Zhou Shiqi twitched his dog's mouth twice and said dryly: "Grandpa Turtle, look, I'm still in Shuntian City. I definitely won't be able to go back to wish you a birthday."
"I'll ask Chen Xiaozhi to help me buy you a birthday cake, tiramisu flavor, do you like it?"
"Consider it my congratulatory gift to you..."
"Favorability from Black Turtle, -66..."
The old turtle on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
Just when Zhou Shiqi was about to speak, Old Oogway hung up the phone bluntly.
Zhou Shiqi: "..."
Zhou Shiqi's face turned dark at that time. As expected, the old turtle turned his head faster than turning the page in a book. He was just planning to buy a cake as a gift, but the turtle actually hung up the phone with disdain.
You actually think your gift is too shabby?
If this was a normal time, Zhou Shiqi would definitely not want to talk to him again if he encountered this guy who took the initiative to hang up his phone.
"People ignore me, but I insist on putting my hot face on their cold ass?"
Zhou Shiqi would never be able to do such a thing!
"Don't I want to lose face?!"
Zhou Shiqi murmured angrily, then took a few deep breaths, and kept comforting himself. He still had something to ask for from the old turtle, but he couldn't offend it to death, so he could just buy it as a flower spirit stone to feel at ease.
After dialing Lao Wugui's number again, Zhou Shiqi waited for a long time before the other party answered the call.
The old turtle on the other end of the phone still didn't say anything. Zhou Shiqi rolled his eyes and could only say with a shy smile: "Grandpa Turtle, why did you hang up the phone suddenly? I haven't even finished what I said!"
"This tiramisu flavored cake is just my little touch."
"I also want to give you some spiritual stones, but..."
With a slight sigh, Zhou Shiqi continued: "Grandpa Turtle, you know that my monthly subsidy is only a few spirit stones."
"Most of the spiritual stones I received last month have been given to you."
"After coming to Shuntian City, the monk Sanjie relied on his strength to bully me and extorted many spiritual stones from me."
"My life is really hard, haha. I don't even have enough spiritual stones for cultivation."
The old turtle on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "That turtle grandson of Monk Sanjie, this is so unreasonable. He actually dares to bully the small with the big one, and also dares to blackmail your spiritual stone?"
"I really rebelled against him. Next time I see him, I have to beat the shit out of him!"
"Asking him to bully my dog will make him crooked!"
Zhou Shiqi's head is covered with black lines, and you, the old turtle, are not a good bird either. Just like Monk Sanjie, you are just like a raccoon dog.
Just know how to bully me!
What about your dog?
When did I become your dog?
Labor and management are obviously your subordinates, so please be careful with your words!
Zhou Shiqi cautiously said: "Grandpa Turtle, what about this spiritual stone..."
The old turtle waved his hand and said righteously: "Little dog, I know it's not easy for you. In this case, you should keep the spiritual stones on hand and use them for your cultivation."
Zhou Shiqi was delighted. Old Oogway was quite easy to talk to sometimes, and this saved him a lot of money.
However, before Zhou Shiqi was happy for two seconds, the old turtle suddenly said with a smile: "Little dog, I know that you are poor, so I will advance the spiritual stones for July and August to you."
"I have two months of spiritual stones here. Look..."
Zhou Shiqi's expression changed again and again, until he turned completely black.
Can you actually get spiritual stones in advance?
Old Turtle, you are pretending to be self-serving, and you have done everything you can to get me to give you a gift, okay?
There is absolutely no bottom line!
Encountering such a boss with no integrity at all, Zhou Shiqi was powerless to resist.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered Tang Qianhe's invitation to him, and he really wanted to agree to him regardless.
Seeing that Zhou Shiqi didn't reply for a long time, the old turtle chuckled and said to himself: "Little dog, if you don't say anything, I will assume that you gave all these spiritual stones to me by default."
"I, the old man, accepted it without any courtesy."
Taking a breath of turbid air, Zhou Shiqi resisted the urge to slap the old turtle to death. Zhou Shiqi felt his heart bleed, gritted his teeth and said: "Grandpa Turtle, you have to keep the spirit stone, and treat it like me."
A gift for your nine hundredth birthday."
"I am here to wish you happiness as good as the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
"You must live well."
Zhou Shiqi almost gritted his teeth and said the last sentence with wide eyes.
The old turtle smiled and pretended not to understand what Zhou Shiqi meant.
Shaking his head, the old turtle suddenly said lazily: "Little dog, tell me, what do you want to see your grandfather turtle for today?"
"Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't think of looking for me, right?"
Finally turned the topic to the main point!
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Shiqi explained to the old turtle in detail how he was grumpy and prone to hot blood today.
On the other end of the phone, Old Oogway was silent for a while, and then said with some surprise: "Your symptoms... are very similar to those when a breakthrough in a skill is imminent and a sudden impulse occurs."
"It's just...it shouldn't be."
"The Nameless Spiritual Beast Technique I gave you is the first stage of smelting demonic energy. This requires accumulation over time, and it also requires hard work. It takes a long time to break through to the next stage."
"Could it be that... you haven't been practicing for long and you are about to enter the stage of condensing demon pills?!"
Zhou Shiqi's heart moved slightly, a breakthrough was imminent? On a whim?
"So it turns out that my Tianlang Jue technique has reached its bottleneck?"
"But, I only have this first volume of the Heavenly Wolf Jue technique, and I haven't drawn the subsequent techniques yet. What should I do?"
"Also, Old Turtle always thought that I was practicing the nameless spirit beast technique. Should I continue to hide it?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Shiqi felt that it was better to tell the truth.
After all, I may have questions about cultivation in the future and I will ask the old turtle about it. If he instructs me according to the Nameless Spiritual Beast Art, I don’t know if I will go crazy if I continue to practice?
Of course, the origin of Tianlang Jue must be explained in another way. The existence of the system is Zhou Shiqi’s biggest secret, and no one can tell this secret!
After thinking clearly, Zhou Shiqi said bluntly: "Grandpa Turtle, actually I don't have the skills to practice the Nameless Spirit Beast Art."
"I have my own inherited skills. Since my bloodline awakened, I have obtained a practice method that is unique to me."
"It's just that the skills I have obtained now are still somewhat incomplete."
"But I have a vague feeling that as long as my blood continues to revive, this skill will be gradually completed."
On the other end of the phone, the old turtle listened quietly to Zhou Shiqi's voice, his expression changing a bit, and after a long while he quietly said: "Awakening of bloodline, inheritance of skills..."
"Little dog, to be honest, this is the first time I've heard of your situation."
Zhou Shiqi pouted, "That's natural, I made it up now!"
