"Senior, Zhong Chen is nothing but a mean..."
"Noisy!"
Chi Changye threw out those two words, and the pressure from the Divine Transformation cultivators also pressed towards the guy. The guy who was shouting immediately turned pale, and his knees softened and he knelt down. The others dared to stand there without making a sound, but their eyes were filled with
fear when they looked at Chi Changye.
The leader was Sun Lei, and he was the first to discover that Zhong Chen had spent a lot of spirit stones at the market with the two cultivators, so he brought a group of peers who disliked Zhong Chen over, and also called Liu Qiaoqiao, wanting to embarrass Zhong Chen and let Liu Qiaoqiao see his true face.
But they forgot one thing, that is, compared to them, high-level monks are not something they can control.
Zhong Chen was dumbfounded. Gu Yao was always kind, and although Chi Changye didn't show much expression, he never showed them his face. The sudden outburst made him very uneasy. To be honest, it was his own fault, and he was worried that he would annoy Chi Changye.
Gu Yao urged: "Zhong Chen, why don't you pay the bill!"
"Ah, hey, here it comes!" Zhong Chen jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and immediately went to another employee to settle the bill.
The storage bag was opened, and it was full of high-quality spirit stones. Zhong Chen had never seen so many spirit stones before. He was trembling in his heart when he counted out enough spirit stones. The guy who initially suspected that Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye were country bumpkins and wanted to chase Zhong Chen out stood aside with an embarrassed face, blushing. Even if they were country bumpkins, they didn't mean they were poor.
The three of them settled the bill and left. Although they didn't say a word to the guy, they were more embarrassed than slapping him in the face in public.
The few people who rushed to Zhong Chen also hurriedly pulled Sun Lei up and left quickly. Liu Qiaoqiao, who was traveling with them, had tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Senior, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Zhong Chen stammered and apologized to Gu Yao and Chi Changye.
Gu Yao chuckled: "Is that girl the one you secretly like?" A little girl like that was transparent in the eyes of Gu Yao and Chi Changye now, and their thoughts could not be concealed at all.
Zhong Chen blushed and shook his head: "I liked her before, but not now."
"Pfft, haha..." The love of young people really comes and goes quickly, but it also has a sense of willfulness.
Zhong Chen blushed at first, and finally laughed foolishly, even though he didn't know what Gu Yao was laughing at.
After walking for most of the day, they walked through a lot of places. Because Beiya City is big enough, the places they walked through only reached the edge of the middle part. There are many cultivators here, including Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen, and the aura of the body-refining cultivators is also much stronger.
After all, it is different from Wanluo Continent. The top-level Huashen in Wanluo Continent is not a special existence in this barely fourth-rate city in the Spirit World. In fact, the city lord of this city in the Lianxu period is the top powerhouse, and only the Huashen Dacheng can be ranked.
And there are stronger existences above Lianxu, which makes Gu Yao and Chi Changye soberly realize that they are actually just middle-level cultivators in the Spirit World, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
The two looked at each other, then turned around and smiled at Zhong Chen: "Let's go, let's go back today, and stay outside for a few more days the next day, so we can walk more."
"Okay, okay." Zhong Chen also put the earlier things behind him, and feasted his eyes. He also had a big meal in the restaurant at noon. The food was full of spiritual energy, and his body almost couldn't support it. The spiritual energy in his body was running wild, and he spent some time refining the spiritual energy in the food.
Zhong Chen felt extremely happy.
The return journey was much faster, and soon they returned to the remote area where the Zhong family father and son lived. Zhong Chen also met someone familiar. At this time, a person hurriedly ran from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Zhong Chen, go home quickly, your father is in trouble!"
What? Zhong Chen was stunned for a moment, not caring about Gu Yao and Chi Changye anymore, he ran home, and in a gust of wind, only a shadow was left.
The person who came to report the news saw Gu Yao and Chi Changye, and thought that they should be the guests that Zhong's father had told them about.
After the explanation of the middle-aged man, Gu Yao and Chi Changye understood what was going on, and followed the middle-aged man to Zhong's house
.
The middle-aged man teamed up with Zhong's father to hunt wild beasts. Since they did not stay overnight, they were not too far from the city. Logically, there would not be any powerful wild beasts. But today, for some reason, they encountered one. Half of their team were injured, and Zhong's father was seriously injured, with half of his leg chopped off by a wild beast.
"People like us, let alone legs, even if we lose an arm or a few fingers, our fighting power will be greatly reduced. We can't go out hunting anymore, and no team will want such people to hold them back. We can't do other work in the city. After he recovers, I think Old Zhong can only rent a spiritual field to farm. It's a pity for his son, whose future will be delayed."
The middle-aged man said and slapped himself on the mouth: "I shouldn't be nagging these things to you two seniors."
"It's okay, we're here, let's go in and take a look." Gu Yao waved his hand and walked into the Zhong family's yard. Hearing Zhong Chen's crying inside, many neighbors came, most of them sighing. They could only consider themselves unlucky to encounter such a thing.
Some people looked at Gu Yao and Chi Changye with curiosity. They didn't expect that monks like them would be willing to live in the Zhong family.
They spent a lot of money to invite a doctor to treat the wound on Zhong's father's leg, and bought two kinds of elixirs to treat Zhong's father's internal injuries. This way, the Zhong family's family assets would be emptied again.
After the neighbors left, Gu Yao went into the house to visit, and saw that Zhong's father, who was full of hope and energy for the future, became lifeless in just one day.
Zhong Chen wiped Zhong's father's body with red and swollen eyes. When he saw Gu Yao and Chi Changye come in, he remembered that there were two guests at home.
Father Zhong also saw it, his eyes rolled a few times, and finally he sighed: "My two seniors, my family has met with misfortune, I am afraid I cannot entertain you."
Gu Yao walked over to feel his pulse. Based on Father Zhong's condition, he was completely unable to escape. No matter how serious the internal injuries were, they could be cured with elixirs. But it would not be easy to heal the broken leg. Of course, this was for the father and son of the Zhong family.
Zhong Chen wiped away the tears that were about to flow again and said firmly: "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely earn a lot of spirit stones and buy you limb-repairing pills in the future."
"Dad is sorry for you." Zhong's father said with a heartache. His fall delayed his son's future. His son's qualifications were not high. If he wanted to send him to a sect to learn better body-refining techniques and martial arts, the cost would be very high. Now he couldn't raise this amount of spirit stones.
While taking the pulse, Gu Yao also took the opportunity to check the differences between these body-refining practitioners and monks. He and Chi Changye also practiced body-refining. After checking Zhong Chen, and now with Zhong's father's work for comparison, they found that there were still differences.
Gu Yao let go of his hand and asked: "How many spirit stones does a limb-repairing pill cost?"
Zhong Chen was stunned, he looked over with red eyes, thought hard, and said: "It will cost about two thousand high-quality spirit stones for a low-quality limb-replacing pill. The middle-quality and high-quality ones are more expensive."
If possible, he would of course hope to buy the best limb-replacing pill for his father, so that there would be no sequelae, and the regrown limbs would be the most suitable for the body.
Gu Yao was surprised and asked, "Two thousand high-quality spirit stones? So expensive?"
Chi Changye said, "Scarcity makes things valuable. A cultivator who hunts wild beasts all year round and fights them in close combat would easily get injured and lose limbs. The demand for limb-replacing pills is greater than the supply."
Zhong's father sighed, "There's no need for that. When Dad recovers, we'll ask a puppeteer to make a prosthesis for him so he can walk and work. When Chen is able to work, we'll get Dad a better prosthesis."
Zhong Chen clenched his fists. The prosthesis had to be installed first, otherwise his father would not be able to move normally. But he would definitely find a way to buy limb-replacing pills for his father.
Zhong Chen grew up quickly in just one day. He was no longer the carefree boy who could be happy all day with a glance from the girl he admired.
After wiping away his tears, Zhong Chen went out to cook dinner. People like them have a big appetite and need to eat from outside to ensure their body needs.
After dinner, Zhong Chen washed his father and stayed in the yard to practice. He only practiced one exercise in the yard last night.
Panting and pale.
Gu Yao waved his hand, and Zhong Chen fell down. Some parts of his body muscles were twitching. Gu Yao walked over and looked down at him: "Too late is as bad as too late. Cultivation is a gradual process. Forcing growth will only make your future more and more difficult. You will exhaust your potential too early. It just so happens that I have also studied body refining. I just got a bucket of liquid medicine. I don't know how it works. You can help me test it first."
Chi Changye walked over, grabbed Zhong Chen's collar and threw him into a large wooden barrel in another room. Zhong Chen pursed his lips and groaned. His sore muscles were tingling, as if he was being tortured. Did the senior Gu really use him as a test subject? Is the senior Gu really an alchemist?
Gu Yao glanced at Zhong Chen's situation and said to Chi Changye: "This silly boy, do you really think that this kind of cultivation can be achieved by hard work?"
In the spiritual world, although the entry threshold for the body cultivator is very low, the higher you go, the more resources you need. Just like what Zhong Chen did before, if you over-develop your body without timely repairing and replenishing the required energy, you will become rigid over time.
"Xiao Yao, do you want to help them?" Chi Changye said affirmatively.
Gu Yao smiled. What he wanted to do could not be hidden from Chi Chang Ye: "Let's take a look first. We also need to see if it is worth helping. After all, it is a pill worth thousands of top-grade spirit stones."
He was selling a top-grade limb-replacing pill. According to the situation here, it might be able to sell for tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones if it is auctioned.
