Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss - Chapter 2112
2112 Pretending is also a skill
Ling Chuxi’s eyes brightened. The table was half-filled with spirit stones. Other than the ones she had seen before, there were a few five-colored ones. The spiritual energy here was several times more abundant than the others. Other than the spirit stones, there were also a few medicinal herbs. Even with Ling Chuxi’s knowledge, she could not recognize the origin of these medicinal herbs.
In addition to the spirit stones and herbs, what interested her the most were a few pieces of crystal-clear nephrite. This nephrite was only half the size of a palm and had exquisite patterns carved on it. It looked somewhat like an array disc, but it was much lighter and more exquisite than an array disc. Ling Chuxi could faintly sense a powerful aura from these pieces of soft jade.
“What is this?” Ling Chuxi picked up a piece of soft jade and asked.
!!
“This is a talisman that my master had specially asked someone to make. Sealed inside is a sword technique that my master used to strike with all his strength.” Shi chenhua said smugly.
He cursed his bad luck in his heart. If he had not been sent flying by Ling Chuxi the moment he came up and had his meridians sealed at the same time, he would have been able to protect himself with just these few spiritual talismans. However, who would have thought that a half-Saint Martial cultivator could be so terrifying?
“Heart shattering sword!” Ling Chuxi immediately understood. It turned out that this spiritual talisman and the heart shattering sword had the same principle, but it was of a higher grade than the heart shattering sword. The heart shattering sword could only seal an attack that was one level lower than the user’s cultivation, but this spiritual talisman could retain the strongest attack.
However, the requirements for using this spiritual talisman were obviously higher than that of the heart shattering sword. Otherwise, Shi chenhua would have used it long ago. Why would he wait until now?
It was no wonder that Huangfu qingjue had told him not to rush to advance to the sage level, but to improve his weapon-refining and elixir-refining skills first. There were endless strange and unique skills in the Qing-Yun realm, and Shi chenhua, who had just entered the sage level, had already taken out such a good thing. He wondered how many other treasures the other experts had. Ling Chuxi finally understood Huangfu qingjue’s good intentions.
“You think this trash can be considered compensation?” Ling Chuxi threw the talisman on the table and said disdainfully.
In fact, she did not want to bully Shi chenhua anymore after seeing how sensible he was. However, good things were usually reserved for the last. If she did not scare him a little more, he would not be willing to take them out.
Zi Yin had long been dazzled by the table full of good stuff. She was so excited that her hands were trembling. When she heard Ling Chuxi’s words, she secretly stuck out her tongue. These ordinary spiritual stones were fine, but the five-colored spiritual stones, spiritual herbs, and spiritual talismans were things that even the Zi family might not be able to produce. Yet, she actually said that they were trash. Just what kind of background did this elder sister Chuxi have to have such high standards?
In fact, there were different levels of individual cultivators. Could it be that she was actually a disciple of a peerless reclusive cultivator, but she had been living in seclusion since young, so she knew nothing about the outside world?
Seeing Ling Chuxi’s disapproving look, the more Zi Yin thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.
Shi chenhua looked at Ling Chuxi with some doubt in his eyes. The things he had taken out were already not bad. At least in green cloud Town, no one had spent as much as he did. However, Ling Chuxi had only shown a little interest in the beginning and then threw them back like garbage, not even putting them in her eyes.
Could it be that he was pretending to be profound and wanted to extort more benefits from him? Shi chenhua was not a fool and had guessed this. However, upon closer inspection of Ling Chuxi’s expression, there was a natural sense of pride in her calmness. There was no trace of pretense at all.
However, he did not know that Ling Chuxi was indeed pretending. It was just that as the sect master of the Golden core sect, she had been in a high position for a long time. Over time, she had naturally developed a sense of detachment. Once she put on an act, it was not something that a person like him could see through. That was why acting was also a skill.
