Cultivation of Immortality

After leaving Xianpin Pavilion, Zhixia and Xiaochun left Fangshi directly with Xunyi and flew towards Zixiao Palace.

Xunyi had nothing to say and asked Zhixia, "Second Senior Sister, have you bought enough cocoons?"

Zhixia didn't answer and asked, "What did you want to do just now?"

Xunyi lowered his head and said, "I didn't want to do anything. I was just bored. I wanted to ask how much spiritual stone that Taoist robe is worth. I've looked at all the silkworm cocoons in Beiling Valley and Jing'an River."

Zhixia stopped asking. It was easy to find out the truth. All he had to do was ask the old man to show his memory at that time. But that would seem to be making a fuss out of a molehill. Not only would it make the old man suspicious, but it would also be disrespectful to this junior brother. It's better to just cover up the past.

Xiaochun didn't ask a word until the three of them broke up in Zixiao Palace. Xunyi didn't know if the second senior sister said something to her or if the senior sister just had this temperament.

Returning to the small courtyard of Guanhe Island, after the two sat down, Zhixia stared at Xunyi and said, "What did you say you went to Xianpin Pavilion for? I didn't hear clearly at the time."

Xunyi poured a cup of tea and handed it over, saying with a sweet look on his face, "Sister, drink tea."

Zhixia did not take the tea cup, but looked at him quietly and asked, "Do you still want me to take you out in the future?"

Xunyi smiled playfully and said, "Senior sister, you don't have to scare me. Tell me how big an official the supervisory order is? What does he care about? If you don't tell me anything, won't it be easy for me to do unmeasured things?"

Zhixia took the teacup and put it on the table, saying, "It's not that I won't tell you, but I haven't had time to tell you yet. In Puyunzhou, the top disciples of each wealthy family have positions in the Qianzonghui. This is to balance the situation." There are benefits for all parties, and secondly, they can receive a hefty salary. Many of our twelfth generation disciples of Zixiao Palace have official positions. Few of us actually take care of affairs. He is a subordinate. The Supervisory Order has a lot of power. All matters related to Yousi are under my control. However, I only asked a few words when I was free. Unless there is a big conflict of interest, I will step in to take care of it. Soon you will also have a big official position. It will definitely be a sinecure with a generous salary at first, and then you will be assigned a real power. You can do nothing, but you must be extremely careful if you want to exercise power. You have to discuss it with us. Only in this way can we make a decision, and we are the same. When big things happen, we have to summon the powerful sects to discuss and make decisions, because if we are not careful, we will offend other wealthy families. "

Xun Yi said with a dull expression, "Forget it, I'd better not care about anything. It's up to you to decide everything. The master asked me to practice according to Nan Jingzhou's method. I'm not the material to be an official."

"It's up to you." Zhixia picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I'm done, it's your turn."

"I haven't finished asking yet, senior sister, is your weaving order genuine? Is your skill in refining ghost silk top-notch?"

Zhixia said proudly, "There will be no more than three people in front of me, including Master."

"Is the master's wife the best among them?"

Zhixia blinked at him and said, "Master is not very interested in this skill. After teaching it to me, I rarely refine it again."

Xunyi smiled knowingly and understood that she was just out of respect for her master.

Zhixia made a serious face and said in a scolding tone, "Are you done asking?"

"I don't dare to ask until I've finished asking." Xunyi muttered and looked at her with a troubled expression.

Seeing him like this, Zhixia softened her expression and asked with concern, "What are you hiding?"

"I spent all the spiritual stones." Xunyi whispered.

"Three hundred thousand for you

used up? ! What did you buy? "Zhixia looked at him in disbelief.

Xunyi looked into her eyes and said, "Sister, don't be angry. There is something I dare not tell you, but I have to tell you."

Zhixia looked at his sincere and timid eyes, frowned slightly, then softened her face and said in a gentle tone, "Let's talk, although three hundred thousand is not a small amount, it is nothing."

"It's not about the spirit stone, senior sister, can I trust you?" Xunyi's eyes became more and more pitiful.

Zhixia lovingly reached out and touched his cheek, saying, "As long as what you did is not disobedient, I will do my best to help you calm down, but you can't do it again next time."

Xunyi shook his head slightly and said, "Sister, I didn't do anything wrong, but I have a secret about myself that I don't even dare to tell my wife."

Zhixia's face turned solemn and she asked nervously, "Are you a spy sent by the Heavenly Law Alliance?"

"Senior sister, where are you thinking? Forget it, I accept my fate. Just take out that wooden bowl." He seemed to be giving up.

Zhixia put the wooden bowl on the table and looked at him suspiciously.

Xunyi took out a handful of silkworm cocoons and threw them into the bowl, saying, "Take a look."

Zhixia saw that the nine silkworm cocoons came from nine origins, and said angrily, "You really have an idea. No wonder you spent all three hundred thousand. If this happens again, I will cut off your spiritual stone." "

Xunyi ignored her and started to pinch open the cocoons in the bowl one by one. Then he said to the stunned Zhixia, "The secret I dare not tell is that I can tell the quality of the cocoons."

"How is this possible?" Zhixia moved his gaze from the nine silk balls, which were the lowest and middle grade, to Xunyi's face.

Xunyi took out the cocoons from the bowl and put them aside. Then he took nine more from the Qiankun bag and threw them into the bowl, saying, "See for yourself, there will definitely not be any lower than the middle grade."

Zhixia opened the cocoons without hesitation, and found three top-grade ones, four top-grade ones, and two mid-grade ones, which were on par with the nine just now. She raised her head and looked at Xun Yi blankly.

Xunyi looked at her with a grimace, as if something terrible had happened to him.

After Zhixia regained consciousness, her eyes immediately showed ecstasy, she grabbed his shoulders and shook him, "How did you do that?"

Xunyi took out a silkworm cocoon and held it between their eyes and said, "After I learned from you yesterday how to identify silkworm cocoons in the Beiling Valley, when I carefully observed the nine cocoons, for some reason I suddenly saw that the cocoons were emitting a shimmering light. Yeah, I didn’t see them with this kind of shine when I bought them.”

Zhixia remembered his strange behavior of closing his eyes and standing up and backing away when he was identifying silkworm cocoons yesterday, and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and urged him to continue with his eyes.

"Well... I was very confused at the time. I didn't know if everyone could see this light, or if only I could see it. At first, I suspected that I didn't look carefully enough when I bought these cocoons, but after thinking about it, I thought That's not the case. Although the light on the cocoon is extremely weak, it can definitely be seen under the circumstances. "

Zhixia took the cocoon he held and observed it carefully, "What kind of light is it?"

"It emits evenly like a luminous pearl. It is very light and weak. The color is the same as that of silk. Good quality is slightly brighter, while dry silk does not emit light." At this point, Xunyi tilted his head and looked at the hand held by Zhixia. After picking up a silkworm cocoon, he continued, "My ability is sometimes good and bad. Now I can't see that kind of light, and I can only make a rough distinction. I can choose the middle grade or above, but I'm not sure if I want to subdivide it further. Got it." After leaving Xianpin Pavilion, Zhixia and Xiaochun left Fangshi directly with Xunyi and flew towards Zixiao Palace.

Xunyi had nothing to say and asked Zhixia, "Second Senior Sister, have you bought enough cocoons?"

Zhixia didn't answer and asked, "What did you want to do just now?"
