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 becoming 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 smile 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.
而柳靈四處找不到天靈石,怎麽想都想不通,也不可能是天雲劍宗悄無聲息拿走的,只能抱着滿心疑慮離開。
從南曦這裏獲取天靈石的計劃似乎要破産了,柳靈只能抓耳撓腮,想要自己找一個天靈石贈與齊遷。
誰知東西還沒拿到,一回此時暫居的居所,便聽到了新的消息。
她那個此時唯一能給齊遷煉丹的天品丹師爹爹,此時說:“我們過幾日便要離開禦虛宗。”
柳尚說出這麽一句話的時候,柳靈稍微懵了一會,反應過來之後第一個想到的不是要離開齊遷,而是他們離開了,那齊遷的丹藥誰能給他煉。
她的想法說出來之後,柳尚只是微嘆了一口氣。
“半年時間已然不短,但齊遷還未将材料尋全,或許便是緣分不夠。”
柳尚說:“反正心魔一時半會也死不了人,暫時擱置也行,這禦虛宗,我日後或許還會回來。”
柳尚從小就對柳靈比較寵,而柳靈也一向聽爹爹的話,此時一聽,便覺得又有些道理。
随後又問:“那爹爹,咱們離開禦虛宗,之後要去哪啊?”
“去天雲劍宗。”柳尚目光灼灼,“墨家的小姑娘出高價請我去當天雲劍宗的客卿長老,天雲劍宗也說歡迎我的到來。”
說着,柳尚稍微嘆了口氣,“這禦虛宗給出的條件,比起天雲劍宗還是差了一點。”
知父莫若女,柳靈一看柳尚的表情就知道,差的恐怕不是一點。
她稍微沉思了一點,斷然點頭,“還有誰能和靈石過不去呢?”
而且天雲劍宗的修士戰鬥力可是全修真界最強,日後想要什麽草藥材料,只用發布任務讓天雲劍宗弟子去做就行了。
總而言之就是,絕對不虧。
無論是系統還是南曦都沒想到,齊遷新的愛慕者居然已經先一步抛棄他離開。
所以南曦在第二日前去尋找齊遷,當然,去之前還是将自己打扮成一副凄慘模樣,讓人一看就知道南曦一定經過極為艱苦的奮鬥。
齊遷此時已經知道柳尚要走的消息,正是焦急的時候,看到南曦時,難得的眼前一亮。
但面上還是冷清孤傲的樣子,問南曦:“你來作何?”
南曦抽空打量了一下自己的形象,發絲散亂,衣衫破舊,臉色灰敗,确定自己随時都能扮演瘋婆子之後,當即面色一變,臉上露出極為真切的悲痛。
“阿遷,我為你尋了天靈石來。”
她這句話落下,齊遷的眼中頓時華光一閃,但還未等他說出什麽話,南曦繼續聲聲悲切,“但來時被一陌生女子攔住了去路,搶走了天靈石。”
“她,她說她叫柳靈,說我……”
南曦的話沒有說完,齊遷臉色頓時就是一變,狠狠皺眉,“你不要胡說八道,柳姑娘怎麽會搶你的天靈石。”
也不是全然不信,最重要的就是,柳靈拿到天靈石,也不送給他,這讓他不敢相信。
南曦心中冷笑一聲,面上的表情卻依舊天衣無縫,她的淚水當即就流了下來,一副痛徹心扉的樣子。
“阿遷,你不信我?我為了取天靈石,在極陰之地苦熬半年之久,變成如今這樣,你還不信我?”
她一步步後退,淚水不間斷地流下來。
也就在此時,暗處地祁诏按住了想要沖出去地洛停雲,對他說:“你冷靜,師姐這是在演戲呢。”
果不其然,下一刻就傳來南曦的心聲。
【我可不可以把眼淚鼻涕擦在齊遷的衣服上?】
雖然知道南曦絕對不會被這件事影響,但心聲出來的時候,祁诏和洛停雲還是一同漠了一下。
洛停雲默默蹲回去,輕聲呢喃,“但不管怎麽說,他讓師姐流淚了。”
祁诏聞言,看了洛停雲一眼,其實也不是完全不理解洛停雲的感情,但哪怕南曦在他心底也占有極為重要的位置,他也不會因為這樣虛假的眼淚就有什麽更多的感覺。
于是也沒有說話。
齊遷也沉默了,他這才看到南曦現在的情況,形容狼狽,身上靈力虛浮,狀态極差,一副随時就要暈倒的慘狀。
但他還是什麽都沒說,過了一會,才聲音微啞的開口,“我知曉了。”
他還是不信,可心中又知道,南曦沒有騙他的道理,但他同時也沒有說出什麽關心的話,只說:“天靈石之事,便就這樣算了,不過一個丹藥,日後還有機會用上。”
雖然齊遷的話和劇情中有所不同了,但同樣的還是能将人氣死的發言。
也就是南曦沒有真正付出多少心力,要是她在極陰之地受了半年苦出來,然後又聽到齊遷說出這麽一番話,不開玩笑,南曦絕對會想要将齊遷的嘴撕爛。
臺詞也說完了,南曦當即只剩無語。
稍微沉默一會,齊遷給了南曦一粒療傷丹,說:“辛苦你了,你先回宗休息。”
南曦正驚訝齊遷居然會關心女主,然後擡眼一看,發現是市面上流通最多,也最廉價的療傷丹。
差點被氣笑。
但不要白不要,她将療傷丹收下,面對齊遷的時候一直低着頭。
等終于又機會背過齊遷的時候,便沒忍住龇牙咧嘴。
【真的是好惡心一男的。】
南曦只恨修真界沒有網絡,不然她高低得好好編輯一通文案,全修真界曝光齊遷的行徑。
殊不知,等她離開之後,齊遷的面色瞬間變得極為陰沉。
他不是不信南曦沒有拿到天靈石,正因為信,還有南曦方才那番說辭,讓他心中産生了許多想法。
若是以前,齊遷會選擇按兵不動,但此時事情緊急,他當即就去找了柳靈。
柳靈看到齊遷過來找她的時候還很是興奮,面色微紅,眸光柔情似水地看着齊遷,甜着嗓音問:“齊哥哥找我有什麽事嗎?”
齊遷稍稍沉吟一下才說的話,“聽聞,你搶了南曦的天靈石?”
沒想到齊遷是為這件事而來,柳靈面上有一絲錯愕,心情也瞬間被敗壞了百分之八十,但過了一會,她還是昂起頭說:“就是我搶的怎麽了?”
齊遷沒想到這麽容易就問出了天靈石的下落,但确定之後,心中又湧起一陣怒意。
他忍者怒意問:“那現在天靈石在哪?”
被問起這個,柳靈也有一瞬的心虛,她說:“不知道,轉眼的時間就不見了。”
随着柳靈的話音落下,齊遷心中一沉,差點壓抑不住怒氣,身上的威壓也隐隐發散出來。
“你不知道?難道你不知道那東西對我的重要?”
“你做出偷搶這樣下作的事,還如此浪費,你……”
看着柳靈眼中溢出的淚水,齊遷才後知後覺發現自己說話重了,話語一頓,心知自己現在不能得罪柳靈,正想着補救的話。
誰知下一刻柳靈便對他大喊,“你說我下作?我搶天靈石還不是想要給你,你以為我想讓它丢了嗎?你什麽都沒做,居然還罵我下作,齊遷,你無恥!”
說完當即轉身,哭着跑了。
齊遷怔愣在原地。
其實他現在如果追上去,好生道歉,他和柳靈的關系也不是無法補救,但他被南曦捧慣了,也驕傲慣了。
哪怕心中知道柳靈不像南曦,不像南曦那樣不管他做出什麽都會原諒他,但齊遷依舊沒有放下身段,追着柳靈前去。
還不等一天過去,只用了一小時,柳尚便來找齊遷讨要說法了。
他雖是丹修,但也是實打實的合體期修士,威壓掃下來,同樣能讓元嬰期修士直不起腰。
柳尚面上全是怒意,冷冷看着齊遷,說:“以往我家靈兒對你好,整天跟在你身邊,處處想着你,我睜一只眼閉一只眼,是看你還算有分寸。”
“但今日一遭,你做的過分了。”
齊遷站在原地,被指責,一句話都不能多言。
道歉的話卡在喉間許久,但在柳尚離去的時候,也終究沒有說出來。
也就是當天,柳尚行程提前,招呼都沒打一句,就帶着柳靈前去了天雲劍宗。
而齊遷,也永遠的失去了柳尚這個天品丹師的人脈。
這一切在劇情有波動的時候都被系統看在了眼裏,要是以前,它怎麽也得将事情掰回正軌,但今時不同往日,任務什麽的根本不重要。
首先要保住它這條小命。
李雲筝雖然遠在天雲劍宗,但通過系統也将這邊的情況看了個清楚,對現在的情況也頗感滿意。
到了這裏,本也沒什麽事了,結果系統感受到數據波動,一去查看,當即驚訝。
【我沒有插手,氣運值怎麽還……】
它後知後覺地閉嘴,看着眼前已經變成20%的氣運值,還未來得及陷入沉思,李雲筝的話便從旁邊插了過來。
“氣運值,那是什麽?”
