Chapter 448: Estrangement
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian paused.
It’s not that these things are so attractive, although the top-grade spirit stones and these rare magic weapons are worthy of attention in the eyes of a True Lord in the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention that there are so many of them.
She just didn't understand.
Since the male cultivator wanted to take care of them, why did he come to her instead of Jin Xiafeng?
Moreover, there should be some organizations on this ship that are much more powerful than their small team. The male cultivators have higher cultivation levels than him, and they have spirit stones and so many resources. If he goes to find those people, someone will definitely agree.
But there is nothing wrong with male practitioners.
She is also short of points now, so it shouldn't be a big deal if she brings one person along.
Just as I was about to agree, I felt a slight heat in the area between my eyebrows, and it was getting hotter.
What's going on?
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but frown.
"Daoyou, what's wrong?"
Coming back to his senses, Xu Qiuqian shook his head.
"We are all in the same boat. If anything happens, we will definitely help. There is no need for these spirit stones. Please take them back, fellow Daoist."
To be on the safe side, Xu Qiuqian refused.
The male cultivator was not discouraged after hearing this. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded politely, "Daoyou is right. I am sorry for disturbing you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Wait."
The male cultivator stopped and turned around, his eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist, have you changed your mind?"
Xu Qiuqian pointed to something on the ground.
"You forgot to take your things with you."
"Oh, I totally forgot about it. Look at my brain." The male cultivator waved his hand, put the things into his storage bag, then turned and left.
Xu Qiuqian looked at the male cultivator's back until he disappeared, then she closed the door and returned to the bed.
She raised her hand and touched the center of her forehead, and it was no longer hot.
Before leaving, the light from the trunk of the Living Tree sank into her forehead, making it slightly warm, and then there was no reaction. She asked the Living Tree what it was, and the Living Tree said it was just a blessing and prayer.
Pray for her safe return.
At that time, she just thought that the light spot was something like a talisman.
When the spot of light sank into his forehead, the Spirit Tree did say that it would come back safely.
When she was about to agree to the monk's request, her forehead felt hot. After she refused, the heat between her eyebrows gradually faded away.
What is the connection between the two? Or is there something wrong with that cultivator? Xu Qiuqian recalled the cultivator's words, demeanor, and actions just now, and did not see any major problems, except that the cultivator came to find her instead of Jin Xiafeng or Shan Miaomiao.
After thinking for a long time without figuring out the problem, he simply put it aside for the time being and entered the space of the Hunling Jade Pendant.
As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of a sword breaking through the wind.
Xu Qiuqian looked over and saw Gu Jiao practicing sword-fighting with great concentration, while Qingming was lying not far away, looking up slightly at Gu Jiao practicing sword-fighting.
She watched Gu Jiao practice for a while and nodded in her heart.
Because Gu Jiao had Jianxin's relationship with her and she had taught Gu Jiao some sword skills before, and she even used her own connections to get people from the Wanjian Sect to teach Gu Jiao, so Gu Jiao looked quite capable.
With an idea in his mind, he took out a low-level sword from his storage bag and stabbed it at Gu Jiao.
When Gu Jiao saw Xu Qiuqian taking action, he switched to a defensive stance with his sword.
"Attack instead of defense." Xu Qiuqian said, and when Gu Jiao heard it, she switched from defense to offense.
Afterwards, Xu Qiuqian fed Gu Jiao dozens of moves.
Because of Jian Xin, Gu Jiao's swordsmanship improved rapidly, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. Xu Qiuqian's research on swordsmanship was limited, so there was nothing he could teach her.
In the end, he cut the Gordian knot and won against Gu Jiao.
"Sister Qiu Qian is so awesome!" Gu Jiao was full of admiration, her eyes sparkling.
Xu Qiuqian chuckled and said, "What's so great about this?"
He was able to defeat Gu Jiao only because he relied on the various things he had learned in his previous life, his rich combat experience, and his current cultivation level being higher than Gu Jiao's, thus defeating her.
Now Gu Jiao’s swordsmanship is not enough to defeat her.
But given time, Gu Jiao will master what she taught, and she will definitely not be able to defeat Gu Jiao in swordsmanship.
"She's really amazing. Sister Qiu Qian is so busy every day, and I haven't seen her practicing swordplay, but she can still beat me easily and teach me so much."
"Okay, no need to flatter me." Xu Qiuqian reached out and rubbed Gu Jiao's head, then looked at the sword in Gu Jiao's hand. The sword was the one she gave to Gu Jiao.
"You are now in the foundation-building stage. After you reach the golden elixir stage, you can refine your own natal sword."
Gu Jiao nodded with reluctance, this was a gift from Sister Qiu Qian.
"I think this sword is quite comfortable to use and very handy."
Gu Jiao's sword is different from her. Gu Jiao looks petite, but her sword is not a thin sword. It even looks a bit heavy. The width of the sword is wider than her face. Due to the special material, the sword is also heavy, which forms a great contrast with Gu Jiao.
But Gu Jiao was able to use it with ease, unleashing enormous energy from her petite body.
Compared to the rapier, Gu Jiao is indeed more suitable for this kind of sword.
"But this sword is not a growing sword. After you form your golden elixir, this sword will no longer be able to exert your strength. But you don't have to rush now. It's still too early to form your golden elixir."
Gu Jiao nodded.
"I see."
"You continue to practice sword skills. I'll practice beside you for a while."
"Then I will practice with Sister Qiu Qian as well."
Xu Qiuqian nodded upon hearing this and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing this, Qingming also meditated with Xu Qiuqian. If he just meditated alone, he would not feel anything at all and even wanted to sleep.
But if it meditates next to the tree of life or when the patriarch is practicing, it can feel that its cultivation is indeed increasing, although the growth is very slow.
Therefore, every time Xu Qiuqian was practicing, the Tianyi beasts would meditate.
After about one and a half cycles, Xu Qiuqian noticed some movement outside and left the jade pendant space.
When his spiritual sense expanded, he saw that it was Zhu Yichen and Yun Yi.
After that, the ban is lifted.
"Come in."
After the two came in, she closed the door.
As soon as it was closed, Zhu Yichen asked, "Master, did someone come to see you not long ago?"
Xu Qiuqian responded.
"Indeed, someone came to see me. Does he have any problem?"
"He just came to see Xiaoyi and me. He said that you had promised to protect him and took away a lot of his spirit stones and rare magic weapons. He said that if we want spirit stones and magic weapons, we can come to you for them. Master, did you really take his spirit stones?"
"No."
Zhu Yichen and Yun Yi were stunned when they heard this, and then frowned.
"Then why did he say that? Was he sent by those people to target you?"
As Xu Qiuqian listened, she couldn't help but think of what happened to Gu Jiao before.
Those people told Gu Jiao the wrong truth, which led to Zhao Dongyue almost being killed by Gu Jiao.
She thought for a moment and said, "It's possible..." Then she shook her head, "No, if they were really sent by those people, they wouldn't have to do this."
