Chapter 515 Miss, would you like to stay at the inn?
Each tear was more bitter than the last, and Jiang Liqian used all her strength to make herself sound like she was crying.
“I know, Second Senior Brother.”
"I'll be fine, I won't be sad anymore, don't worry about me."
Fu Wennian turned around and looked at Jiang Liqian inside the barrier. Although he didn't know her exact location, he still tried his best to give her a reassuring smile: "Junior Sister, take good care of yourself inside for the next month. The sect competition is coming up soon, and the sect will be very busy. I'll come to pick you up when you come out."
"I'm leaving... Just think of it as a change of scenery for my training. Don't overthink it, and don't slack off, understand?"
Jiang Li turned her back and kept wiping away the tears on her face with her hands.
"I know, Second Brother, I'm not a child anymore..."
Fu Wennian's eyes turned slightly red.
Yes, their master is gone, and they are no longer children.
I can't be a child anymore.
But she still has him, and Zhenfeng still has him. He will urge his senior brother to study hard and practice diligently, so as not to live up to their master's great reputation.
"I am leaving."
Turning around, his slender, jade-like figure gradually faded into an unreal phantom under the bright sunlight of Sanyan Cliff.
Jiang Liqian subconsciously turned around to chase after that figure, but the barrier between them only allowed her to watch him leave, looking desolate and lonely.
"Second Senior Brother, don't make the same choice as Master!"
"No, Master! No, and you can't either! I don't want to!"
The already distant figure paused for a moment, then disappeared into the horizon of the sea of clouds.
Jiang Liqian closed her eyes and swallowed all the sourness in her mouth.
She cannot be a burden to Zhenfeng; she should pull herself together.
Taking a deep breath of cool air, Jiang Liqian opened her eyes, preparing to calm herself and continue her cultivation.
Only if she is strong enough can she ensure that the people she cherishes are well.
......................................................
She reached out and pressed down hard on the brim of her hat, making sure her face was completely hidden behind the curtain. Shen Qingqing hid behind the crowd and entered a very deserted inn in the blink of an eye.
As soon as she entered, her eyes scanned the surroundings, memorizing the terrain and the number of people peeking out, her expression extremely vigilant.
"Miss, looking for a place to stay?"
"No, just a private room. We'll leave right after we finish our meal."
"Please come this way, watch out for the steps."
Following the waiter upstairs, they arrived at a private room facing the street. Shen Qingqing casually ordered a few dishes and sat quietly at the table.
The dishes were served in no time, but she didn't touch them. After the person who delivered the food left, she immediately checked with the system in her mind again: "Will the person who bought this really meet me here?"
[Replying to host: Yes, this system has confirmed there are no errors.]
"How did he know that I... stole this thing as you said?"
[This system is only responsible for providing the host with reliable and effective opportunities. It does not have the authority to analyze other people's martial arts techniques. If the host wants to know how the other party knew that the host carried the Golden Scale Key, they can spend points to inquire. Does the host confirm the deduction of these points?]
"..." She was truly exasperated with this broken system. It kept asking for points all the time. Could it please stop being so greedy?
She went through so many dangerous missions on this trip down the mountain, barely managing to recover some of her losses, and now she's being asked to spend points again? Ha, her curiosity isn't so strong that she absolutely has to know.
"No need. How much longer until he arrives?"
[Reporting to host, the person has arrived.]
As soon as the system's voice finished speaking, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the door of the room.
Shen Qingqing's expression hardened. After confirming once again that her appearance would not be recognized, she got up and went to open the door to the room.
At the doorway stood a man whose appearance was obscured, wearing a strange half-gray fox mask. Upon seeing the door open, he said nothing and walked straight in.
The door was closed by a burst of spiritual energy. Shen Qingqing pouted and followed them inside, sitting down by the window.
"Things." The hoarse male voice sounded very distorted.
Shen Qingqing did not immediately take out the Golden Scale Key, but instead clenched her fist and tapped the table.
The meaning is clear: we need to put up the "price" of the sale so she can see if it's worth it.
Although Shen Qingqing didn't know what the Golden Scale Key was for, the place where it was guarded was heavily guarded and surrounded by multiple barriers. Even with the system's help, it still took her a lot of effort. Moreover, the system rewarded her with an unprecedented number of points for obtaining the key, so it must be quite valuable.
With so many treasures in the Tianqian Sect, and having dedicated two lifetimes to it, she couldn't afford to lose out by taking one or two treasures as compensation.
Of course, if she knew that this thing was the heart of that annoying young lady who always protected Jiang Liqian, she would have been even happier to steal it.
The man wearing the fox mask did not stand idly by with Shen Qingqing. Instead, he readily placed a Qiankun bag on the table, casually wiped off the divine sense imprint on it, and pushed it away.
Shen Qingqing couldn't wait to use her divine sense to probe into the Qiankun bag, wanting to see what treasures were inside.
But when he saw that there was only a lonely little jade box inside, he was first stunned, and then reluctantly opened the jade box again. Unexpectedly, there was a grayish purse inside.
Shen Qingqing frowned, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
She wondered if she had been tricked.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to curse, she tried to probe her purse with her divine sense, but was unexpectedly bounced back by a force.
A sudden surge of energy coursed through her mind, making her dizzy and nauseous.
"What is it?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Clouds, Water, and Sharp Stones".
Shen Qingqing paused as she was about to vomit, her eyes widening in astonishment, her mouth almost big enough to fit an egg.
"Yunshuijian Stone?!"
real or fake!
This is a rare treasure that is not bound by the Five Elements and can elevate all her spiritual roots to a higher level. Even though she searched for so long with the help of the system in her previous life, she still couldn't find this. Now it's just... openly and brazenly placed in her hands?
No, she had to let the system check to make sure it wasn't deliberately lying to her.
Upon receiving Shen Qingqing's instruction, the system immediately began scanning, and after confirmation, an electronic sound rang out.
[Host, confirmed. It is indeed the Cloud Water Tip Stone. With it, your Water and Wood Spiritual Roots can be upgraded to Superior Grade, and your Metal, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Roots can be purified of impurities, reaching Mid Grade.]
Upon hearing the system's affirmative voice, Shen Qingqing screamed with excitement, her expression becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Fortunately, the curtain concealed her from losing her composure.
Once she can raise all her spiritual roots to the superior grade, what is Jiang Liqian? Just a lightning spiritual root, nothing special. She is the true unparalleled genius!
Only she is qualified to step through that immortal gate.
Only her!
Overwhelmed with excitement and joy, Shen Qingqing almost dropped the golden scale key she was holding. She tossed the key to the other person and eagerly put the cloud and water stone into her arms.
