Chapter 61 We Are of One Mind
"Senior brother, where have you been so early in the morning?"
Xu Nian had just returned to her room early in the morning.
Wu Qinghuan, who had just been sleeping in and hadn't gotten out of bed yet, was sitting on a stool, dressed neatly in her robe, squinting at me.
startled him.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
"I am your uncle."
"You want to swear, huh?"
Wu Qinghuan pouted, "Running out so early in the morning, could it be that you've run into some senior sister? Are you going out for a secret rendezvous?"
Xu Nian nodded with a smile, "Yes."
After speaking, he took out two storage bags from his waist.
One of them stayed behind.
One of them was thrown to Wu Qinghuan.
"what is this?"
"You'll know if you open it and take a look."
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can already use some simple magical artifacts.
For example, storage bags.
Jade pendant for storage.
Or perhaps it's about controlling a spirit sword and riding it.
Wu Qinghuan channeled her spiritual power into her storage bag.
Upon opening it, I was stunned.
"So much silver? And so many spirit stones? What's going on?"
"The cultivation pills we exchanged for those rare herbs last time were delivered ahead of schedule by my senior sister. This time, she converted the remaining value of the herbs into spirit stones. Oh, and the silver was a gift."
"Senior Sister? Shangguan Ling?" Wu Qinghuan narrowed her eyes.
Xu Nian shook her head. "No, it seems that Senior Sister Shangguan has some mental issues. She's locked herself in her cave and has been cultivating every day. She says she won't come out until she reaches the Nascent Soul stage."
I wish her success.
Hearing that Xu Nian hadn't gone out to meet Shangguan Ling, Wu Qinghuan felt much better.
But then Xu Nian said, "Senior Sister Shangguan is such a kind person. The spirit stones have already offset the value of the rare and precious materials, and she also gave us so much silver, and even this storage bag."
Xu Nian felt a pang of pain. "It's not good to keep taking other people's things. I'm thinking about how to return some of them, otherwise it will be difficult to handle if I owe too many favors."
Wu Qinghuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
He agreed with Xu Nian's words.
But how to repay it is the question.
Both the senior and junior disciples were new to the profession and had no background or connections.
How can I repay this?
Wu Qinghuan remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Senior Brother."
"What's the matter?"
"Go and repay him with your body."
"What's the matter?"
Xu Nian was stunned.
Has Wu Qinghuan, that stinky junior brother, gone mad?
Is something wrong with your brain?
What are you talking about?
Xu Nian said irritably, "Why don't you offer yourself to him?"
Wu Qinghuan blinked her eyes.
"She wouldn't even look at me. If she did, I could have her too. After all, Senior Sister Shangguan has such a good status, I'm sure many cultivators like her. By the way, doesn't Senior Brother like her?"
"I?"
Xu Nian thought for a moment and then shook her head.
In my past life, Senior Sister Shangguan Ling treated me very well. After my cultivation improved, I accompanied her to complete many of her requests.
Later, in order to forge a sword for her, they went together into the Xuan Yue Great Forest.
Slay the peak Nascent Soul stage demon beast.
His soul was sealed within the spirit sword.
Suppressed as a sword spirit.
This can be considered as repaying the kindness shown to me before.
At that time, the Demonic Sect was rampant, and the Sword Sect disciples suffered heavy casualties, with many elders dying in battle.
There's not much time for romance.
Thinking about it now, Xu Nian still doesn't feel anything.
"I don't have any particular thoughts. Senior Sister Shangguan Ling is a good person, but we're not quite compatible. How should I put it... we're not a good match."
After Xu Nian finished speaking, she looked at Wu Qinghuan.
He said half-jokingly, "Speaking of compatibility, we are indeed very compatible. You know what I'm going to do, and you always find out when I want to spank you."
When Xu Nian said those words, Wu Qinghuan's expression was still normal.
But as she continued, her expression suddenly turned strange.
His face was gloomy, as if he was suppressing a fire.
Rogue senior brother!
Is this something to be proud of?
Getting caught spanking! What's so great about that!
"Senior brother, you're not allowed to spank me anymore!" Wu Qinghuan said angrily.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Xu Nian clearly didn't listen.
The air was slightly cool.
The two of them ate something together in the morning.
Then they went to the deacon's hall.
Disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage can accept some simple tasks without the need for their senior brothers and sisters to accompany them.
Xu Nian thought that since the two of them had just received so many spirit stones and silver, they should go down the mountain for a trip.
But it's not a good idea to come down the mountain just for fun.
Let's just take on a commission.
After completing the task, he went down the mountain to enjoy the scenery.
"Let's take on a slightly easier task."
"I can do it."
"You can do all of that? Then you..."
"No way! Don't even think about spanking me! You perverted senior brother!" Wu Qinghuan glared at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was a little excited, "See! I told you! We're a perfect match!"
The adorable junior brother rolled his eyes.
Pouting.
"Is there any simpler commission, preferably in a relatively prosperous mortal city, nothing too complicated? The commission fee is flexible."
The disciples of the Deacon Hall were flipping through the booklets.
It suddenly stopped.
Pointing, he said, "Senior Brother Xu, this one is quite good. He's a wealthy businessman in Fengcui City. They say you can often hear crying in his mansion, and the whole family can hear it, even the servants."
"It seems that several feng shui masters from the martial arts world have been invited, and some cultivators from small sects have also gone, but none of them have found anything wrong, so the prices they offer are getting higher and higher."
"The current price is... let me see, ten thousand taels of silver."
Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.
Although spirit stones are more valuable than silver, silver is easier to circulate and spend in ordinary towns.
Shops that sell spirit stones do not accept them.
Unless it's a large trading place, but those places are definitely unaffordable for me and Xiao Qinghuan. They're ridiculously expensive; we couldn't afford them even if we sold them.
"Ten thousand taels of silver is quite a lot. Okay, let's take it."
There's been crying coming from the yard.
First, it's the work of petty thieves; someone in your household is deliberately playing tricks.
Second, evil spirits are at work. Evil spirits usually appear in the wilderness, but if someone raises a demon and it reaches a certain level of cultivation, it can be released and controlled.
There are only these two possibilities.
Having accepted the commission, the two, senior and junior brothers, set off.
The Sword Sect is located in Tianzhou.
Fengcui City is located in the northern part of Tianzhou, thousands of miles away from the Sword Sect.
If this were in her previous life, Xu Nian could have flown over in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
But right now, he and his junior brother are only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even if one can fly on a sword, there is still so much spiritual energy stored in one's body.
So we can only fly intermittently, taking several more days.
If nothing unexpected happens, the trip there and back will take a day and a half each way.
I left this morning and will arrive tomorrow afternoon.
But I need to find a place to sleep tonight.
There's no need for any formality or distance between senior and junior brothers.
Just find any inn and book a room.
I can squeeze in for one night and sleep however I want.
