A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

Pei Cangli nodded after hearing Xuan Shang's words. No wonder his face was so pale. It must be because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

"Miss Pei, you don't seem surprised at all that I'm a ghost cultivator?"

Pei Cangli explained seriously, "I just guessed that you are not a human, so I can understand why you said you are a ghost cultivator."

"Everyone in the world hates ghost cultivators. They think we are sinister and cunning and only deserve to live in the dark. So once we find a ghost cultivator, cultivators basically shout and kill him. If they find they can't win, they will call more people to highlight their sense of justice as human cultivators."

Xuan Shang looked at Pei Cangli and teased, "Miss Pei, aren't you afraid of us ghost cultivators? Or is it that as a casual cultivator, Miss Pei doesn't have the sense of belonging of a sect disciple?"

Pei Cangli looked at Xuan Shang and said casually, "What about ghost cultivators? There are good people and bad people in the human race. Right and wrong are not divided by species, but by the individual. It depends on how he chooses. If he chooses the side of good, then he is a good person no matter what race he is, and vice versa."

After hearing Pei Cangli's answer, Xuan Shang felt a sudden skip in his heart. If someone had told him this at the beginning, would he have chosen another path?

Looking at the cold but alert woman in front of him, Xuan Shang thought that it would be great if he could meet her earlier. After living in darkness for a long time, he suddenly felt the sunshine on him. He was very grateful that it was he who came out to complete this mission.

"Friend Xuan, you haven't said you have any news to tell me yet?"

Xuan Shang was about to speak when his subordinate came and whispered something in his ear. His face suddenly turned cold and he stood up. "I'm really sorry, Miss Pei, I have something urgent to deal with right now. How about we exchange jade slips and I'll contact you later?"

Seeing his expression, Pei Cangli estimated that he would not be able to finish the work in a short time. After exchanging the jade slips, he said that they would make an appointment for three days later and they would still meet at this place then.

Watching Xuan Shang hurriedly leaving, Hong Yu looked at Pei Cangli and said, "Sister, what do you think this ghost cultivator wants to do by coming to us?"

"I don't know either. I just don't feel any malicious intent at the moment. Let's talk about it in three days."

In a narrow alley.

"Master, we have found the person who auctioned the Jin Zhiyu. We also found the storage bag where he put the Jin Zhiyu when he auctioned it, but we opened it and found nothing. However, the casual cultivator insisted that he put the Jin Zhiyu in the storage bag after he got it. He even checked it before leaving the inn."

"Have you ever searched your soul?"

"Master, we have searched it, and it is indeed as he said, except that he said he encountered a ghost. I am not sure if there were other ghost cultivators who came here, so I wanted you to go and take a look."

"Huh, ghosts, if there really are ghosts in this world, then what are we? Wandering ghosts?"

Xuan Shang reviewed the casual cultivator's memory again and found that there was indeed nothing wrong. It was just as he said. He glanced at the casual cultivator who had fallen to the ground and said, "Deal with it. Don't let others find out."

It seems that there are other people in this Xianren Residence who are also looking for Jin Zhiyu. They just take this opportunity to muddy the waters after everyone arrives.

Pei Cangli took advantage of these few days to go into the space and practice day and night. This time she adjusted the time to one day outside and one year in practice. When she came out again, her cultivation was about to break through the Jindan stage.

The system's rewards have arrived, the space has expanded several times, the medicine field has also expanded, but the spiritual spring has not changed much. Seeing that his territory has become bigger again, Pei Cangli feels that it is time to add something into it.

Last time Hongyu suggested planting a few trees, but he hasn’t found a suitable one yet. After meeting Xuanshang this time, Pei Cangli has nothing to do, so he plans to go for a walk in the surrounding mountains and forests.

Pei Cangli came to the place where they had been to the restaurant last time. Xuan Shang had already arrived, but Hong Yu did not show up, so he asked her to go into the space to practice as well.

"Friend Xuan, I'm sorry I'm late."

"Miss Pei, there's no need to apologize. I just had nothing to do, so I came early."

As soon as Pei Cangli sat down, the restaurant waiter served the store's top-notch snacks and tea. Last time, she was reluctant to order them, but she didn't expect to enjoy them today.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan, you are so polite. You shared the news with me and it cost you money."

Xuan Shang smiled disapprovingly and said, "They are all worthless things. The main thing is that Miss Pei deserves the best."

Pei Cangli suddenly looked at Xuan Shang with vigilance. This man was trying to please her for no reason. He was either a traitor or a thief. She was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. What was there for him to care about?

Xuan Shang looked at Pei Cangli, and suddenly he looked at him with inquiring eyes. He smiled in his heart, at such a young age, with such a scrutinizing expression on her face, she is indeed not a simple girl. It seems that she is not easy to deceive.

"Miss Pei, you probably don't know yet, but Tianxin Sea is about to become lively. It is said that within this month, treasures will appear on the sea. Are you interested?"

Pei Cangli was quite interested. Who wouldn't want to share a piece of the treasure? But he told me this news. Did he want to cooperate? But he was surrounded by a group of people. He shouldn't need me, a foundation-building period.

"Of course I'm interested in the treasure, but I don't know what Fellow Daoist Xuan meant by telling me about it. I don't think Fellow Daoist Xuan likes to do this when he has nothing to do."

Xuan Shang smiled and said teasingly, "Of course he is attracted to Miss Pei."

Pei Cangli listened to Xuan Shang's words and blinked his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan, what you said may be enough to fool a teenage girl, but it's a pity that it has no effect on me."

Xuan Shang couldn't help but reach out and ruffle Pei Cangli's hair, "What are you thinking about? I mean I appreciate your strength. You have water spirit roots, so treasure hunting in the sea is just twice as good as getting half the result."

Pei Cangli blushed and said, "Is that so? Let's have fun working together." After that, he quickly picked up a cup of tea and drank it to hide his embarrassment.

Pei Cangli really wanted to swear in his heart. He was actually teased by someone and couldn't even say anything back. Who would understand this kind of humiliation? It would be better to just find someone to fight with.

Looking at the blushing girl in front of him, Xuan Shang couldn't help but want to tease her. He looked like a cunning little fox, but when he teased her a little, she blushed like a little white flower. She was probably scolding him in her heart.

"Miss Pei, do you have time these days? Are you interested in going to the nearby Tianxin Sea with me to hunt monsters together? Just treat it as a tacit practice in advance. After all, the monsters in the sea are different from those on the mainland."

Pei Cangli thought about it and realized that he had been practicing in the space for so long, and this was a good opportunity to consolidate his cultivation. He could also learn about the monsters in the sea in advance, so that when the treasure really appeared, he would have more confidence. So he nodded in agreement.

The two of them agreed to go together in the afternoon to hunt monsters in the distant Tianxin Sea to avoid being disturbed by the monks who had recently come to the area to hunt for treasure. After having some tea, they set off directly.

"I wonder what Miss Pei uses as a flying magic weapon?"
