Beauty helps me achieve immortality

At the hour of You, Zhao Qing had just returned home from Dantang half an hour ago.

The gate was knocked again.

Zhao Qing stood in the yard, slowly put away the long axe in his hand, and swept his eyes across the panel in front of him.

[Gained Mountain Splitting Skill Proficiency: 3]

[Gen Zi·Splitting the Mountain Technique: Mastering the Art of Mastery (965/1000)]

I can break through the Mountain-Splitting Technique after practicing it for another day or two... I don't know what changes will happen.

He looked up at the sky, then turned around to open the door for Wang Teng.

Amid the creaking sound, Wang Teng walked into the yard with a smile on his face, carrying a pot of wine.

"Senior Brother Zhao is truly a hidden talent!"

Zhao Qing smiled, feeling a little awkward.

Ever since getting into Pei Jin's car, my life has indeed changed.

But isn’t the contrast a bit too great?

"Brother Wang Teng, please call me Junior Brother. Come and sit down."

His eyes swept over the wine jug that Wang Teng placed on the table.

I still like the way you call me Xiaoqing in a rebellious way...

Wang Teng frowned, then smiled again and said, "Alright, our friendship is not just one or two days."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly and poured a cup of tea for Wang Teng.

Wang Teng took the cup of water, a look of nostalgia on his face.

"I still remember that a long time ago, Junior Brother brought me two Spirit-Refining Pills."

"I think it must have been extraordinary at that time. It's a pity that Mr. Wang never thought of this."

"Now that Junior Brother has entered the Alchemy Hall, winter is almost here. Time flies!"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "I also have to thank you for taking care of me these days, Senior Brother."

"If it weren't for my senior brother, Zhao might still be chopping wood in the mountains. How could he have the time to make pills?"

Wang Teng shook his head slightly.

"It's only a matter of time before Junior Brother enters the Alchemy Hall. How can Wang Teng take credit for it?"

"The Qi Gathering Pills that Junior Brother asked me to collect during this period are all here."

He took out a storage bag from his body and said.

"At first, I was extremely puzzled. Why didn't Junior Brother go to the Alchemy Hall to receive it in person?"

"It wasn't until today that I realized the profound meaning behind this. It turns out that my junior brother was just waiting for the right opportunity!"

Zhao Qing looked strange.

The right time?

He shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, there's no need to be like this. Zhao Qing will always remember our friendship."

"Senior Brother Wang has truly taken care of me. This is undeniable. Senior Brother, please take the pills with you."

"Don't make it difficult for Junior Brother."

Wang Teng was stunned and nodded heavily.

"With your words, Junior Brother, I have wasted these two years in the kitchen."

"Junior brother, have you ever thought about moving to Jiaziyuan?"

"Due to the trial, there are fewer junior brothers in the kitchen, but two courtyards have been vacated."

"Brother, move over there so we can be neighbors."

Zhao Qing's eyes moved slightly. Move to Jiaziyuan?

Jiaziyuan is indeed much better than Dingziyuan...

But wouldn’t you be tired of digging the cellar as my wife?

He shook his head and said, "That's not necessary."

"Brother, if you have time, please find two servants to come and repair the wall and replace the gate."

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Wang Teng said goodbye and left.

Zhao Qing thought silently that it would not be appropriate to take back the Qi Gathering Pills he had given away.

Besides, those pills are not of much value to me now...

The next day, Chenshi.

After Zhao Qing had eaten and drunk his fill, he went to the Dan Hall.

However, when he arrived at his alchemy room, he found that no one was inside.

Where is Gu Qinghuan?

I was stood up?

Zhao Qing: ...

That's right, he has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. After all, he is still an outer disciple. I guess he regretted it the more he thought about it at night.

After thinking about it for a while, he smiled helplessly, boiled some hot water for himself and stopped thinking about it.

Then he began to think about what Lu Zheng said yesterday.

I used the sect's alchemy materials for free and split the profits with the Purple Pill Pavilion 50-50...

It's okay to be greedy for some Qi Gathering Pills and lower the success rate, after all, there are always losses in alchemy.

But if we really take it all for free and just split the profits...?

Zhao Qing found that he was in a dilemma whether to do it or not.

If I really want to partner with them and become a parasite, even though Pei Jin is protecting me, there is no free lunch in the world and there will always be some risks.

But if I don't do it, and I know about their affairs, I will be in trouble now.

What a deal!

Zhao Qing suddenly realized that when he met Pei Jin, there was no way out.

Even if Lu Zheng hadn't come to see him yesterday, and sent a message to Yu, the situation would still be the same as it is now.

If someone else encountered this situation, what would they do?

He pondered silently and found the answer from many cases in his previous life.

If we can't draw a clear line between ourselves and the Purple Dan Pavilion...

Then eat both!

The success rate of the pills refined for Zidan Pavilion should be lowered, so as to seize the time to arm oneself and improve strength.

The connection with the Blood Robe Building also needs to be strengthened...

dong dong dong.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Zhao Qing sensed it a little bit with his spiritual sense, Gu Qinghuan?

"come in."

The woman pushed the door open and came in, holding a pot of grass in her hand, and placed it under the window.

Zhao Qing glanced at the grass and ignored it.

Instead, he looked at his junior sister in front of him: "Why are you so late?"

Gu Qinghuan turned around and closed the door, his expression calm as he said, "Qinghuan knows the rules, so I hesitated before coming here, which delayed me."

rule?

Zhao Qing was puzzled: "What rules do you mean?"

The woman stood to one side, speaking in a calm and composed manner. "Many of the sisters in the academy are in the Dan Hall. This is no secret. Once Qing Huan enters this door, she will be my sister's person, whether as a Taoist companion or a medicine slave. This is the truth."

Zhao Qing: ...

So fucking honest.

"Then why are you hesitating?"

The woman smiled lightly and said bluntly: "Of course I am hesitant about whether to choose Senior Brother or not. Will there be a better choice in the future?"

Zhao Qing was stunned.

Why didn’t I notice you were so stupid yesterday?

Just choose it, why bother saying it out loud?

Can't you even say you're delayed?

He simply stopped talking nonsense and pointed at the talc and Glauber's salt on the ground and said, "Grind the herbs. This is what Junior Sister Sun didn't finish grinding. You can grind it."

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly, squatted on the ground and began to pick herbs.

"Junior Sister Sun rubbed it with her feet." Zhao Qing reminded.

The woman paused, silently took off her boots and socks, took off her outer robe, and stepped on the sharp Glauber's salt with her slender toes.

Zhao Qing glanced at her slender figure and met her clear eyes, feeling a little surprised.

Pretty obedient?

He did not forget the main thing. Whether this woman could be kept depended on whether she had any problems. Her talent and qualifications were secondary.

"Where is home?"

"Qinghuan grew up near Tianshui County."

Tianshui...is a bit far away.

"What kind of business does your family have? Are there any monks?"

"I only have one sister, and she is mortal."

Only one sister...no father and no mother?

Zhao Qing suppressed his doubts, and his eyes swept over the woman's blushing ears again, meeting her clear eyes again.

There is always an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.

It was as if... when I was looking at her, she was also looking at me.

"Are you looking at me?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly: "I am a little curious."

Zhao Qing continued, "Do you know that what you are doing now is what a medicine slave would do?"

"Qing Huan knows."

"With your cultivation level, you are now considered an outer disciple. Do you regret it?"

The woman looked down at the medicinal herbs that were just beginning to show signs of growth, bent down to smooth them out, and stepped on them again with her delicate little feet.

"If Qing Huan regrets it, will Senior Brother let me leave?"

When Zhao Qing heard this, he finally felt relieved.

It’s better to regret it so as not to waste your energy and stop the loss in time.

He knew in his heart that if he taught Gu Qinghuan the various alchemist experiences provided by the panel, she might be able to do better than him.

Of course, all this is based on a prerequisite: you have to enter your own home.

He simply nodded: "Of course I'll let you go. The door is right there, just push it."

There was a smile in the woman's eyes, she was pure and beautiful.

"Qing Huan brought all the spiritual plants that I have been raising for two years. Naturally, I won't regret it."

Zhao Qing stood up and made himself a cup of spiritual tea, which was something he had to do every day when he went to the Dan Hall.

After all, I am not a small errand boy anymore, so I have to get used to the environment in private.

"Have you ever thought about becoming an alchemist here before?"

"Of course I have thought about it."

"Then why don't you regret using you as a drug slave?"

Gu Qinghuan's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "Brother, do you think that medicine slaves are inferior to Taoist companions or alchemists?"

Zhao Qing was silent for a moment. It seemed to make sense?

There is some truth to that.

He looked directly at the woman and asked, "Do you feel that you are lowly now?"

Gu Qinghuan blushed, but a smile flashed in her eyes. She shook her head gently and said, "No."

Zhao Qing pulled off her lining, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

However, before he could ask, the woman continued, "There's nothing low about love between a man and a woman."

"The lowly ones are the drug slaves that no one wants."

Gu Qinghuan took off all her clothes, leaned forward with her slender body, and her pretty face was right in front of Zhao Qing.

"Brother, do you know that many female cultivators in the Dancao Workshop have become addicted to elixirs?"

Zhao Qing nodded slightly.

I silently pondered Gu Qinghuan’s words…Are those lowly ones the drug slaves that no one wants?

"Brother, do you know that there are still some female cultivators in Caofang who used to work as medicine slaves in the Dan Hall... But too many senior brothers died in the Nanze incident, and they were abandoned. Now they have no one to rely on and can only be humiliated by others?"

Zhao Qing looked thoughtful, this was the first time he heard of it.

But think about it, it's true.

He became interested and nodded, "Go on, I want to listen."

Gu Qinghuan shook his head and changed his words: "I know that Senior Brother is not attracted by Qinghuan's appearance, so he is willing to try to enter this door."

"Brother, are you curious about Qinghuan's family affairs?"

Zhao Qing handed over the teacup: "I'm all ears."

Gu Qinghuan took the teacup, curled up her legs and leaned against the corner of the bed.

"Qinghuan has been an orphan since childhood. Ever since I can remember, I have always been with my older sister. She is thirteen years older than me."

"My sister taught me to read and write, to paint, to dance and to sing. Brother, do you know how she makes a living?"

"What do you do for a living?"

Gu Qinghuan's face was filled with reminiscence as he answered his own questions. "She was lowly, adrift, and had a miserable life with little blessings."

"My sister is a prostitute. She's not one of those female cultivators in the Zhongmiao Residence in Danxia City, but a common woman who can be slept with by anyone."

"When I was young, she took me to wander around Tianshui County, lingering in the willow-covered land."

"But he protected me very well, saying that he was waiting for a good price and would find a good family to marry me off to."
