Chapter 42 Farewell to the Master and His Three Disciples
About an hour later, the three of them stopped, satisfied, and reluctantly returned the Crimson Flame Spear to Su Luo.
Zhou Minglang, still not entirely at ease, added, "This gun is a rare low-energy, high-power weapon, extremely precious. Su girl, you must be careful when using it, lest someone target you and tries to kill you to steal your treasure."
Su Luo smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
This gun is merely a means of self-defense; she probably won't have much chance to use it after going to the human realm. Besides, the core of the Crimson Flame Gun is the Flame Burst Talisman; even if someone steals her gun, they can't do anything without the talisman.
Having said that, Zhou Minglang said no more. He then took all the spiritual artifacts that Su Luo had repaired for him earlier and returned them to her. Afterward, he led her out of the testing room and to another storage room to show her the various treasured spiritual artifacts he had collected.
He waved his hand dismissively, "Take whatever you want. I, Zhou Minglang, keep my word."
Zhang Mo stood to the side and congratulated Su Luo, "That's wonderful! Cultivator Su, Master's treasures are all very powerful; you couldn't buy them even for thousands of spirit stones!"
Luo Zizhong slid to the largest row of cabinets in one stride and offered, "Cultivator Su, let me recommend some spiritual artifacts to you! I guarantee they'll all be useful!"
Su Luo smiled and agreed, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Zhang Mo refused to back down and ran to the other side, pointing to the spiritual artifacts in the cabinet and recommending them to Su Luo, "Cultivator Su, I'll also recommend some to you!"
"Okay, okay." Su Luo's smile grew even brighter. "I was still struggling with how to choose fifteen spiritual artifacts. Thank you so much for your help!"
The next moment, the three of them changed their expressions drastically and asked in unison, "How much?!"
“Boss Zhou used fifteen strikes, so Zhang Mo and the others’ two strikes don’t count, since you’re helping me choose a spiritual weapon now.”
Ignoring their shock, Su Luo turned to Zhou Minglang and winked, "Boss Zhou, thank you for the gift~"
Zhang Mo and the others were just too shrewd. Su Luo thought about it and decided not to include the two times they tried it out in the calculation. Sigh, kind people like her are easily taken advantage of!
"..."
Zhou Minglang clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
He was having so much fun trying it out that he hadn't even bothered to count, and now that his head had cooled down, the number made him gasp. Fifteen!
He looked back and around the storage room, which was filled with all sorts of treasures and magical artifacts that he had painstakingly collected over the years. The thought that he was about to lose fifteen of these treasures made his heart ache so much that he could hardly breathe!
But how can he take back what he said? That would be too embarrassing!
So, Zhou Minglang took a few deep breaths before awkwardly replying, "You're welcome..."
Zhang Mo and Luo Zizhong looked at each other, then decided to ignore their master's painful struggle and turned to look at the spiritual artifacts in the cabinet, actively helping Su Luo choose.
They couldn't change the fact that their master had brought this upon himself. Fortunately, Master Su hadn't included their initial attempts in the calculations. They were determined to choose the best and most suitable spiritual weapon to repay Master Su!
"Cultivator Su, this red thread escape array is quite good!"
"There's a teleportation spirit! This is a treasure that can quickly teleport long distances, Cultivator Su, this is great!"
"and this……"
"..."
Zhou Minglang watched helplessly as his two apprentices picked and chose unique treasures, one after another. For the first time, he experienced what it meant to have a heart attack.
Half an hour later, with Zhang Mo and the other person's enthusiastic recommendation, Su Luo happily put the fifteen spiritual artifacts into her storage bag and smiled.
"Thank you, Boss Zhou! I will make good use of these treasures and will never let you down."
Zhou Minglang was tired.
That girl is ruthless! She took seven Heavenly Thunder Coins! She practically emptied his storage room.
Seeing Su Luo's smug look, Zhou Minglang became even more annoyed. He waved his hand impatiently, shooing her away, "You'd better leave! Didn't you say you were planning to leave Qiangcheng tomorrow? Hurry up and go back and pack your things! Go, go!"
He was overthinking it! What was he worried about? This girl is incredibly cunning; she hasn't revealed her real name yet, and all they know is that her surname is "Su." She's also using talismans to hide her true appearance, being as cautious as can be.
She's unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss, always managing to put him in a thankless position, yet he can't do anything about it. How could someone like that possibly be a victim of murder and robbery? It's a miracle she doesn't cheat others!
Luo Zizhong hadn't expected this at all, and secretly pouted, "How could Master be so heartless..."
Even though Su Xiushi got along quite well with them, her master stingily kicked her out because she took too many spiritual artifacts!
Zhang Mo nodded in agreement. "Exactly!"
Zhou Minglang put his hands on his hips and shot him a murderous glare. "What about me?"
He hasn't even settled accounts with those two brats yet! They're siding with outsiders, choosing the best things for that girl Su Luo!
The two immediately cowered, shrinking back like quails, "N-nothing..."
Having achieved her goal, Su Luo naturally wouldn't linger any longer. So, she smiled and waved to the three of them, "Then I'm leaving. You don't need to see me off."
Zhang Mo and the other man looked at her with reluctance, "Cultivator Su, take care on your journey."
"Well, see you later."
Zhou Minglang seemed to not want to look at her and turned away directly.
Su Luo didn't mind. After saying goodbye, she turned and left without hesitation.
Just as he stepped out the door, Zhou Minglang's voice suddenly rang out behind him, "You can come to me if you need any magical artifacts made in the future, I won't charge you."
Su Luo raised an eyebrow in surprise, but did not stop walking. She left without looking back, only saying "I understand".
Her departure was so swift and decisive that it made Zhou Minglang feel depressed. He turned around and stared at the empty street.
"That girl is heartless; she left so decisively, without showing any reluctance whatsoever!"
Zhang Mo and the other person silently rolled their eyes. Didn't you tell her to leave quickly? Seriously!
Zhou Minglang muttered a complaint at the door, then turned and roared like a shrew, "What are you looking at? Get back to work! You've wasted half the day! Do you want to die?!"
"Ah! Yes!"
The two men were startled and hurriedly ran inside.
"Hmph! Two brats!"
After yelling, Zhou Minglang felt much better. He went back to the smelting room to clean up, but as he turned to get something, he noticed something on the table.
"What is it?"
He walked over curiously to take a look, his eyes flickered, and he was immediately at a loss for words.
On the table were two items: a communication stone and a blueprint. The blueprint depicted a novel magical artifact, with a line of text below that read, "Design blueprints for Boss Zhou. Contact via the communication stone if needed." It seemed to have been left by Su Luo.
This girl actually had a change of heart; she even remembered to leave him some good things. He thought she'd just use him and then throw him away!
Zhou Minglang was inexplicably moved. He rubbed his nose and gave an awkward snort, "Hmph! At least this girl has a conscience!"
……
After leaving the shop, Su Luo rushed to the clinic. Before leaving Qiang City, she wanted to take Lin Ji with her.
Thinking about this gave Su Luo a headache.
Yesterday, she specially sought out a mid-level alchemist to help Lin Ji counteract the effects of the medicine. However, after hearing Su Luo's explanation and knowing that the Forget-Dust Pill was made by Ye Danqing of the Tianyi Sect, the alchemist immediately shook his head, indicating that he was powerless to help.
Ye Danqing is one of the most skilled alchemists among the younger generation in the cultivation world. The Forget-Dust Pill he makes is different from ordinary pills, as it uses extremely special ingredients. Apart from him, there are probably very few people in the world who can decipher its medicinal properties.
Su Luo had no choice but to give up for the time being and decided to take Lin Ji with her.
After all, Lin Ji lost his memory because of her, so she couldn't just abandon him now. She could only hope that he would regain his memory soon, and then they could go their separate ways...
Just then, the sound transmission stone on Su Luo's body lit up, and Chu Wenqing's voice came through it.
"Su Luo, I have something I want to discuss with you. Shall I come find you now? It's not convenient to talk through the communication stone."
