Chapter 20

“So I began to deliberately distance myself from them.

And learned a new spell.”

Qian Xiaoyue said immediately afterward.

“A new spell? What spell?”

tan san was stunned.

“Listening Spell.

It is a special class of spells that can listen to the movements around.”

Qian Xiaoyue explained and continued, “With the help of this spell, I was able to hear their conversations from time to time.

Only then did I realize that every time before they strike, they would make preparations and inquire a lot of information about their targets in advance, confirming that there were no master elders, powerful friends or relatives before they would actually strike.

Half a year ago, because I deliberately distanced myself from them and became much more rusty and cold, I heard Wang Xifeng list me as the target of their attack.”

When tan san heard this, he immediately glanced at Qian Xiaoyue.

Rather, he knew that this listening technique could never be as simple as to listen to corners.

When cultivators go out, there are many crises, if they have this spell of Listening Technique, they will be able to hear the movements in advance and discover many potential dangers, which is still extremely useful.

Qian Xiaoyue didn’t pause and continued, ”Maybe before, they had already discussed this issue, just that they didn’t know what reason to give up.

After I heard this news, I was immediately anxious.

Fortunately, at that time, it was also considered lucky, because there had been some cooperation with the Six Directions Pavilion, I had a fair relationship with a female cultivator working in the Six Directions Pavilion at that time, and from her, I knew that one of the alchemists in the Six Directions Pavilion was just about to recruit ‘fan shakers’, and so I applied for this career by all means, and externally, I claimed that I had been spotted by Alchemist Hong Bo, and had become his Alchemy Apprentice.

And that’s why Zhao Xifeng and the others crossed me off the hunting list.”

“I see.”

tan san couldn’t help but admire this Qian Xiaoyue a little.

After sensing that there was a robber cultivator around her, she immediately thought of learning the ‘Listening Technique’ to spy, and after hearing that the other party had made herself a target, she immediately thought of finding a ‘backer’.

It could be described as timid, yet full of desire to survive.

But for ordinary people, it was really difficult to do this to her.

As for the ‘fan shaking hand’, he also knows that this is actually the alchemist alchemy when, with the control of the fire of the palm fan of the person, need to continuously input spiritual energy, waving fan magic weapon, increase the fire of the Dan furnace …… is considered a drudgery, the status of the alchemy than the apprentice. The status is also much worse than the alchemy apprentice.

Of course, even if it’s just a fan shaker, it’s actually much better than him, a casual spiritual farmer.

After all, this fan waving hand, no matter how you count it, is also a person beside the alchemist, and may be able to get a reward, obtaining one or two spirit pills.

Even if there is no spirit dan reward, but also can buy spirit dan at a low price, or even at parity, its benefits, enough to make many low-ranked scattered cultivators, tend to be attached.

“So I, in fact, have also been targeted by them long ago?”

Immediately afterward, tan san came back to his senses and hurriedly asked after him.

Nodding, Qian Xiaoyue immediately shook her head again and said, “Before, I did not know.

However, from their conversations, I did learn that your father has a high status in the ‘Jianghu martial arts’ as they call it, and his strength should be considered to be at the top of what they call ‘innate’ martial artists.

So with him guarding you, the two of them wouldn’t dare to take action against you easily.”

“Then how come this time ……”

Hearing this, tan san hurriedly asked.

“Because, your father, hasn’t appeared for more than twenty days.

And they inquired that the cultivator Zhao Heng, the one who led the casual cultivator squad that your father followed at that time, has returned.”

Qian Xiaoyue gave tan san a sympathetic look and said.

“Returned?

When?”

tan san immediately asked with some excitement.

“A few days ago, less than ten days.”

Qian Xiaoyue returned. “Several days ago? Less than ten days?”

tan san froze, wouldn’t it be the beginning of his crossing? Or even a few days before crossing over?

“That’s right.

For this reason, they waited a few more days.

It wasn’t until they confirmed that your father really didn’t come back that they actually made you a target.”

Qian Xiaoyue calmly said.

“So, the reason you came to my door that day was not out of concern, but rather a suspicion that they had already made a move against me?”

tan san couldn’t help but ask back.

“You could say that.”

Qian Xiaoyue nodded and said with some comfort, “I was still relieved to see that you were fine that day.

But it wasn’t until last night that I heard them confirming that they were going to make their move today, so after all, I still couldn’t bear it and quietly followed them out.

Rather, it was your spell that surprised me a bit.”

Although she had quietly followed at that time, she actually did not dare to strike easily.

If tan san was undefeated and was easily beheaded, she would have presumed that she would have treated it as if nothing had happened and returned to her room without going out.

It was tan san’s own insistence on resisting and the strength of his spells that she recognized, confirming that there was a possibility of killing these two people, and only then did she not hesitate to lend a helping hand at the critical moment.

“Still, many thanks to Fellow Daoist Qian.”

tan san responded, but his mood was still very bad.

He didn’t expect that the loose cultivator squad that his father had followed had returned long ago, but his father, however, hadn’t come back……. Although he didn’t want to believe it, in general, his father’s life and death, indeed, had been hard to predict.

“No need to be polite.

You, is there anything else you want to ask?”

Qian Xiaoyue waved her hand, then said.

tan san shook his head, then stood up, intending to leave.

However, at this time, Qian Xiao Yue opened her mouth and said, “Don’t rush to leave first.

Later, when it’s nightfall and there’s not much people around, I’ll go to their room and search for them.

The two of them have been robbing cultivators for such a long time, so they must have hidden something that should be worth some spirit stones.

However, they were killed by you after all, so you get half of what’s inside.

Of course, if you don’t want it, I won’t force you, so you can just go straight back.”

“Then I’ll stay here with fellow Daoist Qian, for a little while longer.”

tan san’s heart stirred, and he hurriedly resumed his seat again, saying.

He was poor and scared.

Although he had earned a small amount of spirit stones in the past two days because of getting rid of the insects, compared to the consumption in cultivation, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

After all, when cultivators cultivated, the consumption of spirit stones needed was too great.

Daily spiritual rice as food, spiritual land as home, can only be regarded as daily, is a loose cultivator to maintain cultivation up the most basic security.

In fact, many loose cultivators couldn’t even do that.

For example, he had been eating ordinary mortal rice before, and the place he lived in was only on the outskirts of the marketplace, outside the range of the first-grade Spirit Vein, with a very limited amount of spiritual qi.

That was why his cultivation progress had been very slow.

And really can let the cultivator quickly improve, but also has to be more than one grade of spiritual veins, medicinal food, demonic beasts blood and flesh, is a variety of spirit dan, to assist in cultivation of the spirit of the talisman, the law incense, and even a variety of different functions of the spirit of the plant, the spirit of the material, the heavenly treasures …… not to mention, a cultivator walking outside, must also have to self-protection, so also have to purchase a way to ware, cultivate strong The most important thing is that you have to have a lot of money to pay for it.

A penny counting down, it is difficult to count.

So the cultivator cultivation, spirit stone is how not too much.
