At this point, Bai Qingzhou officially settled in Luogufang.
Except for the time he spent every day visiting shops and cooking, Bai Qingzhou usually wandered around and sometimes went out to the market to see the scenery. He lived a very comfortable life.
As time went by, his knowledge expanded rapidly, and he learned a lot about medicinal herbs, magic weapons, monsters, spells, and rules, and he also met many monks in the city.
Among them, the familiar ones are Lao Luo and Hei Yuan Shuangsha.
Hei Yuan Shuang Sha and his wife would go to the wild to hunt monsters every ten days, while Bai Qingzhou often went to their meat stall to buy meat because he had to cook by himself, and he began to get familiar with them after going back and forth.
As for Lao Luo, it was because when Bai Qingzhou was not cooking, he would go to Lao Luo's place to have a bowl of wontons. The two of them chatted about this and that, and they got along quite well.
And Bai Qingzhou also discovered that Baicaotang's business was indeed poor. Often no customers came to the door for several days. Sometimes the one who came would sell a small amount of low-level herbs, which were not worth much money at all. This made him very boring on weekdays.
.
After diligently looking at the store for the first ten days, Bai Qingzhou finally started to be lazy. After opening the store every day, he would sit in the store and start his daily exercise.
Practice.
Because his affairs were free, Bai Qingzhou also gave up the idea of recruiting a mortal to help him. He was self-sufficient every day, which was quite leisurely.
Time flew by like this for two months.
The air in Luogufang contains much more spiritual energy than in Ningshuizhou. Even if compared with Xuanyangmen Mountain, there is not much difference between the two. Bai Qingzhou used his free time to meditate three times a day, and his cultivation speed was completely
Didn't fall.
Today, Bai Qingzhou slowly opened his eyes, exhaled gently, and ended his daily morning meditation practice.
When practicing at the fourth level of Qi refining, spiritual energy is continuously infused into the hands and arms, while at the fifth level, spiritual energy is instilled into both feet and legs. As long as the entire body below the legs is instilled to overflowing level, the breakthrough will be achieved.
Sixth level of Qi refining.
Bai Qingzhou is now working diligently on "Asking the Heart Sword Technique" every day. I don't know if this technique suits him or if he is gifted with it. His progress is very good and his spiritual energy is steadily improving.
He once inquired about the cultivation progress of other disciples, and it usually took several years to break through to the first level, and even some lazy ones could not break through in ten years. However, he had calculated that his current speed would only take another April or May.
In time, he can step into the sixth level of Qi Refining.
It was only ten months since he was promoted to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
The speed of cultivation is much faster than others.
Bai Qingzhou looked at the time, then stood up and went out to the yard to wash his face to refresh himself. He put on the newly bought robe to freshen up his appearance, tidied up his appearance, and then walked out the door.
Today is October 4th. According to what Senior Brother Xie said before leaving, it is the day that Senior Sister Yao Ting will deliver the herbs, and he has to wait outside Fangshi.
Yao Ting, the only spiritual cultivator of the Xuanyang Sect, is also the spiritual deacon of the sect, and is solely responsible for all medicinal herb planting matters in the sect.
Bai Qingzhou is not familiar with Yao Ting, but I heard that she is extremely obsessed with medicinal herbs and stays in the medicinal herb fields all day long to take care of her medicinal herbs, so her cultivation level is not very high, and she is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Shopkeeper Bai, we closed so early today, why don't we open?" A man appeared from the shop next to him and asked with a smile.
"Hey, yes, I have something to do today..." Bai Qingzhou replied simply.
This is shopkeeper Li from the shop next door. The two of them have gotten to know each other quite well over the past two months.
Because of its remote location and low foot traffic, the business of his magic weapon shop was not very good.
In their spare time, the two would chat and chat together, and gradually became familiar with each other.
After chatting for a few words, Bai Qingzhou walked outside Fangshi.
The market is still crowded with people. There is no so-called market day in the market. There are so many people every day, and Bai Qingzhou is used to it.
I arrived at the gate of Fangshi City with ease and started waiting by the gate.
From time to time he would say hello to monks passing by.
After waiting for about half an hour, Bai Qingzhou saw Yao Ting driving a flying magic weapon in the shape of a crane speeding towards her.
"coming..."
Bai Qingzhou recognized this flying magic weapon. It was called [Fengfeng Crane]. It was a top-grade yellow-level flying magic weapon. Its speed was more than 50% faster than his own [Feiyun Lingzhi]. It was said that it was specially prepared by the master to deliver medicinal herbs to her.
, in case unscrupulous criminals stop and rob you on the way.
In front of [Blazing Wind Crane], ordinary flying magic weapons of casual cultivators are unable to catch up.
Yao Ting slowly landed from the sky, Bai Qingzhou raised her head and raised her hands in salute, saying:
"Senior Sister Yao".
Yao Ting is about thirty years old, with messy hair, sallow complexion, and obvious dirt between her fingers. If she hadn't been riding a flying magic weapon at the moment, she would have looked like a peasant woman.
"Junior Brother Bai."
Yao Ting saw Bai Qingzhou and said hello casually. She was not surprised that he was standing here. When she came out, she knew that the person in charge of the store had been replaced by Bai Qingzhou.
Yao Ting jumped off the flying magic weapon, and then shrunk the magic weapon into a small crane-shaped piece of paper. However, she did not put it back in her arms, but held it in her hand. She did not see any movement, but the piece of paper instantly
Disappeared from your fingers.
"Huh? This is... [storage bag]?"
When Bai Qingzhou saw this hand, he couldn't help but said in surprise.
[Storage bag] is said to be made by powerful monks who have the ability to understand space. It seems small, but it actually has a built-in space that can store many items. Once the spiritual power is input, the items you want to take out can be locked and taken out at will.
It is extremely convenient for monks, but it is expensive. Ordinary monks do not have spiritual stones to buy it.
"That's right... let's go."
Yao Ting responded simply, without saying much, and walked directly to the city, looking a little impatient.
Bai Qingzhou looked at her anxious look and didn't know why, so he could only follow her quickly.
Yao Ting was obviously very familiar with Luo Gufang. She didn't need to be led at all, she just strode forward and arrived at the door of the store in a short while.
This caught Bai Qingzhou a little off guard. He originally planned to treat Yao Ting to a feast and then deal with the herbs. He didn't expect that Senior Sister Yao would be so resolute.
"Sister Yao, do you want us to go have something to eat first?" Bai Qingzhou asked tentatively.
Yao Ting shook her head: "No need to go to such trouble, just put the herbs away first."
"All right."
With a promise, Bai Qingzhou stepped forward and opened the wooden door of the shop.
The two of them entered the store one after another. After Yao Ting entered the store, she looked around and then walked to an empty shelf.
Then he took out a coarse cloth bag from his arms. The appearance of the bag was very ordinary, dark brown, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.
But Bai Qingzhou knew that this was the [storage bag].
"The herbs are kept here."
I saw Yao Ting holding the bag high, opening the mouth of the bag, and instantly many things flew out of it, very fast, like black shadows.
The black shadows flew to the shelves in an orderly manner. Bai Qingzhou took a closer look and saw that the black shadows were one-foot-long herbs. Each one was tied with a piece of yellow paper, as if there was still spiritual energy floating around.
It is summer grass and osmanthus.
"Junior brother Bai, these are 308 summer millet grasses and 312 osmanthus needle grasses, a total of 620 medicinal herbs. Please count them." Yao Ting said softly to Bai Qingzhou, who was standing aside.
"OK."
Bai Qingzhou was very serious about his work and lit up the plants one by one on the counter, while Yao Ting watched quietly from the side.
After spending nearly a stick of incense, Bai Qingzhou finished counting, nodded and said, "It's six hundred and twenty herbs."
"That's okay." Yao Ting nodded expressionlessly, then handed Bai Qingzhou a piece of paper and said again, "These are some things I need in the near future. You can help me pay attention to them when you are in Fangshi. If you encounter them, just tell me
Buy it and send it back when you have time."
Bai Qingzhou took a look at the paper and found that it contained some commonly used items for planting, as well as some magical tools and medicinal herb seeds needed for planting.
After briefly reading, Bai Qingzhou said seriously: "Don't worry, Senior Sister Yao, I will pay attention."
"By the way, there is one more thing." Yao Ting paused and continued: "The leader told me that you need to look for the Foundation Establishment Pill in the near future. If you find someone selling it in the market, you can order it directly and report it to the door."
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou showed doubts on his face and couldn't help asking: "[Foundation Building Pill]? Who wants to use [Foundation Building Pill]?"
[Foundation Building Pill], a second-level elixir, as the name suggests, is mainly used by Qi Refining monks to attack the foundation building stage. After taking it, it can increase the success rate of foundation building. It is also expensive.
Generally, monks will start preparing the [Foundation Building Pill] when they reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, but as far as he knows, there are no disciples of the ninth level of Qi Refining in the sect.
Among the inner disciples, Li Xian and Zhang Zhiyan were only at the eighth level of Qi Refining at this time, while Chen Li had stagnated since being promoted to the seventh level, not to mention Ji Heng, who had just been promoted to the inner disciples.
None of the inner disciples had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, so Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but ask questions.
"Xiao Feichen is back." Yao Ting said calmly.
"Ah! It turns out to be...Senior Brother Xiao."
Bai Qingzhou suddenly became enlightened.
He had heard of this name when he first started, but it was said that he went down the mountain to practice a long time ago and never returned to the sect for the next four years.
When you suddenly come back, you are about to build a foundation?
Thinking of this, Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but curiously asked: "What did Senior Brother Xiao go to do before? Why didn't he come back for four years?"
"During Fei Chen's training period, a mortal relative passed away, so he went home to observe mourning for three years and only recently returned."
When Yao Ting said this, she smiled softly, obviously approving of Xiao Feichen's actions.
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou was shocked. He didn't expect that Senior Brother Xiao, who valued filial piety so much, could actually keep filial piety for his mortal relatives. What made him even more unexpected was that he could be promoted faster in the mortal world where spiritual energy was lacking than in the sect!
Because Xiao Feichen and Li Xian and Zhang Zhiyan both became inner disciples together. Zhang Zhiyan, who is practicing in the sect, is currently at the eighth level of Qi refining, while Xiao Feichen, who is practicing in the mortal world, is actually preparing to build a foundation!
Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but secretly smack his lips, this senior brother's talent is truly terrifying.
"Okay, then I'll leave first!"
Yao Ting said goodbye, interrupting Bai Qingzhou's thoughts.
"Ah?" Bai Qingzhou was a little surprised and said repeatedly: "Senior sister has come a long way, at least have a meal before going back. Why are you so anxious?"
Yao Ting waved her hand, turned around and walked out of the door. As she walked, she said, "That's no need. There is a herb in the door that seems to be mutating. I have to go back and keep an eye on it. I can't delay it."
"But..." Bai Qingzhou tried to persuade him to stay.
"No need to say no, I'm leaving first!" Yao Ting interrupted, waved her hand and walked out of Fangshi.
Looking at Yao Ting who had already left quickly, Bai Qingzhou shook his head helplessly.
moment.
He turned around and entered the store, looking at the shelves full of herbs, his eyes suddenly lit up.
