Chapter 251 The shared love between master and disciple
Yuan Zhi's thoughts were more obvious to Lin Zhi than the glow of the dancing grass on a moonlit night, but as she had a preference in her heart, Lin Zhi could not help but indulge him.
But only this time, so as not to form some kind of action instruction that makes people feel that they can always reap the benefits in this way.
"But next time, Junior Brother, don't put yourself in danger like this."
Lin Zhi wiped the blood off her face slowly and methodically with a handkerchief.
Even when he paused to remind her, his tone was gentle and he seemed particularly serious.
But those gentle eyes that seemed to hide the moonlight inadvertently revealed a subtle coldness, entwining people in circles like vines.
The proud puppy that had been holding its head high in Yuan Zhi's heart suddenly shrank down with its tail between its legs. He was keenly aware of the emotions of the person he was trying to please through his tone. Although he didn't know what would happen, he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Yuan Zhi nodded quickly, inexplicably not daring to speak.
He changed out of his bloody shirt, and the boy's body lines still had the youthfulness unique to his age, and the perfect muscles showed his youth and strength.
Yuan Zhi had no intention of showing off his body to seduce others, but he did not intend to hide it. After he used the Dust Removal Technique to remove the dirt on his body, he obediently let Lin Zhi sprinkle the powder on him.
After changing into new clothes, the breathless duo finally found them.
Xi Tongying propped herself up on her legs and panted, "I almost got lost. Brother, you're too fast. I really hope I can learn sword-controlling skills quickly so I won't get lost next time!"
The speed of the wind control technique depends on the strength of the spiritual power. Xi Tongying and Ji Jiao's spiritual power is not as strong as Lin Zhi's. In addition, their spiritual energy has not been replenished due to their previous injuries, so it is difficult for them to catch up.
Ji Jiao poured cold water on him mercilessly: "When you learn how to use magic tools, Senior Brother will be able to move faster."
Xi Tongying waved her hand like she was chasing away a bug, too lazy to argue with him, and looked at Yuan Zhi.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Yes, Senior Brother treated me."
After hearing that no one was hurt, Xi Tongying and the others looked around and discovered the devastation left by the great battle.
The twin snakes that were originally lurking here were nowhere to be seen. Ji Jiao asked, "Junior brother, where are the twin snakes?"
Yuan Zhi: "The skin was half peeled off. It was very troublesome. I put it away. I will let them peel it themselves when they hand in the task."
The twin snakes are a type of snake with two heads and one body. It is not easy to skin it. Yuan Zhi has something important to do to his senior brother, so he doesn't have much time to spare for it.
"Don't do that," Xi Tongying shouted, teaching her innocent little apprentice, "You'll just be letting them take advantage of you. You only need to give the snake skin for the mission, and the rest is yours."
"Those are of no use to me."
Knowing that the other party meant well, Yuan Zhi was not impatient, but he didn't need to do this.
"You can exchange them for spirit stones. The snake meat can be sold to the brothers at the Beast Peak as feed for spirit beasts and demon beasts, or you can sell it to Zhuan Yu Lou. The snake teeth and bones can be given to the Weapon Peak, or you can keep them and sell them to talisman practitioners at the market. The snake gall can be used as medicine. The most important thing is the twin snakes' demon pills. The demon pills of second-level demon beasts will definitely sell well. If nothing else, the businesses under the Beast Taming Sect will definitely buy them."
Xi Tongying spoke very clearly and it was obvious that she knew a lot about this.
"I don't need spirit stones."
Yuan Zhi's words confused the two of them, even Lin Zhi was silent.
The young swordsman looked calm, as if he didn't think he had said anything outrageous.
Lin Zhi understood that he was only born not long ago and he had no concept of currency at all, but Xi Tongying and Ji Jiao didn't understand. They didn't understand and they were greatly shocked.
"Those are spirit stones," Xi Tongying emphasized, "Those are spirit stones. Who would complain about having too many spirit stones? All those elixirs, talismans, materials, and magical instruments all require spirit stones. Even the spirit gathering array requires spirit stones! Junior brother, you are still young. Don't you know that without spirit stones, you simply cannot practice!"
Otherwise, the reason why there are so many monks in the sect is of course because they can provide resources to the disciples.
Ji Jiao said sympathetically, "Although we sword cultivators don't need waste materials to make progress like other cultivators, we still have to replace broken swords. A good sword is expensive, and divine weapons are even more expensive. The Treasure Pavilion is full of swords that we can't afford, not to mention sword patterns. Last time, Tong Ying asked a rune cultivator to carve a one-time damage rune on her sword, and it cost ten mid-grade spirit stones!"
Xi Tongying looked pained: "Yes, it emptied my pocket money for half a year! Although it feels good, it's not worth it when I think about it. I could buy several bottles of medium-quality elixirs with it."
Although the two senior brothers and sisters are still in the Qi training stage, they have already comprehended the eternal laws of the world.
Yuan Zhi seemed to understand something, but was a little puzzled. Then he said something that made his senior brothers and sisters break down.
"Don't masters give these?"
After hearing this, the sword cultivator will remain silent, and the sword cultivator will cry.
"How could Master..." Xi Tongying waved her hands weakly, "Forget it, your Master might."
After all, Yuan Zhi is the only disciple of Tingyan Jianzun and he is so talented. I think he has no shortage of all kinds of natural treasures, magical instruments and elixirs. As for spirit stones, it is even more impossible for him to lack them.
Xi Tongying and Ji Jiao looked at each other and tears flowed into their stomachs.
Lin Zhi knew very well that Yuan Zhi not only had a misunderstanding of the master-disciple relationship, but also because he and Ting Yan were one, so in his view, it was natural for Ting Yan to give him things.
Before the atmosphere became silent, Lin Zhi touched the ring and face belt on her waist and asked curiously: "Junior Sister Xi, where is the market you are talking about?"
The topic was changed and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"We have a small market every three months in Guiyi Sect. It is held on a small hill near the Deacon Hall. Disciples from different peaks trade with each other. Besides the small market, there is also a big market. The closest place to our Guiyi Sect is Mingsong City. There is not only a treasure pavilion but also an auction house in the city. It is very lively."
As Xi Tongying spoke, she couldn't help but show some longing on her face. She really wanted to go out and play.
Lin Zhi's eyes curved slightly: "If I have the chance, I would like to go and see it for myself."
"If there is a chance, let's go together!"
Xi Tongying said with a smile, and turned around to see Ji Jiao who was thinking about something. She couldn't help but bumped into him and asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"I think that with Junior Brother Yuan's ability, he will definitely shine in the Aoi Exam in half a year."
Kui Test is an internal competition among Jianfeng disciples, usually held once a year. Half a year has passed since the last Kui Test. One of the criteria for the competition is cultivation level. Yuan Zhi entered the sect together with them, so logically he should have taken the test together. However, based on Yuan Zhi's cultivation speed, perhaps in half a year he would be able to show his skills in the fighting arena of the foundation-building period, while they would still be on the stone platform of the Qi training period.
Ji Jiao was not dissatisfied, he was just envious and somewhat unwilling to accept his own obscurity.
The morning mushroom does not know the new moon and full moon, the cicada does not know the spring and autumn, how can they see the truth in the eyes of genius?
"Didn't you say that I had forgotten about this? My mother had told me to behave well before. Brother, will you come and see me then?"
Half a year was not a long time for them, so Xi Tongying simply made an invitation in advance.
Yuan Zhi looked straight at Lin Zhi, almost making it clear.
Lin Zhi responded with a smile.
They rested in the woods for a night, and their relationship became closer as they talked and laughed.
After that, Xi Tongying and Ji Jiao completed their tasks and did not leave, but helped Lin Zhi collect spiritual herbs.
When Lin Zhi left the secret realm, completed the task and left the Deacon's Hall, Yuan Zhi stuffed a box into Lin Zhi's hand.
As if worried that he wouldn't want it, Yuan Zhi used the wind control technique to leave after sending it off.
After Lin Zhi returned to Yunwu Mountain, he touched the vines that had grown around the house and opened the box, which contained a snake gall.
Yuan Zhi learned his lesson and stopped asking him whether he wanted it or not. It is estimated that among the many things Xi Tongying introduced about the market, he only listened to the part about snake gall being able to be used as medicine.
Lin Zhi put the things separately in the jade pendant and thought about what gift to give in return.
After all, it was the first gift he was going to give, so he had to think carefully about it.
Lin Zhi changed into a robe and took out the Wuqing grass from the jade pendant.
This is a spiritual plant that can store sunlight. When mature, the juice in the rhizome will turn light gold. It is one of the raw materials for the mid-grade Qingxin Pill. Keeping it around can also help stabilize your mind.
Lin Zhi found a flowerpot and planted the dancing grass in it.
The infusion of pure wood spiritual energy made the originally wilted Dancing Grass shake its green leaves. After sensing its mood, Lin Zhi placed it in the place with the brightest sunlight.
After meditating for a while, Lin Zhi went to the nursery.
The patch of creeper he was responsible for shook, trying to attract its attention.
Lin Zhi gave them a few strands of wood spiritual energy and went over to where the Thousand Heart Flowers were.
The Thousand Heart Flower moved its branches, and a large patch of white flowers moved with it. From a visual point of view, it looked a bit weird.
Qian Xinhua was complaining about why he came just now, which made Lin Zhi couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm busy these days."
Lin Zhi didn't know whether it could understand or not, but he still explained it anyway.
He stood closer, sticking to the edge of the formation, liquefied the spiritual energy, and dripped it onto Qian Xinhua's body.
Even after giving it more than twice the usual amount, Lin Zhi could still feel its restlessness and dissatisfaction.
Lin Zhi asked in a low voice: "Are you about to mature?"
The flowers and plants are silent, occasionally moving with the wind.
Half a month later, Lin Zhi got the answer from his master.
"The Thousand Heart Flowers are about to mature. You should collect those creepers these days. You don't need to plant new ones. You can arrange the planting after the Thousand Heart Flowers are harvested."
Ren Hebo brought up this matter after teaching Lin Zhi.
"The picking of the Thousand Heart Flowers is done by your Third Senior Brother and his disciples who are in the late stage of foundation building. If you want to watch, you can go to the side and have a look. But it is best not to get close to it during the day when it matures."
Lin Zhi replied: "Disciple knows."
Ren Hebo was very satisfied with his intelligent disciple. He left some things to supplement his disciple's storage ring and left gracefully.
After Lin Zhi left, he went to the nursery and picked some vines.
Most of these things were recorded in the books and belonged to Yizong. However, Lin Zhi grew vines quickly, and he accumulated some of them while ensuring the supply. He was good at balancing the accounts and making some money.
He looked at Qianxinhua, gave it some spiritual energy as usual, and then left.
Two days later, in the middle of the night, Lin Zhi, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
He could feel that something was calling him.
Following his feeling, Lin Zhi walked to the road he often walked on.
Under the moonlight, the Thousand Heart Flower revealed its full appearance.
All the white flowers on its body have withered, leaving only bare, soft vines the same color as the earth.
As Lin Zhi approached, one of its branches twisted and continued to spread and grow.
A deep red bud sprouted from the top of the thick black vine.
"Give it to me?"
Lin Zhi stretched out his hand, and the flower bud fell into his hand without any effort.
“So this is your seed.”
Lin Zhi closed her hands slightly and held the flower bud gently.
The spreading vines shook and then shrank back.
The seeds in his hand exuded a special fragrance. Lin Zhi turned around and walked back, frowning slightly unconsciously.
After smelling the special scent of the Thousand Heart Flower, the red moon on his abdomen began to heat up.
