章節 39: Fellow Daoist, Please Wait
編輯: Henyee Translations
Qin Yang left Liu Tianbao's courtyard with Little White.
He walked out of Big Domain Village.
The nest of the weasels was located in a deep mountain to the east of the village.
It was about ten kilometers away. Qin Yang had to speed up. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make it back to the Celestial Master Residence for breakfast.
He opened the System Shop and started searching.
Soon, he found a few martial arts techniques used for traveling.
Hundred Divine Steps: Increases the speed of a cultivator's journey. One step can allow one to arrive anywhere within 100m in an instant. 3,000 reputation points.
Ascending Void Steps: A top-notch martial art that increases one's speed. One's footwork is like walking in the air. One can be 500m away in the blink of an eye. 5,000 reputation points.
Seven Stars Dragon-Tiger Ethereal Body: Increases speed by 1,000 times in an instant. It's like stepping on the Seven Stars Dragon-Tiger, and one's movement is ethereal and unfathomable. One is as fast as a gust of wind and can move a thousand meters in one breath. 10,000 reputation points.
…
In the System Shop, there were many martial arts techniques used for traveling.
Qin Yang chose a few that were more cost-effective.
In addition to these three footwork techniques, there were better ones, but Qin Yang didn't have enough reputation points. What was the use of better ones if he couldn't afford them?
Qin Yang hesitated for a moment as he looked at the three acceleration techniques that he had chosen.
Hundred Divine Steps was the cheapest, but its effect was also the worst. There was no need to spend 3,000 reputation points on a piece of trash.
Ascending Void Steps and Seven Star Dragon-Tiger Ethereal Body were both nice, but in terms of effect, Seven Star Dragon-Tiger Ethereal Body was definitely stronger.
After all, the former's extreme speed was 500 meters per second, while the latter's speed was 1,000 meters per second with an additional effect.
The only problem was that it was expensive.
With 10,000 reputation points, Qin Yang felt that the system was doing this on purpose.
He had just earned 10,000 reputation points, and the system had calculated it for him. The technique was exactly that price.
Qin Yang didn't believe that it wasn't intentional.
Qin Yang smiled bitterly. "The system doesn't want me to have anything left."
Although he said that, he knew very well that he really needed such a movement technique now.
After all, without such a skill, it would indeed be quite difficult for him to travel in the future.
Moreover, it felt good to travel a thousand meters in an instant.
So be it!
Qin Yang gritted his teeth and clicked on the purchase button.
The notification rang out in his ears.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for spending 10,000 reputation points to exchange for [Seven Star Dragon Tiger Ethereal Body]!"
Then, the full set of techniques was transmitted into Qin Yang's mind.
Qin Yang instantly mastered all the essences of the Seven Stars Dragon-Tiger Ethereal Body.
Qin Yang said, "I see. This movement technique is really exquisite! A thousand meters in an instant. I want to see what it feels like."
Qin Yang raised his foot and was about to test the speed of the Seven Stars Dragon-Tiger Ethereal Body.
However, just as he was about to take off, a genderless voice came from an alley in Big Domain Village.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
As soon as they heard that voice, Qin Yang and White Tiger looked over.
A gust of yellow wind quickly rushed out of the alley and arrived in front of Qin Yang. It was a weasel in a yellow Daoist robe.
The robe on this weasel was the same style as the ones of the weasels Qin Yang had handled at Liu Tianbao's house.
There was also an Eyeless Yin Yang Fish diagram printed on the back. It should be in the same pack as the group of weasels who stole chickens and ducks.
However, for some reason, it didn't go to Liu Tianbao's house with its companions tonight.
What Qin Yang didn't expect was that this lone weasel would come to him voluntarily.
The cultivation of this weasel was clearly much weaker than the group of weasels from Liu Tianbao's house. Moreover, it was a size smaller.
If the weasels that Qin Yang had cleaned up at Liu Tianbao's house were all the size of an adult cat, the weasel in front of him was only a little bigger than a kitten.
Hearing the weasel, Qin Yang stopped and looked at it.
The weasel was extremely fast and arrived in front of Qin Yang.
Clearly, the weasel was extremely afraid of the White Tiger. It stood in front of Qin Yang and subconsciously distanced itself from the White Tiger.
Then, it bowed to Qin Yang and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're dressed elegantly and luxuriously. I wonder… w-which immortal mountain do you cultivate in?"
This little weasel was obviously not as knowledgeable as the weasels earlier and couldn't recognize Qin Yang's purple robe at a glance.
Under the night sky, the little weasel didn't recognize Qin Yang's identity. Instead, it started to chat with him. However, the little weasel was still stuttering when it spoke. It couldn't speak fluently, which proved that it had just learned how to speak human language.
Qin Yang looked at the yellow weasel and didn't know what it was going to do.
He casually said, "I'm cultivating in a wilderness temple nearby. What's this about?"
Qin Yang wanted to know why the weasel was talking to him, so he went straight to the point.
The yellow weasel first chuckled, then said, "Yes, it's like this. I… I have something to ask you for help with. Fellow Daoist, do… do you think I look like a human or… an immortal?"
The weasel's words reached Qin Yang's ears.
Qin Yang was immediately stunned.
Did he hear it correctly?
This yellow weasel who had just learned how to speak the human language asked him for help. He was still wondering what kind of help it was, but as it turned out, it asked him directly if it was a human or an immortal.
Was it asking for a title?
According to folklore, yellow weasels had a special skill.
They would ask for titles from everyone they met!
In other words, a yellow weasel that had cultivated and could speak human language had a chance to ask for a title from humans.
When a yellow weasel walked up to a person, it would usually ask the person if it looked human.
If the other party said that it looked like a human, this yellow weasel would immediately obtain a great fortune and increase its cultivation by a hundred years to transform into a human.
However, the yellow weasel in front of Qin Yang was a classic example of a greedy creature. It wasn't only asking Qin Yang for a title, but it also wanted much more than that.
It asked Qin Yang if he looked like a human or an immortal.
As long as Qin Yang answered, regardless of whether the answer was like a human or an immortal, this weasel would obtain a great fortune.
If Qin Yang said it looked like a human, at the very least, it could instantly increase its cultivation by a hundred years.
If Qin Yang's answer was that it looked like an immortal, it would be even more amazing. It could allow this weasel to reach the heavens in a single step. Although it couldn't immediately become immortal, its fate would completely change. Its cultivation could instantly increase by a thousand years. With that, it wasn't far from becoming an immortal.
Moreover, any foreign species that obtained great fortune from humans would definitely follow the law of conservation of fortune.
In other words, if it obtained something from humans, humans would definitely lose something, especially when it came to matters that involved human personal luck, blessings, merits, virtues, and other mysterious things. One had to be even more careful.
Therefore, regardless of what answer one gave, after a weasel obtained a great fortune, the person who was conferred the title would definitely pay an equivalent price.
If it wasn't done well, the person might even die on the spot.
If one dared to say the weasel looked like an immortal, the price would be even greater.
The weasel's cultivation would increase by a thousand years. Those who were conferred the title would probably be plagued by bad luck for a hundred reincarnations and die suddenly for a hundred lives. They wouldn't have a good ending for a hundred lifetimes!
At this moment, Qin Yang was looking at the weasel that had run up to him to ask for a title.
He rubbed his chin. "Kid, that's quite original!"
