Are you kidding me? I rented a house just to avoid the tide of monsters.
Now tell me, can you get rich by hunting monsters and selling them for money?
Sorry, I don't want to get rich.
Zhao Qing said goodbye to Zhang Qiuyang and Junior Sister Sun from Dancaofang, and asked two more acquaintances, but received similar answers.
Elder Qian, who was in the later stage of Jindan, had already gone deep into Shouyun Mountain to check. The most dangerous monsters were only about the strength of the foundation, and they were still in the deepest part. There are some little monsters on the periphery who have not yet developed their intelligence, and three or five handymen can break in.
As for the Golden Core Demon King, it is simply nonsense.
It is said that for a few days after he left, he could still feel the strange movements deep in Shouyun Mountain every night, but it has become quiet again in the past two days. It is estimated that no more monsters will come to the periphery.
Therefore, both the handymen in the various workshops and the casual cultivators in the city were hunting the monsters like crazy, for fear that they would be too late and not even drink the soup. There were even many outer disciples who came to get involved.
Zhao Qing walked around and returned to the D-shaped courtyard. After seeing the locked courtyard door, he felt relieved. It seemed that Wang Teng was relatively reliable and kept the courtyard for himself.
After fully understanding the situation, Zhao Qing returned the same way, got some food from the kitchen, and went down the mountain to go home.
He suddenly realized that hunting monsters could really earn a lot of spirit stones... and the monsters on the mountain were easy to kill. So much so that the dishes he received today included a portion of braised venison, and he knew it was from the mountain without even thinking about it.
But Zhi Gui knew that he was not envious, let alone planning to move back to the kitchen now.
Although everyone said that there is no danger in Shouyun Mountain, the rumors of the Golden Core Demon King are not groundless... Even if it is really a rumor, the fact that there is a foundation-building monster deep in the mountain is always discussed by Elder Qian Confirmed?
Regardless of whether it is the strength of the golden elixir or the strength of foundation building, it is an instant kill for Qi refining, without any difference.
Furthermore, why did a wave of monsters suddenly break out in Shouyun Mountain? This has never happened before.
After Zhao Qing thought carefully, he decided to live in Beifang first. Anyway, there is still some time before the rent is due, so he can wait and see.
As for going up the mountain to hunt monsters, he had never even thought about it.
Now that we have broken through the middle stage of Qi refining, we are about to break through to the alchemy master realm. By then, the efficiency of refining Qi gathering pills will be greatly increased. I am a walking money printing machine. Why take such a big risk to hunt monsters?
Anyone whose brain has not been squeezed by a door knows how to choose.
After returning to Danxia City, Zhao Qing walked around Beifang for a while and found a shop selling monster meat at a very cheap price.
It is claimed that eating it strengthens the body, promotes blood circulation, and even nourishes the brain.
Zhao Qing didn't believe these words, but he still bought a rabbit weighing more than eight pounds. It was said to be a small monster hunted in the mountains. He bought it for two spiritual stones.
A small beast of this size is just brought back by a casual cultivator who hunts monsters, so it is not very valuable.
Zhao Qing thought, there was a carnival all around Shouyun Mountain, and he felt like he was missing something if he didn't participate. He could just buy a rabbit and eat it.
In addition to rabbits, there are also meats from various large monster beasts. Even wolves and leopards have been hooked and hung in the shop waiting for customers to choose their parts.
But this kind of thing was ignored by Zhao Qing. Firstly, cooking was not convenient, and secondly it was not cheap.
On the way home, he made another pot of wine, selected a slender poplar tree on the roadside, and ruthlessly took it home.
Tonight, roast the demon rabbit with salt.
Celebrate your successful breakthrough to the middle stage of Qi refining.
Just after noon, Zhao Qing had arrived at Huima Alley. As the monster hunting fever swept the city, this alley became increasingly deserted.
At noon, there was not a single person in sight.
"Shu Yue, look what I brought back!"
The lovely wife peeked her head out of the bedroom and looked happy when she saw the rabbit in her husband's hand.
"Husband, why do you want to buy rabbits today?"
Zhao Qing joked. "I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it. I'll give you some supplements."
"I brought food from the kitchen, and there is venison to eat today. Let's eat these first, and then roast the rabbit in the evening."
The wife readily agreed.
In the afternoon, Zhao Qing started refining the Qi Gathering Pill again, while Wang Shuyue worked on it.
After breaking through to the middle stage of Qi refining, the spiritual energy was enough to support him in refining five furnaces without the need to meditate to recover.
In two hours, four pills were produced, which was a higher rate than the last time, and the effect of the failed potion was also perfectly preserved.
This is a very big improvement.
If the efficacy of the medicine can be guaranteed, there will be no loss even if it fails.
It can be completely digested internally. If you succeed, you can sell it. If you fail, you can drink it yourself. You can eat the Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid as food. I don’t know how many casual cultivators would be envious of it.
When midnight was approaching, Zhao Qing handed the refined elixir to his wife, who put it in a wooden box for temporary storage and sold it together later.
"I made a friend in Dongfang a few days ago. He has a son who is so tall. After I refine the marrow-cleansing pill again, I will send one to him." Zhao Qing said casually, reaching out and gesturing. Check out the height of that bald guy.
Wang Shuyue paused: "Does your husband want to have children?"
Zhao Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
"If you wait a little longer, you may still have a chance to touch the threshold of foundation building."
The beloved wife was silent and about to cry.
"Husband, Shuyue will give you a child."
"A mortal's lifespan cannot be compared with that of an immortal master. By the time her husband succeeds in his cultivation, Shuyue will probably be old and wan..."
"Since your husband wants to wait, then let's wait, but it shouldn't take too long... Shu Yue will be content with her death if she can leave a wife for her husband in this life."
Zhao Qing felt mixed emotions and stepped forward to hold his wife's waist to comfort her.
"No, you're very young. Ten years. If I can't build a foundation within ten years, how about we find a village to live in seclusion and have a bunch of fat boys?"
"And my husband is an alchemy master. Haven't you heard of a pill called Zhuyan Dan? It can make a woman stay young forever. I will find it for you later. By the way, Shuyue, do you like it? A boy or a girl?"
After listening to her husband's words, Wang Shuyue relaxed a lot. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Whatever your husband likes, Shuyue likes. If you can choose, it would be best to leave a boy for your husband."
Zhao Qing sighed inwardly when he heard this. Shu Yue was good at everything. She was obedient, smart and capable, but she had low self-esteem and was too emotional.
She was always on the verge of death, sometimes left alone, and sometimes left alone. She didn't look like an eighteen-year-old girl at all.
Wang Shuyue broke away from her husband's arms and went to collect the rabbits for midnight snack.
"When I was in the village, Shu Yue often roasted rabbits and was very good at it."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly. He knew that Wang Shuyue's parents were originally from a village near Danxia City.
"By the way, Shu Yue, why is there an image of you engraved in Matchmaker Xu's place?"
"Image engraving? Matchmaker?"
"Is it Huanyu Pavilion? There is an immortal master from Huanyu Pavilion in the village! He is a very nice person. He often visits the elderly and occasionally distributes some qi-tonifying medicinal foods. I was lucky enough to eat them a few times."
?
Zhao Qing frowned: "The Immortal Master of Huanyu Pavilion? Please tell me carefully."
"I don't know what to call the immortal master. Just call him Immortal Master and he will agree. He is an old man with white hair and beard. He takes good care of everyone. There are also many young people who are his disciples."
"It's just that the Immortal's skills are passed on to men but not to women... It was the Immortal who found me that day and made a matchmaking move with me."
Zhao Qing was deeply surprised. In all his years in Danxia Sect, he had never heard that Huanyu Pavilion had a powerful presence in the village.
"What does the Immortal Chief usually do?"
"Do nothing. He is not in the village every day. Occasionally he leaves with the immortal master from the next village. He told everyone when he left."
Zhao Qing:? ? ?
The immortal master from the village next door?
Why do I smell a familiar smell... Is this some kind of special corporate culture?
He knew that there was Huanyu Pavilion near every sect, but he didn't expect that there was one in the village as well. This was a bit exaggerated.
Even the routes are different. Huanyuge Pavilion in the city is for business, while the one in the village is obviously a mass route. What is this for? ?
Zhao Qing thought silently in his heart that it would be better not to have too much contact with Huanyu Pavilion in the future.
Throughout history, organizations that engage in this kind of behavior will probably do something big one day.
That night, Wang Shuyue only roasted half of the rabbit. The remaining half was covered with coarse salt, wrapped in oil paper and placed in a cool place under the bed, saying that she would save it for later eating.
