"The artifact I'm talking about is not just a finger weapon, that is to say, it is not necessarily a weapon or a defensive magic weapon, it may also be a spiritual object with a sense of consciousness, or a divine beast awakening." Lekong continued slowly.
"What could that be?" Feng Xiatian also took a preserved fruit and began to chew it.
"You'll know when it comes out." Gu Qingxi took out food from the storage bag again. She remembered that there was a kind of fried nuts among the specialties of Liangcheng given by Gao Zhiying. She wanted to try it to see if it tasted good.
"This kind of artifact will choose its own master. Everyone has a chance, so it's so lively." Lekong ate slowly and said while eating.
"Eh? What did you say? The artifact will choose its own master?" Feng Xiatian widened his eyes.
"Yes, because as long as it is a divine artifact, it should have a spirit. If it signs a contract with the owner, it can communicate with the owner. They all have their own consciousness, so of course they will choose their own master." Lekong saw Gu Qingxi take out a bag of fried nuts, and he also reached out to take one.
"This is delicious." Gu Qingxi had already peeled the shell and eaten one. It was fragrant and crispy, leaving a lingering taste in the mouth.
"It's good, but I still think the meat is the best." Lekong said after eating one.
Feng Xiatian glanced at Gu Qingxi and also reached out to take one: "You said we should sit here. If there is really a destiny, and the artifact will choose its own master, will it come to us to recognize its master?"
"You wish." Lekong said unhappily, "To choose its own master, it must be recognized by it. You don't even show up, let alone show yourself, how can it be recognized and choose you?"
"It feels a bit like a male courting a mate and dressing up in a flashy manner." Gu Qingxi complained.
"What a messed up metaphor you are using, can it be the same?" Lekong was even more speechless after hearing what Gu Qingxi said. The two close friends really give people a very unreliable feeling in some aspects.
"That's about right. Don't worry about the details. When the treasure comes out, we'll go join in the fun. What if the treasure chooses the one it likes among the three of us?" Gu Qingxi was looking for food in her storage bracelet again, and she said casually while looking.
Lekong: "..." I think the treasure won't want to choose you when it sees that you're a foodie. It will think you're useless.
Gu Qingxi quickly found the specialty snacks of Liangcheng in her storage bracelet, and then put them out, inviting Feng Xiatian and Lekong to eat.
When the two casual cultivators came over, they saw Gu Qingxi and the other two sitting in the tent, with a lot of food placed in the middle of them, and the three of them were commenting on the various foods.
"Excuse me, fellow Taoists." A casual cultivator stood outside the tent and bowed to Gu Qingxi and the others.
Then the three of them turned their heads with food in their mouths and looked at the people outside the tent door.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"My last name is Fang. I believe the three fellow Taoists are here because of the aurora." Monk Fang said.
"Something?" Gu Qingxi still said these two words, but her tone was a little cold.
Monk Fang felt a little impatient when he heard Gu Qingxi's tone, but when he thought of the purpose of his coming here, he still suppressed his displeasure and said politely: "It's like this, you may not know what the aurora means. It means that a divine weapon is about to be born."
Gu Qingxi felt bored when she heard this. This person looked like this is a huge secret, and I told you because I think you are good people, which also made Feng Xiatian and Lu Kong feel a little bit jealous. This person is deceiving them as bumpkins, and it is obvious that his purpose is not pure.
"So what?" Gu Qingxi asked lightly while eating.
"So we are here to invite you to join us. We are all independent cultivators, but there are many of us. If we unite, when the artifact comes out, our chances of successfully snatching it will be greatly improved." Monk Fang looked sincere and excited, as if he had already snatched the artifact. "The artifact is known by the destined person. We have already discussed that no matter who gets the artifact, the others will do their best to protect him."
After hearing this, Gu Qingxi said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary, because we are just here to join in the fun and have never thought about snatching the artifact." Monk Fang's words may be good for fooling fools, but saying this to her is like wanting to have peaches. (Peach is in English, you read the pronunciation.)
Monk Fang heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "A great opportunity is right in front of you, why don't you give up without trying? Such an idea is not good for your cultivation at all." At the end, his tone became earnest.
"Because we know what we are doing. Sorry, we are just here to watch the fun." After saying this, Gu Qingxi ignored him and continued to eat. Then she turned to Feng Xiatian and said, "I'm a little thirsty. How about you? Do you want some juice?"
Feng Xiatian nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."
Lekong had already prepared the cup.
The three of them no longer looked at the person standing at the door of the tent. The face of the monk Fang turned black, and he left with a wave of his sleeves. Before leaving, he whispered: "Not making progress."
After the monk Fang left, Feng Xiatian watched Gu Qingxi squeeze the juice and curled her lips and said: "Is he a fool or do you think we are fools?"
"But some people will join even though they know that this person's purpose is not pure." Lekong said lightly, "It's just a word of profit, and everyone has their own calculations."
"It should be said that everyone has their own ulterior motives." Feng Xiatian corrected.
"Everyone wants to be the lucky one, and everyone wants to use others as stepping stones." Gu Qingxi squeezed all the spiritual fruits into juice and divided them into cups.
"This thing is very convenient for squeezing juice. Who made it?" Feng Xia Tian took the juice, drank it happily, and asked casually.
"It was made by a certain merchant, a manual juicer." Gu Qingxi didn't look at the trademark and replied casually.
"This person's name is really weird." Feng Xia Tian still complained casually, without further investigating the issue.
In the next few days, Gu Qingxi and the other three stayed in the tent to eat, drink, and meditate. Sometimes they even had hot pot. Fortunately, their tent was at the edge, otherwise the fragrance would overflow and arouse public anger. It was really because it was too fragrant.
In the past few days, Gu Qingxi found that other sect disciples had come, and many casual cultivators had arrived one after another, but most of the casual cultivators joined the temporary alliance formed by monk Fang.
More and more people gathered here. Gu Qingxi roughly estimated that there were at least thousands of people. And people are still coming in a steady stream.
Tianyin Sect is the sect with the largest number of people who came here. Because they had another group of disciples coming after them, plus the independent cultivators they brought along on the way, they had the largest number of people.
At night, in the Tianyin Sect's camp,
Shen Wei and the other two gathered together, discussing with serious faces.
"I didn't expect so many people to gather here." He Ze frowned and said, "Who leaked the news?"
"It should be said that we are not the only ones who got the news. Someone got there long before us." Ping Nanchen said calmly.
He Ze choked. Senior Brother Ping is just like that. He always speaks very seriously and leaves no room for maneuver, which makes people uncomfortable.
"No matter what, we in Tianyin Sect must get the artifact this time. Master should be here soon." Shen Wei said in a deep voice with a cold face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook slightly.
"I'm afraid, we won't be able to wait for Uncle Master to come." Ping Nanchen said calmly, "The artifact will be born soon."
Shen Wei and He Ze's faces also changed suddenly at this moment.
