Lu Ming was very sincere, but Pei Yan still didn't agree immediately.
His attention is always on his kittens.
With his eyes slightly lowered, Lu Ming happened to see the little kitten falling into "contemplation" after listening to Lu Ming's words——
Kitten interested? Does it want to go to the Blood Mist Demon Forest?
If this is the case——
"Okay! Brother Lu sincerely wants to invite you, but Pei is disrespectful to refuse!"
Pei Yan's small movements were not obvious, but as a cultivator, Lu Ming was very sensitive.
He accurately captured Lu Ming's eyes looking at the little cat demon——
Uh, what's wrong with this?
Before making a decision, do you still need to look at the meaning of your own demon pet?
Although this kitten was cleaned, it was fluffy, milky, soft and cute, and looked very cute.
However, going to the Blood Mist Monster Forest is no small matter. There are not only all kinds of weird monsters with different cultivation levels there, but also weird blood mist.
Fog is poisonous.
In addition to hurting people's bodies, it can also cause hallucinations. If there are monks who have inner demons, tsk tsk, the consequences will be extremely tragic.
In severe cases, you will be trapped in the blood mist and will not be able to get out for the rest of your life!
There are many dangers in the Blood Mist Demonic Forest, but there are not many valuable training resources.
If it weren't for the fact that he needed to practice, if it wasn't for the elixir-forming medicine, it would be a thousand-year-old green root flower. A cultivation wizard with a strong backing like Lu Ming would not get involved easily!
This was also the reason why he tried his best to invite Pei Yan. In addition to wanting to take the opportunity to make friends and form a training partner with him, he also wanted to share risks.
During the trip to the Blood Mist Demonic Forest, Lu Ming was definitely "ready for it", but Pei Yan -
"Perhaps Pei Yan particularly likes this kitten demon."
"Or maybe this little kitten demon has something magical that outsiders don't know about!"
Lu Ming secretly guessed.
However, although he didn't know why Pei Yan valued a kitten demon, he was certain of one thing: the kitten demon was very important to Pei Yan!
For some things, you don’t need to know the cause, as long as you know the result.
"Brother Pei, since we have decided to go to the Blood Mist Demon Forest, we need to make some preparations. Although the Blood Demon City is a bit remote, there is also a branch of the Treasure Pavilion."
Zhenbao Pavilion is the top commercial bank in Xizhou Continent, with branches located in various cities.
Zhenbaoge, as its name suggests, naturally only deals in "treasures". All "treasures" related to cultivation, such as talismans, elixirs, magic tools, formation disks and other items, Zhenbaoge sells.
The Treasure Pavilion also holds regular auctions, and more rare and precious cultivation resources can be purchased as long as you have spirit stones.
The monks still have high regard for the Treasure Pavilion.
When I heard that I wanted to go shopping at Zhenbao Pavilion, I was basically very interested.
However, Pei Yan is an exception.
The word "hate" in his name is not only proof of his mother's excellence, but also seems to accurately "predict" his character——
Pei Yan looked like an aristocratic young man from a secular world, either aloof or handsome, but he seemed to be born with a cold personality and had little interest in anything.
Even he himself seems to have an attitude of "nothing can be done".
As long as he has some personality, he would not be so "indifferent" when he met Han Ling'er and his group in Fangshi this morning.
Huh?
etc!
Lu Ming has a good memory. Although he didn't pay too much attention to Pei Yan when he was walking with him before, he still paid more or less attention to this "mortal" because of his thoughtful and cautious nature.
He found that before meeting the little cat demon, Pei Yan did not react too strongly to Han Ling'er's various "performances".
Whether the other party was acting or using him to build his reputation, Pei Yan couldn't hear it.
However, when he met the little cat demon in Fangshi, Pei Yan suddenly became "strong"
Get up, even if you expose your family scandal, you must tear down Fairy Han’s kind and beautiful mask!
"Hi~~"
Lu Ming couldn't help but take a breath because of his own imagination.
Could it be that Pei Yan has been valuing that little kitten demon since that time?
Lu Ming still couldn't understand it, but he knew how to "go with the flow."
Therefore, after he finished speaking, he went to the Treasure Pavilion to purchase training resources and found that Pei Yan was not interested, so he thought to himself and said, "There is also a spirit beast bag in the Treasure Pavilion, which can make the demon pets live more comfortably."
"In addition, the Treasure Pavilion also has some training techniques and training materials needed for demon cultivators—"
This time, before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Pei Yan readily responded, "Okay, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion!"
What other monsters don’t have, his kitten must have!
Other monsters have it, and his kitten needs it even more!
Lu Ming: ...Pei Yan, it turns out you are really like this Pei Yan!
A monk with a dignified ninth level of foundation building actually came for a kitten——
However, one thing to say is that this cat is of an ordinary breed and does not have any magical bloodline or talents, but it does look pretty good.
Not sure if it was his own illusion, but Lu Ming actually felt that this orange tiger-striped kitten was more beautiful than the red-tailed fox raised by a junior sister in the sect.
It’s really strange that I actually think a native cat looks good!
Huoshui picked his nose: ...Tch! This is a 100+ appearance value, a beauty that transcends species!
Lu Ming suppressed the doubts in his heart and enthusiastically pulled Pei Yan straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
"Lu, Senior Brother Lu?"
Han Ling'er watched helplessly as her favorite male god left with her most hated lifelong enemy, and almost broke her silver teeth into pieces.
She subconsciously called Lu Ming, but he was just chatting with "Brother Pei" and didn't hear her at all. Or, you don’t want to pay attention to it even if you hear it.
When there are no conflicts of interest, whether Han Ling'er is a fairy or a bastard has nothing to do with Lu Ming.
He could even take care of Han Ling'er a little for the sake of his so-called "fellow disciple".
But, now, Lu Ming feels that his training partner is the most important.
Han Ling'er still stayed away from people who clearly had questionable character -
In the Cultivation Continent, strength is indeed respected, and it is not uncommon to kill people and seize treasures.
However, no one wants their partner to be such a person.
Lu Ming's cultivation level is indeed much higher than that of Han Ling'er. Under normal circumstances, he is not afraid of Han Ling'er's mischief.
However, there are too many difficulties and risks in the journey of cultivation, and Lu Ming cannot guarantee that he will be "in trouble" one day.
If there was only Han Ling'er by his side, Lu Ming couldn't even imagine how he would be harmed by Han Ling'er.
"...It's better to leave this back to a reliable person."
Although there is no evidence, Lu Ming just feels that if it really comes to a critical moment, Pei Yan, who looks cold, arrogant and world-weary, is more reliable than Han Ling'er!
Han Ling'er's "love" is destined to be fruitless.
Lu Ming is not only a thousand-year-old straight man, but also a very calm and sober person.
He concentrates on cultivation and never puts his energy on "external objects"——
"Huh? This white kitten looks quite cute!"
When he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, Lu Ming saw a kitten in the Demon Locking Cage before he even started shopping.
"Am I infected by Pei Yan? I actually want to keep a demon pet?"
"No! That's not true! Pei Yan's cat is just a very ordinary cat demon, but mine doesn't look like an ordinary cat."
"The shopkeeper also said that this was discovered by the seniors of the Beast Control Sect on the ancient battlefield. It is also protected by an eighth-level demon. Maybe it is a cat with ancient bloodline."
Lu Ming impulsively spent a thousand low-grade spiritual stones to buy this snow-white cat cub.
rush
After moving and his brain came to his senses, he realized that he had done something stupid.
Lu Ming:......
"Ouch!"
A small palm-sized snow-white dumpling huddled in Lu Ming's palm.
A pair of round golden brown eyes, clean and clear. When it looks at people, people will have the illusion that "I am its whole world."
Lu Ming, who had always been sober, was actually fascinated by this look, "I'm not stupid. This cat is really cute!"
"Besides, I have a hunch that it will definitely surprise me in the future!"
A thousand low-grade spiritual stones, although not a small amount, is really nothing to the Immortal N generation who comes from a rich family.
The elders in his family gave him many spiritual stones, and his disciples, masters, etc. also gave him a lot.
He is not short of money!
Since you have money, you can do whatever you want.
"A mysterious-level spirit beast bag refined by the great master of the Weapon Refining Sect? With sufficient spiritual power, the demon pet can still practice in the spirit beast bag? Okay! Buy it!"
"Xuan-level high-level Peiyuan Dan, which spiritual beasts like to eat the most? OK! Buy it!"
Just now, Lu Ming looked like he didn't understand Pei Yan, but when he held the small, soft white cat cub, he seemed to be possessed.
Dizzy and dazed, by the time he realized what he was doing, he had already spent half of the spiritual stones in his storage bag.
I did buy a lot of training materials, but basically they were all the cats needed!
He himself didn't buy a few things.
"Prodigal son! You actually spent so much money just for a cat demon!"
"Oh, what kind of world is this? Humans are worse than cats!"
Lu Ming's head was buzzing when he heard the chatter of some melon-eating people.
Hey, these words look so damn familiar.
One moment, he still looked at Pei Yan in this way, but he didn't expect that the next second, someone would hit him exactly like that.
etc!
Pei Yan? !
"Brother Pei?"
Only then did Lu Ming wake up. He was only focused on buying kittens and trying his best to buy them, but he forgot about Pei Yan for a while.
This was a training partner that he had finally chosen, and it was very likely to be one of the "opportunities" in his life. Lu Ming didn't want to miss it.
He hugged the little kitten tightly and began to search in the huge treasure pavilion.
Then, on the second floor, Lu Ming found Pei Yan, who was also holding the cat cub.
"Brother Pei!"
Lu Ming shouted as he walked over.
Pei Yan did not respond immediately. He was still "chatting" with Xiaomao'er——
"Cat, is this spirit animal bag good?"
Gu Qingcheng: ...What a blessing to your grandma.
Although I am a cat demon, I am not your pet. I don’t want to live in a spirit animal bag.
A fluffy kitten's paw immediately hit Pei Yan's face. Hey, it was quite powerful!
Thinking about it, Gu Qingcheng looked like a first- and second-level low-level monster, but even a first- and second-level monster was still a monster.
With the word "demon" in it, it is no ordinary little animal.
Great strength is just the basics.
Pa~
Give me a meow punch~
Gu Qingcheng turned into a cat and lived in the form of a cat for two thousand years. Even if she tried her best to restrain herself, her thinking and psychology would be affected to some extent.
Huoshui:...Oh! Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven has become "childish".
"Huh? What, this is not really forcibly subduing me, is it?"
"Oh, what the hell is going on? There's something wrong with this mission—"
Yes, there is a problem with the mission!
When Huoshui helped Gu Qingcheng extract tasks, he discovered something was wrong.
However, the matter was too sudden and too big. According to Huoshui's IQ, authority, etc., it was simply unable to solve it.
It knew very well that it didn't dare to show any abnormality, lest it be discovered by its Queen.
Tsk tsk, Her Majesty the Queen of the House is a shady master. She will argue even if there is no reason. If she catches the blame, she can drain all the blood from the system!
Moreover, at the moment when Huoshui was stunned, it received a prompt from the main system - continue the mission!
The main system has spoken, and Huoshui, who has a somewhat chaotic CPU, suddenly has a backbone.
It "makes mistakes right" and controls its expression perfectly.
Hehe, your majesty is as shrewd as the Queen of Heaven and didn’t even notice it.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I just smiled and said nothing!
"It's okay, there must be no problem with the mission."
"Your Majesty the Queen's current state may be just because she has been a cat for a long time and has also become a pet."
Huoshui comforted himself in this way, not to mention that he was really convinced by himself.
He did not continue to worry about Gu Qingcheng's abnormality, but quietly squatted in the small dark room and watched the show silently.
"Cat, are you angry? Don't you like the spirit beast bag?"
"Cat is so nice. Even when he is angry, he still remembers to put away his nails!"
Pei Yan was slapped in the face by Gu Qingcheng, and a red "plum blossom mark" instantly appeared on his fair cheek. Pei Yan was not even angry.
He was even happy - although the cat was angry, he still held back his strength.
When it struck itself, it didn't even stretch out its sharp nails.
It, indeed, still loves him!
Lu Ming:...Brother Pei! Brother Pei, are you okay?
After being beaten by his own demon pet, he was able to say nice things to his demon pet.
The white fur ball held in Lu Ming's arms yawned and silently complained -
"What do you know? This is a qualified shit shoveler!"
"Being able to serve the cat master is the honor of a shit shoveler!"
"If you want to be a cat owner who is satisfied with your cat owner, and know how to PUA yourself, that's your base!"
Youyou found herself dressed as a cat. After the initial shock, she quickly adapted.
She is well aware of the feeling of being a "turned-serf singing"——
In her previous life, she was a humble scrapper who was bullied by her cat master every day.
After death, she was reborn, and in her second life, she became a cat. Hahaha, she turned into a cat.
From now on, she is the distinguished cat owner.
Stupid two-legged beast, please serve me well.
A certain system of cultivating immortals:...restraint! Middle school girl, you have to exercise restraint!
This is a book about cultivating immortals, which emphasizes decisiveness in killing and respecting strength.
You're just a cat, so you should keep a low profile. If someone discovers the "truth", the consequences will be disastrous!
"Okay! If the cat doesn't like the spirit animal bag, then we won't buy it!"
"...You don't like Peiyuan Dan either? Well, I won't buy it!"
Pei Yan hugged Gu Qingcheng and was very good-tempered.
He and Lu Ming formed a sharp contrast——
One buys nothing, the other buys everything.
One treats the cat like a master, and the other treats the kitten as a pet.
On the surface, it seems that Lu Ming treats his cat demon better, and people are willing to spend money on cats.
However, for some reason, everyone felt that Pei Yan seemed to be more "doting" on his own cat demon.
Because not only did Pei Yan not buy anything for the cat demon, but even when he wanted to buy some talismans and elixirs, he was "stopped" by the cat.
"Cat, you don't want me to buy this? Okay, then we won't buy it!"
Pei Yan really obeyed Gu Qingcheng's advice and was obedient.
Although Gu Qingcheng's suppressive cultivation is only a first-level and second-level low-level monster and cannot speak yet, it can slap.
There were several red spots on Pei Yan's fair face.
"Plum Blossom Seal"!
Lu Ming: ...What a rambunctious kitten, Bai Bai is the best in my family. At least he won’t beat his owner like the following!
"Brother Pei——"
Are you sure you don't want to buy anything?
Lu Ming couldn't stand Gu Qingcheng's "arrogance based on favor". Most importantly, he was worried that Pei Yan would be in trouble if he entered the Blood Mist Demonic Forest without preparation.
He and Pei Yan were "treasure hunting" friends together. He didn't want his friends to put themselves in danger because they pampered their demon pet too much before they got the spiritual grass.
"It doesn't matter! I don't need these in the first place!" What's more, my cat doesn't like it!
When Pei Yan treated Lu Ming, he returned to his original "no worries" attitude.
Lu Ming: ...This person is really strange. Could it be that his childhood experience was too painful? Why doesn't he care about anything?
Was it seriously injured?
Or do you just hate everything by nature?
Lu Ming secretly wondered, but he didn't reveal anything, let alone continue to persuade Pei Yan.
We are all adults and we are responsible for our own choices.
I am just Pei Yan's friend, not his biological father or master, so I can't possibly persuade him with all my heart and soul.
The two of them are not even close friends. When interacting, you should still pay attention to propriety!
Besides, although he tried his best to make friends with Pei Yan, this kind of thing also requires "fate".
If Pei Yan was too conceited and lost his life because of it, it would only prove that he and he were not the same people at all.
If it gets lost, it’s lost!
There is no pity!
Lu Ming was so clear-headed, and he treated his relatives and fellow disciples the same way.
The term for high emotional intelligence is that he understands "respect".
To say he has low emotional intelligence is that he "doesn't love enough".
Because caring makes you chaotic, but not loving enough can make you rational and calm.
The white cat cub curled up in Lu Ming's arms didn't think too much. He just felt that the orange cub opposite him was quite capable.
Alas, I just hope it doesn’t “lose” its own poop shoveler!
After wandering around the Treasure Pavilion for a long time, Lu Ming returned with a full load, but Pei Yan didn't buy anything.
The two returned to the inn booked by Lu Ming and rested for the night. Early the next morning, they left the city together.
After leaving Blood Demon City, Lu Ming took out a flying spirit boat from his storage bag.
This is a flying magic weapon given to him by Lu Ming's parents, a rare earth-level magic weapon.
Not only can it fly in the air, the spirit boat is also engraved with a defensive array.
It can handle the three attacks of ancestors below the stage of transformation!
In Xizhou Continent, where the overall level of cultivation is not high, this can definitely be regarded as a life-saving artifact.
The flying spirit boat, which was about an inch in length, looked extremely delicate and compact. Lu Ming threw it away and poured spiritual power into it.
The spirit boat instantly grew larger in mid-air and was suspended steadily.
"Brother Pei, please!"
Lu Ming stepped forward and his whole body rose into the air.
He stood firmly on the spirit boat and condescendingly extended an invitation to Pei Yan.
"No need!"
Pei Yan refused.
It is true that he did not have parents to give him high-level magic weapons, but he had his own cultivation.
Pei Yan held the kitten in one hand and put it behind his back with the other. He activated his spiritual power and his whole body started to "float".
He "stood" directly next to the flying spirit boat, "keeping pace" with Lu Ming.
Lu Ming moved his lips. He wanted to persuade him: Brother Pei, you don't have to be like this!
Spiritual power is used to defend against enemies, not "wasted".
Pei Yan didn't even buy talismans or elixirs. If his spiritual power was exhausted due to flying, how would he deal with all the dangers there when he arrived at the Blood Mist Demonic Forest?
This is no longer just a matter of pride, but...
Inexplicably, Lu Ming felt a little regretful
: Did I make a bad move by rashly forming an alliance with Pei Yan?
Realizing this, Lu Ming swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Whatever!
It's hard to persuade a ghost to die.
This time, I can just observe more and see if there is any problem with my choice!
Lu Ming gave no more persuasion, and naturally Pei Yan wouldn't interact with him.
One person is standing on the spirit boat, and the other is suspended in mid-air.
After confirming their position, the two of them rushed towards the dense forest where the blood was shining into the sky.
Lu Ming's spirit boat is a high-level magic weapon. As long as there are enough spirit stones, it can move forward quickly.
Lu Ming secretly held his breath and did not control his speed.
He is a big dog owner and basically has no shortage of spiritual stones.
Put a few middle-grade spirit stones into the card slot of the spirit boat, and the spirit boat flies away like an arrow.
Lu Ming: ...Can Pei Yan keep up with this speed?
Pei Yan: ...What do you think!
No matter how fast Lu Ming's spirit boat was, he could catch a glimpse of a white figure not far away from the corner of his eye!
Lu Ming: ...Is this person really only at the ninth level of foundation building?
After flying for a long time, the two finally arrived above the Blood Mist Demonic Forest.
Before entering, just taking a look outside, Lu Ming felt very uncomfortable.
In addition to the roars of monsters coming from the dense forest, the thick bloody fog that filled the forest also made people instinctively repulse and even fear them.
"Brother Pei? Let's go down."
"good!"
Lu Ming put away the spirit boat and entered the dense forest with Pei Yan.
As soon as the two people walked in, they seemed to be enveloped in the thick and viscous blood mist, and their five senses seemed to be blocked.
"Ouch~"
The little white cat who was still placed in the spirit animal bag felt something keenly and hurriedly sounded a warning.
Hearing his kitten meowing urgently, Lu Ming had a thought in his mind and quickly drew out his natural weapon, slashing left and right around him!
Poof~
He actually stabbed a two-headed demon bird that was sneaking up on him.
The level of this two-headed demon bird is not high, only level three.
However, it was hiding in the blood mist for a sneak attack. If the little white cat hadn't warned him in time, it might have succeeded.
Lu Ming was very happy and released the kitten from the spirit beast bag, "Xiao Bai, you are so awesome!"
When he said this, whether intentionally or not, Lu Ming actually looked at Pei Yan and the little orange cat in his arms.
Gu Qingcheng: ...What are you looking at? Are you treating me as a control group?
PS: Hehe, a 6,000-word chapter should be considered three in one, #^_^#
