Beauty helps me achieve immortality

The wind was biting cold on the official road going down the mountain.

This is already the second day of winter.

Zhao Qing's hair was flying and he walked steadily as he headed straight to the south of Danxia City.

Gu Qinghuan followed closely beside him, taking small steps, as if afraid of accidentally walking in front of his master.

The first time she went out with Zhao Qing, her thoughts were somewhat confused.

The woman had a smile on her lips, her eyes always fixed on the shoulder of her master...

The next moment, Gu Qinghuan only saw Zhao Qing stretching out his hand, and she subconsciously handed hers over.

Then the slender hand was tightly wrapped in warmth.

"Go faster."

A gentle voice came from her ears, bringing her thoughts back from drifting in the wind.

Zhao Qing looked at the woman beside him with an unnatural expression and thought for a moment.

Could it be that Qinghuan is not adapting well?

He thought about it and let go of the other person's hand.

Let Gu Qinghuan hug his arm.

"You and I are not master and servant, so there's no need to be too formal."

He thought for a moment and then said, "From now on you can call me husband."

Gu Qinghuan hugged his arms tightly, her eyes covered by her hair messed up by the wind.

She shook her head gently, shaking her black hair out of her eyes, and smiled, "Qinghuan understands, but the master... is the master."

"Why?" Zhao Qing wondered.

The woman's beautiful eyes were filled with affection: "Qing Huan doesn't want to be a Taoist partner, she only wants to be the master's medicine slave."

"If the master takes a concubine in the future, there will be other women who will call you husband."

"But the master can only call Qinghuan, isn't that good?"

Zhao Qing was stunned.

Seems... reasonable?

Never mind, it’s just a title, just treat it as a fun thing.

I wouldn't really treat Qinghuan as an object to be used at will.

Si hour.

Nanfang Zidan Pavilion.

Zhao Qing took Gu Qinghuan and walked directly into the shop.

Behind the counter is still that somewhat familiar face, young and beautiful.

"Yihan." He greeted.

"Brother Qing, Yihan has been waiting for a long time." Xie Yihan smiled, glanced at Gu Qinghuan, stood up, walked to the door and closed it.

After Zhao Qing nodded, he went straight to the backyard.

Before Gu Qinghuan could catch up, Xie Yihan took her arm and took her to the backyard.

"Is it Qinghuan? Senior Brother Pei mentioned you to me before. At first he even said that he wanted you to stay with me."

"Qinghuan meets Sister Yihan."

……

In the courtyard, Lu Zheng was already sitting at the stone table.

After he and Zhao Qing exchanged greetings, he glanced at Gu Qinghuan and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Qinghuan, Senior Brother Zhao brought you here and he holds you very dear to his heart!"

Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head.

I thought to myself that it was rare for this kid to say anything pleasant.

He pulled the woman to sit beside him and said softly, "What happens here must not be spread outside."

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly, then stood up to help Xie Yihan make tea.

Zhao Qing looked at Lu Zheng and asked in confusion, "Why is this courtyard so quiet?"

As soon as he came in, he noticed something strange. The cold wind was howling outside, but when he entered the yard, it felt like entering a room.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know..."

"Two tiger demons died on Shouyun Mountain a few days ago."

Tiger demon?

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, knowing what he was talking about.

"Demon beasts are like cultivators. When they reach the Jindan stage, they will produce a demon pill."

"The tiger demon's demon pill has the effect of calming the wind."

Lu Fang looked at Zhao Qing who looked thoughtful and added with a smile.

"Of course, the tiger demon that died on Shouyun Mountain was only in the 100-day foundation-building stage and was still far from forming a pill... One of the tiger heads is in the Pill Pavilion."

"Although it can't dispel various wind-calling spells, it can still calm ordinary natural wind and rain."

Zhao Qing nodded silently and took careful note of what Lu Fang said.

The next moment, he had another question... One hundred days to build the foundation?

He thought about it and didn't ask any more questions. He planned to buy a book on martial arts and study it himself.

If I ask Lu Zheng about the realm breakthrough, he will not be able to explain it clearly in a short time.

Gu Qinghuan helped Xie Yihan put down the teacup.

Then he sat back next to Zhao Qing.

Xie Yihan said, "Are you talking about that skull? Senior Brother Pei found it in the mountains. It's not as amazing as Lu Zheng said."

Zhao Qing silently picked up the teacup without responding.

It takes strength to be able to go into the mountains to pick up trash. At least I don’t dare to go to that kind of place.

At that moment, Zhao Qing suddenly realized that Pei Jin's status in his heart had plummeted...

He glanced at Xie Yihan again, knowing that she and Pei Jin must be very close, otherwise she wouldn't say such straightforward words to ruin their relationship.

Lu Zheng coughed lightly.

He took off the storage ring and said, "Three hundred precious flowers, all are here."

Xie Yihan's eyes flashed as he looked at Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing said: "It is slightly different from the previous estimate, but the difference is not much."

He reached out and patted Qinghuan on the shoulder.

The woman took off the spiritual ring on her hand and placed it on the table.

Xie Yihan looked puzzled, picked up the spirit ring and took a quick look at it, then soon smiled.

"It's okay. Brother Qing's elixirs... maybe I can sell more spirit stones."

The next moment, she also took out two storage rings.

He simply said to Lu Zheng, "For the remaining 1,400 portions, which will yield 950 finished pills, I have asked three alchemists to refine them."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and picked up the storage ring to check.

This really opened Zhao Qing's eyes.

I also figured out the general situation.

Pei Jin was a hands-off boss, letting Lu Zheng and Xie Yihan make money as they pleased...and there was also some restraint between the two of them.

But overall, Xie Yihan has the final say.

The woman collected all the spiritual rings on the table.

He stood up and said, "At this point, all of Baohua's elixir materials have been consumed, a total of 2,800."

"One thousand nine hundred and seventy finished pills have all arrived at the Dan Pavilion."

Zhao Qing and Lu Zheng looked at each other, nodded slightly, and waited for the next step.

The woman bowed and said, "Wait a moment, Yihan will be back soon."

She turned and walked towards the deepest part of the courtyard, outside the wing room...

A flash of light flashed between his fingers, and as the subtle spiritual energy rippled, the door opened.

Zhao Qing withdrew his gaze and only caught a glimpse of a pill furnace in the room. It was shining with silver light and was at least a treasure of great value.

He knew clearly that the house should be Pei Jin's residence.

Soon, Xie Yihan returned to the yard with a smile on his face.

"Lü Zheng, your fifteen mid-grade spirit stones."

"Brother Qing, your thirty-six mid-grade spirit stones."

"The alchemists here on my side have a total of forty-seven pills."

The three of them looked at each other and raised their glasses to drink tea.

Zhao Qing picked up the spirit ring and examined it carefully. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the scene of the rampant spiritual energy.

He suppressed his joy, grabbed Gu Qinghuan's wrist, and put the spiritual ring on her hand.

Formations, techniques, weapons, and talismans.

You can buy it today...

Gu Qinghuan looked down at the spiritual ring on her finger, her nose felt sore and her eyes were filled with brilliance.

Compared with the wealth of 3,600 spirit stones, what made her even more uneasy was the trust from Zhao Qing.

No, there are outsiders present...

The woman clenched her fists, slowly raised her head to comb the hair by her ears, a faint smile in her eyes.

Lu Zheng also put away his spirit ring, put down his teacup and said, "The herb workshop has run out of ingredients for the elixir recently. The Soul-Refining Pill is still missing a main ingredient called Xiangnan Teng... I guess we'll have to wait until the winter solstice."

Xie Yihan said, "Then Lu Zheng, you should keep a close eye on it and let Brother Qing know when the time comes."
