Chapter 43: Spirit Detective Stick
Before he knew it, Li Xiaolang was pulled in by a enthusiastic store owner.
Looking at the wide range of goods in the grocery store, Li Xiaolang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of things in this grocery store, which looked small.
Looking at the various things on the cabinet, Li Xiaolang asked casually: "Store, how long has your groceries been put on? I don't seem to have seen them before?"
Seeing that a customer finally arrived, the bald old man opened with a smile: "This store just opened a few days ago!"
"No wonder I didn't have any impression before..."
After staying in Hongshuicheng for so many years, the unique shops have basically been imprinted in his mind. This seemingly ordinary grocery store actually has a "cultivator zone". If I knew about it before, I would definitely be impressed.
I glanced at the sight cabinet, and the things placed on it were just some daily necessities.
After a pause, Li Xiaolang went straight to the topic.
"What good things are there in the store, the cultivator's area?"
Seeing that the customer was interested in buying supplies for cultivators, the bald old man smiled even happier, and the folds on his face were stacked like gullies.
"Come on, please come here!"
The bald old man walked to the sign of the "Cultivator Zone", opened the curtain, and signaled Li Xiaolang to go in with him.
Li Xiaolang nodded, followed him in, thinking while walking.
——Ordinary grocery shops naturally cannot create a "cultivator zone". Thinking about it, this bald old man still has some means!
After entering the "Cultivator Zone", Li Xiaolang smiled awkwardly.
"Are these products for cultivators?"
Looking at the things that were carefully protected, Li Xiaolang was a little disappointed. He thought it would be bright and magnificent inside, but he didn't expect that it was not only not bright, but also a little dark.
Looking at the boxes on the cabinets that looked ordinary, Li Xiaolang couldn't help but feel confused and asked, "Why don't these things look very powerful?"
The bald old man smiled meaningfully: "These things are amazing!"
"But……"
Since it is a special area for cultivators, the things inside must have extraordinary effects. However, cultivators should not use these ordinary things...
Li Xiaolang suddenly realized something, and his pupils shrank suddenly. He turned his head and looked at these things carefully again.
"Could it be!"
Looking at the surprised Li Xiaolang, the bald old man smiled.
"Hehe, that's right! These things... can be used by mortals!"
You should know that all the items of cultivators need to be injected with spiritual power before they can be used. Even if mortals have the items of cultivators, they naturally cannot control them without spiritual power.
"Then... are there any magic weapons for cultivators here??"
Thinking of this possibility, Li Xiaolang's eyes seemed to be shining, and even his voice began to tremble due to excitement.
"No."
Li Xiaolang: “…”
The words "simple and rough" seem to be very honest.
The bald old man said slowly with his hands behind his back: "The things here are all gadgets. Although cultivators don't like it, they are of great use to mortals!"
His eyes swept the cabinet, then stretched out his hand and opened a box, and picked up two ordinary-looking jade pendants from it: "For example, look at these two jade pendants, they do not require any spiritual power, and mortals can also use it!"
"Oh? Without spiritual power, how should mortals use it?"
"This jade pendant is called 'Same Life and Death'. One piece is broken, and the other piece will automatically crack. As for how to use it... you just need to throw it to the ground, and the other side will crack directly."
Li Xiaolang nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that this jade pendant could be used to notify emergency situations.
"Can you only use it once? It's a pity."
"Of course we can only use it once! Young people, we are all just mortals, just be content if we can use it!"
Li Xiaolang's mouth twitched. He was already middle-aged. He didn't expect that he would be called "young man". However, it seems that the old man is indeed quite old. It seems that there is no problem calling himself "young man".
The bald old man smiled, put down his jade pendant, and signaled Li Xiaolang to take a look at other things.
After knowing that these things are extraordinary, Li Xiaolang's eyes became a little solemn when he looked at them. Although cultivators do not look down on these things, they are very practical for mortals!
"What's this?"
Li Xiaolang's eyes were suddenly attracted by a "fire-burning stick", which was placed randomly in the corner without even a serious position.
——Since it has been placed in the "cultivator zone", Li Xiaolang does not think it is just an ordinary fire stick.
The bald old man tidied up the box without twisting his head, and replied casually: "Oh that stick... you'll know if you use it and hit it."
"Test yourself?"
Li Xiaolang was a little confused, bent down and picked up the stick, and waved it casually.
The stick is not heavy. Li Xiaolang waved it for a moment and frowned. He felt that the quality of the stick was not very good, and it was not even harder than ordinary wooden sticks.
Confused, Li Xiaolang tapped himself gently. Under his surprised gaze, the stick gradually flashed with a faint black light.
The bald old man was still tidying up the cabinet and did not pay attention to the movement here: "Just hit yourself gently, don't have to force too much. Because you are a mortal, it won't shine..."
After placing one box after another, and rubbing the dust from several places, the old man nodded with satisfaction:
"It's still neat and clean, it makes people feel comfortable! So, you want to buy..."
He turned his head and suddenly became stunned, his eyes wide open.
"you……"
The bald old man trembled and pointed his index finger at Li Xiaolang, breathing rapidly.
Li Xiaolang looked shocked. He lowered his head and looked at the shiny stick, turned over and looked at the old man in surprise, and asked curiously:
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Under his surprised gaze, the old man who had been a few decades older than him actually bowed directly!
——"I have no intention of offending the Supreme Immortal before! I hope the Supreme Immortal will forgive me!"
...
"Shopkeeper, I'm really not a cultivator!"
Li Xiaolang was very puzzled and stretched out his hand to help the old bald man bowing, but the old bald man still refused to stand up.
"Think about it, if I were really a cultivator, why would I come to your shop? I would definitely go to Zhenbao Pavilion!"
After explaining for a while, the bald old man straightened up half-believingly, with a puzzled face: "But the spirit-detecting stick does shine. How could you be a mortal?"
"I am indeed just a mortal, and I haven't lie to you!"
"Impossible..."
Waving the stick with a faint black light in his hand, Li Xiaolang asked in confusion: "Tell me clearly, what is this stick?"
The bald old man looked at Li Xiaolang carefully and said slowly: "This stick is called the Spirit-Surveying Stick, which is used to detect spiritual roots. If there are spiritual roots in the human body, it will shine directly!... I see your age. If there are spiritual roots, you will definitely become a cultivator."
Li Xiaolang laughed: "Ha? What do you mean is I have spiritual roots? Stop making trouble! I tested it when I was a child, and there was no spiritual roots in my body at all."
Joke, if I have spiritual roots, I will still rely on setting up a stall to find that enemy?...If I have spiritual roots, I will fly to the sky and escape to find him to take revenge after practicing!
Li Xiaolang shook his head helplessly, thinking that something must be wrong with the stick.
The bald old man continued to stare at Li Xiaolang, very confused: "Since the stick shines, it means you must have spiritual roots... Are you sure you don't have spiritual roots?"
"Haha, I really don't."
The bald old man was silent and fell into deep thought.
"How can the spirit-exploring stick shine? Since the spirit-exploring stick shines, then there must be spiritual roots in your body..."
The old man paused and suddenly realized: "Can it be..."
"Could it be something?"
The bald old man looked at him deeply and expressed his guess.
"Can you be robbed of your spiritual roots by someone?"
