Moreover, ordinary fishing, even if it forces everyone to gather together, can’t create a thrilling and stimulating environment for him, making it hard to brush off ignore points.
Now, as such a wastrel, it’s uncertain whether everyone is just trying to make him happy, constantly using spiritual power to drive fish towards him, and even keeping an eye on him at all times.
"Forget it, my arms are so weak now, it might take two days to recover, how about coming in for a cup of tea?" Zhou Qing invited.
Just as Lu Yaoyao was about to agree, Li Daoxuan gently pulled her and then laughed, "No, let’s not disturb you, Junior Brother Zhou, you go rest first, do come to Divine Peak when you have time."
"Senior Brother, isn’t it rude to not enter when visiting?" After leaving, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t help but say.
Could it be we were a bit disrespectful?
Li Daoxuan said, "I smelled a strong odor of sweat on him, plus his arms were so weak, and he just came back from outside. If I’m not mistaken, he has already started body refining."
"Body refining?" Lu Yaoyao’s eyes lit up instantly.
Does that mean he’s pulling himself together and starting down a different path?
Could it be because the Supreme Elder gave him a soak in the second Flame Spirit Blood Pool that he regained his confidence?
Li Daoxuan nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed, what he wants most now that he’s home is to lie down and sleep, or take a good bath before sleeping. If we go in, it would be inconsiderate to make him entertain us."
Lu Yaoyao looked embarrassed after hearing this.
She hadn’t thought of this.
"Why didn’t I smell the sweat? Senior Brother, is your nose as sharp as Zhou Senior Brother’s now?" Lu Yaoyao said with a giggle.
Li Daoxuan was speechless, "I’m just me, not to be compared with anyone else. Let’s get going."
With that, the two left Little Spirit Peak.
As Li Daoxuan had guessed, Zhou Qing, upon returning home, did want to take a bath, but his arms were so sore and weak that he had no strength left. He simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
It took him three full days to recover.
"This withdrawal drum is indeed exhausting, I wonder how Senior Brother Yan’s throat is doing?"
Zhou Qing muttered to himself, but on the other hand, it was indeed good stuff. Everything within the drum waves, including various weapons, was greatly slowed down.
It was like forming an independent field, only the ripple blades formed by Senior Brother Yan’s "withdraw, withdraw, withdraw" were unaffected.
"Perhaps I can find Lu Yaoyao. Now that she’s in the late Foundation Establishment Realm, there’s a ninety percent chance she can ignore me, but there are only two people, one of them is the opposite sex. Unless they’re foolish, they’d remember someone’s there, right?"
Zhou Qing scratched his head.
If there were people like Li Daoxuan or He Han from the Nascent Soul Realm, they wouldn’t take their eyes off him.
"Unless, she’s not at home!" Zhou Qing’s eyes suddenly brightened.
He then took out a paper crane, intending to lure her away.
First, he checked the almanac, yes, today was suitable for travel.
As soon as he stepped out, intending to find Niu Guangmo, he saw Yan Xiaohu coming.
"Senior Brother, perfect timing, take me to Divine Peak!" Zhou Qing said urgently.
Yan Xiaohu opened his mouth, "What... your hand... gah gah..."
Zhou Qing’s face twitched, "Your throat still isn’t better yet?"
"Injured...gah... throat..." Yan Xiaohu pointed to his neck.
Zhou Qing understood and quickly signaled for him to speak less. free\we\bnov(e)(l).com
"Why did you have to push yourself so hard during practice? How about we visit the Exchange Hall first, see if there’s any Clear Throat Pill for your throat," Zhou Qing suggested.
Yan Xiaohu shook his head immediately, "No... gah... money."
That’s true, ever since Zhang Wanbao handed over two Nascent Soul Formation Pills, they nearly gave all their money to him for partial debt repayment, including some herbs already purchased for refining Nascent Soul Formation Pills.
Well, you should owe as little as possible when it comes to personal favors.
After that, they each received two top-grade spirit stones. Senior Brother Yan consumed one to breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and gave the remaining one to their master in exchange for a suitable cultivation technique, including the withdrawal drum.
So now Senior Brother Yan is practically penniless.
"Wait, you’re not here to borrow money from me, are you?" Zhou Qing couldn’t help asking.
Yan Xiaohu looked embarrassed, just as he was about to speak, Zhou Qing quickly raised his hand, "I only have those two, one is almost used up, and the other is reserved for something important."
The energy needed for Double Pill is too much, so now he has to risk sneaking into the Supreme Elder’s territory for Flame Spirit Blood Ointment to accumulate for himself, no spare money.
Yan Xiaohu looked disappointed.
It seems he has to venture out again with his eight brothers, making money.
Shortly after, Yan Xiaohu brought Zhou Qing down from the flying sword and hurriedly left.
Looking at the bustling Task Hall in front, Zhou Qing quietly went to a hidden place. Ensuring no one noticed, he took out a paper crane and started talking.
"Junior Sister Lu, do you have time today? I have something to talk to you about." After speaking, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew away.
Time slowly passed, soon the paper crane flew back, with Lu Yaoyao’s happy voice, "Yes, yes, of course, Senior Brother Zhou, please wait, I will be right there."
One could tell the girl was very happy, causing Zhou Qing to feel a bit guilty.
