"Middle stage of foundation building!" Ji Liao's eyes flickered, he looked at the woman who walked into the shop, and whispered in his heart. Before others could come forward, he took two quick steps to meet her.
"Senior, you are so great, but you are welcome from afar." Ji Liao smiled and cupped his hands at the woman.
This woman is none other than Zeng Qin, the elder of the Fire Bird Sect.
After the disciple reported that day, Zeng Qin waited in the sect for another ten days, but there was still no news about the spies.
Zeng Qin couldn't sit still. It had been so long. If she didn't give an explanation to her ancestor, she might not be able to reap the rewards. She was regretting taking on this task more and more, but she couldn't undo it.
Recalling what the disciple reported, Zeng Qin thought of taking a look.
Zeng Qin didn't say anything when he saw Ji Liao coming. Instead, he took the lead and looked at the first floor of the store, and then his eyes swept over the faces of the waiters.
Ji Liao frowned and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He rolled his eyes quickly and asked, "Senior, is this your first time coming to our shop?"
"Yeah!" Zeng Qin nodded lightly.
"I don't know what you want to buy, senior. The shop does business in both places. Shendong and Huangxi have a complete range of spiritual herbs and spiritual materials."
"Hmm... I want to see if there are any pills that can improve the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage!" Zeng Qin thought about it and said casually.
Ji Liao frowned unnoticeably, "Ah haha, senior, this kind of elixir is too precious. We don't have it on this floor. You have to ask about that kind of elixir on the third floor. I can't say whether it is available there." This precious elixir.”
"Then lead the way!" Zeng Qin nodded happily.
"Please!" Ji Liao made a gesture of invitation and led Zeng Qin towards the stairs on the third floor.
Along the way, Ji Liao thought about Zeng Qin's reaction when he came in. He had been working in this shop for more than a year, and there were many monks in the foundation-building period among them, but those people were without exception. They never paid attention to them when they came here. The waiters in the store, and even the waiters who came to greet me, didn’t pay too much attention.
Moreover, Ji Liao tentatively asked Zeng Qin what he wanted to buy!
Zeng Qin's reaction was even more abnormal. When she spoke, it was as if she had an impromptu idea. She only remembered what she wanted to buy when she got here. This was even more abnormal.
Ji Liao was thinking about something, so he didn't say anything to Zeng Qin.
While the two were walking, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Liao.
"What's your name? Are you from Shendong or Huangxi?"
When Ji Liao heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart tightened.
The identity of guys like them, let alone foundation-building monks, even a sect's Qi-receiving monks would not be able to take the initiative to ask their names and places of birth.
At the same time, Ji Liao has seen too many people, and his ability to observe words and emotions has reached its peak. When he saw this woman for the first time, based on the aura exuding from her body, Ji Liao was able to judge that this woman usually
He is definitely a man of few words and difficult to get along with.
Now that he took the initiative to ask a waiter's name, coupled with all the previous actions, Ji Liao's heart suddenly started to beat, and he kept beating wildly.
"I'm Zhang Fan, I'm from Huangxi!"
Ji Liao stopped and turned around to look at Zeng Qin and replied with a smile.
"Oh?" The surprise in Zeng Qin's eyes flashed away, he paused in his steps, looked at Ji Liao up and down, and said softly.
Ji Liao's honest face did not change at all, and he asked, "Senior, is he an immortal master from the nearby Fire Bird Sect?"
"Yeah!" Zeng Qin heard Ji Liao's words and didn't answer. He just said lightly.
Then the two of them walked towards the third floor.
Not long after, the two arrived at the door of the third floor.
"Senior, please, please. Guys like me are not qualified to enter this floor. Someone will greet you as soon as you enter." Ji Liao looked at Zeng Qin and said with a smile.
Zeng Qin didn't even glance at the attic. Instead, he looked at Ji Liao and nodded lightly, "Go down."
"Yes!" Ji Liao bowed deeply to Zeng Qin, then turned back and went downstairs.
"What kind of skill does this kid practice? Why can't I see his cultivation level? But judging from the fluctuations he emits, he should be at the third or fourth level of Naqi. How could this be? Could it be that he is practicing a secret cultivation level? Is it caused by the failure of the technique?" Zeng Qin stared at Ji Liao's back for a long time and thought to himself.
Ji Liao's steps were smooth and there was nothing unusual about him, but the expression on his face was gloomy and scary at this moment.
After arriving on the first floor, Ji Liao and Lu Zhu looked at each other, then continued busy without saying anything more.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the Huiyuan store closed on time as usual.
At this time, the sky was still bright with moonlight and few stars. The workers who had been busy all day returned to their cabins and went to bed early.
"Junior Brother Ji, you are too nervous." In the small room, Lu Zhu lay casually on the bed, moving his mouth slightly to send a message to Ji Liao.
Ji Liao frowned and said nothing.
The more he thought about the woman from the Fire Bird Sect he met today, the more something was wrong. He finally stayed up until night and told Lu Zhu about it, but to his surprise, Lu Zhu didn't take it seriously at all.
During this year, Ji Liao has been cautious, fearing that his identity will be exposed if he makes a wrong move, and the thread in his heart is always tight.
But Lu Zhu was free and easy and indifferent by nature. Although he was always careful, he was far less vigilant than Ji Liao.
"How about you explain the woman's reaction today?" Ji Liao thought about it and asked.
"It seems that you will be going back in a few months. I think you are too nervous. I think your reaction is normal. Humans, who can be as cold as an ice cube?" Zhu turned over and looked at Ji Liao with a smile on his face.
"It just makes sense if it's the Qi-receiving period, but it seems abnormal during the foundation-building period." Ji Liao still frowned and stared.
Said Lu Zhu.
"If only I could!" Lu Zhu replied almost without thinking.
"You..." Ji Liao was so angry at Lu Zhu that he couldn't speak. He didn't know what to say immediately. He shook his head lightly. Presumably, Lu Zhu's character would have done the same thing as that woman. .
It's just that Lu Zhu's scheming is too simple. Not everyone in the world is as easy to talk to as him, especially between the foundation-building stage and the qi-receiving stage. There is a huge gap between the two. The foundation-building stage is in front of the qi-receiving stage. He is a superior being. In the eyes of monks in the foundation building stage, those in the Qi receiving stage are not even as good as an ant. How many people would ask questions about juniors they don't know?
"Hey... I hope I'm worrying too much." After a long time, Ji Liao sighed.
"That's right. Don't worry. In my opinion, it's caused by long-term mental stress. You can learn from me and relax. There are so many worries in this world." Lu Zhu Jianji Liao Zai persisted and immediately comforted him with a smile.
Ji Liao's brows moved and he shook his head in his mind, "You were born in a big family and you are a genius, how can you understand the dangers of human heart."
After a while, Ji Liao still felt uneasy and tapped the storage bag on his waist. Several streams of light flew out of it and flew towards the bed where Lu Zhu was.
Lu Zhu raised one hand, and the stream of light fell into his hand, revealing a dozen red and white talismans.
"This is..." Lu Zhu looked at the talisman in his hand in surprise and asked in confusion.
"These are thirteen high-level top-notch talismans, called the Fire Feather Cracking Sky Talisman. They fly very fast. You put the talismans away. I still feel something is wrong. If something happens with these talismans, you should use these talismans to leave first. "Ji Liao stared at Lu Zhu solemnly and said.
"What! High-level top-level!" Lu Zhu was shocked when he heard that he was holding a high-level top-level talisman. He looked at Ji Liao in disbelief. Then he remembered Ji Liao's words, and his face suddenly looked bad, "Junior Brother Ji What do you mean by this? How could I, Lu, run away alone if I were in danger? You look down on me, Lu Zhu, so take your talisman back!"
After saying that, he stood up and handed the talisman in front of Ji Liao with an unhappy expression.
Ji Liao did not reach out to pick it up, but looked at Lu Zhu with a smile.
Lu Zhu was a very good person, without any tricks, and he and Ji Liao treated each other sincerely, which Ji Liao could see.
Seeing Lu Zhu's appearance, Ji Liao also stood up and said, "I don't mean anything else. Your escape speed is slower than mine, and you have also seen that my spirit beast's escape speed is extremely fast. Even if someone is Even if you are entangled, you still have a chance to escape. If something happens in the future, I can escape easily, but once you and I are entangled, it will not be that simple to escape!"
When Lu Zhu heard this, his movements froze, his eyes moved, and the expression on his face immediately softened. He was not a petty person, and he was not angry because Ji Liao said that he was not as good as him, but because
Ji Liao was a little moved for his own sake.
"Junior Brother Ji, this..." Lu Zhu hesitated immediately. He knew what Ji Liao said was right. One person is always easier to escape than two people, and his escape speed was really slow compared to Ji Liao's. It's just a little bit off, but a big difference.
"Haha, don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about. If one day, even if I am chased by a Golden Core monk, Ji believes that even a Golden Core monk won't be able to catch up with me." Ji Liao was swarthy. His eyes were shining brightly, and he stared at Lu Zhu with confidence and said.
Although Ji Liao said it casually, who could have imagined that in the near future, his words would become a prophecy and become reality.
Lu Zhu looked directly into Ji Liao's eyes and nodded solemnly, "Then I will accept it."
"Well, remember, if something happens, you should run away immediately. I believe that with these talismans, no one will be able to catch up with you for a while during the foundation building period!" Ji Liao warned again.
In the night sky, a figure stood quietly in the void. Her face was gloomy, and her eyes flashed coldly. She looked down at a small cabin in the backyard of Huiyuan Shop, but it was none other than Zeng Qin.
Zeng Qin didn't notice anything today, but after returning to the sect, she still felt uneasy. As time passed, she became impatient even if she wanted to visit her ancestor.
After thinking about it, she decided to kill the Shendong boy named Zhang Fan she met today regardless of whether he was a spy or not. She would just kill him as a scapegoat and give an explanation to her ancestors. She thought that she would add fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire to everything that happened to this boy. You should be able to get away with some excuses.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Zeng Qin's eyes, and he immediately pinched several spells with both hands in front of him. Then he opened his mouth slightly, and a red light flew out of his mouth.
It rolled up in the air, and a palm-sized flaming bird with flapping wings appeared, burning with flames.
Zeng Qin pointed at the cabin below.
The flame bird immediately flapped its wings and flew downwards as if it was spiritual.
