. Sell the alchemy experience he left behind!"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and asked, "How much are these alchemy books worth?"
The stall owner said: "Fifty thousand spirit stones, all of them belong to you. I can also give you some low-level alchemy materials."
Cheng Ling was shocked. These 50,000 spirit stones were too expensive. Including the books he had chosen before, it cost 60,000. In one fell swoop, more than half of his spirit stones were gone. But thinking about the future, if you want to quickly improve your cultivation, pills are always necessary.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, these alchemy secrets plus the books I selected before are all packaged for 50,000 spirit stones, so I will buy them."
The stall owner looked embarrassed and said: "Master, the price is already very low. If it were not for the sake of livelihood, I would not want to sell the secret book left by my father."
"What? Your father is gone?"
"Yes, he went out to hunt for treasure and died at the hands of a monster. Now I am left alone and owe a lot of debts." The stall owner said painfully.
This sentence completely hit Cheng Ling's heart. He sighed secretly, why didn't he want to die because he owed too many debts? He turned around, quietly took out the spirit stone from the storage ring, and put it into the storage bag.
Then he turned around and said, "Okay! Then I'll buy all the sixty thousand spirit stones!"
The stall owner was overjoyed and hurriedly took the storage bag, gave the books and materials to Cheng Ling, and said, "Thank you, Master, for your generosity!"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and left with Bai Suzhen!
Bai Suzhen asked curiously: "You were reluctant to part with those spiritual stones before, why were you willing to part with them later?"
Cheng Ling sighed: "There will always be difficulties in life, so if you can help, please help!"
Bai Suzhen stopped talking. She just looked at Cheng Ling's face and felt the indescribable vicissitudes of life.
Both of them bought what they wanted and stopped wandering around. Cheng Ling chose a Xianxi Building, asked for two guest rooms and moved in. He also specifically told Bai Suzhen not to run around, and gave her some spiritual stones to facilitate her shopping. After making arrangements for her, they went back to the guest room to rest!
In the guest room, Cheng Ling sat cross-legged, quietly thinking about how to walk forward.
Now that he has reached the golden elixir stage, he is still not as strong as the Chen Cheng family, not to mention a group of mysterious men in black. So the top priority is to find ways to improve your cultivation.
He is still young and can study hard for several years patiently. But it's best to have helpful elixirs or treasures. Otherwise, if you improve here, the Chen Cheng family will only have more resources. If they also improve, won't they never be able to catch up?
This was also a big reason why he agreed to buy the alchemy books. Simply buying elixirs to improve his cultivation would be too costly. Now he only has more than 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones left on him, and several hundred yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones, which were all left to him by Xuan Lingzi, and he can't even buy a few pills!
The exchange rate between middle-grade spiritual stones and low-grade spiritual stones is ten to one. Including the middle-grade spiritual stones, the maximum is only 40,000, which is not even enough for daily accommodation expenses. What's even more depressing is that he is still young, so even if he goes out to work, no one will want him.
He couldn't help but feel a headache. He had been troubled by the money in his past and present lives. It seems that we need to find a way to get some spiritual stones.
What methods can be used? No one wants to do the work, but help people set up formations? I guess no one believed it either. Thinking about it, I don't have any valuable treasures on my body, the only one is the Ziyun Sword. Now that I have a middle-grade sword, the Ziyun Sword is no longer needed.
But low-grade swords were not very valuable. For a while, their minds were filled with ideas of getting rich, but each one was cruelly overthrown by himself.
I have been thinking about it for most of the night, but there is no one that is practical. On the contrary, my head hurts thinking about it, my eyes are blood red, my temples are gray, and there is still a buzz in my mouth. It's so miserable!
He couldn't help but sigh: "Money! You are a knife that kills people without showing blood!"
