Chapter 52 Ruins News
When the sisters Lin Ziyu and Lin Zixi heard Xiao Changqing's rejection, they couldn't help but feel despair.
At this moment, they no longer cared about shame and only thought about how to convince Xiao Changqing to rescue them.
but.
What Xiao Changqing said does make sense.
There have been undercurrents in the Lingfu Pavilion over the past six months, and many talisman masters have been severely punished for seeking personal gain. A lot of news about this has spread in Nanshanfang.
The disaster that befell the two sisters this time was essentially a self-examination of the talisman masters by the Lingfu Pavilion.
Xiao Changqing was originally fine, but if he was suspected of being the mysterious talisman master Bai Wuji because he rescued the two sisters, it would be a huge injustice.
However, Lin Zixi quickly realized the blind spot and shook his head, saying, "No. Master Xiao Fu, you are completely different from Senior Bai Wuji, and you were only promoted to a first-class Fu Master half a year ago, while Senior Bai Wuji was already a first-class mid-grade Fu Master a year and a half ago... Therefore, the Spiritual Fu Pavilion will never regard you, Master Xiao Fu, as Senior Bai Wuji."
In fact, there are some things Lin Zixi kept in her heart and didn't say them out loud.
Although in her opinion, Senior Bai Wuji was such a rough, brave, and mysterious talisman master, cold and domineering just like his name; even though Xiao Changqing's future potential might be greater than Senior Bai Wuji's, he was timid and cowardly...
Not a type at all!
"Do you have the final say in the Ling Fu Pavilion? Just because you say I'm not Bai Wuji, I'm not Bai Wuji?"
Xiao Changqing snorted coldly.
This woman is really smart. She was able to find the blind spot and refute his illogicality.
But no matter how clever and cunning she was, she could not guess that the person she was holding on to was the Senior Bai Wuji she mentioned!
"Even if Manager Zhou can distinguish between loyalty and treachery and does not regard me as Bai Wuji, he will not give me this face." Xiao Changqing was still unwilling to intervene.
Sister Lin Ziyu continued to plead, "I will give it to you! I will give it to you! Today we just bring up your name, Master Xiao Fu, and Hu Yuan won't dare to touch us! Master Xiao Fu, you will be promoted to a second-level Master of Fu in the future, and even Shopkeeper Zhou will definitely give you face! If... If Shopkeeper Zhou really doesn't give you face at that time, we two sisters are willing to not drag Master Xiao Fu down and surrender obediently..."
At this time, sister Lin Zixi suddenly understood something and remembered something.
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Master Xiao Fu, I wonder if you are interested in the cave ruins of the previous cultivator? If Master Xiao Fu is willing to try to help my sister and me, we sisters will not only obey Master Xiao Fu's orders in the future without any complaints, but I also have some information about the cave ruins of a cultivator who is at least in the late foundation building stage, and may even be a Jindan Zhenren. You can tell Master Xiao Fu."
Lin Zixi finally figured it out.
This Xiao Changqing is really just as he said, he is not interested in women!
The two sisters are so beautiful that other monks would most likely be willing to rescue them.
But in Xiao Changqing's opinion, the beauty of the two sisters was obviously not enough for him to make a move.
"What cave ruins? Tell me in detail." Xiao Changqing indeed became interested after hearing this and changed his tone.
"Master Xiao Fu, do you still remember... remember that you once bought a jade cushion from me at a market stall..." Lin Zixi said with some shame.
Forget the past.
That was the first time she met Xiao Changqing, and she also cheated Xiao Changqing out of three low-grade spirit stones.
"I remember. How is this jade cushion related to the cave ruins you mentioned?"
Xiao Changqing said this casually, but there was a strange look in the depths of his eyes. He no longer treated it as a joke, but became extremely serious.
"Master Xiao Fu may not believe me..." Lin Zixi calmed down a bit, organized his words, and then said, "When I accepted three low-grade spirit stones from Master Xiao Fu, I did take advantage of him. But I didn't completely deceive Master Xiao Fu at that time. This jade cushion was indeed handed down from the ruins of the ancient cave."
"It's just that most of this cave ruins are covered by a formation, and the formation is of a very high level. Hundreds of years have passed, and it still has the power of the quasi-third level. Ordinary cultivators cannot explore it at all."
“So, this cave ruins is still relatively well preserved. Only the outer area and some areas where the formation failed have been explored clearly.”
Hearing this, Xiao Changqing was already very interested.
If the enlightenment cushion he bought really came from the so-called cave ruins, and the ruins have not been completely broken, then this information is very valuable. Even if there is no golden finger, the treasures hidden in a cave second only to the Nascent Soul Great Monk are enough to make all the Foundation Establishment and even the Core Formation True Immortals excited.
What's more, Xiao Changqing's inventory needs some equipment with a "sense of history"!
"How do I know whether what you said is true or not, and not just a lie made up to deceive me?" Xiao Changqing asked.
"It's true! I can swear to the immortals that the cushion I sold to you, Master Xiao Fu, was indeed obtained from the ruins of the cave!" Lin Zixi was a little anxious and explained: "Although... although the jade cushion is made of cold jade from the mortal world, it may be helpful to martial artists in the mortal world, but it is of no use to us cultivators..."
Xiao Changqing sneered and said nothing, as if he didn't believe it.
But I felt quite emotional inside.
How could he not believe it, how could he not know?
The enlightenment cushion that I bought from Lin Zixi was indeed for a cultivator in the late Jindan stage!
He was able to cultivate so quickly, improving one level almost every year, and his talisman skills had reached the level of a first-class top-grade talisman master. A great deal of credit was due to this enlightenment cushion!
Spiritual roots +1, and understanding improved.
The effects of these two equipments are both magical!
Lin Ziyu also spoke again at this time, saying: "Master Xiao Fu, this is absolutely true! Because my sister and I's family grew and prospered thanks to this cave ruins."
Afterwards, the two girls explained the whole story to Xiao Changqing.
It turns out that these two sisters are not casual cultivators like him, and they did not start their cultivation by obtaining the immortal fate in the mortal world.
Instead, he came from a family that once established a foundation for cultivating immortals!
However, the Lin family has been in decline for many years and there are no longer any foundation-building cultivators left.
But because the Lin family has a complete and excellent formation inheritance, the power of their family's mountain protection formation has reached the second level.
Under the protection of the formation, even if the Lin family does not have a foundation-building cultivator, the family can still be guaranteed to continue.
The matter of the cave ruins was a secret within the Lin family, and most clan members were unaware of it.
The two sisters found out about this by chance.
However, since both of them had lost their parents and had been mistreated in the family since childhood, they had no psychological burden in betraying the biggest secret of the Lin family.
"If Master Xiao is interested in the ruins and wants to explore after he builds his foundation... and becomes a second-level talisman master, our two sisters are willing to lead the way!" Lin Zixi said.
Originally, she wanted to say, wait for Xiao Changqing to build his foundation.
But thinking of Xiao Changqing's low-grade spiritual roots, it was almost impossible for him to build a foundation, so he quickly changed his words.
If one becomes a second-rank talisman master, with an extraordinary status, foundation-building monks will also be willing to be friends with him and be on an equal footing with him. Then, they can join forces to explore together.
This is also the cruel part of the world of cultivating immortals.
Although a second-level talisman master is more difficult to obtain than a foundation-building cultivator, he is much more important than a foundation-building cultivator in major sects, families, and forces.
But if the talisman master's spiritual roots are not good enough, especially if his spiritual roots are of low quality like Xiao Changqing's, there is no hope for him to build a foundation.
After all, it can only be a temporary glory.
After a hundred years, one’s time of death will come, and it is impossible to extend one’s life span for sixty years like the cultivators who have established their foundation.
