Insufficient balance

  Tang Hao smiled, his previous rejection of Guo Jing's frivolity was entirely because he wasn't used to being treated that way by a man, not that he disliked Guo Jing's lust. In fact, Tang Hao was no better than Guo Jing. Tang Hao said: "Twenty spirit stones, I'll sell you a pair of underwear."

  Guo Jing heard the price and his eyes lit up, but twenty spirit stones were really too expensive. He haggled: "You're robbing me! Twenty spirit stones can buy several hundred of these. How about ten spirit stones?"

  Tang Hao didn't answer, but instead asked: "How did you become so thin?"

  Guo Jing continued eating and said casually: "I saw you went out, so I also went out to buy some things. I saw someone selling slimming pills, so I bought one."

  " Slimming Dan! And there's this thing." Tang Hao said with a playful tone, if this thing were to be sold on Earth, it would definitely sell out.

  Guo Jing sneered, "Although the Slimming Pill is not expensive for cultivators, it's a sky-high price for ordinary people. The Slimming Pill is nothing, how about the Breast Enhancement Pill? Do you want to try it?"

  ……

  After eating and drinking, Tang Huan returned the clothes, bedding, and storage bag to Guo Jing. He also exchanged some low-grade spirit stones for medium-grade ones. On the market, one medium-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a hundred low-grade ones, but no one would be so foolish as to do so. So Tang Huan used one medium-grade spirit stone to exchange for 150 low-grade spirit stones. Of course, now Tang Huan only had two pairs of underwear left and couldn't sell them to Guo Jing, leaving him with a hint of regret.

  Tang Hao went to Fu Bo's place and borrowed a piece of blue cloth, setting up a curtain with the "Old Tiger Patrols the Mountain" fabric. He was finally not afraid of being peeped at. After washing his hair for so long, it had already dried, and wearing it loose made it particularly easy to get messy. Tang Hao picked up the light green silk ribbon from the box, tied a Flowing Immortal Bun, and then used the ribbon to tie it up.

  After tying the ribbon, Tang Hao suddenly felt a kind of needle-stabbing pain in his brain, and his spiritual perception range changed from the original ten meters to five meters.

  Tang Hao was shocked, this ribbon looked ordinary, how could it be so mysterious, and hastily pulled the ribbon down.

  Tang Hao threw the ribbon to the ground and didn't dare touch it again. Fortunately, the stinging sensation disappeared, and his divine sense range returned to ten meters.

  No, it seems that my own spiritual awareness has increased slightly, is this the result of the stimulation from the ribbon? Spiritual awareness generally increases with a cultivator's cultivation, but there are also other methods to increase spiritual awareness, such as eating some spirit-boosting elixirs or practicing certain special techniques.

  Of course, there is another way, which is to sharpen one's mind in specific situations, and this ribbon is likely such an item.

  Divine consciousness is extremely precious for cultivators, and divine consciousness is the true eyes of cultivators. It can make people know in advance before danger comes, and it can also lock onto enemies thousands of miles away. Even with some special techniques, divine consciousness can take shape to directly attack or rely on powerful divine consciousness to suppress the opponent's divine consciousness, thereby controlling the opponent's physical body. If a cultivator is compared to a computer, the physical body is the hardware, and divine consciousness is the software.

  Tang Hao was delighted, this is a treasure, but why doesn't this ribbon have any array patterns on it, it's not even a magical artifact. Tang Hao suddenly remembered that Ning Yan had said before that in the world there is a kind of treasure called Pre-Heaven Spirit Object, which looks ordinary and unremarkable, but once used in the right place, it can exert its special effects. This thing can be used directly or melted into a magical artifact, making the magical artifact have special properties.

  Similarly, the sloppy man thought like Tang Hao that it was just an ordinary ribbon. Plus he was a normal man and wouldn't think of tying the ribbon around his head, so naturally he didn't know its function.

  Tang Hao felt that the sharp pain was unbearable, but it wasn't something he couldn't endure. Moreover, it could temper his divine sense, and compared to its benefits, this bit of pain was nothing.

  Tang Hao smoothed his hair again and re-tied the ribbon on his head. The stinging pain came back, but Tang Hao adapted to it for a while and slowly got used to the feeling.

  After putting on the ice silkworm clothes, Tang Hao felt refreshed and clear-headed. Although he couldn't absorb spiritual stones to cultivate, in order to see Yun Xi as soon as possible, time couldn't be wasted. Tang Hao sat down on the bed and began to circulate his internal energy, starting his cultivation.

  "Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking on the door came from outside. Tang Hao withdrew his spiritual energy. Needless to say, it was definitely Guo Jing. Who knows what he's come for this time?

  Tang Hao opened the door, and to his surprise, there was no one outside. Instead, a wooden box was placed outside with a note on it that read: "Happy Birthday."

  Tang Hao was taken aback, remembering that today was indeed his birthday. He was actually moved to tears that someone still remembered his birthday. Ever since Lin Yun Dan left, he had almost forgotten what day his birthday was, and yet Guo Jing still remembered it.

  Tang Hao opened the wooden box, inside was a jade hairpin, pure and transparent, on which seemed to be arranged an array, still very expensive.

  Tang Hao inserted the jade hairpin into his head, and his divine sense instantly recovered to ten meters. It seemed that it was an array that increased his divine sense, which just made up for the deficiency caused by the silk ribbon.

  Tang Hao glanced at Guo Jing's room, the door was tightly locked, and he couldn't help but smile. This kid really treated himself like a woman, playing hard to get.

  Tang Hao arrived at Guo Jing's door, knocked on it, and when Guo Jing opened the door, he had a helpless expression and said: "No fun, you found out. Happy birthday." Then he revealed the birthday cake behind him.

  Tang Hao smiled and said: "Don't think I'll hug you tight, at most I'll splurge on your birthday in the future."

  Guo Jing looked at him in surprise and said: "How did you know I lost a lot of money?" After that, he handed Tang Huo a bundle.

  Tang Hao was taken aback, why did he send himself something again? Tang Hao opened the cloth package, inside was a Tianying down wrapped chest, which felt soft and comfortable to wear, and had a good defensive power, the key was that it actually added an expensive defensive array.

  Guo Jing smiled and said: "I knew you were afraid of death, I saw that you had bought everything else, so I bought this too. You know what it means to give someone an undergarment."

  Tang Huo took off the jade hairpin and handed it to Guo Jing, saying: "Then who sent this?"

  Guo Jing picked up the jade hairpin and said, "It doesn't look cheap. Besides me, who else knows your birthday?"

  Tang Hao took out the box and found that there was still a piece of silk wrapped in jade hairpin inside, with a big cloud embroidered on it.

  "Yun Xi!" Tang Hao's first thought was of her. Yun Xi had said she would find a way to come down, but why hadn't she come to see him? Was she afraid that her sister would take action against him?

  Tang Huo rushed out of the inn, where people were coming and going, but Yun Xi's figure was nowhere to be seen. Tang Huo shouted loudly: "Yun Xi, I know you're here, why don't you come see me? I miss you so much!"

  There was no answer, only a white figure flashed across the roof of the inn like a meteor, her body emitting a special mist that made it impossible to see her face, and with her extremely fast speed, she disappeared in an instant.

  Tang Hao wanted to chase after her, but this speed was not something he could catch up with. Tang Hao didn't know why Yun Xi didn't see him, but she must have had her own reasons. Perhaps it was because he wasn't strong enough, couldn't even protect himself, let alone his happiness.

  Tang Hao returned to Guo Jing's room, and Guo Jing asked: "Who is Yun Xi?"

  "He was the most important person in my life."

  "Does she look pretty?" Guo Jing couldn't ask any other questions.

  Tang Hao replied: "Can a fairy be ugly?"

  "Cut it out, the fairy will take a liking to you, this freak." Guo Jing said disdainfully.

  Tang Hao's face instantly elongated, he hated it the most when others called him a shemale, counterattacking: "Better than you this homosexual."

  Kuang Jing was stunned, it seemed that this was a knot in his heart, and he would definitely meet Ye Peng again later. He really didn't know what to do, so Kuang Jing could only admit defeat: "Okay, stop it, let's both take a step back. What do you think of this birthday cake?"

  Tang Hao looked at the cake, which was poorly made by hand, but it had great significance to him. At the most lonely and helpless time in his life, there were still Yun Xi and Guo Jing accompanying him. However, Tang Hao had just finished eating dinner and couldn't eat anymore, so he said: "It's so big, how can I finish it?"

  Guo Jing smiled slyly and said, "It's not for eating."

  Tang Hao's face was inexplicable, and he said, "What's the use of not eating?"

  Tang Hao revealed a sly smile and inserted twenty-four candles into the cake, saying: "It's for making wishes."

  Tang Hao couldn't believe in making wishes, but he knew that this was Guo Jing's way of blessing himself, and he couldn't refuse.

  Tang Hao said to the candle: "I wish those who care about me will always be happy and safe." Although Tang Hao has great ambitions, he knows that when he is poor, he can only take care of himself, and when he is successful, he can help others. With his current abilities, this is all he can aim for.

  Tang Hao finished speaking, blew out the candle, although he didn't believe in making wishes, but he sincerely hoped that his wish would come true. Before Tang Hao could react, a large hand covered his head and directly pressed his face into the cake.

  "Haha, revenge is sweet! I told you, this cake isn't for eating." After that, he ran away like a rabbit.

  "Guo Jing, stop right there."
