Chapter 143
Zhanpeng stood at the door of the teahouse, watching Jiang Qiongxing leave with a pale face, the more he thought about it, the worse he became.

He angrily turned around and went back to the private room upstairs, and grabbed the person who was drinking tea leisurely inside: "Bai Xiaosheng! You really have spread the news that Jiang Qiongxing is a miscellaneous spirit root to the whole Danyan Town? Why is she still so indifferent?"

Did this person work after taking the money?

He couldn't help wondering if he had been fooled.

"Hey, calm down," Bai Xiaosheng snatched back his collar from his hand, carefully put the tea that almost spilled back on the table, and said slowly, "Obviously, it's not that I didn't spread it enough, it's that the girl herself doesn't feel ashamed of miscellaneous spirit roots at all—the academy didn't prohibit cultivators of miscellaneous spirit roots from participating in the trial either."

Zhanpeng sat across from him, picked up his teacup and took a sip angrily: "You are so young, but you are so thick-skinned."

Bai Xiaosheng sighed: "You just have to get along with a little girl? How about this, I'll send a message now, let the people under my hand promote you as the most talented newcomer in recent years, and guarantee that there will be countless female cultivators showing affection to you soon, how about it?"

"What a fart, they can know that I lost to Guo Jiang Qiongxing after a little inquiry!" Zhan Peng said through gritted teeth.

"So what, haven't you been learning the mental method I gave you recently? When it comes to the trial meeting, you will have time to take revenge." Bai Xiaosheng said.

"No, it's too slow." Zhan Peng thought for a while, and said arrogantly and unreasonably, "In short, even if Jiang Qiongxing is just a miscellaneous spirit root, you can't say that she is not strong enough, otherwise I, who lost to her, would not be worse?"

Bai Xiaosheng: "...then I still have to praise her?"

He always felt that he was very patient with generous customers, but the request in front of him was too outrageous.

"Of course not." Zhan Peng looked at him contemptuously, as if questioning how he would say such a thing.

Bai Xiaosheng took a breath almost invisibly, calmed down his emotions, and squeezed out a smile: "...Then what do you mean?"

Zhanpeng raised Erlang's legs, leaned on the back of the chair, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and began to make a request: "We must let everyone in Tanyan Town know that she is very strong, but we must not make people like her because of it. It is best to let her be cast aside as soon as she goes out! Despise!"

Faced with such an unreasonable request, Bai Xiaosheng remained silent for a long time.

"Why? Can't it be done?" Zhan Peng shook his legs, looking at people with his nostrils, "How many spirit stones do you want, just tell me!"

As soon as you hear the word Lingshi, no matter how many difficulties you have, they will be turned into ashes.

Bai Xiaosheng showed a bright smile: "Okay, no problem, just wait and see."

……

On this day, Jiang Qiongxing was still quietly drawing amulets at home.

After several years of training, her control over intermediate talismans has become stronger and stronger, and her drawing level has steadily improved. The success rate of common talismans has now stabilized at around 80.00%.

But she was not satisfied with it - the more advanced the talisman, the more expensive the materials needed, and every loss is a spirit stone!

Even if it is a loss rate of one-fifth, a stingy Jiang Qixing will still feel heartache.

Therefore, every time she draws, she is very careful, for fear that any stroke will be mistaken and a piece of spiritual bamboo will be wasted.

The spirit beast blood full of aura soaked through the bamboo slices, leaving dark traces. Jiang Qiongxing controlled his own spiritual power and tried to distribute it evenly in every corner of the talisman.

Seeing that a piece of talisman was about to be completed, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open: "Little Qiong Xing!"

Jiang Qiongxing shook his hand, and flames exploded, devouring the discarded talisman.

"Oh..." She moved her aching arm and looked at the person, "What's the matter, A Tao?"

Since moving in, Shangguan Tao has also called her "Little Qiongxing", causing Jiang Qiongxing to worry that she will not grow taller if they call her.

Shangguan Tao walked in front of her, with an unhappy expression on his face: "Those Shuojin people are talking about you outside again."

Jiang Qiongxing chuckled nonchalantly: "Just let them say, I'm still afraid of being scolded?"

He didn't dare to scold her in front of her, it didn't hurt or itch.

Shangguan Tao's expression became a bit more confused, and he sat on another stone bench: "...they are not scolding you this time."

"Oh?" Jiang Qiongxing took out a new piece of spiritual bamboo, "Could it be that they are still praising me?"

"Hmm... yes..." Shangguan Tao struggled.

Now Jiang Qiongxing also felt strange: "Why? Conscience found out?"

"Although they are praising you, I always feel that something is wrong when I hear it," Shangguan Tao said, "I don't feel comfortable no matter how I listen to it."

Jiang Qiongxing pondered for a moment, then put down his pen: "I'll go take a look with you."

"It's at the teahouse in Shuojin, I'll take you there!"

Jiang Qiongxing followed Shangguan Tao to the familiar teahouse.

In order to prevent the other party from finding out that she was here and unwilling to tell her in front of her, Jiang Qiongxing ate a Yi Rong Pill on purpose and appeared with a different face.

As soon as he entered the door, the storyteller's resonant voice sounded: "This Jiang Nuxiu is very powerful..."

Very good, still talking about her.

Jiang Qiongxing found a seat and sat down without changing his face, waiting to hear what he would say about himself.

As a result, the other party did not elaborate, and then changed the subject, and began to despise those female cultivators who also came to participate in the trial, including but not limited to the number one beauty, Fairy Dongfang.

Jiang Qiongxing gasped: This is killing people!
Seeing that he has stepped down from his strength to his appearance, some people in the audience were dissatisfied: "What do you mean, this Jiang Qiongxing can still be as beautiful as Dongfang Yueling?"

The storyteller puffed up his chest and said loudly, "That's right! Nvxiu Jiang is only young, and in time she will definitely replace Dongfang Yueling's title of number one beauty!"

There were quite a few admirers of Dongfang Yueling in the audience, and they were very dissatisfied when they heard the words, accusing the storyteller of nonsense, and the rest of the nuns also looked displeased: "Where did Jiang Qiongxing come from, I have never heard of it, why did she suddenly become the number one beauty? There is no such thing as bragging..."

"That's right, I've heard people praising her every day these days. Who is this person, and why did he appear out of nowhere?"

"Say it's powerful, but don't say how powerful it is. Isn't it a miscellaneous spirit root? How powerful can it be?"

In the chaos, Shangguan Tao leaned over: "Look, am I right?"

Jiang Qiongxing sat in the corner, nodding silently.

If Shuojin scolded her, she wouldn't feel any pain, but if she let them push her down like this, I'm afraid she would have a hard time in the next trial meeting.

It's really hateful to hold a hand for her.

She pressed her forehead wearily, took out a communication symbol to find Liang Weisheng, and asked, "How can I contact Bai Xiaosheng?"
