Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Hometown etiquette. (Added)...
Soon, the two of them reached the depths from the inner circle.
There were also several encounters with spirit beasts, or accidental entry into the nests of some spirit beasts.
Of course there were also spirit beasts attacking them, but fighting... Qin Zhou was actually not useful.
After all, Qinzhou has swallowed the wind.
Tunfeng usually eats a lot, and Qinzhou has spent a lot of effort to feed it. Since he found that it can pin the nine queen bees to the ground and beat them, Qinzhou has increased the food for Tunfeng.
From first-grade rare elixirs that can satisfy your hunger, to second-grade rare elixirs that can satisfy your hunger.
Tunfeng wished Qin Zhou would summon it every day.
Therefore, under Tunfeng's escort, the two of them only spent half a day to reach the end of the boundary of the barrier, the entrance to the upper world -
Qin Zhou walked towards the portal that was emitting a faint orchid light without much hesitation.
He also felt no discomfort when passing through the portal.
But the moment he officially stepped into the upper realm, Qin Zhou was still shocked by the spiritual energy that came towards him.
It's like being used to living in the smog of the city, and suddenly arriving in the countryside and having your face filled with the fresh air.
Wen Jue: Finally alive.
His cultivation was at a high level, and the amount of spiritual energy required just to maintain the functioning of his body was enormous.
Qin Zhou watched as all the spiritual energy around him rushed towards Wen Jue. All the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles was absorbed by him in an instant.
"...What?" Wen Jue looked away.
Qin Zhou shook his head, "What is your cultivation level?"
Wen Jue was shocked. "Why are you asking this? There are two things you don't ask in the world of immortal cultivation: don't ask about others' cultivation level, and don't ask about others' age."
Qin Zhou: "I thought there was no one else between you and me."
Wen Jue was completely silent.
The sound of the wind made their corner seem especially quiet.
It's not someone else, but it's not someone with whom he has a special relationship. Wen Jue looked down at the road under his feet. At least, he was not ready to tell Qin Zhou everything.
He still has a knot in his heart.
The knot had been in his heart for thousands of years, and even after Qin Zhou came back, it had not been untied.
After all, he had been abandoned for thousands of years.
[Currently, 'Wen Jue''s' favorability towards you is: 89]
[Currently, 'Wen Jue''s favorability towards you is: 88]
[Currently, 'Wen Jue''s' favorability towards you is: 87]
Qin Zhou watched Wen Jue's favorability drop and immediately grabbed his wrist.
Wen Jue raised his eyes:?
"I won't ask anymore." Qin Zhou said in a slightly serious tone.
He thought that even if Wen Jue didn't want to talk, he would just make up something to evade him. But he never expected that he would lose favorability just by saying something wrong.
Even Qin Zhou couldn't react.
"Eat it."
Wen Jue was stunned when he saw the candied haws of medicinal pills that he suddenly took out from his Qiankun bag. "Why are you giving me candied haws all of a sudden?"
"Go back up."
"Um?"
Qin Zhou's eyes were serious, "It's okay, eat."
Wen Jue: “…”
Weird.
But, candied haws.
Wen Jue didn't hesitate and said, "Eat it if you want." He took two skewers in a row, and when he saw that Qin Zhou didn't react, he took one more.
Qin Zhou nodded and took the rest back.
According to the previous game system settings, plus Lu Yi's love for sweets, a string of candied haws can increase the favorability by about 1 point. Of course, this is not the system now.
Therefore, Qin Zhou was not sure whether the price of three strings of candied haws could go back to normal.
[Currently, 'Wen Jue''s' favorability towards you is: 90]
Qin Zhou secretly agreed in his heart.
Sure enough, there is no difference between Lu Yi in the game system and Lu Yi in reality.
"Do you want more?" Qin Zhou took out another string of candied haws.
Wen Jue shook his head. He thought Qin Zhou was weird because he had clearly told him not to eat too much.
Qin Zhou put the things back.
I thought, as expected. When the favorability is above 90, you can no longer use candied haws as an item to increase the favorability.
Qin Zhou has encountered the problem of card limit before.
The upper limit of the villagers' favorability is 80. Undoubtedly, whether it is Lu Er or Lu Qi, everyone's upper limit of favorability is 80.
Lu Yi was also 80.
But Lu Yi is the only one whose favorability has exceeded 80.
Qin Zhou remembered that Lu Yi's favorability exceeded 80. That was just a few days after he gave the Moonlight Reflection Snow to Lu Yi.
Qin Zhou was secretly surprised at that time. The hairpin "Haoyue Yingxue" not only had top-notch attributes, but also had the hidden function of increasing favorability.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
It’s not that the favorability will reach the upper limit.
There is an upper limit to the relationship between people. When a relationship has a breakthrough, the upper limit of favorability will also increase.
The relationship between the village chief and the villagers is a relationship of both teacher and father, and the upper limit is 80, no more. That is the limit of self-discipline and courtesy, and the limit of mutual respect.
Once that limit is exceeded, they can no longer be called father and son.
Now think about it…
Lu Yi, who was shocked and shouted loudly, "How could you give me a hairpin? No, how could you give me a hairpin!", must have also experienced a great shock and hesitation in his heart.
In the end, Qin Zhou did not throw the hairpin in his face. In his opinion, he had done the most he could.
Looking at him now, the "Moonlight Shining in Snow" bracelet is still in his hair, emitting a moon-like white light. The favorability level of 90 already means that the relationship between the two can no longer be that of an ordinary village chief and villager.
After figuring all this out, even Qin Zhou didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Wen Jue."
Wen Jue bit the candied haws and turned back, "Hmm?"
Qin Zhou was stunned. At that moment, the young man in white before him seemed to be the same young man that appeared in the game.
Something in my heart collapsed.
If he could see his favorability towards Wen Jue, he thought, perhaps it would be more than eighty.
Somehow, Qin Zhou also felt an impulse in his heart.
"Once I find the forging hammer, how about I make you a set of accessories? As a token of my gratitude for taking care of me all this time."
Wen Jue was surprised. "Jewelry? A set?"
"It's a ritual in my hometown. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, pendants, and rings. All in gold."
"The etiquette in your hometown is really important." Wen Jue was amazed. If each one was calculated based on the quality of the hairpin on his head, this "etiquette" was indeed expensive.
Qin Zhou smiled and said, "You are the only one who has it. Do you want it?"
"I like unique things. Since you are so sincere, I will naturally take it." Wen Jue agreed without hesitation.
Qin Zhou: “Yeah.”
He thought, you said you wanted it.
…
There are also cities in the upper realm, and the city closest to the entrance to the upper realm is called the realm city.
There are quite a lot of people in Jiecheng, and at a glance, they are all handsome men and beautiful women.
The means of transportation are all various mounts, or riding objects. There are no horse-drawn carriages to be seen, only huge animal chariots passing by from time to time on the wide streets.
Some were in a hurry and flew past like a beam of light, while others were leisurely strolling around the street chatting with each other.
All in all, the bustle of Jiecheng was beyond Qinzhou's expectations.
Qin Zhou and Wen Jue planned to find a place to live in the city.
Even though you no longer need to rest during the Jindan stage, you still need a room where you can meditate quietly.
As soon as he entered the inn, Qin Zhou saw the hall full of guests.
The cultivators’ clothing varies, some are plain, some are elaborate, and the colors are also different.
All the tables in the hall were full, and because there were not enough people, the store owner even added a few more tables temporarily.
Qin Zhou walked straight to the counter.
Even the lady proprietress who runs the store is a cultivator whose level of cultivation Qin Zhou cannot fathom.
After explaining their purpose, the proprietress looked at Qin Zhou and Wen Jue and said, "What a coincidence, there is only one room left. If you come later, it will be gone. Do you want it? Eight hundred spirit stones per night."
One room.
Eight hundred?
He had to sell a lot of pills to get eight hundred spirit stones.
Qin Zhou had obviously realized that the proprietress was trying to trick him.
Qin Zhou was about to speak when Wen Jue said, "Yes."
The proprietress smiled and lowered her head to get the room sign. As she did so, she said to Wen Jue, "That's right. You are such a guide. You talked to your little friend. From the look in his eyes, he seemed to think that my store was some kind of shady store."
kid?
Qinzhou?
Wen Jue wanted to laugh, but when he thought about it, Qin Zhou, who had just entered the upper realm, was only at the Jindan stage. In the eyes of these people, Qin Zhou was indeed a child. And he was probably the "guide" who went to pick up Qin Zhou.
"Now that the secret realm is approaching, all the inns in this world city are full. If you come late, there will be no place to stay." The proprietress couldn't tell Wen Jue's cultivation level, so she reminded him respectfully, "I think you should take the child away while there are not many people around. If you are not careful when you come to the secret realm, you will die..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Jue interrupted him directly, "House card."
Seeing that he was unhappy, the landlady said awkwardly and handed over the room card.
Qin Zhou then took out eight hundred spirit stones.
Fortunately, before he came to the upper realm, he went to the Snow Flower Pavilion to sell a batch of pills.
When the lady boss saw that it was Qin Zhou who paid, her expression changed immediately, "I was talking too much just now, please forgive me, senior."
Qin Zhou didn't say anything, just nodded, took the room card and went upstairs with Wen Jue.
…
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me about the upper realm?" After closing the door, Wen Jue raised his hand and a layer of barrier attached, covering the entire room.
"For example, why did the proprietress suddenly change her address to 'senior' from 'little friend'?" Wen Jue smiled and sat down cross-legged.
Qin Zhou: "I come from the lower realm. Compared to the cultivators here who are often thousands of years old, I am just a kid."
Wen Jue didn't say anything, but thought to himself, what's the point of being a thousand years old?
He only knew that this "little boy" from the lower world was at least 10,000 years old! He was clearly an "old man"!
"What does guide mean?" Qin Zhou asked.
"Many sects in the lower realms have some connections with sects in the upper realms, such as the Qianji Divine Sect and the Tianxing Sect. Even if they are not connected between sects, cultivators in the upper realms have some ancestral relatives in the lower realms. When new disciples or relatives from the lower realms come to the upper realms, the people who come to the entrance of the Realm City to pick them up are called guides."
Wen Jue: "As for why the lady boss suddenly changed her attitude towards you and called you senior, it was because of the eight hundred spirit stones you took out. Think about it, how could an ordinary Jindan cultivator who just came to the upper realm take out eight hundred spirit stones without blinking an eye?"
Wen Jue felt helpless when he thought of Qin Zhou's expressionless face. Was this man really rich, or did he not know the value of spirit stones?
"You have spirit stones, but she saw that you are only in the Golden Core Stage, so she naturally thought that you are some reclusive senior who deliberately concealed your cultivation level."
Qin Zhou nodded.
"You have quite a good eye." Wen Jue sneered. He couldn't stand others looking down on Qin Zhou. Even though it was a mistake, he should still show some respect.
"What is that secret realm?" Qin Zhou asked suddenly.
Wen Jue pretended to be natural and said, "It's just an ordinary secret realm. These cultivators are very idle, so they go wherever there is excitement." As he said that, he coughed lightly, "You are now in the Jindan stage, and you are not yet at the threshold of entering the secret realm. Don't join in the fun."
"Okay." Qin Zhou agreed.
Qin Zhou didn't know whether the realm was secret or not, but he knew Wen Jue very well. When he lied to him, he would feel guilty and make many small moves.
So, this secret place...
He actually wanted to go and have a look.
