Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Do you want to use Shouyun Mountain as the sect’s trial ground?

Are independent cultivators prohibited from entering the mountain?

Zhao Qing immediately felt much more at ease. Since the sect had already planned the use of Shouyun Mountain, there would definitely be further arrangements.

Just the rule of prohibiting independent cultivators from going up the mountain would require several inner sect brothers to take turns on duty, right?

Otherwise, relying solely on outer disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining would not be enough.

"I see."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly and asked, "Is there any brother going up the mountain to collect firewood today?"

Several people looked at each other and asked each other. Two of them nodded, indicating that they saw someone receiving the task of collecting firewood.

Sure enough, it was exactly as I had guessed.

Zhao Qing thought about it carefully in his mind, and after chatting with a few people for a while, he said goodbye directly. Instead of continuing to the kitchen, he returned to Danxia City along the same route.

Now that we know about Shouyunshan's situation, there is no need to go to the kitchen to inquire.

After all, everyone is doing their tasks, so it’s not appropriate for me to just go over and have a meal.

"Shouyun Mountain... the sect's trial ground... great! Really great!"

Zhao Qing was in a good mood and felt that the safety factor of his home had increased several times in an instant.

The small courtyard is on the way from the kitchen to Shouyun Mountain. Since it is the last courtyard, one side is empty, and the other side is the courtyard of the junior brothers and sisters.

By then, the neighbors will be familiar and easy to talk to, so it will be easy to help them.

There are outer sect brothers on duty at the place where you go to get food, and there are inner sect disciples on duty at the place where you go to chop wood. There will even be other brothers who will go there for trials in the future.

Both the north and the south are big guys, and I am the sandwich in the middle, which is very comfortable.

Coupled with the defensive effect of the Green Pine Formation, it is no exaggeration to say that even if the sect is destroyed, even your own family may not be in trouble.

"Even if there is another wave of monsters, it shouldn't affect me."

Zhao Qing vaguely felt that the sect must have some purpose in not allowing independent cultivators to go up the mountain, otherwise there would be no need to make a big fuss... As for what the purpose was, it was still unclear.

He didn't care, as long as his Dingzimohaoyuan was safe, it was enough.

At this moment, he planned to simply deal with the affairs in the city, finish them up, and move back to the kitchen tomorrow.

There's actually nothing to deal with.

Just sell some medicine and keep some spirit stones in hand in case they are not enough when the Green Pine Formation is activated.

In addition, he would choose another axe technique. This idea had been in his mind since he first triggered the proficiency panel.

I want to accumulate a certain level of axe skills by chopping down trees.

Although it may not be very powerful, but I have nothing to do anyway and I still have to chop down trees every day, so it is not a waste of effort.

When you become more proficient in it, it will be more or less effective, and it can also be used for self-defense.

Another thing he needed was a few shovels, something he had discussed with his wife the night before.

The soil in the yard always needs to be turned over and put to use.

This is also related to another very important thing.

Something that he had been thinking about since he first came to Danxia Sect.

But at that time, there were many senior brothers living in the same courtyard, so I never had the chance to do it.

Now that I have a family and my own yard, it's time to put that matter on the agenda.

——Dig a basement in the east wing!

After two lifetimes, historical experience has correctly pointed out that the safest place in the world is generally underground.

If he could successfully build another layer under the yard, Zhao Qing would not panic at all even if a group of monsters rushed down the mountain.

He first went to the Blood Robe Building to sell fifteen Qi Gathering Pills, and then left the West Market with twenty spirit stones and half a pound of spirit-eating grass.

"I have the alchemy furnace and formations...I need to save some spirit stones later."

Zhao Qing silently calculated his financial situation. Since he had a lot of things to buy recently, he could only buy half a pound of Spirit-Devouring Grass at a time. If he bought more, he would immediately be short of money.

After this period of time passed, he planned to buy more alchemy materials at once. After all, after returning to the kitchen, it was not very convenient to go to the West Market all the time. Not only was it very troublesome to go back and forth, but he might also encounter a robbery cultivator.

At 3:00 p.m., Zhao Qing ate a bowl of beef offal noodles in an inn, and then continued to stroll around the market.

There are quite a few shops selling martial arts techniques, but most of them sell techniques and skills suitable for the Qi Refining stage, and you can hardly find any higher-end ones.

Moreover, the techniques involving weapons and magic spells are highly homogenized.

For example, he saw seven or eight shops selling a copy of the sword manual "Thunder Sword" in one afternoon, and the prices were all different. The cheaper ones only cost five spirit stones, while the more expensive ones cost a whopping forty-nine spirit stones.

Apart from that, the situations with swordsmanship and gunmanship are similar.

However, axe techniques are rare, and not many monks use axes as weapons. However, among the warriors in many martial arts schools and escort agencies in the ordinary world, there are many people who are keen on practicing axe techniques.

This resulted in unpopular military strategies being rare and expensive, and Zhao Qing searched for them many times but failed to find a suitable one.

A copy of "Seven Absolute Axes", which consists of only a few sheets of paper, is priced at thirty spirit stones. Only a fool would buy it.

In desperation, he finally decided to try his luck in Dongfang to see if he could find something with a better value for money on the street stalls.

Before we knew it, the sun had set and a light rain had begun to fall.

Zhao Qing wandered in front of one stall after another, holding the twenty spirit stones in his hand.

"Axe Technique? Why don't you practice swordsmanship? There are so many sects in Chu State, big and small, but isn't it the Changsheng Sword Sect that reigns supreme?"

"Fellow Daoist, listen to my advice and practice your sword skills! No one has yet been able to comprehend the inscription left by Daoshen Lu on the Qingyun Wall. Perhaps you have a chance?"

Zhao Qing: ...

Can I say that I use it to cut down trees?

Just as he was wondering if it was foolish to chop down the tree with a sword, a voice came from a stall in the distance: "Look at what I have here, fellow Daoist! I have everything here!"

Zhao Qing looked back and saw a stall that he had ignored before. At first glance, all the stalls were strange and bizarre skills, including some ordinary and crude methods of body building, so he had never asked about it.

At this moment, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart. He walked closer and asked, "Do you have the Axe Technique?"

The stall owner was an old man with a face full of white stubble. He puffed out his chest and raised his head with an expression that said, "I don't have it, no one else has it." He said, "Yes! How could I not have it?"

“But there are some minor flaws…”

Zhao Qing, who had just started to feel excited, suddenly had a bad feeling when he heard this.

"What flaw?"

The old man grinned as he dug out half a volume of military tactics from a pile of rotten books: "Only half a volume."

Zhao Qing was speechless. You call this a minor flaw?

Are you an NPC in the game? I can collect the remaining half myself. Are you writing a novel?

He turned and walked away without looking back.

"Oops! Wait! I'm not finished yet!"

?

Zhao Qing turned around. Is it really that cheap? If it only costs a few spirit stones, half a copy is not unacceptable.

Anyway, I just want to gain proficiency.

The old man waited until he came closer again before whispering, "Daoyou, I'll be honest with you, you've found a treasure! This 'Splitting Mountain Art' requires a spiritual root foundation; it's not just an ordinary military art."

"Spiritual roots?" Zhao Qing's mind moved, and he asked, "What kind of spiritual roots are needed to cultivate?"

"Hehe, earth spirit root."

Zhao Qing's hand was about to touch Bing Jue but he pulled it back. "No, goodbye!"

"No! It's cheap, very cheap! I've had this thing for years and can't sell it at all. Just give me the money and I'll sell it to you!"

Sell ​​it for money?

Zhao Qing looked indifferent and said quietly, "Could it be the second half?"
