The Reliance Sect's Dark Workshop
"Many thanks, Senior Sister."
Nan Shan thanked her, the kind that was sincere.
It could be seen that Jiang Congshuang was a kind person.
In the face of this in-name disciple whom he had just met, to protect him without considering the gains and losses, an ordinary person would not be able to do it.
"No need to be so polite."
The smile on Jiang Congshuang's face grew wider. "Practice well and don't waste your talent."
"Senior Sister is right."
Nan Shan nodded heavily.
Since he had gained an advantage, he had to strike while the iron was hot and gain another wave of favorability.
As for the investment... That was not possible at the moment.
With Jiang Congshuang's personality, there was a high chance that she would not accept his gift.
Even he himself did not know where to start to give something to Senior Sister.
Give what?
Resources?
She was the number one in the Outer Sect, so she did not need this at all.
Give her a living thing?
Does my sister lack a little puppy to warm her bed?
Hehe .. Hahahaha.
Nan Shan felt that he would only ask such a question if he wanted to die.
It seemed that he could only wait until they were more familiar with each other.
Anyway, there was still a long way to go, so there was no need to rush.
However, Jiang Congshuang liked people who were eager to learn, so he could take advantage of the situation and ask questions that were beyond his current stage.
It refreshed her perception of herself again!
Hence...
"Senior Sister, I don't think there's any problem with drawing Qi into my body now. There's no difficulty in 'taking in Qi', but this' controlling Qi'. It's only at the level where it can be circulated. I want to release it out of my body, but I keep feeling like something is missing. What's the reason?"
"You've already reached such a level?"
Jiang Congshuang was a little taken aback. She thought for a while before explaining, "The ability to manifest spiritual energy is an ability that can only be controlled after one has cultivated to a higher level of the Qi refinement stage. It can be manifested through cultivation techniques, but... with your aptitude, it's not difficult for you to externalize it now. you just need a medium."
"A medium?" Nan Shan asked, "What's that?"
"At your current stage, weapons are the best."
Jiang Congshuang explained carefully, "With spiritual Qi attached to it, it will always be connected to you. It is much easier than transforming it into something out of thin air, and it can also make the weapon sharper and stronger."
Nan Shan understood and immediately had the idea of buying a weapon.
Jiang Congshuang was smart enough to see the eagerness in his eyes and said goodbye at the right time.
Nan Shan sent her off and only separated when they were outside the teaching hall.
Liu Changsheng immediately came up to him.
"How is it? Junior Brother, what did Senior Sister Jiang say to you?"
His big eyes were filled with curiosity.
"He said that he wanted to refund my tuition and some things about cultivation."
Nan Shan pinched his chin. "Senior Brother, where can we get weapons in our sect? Is there a place to collect it?"
"So it's like this..."
Liu Changsheng blinked his eyes. He looked as if he was disappointed that he had not heard anything special.
He thought for a while and changed the topic. "The sect's rules forbid in-name disciples from opening up weapons, cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, and all sorts of other resources. It's hard to even buy them, let alone collect them."
Then, he grinned.
"But..."
"Senior brother, I have a secret method!"
Nan Shan was speechless.
Can you not take a deep breath when you're talking?
He really wanted to hit him, or else he would not be able to calm down!
"Don't look at me like that!" Liu Changsheng put his arm around Nan Shan's shoulder and walked toward the teleportation array of enlightenment mountain. "Let's go. I'll take you to see the world today!" he said.
He took out two low-grade spirit stones.
The teleportation array flashed and swallowed the two of them.
When they reappeared, they were already in the wilderness.
The corners of Nan Shan's mouth twitched slightly. "Senior Brother, you call this seeing the world? I only saw two piles of cow dung and a pair of wild dogs mating..."
"Don't mind the details. If you want to buy something that is strictly prohibited in the sect, how can you take the ordinary path?"
Liu Changsheng chuckled and led him into the depths of the forest.
When they arrived outside a dark cave.
Liu Changsheng found a dozen tokens strung together in the storage bag at his waist. After rummaging through it for a while, he took one of them and suddenly threw it into the air.
The token kept spinning in the air, and the complicated lines on it gradually glowed with orange light.
"Boundless heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the universe, open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the token seemed to have hit something, and it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
A thin and smooth light screen appeared.
The light that flashed from the token caused water-like ripples to spread out, causing the space to constantly distort.
After a while, a small door actually cracked open, revealing a completely different scenery!
The sounds of bidding and other noises interweaved and kept pouring out.
The place that was supposed to be a cave had become a crowded alley.
On both sides of the street were low-rise buildings filled with magical artifacts, talismans, and other things that only cultivators could use.
Although the road was narrow, it was very lively.
"F*ck!"
Nan Shan looked at this scene in amazement. He had never imagined that there would be such a place in the reliance sect.
It was really a different world!
Liu Changsheng took back the token and led him inside. The torn light curtain immediately recovered. From the inside, it looked like they were at the end of the street.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a brown-robed disciple walked over from the side. He held a long sword in his hand and stared at Liu Changsheng. "Kid, I don't need to tell you the rules of the dark workshop, do I?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I understand."
Liu Changsheng immediately took out a bag full of spirit stones and handed it to the other party.
The Inner Sect disciple weighed the sword in his hand. His expression was calm as he lowered the blade in his hand.
Liu Changsheng pulled Nan Shan and quickly walked into the crowd. He only slowed down after he confirmed that the other party's gaze was not on him.
He said in a low voice.
"Junior Brother, remember what I said. Don't reveal your wealth."
Nan Shan nodded without leaving a trace and turned to look elsewhere.
Finally, he had the chance to observe the environment of 'dark workshop' up close.
At a glance, most of the people had just set up a stall on the ground, and the things they were selling were also very varied. From finished products to materials, many kinds of things took up a lot of space.
In the distance, there were a few buildings that seemed to be selling higher grade items.
After walking around for a while, Nan Shan stopped at a small stall that sold weapons and matching cultivation methods.
