Seeing Xiang Sheng turn around and push open the door to leave, Lu Zhu wanted to say something several times but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing. He watched her leave, feeling disappointed.
To be fair, if it weren't for his sister's constant care along the way, he would have died several times already. He has done his best to this point and has no right to ask for anything more.
But he didn't expect that he would feel a little reluctant when he suddenly heard about the farewell.
Obviously...their relationship along the way was not pleasant at all.
…
Xiang Sheng left the earth building and followed the route he remembered from the way here, and soon found a bustling market.
The old streets were lined with stalls on both sides, and most of the pedestrians were independent cultivators. Occasionally, one or two disciples from the sects would pass by arrogantly, and the independent cultivators around them would keep a distance and make way for them.
Xiang Sheng walked around twice, but all he heard were some exaggerated and false words from casual cultivators, and he didn't get any useful information.
She asked several people indirectly about the opening date of the ancestral land, and the answer she got was midnight on July 15th.
Since the opening date of the ancestral land remains unchanged, why is the Wan family in such a hurry to come ten days in advance?
Or was the news intentionally blocked and no one below knew about it?
Xiang Sheng's mind raced as he passed a stall. His eyes inadvertently swept across a piece of gold paper on the stall, and his body froze for a moment.
Her pupils narrowed, but she did not linger, choosing instead to continue strolling.
She originally wanted to walk around twice before returning to that stall, but as she walked along the way, Xiang Sheng discovered that several stalls had gold paper, exactly the same as the one she got in Mingyun Market.
Stopping at a stall at random, Xiang Sheng picked up the gold paper and looked at it carefully. He immediately found that the patterns on it were slightly different from those on the gold paper in the stone chamber, but the words written on it were exactly the same.
After thinking about it, Xiang Sheng bought the page of gold paper as well, and the price was also one spirit stone.
After putting away the gold paper, Xiang Sheng wandered around for another half day until he found out where the disciples of the Chiyan Sect were staying, and then he returned.
When we returned to the earth building, it was already late. There was a faint light on in each room of the building, making the corridor quite bright.
Xiang Sheng walked quickly over, found Lu Zhu's room and opened the door.
Upon hearing the voice, Lu Zhu immediately stood up and came out to greet her. Seeing Xiang Sheng, the anxiety on his face immediately vanished, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister, you're finally back. After you left, there was an argument outside, and it wasn't long before the formation was triggered. After those two people were killed by the formation, the earth building has been quiet ever since."
Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly. "You mean, there was a period of time between the two people arguing and the triggering of the formation, rather than it being triggered immediately?"
"That's right."
Lu Zhu nodded doubtfully, "Is there something strange?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head. "Nothing much. I just feel that the ancient formations in this city are not as powerful as I expected."
Lu Zhu suddenly laughed: "Sister, I heard someone say before that this ancient city has existed for tens of thousands of years. With such a long time span, even the most meticulous formation would probably have mistakes, right?"
"Is there any mistake..."
Xiang Sheng frowned slightly. She always felt that something was wrong, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that everything was normal and she was just overthinking it.
That's all.
Xiang Sheng's brows relaxed, and his fingertips brushed across the storage ring. In fact, he took out a piece of gold paper from each of the two rings and pretended to throw them aside casually.
Lu Zhu immediately noticed this action, picked up the two pieces of gold paper from the ground, and said with a smile: "Sister, did you buy another piece of waste paper?"
"Um."
Xiang Sheng hummed lightly, walked over to Lu Zhu, took two pages of gold paper, looked at them, and handed over the one he bought at the stall today, "This is for you."
"OK!"
Lu Zhu happily accepted it and then sighed, "I still remember when I was a kid, my eldest brother gave me one to play with. Back then, I was ignorant of the world and really thought the 'Breath Containment Technique' written on it was a shocking secret method. I spent a lot of energy practicing it, but I couldn't master it.
Later I learned that this "Breath Containment Technique" had long been a commonplace technique, and no one had ever mastered it. I was mad at my brother for a long time before I forgave him..."
As Lu Zhu was talking, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes. After a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, if you give me something, I will give you one too."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, a white light flashed, and an exquisite azure dagger appeared in his palm.
"This is a human-level mid-grade spiritual dagger, named Lian Cui."
Lu Zhu forced the dagger into Xiang Sheng's hand. "Although it's not of high quality, it's still a spiritual dagger after all. It's much sharper than your bone-breaking knife."
The dagger feels slightly heavy in the hand and has an extraordinary texture.
Xiang Sheng weighed the dagger and pulled it out of the scabbard. The dagger hummed softly and a cold light suddenly appeared.
"good."
Xiang Sheng praised it lightly and did not refuse, "I accept it, thank you."
The bone knife was taken from an ordinary beast, and the bones were not strong enough. There were many notches on the blade, making it useless. She really needed a weapon, and this spiritual dagger was just the right one.
Seeing that Xiang Sheng accepted it readily, Lu Zhu was even happier than Xiang Sheng. He chatted with Xiang Sheng for a long time before reluctantly going to the inner room to practice.
Xiang Sheng stayed by the door to keep watch.
She pulled the oil lamp closer and examined the gold paper in her hand carefully.
After the Qi Refining Stage, Xiang Sheng's memory had greatly improved. After spending a moment memorizing the entire text on the gold paper, she directly tried to practice. The result was just as Lu Zhu said, the talisman condensed from the true essence had no effect at all.
Xiang Sheng gently stroked the surface of the gold paper with his fingertips, as if thinking about something.
The origin of this gold paper was strange. She was 80% sure that the piece in her hand was the real original of "The Art of Concealing Breath". The text on it was exactly the same as the fake one. The only difference was in the pattern.
