Yan Feiyue found an evergreen oleifera vine in the collection room. She lifted the small green branch and waved it in front of the officials and Tongtong, and everyone understood her intention. The vines can be used to upgrade the redbud vines of Godson.
Qi Guanyu found five pieces of thousand-year black iron, which could be used to upgrade Shen Tu Qi's natal spiritual sword.
He has not forgotten that when he was in the modern continent, he, Shen Tuqi, and Longxin all needed the Millennium Black Iron, but Shen Tuqi never proposed upgrading his natal spiritual sword for the sake of the overall situation.
Doesn't he want to? He can't.
Therefore, now that conditions are met, the partner's wishes must still be fulfilled.
Yan Feiyue had no choice when she arrived. First of all, she hadn't seen much of the market, and she didn't know many magic weapons and spiritual treasures. Secondly, she hadn't participated in any serious battles, so she didn't have much demand for magic weapons. Showed; in the end, she is actually a person with very low materialistic desires, and would rather lack than live in excess.
After the three selected, they returned to the same route without disturbing Xia Hourong. Tong Yi went back to her room to study medical books and pharmacopeias, while Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu slept together.
The next day, Tong Yi did not leave her room. For lunch, Yan Feiyue brought in a bowl of spiritual fruit porridge and some freshly picked spiritual fruits, and then quietly left.
Qi Guanyu invited the old housekeeper to the study to prepare for a conversation.
As soon as he entered the study, the old housekeeper bowed to Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue, and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Biao and Mr. Madam."
Yan Feiyue didn't expect that the housekeeper would salute her, so she quickly said: "No need to be polite, old housekeeper."
"Old steward, please tell me about the situation in the mansion!" Qi Guanyu said.
"Yes, I am the concubine of the old family head. Since the current head of the family succeeded to the throne, I was automatically classified as a side branch. Ten years ago, the main branch suffered a disaster, and the side branch was naturally not spared. Our side branch returned to the main house.
Unexpectedly, thieves were rampant, the head of the family was killed, and a group of servants were eliminated from the family. We, the old guys who were still able to move, filled these vacancies in order to protect the foundation of the Xiahou family.
Over the years, we have obviously been doing the job of servants, but in fact we have been dealing with the Ling family's undercover people in the Xiahou family; and then we have sent out young people with potential and ability to experience, so as to continue the inheritance of the Xiahou family. "Butler Xiahou told the bitterness of these years. He has his wife and children, but they only separated ten years ago and have not seen each other for many years.
"I've met my uncle -" Qi Guanyu said and stood up to salute. Relatives and servants are different. Even if they are a side branch, they still have status in the master's family.
"You are so polite, Master."
How could Butler Xiahou dare to accept this gift? He was a genius among the big families in the Inner Continent, a status that they and other members of the middle family could never hope to achieve in their entire lives! If it weren't for a promising aunt in the family, how could the Xiahou family be as decent as it is now?
"Uncle, how many children are there in the family?" It's not surprising that Qi Guanyu asked, because there are really too few people in this house now.
"In the great reshuffle ten years ago, the head of the family took the initiative and divided all the monks in the Xiahou family into three groups. One group had different intentions and wanted to seek better development, and was allowed to leave the family and find another way out; the other group was the mainstay of the family. , as the hidden force of the family, were separated into singles; the last remaining group either held important positions in the house or were practicing outside.
There are a total of 190 people in the second and third groups. Among them, the leader of the second group has the highest cultivation level, which is the ninth level of Jindan. The leader of the third group is the eighth level of Jindan. Ten years later, the leader of the group will For example, these two monks should be able to break through the Nascent Soul. "
"So, the situation of the Xiahou family is far less bad than what the outside world has reported -" Yan Feiyue knew that the Ling family, which ranked third among the 20 middle schools, only had three Nascent Soul monks. There are already two reserves.
According to this situation, the Xiahou family's family ranking will be compared in ten years. Even if the current head of the family cannot go to the battle, there will still be two Nascent Soul monks who can provide backup. In this way, no matter what, the family can maintain its position as a member of the Twenty Middle School.
"Those messages were posted by people with good intentions, with the intention of instigating some small families to pursue and intercept the monks of the Xiahou family, so as to weaken our strength and launch a challenge to the Xiahou family in the outer continent ranking competition ten years later." Butler Xiahou I feel very angry when I mention this matter, but I can't clarify it, otherwise it will increase the risk of exposing my trump card.
"I see, Grandpa Xiahou, don't worry. In the family ranking competition ten years later, the Xiahou family will definitely have more than two Nascent Soul monks." As soon as Yan Feiyue finished speaking, she felt the power from Qi Guanyu.
Butler Xiahou became energetic the moment the Wire spread. This feeling was indeed similar to the Wire in the Nascent Soul stage of the Patriarch. Although it was not as strong as the Wire exuded by the Patriarch, it was not much different.
How can this not make people happy! The rise of the Xiahou family is not far away.
"Uncle, please collect the latest information about the Ling family and find something for them to do so that we can have more breathing space." Qi Guanyu looked at Butler Xiahou and said meaningfully.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Yan Feiyue looked at the back of Butler Xiahou who left briskly and said, "Guan Guan, do you have any ideas?"
"Wait until the information that uncle has checked arrives, and we will take a look at the situation before making a decision." Qi Guanyu put his arms around Yan Feiyue's waist. The two of them looked at the flying flowers falling outside the window, and there was always a feeling that the outer continent would not be peaceful for long.
It was two more days of silence, and Yan Feiyue sent Tong Yi spiritual fruit porridge and spiritual fruits as usual. In fact, Qi Guanyu only knew how to make spiritual fruit porridge, so he could only do this every day.
"Why is it Lingguo porridge again? I want Suwen -" Even though Tong Yi saw the word embarrassment on A Yue's face, she still expressed her feelings without reservation.
"I'm a little envious of Xinxin and Shentu -" Yan Feiyue sat at the desk, a little discouraged. Not everyone has the talent for cooking.
"..." Tong Yi silently picked up the spoon and drank the porridge, acquiescing to Yan Feiyue's envy.
"Tongtong, this is the first time in the past three days that you have time to talk to me. Has the Xiahou family master's illness progressed?" Yan Feiyue felt that this was the key.
"There is some progress, but we still need to discuss it with Senior Xiahou." Tong Yi pointed to the books spread out on the table and said uncertainly.
"Then let's go to the basement tonight, and I'll contact the housekeeper later." Yan Feiyue felt that progress would be good, and two experienced alchemists were better than working alone.
At midnight, there was still only the sound of leaves falling to the ground. Qi Guanyu, Yan Feiyue, and Tong Yi followed Butler Xiahou and entered the underground collection room in twists and turns.
"You said that if my current Yin deficiency syndrome cannot be relieved, my temper will become more and more violent, and I will gradually lose my mind, until my five hearts will become hot and burn me alive -" Xia Hourong looked at Tong Yi and spoke word by word. repeated.
"Not sure, it's been ten years, but the senior has no obvious symptoms of yin deficiency. Looking at the yin meridians of the senior, your symptoms should be that the five hearts have started to heat up. Even if you have cultivation to suppress it, you have a bad temper. There should be some, but judging from the senior's face, he is just getting weaker and does not appear to be irritable-" Tong Yi told the truth.
When Xia Hourong heard this, he thought for a long time and said, "If you hadn't come here, I would have entered the irritable period——"
"What do you say?" Qi Guanyu quickly asked with concern.
"Perhaps your arrival has made me feel a lot better. Some time ago, I was really upset and wanted to get angry," Xia Hourong said.
"In this way, yin deficiency and yang excess are indeed a symptom, but what are the causes of physical weakness, aging, and blocked meridians?" Tong Yi was really asking the Xiahou family head, and also herself.
"It's not urgent. We can treat the current symptoms and see the results before making a conclusion." Xia Hourong had some thoughts about his illness before, but he couldn't give it a try. Now that he has such a capable junior, he You can trust me with confidence.
"Yes, after this junior returns, he will refine some elixirs that can replenish yin and warm yang." Tong Yi was already thinking about which spiritual implant medicines should be used.
"What spiritual medicinal materials are you planning to use?" Xia Hourong asked with interest.
This was a test of knowledge, and both Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu could tell.
"A six-hundred-year-old fourth-level spiritual herb: Euonymus, which has the effect of unblocking meridians; Acanthopanax bark, which has a wonderful fragrance, nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens muscles and bones, and can replenish fatigue.
Five-hundred-year-old third-level spiritual herbs: Qucao, which clears away heat and detoxifies, and delays aging; Thunder Pill, which dissipates heat evil in the stomach; Heather, which nourishes kidney qi, removes accumulation, and eliminates wind paralysis. "Tong Yi said everything she could think of.
Xia Hourong listened to the announcement of the spiritual grasses one after another. He nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Do you want to add some magnets?"
Tong Yi suddenly realized it and simply said: "It should be added! Magnet is the perfect supplement to men's yin deficiency."
"Yes, both prescriptions are made by alchemists after many refining studies based on the symptoms. Don't just stick to spiritual herbs. Using spiritual ores and spiritual beasts as medicines often has the effect of providing help in times of need. It is better than blindly using only spiritual herbs. The grass is the icing on the cake." It was rare for Xia Hourong to meet a junior who knew all about magical medicinal materials, so he couldn't help but teach him a few more words.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I will remember it, junior." Tong Yi said sincerely.
Because spiritual ores and spiritual beasts are scarce in the modern continent, coupled with the limitations of alchemy conditions, most of the alchemy knowledge she dabbles in is spiritual grass. Even if she uses spiritual stones, she only follows the script, so she has many knowledge about spiritual beasts and spiritual ores. Omissions, now that she has realized the shortcomings, she will have new efforts in the future.
Xia Hourong waved his hand and sent a few people back. Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu were auditors for the whole night and came back without saying a word.
