Chapter 14 The Wonderful Uses of the Spirit Imprint
After a lively discussion in the group, Huo Chuyu and Yu Xueji finally replied.
Huo Chuyu: "Old hen soup. We need to nourish ourselves during the Lesser Snow solar term."
Yu Xueji's answer was: "Stir-fried cucumber with pork slices."
Inside the market, Liang Junjie took out his phone and glanced at the dishes the two wanted to eat. He then selected ingredients from the vegetable and meat stalls in the market.
Passing by a vegetable stall, he selected his cucumbers and was about to pay when he encountered a dishonest vendor. It wasn't that the vegetables were bad, but that the vendor was using a rigged scale.
"Boss, are these cucumbers made of gold? They're so heavy!"
The vegetable stall owner, seeing how young Liang Junjie was and that he was buying vegetables alone, instantly lost his temper. Speaking in a thick Northeastern accent, he yelled, "Take it or leave it! If you don't want to, get lost! Buying so little? And you're still nagging me here?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Junjie was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and took out the Spirit Seal from his pocket and put it on his earlobe.
"Boss, this is not how you do business. If you do business like this in the south, do you believe that in a while, the villagers in the surrounding villages will all know about your reputation as a heartless vendor?"
As he spoke these words, he also activated the mental amplification effect of the spiritual seal, allowing his words to influence the minds of mortals.
Instantly, customers and vendors who had heard Liang Junjie's words gathered around.
Seeing the vegetable vendor's face darken, Liang Junjie unceremoniously took the scale and turned it upside down.
He pointed to a dark, metallic stone on the back of the scale pan: "A magnet."
People around also moved closer and saw the magnet.
"I knew it! His scales were definitely faulty! I bought the same fruits and vegetables at other stalls for almost twice the price here!"
"Damn it! I just got scammed by him!"
"You've ruined your business like this? You're a disgrace to us vegetable vendors!"
Amidst the cacophony of voices, the vegetable vendor finally snapped and roared, "Here you go! I'm not doing business with you anymore!"
Liang Junjie calmly looked at the vegetable vendor, turned around and left, not even glancing at the cucumber that was being held up and suspended in mid-air.
Once a bad reputation spreads, no one will be fooled again. Even if he later corrects his ways, with his credibility gone, no one will be willing to believe him again.
As evening approached, Liang Junjie had already prepared a table full of dishes. He first asked his parents to wash their hands and come out to eat.
The doorbell rang, and Liang Junjie wiped his hands clean and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, two beautiful girls dressed in dark dresses and with their hair tied in pigtails appeared before him.
His eyes twitched, and he looked at someone strangely.
"Master, where did you take your junior sister?"
The two women didn't say anything, but closed the door, held hands, and sat down at the dining table.
Liang Junjie's parents had already finished eating and were preparing to go back to their bedroom to watch TV. Hearing the voices of two women returning inside, they only glanced at them from outside the bedroom door, silently offered their encouragement to their son, and then went back to watching TV.
At the dinner table, Liang Junjie served the dishes again, which was his habit. If his family wasn't eating together, he would prepare two batches.
"Xueji, this is your cucumber stir-fried with pork. Come and try it, it's my cooking, Senior Brother." After Liang Junjie finished speaking, he picked up a piece of cucumber and ate it first.
Seeing this, the two women also started eating.
A moment later, the food entered their mouths, and the smooth texture stimulated their taste buds, making the three of them very hungry.
"By the way, Master, why did you accept Xueji as your disciple today?" Liang Junjie asked curiously after finishing his meal.
"Let Xiaoxue say it herself," Huo Chuyu patted Yu Xueji's head.
Yu Xueji recounted how she killed Qian Hu, how she became his disciple, and how the two of them went on trips together.
Liang Junjie listened intently, and after Yu Xueji finished speaking, Liang Junjie sighed.
"You guys had a great time, but I lost my job, even though I left on my own."
After hearing Liang Junjie's words, the two women neither laughed nor offered any comfort. Instead, they silently picked up Liang Junjie's bowl and chopsticks, walked to the sink, and began washing the dishes.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the three of them went to Liang Junjie's room to start the day's summary, which was something Huo Chuyu insisted that the two of them do.
"Cultivation is like going to work; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. At the same time, proper planning for the future is also of paramount importance in personal cultivation. Starting today, you two must summarize what happened and what you experienced in your cultivation each day, and reflect on whether your behavior was in accordance with your own nature and the Way of Heaven."
After listening, Liang Junjie reflected on what he had done that day and finally came to a small conclusion: "Master, I feel I did the right thing today. I have the confidence and the ability. It's against my conscience to suffer undeserved humiliation at the hands of others, so I quit my job! I also obtained a beneficial magic weapon for my cultivation from the Fortune and Prosperity Master. My cultivation today wasn't in vain!"
He said this with a smile on his face.
Huo Chuyu patted his head, then looked at Yu Xueji.
Yu Xueji's words were brief: "Today I learned how to kill, and I became an apprentice. Today's training was worthwhile!"
Huo Chuyu also patted Yu Xueji's head.
"You two are both good, but that only applies to you as Qi Refining cultivators. You must continue to examine and reflect on yourselves in this way, otherwise you might go astray and fall into the demonic path, and then there will be no way to save you."
After saying this, Huo Chuyu clapped her hands, and the scene where the three of them were instantly transformed from Liang Junjie's room into a grassy area.
"Xiao Liang, take out your magic weapon and let your master and Xiao Xue see it."
Upon hearing Huo Chuyu's words, Liang Junjie didn't hesitate and immediately took out his spiritual seal. A pair of beautiful earring-shaped magical artifacts were then worn on Liang Junjie's earlobes.
"Hmm, not bad. A Foundation Establishment magic weapon, a mental enhancement type. You really know how to choose."
Liang Junjie shook his head, and his spiritual imprint began to change. Subtle golden light flickered, and spiritual fluctuations emanated, affecting not only Liang Junjie but also Yu Xueji.
"My head feels a little dizzy..."
Yu Xueji felt dizzy, and Liang Junjie then withdrew his spiritual seal, looking at the two women in front of him with a grin.
"Master, I now have amplification magic items. When can I get my own offensive magic items?"
Huo Chuyu tapped his head impatiently: "Cultivators can't go far by relying on magic treasures; they need to cultivate more spells and supernatural abilities."
"Both the 'Starfire Technique' and the 'Heart Water Technique' have corresponding attack methods; you can figure them out on your own."
After saying that, Huo Chuyu threw out two Qi-refining little demon beasts. The two Qi-refining little demon beasts looked around in confusion, and when they saw Huo Chuyu, fear instantly filled their hearts, and their strong bodies trembled violently.
"These two are wild boars. They ate some spiritual creatures and gained some cultivation and intelligence. You can use them to practice your skills. By the way, don't kill them. I want to fatten them up and slaughter them for food during the New Year."
The two wild boars seemed to understand Huo Chuyu's words, letting out a mournful cry: "Hoo!"
