Chapter 226: Restoring the Black Chi Seal
Little friend, that’s just a polite way of addressing someone!
Zhai Xiaotian has walked the Yunzhou Continent for so many years, but a cultivator like Song Jiulai.
This is the first time he’s ever seen one.
So brazen, isn’t she afraid I’ll reveal her secret?
Of course, he was just thinking that; if he wanted to say it, he would have already.
Song Jiulai has an incredibly thick skin and could still ask as if nothing happened, “Senior, how are you so amazing? You recognized me?”
“You do have some skill. If I hadn’t recognized your gait, I wouldn’t have recognized you.”
Song Jiulai:?
She just knew the System’s disguise wouldn’t be so easy to see through.
She hadn’t expected Zhai Xiaotian to be even more abnormal than she imagined.
Recognizing someone by their walking posture? What kind of nonsense is that?
However, this also reminded Song Jiulai that just changing her appearance wasn’t enough; she needed to consciously differentiate her habits and behaviors.
But it wasn’t a big problem; she changed her face to something completely different almost every time she appeared in a new place.
If you can’t create beautiful puppets, don’t all ugly ones have their own unique charm?
A cold laugh escaped Zhai Xiaotian’s lips, as if he were amused by Song Jiulai’s attitude and actions.
Then, he took out a small gourd from his waist.
This gourd was greenish-white but had wooden patterns, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.
Song Jiulai’s eyes widened with a ‘swish.’
She had magic treasures, but she truly lacked a flying magic treasure.
She had taken this gourd to Liuxian City last time.
No, it didn’t seem to be this color.
Zhai Xiaotian dangled the palm-sized gourd, and Song Jiulai’s eyeballs followed its sway.
“I’ll lend you this gourd. Return it to me after you come back from Liuxian City.”
Although Song Jiulai really wanted it, she swallowed and said, “Senior, I’m going to a very distant place this time and will likely be gone for a long time.”
Zhai Xiaotian’s eyes narrowed, and he guessed almost instantly, “Longshuang Great Marsh?”
Song Jiulai smiled without speaking.
“You all have quite the nerve. The Longshuang Great Marsh is not a good place. But…”
Zhai Xiaotian seemed to be deliberately creating suspense, and Song Jiulai scratched her head but didn’t ask.
“…” Zhai Xiaotian: “Why aren’t you asking me what ‘but’?”
Song Jiulai: “Aren’t you about to tell me yourself?”
Zhai Xiaotian: “…”
He actually felt a tightness in his throat, a sense of being exasperated.
After a while, Zhai Xiaotian still gave her the gourd, “This gourd only needs an incantation to activate, and it’s enough for your needs right now.”
Holding the gourd, Song Jiulai had an important matter to attend to: “Can I enter Liuxian City directly?”
Zhai Xiaotian glanced at her, “Since you’re going to the Longshuang Great Marsh, just say you’re registering, and the gatekeepers will let you in.”
Song Jiulai thought that made sense.
Zhai Xiaotian told her the activation incantation, and Song Jiulai happily left.
She hadn’t expected to gain such a reward from this trip.
Zhai Xiaotian was truly so noble and righteous.
Song Jiulai, in her joy, declared, “From now on, I won’t chat about him behind his back.”
System: “Meaning you’ll chat about him to his face?”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Watching Song Jiulai’s retreating back, Zhai Xiaotian suddenly said, “It’s just a temporary loan, not a gift. It’s useless to me anyway…”
Song Jiulai examined the gourd Zhai Xiaotian had given her.
She didn’t know its specific grade, and planned to test it outside Wang’an County Town.
However, as she passed the office, she heard the commotion inside.
She then remembered that it was the time for new players to enter the game, and she no longer appeared before new players.
She hadn’t appeared before players many times, so many players actually didn’t know what Song Jiulai looked like.
Besides their love for the game, the Sect Master was indeed very mysterious and noble in the players’ hearts.
And this mysterious and noble Sect Master was now using the face of an ugly man, bending over to peek inside.
Unfortunately, the office was built too securely, and she couldn’t see what was happening inside.
And she couldn’t fly here.
Ever since Wang’an County was rebuilt, a ban had been placed here; flying was not allowed within the county town.
This was because traffic management laws had not yet been enacted.
What if someone was hit by someone flying around?
Song Jiulai took a couple of glances, and suddenly a player walked out from inside, looking at her with a face full of vigilance, “Fellow Daoist, do you need something?”
Song Jiulai immediately straightened her body and smiled awkwardly, “No, I just saw you all seemed quite interesting and was curious.”
“Really? Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar, I haven’t seen you before.”
Song Jiulai smiled and said, “I’m just a cultivator from out of town, passing through and looking around.”
The player was skeptical. After Song Jiulai walked away, he ran into the office and seemed to say to someone, “Tell our female players to be careful. I just saw a shifty stranger snooping around here, looking a bit lewd.”
The System relayed the player’s words to Song Jiulai.
Song Jiulai: “…”
Damn it!
This is utter blasphemy!
What lewd?
Where do I look lewd?
Song Jiulai took out a mirror and looked at the face she had casually sculpted, flying into a rage, “Where do I look lewd? Doesn’t this look like a handsome young man?”
The System said sympathetically, “You’ve been gaslighted by your own craftsmanship.”
Song Jiulai: “…”
She arrived outside the county town, channeled Spiritual Energy into the gourd, and instantly it enlarged several times, rising into the air.
Song Jiulai’s eyes lit up. As she sat on it, it felt like riding a sports car, and she kept touching it while exclaiming, “Wow, wow, wow.”
Last time, Zhai Xiaotian had taken her for a ride, but this time she was riding a gourd by herself.
And she was controlling it herself; the feeling was completely different.
When the gourd began to move, the speed was also completely different.
Well, it wasn’t as fast as Zhai Xiaotian’s operation.
“It’s actually an Earth-grade magic treasure! I thought Big Shots like him would have Heaven-grade or higher.”
This gourd was perfectly suited for a cultivator at Song Jiulai’s level to control.
System: “You have more than one Earth-grade item yourself.”
“Where do I? I only have the Prosperous Like a Painting Building, and I even used up a disposable one.”
System: “Don’t you count what you snatched from others in the Liu Yao Secret Realm? Even if it was decomposed, it was still given to you by someone else!”
“…”
Song Jiulai suddenly chuckled, “I forgot.”
What the System was referring to was the Black Chi Seal, a magic treasure that had been decomposed.
Speaking of this magic treasure, Song Jiulai suddenly remembered that the System had mentioned before that although the magic treasure was decomposed, it could be restored for a small fee.
She suddenly said, “That magic treasure was quite strong. After restoration, the original mark should be erased, right?”
System: “You want to restore it? It’s not impossible, and the Energy Pool has enough capacity now.”
The Energy Pool had just expanded and had a surge of power, so restoring an Earth-grade magic treasure wouldn’t be an issue.
The more magic treasures Song Jiulai had, the stronger her reliance would be.
Besides, she wasn’t afraid of being robbed.
If it was dangerous to keep magic treasures in her Sea of Consciousness, she could just put them in the Sect Warehouse, and even gods couldn’t take them.
