Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Near noon, Zhao Qingcai arrived at the stall area in Dongfang.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s noon, but there aren’t many monks setting up stalls right now.

After asking around, Zhao Qing found out that there were only a few monsters left outside Shouyun Mountain, and many independent cultivators had gone there, trying to make the last bit of money.

After hearing the news, he felt a little excited and planned to go to the kitchen again in a few days. If there was no problem, he should be able to go back.

After careful consideration, he changed his mind and decided to buy a formation plate first.

It’s not that you can’t make elixirs without a furnace, it’s just a matter of efficiency. Since you plan to move back, safety is the top priority.

Although living in the city does not require a formation, the space is too small and it is easy to be robbed when going out.

And as a disciple of the kitchen, he couldn't just hide away and not work. Once the monsters were cleared out, the kitchen's duties should be resumed soon.

Zhao Qing has lived near Shouyun Mountain for nearly twenty years. If the safety issue can be resolved, he is willing to go back from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't ask for anything else, just being able to eat two meals of delicious porridge and vegetables from the kitchen every day would make him feel comfortable, as that was where he had half his life's memories.

Zhao Qing held the twenty-four spirit stones in his hand and walked around the stall, comparing them for more than half an hour.

Finally, a formation called Qingsong Formation was chosen.

This is a protective spiritual formation that does not have any offensive properties. Once activated, it can resist attacks or approaches from cultivators below the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It's enough for home use.

And after bargaining, it only cost nine spirit stones, which can be said to be quite affordable.

However, there is also a drawback. The activation of the spirit array requires the consumption of spiritual energy. Generally, this kind of spirit array will be built in combination with a spirit gathering array to provide long-term protection.

But it was obvious that Zhao Qing could not afford a spirit gathering array. That kind of functional array would cost hundreds of spirit stones, which was far beyond his spending range.

After buying this Green Pine Formation, you can only activate it by placing spirit stones into the formation disk. It will lose its effect when the spirit stones are used up, but this is completely sufficient. You can activate it when there is danger.

Zhao Qing paid the spirit stones, put the array plate into the storage bag in his sleeve, took out the marrow cleansing pill in advance, and went straight to the stall of Le'an Talisman Master.

Not long after, he saw Le An and the bald boy from afar. There was also a female cultivator at the stall today, who should be Le An's wife.

Zhao Qing took two quick steps and came to the stall.

He bowed and said, "Friend Le, nice to meet you again. This is... my sister-in-law, right?"

The female cultivator smiled and said nothing, while Le An stood up and returned the greeting: "That's right, my wife is bored at home, come with me out for some fresh air."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao seemed very well-informed before! What are you going to do today?"

Zhao Qing thought to himself, I’m the person involved, how could I not be well-informed?

He didn't mention the matter of Shouyun Mountain anymore, but smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Nothing, I just bought a formation plate for home use, and I came by here to bring some things for the child."

Without saying anything more, he stuffed the marrow cleansing pill in his hand into the bald child's hand.

The child looked up at him in a daze, as if a little confused, but he held the marrow cleansing pill tightly in his hand. It had the sweet fragrance of honey, which could easily fool the child.

Le An looked at his son, exchanged glances with his wife, and laughed out loud: "Why don't you thank Uncle Zhao right away!"

Zhao Qing smiled and said it was nothing. He then asked about the child's name and physical condition, chatted for a few minutes, and then left.

Although the value of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is not as precious as the Golden Light Talisman, it is at least a token of my appreciation.

He had promised Le An that he would bring new Qi Gathering Pills to him for him to choose from first, but the time was not right yet. He wanted to break his spirit stones into two halves and could not afford to buy them for free.

After leaving Le An's stall, he went to check out the market price of the alchemy furnace.

There is no difference from before, it is still extremely expensive, costing dozens of spirit stones. The cheapest copper furnace costs twenty spirit stones. As for those made of special materials, the price is even sky-high.

He wandered around the stall for a long time before he found anything.

A green-yellow copper alchemy furnace, a second-hand furnace mixed with a small amount of red gold and six-one mud. After bargaining, it was successfully acquired for fourteen spirit stones!

Although the lid is lost, it is not a big deal. As long as the furnace does not explode, you can use something else to replace the lid when the time comes.

The materials of the alchemy furnace itself are not expensive, what is valuable is the forging craftsmanship. In addition, most forgers like to make weapons and do not like to make furnaces, which has created the current alchemy furnace market.

Zhao Qing put away the alchemy furnace and left the market without looking back.

All thirty-four spirit stones were used up, not even a single one was left.

This made him sigh a little. Three spirit stones were not enough to spend every month before, and now he has more than thirty, but it is still not enough.

Zhao Qing fell into deep thought.

"Why do I never have enough spirit stones to spend?"

……

It was April, and the trees along the road were lush and leafy, casting patches of shade on the ground, but the afternoon sun was still scorching.

In addition, Danxia City is backed by Shouyun Mountain, so the weather is even more weird.

At this time of year, it is extremely hot at noon and cold at night, and the weather is very different in the same day.

Zhao Qing returned to the alley under the scorching sun.

"The lease for the house still has about half a month left, but Huanyu Pavilion should come to collect the rent in advance... We'll have to move out in a few days."

He sighed slightly and entered his temporary home.

Wang Shuyue had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him at home.

His wife welcomed Zhao Qing into the bedroom and gently helped him take off his outer robe. She gently pinched his shoulders and asked with concern, "Did you encounter any danger on your way back?"

Zhao Qing shook his head: "No, if it wasn't too late, we wouldn't encounter the robbery cultivators. After all, there are still brothers on duty outside at this time."

"I went out and bought a protective array this time. After this batch of Qi Gathering Pills is refined, I will go back to the kitchen to take a look. If there are no problems, we will move back."

When the wife heard that they were going to move back home, she was a little overjoyed, then she turned and gently embraced him, sighing softly: "My husband has worked hard... It's a pity that Shuyue is useless and can't share my worries."

"No, can't you help me now?"

"When you reach the innate realm, you can test your spiritual roots. Maybe you have spiritual roots?" Zhao Qing comforted his wife again.

The Xiantian realm can be tested on the sect’s spirit-testing tablet and join the Danxia Sect.

In addition, Zhao Qing knew that there were other ways to test spiritual roots. There were no realm requirements, but the threshold was higher and he could not access it at all.

After a tender moment, Zhao Qing asked his wife to heat up the food and prepare to eat.

He took out the newly bought alchemy furnace and admired it carefully.

With his current skills and ability to control spiritual energy, refining three Qi Gathering Pills in one furnace is not a problem at all.

Although each failure will consume three-tenths of the medicinal materials, the efficiency can be greatly improved, which is acceptable.
