Beauty helps me achieve immortality

After leaving Zhou Xiaoyi's room, Zhao Qing found his own compartment on the second floor.

After using the guest token of the Blood Robe Tower to activate the formation, he pushed the door open and walked in.

The compartment layout is no different from the others, it is just a temporary resting place.

But Zhou Xiaoyi obviously lived in the Blood Clothes Building, and she also warned herself not to reveal her whereabouts.

This undoubtedly means that she is hiding from someone.

And there's a high probability that they are from the Danxia Sect...

Zhao Qing did not stay for long. He used the fifty spirit stones he got as change from Huanyu Pavilion to buy ingredients for refining the Soul-Refining Pill.

I plan to go back and slowly make progress, otherwise once the Soul-Refining Pills on me are used up, I won't be able to meet the minimum requirement to become a guest of the Blood-Ridge Tower.

After settling everything, he quickly rushed to the sect before it got dark.

Although I have seen through Elder Qian's wishful thinking, it does not mean that I won't encounter robbery cultivators on the way back.

He crossed the East Quarter and deliberately passed by the area where stalls were set up, but he did not find Le An's talisman stall in the usual place.

In the East Quarter, there are only a few monks setting up stalls, and the long street that was once bustling with people is now completely covered with withered yellow leaves.

"The Le'an family probably moved out of Danxia City." Zhao Qing guessed.

Not finding Le An, he did not stay any longer and directly bought a golden talisman from another stall nearby for protection, and headed straight for the outside of Danxia City along the long street of Dongfang.

This time he took an official road leading to the countryside, which would pass by the outskirts of Shouyun Mountain. He could take a detour from there and return directly to the kitchen. This was the road he took when he and Wang Shuyue took a donkey cart for the first time.

Now that we understand the root cause of the conflict between the Four Symbols Sect and the Danxia Sect, this path is undoubtedly the lowest-risk option.

Apart from the servants in the kitchen, few fellow brothers in the sect passed by here.

·

The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.

There was no one on the official road, only dead leaves flying all over the sky, chasing each other and flying to their respective destinations.

Zhao Qing carefully observed his surroundings and relaxed a little after not finding anything unusual, but he still held the golden talisman in his sleeve tightly in his hand.

He began to think about the next arrangements.

If Elder Qian surrendered to the enemy, how would he take the brothers away?

Will it affect the menial disciples?

Will the Qian guy go all out and massacre Danxia as a gesture of surrender?

Zhao Qing thought hard.

What he was more concerned about was how much impact Qian Hongwei's surrender to the enemy would have on his family.

As for what secrets are hidden in Shouyun Mountain, I don’t really care.

Firstly, he has no chance of getting it, and secondly, it will not have any impact on him.

Especially since the cellar has been completely renovated now, the impact of the monster tide can be almost completely ignored.

But in my spare time, I can't help but feel curious when I see Shouyun Mountain right in front of me.

Zhao Qing deduced all the possible things that might happen next.

The probability of discovering that you are affected is less than 10%.

This made me feel a little relieved.

According to Zhou Xiaoyi, Qian Hongwei was going to join the Four Symbols Sect with his alchemist and elixirs.

It would be impossible for him to directly fall out with the sect, not to mention whether the sect leader would come out of seclusion at any time. Just the fact that he slaughtered his disciples would be impossible to explain to his followers...

Zhao Qing felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. After all, his vision was too narrow and he had no idea what those high-ranking figures were thinking.

Anyway, if something happens, just activate the formation and enter the cellar.

The cellar leads to the mountainside outside the kitchen. If the situation is not right, just leave.

He took out the blood order of the Blood Robe Tower again, and under the perception of his spiritual power, he unconsciously showed joy.

One more road...

Zhao Qing knew very well that this guest token was not just his way of retreat.

If used properly, it is not impossible to build a road to success.

This means more resources, a faster and more convenient trading environment, a wider network of contacts, and a safer and more secure retreat.

But the premise of all this is... supplying three Spirit-Refining Pills every month.

The three coins for this month have been given to Wan'er, and there are enough for next month.

But before winter comes, the Soul-Refining Pill must be ground out, otherwise, one can only buy the pill supply from other places.

For an alchemist, this is an insult.

Zhao Qing habitually opened the panel to check.

[Alchemist: First-level Lower Grade (1350/2000)]

[Bond: Intimacy]

[Bond Experience Bonus: 5]

[Qi Gathering Pill Mastery: Mastery and Perfection (116/1000)]

[Gen Zi·Splitting the Mountain Technique: Mastering the Art of Mastery (680/1000)]

[Li Zi·Chi Lian Jue: Entering the Hall and Mastering the Mastery (77/100)]

With his current level as an upper-grade alchemist, he is fully capable of trying to refine pills for the late stage of Qi Refining. It’s a pity that he has not given birth to spiritual consciousness, so the success rate of pills is very low.

And now his most skilled Qi Gathering Pill is of little use.

There are far fewer independent cultivators in Danxia City than before, and the price of Qi Gathering Pills has been falling again and again, so the profit margin is too small.

Moreover, the unit price is low, so it is no longer suitable as a long-term strategic goal.

I have to try some high-level elixirs in the future... the Soul-Refining Pill, the Meridian-Protecting Pill, and even the Rejuvenating Pill.

"Good things take time. If the alchemist's realm breaks through again, it might be of help." Zhao Qing sighed to himself.

……

Nearing the fork in the road, he turned directly into the west side of Shouyun Mountain. Only after he saw the outline of the kitchen courtyard from afar along the foot of the mountain did he completely relax.

all the best.

Half an hour later, night fell over the sky, and Zhao Qing rushed to the kitchen in the last rays of sunset.

He planned to go to Wang Teng to inquire about the situation inside the sect and see if it was consistent with what Zhou Xiaoyi said. Since it was related to the safety of his family, it was better to be more cautious. If he listened to one side blindly, he would suffer a great loss sooner or later.

But he just took a step forward and stopped again.

Looking up at the night sky, he decided to go home and report that he was safe so as not to worry his wife.

It’s not too late to see Wang Teng tomorrow.

After a cup of tea, the gate of Dingzimohao Courtyard opened, and Wang Shuyue welcomed her husband into the yard with full of concern.

It was not until they entered the east wing that his wife asked, "Is there any danger on the road?"

Zhao Qing shook his head slightly, gently holding his wife's waist and said, "I've already figured out the situation in the clan. It shouldn't affect us. Besides, my husband is now a guest of the Blood Robe Tower. In this emergency, we should leave the kitchen directly from the cellar and head to the city to avoid disaster."

He took out the blood order from the storage ring and put it in his wife's hand to reassure her.

Wang Shuyue's slender hand touched the cold blood order and she suddenly retracted it. After she adjusted herself, she took it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.

"The Bloody Clothes Building...is that the West Square Commercial Building that my husband often mentioned?"

Her face lit up with joy as she snuggled into her husband's arms: "My dear husband, please don't work too hard. Even if I accompany you to find a village to spend the rest of your life, Shuyue will be content."

Zhao Qing smiled without saying anything, took the wooden comb and combed his wife's hair.

If the virtual panel had not appeared, it would have been great to retire to the mountains and become an ordinary couple.

But now...

"I want to try to obtain some resources to help you cultivate and at least extend your lifespan."

He ran his fingers through his wife's black hair and pinched her ear.

Wang Shuyue turned to look at Zhao Qing, a faint warmth on her pretty face.

The curve of her lips was as perfect as a crescent moon, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes: "Husband, you smell so good!"
