Chapter 29: He doesn't care about his best friend at all
Although the prince changed his expression quickly, Chi Yu still managed to get a private lesson.
Sometimes I have to admire Long Aotian's luck. The first time, Ling Hezhou gave him guidance on how to start practicing. Now when he changes to another place, there is still someone to give him guidance on the techniques.
After all, this is Long Aotian!
Under his domineering aura, those who have a good impression of him automatically become his helpers.
Chi Yu happily went to the market at the foot of the mountain and bought a mid-grade spiritual sword. His cultivation was very low, and he didn't understand many of the insights and tricks in cultivation, so he couldn't practice any natal spiritual sword. Therefore, he could only put the spiritual sword into the Sumeru Ring.
I set aside one hour every day to practice sword.
Xie Xiyi commented indifferently, "It takes at least a hundred years to master the skill."
What swordsman doesn't practice from morning till night? He only spends an hour a day practicing, what can he achieve with that?
Chi Yu replied confidently, "It's already pretty good. I only practice for three hours a day."
It’s not that he is not diligent, but he has to leave some time for the forbidden spell to be activated.
He remembered that the villain had said that the forbidden spell seemed to have a time limit, but when he opened his mouth and looked at the forbidden spell on the root of his tongue, he didn't see it. It was obviously not visible normally, and he didn't know if it still had any effect.
The villain said there was a forbidden spell that would cause death, but he had never triggered it and didn't know what the conditions were for triggering it.
However, based on his limited understanding of the villain, he knew that this person had a bad taste and was very mean. He might even be trying to intimidate him - this possibility was quite high.
So let’s not consider this for now.
One should be free from attachment and let nature take its course!!
Xie Xiyi was once again amazed that Chi Yu could have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. For such a lazy idiot to have reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of seventeen was truly extraordinary. He warned Chi Yu, "If anyone asks you how long you practice a day, always answer eight or nine hours. Never say an hour and a half."
Chi Yu subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Why? Don't you understand?" Xie Xiyi smiled at him, a bit menacingly. "You only practice for an hour and a half a day, yet you were able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of seventeen. This shows that you've used a lot of natural resources to infuse your body and force your growth. Someone with more malicious intentions could easily dismantle you and use it to refine pills, absorbing the remaining medicinal power in your flesh and blood."
Finally, seeing his expression change slightly, Xie Xiyi's golden eyes flickered, flowing with a joyful mood like honey. "Like the cultivator behind your house, he looks pure and calm, but in fact, he is more obsessed with cultivation and advancement than anyone else. You should be careful not to reveal the fact that your spiritual roots are not good and your cultivation time is short in front of him, otherwise he will dismantle your alchemy one day."
Chi Yu's heart was pounding. "No way, there's no such thing. I've never heard of it."
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are many dirty things among the monks. It's okay if you don't believe it."
Chi Yucheng was frightened by Xie Xiyi, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Your tone is just like the aunts and uncles telling a child that your parents don't want you anymore. You should be more concerned about yourself than me! You're a peerless genius who's already achieved the Golden Core stage before the age of 20. It's better to capture you to refine the Human Pill than to capture me to refine the Human Pill."
Xie Xiyi paused, narrowed his golden eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "That makes sense."
Chi Yu: "..."
Makes sense? Does he really think so?
Chi Yu felt a chill. There was no such thing written in "Shen Tu". Even if the demon cultivators massacred the city, it was most likely to refine the Blood Prison Pill. This thing was a magic tool for cultivation and could not be taken orally.
Xie Xiyi glanced at him, then pulled out a book on the method of concealing your breathing from his sleeve and tossed it to Chi Yu. "This method can hide the traces of your breathing. You must be on guard against others. Don't tell others how long you've been cultivating your spiritual roots."
Chi Yu was a little surprised: "I haven't even asked you for it yet--"
Before he could finish his words, Xie Xiyi put away the technique again, "It's gone now."
Chi Yu: "!!"
My financial sponsor! Tonic!
Chi Yu hugged his shoulders and said, "Brother Xuanji, please give it to me, please give it to me. I know you are the best for me. It's really strange. Let's be like Boya and Ziqi, who found their soulmates in the mountains and rivers, and were born to be close friends."
Xie Xiyi frowned slightly and threw the martial arts manual away as if he couldn't stand it anymore. "Alright, shut up and stop saying such disgusting things."
Chi Yu knew that he would fall for it and couldn't help laughing in his heart. In fact, the prince was very easy to understand.
He took the technique, flipped through it casually, and found that it was much simpler this time. He could understand it, so he thanked him readily.
He has already gotten a lot of benefits from the prince, but he can't take advantage of him anymore. He hasn't figured out what gift to give in return, which is really a headache.
After returning home, he remembered that he still had the system panel, so he tentatively made a wish for the guitar in his house. After making the wish, he punched the system, and punched the panel again until snowflakes appeared on the screen, flickering.
Chi Yu is not worried about breaking it. The system is just like an old TV. It can be used after a few bangs.jpg
After beating it and waiting for a while, the system finally spit out something. This time it spit out a pack of pure cotton underwear that he had just bought and had not opened.
Chi Yu: "..."
No, what use do I have for you! ! ! !
Even though it's unopened, I can't give it away! The prince is twice as big as him, so he can't wear it even if I give it to him!
Waste system!
Chi Yu had no choice but to use the new underwear himself and stop fiddling with the broken system. He went to the market and bought a Lingbao Guqin for the prince as a return gift.
He didn't go to deliver it himself, but asked Xiaoqiu to deliver it to him.
Xiaoqiu wanted to say that it was useless and His Highness would not accept it, but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips. If His Highness accepted it, the broken guqin could be retired quickly, which might be a good thing.
He excitedly carried the guqin to Xie Xiyi, and before he could speak, he said, "This is the guqin that Brother Aotian gave you. It's a mid-grade spiritual treasure, so it must be expensive."
Xie Xiyi stretched out his hand and plucked the guqin a few times. Although he did not use his spiritual power, the sound waves still turned into sharp blades and flew out, cutting a deep mark in the pillar of the hall.
The little ball cried out in a very ignorant way: "What a good thing! If you don't want it, Your Highness, please give it to me. I don't have any magic weapon to attack yet."
Xie Xiyi asked in return: "Do you understand music?"
The ball got stuck and said ashamedly: "I have learned a little bit."
Xie Xiyi said, "Then don't embarrass yourself."
Although he looked down upon the guqin, he still accepted it.
Even if you don't want it, you can't give it to Xiaoqiu.
He took out a few top-grade spirit stones and threw them to him: "If you like it, go buy it. How can I be short of you?"
The young player quickly took it and laughed, "It's different. It's meaningful because it's a gift from Brother Aotian."
Xie Xiyi glanced at him with his golden eyes, wanting to scold him, but swallowed the words back and just said, "You little dog."
Xiaoqiu smiled foolishly, "Your Highness, whatever you say is what it is. But Your Highness, you have been very close to Brother Aotian recently."
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "Are you free? Go out."
Xiaoqiu: “Oh——”
This is because of anger and shame.
*
A few days later, Chi Yu and Xie Xiyi submitted an application to form a team and received a jade token. They were assigned to Group D.
Chi Yu asked Xie Xiyi, "How can he form a team if the ball hasn't even made it to the Zhengxin Platform?"
Xie Xiyi replied calmly: "It doesn't matter."
Chi Yu understood that this meant that he was allowed to seek external help.
As expected, Zhiguan teamed up with Alsophila cyathea and Qiye, and they also recruited an external aid at the Jindan realm.
Alsophila and Qiye had a lot of work to do, and they hadn't found anything to replace the refined gold yet. Chi Yu didn't care, but instead asked for the two refined jade tokens, gave one to Senior Brother Xuanji, and showed him how to use it.
"There will be a chat room here that can store a month's worth of chats. If I have any questions about my cultivation, I can ask you, Senior Brother Xuanji!"
Xie Xiyi smiled, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "If you are sincere, why not just accept me as your master? I will do my best to teach you."
Although they were both studying Zen, they were not brothers from the same sect. What obligation did he have to teach him?
Chi Yu also smiled, "No need to worship Master, the eldest brother is like a father, if you don't mind, I can call you Dad."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He was so shocked that he could hardly maintain his elegant expression. "What did you say?"
Chi Yu said indifferently: "I say, if you don't mind, I can call you dad, dad——"
Xie Xiyi reached out and covered Chi Yu's mouth with his hand. His golden eyes shone with a captivating light. He whispered, "Are you crazy? How could I have a son as old as you? If you keep talking nonsense, you won't have this mouth anymore."
Chi Yu laughed, thinking it was quite amusing to tease the prince. Didn't the prince also like to tease and scare him? This time he got scared too. What a turn of events.
After Xie Xiyi was sure that he would not talk nonsense again, he loosened his hand and took the jade token. "I accept this thing, you can go away."
Chi Yu exhaled and sniffed, only to feel the fragrance left on his hand, elegant and rich. After his hand left, the air was also filled with fragrance. He couldn't help but say, "Brother Xuanji, what kind of spices did you use? You smell so good."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
Xie Xiyi said expressionlessly: "Get out!"
Chi Yu looked at his expression, but couldn't see anything, so he said, "Okay, I'm out."
When he reached the door, he turned his head again, and said with a more cunning smile: "Brother Xuanji, is the fragrance on your body body odor?"
With a "bang", a piece of tea cake hit him. Chi Yu dodged backwards and the tea cake hit the vermilion palace door and fell to the ground, rolling in a circle. Chi Yu bent down to pick up the tea cake, patted the dust off it, and said, "This tea cake is dirty. Brother Xuanji, I'm sure you won't drink it. I'll take it away and drink it. Thank you, Brother."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Xiyi's reaction, he turned around and slipped away swiftly.
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He wondered again - how did he end up in the same boat with this vulgar dragon?
Why is this?
*
Qingxuan came to see Chiyu again.
Chi Yu originally had no thoughts about Senior Brother Qingxuan, but the prince was right, one should always be on guard against others.
The reason why he was able to look at the prince differently at the beginning was because he was the Buddhist disciple who would defect in the future, and he was accompanied by a little child.
As I said, the fact that he can bring a child with him and the child does not show any fear or fear towards him can explain a lot of things. At least this person is definitely not a bad person.
That's why he was so relaxed with the prince.
Although Chi Yu always smiles at everyone, there is a subtle sense of alienation beneath this infinite friendliness.
This is his way of dealing with things. He smiles at everyone and at least doesn't cause unnecessary hatred.
Therefore, when Qingxuan came, although he was a little wary in his heart, he still responded with a smile on his face.
He made tea for Qingxuan and asked him, "Brother Qingxuan, who did you team up with during the Hongbao training?"
Qingxuan said: "With my senior brother, he is in Kudi Zen Monastery. Luopo Zen sect does not say that it is not allowed to unite across different Zen monasteries."
Chi Yu remembered what Lian Chi had said about Senior Brother Qingxuan, who had a hot temper, and laughed, "Senior Brother Qingxuan, you're coming to school with me, so you'll have company."
Qingxuan couldn't deny it. After a while, he took the initiative to ask, "What is this?"
He pointed at the test paper that Chi Yu had placed on the table.
Chi Yu: "Oh, this is the chemistry test paper."
He picked up the test paper and handed it to Qingxuan. "Chemistry, I think it should be useful in the world of cultivation as well. After all, we are from the same sect."
Chi Yu's humility faded, his fatherly air rose, and he began to talk at length. "Actually, I was also thinking while practicing, and I found that my practice actually matched my practice—I've been thinking about the essence of practice, and recently I realized that practice is actually a kind of reaction. For example, when I was learning water spells, the spiritual energy moved in a certain way to exchange water in the air. Fire spells also use spiritual energy to react with the fire spiritual energy in the air to exchange for fire.
My research on talismans has revealed that they are actually a kind of contractual transaction. The talisman master, as the first party, uses different routes of spiritual energy to exchange for corresponding functions with the higher-level heavenly way.
"You said, once this idea is achieved, is it possible to refine talismans in batches? Not just talismans, but also elixirs. As long as there is a recipe for elixirs, they can actually be produced on an assembly line. After all, isn't the elixir just a bunch of ingredients and spiritual energy? If the tools are available, mass production shouldn't be a problem."
Qingxuan was stunned. Although he didn't understand some of the words, it was not difficult for him to understand the meaning in the context. It was precisely because he vaguely understood that he felt extremely shocked and subconsciously denied it: "Impossible-"
Chi Yu said, "No one can categorically say something is impossible without verification. I wonder what if it's possible? If so, then talismans and elixirs wouldn't be so rare, would they?"
He laughed, his thoughts running wild. "Honestly, Senior Brother Qingxuan, if you could customize the contract template, you wouldn't have to make talismans yourself anymore, right? You could just use a seal and print tens of thousands a day. Wouldn't that make you rich?"
Qingxuan's cold eyebrows turned slightly red as he encouraged her, and her heart surged with emotion. "...This kind of thing is simply impossible. You don't understand at all."
Chi Yu said, "I don't understand, but sometimes those involved are often confused while those who are watching can see things more clearly. What do you think, Senior Brother Qingxuan?"
Qingxuan stood up suddenly and said, "Junior Brother Long, I have something else to do. Goodbye."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Xiaoqiu came out of the kitchen and said to Chi Yu dissatisfiedly, "Brother Aotian, he is so cold and indifferent, and you still taught him so much. And if he succeeds and becomes rich, you will have nothing."
He said earnestly, "Good things should be kept for yourself. Don't tell others everything."
Chi Yu pinched his face and said with a smile: "Of course I understand what you said. I'm just trying to find something for him to do, so that he won't come to me every day without saying anything and I have to find topics to talk to him."
"As for what I said—I was just making it up. How could such a loophole exist? Even if there was one, how could someone not have discovered it over the years?"
Chi Yu is self-aware. He knows very well that no matter what time, one should not treat others as fools. In the world of cultivation, all kinds of skills can be experimented, so how could there be no one who is studying this shortcut?
He really didn't expect that he could scare Senior Brother Qingxuan by making up a few lies.
You won’t try it right away after you get back, right?
Chi Yu felt a little guilty, but then he thought, he was just chatting, so if he took it seriously, then it would be his problem.
He easily put the matter behind him.
For more than half a month afterwards, Qingxuan did not look for him again.
He did see Senior Brother Qingxuan coming to see him, and he looked handsome - but there are basically no ugly cultivators, no matter how ugly they are, they are at least handsome.
The monk was tall and strong, with a sinister look on his face, and was not easy to get along with.
Chi Yu, determined not to offend, called him "Senior Brother." The cultivator glanced at him, noticing his young age and already having reached Foundation Establishment cultivation. He sneered and said, "Since you're calling me Senior Brother, why don't you know how to perform the ceremony? I don't see any sincerity in you."
Chi Yu: "???"
Oh, his mouth is so unnecessary to shout like that.
Chi Yu rolled his eyes at him and turned back to the house.
Mingxin was furious. He chased after him and slammed his door, "Boy, get out of here!"
Chi Yu shouted, "Get out, this is my dormitory."
Ming Xin: "Get out here! As your senior brother, I will teach you what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame mean! You still dare to roll your eyes at me? Didn't your master teach you that? Where did you come from? Get out here!"
Chi Yu stood in the room with his hands on his hips and yelled at him: "I won't come out. I have a bunch of senior brothers here. Who do you think you are? You should get out! Get out now, idiot!"
Zen houses all have built-in restrictions that can be activated as long as one wants. Otherwise, this thin door panel really cannot stop the monk.
Mingxin rolled up his sleeves, intending to force his way through, when he suddenly sensed a surge of murderous intent. His heart trembled, and he looked up. A tall Jindan-level cultivator was there. He smiled at him, a gentle smile, but his blade-like golden eyes held no warmth. "What do you want to do? Don't you know fighting is forbidden within the Zen sect?"
Ming Xin's temper softened a bit when he saw the Jindan realm cultivator. He explained, "I didn't fight. I just wanted to communicate with my junior brother."
The person who came was naturally Xie Xiyi. He seemed to find this very funny, and the arc of his lips curled up even more. "Communicate? Communicate and want to break through the restrictions of his cave?"
Mingxin figured it out. This man was obviously in cahoots with the monk in the room. He couldn't help but get annoyed. "So what if he is? He's provoking me with his eyes. Shouldn't I be angry?"
Chi Yu opened the door and shouted, "You deserve it! I called you Senior Brother, and you think I'm not polite enough? You want me to kneel down and pay you respect? You're dreaming."
Mingxin: "You——"
Chi Yu's fighting power was weak for the time being, and he couldn't defeat the natives of the cultivation world. After he finished speaking, he immediately closed the door.
Mingxin was completely frustrated.
Mingxin was furious. At this moment, another voice came: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Mingxin turned around and saw Qingxuan. He suppressed his anger and said, "I didn't do anything."
Qing Xuan frowned at him, then looked at Xie Xiyi, and said to him as if he was used to it, "Don't be upset, Senior Brother Xuan Ji. My senior brother has a hot temper, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. It's not..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Xiyi interrupted him rudely, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "If you have the time to apologize for him, why not find him a teacher and let him read more books so he doesn't have to bark everywhere?"
This was too vicious. Mingxin's blood pressure surged and his face turned red. "You——"
Qingxuan held his shoulders and frowned at him, "Alright, senior brother, stop making trouble."
Mingxin endured it and stared at Xie Xiyi with an extremely sinister look.
Xie Xiyi was not afraid at all, "What's that look in your eyes? Try looking at it again."
Qingxuan slapped him hard and pulled him towards his own room, "Sorry, Senior Brother Xuanji, I'm taking him away now."
He dragged Mingxin to his room, set up restrictions, and then said, somewhat impatiently, "Brother, this is not the Five Aggregates Sect. Can't you think more about everything? He is Xuanji, the future disciple of the Anuttara Buddhist sect. If you provoke him, he can kick you out at any time if he wants."
Mingxin said angrily, "I didn't do anything wrong! He has no reason to kick me out! Besides, he hasn't even become a Buddhist disciple yet, so why would he kick me out?"
Anger also burst out from Qingxuan's cold eyes. "Brother, you can lie to others, but don't lie to me. I know you very well. If you and Junior Brother Long quarreled, it was only your fault. Don't make trouble again! If something like this happens again, I can't help you even if you are kicked out!"
Mingxin rarely saw Qingxuan angry. After a pause, he said aggrievedly, "I understand! I won't cause trouble again!"
On the other side, after they left, Chi Yu opened the door and the restrictions, and said to Xie Xiyi, "Brother Xuanji, it's a good thing you came, otherwise I was really afraid that he would break through the restrictions and beat me up."
Xie Xiyi smiled, "You'll be scared one day too."
Chi Yu was about to laugh when Xie Xiyi suppressed his smile and said, "If you're afraid, why do you only practice for an hour and a half a day? Your cultivation, your spiritual awareness, and your magic are all completely useless. How can you become a Foundation Establishment cultivator like this?"
Chi Yu: "..."
The smile disappeared quietly.jpg
Chi Yu said dryly, "Well, I'll increase it to two hours then."
Xie Xiyi's golden eyes were sharp. "Ten hours, you are too weak. Anyone can easily kill you. If you are not afraid of death, you can just let it go. Don't think that if you cling to me, our relationship will be good. Next time you encounter something like this, I will not help you again."
Chi Yu: "..."
He was devastated and said pitifully, "Senior Brother Xuanji, so you think our relationship is bad? I consider you my best friend! - Senior Brother Xuanji!"
"..." Xie Xiyi found it unbelievable. When did they become friends?
He opened his thin lips slightly and said, "It's meaningless."
Chi Yu: "Oh, never mind. Xiaoqiu is my best friend now."
Xiaoqiu popped his head out from behind Xie Xiyi, his face full of excitement. "Really?! Am I your best friend now?"
Chi Yu smiled and said, "That's right! It's Xiaoqiu now! Xiaoqiu is my best friend!"
Xiaoqiu cheered happily, "Great! Brother Aotian, you are my best friend too!"
After he finished speaking, he rushed over and threw himself into Chi Yu's arms, "I'm so happy."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He turned and walked away, out of sight, out of mind.
What kind of best friend would care about something so empty and meaningless?
That is the combination of causes and conditions that only a weak-willed person like Xiaoqiu would desire.
