After walking out of Fangshi, Xiao Huaiqing explained in a casual chat

"The stalls in Qinghefang are divided into fixed leases and temporary leases. For fixed leases like mine, the monthly lease is fifteen spiritual stones, renewable every five years, and the contract cannot be broken. The temporary lease is one spiritual stone for eight hours.

Both methods can obtain a land deed. The city management department will conduct spot checks from time to time. If there is no land deed, you will be evicted and fined several times the amount of spiritual stones.

However, there are many casual cultivators who are unwilling to give up this piece of spiritual stone, so they find a fixed rental stall like mine. If I leave for something, I will hand over the token to him for a while, usually one spiritual stone for twenty hours. If I

When you return to the booth, record the time first and then calculate it later.”

Zhao Xiuxuan nodded.

An hour later, Zhao Xiuxuan followed Xiao Huaiqing out of the Qinghe Mountain area and came to a gathering place for monks that looked like a village. Xiao Huaiqing told him

"This place is called Jihui Valley. Most of the casual cultivators who set up stalls in Qinghefang live here."

While Xiao Huaiqing was chatting with him about home affairs, he took him to a wooden house with a small yard.

"Here we are"

With that said, he opened the fence of the yard and brought Zhao Xiuxuan in.

Someone in the wooden house heard the noise and came out. It was a beautiful woman with a side braid, about twenty years old.

"Luoluo, this is your cousin Zhao Xiuxuan, come and meet your cousin."

Xiao Luoluo hurriedly greeted him

"Cousin Xiuxuan"

"Cousin mother needs more courtesy." Zhao Xiuxuan saw that the spiritual energy around her body was not weak and she was also a monk. He hesitated and took out something from the storage bag.

"When we first met, my cousin gave me something as a gift. I hope my cousin won't dislike it."

"This is!?"

Xiao Huaiqing and Xiao Luoluo both looked surprised.

What Zhao Xiuxuan took out from the storage bag was a wind eagle puppet in the late stage of Qi refining.

Originally, this was what he planned to give to Xiao Huaiqing as a meeting gift. After seeing the other party's daughter, he changed his mind and decided to give this puppet to Xiao Luoluo.

It's not because Xiao Luoluo is slim and graceful, but actually because it is more appropriate to give this puppet to Xiao Luoluo than to Xiao Huaiqing.

"puppet!"

As a late-stage monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining, Xiao Huaiqing could tell at a glance that the spiritual energy fluctuations on the Wind Eagle Puppet hovering in the air were unusual. He then used the detection technique to check it, and this sight shocked him even more.

"This is actually a puppet in the late stage of Qi refining! This thing must be very valuable, Xiu Xuan, how can you, a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining, give away such a good puppet? We can't accept it."

Xiao Huaiqing looked serious after being surprised, while Xiao Luoluo stared straight at the wind eagle roaring in the sky. He liked it very much. Hearing his father's rejection, he felt a little regretful but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xiuxuan understood this clearly and quickly explained skillfully

"Uncle, why do you need to be like this? To be honest with my uncle, this thing is not mine, but one of the batch of puppets that the Zhao family has recently refined. My uncle in Qinghefang must also know the recent difficulties of the Zhao family's Chishan Treasure Shop.

, now in order to solve the problem of Xuanwu Talisman, the family has started to refine the puppet. The patriarch is concerned about my uncle and specially ordered me to hand this puppet to my uncle."

He originally thought that the tribe leader would be happy to accept it if he gave him a gift, but when he heard this, Xiao Huaiqing's face turned dark. Zhao Xiuxuan was quite puzzled.

Xiao Huaiqing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Xiu Xuan, don't lie to me. If Uncle Zhao asked you to come to me to learn alchemy, I might still believe it. But if you say that he misses me, I won't believe it at all. Hey, come in first, Luo Luo, you

Go stir-fry some vegetables and dig out a jar of Lingpeach wine buried behind the yard."

With that said, he ignored the Wind Eagle puppet and walked straight into the house.

At this time, Zhao Xiuxuan didn't know that something seemed to have happened between Xiao Huaiqing and the Zhao family. Seeing the opportunity, he handed a jade slip into Xiao Luoluo's hands and said

"Cousin, please don't refuse. This is the method of refining and using the Wind Eagle Puppet. Cousin can use it after practicing it again according to the law."

Xiao Luoluo was shocked by Zhao Xiuxuan's bold and unpretentious behavior, but when he saw the jade slip in his hand, he immediately smiled and said

"Thank you cousin, Luoluo will find you a jar of the oldest buried peach wine."

After saying that, she couldn't put it down and took the Wind Eagle puppet to the backyard.

Zhao Xiuxuan pondered for a while outside the house, and when he saw that there was no objection from Xiao Huaiqing inside, he suddenly became concerned.

During the dinner, Xiao Huaiqing regained his amiable demeanor, and without explaining what happened before, he turned to Zhao Xiuxuan and talked about alchemy.

"Xiu Xuan, I read in the letter that you feel that your state of mind is unstable and you cannot stabilize your state of mind after many attempts, so you want to use alchemy to calm down, right?"

"Yes, uncle"

"Then you have thought well. This alchemy is the most important thing to temper your mind. You may want to learn how to make alchemy. We will discuss this matter tomorrow. Come, have a taste of this spiritual peach wine. Luoluo, pour it for your cousin."

Xiao Luoluo had already sat down and had some time to eat. He glanced at Xiao Huaiqing resentfully, and then stood up and walked around the table to pour wine for Zhao Xiuxuan.

Zhao Xiuxuan quickly stopped and said

"I'll do it myself, so I won't bother my cousin."

With that said, he first poured a cup for Xiao Huaiqing, and a stream of colorless nectar with a delicate fragrance flowed out of the spout and poured into the cup.

"This spirit peach wine is brewed using the above-mentioned method of using the best spirit peaches. The dozens of jars in my backyard were buried in the Huangyao Sect decades ago. Later I secretly dug them out and took them away. They should still be there today.

It must have been more than forty years ago. This place where wine is buried is unusual. It needs a unique spirit-gathering array. Give it a try."

Zhao Xiu

[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Refining: 39/100]

Since I didn't pay much attention to the progress of this realm before, I only know that the last time I looked at it was 34, but I have practiced Xuantian Kung one after another, so I am not sure whether my realm has improved due to this cup.

In order to test his conjecture, he pretended that he couldn't put it down, said beautiful words, and toasted Xiao Huaiqing repeatedly. After pushing the cup and changing the cup, most of the wine poured into Zhao Xiuxuan's belly.

Open the skills panel again

[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Refining: 40/100]

It has increased by 1 point. It seems that this spiritual wine will really improve the realm, but the speed is not much different from that of cultivation, and it is not easy to brew this wine. Thinking of this, he can't help but guess that the method of brewing this wine,

Is it also considered a unique skill? If so, it's worth a try.

....

Spiritual wine is also intoxicating for monks. Half an hour later, Xiao Huaiqing was already drunk and told Zhao Xiuxuan something from the bottom of his heart.

It turned out that more than ten years ago, when Xiao Huaiqing had no choice but to leave Huang Yaozong, which was being held hostage by the Li family, the Zhao family had allowed their family of three to return to Chishan. Although the Zhao family was already struggling at that time, they could still take care of the three of them.

, but Xiao Huaiqing was full of indignation and determined to make a living in Qinghefang and did not want to return to his wife's family. For this reason, he also had some unpleasantness with the Zhao family.

However, Xiao Huaiqing's alchemy skills at that time were pretty good, and he could refine some elixirs for the Zhao family in Qinghefang, so everyone was harmonious. Until one time, Zhao Dushu went out to pick herbs and died unexpectedly. The Zhao family blamed Xiao Huaiqing, thinking that it was

He wanted to save face and refused to accept the protection of the Zhao family, which led to the death of Zhao Dushu. Since then, Xiao Huaiqing has almost lost contact with the Zhao family.

Until Zhao Xiuxuan appeared

"Although Uncle Zhao has not contacted me again in these years, I know that the Zhao family's purchasers will come to my stall every year to buy some Huiling Pills, Yushen Pills, etc."

After listening to Xiao Huaiqing's confession, Zhao Xiuxuan finally understood the whole story and helped Xiao Luoluo help the drunk Xiao Huaiqing back to the room.

When the two of them came out, Xiao Luoluo took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhao Xiuxuan.
