"One thousand low-grade spirit stones! No less! Absolutely no less!"
Shen Qingyi seemed a little hesitant.
"Is it really not possible to have any less?"
“It really can’t be any less!”
"Oh well……"
Seeing Shen Qingyi take out the spirit stone and hand it to her, the old woman couldn't help but look at the spirit stone, then at Shen Qingyi. She felt that she might have been cheated.
He angrily took the spirit stone and handed a lamp to Shen Qingyi.
As soon as Shen Qing put out the lights, the old woman didn't stay for long. She picked up the basket in her hand and quickly blended into the crowd. She was afraid that if she lingered in front of the girl again, she might get angry to death.
The old woman's figure disappeared completely in the crowd in just three breaths.
Shen Qingyi looked at the place where there was no trace left, thinking about something.
Her conversation with the old woman hardly alarmed anyone.
"Pankong, this lamp?"
"The material of this lamp is indeed special. It is made of soul stones and Louling flowers. It also contains a lot of soul power. Now your shadow is also a part of you. If you absorb some of the energy in this lamp, it will also be beneficial to you."
This was the first time Shen Qingyi heard this statement.
"Don't be surprised. The world distinguishes between various energies: spiritual energy, demonic energy, the power of heaven and earth, soul energy... These differ in some ways, but they also share commonalities. If one finds the right method, they can naturally be absorbed. For example, human cultivators learned the techniques of the demon race, which is why there are so many demon cultivators today. Most of the body-refining techniques of human cultivators were actually originally imitated from the demon race. Most of the magic and spiritual cultivation techniques of the human race were imitated from the spirit and god races. Your shadow can also be used as a medium, like the demon race's meridians, and the tower happens to be able to absorb this part of the energy."
Shen Qing nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Also, this lamp should contain the 'thought of marriage', which is the power of marriage that people in the world seek. After you absorb that energy, if you want to seek a marriage, you can light this mandala lamp and pray."
Shen Qingyi was so shocked by Pan Kong's words that he couldn't help but choke on his own saliva.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
"Pan... Pankong, didn't you just say that if what people ask for in this world is not destined by heaven, then if it comes true, they must pay a price?"
Pan Kong nodded and did not deny it.
"But even so, people have more important things in their hearts. Some things can only be obtained through hard work. After all, how many things are predetermined by fate? Once you make a choice, you naturally have to bear the consequences. Giving up is also one of the consequences."
"Then forget it."
Shen Qingyi looked at the lantern in his hand and refused.
Pan Kong was silent.
"Why?"
He had heard many people making wishes, and didn't men and women all yearn for love?
Shen Qingyi moved his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Is she moved?
Of course I am moved. How many people in this world don’t like beautiful things?
Becoming stronger is beautiful, and a good love relationship is naturally beautiful.
Whether in the past life or this life, Shen Qingyi is still among the ordinary people in the world.
But in this life, I have lived for decades and have experienced a lot of things. These things are naturally much less than the aspirations I had as a girl in my previous life.
However, if you say in your heart that there is absolutely no such thing, that would be a lie.
However, she hadn't met the person she loved yet, or perhaps she was afraid of losing other things...
As if he understood Shen Qingyi's thoughts at the moment, Pan Kong frowned.
"Shen Qingyi, have you ever considered that you are a member of the mortal world, and it is perfectly normal for you to have emotions and desires. It is the spirits who are born without emotions and desires that are truly abnormal. However, most beings in the world admire strength, and the uniqueness of the aliens is also envied or yearned for by many creatures... But, have you humans ever truly thought about what you want?"
What do you want?
Shen Qingyi's eyes were confused for a moment, but soon regained clarity.
"I want to become stronger and walk my own path to becoming an immortal."
When she said this, Shen Qingyi's eyes were very bright, because this goal had been determined for a long time and was relatively clear in her mind.
"Become stronger? Become a powerful being? I know that within you there is a powerful being of your own. Just like you disagree with many of the practices and affairs of the immortal cultivation world, and therefore you seek your own path... then why do you avoid your own emotional issues? They are also part of your path."
It's not about being empty and aggressive.
It was the worry that arose after he sensed Shen Qingyi's emotions.
Shen Qingyi looks very normal, but who would have thought that this person had been a shadowless person for the past few decades.
Without a shadow, her emotions are actually incomplete to a certain extent.
After fusing with the shadow, she perfected herself, which actually meant that in some aspects, she was equivalent to a newbie with no experience.
Pan Kong didn't want Shen Qingyi to take too many detours.
"I'm not avoiding my relationship issues. As you said, as a human being, it's normal to have emotions. If I were lucky enough to meet someone like that, and my heart was moved enough... maybe I would give it a try. But if I had to give up other things that are equally important to me for that, I think... before I've definitely met that person, at least for now, I wouldn't do that."
Pan Kong frowned and looked into Shen Qingyi's eyes. At this moment, he suddenly realized something. Although he and Shen Qingyi were both transformed from all spirits, the differences in all spirits also made them two different people.
However, Pan Kong felt much more relieved after confirming that Shen Qingyi was not running away.
"It's not enough to just run away. If you really encounter it, you might as well give it a try boldly. After all, even Buddhists believe in entering the world first and then enlightenment."
Shen Qing nodded.
"I see."
Shen Qingyi followed the method taught by Pan Kong and carefully felt the energy in the lamp.
"Mobilize it, and then use your spiritual consciousness to absorb it."
The old woman moved swiftly, as if she were alone in the bustling crowd.
"What a bad start! What a bad start! The first lantern I sold was to such a little girl! Humph! These days, although conditions have improved a lot and there are more Taoist couples, both men and women, the marriage business is still not easy to do!"
The old woman sighed, lamenting how difficult it was for her.
If it were usual, his basket of lanterns would have been sold out long ago!
But now, apart from the lamp owned by the little girl, not a single lamp can be sold!
"As expected... I... I shouldn't have been so greedy! I went seeking for the rich power of faith! Now that's it! If I can't sell it, I'll lose both the wife and the army..."
