Cultivation: I have an inventory
Chapter 163 Return
"Bai Wuji, Xiao Changqing..."
"If Bai Wuji is really Xiao Changqing... it would be much easier to handle."
A smile appeared on Master Guangqin's face.
He was most afraid that Xiao Changqing's origin was not simple. After all, it was unbelievable that a monk at the Foundation Establishment Realm had such a powerful spirit that he could almost pose a threat to monks in the middle stage of the Core Formation and have their actions affected.
Even the two major Nascent Soul sects do not have such talented beings.
If a genius appears by chance and encounters some adventure, it is nothing to be afraid of.
I am afraid that this person has a mysterious origin, for example, he is the "eldest young master" from powerful forces such as the Jiulian Chamber of Commerce and the Alchemy Alliance, which span several immortal cultivation countries, or that his background is even more extraordinary and he accidentally traveled to Liyang Immortal City.
Then you can't treat it casually.
"Just being a casual cultivator can't cause any trouble. In fact, it can even be used..."
Master Guangqin thought for a moment, thought of something, got up and left the cave.
…
…
Jinxiufang.
Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the formation in Xiao Changqing's training room. Xiao Changqing looked at the completely shapeless puppet in front of him, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and put it back into his storage bag.
It is too difficult to create a third-level puppet.
The strength of his soul is sufficient, but his mana in the middle stage of foundation building is a bit too weak. Only by activating the solid mana stored in the fragments of the longevity stone can he feel more relaxed.
But even so, the creation speed is very slow, which is completely different from the second-order late-stage puppet he created before.
In the case that he possesses the third-level mid-level puppet technique, according to his current progress, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to truly create a third-level puppet.
Uh-huh!
The formation in the training room was removed.
"Master, I didn't disturb your retreat, did you?" Lin Zixi stood at the door of the training room.
Originally, my sister Lin Ziyu has been spending more time practicing in seclusion recently. She is sprinting towards perfection in refining her Qi and wants to try to build the foundation as soon as possible.
Although she is still more than ten years away from the peak of her vitality and blood at the age of sixty, and she still has plenty of time, she still wants to try it as soon as possible.
After all, theoretically speaking, as long as you have accumulated enough and reached the perfection of Qi refining, the earlier you try to build the foundation, the greater the success rate will be.
So Lin Zixi is currently serving Xiao Changqing and taking care of Xiao Changqing's food and daily life.
Lin Zixi has just reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and there is still some time before the ninth level of Qi refining, so there is no urgency.
Of course she is a few years younger.
"It's okay. I'm just going to take a rest." Xiao Changqing waved his hand and asked, "Is someone coming to visit? Or is there something big happening?"
Under normal circumstances, as long as he is in the training room, the Lin sisters will not disturb him.
"An old friend came to visit." Lin Zixi looked a little surprised and said, "It's the shopkeeper Hong from Lingfu Pavilion in Nanshanfang."
When Xiao Changqing was hanging around the Nanshanfang slum, Lin Zixi hadn't arrived yet, so she didn't know Shopkeeper Hong.
But out of curiosity about her master, she has already known the history of Xiao Changqing's career clearly over the years, and she also remembers those people who helped her master.
If the noble person who has helped the Lord the most along the way is naturally none other than Shopkeeper Hong.
So when Hong Jiantao came to Jinxiufang and signed up for the number, Lin Zixi immediately became nervous. He didn't dare to look down on the opponent just because he only had a "weak" cultivation level of Qi Refining, so he immediately welcomed him into the cave for a while. Wait, and then quickly come to notify Xiao Changqing.
"Shopkeeper Hong?"
Xiao Changqing was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said happily: "Have you welcomed shopkeeper Hong in?"
Lin Zixi nodded: "Already waiting for the master in the hall."
"Go now." Xiao Changqing did not put on airs.
Compared to Xiao Changqing, his mentality is peaceful and a little happy.
When Hong Jiantao saw Xiao Changqing again after many years, he was obviously more restrained.
The moment he saw Xiao Changqing appear, he subconsciously stood up to greet him.
After all, the Xiao Changqing in front of him was not the casual cultivator who could only hang out at the bottom of Nanshanfang in the early days of Qi refining, but a person who could defeat two fake elixir masters with one man.
"I've met...Vice Commander Xiao."
In addition to being restrained, Hong Jiantao was also a little embarrassed and unfamiliar.
On the way to Jinxiufang, he thought many times in his mind how to address Xiao Changqing when they met.
According to the rules of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, if there is no sect relationship or kinship relationship, when a Qi Refining Realm meets a Foundation Establishment Realm monk, they must call him "Senior".
If you meet the real person Jiedan, calling him "ancestor" is not an exaggeration.
But for Hong Jiantao, half of his body to be buried in the ground and his life span short, to call a former junior a senior, he really couldn't say it.
After thinking about it, I feel that it seems more appropriate to call Xiao Changqing's position in Liyang Guard.
Yes.
After killing the real Blood Crow, not long after returning to Liyang Fairy City, Gu Zongyuan directly promoted Xiao Changqing to the deputy commander of Liyang Guard.
A person with terrifying combat power who can kill the mid-stage pill formation can almost be regarded as the second-largest figure in Liyang Immortal City. As the deputy commander of Liyang Guard, he is naturally more than enough.
"Sit down, Shopkeeper Hong." Xiao Changqing stepped forward to help Hong Jiantao and told him that he was welcome.
After sitting down again, he said seriously: "Shopkeeper Hong can still call me Xiao Xiao, or Chang Qing, as before. Don't mention this unfamiliar title of Deputy Commander Xiao again."
He couldn't do such things as calling him 'senior' when he was down and out, 'fellow Taoist' when his cultivation level was similar, and 'young friend' when his cultivation level was higher.
With just one sentence, Hong Jiantao's originally restrained and somewhat uneasy mind was calmed down a lot.
It seems that Xiao Changqing did say something similar to what Jiang Jiuyue said last time she came back.
Although things are different now, Xiao Changqing is still the Xiao Changqing of Lingfu Pavilion, at least his attitude has not changed.
"Then I will take advantage of my age and continue to call you Changqing."
Hong Jiantao was not a fussy person. He was no longer reserved and just sighed: "After more than ten years of separation, I really didn't expect that you were only at the third level of Qi Refining at the beginning, but now you have surpassed most of the fake Dan Zhenren. Such a genius can appear in the small Nanshanfang."
Xiao Changqing said: "If it weren't for your support and help, Manager Hong, I might still be struggling in the shantytown and never get ahead."
Hong Jiantao shook his head: "Golden scales are not things in the pond. With your talent and your calm personality, it is only a matter of time before you show your talent."
This is the truth.
Xiao Changqing traveled through time and had the golden finger in the inventory. It was only a matter of time before he rose.
But in the original body's situation, there was no golden finger, and Hong Jiantao's help was a life-saving straw.
And at that time, Hong Jiantao didn't know how talented Xiao Changqing was, and he didn't think about reporting.
So this kind of friendship is much more valuable than the Mu family's desire to invest in him.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Hong Jiantao began to ask about the main business of the day, "Changqing, did you ask the City Lord's Mansion to hand over one-third of the Song family's assets to the Jiang family?"
"It's not a plea. It's just that when Commander Gu came to me a few days ago, he asked if I was interested in taking over the Song family's assets or cultivating some of my own forces. I didn't have any plans in this regard, so I refused. Then Commander Gu said that I didn't have a good relationship with the top ten families. The Song family's assets were too large to be completely left to a new family. A part had to be left to the original top ten families. So I thought of the Jiang family and told him casually..."
Xiao Changqing said lightly.
Hong Jiantao was amazed and smiled bitterly when he heard it.
He said that there is no free lunch in the sky.
It was indeed Xiao Changqing who helped their Jiang family.
It's just ridiculous that he thought it was the credit of Master Guangqin, who kept his promise, did good things without leaving a message, and secretly helped.
As a result, he entered the wrong temple and worshipped the wrong Bodhisattva!
"This is the thank-you gift prepared by the Jiang family. The gift is not much. Compared with the one-third of the Song family's industry and the fact that they helped the Jiang family solve a big problem, this gift is nothing. Changqing, you must accept it." Hong Jiantao took out a storage bag and said seriously.
This was prepared by the Jiang family for Master Guangqin before.
Fortunately, Master Guangqin's servants also misunderstood the Jiang family's intentions, thinking that the Jiang family was asking Master Guangqin to take action.
It just so happens that this thank-you gift is now given to the real owner.
Although Xiao Changqing just said it lightly and did not spend any effort.
This is because Xiao Changqing is a good person and remembers the old friendship, but Hong Jiantao cannot really think so.
To put it another way, even if Xiao Changqing really helped the Jiang family as he said, it was just a casual mention, but the Jiang family could not accept it as a matter of course!
Seeing that Xiao Changqing had no intention of accepting it, Hong Jiantao was about to persuade him again. He really wanted to give a reward and thank him.
At this time, Xiao Changqing took out two talisman pens.
It was the brush that Hong Jiantao gave to Xiao Changqing twice when he was in Nanshanfang.
Silver Moon Wolf Hair Brush and Double Wing Tiger Hair Brush!
The former was a handy brush that Hong Jiantao had used for decades, and he gave it to Xiao Changqing before he left Nanshanfang.
The latter was the brush that Lu Qiu used when he was a first-level talisman master, and was given to Xiao Changqing by Hong Jiantao. Of course, it must be for Hong Jiantao's sake that Lu Qiu gave it to Xiao Changqing, otherwise Xiao Changqing didn't know him at the time, and he was an unknown junior, so how could Lu Qiu give him a brush?
These two talisman pens are no longer useful to Xiao Changqing.
Whether it is equipment or ordinary talisman drawing, Xiao Changqing uses the second-level top-grade Tianqing talisman pen.
But these two talisman pens provided great help when Xiao Changqing was weak, so he kept them all the time.
"These thank-you gifts are regarded as the spirit stones for me to buy these two talisman pens." Xiao Changqing said with a smile.
"This..." Hong Jiantao naturally recognized the two talisman pens, one of which he had used for decades, and he was quite reluctant to give it away when he gave it away.
Xiao Changqing pushed the storage bag back: "My help to the Jiang family this time is not as great as the help that Manager Hong gave me when he gave me these two pens in Nanshanfang. So it makes sense, isn't it?"
Seeing this, Hong Jiantao knew that Xiao Changqing really didn't intend to accept the thank-you gift, and he could only quietly put away the storage bag in the end.
Let's see if there is any place to return the gift later.
Finally.
Hong Jiantao was nervous and uneasy when he came, but he was very happy when he left.
Especially when he left Jinxiufang and was on the way back to the Jiang family, although he had many feelings, he couldn't help but smile as he walked.
It is said that Hong Jiantao has a good eye and is very accurate in judging people.
But all his previous eyes combined are not as accurate as his eyes on Xiao Changqing alone! (End of this chapter)
