A tall middle-aged man wearing animal skin clothes came out of the door. When he saw Cao Ren, he smiled honestly and said, "Guard Cao, you're here so quickly."
"Let's look at that child." A woman squeezed out from behind him and looked at Jiang Yiyi who was standing next to Cao Ren. Her eyes were full of pity: "Why are you still wearing a skirt in such a cold weather? These shoes are too small. Not even warm."
In the room, there was a little girl wearing a cotton-padded jacket, about the same age as Jiang Yiyi, who was looking at her curiously.
"I ask you to help take care of this child for a few days. I will find a suitable family for her at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible." Cao Ren took out a spiritual stone and handed it to the man.
"It's just a matter of taking care of it for a few days, so there's no need for the spirit stone." The man waved his hand quickly.
"As promised before, take it." Cao Ren put it directly into his hand.
"Child, come in quickly and I'll change you into warm clothes." The woman came forward and wanted to hold Jiang Yiyi's hand.
Jiang Yiyi took half a step back towards Cao Ren, looked up at him, and prayed softly: "Brother Cao Ren, don't you want Yiyi? Can you let me follow you?"
"No." Cao Ren flatly refused, but looking at her pitiful appearance, his tone couldn't help but soften a little: "You stay at Uncle Zhu Lian's house for a few days, and then I will send you away from Wuhai City. I will find something for you. A wealthy family will never have to suffer again in this life.”
"But I..." Tears were already welling up in Jiang Yiyi's eyes. She stretched out her little hand to grab Cao Ren's hand, but stopped halfway.
"Please." Cao Ren said, turned around and left without looking back.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would become soft-hearted.
Zhu Lian and his wife are loyal and honest people. They also have a daughter of about the same age at home, so he can rest assured that they can take care of Jiang Yiyi.
During this time, he went down the mountain to do tasks and got to know some wealthy businessmen. With his status as an immortal, it was not difficult to give Jiang Yiyi a wealthy life.
"Let's go, kid, it's warm in the house." The woman picked up Jiang Yiyi, turned around and entered the house.
…
"Brother Cao!"
Before Cao Ren reached the door, Xiao Yunzhan came forward to greet him with excitement: "I heard that you killed a beast and saved a poor little girl. Taiyi Clan didn't embarrass you, right?"
"Taiyi Sect is a righteous immortal family, so naturally it can distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong." Cao Ren said with a smile.
"Yeah!"
"Come on, I'm going to cook today, and you can have a couple of drinks with me."
"OK!"
After a few good dishes and a nice bottle of wine, the two of them left happily.
Cao Ren was still tipsy and entered the training room.
After all, relying on your face to make a living is not the best option. Beautiful women age easily, let alone men.
He doesn't want to be like Old Man Li, who has to sell his butt when he gets old and loses sex.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Cao Ren thought, and a blue panel appeared:
[Name: Cao Ren]
[Occupation: Sword Cultivator]
【Shouyuan: 18/99】
[Kung Fu: Xuantian Gong Xiaocheng: 194/200]
[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Training: 91/100]
[Basic professional skills:
Sword Qi Slash Mastery: 210/400
Drawing Sword Mastery: 298/400
Three non-sticks: 176/200]
[Professional talent: Kill monsters and explode equipment]
He checked his various data and his eyes fell on the realm.
If your proficiency reaches the entry-level Xuantian Kung Fu, practicing it for a whole night can increase your experience points at the sixth level of Qi training by 1 point.
According to this progress, in nine days, he will be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi training.
Don't underestimate this gap. This is a huge difference between the late stage of Qi training and the middle stage of Qi training. It is said that there will be a more obvious improvement in strength.
In Wuhai City, the strength in the late stages of Qi training is enough to dwarf half of the casual cultivators.
The bounty for monsters in the late first level is much higher than that in the early and middle stages.
Moreover, the proficiency of Xuantian Gong is close to a breakthrough, and the speed of practice may be improved after Xiaocheng.
With a thought in his mind, Cao Ren slid the current page to the left, and a new blank page appeared.
[Second career: To be unlocked. 】
Before Cao Ren traveled through time, he played a full-professional experience mini-game, so this panel retains the multi-professional experience.
However, after arriving in Wuhai City for more than a month, Cao Ren has not found a suitable opportunity to unlock his second career.
In fact, cultivating immortals is a very isolated thing. It is absolutely impossible to learn profitable professions such as drawing talismans, refining weapons, and refining alchemy from casual cultivators.
This is also the reason why Cao Ren wants to join Taiyi Sect. It is said that Taiyi Sect has a Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for disciples to study, and there are all kinds of classics.
He now has 125 low-grade spiritual stones in his hand, all of which he has saved over the past month.
The sword he is using now is an ordinary iron sword, and he just wants to save money to buy himself a better magic weapon to improve his combat effectiveness.
A slightly better quality first-level mid-grade magic weapon costs no less than 200 spirit stones.
It would be great if you could learn to draw talismans or refine alchemy. Talisman masters and alchemists are the most popular among immortal cultivators, especially high-level ones. If you draw a talisman or refine a furnace of elixirs, they are all Bai Huahua's spiritual power. stone.
In contrast, Jianxiu went out to do tasks every day, exposed to the sun and rain, and endured huge dangers, but he did not make much.
Putting away the panel, Cao Ren thought about the information Jiang Dali revealed to him before his death.
The person who wanted to buy Jiang Yiyi was Li Yunzhu's direct disciple Ye Danqing.
Li Yunzhu is one of the six golden elixirs in Wuhai City. He is the first formation mage in Wuhai City and is in charge of the mountain defense formation in Wuhai City. His direct disciple is naturally an inner disciple of the Taiyi Sect, and his strength is probably already established.
But today's matter came to Su Yimo, and she seemed to have a good impression of him.
Disciples of the Xianjia sect value reputation most.
If Ye Danqing hadn't been so stupid because of his lust, he wouldn't have dared to come and embarrass him at this time.
Once he enters the Taiyi Sect and becomes an outer disciple, and then gets close to Su Yimo, there is no need to worry.
However, if there is a chance in the future for this kind of perverted pedophile, he would not mind stabbing him.
He was in a hurry to send Jiang Yiyi away, but he was also worried that Ye Danqing was still evil and would not be able to protect her if a conflict broke out.
With the calculation in his mind clear, Cao Ren closed his eyes and began to practice.
There is no need to collect rent in the second half of the month, which means that the work for this month is over.
The next day, it was dawn, and Cao Ren was ready to go on a mission early in the morning.
As soon as I opened the door, I found a small figure curled up at the door.
"Jiang Yiyi?" Cao Ren suddenly thought, why is she here? She was still wearing that dress. It was so cold last night, could she...
The little guy moved, raised his head and looked at him, with a smile on his pale face. He slowly raised his right hand and handed it to him. He held a white jade talisman in his small hand and said weakly: "This It is my father's most precious thing. He said that if you get it, you can become a talisman master. I will give it to you. Brother Cao Ren, I don't want to go down the mountain, I want to cultivate immortality with you."
The little guy's eyes were red from the cold, and they were full of anticipation.
"Creak."
The door next door opened, and the neatly dressed Xiao Yunzhan came out with a yawn. When he saw Cao Ren, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said: "Brother Cao, I finally caught you this morning. Can you take me on a mission today? I... Who is this little girl?"
The little girl's hands suddenly dropped, her body fell back, and she fainted.
"Jiang Yiyi!" Cao Ren quickly picked her up and walked towards the house, and he put the jade talisman into his pocket.
"Jiang Yiyi? Isn't this the little girl who was rescued by Brother Cao yesterday?" Xiao Yunzhan muttered and followed him through the door.
The little guy's hands and feet were cold and a little stiff. Only his neck could feel a trace of warmth. His breath was weak. I don't know how she managed to hold on last night.
Cao Ren took off his clothes and wrapped them around her, then pulled out a thick animal skin jacket from the cabinet and wrapped her up.
"What's wrong with her?" Xiao Yunzhan asked with concern.
"She squatted at the door all night last night. Her breath is very weak. She needs to help her regain her body temperature immediately." Cao Ren called him over, "You guard her, I will light the fire and make her a bowl of ginger soup. I will carry her to the kitchen later." , it’s warmer inside.”
"Can your method work? Her breath is almost gone. By the time you make the ginger soup, I'm afraid she will be gone." Xiao Yunzhan took out the Qiankun bag and said: "I have a Huiyuan Pill here. , eating it should have an effect.”
"A second-grade Huiyuan Pill that is said to be able to bring the dead back to life?" Cao Ren looked at the white jade vial in Xiao Yunzhan's hand.
Even if he emptied his wealth, he couldn't even afford a second-grade elixir.
"Resurrection must be a lie, but isn't she not dead yet? Taking it should have an effect." Xiao Yunzhan uncorked the bottle and poured out a black elixir the size of a thumb, with two golden lines on it. Along with the lines, a strong red fragrance spreads, and just one whiff can make people feel refreshed.
"This elixir is so valuable, just think I borrowed it from you." Cao Ren said casually, and helped Jiang Yiyi up. Her breath was almost inaudible and there was no way to delay.
"That's not possible! How can you keep good things to yourself! This Yuanhui Pill must be given by me!" Xiao Yunzhan pinched Jiang Yiyi's face and fed the pill into her mouth.
The elixir melts in the mouth, and the weak breath gradually becomes calm.
"How is it?" Xiao Yunzhan looked concerned and took out a few more white jade bottles from the Qiankun bag: "Would you like to take a few more? I also have Qi Nourishing Pill, Resurrection Pill, Yuhua Pill, and Shiquan Dabu. Pills, kidney-tonifying and yang-tonifying pills..."
Cao Ren frowned: "Wait a minute, is there something strange mixed in?"
