Chapter 38 Can I practice too?
"What did Patriarch Chen say?"
"My father said he agreed. As long as you can do it, let alone 50,000 spirit stones, he would be willing to give you 100,000 or 200,000 spirit stones."
After conveying the message, Chen Wei was extremely curious! But when he asked his father last night, his father refused to tell him.
"Sister Qiu Qian, just tell me what you told my father. Was it about business?"
One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand spirit stones is neither a large nor a small number.
Xu Qiu smiled and did not answer his question. Instead, he said, "Xiao Wei, how about we make a bet?"
"Bet? What bet?"
"If you can advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining within half a month, I will grant you one request."
In half a month, he advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Not a problem!
Although elixirs are not very effective for him anymore, he can eat more good elixirs and the ninth level of Qi Refining will be easy. Moreover, he has been at the eighth level of Qi Refining for more than a year. With occasional practice, he can feel that he is not far from the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Anything you want?"
Xu Qiuqian nodded: "Yes, any request is fine, but you can't take the pills."
"Ah!" Chen Wei was suddenly in trouble. If he couldn't advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining by taking the elixir for half a month, then he wouldn't be able to do it even if he practiced for half a month, right?
"Why, do you think it's too difficult to do it?"
Xu Qiuqian put on a disappointed look and said, "Forget it. I knew you couldn't do it. In that case, then..."
"Who said I can't do it! I can definitely do it!" When Chen Wei heard Xu Qiuqian say that she definitely couldn't do it, and saw her disappointed look, he immediately became anxious, "Isn't it just a matter of advancing to the ninth level of Qi Refining in half a month without relying on pills? I'll do it for you right now! Don't deny it when the time comes!"
It's so easy to fool. They will take the bait after a little provocation.
Xu Qiuqian suppressed her smile and said, "No, I will do what I say."
"Okay then, I'll go back and start practicing now!" Chen Wei said, and prepared to leave.
"You can practice with me for the next half month."
"Sister Qiu Qian, you don't believe me!" Chen Wei's face darkened. "Do you think I will take the pills without your knowledge after I go back?"
"No, I think your friends will definitely come to see you when you go back, and it's hard for you to refuse them. If you were with me, you wouldn't have to worry about this problem."
Chen Wei's face changed, and he said embarrassedly: "Sister Qiu Qian, how did you know? But I didn't go to play with them when they came to see me these few days."
Because he comes here early every morning these days and goes home almost when it’s dark, so he has no time to deal with those people.
They did have some complaints.
"When I have time, I will take Sister Qiu Qian to meet them!"
"Okay, come with me to the backyard to practice. Let's ask the others to go back for the next half month. They are safe in the store."
Chen Wei naturally believed Xu Qiuqian, and asked the other people who were protecting him to go back. He also asked Xiao Ye to tell his father that he had been staying with Sister Qiuqian for the past half month.
Following Xu Qiuqian into the backyard, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Why is it so shabby and old?"
He thought the shop was simple enough, empty and with nothing in it, but he didn't expect the backyard to be even simpler and emptier.
"Yes, I threw away all the old things and only recently started to buy new furniture."
Took Chen Wei into the hall on the first floor.
The original tables and chairs in the hall on the first floor were disposed of, and no new ones were added, mainly because she thought that she would not be able to use this hall. In addition, Chen Wei gave her a storage bag of books, so she simply bought a few large bookshelves and placed the bookshelves on both sides of the hall, leaving an empty space in the middle to put a carpet and a few cushions.
Entering the hall, Yun Yi, who was sitting on the floor reading a book, stood up.
"Manager."
When Xu Qiuqian saw Yun Yi, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Wei.
Because Yun Yi was not wearing a mask, she was afraid that Xiao Wei would say something to make Xiao Yi sad.
Fortunately, Chen Wei just glanced at Yun Yi without any reaction. He looked at the bookshelf in the hall, nodded, and praised: "The arrangement of this bookshelf looks very good, well-arranged and not dull."
"These were all done by Xiaoyi. I don't understand any of this, but it does look very beautiful." Xu Qiuqian praised.
Yun Yi lowered his head embarrassedly.
Chen Wei retracted his gaze, "Sister Qiu Qian, am I going to practice here?"
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
"You should have the Bigu Pill, right?"
"Yes." Chen Wei took out a bottle of fasting pills from the storage bag.
"That's fine. You will practice here for the next half month. You are not allowed to leave the hall until you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"……knew."
Chen Wei sat down and planned to start practicing.
"Wait."
Xu Qiuqian entered the Void Mall and searched for the Spirit Gathering Array.
Spirit Gathering Arrays come in different sizes, and can gather different amounts of spirits. The smallest and cheapest one only requires 5 points, but is only about one square meter in size, and can only gather about twice as much spiritual energy as usual.
This little bit of spiritual energy is far from enough for Chen Wei, who relies on elixirs to improve his cultivation.
She still has 75 points in her hand now. Xu Qiuqian took a look at the price of 75 points and saw an aura array of 80 points.
Two square meters, the range is not the main thing. The main thing is that this 80-point spiritual energy array can gather about thirty times the usual spiritual energy. Xu Qiuqian exchanged the remaining fifty-three spiritual stones in the storage bag for fifty pieces and gathered 80 points. He gritted his teeth and bought it.
Coming out of the Void Mall, a formation plate appeared in his hand.
"Are there any mid-grade spirit stones?"
She only had a few low-grade spirit stones left, and low-grade spirit stones could not activate the formation.
Chen Wei took out a medium-grade spirit stone.
Xu Qiuqian took it, placed the spirit gathering array on the ground, embedded a medium-grade spirit stone into it, and spiritual energy immediately began to gather.
"Just practice in the spirit gathering array."
"knew."
Chen Wei is a man of action. Since he made a bet with Xu Qiuqian, he would not cheat. He took a fasting pill and immediately sat down cross-legged to start practicing.
When he felt the rich spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array, he felt at peace.
He originally thought that it was unlikely to reach the ninth level without taking any medicinal pills for half a month, but with this spirit gathering formation, he suddenly became full of confidence.
How could this spirit gathering array gather such a rich spiritual energy! It was even better than the one in his home! Seeing Chen Wei start to practice, Xu Qiuqian was about to leave, but saw Yun Yi staring at Chen Wei who was practicing in a daze.
She thought about it.
Yun Yi is fifteen, but he is only at the first level of Qi Refining, which seems to make him even worse than Chen Wei. However, Chen Wei does not practice himself, and Yun Yi probably does not have the time to practice.
After he joined the store, he cleaned, cooked and washed dishes every day.
"Do you want to practice?"
Hearing this, Yun Yi raised his head, looking confused.
Xu Qiuqian asked him again.
A trace of fear flashed across Yun Yi's eyes, but he still mustered up the courage: "Can I practice too?"
"Of course." Xu Qiuqian pulled Yun Yi closer to the spirit gathering formation, "You can practice with us, but you haven't taken the fasting pill, so you can't practice all the time like Xiao Wei."
"I……"
"Okay, for the next half month, you should be like him. Apart from eating and sleeping, just keep practicing. There's nothing to sell in the store, so you don't need to watch it."
Xu Qiuqian made the final decision, and then he heard the sound of the Three Soul Bell ringing.
"Someone's coming to the store. I'll go take a look. You should practice well."
