Beauty helps me achieve immortality

The startled wind blew away the sun, and the light flowed westward.

A big hole appeared in the originally empty east wing in just a few days.

Wang Shuyue’s family had built a cellar before, so experienced people would not be in a rush when doing anything.

After the initial drawings were finalized, the two worked together to finalize the air vent locations and the support system that would fully support the expansion.

The progress of refining the Qi Gathering Pill was also slowed down. Zhao Qing had a very hidden enthusiasm for things like infrastructure construction.

In addition to practicing axe chopping every day, he would bring back a few straight and strong horizontal beams to support the stable structure of the east wing and cellar.

He even cleared out his storage bag to store the wood.

Correspondingly, his proficiency in the Mountain-Splitting Technique is also increasing day by day, and is about to break through again.

"Accumulating proficiency in military tactics is obviously much faster than refining pills. Unfortunately, military tactics can only be used for self-defense, not for making money."

Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh as he walked to the kitchen.

But in fact, it was his low realm that limited the progress of alchemy. For an alchemist of the same realm, making multiple pills in one furnace would be effortless.

He had been leaving early and returning late these days, completely absorbed in selecting wood. He didn't even take a break during the process, as he had to rush to finish his tasks and get food so he could get home early to dig holes.

The outer sect brother on duty looked at the bundles of branches and twigs that Zhao Qing was dragging behind him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Where did you find all that wood? Wasn't it too much trouble?"

Zhao Qing grinned and said, "Brother, I've worked in the kitchen before, and wood chips are more convenient to use. I've had a lot of time these days, so I picked some on purpose."

The outer disciples on duty nodded with satisfaction, but felt quite disdainful in their hearts.

The strength of the menial disciples ranges from the innate level to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Those who are at the Xiantian realm are generally new disciples. They work diligently, are obedient and helpful, and do not raise any complaints.

Most of the people in the early stage of Qi Refining are old hands. Although they can complete the tasks on time, the quality is uneven.

The outer disciples on duty turned a blind eye to this situation, after all, they would meet each other sooner or later.

For the servants in the middle stage of Qi Refining, the conditions are much more relaxed. Many servants have even left the kitchen and gone out to look for opportunities for breakthroughs.

If you can reach the later stage, you will be promoted to the outer sect.

The on-duty disciples would not easily offend such people who are likely to receive the same treatment as themselves.

But obviously, Zhao Qing is an exception.

Even though he is in the middle stage of Qi training, he is still focused on working and delivering firewood on time and in quantity. This behavior is quite explosive in the entire kitchen.

After Zhao Qing finished his task, he ignored the puzzled look of his brother on duty and went straight to the kitchen.

It is reasonable to put the horizontal wood into the storage bag and hand over the broken wood to the sect. What is there to be confused about?

Two incense sticks later, Zhao Qing returned to his yard with the food.

Wang Shuyue rolled up her sleeves, welcomed her husband into the yard, and locked the door behind her.

The girl whispered to him slyly, "Husband, maybe we need to go to Danxia City again."

Zhao Qing reached out and wiped away the beads of sweat on his wife's forehead: "What's wrong?"

"The cellar we need to dig is too large and deep, and it's under the house. It can't be supported by just crossbeams."

"We also need to use some stone sand, glutinous rice, mixed with straw, bamboo strips, and linen to reinforce it."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly. From the drawing to the construction of the cellar, most of the work was done by his wife... In his previous life, the construction site would pay at least 200 yuan a day, and also provide meals.

He gently hugged his wife and said, "Let's eat first. Make a list of what you need. After this batch of herbs is used up, I'll go into town and buy some more."

After a simple meal, the two of them went back to the east wing.

……

On early summer nights, the loud chirping of insects occasionally fills the night sky, causing annoyance.

At the foot of Shouyun Mountain, in the courtyard closest to the mountain, candlelight flickered.

A man and a woman, holding shovels, ruthlessly dug a three-foot-long hole in front of them.

The only sound that echoed in the whole room was the rustling sound of shoveling soil.

The girl stopped moving, her eyes crescent-shaped as she smiled, and whispered, "Why do I feel like a thief? Zhao Qing? Zhao Qing?"

"Don't talk! Be careful someone might hear you."

……

Early the next morning, the gate of Dingzimohao Courtyard was knocked again.

With the experience from the previous few times, Zhao Qing was not too confused. He guessed that it was the junior brothers and sisters next door who came again.

He pushed the door open and walked out into the yard, where the other party quickly spoke.

"Brother, it's me, Miao Jian."

As expected, he was right... After Zhao Qing figured it out, he first locked the east wing before opening the door.

After the young disciple entered, he bowed and said, "I heard from Shen Su that Senior Brother Zhao has returned, so I came to visit."

He had a sword on his back, and his posture was more upright than when we first met.

Zhao Qing realized that he had reached the second level of Qi Refining, and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed good to lean on a big tree for shade.

"You're welcome, Junior Brother. Sit down and have some tea first."

He turned around and walked under the eaves, shouting to the room, "Shuyue, Junior Brother Miao is here, make some tea."

Soon, the wife's response was heard in the room.

After Miao Jian sat down, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, placed it steadily on the table, and said respectfully, "I brought this back from the kitchen this time. It's a little gift from you."

Zhao Qing glanced at it calmly, and the extremely strong fragrance of the elixir filled the air, making him subconsciously tense up.

After all, he is an entry-level mid-grade alchemist. Based on his experience in alchemy, the contents of this bottle are definitely not ordinary items, at least not something he can refine now.

This made him more alert.

I thought to myself, why do you always give gifts to me, a servant?

Zhao Qing asked directly: "Junior brother, is there something wrong?"

Miao Jian smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

Instead, he said, "Brother, you should know that Xiao Su and I fell in love with each other. We decided to hold the wedding in five days."

Getting married...

Zhao Qing had a rough idea in his mind: "Then I have to congratulate my junior brother on getting the beauty. If you need any help, just let me know."

Miao Jian returned the gift, then looked at the small porcelain bottle on the table, paused, and said, "I brought back two Rejuvenating Pills this time, one for Xiao Su and one for my sister-in-law."

???

Rejuvenating pill!

Zhao Qing restrained his smile and looked up and down at the young junior brother in front of him.

He didn't know how many spirit stones the Rejuvenating Pill cost, but he had a rough idea of ​​its value. It was more expensive than the Spirit Gathering Array.

It was totally beyond the reach of a cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refining. He even wondered where Miao Jian got so much money from.

"Junior brother, you should take this precious thing back with you. We live next door to each other, so it's only natural that we should help each other. There's no need for such a grand gift."

Miao Jian smiled bitterly.

"Brother, we've just arrived at the kitchen and are completely clueless. Besides, I'm often in the city... I heard that you're getting married in the spring?"

"I'd like to ask my senior brothers and sisters to help me out in the kitchen."

We need a cook... A cook wouldn't cost that much, right?

"The sisters in the kitchen are quite noisy and happy to help, so there's no need to manage them."

Zhao Qing tried to refuse again. He always felt that Miao Jian must have something else to do.

Miao Jian saluted again and took a deep breath, which made Zhao Qing a little nervous. He didn't know what he was going to say next.

"Miao Jian has been in the kitchen for over a month now. I'm grateful to you, Senior Brother, for your constant guidance and care. You treat me like a brother."

"And I don't have any relatives at home, so I'd like to ask my senior brother to attend and officiate my wedding in the name of my elder brother!"

?

No, there is more, there must be more!

Zhao Qing drank a sip of tea silently. He was very familiar with these three tricks: first give gifts, then acknowledge relatives, and finally talk about business.
