Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 40: Demon Fox
When he got up early in the morning, Tang Jie first went to Lingtai Pavilion to find Mrs. Shui to pay back the debt of one hundred thousand spiritual money and the interest.
Of course he didn't pay it all back, but left a balance of 10,000 spiritual coins.
When you have no money to repay your debt, the creditor wants to live in your home.
But when you have money to pay off your debts, your creditors will be eager for you to keep borrowing.
Money will never fall into the hands of those who really need it.
For Tang Jie, maintaining appropriate debts will be beneficial to his future actions. Gu Changqing and Wei Tianzhi are the most obvious examples. Tang Jie also gradually realized that he was probably not a peaceful person by nature. In this case, he might as well use this debt to buy insurance for himself.
With this insurance, he can attack more boldly and make more profits.
At this time, what he borrowed was actually not money, but power and influence!
Despite this, Mrs. Shui was still surprised to see him pay off the 90,000 yuan debt in one go.
"It seems that your puppet with one hundred thousand soul coins really helped you make a lot of money." Mrs. Shui said with a smile.
She teased Tang Jie with the puppet that had never existed, which made Tang Jie feel a little embarrassed. He could only lower his head and said: "Without Madam's strong support, Tang Jie would not be where he is today."
Mrs. Shui smiled and looked at Tang Jie as if she were her own nephew: "After all, it is your own hard work that has made you reach this point. But risks are risks after all. If you take a risk once, you will be lucky enough to succeed. In the long run, When walking on the edge of a cliff, you will inevitably make a mistake. In the future, you still have to walk steadily to be the right path."
Tang Jie felt ashamed when he heard this, knowing that Madam Shui was trying to wake him up and warn him. He should not think that the Xiyue Sect really knew nothing. Some things were hard to be confused about after all.
I quickly stood up and responded: "Thank you, madam, for your advice. I understand."
"Yes." Mrs. Shui pointed to Tang Jie's bag of mustard seeds: "How much money do you have in that bag?"
"...Twelve thousand dollars." After thinking about it, Tang Jie finally answered honestly.
Mrs. Shui chuckled: "It's clever...but it's good. This way, we can have a clear answer for some things in the future, so that people won't say we are biased. By the way, are there any unprocessed things in your bag? Take it?" Show it to me. It’s the same as selling it, or letting me handle it, so you don’t have to take advantage of others.”
Tang Jie thought for a while and said: "There is something that I haven't dealt with yet. I don't know what it is or what its value is. I just want to ask Madam for advice."
As he spoke, he took out the bead he had obtained after killing Gu Changqing.
After acquiring this thing, Tang Jie repeatedly studied it in his spare time, but he never figured out anything useful.
Let’s call it a treasure. No matter how much spiritual energy is input, there is no response.
Let’s just say she’s not a treasure. There’s no way she’s an ordinary person who could be solemnly and solemnly hidden by Gu Changqing in a mustard bag.
He also asked some merchants when selling other magic weapons. Unfortunately, none of the famous people in the hall recognized this item, and some even said it was worthless.
At this point, Tang Jie didn't want to hide it from Mrs. Shui anymore, so he simply took it out.
When Mrs. Shui saw the bead, she exclaimed, "This thing is really weird."
I took it and looked at it carefully, my brows were knit together.
"What can Madam see?"
But Mrs. Shui just frowned and said nothing, and said after a while: "This thing is very weird. Its material is unheard of. The spiritual energy enters it but there is no reaction. I can't tell what it is. I'm afraid it requires at least a real person level to identify it."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Tang Jie: "Did you get this from Gu Changqing?"
Tang Jie nodded.
Mrs. Shui thought for a while and said, "If you believe me, leave this bead with me and I will go find someone to find out what it is."
Tang Jie nodded and said: "Since I have given it to Madam, I can certainly trust Madam."
Mrs. Shui smiled with satisfaction: "No matter what this bead is, it is not ordinary. If you can trust me so much, I won't treat you badly. Let the ten thousand dollars be used as a pledge, and I won't ask you for interest. , you can practice in your own good life."
Tang Jie was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed deeply to Madam Shui: "Thank you Madam for your love."
Mrs. Shui then waved her hand and let him go.
After leaving Lingtai Pavilion, Tang Jie went to Jingxin Garden.
Wei Tianchong is practicing hard in the garden. The completion of Lin Lang's task gave him hope of success, and he has redoubled his efforts in training. Now he is practicing hard every day and making great progress.
Seeing Tang Jie coming over at this moment, Wei Tianchong was excited and shouted: "Tang Jie is going to take one of my moves!"
The bone-penetrating ax in his hand had already struck out with a fierce roar of wind, heading towards Tang Jie.
Tang Jie moved forward, casually holding Wei Tianchong's wrist. Unexpectedly, Wei Tianchong pushed back with his hand, and a fireball hit him.
"Huh?" Tang Jie did not expect such a change and was forced to stop. The flames dissipated in front of Tang Jie. Wei Tianchong had already put away his ax and said with a smile: "How?"
"Have you improved your fireball skills?"
"Well, I have been practicing **** the road these days." Wei Tianchong replied excitedly.
He has practiced this fireball technique for a long time, but he has never been familiar with it. He can't use it every time during war. On the contrary, it is because I have been practicing the Ghost Ax Technique to create a puppet, and it is much better than the Fireball Technique.
After the battle in the Lin Mansion, Wei Tianchong discovered his own problems and began to consciously make up for his shortcomings, and gradually became proficient in the fireball technique.
"Didn't I tell you not to rush into magic for the time being and to improve your realm first?" Tang Jie asked.
Wei Tianchong scratched his head: "I know it too, but the realm impact cannot be achieved in a day. I don't know when the second task will come. I also want to improve myself early so that I can share your worries."
Is that so? Tang Jie smiled: "The young master is indeed much more sensible than before."
Wei Tianchong was very embarrassed to hear this.
"It's useless to have good ideas without correct methods. After all, the power of fireball is a little small, and it will be useless to practice more."
Wei Tianchong said with a smile: "I know, isn't this the wind helping the fire..."
He spoke incoherently. Tang Jie didn't understand what the wind-assisted fire had to do with his practice of fireball, and ignored him. He just said lightly: "It's up to you. However, the fireball technique can only improve your current strength to a limited extent. It will take a short time. If you want your strength to break through, you need to find another way."
"Oh? Do you have a method?" Wei Tianchong was overjoyed.
"Have you forgotten that you still have a treasure in your hand, but you have never used its power?" As he spoke, Tang Jie's eyes fell on the little fox not far away.
Seeing the little fox, Wei Tianchong suddenly realized, but the next moment he was discouraged and said: "It's useless. This stinky fox doesn't know what's going on. He doesn't listen to me at all. No matter how many dangers I encounter along the way, I will never stop." If I don't take action, I still don't even know what abilities it has. I think it's probably just a piece of trash and can only be kept as a pet."
"Trash?" Tang Jie sneered: "If it is trash, it will be an unscrupulous beast in the world."
"Huh?" Wei Tianchong was stunned: "Tang Jie, you mean..."
"What kind of person is Luo Tianshen? If you stay with him, even trash can be turned into gold. I used to sneer at your adventure, but now it seems that this little fox is really extraordinary. The reason why it is It doesn't obey your orders, not because it is incapable, but precisely because it is too tolerant...it looks down on you!"
As Tang Jie spoke, the little fox who had been sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Jie. A pair of fox eyes shone with human light and shone brightly.
Even Wei Tianchong understood this scene and blurted out: "Tang...Tang Jie...it can understand what you are saying!"
Wei Tianchong's voice shrilled as he spoke.
Before the monster reaches the enlightenment stage, it cannot understand human nature and cannot understand what humans say.
The tiger monster on Tiger Roaring Peak can understand human language because of its blood inheritance. It is rare that the little fox in front of you can understand human nature.
"What's so strange? Without wisdom, how could it possibly lure you into its trap." Tang Jie sneered.
Wei Tianchong blushed: "I agreed not to mention this, but I still bring it up."
Tang Jie frowned: "Master, don't just look at things on the surface, you have to learn to understand the meaning behind them."
"Huh?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.
Tang Jie said: "I just said that this little fox is very tolerant. But since it is very tolerant, why did it use a trap when I caught you? You never thought about this problem. ?"
Wei Tianchong was stunned. He was just a bit naive by nature, but he was not an idiot after all. After being awakened by Tang Jie, he finally came to his senses and blurted out: "Does it mean that this little fox's ability is not in fighting?"
"It might be just the opposite..." Tang Jie said meaningfully.
The little fox's fur suddenly stood on end. He stood up and stepped back, looking at Tang Jie with alert eyes.
Tang Jie smiled: "What? Now you know you are afraid? Then show some real skills, otherwise don't blame me for ripping your bones and cramping and turning you into a pot of spiritual meat."
As he said that, he grabbed the little fox with one hand.
The little fox hissed, suddenly jumped up, stepped on all four claws, landed in the air as if it were on flat ground, and started running in the air. Wei Tianchong's eyes widened when he saw it: "Talented Lingbo Steps! ”
After all, he is a student of Xiyue. Even if he cheats in the big exam, he still knows something. What this demon fox used at this moment was clearly a rare demonic beast's natural magic called Lingbo Bu. It could walk in the air as if it were on the ground, and it was born to be able to fly.
Poor Wei Tianchong took this little guy back and forth through half of the Wenxin Kingdom. He didn't know that this little guy could fly on his own, and that monsters are born with strong blood, even monsters that don't rule the roost with strength. , it’s no problem to bring a Wei Tianchong.
No wonder it refused to show off its abilities in the past. This is a naturally gifted aerial mount!
"It's more than that!" Tang Jie laughed, stamped on the ground, and rushed towards the demon fox in the sky. ~IndoMTL.com~ The demon fox was still agile in the air, turning sharply to avoid Tang Jie's capture.
Tang Jie hit the air with one blow, and with a long laugh, the heart-breaking knife appeared in his hand.
Wei Tianchong saw it and shouted anxiously: "Don't kill it!"
This is a demonic beast that can control the air and fly. It is extremely valuable. You must know that although students can now learn flying spells, their spiritual energy is limited. Even students at the Linghai level usually cannot fly for half an hour before all their spiritual energy is consumed.
For this reason, although there are flying spells, students still need mounts to travel. As for Tang Jie and others, they don't even learn, because most of the flying spells at this stage are limited in speed, not conducive to combat, and have an element of showing off. More than practical.
This demon fox has a talent for volleying, and its speed and durability are far superior to ordinary spells. It is really a rare treasure.
But Tang Jie laughed and said: "If you don't obey orders, what's the use of being valuable? Either die or surrender!"
As he spoke, the heart-breaking knife slashed hard, and a strong wind swept through him without showing any mercy.
The demon fox watched the heart-breaking knife coming, with a strange luster in its eyes, and its figure flashed like a ghost. It unexpectedly dodged the knife at the last moment, and hurriedly jumped upwards, staying in the air, watching coldly. Tang Jie's green eyes actually glowed with blood, showing that he was angry in his heart.
The next moment it opened its sharp mouth, pointed at Tang Jie, and let out a silent neigh.
A crescent moon light appeared in its mouth, glowing with silver, and flew towards Tang Jie.
Faced with this blow, Tang Jie seemed to be so frightened that he didn't even need to resist with his body. Instead, he fell rapidly and rolled on the spot.
The half-moon ring flew across the sky, passed over Tang Jie's head, and landed on a rockery in the backyard behind him.
It just passed by so smoothly. The rockery didn't move at first, and then half of the rockery suddenly slid down from above, leaving only a smooth and smooth cross-section.
