Heroic Couple Black Market: Opened

Operation record: At the end of the Si hour, Liu Qingmei consumed 200 Heroic Couple Points to purchase the 'Heavenly Silkworm Black Ice Stockings'; and extracted and synthesized the Huiling Pill.

Ok?
Ning Mu was stunned when he saw that Liu Qingmei actually used her companion points to buy stockings instead of improving her cultivation.

Even if she bought some medicine or pills, or even some secret manuals on martial arts, he would not be surprised.

Can……

She actually wasted these extremely precious Couple Points to buy stockings?

It seems that this grown-up woman is not as mature and stable as she appears to be!

Ning Mu immediately checked what the Heavenly Silkworm Black Ice Silk looked like.

After seeing the picture, he couldn't help but imagine how charming Liu Qingmei would look when she wore it!
Tsk tsk.

It must be exciting!
It seems that we need to speed up the pace and change the mission strategy!
Ning Mu thought to himself.

Return to Qiyun Tower.

Ning Mu added all the 100 cultivation points he had gained today to his cultivation.

then.

He also learned the Floating Phantom Steps, a reward he had just obtained.

[Do you want to learn the Earth-level body movement: Floating Phantom Step? ]

'study! ’

Martial Arts: Earth Rank: Floating Phantom Steps (Beginner 0/100)

As a large amount of knowledge flooded into his mind like an enlightenment, Ning Mu suddenly felt that he had gained a special ability.

Immediately.

He then started to practice according to the moves he remembered.

Floating in the sky and earth, missing without a trace, empty and unreal.

Although he was still in the beginner stage, Ning Mu was like a shadow, advancing and retreating, appearing and disappearing, flashing and swaying in the yard.

[Tip: You have practiced the Earth-level body movement Floating Phantom Steps, proficiency +1, current proficiency level: beginner, please keep working hard! ]

I had a great run around the yard.

Ning Mu supported his knees with his hands, bent over and gasped for breath. His body movements were amazing.

But consuming internal energy is also awesome.

With his cultivation level at the Awakening Stage, he almost couldn't hold on after just running one lap.

After a short rest.

He picked up the bamboo pole again and continued practicing his moves.

Whether it is useful or not, it is always good to be familiar with it.

"Second Young Master."

[Tip: You have practiced the Earth-level martial arts Aoshuang Sword Skill, Sword Skill proficiency +2, current proficiency level: beginner, please keep working hard! ]

With a soft call, Ning Mu ended the drill and the system skipped the prompt message.

Ning Mu turned around.

Liu Xiaoya was seen walking into the yard gracefully, carrying a specially made golden nanmu lunch box.

"Ah, young master, you are practicing martial arts. What kind of moves are you using? This chopping and slashing action doesn't look like a sword technique?"

Liu Xiaoya spoke softly, her beautiful eyes dancing with admiration. She walked to the pavilion in the yard with her lunch box, looked at Ning Mu curiously and asked.

Ning Mu also walked into the pavilion and said casually, "You are just practicing blindly, Xiaoya, what are you doing?"

"Oh, this is the lunch I prepared for you from the kitchen. Dragon blood rice and dragon bone fragrant leaves are very beneficial to cultivation."

As she spoke, Liu Xiaoya opened the lunch box with a smile.

Then she placed the food in the box on the stone table one by one.

The first thing that came to mind was a bowl of rice placed in front of Ning Mu.

just.

This rice is very different from ordinary rice.

The overall color is crystal red, shining brightly, as if it contains sparkling red blood, clear and bright, as if it will overflow at any time.

If this rice was made in modern times, Ning Mu would definitely think that it contained too much gelatin additives.

However, when the lunch box was opened, an indescribable fragrance immediately filled my nose.

This is definitely not made with any additives.

In front of the rice is a plate of crisp, tender, green vegetable leaves.

The shape of the leaf can no longer be seen, but it can be roughly seen that it is somewhat similar to Chinese cabbage.

The other two plates are more normal.

One portion of plain venison, one portion of soup.

"Dragon blood rice?" Ning Mu asked curiously as he looked at the crystal red rice.

"Yes, dragon blood rice and dragon bone fragrant leaves are both foods specially provided for warriors. Ordinary people cannot eat too much of them."

"And these two items are extremely precious, more valuable than gold. Just this small bowl of dragon blood rice and this plate of dragon bone incense leaves cost at least fifty taels of silver, and they are in short supply. They are specially supplied by the imperial court and the major sects in the martial arts world, and are strictly controlled. Ordinary people can't buy them at all."

"Many talented warriors in the martial arts world are unable to obtain dragon blood rice due to economic reasons. In the end, they are unable to improve themselves, and some even die from lack of energy and blood."

"But you don't have to worry, young master. Cangjian Villa and our young lady Liu's family are both top-notch sects in the martial arts world. We have our own Dragon Rhythm Spiritual Field, which produces a lot of dragon blood rice and dragon bone fragrant leaves every year."

Liu Xiaoya explained to Ning Mu with a smile.

"Sir, eat!"

Then, she handed a pair of ivory chopsticks as white as jade to Ning Mu.

Ning Mu took the chopsticks and started to pick up the rice grains without hesitation.

have to say.

It has a good taste, with a rich fragrance. It is sweet and delicious, and melts in your mouth.

If I had to describe it... Ning Mu felt like he was eating jelly.

But it was steaming hot.

Then he ate the dragon bone fragrance leaves to taste the flavor.

As he ate the expensive dragon blood rice and dragon bone bay leaves one after another.

A prompt also flashed on the system interface.

[Hint: Spiritual objects enter the stomach, cultivation +1! ]

"Ok?"

Ning Mu's eyes lit up.

This thing can really improve your cultivation.

He ate even more happily.

Watching Ning Mu feasting on his food, Liu Xiaoya also sat down, propping her chin with both hands, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Sir, I saw that the moves you just practiced didn't seem to be random. There was an indescribable domineering quality to them. I feel...those moves seem to be more suitable for using a knife?"

Ning Mu's heart moved.

He calmly changed the subject and said, "Sister Xiaoya, what realm are you in now?"

Since Liu Xiaoya came here on her own initiative and brought with her spiritual objects such as dragon blood rice and dragon bone fragrant leaves, she must have received instructions from Liu Qingmei and came here to assist her in her practice.

Apparently Liu Xiaoya was living a good life under the protection of Liu Qingmei. She had a very straightforward temperament and was not scheming at all.

"Oh, I told you not to call me sister. If someone hears me, they will say I have no manners."

Liu Xiaoya waved her hands and said so, but her blooming eyes showed her inner happiness and satisfaction.

"Then from now on, when there's no one around, I'll call you sister."

Ning Mu smiled and followed Liu Xiaoya's words.

These words made the simple little maid Liu Xiaoya confused.

"As for me, hehe, I'm now in the Tongmai realm, a very powerful master!" Liu Xiaoya laughed, with a little pride on her face.

"So amazing!" Ning Mu praised at the right time.

There was just the right amount of admiration in his eyes, which made Liu Xiaoya feel a little embarrassed, but she was mostly secretly happy.

Next.

While eating, Ning Mu asked Liu Xiaoya various questions about cultivation and the world of martial arts.

Liu Xiaoya also tells everyone she knows everything.

After an hour, the two had become completely familiar with each other.

Ning Mu also learned a lot of useful information from Liu Xiaoya.

For example, the Tongmai realm is the third realm of spiritual practice.

For example, a master of sitting meditation can dominate a region and establish his own school. However, to become a master of sitting meditation, one must have great luck and perseverance.

For example, a strong person in the Divine Yuan Realm may have a lifespan of up to five hundred years and be immune to all diseases. People in the world call them true people!
For example, above the Divine Origin Realm, there are even more powerful beings with a lifespan of a thousand years and who are free and at ease...

For example, the current Cangjian Villa has gradually become the target of public criticism in the martial arts world because the owner of the villa was seriously injured. Countless sects are trying to distance themselves from it, and even become enemies...

This information will undoubtedly play a key role in assigning tasks to Liu Qingmei in the future, so there is no need to assign them blindly like now.
