180 Pill and Sword Cultivation
Dong Xi guessed that Kong Xing was probably studying formations, which was why he was so obsessed with earth element spirit stones.
“No need to be so polite, Young Master. We should be the ones thanking you,” said Dong Xi.
The two of them were polite for a long time. Dong Xi could not help but ask, “Little Master, are you a Buddhist cultivator?”
“That’s right, this little monk is a disciple of Great Thunder Temple’s Master Tonghui.” Kong Xing nodded and said, “May I know which sect Fairy is from? Who is your master?”
“I’m the disciple of Ningtian Sect’s Daoist Master Lingxu and Daoist Yijian,” Dong Xi said courteously.
When Kong Xing heard this, he was a little stunned. After thinking for a long time, he scratched his head and looked at Dong Xi, asking, “If I remember correctly, your sect’s Daoist Lingxu is an eighth-tier alchemist, and Daoist Yijian is a sword cultivator, right? Could it be that Junior Sister is cultivating both sword and alchemy?”
“That’s right,” Dong Xi said.
Dong Xi made preparations to listen to the little monk’s lecture on how to focus on one subject and not learn too many other subjects.
However, Kong Xing was a little excited as he said, “Junior Sister, when I cultivate Buddhism, I also cultivate formations. It’s rare to meet someone who cultivates two sects at the same time. Junior Sister, leave a spiritual breath for us to share our experiences in the future.”
When Dong Xi heard this, she said happily, “Good! Good! Was it Senior Brother’s main account that sent me the message that day?”
The honest Kong Xing was a little confused. “What’s a main account? I only have one spiritual breath!”
Dong Xi realized that she had said the wrong thing and said with a smile, “Ahem, ahem, let’s add each other as friends! I’m talking about spiritual breath.”
When Kong Xing heard this, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said, “That’s right, calling you a good friend is also right. In the future, Junior Sister and I will be good friends!”
When Dong Xi heard Kong Xing say this, she quickly took the opportunity to probe, “Senior Brother, what was that move you just used? How can it be so powerful that it can even break a Nascent Soul stage formation?”
After being praised like that, Kong Xing’s face turned a little embarrassed. He lowered his head in embarrassment and said, “This move is called ‘Stealthily Swapping Pillars’. It’s not very powerful, I only learned it by chance.”
Stealthily Swapping Pillars? If she learned this, wouldn’t there be no array to trap her in the future?
Just as Dong Xi was in deep thought, Kong Xing suddenly took out a few photostones and placed them in Dong Xi’s hands. Kong Xing said, “Junior Sister, if you encounter any different formations in the future, record it down for Senior Brother to see.”
Dong Xi also accepted it without any reservations. Dong Xi said, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I’ll definitely get it done for you.”
“If Senior Brother finds any pill formulas on the road of experience in the future, I’ll also help you keep them!” Kong Xing immediately added.
The two of them came to an agreement. Kong Xing was still busy with other missions, so he bade farewell and left.
Dong Xi saw that it was almost dawn, so she made an agreement with Liu Qing that she would let Liu Qing out when she returned to the cave abode. Only then did she put away the painting scroll.
Ah Leng thought that Dong Xi was about to leave, but he saw Dong Xi walk to pick up the old wooden bucket, and then take out a good bucket from the storage bag.
After finishing everything, Dong Xi walked towards Ah Leng.
“Let’s go, Ah Leng,” said Dong Xi.
Dong Xi looked at the thin and weak Ah Leng, and her tone became much gentler.
Ah Leng nodded. She looked at the village with a complicated expression.
Ah Leng had been in this village for a thousand years, watching the change of humans and the change of times. There were too many memories here, which made Ah Leng feel bitter sweet.
“Are you reluctant to part with this place?” Dong Xi asked.
“Let’s go!” Ah Leng said with a sigh.
Ah Leng left along the winding village, and Dong Xi immediately followed.
As the two of them left, the sky above the village was filled with dark clouds, and the drops of light rain seemed to be throwing stones to find the way.
The people in the village looked at the rain getting heavier and heavier. They suddenly felt strange and began to discuss.
“Why is it suddenly raining so heavily? It hasn’t rained like this in a long time!”
“That’s right. It has never rained like this since I could remember.”
“What’s going on?”
“We’ll go to the well to pray tomorrow. The fairy said it’s useful, so we’ll go there diligently. We can’t stop the incense!”
…
Dong Xi felt the rich water spiritual energy beside her and looked at the calm Ah Leng.
Dong Xi sighed a few times in her heart. This should be the last gift Ah Leng gave to the villagers.
A little light had already appeared on the horizon, and Ah Leng suddenly panicked.
Suddenly, an oil-paper umbrella opened on top of Ah Leng’s head. Seeing the little girl in front of him struggling to hold up the umbrella, Ah Leng’s eyes were full of smiles.
Ah Leng took the umbrella and said, “Give it to me.”
Dong Xi released her hand, then took out the little leaf from her storage ring and sat on it. She said to Ah Leng, “You’re going back with me? Or are you going to travel?”
