He hasn't been anywhere...
Of course, even though it's all fake, she still likes imagining those things.
After the establishnt of the Thousand chanism Pavilion, she found a way to bring his parents over and purchased a property in Thousand chanism Town for them, so they wouldn't have to work and would be free from want in the future.
"That's pretty much the situation. My family's story is just like that. I only know these things… If you ask more, I can only tell you those silly little stories my father made up to lull to sleep when I was a child."
"I see..." Chen Qin sighed, feeling a bit bored.
"However, I do know sothing about that Hun Yuan Constitution you ntioned," Qiao Lezhi said, gasping for breath.
"How so?" Chen Qin perked up.
"The divine soul and flesh rge, unable to separate. If that's what the Hun Yuan Constitution is, then I am it," Qiao Lezhi said, pointing to herself.
Chen Qin, "Huh?"
That sa invincible barbaric strength in Qiao Lezhi and the secret of leveling up while sleeping cos from this.
And it's normal that no one discovered this.
Before, Qiao Lezhi, being extraordinarily gifted, disliked cultivation. She skipped her morning lessons and missed evening classes. Not to ntion ignoring the Soul Separation technique; she didn't learn or practice even the Sword Sect spells.
It's unusual for her to be normal; being gifted is what's peculiar.
So regarding this matter, not only outsiders, even she herself didn't think much of it.
If it weren't for her recent determination to catch up on her studies, she wouldn't have known about this herself.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
Qiao Lezhi rubbed her hair, seeming sowhat secretive. After thinking for a while, she decided to reveal the truth.
"Although I don't know why Junior Brother Zhang Ze is investigating the Hun Yuan Constitution, there's sothing I must tell you."
Chen Qin, "What is it?"
"As for others, I don't know, but I don't have a Golden Core."
Chen Qin, "!"
This ti, not only Chen Qin but even i'Er, who was on the side playing with small walnuts, looked up in shock at Qiao Lezhi.
i'Er exclaid in disbelief, "How did you keep such a big secret?"
"Because nobody asked," Qiao Lezhi shrugged, "besides Junior Brother Zhang Ze, normal people don't take out their Golden Cores to play, or say, 'Co over to my house, I'll show you my Golden Core.'
"So as long as I don't say anything, no one knows."
i'Er thought so too; the Golden Core is such a precious thing, and only Zhang Ze would take it out to play.
She herself was influenced by him.
"But… Wait a minute." Chen Qin snapped back to her senses from the shock and spotted the blind spot.
"But if the Hun Yuan Constitution doesn't have a Golden Core, then what about Senior Brother? He has several!"
Qiao Lezhi spread her hands, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the clouds in the sky.
"I don't know about that."
......
Thousand chanism Pavilion.
Lily followed behind Zhang Ze, chattering incessantly.
"Tsk, I've always said, Boss, your Golden Cores are just stones; Qiao Lezhi is the normal one. Keep one as a souvenir, and leave the rest to to smash."
"Shut up, keep babbling, and I'll let you fight Fuji in the octagon."
"Tch~"
After suppressing Lily, Zhang Ze pondered the information his junior sister sent back with a complicated expression.
Indeed, as the old saying goes, there's always an antidote within seven steps.
But he never thought it would be so close.
Looking at the Erli Bridge bead shop with the 'Closed for today' sign hanging, Zhang Ze stepped inside.
The shop owner, who was tidying the back room, heard the wind chi and ca out to welco him.
"I'm sorry about today…, oh, it's the young lord, please co in."
Qiao Lezhi's father is tall and thin, resembling a farr working in the fields. Although he runs a business, he's not shrewd but rather gives off an honest and simple vibe from inside out.
Zhang Ze wasn't familiar with him; he had only t him once when he moved here due to Qiao Lezhi.
"I've co today..." Zhang Ze thought for a mont before deciding to be direct.
After confirming that the two Qiao Family mbers from the Beast Taming Sect and Dragon Tiger Mountain were actually one person, he sought so seniors who had a good relationship with Qiao Tianqiao back in the day and asked a few questions. Then, Qiao Tianqiao's image enriched substantially.
As a result, Zhang Ze's storytelling beca smoother and more convincing.
"After leaving Dragon Tiger Mountain, the elder joined the Beast Taming Sect and changed his na to Qiao Tianjiao."
While Zhang Ze was telling his story, Lily, bored from being banned from chatting, started wandering around the shop. Though located in the pedestrian street, its location was indeed secluded, and she hadn't visited much.
After making rounds, Lily turned to the listening Mr. Qiao Erli and thought that appearances can be deceiving.
So people just look unassuming, but when it cos to business, they are incredibly shrewd.
Thousand chanism Town is filled with extraordinary people, competing fiercely.
It truly gathers the comrcial essence of the entire East Continent, and recently, with frequent exchanges with the Northern Territory, the Northern essence has been pouring in, showing a trend of flooding this place.
Besides the regular business operation, there are occasional mysterious loose cultivators who set up stalls while outsmarting city managent.
They also have quite a few good items in their hands.
Compared to them, Qiao Erli's artifact refining skills have no competitiveness. So, to avoid completely relying on his daughter for a living, he chose a different path and succeeded on it.
That path is creating figures of Fuji.
From bead chains to ornants, abstract or detailed, everything is available. Though crafted from the simplest spiritual jade, his craftsmanship is exquisite, lifelike.
Especially the petite Fuji in the center of the wooden cabinet holding a musical instrunt, it looks almost real.
