Chapter 33 Xiao Huaiqing

West city
Heptagon
This is a spread out location.

Zhao Xiuxuan, carrying Zhao Lingting's letter in his arms, did not rush straight to the destination, but walked casually in Qinghefang, feeling the atmosphere in the square.

He lingered enthusiastically at the stalls sitting on the ground, "Pillions, talismans, magic tools, these are finished products, ores, spirit grass, talisman paper, monster blood, monster skin, these are the basic materials, of which the spirit The proportion of grass is particularly large, and there are various first-order spiritual grasses."

"It seems that this Qinghefang is indeed the right place, and the alchemy materials here are all complete."

A casual cultivator dressed in gray and autumn saw Zhao Xiuxuan's eyes wandering around the several decades-old spirit grasses placed in his booth, and enthusiastically peddled them.

"Fellow Daoist, I have the best gray snake powder, yuyelan, purple heart vine, and bitter wood fern, all of which are more than 30 years old. See if you need anything."

Zhao Xiuxuan originally planned to leave, but when he saw several bottles of pills on the booth of this person turned back, he asked humbly
"Friend Daoist, I don't ask for spiritual herbs, but I would like to ask, if I want to buy a book of alchemy, where can I buy it?"

The cultivator who set up the stall lost interest when he heard that Zhao Xiuxuan didn't want to buy spirit herbs, but wanted to buy alchemy methods, so he waved his hands and said

"That fellow Taoist is in the wrong place. Many alchemists have passed down their methods, and non-disciples will not teach them. Don't look at there are many alchemists in Qinghefang. If you ask them to buy alchemy methods, no one will pay any attention to them. If you have a hot temper, you will think you are entertaining him. I think fellow Taoist is young, so I would like to advise you a few more words."

This alchemy method is so secret, and it is not too much beyond Zhao Xiuxuan's estimate, so there is only one way, and that is to find the person the patriarch said.

Zhao Xiuxuan bowed to the casual cultivator who warned him
"Thank you"

Then leave.

After turning around again, he found the stall of Bingzi Gengkui. Normally, the stalls are mobile, but there are also some monks who cannot afford to rent independent shops and have rented a fixed stall for a long time. Booth location.

Most of these people have an identity in Qinghefang, that is, a first-rank alchemist.

Some of these alchemists came from various aristocratic families and sects in Nanshan County, and a small number of them were casual cultivators. They set up stalls in Qinghefang to sell the elixir they refined in exchange for spirit stones.

Alchemist is a popular craft, but it is also difficult to get started. It is limited by inheritance, the cost of cultivation, the probability of alchemy, etc. Therefore, there are not many alchemists in the entire world of cultivating immortals in Nanshan County, not more than a thousand. Compared with hundreds of thousands or millions of monks, it is absolutely scarce.

Xiao Huaiqing originally came from a small sect of 30 people called the Huang Yao Sect. He himself was a high-spirited young sect master. The Huang Yao Sect relies on the inherited alchemy skills and has no worries about training resources every year. The only shortcoming is that the sect has no foundation. Cultivator, later, Huang Yaozong was annexed by the Li family of Qinghe Mountain, and they became a subordinate branch of the Li family, refining alchemy for the Li family day and night.

Not only that, but Xiao Huaiqing had many disagreements with the deacons and elders sent by the Li family, and was blindly bullied and suppressed. The Xiao Huaiqing and his wife, who were already full of grief and indignation, left Huang Yaozong with their daughter Xiao Luoluo more than ten years ago and became casual cultivators. A family of three Relying on the skill of alchemy, earning a living in Qinghefang, it can be regarded as a happy life.

Zhao Xiuxuan looked at a middle-aged man in yellow clothes with a pale face in front of him. On the booth in front of him were bottles of pills and a few spiritual herbs exuding spiritual energy. He was not sure if he was the person he was looking for. .

So tentatively asked

"Dare to ask, but Xiao Huaiqing is Uncle Xiao"

Xiao Huaiqing was carefully arranging some spirit herbs that had been placed on the booth for a long time, when he heard someone call him "Uncle Xiao"

Looking up at the speaker in surprise, he saw a young monk standing in front of him with an unfamiliar face, and he was even more puzzled

"I'm Xiao Huaiqing, I don't know who your friend is"

Seeing that his identity was confirmed, Zhao Xiuxuan took out Zhao Lingting's letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Uncle Xiao, this is Zhao Xiuxuan, from the Zhao family in Chishan. This is a letter from the patriarch grandfather who asked me to hand it to you."

When Xiao Huaiqing heard that Zhao Xiuxuan was from the Zhao family in Chishan, his brows froze for a moment, then he picked up the letter and took a brief look at it. Seeing the inscription Zhao Lingting, he let out a long breath, with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"It turned out to be Uncle Zhao's grandson and descendant. I haven't visited Chishan for a long time. I don't know how Uncle Zhao is in good health."

Zhao Xiuxuan said with a smile

"The longevity of the family is not old, and the spirit is hale and hearty. This time."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by an old voice

"Xiao Huaiqing, when will the old man's twenty bottles of Qige Dan be handed over to me?"

The person who spoke was an old man with a red face and a wine-grooved nose, dressed in purple and brocade, full of anger.

Xiao Huaiqing didn't have time to talk to Zhao Xiuxuan, so he hurried across the booth and walked to the front, clasping his hands to appease the humane

"Excuse me, Mr. Luo, please forgive me for another month. The Qige Dan you want is not an ordinary first-level elixir, and it is extremely difficult to refine."

"Leave you another month!? You agreed to hand over the alchemy within three months, but now it's been three and a half months, and you still want to give you another month. Since you know that refining is not easy, when you received half of the deposit from me, you will give me another month." Don't you know, I just saw that you, Xiao Huaiqing, had been working in Qinghefang for more than ten years before I asked you to refine it, but now that it's past the time to collect pills, you keep pushing back and forth, aren't you afraid of smashing your only little signboard?"

The old man was merciless and cursed loudly, causing the monks who came to play around to cast strange glances, and the colleagues gloated and looked lively.

Xiao Huaiqing kept complaining in his heart, but he was really rude first, so he could only apologize again and again, and gave the old man the eight bottles of Qige Dan that had been refined from the storage bag on his waist, and promised to give the remaining twelve bottles within a month. The bottle is refined well.

Only then did the old man leave cursing.

Xiao Huaiqing rubbed the sweat on his forehead, looked at the whispering monks around, sighed, and simply packed up the pills on the booth, and said to Zhao Xiuxuan, who was just watching
"Uh, nephew Xiuxuan, my wife Zhao Dushu is also from the Zhao family in Chishan. Not many people know about this matter. Presumably the patriarch did not tell you about it before you left the mountain. I already know what Uncle Zhao said in his letter. , there are too many people here, I will talk about it when I get home.”

Zhao Xiuxuan was slightly stunned, he really didn't know about this matter, he had the impression that Zhao Dushu was from the lineage of Seventh Grandpa Zhao Linglou, and in terms of seniority in the immortal genealogy, he should be called Ninth Aunt, as if she married her a long time ago. Chi Shan turned out to be the person in front of him, now that he was clearly a family member, he immediately felt very cordial, and quickly cupped his hands and said to Xiao Huaiqing.

"I never thought it was uncle, my nephew was rude"

When Xiao Huaiqing heard his uncle's name, his body shook slightly, then he calmly packed up the bottles and cans on the stall, and waved to him
"No need to be too polite, just wait a moment, take me to pack my things, and we will go home"

Xiao Huaiqing had a storage bag, and Zhao Xiuxuan didn't need the help of these things. He could only watch from the sidelines. After a while, Xiao Huaiqing was about to leave after packing up, when a person appeared from nowhere, a familiar partner Xiao Huaiqing narrowed his eyes and smiled

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you have closed the stall again."

Xiao Huaiqing took out a sign from his arms and handed it to Rendao

"Yes, there is something at home, please help take care of my booth."

The visitor took the sign and skillfully sent a low-grade spirit stone to Xiao Huaiqing's sleeve

"Alright, fellow Daoist Xiao, don't worry."

This scene made Zhao Xiuxuan a little puzzled.
