81 The Cultivation Version of “I Bet Your Gun Has No Bullets”
In response to Fang Jinyu’s question, the little girl tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes widening even more. Then, she asked softly, “Are you stupid?”
Fang Jinyu didn’t say a word, but reached out and mess up her hair.
“I mean, I can learn it myself!” To protect her hair, the little girl decisively admitted defeat.
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Fang Jinyu thought, “I didn’t expect it.”
“It seems like I’ve started to become a little arrogant after I break through the late-stage Foundation Establishment stage. After all, this little girl has more cheats than me.”
After some self-reflection, Fang Jinyu nodded and said, “So that’s how it is. Qing Fu, you are really smart.”
The little girl was overjoyed to receive Fang Jinyu’s praise.
Qing Fu immediately waved her small hand and generously expressed, “Hehe, then I’ll teach you something I’ve understood recently!”
Fang Jinyu’s expression brightened. He didn’t expect to receive such a benefit.
Fang Jinyu didn’t dare to force the little girl to teach him anything. Regardless of the fact that whether she would teach him, no matter how he thought, he felt her behavior was like a precursor to the return of a mighty person…
However, if the little girl had taken the initiative to teach Fang Jinyu, then he would naturally learn it with ease.
After a while, Fang Jinyu received the “good stuff” that Qing Fu had taught him.
In fact, it was indeed a good thing.
It was a defensive secret technique. As long as one successfully cultivated it, one could let his shadow temporarily take over and avoid all fatal attacks. The shadow was shapeless and incorporeal, formed by the falling sunlight, and could be created and destroyed at will. The secret technique could be said to be an invincible one.
Most importantly, the secret technique wouldn’t consume much inner energy. Even Fang Jinyu, who was ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, could sustain it for an hour.
Fang Jinyu asked, “What’s this called?”
“I guess you can’t hit me.”
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Fang Jinyu felt he might as well not ask!
Fang Jinyu thought, “Why don’t you just name it ‘I bet your gun doesn’t have any bullets’?”
Qing Fu couldn’t help but squint her eyes slightly, and her delicate little face showed a little displeasure. She asked, “What’s wrong? Do you think I’ve named it badly?”
“This name… It’s good!” Fang Jinyu had no choice but to smile.
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu thought, “It’ll be better that you ask someone to help you name it next time.”
“If you call it ‘secret technique 1’, ‘secret technique 2’, ‘secret technique 3’ and so on will be better and suits the mystical effects of the two secret techniques called ‘I’m good at hiding’ or ‘I guess you can’t hit me’.”
Fang Jinyu mumbled in his heart. Then, he heard a knock on the door.
To learn the secret technique, “I guess you can’t hit me,” Fang Jinyu had specially brought Qing Fu to a separate guest room and even set up a restrictive enchantment around it.
A Qi Condensation stage disciple from the Tianling Sect who followed along stood outside and said, “Martial Uncle Fang, Jiuhu Sect’s Alchemist Cheng is also boarding this stargazing flying ship. He would like to invite you to the front hall for a chat.”
“Alright.”
Fang Jinyu replied and prepared to head over.
Although Fang Jinyu had never met Alchemist Cheng before, since Alchemist Cheng was from the Jiuhu Sect, he had no reason to refuse.
When Qing Fu saw Fang Jinyu stand up, she quickly followed.
Fang Jinyu asked, “You’re going too?”
“Yeah!”
“Alright then!” Fang Jinyu didn’t mind. If the little girl couldn’t help but interrupt, and Alchemist Cheng flew into a rage because a mere Qi Condensation stage cultivator dared to speak too much, he would step forward and speak up for justice. At that time, he might be able to learn another secret technique!
Although the names of the secret techniques were a little strange, it had to be said that each secret technique was more incredible and unpredictable than the previous one.
Even though Fang Jinyu had never really put “I’m good at hiding” into practice, he had already benefited greatly from opening up the “mystery realm” to obtain a small portable space.
Unfortunately, Alchemist Cheng was a particularly kind person and had even given the little girl a gift.
It was a short sword, a high-grade talisman tool.
Although it wouldn’t benefit Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, it was a very good talisman tool for Qi Condensation stage cultivators.
Of course, the little girl would definitely not take a fancy to it.
It was because when Fang Jinyu turned his head, he saw the little girl quietly gnawing on the talisman tool as if she was eating potato chips.
After a moment of silence, Fang Jinyu pretended he had not seen anything.
“Although we’ve never met, I’ve admired Senior Brother Fang’s character for a long time! In the past, Senior Brother Fang was the only one who dared to deliberately reduce the price of Foundation Establishment Elixirs for ordinary sect disciples and withstand the pressure from the immortal cultivation families!”
Alchemist Cheng praised Fang Jinyu profusely, looking like a fan of Fang Jinyu. Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu could only say, “I’m flattered.”
Afterward, Fang Jinyu had a simple conversation with Alchemist Cheng and found out that Alchemist Cheng was also going to the Utopia Immortal City to purchase spirit herbs, so he decided to go with him.
As there was still a day’s journey to go, the two of them parted ways and returned to their own rooms.
Qing Fu followed Fang Jinyu back.
“You want to sleep here too? Oh, the Tianling Sect has only prepared a guest room for a few Qi Condensation stage disciples. You can stay at my place for the night, I’ll go out and meditate for a night.” Fang Jinyu said as he took out the key to the guest room and handed it to her.
The little girl took the key and said, “Actually, I followed you here to tell you that the person you’ve met just now had no good intentions.”
“How did you know?” Fang Jinyu asked, but he wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, those who were unaccountably solicitous were either evil or thieves!
“I knew by eating the talisman tool he gave me.” The little girl’s answer shocked Fang Jinyu.
Fang Jinyu could not help but ask, “Is that also a secret technique?”
“You want to learn? Then, you can exchange something for it with me!” Qing Fu narrowed her large eyes.
Fang Jinyu asked, “I can give you elixirs that allow you to disguise yourself as a Core Formation stage cultivator. How is it?”
Qing Fu pouted and said, “I’ve already learned that.”
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Fang Jinyu thought for a moment and decided to give up on the secret technique that he was interested in. He asked, “Then, what is that Junior Brother Cheng planning?”
“He’s friends with a man with the surname Qi in the Utopia Immortal City. That man knew that you injured Su Yier, so he wanted to set a trap for you to make you wish you were dead. As for the specific information about the man surnamed Qi, I don’t know. The talisman tool was just refined not long ago, so it has very little knowledge!”
Qing Fu spread her small hands.
At this moment, the speechless Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Fang Jinyu thought, “Is this how will I live as cannon fodder?”
“No matter what I do, I will still be pushed to stand on the opposite side of the female lead in the end, huh? Moreover, the female lead must be on the side of justice?”
“What kind of fucking thing is this?!”
Fang Jinyu was furious. If not for the fact that Su Yier had a mysterious and powerful split soul, he would have thought of a way to deal with her first.
“The split soul in Su Yier’s body is probably related to the upper realm…” Fang Jinyu speculated in his mind, and he left the room.
