Chapter 114 The Invisible Island
Naturally, he was related to Qin Taihe, so Ruan Xing would naturally bother him from time to time to show his presence.
She frowned and said to Qin Taihe bitterly, "Brother, Senior Sister Xu is too scary. Every time she looks at me, it's as if she wants to eat me. I don't dare to step into the Weapon Refining Peak. How can I cultivate my magic sword?"
Ruan Xing had mentioned it to him from time to time these past two days, which annoyed Qin Taihe to no end. Today, he finally had an idea and replied, "How about I accompany you to Xianyuan City to buy one, and I'll pay for the spirit stones."
Ruan Xing's eyes lit up, "How can this be so embarrassing? Hey, are we going now?"
Qintai He choked and said unhappily, "Well, let's go now."
If he could resolve this matter sooner, this little girl wouldn't bother him anymore.
Qin Taihe was actually quite conflicted in his heart. He didn't know how to get along with others, nor did he want to establish any relationship beyond a close one with anyone. But other people were okay, as they would naturally not stay close to him if he ignored them with a cold face. But this little girl was asked to be taken care of by his master, and he didn't know how to take care of anyone at all.
He himself also came to Yaoguang Peak when he was seven years old.
Thinking back to how the senior sister took care of him at that time... the memory seems a little fuzzy. At that time, he locked himself in the room all day and did not communicate with anyone. Apart from reading, he played with Yinfeng. Yinfeng was still very small, about the size of a puppy. The senior sister came to bring him some food every day and put it in front of the door. The two rarely met. Occasionally, when they saw each other, the senior sister found that he had grown taller, and the next day she would put two new sets of clothes next to the food.
It doesn't seem to have much reference value, after all, he hadn't yet started to draw in energy at that time.
Qin Taihe stood up and sat on the white wolf. Ruan Xing took the opportunity to stroke the fluffy hair on the white wolf's neck. The white wolf bared its teeth at her with some dissatisfaction, but did not use its claws to grab her.
Ruan Xing chuckled twice, took out the flying sword with satisfaction and stepped on it.
She had already been to Xianyuan City in the simulation before, so she knew which store in the city had the best quality materials and which store had the most cost-effective magic weapons. She went straight to a store with Qin Taihe.
She didn't cheat Qin Taihe. With her height, the proportions of most flying swords were not suitable for her. There were not many options for her to choose from. She was used to using daggers, so she picked a silver dagger with a thin handle and eight hundred low-grade spirit stones.
This price is considered a relatively moderate price among mid-grade magical instruments.
Qin Taihe paid the spirit stone, and Ruan Xing hung the new sword around his waist reluctantly and replaced the sword tassel.
"Are you satisfied now?" Qin Taihe said.
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied." Ruan Xing replied cheerfully, "Then shall we go back now? Senior Brother hasn't practiced these few days, why don't you go back and make up for it?"
"No hurry." Qin Taihe shook his head. "Senior Sister Meng Hui will be forming a pill in a few days. She invited me to be her guardian. After all, we are from the same school. I agreed. Let me pick a gift for her today."
Hmm? Is Meng Hui about to form a pill?
That's right, she originally said that once Soft Smoke Luo was refined, the pill would be formed. Two or three days have passed, and Soft Smoke Luo is probably almost there.
But I didn't expect that Meng Hui would invite Qin Taihe to be her bodyguard.
The protective formation is a tradition left over from ancient times in the world of immortal cultivation. This is because when a cultivator is going through a heavenly tribulation, it is the time when they can least afford to make mistakes and are the most vulnerable. If an enemy comes to cause trouble, there is a high probability that the tribulation will fail. Therefore, when a cultivator is going through a tribulation, he will invite his senior teachers or close friends to form a protective formation for him.
Of course, now all the sects have already provided perfect protection for those undergoing the tribulation. Inviting anyone to guard the formation is just a formality. If someone is allowed to go in and cause trouble while the sect is undergoing the tribulation, wouldn't that be trampling on the face of the sect?
The cultivation level of the people guarding the formation needs to be higher than that of the person undergoing the tribulation. Qin Taihe originally thought that it was his master who was guarding the formation personally. When it was Meng Hui's turn, she might have invited those good friends on Tianyan Peak. However, as a disciple of Yaoguang Peak, it would not be good for her master to only invite people from Tianyan Peak, so she also invited Qin Taihe.
The two walked side by side, Bai Lang followed Qin Taihe one step behind. People on the street cast their eyes at them when they passed by, but Qin Taihe ignored them, as if he was used to it. Ruan Xing also pretended not to see it, rolled his eyes and asked, "Brother, what have you thought of as a gift?"
Qin Taihe shook his head, "No, but she is a female cultivator, so just give her some things that most female cultivators like and can use."
Ruan Xing thought about it and realized that Meng Hui was not like an ordinary female cultivator. She had an ordinary appearance and did not dress up much on weekdays. When she was refining magic weapons, she would put her hair up without even a hairpin. She probably did not pursue beauty pills, beautiful robes, and cute spiritual pets. Therefore, he suggested: "I heard that Senior Sister Meng Hui is a senior second-level magic weapon refiner, and her success rate for medium-grade magic weapons is almost 50%. Why not give her some refining materials so that she can have more experience when she is promoted to the third level?"
Qintai He was stunned.
"Is she a weapon refiner?"
"Don't you know?" Ruan Xing scratched his head. All the other registered disciples of Yaoguang Peak knew about it.
However...Qin Tai He never communicated with other disciples except for occasionally saying hello when they met.
Qin Taihe said calmly: "She never told me, but since you said so, I will give her the refining materials."
The two went to another store and bought several kilograms of smelted and purified ore, which they put in a box.
When he was about to leave, he passed by the library. Ruan Xing had an idea and opened the real-life simulation. He asked, "Brother, would you like to go in and take a look?"
Qin Taihe was not interested. "There's nothing interesting to see. I've seen most of them when I was a kid. Useful things won't be put in here."
"Then... have you seen the map inside?" Ruan Xing asked tentatively, "Do you know what Tianxin Island and Floating Island are?"
"Tianxin Island? Floating Island?" Qin Taihe looked confused. "What is this place? Is it a secret place? I have never left Xianyuan City... I don't know what's going on outside."
Ruan Xing was a little anxious, "It's not outside, it's in Xianyuan City, in the sky, above our heads."
Qin Taihe looked up at the sky, but still didn't understand what she meant.
Ruan Xing dragged him into the library, found the map, and pointed to the two gray islands above the map, "These are the two places."
Qin Taihe frowned, "Are you kidding me, or did something go wrong in your practice and you saw hallucinations? If it's the latter, I'll take you to Shenshui Peak later to ask them to check your illness."
"You really can't see?" Ruan Xing said disappointedly.
"I really didn't see anything." Qin Taihe said in a deep voice, "Chen Shuifeng is good at combing the meridians, you should go and have a look, and ask them to check it out. You entered the Dao so early, so your spirit bones must be damaged. While you are still young, there may be a chance to remedy it."
Of course Chen Shuifeng could make up for it… otherwise she wouldn’t be able to fall in love and get married with Cheng Bi normally in the simulation, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with her child’s body, and she knew that her spirit bones had already been transformed by the icy pool water of Xue Sui, so there would be no damage.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother, but it's not necessary." Ruan Xing said perfunctorily and ended the simulation.
Back to reality, the two were still on the street. Ruan Xing blinked and saw Qin Taihe suddenly turned his head after passing her. "Why did you stop?"
"Ah, nothing, I just got distracted." Ruan Xing followed him, raised his head and smiled, "Let's go back quickly, Brother."
Every time she simulated, there would be a period of stagnation of less than one second. It was not so bad when her cultivation was low, as she could not do anything for less than one second. She could even simulate while flying the sword, and she would not fall off the sword when she came back to her senses.
But it is not so good if her cultivation level is high. Qin Taihe was too close to her just now, and she noticed it immediately. With the speed of the Jindan stage, she could send out seven or eight swords in one second.
I wonder if there is any technique that can be used to accomplish two goals at the same time.
The name change was successful~ I hope the new book title can bring good luck~
