Chapter 58: Bathing in the Spiritual Spring
The unit Xiao Changqing rented this time was 'Yi Shi'.
It ranks tenth among the B-class caves. Although it is not as good as the top three A-class caves, it is enough for Xiao Changqing to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining without having to change caves.
Ordinary Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators are not qualified to live in the top ten B-level caves.
It's not just because of the price of spirit stones, it's also because of the lack of identity and status.
Everyone who can live here is a prominent figure in Nanshanfang, worthy of being treated politely by the foundation-building cultivators.
The main reason why Xiao Changqing was able to move to Yi Shi this time, apart from the heavy casualties among the elite soldiers of the four major foundation-building families in the bloody battle, was his outstanding talent in the art of talismans, and he had great hope of being promoted to a second-level talisman master in the future.
"The concentration of this spiritual energy is too high..."
After looking at the cave, Xiao Changqing went to work at Lingfu Pavilion as usual.
The moving task was handed over to the two Lin sisters.
The two of them ran back and forth several times, and after being busy for a long time to clean up, they finally had time to relax and experience the various benefits of the B-level cave.
Although there is only one level difference between Class B and Class C, there is a world of difference between them.
Most of the C-level cave dwellings are still inhabited by independent cultivators, and moving into a B-level cave dwelling is considered to be truly standing at the top of Nanshanfang.
"It feels like it has reached the threshold of the second-order spiritual vein. No wonder the hot spring pool in the yard has reached the level of a spiritual spring!"
Lin Zixi was amazed and astonished.
It would be difficult to experience it firsthand unless you moved to a Class B cave, especially one of the top ten Class B caves.
This is the cave where real immortal cultivators live. Each cave covers a very large area, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a small paradise.
Not only is there a yard, but there is also a large hot spring pool filled with smoke!
Even for those who are at the middle stage of Qi Refining, soaking in the hot spring pool is not only comfortable but also helpful to their cultivation.
If a mortal came here, it would be like a holy place! The water in the hot spring pool is enough to cleanse their spiritual veins and eliminate all diseases.
The entire cave is covered with formations. Although it is not a very high-level formation, it is a truly entry-level formation, reaching the lower level of the first level.
It doesn't have a very high defensive power, but it has a very good alarm effect and can effectively prevent prying, spiritual awareness and sight.
It can ensure that even with the powerful consciousness and insight of the foundation-building cultivator, he cannot directly find out the situation inside the cave from outside the cave.
If the formation is broken by force, the cultivators in the cave will be able to sense it immediately.
So when you live here, you can enjoy the hot spring in the yard without worrying about being peeped at.
"If it weren't for the Lord, we two sisters would never be able to live in a cave like this in our lifetime, right?"
Lin Zixi sighed.
Lin Ziyu nodded.
Although in essence, the sisters are actually ambitious and unwilling to be mediocre. But they also have a clear understanding of themselves in their hearts, and it is very good to be able to refine Qi to perfection in this life.
As for completing the foundation before the age of sixty, it can only be said to be a beautiful hope. In fact, there is no hope at all.
Even if the sisters can achieve the ninth level of Qi training in the future, they will not be qualified to move to the Yishi Cave Residence.
Lin Zixi looked at the misty spiritual spring pool in front of him and wanted to go down and soak in it for a while to feel the comfort.
But I still held back.
The master hasn't come back yet, and they haven't had sex yet. How can they, as concubines, enjoy it first?
And the most important thing is that the status of these sisters as "concubines" is not very stable, and it is not unworthy of the name.
"Sister, I have decided. From now on, I will be devoted to the Master! Abandon all other thoughts!"
Lin Zixi said seriously.
Although Senior Bai Wuji was a good person and gave her a very special feeling, he had disappeared for such a long time and had never appeared in Nanshanfang. It was obvious that he had forgotten about this place and her as well.
Maybe we will never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.
She should be more sober and sensible.
Seizing what is in front of you is the most important thing.
"It should have been done long ago." Sister Lin Ziyu nodded.
In comparison, she had adjusted her mindset very early on and treated Xiao Changqing as her master.
It was not only because of the oath, but also because Xiao Changqing "conquered" her during their time together.
She didn't know when her mentality changed.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Changqing went to and from work every day, with no distractions, and only wanted to practice and draw talismans; or perhaps it was because he was a "gentleman", even though he took the sisters as concubines, he did not indulge in women, and even did not touch them...
Of course, the most important thing is the admiration for the strong.
In short, even if she didn't have the status of a concubine, when Lin Ziyu wanted to be a "Phoenix Girl" in her early years, this was the best cultivator she wanted to find.
Xiao Changqing perfectly meets her ideal Taoist partner's standards!
"Sister, you should hurry up. A gentleman like the master is not one of those lecherous people. We can't wait for him to take the initiative. We have to take the initiative ourselves."
Lin Zixi said.
Lin Ziyu blushed slightly and asked, "Why don't you hold on tighter?"
Lin Zixi smiled and said, "Sister, of course, has to take priority. She should be the role model in front."
Lin Ziyu said unhappily, "Now that you know I'm your elder sister, you want me to be your role model? From childhood to adulthood, how many times have you listened to me and done what I asked?"
However, that being said.
Lin Ziyu looked at the misty spiritual spring pool in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking about. Suddenly, his cheeks turned red, his eyes were filled with tears, and he became shy.
……
……
Xiao Changqing returned to his new cave, but he was not in a very good mood.
Because the shopkeeper Zhou Changkong has started looking for trouble again recently.
The requirements for the talisman masters in the pavilion have been further tightened, and the daily workload has increased a lot. In addition, every talisman master is required to draw those talismans. They can no longer just draw cleaning talismans every day like Xiao Changqing did before.
The workload has increased and the requirements have become more, but the salary has not increased accordingly.
As a result, there were naturally complaints in the cabinet. Those who were already dissatisfied with Zhou Changkong were privately considering whether to join forces and exert pressure in the opposite direction.
The talisman masters believed that although they had signed a contract with the Luoxia Sect, they were actually in a cooperative relationship rather than slaves of the sect!
What Zhou Changkong is doing now seems to be treating them as tools for making talismans!
If I don't resist, I'm afraid it will get even worse.
It is impossible for Zhou Changkong to be completely unaware of the situation below, but there is no sign of change. He is very confident and seems to be waiting for the Talisman Master to cause trouble.
Xiao Changqing did not receive any special treatment this time, but was assigned additional tasks and was required to draw several types of talismans.
However, Zhou Changkong still talked to Xiao Changqing in private today.
The content was to ask him if he was willing to go to Luoxia Sect for further study in advance! It was said that Luoxia Sect was in need of people recently, and although Xiao Changqing was only a first-level mid-grade talisman master, his talent and potential were strong enough, so he could be made an exception.
When you arrive at Luoxia Sect, your treatment in all aspects will be improved, and the resources are completely incomparable to those in Nanshanfang.
But Xiao Changqing did not agree.
He noticed that something seemed wrong with the recent situation.
Although Nanshanfang seemed to have gone through a round of reshuffle, with the Mu and Cao families ceasing hostilities and returning to peace, the turmoil outside was still continuing, with many wandering cultivators fleeing to Nanshanfang every day.
Coupled with Zhou Changkong's oppression of the Lingfu Pavilion's talisman masters, all signs indicate that a bigger crisis seems to be brewing!
Would it be a good thing to go to Luoxia Sect at this time?
In particular, before leaving, Shopkeeper Hong specifically told him that once he was promoted to a second-level talisman master and had the capital, it would be best not to return to the sect, but to consider going to Liyang Fairy City.
"Perhaps Shopkeeper Hong knew some inside information a long time ago..."
Xiao Changqing sat in the hot spring, feeling the heat and gentle spiritual power entering his body, and his head relaxed a lot.
Suddenly, the mist in the hot spring began to flow and someone came in.
"Master, can I help you take a bath?"
