It took about half an hour before my beloved wife heated up the food.
Two dishes, one soup, and two bowls of spiritual rice were placed neatly on the table.
Zhao Qing tidied up a little and served the meal, no longer playing with his new alchemy furnace.
The Lingmi bought in the market tastes softer and more glutinous than the rice from the kitchen, which is inseparable from Wang Shuyue's excellent cooking skills.
The roasted vegetables are full of color and aroma, the lines on the emerald green leaves are faintly visible, and the dots of oil flowers reflect the evening sun coming through the window. The unique fragrance of vegetable oil permeates the small bedroom, making people move their index fingers.
Especially the plate of rabbit meat, not only tender and juicy, but also combined with the special aroma of medicinal herbs, stewed in a casserole, the complex medicinal aroma fills the nose.
Zhao Qing took a few sips, and the juice exploded in his mouth, leaving him with endless aftertaste. Supplemented by the egg drop soup that my beloved wife had just served, the strands of egg drop mixed with shredded beans went into the throat, and it didn't feel greasy at all.
"The egg soup is pretty good. You can try steaming the rice in a bamboo tube, and you can add cinnamon to the rabbit meat. It should be better." The old chef Zhao Qing made some comments and gave clear instructions.
The girl held her chin up and looked at him, smiling and saying nothing.
Looking at his sweet wife's cunning eyes, Zhao Qing stopped talking, picked up the bowl and continued eating.
The food cooked by Wang Shuyue is the same as hers, very exquisite, far from being comparable to the big pot dishes in the kitchen.
But Zhao Qing still had to say a few words to show his family throne.
With the beauty by his side, Zhao Qing felt a little emotional.
Having a home and food to eat, aren’t these what ordinary people pursue in their lives?
The ancients said that the nature of food and sex is nothing more than this.
If Shouyun Mountain can calm down, it would be good to go back to the kitchen and work as a handyman for the rest of his life. With his beauty by his side, and the bitter wine far away in the mountains, it would be enough to comfort him for the rest of his life.
People in the world have been running around and wandering for decades, but all they want is a moment of peace.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Qing lay on the bed, enjoying the massage brought by his soft, boneless hands, and feeling the peace of this early summer evening.
…
At night, everything in Huima Alley was silent. Most of the houses were lit with candles. In one of them, the fire was so bright that the shadows of the window lattice were cast on the ground by the firelight, and continued to sway with the fire.
Inside the room, Zhao Qing concentrated on feeling the changes in the alchemy furnace.
This was his first attempt to refine multiple elixirs at once, and he had higher requirements for controlling spiritual energy.
The green-yellow alchemy furnace is simple and simple, with slightly vague patterns outlined on the furnace body, which has been swallowed up by the fire at this moment.
"Shu Yue, put the Glauber's Salt Talc and White Peony Root into the furnace!"
Zhao Qing controlled the spiritual energy to wander in the alchemy furnace and had no time to be distracted.
The girl's pretty face turned red when illuminated by the firelight. She took out the wet handkerchief she had prepared a long time ago, stepped forward to remove the iron pot that was upside down on the alchemy stove, and carefully added the medicinal ingredients...
There was no way, the alchemy stove had no lid. After many attempts, I only found an iron pot at home that could seal the mouth of the stove tightly.
Zhao Qing sat in front of the alchemy stove and tried his best to control the fire, while his wife was busy standing by and wiping her husband's sweat from time to time.
Half an hour later, Zhao Qing suddenly realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of Yiduodan.
If you want to control the situation in the alchemy furnace more delicately, the requirements for controlling spiritual power are too high.
Even though he has now reached the level of a mid-level alchemist, he still feels very strenuous. He can only rely on his skills to make the pills one by one, but cannot do three at the same time.
This already involves the preliminary use of spiritual consciousness, which can only be achieved in the later stages of Qi refining.
As the spiritual energy in his body continued to be consumed, and a few more sticks of incense passed, the edge of the iron pot suddenly tilted up, and a round Qi Gathering Pill fell aside under his control.
He had no time to check and continued to control the situation in the furnace.
Not long after, the second Qi Gathering Pill opened the iron pot again.
Until most of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed, a furnace of three elixirs was successful!
It took nearly an hour, which was much more efficient than before, but it also consumed more spiritual energy and energy.
The correct method of refining multiple pills in one furnace is to turn the medicinal materials into liquid and into pills at the same time.
Zhao Qing could only dissolve liquids at the same time. Whether he could turn into elixirs or not still depended on the current state. He just didn't do it well, so he could only refine the elixirs one by one one by one.
[Acquire proficiency in Qi Gathering Pill: 3]
[Qi Gathering Pill Proficiency: Entering the Hall and Comprehensive Comprehension (23/100)]
As the panel appeared, Zhao Qing let out a long breath.
Sure enough, the accumulation of proficiency is related to quantity!
He casually handed the three elixirs to his wife, told her to put them in the wooden box, and then began to meditate to restore his spiritual energy and prepare to refine the next one.
Even though he was very tired, when he thought about the cost of the Qi Gathering Pill and the benefits of refining it, he became very excited.
One furnace of pills can earn four spirit stones!
If he accumulates enough spirit stones in the future, he even plans to buy a spirit gathering array and set it up in the yard.
In this way, practicing and absorbing spiritual energy will be more efficient, meditation and recovery will be much faster, and the operation of the Green Pine Formation will not require the support of spiritual stones.
Even though the spirit gathering array is very expensive and costs hundreds of spirit stones, it is obviously very cost-effective.
Otherwise, just maintaining the rotation of the defensive array would be a huge expense.

Three days later, Zhao Qing took advantage of the early morning dew and headed straight from Nanfang to Huozaofang of the sect.
In two days, it will be the day of rent collection in Beifang, and maybe Huanyu Pavilion will come to visit us.
So he decided to go to the kitchen in advance to check the situation. If there were no problems, he would prepare to move back to the small courtyard in the next two days.
However, on the forest path leading to his kitchen, he heard shouts from afar.
"Senior Brother Zhao!"
"Senior Brother Zhao is back!"
Zhao Qing walked with his head down, a little confused.
Are you calling me? Doesn't it seem like that?
When did I get such a high salary when I came back? But the voice seems familiar...
He looked back and saw that they were his little neighbors.
The new handyman at T-number 59 is fetching water from a distant stream.
"It seems that the depths of Shouyun Mountain have completely calmed down..."
Obviously, everyone has resumed work, which means that the storm has passed and the kitchen has completely returned to normal.
Zhao Qing turned around and walked towards everyone, deciding to say hello.
"Long time no see, Senior Brother Zhao!"
"Senior Brother Zhao!"
"Senior Brother Zhao, have you ever met Miao Jian in the city?"
Zhao Qing smiled and said hello one by one, then replied: "Have you met Miao Jian? What's wrong? Is he always in the city?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Su, and the female cultivator, who was not good at sociability, blushed like a monkey's butt.
"Back, back to senior brother, Brother Jian is in the city most of the time, and occasionally he comes back to see us."
Zhao Qing looked at the eyes of the young people and immediately understood what was going on.
Miao Jian and this Shen Su couldn't get along.
He joked: "Shouldn't I come back to see you?"
"This...it depends on me as well as them."
The female cultivator who lived with Shen Su was laughing so hard that the bucket was almost washed away without anyone noticing.
Zhao Qing waved his hand slightly and got down to business: "What's going on in the mountains recently? When you were fetching water, did senior brother have any tasks to chop wood?"
A male cultivator replied: "All the monsters on the outside of Shouyun Mountain have been cleared away. The day before yesterday, many senior brothers from the inner sect went to the depths to set up a large formation, which can prevent the monsters in the foundation-building stage from rushing to the outside."
"And he also led us to drive all the casual cultivators down the mountain..."
"It is said that the elders in the sect have spoken. Shouyun Mountain will be used as a trial place to test disciples, and no casual cultivators will be allowed to come here in the future."
