"It's getting late, let's do the rest of the work tomorrow!"
Following Zhao Cheng's words, Wan Ming ran away happily. He didn't know what made him so excited.
Ye Bai smiled and left. It was already late at night when he returned to Bixiao Peak. From a distance, he saw that the lights in the attic were still on, and Ye Bai felt a sense of home in his heart.
I quickly came to Chongyun Building and found that the lights were still on in the master's room. After thinking about it, I knocked slowly on the door three times.
"Come in." Li Dongshan's gentle voice came from the room.
Ye Bai pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Master hasn't rested yet."
"Not bad. Seeing that your aura has increased slightly, it seems that you have a chance to make a breakthrough today?" Li Dongshan asked with a smile.
"Yeah. I'm pretty lucky." Ye Bai nodded with a smile.
Li Dongshan threw him a scroll of jade slips and said: "This Qi Condensation Art can help you hide your cultivation. It will be difficult for people a level higher than you to find it. You will still have to learn to hide it when you go out in the future."
"Thank you, master." Ye Bai picked up the jade slip and put it into the ring.
"I'm waiting for you tonight just to inform you. Last time I told Lao Cheng about helping him gather the Star Formation. Do you still remember it?"
Li Dongshan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"Oh? Are these two days about to start?" Ye Bai asked while drinking the hot tea handed over by the master.
"Yeah. So you go ask your teacher for two days off tomorrow. How have you been studying inscriptions these days?"
"There are still about a hundred or so basic inscriptions left to learn." Ye Bai answered honestly.
"It seems that you have worked hard during this period. Don't push yourself too hard."
Li Dongshan touched his apprentice's head, and Ye Bai smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. This is the happiest and most comfortable time for me in recent years."
"It's a good thing to like to practice, but it's never good to do anything too much. I'll let you rest for half a day tomorrow and go out for a walk. I heard Zhao Laosan said that you promised others to take good care of the little girl named Xi Ya and take her out tomorrow. Let’s have some fun.”
Ye Bai nodded and agreed. During this period of time, he often communicated with Xiya. She was a lively and smart little girl.
I promised to take her out to play a few days ago, but I haven't had time recently. This time it was just right to go out together.
"It's late at night, you should go to bed early."
After saying this, Li Dongshan closed his eyes and rested his mind, and Ye Bai also quietly resigned.
………
Ye Bai had a very solid sleep. When he woke up, he went to absorb the morning glow between heaven and earth. Then he came to the practice room and started a series of operations such as refining Qi, refining sea heart water, and practicing inscriptions.
He had to go for a walk with Xia today, so he didn't practice the Five Elements spells. So far, he has only practiced fireball and fire escape. Fireball is a bit simpler and he has already started. Fire escape is still being learned.
After finishing everything, Ye Bai quickly ran down the mountain, because he always came at noon and rarely saw the market in the morning.
At this time, the market was bustling with people, and the surrounding area was filled with the sounds of hawking. Ye Bai couldn't help but slow down, and occasionally stopped in front of some lively stalls to watch.
After a while, they arrived at Wan Lian Fang, and Xia was sitting quietly and obediently on the seat on the right side in a daze.
"Xia, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Bai stepped forward and sat directly opposite her. At this time, she came back to her senses and saw the smiling Ye Bai opposite her and said with a smile:
"I was wondering when someone would take me out for a walk?" Siya looked at Ye Bai with a slightly resentful look.
"I have a day off today. I came here to take you out to play." Ye Bai raised his hand awkwardly and pointed to the door of the store.
"How's it going? My only day off was spent on you. Are you satisfied?" Ye Bai asked with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for? I'll go talk to Uncle Zhao and let's go..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiya ran to find Zhao Cheng excitedly.
"I'll go with you." Ye Bai followed closely.
The two came to the backyard and saw Zhao Cheng, Feng Ying and Wan Kong talking about weapons, but Wan Ming did not see them.
After they waited for Zhao Cheng to finish speaking, Xiya immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zhao, I want to go shopping with Xiaobai today."
"You should call me Ye Bai! Xiaobai's name always feels weird." Ye Bai protested helplessly from the side.
Zhao Cheng nodded in agreement, "It's a good idea to go out for a walk, so as not to get too suffocated. Your kid must take good care of Xiaoya for me, do you hear me?"
Ye Bai nodded, "Teacher, I promised to carve an inscription for Peak Master Yuanchen some time ago, so I wanted to come over and take another two days off."
Zhao Cheng nodded in agreement and waved his hand, indicating that they should go out and play.
It was already noon when the two came out, and they were going to find a place to eat something first.
Ye Bai took her to sit down at the old tavern where she had eaten here for the first time. Although she had been here for a while, she was still unfamiliar with it.
As soon as he entered the store, the waiter came over immediately. At this time, there were a few people scattered in the store. He took Siya to find a quiet seat by the window and sit down.
"Xiaoya, take a look first. If you like anything, feel free to eat. I'll treat you. Don't worry."
Ye Bai handed Xi Ya the menu handed over by the waiter.
Sia took his menu and smiled: "Then I'm welcome."
Ye Bai raised his hand to indicate that he was free to do so. After all, he had some wealth after robbing Lu Jie and Li Cheng.
After Xia finished ordering, Ye Bai called the waiter and handed him the menu.
After the guy left, Ye Bai looked at the lively crowd outside the window and asked, "To be honest, I haven't been around here yet. I haven't had much time. Xiaoya, have you been there during the time you've been here?"
"Brother Wan Ming and I went to the Fang Market on South Street, but I haven't been to North Street either."
After Xiya's explanation, he learned that Nuoda's market is divided into South Street and North Street. South Street mainly sells various weapons, elixirs, spiritual clothes and other items. Wanlianfang is located on South Street.
On the other hand, North Street is a bit more complicated, with a little bit of everything. Some outside casual cultivators basically set up stalls and buy in the North Street area. Because of the existence of the Immortal Sect, there have been no fights in the entire city, and the casual cultivators who come here to set up stalls are willing to pay some protection fees.
Soon the delicious spiritual food was put on the table. Although Siya ate very gracefully, she was really not slow. The oily monster meat went with the dishes and she ate it with the spiritual rice. Siya's eyes narrowed with a smile. got up.
After eating, she drank a cup of hot tea, and the afternoon sun shone on her hair. Everything was so comfortable and leisurely.
Ye Bai also enjoyed this quiet moment. The two of them ate, drank and rested for a while before leaving.
This meal cost more than a hundred spiritual stones. If it weren't for some family members who really couldn't afford it, the high-grade spiritual stones he wanted to collect were still far away!
"Xiao Bai, let's go over there and take a look first." Before Ye Bai could reply, Siya pulled him and ran towards a place full of people.
At this time, many people were watching a muscular man in the stands in front of him, punching a column made of crystal stone.
There is a crystal scale next to the spar that lights up.
"The scale is sixty-two feet, failed."
The big man sighed and got off the stage. Then someone, a young man in blue, confidently stepped forward and punched him.
"The scale is seven feet to one, failure."
The young man in blue sighed and got off the stage. When Ye Bai heard the people around him talking, he realized that the stand was a kind of strength tester. Anyone who could reach nine feet with pure strength during the Qi Refining Stage would be richly rewarded.
Although there is a registration fee of hundreds of spiritual stones, there are still many people who are confident and want to try it.
Ye Bai knew how much he weighed, so he didn't have that idea. Who knew that Xia next to him was interested.
"Xiao Bai, I will win the grand prize for you and give it to you." Siya said confidently.
Ye Bai naturally thought she was joking and had no hope, but he still took out the spirit stone and signed up for her. After all, she just came out to have fun.
When the boss saw someone signing up, he accepted the spirit stone with a smile. For him, there is only one person who can hit nine feet with pure force during the Qi training period. This business is not just about sitting and collecting money comfortably. very.
Xiya also walked onto the stage with relaxed steps, and people on and off the stage also started talking.
“Do you think this little girl can hit nine feet with her skinny arms and legs?
"You are stupid and have a lot of money, so let's just watch the excitement."
…………
Xia didn't care what the people in the audience thought. She stood in front of Jingzhu and was about to start punching. The boss sitting on the side of the stage was also drinking tea leisurely. Seeing that the little girl didn't even build up her strength, she planned to punch. He knew there was no suspense anymore.
Boom~
A muffled thunder-like sound rang out, blasting into everyone's ears. The entire lapis lazuli stand shook, and the boss drinking tea was choked.
"The scale is nine feet full, success."
There was silence on and off the stage at this time. Following the man's announcement, everyone cheered. Although they did not pass, this joy was also conveyed.
Ye Bai was also shocked. He didn't expect that Xia's weak body could burst out with such terrifying strength. This strength could not even block a punch.
But Siya simply clapped her hands, stepped down from the stage and came to his side. She took him and went to the boss to collect the prize.
The boss didn't expect to encounter a monster today. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the gift box that was already a little dusty and said:
"Little girl, your strength is invincible even to monsters. This is your gift."
"Thank you, boss." Xiya shook the gift box and thanked her before throwing the gift box to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai opened it and saw that it was actually a foundation building pill. He didn't expect it, but it could sell a lot of spiritual stones.
After all, this thing is indeed fatally attractive to casual cultivators, but in the sect, once the strength reaches the ninth level of Qi refining, one can be exchanged for one in the sect.
If the foundation-building pill is unsuccessful, you can redeem it with contribution points next time, but each person can redeem it a maximum of times. This is mainly to prevent malicious sales of foundation-building pills.
The two then went to the shops on West Street to browse around, although they didn't buy anything.
I also watched the on-site mining of gambling stones. These stones are produced from some restricted mines, and all kinds of strange things can be mined from them.
Some people want to get rich overnight. Although it does happen, the chance is too small. However, there are still many people who try, always holding on to the idea that they might be the lucky one.
Xia had a great time shopping today. Although she wanted to follow her mother all the time, she rarely had such a relaxing moment, and Ye Bai was very accommodating to her.
Thinking of this, he squinted his crescent-shaped eyes and looked at Ye Bai beside him, smiling:
"Thank you, Xiaobai."
"Ah? Why do you say that suddenly?" Ye Bai asked, chewing the ice ball in his hand.
Siya just smiled and said nothing, and the two of them walked around until sunset before going back.
