65: The remaining two upgrade pills

"Are you looking for Yunying? She went out early this morning. You must be her friends, right? Come in and sit down."

Mother Ge was very enthusiastic. She knew Ge Yunying had made friends outside. Although she was blind, she could sense that the two young men outside had no ill intentions.

"Elder, you are..."

Wang Yi and Feng Zhi walked in, both noticing Mother Ge's eyes.

Her eyes were open, but her pupils were extremely cloudy, a grayish-white, and seemed to lack focus when looking at things.

"Oh, me? I'm Yunying's mother. Yunying mentioned her friends to me a few days ago. I think one was called... Wang Yi, and the other was Feng something? My memory isn't very good."

Is that Ge Yunying's... mother?

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Wang Yi's heart.

So Yunying's family was so poor, relying on her blind mother, and she had to train so hard every day... Compared to her, Wang Yi felt a little ashamed.

He used to only know that Ge Yunying was smart and quick-witted, which he couldn't match, but his Beast Tamer talent was high, so he could at least protect her.

But now, he found that Ge Yunying's character was also very strong; not only did she often have to venture into the forest, but she also had to care for her ailing widowed mother. In terms of mental fortitude, he was also inferior to her.

"Yes, we are Yunying's friends. Auntie, do you know where she went?" Wang Yi asked.

Mother Ge shook her head: "That, I don't know."

"It's okay, thank you, Auntie. We have other things to do, so we won't..."

Feng Zhi was about to say they wouldn't bother her, but Wang Yi stopped him: "Auntie, we actually don't have anything to do right now."

"Alright, alright, come in." Mother Ge was very happy, because Ge Yunying never brought friends into the house.

Feng Zhi was puzzled. What did Wang Yi mean by this?

Weren't they out to catch the train?

Sigh, men in love, he really didn't understand.

Inside the house, Mother Ge wanted to make them tea. Wang Yi quickly said, "Auntie, no need to trouble yourself, we can do it."

Wang Yi then made tea himself and poured a cup for Mother Ge.

"Good, good, good, you are all good children." Although Mother Ge couldn't see clearly, she was very pleased.

Wang Yi was very well-behaved: "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."

Feng Zhi: "..."

Damn it, Wang Yi, can you not be like this? You're making me look so dull.

However, Feng Zhi had no intention of stealing the spotlight. Since Wang Yi liked Ge Yunying, he would just act as a background.

Anyway, he just wanted to cultivate well; cultivation was his top priority in this life.

As for dating, it had nothing to do with him.

Mother Ge seemed to like Wang Yi very much, pulling him aside to chat for a while, and the topics all revolved around Ge Yunying.

Mother Ge said that Ge Yunying had been very strong-willed since childhood, and it was not easy for a girl to venture out while also taking care of her old mother.

Wang Yi kept praising Ge Yunying, saying she was beautiful and strong, which made Mother Ge very happy.

When they were about to leave, Mother Ge even specially saw them to the door and wanted to give them some home-grown vegetables to take back. Wang Yi quickly refused, saying they still had things to do and needed to leave quickly, so they wouldn't take anything.

Feng Zhi watched all these events unfold from the side, not interjecting, only occasionally responding with a word or two when Wang Yi prompted him.

It was precisely because of this that Feng Zhi clearly saw Wang Yi secretly tuck some spirit stone vouchers under Mother Ge's cushion.

Spirit stone vouchers were paper currency obtained by depositing spirit stones in the Wall's silver house, equivalent to ancient banknotes, and could be directly used as spirit stones.

Each spirit stone voucher Wang Yi tucked had a face value of fifty low-grade spirit stones, and there were ten in total.

He was afraid that if he put too much, Ge Yunying would be unwilling to accept it. Five hundred spirit stones was neither too much nor too little; it could cover four train rides.

Normally, Wang Yi would also pay for the train tickets for both Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi, so Wang Yi believed that even if Ge Yunying discovered it, she wouldn't insist on returning it to him.

He actually only wanted to pay for Ge Yunying's train ticket, but he was afraid Ge Yunying would be unwilling, so he simply paid for Feng Zhi's share as well.

Feng Zhi: Am I easy? It's clearly a story of three people, yet I can never have a name.

"Let's go, let's find the train." Wang Yi didn't know that Feng Zhi had already figured it out, but even if he had seen it, Wang Yi wouldn't have been embarrassed.

After all, liking someone is something you can't hide.

"Mm." Feng Zhi pretended not to notice... On the other side, Little Ice Fox and Ximen Chuifeng had already disembarked when it was time for their ride. Ximen Chuifeng originally wanted to ask Little Ice Fox a few more questions, but Little Ice Fox simply ignored him and quickly ran off after jumping off the train.

Ximen Chuifeng then went back, not idle on the way, and inquired about some things from the ants.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, quickly welcomed other passengers.

Xiong Mao had prepared his spirit stones early. Ever since he discovered the benefits of cultivating on the train, he felt the train ticket price was truly worth it.

Hmph, once he cultivated on the train for a long time and his strength increased, he'd see how Bao Hui would still contend with him for the gang leader position.

Isn't he just relying on his ability to win people over?

It's not like Xiong Mao doesn't have supporters behind him.

Always being so insincere, it's truly unbearable to watch.

After wandering in the forest for a while, Xiong Mao spotted the tin train.

"Wait!"

He quickly ran over and strode onto the train. This time, without Lin Feng's reminder, he took out the spirit stones himself first.

One hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones for one train ticket.

"Welcome aboard this train, please sit tight and hold on."

Lin Feng was still very happy to have another regular passenger, but there were only two Advancement Pills left, and he didn't know how to sell them.

Little Ice Fox was already at the third tier and could no longer use Advancement Pills. Ximen Chuifeng had just bought an Advancement Pill from him, and he would probably use it upon returning. At that time, his contracted fierce beast would also advance to the third tier, making it unable to use the pill again.

Who else could he sell them to?

Xiong Mao?

But he wasn't a Beast Tamer!

The first time Xiong Mao boarded the train, Lin Feng had used his Eye of Truth to check Xiong Mao's life story and learned that he was a Level 5 Martial Artist, not a Beast Tamer.

However, in order to sell the remaining Advancement Pills as quickly as possible, he still asked:

"Do you need to buy elixirs? Currently, only two Advancement Pills are left in stock, first come, first served!"

Xiong Mao, who was cultivating, was startled by the sudden pop-up text, and then he carefully read the content.

"Advancement Pill?" Xiong Mao wondered, "What is that?"

He didn't know that Advancement Pills could upgrade fierce beasts. If Lin Feng had said Sheng Wu Dan, his reaction wouldn't have been this.

"The Advancement Pill, when consumed, can raise a fierce beast below the third tier by one tier. Price: two thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Two thousand spirit stones!

Xiong Mao was surprised.

Oh, no, it didn't matter to him how much it cost. He wasn't a fierce beast, nor was he a Beast Tamer.
