"Fellow Daoist..." The young female cultivator first looked at Li Yiru's face. It was ordinary, without any fierceness, and even a little silly.
She had never seen such a situation before, so she couldn't say for sure. Anyway, if it was an unusual situation, she would just let the other person go. There was nothing wrong with that.
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to rest here." She stood beside Li Yiru, stared at him for a while, and gestured for her to leave.
Li Yiru was also confused and couldn't find the reason. Could it be that she had killed too many people?
But is there anyone in the world of cultivation whose hands are free of blood? She never actively harmed anyone, though she had considered eliminating some to ensure her whereabouts and secrets remained hidden.
Li Yirou has always believed that actions should be judged rather than intentions. She finally stopped and let them go, so she has a clear conscience. What kind of goddess is this? She must be a saint, huh!
Li Yiru wanted to look back at the statue again, but the smoke was lingering on her face and the overly strong smell of agarwood made her eyes a little sore. Forget it, she decided not to look at it.
Perhaps it was because she was wearing a mask, but at the moment she didn't want to take it off. She would take it off again when she had time to try again, to see if this Fuyao Temple was really that effective.
As soon as she left the 2-meter range of the statue, the fragrant mist stopped chasing her and everything returned to normal. The speed was so fast that the previous pursuit of the fragrant mist seemed like a dream.
At this moment, a powerful spiritual consciousness detected Li Yiru, making her feel as if her whole body was locked by lightning points. She felt unprecedented danger and fear of being unable to resist. She even subconsciously wanted to hide in the space at all costs.
Li Yirou suppressed her fear. The probe quickly moved away from her. It was not coming for her. Li Yirou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heh, isn't this the ancestor Tiancun? What? Do you think that just because you named yourself Tiancun, you've never done anything to kill anyone?!"
A young man walked out slowly from the Taoist temple. He looked like an ordinary person, but Li Yiru inexplicably felt that this was not the case. It was because his cultivation was much higher than hers.
He was quite handsome, with sharp features on his face and prominent brow bones, but his eyes were big and bright, like peach blossoms, which neutralized the seriousness of his other facial features and made him look somewhat gentle.
He stared into the air with an expression of indescribable disgust.
The cultivator he called Ancestor Tiancun might be the one who flew in the sky and investigated her.
A crack suddenly appeared in the space in front of Li Yiruo, and as if the spirit of the ginkgo fruit had teleported her, a female cultivator stepped out and stared at the young man through the smoke.
Li Yirou did not see her face, only her tall back, and was separated by the formation.
She didn't know what the two of them were fighting about, and she felt helpless, wanting to watch the fun but unable to see.
But she can hardly protect herself, so why should she join in the fun?
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask how much it would cost to live outside?" Li Yiru was about to leave this place, but suddenly she thought of something and stopped as she stepped out of Fuyao Temple.
She now has 60 medium-grade spirit stones, dozens of low-grade spirit stones, and a handful of spirit beads.
Life in the Western Realm was comfortable, but she didn't know how long these spirit stones would last in Wuji City. The young female cultivator was an inner disciple, so she wouldn't lie. She had to ask for the price first.
If it was too expensive, she would stay here. After all, she was not allowed to stay until the incense was extinguished. After she came in, the incense was lit successfully.
She had too many uses for her money, and she wanted to save some to buy a new set of equipment. First of all, her clothes were too different from others, and she also had the communication jade slip, and she couldn't really just hold on to someone else's and not return it.
"I'm not sure..." The young female cultivator thought for a moment, but nothing came to mind. She had entered the Wuji Palace at the age of ten and had no desire to venture out for training. She simply wanted to live a stable life, earning a few spirit stones, having enough to eat and drink, and doing her job well. She didn't spend much, so she didn't have a deep understanding of the outside world.
"Places with spiritual energy will be more expensive. If there is not enough spiritual energy, like this Taoist temple, it will probably cost dozens of spirit beads, right?" The young female cultivator's tone was full of uncertainty. Li Yiru still thanked her, and the other party made a gesture of invitation, indicating that she should leave.
This Taoist temple really didn't welcome her. Li Yiru didn't know that her dream days were wasted by the young female cultivator in front of her. She looked at the almost free accommodation with regret and turned away.
She didn't quite believe what the young female cultivator said. A few dozen spirit beads would be cheaper than accommodation in the Western Realm, but the reality was beyond her expectations.
Li Yirou inquired about the price, and the cheapest cave accommodation only cost 10 spirit beads. However, the waiter said the spiritual energy was extremely thin, so it was acceptable. Those with spiritual energy, however, required one mid-grade spirit stone, a price many times higher.
She decided to stay at Lingzhu for the time being and asked the waiter, "Where can I buy the communication jade slip?"
"Master, the communication jade slip is also a magic weapon. The low-grade one costs about 10 spirit stones, the medium-grade one costs about 1 medium-grade spirit stone, and the high-grade one seems to cost 1 high-grade spirit stone, tsk tsk."
The waiter seemed to be speechless at this point, lamenting the high price. "It's just for receiving messages anyway, so we think the low-end version with 50 people added is enough. At most, we'll buy the mid-range version, which is said to allow you to create a group contact."
"Our shop owner uses the mid-range model and has joined more than a dozen groups. He needs it for business." The waiter talked a lot. It was rare to see a customer like Li Yiru who knew nothing, so he couldn't help but chat with her for a few more words.
"Used ones are cheaper, but after a while, they slow down, becoming like a messenger." Isn't that just a cell phone? Li Yirou marveled at people's ingenuity, but also at their different circumstances. Some were steadily inventing and creating, while others were still fleeing for their lives.
What surprised her even more was that the prices in Wuji City were not as high as those in the Western Realm. She didn't know why.
Li Yiru tentatively booked a place to stay for one day. This place was the same as the town in the western border. If one wanted to stay in the city, one would need a house or rent a cave.
After returning from working at Wuji Palace, she would first rent a cave to live in. Li Yiru thought that she would rent one with thin spiritual energy. The price was so cheap that she only needed to spend some spirit stones to open a spirit gathering array, which was not a big deal.
She first went out and spent 10 spirit stones to choose the most basic communication jade slip without even complicated patterns. She didn't have the spare money to pay for a nice appearance at the moment.
With the communication jade slip, she could return the borrowed jade slip to Yang Qing after finishing the work, and then Li Yiru returned to the cave she rented for the day.
