Zhou Xiaoyi did not let Zhao Qing wait too long. After a week of spiritual energy circulation, she got up and walked out of the bed.
Her green toes touched the ground, her jade feet were like bows, and her slender legs walked past her eyes.
It would be a pity not to grind the medicine...
Zhao Qing's mind stirred for a moment, and he quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts.
The woman sat cross-legged opposite the table, her expression softened slightly: "Xiaoyi didn't know that Zhao Keqing was coming, so she didn't prepare tea."
She thought for a moment and took out two green and yellow fruits from the storage ring.
"I served them with tangerine fruits. Xiaoyi likes to eat them."
As she spoke, she picked up the fruit and began to peel it.
As the slender fingers peeled off the peel, a pungent and somewhat sour fragrance filled the air.
Eating oranges again?
Zhao Qing nodded slightly: "Junior sister is too polite."
He looked away from the green orange and raised his head to look at the woman.
Seeing those bloodshot eyes, Zhao Qing lost his mind for a moment.
Zhou Xiaoyi noticed something strange about him and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Zhao Keqing?"
ah?
Zhao Qing came to his senses and shook his head gently.
The effect of the two treasure flowers was so strong that the woman's eyes were bloodshot, not to mention her pretty cheeks that were flushed.
There is still a strand of green hair that is not dry at the corner of her lips, and the way her red eyes are lowered is breathtakingly charming.
Zhao Qing thought for a moment: "Junior sister, you might as well find a bronze mirror to reflect yourself."
Zhou Xiaoyi showed a puzzled look, and touched the table with her slender hands. A trace of water followed her arms and disappeared from her fingertips.
The next moment, she looked at Zhao Qing with a chuckle: "It's okay, it's caused by the blood."
Zhao Qing nodded and picked up the orange on the table.
I know it's okay, but don't tell me, you look even more demonic when you smile like this.
It's so perverted...
Zhou Xiaoyi seemed to have thought of something, took out another casserole from the storage ring and said: "The stewed bones last time was delicious, thank you!"
"I wonder what kind of bone it is? Xiaoyi has never eaten it before."
Zhao Qing peeled the orange and replied: "It's leopard bone. My wife made it. He is very good at it."
The woman opened and closed her dark red thin lips and put the orange segment into her mouth: "In the past few months, I have only eaten bigu pills and occasionally some tangerines. I never thought that I could taste such a delicious oily taste."
Only take Bigu Dan? Fairies really don’t need to eat.
Zhao Qing murmured in his heart.
The last time we met, Zhou Xiaoyi's words were not so confidential, right?
He glanced at the casserole and made a guess in his mind. He nodded and said, "It seems that junior sister really likes to eat tangerines."
Zhou Xiaoyi nodded lightly and put another piece of fruit into her mouth.
The delicate mandible trembled slightly, and then said: "This kind of green mandarin is good for soaking in water. And the orange petals taste good. Xiaoyi likes the feeling of the juice exploding between her mouth."
Zhao Qing didn't look into her eyes and said, "It tastes really good."
Sensing the subtle change in the woman's attitude, he smiled and said, "If junior sister likes to eat meat, you can come to my house as a guest after you return to the sect."
Zhou Xiaoyi raised her dark eyebrows slightly, and a flash of narrowing flashed between her bloody eyes.
"Zongmen? Xiaoyi is no longer a Danxia disciple, but she won't go back."
The jawline of Zhao Qing's chewing moment stopped and he was a little confused.
This sentence sounds so familiar.
Isn’t this what Xie Yihan said just now?
She left the Danxia Sect because Pei Jin was there...
What are you doing?
I’m no longer a disciple of Danxia. Didn’t you ask me to call you junior sister last time?
Zhao Qing asked doubtfully: "How do you say this? It makes me a little confused."
Zhou Xiaoyi thought for a moment, then took out two more green tangerines and peeled them.
Said: "Xiaoyi and Zhao Keqing have an agreement with each other, so there is nothing that cannot be said."
The bloodshot eyes in the woman's eyes faded slightly, and she looked at Zhao Qing.
Eyes facing each other.
"I came to Danxia Sect actually to get a prescription for elixir."
Zhao Qing frowned and asked for a prescription?
"What prescription?"
Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head slightly and said: "A prescription for detoxification is in the hands of the master. I thought that it would be easy to obtain it as a direct descendant, but I never thought that I had never even seen the master's face."
You haven't even seen the leader, so what are you doing after leaving the sect?
Zhao Qing was a little confused.
But the next moment, the other party's cold words flashed through his mind again.
He was suddenly startled.
This feeling of finding out other people's secrets...
It's over.
I was so screwed.
I'm in the car again! ?
After being coerced by Pei Jin, he became very sensitive to this kind of thing, and instantly realized what Zhou Xiaoyi wanted to do.
You don’t want me to get the recipe, do you?
He couldn't help but not panic. If it had nothing to do with him, this woman wouldn't tell him.
You also said that we have an agreement with each other, why don't you leave me here for a while?
Zhao Qing pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's a prescription for detoxification. It's okay. Now that Zhou Keqing has left the sect, he can't eat the food cooked by Shu Yue."
Zhou Xiaoyi's watery eyes moved slightly, a little surprised, and she always felt that what she was about to say was interrupted.
This feeling...is really awkward.
She quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Shu Yue is Zhao Keqing's wife, right? What a good name. I guess she is a gentle, virtuous, and smart woman."
Zhao Qing nodded: "She is indeed very docile."
The woman chuckled and said, "Keqing Zhao, aren't you curious about why I left the sect?"
Zhao Qing grinned: "Zhou Keqing must have his own deep meaning!"
Zhou Xiaoyi opened her red lips but said nothing.
He stood up and opened the gauze curtain, then pushed open the window sash.
The warm sunshine of late autumn entered through the window, shining on his lotus-root arms that had just lost their vitality, and the cool breeze stirred up fine dust.
The woman looked at the dead branches outside the window. After a pause, a light flashed in her bloody eyes.
She immediately turned around, walked back to the table, pierced her fingers into the orange, and stopped mentioning the previous topic.
"I am just a casual cultivator in the city now. Zhao Keqing can just call me Xiaoyi."
The cool breeze blew into the compartment, carrying a faint scent of perfume.
It's refreshing yet depressing, paired with the sourness of green orange...
Zhao Qing felt relieved when he noticed that the other party no longer mentioned leaving the sect.
Just...you want me to call you aunt?
Not quite right?
He nodded slightly: "You can just call me Zhao Qing."
The woman nodded lightly and pursed her pink lips with faded blood: "Zhao Qing?"
"It's less of a lot of worldly constraints, which is good."
Zhou Xiaoyi continued: "You came here this time because of Pei Jin?"
Zhao Qing's pupils suddenly shrank.
Adaptive cruise? Precision guidance?
He thought for a moment, then took an orange segment from Zhou Xiaoyi's hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth... without saying a word.
The woman lowered her head and looked at the green tangerine in her hand, and continued: "The Danxia Mountains were sealed a few days ago, which means that the leader has not left seclusion."
"Besides, I can also hear Elder Li's voice."
"If he wants to control the sect, he cannot lead many sects. Without the support of Brother Jiji, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything alone."
"The Dharma Hall is the foundation of the sect. It was originally built by Qian Hongwei. Now Elder Li should be stationed in it."
"The senior brother who settled in the Alchemy Hall... Ma Zhe was the first choice, but he is already dead."
"Senior Brother Hu in the late stage of foundation building has a very close relationship with the head's nephew, which is difficult to control."
"Pei Jin is from the Dan Hall. It makes sense to return to the Dan Hall. Moreover, I have dealt with him and know him well. It is very likely that he will take the initiative to apply to go to the Dan Hall."
She gently raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Qing's expression, then said: "There are only one alchemist in the alchemy hall, so it is inevitable that the sect will teach some disciples from the alchemy workshop."
"But there are vacancies in each hall, and you can only choose from the handymen. If you have this opportunity... you must have been promoted to the Alchemy Hall, which is related to your own cultivation resources."
"If Pei Jin sees you, you should be working for him now."
Zhao Qing frowned: "Why?"
Zhou Xiaoyi breathed slowly, with a smile on her face: "When I first arrived in Danxia, Pei Jin came to visit me. I had a chat with him... This man can be a national scholar!"
"However, I did not accept his recruitment. Pei Jin immediately found another junior fellow apprentice who was slightly less qualified than me."
"Red Spirit Body, Lu Zheng."
Zhao Qing raised his brows lightly. He didn't expect Zhou Xiaoyi to speak so highly of Pei Jin...
Can he be a national scholar?
Then the national treasury should be emptied?
Zhou Xiaoyi continued: "With your alchemy skills, it's impossible for him not to look for you when he gets to the alchemy hall."
"As soon as you deliver the Qi Gathering Pill, Pei Jin will come to your door immediately."
"This person is very greedy, but it's okay. Elder Li will not hinder his actions."
Zhao Qing's tense mind slowly relaxed.
It turns out that your guess was not that accurate...
It was not me that Pei Jin was looking for, but Pei Jin that I was looking for.
Didn't you expect that?
Zhou Xiaoyi's cold eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she sighed: "But..."
Zhao Qing frowned: "But what?"
The woman glanced at the casserole on the table and said: "But with his talent, he cannot find the elixir for me. The only person from the Danxia Sect who can get the elixir is the chief of the alchemy hall appointed by the head!"
Zhao Qing:......
It's all over...
Just as he was thinking about what to say, Zhou Xiaoyi continued to speak.
"Right now, the master has not come out of seclusion, and the future chief of the Dan Hall is in front of me, so Danxia Sect... Xiaoyi doesn't need to go anymore."
Zhao Qing lowered his head and sighed slightly.
Unexpectedly, I only said a few words and the other party took it in.
"Are you so sure I can get it?"
Zhou Xiaoyi pushed the casserole in front of her: "Your Qi Gathering Pill is stronger than Master Wu's. Was it made in a casserole?"
Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows and felt extremely comfortable in his heart.
Of course my elixir was refined using an elixir furnace!
Within a month of awakening the panel, I had already used the alchemy furnace.
And Zhou Xiaoyi is the sect that left four months ago...
She has her own treasure flower in her hand, and she should also have Qi Gathering Pill, but the time difference between them is too big.
He raised his head and looked into the woman's beautiful eyes.
He leaned his arms on the table, leaned forward and said with a smile: "Wrong, it was made in an alchemy furnace."
Seeing the surprised expression on the woman in front of him, Zhao Qing felt comfortable all over, and his aura became more solid.
Zhou Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay."
"There is not even one alchemy master out of ten in the sect. With your alchemy skills, it will be easy to ask the master for an alchemy recipe in the future."
She continued: "Xiaoyi has mentioned it before."
"For this, I promise you five things."
Zhao Qing was slightly moved. The prices of three things... five things... have increased?
He thought about it for a while, and if it was true as Zhou Xiaoyi said, it wouldn't be impossible.
but……
He smiled bitterly and said, "No, if it's within my ability, I can get it for you."
"But before that, what if I get into trouble?"
Zhou Xiaoyi nodded: "Xiaoyi can take care of the aftermath for you."
Zhao Qing's eyebrows widened: "How to deal with the aftermath?"
"If you are slow, you will give advice; if you are urgent, you will step forward." The woman took out another green tangerine and played with it in her hand.
Offer advice? Stand up?
Zhao Qingdao: "Pei Jin asked me to make elixirs for the Zidan Pavilion. The alchemy sect will give me 50% of the spiritual stone."
Zhou Xiaoyi didn't have any surprises and said calmly: "It's feasible. Pei Jin has the ability, so there's no need to worry."
"But he probably won't summon you directly. If he does, you can discuss it with me."
Zhao Qing said again: "What if we get into big trouble? Foundation building, Golden Pill, how can you stand up?"
The woman frowned and threw the tangerine petal in her hand to Zhao Qing.
"If things are urgent, we can leave Danxia first when the time comes."
"If we really run into big trouble..."
She hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Zhao promised to get a prescription for Xiaoyi, so Xiaoyi should step forward."
"If there is a big disaster, Xiaoyi has a road leading to the sky and is willing to lead you to join hands."
Zhao Qing thought and cheered up.
Tongtian Avenue?
What I am taking now is the Tongtian Avenue!
"What kind of Tongtian Avenue? Can you elaborate?"
The woman's cold eyes flashed, and she looked at Zhao Qing for a moment: "If you reach for the stars and step on the moon, you can reach the sky."
…
Reach for the stars, step on the moon, and reach the sky.
Pick six! ?
Even though I have a panel, I dare not blow it so hard. What are you talking about?
He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose and joked: "Which storybook is this story recorded in?"
The woman's body leaned forward again, her red lips parted slightly: "It is recorded in the genealogy of the Duke of Chu Kingdom."
The Duke's Mansion...
Zhao Qing looked at the handsome Qiongbi in front of him and retreated slightly.
He thought for a moment and moved his butt behind him.
The Duke's Mansion?
The Changsheng Sword Sect has been suppressing the Chu Kingdom for thirty years, and the ordinary royal family has not changed for thirty years.
Duke surnamed Zhou...
Zhao Qing understood where Zhou Xiaoyi came from.
He cupped his hands and chuckled: "Zhao Qing is rude in front of the prime minister's daughter."
Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head slightly: "You don't need to worry about mundane things. I have already figured out this path, so you can rest assured."
call……
Zhao Qing felt much more relaxed.
I have been worried about refining elixirs for Zidan Pavilion before, but now it seems that it may not be a big problem.
But I can't fully trust Zhou Xiaoyi, she also makes mistakes sometimes.
The preparations that need to be made still need to be made.
If you encounter any problems in the future, it will be much easier if you have the daughter of the current prime minister to advise you.
As for the prescription?
Not to mention that the leader has not yet come out of seclusion, even if he does, it will be a long time before he becomes the chief of the alchemy hall.
And the Avenue to Heaven she mentioned...
Zhao Qing's eyes flashed. Wouldn't it be a great way to reach heaven if he cultivated with the best water spirit root?
It’s so great!
For the first time, he had the idea of teasing the woman in front of him.
He has a careful mind, excellent talents and qualifications, and his appearance is even more extraordinary... The main reason is that now he seems to have an opportunity, so he won't be unable to start.
Thinking about this matter, Shu Yue would be very concerned about it.
Zhou Xiaoyi looked at the man in front of her and asked doubtfully: "But is there anything you don't understand?"
"have!"
Zhao Qing nodded.
"Xiaoyi, the Tongtian Avenue you mentioned is recorded in the genealogy of the Duke's Mansion?"
The woman nodded slightly.
"Isn't it because he entered the Duke's mansion?" Zhao Qing said in surprise.
Zhou Xiaoyi's cold eyes narrowed, she smiled and shook her head.
"Xiaoyi only follows her heart when it comes to Taoist companions."
"If you don't agree with your heart, even if the other party is a Golden Core cultivator, you won't be willing to commit yourself."
Zhao Qing nodded, crossed his fingers across her palm, and took the orange from her hand.
"What if we are of the same mind?"
The woman glanced down at her delicate hands, raised her head and smiled: "Zhao Qing."
"I'm afraid you can't get the elixir until you build the foundation. Before that, Xiaoyi has been in Danxia City."
"If you can make me willing to be your concubine, Xiaoyi will be extremely impressed!"
Zhao Qing met the woman's eyes and looked at each other for a moment, her eyes full of sincerity.
It's as if the person who can take her down hasn't been born yet.
Zhao Qing lowered his head and sighed.
I'm not good at cultivation, but I don't want to talk about my partner.
Usually people with symptoms like yours have a love brain, and you are probably useless.
He smiled bitterly: "What can I do?"
The woman's phoenix eyes turned: "Do you have the forging magic elixir that you personally refined?"
Zhao Qing shook his head directly: "No, let's talk about it next month."
He stood up and prepared to leave.
"My wife wants to see you. Is it in the sect or in the city?"
Zhou Xiaoyi raised her eyebrows: "Don't you ask me if you want to meet me?"
Zhao Qing lowered his head, picked up the only half of an orange left on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.
He said vaguely: "I know you should meet, so let me ask you, do you want to meet?"
The woman's pretty face was slightly cold: "Why are we meeting?"
Zhao Qing put away the orange peels, crossed his palms across the table, placed the peels on the corner of the table, and said, "Of course I'll let her see it first, and then I'll consider whether to invite you to travel with me."
"If my wife is not satisfied, there is no need for me to waste this energy."
Zhou Xiaoyi fell silent after hearing the wild words in her ears.
have a look? Traveling together? consider? satisfy? A waste of energy?
She stood up and picked up the peel from the corner of the table, took out her handkerchief and wiped the table.
"On the day of frost, I saw you in Xifang."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly: "Okay, bring me some oranges."
"Orange?" Zhou Xiaoyi calmed down and looked at Zhao Qing with raised eyebrows.
Zhao Qingdao: "It's just a tangerine fruit. It's called orange in my hometown."
The woman's face trembled, slightly annoyed.
She thought for a while and took out five green oranges from the storage ring.
Zhao Qing didn't say anything, just took it in his hand, turned around and peeled the tangerine fruit while pushing the door open.
Disappeared into the corridor.
The cold woman was left with a frosty face, frowning and staring at the empty corridor.
