Chapter 36: Saving Money in Small Ways
Chapter 36: Saving Money in Small Ways
"Your martial arts..." Feng Budu hesitated to speak.
He hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of deep worry in his doubt, "Is it..."
At the same time, there was a hint of weirdness in his expression, and the way he looked at Qin Baiqing became complicated.
"What is it?" Qin Baiqing transmitted wood-type spiritual power to him and stopped when she felt it was enough. She asked casually as if she didn't care.
However, Feng Budu's next voice made Qin Baiqing freeze for a moment, and a dark light flashed quickly in his eyes.
Feng Budu asked hesitantly, "Does your technique require the power of the five elements, but you can't control it when using it, and the moves are random?"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Baiqing, who was facing away from Feng Budu, looked cold, and his childish eyes were filled with unpredictable emotions.
She was very confused.
My mother told me that no matter what martial arts I practice, I must not let outsiders know too much, otherwise I would be handing my life over to someone else.
But Feng Budu is a good person...
Without someone around her who could give her advice, Qin Baiqing was struggling for an unusually long time, caught in the dilemma of whether or not to "get rid of" Feng Budu.
After a long time, she puffed her cheeks helplessly and chose to trust her intuition.
Feng Budu is a good person who just helped me!
At worst... when I find signs that he is betraying me, I will get rid of him!
She thought her idea was really great, so she regained her happiness and asked with wide eyes, "How did you know?"
"It is true." Feng Budu's eyes instantly became full of pity.
He was amazed and explained to Qin Baiqing: "Five hundred years ago, before you were born, this technique was once popular in the hands of a great Mahayana master."
"He is very powerful?!" Qin Baiqing became interested instantly.
She was expectantly waiting for Feng Budu to tell her some heroic deeds, but Feng Budu just shrugged and said, "I used to be great, but..."
After the past, there must be a turning point.
Feng Budu sighed and said, "But later on, his brain stopped working and he thought he had obtained some rare technique. When he was in the Mahayana stage, he chose to abandon his cultivation and practice this technique again."
"And then."
"Then..." Feng Budu shook his head and gave a very hasty ending.
"Of course it's because this technique is too random. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can't defeat him and die."
"Ah... I don't like this story, please stop talking about it."
Qin Baiqing was frustrated for a moment and said dissatisfiedly.
Seeing that there was even more pity in Feng Budu's eyes, as if he had already seen his own untimely death, Qin Baiqing became even more unhappy.
She patted herself solemnly and said crisply, "I won't die. I have a magic weapon with me. I am different from the person you are talking about."
That person said he died from practicing martial arts. It must be because he was too inexperienced, and it had nothing to do with the martial arts technique!
He had the magic weapon given to him by his mother, as well as a lot of fruits, so he could kill his enemies even if he smashed them.
She made a solemn promise, but in Feng Budu's eyes, this sentence would be Qin Baiqing's epitaph.
Finally, he glanced at the figures passing by in the distance with a complicated look, and began to think seriously that he seemed to have... followed the wrong person.
This is not a stupid one.
The spiritual fruit on this woman's body is indeed very important to him, but in the world of cultivation, spiritual fruits are easy to find but hard to find for fools.
If he looks for it again, he can always find another spiritual fruit. But if he doesn't shake Qin Baiqing off and continues to follow her, he will be infected by the two idiots, which is really not worth it.
It will be too late if you don't run now! Seeing Feng Budu's eyes becoming more complicated and no longer doting on her, Qin Baiqing felt a sense of crisis and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
As a human cub, her perception is surprisingly sharp and she can quickly detect the attitudes of those around her.
Just like Zuo Fanyu and Li Ziwen’s unconditional doting on him...the person in front of him seemed to be disgusted with him!
The source of disdain seems to be this useless martial art.
Qin Baiqing does not allow anyone to look down on her martial arts. The Wordless Book is the best handkerchief in the world!
Her eyes immediately became stern, and she solemnly defended the handkerchief.
The way to choose is to take out five spiritual fruits with different properties from your arms at a time, put them into your mouth one by one with a firm look, and chew them until your cheeks bulge.
He was still proving to Feng Budu in a vague voice: "As long as I eat five fruits at a time, I can level up steadily!"
With a gulp, the fruit was swallowed, and her aura rose to the fourth level of foundation building.
Seeing Feng Budu's dull expression, she thought he still didn't believe it, so she said solemnly: "And the moves can also be controlled!"
"As long as you eat the spiritual fruit of the desired attribute before making a move, you can use the moves you want!"
Feng Budu was completely stunned.
He began to collapse silently when Qin Baiqing ate five fruits in one breath, four of which were wasted.
Finally, after hearing Qin Baiqing say that every time he made a move, he needed to be awakened by the fruit, he said in complete despair:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you are so rich!"
His face turned green and his eyes were full of incomprehension. Qin Baiqing, who was rich but unaware of it, broke his psychological defenses of poverty.
"What's wrong with having money?" Qin Baiqing asked puzzledly.
"If you have money, you can buy tokens. Why bother participating in competitions?"
Nowadays, there are actually second-generation repairmen who have huge sums of money in their pockets but personally participate in competitions to save these small amounts!
However, his self-evident attitude made Qin Baiqing feel even more confused.
Her eyes were clear, but at this moment they widened in disbelief, as if a new world had opened up to her. "Is it still possible to buy tokens?"
"Of course!" Feng Budu regained some confidence, raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I come to every Hundred Sects Competition, and have sold it several times. I can make a lot of money every time!"
When the Hundred Sects Competition begins, there is no restriction on independent cultivators entering.
It is useless for individual cultivators to have tokens, so over time, an industrial chain has been formed.
Or perhaps before entering the Immortal King Mountains, some independent cultivators had already negotiated cooperation with the sect and purchased exclusively.
There are also pure independent cultivators like myself who come and go freely. Once they get the token, they can sell it to whoever offers the highest price and make a lot of money!
His original intention was to show off and make Qin Baiqing admire his rich experience.
But Qin Baiqing looked him up and down in astonishment, and exclaimed: "You have been here several times, but the competition only takes place once every thousand years... You are already thousands of years old, but you are still at the foundation-building stage. How amazing!"
Every word was like a heavy punch, once again shattering Feng Budu's fragile defense.
He spat out a mouthful of blood silently, and heard Qin Baiqing continue to sigh:
"For someone your age, this level of cultivation is indeed incredible. Do you sometimes feel that you are too inexperienced?"
"...Me?" Feng Budu pointed at himself in despair.
I was actually looked down upon by a five-year-old child, and it seemed that I really had no reason to refute!
Feng Budu fell into a trance, and his spirit seemed to be broken by Qin Baiqing's blow.
Then a beam of spiritual light overflowed from Feng Budu, who was in a trance. Gradually, he seemed to have an epiphany, and a powerful spiritual energy burst out from his body from the inside out.
Qin Baiqing, who was watching on the side, was unfortunately knocked away.
A goose yellow figure disappeared into the sky, and only Feng Budu, who had suddenly realized something, was left in his place.
