The days that followed were boring.
Refining elixirs, practicing dual cultivation, working, eating, meditating and sleeping every day.
After the Immortal Ascension Conference, Huozaofang became lively again, and the addition of new blood made the entire sect appear full of vitality.
Young handyman disciples can be seen every day, and they are enthusiastic, capable, and easy to talk to, and are deeply loved by everyone.
The T-shaped courtyard that originally seemed a bit deserted can now be heard from next door every day.
Seven days flew by.
Early that morning, Miao Jian came to visit again.
"Senior Brother Zhao! Senior Brother Zhao! Good news!"
Zhao Qing looked puzzled and waited for the other party to explain.
"A few days ago, Senior Brother Zhao reminded us to go out for a walk. Last night, after completing my mission, I went to Danxia City overnight. Guess who I met?"
Zhao Qing showed an interested expression: "Oh? Tell me."
"I met Senior Brother Ma Zhe!"
Zhao Qing:......
Who is Ma Zhe?
"That night, there was a fight in the city. When I was passing by, I happened to see a senior brother wearing a green robe nearby. I think he was the inner sect's rotating senior brother that you mentioned."
"When he saw that I was wearing a handyman uniform, he called me over. After checking my identity card, he assigned me a task!"
"Senior Brother Ma Zhe has important matters to deal with and cannot leave at the moment. He arranged for me to patrol the West Square."
"He also showed me his patrol hand card!"
Zhao Qing:......
Beautifully done.
"You went to Xifang?"
Miao Jian nodded and said excitedly: "Yes! I patrolled all night and everything was peaceful and calm. Unfortunately, there were too few people at night and I couldn't meet Senior Establishment."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly.
He warned again: "Since it is the arrangement made by the inner sect brother, I think nothing will go wrong. But try to go to Xifang as little as possible, there... there are too many seniors."
Miao Jian looked determined and nodded heavily.
"I understand Senior Brother Zhao's care! I will definitely keep it in mind!"
"By the way, senior brother, I came here to ask, since senior brother Ma takes such good care of me, and I just received the Qi Gathering Pill, should I go and visit him?"
Zhao Qing's expression remained unchanged and he sighed slightly in his heart.
"Where to visit?"
Miao Jiandao: "Of course we should go to Danxia City and we should be able to find it. Senior brother, do you know where the inner sect brothers live?"
Zhao Qing shook his head slightly, stood up and said, "I haven't paid attention to it either. As for the visit you mentioned, the inner disciples are usually busy, so you may not be able to meet him again."
"What if we meet?"
"You can visit."
Miao Jian thanked him repeatedly, then said goodbye and left the yard. Not long after, exclamations came one after another from the next door.
Zhao Qing ignored him, turned around and entered the quiet room to continue refining alchemy.
The mastery of Qi Gathering Pill is only one step away from breaking through. The top priority is to work hard to refine the pill, and other trivial matters will be queued up.
As for Miao Jian's situation, he didn't take it seriously at all. As a young man, maybe he will soar into the sky?
"Am I getting old? My thinking can no longer keep up with that of young people?"
This thought came to Zhao Qing's mind, and then he shook his head slightly.
Try to avoid risky things as much as possible. This is not like the previous life, but there is no easy solution to any trouble. One wrong step will lead to an abyss.
He picked up the Qi Gathering Pill liquid that he had just failed to refine and walked out of the quiet room.
"Shu Yue, the medicinal meal is ready. Come and drink it."
The girl took it with both hands and drank it in one gulp very obediently.
As soon as she put down the casserole, her fair skin turned red, like a ripe peach.
"Husband, the effect of the medicine is stronger. I can feel the itching feeling in my limbs."
Zhao Qing stroked his wife's forehead and told her to practice well and enter the innate world as soon as possible. Even if the talent is not good, she can improve her physical fitness.
Failure is the mother of success. As he keeps trying, even if the elixir fails, most of the medicinal properties of the spiritual grass can be retained.
It's just that due to the realm, the quality and control of spiritual energy can never keep up, so it is difficult to refine multiple pills at one time.
"Husband, aren't you going to work today?"
Zhao Qing shook his head slightly. He had no intention of doing anything else until he refined the last Qi Gathering Pill.
…
At noon, the sun is shining brightly.
Zhao Qing walked out of the quiet room with a grimace, burped, looked at the small amount of firewood in the yard, took the utensils and headed to Shouyun Mountain.
"Well, don't be in a hurry, take your time, take your time."
The closer he got to the last step, the harder it was for him to grasp the opportunity to make the elixir. Instead of drinking medicinal food at home, it would be better to go to the mountains to relax.
The best way to ruin a hobby is to treat it as work.
The high-intensity elixir refining in recent days has left Zhao Qing a little mentally exhausted. He feels like he is taking a rest while swinging an ax to chop down trees.
In the evening, when he was submitting tasks in the kitchen, he happened to meet Wang Teng who was on duty.
The other party smiled at him and said nothing.
Zhao Qing just called him senior brother and didn't talk about anything else. After all, it was just a transaction before. Maybe Wang Teng had even forgotten who he was.
After chatting with some acquaintances in the kitchen, he left the kitchen with the vegetables.
According to the people in the kitchen, a total of six outer sects were born in the Immortal Ascension Conference a few days ago, which is more than ever before. Among them, there is a top-quality water spirit root who has been personally appointed to pass on.
As for the handyman disciples, most of them were assigned to Lingkuangfang and Dancaofang, while Huozaofang received much fewer resources than before.
The recent trial of the sect’s alchemy hall is about to begin.
Moreover, there was a fight in Danxia City the night before. It was suspected to be related to other forces and not a conflict between casual cultivators.
Although this information had nothing to do with Zhao Qing, he still silently wrote it down.
After all, living here, knowing more about current affairs will be of great benefit to future decisions.
Everything will be successful if it is foreseen, and it will be ruined if it is not prepared. This is the case.
Zhao Qing planned to go down the mountain again after consuming all the medicinal materials in his hand, and use all the Qi Gathering Pills in his hand to buy new medicinal materials. If the balance was enough, he would also buy an amulet for Wang Shuyue. It didn't matter if he didn't use it. If you don't have it on hand when you use it, you'll be in trouble.
Back home, after a simple meal and rest.
He began to meditate to restore his spiritual energy and prepare for tonight's battle...
midnight.
After Zhao Qing drank two pots of medicinal food in a row, he finally felt blessed and the elixir was completed.
The virtual panel suddenly appeared.
[Acquire proficiency in Qi Gathering Pill: 1]
[Proficiency in Qi Gathering Pills: A first glimpse into the door and a breakthrough can be achieved by entering the room (10/10)]
His eyes were locked, and he silently thought "breakthrough" in his heart, and his eyes suddenly changed.
There was a flash of light, and the words on it seemed to have come to life, slowly swimming, and finally four new characters appeared: Integration and Comprehension.
[Qi Gathering Pill Proficiency: Entering the House·Comprehensive (0/100)]
Correspondingly, Zhao Qing found that he had a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of the Qi Gathering Pill.
It is specifically targeted at the properties of magical herbs.
"The lotus pod is cool in nature and likes water. It activates blood circulation, unblocks meridians, regulates qi and calms the mind. It is used as a monarch medicine because it first unblocks the collaterals and then can be supplemented with spiritual energy to pour the meridians. Therefore, the monarch medicine should be based on the lotus pod, with blood vine as the bone and ephedra as the base. The surface is composed of spirit-devouring grass as the heart, supplemented by ministerial medicine..."
Zhao Qing reflected for a moment and realized something.
He took out the Qi Gathering Pill from the casserole and started it again.
until early morning.
Five furnaces and three elixirs!
[Qi Gathering Pill Proficiency: Entering the House and Mastering it (3/100)]
The rate of pill formation is much higher than before!
What was even more gratifying was that, perhaps due to the continuous squeezing of spiritual energy and digestion of the elixir for several days, he faintly felt that the cultivation realm he had maintained for many years had been somewhat loosened.
This made Zhao Qing's heart, which had been dormant for many years, become excited again.
If you can successfully reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, you will be considered to have entered the middle stage.
The requirements for the later stages of Qi refining for outer disciples are just around the corner.
Well, the years are quiet and the future is promising!
