Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 67: Cloudy Wonderland?

Having made up his mind, Zhong Cang gave Yaxin an apologetic smile and said, "My research can still be sustained, and I don't need the support of Youyun Chamber of Commerce for the time being... Thank you."

After hearing this, Yaxin didn't pay much attention to it because she didn't understand the importance of it. She even reminded Zhong Cang.

"Although I cannot speak for myself on this matter, I already consider Mr. Zhong my benefactor. Therefore, Mr. Zhong, I have something to warn you..."

At this point, Yaxin's expression became much more serious and sincere:

"Don't waste too much time on trivial matters other than cultivation. For a cultivator, the most important things are always mana and realm."

Zhong Cang: "...I have received your reminder. Don't worry, I still know what is the most important thing in cultivation."

After talking with Yaxin for a few more words and sending her away, Zhong Cang turned his attention to Qi Wei.

Zhong Cang was not so polite to her.

"You want to learn magic from me?"

"Well, how much is it?"

"thirty……"

Seeing Zhong Cang stretch out three fingers and say the number thirty, Qi Wei took out a silver note worth three hundred taels of silver before Zhong Cang finished speaking.

"I'll take ten lessons first."

After hearing her words, Zhong Cang rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"You made a mistake. It's not thirty taels of silver, it's thirty spirit stones."

"Um???"

"Thirty spirit stones? Are you kidding me? Is your mouth made of gold, or is your understanding made of gold? How can it be so expensive?"

Thirty spirit stones for one class, this was completely beyond Qi Wei's expectations.

Spirit stones still have a lot of purchasing power, and Qi Wei is not ignorant. Her father has even found teachers for her. Some teachers, such as the old Taoist Luo Bende, can teach a class wholeheartedly without needing ten spirit stones - not including unique spells.

In Qi Wei's opinion, although Zhong Cang is extremely talented, his current understanding of Taoism is definitely not as strong as Robende.

And Robbende didn't offer such a high price, which made Qi Wei feel that Zhong Cang's offer was completely a joke on her.

"Do you think I'm a fool..."

Just when Qi Wei was angry and wanted to say something with a sneer, Zhong Cang's voice rang out again.

"My teaching price is this. I won't bargain. You can learn if you want. However, you can give it a try. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can get your money back."

"..."

These words stopped the anger in Qi Wei's heart, and she looked at Zhong Cang with even more surprise and doubt.

"He actually dared to say that if I'm not satisfied, I can get my money back. Is he really not teasing me, but really believes that his teachings have value?"

Qi Wei, who was hesitant in her heart, finally decided to give it a try.

"Hmph, since you dare to say that, I'll learn from you once. I want to see what you're capable of to dare to speak so arrogantly... Let me make it clear first, if I'm not satisfied with my teaching, I won't pay you."

Zhong Cang: "This is a matter of course. Pay the money first."

"You won't be missing..."

After a brief conversation, Qi Wei paid the spirit stone, and Zhong Cang brought her to the spirit field and extended his hand toward her. "Hold it tight."

After she finished speaking, Zhong Cang no longer cared about her. Instead, he immersed his mind in the sea of ​​consciousness, and through the ability of permanent memory, he re-projected the illusion of the cloud beasts playing that he saw that day into his mind.

"Chirp..."

"Roar!"

As the sounds of cranes and monkeys rang out, Zhong Cang's sea of ​​consciousness immediately became lively. At the same time, Zhong Cang's spirit seed, the small tree, also swayed suddenly, and the shaking of the leaves made a clear and pleasant sound of wind chimes.

"jingle……"

In the sound of Tao, Zhong Cang's mind gradually became clear, and his understanding of the clouds and mists imitating birds and beasts became deeper.

Zhong Cang agreed to teach Qi Wei the method of cloud and mist simulation not just to make money, but also to improve his understanding of cloud and mist simulation by reviewing it.

Of course, in this process, Zhong Cang's purpose was to spy on Qi Wei's method and turn her Tao and method into his own advanced experience.

"If I can benefit, so can you. With the blessing of the Dao Sound, even if you are stupid, you can still gain some understanding."

Here, Zhong Cang gradually immersed his mind in his own understanding of Taoism. Outside, looking at Zhong Cang's outstretched hand, Qi Wei hesitated again.

Although she is usually spoiled, she is a girl of this era after all, and is bound by etiquette.

She couldn't remain calm when faced with sudden physical contact with others.

However, thinking of the instructions from home, looking at Zhong Cang's calm face, and remembering what Shuang Lingxue had already done, she hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and finally put her hand on Zhong Cang's hand.

"Humph, I'll trust you for a while, but if you dare to play tricks on me or take advantage of me, you're dead."

"Buzz!"

After holding Zhong Cang's hand, she took some time to calm herself down before entering into meditation.

As always, when she closed her eyes, she saw her own mental illusion and her core spirit seed.

Her spirit seed is a scarlet bird with wings spread high in the sky, full of luxurious colors.

The height of 2.7 meters, chubby, and not delicate, makes Qi Wei's spirit species only be called a bird, not a Vermillion Bird or a Phoenix.

At the same time, this bird is not alone. Three special feathers are inserted on the red bird, giving it a sense of nobility. A flame like a red gem is placed in the core of the bird like a heart - this is the fire of Nirvana, and it is also the magical treasure her father found for her.

One provides meaning and the other provides energy support. With the help of these treasures, the spiritual seeds of Qi Wei and other children of aristocratic families are stronger and grow faster than those of ordinary students.

However, from the differences between Qi Wei and Shuang Lingxue's treasures, Zhong Cang also discovered that although they were both young ladies, Qi Wei could not be compared with Shuang Lingxue in terms of resources, treasures, and even the strength of her spiritual seeds.

"The gap is quite large..."

After discovering that Qi Wei had established a spiritual connection with him, Zhong Cang was sighing. On the other side, Qi Wei was stunned and looked in front of her with disbelief.

Such a dull look lasted for a very long time, making people think that she was petrified.

After a while, a sound that was too incredible, like a groan, came out of her mouth:
"what is this!"

It’s no wonder that Qi Wei was surprised. She really didn’t expect that after holding Zhong Cang’s hand and entering into meditation, she would see such a fantastic scene.

Yes, for Qi Wei, the scene before her eyes was somewhat "fantasy" - she never expected that Zhong Cang could bring her to a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist.
