"Xiuxiang, how are the recent progress? Do you still have enough materials for alchemy?"
Outside the Li family's alchemy room, Wen Xiuxiang, whose belly was slightly bulging, looked at Li Qingfeng and Li Qingdong in front of her with some confusion. She remembered that Li Qingdong mentioned to her that there were foundation-building monks from the Golden Cauldron Sect coming today, so Li Qingfeng went out to meet them... Judging from the appearance of the two people in front of him, they should have finished dealing with it, but how could they find themselves here? ?
She glanced at Li Qingdong. She had indeed complained to her husband about the lack of alchemy materials. She wondered if Li Qingdong had told Li Qingfeng. But no matter what, since the person is here, don't leave easily without agreeing to something. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know how long Li Qingfeng will go into seclusion.
After briefly saluting Li Qingfeng, Wen Xiuxiang replied: "If I use a medium-grade furnace, I can already refine the Qi Gathering Pill. The rate of making the pill is about one to twelve, but the effect is better than what the clan uses." It's quite different, Alan can barely make it, but the elixir-making rate is too low and the quality is very poor, so he still needs to practice more."
At this point, her tone became higher and more urgent. She raised her right hand and counted her fingers for Li Qingfeng: "Speaking of materials, the materials for refining the Qi Gathering Pill were cut off in the clan two months ago. I want to use some common materials to practice, but the commonly used snaketail and yellow-leaf flowers are not even available in these common materials!"
"Brother Qingfeng, alchemy is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you can't practice regularly, your skills will inevitably decline. I know that the clan has been working hard recently, but alchemy is related to the future of the clan, so we can't let it go to waste! You can We have to think of some way, at least get some common materials to save the day, right?"
Wen Xiuxiang came to the Li family more than ten years ago. Now she is pregnant with Li Qingdong's child, and her position in the Li family is quite stable. Besides, she knew Li Qingfeng's character and that he was always easy to talk to his own people, so she poured out her bitterness quickly and urgently. Apparently she had been troubled by this matter for a long time. From the look on her face, it seemed that she was not allowed to leave without leaving a promise.
This couldn't help but make Li Qingfeng smile, thinking that Li Qingdong and his wife were really a good match. But what they said makes sense. After this year of consumption, the clan is indeed short of everything. It seems that I still have to find time to go to Da'anfang City to buy some things for emergencies.
With an idea in mind, he comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already arranged this matter. But you are pregnant now, so you can put your alchemy work aside for a while. Don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Wen Xiuxiang suddenly felt enlightened and couldn't help but glare at Li Qingdong who was standing next to Li Qingfeng, thinking that the root cause is you!
Li Qingdong was not afraid of the glare from her. He just smiled at her, a little coquettishly, and seemed a little proud.
After all, Wen Xiuxiang knew the depth and understood that the two people in front of her were caring about her, so she nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, then I'll pay more attention...but you have to find a way to solve the material issue for me. Otherwise I won’t be able to feel at ease!”
After saying that, she glared at Li Qingdong again, who quickly said: "Don't worry, don't worry."
Li Qingfeng, who was watching the two people's reactions, was amused in his heart. Suddenly he felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay here, so he reached out and patted Li Qingdong on the shoulder: "I'm going back to my hometown first. If anything happens, come see me again."
Then he left without getting caught between the two of them.
It was indeed easier to do things without the light bulb. After Li Qingfeng left, Li Qingdong stepped forward, carefully hugged Wen Xiuxiang, held her hand with one hand, and asked: "How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine. Didn't I tell you earlier..."
Wen Xiuxiang was a little helpless, but also had some sweetness in her heart. She couldn't help rolling her eyes at Li Qingdong, squeezing his hand and sighing: "You...that's all. I'll go and explain to Alan that I won't enter the alchemy room these days." .Didn’t you say you were going to study with Mr. Dong today? You can rest assured now, right?"
Li Qingdong chuckled and replied: "That's not good. I have to send you back so that I can feel at ease, right? You go find Alan first. I'll wait here. Everything that needs to be settled today has been settled, so I don't have much to do." thing."
After a pause, he added: "It just so happens that I remember that Fellow Daoist Dong is giving lectures to the children in the clan today. Let's wait until later. Otherwise, he will talk about it if it disturbs his studies. We will look for him later."
"good!"
Wen Xiuxiang was obviously very happy to hear that her husband wanted to accompany her. She let go of Li Qingdong's hand and walked quickly to the alchemy room. As she walked, she said, "Then I'll go find Alan!"
The person named Dong in their mouth is naturally Dong Zheng. After all, he has been in the Li family for several years. Although this person is a bit pedantic and useless in character, he has always been peaceful and takes teaching seriously. Li Qingdong asked Li Qingfeng to grant him the official teaching position in the Li family last year, and also promoted his well-educated daughter Dong Yu. Became a mortal tutor of the Li family.
The father and daughter, Dong Zheng and Dong Yu, are somewhat similar in character. They are both relatively peaceful people, and all they want is a place where they can live a stable life. After experiencing the previous twists and turns, they were very satisfied with their life of teaching in the Li family, so naturally they readily accepted the appointment.
At present, the Li family's teaching is mainly divided into two parts: monks and mortals. Wen Hong and Dong Zheng are responsible for teaching the monks. The teaching content is very complicated, from reading and literacy, arithmetic, to skill training, fighting skills guidance, and to the world of immortality. Common sense, rules, etc. are all included in their teaching scope.
The mortal part of the teaching is more than that of the monks. For example, there are Li Hetai, Dong Yu, Li Qingning and her husband Li Wei, etc. They are mainly responsible for the clerical teaching of the mortal tribesmen.
Since there are so many mortals under the rule of the Li family, these few teachings are actually far from enough. If you want to bring several mortal villages such as the Li family in Xinan under your rule in the future, you will definitely need more mortal teachings.
Li Qingdong said that he wanted to look for Dong Zheng. In fact, it was not a business matter, but his own private matter. Dong Zheng was a bit timid in character, but for some reason he suited Li Qingdong's taste. Within the first year after arriving at Li's house, the two of them They formed a good personal relationship. This is not the key. The key is that although Dong Zheng's character is a bit cowardly, he is not ambiguous at all in his knowledge and knowledge - he claims that these things were taught to him by his master, and he also He said that he had a senior brother, but they all left when Dong Zheng was about thirty years old. When Li Qingdong asked where he was going, Dong Zheng only shook his head and said he didn't know.
Putting aside these things, Dong Zheng's knowledge is what Li Qingdong valued and yearned for most. Perhaps because of his experience before he ascended to immortality, Li Qingdong was quite obsessed with these things. After dealing with affairs, he often went to Dong Zheng to listen to his talk. Poems, poems, etc., and even the names he gave his children were related to this - if it was a boy, he would give it a single name with the character Confucian, and for a girl, it would be named Ya. No matter which one, it would always be better than his name with the character Dong Come in a nice way.
