Chapter 55
When Jitang came back with the teapot, he heard the sound of Elder Qin slamming the table.
"Just shut up! This inn isn't just for the sect's disciples, stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Jitang had heard something about Elder Qin, saying that he was an old man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
He doesn't care about his appearance. Just looking at him, he is just an unkempt old man. However, his strength is second only to the sect master and the great elder in Suxuan Sect. His cultivation is higher than that of Master Jitang. Now he has reached the stage of distraction and only needs to endure forty-five heavenly thunders.
After hearing what he said, Jitang looked towards other places in the inn.
Disciples of the Suxuan Sect occupied a quarter of the inn, with the other three quarters occupied by three groups of disciples wearing different uniforms. They appeared to be drinking tea and chatting, but in reality, they were all subtly glancing over here, with disdainful smiles on their faces.
Ji Tang sat back down, met the contemptuous gaze from above, and glared back: "What are you looking at!"
The man didn't expect Jitang to speak directly. When he came to his senses, he missed the best time to refute and looked away angrily.
Ji Tang was glared at by Elder Qin, so he sat down obediently and poured tea for his senior brothers and sisters.
Xun Jinzhi looked at Jitang with a little more fondness, "You have a temper very similar to mine. When we get to Xuegui Shuanghan Ridge, just follow me and I will protect you."
Ji Tang: "Thank you, senior sister." After saying that, he gave Su Jinzhou a look.
Look, the thigh has been found.
Su Jinzhou covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and his smile disappeared in an instant.
They rested in the inn for one night. There were still a few days before they returned to Frost Ridge, so the disciples were free to arrange their own arrangements.
Su Jinzhou knocked on Jitang's door early the next morning.
When Jitang opened the door, her hair was a mess and the ribbon of the veil covering her dress was tied incorrectly.
Seeing that it was his senior brother, Ji Tang slumped against the door frame, "Senior brother, aren't you making your own plans these days?"
Su Jinzhou crossed his arms and watched her act like a spoiled brat, "I came to you to make my own arrangements."
Ji Tang said sleepily: "What are you planning so early?"
Su Jinzhou took out the dragon pendant he had found in the Qingmang dragon clan's burial ground, and said, "We can use this opportunity to brand the jade pendant."
Ji Tang regained consciousness and said, "Brother, I'm still worried about the incident at Haijinyunjian Island."
Su Jinzhou sighed and said frankly, "I am worried."
Ji Tang made way for him to come in and took out his own dragon pendant from his storage bag. "Brother's spiritual power and my nightmare energy have recovered. It's time to brand the jade pendant."
She performed the Body Cleansing Technique and her sleepiness quickly dissipated.
The two jade pendants were placed separately on the mahogany round table.
Jitang looked at Su Jinzhou and saw him nod slightly.
Ji Tang calmed down, slowly separated a strand of his spiritual power, supported it with nightmare energy, and placed the spiritual power on the jade pendant.
She saw Su Jinzhou take out a dagger, cut his palm, and use his spiritual power to catch the remaining blood and quickly wrap it up.
Ji Tang also took out the dagger from the storage bag. The blade fell in his palm, and the nightmare energy wrapped around the blood, placing it side by side with a wisp of soul.
Su Jinzhou: "Let's get started."
Jitang responded.
The two of them were concentrating, one mobilizing spiritual power and the other mobilizing nightmare energy.
Ji Tang used nightmare energy to gather the power of the soul and blood together. The nightmare energy continued to compress and condense the power of the soul and blood. They all came from Ji Tang himself and merged smoothly, and soon turned into a drop of blood bead emitting the power of the soul.
Driven by the nightmare spirit, the blood bead moved closer to the dragon pendant.
The Weilong Pendant sensed the blood bead and initially emitted a pale green light, causing the blood bead to stagnate slightly. Jitang then increased the flow of nightmare energy, causing the blood bead to vibrate slightly between the two energies. After a moment, the light faded, and the blood bead gradually sank into the Weilong Pendant.
The Weilong Pendant absorbed the blood beads and emitted a green light again. This time the light was obviously darker, flickering like the frequency of breathing.
The same is true for Weilongpei on Su Jinzhou's side.
The two balls of green light reflected each other, and when the lights touched, they tended to merge. In the end, even the frequency of the lights flickering became the same.
After about a quarter of an hour, all the green light was absorbed into the Weilong Pendant, and the warm sunlight in the room prevailed again.
"Is it over?" Ji Tang picked up the Weilong Pendant and examined it carefully. He moved closer to Su Jinzhou in surprise and said, "Brother, look! There's blood in the cracks between the lines of the Weilong Pendant!"
Su Jinzhou also put his dragon pendant closer, "Yes, it's bloody."
Ji Tang: "This should be the mark of life, here, brother." She handed her dragon pendant to Su Jinzhou and said with a smile, "From now on, even if we are thousands of miles apart, we can still sense each other!"
Su Jinzhou took Jitang's Weilong Pendant and handed his own over, "I hope I'll never sense it."
The Weilongpei will only work if the opponent is seriously injured and in danger of his life.
Su Jinzhou hopes it will never work.
Ji Tang held the Weilong Pendant against his waist and compared it with the items in it, then looked at the storage bag, feeling dissatisfied. Finally, he said, "Brother, let's go buy some materials!"
"What materials?" Su Jinzhou was dragged out of the room while she was speaking.
The two came out of the inn, and Jitang asked a passing monk, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, where is the jewelry store?"
The other party showed her the location and she thanked him.
Ji Tang said as he walked, "The Weilong Pendant is so important. I don't feel safe hanging it around my waist or putting it in a storage bag. Why don't I buy a lanyard and wear it around my neck? That way I can wear it close to my body and I won't worry about losing it!"
When Su Jinzhou heard the word 'closely', he subconsciously shrank his fingers and said, "Then I will do the same."
Jitang picked out two wooden ropes in the jewelry store. The shopkeeper wanted to help them weave the jade pendants into the ropes, but Jitang declined.
After coming out of the store, Jitang said, "I'll go back and write it myself, don't worry."
Su Jinzhou responded with a smile. Seeing that it was almost noon, he asked Jitang, "Would you like to eat something before going back?"
"Okay!" Ji Tang agreed immediately. "Aren't there three other groups of disciples from other sects at the inn we're staying in? I really despise them. They're all so self-righteous, and the key is that they don't even realize it. Eating in the same space with them is enough to make me lose my appetite."
Su Jinzhou: "He's just an insignificant person, no need to bother. Where would you like to eat?"
Jitang looked around and said, "There are a lot of people over there, let's go find a place to eat over there!"
The two of them had a hearty meal, and Jitang also packed up some snacks from the nearby shop and took them back for the elders, the shopkeeper, and fellow brothers and sisters to try.
As a result, as soon as they entered the inn, they were almost hit by a vase thrown out of the inn.
Jitang blinked and looked at the hand blocking his face.
Su Jinzhou grabbed the vase and looked at her sideways: "Are you hurt?"
"without."
Su Jinzhou put the porcelain bottle aside and looked inside.
The two groups inside were on the verge of a fight. On one side were Xun Jinzhi and Wei Shaoxin and the others, and on the other side were five or six disciples from his sect wearing Miao-colored uniforms.
Several wooden tables were broken and food was scattered all over the floor. The two groups were arguing and fighting. Because of the inn, Xun Jinzhi and Wei Shaoxin did not fight freely and focused on defense.
Su Jinzhou and Ji Tang walked in and saw the shopkeeper sitting at the counter without any panic, drinking wine and eating peanuts, looking very calm.
He saw the two of them and greeted them with a smile, "Are you back?"
Su Jinzhou: "Senior, what's going on?"
Xu Zhengye said with a smile, "It's normal for children to be noisy. Don't worry about it." He glanced and saw the snacks in the hands of the two people. "Is this from Lao Tao's?"
Jitang opened a bag and placed it next to the peanuts. "Yes, my senior brother and I bought some for everyone to try."
"That's thoughtful. The snacks at Old Tao's are good, and the wine is even better." He said that, and then he saw Elder Qin coming around with a grim expression. "Elder Qin, come and have some snacks. The children brought them back."
Elder Qin had no appetite for snacks. He nodded slightly to Ji Tang and Su Jin Zhou and said, "These kids are really a worry."
Su Jinzhou: "Disciple, go and stop them."
Elder Qin waved his hand, "No need to go, I allow it."
Jitang: “?”
Ji Tang: "You allow it? Then what's the worry?"
Elder Qin blew his beard and glared, "I told them to make a quick decision, but they're hesitant and wasting time!"
Ji Tang leaned forward and said, "Then shall I go and put out the fire?"
Elder Qin looked at her and said, "You are such a jerk... go!"
Ji Tang received the order and immediately joined the battle.
Among the natural elements, she has a limited number of mid-level spells, but she can easily master low-level spells.
The nightmare energy gathered, and as she made hand gestures with her right hand, a thin mist filled the air. The mist quickly became more and more, and the air became humid. She made a spring-surge technique and threw it directly at the heads of the unfamiliar monks.
Five or six monks were drenched in water, and their arrogance was extinguished for a moment.
Ji Tang took advantage of the fact that they hadn't come to their senses and hid behind Elder Qin.
Elder Qin stood up at the right moment and asked, "Looks like the fight is over?"
Xun Jinzhi and the others said, "The fight is over."
The other team: “…”
They were left with nothing to say.
Elder Qin: "After the fight, let's settle the accounts. What needs to be paid is compensation, and what needs to be done is cleaned up."
Xun Jinzhi came to Elder Qin and saw Ji Tang behind him. He immediately knew who had watered the plants.
She whispered to Ji Tang, "Well watered. He's a disciple of Ben Luomen from Sangyu Prefecture. He's used to showing off his power in his own prefecture. He was fighting over the meal just now, complaining that this and that weren't tasty. I couldn't bear to see them wasting food, so I said a few words and then they started arguing."
They are still fighting, Jitang added silently.
Xu Zhengye was drinking and eating peanuts when he came to the center of the chaos and started to clean up the broken furniture and plates.
This Roman disciple hadn't vented his anger, and now he was directed at Elder Qin. "You said you'd settle accounts? Where did you come from, old man?!"
Elder Qin: "Shao Xin."
Wei Shaoxin: "Yes!" He ran out a few steps and came back in holding the plaque.
In a short time, he actually took down the inn's signboard.
Wei Shaoxin pointed and read out each word: "Liangzhu Inn."
The man was annoyed: "Are you sick? Why are you bringing in a plaque?"
Elder Qin then said, "My surname is Qin, and my name is Liang Zhu."
This Roman disciple looked at the plaque and then at Elder Qin.
Elder Qin: "Nothing to say? Then let's settle the accounts."
He spoke lightly, but he exuded a terrifying aura of pressure from a peak Out-of-Body Stage. In an instant, five or six of Ben Luomen's disciples were lying on the ground or kneeling, looking extremely embarrassed.
The disciples of Su Xuanzong were not affected by the pressure.
The disciple of this Roman sect, who was being pinned down, still dared to shout, "Suxuan Sect, huh? They're actually accepting disciples from the Nightmare Clan, even wanting dream-eating ghosts. It seems they're not a respectable sect!"
Ji Tang was about to rush out when he heard the sound: "What did you say? I'll kill you——"
Elder Qin: "Jitang."
Jitang endured the pain and held his temper.
"ah!!!"
This Roman disciple suddenly screamed.
Elder Qin tried to stop Ji Tang, but he didn't expect Su Jinzhou to rush out.
Su Jinzhou's expression was as cold as ice as he used the mid-level Earth Solidification spell to land on the man. The man's screams didn't make Su Jinzhou hold back at all. He manipulated the spell to apply even more force.
This disciple of Romamon went from screaming in pain at first to taking rapid breaths and could no longer scream.
Seeing that someone would be killed if he didn't stop the situation, Elder Qin waved his hand and used his spiritual power to break the heavy pressure of the earth, giving the disciple some room to breathe.
Elder Qin glared and said, "Why don't you come back?!"
Su Jinzhou lowered his eyes to look at the man, who suddenly felt a chill down his spine and even his breathing became lighter.
He walked back to Elder Qin.
Ji Tang grabbed Zhu Jinzhou's sleeve, and the anger in his heart disappeared instantly.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother."
The voice was pleasant to the ear and also soothed the anger in Su Jinzhou's heart.
