Chapter 25: The Stinky Beggar
In Mu Chunfeng's impression, Xiao Changqing had probably become cautious and knew when to advance and retreat because he had been struggling at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world for more than a decade.
Or to put it another way, she was a bit timid and cowardly. No matter she encountered danger or opportunity, she would subconsciously choose to take two steps back. She did not have the fighting spirit that the immortal cultivators she admired should have.
In Mu Chunfeng's opinion, if a cultivator cannot fight bravely and seize every opportunity he can, it will be difficult for him to achieve great things.
In Nanshanfang, there are tens of thousands of cultivators, but there are only a handful of cultivators who have established their foundation.
If you don't dare to fight, how can you stand out and become the one to build the foundation?
So when Xiao Changqing let the two ugly men go just now, she was very disappointed and thought that Xiao Changqing was not worthy of being used and had no future.
The result was unexpected...
Xiao Changqing was more ambitious than she had imagined, and was unwilling to use her to take revenge.
Instead, he would wait until his cultivation was strong enough and his status was high enough, and then he would personally make Zhou Yun'e, who had betrayed him, regret it, and make Hu Youquan, who had offended him, terrified.
Mu Chunfeng came back to his senses, re-examined Xiao Changqing, and said with interest: "It's not easy to do what you said. Even if you can break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in the future, and your talisman skills are advanced to become the exclusive talisman master of Lingfu Pavilion, it may not be enough."
Xiao Changqing said calmly but forcefully: "If the late stage of Qi Refining doesn't work, then wait until the foundation is successfully established. If the first-level Talisman Master doesn't work, then the second-level Talisman Master will do."
"Wow! You really dare to say that! You are really arrogant!" Mu Chunfeng seemed to be joking and mocking, but there was some appreciation in his eyes.
Even if she thought Xiao Changqing was bragging and talking about goals that were impossible to achieve, in her opinion, being brave enough to set goals and being able to work hard towards them was much better than being cowardly and having no ambition.
"Don't even think about building your foundation. Your spiritual roots are too poor. There is no hope at all!"
Mu Chunfeng shook his head and suggested seriously: "You just need to focus on improving your talisman skills. After ten or twenty years, you may have hope of becoming a second-level talisman master. I believe that Shopkeeper Hong and Talisman Master Lu will not make a mistake in your judgment. When you become a second-level talisman master, there is no hope for you to build your foundation, but with the resources you can obtain, it is not a problem to easily improve your cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, by then, all the major foundation-building families in Nanshanfang will ask you for anything you want. You can ask for any conditions. Then Hu Youquan and Zhou Yun'e will become a joke known to everyone in Nanshanfang, living in pain and regret every day."
"Ten or twenty years? That's a bit long. Maybe it won't take that long..." Xiao Changqing murmured.
Ten or twenty years later, this body is already around fifty years old.
Whether it is foundation building or second-level talisman master, it is a little too late.
But when he thought about it this way, Xiao Changqing felt a sense of crisis.
The talisman skills can be broken through at any time, as long as the attainment is reached.
However, if you want to build the foundation, it must be completed before the age of 60.
At the current speed, he has just reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and even with the assistance of the great success level of Longevity Technique, it will still be a little slow.
It seems that I can't just focus on the 'Double-Winged Tiger Hair Brush'. I have to find a way to get a piece of equipment that can help improve my cultivation.
"Okay, okay, it's getting more and more outrageous, isn't it? But I appreciate your attitude."
Mu Chunfeng felt that Xiao Changqing was never done joking.
Master Lu is considered the most talented talisman master in the history of Nanshanfang. It took him more than ten years to be promoted to a second-level talisman master.
This guy thinks that ten or twelve years is too long.
"Don't call me Miss Mu anymore. Just call me Fellow Daoist Mu."
Mu Chunfeng then said happily again.
This sentence means that she thinks Xiao Changqing is to her liking and recognizes him as a person, rather than simply trying to win over potential stocks for the family.
…………
"Damn it! How could this useless Xiao Changqing become a talisman master of the Ling Fu Pavilion and improve his skills so quickly to be valued by the Mu family?"
After leaving the Mu family courtyard complex and fleeing back home without stopping for a moment, Hu Youquan finally felt a little safe and was able to vent his anger and smash things.
"What treasure does Xiao Changqing have? Do you know?"
After a moment, Hu Youquan looked at Zhou Yun'e angrily again and questioned her fiercely.
Zhou Yun'e no longer had the demeanor of a cold and arrogant goddess. Her eyes were empty and lifeless. Facing Hu Youquan's question, she sneered and replied, "If I knew he had a treasure, would I still leave him?"
Yes.
If Zhou Yun'e knew that Xiao Changqing could achieve what he has today, why would she leave him and follow her?
Hu Youquan's inner depression and fear could not be shaken off, and he continued to ask angrily: "Now that you see that he has become so successful, do you want to go back to him again?"
Zhou Yun'e was exhausted and didn't want to talk to someone who had lost his mind.
Hu Youquan grabbed her wrist fiercely, and even began to use his magic power, and said angrily: "Okay, you really want to reconcile with him, right?"
Zhou Yun'e felt so depressed that she finally said in hatred, "Wake up! Even if I want to go back to Xiao Changqing, do you think he will agree? Don't you know how I drew a line between us and broke off all ties?"
"..."
Hu Youquan finally came to his senses, put down his hands and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, a good horse doesn't turn back. Xiao Changqing doesn't look stupid."
Zhou Yun'e rubbed her red wrist joints, took a deep breath, and didn't want to argue with Hu Youquan.
"Youquan, you don't have to be so angry and lose your mind because of what happened tonight." Zhou Yun'e analyzed calmly: "No matter what treasures Xiao Changqing has, or what opportunities he has, or who he is with... it doesn't matter. He only has low-grade spiritual roots, so what if he is powerful? Does he still want to build a foundation? I think he may not be able to break through the late stage of Qi Refining! As for the second-level talisman master that Miss Mu mentioned, do you believe it? Is it so easy to become a second-level talisman master?"
"So, even if Xiao Changqing is doing well now, I believe that he will be exposed sooner or later. He cannot compare to your rich family background, which is the accumulation of three generations of cultivators!"
"With the cave we live in and the two storefronts, Xiao Changqing will never be able to earn enough money even if he dies!"
"Perhaps you should not save money to buy a third storefront, but should improve the supply of resources for cultivation, take more elixirs and spiritual food. Try to surpass Xiao Changqing in cultivation again! With your current cultivation and age, the hope of building a foundation is slim, but you should always try. Even if you fail, being a cultivator who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining will be enough to play an important role in Nanshanfang and suppress Xiao Changqing!"
"There will be a chance to avenge today!"
After listening to this, Hu Youquan nodded and felt that it made a lot of sense.
He had originally made a plan long ago to save money to buy a third store and reduce resources for cultivation.
After being stimulated today, his ambition was rekindled.
He didn't want to be trampled under the feet of a beggar from outside and never be able to stand up again!
When Zhou Yun'e saw this, resentment and unwillingness appeared in her eyes.
If Hu Youquan increases the supply of cultivation resources, she will certainly be able to benefit from it.
She is completely different from Hu Youquan. She doesn't want to save spirit stones at all. The reason she follows Hu Youquan is to spend the spirit stones.
Although her hope of building a foundation is slimmer than Hu Youquan's, she firmly believes that she should invest more in herself instead of saving spirit stones for future considerations!
