Chapter 169: The Old Man Who Drowned His Sorrow in Wine
The spiritual energy in this world of immortal cultivation was not rich enough and was not suitable for Tang Shi to practice, so her main focus was still on refining medicinal spiritual power and poison spiritual power, and then she estimated the time and released her hidden cultivation bit by bit.
"Whoo~"
Bai Yanlan let out a long breath and came out of his cultivation state.
Before, the poison in the body was not completely eliminated, he just used the same old trick to gather the poison together and wait for the poisonous spiritual power to be slowly absorbed.
Fortunately, after a period of diligent learning, I finally got it all done.
Without the invisible bomb in his body, Tang Shi felt that he had nothing to worry about, so he planned to go out for a walk. After all, if he stayed in the cave all the time, the truth would not come to him on its own.
It stands to reason that one cannot fly with a sword before reaching the foundation-building stage. Tang Shi did not want to embarrass his two short legs, so he simply took out a flying device in the shape of a magic sword, stepped on it, and flew straight to the mountain gate.
It was also because of her high profile that many people noticed that the new disciples in the sect had gone out, and many of them followed them quietly.
There is a small town not far from the Jianxin Sect's headquarters. Because disciples of the Jianxin Sect often come here to purchase daily necessities, the town has gradually become prosperous.
When Tang Shi arrived in the town, he walked into a restaurant with a clear purpose and sat down at a window seat.
Because she did not receive the disciple uniform of the Jianxin Sect, she was still wearing her own clothes, which were exquisite and cute but the grade could not be identified. In addition, she was still a child, so no one thought she was here to consume.
The shop owner looked at her a few times and subconsciously thought that the girl came in to rest because she was tired, or she was waiting for someone. However, there was not much business in the shop at the moment, and she was not making any noise, so he let her sit there.
Because the little girl was well-behaved and cute, he even asked the waiter to serve some tea and nuts, which were already provided free of charge, and also gave her a plate of snacks that had little spiritual power.
Tang Shi thanked the shopkeeper for his kindness, but did not touch those things.
Not long after, an old man with messy hair and beard, and reeking of alcohol, walked into the restaurant with unsteady steps.
When the shopkeeper saw the newcomer, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Hey, Master Xiaofeng, why are you here so early today? Have you finished your drink?"
Master Xiaofeng burped and skillfully put the wine gourd in his hand into the shopkeeper's hand: "Fill it up."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Tang Shi looked at the old man in the direction of the sound and continued looking out the window.
The person who came was the target of her trip, Song Ci’s previous master, Xiao Fengcan.
However, Tang Shi was not in a hurry to go forward and say hello this time, because according to the information she had obtained, the old man arrived two hours earlier than the usual scheduled schedule.
For no reason, Tang Shi felt that the old man was coming for him.
Sure enough, the old man looked around the store with his slightly cloudy eyes, and then slowly sat down at the table next to Tang Shi.
The two men sat very close to each other, and soon people started gossiping about them together.
"Look over there, isn't that the Peak Master Xiaofeng Canxiao, and the new little genius, Tang Shi."
"Alas, ever since Song Ci died, Master Xiao Feng has been drinking to drown his sorrows, unable to break free from the pain of losing his beloved disciple. It would be great if this little prodigy could become Master Xiao Feng's disciple, maybe that would make him feel better."
"Yes, I heard that the master didn't treat this new disciple well at all. He even deducted the basic training resources for his disciples. It's simply a waste of such a good seedling."
Tang Shi glanced at the person who was speaking without leaving a trace, wanting to know where they heard it from.
After all, she had never told anyone about the lack of resources, and it was even less likely that Sect Leader Zhong would go out and expose his shortcomings.
The people chatting were still talking animatedly: "The headmaster definitely doesn't want this little prodigy to grow up, because that would threaten the position of his own son."
"As for the young master's talent, it is indeed much stronger than ours, but in front of the little genius, he is still nothing."
“If the little prodigy can become Master Xiaofeng’s disciple, based on how generous he was to his disciples in the past, it won’t be long before his strength surpasses that of the young master and he becomes the new successor of the Jianxin Sect.”
Tang Shi listened to their conversation without any change in his expression. He even looked a little bored as he took out a jade pendant of martial arts and began to study it seriously.
At this time, the shopkeeper had also prepared the wine and brought out the wine gourd again.
Xiao Fengcan threw down a bag of spirit stones and said loudly in front of everyone: "In this life, I only have Song Ci as my disciple, and I will never accept another disciple."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Tang Shi just raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but continued to sit there motionless, showing no intention of chasing after him.
The few people who were originally chatting there just sighed a few times: "Master Xiaofeng is such a good master." and changed the subject.
After waiting for a while, a man wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face, with a solemn look on his face, walked into the restaurant. Tang Shi quickly raised his arm and greeted him happily: "Uncle Wuwei, here."
Wuwei quickly walked over to her and handed her a storage ring.
Tang Shi's action this time was rather sudden. All the things in the space were of divine or holy levels, especially the elixirs and talismans, which were of too high a grade and too conspicuous. He could only ask someone to send some things suitable for this small world over.
"Thank you, Uncle Wuwei, for making such a special trip."
"It's not hard." Wuwei said, and then sent a message to Tang Shi: "The Holy Lord has ordered that Wuyin, Wuse and I will be responsible for secretly protecting the Sixth Young Master."
"If you need us, you can always call us."
Tang Shi nodded in understanding. Gu Yuanfeng had said before that he would arrange a few bodyguards to protect her.
"Uncle Wuwei, can you give me a favor..."
After communicating with Wuwei, Tang Shi's purpose of this trip was almost accomplished. She then strolled around the town for a while, bought a lot of strange and weird things, and then returned to the sect with satisfaction.
Then, not far from her cave, she met Xiao Fengcan who was drinking alone.
In a sect, the rules must be followed. Tang Shi could only get off the flying vehicle and perform the etiquette of a junior: "Greetings, Master Xiaofeng."
"I heard that the headmaster has deducted your share?"
Hearing this, Tang Shi just maintained the posture of greeting, without responding, nor did he intend to clear the name of the master.
"You can use these resources first." Xiao Fengcan threw a storage bag into Tang Shi's arms, and without waiting for her to refuse, he turned and left: "Although I don't accept disciples anymore, if you have any questions during sword practice, you can come and ask me."
“No matter how talented you are, you still need to grow up before you can protect yourself.”
"Before that, just take care of yourself."
