Beauty helps me achieve immortality

The sky gradually darkened.

In the west wing, Shuyue and Qinghuan were still busy.

Zhao Qing, somewhat worried, used his psychic skills, sending out his spiritual sense to observe secretly...

Gu Qinghuan was sitting on a small wooden stool at this moment, with her sleeves rolled up, chopping the meat stuffing carefully.

From time to time, she would stir it with bamboo chopsticks or take a sip to taste it.

Her slender hands were covered in white flour, and her storage ring was taken off and placed on the side of the chopping board...

She looks like a housewife.

This really opened Zhao Qing's eyes.

In the past, whenever Qinghuan interacted with me, she always acted weak and gentle, always talking about her master.

And tease myself from time to time.

Or when refining the elixir, she would concentrate fully, her slender hands would emit strands of spiritual energy, and her sleeves would dance.

And then there is...

There is often a smile in the girl's eyes, but sometimes she appears extremely sensitive.

But Zhao Qing had never seen such a posture before.

Snowflakes were drifting in the wind in the yard. The woman gripped the knife handle tightly and slashed at the chopping board.

Making a clicking sound.

It does feel a bit like a fairy falling into the mortal world.

Shuyue was watching carefully beside her and talking softly.

"My husband sometimes can't go to the Dan Hall, but it's not intentional to ignore you."

"If you are wronged by him, remember to tell me."

"Do you go back to Tianshui to celebrate the New Year in previous years?"

Gu Qinghuan smiled and shook her head, whispering, "Sister has her own life, I rarely bother her."

Wang Shuyue nodded slightly.

He took the kitchen knife from her hand and said, "Just call me Shuyue from now on. Don't be so formal... If you're not used to it, just call me sister?"

The gentle woman's beautiful eyes were startled, and she said softly, "Sister."

"My husband actually cares about you very much. He told me a long time ago that he would take you home."

"He also said that from now on, our family's spirit stones will have to be earned by you through alchemy, and he has to concentrate on practicing so that he can protect you and me."

As if sensing the somewhat dull atmosphere, Wang Shuyue smiled again and said, "Have you read 'Alchemy for Immortality'? It tells the story of an alchemist..."

……

Zhao Qing withdrew his spiritual consciousness and stopped watching the two women get along.

He was quite surprised that the scene in the West Wing was completely different from what he had imagined.

Shuyue often has a bad temper, but now it seems that she is taking good care of Qinghuan.

Qinghuan seduces herself at every turn in the alchemy room and even says some obscene words boldly.

But when it came to Shuyue, he became half dumb...

He collected his thoughts and looked at the huge soft couch in the underground palace.

It seems that the main target of tonight should be Shuyue, Qinghuan is more obedient.

As long as we can capture Shuyue...it's relatively easy.

He looked down at the poker he had just made and put it into his storage ring.

A panel appeared before my eyes.

[Gain proficiency in the art of communicating with the spirits: 1]

[Li Zi Tong You: Comprehensive Understanding, Perfection (35/1000)]

Zhao Qing thought silently.

After Qinghuan settles down at home, I will stop making pills to make money for the time being.

I had put my cultivation progress on hold in the past in order to earn enough resources for practice.

Now the family has everything they need, and in the past two months, they have saved up five thousand spirit stones.

No matter how many spirit stones you earn, they are of little use. You have to be able to keep them.

Just refine some Spirit-Refining Pills for yourself every month, and then try the Foundation-Building Pills after you have achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation.

As for the other pills that are made to earn spirit stones... leave them to Qinghuan for the time being.

Refining pills by oneself consumes spiritual energy, which will slow down the accumulation of progress in the art of communicating with the spirits, and there will be no time for meditation and practice.

From now on, you have to focus on cultivation, otherwise... even if you have the life to earn money, it is difficult to guarantee that you will have the life to spend it.

Besides, Qing Huan only earns a few hundred spirit stones a month, which is enough for the three of them to spend on daily expenses...

Zhao Qing secretly made plans for the coming year.

[Qian Zi·Five Elements Transformation: Comprehensive Understanding·Mastery (16/1000)]

It takes six hours to complete a full cycle of my own skills. If I don't focus on controlling the flow of spiritual energy, I can only accumulate two points of proficiency a day.

This can only be accumulated over time.

[Kanzi·Xuancai Yinyang: Comprehensive Understanding·Perfection (260/1000)]

The practice of dual cultivation only takes a few days.

Zhao Qing's eyes flashed. He felt that the dual cultivation method was more important than his own method.

If I could break through to the ultimate level, or even a higher level...

Not only will he benefit, but Shuyue and Qinghuan's practice efficiency will also increase accordingly.

What a pity...otherwise, the accumulation of proficiency would definitely be much faster.

Being a man is so difficult.

……

In winter, it gets dark very early.

Before the hour of You was over, the night had already covered the sky.

The snowflakes are still falling, and it seems that they will continue into next year.

Shuyue quietly went to the bedroom and spoke to Zhao Qing in a low voice.

"Husband, please go and keep Qinghuan company. I think something is wrong with her."

Zhao Qing smiled.

He held his wife in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't go out of your way to take care of her. It'll make her feel vulnerable."

"Qing Huan didn't come home before... It wasn't because I didn't want to come, but because I felt I couldn't contribute."

He patted his wife's shoulder and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

West Wing.

Zhao Qing pushed the door open and walked in. The woman who was frying spring pancakes slowly turned around.

When she saw that it was Zhao Qing who came, her eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Master has never eaten the food cooked by Qinghuan. Let's try it today."

"I asked my sister to rest. She seemed to be a little cold."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, held the woman's cold slender hand, and took the spring rolls out of the pan.

Qinghuan turned around and looked into his eyes, tenderness in them.

The next moment, she handed her other wrist to Zhao Qing, and the two slender arms were crossed and held above the head by the master.

She leaned her delicate body forward, pressing against her master.

Zhao Qing looked at Qinghuan's expression in front of him. Isn't this quite normal?

He thought for a moment and whispered, "Where do you want to sleep tonight?"

The woman's eyes were blazing: "Qing Huan listens to the master."

Zhao Qing nodded: "I bought a lot of fireworks. Let's sit in the yard at midnight."

At this moment, spiritual energy surged in Zhao Qing's arms, which was the unique fluctuation of the communication jade.

Gu Qinghuan slowly retracted the arm that was raised above his head and said softly, "Master, please be busy now. We should be able to eat in another half an hour."

"it is good."

Zhao Qing took out the communication jade in confusion and unexpectedly found that it was his aunt's.

He walked silently into the yard and stood in the rippling snowflakes to look.

"I'm spending the New Year in the capital. You don't need to look for me in the Blood Robe Tower these days."

Zhao Qing looked at the words on the spiritual jade and his brows slowly furrowed.

What does it mean?

Is that considered a pick-up?

Zhao Qing was a little confused. Logically speaking, given Zhou Xiaoyi's personality, she shouldn't actively talk nonsense to him again...

He didn't think much about it. Since his aunt had taken the initiative to send the message, he couldn't let the words fall on the ground this time.

If I send another "OK", I probably won't be able to get a date in this life.

He thought for a moment and replied, "I just arrived in the city. If that's the case, I'll go back."

Soon, my aunt summoned me again.

"What are you doing in the city?"

Zhao Qing said casually, "Nothing, Shuyue made some glutinous rice balls and was planning to send some to you."

A cup of tea passed and there was no movement from the communication jade.

Zhao Qing didn't take it seriously and just put the spiritual jade away.

It's quite interesting to flirt with my aunt when I have nothing to do.

·

In the compartment on the second floor of the Bloody Clothes Building.

The woman quietly looked at the snowflakes outside the window, her beautiful eyes flashing with a gleam.

The other communication jade in her hand was surging with spiritual energy.

It's a letter from home.

"Let's not talk about Nan Ze's misfortune for now. The poison of the master has recurred today, and my adoptive father has ordered you not to delay."

Zhou Xiaoyi's eyes flashed coldly, and she frowned and replied, "Wait."

She glanced at the deserted streets outside the window, with only falling snow and cold wind as companions. The entire West Quarter was empty.

Most people are alone with their families at this moment.

The woman thought of the chaos in the Duke's Mansion, and a ripple appeared in her calm heart.

At this time of year, it’s nice to have a bowl of glutinous rice balls...

She picked up Zhao Qing's communication jade and frowned slightly.

What Zhao Qing said cannot be trusted.

He must be teasing me again...

Even if he really has feelings for me, it is impossible for him to leave home on New Year's Eve.

Zhou Xiaoyi stopped thinking about it and sat cross-legged with her eyes closed in meditation.

The cold wind from the street blew the window panes, disturbing people.

A man's gentle voice seemed to echo in my ears: "I think the Four Symbols Sect is about to fall apart..."

After an unknown amount of time, her beautiful eyes slowly opened.

He picked up the communication jade and asked, "Where are you in the city?"

……
