Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 173 That Spring

The night in Lanxian Town is a little different from before.

The midsummer heat gradually dissipated under the breeze, and the weeds beside the muddy and narrow path, which had been ravaged by the wind and rain the day before, appeared to be growing more and more lush.

The cicadas' chirping faded away.

Fireflies are dancing above the terraced fields, and the faint light fills the village in front of us. At a glance... it seems that the starry sky seems a lot dimmer.

Zhao Qing stood quietly at the entrance of the town, his eyes sweeping over the new grave in the terraced fields not far away.

Before I left...it was an old grave.

"call……"

Zhao Qing knew in his heart that it must be the older generation in the town who helped bury Wang Deren and his wife together.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts, and his spiritual consciousness probed out of the Niwan Palace, sweeping across the scene in the village.

It was midnight, but every household had lights on, which seemed extremely strange... In the past, everyone would have gone to bed at this time.

An hour ago, he received a message from his aunt.

A cultivator came to Lanxian Town, and it was none other than... the immortal master of Huanyu Pavilion!

Zhao Qing's consciousness stayed in Le Shanren's house for a moment, passed over the cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and then no longer paid attention to him.

It's obvious that this is definitely related to his own affairs. Perhaps Huanyu Pavilion discovered that there were no cultivators staying in this village, so they sent someone here...

He walked slowly along the clear canal towards the north of the town.

I began to think about what I had experienced in the past two days.

The twelfth floor of Yujing... is guarded by Xueyi.

Songshan County, Zhao family.

Every year, you can draw 30% of the profit from the Xueyi Building in Songshanfang...

The Xueyi lineage specializes in attacking with qi and blood, using the Azure Dragon Blood Classic to nourish the heart meridian qi and blood, and gaining the favor of the Azure Dragon's luck.

Those whose souls are imprinted by it can directly advance in the Blood Son Trial...

Si He's tone softened, a rare occurrence, with a hint of hesitation in it: "As I expected, she... is the owner of the Blood Robe Tower! The blood essence you all took is her blood."

Zhao Qing remained silent and did not respond to Si He's speculation.

Instead, he looked up at the seventeen bright stars in the night sky. There seemed to be a trace of blood passing through one of them, appearing inconspicuous among the stars.

The clear channel beside me gurgles and flows tirelessly.

Zhao Qing threw away all the clutter in his mind... and regained his composure, gazing at the lonely courtyard in the north of the town.

He felt that his greatest gain from this trip to the Changsheng Sword Sect wasn't learning these secrets...

As for the blood code practice and the protection of luck, he temporarily suppressed them in his heart.

At this moment, Zhao Qing took a deep breath and then sighed.

After joining the Blood Robe Building, life will be much more comfortable.

I have already reached the first level of foundation building, and my aunt is about to begin to condense her Taoist foundation... Qinghuan has even given birth to spiritual consciousness, and Shuyue is not far from the late stage of Qi Refining.

From now on, my family can live a peaceful and stable life in Songshan.

There is no need to worry about anything. Even if you don’t want to stay in Chu anymore... the world is so big, you can settle down wherever you want.

……

Sensing his aunt's consciousness coming from the courtyard, Zhao Qing revealed a gentle smile.

He did not plan to leave Lanxian Town directly, but planned to accompany Shuyue and Qinghuan for a walk and slowly tell his aunt about the things on the Twelve Floors of Yujing.

After that, I tried to nourish my blood and qi, wrote down the obscure and difficult parts, and went to ask Senior Brother Liu for advice after a few days.

As for Qinghuan's situation, I have to ask her clearly when the time comes... I don't know if she can be considered a disciple of Xueyi, and whether she can accept Xueyi's inheritance.

It won’t be too late to head to Songshanfang after everything is settled.

The apricot-lacquered door opened silently, and a pretty figure appeared in sight.

"Husband!"

Wang Shuyue's bright eyes were filled with concern as she stood at the door waiting...

Seeing the smile on his wife's pretty face, Zhao Qing nodded with a smile, walked slowly into the house, and reached out to pinch her pretty face.

In the courtyard, Qing Huan's delicate head tilted slightly to the side. She raised her slender fingers to comb her long black hair, gazing at herself with the same smile...

"Owner……"

Zhao Qing looked down at his wife's crescent-shaped eyes, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

Over the past five years...things at home have been getting better and better.

I remember when Shuyue first married me, she would wait for me to come home at the door every day with fear, and would occasionally make a fuss, and even cried in frustration several times.

At that time, she was young and weak. If she didn't get home before dark, Shuyue would be frightened...

It's completely different from the current situation.

Now Shuyue can stand on her own two feet. She often goes to Lin'an County for fun. Every day, she practices swordplay and cooks after her daily training...

My aunt's cold voice came from above the eaves: "Are you not hurt?"

Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head, then took Qinghuan into his arms, flew up, and the family of four reached the eaves of the house.

Wang Shuyue's bright eyes swept across her aunt's lonely figure, and a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes.

She raised her pretty face and kissed her husband lightly on the cheek, then threw herself into her aunt's arms.

The night breeze blows gently...

Gu Qinghuan had a smile on her lips, her delicate body curled up in Zhao Qing's arms, her phoenix eyes staring quietly at her master's profile.

Shuyue rested her head on her aunt's slender waist and casually pulled her gauze clothes.

"This assessment... besides Xue Yi, there are also people from Jiu Jian Tower and Li Yan Tower participating."

Zhao Qing softly recounted his experiences over the past period of time.

After all, my aunt will also have to go to the twelfth floor in the future... Qinghuan has already taken the blood of the Azure Dragon.

Including Shuyue, they all have the opportunity to build their foundation in a thousand days, and maybe even join the Twelve Floors of Yujing...

Not to mention anything else, just for those miraculous life-saving methods, it is worth trying.

My aunt whispered, "Nine Swords Tower...is it related to the head of the Changsheng Sword Sect?"

Zhao Qing pondered for a moment, reorganized his words, and slowly narrated the situation he had summarized.

"To be precise... are you listening?" The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly lowered his head to look at Qinghuan. He saw that there was a crystal in her phoenix eyes and her delicate body was already tense.

Gu Qinghuan pursed her lips for a moment and said softly, "Qinghuan is listening."

Zhao Qing: ...

"These seventeen stars in the sky each have their own home."

"In the White Jade Palace of Heaven, with its twelve towers and five cities, the immortals stroke my head and I am blessed with eternal life."

Zhao Qing paused for a moment and continued.

"The twelve towers of Yujing and the five cities of Xingque overlook this world together."

Zhou Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her slender hands held Shuyue's delicate body tightly, sighing softly: "Yujing Xingque..."

"Yes, Yujing Xingque, there are seventeen factions in total, plus this vast mortal world, which is what you once described... the eighteen great paths of cultivation."

"Each state is actually controlled by the Five Cities, just like the Lanqingji secret realm that opens every ten years in Yongning State."

"However, the disciples of the Twelve Towers of Jade Capital are scattered all over the world."

"Cheng Yue, the head of Danxia Sect, is a disciple of Zizhu Tower."

"Chen Changsheng, the head of the Changsheng Sword Sect... and Lu Qing, the head of the Divine Blade Island, are both disciples of the Nine Swords Tower."

"Qin Chuxin, the head of Qianyuan Palace, is a disciple of Liyan Tower."

"The owner of the Blood Clothes Building in Changshengfang, Shen Mo, is a disciple of the Blood Clothes Building. There is also a woman in the Tianxiang Building named Hong Ning, who is also a disciple of Tianxiang."

Shu Yue's eyes flickered as she wondered, "Why does the Nine Swords Tower have two sects in Chu?"

Zhao Qing was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "I don't know yet. Perhaps I'll know the reason once we get to know each other better."

Zhou Xiaoyi nodded lightly, lying quietly on the eaves, gazing up at the bright stars. "Tianxiang and Xueyi are in Changshengfang, and Jiujian is in Changsheng Sword Sect, so this assessment will be held within Changsheng Sword Sect..."

"Correct."

"The rules of the assessment were set by the Tianxiang lineage, and are primarily based on combat."

"Only one person can pass the assessment every three years, so within the State of Chu, there are very few disciples of the Twelve Towers of Jade Capital."

At this moment, Zhao Qing took out his identity blood jade and threw it to Shuyue and his aunt for them to see.

Using spiritual power to perceive... you can see words on it.

The garrison at the Blood Robe Tower is Zhao Qing.

He continued, "From what I know so far... Xue Yi, Jiu Jian, and Li Yan are all from the lineage of combat cultivators."

"Maintain blood energy, spiritual power, and divine consciousness respectively."

"And Tianxianglou is a supplementary practice, practicing the secret art of the seven emotions and obeying the seven spirits."

"Zizhulou specializes in alchemy, using elixir herbs to nourish each realm."

"The rest... I haven't encountered them yet."

My aunt's beautiful eyes fluttered slightly, and she whispered, "What are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Qing thought for a moment, then took out another jade slip and threw it to Shuyue and his aunt for them to look at.

It was the one Liu Zijing gave him.

"All traces of our past have been wiped out by fellow Daoists on the 12th floor. I can choose any market in Chu State to station at the Bloody Clothes Station and receive a 30% commission each year."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes trembled violently.

All traces were wiped out!

She carefully examined the contents of the jade slip.

Songshan County, the Zhao family's ancestral home...

The next moment, her pupils suddenly shrank!

I'm already engaged to Zhao Qing! The royal attendant Duan Wen wants to make a match!

This meant that the Zhou family had already agreed to this matter...but he didn't even know about it! And his father hadn't even sent him a message!

In an instant, Zhou Xiaoyi felt an indescribable complexity and relief in her heart.

The Blood Robe Tower actually has such enormous power!

Regarding the engagement... the emperor must have contacted my grandfather, and he agreed, but didn't tell me.

Fortunately, the person I had an appointment with was right in front of me...

She suppressed all the fear in her heart and said in a hoarse voice, "Songshanfang is not far from here, only about 600 miles away."

Wang Shuyue felt her aunt's chest rise and fall slightly, and she reached out her slender hand to help her calm down. She laughed crisply and said, "Then Shuyue will be a member of Changlu County, Songshan Commandery from now on."

Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head.

"There's no rush to go to Songshan County. There are still many things to deal with at Changshengfang."

He glanced at the expressions of his aunt and Shuyue. They already understood the current situation... Especially Shuyue, who couldn't hide the smile on her pretty face.

Then look down at Qing Huan...

Zhao Qing did not let Qinghuan see the jade slip, because he knew... Qinghuan didn't care about these things. As long as she was by his side, she would be satisfied, and nothing else mattered.

At this moment, he gently combed the hair of the woman in his arms and asked, "Do you have any close junior sisters in Dancao Workshop?"

"Ok?"

Qing Huan raised her beautiful face, her eyes full of spring waves. She thought for a moment and then shook her head slightly: "No."

Zhao Qing:! ?

"Have you ever taken a drop of blood?"

A drop of blood?

Gu Qinghuan's phoenix eyes fluttered slightly as she carefully recalled...

"Master, are you talking about Qingying? She is a disciple of Dancaofang and joined the sect in the spring of Guimao year."

As the gentle voice came out from his arms, Zhao Qing instantly felt his heart throb!
