Chapter 16 Don't act young
Wen Qing nodded lightly, and caught a glimpse of that consciousness jumping around in his peripheral vision. It was impossible for him not to be curious.
It's just that he has always been alone and doesn't interact with others much. His communication skills are poor. It's just as Bei Qi said, if the little sword spirit is with him, it will definitely be bored to death.
He didn't know what He Cen liked, but he had to admit that he did care about the movements of the sword spirit.
After receiving the news, he rushed over and showed up immediately. No one would not want to get the favor of the sword spirit. Even a lazy guy like Bei Qi would hang around He Cen for the first time in his life. As a big shot in the ghost world, he had to work harder.
The ancient city of Jiaochang is far away, and it is surrounded by a strong aura of evil, so it is not easy to enter. We have to take a rest in the ghost town of Wenqing.
This place is not as rich in spiritual energy as Tianhai Sect. Jun Chao was worried about He Cen's health and kept asking about his changes. Unexpectedly, He Cen accepted it well.
"I am a sword spirit, born without attributes. It doesn't matter. Ghost energy, demonic energy and spiritual power are the same. As long as they are pure and strong enough, they are good things to me."
Jun Chao was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything else.
Bei Qi at the side couldn't help but laugh, "Do you think He He is more sensitive to spiritual power and closer to you?"
"The abacus beads must have been placed incorrectly~ We Hehe accept everything well~"
This fox just loves to quarrel with others. Jun Chao suppressed his anger and didn't bother with him, but it was obvious that a few people were arguing about this again.
Sword spirits are born without owners. Real strong ones are not afraid of the reshaping of the environment, so they can eat anything. These big monks are different, so who can make the sword spirit like them more depends on their own abilities. Everyone competes fairly and no one can take shortcuts.
He Cen listened helplessly to Bei Qi's provocation and flew over to separate him and Jun Chao, "Why are you two fighting again?"
"Didn't I tell you to build a ladder if you want to ascend? Why are you still fighting over me?"
"I know the principle that an innocent man may be guilty of possessing a treasure. If you want to know something, please don't be polite. Just tell me directly. I will tell you what I know. If I don't know, I can't tell you even if you force me to."
"If you make a scene like this again next time, I can find someone else. Don't blame me."
"At worst, I will go back and stay in the forbidden land for a few thousand years. I can't die anyway, so you can do whatever you want."
As soon as He Cen said this, the three people from Bei Qi immediately became obedient. The Demon King did not say anything to sow discord along the way and was very careful in what he said and did.
Jun Chao and Wen Qing, one was as cold as an iceberg and the other was not good at speaking, they both fell silent at first and didn't say a word afterwards.
Hecen's world became quiet, so he slept soundly again.
When they woke up again, they had already settled in the nearest ghost town near the ancient city of Jiaochang.
There are nine major sects in the immortal way and eighteen demon sects in the demon way. As for the demon cultivators and ghost cultivators, they also have their own territories. The Hundred Demon Alliance and the Thirteen Ghost Cities belong to Bei Qi and Wen Qing respectively.
This thing has little to do with one's own strength. It is basically an excuse for cultivators of all kinds to gather together. They say they are the leader of the immortal way, the city lord... it's just that other cultivators respect the strong. Jun Chao and the others are also in charge, but most of the time he plays alone.
He Cen felt tired after sleeping this time. Traveling was hard work. No matter how powerful the monk was, it was a heavy burden for him, a sword spirit who had not yet recovered from his serious injuries.
Even though he was soaking in the spiritual spring that Jun Chao brought, He Cen still looked much listless.
Wen Qing, the handsome dark-skinned boss, didn't have much contact with the little sword spirit. Seeing that he was not feeling well, he took out some good things, including a very valuable jade statue.
"You have been floating in your spiritual consciousness for too long. Even if you are extremely powerful, you have consumed too much energy. Yu Yangren, why don't you come in and recuperate?"
He Cen hesitated for a second or two, but without further ado, he went in and stayed there.
He was seriously injured. Although the consciousness left by the sword spirit was powerful, he had experienced death after all. Although he was recovering these days, compared with Ouyang Yinyin's cultivation speed, it was much slower.
This is why He Cen took the trouble to take this risk to find a way out for himself. With the mysterious cold spring, he should be able to at least repair his spiritual body. Now that he has a human form, it should be much easier for him to do things.
Wen Qing was still asking him how he felt, "How is it?"
"Very good. I feel a little more relaxed and not so tired anymore."
"Brother, you have a lot of good stuff. I owe you this favor. I will definitely introduce you to good stuff when I have it later."
The memories left in the sword spirit's mind are vast, and he knows all the secret manuals of martial arts and the birthplaces of all the rare treasures. It shouldn't be a problem for him to heal a few good brothers.
He Cen was quite polite to a few people, but Jun Chao and others were not as happy as they had imagined. Although the little sword spirit looked cute and easy to deceive, it was clear-headed and knew its limits.
To put it bluntly, the sword spirit was also being distant with them and had no real intention of getting close to them.
That's right, everyone wants the Guichuan Sword. Now that its current owner treats the sword spirit in such a way, even if He Cen is a fool he will have to be wary of humans.
After all is said and done, it's still that damn woman who's the guide that's to blame.
Bei Qi rolled his eyes and whispered, "Without her, the baby would have played well with us."
This is Wen Qing's territory. Although there are many ghost towns, they are not all ghost cultivators. There are many cultivators, and the mainstream cultivation is still the orthodox sects. In fact, there are not many ghost cultivators and monster cultivators.
The reason why there are Ghost Town and Hundred Demons Alliance is that they are resources divided up for the sake of Wen Qing and Bei Qi. After all, there are only four of them in the fusion stage in this world.
If the big guys aren't allowed to eat, then everyone else probably won't have any food to eat.
The original setting of this world is that of a heroine who cultivates immortality, so each of the men surrounding the heroine in Jun Chao is handsome and strong. He Cen can understand this logic, but when he is in it, he finds that the disparity in the world of cultivation is really amazing.
There was no one above the Fusion Stage, and the best below was the Spirit Transformation Stage. The four of them seemed to be standing alone in this world, like particularly out of place beings.
Without the guidance of predecessors, we still have to pave the way for future generations, which feels like a very miserable setting.
He Cen thought about this, crawled out and asked a few more questions, "Are you all... the same size?"
Jun Chao was stunned for a moment. "It's about the same. Bo Lou and I have known each other the longest, and our age difference is not much."
Wen Qing said calmly, "I am older than both of them."
He Cen blinked and looked at Bei Qi again.
The beautiful fox smiled and said, "I'm the youngest~"
"You didn't expect that? I'm only 976 years old this year, not even a thousand years old yet, unlike some of them, who are already thousand-year-olds~"
Jun Chao was speechless. "At most, he is a hundred years older than you. We are basically of the same generation. Don't act younger than him."
