I started with five spiritual roots, and I maxed out my sideline

Chapter 153 How do you know I don’t know if you don’t ask?

"Mr. Shi, I went to the mortal world to hunt demons last time, but they seemed to be transformed from puppets?" Du Xiaoxiao expressed the doubts in her heart.

Rao is the leader of the demon clan, and Du Xiaoxiao does not intend to tell Shi Lao about the demon clan’s affairs. Shi Lao may be someone from the upper cultivation world.

Although he wasn't before, maybe he is now.

Du Xiaoxiao suppressed her doubts in her heart and planned to go back and let Song An take a look.

If you can't see it, then it's most likely someone from the upper realm of immortal cultivation.

So Du Xiaoxiao also needs to think carefully about whether or not to continue the next cooperation.

She couldn't sell all these things to the upper cultivation world.

Although people from the upper cultivation world can interfere in the affairs of the Cangjing Continent, there are restrictions. Their alchemists and talisman masters should also be a precious profession.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to allow outstanding talents to serve as spies.

Nothing necessary.

As for high-level talismans, they can only be purchased with spirit stones.

They are up there, so the spiritual energy must be much richer than that in Cangjing Continent.

The spiritual energy is rich, so there must be many spiritual stone veins. There is no shortage of spiritual stones, and they can do whatever they want in this lower world.

Do you want to buy anything?

After figuring out the key, Du Xiaoxiao decided to stop these collaborations.

"Transformed from a puppet monster? Wouldn't that make the mortal world very dangerous?" Old Shi looked at Du Xiaoxiao in surprise.

"I don't know either, but I find it very strange." Du Xiaoxiao also imitated Mr. Shi and frowned as he thought.

Anyway, she didn't know the truth, so she gave Mr. Shi a piece of information that sounded true and false. If anything unexpected happened, Du Xiaoxiao would be able to find out from Rao's mouth.

Now Song An is Du Xiaoxiao's biggest source of information.

She still believed Song An more, just because she was the eldest senior brother's mother, and the eldest senior brother did not deny it, so her status in Du Xiaoxiao's heart was directly raised.

These are all traceable.

Du Xiaoxiao was willing to believe her.

No matter what, Mr. Shi is still an outsider.

Du Xiaoxiao thought in her heart.

"Yeah, it's indeed strange." Old Shi nodded in agreement.

The room fell into silence.

"Is there anything good recently?" asked Mr. Shi tentatively.

"Isn't there a sect competition recently? My brothers and sisters are all busy, so I only have the Beauty Pill and the Rejuvenation Pill, which I made myself."

Du Xiaoxiao no longer wanted to sell these strategic materials.

It’s better for the sect to store more of these things. Who can refuse these things?

If a fight really breaks out, these things will be life-saving and will determine the outcome of the battle.

So, Du Xiaoxiao has to change her strategy.

But, if you sell it, you can buy it in the system. It seems more cost-effective to buy it in the system?

Du Xiaoxiao's mind is a little confused now, and she plans to go back and sort it out later.

"Great, the beauty pill hasn't appeared for a long time, and the female practitioners have been asking about it recently." When Old Shi heard this, his eyes lit up.

Du Xiaoxiao also knew that his core idea was to earn spirit stones, which was similar to her own.

"Then I'll send it to you tomorrow. I'm leaving first! I have an appointment with my senior brothers and sisters to have dinner tonight." Du Xiaoxiao waved goodbye to Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi stood up and saw him off with a smile.

After Du Xiaoxiao's back disappeared, his smile turned cold.

No one knows what is in his mind.

Du Xiaoxiao didn't have the energy to care about him.

Back at the inn, Du Xiaoxiao saw the familiar innkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw Du Xiaoxiao, he went straight to greet her.

"Oh, young friend, I thought you wouldn't come this year. I wanted to thank you properly!" The shopkeeper looked at Du Xiaoxiao very kindly.

He used the prescription Du Xiaoxiao gave him in his business, and unexpectedly, his business became very popular!

The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were not visible.

He picked up a bag of spirit stones and stuffed it into Du Xiaoxiao's arms.

"My dear friend, didn't you give me the hot pot recipe last time? It became very popular afterwards, didn't it? I have been thinking about repaying you, but I just remembered that I didn't add your spiritual energy, so I delayed it."

The shopkeeper scratched his head, and seeing Du Xiaoxiao looking at the storage bag in her hand with confusion, he explained.

"So that's how it is? Then I won't be polite." Du Xiaoxiao directly put the bag of spirit stones in her arms.

Anyone who has the spiritual stones but doesn’t accept them is a fool.

She knew that hotpot would make money, but she was too busy to do it. When she returned to the sect, she could suggest to her master to do it.

I guess with so many disciples being recruited, it would be a bit difficult to rely solely on the sect's spiritual stones, right?

The master will probably like this suggestion.

Du Xiaoxiao thought.

"Why are you being so polite to me, young friend? If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. If I can do it, I will never let you down." The shopkeeper patted his chest and said proudly.

Du Xiaoxiao was a little moved.

It is not easy for the shopkeeper to work hard here. It is rare to maintain a kind heart in this selfish world.

Du Xiaoxiao's favorability towards the shopkeeper increased sharply.

"Yes, since the shopkeeper has spoken, I won't be polite." Du Xiaoxiao responded with a smile.

"You're welcome, young lady. Would you like some?" the shopkeeper pointed at the hot pot and asked enthusiastically.

"Let's talk about it tonight. I'm busy now. Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper." Du Xiaoxiao thanked the shopkeeper with a smile and turned to go upstairs.

Now is not the time to eat and drink, you should first sort out what you need to do.

Only then will Du Xiaoxiao feel at ease to eat and drink.

It is impossible to relax right now.

Du Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt that the current situation was tense.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhongzhou has added new events to the sect competition since this year.

Something must have changed, which is why Zhongzhou added the project in such a hurry.

It had remained unchanged for thousands of years before. The changes this year might be related to the puppet monsters and the upper immortal world.

Plus the rise of Xuanling Sect last year.

Yes, the Xuanling Sect is rising.

Du Xiaoxiao seemed to have grasped the key point.

This point is indeed very important.

All of these things changed subtly after the last sect competition, which means that there are many unknown secrets buried in the Xuanling Sect.

And what is going on with the demon king suppressed by the Xuanling Sect?

These things lingered in Du Xiaoxiao's mind and could not be shaken off for a long time.

Du Xiaoxiao had a rough guess in her mind, but it just took time to verify it.

"You've been thinking for so long, why don't you ask me?" Song An's deep voice startled Du Xiaoxiao.

"You may not see what I'm thinking of." Du Xiaoxiao sighed. For now, she didn't want to know the ending so soon. If she knew, she would be in agony.

"How do you know I don't know if you don't ask?" Song An floated in front of Du Xiaoxiao and said jokingly.

"Do you think Mr. Shi is from the world of immortals?" Du Xiaoxiao was still concerned about this question.
