Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All Novel - Chapter 309

309 Traveling Together

Now that Dong Xi had so many spirit stones, she did not feel any heartache at all. She grabbed a handful and threw them into the bag. After saying goodbye to Song Qingfeng, Dong Xi hung the Demon Beast Bag on her body and walked back to her room with satisfaction.

Before she could reach the door, she saw a huge creature sitting at the door from afar.

Dong Xi walked closer and found that it was actually Senior Brother Tie Zhu.

“Senior Brother Tie Zhu,” Dong Xi said in astonishment.

!!
Tie Zhu heard the voice and immediately raised his head. When he saw Dong Xi, his eyes lit up. He said, “Junior Sister!”

Tie Zhu’s gaze was as if he had seen some kind of treasure, making Dong Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

“Senior Brother, why are you here?” Dong Xi coughed a few times.

Tie Zhu lowered his head and said, “Junior Sister, I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply…”

His tone was filled with grievance, but when coupled with his huge body, it was somewhat comical.

Dong Xi immediately took out her communication jade slip. Seeing the message on it, Dong Xi said, “I was busy just now, so I didn’t read the jade slip. Senior Brother, what’s the matter?”

Tie Zhu laughed naively and scratched his head. He said, “I’m fine, it’s just… About the Body Refinement Pill…”

After saying this, Tie Zhu sneered, looking a little silly.

Dong Xi did not have many Body Refining Pills left. She could not refine any fifth-grade pills for the time being. Her two Senior Brothers would always refine two cauldrons of pills for her when they were in a good mood. Therefore, Dong Xi did not have the confidence to give an entire bottle to others.

Dong Xi took out two pills and gave them to Tie Zhu. Dong Xi said, “Senior Brother, I don’t have many Body Refining Pills left. After all, it’s a fifth-grade pill. I can’t refine it yet…”

Tie Zhu held the two pills. He was surprised and at a loss for what to do. He said, “Junior Sister, how many spirit stones do these cost? I’ll give it to you now.”

When Dong Xi heard this, she knew that Tie Zhu had misunderstood. Dong Xi said, “Senior Brother, I’ll give you these two.”

Tie Zhu shook his head. “No, I can’t take them. I’m a coward, but I know that fifth-grade pills are very expensive.”

“Senior Brother, didn’t you say that I’m your biological sister?” Dong Xi said with a smile.

Tie Zhu frowned and hesitated for a moment. He still said, “I just can’t. As an elder brother, I shouldn’t take it for free.”

This was also the first time Dong Xi had encountered such a stubborn person. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi said, “Senior Brother, you don’t have to give me spirit stones. Can you promise me one thing? These two Body Refinement Pills will be your reward.”

“What is it?” Tie Zhu asked curiously.

Dong Xi said, “After a while, I might go to the Frost Ice Sea. However, I’ve never traveled far before. I’m a little worried about going alone. I wonder if Senior Brother has time to travel with me?”

Dong Xi’s purpose for going out was to train her body. She could find someone else, but it would waste some time. Tie Zhu, who was also a body cultivator and had good strength, naturally became the most suitable candidate.

“Frost Ice Sea?” Tie Zhu asked.

Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi in shock. He frowned, and Dong Xi guessed that Tie Zhu was in a difficult position.

Tie Zhu said with some embarrassment, “Junior Sister, I can’t swim.”

Dong Xi, “…”

If she did not know anything else, it would not matter. But when it came to swimming, Dong Xi had to talk about it.

“Senior Brother, you have to learn how to swim,” said Dong Xi. “I almost died twice because I didn’t know how to swim. In order to avoid such a thing from happening again, I learned how to swim.”

Tie Zhu raised his head and saw Dong Xi’s serious expression.

Tie Zhu knew that Dong Xi was not lying. He thought for a moment and nodded.

Dong Xi continued, “It’s not a burden to have more skills. We don’t cultivate so that we can stay in the Eastern Continent forever. When we travel in the future, we may encounter many difficulties. It would be best if we can avoid them in advance.”

When Tie Zhu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, “Junior Sister is right. I will start learning once I return. When do you want to leave?”

Dong Xi pondered for a moment before saying, “It might take some time. Once it’s confirmed, I’ll send a message to Senior Brother. We’ll confirm the time. What do you think?”

Tie Zhu immediately agreed. He looked at the bottle with the two pills and said, “Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll take the pills.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Zhu thought for a moment and looked at Dong Xi with a silly smile again. He said, “Junior Sister, two pills aren’t enough for me. Do you know where I can buy Body Refining Pills?”

Dong Xi thought about it and agreed. She could give two to Tie Zhu, but she could not keep giving him free pills. And according to Tie Zhu’s personality, he might not even want it if she gave it to him directly.

“Senior Brother, you can go to the Rainbow Store and inquire about it when you have time,” said Dong Xi.
