Chapter 33
Words Can’t Express My Gratitude
Ke Xin sighed helplessly. Dong Xi had previously bargained at the jade slip store, so Ke Xin thought that she was very thrifty. It turned out that she had not found anything she liked. When she found something she liked, she would not spend all her money to buy it, leaving nothing for herself.
Ke Xin said helplessly when she saw Dong Xi’s smiling face, “I really don’t know what to do with you. I’ll lend you four spirit stones. You should go and buy a jade slip too. It will be easier for us to contact each other in the future.”
“Thank you, Ke Xin.” Dong Xi was a little surprised to hear this. She did not expect Ke Xin to be so rich. Her family must have prepared some low-grade spirit stones for her before she came. She would definitely return them to Ke Xin after she received her benefits and completed some missions next month.
Dong Xi cupped her hands at Ke Xin and said gratefully, “Between us Sisters, words can’t express my gratitude. I’ll remember this.”
The two of them walked all the way back to the shop. Whichever white jade slip they wanted, the waiter would charge two Spirit stones as usual. However, Dong Xi felt that since the pink one cost two, the white one should be cheaper. However, two was really the limit. The waiter really did not go any lower, so he gave her a small jade hairpin. Wearing it had the function of refreshing one’s mind. Only then was Dong Xi satisfied. It was just right to use to tie a bun.
Now that she owed Ke Xin four spirit stones, Dong Xi was no longer in the mood to continue shopping. She and Ke Xin returned to the sect and agreed that they would send jade slips if anything happened. Only then did they return to their respective rooms and close the door.
Dong Xi immediately took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag when she first entered the sect. When she took out one pill, the medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.
Dong Xi sniffed hard and felt very refreshed. The smell of this pill was the same as the one sold by her Senior Brother. It was just a Fasting Pill, right? It really did not take much effort to get it. Even if Dong Xi did not know much about it, she could tell from the smell that this Fasting Pill was much better than the one sold by the Senior Brother at the gathering.
On the way back, Dong Xi tried to ask Ke Xin, but she did not have such a pill in her storage bag. Could it be that the first one to arrive would get such a benefit? Dong Xi thought that she had guessed it right. She was secretly happy and rejoiced that she had not hesitated so much back then and had quickly come to report to the Alchemy Sect.
Dong Xi swallowed a medicinal pill and closed her eyes to adjust her breathing. She could feel her fatigue fading away bit by bit. Dong Xi opened her eyes, her face was filled with excitement. Sure enough, this was the Fasting Pill. The Alchemy Sect was really thoughtful, even giving the first disciple such a benefit. She could just concentrate on her cultivation in the future and no longer have to waste time.
Dong Xi took out the jade slip that she had bought. The waiter had said that it needed to be bound by blood. Even if it was lost, it could not be used by others. Dong Xi looked at her delicate fingers and pondered for a moment. It was not easy to cultivate. She even had to cut her finger. This really required a lot of courage.
Dong Xi mentally prepared herself. When she thought of Dong Rourou’s final fatal blow to her, she was still a little terrified. Since that was the case, she had to do it. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the iron sword she had just bought. She looked at her delicate fingers again and made up her mind. Gritting her teeth, she cut her finger.
She was about to put down the iron sword. Just as she was about to drop her blood on the jade slip, the surface of the iron sword seemed to have broken into pieces like an eggshell. It fell off bit by bit, revealing a white jade sword. There was a groove on the body of the sword, and the blood flowed along the groove. The white jade sword seemed to be lit up, emitting bursts of red light, which was extremely dazzling.
Once again, Dong Xi tried to inject spiritual energy into the sword. The white jade sword immediately turned purple, just like the spiritual Qi. When Dong Xi saw the change in the sword, she immediately became excited. No one would have thought that he could buy such a good thing with just eight low-grade spirit stones. This was just like the antiques in her previous life, buying the best thing at the lowest price.
There was still some blood on the jade slip, so she could not waste it. Dong Xi quickly smeared the blood on the jade slip. After activating the jade slip, she inserted her spirit breath. This way, the jade slip would be fully activated. She could read some rumors about the Immortal world on the jade slip just like she had swiped her mobile phone in her previous life. At this time, a message appeared on the jade slip.
“Dong Xi, it’s Ke Xin.”
Dong Xi immediately added Ke Xin. Looking at the jade slip, Dong Xi was reminded of the messaging app on the phone in her previous life. It was not exactly the same, but it was not that different. The functions were basically the same, except that the messaging app could video call, while the jade slip could only send messages. However, it was still very convenient. It was much better than shouting to look for people, right?
