Chapter 15 Li Xiuchang, No One Picks Up Lost Things on the Road
Li Xiuchang saw the middle-grade spiritual stone, but walked over as if he hadn't seen it.
When he was short of spiritual stones, he suddenly picked up a middle-grade spiritual stone on the road. Could this be too much of a coincidence?
Could it be a trap?
Moreover, the origin of this spiritual stone cannot withstand scrutiny at all.
Monks all use storage bags, but I haven't heard of anyone having a hole in their storage bag and spiritual stones falling out.
Even if you pick up a storage bag full of spirit stones, it is more reliable than picking up a medium-grade spirit stone alone.
Li Xiuchang had read too many conspiracies and schemes in various immortality novels, and easily thought of various possibilities.
He was not unmoved, but he repeatedly warned himself in his heart: Be patient and be steady!
People who can't control their greed often don't survive even one episode in those novels about underworld cultivating immortals!
Li Xiuchang didn't notice that there was someone watching him in the corner.
Zhang Wanzhi watched Li Xiuchang pass by without squinting, without stopping for a moment, and laughed in a low voice:
"He has a cautious temperament, a bit like Chen Wugui. But in this case, how can I deliver the spirit stone to him?"
Zhang Wanzhi thought Li Xiuchang was too slow in cultivation, so he thought of subsidizing him with some spiritual stones to help him start faster.
But who would have thought that Li Xiuchang was too careful and used the spirit stone as a trap without even touching it.
While Zhang Wanzhi was thinking about it, Li Xiuchang had already returned to No. 18, Donggeng District.
He was not at peace in his heart, and still couldn't forget the middle-grade spiritual stone.
"If the trap is aimed at me and you see that I haven't taken the bait, you should take the bait back. I'll go back later to see if the spirit stone is still there."
Li Xiuchang had an idea in his mind.
The middle-grade spiritual stone appeared not far from the entrance of Donggeng District. There were not many people living in Donggeng District. There were very few people coming and going on weekdays, and others were flying around in the sky, so Li Xiu often walked. go through.
Therefore, the probability of the spirit stone being discovered in a short period of time is low.
If he really disappeared, it was most likely a conspiracy against him.
However, Li Xiuchang felt that the possibility of targeting him was unlikely. After all, he was just an ordinary disciple who had just started, and he had no enemies with anyone in the sect. Who would bother to deal with him?
It can't be the pockmarked senior brother who was stabbed by him, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible... Li Xiuchang shook his head. It was impossible for a first-level talisman master to take out a middle-grade spiritual stone.
"Even if it's a trap, it should be aimed at the other four senior brothers in Donggeng District."
…
An hour later, Li Xiuchang pretended as if nothing had happened and passed by the entrance of Donggeng District again.
The middle-grade spiritual stone was still lying there quietly.
"It seems unlikely that this is a trap for me." Li Xiuchang thought to himself, but he still felt that there was something wrong with the spirit stone and did not pick it up.
After going around in a circle, he returned to his residence.
Zhang Wanzhi watched the whole process and said with some pride: "I thought you were really unmoved. Let's see how long you can endure it."
As a result, the next day, Li Xiuchang passed by again and still didn't pick up the spirit stone.
On the third and fourth days, it was still the same.
Li Xiuchang only passed by once a day, but he just didn't pick up the middle-grade spiritual stone.
On the fifth day, it snowed in Xianchen Sect.
The Immortal Dust Sect is located in the north of the Immortal Shadow Realm. Snow is not a rare thing. The snow more than a foot deep covered the middle-grade spiritual stones on the ground.
But Li Xiuchang passed by again despite the wind and snow, and kicked away the snow on the spiritual stone naturally and casually, but still walked straight past, as if he didn't notice the spiritual stone at all.
Zhang Wanzhi, who was observing in secret, couldn't hold back anymore when he saw this scene.
He originally wanted to see how long Li Xiuchang could endure before picking up the spirit stones, but now he couldn't help it anymore and lost his patience.
"I wasted five days just for a broken spirit stone!"
"You kid, you are so stubborn!"
"You and Chen Wugui can definitely talk to each other, you are just like a bastard in a shell!"
After he cursed and vented his emotions, he took a deep breath and decided not to wait any longer and to take action himself.
…
Li Xiuchang walked across the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, when a voice suddenly called him from behind.
"Junior Brother Li!"
When Li Xiuchang heard the voice, he knew it was Zhang Wanzhi. At the same time, his heart thumped, and he felt complicated for a moment.
Being so close, Li Xiuchang knew that Zhang Wanzhi would definitely find the middle-grade spiritual stone.
He guarded this spiritual stone for several days, just wanting to wait a few more days, and if there was no abnormality, he would take the spiritual stone into his pocket.
But now that Zhang Wanzhi saw it, his plan was disrupted.
For a moment, he was reluctant to part with the middle-grade spiritual stone, and he was also worried that Zhang Wanzhi would fall into a trap and be in danger if he picked up the spiritual stone.
Sure enough, Zhang Wanzhi exclaimed in surprise: "What is this?"
Zhang Wanzhi was extremely fast, or he might have lost his patience and was too lazy to act more. Before Li Xiuchang had time to remind him, Zhang Wanzhi had already picked up the middle-grade spiritual stone.
"I actually picked up a middle-grade spiritual stone! Junior Brother Li, did you drop it?"
Zhang Wanzhi's acting skills were a bit exaggerated at this time, but Li Xiuchang also had countless thoughts passing through his mind in an instant, but he didn't notice them.
He shook his head, indicating that he had not dropped it, and showed some annoyance, as if regretting that he had not seen it.
This was not entirely staged. When Zhang Wanzhi picked up the spirit stone, it seemed that nothing happened. Li Xiuchang would be lying if he said he had no regrets at all.
However, he still generously congratulated Zhang Wanzhi.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wanzhi smiled arrogantly: "Everyone who sees it has a share, you and I each have half."
After that, he took out fifty low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and stuffed them into Li Xiuchang's pocket.
Li Xiuchang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse in the end. First, he really needed spirit stones, and second, these were the spirit stones given to him by Zhang Wanzhi. Even if there were some hidden dangers on the middle-grade spirit stone, it had nothing to do with him.
Senior Brother Zhang was indeed generous... Li Xiuchang could accept this result completely.
Although the final harvest was half less, there was no need to take any risks.
Finally, Li Xiuchang accepted the fifty spirit stones. Zhang Wanzhi was a little tired, and left after a few words of greeting.
"It took five days to get this done. I should leave too. I hope that this kid will have made some progress when I come back."
Zhang Wanzhi shook his head and was about to fly away on his sword. Suddenly, he thought of something and rushed into No. 8, Donggeng District.
After a while, he came out carrying Lao Gui's body.
"Take his body with you. When his soul returns to its body, it will fall into my hands."
Zhang Wanzhi showed a proud smile on his face, stepped on the flying sword, held the old man in his hand, and disappeared in a flash of light.
At this time, Li Xiuchang was in a good mood with more than 50 spiritual stones in his arms. He hummed a little song all the way back to his residence.
Although he went to inspect the middle-grade spiritual stone every day for the past five days, he did not fall behind in the practice of the basics of spiritual cooking.
Now he has initially mastered some methods of processing spiritual food ingredients.
As expected, practicing spiritual cooking skills can indeed increase the length value, and the speed of improvement is much faster than practicing martial arts!
