Haishi.
The night is not too dark yet.
It's just that the snow is falling so heavily that there are no pedestrians in the narrow rain alley.
Most of the monks living here hide in narrow rooms to practice.
Qiu Zhihe bit her lips lightly, enduring the pain caused by the ice and fire in her body. She adjusted her breathing for a moment and finally returned to normal.
She didn't dare to be willful tonight and suppressed her skills every time.
Xuan Bingli's fire skill is too domineering, even if she doesn't control it well, it will be backfired. If Qin Gengyun's foundation is really seriously injured, it will be troublesome.
In comparison, I only feel short-term pain after each time, which is nothing.
Yes, Qiu Zhihe has decided that she will suppress her skills every time in the future.
Just think that you have deceived him, used him as a tool for dual cultivation, and may even involve him in danger in the future to compensate for it.
Why did I grow longer tonight?
After Qiu Zhihe's death, Qin Gengyun looked confused.
Obviously he only had 40 breaths last night, why did he change back to 50 breaths tonight?
Moreover, I always feel that the ice and fire in Qiu Zhihe's body has weakened a bit tonight.
Is it my imagination?
Qin Gengyun shook his head, knowing that even if he asked Qiu Zhihe, she would not answer, so he suppressed his questions for the time being and called up the attribute panel.
[Name: Qin Gengyun]
【Lifespan: 35/40】
[Cultivation: third level of Qi training, 140/500]
[Skill: First-level Alchemist, 113/200]
[Spiritual roots: middle-grade fire-type spiritual roots (80/1000), medium-grade ice-type spiritual roots (87/1000)]
[Available practice points: 15]
Qin Gengyun added 15 points to [Cultivation], and the attribute panel changed:
[Cultivation: third level of Qi training, 155/500]
There are still 345 points left. If you can increase 27 points every day, it will take 14 days to reach the fourth level of Qi training.
However, there are only five pieces of spiritual marrow left. Tomorrow, I will go to the Xianbao Pavilion to buy another sixty pieces of spiritual marrow. After that, I will practice behind closed doors and will not go out until the fourth level of Qi training.
By the way, if you buy 60 pieces of spiritual essence, the eight hundred or so spiritual stones you earned in the past few days will basically be spent. Tomorrow, you will have to ask Daoist Qiu whether he has enough spiritual stones at home.
She has to buy groceries every day and cultivate spiritual herbs, which also costs money.
After thinking for a while, Qin Gengyun looked back at his wife beside him.
It feels so good to have someone by my side every night.
He felt warm in his heart and fell asleep unconsciously.
...
The next day.
When Qin Gengyun woke up, Qiu Zhihe had already gone out.
There was still a sumptuous breakfast on the table, and there was still a note with beautiful handwriting:
"I'm going to buy groceries."
Qin Gengyun put the note in his arms. After breakfast, Qiu Zhihe came back with a bag in his hand and said to Qin Gengyun:
"I bought high-quality spiritual meat again today."
Qin Gengyun stood up and asked with a smile: "There are not many spiritual meats in the vegetable market outside Zhaiyu Lane, and there are even less high-quality spiritual meats. Fellow Taoist Qiu is very lucky."
Qiu Zhihe entered the kitchen, while Qin Gengyun asked outside:
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qiu, this spiritual meat is not cheap, right? Do you have enough spiritual stones?"
A cold voice came from the kitchen:
"enough."
This wild spiritual mastiff was fetched by the three ghost cultivators from the mountains outside Yunling Town. How could they dare to accept her spiritual stone?
When Qin Gengyun heard what Qiu Zhihe said, he didn't hesitate to ask more questions, and then started to make elixirs.
Just like yesterday, at noon, Qin Gengyun finished refining the elixir, and Qiu Zhihe brought out the fragrant meat stew.
While the two were eating, Qin Gengyun said:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I can finish all the elixirs agreed with Daoist Mo today. How about sending them to her at the night market tonight?"
Qiu Zhihe glanced at him: "You just go and ask me what to do?"
"Oh." Qin Gengyun thought that if he didn't tell you, he would be angry again.
After the two had lunch, Qin Gengyun went to wash the dishes as usual. Then he said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going out to buy spiritual essence from Xianbao Pavilion."
"Um."
Qiu Zhihe, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, hummed, and then Qin Gengyun went out.
After not going out for a few days, one foot stepped on the ground and the whole shoe sank into the thick snow.
The snow was falling heavily, and there were far fewer pedestrians outside.
This is Qin Gengyun's first time to spend winter in Yunling Town.
I remembered that when I was in Zhenyang City two years ago, the snow was not that heavy in winter.
At that time, he was still working as an alchemy attendant in the Tiandan Pavilion. He heard an alchemist say that it was because there was a huge magic circle in Zhenyang City, which weakened most of the effects of bad weather.
Naturally, a small and remote place like Yunling Town does not have such treatment.
Qin Gengyun walked in the heavy snow and put his hand in front of his eyes to block the snowflakes flying in the wind.
"Did Fellow Daoist Qiu brave the heavy snow to go out to buy groceries these past two days?"
Thinking that Qiu Zhihe was still wearing very thin clothes today, Qin Gengyun felt a little sorry.
Qiu Zhihe had a lot of thin clothes, but she didn't seem to have enough winter clothes. In such a cold day, even a monk would easily get frozen.
After thinking about it, he did not go straight to Xianbao Pavilion, but came to Caifeng Street and found a shop specializing in clothing.
In fact, if you want to buy better clothes, you have to go to Rouge Pavilion.
But Qin Gengyun was worried about being entangled by Chen Jia again. If she was really Yang Fengshan's fiancée and told Yang Fengshan that she spent thirty spiritual stones to buy clothes, it would be unnecessary trouble.
Qin Gengyun chose two thick embroidered leather jackets in the clothing store. They were both made of monster skins and were quite warm.
One black and one red.
Black because Qiu Zhihe likes it, red because Qiu Zhihe looks really good in red.
Buy two pieces and wear whichever one she likes.
These two leather jackets were ordinary clothes and cost two spiritual stones, which did not affect Qin Gengyun's purchase of spiritual essence.
After walking out of the clothing store, not far away is Liuyan Lane, and opposite the lane entrance is Yihong Building.
Qin Gengyun thought of the rumor that "Oiran is obsessed with the power of sexual intercourse", shook his head and walked quickly towards Xianbao Pavilion.
Not far behind him, two sturdy female cultivators from Yihong Tower looked at the portraits in their hands, then at Qin Gengyun’s back, and looked at each other:
"It seems to be the benefactor of Ruyi Oiran?"
"Quick, follow quietly!"
Qin Gengyun came to Xianbao Pavilion, feeling a little uneasy. He wanted to buy sixty pieces of spiritual essence, which meant spending a huge sum of six hundred spiritual stones.
It's really eye-catching.
It would be troublesome if someone was watching.
Fortunately, it had just arrived at Chenshi, and the Xianbao Pavilion had just opened its doors. It was snowing heavily, and there was no one in the Xianbao Pavilion.
Qin Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief, walked to a counter, and whispered to the shopkeeper:
"I want sixty pieces of spiritual essence."
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at him, but without saying much, he said: "This fellow Taoist has six hundred spirit stones."
Qin Gengyun took out six hundred spirit stones from the spirit crystal and quickly paid the bill. The shopkeeper also gave him a fine brocade jade bag specifically for the spirit essence.
"Thank you."
Qin Gengyun put the jade bag into his arms, left the Xianbao Pavilion, looked around, and walked quickly towards Zhaiyu Lane.
"Coming out! Follow me quickly!"
The two strong female cultivators who were guarding outside the Xianbao Pavilion saw Qin Gengyun coming out and immediately followed him.
