Chapter 52 Awakening of Consciousness
The Qinghuan Realm is very large and rich in resources. Every place is different. Wei Wenxin only has limited knowledge of many things. The reason why he knows that the meat of this white-haired rabbit with green pupils is very tender and not fishy at all is because he had eaten it when he came to Piaoxue Sect to do a mission.
She specially went to catch a few of them, intending to repay Tu Liuniang for her kindness in giving her a meal. However, she did not expect that this group of people often traveled far away and brought a lot of food with them. In the blink of an eye, they had put together a table full of rich ingredients, which made her, who was trying to catch up at the last minute, feel quite embarrassed.
"I just caught a few rabbits. I'll process them and add them to the dish."
Everyone contributed something to the dinner tonight, except her. Some people even felt uncomfortable when Tu Liuniang put out an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing that she was so naive and cute at this moment, and that she insisted on peeling the rabbit even though dinner was about to start, the slight unhappiness I had felt before quickly dissipated.
"You can't handle it alone, let us help!"
Wei Wenxin had just clumsily peeled out a rabbit leg when several rabbits were snatched away and started to be peeled skillfully.
Fearing that she would be embarrassed, some people even praised her:
"Friend Wei is really capable. He has caught so many Wind Chasing Rabbits in such a short time!"
"We are in for a treat today!"
The rabbit was peeled quickly, and Tu Liuniang took the rabbit and sliced it into slices, ready to put it in the pot.
Someone scraped the grease off the rabbit skin, rolled it into a pile of small curls, tied it up with a thin rope, and handed it to Wei Wenxin.
"This wind-chasing rabbit is hard to catch, and its skin is always sold at a high price. Fellow Daoist Wei, remember to take it out and expose it to the sun on a sunny day, otherwise the quality will be compromised."
Wei Wenxin remembered that this female cultivator was a tailor.
He took the rabbit skin, flattened it out one by one, and gently rubbed it with his palm. The rabbit skin immediately became light, soft and clean.
"Would you mind making me a cape? I'll pay you the market price."
Everyone stared at her slender and powerful hands in surprise, thinking that she had some special skills, but no one asked about it.
When Wei Wenxin saw the strange expressions on their faces, he realized that his usual ability had once again attracted attention.
While I sighed in my heart, I also felt tired of pretending, so I just stopped pretending.
The tailors in Piaoxue Sect are different from those in other places. Most of them are half leatherworkers and are very good at making leather products.
The female cultivator was very happy as she had not expected to get another order during her journey. She quickly agreed on the price with Wei Wenxin and took the rabbit skin.
"Come and eat! It's not too late to work after dinner!"
Seeing that she didn't even bother to eat and was ready to start working, Tu Liuniang threw away the bones with the meat shaved off, smiled and clapped her hands.
Twelve people sat in a circle, and a small jar of fire-attributed spirit wine was placed in each person's cup, exactly half a cup per person.
Wei Wen was not a foodie, but he found the atmosphere interesting, so he sat down with confidence after receiving the invitation.
She is very clean and always washes her hands thoroughly before eating.
Then everyone saw a transparent water ball emitting steam suddenly appear in front of her.
She reached her hand in and rubbed it carefully. The water ball was neither broken nor cold. After washing it, she threw it into the ditch at the edge of the camp, and white mist rose up.
To her, it was just a normal thing because she had been living this way since she was a child, but everyone else was stunned.
In the territory of Piaoxue Sect, it is very difficult for low-level cultivators to use hot water anytime and anywhere.
Others still have to use a container to hold it, but she is so convenient!
Moreover, it is really cool! It is very suitable for taking out when there are many people!
The male water cultivator who was good at digging wells also tried to summon a water ball.
He managed to summon the water ball successfully, but as soon as he put his hand in, the water ball shattered immediately and splashed all over him, not to mention rubbing it back and forth.
It was extremely cold here, and the water immediately froze onto his robe, and his rough hands turned red from the cold.
This made his ears slightly red, and he was very embarrassed.
Seeing that he was unsuccessful, other people did not believe him and followed his example.
Due to different spiritual roots and cultivation levels, some water balls condensed too slowly and eventually became half an ice ball. Some did not know how to use the water ball technique at all and only summoned up a rain that was frozen into ice beads in the blink of an eye.
Wei Wenxin opened the spiritual energy shield and the ice beads fell down with a crackling sound. Fortunately, they did not fall into the boiling pot.
Tu Liuniang was going crazy: "Why can't you guys just eat first? If it weren't for Brother Wei's quick reaction, this table of delicious food would have been ruined! We worked so hard to prepare it for a long time!"
Everyone begged for mercy and said all the nice things they could to make her happy.
Wei Wenxin generously summoned a bunch of water balls, one for each person, and invited everyone to experience the joy of washing hands with hot water anytime and anywhere in the winter. While everyone was washing their hands, he also taught them his experience in a very good manner.
"Look, the raindrops from the sky are falling down..."
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Wei, you are really funny. If the rain from the sky doesn't fall down, does it mean it will float upwards?"
He didn't even finish listening to the words and ran away halfway through. Wei Wenxin didn't want to continue talking. She felt as painful as a summer insect talking about ice.
But since she had already started talking, and there were so many people present, and only one who thought he was smart, she decided to finish what she had planned.
"The reason why raindrops fall down is because the ground has a suction force on them. In order to ensure that the water ball stays in the air without breaking or deforming after being summoned, we need to add an upward lifting force to it, or find a way to prevent it from feeling the traction of the ground..."
Most of the independent cultivators do not have a good master. If they do not like to study hard and make progress, they will not be able to master even the basic spells well.
Wei Wenxin was born into a prominent family and was very much loved. He was also very smart and thoughtful since childhood.
She is a lazy person and never likes to waste time on trivial matters. Over time, she has figured out many little tricks to make life more convenient.
These were people who were willing to go out in the cold winter to do missions in order to earn high commissions. Even the person who questioned them soon realized how great an opportunity it was that this fellow Taoist was willing to teach them the application techniques of water polo, and they naturally did not want to miss the chance.
Moreover, it was difficult for them to make one water ball, but the other side could easily make eleven, and they were all heated.
This fellow Taoist is at least in the Foundation Establishment stage, and may even be a high-level cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage!
Everyone was in awe and no longer dared to joke with her. They listened more attentively than each other, and some even took out pen and paper to write down every detail she said.
No one spoke during the meal; they were all thinking about the little trick Wei Wenxin had just taught them.
They still have to travel with Fellow Daoist Wei for ten days or so. If they work harder, they might be able to learn a secret technique!
After dinner, the people from the Bird Station came over and moved the low table away, and built a bonfire for them in the middle. After that, they reminded them again to pay attention to the safety of life and property, and then left with confidence.
Probably noticing that there were only eleven tents, soon the gray-robed fellow in charge of their journey came over with a tent.
"My fellow Taoist must have been in a hurry to travel and didn't prepare a tent for the night. I took the initiative to rent one for you. It's free tonight, but if you want to renew the lease later, you will have to pay for it yourself."
The guy smiled embarrassedly: "After all, I am just a guy who gets paid monthly, I hope you can understand."
With this service, the Nanhai faction deserves to make a lot of money!
Wei Wenxin didn't mind meditating in the wind and snow, but she was not stupid, so how could she refuse to stay in a snow tent with its own protective formation?
It was also her first time to go out alone for the night, and she didn't know there were these tricks. She had previously promised Tu Liuniang to squeeze into her tent. Now that she could live alone and not disturb her, it was much better.
"I wonder how much this tent costs per night to rent? And can I buy it?"
"The rental fee for one night is two spirit stones. If you want to buy it, you need one hundred and seventy-eight spirit stones. It's a good omen to make money when you go out."
These tents come with basic formations. If well preserved, they will not break down for decades. It costs two spirit stones for one night, so it is better to buy one.
The things Wei Wenxin usually buys are always expensive, so such low prices are like free money in her eyes.
Just as she was about to take out the spirit stone, Tu Liuniang immediately stopped her: "It only sells for 130 yuan in the market, yours is too expensive!"
The clerk was helpless: "The transportation cost is very high. If we can't sell them after a long time, it will be a loss for us. This is also a risk. It seems expensive now, but in a few days, when we are closer to the mortal world, these things in the cultivation world will only become more expensive, and will not be cheaper anymore."
His words were very sincere. Wei Wenxin remembered the ticket seller's reminder and felt it made sense. His hand was about to touch the storage bag, but Tu Liuniang pulled his sleeve again.
"We don't want any of that. We'll buy it if it's sent all together for 168 yuan. Otherwise, we'd rather squeeze in!"
Her experience of shopping with Yue Jinxiu told her that silence was best at this moment, so she let go of her hand that was touching the storage bag.
"Okay, I'll go get you a new one?"
The transaction then went smoothly.
The guy took the old tent back and quickly replaced it with a new one. He set it up for her in the empty space and left with a smile.
Wei Wenxin did not have the serious attitude they had towards the spirit stones.
Thinking of the huge amount of spirit stones he had spent in the past, Wei Wenxin suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to learn from Tu Liuniang.
