Chapter 40 Master’s plan to cultivate Taoist companions
"..."
Looking at the frightening vision in front of him, Chu Ming felt a sense of astonishment in his heart.
You must know that there are only a handful of ways to extract the souls of monsters alive, and he has never even heard of them.
But now, such a small crystal bead can actually achieve this, and it doesn't even need the owner to control it on the spot?
"It's really a great experience..."
Picking up the crystal bead filled with black mist inside, Chu Ming observed it carefully. The eerie coldness it exuded stung the palm of his hand, making him feel more vigilant and cautious in addition to respect and gratitude for Wu Zuirao.
This comes from human beings’ inner fear of the unknown.
After all, this kind of method is very similar to the evil sect and is not possessed by a person with a righteous path at all.
"I hope it's not what I thought."
Chu Ming chuckled and shook his head, kicked the rat demon's body aside and walked out of the alley.
At this moment in the village, the mad cow summoned by the Long Ox Technique has disappeared, and the so-called rat demon group has also died and been injured. The rest have disappeared long ago, and they may never dare to appear again.
"Taoist Priest..."
Looking at the corpses of the rat demon on the ground in front of him, the old man who hurriedly ran from a distance was first full of horror, and then he bowed and saluted excitedly, with tears streaming down his face. When his legs went weak, he tried to kneel down, but was stopped by Chu Ming.
Come down.
Why do you always like to kneel down?
"Old people don't have to be like this, this is what I should do."
"I can't repay Taoist Priest's kindness in slaying demons. I'm really ashamed..."
“Isn’t this all reward?”
Chu Ming showed a gentle smile, then pinched his nose and dug out their demon crystals from the rat demon corpses.
Although these are only the demon crystals dropped by the fourth and fifth level Qi training demon beasts, there are so many of them!
"Thirty-one, thirty-two... If we calculate it based on 100 contribution points per coin, this makes a total of 3,020, which is quite a harvest!"
Chu Ming patted his space bag happily, declined the old man's lunch invitation, and hurried back to the affairs hall to hand over the affairs.
"so much?"
Looking at the demon crystals covering the table, even the knowledgeable steward of the affairs hall couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise in his heart, and carefully looked at Chu Ming, who had a calm expression.
You know, to be able to deal with so many rat demons at once, you have to be three levels higher than them in terms of strength.
Could it be that the delicate and immature young man in front of me is actually above the seventh level of Qi training realm?
"..."
The steward's Adam's apple rolled, he quickly calmed down his laziness, and enthusiastically handled the handover procedures for Chu Ming.
"Thank you"
Looking at his extra four thousand contribution points, Chu Ming felt a burst of joy from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention the sudden huge amount of money he made, the power of the Bull-growing Technique alone surprised him.
Although almost all the spiritual energy in his Dantian was consumed, even the vastness of his spiritual sea showed signs of exhaustion.
But the benefits are definitely proportional!
"Coupled with the strength of the seventh level of Qi training in Zhen Zi Dan, I should be able to fight with the monks at the eighth level of Qi training now."
Chu Ming walked out, silently thinking in his mind how big a trick these trump cards could support him.
However, he did not immediately choose to exchange the newly obtained contribution points for genius treasures in the item list. Instead, he left the Affairs Hall and returned to Floating Cloud Peak while humming a little tune.
Sure enough, as he expected, Wu Zuirao had been waiting in the wing for a long time.
It's just that the way of waiting seems a little different...
"Minger, are you back?"
Seeing someone pushing the door open, Wu Zuirao took her fingers away, hurriedly sat up from the bed, adjusted her skirt, and suddenly put away the brown clothes on the tip of her nose, adding a hint of embarrassment to her charming smile.
"Have you finished dealing with the rat demon?"
"Um"
Chu Ming suddenly woke up from his daze, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, as if a turbulent wave had stirred up in his heart.
As an alchemy cultivator, his spiritual consciousness is much higher than that of ordinary monks of the same level, so even if he just glanced at it, he could clearly see what the brown clothes were at that moment.
I must have read it correctly...are those my underpants?
etc!
Master took my obscene pants and put them on my bed...
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Chu Ming connected the previous case of losing his underwear and the inexplicable appearance of his master at the back of Fuyun Peak that night, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.
So that’s it!
"Uh... Master, this is the crystal bead that collected the spirit of the rat demon"
Taking the handed crystal bead, Wu Zuirao looked at Chu Ming's respectful and awkward expression, and the corners of her mouth could not help but raise slightly.
"Did you see it?"
"What did you see?"
Chu Ming pretended to be confused, but this could not be concealed from Wu Zuirao's perception.
She first covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, then with a wave of her hand, a burst of red mist suddenly rose up in the room.
Chu Ming looked at the strange changes around him and held the Zhen Zi Dan in his hands alertly, but the next second he felt like the world was spinning.
Suddenly, he felt himself being pressed onto the bed by a soft and delicate body full of fragrance. In front of him was Wu Zuiluo's delicate and slightly resentful expression.
"Ming'er, do you hate being a teacher?"
She pouted, as if she had been greatly wronged.
When Chu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, his gentle words full of gratitude.
"How could I hate Master?"
"You not only took me as an orphan by your side and took care of me in every possible way, but you also taught me how to practice alchemy, which made me achieve what I am today."
"If I have to say it, you are not only my master, but also my benefactor. Once a teacher, always a mother. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side, master."
Listening to Chu Ming's sincere words, Wu Zuiluo's eyes widened with astonishment on her face. After a while, she mooed mistlessly, caressing his cheek and said softly.
"Actually, I had my own purpose as a teacher at the beginning... But now, I am deeply moved by Ming'er's words."
"I know you may have doubts about my identity, but, Chu Ming, can you trust me? I will never harm you no matter what."
Wu Zuirao suddenly changed the name he called himself, which made Chu Ming a little surprised.
He felt that his relationship with Wu Zuirao suddenly became more subtle, and he gradually became bolder inside, so he asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Then Master, what is the purpose of adopting me...that you mentioned?"
"..."
Wu Zuirao blinked her eyes, her originally heavy heart suddenly became lively, and her iconic charming smile appeared on her face again.
"You want to know?"
"Um"
Chu Ming nodded solemnly, feeling extremely nervous.
Could it be that Master initially planned to use me as a medicine for human body to make elixirs, hoping that three flowers would gather at the top of my head and become an immortal?
Or are you training me just to become the cauldron of her magical power in the future?
Chu Ming felt extremely uneasy, and all kinds of terrifying conjectures flashed through his mind one by one.
However, what surprised him was that at this moment, Wu Zuirao looked away shyly like a little girl, her delicate body twisted for a while, she put her hands on his chest and slowly leaned over, exhaling into his ear and whispering coquettishly.
.
"Actually, when I adopted you, I wanted you to be my Taoist companion in the future~"
