If the little angel sees anti-theft, it means the purchase rate is not high enough~ On the 玳瑁岛, one of the seven Lianxing Islands, located in the Luo family's clan territory, under a clear waterfall, a young man in black is climbing up with one hand, his skin is washed by the water and is slightly red and shiny.
At the very bottom of the waterfall, on a rock barely wide enough for one person to stand, another young man sat in meditation. His neat, simple blue clothing was already soaked through, clinging tightly to his skin. He must have been uncomfortable, but his expression was one of calmness and composure.
The rocks on the waterfall had been eroded daily by the current and had long since become incredibly smooth. Even with tools, it was difficult to use them, let alone climb them barehanded. Not to mention the resistance of the water pouring down from such a great height.
Yet the young man in black still had enough strength in one hand to reach behind his back. He placed his foot on a smooth rock and used the force to pull himself up. Without even looking, he pressed his hand against the cliff behind the waterfall. Then, tensing his muscles and exerting force, he crunched his abdomen and flipped upwards.
Half an incense stick later, the young man in black, having climbed upstream to the top of the waterfall, wiped the water from his face with a look of great satisfaction. He casually twirled his soaked hair around his neck, blew a sharp warning whistle, and then relaxed his strength, letting himself be swept down by the current like a slide.
The young man in blue, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes at the sound of the whistle and, without hesitation, dodged and landed on the shore. Just as he found his balance, the young man in black was already falling to the bottom of the pool with the waterfall, his head about to hit the rock where the young man in blue had been sitting so securely.
Faced with this situation, neither of them panicked at all. The young man in black even had time to smile at the young man in blue on the shore. Then he raised his right hand and slapped the water, creating a splash more than one person high. He used the force to bounce back and land next to the young man in blue.
At the feet of the two men, a piece of incense stick was quietly burning, with a section as long as an adult's finger joint left unburned.
The young man in black twisted his sleeves, and a small stream of water dripped down, extinguishing the incense sticks. His face still smug, he turned around and glanced at the young man in blue with a smile, "Qianling, what do you think?"
The young man known as Qianling had a calm expression in his eyes. His aura was as steady as a mountain rock, as tranquil as a midnight forest, almost like a spirit in the wilds. However, as soon as he heard the black-clothed young man speak, a smile slowly crept into his eyes, and his expression suddenly became lively and friendly.
"I don't think it's that good." Han Qianling raised his eyebrows and said, "You can climb to the top of the waterfall without using your true energy in an incense stick. I should be happy, but why did you go down the river and hit me in the end?"
"I was so overjoyed that I couldn't control myself. I was so excited that my body sank and I fell down involuntarily. Alas, Qianling, how could you be so unkind that you didn't even help me up when I fell." Luo Jiujiang brushed off the corner of his clothes and turned the tables.
Han Qianling knew Luo Jiujiang's ability to lie openly, so he didn't bother to dwell on the topic. He pulled out a set of clothes from his waist storage bag to change into his already soaked robes, and asked, "From two hands to one, are you going to use only your feet next time?"
"I'm afraid this is still a bit difficult." Luo Jiujiang said with a smile: "If I really want to increase the difficulty, I might as well carry something heavy on my back, such as the stone lion at the gate of my Luo family, the bronze tripod used for sacrifice in the ancestral hall, or you, Qianling."
As soon as he said this, Han Qianling could no longer hold back his otherworldly expression. He slapped Luo Jiujiang on the shoulder in anger and said, "Go away."
Luo Jiujiang laughed heartily and pulled out a dry piece of clothing from his storage bag. Their bags were surprisingly similar, both featuring a green background with cloud patterns and tied with a black ribbon. At first glance, they were clearly very expensive.
They were originally a pair of storage bags that Luo Jiujiang's eldest brother, Luo Sanhuai, had brought back from outside the island as a gift. Luo Jiujiang was immediately attracted by them and surrounded Luo Sanhuai, praising him profusely before finally asking if he could give one to Qianling.
Luo Sanhuai was so angry that he laughed.
This pair of storage bags was originally a prize won by Luo Sanhuai in a small sect competition. Not only was their capacity larger than that of ordinary storage bags, they could also store living things, and were also considered a high-grade magical weapon. But his younger brother, who was not in charge of the household, didn't know the value of firewood and rice. He was so picky that he wanted to give away the goodies before they even had time to warm up.
"I don't care what you do with the things I've given you." Luo Sanhuai said casually, "Brother, I'm just curious. If you want to marry a wife in the future, will you split it in half and give half to Qianling?"
"No, no." Luo Jiujiang bowed solemnly, "My lady's skin and flesh are delicate and need to be treated gently. If I really had one, I wouldn't give it away. On the other hand, big brother is wise and brave, and he has watched Qianling and I grow up, so he can be considered Qianling's half-brother. The most important thing is that big brother has thick skin and flesh, so it's no problem to split him in half and give him away..."
Luo Sanhuai was so choked by this little bastard that he picked up the tea saucer and threw it out: "Get lost, go and play with your Qianling."
Luo Jiujiang ducked and dodged the plate thrown by his elder brother, then quickly leaped out of the hall. Just as Luo Sanhuai was sipping his tea to calm himself, he retraced his steps and pulled out a jade box he had prepared long ago. "Brother, I almost forgot what you threw at me."
"What is it?" Luo Sanhuai asked casually, opening the box nonchalantly.
As soon as the jade box was opened, spiritual energy immediately filled the air, making the room feel clearer. It turned out to be a star-bearing grass, a plant unique to the island.
This spiritual herb is extremely precious. It can help cultivators who are building their foundation to consolidate their cultivation and make them go further. For cultivators who are refining Qi, it is even more precious - the star-containing grass can help cultivators who are refining Qi to build their foundation.
