Back to her residence, Su Li didn't see Jin Ying again as she expected. She closed the wooden door and sat back on the bed. She took out the inferior spiritual stone and drew a straight line on the surface of the spiritual stone with a sharp silver light on her fingertips without any preparation.
Clatter!
The square stone was evenly split into two triangular stones. If they were weighed, it would be found that the difference in weight between the two stones would be no more than one yuan.
Su Li picked up a triangular inferior spiritual stone, closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Then she murmured in a low voice. The earth nimbus floating in the nothingness slowly condensed on her fingertips, showing a little earthy halo.
Sensing the rapid consumption of the spiritual power in her body, Su Li didn't dare to waste time and quickly carved on the surface of the spiritual stone. Her speed was many times faster than that of the first-grade matrix master who was admired and envied by others during the day.
After a few dozen breaths, the surface of the triangular inferior spiritual stone suddenly burst into a dazzling yellow light. After the light dissipated, there were delicate golden lines on the surface of the inferior psychic awareness, just like the most exquisite handicraft in the world.
"I made it."
Su Li sensed that the surging earth nimbus in the psychic awareness was integrated with the spiritual stone. She shook her sore arm, and a little blood appeared on her fingertips.
Su Li's face was slightly pale, and she shook her head helplessly.
The spiritual power of the fourth hurdle of Lianqi Realm was still too little. She couldn't afford a spiritual pen now, so she could only use her fingers instead of a pen. But her physical body had not reached the level of her previous life, and the consumption of spiritual power was more than a hundred times that of holding a spiritual pen.
If her physical strength hadn't reached the peak of Zhuji Realm, her fingers would have been broken by force.
"After these two earth-based runes are sold, my cultivation can at least be restored to the sixth hurdle of Lianqi Realm. Seven days later, it will be the beginning of next month, and I can get another inferior spiritual rune … "
When Su Li was thinking, suddenly there was a knock on the door. She knew who was standing in front of the door without the psychic awareness.
Su Li hid the things on the bed, hid her injured hand behind her, and got up to open the door.
Jin Ying, who wanted to continue to knock on the door, immediately took a step back like a frightened rabbit. Then she reacted, forced a straight face, and said coldly,
"I … I'm not doing this for you! I'm just here to remind you. Don't forget that in a few days, Master will test our cultivation progress. Now two days have passed, and we haven't even gotten the mental cultivation method of Yunti Realm. You tell me … what should we do?! "
Su Li was stunned. Seeing her expression, Jin Ying immediately felt dizzy and asked helplessly, "You … you don't really forget it, do you?!"
Su Li pursed her lips and nodded slightly. How could she care about such a trifle?
"I …"
Jin Ying was speechless for a while. Now she finally knew why Su Li's performance was good or bad. Su Li could forget the important things related to her own fate.
So, she was a fool!
He didn't know what fear was, much less what humiliation was. It was no wonder that he didn't react at all when he was scolded by those four bad sisters.
Did he … misunderstand her?
Jin Ying's imagination ran wild, and Su Li gradually frowned, "Anything else?"
Jin Ying was confused by Su Li's question. She was so depressed that she wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood, but she couldn't help but tell Su Li what happened during the day.
"Today, I went to the book pavilion alone."
Thinking of the first time she begged Su Li to go to the book pavilion with her, Jin Ying blushed. She immediately thought of something and said angrily,
"Su Li, we are in trouble this time! Someone deliberately prevented us from getting the mental method of Yunti Realm. They simply wanted us to lose face in front of the master. "
Su Li raised her eyebrows, and the figure of the young man in white flashed in her mind.
"I went to the book pavilion today and saw the grumpy senior fellow apprentice again. But this time, I didn't listen to the advice of the gatekeeper disciple and entered the book pavilion. I thought I could get the mental method in this way, but the four bad sisters were also in the pavilion. I … "
Jin Ying's eyes turned red, and she didn't say anything. It was not difficult for Su Li to guess how the four maids with silver tokens bullied her. Naturally, she couldn't get the mental method.
"I see."
After a moment of silence, Su Li simply replied and was about to close the door.
Jin Ying's face was full of astonishment. She hurriedly stopped Su Li and said anxiously, "Junior Sister Apprentice Su, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Now we are in the same situation. If we don't get the mental method to practice, we will be in trouble when the master asks about it! Tomorrow, you go to the book pavilion with me. Maybe we … "
Su Li shook her head before she finished her words, "I have something to do tomorrow. Let's go the day after tomorrow."
After that, she didn't listen to Jin Ying's nonsense and forcibly closed the door.
Jin Ying stared at the bare door blankly for a long time before she came to her senses. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and couldn't help but scold, "Coward! Those senior sisters are right. Su Yue, you are a coward! "
"When I get the mental method, I won't give it to you!"
"Just wait for the master's scolding!"
As she said that, she kicked the door heavily. A sharp pain came from the tip of her foot. She sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at the silent night outside. She bit her lip for a while, feeling wronged, and finally limped back to her room.
In the room, Su Li exhaled and held the second rune that emitted a faint golden light in her hand. She was concentrating on drawing runes just now, so she naturally didn't hear Jin Ying's cry.
…
Early the next morning, Jin Ying still had a trace of fluke in her heart. She came to Su Li's door, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time. She finally couldn't stand it anymore. The grievances accumulated in the past two days burst out like a flood. She squatted in front of Su Li's door and cried.
After an hour, Jin Ying stopped crying. Looking at the still silent wooden door, she showed a touch of stubbornness in her eyes. She wiped away her tears and got up to leave, heading for the book pavilion.
At the same time, Su Li, who had been wandering in the market place for a long time, finally stepped into the Zhenlou Group. She trotted all the way to the empty window for purchasing materials related to the tactical matrix, took out an earth-rune, and said crisply with a pure luster in her eyes,
"Lord, my master asked me to sell something."
The old man sitting behind the window saw that the person who came was a little girl full of spirit. Although she was dressed in the clothes of a servant, the old man couldn't help but show a kind expression on his face because of the spirit and elegance she exuded.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
In the cultivation circle, good-looking people would also receive a lot of preferential treatment, which was an eternal truth.
"Well, let me see what your master is selling."
The old man reached out to take the earth-rune, and couldn't help but chuckle after scanning it with his psychic awareness, "It turns out to be an ordinary earth-rune. The price of Zhenlou Group has always been fair. It is priced at six low-grade spiritual stones. What do you think, little girl?"
Su Li frowned secretly, but pretended to be surprised and said, "Lord, please take another look. My master said that this earth-rune is very different, so he is interested in it. Otherwise, with my master's …"
As she spoke, Su Li suddenly covered her mouth, as if she had accidentally spilled the beans, and hurried to remedy it.
The old man's eyes flashed. It seemed that the master of this little girl was at least a top-ranking inherited disciple in Huajian Sect. How could he be interested in the first-grade earth-rune?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look more serious, and observed the triangular matrix rune in his hand more carefully.
The foundation of Zhenlou Group was profound, and the elder was well-informed. Soon, he noticed a trace of strangeness, and his face changed slightly. He glanced at Su Li, who had an innocent face, in surprise and doubt. Then, he stood up and said,
"Little girl, I will price this earth-rune for fifty low-grade spiritual stones. Do you have other matrix runes like this?"
Su Li was slightly shocked. She didn't expect that the old man could offer such a high price, but she showed surprise on the surface. She quickly handed over another matrix rune with her eyes sparkling, "That's all. My master only gave me two."
The old man put the two matrix runes together in his hands, and they were really integrated. His eyes shone brightly, as if he had found a rare treasure. He hurriedly walked to the depths of Zhenlou Group with the matrix rune in his hands. Before leaving, he did not forget to hand over a heavy bag of spiritual stones to Su Li.
Su Li glanced at the building and found that many people had noticed here. She hurriedly asked for help from the steward who gave her the spiritual stones, "Lord, my master said that we must leave from the secret exit of Zhenlou Group."
The steward immediately understood and thought that the master of this little girl was really thoughtful. He had seen the attitude of the elder of Zhenlou Group just now, so he naturally did not refuse Su Li's request and happily took her to the secret exit.
Seeing this scene, many practitioners could only give up the idea of robbing in their hearts.
After Su Li left Zhenlou Group through the secret exit, she didn't stay any longer and immediately went up the mountain to return to her residence.
"A hundred low-grade spiritual stones can at least restore me to the ninth hurdle of Lianqi Realm!"
Su Li put the spiritual stones under the rush cushion and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then her eyes flickered, revealing a calculating look.
"It seems that the appraiser of Zhenlou Group knows something. He will definitely investigate me afterward, but …"
She had a clean background. No matter how Zhenlou Group investigated, they would never find out her previous life. So, her fictitious master became more mysterious and made Zhenlou Group afraid.
In this way, she had time to recover.
Even if Zhenlou Group found out that she was the one who refined the matrix rune in the future, she would have recovered her cultivation at that time. What was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Su Li smiled slightly, picked up a spiritual stone, and quickly absorbed it.
At the same time, in the adytum of Zhenlou Group.
The old man who appraised Su Li just now stood respectfully in front of a delicate woman in a palace dress, who looked about thirty years old, without saying a word.
Soon after, the woman in the palace dress exerted force in her hand, and the earth rune made of inferior spiritual stones was immediately crushed.
The old man's pupils shrank. When he was about to explain, the woman in the palace dress waved her hand and said, "Needless to say, it is indeed the work of a matrix master who can inscribe the first-grade matrix on inferior spiritual stones."
