Chapter 72 Sisters Fight the Enemy Together
For three consecutive days, Xiao Changqing had a total of four second-level calming talismans and two attack-type talismans on his body.
Now the total number of second-level talismans on Xiao Changqing has reached 18!
It's enough for now.
Even if we encounter a positional tug-of-war, it will be enough.
As for ordinary first-level talismans, even if they are top-grade, they are of little use to Xiao Changqing now. After all, he has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Therefore, during this month, he saved up 47 first-level evil-breaking talismans and 41 first-level mind-calming talismans.
The quality has reached the first-class upper level, and a small part of them has reached the first-class ultimate level.
……
This day.
Xiao Changqing felt that the talismans stored on his body were more than enough. After returning home from the Lingfu Pavilion, he did not plan to work overtime to draw talismans, but instead prepared to take a comfortable hot spring bath.
In the past month, he has used his spiritual sense to the limit every night. It will not be damaged, but fatigue is inevitable.
It's time to take a good rest.
But it is definitely not fun to take a hot spring bath alone.
In the past two years, Xiao Changqing has become accustomed to being served.
Perhaps this is human nature. Whether one is a mortal or a cultivator, it is easy for one to go from frugality to extravagance.
At the beginning, he certainly had no feelings for the Lin sisters. He rescued them mainly because of the information they provided, which was about the existence of the remains of a Jindan cultivator's cave in the Lin family's ancestral home.
Now it seems that the outside world is in such a mess. When Xiao Changqing successfully builds his foundation in the future and has the strength to explore the ruins of the Lin family, it will be a question whether the Lin family ancestral home is still there.
But when it comes to the Lin sisters, Xiao Changqing feels like he can't leave them.
Especially Lin Ziyu, Xiao Changqing was used to her taking care of every aspect of his life and was very considerate. If one day she was gone, Xiao Changqing might really feel a little uncomfortable.
“Tzuyu, come and soak in the hot spring.”
Xiao Changqing shouted into the house.
A moment later, a figure slowly approached from the mist surrounding the hot spring. Xiao Changqing closed his eyes to rest and did not open them to look, nor did he release his spiritual sense. In the past two years, Lin Ziyu had served him in the hot spring for at least fifty times, if not a hundred times.
A fixed process has been formed, which specifies the order for when to relax each part of the body, whether it is the head or the legs.
But today, Lin Ziyu seemed to be a little bit disobedient to the procedure, and her massage technique was obviously much less sophisticated.
Xiao Changqing thought of something with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he sniffed and smelled a different fragrance.
Lin Ziyu's scent used to be more fragrant, but today's scent is obviously lighter. It seems that when you smell the scent, you can imagine that the owner of the scent is playful and lively.
He opened his eyes, hugged Lin Zixi, who was massaging his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Compared to your sister, your massage skills are far inferior. Go learn from your sister when you have time."
Lin Zixi blushed slightly, "Just learn it, it's not that difficult."
Xiao Changqing put his arms around her soft waist and hips, and said with good intentions in his eyes: "How about I let you come over now and show you on the spot..."
"Don't..." Lin Zixi's pretty face turned red when she heard that, and she retorted subconsciously.
Last month in the studio, Lin Zixi finally mustered up the courage to ask Xiao Changqing to accept her, but was interrupted midway and couldn't continue.
In the past month, Xiao Changqing has been busy drawing talismans and there has not been a suitable opportunity.
That's why today Xiao Changqing was taking a hot spring bath to relax, and Lin Zixi happened to be at home, so she took the opportunity to say hello to her sister and ran over.
Today was the first time she had to give herself up in the true sense.
How could she let her sister come over and teach at this time?
Does she still have any shame? Does she want to live?
But she soon realized something was wrong.
I am a concubine, and I should agree to any excessive requests from my master. How can I object?
What's more, this is not a particularly excessive request.
She and her sister are both Xiao Changqing's concubines. It is their honor that the master wants to favor them, and it is only natural for the two of them to be together.
"I... I'm afraid that I won't be used to it the first time and will ruin my master's mood. Next time... next time I'll ask my sister to come together, okay?" Lin Zixi bit her red lips lightly and asked in a shy voice.
Snapped!
Lin Zixi's buttocks turned red.
Xiao Changqing sneered: "Of course you can. But I have to punish you today..."
For a moment, the water in the hot spring was rippling and exclamations were heard one after another.
……
An hour later.
Lin Zixi and Lin Ziyu leaned on Xiao Changqing's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
Lin Zixi, who was unable to bear the challenge, finally called her sister Lin Ziyu to teach her on the spot. Although Lin Zixi is usually very strong, bold and unyielding, she dares to think and do, and is much more capable and capable than her sister Lin Ziyu.
But in this matter, he is actually a little weak and his tolerance is far less than Lin Ziyu's.
Lin Ziyu always looks weak, but she can often accompany Xiao Changqing to her heart's content.
Maybe this is why you can't judge a book by its cover.
Xiao Changqing, who was extremely relaxed and satisfied both physically and mentally, sat lazily in the hot spring, not wanting to move at all.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want the situation to become turbulent. He would just practice step by step, comfortably and happily, without any delay.
But unfortunately, things don't go as planned.
As time went by, Xiao Changqing judged from various clues, especially the various actions of Zhou Changkong, the owner of Lingfu Pavilion, that the unrest in Nanshanfang should be coming soon.
Of course, although unrest will come, he also believes that there will be no problem in defending Nanshanfang.
Because he worked in Lingfu Pavilion, when he came into contact with Zhou Changkong, he vaguely realized that Luoxia Sect seemed to have secretly sent another important figure to Nanshanfang.
This person's status and cultivation are most likely higher than Zhou Changkong!
This means that Luoxia Sect will never allow Nanshanfang to be occupied by evil cultivators, allowing the claws of the Demon Cult to extend further into its territory.
After Lin Zixi came back to his senses from the afterglow, he barely recovered his mental state and thought of something. He asked, "Master, I went to the Baibao Building today and found that they have a flying boat magic weapon on the shelf. It is of very high quality and has reached the first-grade top level. But the price is a bit expensive. It requires 1,400 low-grade spirit stones. Do we need to buy it?"
The price of a regular first-grade magic weapon ranges from 800 to 1200 low-grade spirit stones.
The price will fluctuate depending on the type of magic weapon, the amount of inventory in the market, and its rarity.
However, a 'large' magical tool like a flying boat, which has both the functions of expediting travel and defense, is more difficult to counterfeit than an ordinary magical tool, and the selling price will naturally be higher.
"buy it."
Xiao Changqing considered for a moment and made a decision.
Although it seems that Nanshanfang will not be breached at the moment, there is no need to run away in the short term.
But even in the future, I will have to leave for other fairy cities sooner or later, so it is necessary to have a flying boat.
For cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, flying by themselves is too slow and tiring, and they need to stop to rest and recover their mana. So it's OK for short distances, but if they travel long distances, they need a flying magic tool.
As for flying swords, they are fast and look really cool, but they are only good-looking and useless, and are only suitable for short-distance flights.
For example, if a Qi-refining cultivator flies from Yinye Peak to Nanshan Square at full speed, it would take more than half a month, standing on the flying sword all the time. How tiring would that be?
Flying boat is the best choice when you are traveling!
The speed is not slow and it is very comfortable.
"Everyone is saying that Nanshanfang is safe, but it feels like we are preparing to run away," Xiao Changqing said with emotion.
Lin Zixi propped up his head and said with interest, "In fact, many people are just like us, making preparations for both situations. Many cultivators have already started to sell their caves and properties. A few days ago, the landlord of our Guangju Building asked me if I wanted to buy Guangju Building and was willing to reduce the price appropriately, but I refused. The housing prices in Nanshanfang have been rising for several years, but now they have finally stopped rising and started to decline. But I feel that this may just be the beginning. Now is the best time to sell caves and shops. Once the war starts and the Demon Cult invades, even if Nanshanfang can resist and will be fine, the housing prices will plummet by then."
Xiao Changqing shook his head and sighed, "The news of the Demon Cult's invasion and the fall of Silver Leaf Peak has only spread among the cultivators in the Yizi Cave Mansion. Most of the middle and lower-level cultivators still don't know the news. They can't see the situation clearly. Some of them may think that the current slight drop in housing prices is a good opportunity to pick up a bargain!"
In which world is this not the case?
The big guys got the news in advance and left the market early, some ran away, some retired, and made a fortune. Only the middle and lower levels stood guard at high positions and became the ones to take over.
I was also fooled by experts with false statements such as "you don't have to worry about the rise and fall of prices if you have urgent needs."
Of course, house speculators do not deserve sympathy.
……
For example, Hu Youquan, who had owned two shops and a cave residence a long time ago, did not see any improvement in his cultivation despite spending so much resources on himself. Instead, his Taoist partner Zhou Yun'e benefited a lot. He realized that he lacked talent and that no matter how hard he struggled, he would have no hope of reaching the late stage of Qi Refining in this lifetime.
At the same time, he didn't want Zhou Yun'e to overtake him and get out of his control, so he set his sights on the rapidly rising value of real estate.
After taking out a mortgage to buy the third store, Zhou Yun'e had a legitimate reason to cut back on her food and clothing expenses.
At the beginning, the mentality of "competing wits and courage" with Zhou Yun'e occupied most of the factors, but after buying the third store, he earned the equivalent of more than two hundred low-grade spirit stones in one year, and he began to get carried away.
After a period of "inspection" and "research", he gritted his teeth, leveraged again, took out a mortgage and spent a huge amount of money to buy a cave residence in the C area!
He knew very well that he could not surpass his 'rival' Xiao Changqing in terms of cultivation and status.
Then his only chance is to find a way to earn more property, so that one day he can use his wealth to join the upper class of Nanshanfang and move to the Yizi Cave!
Then, less than half a year after he bought the Bingzi Cave Mansion, the housing prices in Nanshanfang began to fall quietly.
After Zhou Yun'e realized something was wrong, she persuaded Hu Youquan to consider selling it.
After all, if they sell it now, even after deducting the interest, they will hardly lose anything.
But how could Hu Youquan listen? He firmly believed that the housing prices in Nanshanfang would continue to rise and that good days were yet to come.
Of course, if he sold the cave and had extra money, and Zhou Yun'e took the opportunity to propose increasing spending, he would have no reason to refuse.
So he took control of the two caves and three storefronts, and waited for the housing prices to recover...
