Chapter 34 Alchemy Acquired

After walking out of Fangshi, Xiao Huaiqing explained in a chat

"The stalls in Qinghefang are divided into fixed leases and temporary leases. Fixed leases like mine cost 15 yuan of spirit stones per month, renewed every five years, and cannot be broken. Temporary leases are one spirit stone for eight hours, two You can get a land deed order in any of these ways, and there will be spot checks from time to time by the management department of the square city. If there is no land deed order, you will be expelled and fined several times the number of spirit stones.

But there are many casual cultivators who are unwilling to give out this piece of spirit stone, so they find me a fixed rental booth. If I have something to leave, I will hand over the token to him for a while, usually a piece of spirit stone for twenty hours. When you return to the booth, record the time first, and then calculate later.”

Only then did Zhao Xiuxuan nod his head.

An hour later, Zhao Xiuxuan followed Xiao Huaiqing out of the Qinghe Mountains and came to a village-like gathering place for monks. Xiao Huaiqing told him
"This place is called Ash Valley, and most of the casual cultivators who set up stalls in Qinghefang live here."

Xiao Huaiqing chatted with him about the daily life, and at the same time brought him to a wooden house with a small yard

"We have arrived"

Saying that, he opened the fence of the yard and brought Zhao Xiuxuan in.

Someone in the wooden house heard the sound and came out. It was a beautiful woman with a slanted tail, about 20 years old.

"Luo Luo, this is your cousin Zhao Xiuxuan, hurry up and meet your cousin"

Xiao Luoluo greeted quickly

"Cousin Xiuxuan"

"Cousin, you don't need to be polite." Zhao Xiuxuan saw that the aura around her was not weak, and she was also a monk. After hesitating, he took out something from the storage bag.

"When we met for the first time, my cousin gave me something, I hope my cousin will not be disgusted"

"This is!?"

Both Xiao Huaiqing and Xiao Luoluo were shocked.

What Zhao Xiuxuan took out from the storage bag was a Wind Eagle puppet in the late stage of Qi refining.

Originally, this was what he planned to give to Xiao Huaiqing as a meeting gift, but after seeing the other's daughter, he changed his mind and decided to give this puppet to Xiao Luoluo.

It's not because Xiao Luoluo is slim and beautiful, but it's because it's more suitable for this puppet to be given to Xiao Luoluo than to Xiao Huaiqing.

"puppet!"

Xiao Huaiqing, as a late-stage cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, saw at a glance that the aura fluctuations hovering over the Wind Eagle Puppet were unusual, and then checked with probing techniques, which shocked him even more.

"This is actually a puppet in the late stage of Qi refining! This thing must be very valuable, Xiuxuan, you, a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining, how can you give away such a good puppet, we can't accept it"

After Xiao Huaiqing was surprised, his face was serious, while Xiao Luoluo looked straight at the wind eagle roaring in the sky, and liked it very much in his heart. Hearing his father's refusal, he felt a little regretful but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xiuxuan had a clear understanding of this, and quickly and skillfully explained:
"Why does my uncle need to be like this? To tell you the truth, this object is not mine, but one of a batch of puppets recently refined by the Zhao family. My uncle must also know the recent difficulties of the Zhao family's Chishan Treasure Store in Qinghefang. Now, in order to solve the problem of Xuanwu Talisman, the family has turned to refining puppets, the patriarch misses uncle, and ordered me to give this puppet to uncle."

He thought that the patriarch's skin would be accepted as a gift, but he didn't expect Xiao Huaiqing's face to be a bit sad after hearing this, Zhao Xiuxuan was quite puzzled.

Xiao Huaiqing shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Xiuxuan, don't lie to me. If you say that Uncle Zhao asked you to come to me to learn alchemy, I might still believe it, but if you say that he misses me, I will never believe it. Hey, let's go into the house, Luo Luo, you Go cook a few dishes and dig out a jar of spirit peach wine buried in the back of the yard."

As he said that, he ignored the Fengying puppet and walked straight into the house.

At this time, Zhao Xiuxuan didn't know that something seemed to have happened between Xiao Huaiqing and the Zhao family, so he handed a jade slip to Xiao Luoluo's hand and said
"Cousin, don't refuse. This is the method of sacrifice and imperial emissary of the Wind Eagle Puppet. Cousin can use it after re-sacrificing according to the law."

Xiao Luoluo was taken aback by Zhao Xiuxuan's unpretentious and bold behavior, but when he saw the jade slip in his hand, he immediately smiled and said:

"Thank you cousin, Luo Luo will find you a jar of spirit peach wine with the highest buried age."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't put it down and carried the Fengying puppet to the backyard.

Zhao Xiuxuan pondered for a while outside the room, seeing that there was no voice of opposition from Xiao Huaiqing inside, he suddenly felt hesitant.

During the dinner, Xiao Huaiqing regained his amiable demeanor, and instead of explaining what happened before, he talked about alchemy to Zhao Xiuxuan.

"Xiuxuan, I read what was said in the letter, because you feel that your realm is not stable, and you can't stabilize your state of mind after repeated attempts, so you want to use alchemy to calm your mind, right?"

"Yes, Uncle"

"Then you have considered it well. This alchemy is the most important thing to sharpen your mind. It's good to learn a few hands of alchemy. We'll talk about this tomorrow. Come, have a taste of this spirit peach wine, Luo Luo, and pour it for your cousin."

Xiao Luoluo originally sat down and had a good time to eat. She glanced at Xiao Huaiqing resentfully, and then she was about to stand up and walk around the table to pour wine for Zhao Xiuxuan.

Zhao Xiuxuan quickly stopped and said
"I'll do it myself, don't bother my cousin"

As he said that, he first poured a cup for Xiao Huaiqing, and a stream of colorless nectar flowed out from the spout with a faint fragrance, and poured it into the cup.

"This spirit peach wine is made from the above-mentioned high-quality spirit peaches. The dozen or so altars in my backyard were buried in the Yellow Medicine Sect decades ago. Later, I secretly dug them out and took them away. It should be the same as before. For more than 40 years, this place where wine is buried is not unusual, it needs to be equipped with a unique spirit-gathering circle, try it."

Zhao Xiuxuan drank a cup, a wave of spiritual energy poured into his body, his internal organs suddenly became hot, and a burst of mystery rushed to the Niwan. Zhao Xiuxuan was taken aback, praised the good wine, and secretly opened the skill panel.

[Boundary: Qi Refining Level 39: 100/[-]]

Since I didn't pay too much attention to the progress of this realm before, I only know that the last time I watched it was 34, but I have practiced Xuantian Gong one after another, so I am not sure whether my realm has been improved because of this cup.

In order to verify the conjecture, he pretended to love it, spoke beautiful words, toasted to Xiao Huaiqing again and again, after pushing the cups and changing glasses, most of the wine poured into Zhao Xiuxuan's belly.

Open the skill panel again

[Boundary: Qi Refining Level 40: 100/[-]]

It has increased by another 1 point. It seems that this spirit wine will really improve the realm, but this speed is not much different from cultivation, and this wine is not easy to brew. Thinking of this, he can't help guessing that this wine brewing method, Whether it is also considered a unique skill, if so, it is worth a try.

Spiritual wine is also intoxicating for monks. Half an hour later, Xiao Huaiqing was already drunk, and he confessed something to Zhao Xiuxuan.

It turned out that more than ten years ago, when Xiao Huaiqing had no choice but to leave Huangyaozong, which was coerced by the Li family, the Zhao family had let their family of three return to Chishan. , but Xiao Huaiqing was full of indignation, determined to make a living in Qinghefang, and did not want to return to his wife's family. For this reason, he had some troubles with the Zhao family.

However, Xiao Huaiqing's alchemy skills at that time were pretty good, and he could also refine some pills for the Zhao family in Qinghefang, so everyone was on good terms, until one time, Zhao Dushu went out to pick herbs and died unexpectedly. The Zhao family blamed it on Xiao Huaiqing, thinking it was He wanted to save face and refused to accept the Zhao family's asylum, which led to Zhao Dushu's death. Since then, Xiao Huaiqing has almost lost contact with the Zhao family.

Until the appearance of Zhao Xiuxuan
"Although Uncle Zhao hasn't contacted me again these years, I know that every year, the purchasers of the Zhao family will come to my booth to buy some spirit pills, jade sage pills, etc."

After listening to Xiao Huaiqing's confession, Zhao Xiuxuan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and helped Xiao Luoluo bring the drunk Xiao Huaiqing back to the room.

The two went out, Xiao Luoluo took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhao Xiuxuan.

"Brother, you should live here today. I have already cleaned out the guest house on the left. If you want to learn alchemy, brother, you should get up early tomorrow. I have a volume of basic methods of alchemy compiled by my father. You can take it first."
