Chapter 40: Ninth Level of Qi Refining
After dinner, Xu Qiuqian was going to wash the dishes, but Yun Yi rushed to do it, so she let him do it.
After all, she is a lazy person who doesn't know the difference between grains. If she is really asked to go, she might even break several bowls.
Glancing at the sky outside which was already darkening, Xu Qiuqian walked into the backyard and saw that Chen Wei was still practicing. He nodded with satisfaction and said that Chen Wei should be able to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining within half a month.
Just as she was about to go upstairs.
“Oh no!”
She hurried downstairs. Yun Yi had just finished washing the dishes. Seeing Xu Qiuqian looking flustered, she quickly asked her, "Manager, what happened?"
"I suddenly remembered the dark yellow gas outside. You have cultivation skills, so will you be affected if you inhale it?"
She had been busy these days, and since she was just a mortal, the gas had no effect on her at all, so she forgot about it. Yun Yi had never mentioned it either, and he didn't practice regularly, so she forgot about it even more.
As a result, she didn't remember it until just now.
After all, the dark yellow gas will not be unable to invade just because the door is closed. If that were the case, why would those monks be so afraid of it? The gas is pervasive and ordinary means cannot stop it.
Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
"Manager, don't worry. Last time you told me that after you set up a defense array in the store, the gas has never entered the store or the backyard again."
I didn’t expect that the mall’s defense system would have this function.
Xu Qiuqian breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good." Then he remembered and asked Yun Yi, "What about you? Were you affected before the defense formation was set up?"
"No."
"real?"
“Really.” Yun Yi smiled, but because half of his face had rotted away and he had never smiled before, his smile looked stiff and you couldn’t tell. “Manager, don’t worry. I was only at the first level of Qi Refining before, so it didn’t have much of an impact on me. Besides, I pass by the store several times a day. Once the Three Soul Bell rings, that slight impact will be gone.”
Only then did Xu Qiuqian finally feel relieved.
"If you feel unwell, please tell me immediately, okay?" After all, this was indeed her negligence.
Yun Yi nodded obediently.
Watching Xu Qiuqian go up to the second floor, Yun Yi's stiff smile disappeared, and his expressionless look made his face look even more terrifying.
He went back to the backyard.
Chen Wei, who had just finished practicing a round of mental skills, opened his eyes when he noticed someone had entered the spirit gathering formation. He was so frightened when he saw the enlarged rotten face in front of him that he screamed.
However, before he could shout out, Yun Yi, who was prepared, blocked his voice with his hand.
"The manager is resting. If you shout you will disturb her." He said coldly.
Chen Wei nodded.
Yun Yi then let go of Chen Wei. Chen Wei patted his chest and couldn't help complaining: "Why did you get so close to me? Do you know that I was almost scared to death when I opened my eyes and saw you?"
"It would be best if you were scared to death."
Chen Wei rolled his eyes.
He finally realized that this ugly boy had something against him. If it weren't for Sister Qiu Qian's face, and seeing the height of the other little carrot head, who was so weak that he would fall down with a gust of wind, he would have to give him a taste of his strength! Close your eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
Yun Yi thought about how the other party had turned pale with fear just now, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, then he closed his eyes and began to practice.
The other side.
Xu Qiuqian went upstairs.
As usual, he glanced at the green-haired little spirit beast nestled in the soft cloud bed; the little spirit beast still had its eyes closed.
She couldn't help but wonder.
How come you haven't opened your eyes in so many days? Is there something wrong?
I can't ask that spirit beast either. The last time I tore open the teleportation scroll and was able to teleport to the depths of the Fierce Wind Forest was purely a coincidence.
Forget it, let’s wait and see. At the moment, the little beast is just sleeping and has no other reaction, so there shouldn’t be any big problem.
He reached out and touched the furry little beast.
"If you don't wake up, I'll abandon you." She said jokingly and threateningly.
After saying that, he saw that the little spirit beast didn't react at all, so he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep.
When she fell asleep, the little spirit beast with its eyes closed emitted a green light all over its body, like a glowing green ball. Some glowing stars sank into Xu Qiuqian's skin and disappeared.
Thirteen days later.
"Sister Qiu Qian! Sister Qiu Qian, I'm at the ninth level!"
As soon as Xu Qiuqian opened her eyes, she heard Chen Wei's excited voice.
She got off the bed and saw Chen Wei, who looked very proud and wanted to be praised, and exclaimed: "Really nine floors? Not bad, great!"
"Hehe, Sister Qiu Qian, look at how amazing I am. It was said that I would reach the ninth level in half a month, but I have already reached the ninth level in just thirteen days. I think I am a genius in cultivation! If I practice seriously, Xie Ziyi will have no chance. My father always mentions Xie Ziyi in front of me. Humph, today I will show him that I am not inferior to Xie Ziyi! And the Ying family..."
Chen Wei's exaggerations became more and more outrageous, and in the end he boasted that he was the only one in the entire Xuanyun Continent.
Xu Qiuqian found it funny, but did not interrupt Chen Wei's enthusiasm.
"Yes, you are so amazing. If you practice diligently, you will definitely surpass Xie Ziyi. When you surpass Xie Ziyi, I will give you a big surprise."
Chen Wei's eyes lit up: "Really? What surprise?!"
“You’ll know when you surpass it.”
As he spoke, Chen Wei recalled the bet he made with Xu Qiuqian, "Oh, by the way, Sister Qiuqian said before that if I reach the ninth level of Qi Refining within half a month, she would agree to one of my requests!"
Xu Qiuqian did not intend to default on the debt, and nodded: "Have you thought about your request?"
“Aren’t there five rooms on the second floor of the backyard?”
"right."
"Then I want one of them. From now on, that room will be mine. No one else can live in it. I can come and stay here anytime. How do you think?"
Xu Qiuqian was surprised.
"Have you thought it through?"
She thought Chen Wei would use this request to raise something more important, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
"I've thought it through! And only I, Sister Qiu Qian, and the people I designate can enter that room. Without my permission, that ugly... Yun Yi can't enter!"
I feel so angry when I think of Yun Yi and Chen Wei.
Yun Yi, this ugly boy, always managed to catch him making some noise just when he had finished practicing. When he opened his eyes, he would see Yun Yi’s scary face. As a result, he didn’t dare to open his eyes for the next few days, for fear of being distracted and failing to reach the ninth level.
Now that he is at the ninth level, he must teach that brat a lesson! Sister Qiu Qian doesn't allow him to use force, so he will give him a taste of his own medicine!
"Okay, I promise you." This is really easy. "Which one do you want?"
"No hurry, I'll come back to choose in two days."
With a plan in mind, Chen Wei hurried back to arrange manpower.
"Sister Qiu Qian, I'm going to go back and tell my father first."
"I'll go with you."
She was still waiting to get the spirit stones for the auction the day after tomorrow! Thinking of the way the Xiao family and the Ying family would come to beg her for cooperation after the auction, Xu Qiuqian couldn't wait.
