Xu Xiangying stood in the courtyard and was stunned speechless when he saw Liu Qingyi kill two men in black in an instant.
The woman's face turned pale, she looked at Liu Qingyi and said, "You...are you that Brother Liu?"
Liu Qingyi raised his hand to put the little civet into the ring, glanced at Xu Xiangying, and said to the woman, "How do you know?"
The woman looked happy and said: "Lao Xu has mentioned to me many times that you have taken good care of him at the door. Thank you brother for coming in time this time, otherwise... Lao Xu and I would have..."
"How can I take care of him if my sister-in-law says anything?" Liu Qingyi glanced at Xu Xiangying as he spoke, "It's enough to stop being deceived by him a few times."
Xu Xiangying said with a slight embarrassment: "Junior brother, this... this matter between me and your sister-in-law will only bring harm to the sect's face, and even more likely to cause junior brother to blame me. In order to deceive others, I did not tell the truth. I ask for your forgiveness, junior brother." "As he spoke, he took off his cymbal orchid clothes, handed it over to the nearest man and said, "Junior brother, I'll give this back to you. It's because I can't forgive you."
"Who wants you to pay me back? You can keep this from now on. It will be easier to come and go. What happened to these two people just now?" Liu Qingyi walked up to the man in black who was lying on the ground, stretched out his toes and kicked The cloth covering on his face was removed, and a pale face appeared in front of several people.
When Xu Xiangying saw Liu Qingyi not picking up the cymbal Lanyi, he quickly retracted his hand and took it back. He turned to look at the man in black on the ground and let out a light sigh. He took a few steps forward to take a closer look, but his eyes suddenly shrank and he said in surprise: "It's actually Heiwa's person?!"
"Who is Hei Wa?" Liu Qingyi asked.
"This is the person who sold me the source map of the spiritual grass. I didn't expect that he would send someone to hang my string." Xu Xiangying looked in disbelief.
The woman next to her said flatly: "Hey, Brother Ying, I told you not to believe those lies, but now it's better to attract the thief directly to the door."
Liu Qingyi glanced at Xu Xiangying and said in an incomprehensible tone: "So it's you who caused the trouble yourself. You are indeed capable."
"It shouldn't be. How could Heiwa do this?" Xu Xiangying muttered to himself, still somewhat disbelieving.
"What's that person's background?" Liu Qingyi's eyes flickered.
"Hei Wa's real name is Liu Weizong. Because of his dark skin, everyone calls him Liu Hei Wa. He is a disciple of the Xiaoxian Sect in the Beast Spirit County. I have dealt with him several times. This person has always treated our Heavenly Beasts The disciples are very respectful." Xu Xiangying explained.
"Respectful? You are indeed very respectful." Liu Qingyi laughed, reached out to take the storage bag from the waist of the man in black, hit the corpse with a finger of spiritual flame, and soon it burned into ashes. A lump of ash.
He held the storage bag, poured his energy into it, looked at it for a few breaths, and then threw it to Xu Xiangying and said: "Keep this storage bag, we will talk about the source map of the spiritual grass later. I'm asking you, how could this happen? Did you find a place like this for your sister-in-law? This place is out of the way."
Xu Xiangying took the storage bag and sighed softly: "This place is more secretive, and it can also prevent people inside the door from discovering it."
"Are you so afraid? Who dares to talk to you in the future, I will take care of you. You and your sister-in-law move to the city immediately. This house is far away from the surrounding residents. Although it is considered private, it is not very safe." Liu Qingyi It was already arranged directly by Yue Zu.
Xu Xiangying had a bitter look on his face when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "Junior brother, the house outside the city can be purchased with only yuan coins, but the houses in the county city cost a lot of spirit yuan stones."
The woman also refused and said, "Don't bother, I'm used to living here."
"You are serious, I killed someone in this courtyard today, do you think you can still live here?" Liu Qingyi said, looking at Xu Xiangying and said: "Take your sister-in-law into the city immediately and buy a house. I'll give you the Spiritual Essence Stone. I really can't figure it out. I gave you a lot of Spirit Essence Stones a few times ago, how did you spend them?"
The woman sighed and said: "Brother Liu, don't blame Xiang Ying. As soon as he got the Ling Yuan Stone, he bought the source map. How could he save half of the Ling Yuan Stone in the past few years?"
After hearing the words, Liu Qingyi pondered for a long time, then went into the house and took out three thousand spiritual essences from the spirit ring. He called Xu Xiangying and said: "That man still has more than three hundred spiritual essence stones in his storage bag. With these, it should be It’s enough for you to buy a house in the city. I want you to hire a few maidservants and take care of it. Firstly, my sister-in-law will have someone to serve me, and secondly, I will have a place to stay in the city."
Xu Xiangying was already staring blankly at the Lingyuan Stones piled up in the room, his eyes turned red, and he said with a smile: "Junior Brother, you..."
"That's it. I'll give you one day to finish this matter. I'll come down from the peak tomorrow and take care of the spiritual grass source map for you." Liu Qingyi explained briefly, then closed his eyes and sat in the main room to wait. stand up.
After Xu Xiangying and the woman packed up and went out, Liu Qingyi sent them all the way to the gate of Beicheng, told Xu Xiangying to wait here the next day, and then returned to the mountain gate alone.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Qingyi first went to Chongming Hall for a walk, then descended from Miaoyuan Peak and headed straight to Beast Spirit City.
Arriving at the gate of Beicheng, seeing Xu Xiangying already waiting there, Liu Qingyi smiled and said, "Pocai, are things done?"
"You come with me." Xu Xiangying said and took Liu Qingyi with him, and walked all the way to the east of the city, passing through dozens of streets, and came to the door of a tall house. Several servants nodded and bowed to greet him.
Liu Qingyi stood at the door of the house and looked around. He found that the house was not far from the towering palaces of the city lord's palace, only three or four streets away. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "This location is chosen well. .”
Xu Xiangying chuckled and led him sideways, surrounded by several servants, and walked all the way into the courtyard.
When you first enter it, you can see the winding layout of corridors and halls, mostly painted in sandalwood color, with blue and green carvings on the eaves, beams and corners, surrounded by rockeries on both sides. There are green trees, green ponds and pavilions everywhere in the courtyard. The interior layout is both Simple and elegant, yet noble and elegant.
Liu Qingyi stopped to look at it from time to time, feeling that it was extremely pleasing to the eyes. As he walked to the middle hall, he saw several young maids carrying a woman to greet him. It was Xu Xiangying, the woman he liked.
"Brother Liu, thank you very much this time." The woman's face was slightly pale, but she looked happy. Thanks to the person in front of her, it was as if the world had changed in one day. She almost thought it was a dream.
Liu Qingyi looked at the wind-stained woman in front of her, feeling sour for no reason in her heart, and replied: "Sister-in-law, why do you need to say thank you? I have followed Senior Brother Xu since I first entered the family, and we have an irreversible friendship. There is no need to mention this." After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Xiangying and asked, "Have you asked my sister-in-law about Gao's surname?"
Without waiting for the woman to answer, Xu Xiangying slapped his forehead, pointed at the woman and said, "I was confused. I didn't have time to introduce it to my junior brother yesterday. This is my wife, her surname is Xiao, and her name is Hongmei. She followed me all the way from Bolian County. Alas. , but I haven’t enjoyed a single day of happiness, this time I have to rely on my junior brother.”
Liu Qingyi nodded slightly and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law Xiao is tired. Please go back to the house and rest first. Senior brother and I will have a conversation here. I don't need to trouble you to accompany me."
After Xiao Hongmei went back to the inner room to rest, Liu Qingyi and Xu Xiangying sat down on either side of the table in the hall. The maids had already served them with fragrant tea, fruits, etc.
"This house is well built. How much spirit stone did it cost?" Liu Qingyi asked casually.
"The house in this area is really ridiculously expensive. It has cost more than 1,300 Spiritual Essence Stones. These are the remaining 2,000 Spirit Essence Stones. I would like to ask Junior Brother to take a look." Xu Xiangying said. He took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it over.
Liu Qingyi glanced at it, raised a hand but did not take it. He took the fragrant tea on the table and took a sip. He glanced at the tea swirl floating in the tea bowl and said in a concentrated voice: "These Spiritual Essence Stones, what are you doing?" Keep the flowers for use, don’t worry if you don’t have enough.”
Xu Xiangying shook his hands when he heard this, glanced at Liu Qingyi with a slightly complicated expression, and finally put the storage bag back.
Liu Qingyi pondered for a while, then turned around and said, "Senior brother, show me the source map of the spiritual grass."
Xu Xiangying nodded, took out a thin scroll from the spirit ring and handed it over.
Liu Qingyi took it and glanced at it, and saw a route map drawn on a piece of animal skin, filled with densely packed small characters. He glanced at it for a while, and then murmured: "Huang Chaan" City, Huangchaan Canyon." He turned to look at Xu Xiangying and said, "Senior brother, what is that place?"
"A large city in the west of Beast Spirit County, bordering the Great Wilderness and the Western Border, is not too close to Beast Spirit City." Xu Xiangying replied.
"Yesterday you said that the person who gave you this picture was the one who sent someone to rob you. If you think about it, this picture may not be true." Liu Qingyi threw the animal skin roll in his hand on the case and said with a proud look on his face. : "If you want a life-extending pill, why bother looking for a source map? I'll give you the Spiritual Essence Stone, and you can just go and buy the pill."
"Hey, junior brother, I have also made this idea, but this pill is really hard to find. Not only are the materials difficult to find, but in recent years, few people have refined this thing. I have searched all the pill shops in Beast Spirit City. , I couldn’t find a single one. Hongmei’s illness really couldn’t be delayed, so I just..."
"Okay, needless to say, I probably understand what's going on. How credible is this source picture according to your inference?" Liu Qingyi said impatiently.
"What you don't know is that the Heiwa Liu Weizong who sold me the source map, his sect Daoyan Tan has successively released life-extending pills a few years ago. Since the various cultivators who need this pill simply cannot afford the price, the monks of the sect who can afford it have to pay the price." They didn't need this, so they stopped refining it into elixirs and instead sold the Spiritual Grass Source Diagram. The price of this diagram was much cheaper, and even casual cultivators could afford it, so the market was naturally much wider, and it was actually more expensive than It’s easier to refine the elixir and sell it.”
When Xu Xiangying said this, Liu Qingyi was stunned for a long time and said for a long time: "Then according to your opinion, it seems that this source map is still useful?"
"The source pictures sold by other people are not accurate, but the source pictures produced by Daoyan Tan are still somewhat credible." Xu Xiangying said with a look of memories on his face, "The spiritual grass source pictures sold by Daoyan Tan are not only about the Millennium Jade Sunflower Ginseng. Yes, there are several other types of spiritual grass source maps, and among those casual cultivators who bought the source maps, some of them actually found the spiritual grass and came back."
"Have you found the thousand-year-old jade sunflower ginseng?" Liu Qingyi asked.
"I have never heard of this. I think the monks who collected the thousand-year-old jade sunflower ginseng wanted to use it for themselves, so they refined it into a pill and did not take it out." Xu Xiangying analyzed.
"The thousand-year-old jade sunflower ginseng is used to refine the longevity pill. How many pills can be made in one furnace?" Liu Qingyi asked again.
"It is said that the people I contacted said that the methods of refining the longevity pills are similar for each family. Most of them produce two or three pills in one furnace."
"This is a bit strange. Even if someone collected the thousand-year-old jade sunflower ginseng to make an elixir for his own use, one or two ginseng should be missed." Liu Qingyi's eyes flickered, and he looked at Xu Xiangying and said, "Where is the Yantan Mountain Gate? Where?"
"It's also outside Huangxiang City, but it's not too far away from the Huangxiang Canyon recorded on the source map." Xu Xiang responded.
Liu Qingyi said: "Can the guy who sold you the source map still find someone to sell him?"
Xu Xiangying said: "When I was buying things for the house yesterday, I asked someone to inquire. The Heiwa left the city yesterday and has never come back."
"Hmph, he ran very fast." Liu Qingyi said and asked Xu Xiangying, "The others have also left. What else do you have in mind? Do you want us to come to the door and block him? We can also ask him what's going on."
"I'm afraid Hongmei can't afford to drag her here. Since I have Bo Lanyi with me, I want to go to the Huangchaan Canyon first." Xu Xiangying had a look of determination on his face.
"Do you really want to go? Forget it, I'll go with you and take a look at Huang Nian Canyon first. If you really don't have the thousand-year-old jade sunflower ginseng, I can also find a way to get a life-extending pill. Don't worry about it." Liu Qingyi said calmly. A smile.
Xu Xiangying's lips trembled when he heard this: "Junior brother..."
Some people died, but not completely...
