"Hehehe, elder sister, you are just saying that. I am able to achieve what I have now, and you contributed a lot to selling my chalcedony spirit-gathering pen back then." Ji Liao laughed.
"Senior was joking. At that time, I was blind and advised you not to practice the way of talismans. It's my fault that I'm making a fool of myself." The woman looked at Ji Liao's expression and said carefully.
Ji Liao took in the woman's expression and smiled bitterly in his heart. The rules of the world of immortality are really an insurmountable barrier. It is too difficult to truly make friends. Even if you don't have the idea of being superior to others, you can't stop it. Stay away from other people's defensiveness towards you.
Thinking of this, Ji Liao smiled faintly and didn't feel like continuing the conversation, so he got down to business.
"By the way, I remember you said that your Taoist companion is a disciple of Fuxian Peak, right?"
The woman hesitated when she heard the words. She didn't understand what Ji Liao meant by suddenly asking her Taoist companion, and nodded hesitantly.
"Exactly, senior, what do you want to ask my old man about?" the woman asked.
"I have something I want to ask you to do now. If it's done, the price can be negotiated." Ji Liao said.
"Senior, please tell me. If it can be done, I will be happy to do so."
"Fuxian Peak is good at refining weapons. I am in urgent need of some high-level talismans and talisman papers. I wonder if your Taoist companion can get some for me?"
"This..." The woman hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded after thinking about it, "Yes, there are high-level talisman papers sold in Fuxian Peak, but that kind of talisman papers are usually sold in It was passed down from the hands of the elders, so the price is much more expensive."
"It doesn't matter, the price is easy to talk about." Ji Liao said with a casual wave of his hand.
"That's no problem. May I ask, senior, how many talismans are needed? How long will it take to use?" The woman felt happy, knowing that a big deal was coming, and asked quickly.
"You can collect as much as you can when you go back. In short, the more the better. The spirit stones are twice as expensive as their market price. As for how long they will be used..." Ji Liao paused as he said this and looked at the sky. It was noon at this time, so I made some calculations in my mind before continuing, "I must get the talisman by tonight at the latest."
The woman was overjoyed when she heard Ji Liao's first words, but her heart suddenly sank when she heard the next words.
"Senior wants it so urgently, I'm afraid we, the husband and wife, won't be able to collect much." The woman said hesitantly.
"Just try your best." Ji Liao said.
"Then... well, I will do my best, junior." The woman nodded and agreed.
Ji Liao took a deep look at the woman and said meaningfully, "Sister, you and I are old acquaintances. This matter is very important to me. You must not delay this matter for me. ..."
The woman has been hanging out in Pepsi Pavilion all year round and has seen a lot of people. She can naturally hear the meaning of Ji Liao's words. Her body trembled and she quickly clasped her fists and bowed and said, "This junior will definitely not delay the senior's affairs."
"That's good." Ji Liao smiled again.
Suddenly, he tapped the storage bag on his waist, and ten middle-grade spiritual stones appeared in his hands.
"After you collect it, you can send it to my cave in Yuxu Peak. This is the deposit. If it is not enough, I will make up for it when you deliver it." Ji Liao handed the spirit stone to the woman's hand and said.
The woman held the spirit stone in her hand and her heart was beating wildly. She had made a lot of money this time. She quickly thanked Ji Liao, quickly put away the stall in front of her, and saluted Ji Liao.
"Junior will go now."
"Hmm..." Ji Liao nodded.
After the woman left, Ji Liao glanced at the Yanshui Peak that stretched straight into the sky. After thinking about it, he sighed in his heart and set up a ray of light to fly towards the Yanshui Peak.
Long Ji leaned lightly in the pavilion, looking at a jade bottle on the table with her watery eyes. The bottle contained a foundation-building pill, which Lu Zhu personally sent a few days ago. It was Ji Liao who took the lead in carrying out the mission. Remuneration paid.
In fact, Long Ji doesn't care about pills. Now all she cares about is Ji Liao and the child in her belly. But as Ji Liao said, the couple owe Lu Zhu a favor. If it weren't for Lu Zhu, she and Ji Liao would also It will not progress to this stage. In a sense, Lu Zhu is the benefactor of the two of them, so the couple cannot shirk the matter of Lu Zhu.
But the child in her belly didn't wait for anyone. It would take Ji Liao three years to carry out his mission. By then, the child would have been born, and Ji Liao didn't give her a title, so she had to hide the child after it was born. Everything had to wait for Ji Liao. Liao will make plans after he comes back.
She had already thought that as long as Ji Liao left, she would immediately retreat into seclusion and cut off all contact with the outside world.
Long Ji actually knew that she was pregnant with Ji Liao's child in the Annihilation Realm, but the danger in the Annihilation Realm was so dangerous that she couldn't tell Ji Liao about it. When she came back, just when she was planning to tell Ji Liao, something unexpected happened. But something like Lu Zhu happened.
She knew that as long as she told Ji Liao that she was pregnant, Ji Liao would definitely push away Lu Zhu, and Lu Zhu would not force Ji Liao to go to Huangxi, but if this happened, the couple would owe Lu Zhu But it’s big.
Long Ji has a cold personality and has never been in the habit of owing others since she started cultivating immortality. So now she can only wrong the child in her belly.
She gently stroked her belly with her hand and sighed in her heart, "Mom, I'm sorry for you."
"Long Ji, I'm here."
Just when Long Ji was in confusion, a voice suddenly came from the door of her cave, it was Ji Liao.
Long Ji moved her body and sat up. She raised her hand and was about to open the door of the cave, but she stopped.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and after thinking about it, she retracted her hand.
"Long Ji? Aren't you here?"
At this time, another call from Ji Liao came.
Long Ji sat on the bed and looked at the door of the cave, still motionless.
At this time, Xuehu came up and stood outside the pavilion. His big eyes quickly turned and hesitantly said, "Master, that man is here."
"Yes, I know." Long Ji hummed softly.
"Then...don't you see him?" Xuehu asked.
Long Ji sighed softly, "No."
It's not that Long Ji doesn't want to see Ji Liao, on the contrary, she really wants to. She really wants to tell him that she is pregnant with her child, but she knows that she can't. She is afraid that as long as she sees Ji Liao, she will never let him go again. Leaving him alone, he simply closed the cave and did not see Ji Liao.
Ji Liao called a few times outside the door, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and murmured, "Maybe Long Ji is not in the cave."
After thinking about it, he flew up and shot towards Yuxu Peak.
Returning to his cave, Ji Liao thought for a moment, then cleaned up his cave and put all the needed things into the storage bag, especially the appendix Yuzhu, which filled a secret room. I didn’t leave anything behind, I took it all with me.
This thing is so important. Although he has been away for three years, although no one will break into his cave, Ji Liao still feels that it is safest to carry these things with him.
Not long after, Ji Liao walked around his cave, checked it over, and felt that there was nothing left, so he sat down cross-legged in the hall, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye the outside world changed from noon, when the sun was shining brightly, to midnight when the sky was filled with stars.
Ji Liao has been sitting cross-legged without moving.
"Senior Ji?" At this time, a woman's cry came from outside Ji Liao's cave.
Ji Liao, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and with a slight tap of his hand, the door of the cave opened in response, and a slightly fat woman walked in.
The woman walked up to Ji Liao and bowed deeply to him, "Senior, I'm late."
A smile appeared on Ji Liao's lips, "It doesn't matter, can you finish what I dragged you to do?"
There was a look of embarrassment on the woman's face, "Senior, because you were too anxious for your request, the couple of us searched the entire Fuxian Peak and only collected more than a hundred high-level talismans in one day."
"Okay!" Ji Liao nodded, not surprised by the result.
Seeing that Ji Liao was not angry, the woman patted the storage bag on her waist, and a stack of talisman papers flew out.
Ji Liao took the talisman handed over by the woman and poured in his spiritual energy. He felt the fluctuations coming from the talisman and knew that these were high-level talismans. He nodded.
"Is the spirit stone still enough?" Ji Liao put away the talisman and looked at the woman with a smile.
"This..." The woman smiled awkwardly and said hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter, just ask." Ji Liao saw through the woman's thoughts and smiled lightly.
"Because the senior is in a hurry, the couple of us raised the price privately. The purchase price of this piece of talisman paper is about fifteen low-grade spiritual stones." After the woman finished speaking, she stared worriedly. Ji Liao.
It was a helpless move for them to raise the price privately. High-level talisman papers were too precious, and the disciples of Fuxian Peak didn't want to buy them at all.
They were willing to take action, but when they saw that they were in a hurry to buy and were asking for a lot of money, they could only grit their teeth and accept it. After all, this was not for themselves. Spending more money to purchase was not their concern. Ji Liao said that money was not an issue.
Ji Liao didn't say much. He tapped the storage bag on his waist, and a stream of light flew out, rolled up in the air and flew towards the woman.
The woman quickly took it with both hands, and when the light dimmed, twenty middle-grade spiritual stones appeared.
The woman was stunned, feeling happy at first, and then cautiously glanced at Ji Liao, "Senior Ji, this is too much."
"Take it, you did a good job this time, consider the remaining spirit stones as a gift from me." Ji Liao chuckled.
"But, this is too much, junior..."
"Okay, I have something else to do. You can go back." Ji Liao interrupted the woman and waved his hand.
"This..." The woman's words paused, and then she quickly bowed to Ji Liaoshen, "Thank you very much, senior. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he trotted away from Ji Liao's cave, as if he was afraid that Ji Liao would regret it.
After the woman left, Ji Liao moved closer to the door of the cave, and the door of the cave was closed.
Ji Liao took out the high-level talisman, his eyes moved, and he stood up and walked into the bombed stone room.
