In the year of Guimao, it is the day of Si month and Mao day.
Xiaoman.
The courtyard with the last name of Ding welcomed back its master.
After Zhao Qing settled everything properly, he went to the kitchen to prepare to visit senior brother Wang Teng.
After all, when I left, it was with the other party's tacit consent, and now I should inform him when I come back.
This will prevent you from being put on the back foot when it comes to future work or residence matters.
Kitchen room.
The stern young man was lying on a wooden chair with his eyes closed as usual.
The only difference is that the wooden chair was moved under the old locust tree. After all, it was already summer.
Zhao Qing walked through the crowd and saw the figure under the old locust tree from a distance.
After getting closer, he didn't mention anything special. Instead, he continued as usual and asked about today's mission.
"Senior brother, I'm here to receive today's mission."
Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes, revealing extremely gloomy eyes, and said indifferently: "What time is it now? Why are you here?"
Zhao Qing bent down to apologize and said nothing.
After Wang Teng saw the person clearly, his expression relaxed a little.
But his tone was still a little impatient, and he glared at Zhao Qing up and down and said: "Eighty pounds, you have been eighty pounds these past few days, make up for what you didn't hit before."
"Okay, disciple, make up for what you missed."
Zhao Qing saluted and agreed, preparing to say goodbye and leave.
He knew that what the other party said was just to show his status as a disciple on duty. Anyway, it was enough to let him know that he was back.
Zhao Qing, who has been in Huozaofang for many years, has already figured out the twists and turns.
"etc!"
Zhao Qing paused: "Senior Brother, do you have any other instructions?"
Wang Teng tapped his two fingers back and forth on the wooden chair, and looked at Zhao Qing sideways: "Breakthrough?"
"This disciple's state of mind changed a bit when he entered the city. Fortunately, he broke through to the middle stage of Qi refining." Zhao Qing replied.
The stern young man sat up slowly, stretched and yawned and asked, "Who is your wife? Is she okay?"
Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head, then saluted and thanked him again.
"Okay, let's go! Chenshi will come to receive the mission from now on! I will definitely punish you next time!"
…
Zhao Qing picked up the food in the kitchen and walked home, feeling puzzled.
"What does Wang Teng's last sentence mean? Do I need to make up for the firewood that I didn't hit before?"
Forget it, don't patch it up, it should be fine.
After returning home, when he invited Wang Shuyue to have dinner with him, he discovered that the food in the kitchen... wasn't that fragrant.
"Shu Yue, if you want to cook in the future, let me know and I will bring vegetables back from the kitchen."
The girl raised her head, with rice grains still stuck to the corner of her mouth, and looked at her husband with big eyes full of confusion.
After she was stunned for a long time, she smiled and said, "The husband can just bring the food back when he has free time. Shuyue wants to cook for him anytime."
After meal.
Zhao Qing fixed the courtyard door and took out the Qingsong Formation disk from the storage bag.
On the square formation disk, the lines and incisions are crisscrossed in a criss-cross pattern, and there is a groove in the center where the formation disk can be activated by placing spiritual stones.
"Shu Yue, follow me to the door. After I go out, put this spirit stone into the groove of the formation plate."
He briefly explained how to use the formation disk, then opened the courtyard door and came to the street outside.
Everyone was working at this time, and there was no one outside the door.
"I put it away!"
The sweet wife's clear voice came.
Zhao Qing stepped forward and pushed the door open, only to find that he was blocked two feet outside the door and could no longer move forward.
This feeling is very strange, as if there is a high wall in front of you, and you can even reach out and touch the invisible barrier formed by the spiritual energy.
Is this a defensive array?
Zhao Qing looked around again, and after confirming that no one was around, he pinched a Chi Lian Technique in his hand. After the proficiency breakthrough, the Chi Lian Technique was much more powerful than before.
With the stimulation of spiritual energy, a long fire rope rose from his palm and spread to the courtyard wall in an instant.
But it still disappeared two feet outside the wall.
Zhao Qing grunted and backed away slowly. The feedback from his spiritual energy was like hitting an iron pot with his head, and his meridians even felt throbbing pain.
After half a stick of incense, Zhao Qing walked around his house to confirm whether the yard was completely covered by the formation.
Then, he called out to Wang Shuyue to put away the array and pushed the door open.
Green Pine Formation!
Zhao Qing locked the courtyard door and took the formation disk from his beloved wife, feeling that the safety factor had been greatly improved.
"With this array in the future, ordinary dangers should not threaten us."
Wang Shuyue had already understood the specific situation, and she nodded vigorously at this moment. Through the corners of her crescent-shaped eyes, it could be seen that she was also very excited inside.
Later, Zhao Qing took off the remaining spirit stones and estimated the dosage.
"It didn't consume so quickly at first, and after a while it suddenly shattered part of it." My wife described at the side.
Zhao Qing understood.
It should be that my attack caused the formation disk to consume more spiritual energy...
"Take the array disk to the bedroom and replace the spirit stone with a new one. Observe how long it takes for a spirit stone to completely shatter."
Zhao Qing arranged for his wife to record the amount of spiritual stones used in the formation plate, while he took the equipment and went up the mountain.
The monsters have been completely eliminated, and life in the kitchen has returned to normal, seemingly unchanged.
But for Zhao Qing, it was completely different.
Today he is not chopping wood, but practicing axe!
…
It's just that after practicing, you need to take the injured tree back to the kitchen for comfort.
Shouyun Mountain is not hot in summer. The leafy trees cover most of the sunlight, and it even feels cooler than down the mountain.
Zhao Qing went straight to the forest area where he often went.
There was blood everywhere along the way, and he even almost stepped on some specially made traps.
These are all traces left behind after hunting monsters.
Looking at the messy Shouyun Mountain, Zhao Qing still felt a little scared in his heart. Have the surrounding monsters really been cleaned up?
He looked at the handymen working scatteredly in the distance, and then looked up at a few temporary wooden houses erected halfway up the mountain, where the inner disciples were on duty.
It wasn't until he came to the area where he often worked and found nothing unusual that he felt a lot more at ease.
He asked about it while receiving the meal in the kitchen, and it was pretty much what he had guessed.
The sect arranged for three inner sect brothers to be permanently stationed in Shouyun Mountain, firstly to block the casual cultivators from going up the mountain, and secondly to prevent the monsters in the depths of Shouyun Mountain from escaping.
It is said that it has something to do with the arrangement of future sect trials.
After breaking through the fourth level of Qi refining, his originally static practice began to make progress.
When the spiritual energy enters the dragon's spine from the Dantian, you only need to break through the three levels step by step, and then you can practice all the way to the sixth level of Qi refining without any obstacles.
The magic formula has also begun to accumulate progress. Although there is no weapon that can be used, it is enough to practice cutting down trees with the ax in hand.
At this moment, Zhao Qing took out his axe, pointed at a big tree three feet away, and circulated his spiritual energy to find that familiar feeling...
Then he rounded his arms.
"Whoosh!"
The ax head flew out in rapid rotation, and the sharp ax blade carried huge power, as if it could cut off everything, and was firmly embedded in the tree trunk more than half way.
After only staying for a moment, he followed the pull of the spiritual energy and rolled back.
However, Zhao Qing sidestepped in time and did not dare to catch it with his hands.
This is the case with the "Flying across the River" in "Splitting the Mountain", which emphasizes attacking and killing with bare hands, and I am invincible.
