Chapter 43
On the way to Ash Valley, the more Zhao Xiuxuan thought about it, the more something went wrong. The two of Xiao Huaiqing were obviously sent by the Li family to ambush them, but they cleverly avoided the boundary of Qinghe Mountain. Obviously, the Li family did not want to make trouble in their own territory. have a bad influence.

But if this is the case, you need to keep an eye on Xiao Huaiqing's movements at all times, waiting for the moment when he is forced to leave Qingheshan.

Accumulated Gray Valley is a gathering place for casual cultivators, and the person in charge is Li, which is obviously also the property of the Li family, and it is very likely that it played a role in tipping off Xiao Huaiqing's matter.

Zhao Xiuxuan thought of the gentle appearance of the monk surnamed Li when he was renting the house. He seemed harmless to humans and animals, but he knew people and faces but didn't know his heart.

"If this is the case, I have had a lot of contact with Xiao Huaiqing in the past month, and I am afraid that there is a risk of exposure. No, I can't stay in Ash Valley."

Zhao Xiuxuan resolutely adjusted the route, bypassing the Ash Valley, and entered Qinghefang from Dahe in the west along the road that followed Jiu Bo into Fangshi.

It has to be said that Zhao Xiuxuan's sudden change of mind saved him a lot of trouble.

Ash Valley, the former Xiao Huaiqing courtyard.

The monk surnamed Li who was in charge stood in the devastated courtyard with three middle-aged monks in Tsing Yi. A group of young men in Tsing Yi turned the whole house inside out several times.

Nothing was found.

Although it was expected, but still unwilling, one of them said unhappily.

"It's ridiculous. Luo Feng brought three late-stage Qi refiners, but only one escaped back. Second brother, I have already said that this matter should be dealt with by me. You have to take care of my Qingheshan appearance. These dependent families His casual training is miscellaneous but not refined, and his spells are vulgar, making a living joke."

The man called the second brother frowned
"Fifteen, don't talk too much, do things well, did you send someone to the other yard?"

"It has been arranged. As soon as he appears, he will be arrested and interrogated to see where Xiao Huaiqing found his helper."

Bored, the speaker waved his hand for an empty wine jar, put it in his nose and smelled it
"Hey, second brother, this Xiao Huaiqing also brewed spirit wine, but he cleaned it up when he left, and didn't leave any for us."

Seeing his frivolous words, Li Chouchang looked dissatisfied

"Fifteenth, it will be the wedding ceremony of Elder Shouyun soon. At that time, all the families will gather. If you still look so frivolous, I will ask the elder to ask you to face the wall at Huoyun Cliff, so as not to damage the Li family's reputation."

"Fifteen" was sandwiched by his words, his face was as usual, still smiling nonchalantly and said

"Yes, yes, listen to the second brother."

This made Li Chouchang even more dissatisfied.

Speaking back to Zhao Xiuxuan, who had escaped a trouble unintentionally, he was thinking about where he would stay in the future. Presumably there is also a place to live.

Entering the store, his aunt Li Shuling asked him about Xiao Huaiqing's follow-up.

Zhao Xiuxuan told her the good news that he has now lived in Lingcheng Peak and intends to make alchemy for his clansmen.

Li Shuling stroked her chest and smiled lightly

"It's so good. The clan used to spend a lot of spirit stones to buy various pills that strengthen the spirit and refine the marrow. With Fellow Daoist Xiao, a lot of expenses can be saved."

Zhao Xiuxuan nodded in agreement, and turned to the business

"Auntie, after my uncle returned to the mountain, I have no place to stay. I don't know where the brothers in the store live. I still need to live in Qinghefang for a while."

Li Shuling came to the palm
"This matter is simple. I have stayed in Qinghefang for more than ten years. I have already bought a house. There is a room that is vacant. You can live with me."

Zhao Xiuxuan waved his hands
"Auntie, this is not right. I will live wherever the brothers in the shop live. How can I bother Auntie?"

"They live in a small place. I know that you need an empty space to practice alchemy with Fellow Daoist Xiao. Only mine is suitable. Don't be cautious."

What Li Shuling said is indeed reasonable, but Zhao Xiuxuan has a secret, and he still has the identity of a ghost-faced monk in Qinghefang. There are many things to deal with, and he needs an independent place to live, so he insists on refusing. Knowing that there is such a place, the price is reasonable, and it does not belong to the Li family's business.

Gravel Mountain, Falling Cloud Valley.

"Boom!"

"Cough cough!"

In a small cave filled with dust, Zhao Xiuxuan covered his mouth and nose, but still couldn't stop coughing, and the door of the cave fell to the ground because of a light push.

"Fellow daoist, don't worry, it's a small matter, I'll repair it for fellow daoist later"

A fat old man with red face and rosy nose kept smiling, afraid that Zhao Xiuxuan would change his mind seeing such a bad environment.

"Fellow daoist, don't look at this place as broken, but it is a rare clean place in the hundreds of miles around Qinghefang. It is only an hour's walk away from Qinghefang. It only takes five spirit stones for a month. Moreover, if a fellow daoist If you need food, walk along the mountain for a few miles, there is a small old village, where there are spiritual rice and spiritual beast meat, what do you think?"

Five spirit stones is not a small amount, and many casual cultivators are worth more than a dozen spirit stones.

Zhao Xiuxuan's expression remained the same, he casually looked around in the cave, and found that there was actually a patio in what looked like a cave dwelling, which was a huge stone gap dug out of the hollow mountain.

Waves of purple air irradiates from the east into the dusty cave, which has a mysterious meaning of being in harmony with the light.

This cave is very suitable.

The most appropriate thing is that he has already inquired, this is the only business in Qinghefang that is not directly controlled by the Li family, but the ancestral land of the Luoyun Valley clan.

"Fellow Daoist, you can take a fancy to this place"

The fat old man continued to solicit his business.

Zhao Xiuxuan didn't say much, took out eight pieces of spirit stones from his bosom and handed them to him

"Then according to what you said, the deposit is four yuan, a total of eight yuan."

The fat old man saw Zhao Xiuxuan's attack so straightforwardly, his nose and eyes changed when he laughed.

"Alright, alright, fellow daoist lives here, if you have anything to do, you can find me in the previous building." Then he helped Zhao Xiuxuan push the wooden door that fell to the ground, and then left with a smile.

Zhao Xiuxuan shook his head, he felt a little distressed when he remembered that he still had to return the deposit in Ash Valley, but fortunately he was still out of poverty through these two alchemy.

After purchasing the alchemy materials last time, there were only 14 spirit stones left on him. Fortunately, he killed three late Qi refining monks who ambush Xiao Huaiqing, and found 37 spirit stones on him. There are 8 spirit stones left.

Compared with the days when one or two spirit stones were dangling around in the past, it can be said to have risen several grades.

Zhao Xiuxuan cleaned the cave, walked out, and took a good look at his living place.

Luoyun Valley is shrouded in clouds, and under the light, the mist is gorgeous.

Surrounding the two sides of the valley is a cave house hidden among trees and mountains, overlooking the entire valley.

The cave was excavated on the basis of the gravel mountain, the mountain is hollow, and there is a winding mountain road from the foot of the mountain to enter it, and several small Xiuxian tribes live here.

There are spiritual fields, villages, and a scene of a paradise.

Crushed Rock Mountain used to be a mine lode

These caves that are leased and sold to the outside world are actually converted from mines.

After simply exploring the surrounding terrain, Zhao Xiuxuan was very satisfied, and then returned to the cave to start alchemy.

Seventeen days later, a ghost-faced monk came out of the cave, waved a monitor lizard puppet, and rushed towards Qinghefang.

Li Jiadan Building, back hall.

Three monks from the Li family gathered together.

The person sitting in the top position is not the beautiful woman Li Chouxuan, but Li Chouchang, the second elder brother in the Li family's family.

Li Chouxuan is the first person sitting in the next seat, and next is the frivolous fifteenth, Li Choujin.

"Second brother, do you know who rescued Xiao Huaiqing when you came this time?"

The beautiful woman Li Chouxuan sat softly on the chair, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and sipped it gracefully.

Li Chouchang nodded

"That's right, according to what Luo Feng said after recovering from his injury, the man sent two puppets, a lizard and a green eagle, and Xiao Huaiqing's daughter also had a green eagle, both of which had the aura fluctuations in the late stage of Qi refining. It is rare in Nanshan County, and these two kinds of puppets are sold in a shop in Qinghefang recently."

"Second brother means, the store opened by the Zhao family?"

Of course, Li Chouxuan was aware of the puppet in the late stage of Qi refining, which had a lot of repercussions in Fangshi recently.

"That's right, it's the shop opened by the Zhao family"

Li Chouchang showed an intriguing expression on his face.

"I didn't expect it, it's still the Zhao family who went round and round."
