Sanya, Yalong Bay
In the already freezing winter months in the north, Hainan Island, a tropical province, is still as hot as summer. Even in the early morning, the hot and humid temperature makes people who go for morning jogs and dog walks on the beach wear cool clothes.
Zhang Qingqing was sitting alone in an open-air restaurant in the resort wearing sunglasses. She was wearing denim shorts and high-heeled sandals, and her two snow-white legs shone like brocade. The upper body is wearing a short T-shirt that is currently popular. The hem of the shirt is tied with a bow outside the T-shirt, playfully revealing a small white waist. Very few girls in mainland China dare to try this kind of clothing. , but almost every young girl in this tropical province has one.
Zhang Qingqing didn't expect Wang Shen to be able to break through Foundation Establishment so quickly. This guy's cultivation speed cannot be measured by normal people's standards. He is really lucky that he was adopted by him. If he was cultivated by evil people, wouldn't the earth be destroyed by him? In hand?
When Zhang Qingqing returned to her room last night, she fell into deep self-blame. She didn't prepare a decent Christmas gift for him, but she still lost her temper when others gave him gifts. Now that he has established a foundation, December 31st is his birthday again, so he must not miss out on birthday gifts. I originally wanted to buy him a pair of Adidas or a game console, but this guy actually built a foundation, so a spiritual sword was indispensable. I remember when she had just successfully transformed, Kan Xiazi gave her the "rainbow" that she had prepared for a long time.
The Rainbow Sword was personally refined by Chu Wuya, the elder of the unknown generation in the Nanhai Sword Island at that time. Xia Zi took the hair from Zhang Qingqing, who was still a little white fox, and gave it to Chu Wuya along with the divine steel mother. Elder Chu spent ten days and ten nights of work and devoted his life's efforts to practice this beautiful sword. When the true energy is poured into the sword and wielded, the colorful light shines out of thin air. Zhang Qingqing still remembers how excited she was the moment she got the rainbow. The sword was as beautiful as a dream, and the resonance that only she could feel, and the feeling of becoming one with the sword after taking it into the house. I still vividly remember how she jumped up and got into her mother's arms and kissed her face while she was still speaking fluently, regardless of the fact that she was no longer a little fox but a big girl...
Zhang Qingqing called Li Qianren early in the morning and said that he wanted to order a spirit sword for Wang Shen as an 8th birthday gift for him.
Li Qianren was a little surprised at first when she received Zhang Qingqing's call, but before she could speak, she guessed that she was going to ask him to arrange for the refining of the fairy sword. After all, most of the cultivators who come to their sword island order swords, but when he asked when the child's birthday was, Zhang Qingqing's answer made Li Qianren a little embarrassed.
"Five days later, December 31 of the Gregorian calendar." Zhang Qingqing replied awkwardly.
The refining of a high-quality spirit sword requires extremely fine craftsmanship, the refining steps are extremely complicated, and the defective rate is extremely high. The normal cycle for a master to successfully create a weapon in the fusion or tribulation period is more than two months. Now that Zhang Qingqing wants to produce a divine spiritual sword in five days, how can Li Qianren not be embarrassed?
Li Qianren is the head of the contemporary Nanhai Sword Island, and his master is Qu Wuwei, the previous head of the Sword Island. Chu Wuya, who refined the Rainbow Sword for Zhang Qingqing, is Qu Wuwei's junior brother. Li Qianren entered the Mahayana stage more than a hundred years earlier than Zhang Qingqing. He has long been an immortal who has jumped out of the Three Realms. He rarely interferes with things on the island. If Zhang Qingqing is not too anxious at the moment, he really doesn't want to trouble him.
"Huh?" Li Qianren thought he heard it wrong, but Zhang Qingqing clearly stated the Gregorian date again, and he was sure that he heard it right. For a moment, rejecting was neither rejecting nor rejecting, so he could only say "ah".
"I'm really too anxious. I know this request is ridiculous. It's all my fault for not preparing a fairy sword for him in advance. The main reason is that I really didn't expect that he would build the foundation so quickly... I will give you any money! Brother Qianren!" Zhang Qingqing! He begged with tears in his eyes.
Li Qianren smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, girl Qingqing! No one in the world dares to give you a guarantee of making a divine sword in five days, not even Qianfeng and I. Maybe the success rate will be higher if we join forces." But you can't touch Qianfeng, so I have to do it myself!" In five days, if the mold is formed in one go, it will be fine, but what will happen once scrapped products are produced? Zhang Qingqing's personality and appearance have been unparalleled since her debut. Countless male disciples from various sects have been attracted by her. She is worthy of being recognized as a princess-like figure among their generation, even those who are younger than her or even The male disciples who are one generation younger have always responded to her requests. Although each of them now has a high status and status, she begged him, and it was not easy to refuse her love for this little sister, whether it was due to sect friendship or personal favor.
Zhang Qingqing was overjoyed and said: "I knew Brother Qianren wouldn't leave me alone!"
Li Qianren said: "Then you are coming over now?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Yeah! I'll leave right away. Where can we meet?"
Li Qianren said: "Don't go to the island. Meeting Tang Ling would be terrible. Let's meet in Sanya. The newly built Yalong Bay in Sanya is very beautiful. My grandson and granddaughter often take their children to play there."
"Okay, I'll see you in Yalong Bay later." Zhang Qingqing hung up the phone briskly as a big stone fell to his heart.
Yuqi Caiyi arrived in Sanya soon after he disappeared. After Zhang Qingqing landed, he scanned his consciousness and knew that Li Qianren had landed not far away and was walking towards here. She found an open-air restaurant that was open in the morning and sat down, ordered a glass of juice and sipped it while admiring the sea view in the morning.
At their level of cultivation, there is no need to agree on a specific location, because they can accurately find each other with their aura from hundreds of miles away.
A dark-skinned man walked towards Zhang Qingqing from a short distance away. Zhang Qingqing stood up with a smile and greeted the man: "Brother Qianren!"
Li Qianren looks to be in his early thirties and has a strong build. He is wearing a printed short-sleeved shirt, beach shorts and pure white sneakers. If you didn't look at his eyes that emitted a faint golden light, others would think that he was a company executive who insisted on fitness.
"Hey, sister Qingqing, how many years have we not seen each other? Seventy or eighty years, right?" Li Qianren's voice was rich and solid. He walked far away and said to Zhang Qingqing with a smile. He walked closer and pointed at the chair and said: "Sit down quickly. Sit down quickly, why are you still standing up?"
After the two sat down, Li Qianren continued to smile and said: "If you hadn't asked me to practice swords, would you have broken off our relationship with your brother Qianren?"
Zhang Qingqing blushed and said: "It is true that we are all busy and have less and less contact, especially now that we have phone calls. I am actually very embarrassed this time. I know you are semi-retired, so I am still here to cause trouble." you."
Li Qianren laughed loudly and said: "Why do you say such a thing! The older a person is, the more he thinks about it! She is not the crazy girl who came to change the hilt of the sword today and adjust the color tomorrow!"
Zhang Qingqing blushed and stamped her feet: "That was hundreds of years ago! You still mention it!"
Back then, along with the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Zhimian, who haunted Zhang Qingqing, also died. After Xu Zhimian's death, Zhang Qingqing had a mental breakdown and continued to seek death and survival. Her mother saw that Xia Zi could ascend to the fairy world, but she was really worried about her little daughter, so she forced her cultivation to stay with her in the mortal world.
Immediately after the Battle of the Himalayas broke out, both Zhang Qingqing and her eldest daughter Zhang Qianqian were attacked by demons and seriously injured. Kan Xiazi gave Zhang Qingqing the only eighth-level Jianshe Pill to take, but Zhang Qianqian was seriously injured and died. Zhang Qingqing was even more worried about this. Countless self-blames and regrets.
As soon as this incident came out, Kan Xia Zi was so sad that he didn't dare to leave her and fly away. He stayed at Kan Xia Ding to accompany her for nearly a hundred years. After repeatedly confirming that Zhang Qingqing was completely back to normal, Kan Xia Zi felt relieved and ascended to the fairy world. Zhang Qingqing also started to new life.
After her mother ascended to the throne, Zhang Qingqing began to feel depressed again, and her temper became wild and unruly. Fortunately, the elders of various factions who were the same generation as her mother loved her as a beautiful niece and felt pity for her, so Zhang Qingqing was very perverse and willful for a while.
Just by going to Sword Island in the South China Sea, she caused a lot of "trouble" for others.
She felt that the hilt of Rainbow's sword was uncomfortable to hold, so she came to Nanhai alone and asked for a replacement hilt. After a while, he came over and said, "The green awns are slightly narrower and the purple awns are slightly wider. I want them to be equally wide." Qu Wuwei, the head of Jiandao, loved his little niece very much, even though he knew that she Although she was being troubled, she still responded to her requests and asked her proud disciple Li Qianren to receive this unruly little princess. Li Qianren is an honest and sincere person, and although Zhang Qingqing's requirements are harsh, he does his best to meet them one by one. The process required to deal with the problem of the width of colored light is extremely complex. Li Qianren was unable to do it alone, so he called his junior brother Gu Qianfeng, the leader of the sect, to help. It was also during this period that Zhang Qingqing met Gu Qianfeng.
When Li Qianren saw that Zhang Qingqing's pretty face turned red with anger, he stopped joking with her and changed the subject: "It's not me who's putting on airs that doesn't let you go to the island, but Tang Ling... you know it."
Zhang Qingqing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qianren, as I know, back then... ugh!" He shook his head and was silent for a while before asking, "Are they two pretty good?"
Li Qianren said: "That's great! We have always been very affectionate, but now Tang Ling has the final say on everything in his family and even on the island. She is willing to take charge of things! Fortunately, she does not care about the students' training or the sword-making business on the island. Everything was done well, so I just didn’t care and let her do it by herself. Qianfeng basically told her not to go east or west, hahahaha!" After saying that, he laughed, obviously I often laugh at my junior brother who is a strict wife.
Zhang Qingqing also laughed heartily and said: "It's pretty good too."
Li Qianren said: "Come! Let's talk about business. You want it so urgently. After that, I have to go back and take action!"
Zhang Qingqing picked up the bag from the ground and took out a piece of divine steel and a small glass bottle. In the glass bottle was a black hair.
Li Qianren saw the piece of divine steel mother that was the size of a sea bowl and said, "How can we use so much! Nine pounds, nine taels and nine dollars, too much will overflow!"
Zhang Qingqing said: "You can keep the rest. This piece was left by my mother. Only ten kilograms were cut into the middle to make red sleeves for Xiangxiang. There is no use keeping the rest with me!"
Li Qianren picked up the small glass bottle again and asked, "Is this the child's hair?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Yes, I quietly pulled it out on his head this morning."
Li Qianren said: "Okay! There is no difference. How about you come and get it on the morning of the 31st? I won't delay you and give it to him in the evening. Also give me some more time to think carefully. I'm afraid that if the refinement is scrapped, it will delay your work." thing."
Zhang Qingqing thanked him happily. The two stood up and were about to say goodbye. Zhang Qingqing hesitated and said: "Brother Qianren, relationships are relationships, and business is business. I can't let you make a sword for me in vain."
Li Qianren refused to ask for money no matter what, Zhang Qingqing grabbed him and said she would never let him go unless he gave her his card number.
Li Qianren said: "I don't remember the bank card number! I don't have it with me!"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Then either I go to the island to ask sister-in-law Xiutong in person, or you call sister-in-law and ask her to report the card number to me!"
Li Qianren had no choice but to call his wife Yi Xiutong. Yi Xiutong went to the disciple in charge of finance before reporting the card number to Zhang Qingqing.
Before leaving, Li Qianren pointed at Zhang Qingqing and said, "It hasn't changed at all! She's still the same crazy girl!"
