Chapter 41
"Are you ready? Keep practicing until Teacher Luo Li comes. Don't stop in between." Zhou Cang said softly.
"Awoo!" The black dragon turtle let out a cheerful cry and posed beside Zhou Cang.
The energy in the spirit crystal was constantly drained away. After being thrown aside casually, Zhou Cang took out another piece and repeated it.
...
At about nine o'clock in the evening, there was a knock at the door.
Zhou Cang walked out of the yard quickly and welcomed Luo Li in.
"Zhou Cang, actually... you can change to a better house first. This yard is too old." Luo Li said with some emotion.
Most of the students in the past, after receiving the subsidies and resources issued by the school, most of them would choose to improve the living conditions of themselves and their families first.
"I'm used to living here, no need to change." Zhou Cang explained with a smile.
This yard has a history of hundreds of years. When Zhou Cang's parents were still alive, they often repaired the house. After all, he has lived in this yard for more than ten years, and Zhou Cang has already had feelings for it.
Seeing this, Luo Li did not say much. The two of them walked into the living room and saw the soul crystals with exhausted spiritual power all over the floor. Luo Li was stunned.
So many soul crystals? Did Zhou Cang absorb them in an afternoon?
You know, even Luo Li himself could not absorb so many soul crystals in just half a day.
"Good guy... This is the soul-gathering Mu Jin and soul-gathering crystals I got from the Beastmaster Association. The total amount is just over 3,000 yuan. With Dean Zhang here, they dare not raise the price." Luo Li handed the storage space bag to Zhou Cang and said with a smile.
"Thank you, teacher... Sit down for a while, I just want to take a break." Zhou Cang blushed and said softly.
"Oh! So you can blush too? Haven't you always been very brave?" Luo Li couldn't help but joked when she saw Zhou Cang like this.
The two sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"Ahem... Otherwise, I'd better not disturb you from practicing." Luo Li coughed a few times and pretended to get up.
"Don't go..." Zhou Cang subconsciously reached out and pulled Luo Li back to his side.
The two looked at each other, with a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in a room. If they told others, there would be many misunderstandings.
"Teacher Luo, do you... have a boyfriend?" Zhou Cang was silent for a moment, and slowly asked.
When Luo Li heard this, her pupils shrank instantly, and she looked at Zhou Cang in amazement.
What is this for? Could it be... that he wants to pursue me?
At the age of 24, Luo Li is already a beastmaster at the level of a venerable. In addition, she has extremely superior conditions. Naturally, countless people usually throw olive branches to Luo Li.
Among these people, there are many young people with prominent family backgrounds, rich families, and promising young people, but without exception, they were all rejected by Luo Li.
But facing Zhou Cang, who is six years younger than her, Luo Li couldn't bear to refuse for a while.
"Zhou Cang, do you know what you are saying?" Luo Li took a deep breath and asked after forcing herself to calm down.
"I know, so... is it okay?" Zhou Cang looked directly at Luo Li and asked.
"This... is not okay, you are too young, if it gets out, my reputation will be ruined." Luo Li closed her eyes and murmured.
"It's something we both agree on, what does it have to do with others, Teacher Luo Li, if you don't want to, just say it directly, I don't mind." Zhou Cang said softly.
Zhou Cang seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was also panicking.
Luo Li's heart seemed to be undergoing an extremely tormenting choice, and her brows furrowed.
Zhou Cang was very good, and Luo Li agreed with this very much. Although he awakened his talent at the age of 18, he had already leaped to the apprentice level of beastmaster in just a few days. This alone could surpass most people.
In addition, Zhou Cang also signed contracts with the Black Dragon Turtle and the Void Unicorn.
With resources and connections, it is indeed possible to promote a newly awakened beastmaster to the apprentice level, but signing a contract with the ancient beast and the void unicorn is not something that resources and connections can do.
In addition, Zhou Cang lost his parents when he was young, and he only relied on the monthly pension and did not accept any help from anyone. It is extremely difficult for him to get to this point.
Steady personality, tenacity, extraordinary talent, and good luck, any of these are not something that ordinary people can do.
I have to say... When Luo Li heard Zhou Cang's "Is it okay?", she was really moved.
"Teacher... go back and rest first, even if you refuse... wait until I finish participating in the league." Zhou Cang couldn't bear to let Luo Li be so entangled, and said with a wry smile.
"Okay,I'll tell you quietly, I might also participate in the Venerable League. Let's talk about our relationship after the league is over." Luo Li exhaled lightly and said with a smile.
After sending Luo Li away, Zhou Cang calmed down, sat cross-legged again and began to practice.
Although the price of the Soul Gathering Mu Jin is eight times that of the Soul Gathering Crystal, the spiritual energy contained in it is nearly ten times that of ordinary Soul Gathering Crystal. Overall, it is still very cost-effective.
Of course, this price is probably only Luo Li can buy it. If Zhou Cang goes, the price will increase by at least 30%.
This is also the reason why Zhou Cang did not choose the Soul Gathering Mu Jin when he went to the Treasure Pavilion for the first time.
The next morning, just after dawn, Zhou Cang just absorbed the last Soul Gathering Mu Jin.
"It's done! "Zhou Cang let out a smile.
After a night of hard work, Zhou Cang successfully advanced to the Master level. It has been exactly ten days since Zhou Cang awakened his talent.
If others knew about this speed, they would be shocked.
But for Zhou Cang, it seemed to be just an ordinary thing.
If blindly improving the promotion speed would not lead to an unstable foundation and difficulty in future cultivation, Zhou Cang could have been promoted to Master within five days if he had sufficient resources.
[Enhancement value: 4987!]
Zhou Cang did not choose to use up all the enhancement value last time, and with the conversion this time, the total There are nearly 5,000 points!
After using up all these enhancement points, the strength of the Black Dragon Turtle will definitely be greatly improved.
Without saying anything, Zhou Cang first spent more than 700 enhancement points to upgrade the Black Dragon Turtle's [Chain Water Cannon] skill to level 50.
More than 700 enhancement points may not seem like much, but for ordinary people, this is definitely a huge sum of money.
You should know that for a gold-level spirit beast, each skill upgrade only costs a dozen points of enhancement points, but Zhou Cang needs at least dozens of points, or even hundreds of points, each time he upgrades.
In just a few minutes, Zhou Cang consumed all the enhancement points and only had dozens of points left.
