Beauty helps me achieve immortality

"Ok?"

“It does seem a bit mysterious.”

Zhao Qing stared at the brocade box that Jian Ting put down, and found that his spiritual sense could not penetrate it. It was obvious that it had been specially treated.

Furthermore, Jian Ting claimed that he was not a blood descendant, but a member of the Jian clan of Zhongzhou...

After a moment's hesitation, he smiled and replied, "Please thank the elders on my behalf. I will definitely visit you when I go to Zhongzhou someday."

"Don't worry, senior brother. I will definitely convey this message!" Seeing that Zhao Qing made excuses, Jian Ting did not invite him again, but just replied solemnly.

The aroma of tea fills the air, and the water is misty.

Qing Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she directly took the brocade box and disassembled it with her spiritual energy.

She smiled brightly and cleverly: "Qing Huan will take a look for the master first."

This gift must be viewed in person.

If it's too valuable, it would give the master a chance to decide whether to accept it or not. After all, the master is a newcomer, and the other party is an ancient clan that has been entrenched in Zhongzhou for thousands of years...

Since Xiaoyi was not around, it was natural for her to do this kind of abrupt thing.

Seeing this, Meng Xue also smiled sweetly and responded, "Jian Xuezi came here on the orders of his clan. The gifts he brought must be extraordinary. I am also very curious."

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Qinghuan's hands.

Pang Zhen leaned to the side and sipped his tea, knowing that this would not be a very precious item. For the Blood-Cloaked Walking Man... if the Jian family really came up with a big gift, the elders would probably be heartbroken.

"This thing can't really be called precious. I'm afraid Madam will be disappointed." Jian Ting looked at her with a smile and said so jokingly.

Xiang Qin also showed curiosity, but compared to Jian's gift, she was obviously more curious about Gu Qinghuan. Her beautiful eyes kept looking at this woman who practiced Qigong.

Soon, the mysterious brocade box peeled off, revealing a jade plate placed inside.

Qing Huan held the strange disk in her delicate hands, a hint of doubt flashing in her phoenix eyes. She handed it to the owner and laughed at herself, "Qing Huan couldn't recognize it for a moment..."

Zhao Qing extended his spiritual sense to look at the jade plate, feeling a little confused.

This is not a formation plate, but a jade slip.

It’s just… there’s so much information to record that once it’s all recorded it will become a disc.

The carvings therein looked like an exquisitely crafted ink painting with boundless boundaries and distinct mountains and seas.

map!?

Zhao Qing looked at Jian Ting with a smile and asked doubtfully, "Where is this painting from?"

Jian Ting was trying to think of words, but he didn't know how to explain it.

He smiled bitterly and said softly, "It's an overseas island group. After the clan discovered it, they haven't explored it in detail yet. So they gave it to me as a small gift for my brother to travel around the world."

Pang Zhen got the general idea as soon as he heard it.

He chuckled and said, "That's quite an idea. Junior brother, you've probably never seen something this rare."

"Looking at this painting of Haijingzhou, it should originate from Duanlangzhou and cross the endless sea to the west... the desolate and barren land beyond the ninety states?"

The so-called old place is the place where Yujing Xingque has not yet preached.

During this time, demons and evil spirits were rampant, the place was in great chaos, and the demon race's cultivation was of extremely low quality.

Even more than 30,000 years after the Dao catastrophe... there have been no cultivators in some remote corners of the world.

After some thought and a few whispered words with Pang Zhen, Zhao Qing began to understand the situation.

This Zhongzhou Jian family...

A newly discovered colony?

If you say it's expensive, it's not really that expensive... but it's novel and unusual enough.

Zhao Qing immediately placed the jade plate into Qinghuan's storage ring.

He joked to Jian Ting, "The cultivators from our remote state haven't even found an opportunity to travel to Zhongzhou. And yet, the ancient clans of your Zhongzhou are already thinking about traveling to the sea."

Although he was joking, he was deeply touched.

Yongning Prefecture is a remote and poor place. Those who are doing poorly can only hide at home, and they cannot leave the State of Chu.

If one is successful, he can travel around a state, or go to Qianhuan State, Leihuang State, or even Zhongzhou to visit holy places.

However, the ancient clans and immortal sects in Zhongzhou wanted to go to the countryside and the sea...leave the preaching place in Yujing to explore on their own and gather resources.

Jian Ting chuckled and said, "Brother, you're joking. Jian Ting has never left Zhongzhou for too long, let alone gone to the old place for training."

"The clan is just exploring the vast ocean, looking for some rare mineral veins... After all, the spiritual minerals in Zhongzhou are too few."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly.

"Then I'll take it. I've seen a lot of new and interesting things since I became a walking being."

Xiang Qin smiled like a flower and ended the previous topic with a voice.

"Qin'er also brought a gift with her on this trip."

“But compared to Jane’s chart, it seems too stingy.”

The woman took out a strange lamp and placed it in front of Qinghuan.

Zhao Qing took a quick look.

have to.

I don’t know him.

He simply picked it up and looked at it, then asked Xiang Qin with a curious smile: "Junior sister, do you still want me, a newcomer, to guess the purpose of it yourself?"

The lamp felt cold to the touch, as if it were made of some rare gold...

But there are also extremely slender vines coiled around it, and while the vitality is faintly dissipating, there are several sharp leaves growing at the wick.

Xiang Qin's beautiful eyes smiled as she said briskly, "Not to mention that Senior Brother doesn't know what this is, even Qin'er doesn't quite know what it is."

"This is an item from the Mingyue Mansion's collection. It must have been obtained by our ancestors from ancient ruins."

"Its use is extremely minor. Lighting this lamp at night can draw the moonlight into the Niwan, which has a mild effect of nourishing the mind and soothing the heart."

"Use spiritual fire to light the lamp?" Pang Zhen showed a puzzled look. He also had a mirror to draw the moonlight to nourish his soul, and he specially asked the Phoenix Siren to refine it.

Zhao Qing glanced at his senior brother, then turned to look at Xiang Qin, waiting for an answer.

The woman smiled at Zhao Qing's puzzled expression and couldn't help but become interested.

"Use the moon to light the lamp." She shook her delicate head and stood up, chatting and laughing with everyone about the old memories.

"I used this lamp when I was still cultivating my Qi."

"At that time, every time the moon was clear, all of us, the descendants of the same generation, would sit cross-legged outside the temple under the lights."

"The original intention was to nourish the spiritual consciousness and speed up the cultivation."

"But this lamp sometimes lights up, sometimes goes out, just like it has lost its oil. It is not as beneficial to spiritual practice as ordinary fragrant dew."

"We lied to our master and claimed to be practicing, but in reality, we gathered together to talk and laugh about the absurd things in the sect."

She raised her eyes lightly and looked at Zhao Qing, and explained again.

"Now that Senior Brother has traveled the world, this ancient broken piece of artifact would be a beautiful addition to your home. Perhaps in the future, when Senior Brother explores ancient sites and seeks secrets, he'll have the opportunity to learn the story of this broken lamp."

Zhao Qing: ...

Understood.

antique.

He played with the wooden lamp in his hand and jokingly asked, "Have you forgotten something, Fairy Xiang?"

Xiang Qin's beautiful eyes were startled.

Then he chuckled softly, "We were mortal enemies on the Longyuan trip. It was a great favor that Senior Brother didn't take my life. Qin'er didn't care."

No, no.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Zhao Qing shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't need to make a special trip to Mingyue Mansion, right?"

The woman understood instantly, and her smile seemed very sincere.

"Brother, if you arrive in Yan Chuanzhou, just go to the Blood God Temple to rest. If you want to visit Mingyue Mansion, Qin'er can take you there."

"This gift was not ordered by Master, but I saw that Madam was in the Spirit Refining Realm, and since the ancient lamp was new and rare, I took it out as a gift. If Madam were to use it for solo cultivation, the lamp wouldn't be so easy to extinguish."

When Qinghuan heard that the lamp was for her, her smile became even wider.

She vaguely remembered watching the video at home, where the master crushed Xiang Xuezi's heart and chest, leaving no trace of blood.

However, if the situation were reversed, and the master was weak and had no other means... she would certainly strike without mercy and kill him.

now.

Gu Qinghuan took the wooden lamp handed to her by her host, stood up and bowed to Xiang Qin, smiling gently, "It is too formal for Xiang Xuezi to call you Madam. Qinghuan would like to thank you."

Zhao Qing looked at Xiang Qin's smiling eyes and couldn't help but think of someone.

I even wanted to call that person over and become good friends with Xiang Qin.

If Ning'er and Bai Wanqiu were here, they would probably have the same idea... Isn't Xiang Qin's personality similar to Xian Ning's?

With a dark aura surging in his mind, Si He said with a frivolous smile, "You are a walking being and she is a blood child. How can she possibly give you a cold shoulder?"

"The lamp is nice. Bring it back and let me play with it for two days, then give it to Qinghuan."

Zhao Qing:?

"Could it be that he deliberately stole Qinghuan's things?"

"Bah, how could the master be so knowledgeable as to be on the same level as a little hoof?"

While Zhao Qing was bickering with Si He, he was also chatting and laughing with the two guests in the hall.

Although there is a difference in status now, he is still here to run errands. Otherwise, I would have to go to Zhongzhou to get the town cultivation talisman...

He smiled at the two and asked, "Did you happen to be traveling together in Zhongzhou?"

"Not in the same profession."

Xiang Qin smiled at Jian Ting and complained, "Fairy Ying and I are old acquaintances. I happened to be a guest at the Southern Immortal Holy Land, so I accepted three cultivation talismans and thought of coming to visit."

"Jian Ting came to me on his own, and brought his family's Nascent Soul cultivator with him, coming here in a grand manner..."

Jian Ting slowly put down his teacup and laughed out loud, "Why didn't you say that when I brought you out of Longyuan, you were still half a corpse. Did I mean to touch you on purpose?"

He turned to look at Zhao Qing and Pang Zhen Mengxue, and said sternly, "Senior brothers and sisters, please don't listen to Qin'er's jokes. The clan has already arranged a Taoist partner for Jian, and he has several children."

"Um!?"

Xiang Qin's beautiful eyes narrowed as she stared at Jian Ting with confusion, muttering, "Have you damaged your mind?"

"I was trying to say that you were being too ostentatious by bringing your clan's Nascent Soul. What do you think it is?"

Zhao Qing was silent for a moment.

He began to fan the flames fiercely: "He thought you were going to marry him, but it was hard to decide what to do with your family, and it was even harder to find a place for your offspring."

Jian Ting: ...

He looked back at everyone's teasing gazes, even Gu Qinghuan was looking at him with a mischievous smile...

I just felt ashamed for a moment.

He sighed sincerely, "There are really too many women who want to be my partner, and I get annoyed by the slightest movement. As a result, I've become accustomed to words and haven't considered Xiang Xuezi's straightforward nature."

After hearing this, Xiang Qin's eyes widened even more, and he was speechless.

Zhao Qing frowned. What do you mean there are too many people who want to marry you?

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

He also sighed sincerely, "No kidding, I've just been thinking for a long time, and I can't think of any new and precious treasures to give you in return..."

"I was born in the remote Yongning Prefecture and haven't seen many rare treasures. I've never come across something like the Ancient Lantern Sea Chart before."

Jian Ting was immediately moved and smiled repeatedly in response: "It's just a small gift from my heart, don't mind it, Senior Brother."

"Ah."

"I racked my brains to think of something to give back to you two, but spirit stones are the only thing I can offer."

"I simply have too many spirit stones piled up, and I've become numb from worrying about how to spend them every day..."

When these words were heard, Qinghuan pursed her red lips and suppressed a smile, lowered her delicate head and stood up to fill the teapot.

When Xiang Qin heard these infuriating words, he knew that Zhao Qing was joking in response to Jian Ting.

She also stood up to help Gu Qinghuan make tea and wash the cups, and replied with a cheerful smile: "That's great. Qin'er was born in a sect, so she will have to spend spirit stones in the future. She can help my senior brother spend some."

"However, Jian Xuezi is a direct descendant of the ancient clan, so he shouldn't have any use for spirit stone resources. What a pity..."

Jian Ting was at a loss for words and could only shake his head and sigh, "Brothers and sisters, you don't know that the clan has so many rules and regulations that it's very difficult. It's far less comfortable than the free and easy life of a free cultivator in a sect."

Qing Huan paused while preparing tea and said with a gentle smile, "Then Jian Xuezi can become a freelance cultivator."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qing's heart trembled instantly.

Even Pang Zhen and Meng Xue, who were watching and laughing from the side, noticed something unusual.

However, Xiang Qin clearly didn't understand Qing Huan's personality, and continued to smile as he replied, "That's absolutely right. Jian Xuezi feels that the direct descendants of the ancient clan are suffering, so he can just leave Zhongzhou and become a free and easy traveler."

After Qinghuan prepared the tea, she returned to her master with a smile. When she looked into her master's eyes... a lively smile appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Qing gently embraced the delicate body in his arms. At this moment, he felt excited and overjoyed.

I even wanted to ask Zhang Jinyi for a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

What a deal!

Qinghuan actually knew how to joke!

Qing Huan's voice came to my ears: "Master said that he likes to hear Qing Huan talk a lot... Qing Huan saw Master joking with them, and felt happy so he responded, but he didn't know if it was appropriate.

"appropriate!"

"It's natural!"

Zhao Qing fully affirmed Qinghuan's condition.

Why can everyone else joke and brag, but you, Gu Qinghuan, can't?

He replied to Qing Huan through voice transmission: "They also exchanged greetings with you just now, and Xiang Qin also gave you a gift. If you have anything you want to say or laugh about, just tell them directly."

Qing Huan secretly lowered her eyes, and said softly with a smile: "This slave has nothing to say to them, I just want to please the master. It is enough for this slave to stay by the master's side."

???

……

After talking and laughing, Zhao Qing naturally did not really take out the spirit stone to give it to him.

I remember that from the information Long Yuan had received before, Xiang Qin practiced water magic and was good at spiritual awareness, and was also a talisman practitioner.

No wonder she knew Fairy Xingying from the South...

Zhao Qing picked out a magic talisman from his magic ring and gave it to the other party as a gift.

As for Jian Ting, he gave him a Jindan-level mechanical beast puppet in return, which was just a token of his appreciation.

There's no way he was joking before.

Now I am so poor that I only have money left.

Jian Ting was born into an ancient Zhongzhou clan, and he was surrounded by Nascent Souls who followed him around to protect him. Giving him a spiritual treasure or artifact was too vulgar. It would be better to give him a mechanical beast as a toy...

In addition, Meng Xue had already prepared some other rare and precious herbs as gifts.

Since the Blood Son of Zhongzhou came to Yongning as a guest, the Blood God Peak would naturally not let him return empty-handed.

Although the rare treasures for cultivation and the magical puppets are not as novel as the ancient lamps and sea charts of these two, this time it also gives enough face to the two blood sons.

It was the afternoon.

After the banquet in the Blood God Temple, Jian Ting and Xiang Qin set off to say goodbye.

Zhao Qing smiled and invited the guests to stay: "You have never been to Yongning, why don't you stay in Jiuhua for a few days and explore?"

On the Blood Jade Flying Boat, Xiang Qin said with a cheerful smile, "Senior Brother and Qing Huan must be very intimate, so we won't disturb them."

Jian Ting bowed solemnly and said goodbye to seniors Pang Zhen and Meng Xue.

He whispered, "Jian Ting also wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately he is about to reach the Jindan stage. Brothers and sisters, when you arrive in Zhongzhou one day, just ask Jian Ting to go and greet you."

Forming a pill?

Xiang Qin suddenly glanced sideways: "Are you going to practice Golden Elixir so soon?"

Jian Ting chuckled and sighed, "The clan has opened a secret trial realm for the Golden Core Realm. After I sort out the trivial matters with my blood son, I will have to retreat and concentrate on forming the Golden Core."

Zhao Qing was silent for a long time, just nodded slightly, and then watched the blood boat turn into a stream of light.

What kind of family is this?

Is there a secret trial realm at home?
