Chapter 233 I am Su Yanqing
Chapter 233 I am Su Yanqing
The wandering cultivator wanted to turn hostile, but before he could do anything, the guards patrolling the city captured him, leaving her alone there, still a little confused.
Isn't this efficiency in combating crime a bit too high?
She ordered a bowl of wontons at the wonton stall, and the lady who ran it kindly explained to her, "That thief is a repeat offender. He's been to jail several times. Everyone in the city knows him well. As soon as you made a sound, someone immediately reported it to the patrolling guards, which is why they arrived so quickly and took him away."
Jiang Liqian suddenly realized and swallowed a fresh and delicious wonton.
"Thank you, Auntie." She thanked me.
The old lady was stirring the delicious broth in the pot with a spoon. Upon hearing this, she smiled kindly and asked her, "Little girl, are you a fairy from the mountains?"
Jiang Liqian didn't want to reveal her sect, so she lied and said, "No, I'm just a casual cultivator. I traveled here and will be leaving in a few days."
The old lady nodded, put down the spoon, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked over to bring Jiang Liqian another plate of side dishes.
"Little girl, I'm running out of the spiritual pork I use to make wontons. There are many spiritual pigs roaming around the outermost part of the Wasteland Forest. Can you help me catch one? I'll give you 30% more spiritual stones at the market. How about that?"
Jiang Liqian was stunned by the way she ate the wontons. She didn't expect that someone would want to hire her for a job.
When she looked up and saw the old lady's eyes filled with pity and love, she suddenly understood.
Independent cultivators do not receive support from the sect, and have to search for any cultivation resources on their own in various secret realms, so generally speaking, independent cultivators are very poor.
She was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed simply and walking alone. The lady at the wonton stall probably thought that she had no parents and was wandering around alone, so she wanted to give her more spirit stones by hunting spirit pigs, while taking care of her "fragile" self-esteem.
Although the Wild Swamp Forest is dangerous, there is no danger at the outermost part, and the spirit pigs are very docile, so this request is not difficult.
Although Jiang Liqian was not short of spirit stones, since the old lady said so, she couldn't refuse her kindness.
After finishing the last large wonton with thin skin and rich filling, she wiped her mouth and stood up: "Auntie, please wait here. Don't close the stall. I will bring the spirit pig back to you in a while."
The lady at the wonton stall smiled and nodded, telling her to go without worry, and that she would wait here for her to come back and then treat her to a bowl of wontons.
Jiang Liqian thanked him repeatedly and boarded a boat heading straight for the desolate forest.
Nine years ago, there was an unusual movement in the Huangze Forest, and she didn't know what the final outcome of the Discipline Hall was. But fortunately, her third senior sister returned to the sect safely, so she didn't think about it anymore.
Now it was her turn to come to this vast and enchanting forest.
Most of the disciples of the Qiankun Sect would regard Huangzelin as their first place to go out for training. The central part of Huangzelin is indeed full of dangers, but it is actually safer than other places to just fight monsters in the periphery and improve one's actual combat strength.
After getting off the Yiye Boat, Jiang Liqian released his spiritual sense.
After building her foundation, she was able to freely control and release her spiritual consciousness. Perhaps it was because she had lived an extra life, but her cultivation of spiritual consciousness was very fast. Although she was only in the initial stage of building her foundation, the range of her spiritual consciousness could already cover an area of about fifty meters.
This may not be a big deal compared to the powerful ones who can easily cover an entire mountain range, but being able to control and release spiritual consciousness while building the foundation is basically something only cultivators who specialize in spiritual consciousness can do.
Looking at the entire world of cultivation, there are probably only a handful of people who can do what Jiang Liqian did.
With the help of her spiritual consciousness, she quickly found her target.
On a small hill in the distance, there happened to be a group of clever pigs eating grass. Each one of them was fat and strong, and the whole body was white, which made people happy.
The meat of the spirit pig is more delicate and mild than that of other monsters, and is perfect for making wonton fillings.
Since there were so many of them, Jiang Liqian thought about it and decided to bring two back for Auntie.
With his hands quickly forming seals, two small fire butterflies flew along the hillside, one from left to right, the other from right to left, and both flew around the spirit pigs. Before the spirit pigs could react, a circle of spirit fire surrounded them.
None of them can escape.
The spirit pig has low attack power and slow reaction, but at this moment, no matter how slow its reaction is, it can still sense the danger.
But the spirit pigs were afraid of fire by nature. Although the fire was not big, no spirit pig dared to rush out and risk being roasted. They all crowded together, wailing, pushing and shoving.
Jiang Liqian appeared and stood among them in one leap.
"Don't be afraid, sister will only randomly take away two of you, and will not kill you all." Jiang Liqian was in a rare good mood, and said with a smile, then formed seals again, and two demon-binding formations controlled the two spirit pigs inside.
Just as Jiang Liqian was about to extinguish the fire circle and let the other spirit pigs go, a light laugh came from behind the big tree next to her.
Jiang Liqian instantly became alert and held a talisman in her hand: "Who?"
The person who came was definitely not an ordinary person as he was able to get so close to her quietly and just outside her range of awareness.
The chuckle was heard again, and a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes came out from behind the big tree. He smiled and waved his hands: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you from catching the spirit pig. It's really..." He tried his best to hold it back, but he couldn't help laughing.
"You...you're about to eat them, yet you're still...kindly trying to comfort them. This is so funny, haha..."
Jiang Li has a dark face.
"Don't laugh!"
The young man covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. However, under Jiang Liqian's terrifying and accusing eyes, he managed to stop laughing well.
Raising his hand to brush the branches in front of him, he walked towards her.
A handsome face suddenly appeared in the densely shaded forest. Fine and fragmented golden light fell on his body through the gaps between the leaves, as if his body was covered with light flakes.
The young man, wearing a bamboo moon-colored Taoist robe, a light golden belt, a frost-white jade crown, and a piece of dark black jade hanging on it, looked like a god descended into the mortal world among the shadows of the trees. He was so handsome that it was beyond words.
Even Jiang Liqian, who had seen many handsome boys, was stunned when she saw the other person for the first time.
It’s really very beautiful.
That kind of pure beauty.
So pure, as if it doesn't fit in with this world.
But it was just a moment of distraction, and Jiang Liqian narrowed her eyes, ready to blow him to pieces if the other party took another step forward.
However, just as she thought this, the young man in fancy clothes stopped.
She raised an eyebrow.
"My name is Su Yanqing, an ordinary casual cultivator. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."
