Chapter Eighty-Three Cultivation
Back in their hotel room, Xiaotian was finally free to move around and eagerly asked: "Mom, aren't you able to refine spiritual equipment? Why did we sell it?"
Su Tang smiled and patiently explained to Xiao Bu Dong.
He decided to sell the flying swords after careful consideration. As the saying goes, "an innocent man is not guilty, but one who carries precious jade is bound to be suspected." Carrying several flying swords on his body was inconvenient wherever he went, and he had to be constantly on guard. Once the treasure was exposed, there was a risk of encountering unexpected danger. It was better to sell them for money and then buy a large quantity of elixirs.
As for refining, although he had opened the third spiritual aperture long ago, he had never refined a spiritual soul because the third spiritual aperture was reserved for the Taizhen Sword. However, the spiritual energy contained in the Taizhen Sword was too powerful, and the time it took to refine would be very long, possibly even reaching several days. In Yunshui Ze, sitting still for several days without moving was no different from seeking death, he didn't have that opportunity.
The first spirit aperture is the Night Weeping Bow, he has already gotten used to using the Night Weeping Bow's long-range attack ability in battle, and possesses a complete martial art and fighting technique, it is impossible for him to merge with the Night Weeping Bow.
In the second spiritual aperture, there is an unnamed mask. As the level of the mask increases, he has a feeling that cannot be described or explained. The mask possesses infinite power, and its rank is even far above the Taizhong Sword. It is not possible to increase the assistance greatly now because his strength is insufficient, or he has not found the trick.
The third spiritual acupoint should be left for the Taizhong Sword, unless he can immediately open the fourth spiritual acupoint, otherwise those few flying swords are really useless to him, and he hasn't obtained the spiritual key, unable to control the flying swords, carrying them every day is just a burden.
Of course, Su Tang's explanation to Xiao Buzhi would definitely emphasize his kind intentions. The Pei Ling Dan that Xi Xiao Ru gave him had long been eaten by Xiao Buzhi, and his spiritual power had not been replenished for a long time. Therefore, he would rather not refine it himself, but instead exchange it for elixirs to ensure Xiao Buzhi's healthy growth.
Xiao Buzhi's mind was still unable to see through Su Tang's sinister intentions, and he was moved to tears.
However, when it was time for a midnight snack, Su Tang's true nature was exposed again...
The hotel's partner brought Su Tang a midnight snack, and after receiving Su Tang's generous reward during the day, his attitude towards Su Tang underwent a huge change. He would complete all the tasks entrusted to him with great effort, and the midnight snack was extremely sumptuous, not only with wine and meat, but also a small bowl of golden egg custard. The aroma emitted by the egg custard had a very strong temptation for Su Tang, who had been struggling in Yunshui Ze for more than half a year.
After the fellow left, Su Tang first put clear water in a spoon, then pinched the newly bought Baizhi Dan into pieces and sprinkled it in the spoon. Perhaps, as parents, they all have the same instinct, not to prepare their children's food first, no matter how hungry they are or how fragrant the food is in front of them, they don't have the heart to taste it by themselves.
Xiao Bu Dian stood at the edge of the small iron basin, curiously looking at the egg custard below. He had never seen anything like it before.
"Mom, is this delicious?" Xiaobudian asked.
"You must be not used to eating this, right?" Su Tang said with a smile. In his impression, Xiao Bu Dong was an absolute vegetarian. Every time he encountered meat, no matter whether it was tender or tough, he would find it unpalatable.
"May I have a little taste?" asked Xiaobudian.
"Try it," said Su Tang, then took a pair of chopsticks and carefully stirred the clear water in the spoon.
A small drop fell on the egg custard, and after taking a small bite, he smacked his lips and exclaimed: "Mom, it's delicious!"
"Can you eat this?" Su Tang was somewhat surprised: "Then have some more."
Having obtained permission, Xiaobudian was delighted and lowered his head to eat again. Who knew that Sutang had a wicked thought at this moment, quietly raised another spoon, and gently patted the back of Xiaobudian's head. Xiaobudian was caught off guard, and his upper body suddenly fell into the egg custard, leaving only two legs and half a pair of wings exposed outside.
Su Tang burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he was doubled over, but after a few laughs, he suddenly realized that something was off. Xiao Bu Dong was standing upside down in the egg drop soup, motionless, seemingly having fainted.
Su Tang was shocked, Xiao Buzhi's physique was absolutely not as delicate as his appearance, he had been swallowed by the single-horned python before and still came out unscathed, even sleeping in the python's belly, making Su Tang who had a fierce battle with the python cry and laugh at the same time.
How can a light tap make someone dizzy? Could it be... that they were scalded?!
Su Tang approached the small iron basin, wanting to see what was going on, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Buzhi's wing. Just then, Xiao Buzhi suddenly shook its body, and the egg drop soup was splashed out like scattered flowers.
Su Tang stayed there, his eyebrows, nose, cheeks and chin were all covered with egg drops, looking particularly comical.
Little Notch flew up and sat on the edge of a small iron basin, humming some sort of tune in his mouth, smiling at Su Tang. Although the egg custard was very greasy, its body remained clean, and its special physique made it not stained with grease, much stronger than Su Tang.
Su Tang sat stupidly for a moment, then got up and walked to one side to wipe his face with a towel.
"This little thing is getting worse and worse!" Su Tang said, feeling somewhat depressed.
The little dot seemed even happier because in its education, saying it was bad was a form of praise.
"Alright, stop making a fuss, wasting food is not good." Su Tang said, this was his authority, when the war started and ended, it all depended on him.
One big and one small, the two people started eating. A small bowl of egg drop soup was quickly cleaned up. Su Tang pointed to the medicinal water in the spoon: "Drink this."
"Hmm." Xiaobudian flew to the side of the spoon and landed, responding very seriously. After all, Su Tang had just given it a brainwashing lesson, and all the elixirs were hard-won, obtained by Su Tang with the spirit of sacrificing himself.
The medicine water was finished, and Xiaobu still felt a bit unfulfilled. He looked up and shouted: "Mom, I want to drink wine..." In his impression, every time he dodged Su Tang's teasing or successfully counterattacked, Su Tang would become very generous and easy-going.
"Good." Su Tang said, then picked up his own wine cup and poured a few drops into the spoon. These were enough, any more would be too much and might lead to drunkenness.
The spoon was licked clean, and the little one lay on the table with a satisfied expression, staring at Su Tang. Su Tang's eating speed was far slower than his, still struggling with the chicken leg in his hand.
At this moment, Xiaobudian has not yet formed a complete and mature mind, it is just feeling that life seems so beautiful and happy.
"Mom, listen to a story..." Xiaobu called out.
"Alright..." Su Tang said while eating: "A long time ago, there was a person named Chu Wang. Someone presented him with a beautiful woman. His wife's name was Zheng Shou..."
If there were a renowned educator at this moment, he would surely condemn Su Tang's improper behavior. Telling a young child the story of Han Feizi borrowing a knife to kill someone is too much... What kind of person do you want the child to become in the future?!
