Baishi took Shi Wuji out of the medicine house and returned to the main courtyard of the Ghost Doctor's Tomb. The two of them rarely had any free time, so they sat down in the courtyard to enjoy tea.
Baishi drank the brewed tea and said slowly: "That kid from Yuanting has no choice! He treats people politely, talks elegantly, and his cultivation skills are all outstanding. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Shi Wuji stopped drinking tea and said with a serious expression: "Who asked you to be a lobbyist? Yan Yatou?"
Bai Shi smiled and said nothing, muttering in his heart: At this time, the old man really guessed it right. He didn't want to get involved in the junior's affairs, but since Yan Yueli came to him, considering her close relationship with Ah Chen, he You can't ignore it either...
Although Shiraishi didn't say anything, he could still make some guesses at any time. He knew that Yan Yueli and Shen Qingxi had been friends since childhood, but he had never heard of Wang Yuanting's personal friendship, and he didn't want to find out. Today Yan Yueli actually asked Bai Shi to intercede. It seems that Wang Yuanting is doing well in Yan Yuezong.
Shi Wuji only knew that Wang Yuanting was Yan Wugui's chief inner disciple and the most respected by Yan Wugui. He heard that he was busy with affairs and traveled around without a fixed residence. This was the reason why Shi Wuji had not let go. reason.
Just as the two were arguing, Shen Qingxi came in from outside carrying a basket of herbs. Seeing Bai Shi chatting with Shi Wuji, she quickly greeted him enthusiastically: "Grandpa Bai, Qingxi misses you very much!"
Bai Shi has been busy treating Lu Xinrui and Yan Nianxin since he came to Lihun Valley. He didn't have much time to reminisce with them. Today, he had a rare free time and wanted to see his grandnephew whom he hadn't seen for many years.
When Bai Shi saw that the person was Shen Qingxi, he felt happy in his heart. He didn't care to argue with Shi Wuji about Wang Yuanting. He stretched out his hand to greet Shen Qingxi and came closer: "You have a sweet mouth. Grandpa Bai has a gift for you. Come here quickly." .”
Shen Qingxi threw the medicine basket on her back casually on the ground and ran over regardless. Seeing her being so unruly, Shi Wuji was about to scold her, but was dissuaded by Bai Shi's doting eyes. He sighed helplessly and returned to the room without seeing anything.
Bai Shi looked Shen Qingxi up and down, and was very happy to see that she still had such a cheerful temperament despite not being tall and graceful for several years. He was most worried about Wuji's weird temper when he was outside, which affected Shen Qingxi's growth. Now it seems that he is worrying too much.
"Xi'er, Grandpa Bai has something good for you!" Bai Shi said, taking out a small brocade box from his sleeve robe and handing it over solemnly.
When Shen Qingxi saw that Bai Shi had handed the brocade box to her so formally, he must be an extraordinary treasure, her little face immediately smiled like a flower. She lowered her body slightly, took the brocade box with both hands, and couldn't wait to open it to take a look.
There was a golden elixir placed in the brocade box, with a hint of pink fairy energy coming out of it. Shen Qingxi naturally recognized this object: "It's the Dingyan elixir! Thank you, Grandpa Bai, Xi'er likes it!"
Bai Shi pursed his lips and smiled, moved closer to Shen Qingxi, covered his mouth and whispered: "If I say that this elixir is a betrothal gift from the Yan Yue Sect, will Xi'er still accept it?"
Shen Qingxi half-opened her mouth with a look of disbelief, but her heart was filled with joy, and then she kept nodding her head and said: "Of course I have to accept it!"
The two were about to chat more, but Shi Wuji suddenly appeared behind them and said sternly: "What's the use of sending Dingyan Pill? Wang Yuanting is really as stupid as ever!"
Shi Wuji said this to Wang Yuanting not once or twice. Although Shen Qingxi knew that her grandfather was a smart-mouthed person, she felt uncomfortable hearing it.
She immediately put away the smile on her face, pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "My uncle is prejudiced against senior brother, I just like to be with him, is that okay?"
"You kid..." When Shi Wuji heard this, he was very angry. He usually saw this kid being quite smart, but why did he turn into a fool when he met Wang Yuanting!
Shi Wuji's disdain for Dingyan Pill is really not biased. Dingyan Pill is not common in the world of cultivation. Naturally, things are rare and valuable. However, although it can make people stay youthful and beautiful forever, keeping their appearance the same as when they took the elixir, it is of no great use to those who are cultivators.
The production of Dingyan Pill does not require real fire refining. The raw materials required are all common medicinal materials, but the requirements for the medicinal properties of the materials are extremely strict, and they all require medicinal properties of more than a thousand years. Although they have many rare spiritual herbs in Lihun Valley, the Millennium Spiritual Grass is still rare, so how can they waste it on this useless Dingyan Pill.
Thousand-year-old spiritual grass, not to mention Dongcang Nanqiong where spiritual grass is over-harvested, even in vast and sparsely populated areas like Xiliang and Beiyou, thousand-year spiritual grass is something that can only be found but not sought.
The monks get the Millennium Spiritual Grass to refine elixirs to improve their cultivation. If it doesn't work, they can take it directly. They can also refine the medicinal power themselves. If they don't keep it, they can directly help them break through the bottleneck of their cultivation.
Dingyan Pill has no benefit in improving one's own cultivation, nor can it increase longevity. It can only help monks maintain their current appearance, and the medicinal materials required for the refining process are thousand-year-old spiritual grass. It is really a luxury, which is more important? You can tell at a glance.
Moreover, the best time to take the Dingyan Pill is between the Qi Refining Period and the Foundation Establishment Period, because this state just corresponds to the real time appearance of ordinary mortals. Basically, the appearance will not change in the Pill Formation Stage, and then take the Dingyan Pill. It's of no use either.
Shen Qingxi is now in the Great Perfection of Expelling Objects. It will be completely useless if she cannot be persuaded, but in fact it will not have much effect. Wang Yuanting refined a thousand-year-old elixir into such a useless elixir, so Shi Wuji naturally had no good words to say to him.
In fact, as early as when Shen Qingxi was in the foundation building stage, she asked Shi Wuji to help her refine one, but Shi Wuji naturally refused, and this became Shen Qingxi's long-cherished wish.
Shi Wuji is the owner of the Soul-Living Valley. Even if it is his most beloved granddaughter, he cannot let the disciples of the Ghost Doctor Tomb do such ridiculous things for their own selfish desires.
If Shen Qingxi was one of those female cultivators who were anxious about her appearance, Shi Wuji might have had a hothead and refined one for her to take. But his granddaughter was born cute and cute. Some blind man must have said something wrong about her, which made his granddaughter, who had always been well-behaved and confident, pester him for that flashy elixir.
Thinking of this, Shi Wuji became angry and poured out all his years of resentment: "It was because that boy disliked you back then that you only cared about me asking for Dingyan Pill!"
"I didn't!" Shen Qingxi denied it with all her strength. She was heartbroken. It turned out that her grandfather had often made things difficult for her senior brother in recent years. The reason was actually because of her willful behavior back then.
"You silly girl, you are still protecting him!" Shi Wuji didn't believe that Dingyan Dan's matter had nothing to do with Wang Yuanting. It was because of that boy that his granddaughter became worried about gains and losses. Who else could it be if it wasn't him?
"Grandpa always misunderstands senior brother, Qingxi hates grandpa!" Shen Qingxi was so anxious that she shed tears, clutched the brocade box in her hand, and ran out of the main courtyard with a tear.
Bai Shi on the side shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "Old man Shi, you have such a weird temper..."
Shiraishi didn't want to take care of it, but he didn't know what to do when he didn't have a plan. Although he has no children, he at least has a wife, and he knows a lot more than Shi Wuji, the lonely "old fogy".
Baishi patiently walked up to Shi Wuji and said, "Xi'er is a girl, so she naturally cares about appearance. Back then, she was also on a whim. It's true that you are taking it too seriously when you bring up old things today."
"I, I have never raised a daughter, how could I know this..." Shi Wuji touched his beard, showing an expression of embarrassment and regret. He has never been stumbled by any love in his life, and he still has to worry about his little granddaughter when he gets old. It seems that no one in this world can really stay away from the word "bond".
Seeing that Shi Wuji, who had always been stubborn, rarely listened to other people's opinions today, Baishi knew that Shen Qingxi held a very important position in his heart, so he immediately continued to persuade: "I think Wang Yuanting's gift was thoughtful. If you press How can you get married if you are so picky?"
When Shi Wuji heard this, he said, good guy, Mr. Baishi has been working as a lobbyist to the end today, and he immediately said angrily: "I just want to find a son-in-law who steps in, otherwise who will I pass this ghost doctor's tomb to?"
The inheritance of the ghost doctor's tomb was just an excuse Shi Wuji made for himself. In fact, he didn't want Shen Qingxi to leave. After all, he was the "granddaughter" he had raised for many years, so naturally he couldn't bear to marry anyone else.
"Grandpa Bai." A steady and polite man in white walked straight into the yard and bowed respectfully to Bai Shi.
After a pause, he saluted Shi Wuji again and asked, "Master, have you seen Junior Sister Shen?"
Shi Wuji raised his hand and pointed towards the inner courtyard. The man in white immediately understood, saluted and exited the courtyard.
Shi Wuji watched him leave, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Bai Shi, "My eldest disciple looks good."
Baishi knew that Wen Jinyan, the top disciple of the Ghost Doctor Tomb, was the child he had watched grow up. He had a steady temperament, was kind-hearted, and was hardworking and eager to learn. He was indeed a good candidate to study medicine, but he had no intention of going beyond Shen Qingxi. This old man Shi is afraid that he can't hold on to his dignity anymore and is randomly looking for someone to use as a shield.
Bai Shi's guess was indeed very likely. Shi Wuji knew that he had misunderstood Wang Yuanting for many years. It was impossible for him to apologize to him, and he was not very happy to ask him to agree to his marriage to Shen Qingxi. The only solution for now was Dragging.
Baishi was tired of being criticized by Shi Wuji. He didn't want to play both sides anymore, so he exposed him directly and mercilessly. He said angrily in a concise and concise manner: "You are still messing around at your age. Yan'er is determined to save the people of the world, but you are a ghost doctor." Zhong, he may not like it yet."
"You! I'm too lazy to tell you..." Shi Wuji was so angry that he touched his beard. He suddenly understood why Wang Yuanting went around in such a big circle and insisted on asking his junior brother Bai Shi to give him a betrothal gift. It turned out that the boy had long known that Bai Shi was his. " Natural nemesis”.
It's not that Shiraishi is very good at speaking, it's just because the two of them are so familiar with each other. Shiraishi knows his temper best and can easily see through his thoughts and control him easily.
Shi Wuji knew that he couldn't defeat Bai Shi, so he had no choice but to hide in the front yard. Although Bai Shi's words were not rough, they were really unpleasant to listen to, and it was hard for him not to be angry!
For a moment, Bai Shi was the only one left in the huge courtyard. He kept shaking his head and sighing: "Hey, I have tried my best, and the gift has been given. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on whether the two of them are firm in their minds..."
