He is angry, why?
This shop is a spirit pet shop, the only shop selling spirit pets at the foot of the mountain. The decoration inside the shop is very primitive, with grass on the ground, and trees rising from the ground in the house, breaking through the round hole in the roof and rising into the sky.
The sunlight shone through the round hole onto the grass. Vines were intertwined on the trees, and parrots and pearl birds were standing on them and flying around. "Someone is coming, someone is coming." A yellow and red parrot flapped its wings and called out.
Soon the shopkeeper came out and asked, "Sir, what kind of pet do you want?"
Seeing Bai Linchuan looking around, he introduced the surroundings expertly, "We have a wide variety of spiritual beasts here. There are those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. There's nothing you can't imagine. How about I take you for a tour first?"
"Yeah." Bai Linchuan nodded lightly.
The shopkeeper took a look at his attire and aura, then took him directly to the second floor. "Here are some beasts, they can assist in combat, but of course, they tend to be a bit fierce."
A winged tiger opened its bloody mouth and roared at Bai Linchuan. There were still blood residues of food stuck on its thick teeth, which sprayed towards him through the fence.
The shopkeeper shook hands alternately and smiled awkwardly.
Bai Linchuan glanced at it, stretched out his hand and waved it, using the spiritual light as a shield to directly block the residue.
Linghu immediately put out the fire, blinked twice dully, and licked the saliva on his face with his tongue.
The shopkeeper was delighted. "I didn't expect you to have such great skills. As you can see, this tiger has a very bad temper. It requires someone with exceptional strength to tame it. In the past year, few people have been able to tame it. I didn't expect you to be able to tame it with just a stretch of your hand."
He swallowed his saliva and continued to sell without stopping: "How about I give you a 20% discount?"
Bai Linchuan shook his head.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "It can't be any less. It's eaten a lot of my food over the years. I'm already losing money."
Bai Linchuan explained: "Don't want it."
Hu Zi lay down and licked his paws.
The shopkeeper laughed, "Here, there are others."
"What about this one?"
In front of Bai Linchuan was a lazy and boundless spirit deer, its white antlers glowing with spirit. It was taking a nap in a tree, and when it saw people coming, it didn't even lift its eyelids.
I have to say that the store treats the spirit beasts very well and arranges the environment to their liking. Spirit beasts are creatures with a certain degree of intelligence. If things go wrong, they are very likely to refuse to eat, get sick, or even break the cage and hurt people.
Bai Linchuan shook his head.
The shopkeeper was in a dilemma. This shouldn't be the case. He had run this shop for years and was an expert at judging people. This spirit deer was a perfect match for the other party. He suddenly slapped his head and said, "Excuse me, sir, are you choosing for your Taoist partner?"
"No." Bai Linchuan replied.
"Oh, don't worry." The shopkeeper clapped his hands and looked at Bai Linchuan with a shrewd look: "I guarantee you'll get it delivered."
This gift cannot be something too practical, so he took Bai Linchuan to the third floor, where there were many beautiful things that were shockingly expensive but of no use.
As expected, before he finished turning a circle, Bai Linchuan made eye contact with a spirit beast.
That's a weasel.
There are two round ears on its small face, a square head, a reddish-brown nose, a few wisps of white whiskers extending on the side, black and bright black gemstone-like eyes, and its front legs are retracted when it stands. Its body is long and its hair is as white as snow.
The black bean-sized eyes looked up at Bai Linchuan.
"That's it."
The butler stepped forward with a smile, "Okay, that's a total of one thousand spirit stones. Goodbye, sir."
Bai Linchuan handed over the money and the goods without blinking, and left with the spirit weasel in his arms.
The next step is to let Mo Xie recognize this beast.
In the night, a white figure flashed through the dark woods, and the weasel's nimble body jumped back and forth, like an elf in the moonlight playing.
Mo Xue got up at night and passed by, and was startled by the little guy who suddenly came out. "Where did this big white rat come from?" He muttered with squinting eyes. After finishing his business, he went back to the house and fell into a deep sleep.
A glimpse of white clothes appeared behind the tree, and the weasel jumped to his side. A soft sigh came from behind the tree: "Let's go."
Yesterday, Mo Xue and Wei Si went to Xuanzhu Hall too late. Most of the remaining tasks were thankless or extremely difficult. Today, they deliberately got up early and went there again before practicing.
Inside the Xuanzhu Hall, a stone wall hangs down from the sky, with jade slips displayed on it stretching down to an unknown end.
Wei Si said, "It costs between one and fifty spirit stones to kill a monster. The harder the monster, the higher the reward."
"After all, it's easier to die." Mo Xie said suddenly.
"Look, there's actually a mission to the demon world here, one hundred spirit stones!"
"I haven't lived long enough. It's time to practice." Mo Xue turned around and was about to leave.
Wei Si looked at the mission jade slip, then glanced at Mo Xue beside him, "Why are you back again?"
Mo Xue didn't answer, but just turned his head to look to the other side.
Wei Si leaned back and looked in the direction of sight, and found that it was Bai Linchuan who came.
"What's that on his shoulder?" Mo Xue asked.
"His spirit beast, it really suits him." Wei Si said.
Mo Xie's eyes rolled and he stepped forward, "Big Brother, where did you buy this spirit beast?"
Bai Linchuan was stunned. He looked at the weasel lying on his shoulder and asked, "Do you like it?"
"How dare I like Senior Brother's things?" Mo Xue said timidly, but his brows were very frivolous, and his eyes seemed to be glued to it.
"Wei Si, let's go." Mo Xue turned around and called Wei Si to leave together.
Bai Linchuan frowned slightly, watching Mo Xu's figure disappear outside the hall, and gradually formed a guess in his mind.
Before leaving, he picked up the top jade slip and handed it to the elder for registration.
"Are you alone? The monsters on this mission are not simple. They specialize in capturing young and beautiful women to absorb their energy. Their whereabouts are elusive and they are extremely skilled at escaping. Why don't you find a female cultivator to accompany you in the capture?"
Bai Linchuan thought for a moment and took the jade slip.
In the study hall, the master was explaining the second volume as promised.
"Now I know that you are more focused on improving your cultivation, and less interested in the myriad uses of spiritual energy. I think back to a thousand years ago, there was a stone monkey who learned seventy-two transformations. He used his hair as a guide to transform into various forms.
This is the purpose of spiritual energy.
The so-called gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all things in the world, from the clouds in the sky to the rocks in Zhuhai, are all transformed from these five kinds of primordial energy, which is also the origin of our spiritual energy."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a strand of his beard. He pointed with his spiritual energy, a white light flashed, and a stone suddenly appeared in his hand.
The disciples below were all shocked and their eyes widened.
The master's beard curled slightly. "This is the simplest transformation of spiritual energy. It's nothing surprising. As your cultivation becomes more advanced, the things you transform into will become more divine, even living things. However, the stronger the life characteristics of an object, the stronger its desire to destroy itself after it suffers damage."
He said as he crushed the stone. "It is no big deal for me to crush a stone, because the stone is dead. I just lost a beard."
He loosened his grip, and the stone and sand fell to the ground. He pulled out another beard, which turned into a blade of grass, and then he broke it off.
"But if I turn into a blade of grass like me, a weak living creature like me, my body will feel slightly strange after being damaged, just like..." As he spoke, his nose felt itchy, his brows furrowed, and his mouth opened wide.
"Ah, ah, achilles!"
The disciples burst into laughter.
The master repairman rubbed his nose and said, "You know what I mean, so you should use it with caution... Now, you can try it yourself..."
"Master, what should we do if we don't have beards?"
The Grand Master tapped the man on the head with the scroll and said, "Anything physical will do. Try it with the lightest thing you have."
Bai Linchuan cut off a strand of hair, and his disciples followed suit, pulling out strands of hair in an attempt to transform themselves into stone monkeys.
There were only five people in the hall who were able to successfully turn into stone at once, and only one person was able to successfully turn into grass.
After three or five attempts, Wei Si excitedly shook Mo Xie and said, "I succeeded. Look, Mo Xie."
The chief repairman walked over and nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Mo Xue again. More and more people succeeded. Mo Xue pulled out one hair after another, but the hair was still hair, and only a few hairs could be seen on the table.
The master sighed softly. Even for the smallest technique, the difference in talent was already predetermined.
But he said, "Don't be discouraged. Practice diligently and you will succeed. The reason why I emphasize the physical things is because although the transformed things change, they are still the original owner's things and will be inextricably linked to you. Even more..."
Suddenly someone in front exclaimed.
Bai Linchuan's mind moved, and a ball of white light gathered in his hand. The shape slowly gathered, and two black beans could be vaguely seen.
As the master repairman walked by, Bai Linchuan moved his hand and a ball of snow appeared in the center of his palm.
"Wow, Senior Brother actually created a ball of snow, and it's summer!" The disciples all raised their heads to look at Bai Linchuan.
Mo Xue was no exception. He looked at the ball of snow in Bai Linchuan's palm in disbelief. The snow on top quickly melted when it came into contact with the hot air, and the water dripped down his icy fingers.
The master repairman nodded in admiration, stroked his beard, and glanced at the hourglass at the bottom, "Next..."
After finishing training, Bai Linchuan went down the mountain to carry out a mission, but on the way down the mountain, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a dark figure.
He flew past quickly with the sword in hand, his flight was chaotic. First he made a 180-degree turn, his body hanging upside down in the air, then he rushed straight down, and when he was about to hit the top of the mountain, he suddenly rushed up at the limit.
The wind was roaring and whistling behind him, his hair flying, revealing his heroic eyebrows. His pupils were slightly narrowed, his eyes were calm and full of hostility.
Mo Xue flew up and down the mountain with his sword, then he put away the sword and returned to the mountain.
"What you asked for." Qi Sanjiang happily took the candy bag and looked at Mo Xue's sword. "You really got the magic sword."
Mo Xue squatted down and said, "What's the use of getting the magic sword? In my hands, it's just a useless broken sword."
Qi Sanjiang heard the disappointment in his words and said sympathetically, "Oh, why think so much? Those people must be jealous of you."
Mo Xue twisted his mouth and let out a breath.
Qi Sanjiang handed him a piece of saccharin.
Mo Xue threw it into his mouth and it was quite sweet. He kind of understood why Qi Sanjiang loved this thing so much, but his eyes became more and more bitter.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind the door. Qi Sanjiang was as if he was facing a great enemy and said, "Oh no! My mother is here! Hurry up and leave!"
Mo Xue instantly became more nervous than him, picked up his sword and left.
Qi Sanjiang lived in a house. As soon as he climbed over the wall swiftly, the door behind him was broken open.
There were two heavy axes stuck behind Elder Qi Yun, with bloodstains on them.
Qi Sanjiang swallowed his saliva and smiled: "Mom, you're back. Did you catch the monster smoothly?"
Elder Qi Yun said nothing, just stared at him.
Qi Sanjiang looked away and said, "I didn't do anything."
Elder Qi Yun bent down, with the sharp axe blade facing his face. Qi Sanjiang was so scared that he didn't move. She stretched out her hand and wiped Qi Sanjiang's mouth heavily.
"Son, wipe your mouth clean next time you lie."
Qi Sanjiang fell to his knees and hugged her thighs: "Mom, I was wrong."
He looked outside the wall, hoping that Mo Xue had run far away.
Elder Qi Yun pulled him away and jumped out of the yard, "Who sold it? Get out!"
How could Mo Xie dare to stand up? He slipped away faster than a rabbit.
Behind the yard was a forest, which was almost dark now, with only a faint hint of white on the horizon.
Mo Xue had not run far yet, and his body was pressed tightly against a tree.
He held his breath and dared not move for fear of being discovered. However, the forest was so small, and the crunching sound of leaves under his feet was getting closer and closer.
"one two three……"
Mo Xue slowly closed his eyes.
"Elder Qiyun."
At this moment, Bai Linchuan suddenly stood up and said to her.
Elder Qi Yun held the giant axe and asked, "Why are you here?"
Bai Linchuan said, "My spirit beast is lost, and I came here to look for it."
Elder Qi Yun asked, "You went down the mountain today."
Bai Linchuan nodded lightly, "Yes, let's go down the mountain to eliminate the monster." As he said that, he presented the jade slip.
Elder Qi Yun nodded lightly, glanced behind him, then glanced at Bai Linchuan, then picked up his axe and left.
After she left, Mo Xie breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked around Bai Linchuan.
"You shouldn't have given Qi Sanjiang anything." Bai Linchuan's cold voice came with the wind.
Mo Xue paused, he turned around, the moonlight shining through the leaves cast mottled shadows on his face, his expression dark and unclear. He looked at Bai Linchuan deeply, then turned and left.
Bai Linchuan continued, "He has been weak since childhood, and his dantian is much smaller than that of ordinary people. He also took too many elixirs and secret medicines when he was young, and his body can no longer bear it. He must control his food intake. You are harming him by doing this..."
Mo Xiu shrugged his shoulders, and Bai Linchuan suddenly shut his mouth, but he quickly turned around.
He is laughing.
He held his stomach and laughed uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. He rubbed his eyes and said, "It's as if he can survive without candy."
He walked forward, smiling, but his eyes were cold. "Besides, why should you worry? Even if he's dead, Elder Qiyun will bury him. He asked for the candy, and I didn't force him. This is a voluntary transaction between both parties."
Bai Linchuan looked at him, his brows furrowed as he spoke nonsense and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Mo Xie smiled and said, "Spirit stones, you need them to survive, and to get them you have to kill monsters to earn money. But I'm a half-crippled cultivator, what a joke. What's more, I'm also risking my life to earn money. Aren't I just living? Or is it that Senior Brother thinks that only people like you do noble things for world peace, while people like me do lowly and disgusting things, not worth mentioning, and it's disgusting to even talk about it."
Bai Linchuan remained silent for a long time. The moonlight formed a thick layer of frost on his body. His brows were slightly furrowed, a trace of puzzled doubt hanging on his eyebrows. He looked at Mo Xue and said, "Excalibur, how much do you want?"
Mo Xue stepped forward, his eyes dark as an endless abyss. He stared directly into the frost in Bai Linchuan's eyes without a trace of humility or evasion. The corners of his mouth raised, and he spat out two words through gritted teeth:
"It's too late."
He took a step back, tilted his head, and his eyes lit up. "I won't sell it."
