Chapter 363: (1): Who Can Lend Me a Sword
The Dust Medicinal Shop had returned to its former lively and bustling state.
After an hour of sparring, Zheng Dafeng allowed Wei Xian and the others some time to rest. After that, the sparring sessions continued in a periodic fashion, and Zheng Dafeng kept his own cultivation base restricted to the eighth tier the entire time, but was slowly elevating it over time, from the earliest initial-Far Roaming Tier gradually to the peak-Far Roaming Tier.
The teamwork displayed by Wei Xian and the others was becoming more and more exemplary over time, thereby placing more and more pressure on Zheng Dafeng. This entire time, the four of them hadn't come together to speak even once. Even during the breaks that they were afforded, all of them stood apart from one another, silently absorbed in their own thoughts.
After having dinner and completing her transcriptions for the day, Pei Qian picked up her hiking pole, then began practicing her self-invented Deranged Demon Sword Techniques in the courtyard. After that, she went back to her room to sleep, feeling very satisfied with herself.
Before going to bed, she called out to Chen Ping'an to let him know that she was retiring for the night, then opened the green bamboo bookcase that Chen Ping'an had placed in her room. From there, she brought out the treasure box gifted to her by Yao Jinzhi and began going through the things inside, while the Treasure Pagoda Demon-Suppressing Talisman that now truly belonged to her was plastered to her head.
Right as she was bobbing her head from side to side with a gleeful expression, a hint of melancholy suddenly appeared on her face. She knew that if she were to sell this talisman, then she would be able to afford a big house, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to part with the talisman. However, she quickly brushed off those worries.
At the moment, she wasn't wanting for food or shelter, so it didn't make much of a difference whether she had a house or not. Having said that, she had already made up her mind that she was definitely going to buy a house in the future that was at least as big as Green Roving Residence.
On top of that, she had to have a strange spirit wall as well to ensure that all of her visitors immediately realized just how wealthy she was.
That same night, the yin soul with the Zhao surname returned with a series of geomancy maps. No one knew where he had sourced these maps from, but it hardly mattered. The maps were placed on the table in the main hall in an orderly fashion, and under the light of the lamp, Lu Baixiang asked Zheng Dafeng for a thin-tipped brush, then began making markings and annotations on the maps as if he were a general directing an army.
