Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 18

Squatting on the roof and watching the fire from the other side, until the movement in the distance subsided, the fire was extinguished, and he couldn't watch the excitement. Chen Mou jumped down contentedly, and practiced in the yard for half an hour. twilight.

After morning class and breakfast, the morning sun hangs brightly on the treetops.

Chen Mou put his left hand in his sleeve, holding the ancient jade, his heart was extremely at ease, he still paid attention to walking while watching all directions and hearing all directions.

After passing the forest where he met the ghost yesterday, he took a few glances and then passed quickly.

On the streets of Fangshi, most of the monks who came and went were talking about the fierce battle to encircle and suppress the evil cultivators last night.

Chen Mou listened attentively all the way. The evil cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm raised ghosts and murdered the lives of casual cultivators.

Several courtyards were damaged in Fangshi, several Qi Refining Realm monks were injured, and so on.

There are a lot of hearsay and exaggeration, and everyone scrambles to express their hatred for evil cultivators.

Hearing the answer he wanted, Chen Mou felt more at ease. As for the missing ghost that the monks were worried about, he was not worried at all. The ghost had already been destroyed by him, but he could not announce it to the outside world.

Some casual cultivators with strong self-sustaining strength secretly decided to activate the protective formation of the courtyard residence, guarding against the ghost that is said to have a first-order perfect cultivation and damage the owner's short life. , the unlucky one can only be yourself.

Walking into the shop of Duanbinge, Chen Mou accepted the ancient jade, and bowed his hands to shopkeeper Hong as usual to say hello.

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and pretended he didn't know anything, and chatted a little.

When they came to the forging room, Xue Biao was sweeping the yard. The two simply nodded their heads as a greeting, and then went about their business without talking much.

Senior Brother Wan walked into the yard, and said perfunctorily to Xue Biao, who was warmly saluting, and shouted, "Junior Brother Chen, the East Square is haunted by ghosts, there was a lot of activity last night, do you know that?"

Chen Mou thought, not only do I know, I have also been haunted by a ghost.

He walked down the eaves steps to salute, before he could reply, he saw Master Zhong Shi Shiran appearing at the gate of the courtyard, he hurriedly bowed his hands to greet Master Zhong.

Master Zhong reprimanded Wan Lin for "making a fuss and not being steady", and walked into the drawing room in the middle of the east room.

After cleaning his hands, Chen Mou followed in and closed the door behind him.

Zhong Jin took the upper seat, motioned for Chen Mou to also sit, and said: "Last night, I tortured the remnant soul of the evil cultivator. He said that the female ghost he raised was killed by someone, which caught him by surprise, and he was injured by the backlash, so he didn't dare to act rashly and run away. , lurking in the residence and wanting to wait until late at night before escaping from Fangshi, but in the end they came to encircle and suppress."

Chen Mou pretended to be surprised and didn't believe it: "The female ghost has been exterminated?"

Zhong Jin said with a smile: "There are great hidden masters in Fang City, maybe they don't like the arrogance of female ghosts, so we can't get into it. Don't talk about it, just know it yourself. It will take two days , Fangshi will announce the news of the female ghost's death."

Chen Mou was very curious about how high the masters hidden in Fang City were?

Could it be a Jindan Realm cultivator?

How shameless, to compete with his Cangbi ancient jade for credit.

"Thank you Master Zhong, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and not spread any random news."

Chen Mou clapped his hands and answered with a sincere expression.

Fangshi suppressed the news of the extermination of the female ghost for two days before announcing it. Taking advantage of the situation, it was going to make a small fortune.

Zhong Jin took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve, pushed it in front of Chen Mou, and smiled warmly: "The three drawings you drew have been approved by the guests, and the praise has been added. The ninety spirit stones in the bag are the rewards you deserve." .”

After evading a few words, Chen Mou happily accepted a bag of Lingshi.

I sigh from the bottom of my heart that it feels so good to be rich.

Zhong Jin didn't stay long, and asked Chen Mou to practice drawing in the room. He went out to the opposite forge and left in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to do.

The next day, Chen Mou took a rest, and Xue Biao, who started work on the same day as him, played up his style and postponed his rest for three days.

Chen Mou walked into the lobby on the first floor of the foreign affairs workshop, and paid off the one-year rent, the loan of five spirit stones, and the cost of using advanced protective formations, a total of 77 spirit stones, and calculated the interest on one piece of Wude money.

As he wished, he took back the document with the bloody fingerprints on it, and after checking it was correct, Chen Mou simply asked about the price of the yard near the foot of the mountain in Fangshi, and he was speechless secretly. No matter how bad the small yard was, it would cost at least sixty spirit stones a year.

It's too heartbreaking, the spirit stones are not enough.

There are at least [-]% fewer monks coming and going on the streets of Fangshi than usual.

……

In the Taoist hall.

Affected by the evil cultivators, and thanks to the female ghost who has not yet "put down", there are [-]% more casual cultivators who come to inquire than usual, and they all have the same thoughts, use up the spirit stones at hand, learn more skills to protect Body is not a bad thing.

Chen Mou followed the crowd, listened to all kinds of weird questions, and finally chose a Master Zhang who had completed Qi Refining Realm and majored in Fire Art as his teaching mage to learn regular sound transmission, qi-watching, and breath-holding techniques. spells and fire spells.

Choose a Master Luo who has completed Qi Refining and majored in swordsmanship, as his swordsman to teach, to learn regular body skills, pile step skills, and improve his Jiugong swordsmanship.

In the Qi Refining stage, due to the limitations of mana and casting speed, most monks will take a minor in swordsmanship, knife technique or spear technique, and archery in order to improve their self-protection strength.

After handing over thirty spirit stones and receiving a bronze medal engraved with learning content, Chen Mou only had two Wude coins left in his pocket.

In the next two decades, we must save money, otherwise we will really eat dirt.

Come to study the Fa in the morning and the sword in the afternoon on every holiday. Come to study once every ten days, a total of 150 days. If you squeeze out the water, you will have [-] days of study time left. No matter whether you learn it or not, there will be no credit and Refund.

Lead by the staff into the backyard, along the corridor on the right to find Master Zhang walking back and forth at the door of a row of rooms.

After inspecting the bronze medal, Master Zhang took Chen Mou into one of the empty rooms, added his name, date and spells he practiced with a pen on the blank space of the house number, and told him that from now on, this small practice room will be used by him until Term ends.

Chen Mou took a closer look. There were more than a dozen names densely written on the house number, and there were morning sessions and afternoon sessions.

After a simple test of the magic weapon, Master Zhang carefully asked Chen Mou about the exercises he practiced and what spells he had learned. Knowing that the new rookie in front of him knew nothing but majoring in exercises, he directly taught him the sound transmission. Techniques, instructing Chen Mou on how to use Yuanli to gather sound, how to produce sound and other practical skills.

This is the simplest spell, you can learn it by reading a few more classics, spending three or two months pondering it, and practicing on your own.

It took Lingshi to study, and within an hour, Chen Mou had mastered the trick. Because of his low mana, he could only transmit sound for about two feet.

Master Zhang came back from a few laps outside, saw that Chen Mou had already learned the sound transmission technique, tested it, told him to practice it frequently, and taught the regular qi-watching technique, which is better than the wild way that casual cultivators figured out by themselves. comparative advantage.

Before looking at the qi, you must seduce your eyes, concentrate your mind, and practice step by step, so as to achieve the goal of "looking at the qi, eliminating the false and preserving the truth".

Otherwise, the qi-watching technique explored by casual practice will save the intermediate links of seductive eyes or concentrating the mind. Once the qi-watching technique is learned, it will leave irreparable defects in the future, and it will be too late to regret.

Chen Mou sighed in his heart, he came to the right place, and this spirit stone was well worth it.

It would be better if the tuition fee can be lower.

He is now so poor that he is exhausted in every direction, his eyes are green, and everything he sees looks like a spirit stone.
