I really am not a freeloader!

Chapter 158: The Core of the Secret Realm

The job of using the little foxes to eliminate the monsters in the vicinity was snatched away by Ji Huanglian.

There was no other way. This little fox could only stay with the three of them temporarily.

Basically, other people will be very disgusted when they encounter it.

And this matter just happens to be a test for the young couple.

The most important thing is that Zhao Qian’s cultivation is too low, and it is too dangerous to be outside.

If the threat outside can be eliminated as soon as possible, my sister will be able to come here sooner.

One day passed like this.

Yesterday, Zhao Qian returned to the Ji family and spent a night of tenderness with Ji Huanglian.

The next day, I came to the town again and started to get busy.

After two days of hard work, his drawings have been completely completed.

The previous fire-containing iron has already been collected, and we can start forging the steel furnace.

His wife is busy, so he can't sit idle!

He handed the drawings and materials to Mr. Qiao.

"Another new thing. What on earth is in your head?"

Old Master Qiao tapped Zhao Qian's forehead out of curiosity, causing Zhao Qian to feel a little pain.

"It's okay, it's just a rehash of what others have said, it's not presentable at all."

"Come on, if I could just parrot others like that, I'd be the same as you."

Old Mr. Qiao was very disgusted with Zhao Qian's behavior of looking down on him.

If this is called plagiarism, then why didn't he get to experience such things before?

"You can be modest, but don't be too modest, otherwise others will look down on you."

After hearing these words from Grandpa Qiao, he happily took his blueprint and ran to his forge to start working.

Zhao Qian thought for a moment. Was he really too modest recently?

Then he shook his head, choosing not to think about it anymore.

-

His wife helped him to hunt down monsters in the wild.

He also organized a large group of people in the town.

After all, this is everyone's business in the town.

Zhao Qian continued to design clothes out of boredom, hoping to increase the emotional connection between the couple.

He thinks some JK uniforms and swimsuits are nice.

I remember there seemed to be a river less than 9 kilometers away from the city.

The water there is clear and blue, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. If you have time, you can go and have a look!

And the swimsuit is not difficult to make. After a while, it appeared on Zhao Qian’s drawing. It was a swimsuit that was big enough to cover the important parts.

Zhao Qian quickly shook his head.

This thing is only worn when they are alone together. He doesn't want his wife's body to be seen by others.

He put the drawing down and there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened and a familiar person walked in. It was Ning Xiaolin.

"Xiao Lin, you didn't go over to help?"

Zhao Qian thought that Ji Huanglian had gathered most of the people to go hunting monsters in the wild, and Ning Xiaolin would go with him.

But now it seems that this girl didn't go to help.

Ning Xiaolin came in front of Zhao Qian with a vague look in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you so shy?"

Zhao Qian was curious.

"Just, I just want you to help me look at this..."

Ning Xiaolin bit her lips. She would be gone in two days, so...

She took the small stone in her hand again.

Zhao Qian looked at the small stone that looked like colored glass.

The memories that had been forgotten a few days ago came back to his mind again.

He was immediately surprised.

"I was saying that I seemed to have forgotten something last time, and it turned out to be this thing!"

Ning Xiaolin looked at Zhao Qian strangely. The last time she just took it out, Zhao Qian fell into a coma.

How come it's been so long this time and there's no response at all?

She looked at the small stone in her hand. It was still very calm, just like an ordinary stone.

A trace of regret flashed through her mind.

But it’s better this way, it seems that the last time was just an accident.

"Can I take a closer look?"

Zhao Qian asked curiously.

"Ah? Okay."

Got Ning Xiaolin's permission.

Zhao Qian picked up the glass-like stone.

The whole stone is about the size of a fist, and its transparent color looks like glass, just like a piece of crystal.

"After I refined this thing, I don't know what it can do."

Since she couldn't achieve what she wanted to do, Ning Xiaolin buried the regret in her heart.

She had a normal conversation with Zhao Qian.

She got this thing, but after so much time, she still couldn't figure out what it was.

But the only thing that can be confirmed is that the Lingyuan Secret Realm seems to have collapsed because of this thing.

"......Hiss, you're telling me such valuable information right now?"

Zhao Qian took a breath and couldn't believe what Ning Xiaolin was doing.

If I had any evil intentions, Ning Xiaolin might not be able to leave this door today...

No, with my level of cultivation, it seems that I cannot leave this door.

"I trust you because you are my...friend."

Although this term had a slightly distorted meaning for Zhao Qian, it had a slightly distorted meaning in Ning Xiaolin's own heart.

This sentence made Zhao Qian silent.

He looked at the girl in front of him and was silent for a long time.

Then he let out a long breath.

"Forget it. I'm really defeated by you. But you can do this to me. If you do this to others in the future, don't do it again."

Others have treated me like this, and if I continue to think about all those trivial things, wouldn't it seem like I'm narrow-minded?

When Ning Xiaolin heard this, a hint of joy flashed through her heart.

"Yeah." She nodded gently.

Zhao Qian held the stone in his palm.

"What the hell is this system?"

Zhao Qian took it in his hand and looked at it from left to right, but couldn't tell what it was.

[Scanning, please wait...]

[Scan completed, based on the spiritual energy nurtured inside, and the impact on the surroundings. ]

The possibilities are:

1. The core of the secret realm. (88%)

2. Spirit Stone Ore Core. (75%)

3. Condensation of innate spiritual energy. (63%)]

[As long as this substance exists, it can affect a certain range.

It can also fill up the spiritual energy within the range and continuously affect the surroundings.

If it is refined and kept inside the body, it will allow the cultivation to grow naturally within the body.

However, there are also disadvantages. The naturally increased spiritual energy needs to be refined again in the body. 】

[After scanning, it was found that there was a faint spiritual intelligence in it, and some changes had occurred in its essence, which might cause various other scenes to appear in the area it affected.]

Zhao Qian looked at Ning Xiaolin, then returned the thing.

These things are so hot that I can't even hold them.

"What's wrong? Any clues?"

Ning Xiaolin took it in her hand and felt a power in it slowly awakening.

The targeted scan that the system just used actually still relied on the spiritual energy in Zhao Qian's body.

After all, this way you get the most scanning information.

Moreover, it was the invasion of foreign objects that caused its dormant spiritual core to slowly awaken again.

Ning Xiaolin didn't know what happened, she thought it was Zhao Qian who did something.

"I have some clues..."

Zhao Qian stated the system's judgment.

Ning Xiaolin also told Zhao Qian that this thing was awakening.

After all, we have been honest with each other, so there is no harm in telling it.

Zhao Qian pondered, and he suddenly became curious about the other characteristics mentioned by the system.

The scene before his last coma appeared before his eyes again.

Could it be that this thing is something that can create an illusion? !

Chapter 159: Ji Huanglian's Illusion

Zhao Qian was thinking, while Ning Xiaolin was looking at the stone in her hand that looked like glass.

The latent spiritual wisdom within it gradually awakens.

Ning Xiaolin could sense some faint emotions flowing in it.

She touched it with some curiosity.

There was still a lack of emotion in it, but Ning Xiaolin could already vaguely feel what the emotion being expressed meant.

'Love, like, confusion, desire.'

This word made her face turn red all of a sudden, and the impulse that had been buried in her heart surged up again.

Since this thing has awakened.

The impact was once again exerted on Ning Xiaolin.

She looked at the door behind her.
