Chapter 28 Small courtyard, crouching tiger, hidden dragon I don’t know why, but Luo Chen feels that Wang Yuan is colder than before. I still don’t speak much, but every once in a while I say something, which is a little bit penetrating. Luo Chen naturally didn't know about Wang Yuan's recent impressive achievements and his reputation as a mad swordsman. Things like killing people and grabbing treasures have nothing to do with him. Even if there is a relationship, it is all forced. He is dusty and devoted to the Tao! After flipping through a pile of books, Luo Chen finally found his target. “Brother Wang, I am your little brother now!” “Well, barely.”
“So, are there any benefits to being your younger brother, for example.” "This book is no good. It was commissioned by a ninth-level Qi Refining monk from the Poshan Gang to sell it to me. If you want to read it, you can only buy it." What Luo Chen was holding was surprisingly the "Five Must-Know Spells in the Qi Refining Period" that Wang Yuan had been setting up a stall for a long time but had not sold. But Luo Chen remembers that Wang Yuan said before that he snatched this book? You promised that the casual cultivators would not deceive the casual cultivators! Luo Chen cursed and took out two hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and then put the book into his storage bag with great care. Wang Yuan looked at him and suddenly chuckled. “That guy Chen Xiao is really unlucky. He worked hard for half a year to make you a wedding dress.” What do you mean by making me a wedding dress? Helping a man. “The name of the unlucky guy I killed before was Chen Xiao?” “Well, he discovered a senior cave and spent half a year breaking through the formation. He gained a lot, but it’s all yours.” Luo Chen touched the storage bag and suddenly realized. No wonder a mere casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, with a storage bag and a high-grade magic weapon, the Soul-Breaking Nail, would have a lot of adventures after working for a long time! "Their brothers have gained a lot, so they have the courage to surround me and kill me. It's a pity that they can't use the treasure." “How do you say this?” “For example, this Soul-Breaking Nail easily broke through my defense, but it could only slightly injure me. The threat to me was not as great as his other thunderbolt.” Wang Yuan may have wanted to give Luo Chen some advice, so he started talking casually. "But if he had put some poison on the soul-breaking nail, I would have been in danger."
Luo Chen was startled, then gave a thumbs up. “You have to be brother, you are insidious enough!” “Oh no, it’s brother, you have a lot of fighting experience!” Seeing that Wang Yuan's expression was wrong, Luo Chen immediately changed his tune. Wang Yuan shook his head, "Whether you are an immortal cultivator or a mortal warrior, the logic of combat is actually the same, just to put people to death. Many casual cultivators in Dahefang are too rigid and only know how to use magic weapons to attack each other in a rigid manner." "Of course, it's also possible that he couldn't get a poison that would work on the monks." Luo Chen nodded heavily. Monks breathe in spiritual energy, even if they don't deliberately refine their bodies, their physical constitution is gradually evolving. Otherwise, high-level monks would squander huge amounts of spiritual energy at every turn, and their weak bodies would not be able to withstand such devastation. A jade bottle was handed to Luo Chen. "This is the Chaosling Powder I captured. I applied it on the Soul-Breaking Nail. Once it touches the enemy's flesh and blood, the spiritual energy will be confused and unable to be mobilized." Is this the benefit of being a younger brother? Luo Chen took it happily and planned to put it on when he went back. He must also become a man with rich combat experience! “Remember, the duration of Chaosling Powder is very short, and it can be easily suppressed by those with enough spiritual energy. Therefore, once you hit the Soul-Breaking Nail, you must be prepared for a quick victory.” Wang Yuan’s serious and important warning. He had a few bottles left for his own use, but there was no need to tell Luo Chen. He himself is not a talkative person, he has already said a lot today. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen left a bag of snacks to pass the time, and said goodbye knowingly. Before leaving the market, he looked back and found that Wang Yuan seemed to be practicing? “Are you using the time of setting up a stall to tap into the first-order spiritual veins in the inner city?” This discovery surprised Luo Chen for a moment. But similar imitations were quickly driven away. The market is very noisy with people coming and going, and it is not a good place for meditation and practice at all. If someone disturbs you randomly, you may go crazy. Wang Yuan dared to do this because he had other reasons. If you learn it yourself, you are courting death. “You are really an alchemist!”
Caiyi woke up in the afternoon, washed herself up, and rushed to the back room. She saw Luo Chen holding a stone pestle and grinding an ore she didn't recognize. The spacious inverted room is filled with medicinal materials. The mixed smell makes people feel a little uncomfortable when they smell it. On the other hand, Luo Chen enjoyed it and had long been accustomed to these tastes. Seeing Caiyi leaning at the door, Luo Chen chuckled and poured the gilding powder in the stone mortar into a wooden bucket. It had already been soaked with another medicinal material, and the gilding powder was added in, which instantly produced a strange reaction. Bubbles keep popping up and making a gurgling sound. After washing his hands, Luo Chen walked to the door and stretched. “Would you like to eat hawthorn? When I was buying herbal medicine today, I asked for some from the boss. It’s not very refreshing, just sweet and sour.” Cai Yi took a handful of hawthorn from Luo Chen, but her eyes fell on his storage bag. “You alchemists are indeed very rich, and you have storage bags in the middle stage of Qi refining.” The tone was filled with deep envy. Are you envious? woman.
Luo Chen would naturally not show off his wealth, so he avoided this sensitive topic and asked Caiyi about the situation of his neighbors. When you live in a place, it is better to get familiar with the people around you. Otherwise, if there is any conflict, it will seriously affect his work. Just this inquiry made him a little stiff. “A main house, east and west wing rooms, two wing rooms and yours, the largest side room, live in six families in total.” “The person living in the east wing is Fu Xiuxiu, who is on the ninth level of Qi Refining. She usually works in the Shenfu Pavilion and has been promoted to manager.” "The Qin family lives in the west wing. There are three people in total. Qin Liangchen and his wife are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining. You can't see them these days because they personally escorted their son to Luoyun Sect to participate in the entrance trial." “The two wing rooms are occupied by Bai Meiling and Feng Xia. They are both female cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining. They both work in Baicao Hall.” After hearing this introduction about the neighbor's situation, Luo Chen couldn't help but be surprised. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon! In a small courtyard, there are three ninth floors of Qi refining and two seventh floors of Qi refining. There is only Luo Chen who is at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He is pitiful and wants to hug him. Of course, Caiyi would not hug him. She straightened her chest and said with a smile, "I, Gu Caiyi, am on the eighth level of Qi Refining and make a living dancing in Tianxiang Tower." “How is the income?”
“It’s okay, don’t you see that I live in the main house?” Alas, shake your head and sigh. I thought that after being promoted to the middle stage of Qi Refining, he would be considered a great monk, but I didn't expect that everyone in a small courtyard could bully him. Actually, although Luo Chen was surprised, he was not surprised. There are tens of thousands of casual cultivators in Dahefang City, and there are hundreds of people in the late stages of Qi refining. These hundreds of people are rare to see in the outer city, but they are everywhere in the inner city. In other words, low-level monks simply cannot afford to live in a house in the inner city. Only late-stage monks with certain skills can live safely in the inner city. For example, Chen Laodao, who is at the sixth level of Qi Refining and is good at making talismans and tanning talisman skins, has the confidence to say, "If the outer city continues to be chaotic, I plan to move into the inner city." From this, it can be seen. If Luo Chen hadn't sought refuge and even licked the blood from two knives, he wouldn't have had the capital to rent a house in the inner city. “It sounds a bit weird.” “What’s weird?” Luo Chen asked curiously, "Not counting me, are all five of your families female monks in our yard? Moreover, it seems that most of the residents in the alleys on the way home are women." "you are stupid!" Gu Caiyi smiled angrily, "There are yin and yang in heaven and earth, and spiritual energy is naturally divided into yin and yang. A ghost king was suppressed here in the north of the city, and the spiritual energy tended to be yin over time. Men belong to yang and women belong to yin. Of course, most of the people who come to rent a house here They are all female monks!” Luo Chen suddenly realized it, and then worried: "If I stay for a long time, will it affect my practice?" "It shouldn't have any impact, right?" The tall Gu Caiyi hugged her chest and said uncertainly: "We female cultivators in the Yin Land have indeed made some gains, but you male cultivators have not gained much at most, and can't do much harm. " “Is that so?” “Hasn’t Fellow Daoist Qin lived here for many years? I haven’t seen him mention it.” Gu Caiyi thought for a while, "Well, I'll ask Miss Yuxiang from Tianxiang Tower when I have time in the evening. She knows more about this than me." “Well, that’s a problem for you.” “By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what kind of elixirs are you refining?” Gu Caiyi looked at the dark room with interest. She didn't recognize most of the medicinal materials inside. It would be great if the elixir refined by Luo Chen is suitable for her. We are all neighbors, so it’s always okay to offer some friendship. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Luo Chen's answer. Isn’t it convenient to say? Gu Caiyi glanced at Luo Chen and found that there was a slight blush on his face.
“Bigu Dan.” “Yes, it’s Bigu Pill!” Luo Chen repeated the sentence with a firm tone. Gu Caiyi went to work in the evening, still thinking about the afternoon chat. When they arrived at Tianxiang Tower, most of the girls got up and were ready to eat to fill their bellies. The spiritual food provided by Tianxianglou once a day is a good thing, and Gu Caiyi will never miss it. While eating the delicious and spiritual food, Gu Caiyi saw Yuxiang who was taking a small bite. “Xiangxiang, you know how to make alchemy, let me ask you something.” "Um" “Do monks in the middle stage of Qi refining make a lot of money by refining Bigu Pill?” Yu Xiang blinked, then pursed her lips and smiled.
