"Then why don't you guys stay at home these two days? I don't think it's an accident. It's probably...well, I don't think you understand. Seeing how winking we are, we didn't bother you."

"Just because of our empathy, are you refining two more spiritual artifacts in the past two days? The appointments for refining artifacts from you are almost scheduled for next year, and you don't want yourself to be in debt, do you?"

Regarding the misunderstanding of Bai Shanqing and Xia Heng's performance, Ji Shien wanted to make a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, but he was worried that these two guys would play jokes in front of Chi Moran without knowing it, and make him explode The hair is not good, so I have to reluctantly express that I haven't even bit the cat hair in my mouth yet.

"It's not easy, just let the cat bite you obediently." Bai Shanqing's brows and eyes were crooked, but his pure and innocent expression didn't match what he said at all.

As far as Ji Shien's idiot looks, let alone dog hair, it is estimated that eating dog meat is a matter of minutes, or the kind that is cooked carefully and even sprinkled with seasonings.

Ji Shien: "..."

It would be great if the master could come to eat, he would definitely cooperate and take the initiative to serve himself on the table, but—hey, it would hurt my self-esteem to say it.

What did he have to say to this couple who abused Wang all the time and didn't think it was a big deal.

……

After letting the gossip duo leave, there are only two Ji Shien and Chi Moran left in the shop.

Different from being a lucky cat on a billboard and purely being a mascot before, Chi Moran is idle and bored, so he also helps to greet the guests.

Ji Shien always feels a little embarrassed about this... Let the owner help to look after the store, the two guys Bai Shanqing and Xia Hengyan should be paid an extra temporary salary, he doesn't ask much, um, ten. Spirit fish is enough.

Chi Moran thought nothing of it, and entertained the monks who came and went with a smile, thinking it was quite interesting.After all, the monks have various requirements, and they often have amazing words in terms of aesthetics, which makes Chi Moran feel very knowledgeable every time.

In fact, the location of "Qingyan" is not the best, not that it is not conspicuous enough, but it is not far from the store, which is the shop of the refining door and the forging sect. It can be said that this shop specializing in refining Several companies got together accidentally, and in terms of qualifications, "Qingyan" is the most shallow one.

However, the business in the shop was not affected by this. Chi Moran secretly compared in his heart. Among these several refining shops, the number of monks who came to "Qingyan" was not the most, but few returned empty-handed.

This is probably the reason for the high quality.Even some cultivators who only trust old brands and don't buy spiritual weapons that have not been produced by the refining school for many years will remember the name "Qingyan" after they step into the store and take a look around.

Chi Moran saw such an example with his own eyes.

Two young monks came in, they looked like brothers and sisters, the older one was full of impatience, pursed the corners of his lips and said nothing, while the younger one explained with a smile: "Okay, let's all come in , just take a good look around... These days you have been only going to the front one, running every day to see if it has any new products, let alone spirit weapons, I have memorized all the furnishings of his house. This What's the point, whether you're tired or not, it's better to shop around."

"Little brother, you don't understand. Appearance is not important. The most important thing in choosing a weapon is whether it is easy to use."

"I know, but since I can be invited by the Beast Sect to participate in the rally, and it's on such a golden road, it's definitely not bad. Think about it, don't you?"

"That can't be compared. That shop is opened by the Artifact Refining Sect. It is said that the art of artefact refining has been passed down for more than [-] years. All the items on display are the proud works of the elders in the sect. They are very reliable. My parents' elders All the weapons are from his family, so it doesn’t look like this shop...it seems to have a reputation since my father’s generation.”

In the end, the voice of the other party was lowered a bit, but the people present were all monks, so their hearing was not bad, so how could they not be able to hear... Ji Shien paused when he was going to greet him, so he simply pulled Chi Moran to let him go He didn't move either, and continued to sit and squint his eyes to bask in the sun.

——Well, such a sunny and warm afternoon is the most suitable for a lazy nap.

Chi Moran is not a "Qing Yan" person, but because of Ji Shien's relationship, he is obviously partial, and he feels a little uncomfortable when he hears the other party say this, so he simply lets them hang around, anyway, listening to the disdainful meaning of the other party's words, They definitely won't buy anything... No, maybe, as long as the other party has vision.

Sure enough, after a while, he heard the other party's surprised voice: "How do you sell this spirit sword?"

Chi Moran raised his eyes to look over, and it was the impatient brother who spoke just now, but now his expression was different from before, looking at the flying sword on the shelf, his eyes were shining.

Then Ji Shien smiled and said: "This one is considered the best batch in our store, and it costs five middle-grade spirit stones."

The sword is a good sword, even at this price...it's not cheap enough.Even though he is a child of a big cultivator, he still feels very painful.

"Can't it be cheaper?"

Ji Shien suddenly showed a polite yet awkward smile: "I am only in charge of refining the weapon, and the price is set by the shopkeeper, and cannot be changed randomly."

"Ah, is this sword made by you? Disrespect, disrespect..." The other party's attitude suddenly became polite, and then became a little frustrated.Well, how can he bargain in front of the craftsman? Doesn't this mean that this spirit sword is not worth so many spirit stones?

If this wasn't a good sword, wouldn't it be worse than the one he saw in the shop of the Artifact Sect before.

He hesitated for a while, then took down the spirit sword and tried to swing it again, but after this trial, he never wanted to put it back again, finally gritted his teeth, took out the storage bag and was about to take out the spirit stone, It's expensive, but it's worth it.

"Brother, are you just paying for the spirit stone? Aren't you..."

The little brother standing next to him was obviously a little confused. His senior brother watched it for so many days, and said to wait every time to see if there was a better one. In the end, he came to this store for a while and didn't spend much. The time, is it set now?

It was his turn to feel unbelievable, a little uncertain.After all, he was the one who dragged his senior brother here, and five middle-grade spirit stones is not a small amount. If the senior brother regrets it later, he won't ask him to settle the score, right?

"I can't afford not to pay, I can't bear to let it go... Even if I don't buy it now, I will definitely come tomorrow. If someone else buys it, I will lose money."

The martial art competition is coming up soon, and at this time, he urgently needs a good flying sword in his hand, so that he can better display his strength and stand out from the crowd of disciples.

……

After sending the other party out, Chi Moran saw them stop and looked up at the shop name on the plaque.

"Hey, brother, you have to thank me, otherwise, if you only guard the shop of the Artifact Sect, you might still be hesitant after the rally is over."

"Okay, I owe you a favor." Even when he returned to the street, the senior brother still held the spirit sword and couldn't put it down, "I really didn't expect that this store is so inconspicuous, and the spirit weapons on display are better than each other." Well, there is also the cultivator of the weapon refiner. I think his skills are much better than those elders of the weapon refiner. It is a pity that the spirit stones on me are only enough to buy a spirit sword, otherwise it would be too expensive to buy other auxiliary items. OK……"

And this isn't the first time this has happened these days.

What Chi Moran didn't know was that this achieved the main purpose of Bai Shanqing and Xia Heng's performance: to become famous.Otherwise, where to make money is not to make money, why do you have to go so far, that is because although "Qingyan" is well-known in the cultivation world, most of the popularity and good reputation are concentrated in the area near them, and the monks in the distance are just there. It's just a general impression, that is, only monks who are well-informed know that they are good.This obviously does not satisfy them. They hope that when it comes to refining weapons in the future, monks will think of their shop first. No matter what, they have to contract half of the refining business in the cultivation world, especially the business of high-grade spiritual weapons.

——Don't think they don't know, when that guy Ji Shien gets serious, his refining speed is simply inhuman...well, although he wasn't human in the first place.

Of course, in addition to this, they have also made a lot of money along with the Lingshi during this period of time, making a steady profit.

After Chi Moran went back, he couldn't help but joked to Ji Shien: "It seems that this meeting will make your reputation great."

Although it seemed that Ji Shien had achieved a certain reputation before this, it is obvious that after this time, he can reach another level.

However, Ji Shien looked at Chi Moran, and shook his head slightly melancholy: "What's the use of my reputation, it's not what I want in my heart." Otherwise, if it's just for fame and wealth or the feeling of being sought after With his real cultivation base, he can completely stir up troubles in the current cultivation world.

Chi Moran froze for a moment, then shut his mouth, thinking that he was lifting a rock and shooting himself in the foot.Ji Shien's eyes were too obvious, and he probably understood the meaning of the words, but he didn't know how to answer them at all... So taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the store at the moment, he finally walked around the door as if nothing had happened.

Coincidentally, just after he left here, someone from the shop of the Artifact Refining Sect also came out to look at the situation here, probably because they noticed that the regular customers who hadn't bought anything from them before came from "Qing Yan" happily. He went out with the spirit sword, so he wanted to check it out, but when the other party saw him, he paused, turned around and ran back directly, like avoiding a snake or a scorpion.

This made Chi Moran look helpless, and felt that his expression was actually very friendly, so he turned back and poked Ji Shien in confusion: "You see your business is so good, the monks of the Artifact Sect are very angry when they see me His face turned red, he turned around and left." This was really the first time he experienced this experience in his life.

Ji Shien smiled and said nothing.Blushing?Why didn't he know that the master's face had such a powerful mocking effect?Just don't be so surprised that you blush.

As a competitor, he has also been popularized by Bai Shanqing and Xia Heng. He knows who is in the other store, and no one in the store is so bad at nourishing qi. He can blush when he sees the loss of a customer.

Alas, what to do if Xinshangmei is too popular, this is also a kind of sweet distress.

……

Soon, Ji Shien felt the effect of his crow's mouth.

At the end of the day's rotation, when they closed the shop and returned to the temporary residence, they found someone waiting in front of the door early.

It was none other than the little disciple who gave catnip before.Ji Shien was a little depressed. He just thought that the master's popularity was a kind of distress. Did this rival come here? It's really a good but not a bad spirit.

After seeing Ji Shien, Qi Xunji subconsciously wanted to find the cat from his arms. He was a little disappointed when he didn't see it at first, and then he noticed Chi Moran beside him. Feeling happy, probably guessed Chi Moran's identity.

After all, no matter Chi Moran's original form or human form, his fundamental aura has not changed.

"It's so late, is something wrong?"

"No...well, that, I saw the catnip was sent back... May I ask if you don't like it?"

Facing Chi Moran who had turned into a human form, Qi Xunji became even more nervous.Different from the soft and harmless meow form, Chi Moran's human form is much higher than Qi Xunji's.If it was said that the other party squatted down and looked at Chi Moran last time when he was meowing, then this time it was Chi Moran who lowered his head and looked down at him.

It's more than just not liking, it's just gnashing of teeth.While thinking, Chi Moran secretly ground his teeth.But looking at the frustrated look of the other party, he couldn't say anything else, so he nodded as a tacit consent.

"Then my side... By the way, I have dried small fish." His eyes lit up, "It tastes good."

"No, then I won't accept it." Chi Moran smiled softly, but felt his heart was bleeding, ah, he actually rejected his favorite, "Although I am very grateful for your kindness, but... Don't give me anything, okay?"

Chi Moran tried to make his tone more tactful and gentle, while expressing the meaning of his refusal.

Qi Xunji was taken aback when he heard the words...a little sad, but gradually he let out a sigh of relief.

After realizing that he was completely rejected, he relaxed instead. After a moment of silence, he said nervously, "Then may I ask, do you really dislike catnip?"

Chi Moran nodded without hesitation.

Qi Xunji smiled embarrassedly: "Well, then I will tell my brothers and sisters when I go back, so that they don't have to bother preparing catnip."

Chi Moran: "...?"

Only then did he realize that Qi Xunji was not the only disciple who came here to improve his sense of presence, but the others did not have suitable catnip on hand, and only Qi Xunji had stock in hand, so he was the first to try it up.

Chi Moran clutched his forehead and felt a little heartbroken. What happened to the disciples of the Beast Sect, are all of them bewitched—(:з"∠)—

After returning to the room, Chi Moran always felt that Ji Shien was a little listless.

——To be precise, from Ji Shien's point of view, he felt a little sour in his heart, but he didn't seem to have the position to be jealous.

Then Ji Shien turned into a big dog in the next moment, and looked at Chi Moran carefully and aggrieved.

Chi Moran was a little surprised, he hadn't seen this guy change into his original form for a long time.He hesitated for a moment, and waved tentatively. Zhu Wang immediately came over and lay down at his feet, whimpering indistinctly from his throat, appearing very depressed.

Seeing such a big dog, Chi Moran couldn't help but reach out and stroke his head.

After a while, he sighed and said to himself: "I don't think Qi Xunji really likes me. We almost never get along. He just saw my original shape. He loves Wuji because he likes cats... Yes. It’s a very childish feeling.”

"His brothers and sisters should be like this too. If I am not a cat myself, it won't be like this."

"Yu Beast Sect, what a group of amazing people."

——Although, he didn't know why he wanted to comfort Ji Shien, but he always felt that something was weird?

Chi Moran frowned, and suddenly wanted to take back what he had just said.

On the contrary, it was Ji Shien, who received Chi Moran's pat to kill, and heard Chi Moran's words, squatted on the ground and smiled instantly, and let out a cheerful "Wow".The stupid way of wagging his tail made Chi Moran withdraw his claws in disgust.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was time for this monk gathering to end.

Just like at the beginning, Yushoumen gathered everyone together again and held a grand ceremony, but it was a little simplified.

Ye Shuyin explained in a low voice: "As the biggest host of the Beast Sect, we have exchanged a lot of things in this gathering, and the inventory of spirit stones has decreased a lot. Of course, we are reluctant to spend it like that."

As he spoke, he sighed, obviously feeling sorry for the fact that the Lingshi hadn't been used for alchemy... But after all, he also got a lot of benefits from this gathering.

After the ceremony, the monks left one after another, and Chi Moran and Ji Shien also took the opportunity to say goodbye to Ye Shuyin.

Ye Shuyin wanted to invite them to stay in the beast gate for a longer period of time, but both of them refused.

Ye Shuyin, as one of the elders in charge of this gathering, still had a lot of follow-up matters to deal with, so he couldn't get away. He thought about it, so he gave a lot of pills to Chi Moran and Ji Moran as parting gifts. Shi En, all of them are newly refined by him recently, and the efficacy of the medicine is absolutely guaranteed.

Really couldn't refuse, so Chi Moran and Ji Shi'en had no choice but to accept it.

After reuniting with Bai Shanqing and Xia Hengyan who had already packed up the temporary shop, Chi Moran looked around at the Yushoumen Gate, which had become empty again, and felt that this period of time was like a bizarre dream.

"Then where are we going next?" Ji Shien came over secretly.

"Of course I'm going home." Chi Moran gave Ji Shien a strange look, and replied without thinking.

"Ahem, what I mean is, since we've already made a round here... why don't we go to my cave again?"

Chi Moran glanced at him: "I can actually go back by myself..." It would be nice to go back to each house like this.

"No, that's not okay, in case you change back halfway... In addition to the spirit fish I mentioned before, the scenery in my cave is also very good. It can be regarded as a tourist." Ji Shien persevered, trying to use All kinds of tricks tempt Chi Moran, and he sells Amway very hard.

Chi Moran wasn't worried about anything else, but he couldn't refute Ji Shien's statement that he might change back halfway.Think about it, if he suddenly changed from a human to a meow on the train, the scene would be so beautiful that he couldn't bear to imagine... he would definitely be caught as a monster first.

And it will definitely cause commotion at that time, and that will be his fault.Due to the reason of taking the half-finished Xingdan, Chi Moran didn't dare to bet too much on the probability of this possibility happening.

Bai Shanqing and Xia Hengyan noticed the movement here, and after figuring out what was going on, they couldn't help but interrupt.

"Fellow Daoist Chi, why don't you drop by with us? We are not far from Ji Shien's cave, so let us entertain you."

"Don't bother you so much."

"Where is the trouble..."

Bai Shanqing is worthy of Ji Shien's evaluation of the black-hearted little white rabbit before, the skin is white, the inside is black-bellied, the first two sentences Chi Moran can still politely refuse, but after being circumvented by him twice, Chi Moran doesn't know what he is. Why did he agree in the end, and by the time he realized it, the words had already been spoken.

The deal was done, Chi Moran estimated the fatness of his manuscript box, and finally agreed.

Ji Shien was very happy, and even watching Bai Shanqing and Xia Heng's performance was very pleasing to the eye, and it had a beauty effect... This is a good friend, and he will never forget this assist.

……

The means of travel chosen by Bai Shanqing and Xia Hengyan are similar to those of Ye Shuyin, and they are also in the form of self-driving travel. Obviously, this is the most popular way of travel among monks.

For this, Chi Moran couldn't help but glance at Ji Shien, an outlier.

The itinerary along the way is very easy, stop and go, eat and drink... until I finally arrived at the natural tourist scenic spot in F City.

Chi Moran was dumbfounded again.

"You usually live in the scenic area?"

"Yes." It was Bai Shanqing who answered him, "After all, all the places with beautiful mountains and rivers have been developed by mortals, and we are not willing to let it go."

This point, Yushoumen is different from them. The suburb where they live is actually not very beautiful, but they have hidden caves in the mountain, so they don't need to worry about it so much.

"But in fact, we all have houses in the city, and we live there no differently from ordinary people, but our roots are here."

Chi Moran nodded, expressing that he understands that monks have a little habit of always liking to live by the mountains... Speaking of which, I don't know where this habit came from in the first place. Could it be that the first generation of monks felt that living in The mountain looks different from ordinary people, more immortal?

Not knowing that what Chi Moran was thinking about had gone astray, Ji Shien quickly answered: "Yes, if you are not used to living here, there are still several places you can choose."

"Besides, like the Beast Control Gate, there is also a blindfold here. It doesn't matter if there is a little movement, and there is no need to be very restrained."

Chi Moran maintained a numb attitude, bid farewell to Bai Shanqing and Xia Hengyan in the scenic area, and then teleported to a cave in a beautiful green mountain with Ji Shien.

It was still an antique arrangement, Chi Moran looked around curiously, but found it inexplicably familiar.

He couldn't help frowning: "You are here, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere."

Ji Shien suddenly felt extremely pleasantly surprised, and said a little nervously and awkwardly: "...some places here are more similar to the layout of your cave." Although the difference in scale is not 01:30, it is of the highest quality. He doesn't have the arrogance to carve stones casually as decorations, but he is indeed trying to reproduce them.

Sometimes, he would even imagine the scene when he was still with his master.

"Can you recall anything?"

Chi Moran thought for a moment, then shook his head.He did feel familiar, but that was all.

Ji Shien was not discouraged, and comforted Chi Moran to take his time, and took him to visit every house in his cave—of course, he deliberately avoided the one where the catnip was stored, otherwise he was afraid that he and the catnip would Only one of the two can exist.

The most important thing to visit was the pond with many spirit fish that he had mentioned to Chi Moran before.

The water quality is crystal clear in the big square pool. There are many spirit fishes of different sizes swimming in it, and there is a faint spiritual energy escaping from it. Let alone eating, just looking at it makes Chi Moran feel This should be delicious.

But probably because of the instinct of the fish, as soon as he approached, the fish that were originally swimming leisurely and leisurely were startled, and they rushed like running for their lives without thinking. Chi Moran saw with his own eyes how many He rushed too far and hit the wall of the pool before he could stop in time, and then passed out straight up.

Chi Moran twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help guessing what it would be like if he changed his original shape and approached the pool.

Ji Shien simply used a spell to fish out the fainted fish, and laughed out loud: "At first I was thinking about which fish to start with, but now I don't need to choose, just these few Well, just right."

Chi Moran suddenly felt that he felt sorry for these stupid fish that were about to enter the stomachs of both of them, um, just a little bit.

After putting the fish away, Ji Shien took Chi Moran to see the room where the spirit stones were stored as he mentioned earlier... although the owner didn't seem to be very interested in it all the time.

But for Chi Moran, it was quite a miraculous scene to see the exquisite storage bags piled up layer by layer covering most of the room.After all, a storage bag can hold a lot of things, but the storage bags are piled up like this, one can imagine how many things there are.

After being surprised, Chi Moran wanted to leave. He was still thinking about the fish from before. Compared with the spirit stone, of course the spirit fish was more attractive to him.But Ji Shien took out an unusually exquisite storage bag from nowhere, and said with some nostalgia: "This is the storage bag you left me back then, and I still keep it."

Chi Moran curiously took the storage bag from Ji Shien's hand, looked around, and even an ignorant person like him could realize that this thing did not look ordinary.But he always felt that there was something in the storage bag that was attracting him, was it an illusion?

"I think there seems to be something in it." He chose to ask Ji Shien first.

Ji Shien shook his head: "No, when the master gave it to me, it only contained some spiritual stones, pills, and spiritual plants, and I took them out later."

"But I feel it does."

Now even Ji Shien was puzzled.

Chi Moran thought for a while, but still couldn't resist the strange feeling in his heart: "I'll try."

As he said that, he put his hand into the storage bag, which felt empty at first, but soon, his hand touched something - there was an inner bag inside.

When he stretched out his hand from the storage bag, Chi Moran had a sword in his hand.He looked at the sword blankly.

Ji Shien was also very surprised, he looked at it carefully: "This is your flying sword."

Ji Shien barely recognized it, but was not familiar with it.After all, this is the spiritual weapon of Miaoxian before his ascension... In other words, since becoming Miaoxian, with the strength of the master, he no longer needs it. He has successfully survived the catastrophe, and he himself is the best weapon .

Since being picked up, Ji Shien has never seen the master use this sword. Perhaps the biggest function is to remember it?

Ji Shien was a little surprised. At the beginning, the owner released the restriction and allowed him to use the storage bag freely, but after so many years, he didn't even know that there was an inner bag, let alone something inside.

But it is only natural, after all, Miaoxian is the real owner of this storage bag, even if the restriction is lifted, he is just a "guest" to this thing, and it is impossible to touch the inner bag.And he kept this storage bag carefully all the time, it was more like treating a kind of thought, and he had never explored it carefully, let alone know it.

Moreover, the master gave him the storage bag at that time only on a temporary basis. He clearly remembered that when the master took the storage bag away, he suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a while, as if he wanted to take it back, but finally gave it to him: "I raised you because I have a destiny with you. I just wanted to give you some spirit stones and pills...but maybe this thing is also a destiny with you."

He originally thought that the so-called "this thing" should refer to the storage bag, but he never thought about it, but it meant something else... But also, for the owner, there is no hesitation about a mere storage bag, even if it is It's not worth it even if it's a high-grade spiritual weapon. The precious thing is obviously something else, but it's a pity that he is too stupid to think about it.

And according to the current situation, this flying sword is not destined to be with him, it is clearly back in the master's own hands.

After Chi Moran took the flying sword, which was quiet at the beginning, there was a gradual movement. First, the sword body shook slightly, and then the sword whistled softly.

Chi Moran was a little flustered, he didn't know what to do with this flying sword, he wanted to put it down, but he didn't expect that it seemed to have spirituality, and he couldn't let go of it at all.
