214 Exiting Seclusion
Dong Xi collected her thoughts and finished refining a furnace of medicinal pills. Her time was also up, and she had to exit the alchemy room.
Dong Xi walked out of the alchemy room and took out a communication jade slip. On it was a message from Ke Xin.
[Sister! I’ve broken through! Let’s go out!]
Seeing Ke Xin’s message, even if Dong Xi was not by her side, Dong Xi could imagine that Ke Xin must be very happy.
This time, Ke Xin really went into seclusion for five months. Ke Xin loved to play by nature, so she did not use her communication jade slip even once for five whole months.
Although she had been in seclusion for a long time, she had finally broken through.
Her double spirit root value did not break through 80, but she managed to break through to the third level of the Qi refinement stage in two years. This was enough to show Ke Xin’s hard work.
Dong Xi immediately sent a voice message to Ke Xin, “Why don’t we go to the county to celebrate with you?”
Cultivation also had to be both tight and loose. Ke Xin had been in seclusion for such a long time, it was time for her to go out for a walk.
Ke Xin immediately replied with a voice message, “Okay!”
The two of them set a time. The next morning, Dong Xi stopped cultivating. She did not cultivate her body or the sword, nor did she practice alchemy. She changed her clothes and rode on little green leaf to the outer gate to pick Ke Xin up.
Ke Xin saw the familiar little green leaf fly over. Dong Xi made way for her and Ke Xin immediately jumped on it.
Ke Xin said, “Little Xi, I’ve broken through. I should be able to refine pills now! You told me to store all the spirit herbs I brought, and I’ve stored them all!”
Speaking of this, Ke Xin had to admit that this sister of hers had great foresight.
Ke Xin knew a few people in the outer sect. Most of them were in a hurry to refine pills the moment they broke through to the second level. The ten portions of spirit plants that they had every month were all wasted.
“In two days,” Dong Xi said with a smile, “go to the alchemy room and cultivate in seclusion for a few days. I think you’ll be able to do it very soon.”
Ke Xin said, “I don’t need two days, I’ll go immediately tomorrow! Also, I’ve stayed up all night today to read the experience you’ve taught me in the alchemy room. I’m sure it’ll be of use tomorrow.”
Dong Xi was very pleased to see Ke Xin working so hard.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know,” said Dong Xi.
“Alright, it’s a deal then,” Ke Xin nodded.
The two of them happily ran to the county town, wanting to have a good meal to celebrate. However, when they passed by a young Immortal’s shop, Dong Xi seemed to see a very familiar back.
Dong Xi could not tell who it was for a moment. Perhaps she was mistaken, so she did not pay much attention.
…
It was Su Cheng’s first time in a place like this, and there were many little toys inside.
There were ducks that could spray water, and there was a water-elemental formation in the ducks. There was also a zipline device that contained a wind-elemental formation, which could train the children’s eyesight.
Su Cheng raised his hand and touched the hanging tiger. The tiger opened its eyes and roared.
Su Cheng had been disinterested the whole time, his expression calm.
The waiter looked at Su Cheng. Although his appearance had changed a little, Su Cheng’s strong aura was still there, so the waiter did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing that Su Cheng had been shopping for a long time and still had some doubts on his face, the waiter immediately smiled and said, “Immortal Master, is this your first time being a father?”
Su Cheng, “…”
What? A father? Su Cheng was still young and did not have a partner. How did he become a father?
The change in Su Cheng’s expression was undetectable, and the waiter guessed it right. He said, “Immortal Master, the goldfish bubbles there are selling very well. There is a water-type formation that can create bubbles. The bubbles can last for more than 15 minutes…”
“Give me one,” Su Cheng said lightly.
The waiter saw that Su Cheng immediately asked for it, and his smile became even wider. The waiter continued, “And this is a psychedelic ghost formation. It’s used to deal with disobedient children and is also very popular. Of course, it’s not that your children are disobedient. It’s just that after you buy this, not only can children play with it, adults can also encourage adults to play with children. It can promote parent-child relationships.”
Hearing this, Su Cheng thought of Dong Xi, this little girl. She was indeed disobedient. He said, “I’ll take that one too.”
The waiter continued, “This is called ‘dance upon hearing the rooster’. It’s used to urge children to cultivate. If the child only wants to play and doesn’t want to cultivate, this rooster will chase after him and peck at his buttocks. Of course, it won’t hurt him much.”
This was good. Su Cheng nodded and said, “Not bad, get one too.”
…
Su Cheng bought a lot of things without even realizing it. He bought so many things that the waiter ran out of items to recommend to him. Su Cheng said, “I’ll take these first to settle the score.”
The waiter was overjoyed. It was not easy for mortals like them to survive in the world of cultivators. Today’s big order would allow the waiter to live comfortably for two to three years.
