Beauty helps me achieve immortality

The next morning.

Zhao Qing had just finished breakfast and was about to go out to the Dan Hall.

There was a knock on the gate.

Feeling the two familiar auras, he calmly walked forward and opened the door.

Creaking...

The dilapidated wooden door protested, and the figures of Wang Teng and Lu Zheng appeared before their eyes.

Zhao Qing was a little confused.

How did these two get together?

He hadn't seen Wang Teng for some time since he left Wang Jiao last time.

Wang Teng smiled and bowed: "Junior Brother Zhao has been promoted to the Dan Hall, but he didn't even tell me. Let's celebrate in the kitchen."

Zhao Qing glanced at Lu Zheng and returned the gift to Wang Teng.

"Brother, you're too polite. I was just temporarily assigned to help the sect. Why celebrate?"

Wang Shuyue walked out of the bedroom, bowed slightly to the two of them, placed the teapot and teacups on the table, and then returned to the room.

Wang Teng laughed and said, "That won't do. The Alchemy Hall is the foundation of the sect..."

"Eh!"

"Senior Brother Zhao doesn't like publicity, so there's no need to mention it!"

Lu Zheng spoke and walked into the courtyard.

Then he turned and looked at Wang Teng: "Why are you standing there? Come and sit down."

Zhao...Senior Brother Zhao?

Wang Teng's mouth twitched, and he saluted and said, "Brother Lu, you must have come here for something important, so I won't bother you."

He looked at Zhao Qing again: "Brother Zhao, Wang Teng will come again in the evening."

Zhao Qing said as he glanced at Lu Zheng again. He nodded and said, "Okay."

After he sent Wang Teng away, he closed the gate.

Then he turned around to pour tea and smiled at Lu Zheng.

"Junior Brother Lu, aren't you deliberately humiliating Wang Teng by doing this?"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "Let's not talk about that. I just came to the kitchen to find you and asked him to lead the way."

Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly.

With Senior Brother Pei Jin protecting me, I can walk with confidence...

In the past two days, he has learned that Senior Brother Pei Jin also has a very high status in the entire Danxia Sect.

With the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he alone shoulders most of the affairs of the entire Dan Hall.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the person in charge of Dan Hall.

Zhao Qing nodded slightly and waited for the other party to continue speaking.

Lü Zheng glanced at the teacup and said, "As Brother Pei Jin suggested, I came here to ask Brother Zhao for a few pills for study."

Asking for elixirs and studying?

no problem.

Without saying a word, Zhao Qing took out the only four Qi Gathering Pills he had left.

Lu Zheng took it and looked at it carefully, with a puzzled look on his face. Then he ate one directly and pondered it carefully for a moment.

"It's truly extraordinary, and it's almost as good as the Qi Gathering Pill I refined!"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lu is extremely talented. I, Zhao, cannot compare to him."

Lu Zheng waved his hand: "Eh? Let's not talk about that."

"Brother, are these the only Qi Gathering Pills you have?"

Zhao Qing met Lu Zheng's puzzled look and said with a wry smile, "I exchanged all of them for contributions yesterday."

"Cough! Puff..."

Lu Zheng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea. He looked strange and approached Zhao Qing.

"Brother, you can't exchange elixirs for contributions!"

"Are the things in the Dharma Hall affordable for people?"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "The things in the Dharma Hall are indeed expensive. I only discovered this yesterday."

Lu Zheng sat back in his original position and looked at Zhao Qing.

"There's something I need to tell my brother."

"We took the ingredients from the herb workshop and made some pills. We can submit some... and keep some."

He thought for a moment and said, "So, Senior Brother, from now on, apart from submitting your contribution, all the Qi Gathering Pills you refine will be handled by me!"

Let you handle it?

Zhao Qing started to think, it turns out that he was waiting for me here.

He thought carefully, what could Lu Zheng do with his Qi Gathering Pill?

The courtyard fell into silence for a moment.

After a moment, Zhao Qing picked up his teacup and sipped it gently: "I was thinking of using my contribution to exchange for a set of skills from the Dharma Hall..."

Lu Zheng interrupted directly: "What kind of skills are you talking about? I'll figure it out!"

That's great.

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "That technique isn't very suitable, so let's not talk about it. I'm looking at a manual right now called the Art of Passing the Ghost."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, silently taking note, and then said: "I need to go to the grass workshop to get some alchemy materials. Brother, would you like to come with me?"

Go to Caofang with Lu Zheng?

Are you trying to corrupt me?!

Zhao Qing stood up and said, "I happen to be free, let's talk while we walk."

He said goodbye to his wife, and then they left the yard together.

The kitchen and the thatched house are not too far apart and can be reached quickly.

The two walked side by side, and when they passed a deserted path, Lu Zhengcai started talking about business.

"Brother, I have an idea."

finally come!

Zhao Qing said calmly, "What's your idea?"

"It's like this. The city has been a bit unstable in the past few months, and many alchemy shops have closed down."

"Our Purple Pill Pavilion has naturally been affected as well. Without the pill production volume, we can no longer control the pill prices in the city."

Zhao Qing nodded, and then asked, "Control the price of pills in the city?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

"Danxia City is our sect's own territory, so we naturally have the final say on the price of the pills."

"But we don't have that many alchemists right now, so we can only be led by the nose."

"I've discussed this with Yihan. From now on, Senior Brother, why don't you sell your pills directly at the Purple Pill Pavilion? The Pill Pavilion and Senior Brother will split the profits 50-50."

Fifty-fifty!

Zhao Qing's heart sank.

What is fifty-fifty?

One Spirit-Refining Pill costs the Dan Pavilion eighteen spirit stones, and I have eighteen spirit stones?

Then I am at a loss?

He asked doubtfully, "Fifty-fifty?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "For example, a precious flower is worth ten spirit stones. Senior brother will get five, and Dan Pavilion will get five."

Zhao Qing frowned. Isn't this just blackmailing me?

I only heard the younger brother add in my ear: "The sect will produce the alchemy materials..."

Zhao Qing was shocked.

Can you still play like this?

He turned around and looked at Lu Zheng. What did it mean that the alchemy materials came from a sect?

How could Lu Zheng say such words? The figure of his senior brother who had established his foundation emerged in his mind.

He truly deserves to be the boss of Dan Hall!

"Is this what Senior Brother Pei meant?" he asked.

Lü Zheng laughed and said, "I, Lü Zheng, can't produce any medicinal materials either. Brother, just use them at the Alchemy Hall!"

Zhao Qing thought about it for a moment.

If you get the ingredients for the pill for free, you can get eighteen spirit stones for one Spirit Refining Pill.

If I buy the ingredients myself... the cost is ten spirit stones, and I sell it for thirty-five spirit stones. Even with a 30% discount for the loss of the ingredients, I still get a little over ten spirit stones.

There's actually not much difference between these two options.

He sighed inwardly and suddenly realized that he could not get out of the car since he walked out of the kitchen that day.

For now, I can only agree and discuss it secretly later. At least I have Pei Jin's protection, and he also gave me a communication jade and a lot of pills.

He turned and walked towards the workshop, saying righteously, "Junior brother, there's no need to say more. I, Zhao Qing, will buy the ingredients for the elixir myself. Purple Pill Pavilion is our own shop, and I will deliver the elixir there."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. The Cuifang in the south of the city sells elixir materials. Next time, I'll go with you."

"I'll have Yihan keep an eye out for the spirit communication technique. If you need anything else, you can contact Yihan directly."

The two walked to Dancaofang.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "There are several junior sisters in Caofang who are good at singing and dancing and have excellent skills. I will take you to meet them."

Zhao Qing was heartbroken.

No wonder everyone says Dan Tang is good. He took things from Caofang and even slept with the girls there. He is really not a human being!

Si hour.

Courtyard No. 9, Dancaofang, Jiazi.

After Gu Qinghuan finished her dance, she stepped aside.

Zhao Qing put down the spirit wine in his hand and asked: "Junior Sister Gu, how many years have you been in the sect?"

The woman had a beautiful and elegant appearance, and was very gentle. She bowed and said, "It's been two years."

Lü Zheng smiled and said, "The Alchemy Hall recently gathered the herb workshop staff and assigned them homework. Junior Sister Gu is very familiar with the properties of various medicinal herbs."

"Even Senior Brother Pei was amazed. What Senior Brother Pei meant was that Junior Sister Gu is extremely talented, and it would be best if you were willing to stay by her side and teach her."

"If Senior Brother Zhao has no such intention, Junior Sister Gu should go to Dan Pavilion to keep Yi Han company."

Zhao Qing looked at the young junior fellow beside him and saw that his expression was serious, which was completely different from before.

Accompanying Xie Yihan? It seems this Gu Qinghuan is quite capable...

Zhao Qing turned around and raised his eyebrows, and Lu Zheng shook his head slightly.

I have never eaten the Elysium Pill!

He thought for a moment and decided that it would be okay to have some contact first.

After all, in Dancaofang, finding a decent female cultivator is not much easier than being promoted to the outer sect.

Not to mention it was Pei Jin's idea.

The moment Xie Yihan rescued him that day flashed through Zhao Qing’s mind… Putting aside the character of Senior Brother Pei Jin, his vision was absolutely top-notch.

He thought about it and didn't shy away from Lu Zheng. He took out two ingredients for the Spirit Refining Pill from his storage ring.

"Junior Sister Gu, take a look?"

"Cardomme, young herb, has horizontal rhizomes that are slightly flat, branched, yellowish-brown, and fragrant."

"The mature grass has a glossy green texture, a two-angled peduncle, and sword-shaped leaves that are folded at the base and disordered."

"The most abundant cardamom is called calamus. It is also called sword grass. Its leaves are fragrant and its rhizomes are medicinal."

"It is pungent and bitter in nature, and is often used together with Arisaema to nourish the five internal organs, open the nine orifices, and invigorate the mind and improve intelligence..."

Zhao Qing's expression changed. He immediately put away another herb and said, "Tomorrow, go to Room 80 of the Alchemy Hall. I will teach you some recipes."

He couldn't help but be surprised.

This guy named Gu's understanding of the medicinal properties is not much worse than if he used a cheat.

If there is nothing wrong with her, with a little guidance she can become a human money printing machine... not to mention that she also has superb alchemy skills.

He looked thoughtful and asked again, "What's your spiritual root?"

Gu Qinghuan bowed. "Qinghuan would like to thank Senior Brother Zhao for his cultivation. My aptitude is relatively poor, I only have three types of mixed spiritual roots."

"Which three?"

"Water, wood, fire."

Zhao Qing suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

I've only been at Dantang for a few days...

Spiritual stones, women, fame and fortune, all coming at you!

Is this a chain trap?

How can a chore-doer like me, who has suffered for twenty years, hold on to the bottom line?!

It’s over... I seem to have been corrupted!
