Beauty helps me achieve immortality

At midnight, the news that the monster tide had reappeared spread throughout the kitchen.

After midnight, Zhao Qing stood on the eaves, ready for battle.

The Green Pine Formation was activated, and next to him was a pile of axes taken from the kitchen. Although they were ordinary items, they were quite sturdy.

If any monsters leave Shouyun Mountain, my family will be the first to suffer. I might even turn into a watermelon pitcher tonight.

However, the kind senior brothers and sisters of Danxia Sect did not give him this opportunity.

At three quarters past midnight, the T-shaped courtyard was brightly lit.

The crowd was already densely packed with purple-robed servants.

They looked excited, and some were even sleepy. They must have been dragged here by their friends.

The madness of everyone hunting monsters a month ago is still fresh in our minds. At that time, many servants were wary and were taken advantage of by the independent cultivators. They regretted it afterwards.

But what is unexpected is that a month later, the monster tide appeared again!

Listening to the noisy voices outside the courtyard gate, Zhao Qing silently withdrew the defensive formation. Even if the sky fell, there were so many meat shields to support it, so there was no need to panic.

The chaos in the kitchen continued until the morning, and many familiar servants had already formed teams and were ready to go.

As the inner sect brothers came down the mountain together and gave a signal of safety, a group of disciples rushed towards Shouyun Mountain like a swarm of locusts.

Zhao Qing hadn't slept all night. He looked at his wife silently and asked, "Am I... too cautious?"

The two looked at each other, turned around and went into the bedroom tacitly, and activated the formation at the same time.

Zhao Qing’s idea is very simple: you hunt yours and I hide mine, and we won’t affect each other.

Even in the evening, you can go to the kitchen to get some animal meat to eat...

As for when I can go into the mountains to hunt to my heart's content?

Hunting is impossible unless the cause of the beast tide is understood and the risk can be redefined at that time.

Zhao Qing suspected that the sect’s leaders must have an idea in mind, otherwise they would not have directly cordoned off the entire Shouyun Mountain.

……

Zhao Qingcai slept until noon and then left the hospital to find out what was going on.

The situation in the kitchen was the same as before, but the interesting thing was... most of the disciples in the mine were male cultivators, and many of them had dark circles under their eyes, looking like they had not had enough rest.

Every disciple of Caofang was full of energy and looked radiant, chatting and laughing in groups of three or five.

It's easy to tell.

Zhao Qing met a few acquaintances after walking a few steps. They were all from Dancaofang. One of them was the junior sister who was with Zhang Qiuyang last time. This time she had a new male companion.

"Sun... Junior Sister Sun!"

The petite female student was chatting and laughing with the sisters around her. When she heard someone calling her, she turned around and said, "It's Senior Brother Zhao Qing."

"Senior Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Qing walked closer and greeted the two men and two women in front of him one by one. Then he said, "You guys are in a hurry. Have you already been up the mountain? Or did you just get here?"

The woman looked around shyly and whispered, "Of course we arrived early this morning. We happened to be with the two brothers last night, and after hearing the commotion outside, we followed everyone here."

Two senior brothers? Were you together last night?

Why are you so shy about such a small thing?

Zhao Qing had some understanding of the customs in the thatched house and knew that they were playing Pai Gow, so he ignored the bold teasing from his junior sister.

He nodded slightly. "So, news from the kitchen spreads quickly... You guys have close contact with the brothers from the Alchemy Hall. Have you heard any gossip?"

"What kind of gossip is this, Senior Brother?"

Zhao Qing pointed out directly: "The inner sect brothers have set up a formation on Shouyun Mountain, and the elders have also gone to investigate... But the beast tide comes again every other month. Have the brothers in the Alchemy Hall mentioned the reason?"

Both male cultivators shook their heads.

The woman next to the Sun cultivator recalled briefly and said, "I heard Senior Brother Qian talk about it... It seems that Elder Qian detected some treasure in the mountain, so he sealed it off."

"As for the beast tide, I'm not quite sure."

"Brother, do you have any concerns? Feel free to tell me."

Everyone was talking at once, cooperating very well.

Zhao Qing pondered for a moment, thinking they had known each other for several years, so a reminder might be helpful. He said, "Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Where do so many unintelligent monsters come from in Shouyun Mountain?"

"Don't you think this is a bit too much? Not to mention it already happened a month ago, so it's better to be cautious."

The male cultivator waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother, you're being too cautious. It's just a small beast tide. You'll get used to it. Look, my little Sun even has a red tide once a month."

The pretty female cultivator stomped her feet with a red face, and hit the back of her senior brother next to her hard with her small hands.

The corners of Zhao Qing's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, were you really playing Pai Gow last night?

Without getting any clear information, Zhao Qing turned around and said goodbye.

Before leaving, I could still hear the four of them chattering non-stop.

"Let's go at midnight tonight, and find a place to play first."

"Yeah! Senior brother, you're right. We might be able to hunt down a big creature that just escaped at midnight."

"Once I've earned enough spirit stones in the next few days, I can go find my senior brother in the Alchemy Hall to buy the Bliss Pill. Just thinking about it now makes me feel my whole body trembling!"

The woman's clear voice revealed irrepressible excitement.

"It's strange, why would some casual cultivators become addicted to and sick from taking the Bliss Pill?

I take it every day and never feel any effects. Where does this addiction come from?"

Zhao Qing silently separated from the four people.

In my mind, I put a red cross on the strange yet somewhat familiar Bliss Pill.

People say life in Caofang is easy, but I didn’t expect it to be so... comfortable.

He turned and went to the kitchen, intending to get two buckets of water and see if he could find out anything else.

I was originally planning to ask the junior sister next door to bring me some water, but after this incident, it’s not a good idea to trouble others.

However, as soon as he arrived at the kitchen, he bumped into Wang Teng who was coming towards him.

"Qing, haven't you eaten yet?"

Zhao Qing returned the greeting: "Brother, I have eaten and happened to be passing by here, so I came to get some water."

He then took two steps forward and continued, "Brother, why did this beast tide appear again? Is there any news from the sect?"

Wang Teng looked around to see if there was anyone around, and pulled Zhao Qing to a corner.

"Qing, there are some things I shouldn't tell you...but since we're friends, you can't tell anyone about it now that you know."

Zhao Qing nodded seriously to show that he understood.

"According to Senior Brother Qian, there must be some precious treasure in this mountain. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a continuous flow of monsters. Those beasts were formed by absorbing a huge amount of spiritual energy in an instant."

Zhao Qing: ...

It seems to be similar to what Junior Sister Sun and the others said.

"Brother, I wonder who this Brother Qian is?"

Wang Teng smiled and said, "You are not from the outer sect, so it is normal that you don't know. Senior Brother Qian is the only son of Elder Qian. Apart from the headmaster's nephew, Senior Brother Qian is the most powerful one. He is known as the second outer sect disciple."

"I'll tell you in detail when you're promoted to the outer sect."

Wang Teng turned and left, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to think of something and turned back to say, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoqing, remember to practice well. When you break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, I will introduce you to a junior sister from Dancaofang."

Zhao Qing:?

Junior sister?

From Caofang?

No need for that?
