Chapter 87
Liu Ling was somewhat confused when she saw the situation. She looked at her hands and magic weapons, wondering whether she was too strong or Nan Xi was too weak.
Nan Xi has already started calling the system.
[System, don't you have some special abilities? Give her some psychological hints.]
That's right, it's not that Nan Xi can't act out her true feelings, but after she recently discovered that the system has become more tolerant, she has become more bold and just wants to be lazy when facing this kind of small plot.
The system dares not speak out, but this level of psychological suggestion is indeed easy for it.
He moved his hands a little, then said, "Okay."
Liu Ling only felt a flash before his eyes, and looked at Nan Xi, thinking that he had completely defeated her. He crossed his arms and walked to Nan Xi's side, and picked up the Heavenly Spirit Stone.
He even mocked, "Grand Sister of the Tianyun Sword Sect, nothing more than this."
Then he walked away leisurely.
Nan Xi looked at the person for a moment, and when she found that he was gone, she quickly got up, dusted off her body, and used a cleansing spell to wash off the makeup on her face that pretended to be haggard.
I just felt relaxed.
She always felt that her recent missions had gone exceptionally smoothly.
Although this success was achieved through her own efforts, now she just needs to find an inn to stay in for a few days, which is the same as the heroine in the plot recuperating for a few days, and then find a place to move and follow the plot.
The subsequent plots are all classic plots. For the heroine, it is almost a catastrophe that has devastated the world and is extremely heartbreaking, but for Nan Xi, it is just acting.
At this time, Liu Ling got the Heavenly Spirit Stone in her hand. She was playing with it, thinking about how to make up a reason to justify saying that she was the one who found it for Qi Qian.
But I couldn't find a good reason for the moment.
After all, she was almost always by Qi Qian's side during this period, and she had no alibi at all. Also, although her father was powerful and respected by everyone, he was a loner. Although she was also a talented alchemist and was favored by many people, her reputation could never be as good as her father's.
The reason of asking someone to help find the Heavenly Spirit Stone is not a good one.
After all, the Heavenly Spirit Stone is not an ordinary treasure and is extremely difficult to obtain. She doesn't have the face to ask someone to help her get it.
While thinking, Liu Ling suddenly had an idea.
Not true.
Even if Nan Xi got hold of something so difficult to obtain, shouldn't she protect it at all costs? How did she defeat Nan Xi and get this Heavenly Spirit Stone?
Afterwards, she found that she could not remember the scene of the fight, and could only remember the scene of the Heavenly Spirit Stone rolling down.
Another flash of inspiration came to Liu Ling's mind.
Could it be a fraud?
While thinking, Liu Ling was walking towards the Yuxu Sect and saw Qi Qian. Thinking about the strange thing just now, he subconsciously put away the Heavenly Spirit Stone.
What if this Heavenly Spirit Stone is fake? If she gives it to Qi Qian, wouldn't it be bad if it is found to be fake?
When Qi Qian saw Liu Ling, his expression was actually no different from other times, but he stopped in front of her and greeted her in a fairly warm tone.
"Miss Liu, what are you doing here?"
When Liu Ling saw Qi Qian and met his eyes, her face involuntarily flushed and her eyes became a little evasive. The arrogance she had just shown completely disappeared, and the girl's worries were almost written on her face.
He only said: "I was just about to go find Brother Qi. There are still some things I don't understand about cultivation..."
Qi Qian nodded, "That's perfect. I'm going to practice swordplay. Miss Liu, please follow me."
After saying this, his eyes lightly passed over Liu Ling's face again, and he walked forward, as if signaling Liu Ling to walk with him.
But if you really want to talk about it, there doesn't seem to be any ambiguous behavior. He is clearly cold, but still makes people feel good about him.
Liu Ling immediately forgot about the matter of the Heavenly Spirit Stone and followed Qi Qian away.
It was not until later, when Liu Ling had time to think about this matter, that the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he made up his mind.
Go find Nan Xi again.
After lying in the inn for a few days, Nan Xi thought that the time was about right, so he went to the Yuxu Sect again.
Most of the sects in the world are not built in the city. It takes about a quarter of an hour from this city to the Yuxu Sect. Nan Xi thought there would be no obstacles this time until she saw Liu Ling who called her again rudely.
"Hey! Stop right there, girl."
Nan Xi: “?”
The second time he stopped her and said the same words, Nan Xi couldn't bear it anymore. She looked at Liu Ling who was getting ahead of her and curled her lips coldly.
"First, I don't say hello."
After saying this, Nan Xi felt relieved. She held back her laughter and said, "Second, what do you want from me this time? Are you going to beat me up again?"
Liu Ling didn't notice anything wrong. She raised her head and questioned Nan Xi, "Is the Heavenly Spirit Stone you gave me a fake? Give me the real Heavenly Spirit Stone right now."
Before Liu Ling said this, Nan Xi had never imagined that Liu Ling came to her again just to ask such a weird question.
She thought the girl was a little crazy and her brain didn't seem to be very bright.
"Is it fake? Can't you just go and test it?"
Liu Ling was confused for a moment, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of Nan Xi's words, and then shook her head firmly and continued: "You must have done something! And the Heavenly Spirit Stone is so rare, and I don't have a way to detect it."
Watching Liu Ling gradually became more righteous and confident, Nan Xi remained silent.
"If you say so, then so be it."
Liu Ling became angry when she heard Nan Xi's words, "I knew it! You, a woman, have such a vicious mind!"
She glanced at the Heavenly Spirit Stone in her hand, then threw it aside. Light flashed in her hand again, and she sneered coldly, "If you are not honest, don't blame me for being rude!"
Nan Xi suddenly felt her hands itching.
She asked the system, "There is no such scene in the plot, so I don't have to pretend to be beaten this time, right?"
The system was silent, then said: [Yes.]
After hearing the system's reply, Nan Xi curled her lips, and when Liu Ling's attack came in front of her, she easily dodged it by leaning sideways.
Seeing the opponent's attack missed, his body staggered instantly.
For an alchemy cultivator, it is always difficult to have both elixir making and combat power. Liu Ling is no exception, not to mention that she is facing a sword cultivator. Comparing the two, even if their cultivation base is similar, their combat power can be said to be worlds apart.
Anyway, the tricks that Liu Ling is using now, Nan Xi had already used them when she was ten years old.
Nan Xi watched Liu Ling's movements with a relaxed smile on her face, and then casually dodged when the opponent attacked again.
This time Liu Ling used more force. Nan Xi held on to the man when he was about to fall, and then quickly stepped back.
After repeating this several times, Liu Ling finally realized that something was wrong.
She stood still, staring at Nan Xi, furious, "You, you are kidding me!"
Nan Xi blinked when she heard that, then shook her head and said innocently, "No, I'm fighting you seriously, don't talk nonsense."
When she said that, Liu Ling almost believed it again, but after taking a closer look, she asked angrily, "Then why haven't you drawn your sword yet?"
Nan Xi glanced at the sword hanging at her waist and couldn't help but smiled at Liu Ling.
"Oh, you found me."
It's not that Nan Xi doesn't respect her opponent, it's just that the gap in fighting power between her and Liu Ling is too great. This little girl is just a little bit spoiled and willful, but it's not to the point where Nan Xi wants to hit her.
But Liu Ling was still so angry that she started to take out the weapon from her storage bag. Nan Xi realized something was wrong and quickly took a step back.
The expression on his face changed quickly.
"I, I said that the Heavenly Spirit Stone was real. Not only did you not believe me, but you also hit me. Do people like me deserve to be bullied?"
Nan Xi said this calmly, and left quickly while Liu Ling was confused.
Finally, he left a message, "If you don't believe in my stuff, then why don't you go find it and give it to A-Qian yourself?"
Liu Ling looked at the people who left, fell into confusion, and then fell into deep thought.
He even turned back and wanted to pick up the Heavenly Spirit Stone back.
But when I looked at it, where did such a huge Heavenly Spirit Stone that was here just now go?
At the same time, Qi Zhao was holding the Heavenly Spirit Stone in deep thought. He looked at the Heavenly Spirit Stone for a while, and then asked Luo Tingyun, "I have never seen this thing before. Is it really precious?"
Luo Tingyun also looked at the Heavenly Spirit Stone and was in deep thought.
"Scarcity makes things valuable. This thing is indeed in short supply, but its practical value is not high either."
After all, if Nan Xi, who was in the Jindan stage, could get something, for a powerful person with higher cultivation, like Li Yunzheng, it would not be easy to get it, but it would not take much effort at all.
There is actually only one reason why there are so few of these things on the market, and that is that the value of this thing is not enough.
As for things to deal with inner demons, there are cheaper ones that are more suitable for the general public below, and there are more expensive things online that are more effective and can even directly eliminate inner demons.
Qi Qian's situation, however, is stuck in the middle. The things below are useless to him, and he cannot afford the things above.
The pill that uses Heavenly Spirit Stone as the main ingredient is the most suitable choice for him.
At this time, after the two had discussed the value of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, they had a new topic to discuss, "Should we give this thing to the female cultivator? This seems to be part of the plot."
Qi Zhao said innocently, "I thought she didn't want it anymore, so I picked it up and gave it back to Senior Sister. I didn't expect she suddenly wanted it again."
When Qi Zhao picked up the Heavenly Spirit Stone, Luo Tingyun also acquiesced. He thought about it.
"Just take it and see what happens in the end."
"OK."
The two of them hit it off and decided to keep the Heavenly Spirit Stone first. Even though it wasn't a top-tier treasure, it was still a treasure. It could fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at least at an auction house. It would be a bit of a pity to just give it to Qi Qian.
So, at this time, Nan Xi thought that her mission was successfully completed, and Liu Ling would finally bring the Heavenly Spirit Stone to find Qi Qian.
Liu Ling couldn't find the Heavenly Spirit Stone anywhere and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. It also didn't seem possible that the Tianyun Sword Sect had taken it away quietly, so she could only leave with full of doubts.
The plan to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Stone from Nan Xi seemed to be failing. Liu Ling could only scratch her head and wanted to find a Heavenly Spirit Stone to give to Qi Qian.
Who knew that before I could get the things, I heard new news when I returned to my temporary residence.
Her father, the only Tianpin Alchemist who could make Qi Qian's Alchemy Pill, said at this time: "We will leave Yuxu Sect in a few days."
When Liu Shang said this, Liu Ling was a little confused for a while. After he came to his senses, the first thing he thought of was not to leave Qi Qian, but if they left, who would be able to refine Qi Qian's elixir for him.
After she expressed her thoughts, Liu Shang just sighed slightly.
"Half a year is not a short time, but Qiqian has not yet found all the materials. Perhaps it is because of lack of fate."
Liu Shang said: "The inner demon won't kill anyone in a short time anyway, so it's okay to put it aside for now. I may come back to this Zuxu Sect in the future."
Liu Shang has been more fond of Liu Ling since they were young, and Liu Ling has always listened to her father. When she heard it now, she felt that there was some truth in it.
Then he asked, "Then Dad, where are we going after we leave Yuxu Sect?"
"Go to Tianyun Sword Sect." Liu Shang's eyes were burning. "The girl from the Mo family paid a high price to invite me to be a guest elder of Tianyun Sword Sect. Tianyun Sword Sect also said that they welcome my arrival."
As he spoke, Liu Shang sighed slightly, "The conditions offered by the Yuxu Sect are still a little worse than those of the Tianyun Sword Sect."
No one knows a father better than his daughter. As soon as Liu Ling saw Liu Shang's expression, she knew that there was probably a big difference between them.
She pondered for a moment and nodded decisively, "Who else can have a problem with Lingshi?"
Moreover, the fighting power of the cultivators of Tianyun Sword Sect is the strongest in the entire cultivation world. If you want any herbal materials in the future, you only need to issue tasks and let the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect do it.
In a word, it is absolutely worth it.
Neither the system nor Nan Xi had expected that Qi Qin's new admirer would actually abandon him and leave first.
So Nan Xi went to look for Qi Qian the next day. Of course, before leaving, she dressed herself up in a miserable appearance so that people would know at a glance that Nan Xi must have gone through an extremely hard struggle.
Qi Qian already knew that Liu Shang was leaving, and was feeling anxious. But when he saw Nan Xi, his eyes lit up for a rare moment.
But he still looked cold and aloof, and asked Nan Xi, "What are you doing here?"
Nan Xi took a moment to take a look at her own image. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were tattered, and her face was pale. After confirming that she could play the role of a crazy woman at any time, her expression immediately changed, and she showed very genuine grief on her face.
"A-Qian, I found the Heavenly Spirit Stone for you."
After she said this, Qi Qian's eyes suddenly gleamed with brilliance, but before he could say anything, Nan Xi continued in a sad voice, "But on the way here, a strange woman blocked my way and stole the Heavenly Spirit Stone."
"She, she said her name was Liu Ling, and she said I..."
Before Nan Xi finished speaking, Qi Qian's expression suddenly changed and he frowned, "Don't talk nonsense. How could Miss Liu steal your Heavenly Spirit Stone?"
It's not that he completely disbelieves it. The most important thing is that Liu Ling got the Heavenly Spirit Stone but didn't give it to him, which made him hard to believe.
Nan Xi sneered in her heart, but her expression remained flawless. Her tears immediately flowed down, and she looked heartbroken.
"A-Qian, you don't believe me? I have endured six months of suffering in the extremely dark land in order to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Stone. I have become like this now, and you still don't believe me?"
She stepped back, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Qi Zhao in the dark held down Luo Tingyun who was about to rush out, and said to him: "Calm down, Senior Sister is just acting."
Sure enough, Nan Xi’s voice was heard the next moment.
[Can I wipe my tears and snot on my clothes? ]
Although they knew that Nan Xi would definitely not be affected by this matter, Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun were both stunned when their thoughts came out.
Luo Tingyun squatted back silently and murmured softly, "But no matter what, he made Senior Sister cry."
Qi Zhao glanced at Luo Tingyun after hearing that. Actually, he did understand Luo Tingyun's feelings. But even though Nan Xi occupied an extremely important position in his heart, he would not feel anything more just because of such fake tears.
So I didn't say anything.
Qi Qian also fell silent. Only then did he see Nan Xi's current condition. He looked like a wolf, with little spiritual power in his body. He was in a very bad condition and looked like he was about to faint at any moment.
But he still said nothing. After a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I understand."
He still didn't believe it, but he knew in his heart that Nan Xi had no reason to lie to him. However, he didn't say anything about his concern. He just said, "Let's just forget about the matter of the Heavenly Spirit Stone. It's just a pill. I'll have a chance to use it in the future."
Although Qiqi's words are different from the plot, they are still able to make people angry to death.
In other words, Nan Xi didn't really put in much effort. If she had suffered in the extremely dark place for half a year and then heard Qi Qian say such words, seriously, Nan Xi would definitely want to tear Qi Qian's mouth apart.
After finishing his speech, Nan Xi was speechless.
After a short silence, Qi Qian gave Nan Xi a healing pill and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back to the sect and rest first."
Nan Xi was surprised that Qi Qian actually cared about the heroine, then she looked up and found that it was the most widely circulated and cheapest healing pill on the market.
I almost laughed out of anger.
But she didn't want to refuse it, so she accepted the healing pill and kept her head down when facing Qi Qian.
When I finally got the chance to carry Qi Qian, I couldn't help but grimace.
[This guy is really disgusting. 】
Nan Xi only regretted that there was no internet in the cultivation world, otherwise she would have to edit a lot of text and expose Qi Mi's behavior to the whole cultivation world.
Little did she know that after she left, Qi Qian's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
It's not that he didn't believe that Nan Xi didn't get the Heavenly Spirit Stone. It was precisely because of this belief and Nan Xi's words just now that he had many thoughts in his mind.
In the past, Qi Qian would have chosen to remain silent, but as things were urgent, he went to find Liu Ling immediately.
When Liu Ling saw Qi Qian coming to see her, she was very excited. Her face flushed slightly, and she looked at Qi Qian tenderly. She asked in a sweet voice, "Brother Qi, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qi Qian hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I heard that you stole Nan Xi's Heavenly Spirit Stone?"
Unexpectedly, Qi Qian came for this matter. Liu Ling was slightly surprised and her mood was instantly ruined by 80%. But after a while, she raised her head and said, "I stole it, so what?"
Qi Qian didn't expect that he could find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Spirit Stone so easily, but after confirming it, a surge of anger rose in his heart.
He asked angrily, "Where is the Heavenly Spirit Stone now?"
When asked about this, Liu Ling felt guilty for a moment. She said, "I don't know. It disappeared in the blink of an eye."
As Liu Ling finished her words, Qi Qian's heart sank and he almost couldn't suppress his anger, and a sense of pressure emanated from his body.
"You don't know? Don't you know how important that thing is to me?"
"You did such a despicable thing as stealing, and you wasted it so much, you..."
Seeing the tears overflowing from Liu Ling's eyes, Qi Qian realized belatedly that he had spoken too harshly. He paused for a moment, knowing that he could not offend Liu Ling now, and was thinking of words to make amends.
Who knew that the next moment Liu Ling would yell at him, "You said I was mean? I stole the Heavenly Spirit Stone just to give it to you, did you think I wanted to lose it? You didn't do anything, yet you still called me mean, Qiqian, you have no shame!"
After saying this, he turned around and ran away crying.
Qi Qian stood there in a daze.
In fact, if he chased after her and apologized sincerely, his relationship with Liu Ling might be salvaged, but he was used to being flattered by Nan Xi and was used to being proud.
Even though he knew in his heart that Liu Ling was not like Nan Xi, and that she would not forgive him no matter what he did, Qi Qian still did not humble himself and chased after Liu Ling.
Before a day had passed, only an hour had passed when Liu Shang came to Qi Qian to seek an explanation.
Although he is an alchemy cultivator, he is also a genuine fusion stage cultivator. His pressure can also make a Yuanying stage cultivator unable to straighten his back.
Liu Shang's face was filled with anger. He looked at Qi Qian coldly and said, "In the past, my Ling'er treated you well. She followed you all day and thought about you everywhere. I turned a blind eye to it because I thought you had some sense."
"But today, you went too far."
Qi Qian stood there, being accused, unable to say a word.
The words of apology were stuck in his throat for a long time, but when Liu Shang left, he finally didn't say them out.
That day, Liu Shang advanced his schedule and took Liu Ling to Tianyun Sword Sect without even saying hello.
And Qi Qian also forever lost the connection with Liu Shang, a top-grade alchemist.
All of this was noticed by the system when the plot fluctuated. If it were in the past, it would have put things back on track, but now is different, the mission is not important at all.
First of all, we have to save its life.
Although Li Yunzheng was far away in the Tianyun Sword Sect, he had a clear view of the situation here through the system and was quite satisfied with the current situation.
At this point, everything seemed fine, but then the system sensed a data fluctuation and when I checked, I was immediately surprised.
[I didn't interfere, how come the luck value is back...]
It shut up belatedly, looking at the luck value in front of it which had become 20%. Before it could fall into deep thought, Li Yunzheng interrupted from the side.
"Luck value, what is that?"
