Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Guimao year, Si month, Mao day.

Grain Full.

Dingzimohaoyuan welcomed back its owner.

After Zhao Qing had settled everything, he first went to the kitchen to visit Senior Brother Wang Teng.

After all, it was the other party's tacit consent when I left, so I should let them know now that I'm back.

This will prevent you from being troubled by work or housing issues in the future.

Kitchen.

The stern young man, as usual, reclined on a wooden chair with his eyes closed.

The only difference is that the wooden chair was moved under the old locust tree. After all, it is already summer.

Zhao Qing walked through the crowd and saw the figure under the old locust tree from afar.

After approaching, he did not mention anything special, but continued as usual and asked about the status of today's mission.

"Brother, I'm here to receive today's mission."

Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes, revealing an extremely gloomy look. He said indifferently, "What time is it now? Why are you here so late?"

Zhao Qing bent down and smiled apologetically without saying anything.

Only after Wang Teng saw who was coming did his expression relax a little.

But his tone was still a little impatient. He glared at Zhao Qing and said, "80 kilograms. You have been 80 kilograms these past few days. Make up for what you missed before."

"Okay, disciple, I'll make up for what I missed."

Zhao Qing bowed and agreed, preparing to say goodbye and leave.

He knew that the other party said this just to reflect his status as a disciple on duty. Anyway, it was enough to let him know that he was back.

Zhao Qing, who has worked in Huozaofang for many years, has already figured out the twists and turns involved.

"and many more!"

Zhao Qing paused and asked, "Brother, do you have any other instructions?"

Wang Teng tapped two fingers on the wooden chair and looked at Zhao Qing with a squinting glance: "Breakthrough?"

"My state of mind has changed a bit since I came to the city this time, and luckily I broke through to the middle stage of Qi Refining." Zhao Qing replied.

The stern young man slowly sat up, stretched, and yawned, asking, "Is your Yue-chan okay?"

Zhao Qing smiled apologetically, shook his head, and bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Alright, let's go! Come back at noon to get your missions! If you do it again, I'll punish you!"

……

Zhao Qing picked up the food from the kitchen and walked home, feeling confused.

"What did Wang Teng mean by that last sentence? Do I need to make up for the firewood I didn't collect earlier?"

Forget it, I won’t make up for it. It shouldn’t be a problem.

After returning home, when he invited Wang Shuyue to have dinner together, he discovered that the food in the kitchen... was not that fragrant.

"Shuyue, if you want to cook in the future, tell me and I'll bring back some vegetables from the kitchen."

The girl looked up, with rice grains still on the corners of her mouth, and looked at her husband with big eyes full of confusion.

She was stunned for a long time before she smiled and said, "Then my husband can bring back the food when he is free. Shuyue always wants to cook for me."

After meal.

Zhao Qing locked the courtyard gate and took out the Green Pine Formation's array plate from his storage bag.

On the square array plate, there are crisscrossing patterns and carvings, and there is a groove in the center, which can be activated by placing a spirit stone.

"Shuyue, follow me to the door. After I leave, place this spirit stone into the groove of the formation plate."

He briefly explained how to use the formation plate, then opened the gate and came to the street outside.

Everyone is working at this time and there is no one outside the door.

"I put it away!"

The clear voice of my beloved wife came.

Zhao Qing walked forward and pushed the door open, but found himself blocked two feet outside the door and unable to move forward.

This feeling is very wonderful, as if there is a high wall in front of you, and you can even touch the invisible barrier formed by spiritual energy with your hand.

Is this the defensive array?

Zhao Qing looked around again and after making sure that there was no one around, he pinched a Red Snake Technique in his hand. After his proficiency level had broken through, the power of the Red Snake Technique became much stronger than before.

As the spiritual energy was stimulated, a long rope of fire rose from his palm and instantly spread to the courtyard wall.

But it still disappeared two feet outside the wall.

Zhao Qing groaned and slowly retreated. The feedback of his spiritual power felt like hitting an iron pot, and his meridians even felt a sharp pain.

Half an incense stick later, Zhao Qing walked around his house to confirm whether the yard was completely covered by the formation.

Then, he called out to Wang Shuyue to put away the formation plate and push the door open.

Green pine formation!

Zhao Qing locked the gate and took the formation plate from his wife's hand, feeling that the safety factor had greatly increased.

"With this formation plate, ordinary dangers should not threaten us in the future."

Wang Shuyue already understood the specific situation, and nodded vigorously at this moment. From the crescent-shaped corners of her eyes, it can be seen that she was also very excited.

Afterwards, Zhao Qing took out the remaining spirit stones and estimated the amount needed.

"It wasn't consumed so quickly at the beginning. It was only after a while that a part of it suddenly shattered." The wife described.

Zhao Qing understood.

It must be my own attack that caused the spiritual energy consumed by the formation to increase...

"Take the formation plate to the bedroom and replace the spirit stone with a new one. Observe how long it takes for a spirit stone to completely shatter."

Zhao Qing asked his wife to record the amount of spirit stones used in the formation plate, while he took the equipment and went up the mountain.

The monsters have been completely eliminated, and life in the kitchen has returned to normal, seemingly without any changes.

But for Zhao Qing, it was completely different.

Today he is not chopping wood, but practicing with an axe!

……

But after the practice, the injured trees need to be brought back to the kitchen and comforted.

Shouyun Mountain is not hot in summer. The lush trees block most of the sunlight, and it even feels cooler than at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Qing went straight to the forest area he often went to.

There was blood everywhere along the way, and he even almost stepped on some specially designed traps.

These are all traces left after hunting monsters.

Looking at the devastated Shouyun Mountain, Zhao Qing still felt a little scared. Were all the monsters outside really cleared out?

He looked at the odd jobs being done in the distance, then raised his head to gaze at the several temporary wooden houses built halfway up the mountain, where the inner sect brothers were on duty.

It wasn't until he arrived at the area where he often worked and found nothing unusual that he felt relieved.

He had asked in the kitchen when he got his meal, and things were pretty much as he had guessed.

The sect arranged three inner sect brothers to stay in Shouyun Mountain permanently, one to prevent the wandering cultivators from going up the mountain, and the other to prevent the monsters in the depths of Shouyun Mountain from escaping.

It is said that it is also related to the arrangement of the sect trials in the future.

After breaking through the fourth level of Qi Refining, his previously stagnant practice began to make progress.

The spiritual energy flows from the Dantian into the Dragon Spine. You only need to break through the three levels step by step, and you can practice all the way to the sixth level of Qi Refining without any obstacles.

The skills have also begun to accumulate progress. Although he does not have a weapon to show off, the axe in his hand is enough to practice by chopping trees.

At this moment, Zhao Qing took out his axe, aimed at a large tree about three meters away, and circulated his spiritual energy to search for that familiar feeling...

Then he swung his arms.

"Whoosh!"

The axe spun rapidly and flew out. The sharp axe blade carried tremendous power, as if it could cut through everything, and it was embedded in the tree trunk more than halfway.

After staying for just a moment, it rolled back following the pull of the spiritual energy.

However, Zhao Qing dodged to the side in time and did not dare to catch it with his hands.

The "Flying Across the River" in "The Art of Splitting the Mountain" is just like this, which emphasizes attacking and killing with bare hands, and being invincible.
