On the second day, Hu Jiu successfully drew his first talisman!
This was only the most basic speed talisman, which could be attached to a magic sword or a flying boat to increase its speed.
Because it was too basic, the price was very low, only ten crystal stones each, and the talisman paper and talisman ink Hu Jiu had consumed over the past two days were worth more than that.
But he was still happy, especially happy. In his excitement, he picked up Mo Jiuwei and held her in his arms, then started spinning around with her.
"Haha, Junior Sister Jiuwei is truly my lucky star. I really succeeded in refining it!"
"Junior Sister, would you like Senior Brother to take you for a high flight?"
Hu Jiu’s eyes were filled with smiles as he looked down at Mo Jiuwei in his arms, feeling eager to try.
【No, you are too excited, I am afraid you will drop me.】
【My little life is still very important, I cannot die so miserably.】
Hu Jiu felt regretful, but seeing that his junior sister was unwilling, he had to hold back, "Senior Brother was just saying that."
【Phew... That's good.】
"Senior Brother Hu, I heard that you have successfully made a talisman?"
Du Yue trotted over. Although she was talking to Hu Jiu, her eyes were fixed straight on Mo Jiuwei.
Aww, her favorite junior sister, she had missed her so much after being separated for a few days!
"I did make one, but there is only one..." Hu Jiu realized something and quickly held onto Mo Jiuwei.
Du Yue reached out to snatch her, "Since that is the case, hurry up and return my junior sister to me!"
"I will not return her. I have only made one, you must wait a little longer."
"I will not wait. One is enough; this shows that you have already mastered the method."
Mo Jiuwei felt confused.
【What is going on? Why are they fighting over me!】
【Why did no one ask for my opinion... well, I know I cannot answer anyway.】
In the end, the competition between the two ended with Du Yue's success.
Du Yue held Mo Jiuwei contentedly, "Hehe, then thank you, Senior Brother Hu, see you later."
After saying that, she held her and ran away!
Hu Jiu was both angry and amused, "This girl is really..."
Thinking about it, he really was reluctant to part with Junior Sister Jiuwei.
Not to mention that she could guide him, just having her stay quietly by his side and keeping him company was enough. Sometimes when he was tired from studying and looked up, he could see her delicate, doll-like face; this feeling was truly wonderful!
However, although he was reluctant, the three of them had agreed that whenever there was progress in their studies, they would rotate, and they would continue this rotating instruction method until the Three Arts Flower Gate competition began.
This concerned the reputation of the entire Xianlai Sect, so for the sake of the big picture, he could not keep the junior sister all to himself.
Otherwise, he would never have let her go!
In the following time, Du Yue, Meng Ling, and Hu Jiu began to practice crazily, and Mo Jiuwei followed the three of them, guiding them in turns.
And they gradually showed amazing talent. With Mo Jiuwei as their "Master," they made rapid progress.
On the 22nd day, Meng Ling refined a very crude flying magical artifact. The reason it was called crude was that it had no beautiful patterns, the shape was the most basic pointed small boat style, and the materials were nothing special.
Meng Ling was only trying to refine it, so she did not put much effort into preparing special materials.
But, this was a flying magical artifact, and in terms of difficulty, it was already far beyond magic tools like daggers and long swords!
Not only her, but Hu Jiu and Du Yue were not far behind.
Hu Jiu had made many beginner talismans of ordinary difficulty these days. On a whim, he tried one, and unexpectedly, he even managed to make the sandstorm talisman, which was of higher difficulty among the beginner ones!
Du Yue even refined a furnace of blood-recovery pills, which were quite difficult, and she succeeded on her first try!
The people of the Xianlai Sect knew that their learning progress was fast, but they did not expect it to be this fast! When they saw Meng Ling's flying boat, Du Yue's blood-recovery pills, and Hu Jiu's sandstorm talisman, they were truly stunned.
On this day, Du Yue was tidying up the newly purchased medicinal ingredients when Ji Qingqing ran over and said with a mischievous smile, "Yueyue, guess who came to find you outside?"
"Who?"
"Hehe, who else could it be, of course it is your Brother Zhu!"
Du Yue's face turned red instantly, and she became excited, "Really?"
She put down what she was holding, lifted her skirt, and ran out.
【Ah, the scumbag is here!】
【This scumbag who cheats for money and affection, how does he have the face to come here?】
【Senior Sister Ji, hurry, take me with you, I want to go out and see!】
Ji Qingqing was stunned, the smile on her face stiffened.
Ah, this... a scumbag?
Wait, she remembered that Junior Sister Jiuwei did indeed say that Yueyue had been cheated on, but that was a long time ago. At that time, everyone thought it was absurd after hearing it, so no one believed it at all.
Could it be that this is actually true?
"Let's go, I will take you to see Yueyue's lover."
Ji Qingqing held Mo Jiuwei and followed her.
Du Yue looked at Meng Zhu, her eyes filled with longing, "Meng Zhu, you are finally back, I have been worried for a long time."
Meng Zhu was thin, like a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
He gazed at Du Yue affectionately, "Yueyue, I have finally been able to see you. You do not know how hard these days have been for me outside."
Du Yue was both shy and happy, and she couldn't help but call out Brother Zhu.
【Hmph, what a big scumbag, he really knows how to act!】
【Of course it was hard for him, he spent all the crystal stones on him, so of course he misses a sucker like Senior Sister Yue!】
【At this time, he should have already become a Dao Companion with that Chu Xin and moved in together. I really do not know where he gets the face to come back!】
【Oh right, many people outside now know that the Xianlai Sect has a little money. I guess this guy heard some rumors, which is why he came back specifically to scam money.】
【After all, he is dirt poor, and Chu Xin's family members look down on him, so he is desperate to get some money to put on a front.】
The fact that the Xianlai Sect has money is something that cannot be hidden even if they wanted to. After all, they were too poor before, almost selling their Mountain Gate, but now they eat well and dress well, and their complexions and expressions cannot deceive anyone.
"Yueyue? What is wrong with you, why does your face look so bad all of a sudden?" Meng Zhu asked.
Hearing these words from Mo Jiuwei, Du Yue's shyness and joy had completely faded, and she stood there in a daze.
She looked at the lover in front of her, unable to believe that those words were about him!
How could this be!
"I... it is nothing, I was just too excited, so I lost my composure," Du Yue said reluctantly.
【Sigh, how can I let Senior Sister Yue know the true face of this person? Being a child is truly full of helplessness.】
【But this person came back with a purpose this time. He will surely ask about the details of the Xianlai Sect's recent fortune in a few sentences, and then take the opportunity to cry poor so that Senior Sister Yue will soften her heart and actively give him money like before.】
【I hope Senior Sister Yue can realize that this person is unreliable through these things, and then kick him out!】
Ji Qingqing was so shocked that her jaw almost hit the ground.
Originally there should have been two updates, but I do not know if I was infected by my family members or caught a cold from the air conditioning, I have a crazy cough and a migraine. I barely managed to write one update while taking painkillers. The coughing is extremely severe and annoying, my throat is hoarse, my chest and abdomen hurt when I cough, it feels worse than COVID, and the coughing makes the migraine even more painful... I am truly defeated.
Everyone, please make do with this for now, I will start two updates as soon as possible.
