Fellow Taoist: Do you have any spiritual stones on you?

"Gu Feng, does this divine weapon of yours only consume spiritual stones?"

"Ok!"

"No wonder all the spiritual weapons and elixirs you snatched were exchanged for spiritual stones. So that's the truth!"

In the old courtyard, Gu Feng chatted with Zhu Qingyan who was hanging around his neck. At this level of their relationship, there were basically no so-called secrets between them.

"Senior Zhu, does he know the origin of this artifact?"

"Unheard of!"

"Oh!" Gu Feng said oh and began to practice.

From the first time he entered Lishan Mountain to today, his gains during this period can be described as huge. In terms of the number of spiritual stones alone, I am afraid that few in the entire Yunjun family can compare with him.

Lishan robbed [-] million spirit stones, and gained almost [-] million from the trip to the secret realm. Today's alchemy conference, plus bonuses and robbing alchemists, yielded nearly [-] million.

Originally, the [-] million bonus was to be shared with Yan Xixi, but the latter only wanted the trophy, so she got the trophy and Gu Feng got the spiritual stone.

As for the [-] million spirit stones that A Fei owed, Gu Feng regarded it as a long-term high-yield and stable financial management, and he was too lazy to collect debts in the short term.

It is worth mentioning that after Gu Feng broke into the acquired realm, the last of the three incense burners was finally opened.

Four hundred million spiritual stones were put into the three furnaces of the three incense burners respectively, and three kinds of divine liquid, milky white, golden, and purple, were produced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Senior Zhu, give me some soul skills!" Gu Feng seemed to have thought of something, licked his smile and said towards the Thunder Spirit Grass hanging on his chest.

"No!" Zhu Qingyan said angrily.

"I beg you."

"Every time you beg me now, you will pay me back twice as much in the future. I am possessed by the Thunder Spirit Grass and am weaker than you. What if I give you the technique and I turn against you and immediately refuse to recognize you!

If you want a skill, you can exchange it for thunder-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures! "Zhu Qingyan said in a deep voice.

"I'm not poor now. When I make money, I'll buy you thunder-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures right away!"

"Good boy, I know you don't take me to heart. With [-] million low-grade spiritual stones, you are already considered a rich man in this remote place. You actually call yourself poor?"

"I don't want to practice. When I become stronger, I can earn more money and buy you thunder-attributed treasures!" Gu Feng said with a grimace.

"You need something in exchange for your skills, otherwise there's no need to talk!" Zhu Qingyan shook her three leaves and said mercilessly.

"Okay!" Gu Feng curled his lips and said, this woman is hard to deceive!

The purple divine liquid was temporarily stored in the incense burner. Gu Feng opened his mouth and inhaled, absorbing the golden and milky white divine liquid into his body and began to refine it!

The surface of the body is shining with spiritual brilliance, the white jade bridge between the eyebrows is flashing and flickering, a thunderous roar is faintly heard in the body, waves are coming in waves, and the body and cultivation are improving at the same time.

......

In a restaurant outside the outer gate!

"Miss, are you finally awake?" Bao Xiaoli noticed the movement on the bed, opened his sleepy eyes, and shouted in surprise.

"Where is this place?"

"Luoxia Sect's Outer Gate Restaurant."

"Did you fish me out from the bottom of the lake?" Bao Shaoqiong looked at the unfamiliar room and asked in a low voice.

"Miss, please don't overthink it. Who hasn't experienced several painful failures in life?" Bao Xiaoli said quickly, fearing that Bao Shaoqiong would commit suicide again.

"After experiencing life and death, I have figured it out. Don't worry, I won't be overwhelmed by it anymore." After experiencing some things, Bao Shaoqiong seems to have opened up a lot.

"That's great, miss, are you hungry? I'll get something to eat!" Bao Xiaoli said happily with a happy face.

"I'm not hungry, I just feel itchy. Get me some hot water and I'll wash it off!" As he spoke, Bao Shaoqiong also scratched his back, which became more and more itchy.

"Uh-huh!"

After a while, a large wooden barrel was placed in the room. The mist was steaming inside the barrel, and a beautiful figure was bathing in it.

"Little Oriole, help me see what's on my back. It's so itchy!" Bao Shaoqiong felt that his back was more itchy than before while soaking in hot water.

"Oh!" Bao Xiaoli nodded obediently, came to the back of Bao Shaoqiong, took a closer look, and was stunned for a moment.

She saw a large area of ​​green and red on the young lady's back, and then she remembered that when she found the young lady last night, the banana leaf wrapped on her body was a plant with small thorns and was slightly poisonous. The reason why Bao Shaoqiong was Feeling itchy is a sign of skin poisoning.

"This bastard, a man who has suffered a thousand blows, actually used this kind of spiritual plant to wrap the young lady's body." Bao Xiaoli thought in his heart, but said: "It's nothing, just a little redness and swelling. Maybe the lake is not clean and the skin is infected. It will be fine after few days!"

"Oh, bring me a bronze mirror and let me see what's going on. The lake last night looked quite clear!" Bao Shaoqiong had some doubts and wanted to see what was going on on his back. .

"Don't look at it, it's really nothing!" Bao Xiaoli said weakly.

"Go and get it."

"Good lady!"

After getting the bronze mirror, Bao Shaoqiong stood up from the barrel. When he saw the green and red on his back, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with confusion.

"It seems like this symptom is caused by skin contact with a spiritual plant called 'Qingliu Banana Leaf'!"

"Yes, yes, there are many spiritual plants that caused this situation, not necessarily the 'Qing Liu Banana Leaf'." Bao Xiaoli twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and whispered.

"Perhaps some of these spiritual plants will produce this kind of green and red itching when they come into contact with the skin, but the only one that grows in Yun County is 'Qingliu Banana Leaf'."

Looking at Bao Shaoqiong's determined look, Bao Xiaoli cried silently in her heart. The young lady's knowledge is really too broad. What should I do? If she goes deeper, she may not be able to hide it anymore.

"That should be the place where the lady jumped into the lake. There happens to be a 'Qing Liu Banana Leaf' growing at the bottom of the lake." Bao Xiaoli lowered his head and whispered.

"'Qingliu Banana Leaf' is a land plant, how could it grow in a lake!" Bao Shaoqiong said speechlessly.

"Perhaps someone threw the 'Qingliu Banana Leaf' leaves into the lake, and they happened to be touched by the young lady." Bao Xiaoli suddenly came to an idea. Seeing Bao Shaoqiong's understanding expression, he laughed in his heart: "Little Oriole, little Oriole" , your IQ is still very high, you actually fooled a smart lady, you have a bright future, keep it up.

"No, 'Qing Liu Banana Leaf' is not very toxic, and the small thorns on the leaves are very short, not enough to pierce clothing. Unless it is close contact, the damage to exposed parts such as the wrists and face can be explained, but the back is absolutely impossible .”

Bao Shaoqiong's words made Bao Xiaoli's smile freeze on his face, his throat squirmed a few times, and for a while he couldn't get out even a single word.

After a few breaths, she thought of a way to deal with it: "Miss, actually... I saw that you were soaked last night. I was afraid that you would catch a cold and get sick, and there were no monks around, so I changed your clothes on the spot!"

While talking, Bao Xiaoli's eyes always stayed on Bao Shaoqiong's face, always paying attention to the changes in her expression.

"Could it be that you hung me on the 'Qing Liu Banana Leaf' to change clothes?" At this time, Bao Shaoqiong was also watching the change in Bao Xiaoli's expression, and she saw a hint of dodge in his eyes.

"It's not hanging on the tree, maybe it's a coincidence that there's a 'Qing Liu Banana Leaf' leaf on the ground!"

Bao Xiaoli lowered his head and seemed to be stuck in his words, which made Bao Shaoqiong suddenly suspicious.

Carefully recalling last night's scene in my mind, I vaguely felt as if someone had rescued me on the way, and then the other person groped her a few times before throwing her back into the lake.

Originally she thought it was an illusion, but now that she thinks about it, this feeling is so clear. Combined with Bao Xiaoli's expression, she can basically confirm that the process last night was not that simple.

"Still talking nonsense, how could such a coincidence happen? Where did my storage ring go?" Bao Shaoqiong said sharply.

"I found the young lady with Gu Feng's help. I took it upon myself to give him the storage ring as a reward!" Seeing that the young lady showed signs of getting angry, Bao Xiaoli had no choice but to tell Mr. Bao the story he had prepared. Joan listens.

"Then when you rescued me, was there anything abnormal about me?"

At this moment, she had basically guessed what happened. She originally wanted to ask Bao Xiaoli whether he was wrapped in the leaves of the 'Qingliu Banana Leaf' when he rescued her, but this sentence was too shameful to ask.

"No!" Bao Xiaoli said firmly.

"Well, find me a clean dress and bring me over. I want to go out and get some fresh air!"

......

After walking out of the restaurant, Bao Shaoqiong took Bao Xiaoli and went straight to the lake where they were last night.

As soon as he arrived here, Bao Shaoqiong began to look for the location of the 'Qingliu Banana Leaf'. This spiritual plant was found only one kilometer away in the entire lake.

Who has nothing to do and throws the picked leaves a kilometer away? Besides, there are so many secret places to change clothes that it is necessary to go a kilometer away? This basically rules out Bao Xiaoli’s outrageous statement.

"asshole......"

Bao Shaoqiong clenched her fists subconsciously, and a fire gradually rose in her chest. What happened last night formed a clear context in her mind.

Last night, someone discovered that he had jumped into the lake. He kept watching from the side and refused to save him. He waited until the other person felt that he had almost passed out, and then went into the lake to fish him out.

After taking it out, he took away all the storage rings and jade pendants on his body, including his coat and boots, leaving only his bellyband and lower trousers.

Later, he found that he was not dead, so he picked some leaves of "Qingliu Banana Leaf", wrapped himself in it, and threw it into the lake again.

This is scum! You must find him and give him a good beating.

Seeing the young lady clenching her fists, gritting her teeth, and looking uncertain, Bao Xiaoli asked tentatively: "Miss, when will we go home?"

"not going home!"

"Then why do you stay here?" Bao Xiaoli asked, blinking.

"Stay here..." Bao Shaoqiong hesitated, glancing at Bao Xiaoli beside him, a hint of anger appeared in his eyebrows.

How do I say this, that I stay here and find the person who robbed and blasphemed me?

Bao Shaoqiong's thoughts were running wildly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he finally thought of an excellent speech!

"Ahem, this alchemy conference made me experience the first disastrous defeat in my life. With this disastrous defeat, I really can't go home at ease.

Get up wherever you fall. I have to find a way to defeat Gu Feng and go back with victory! "

"By the way, you said you found me last night through Gu Feng's guidance?" In order to avoid Bao Xiaoli becoming suspicious, Bao Shaoqiong immediately changed the subject.

"Hmm!" When he mentioned Gu Feng, Bao Xiaoli immediately perked up: "Miss, let me tell you, last night I was looking for you aimlessly. This is not a good thing for me, an outsider who comes to Luoxia Sect for the first time. , it was too difficult. At this time, I happened to meet Senior Brother Gu...

He is such a good person. Not only did he accompany me to find you, he also sent spiritual power to the lady after he found you. He worked really hard..."

Bao Xiaoli said with beaming eyebrows, Bao Shaoqiong looked weird, and Gu Feng didn't look like the kind of warm-hearted person!

"Miss, Senior Brother Gu has been such a big help, should we come and thank him?" Bao Xiaoli said with shining eyes.

"Well, that's right!" Bao Shaoqiong was actually very afraid of meeting Gu Feng. Anyone was afraid of meeting someone who had ridiculed him before but defeated him.

However, in order to get an excuse to stay in Luoxia Sect to detect the thief, she had to go to Gu Feng!
