The next day.

Gu Qing got up early, found an open space, used waterbending skills to get some water, and washed himself a little.

These days, he has been living in Lanruo Temple in order to prostitute his tree demon grandma for free.

There is nothing in this damn place. For food and drink, you need to go to the county town several miles away to buy it.

After washing up.

Return to Lanruo Temple.

Gu Qing saw Ning Caichen slowly walking out of the house carrying a luggage rack.

"Scholar, are you leaving now?" Gu Qing greeted.

He had no intention of taking Ning Caichen with him to attend the wedding banquet of the Black Mountain Demon.

after all--

Ning Caichen is just an ordinary person, and taking him with you will only drag you down.

"I still have an old mother who needs to be taken care of at home. She has been out for a long time and it's time to go back." Ning Caichen thought for a while and said, "These fifty taels of silver should be regarded as being lent to you by me. This is an IOU.

When I make money, I will return it to you. My family lives in Wuli Lane, Zhe County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangzhou."

He handed an IOU to Gu Qing with his fingerprints on it.

Originally, Ning Caichen had no intention of accepting this money. What he said yesterday about monopolizing the fifty taels was just an angry talk.

However, after thinking about it for a night, he changed his attention.

The mother at home is bedridden and needs such a sum of money to take better care of her body.

For the sake of his mother, Ning Caichen felt that there was nothing wrong with giving up a little dignity.

Gu Qing waved his hand: "I told you that this is what you deserve. Why are you still worrying about so much? I don't need the money. I will come to your house when the time comes. Just treat me to a drink."

Ning Caichen couldn't help but be moved when he saw Gu Qinghao's angry expression. Even the remaining complaints from yesterday had disappeared.

"Being principled, I will definitely repay the money. If Brother Xiahou comes to my house when he is free, I will definitely prepare fine wine to entertain him." Ning Caichen stubbornly pushed the IOU into Gu Qing's hand.

Gu Qing smiled and accepted the IOU: "Okay, be careful on the road. Do you want me to take you out?"

"No need, I'm already very familiar with this road. I shouldn't run into ghosts again in broad daylight, right?" Ning Caichen said anxiously.

Gu Qing said: "Don't worry, the old witch has been seriously injured and can't make trouble again."

"Okay, brother Xiahou, let's say goodbye." Ning Caichen bowed his hand.

"Farewell."

Gu Qing nodded and watched Ning Caichen leave.

Wait until Ning Caichen leaves.

Gu Qing looked at the IOU in his hand, pinched it gently, and the IOU turned into powder.

He is not interested in money.

If I could use these fifty taels to build a relationship with Ning Caichen, it would be worthwhile.

Maybe the two of them will meet again in the future.

at this time.

Yan Chixia walked over and stretched: "Is the stupid scholar gone?"

"Um."

"It's okay to leave. This book has a very tough life style and is very courageous. In the past, he would have been a good candidate for cultivation. But in the current cultivation world, pulling people to practice will only harm him!"

Gu Qing nodded slightly and said nothing more.

According to what Yan Chixia said, once you become a spiritual practitioner, you cannot control your life or death.

The stronger you become in the future, even surpassing that of the prison, the higher-ups in the underworld will notice you and there is a risk of being taken away from you.

Yan Chixia's master, the leader of the Taoist alliance, the Sword Immortal Li Taiyi, was taken away after seven ritual sacrifices.

True cultivation is a dead end!

Yan Chixia said: "There are still five days until the auspicious day of the underworld. I will go out to help you collect the positive materials for refining the life-fixing pill. By the way, I want to know where the banquet of this old Black Mountain demon is. We can go there directly

past."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, and then said, "Hey, Brother Yan, do you have any basic books on alchemy, talisman making, and weapon refining? I want to read it and learn from it."

After coming to this world, I only focused on dual cultivation, but I haven’t seriously studied the cultivation method of this world.

This can be considered the most important part of the experience.

after all--

After the experience is over, although the cultivation cannot be taken away, the memory can be!

What you learn is what you earn.

"wait."

Yan Chixia took out a talisman from her arms and made a spell in her hand: "The sky and the earth are infinite, the universe borrows the law and appears!"

Buzz——

A burst of space fluctuations came.

Books appeared in his hands and he handed them to Gu Qing.

"These are some secret books that I smuggled out after I left the Taoist Alliance. These books record alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, etc. These books were left behind when the practice world was not controlled by the underworld.

, it is already an only copy, you can take a look." Yan Chixia was very generous.

He had already determined that Gu Qing was the one who broke the situation.

Therefore, he will try his best to satisfy Gu Qing's request.

This bearded man is very honest, and he is not afraid that I will run away... Gu Qing took the books one by one.

Although there are many books, with his photographic memory, he should be able to recite them all before Yan Chixia comes back.

"Then I'll leave first."

Yan Chixia didn't stay long and turned around to leave Lanruo Temple.

Gu Qing spread out the books Yan Chixia gave him one by one and placed them in front of him.

"The Encyclopedia of Taixu Alchemy"

"True Interpretation of Talismans"

"Earth Yuan Weapon Refining Technique"

"The True Secret of Swordsmanship"

"Wall Penetrating Technique"

…

There are a dozen books.

Most of them are books on alchemy and talisman making, and some are secret books on cultivation.

"It's a pity that I don't have the materials on hand, so I can only read it first and then find an opportunity to start it myself."

Gu Qing picked up the "Taixu Alchemy Encyclopedia" and quickly read through it.

Two days later.

An open space outside Lanruo Temple.

Gu Qing holds the Life-Chasing Sword, and mana surges around his body, pouring into the sword!

Zheng!

A fiery sword cry resounded.

The Life-Chasing Sword split into thousands of pieces and turned into streaks of light, flying out violently!

Boom boom boom——

next moment.

The rocks and ancient trees in front were hit by the stream of light, and they all exploded and turned into powder.

Gu Qing waved his hand, and the streams of light turned into life-chasing swords again and returned to Gu Qing's hands.

"That's right. I have mastered this move of sword transformation. It can be used as an AOE skill. It should be able to instantly kill practitioners below the third level." Gu Qing nodded with satisfaction.

In the past two days, he had read all the books and kept them in his mind.

There is no way to practice alchemy and weapon refining, so you can only experiment with the power of swordsmanship!

After thoroughly reading "The True Secret of the Way of the Sword", Gu Qing gained a new understanding of the art of sword control.

The power of the sword technique is about twice as high as before.
