Chapter 42 – Soul Nourishing Lotus Ripens, Ghost Exorcism Charms in the City
Chapter 42 – Soul Nourishing Lotus Ripens, City Full of Ghost Exorcism Talismans
“Also.”
Xiao Qingyu continued, “That tiger demon corpse is useless, I’ll go to the disciple trading market and handle it for you.”
“Because it’s a female tiger and doesn’t have a tiger whip, it’s worth a bit less, the tiger skin, tiger blood, tiger meat, and tiger bone were sold separately, and a total of 2,078 spirit stones were sold.”
“I erased the change for you, here are 2000 spirit stones, keep it.”
Said the man.
Xiao Qingyu gently flicked her sleeve, and four pink pouches appeared in front of Wang Xiu, embroidered with a pattern of white lotus flowers, and also emitting a faint fragrance.
Hiss~
Wang Xiu sucked in a mouthful of cool air, this wave actually had money to collect?
When really absolute.
Wang Xiu pushed two of the pouches towards Xiao Qingyu, and smiled hehehe, “Letting Senior Sister Qingyu run around for me is really too much, it’s better to split this money equally!”
Yo~
Xiao Qingyu said with a wry smile, “A thousand spirit stones said to be given away, our Senior Brother Wang Xiu, when did he become so generous? Could this be, a bride price?”
Cough~
Wang Xiu cried and laughed, “Senior sister said as if I’m very stingy, I didn’t have no money in my hand before!”
It really wasn’t that Wang Xiu was crying poor.
Although the Gua Vein was subsidized with 100 spirit stones per month, which was enough to spend for many years if one went down to the mountains to enjoy themselves, cultivating Immortality was a costly, if not money-burning activity.
Before killing the Tiger Demon and finding the Soul Nurturing Lotus, the cash flow in Wang Xiu’s hand had not really been much.
The filial piety given to Xiao Qingyu was really squeezed out of his teeth.
“Alright~!”
Xiao Qingyu glanced at Wang Xiu and laughed, “You don’t have much money in your hands now, keep it for yourself! In the future, the place to spend money, more!”
“I sit in the task hall, and do not need to go down the mountain, want so many spirit stones for what? But it is something outside the body.”
Wang Xiu froze and muttered, “Since it’s something outside of the body, why don’t you wipe out the change?”
Xiao Qingyu: ?
Clank~!
A brilliant sword light pierced through the void and stuck in front of Wang Xiu, Xiao Qingyu was so angry that she stomped her feet, “You go away!”
Haha!
Wang Xiu laughed as he put away the brocade pouch embroidered with a lotus flower and fled in a sorry state, “Since Senior Sister likes lotus flowers, next time if I find a Soul Nurturing Lotus, I’ll give you one!”
“Not for alchemy, only for senior sister’s enjoyment!”
Looking at the teenager’s departing back, Xiao Qingyu’s pretty face blushed slightly and lightly spat, “Bah, who cares to look at what lotus flower? Lotus flowers will always wither, how can they smell as good as spirit stones?”
In the Immortal Cultivation World, in this chaotic world.
Survival, getting stronger and guarding the peace of a party is what every disciple of the Three Clear Immortal Sect, considers first and foremost.
Flower viewing?
Unless this three Qing Immortal Sect, then there is that catch the sky lotus leaf infinite blue, can appreciate that reflect the lotus flower different white.
Otherwise has been picked off the soul lotus, medicinal power every moment in the slow dispersion, who will be willing to insert it in the vase, purely as that ornamental scenery?
Hoo~
Gently exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Xiao Qingyu regained her previous cool temperament and slowly walked out of the reception room.
……
The words were split into two.
Leaving the mission hall, Wang Xiu sacrificed his Xuanwu Appraisal, pulled his speed up to full capacity, and headed straight for Maple City.
Now that his cultivation had reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment Stage, Wang Xiu harnessed the Xuanwu Jian, so fast that it was like a green light, and ordinary people couldn’t even see the shadows.
Very quickly.
He crossed hundreds of miles of territory and arrived at the Bright Moon Mountain outside of Maple City.
The Soul Nurturing Lotus in the Yellow Spring Grotto was growing well, with a total of twelve of them transforming from blooming form to furious form.
Wang Xiu took out the prepared jade box, put on the Spirit Locking Curse that could slow down the speed of dissipation of the spiritual qi, and then carefully put each lotus into the jade box.
Uh-huh.
Putting aside the one that he was going to give to Senior Sister Qingyu, there were still eleven more that he could use to sell for money, meaning that he would be able to earn at least 30,000 or even 40,000 spirit stones.
The day of poverty alleviation and prosperity is not far away! After putting away the jade box, Wang Xiu checked the seal at the bottom of the pool and made sure it was intact before leaving.
Leaving Mingyue Mountain.
Wang Xiu soon arrived at Maple City, but everything that met his eyes made him unable to resist frowning slightly.
At this moment.
The atmosphere of Maple City was very subtle and treacherous, the streets were cold and silent, the doors of every house were closed tightly, and many people still had yellow talismans pasted on their doorsteps, dancing in the wind.
Occasionally pedestrians walked by on the road, but they were also in a hurry, seemingly not daring to stay outside for even a moment longer.
To use one word to describe it: the wind is whispering.
Wang Xiu Yu Jian landed in front of one of the homes, unveiled the yellow talisman and looked at it, it was the ghost repelling talisman of the Three Clear Immortal Sect, but it contained a thin spiritual qi and was limited in power.
Uh-huh.
How to say it!
It’s the kind of thing that can be mass-produced by a Foundation Stage cultivator, and it has that much effect on the Knight Ghosts, but not much.
“Senior Sister Qingyu said that Maple City has not been peaceful lately, could it be haunted?”
Wang Xiu muttered, then reattached the talisman paper back to the door and flew towards the Three Clear Immortal Sect’s deacon’s residence in Maple City, ‘Qingfeng Guan’, with his royal identification.
In the Qingfeng Guan, there were two deacon disciples of the Three Qing Immortal Sect, whose Dao names were ‘Qingyun’ and ‘Changfeng’ respectively.
They used to cultivate on the mountains of the Three Qing Clusters, but after reaching a bottleneck in their cultivation, they were unwilling to run around any more, so they led the sect’s mission and went down to sit on one side of the mountain.
“Qing Yun has met senior brother.”
“Changfeng meet senior brother.”
The two disciples looked to be around thirty or forty years old, wearing light green colored Daoist robes, looking somewhat immortal.
Though the two were clearly older than Wang Xiu.
However, in the Three Qing Immortal Sect, their status was only that of outer disciples, and their cultivation level was only two or three days of Foundation Establishment, so according to the rules, they should call Wang Xiu senior brother.
“The two senior brothers, there is no need to be polite.”
Wang Xiu returned the salute in a dignified manner, and then he was sensitive enough to notice that both of these two Taoist priests had broken places on their bodies, and their faces looked a bit pale as well.
Obviously, they had just experienced a fierce battle not long ago, and their injuries had not yet recovered.
Even.
Wang Xiu, who had cultivated the Underworld Emperor’s Prison Suppressing Scripture to the Perfection Realm, was able to sensitively detect that the soul flames of these two senior brothers were a little shriveled, and seemed to have been traumatized as well.
Although the injuries were not particularly serious and might not affect the root origin, without three to five years of recuperation, it was feared that it would be difficult to completely recover.
Received the address of the house of Mr. He.
Wang Xiu did not leave immediately, but instead opened his mouth and inquired, “The two senior brothers.”
“I see that every household in this Maple City has a ghost repelling talisman plastered on it, could it be haunted?”
The two Daoist Masters, Qing Yun Chang Feng, looked at each other and said with bitter smiles on their faces, “It is indeed haunted, and it’s an extremely ferocious and severe ghost.”
As the two narrated, Wang Xiu also roughly understood what happened.
There were four great families in Maple City.
In addition to the richest He Family, there were three other families, Zhao, Qian, and Sun, as well as a dozen smaller families.
And this Knight Ghost.
This ghost is from the Nie family of the dozen or so small families, and is the Nie family’s eldest young lady, Nie Suzuran.
It is said.
It is said that this Nie Suzlan was born in a scholarly family, since childhood she has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and is good at poetry and song, embroidery and women’s red.
Moreover, she was born with a Bodhisattva’s heart, sweeping the ground for fear of hurting the lives of ants, and cherishing moths and gauze-covered lamps.
She often made paintings and embroidery for sale, and used the money from the sale to help the poor people in the city, and was a great lady with an excellent reputation in Maple City.
However, she had a thin life~!
