Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Zhao Qing did not hesitate at all. He immediately sat cross-legged and took the new marrow cleansing pill.

Perhaps because I had just taken one, the effect was not as obvious this time, but I could still feel the changes in my body.

The medicinal properties were driven by the spiritual energy and flowed throughout his body. Zhao Qing vaguely felt that he had become more sensitive to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

If the muscles and bones of the human body are a wooden house, then the coccyx is equivalent to the base of the entire house, rising from the waist and supporting the entire body.

In addition, nourishing yang and essence begins at the coccyx. Therefore, there are many secret recipes in the secular world that start from the coccyx to regulate the primordial yang essence.

Spiritual energy gushed out from the dantian and rushed down to the tailbone. Since the marrow cleansing pill made up for the lack of bones above and below the dragon spine, there were not too many obstacles in this breakthrough.

In the middle stage of Qi Refining, everything will come naturally.

"call!"

Zhao Qing slowly opened his eyes and clearly felt that his control over the spiritual power in his body had improved a step further. He could even vaguely see into some of his meridians, which was amazing.

Is this the middle stage of Qi Refining?

If I had known that taking a marrow cleansing pill would allow me to break through, I would have saved up spirit stones to buy it a long time ago...

Zhao Qing sighed slightly. This was how cultivation was. Without a master to guide him, he could only rely on himself to explore. If he hadn't seen the meaning of the marrow cleansing pill, he would never have known, even if he racked his brains, that there were so many details between the various levels of Qi Refining.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

I'm afraid that most of the casual cultivators in the world don't understand the key point. They only know how to accumulate spiritual energy to break through the barriers, and their realm depends entirely on talent.

Wang Shuyue had been staying by her husband's side the entire time. When she saw him open his eyes, she asked joyfully, "Did my husband succeed in breaking through?"

Zhao Qing nodded with a smile.

He didn't know if it was because of his emotional fluctuations, but when he looked at his wife, he felt physically uncomfortable and unusually energetic.

"Shuyue, maybe you won't need to make wolfberry water anymore..."

Wang Shuyue's pretty face flushed red, and she ran away quickly to the outer hall to cook.

Zhao Qing stood up and looked himself carefully. The dirt he imagined did not appear. He was puzzled for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile with relief.

"In my previous life, when I read vernacular novels, I always saw scenes like cleansing the marrow and bones, expelling impurities from the body, and being covered in black mud.

Now it seems like it's complete nonsense. So can you lose three or five pounds by taking a shower?

Stories are just stories after all!"

Zhao Qing carefully felt the differences in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and soon his wife had prepared the meal.

After a simple meal and washing up, the window coffin was covered with a veil.

The candlelight flickered dimly.

Wang Shuyue sang softly like a priest of an ancient tribe.

The next moment, a slightly trembling cry was heard.

The forest is dark and the grass is startled by the wind, the general draws his bow at night!

Perhaps it was because of the breakthrough in realm, Zhao Qing was full of firepower under the blessing of spiritual energy.

Towards the end of the battle, his wife's voice became a little hoarse, and her eyes were watery as she looked at him lovingly.

The flowers shed tears when they feel sad, and the birds are frightened when they are separated.

In the end, General Zhao Qing entrusted his millions of children to his lovely wife, escorting them all the way to the warm bedroom.

Two days later, early morning.

Zhao Qing stood up, packed up briefly, and took a quick look at the results of the past two days.

[Alchemist: Beginner-level mid-grade (430/500)]

[Single Experience: 5+5]

[Bond: Intimacy]

[Bond Experience Bonus: 5]

In another seven days, I will be able to break through to the alchemy realm...

Zhao Qing did not disturb his wife who was still in a sweet dream and went straight out of the house.

He wanted to take advantage of the routine inspection by the inner sect brothers to go straight back to the mountain gate from the South Square, check the situation in the kitchen, and find out how the sect resolved the Shouyun Mountain issue.

I set out at noon, and walked along a street that ran from north to south... I shouldn't encounter any calamity cultivators, right?

Ever since he saw the body in the bushes that night, Zhao Qing had serious doubts about the security environment in Danxia City.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. It is better to go out less.

After not going out for a few days, Zhao Qing found that there were fewer independent cultivators in the city, which meant that more and more people were going to hunt monsters.

He shook his head slightly. If he hadn't married, perhaps he would have joined them?

For casual cultivators who don't have any special skills, hunting monsters has become one of the fastest ways to make money.

Without giving it too much thought, what he cared about more at the moment was how the sect dealt with Shouyun Mountain.

If there is already a solution, then the task of chopping wood will definitely continue, and I don’t know how many pounds of wood I owe.

Zhao Qing was not worried at all that he would be expelled from Huozaofang if he gave up. After all, Wang Teng was still receiving his minimum living allowance, so he would let him off even for the sake of his own interests.

However, when Zhao Qing returned to the sect and came to the kitchen, he was speechless at the scene before him.

Disciples in groups of three or two were carrying the corpses of wild beasts, some of which were weaker monsters, and the spiritual energy emitted was very mixed.

They talked and laughed, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of the harvest.

Zhao Qing even spotted quite a few familiar faces from the Spiritual Mine. Most of them were tall, dark-skinned, and easy to tell apart. They were all laughing and dragging various animal carcasses as they headed towards the mine.

An outer sect disciple on duty shouted, "Everyone, hurry up! There are fewer and fewer demonic beasts out there. Don't let those wandering cultivators take advantage of you!"

"This afternoon, I'm also going into the mountains. I need a few people to help me. You guys will definitely get some benefits!"

Zhao Qing stood alone, disheveled in the wind.

Everyone was so busy and energetic that no one paid any attention to him.

Zhao Qing only saw one word: volume!

I originally thought that the independent cultivators in the city were already quite aggressive, but I didn't expect that the one right next door to my house was even more aggressive than them...

The next moment, he scratched his head in confusion. Wasn't there a Golden Core Demon King? Where was the Golden Core Demon King?

Where is the demon king?

Are you just going into the mountains to hunt monsters like this? Doesn't the Golden Core Monster King have any respect?

With a quick glance, Zhao Qing caught an acquaintance.

Zhang Qiuyang of Dancaofang.

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Qiuyang, who was wandering in the kitchen, heard someone calling his name. After seeing who it was, he immediately smiled.

He began waving from a distance, and then came quickly closer.

"Brother Zhao! Long time no see. Haven't you found a team yet? I already have three here, and my sister is recruiting people elsewhere. Do you want to join us?"

Zhao Qing: ...

What is this all about?

"Junior Brother Zhang, I've been out for the past few days. Wasn't there a Golden Core Demon King on Shouyun Mountain? Why is this still...?"

Zhang Qiuyang waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "That was all a few days ago. It was just a rumor in the city. Elder Qian has already gone into the mountains to check, and there are no so-called Golden Core Realm monsters."

"rumor?"

"Right! And Brother Zhao, you came back too late. There was some activity on the mountain a few nights ago, but it's been quiet for the past two days. Once all the monsters on the outskirts are snatched away, who knows how long it will take for us to encounter something like this again!"

Zhang Qiuyang extended another warm invitation: "Junior sister is here! How about Senior Brother Zhao, would you like to join us?"

Zhao Qing: ...

"Don't go."
