Requirements for a Dao Companion, Portable Formations
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "Shall we give it a try?!"
Xu Changqing was stunned upon hearing this, quite surprised.
Because of Zhang Xue's relationship with Zhang Er, he intentionally kept his distance.
I thought the other party's repeated contact and communication were actually a test.
But to my utter surprise, it turned out to be... that she had taken a liking to me.
"I can't?" Zhang Xue's heart tightened when she saw that the other party didn't react at all.
Xu Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, your understanding of dao companion and the dao companion I'm looking for may not be the same thing."
Zhang Xue looked puzzled. "What kind of dao companion are you looking for?"
Xu Changqing said seriously, "What I'm looking for is a hired dao companion who can help me cultivate new Spirit Root, not a lifelong companion, or even a wife and children."
Zhang Xue was stunned upon hearing this and involuntarily took a step back.
His eyes, expressions, and emotions all became complicated.
My mind, in particular, is in a state of extreme confusion right now.
In her understanding, the vast majority of Spirit Farmer who seek out Water Spirit Root are in a partnership.
One person farms the land.
One person brought rain.
Working together as a team makes the work easier.
Unexpectedly, Xu Changqing found a hired dao companion.
It's the kind of thing where you can have both sexes if you pay.
This was completely unexpected.
Xu Changqing said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, think it over carefully."
Zhang Xue took a deep breath, then nodded. "Okay, I'll think about it when I get back."
Then she summoned a black shuttle and quickly departed.
Xu Changqing gazed in the direction where the other person had disappeared, his expression quite complex.
He truly hadn't expected that Zhang Xue would actually take a liking to him.
Perhaps it's related to the previous Flower Sea incident.
He was facing a slender, pure-looking female disciple with Water Spirit Root.
Logically, I shouldn't refuse.
Moreover, Xu Changqing is not someone who Mind-Cleansing Rune worldly desires simply by cultivating immortality.
The problem is, I have quite a few secrets about me.
1. Harvest the Spirit Plant five times a year.
II. The Mutated Spirit Rice Beneath the Stone Mountain.
Third, especially the secrets of longevity.
Neither of them should be easily revealed.
Therefore, hiring dao companion is the most suitable option.
The other party won't stay here permanently; they'll come at fixed times and locations.
Furthermore, since the two have an employer-employee relationship, there's unlikely to be much emotional connection between them.
"However, Zhang Xue's arrival gave me a wake-up call." Xu Changqing quickly took out a Communication Talisman from his Small Storage Bag and infused it with Wood Spiritual Power.
"Hello? Hiccup!"
"Fellow Daoist Han, I am Xu Changqing!"
"Oh, it's been a long time, Fellow Daoist Xu!"
"I'd like to inquire if there are any formations that can conceal one's scent?"
"Of course there are, such as [Breath-Hiding Formation], [Obstacle-Evasion Formation], [Trail-Misdirection Formation], and the like."
"Then... is there something more convenient, something that can be installed and used anytime?"
"You mean a portable array formation?"
Yes, yes, yes!
"Of course, but they're quite expensive."
How expensive?
"For the sake of our friendship, at least 50 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone."
"Uh... then you do it!"
After agreeing on a time for the transaction with Han Xin, Xu Changqing carefully put away the Communication Talisman.
Unexpectedly, I just obtained 100 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Before it was even warmed up, half of it was gone.
However, if the scent of the Mutated Spirit Rice at the Stone Mountain can be masked, it won't be a loss in the long run.
After all, Mutated Spirit Plant are quite expensive these days.
Next, Xu Changqing cooked while waiting for Han Xin to arrive.
About an hour later, a small, swaying Little Black approached from the horizon.
Xu Changqing was sitting under Poplar Tree enjoying the cool air after finishing his meal when he saw this and knew that Han Xin had arrived.
After all, only someone who's drunk would dare to wander around like that.
Bang!
As the ground shook, the shuttle crashed to the ground.
Temporal Dust.
"Where... where is he?" Han Xin staggered down the steps.
Xu Changqing said irritably, "Can't you take it easy? You almost ruined my Spirit Fields."
Han Xin chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't want to offend you, hiccup~"
Xu Changqing approached her, smelled a strong odor of alcohol, and frowned. He immediately handed her 50 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone: "The Spirit Stone are all here."
Han Xin reached out and grabbed, but there was nothing there.
Another grab, and still nothing.
From her perspective, the Spirit Stone had already been divided into three parts.
Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment, then stuffed the Spirit Stone into the other person's arms and said, "Can't you drink less?"
Holding the Spirit Stone, Han Xin complained, "I wanted to drink less, but you're the one who makes such delicious wine."
It tastes good.
Moreover, it can also increase cultivation speed.
It can even greatly help in understanding the Cultivation Method.
Therefore, she was basically drunk every day.
However, its strength not only did not decline, but continued to increase, with effects comparable to Second-Grade Spirit Rice.
That's how you get addicted, and you just can't stop.
Xu Changqing pursed his lips upon hearing this. "Is it my fault?"
Han Xin waved her hand dismissively. "Oh... I'm not blaming you."
Xu Changqing, too lazy to waste words, urged, "Alright, give me the convenient array."
Han Xin started rummaging through her Storage Bag, and it took her several tries to find it.
A thought crossed my mind after I opened it.
The next second, something resembling a jade plate appeared in his hand.
Xu Changqing could barely make out some of the content above.
It seems to be something like location.
It was very similar to the compass the other party had previously held, but much simpler.
Han Xin casually tossed it out, then introduced, "This portable array is called the [Breath-Hiding Formation], and its coverage area is about ten zhang."
Xu Changqing took it and felt that it was a bit heavy.
The jade plate was about the size of two adult palms, and it looked like a small shield when held in the hand.
At this moment, Han Xin's eyes darted around, revealing a sly look. "I've finished the Spirit Rice Wine I got from you last time, can you sell me some more?"
Xu Changqing originally intended to take out the remaining Second-Grade Spirit Rice Wine.
But then I thought, I should find someone to test a higher-quality Yellow Rice Wine.
So he turned around and went inside, then took a pound of Yellow Rice Wine from the kitchen.
"It smells so good!" Han Xin twitched her nostrils, sniffing the pervasive aroma of wine, and her eyes widened instantly.
Xu Changqing handed over a pound of Yellow Rice Wine: "This is a new product I brewed, please try it."
Prior to this, the Second-Grade Spirit Rice Wine had several negative effects.
In contrast, the Yellow Rice Wine of today is completely different.
Reaching the "Masterful Hand" level has no negative effects.
No matter how much you drink, it won't cause any harm to your body.
At most, he'll just get completely drunk.
Han Xin blinked, snatched the bottle from Xu Changqing's hand, and without thinking twice, started guzzling it down her throat.
Glug~
Glug glug~
The drink was not spicy; on the contrary, it was quite sweet.
In terms of taste, it's even better than Second-Grade Spirit Rice Wine.
She drank a whole pound of Yellow Rice Wine in one go, leaving only a tiny bit at the bottom.
Xu Changqing asked, "How are you feeling?"
Han Xin chuckled foolishly, opening her mouth as she said, "It feels great..."
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly closed, and he instantly lost consciousness!!!
