Chapter 103 Zhou Yun'e's Visit Xiao Changqing had already figured out the rules of the system. The condition for including equipment is not to look at the grade of the magic weapon or treasure itself, but to look at its "history", what kind of experience it has had, and how many monks' lives it has been influenced by. The items he has equipped so far range from the Talisman Master's Notebook to the Enlightenment Cushion, the Dragon Prisoner Bracelet, and the Longevity Stone... The materials and grades of these items vary, some are high and some are low, and many are damaged and incomplete, not even one-tenth of their original quality. But they all have something in common, and they have a strong 'causal' connection with some monks! Therefore, this jade slip that records the inheritance of the third-level alchemist is equivalent to a 'brand new' magical instrument, as neither Zhu Youlong nor his master did much research or put much effort into it, but kept it away as a treasure. Naturally, the system cannot extract anything from it. Of course, this jade slip is not useless to Xiao Changqing. With the information recorded in the jade slip, he could not refine pills in a short period of time. Even the most basic pills that were not of the first level needed to be learned slowly, but he could gain knowledge. For example, if you encounter something like touching a corpse in the future and you touch some elixirs or spiritual medicines, you will not need to ask others for help in identifying them, as you will be able to roughly recognize them yourself. "Alchemy notes? Notes?" Zhu Youlong was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Fu, please don't make fun of me. I am only at the first-class upper-grade alchemy attainment. Even if I have some experience, it is far less profound and detailed than the inheritance in this jade slip. If Master Xiao Fu is interested in alchemy, he only needs to study the inheritance in the jade slip carefully..."
Xiao Changqing had no choice but to give up. It doesn't make sense that he would leave the complete inheritance of a third-level alchemist unlearned and instead ask a first-level alchemist to impart his experience to him. But at this moment, Zhu Youlong suddenly said: "However, I do have an alchemy furnace that my master passed down to me. I have used it for many years. The grade has reached the first-grade top grade, and it is almost as good as some second-grade low-grade alchemy furnaces. Now I am giving it to Master Xiao Fu as a souvenir." Xiao Changqing was delighted and said, "How can I not do this... How about I pay with spirit stones to buy it?" Master Zhu Dan's master is a second-level alchemist who is very famous in Liyang Fairy City. The alchemy furnace he passed down has been used by Master Zhu Dan himself for many years. The system is likely to be able to equip such a magical instrument! "I don't have much time left, and I can't make pills anymore. There's no use for this alchemy furnace. As for the spirit stones, I have nowhere to spend them... Why not give it to Master Xiao Fu? Maybe it can be used in the future." As Master Zhu Dan spoke, he took out an alchemy furnace about as tall as a person from his storage bag. There were complicated formations engraved on it. Even without any mana to drive it, the alchemy furnace gave off a faint sense of burning heat. "Inside this alchemy furnace, there is a wisp of green flame spirit fire, which is a feature of a second-grade alchemy furnace. In fact, when my master asked the refiner to build this furnace, he was actually aiming for the second grade. It was just that there were some flaws and mistakes during the refining process, which resulted in the final grade not reaching the second grade." Zhu Youlong introduced. Xiao Changqing nodded. No wonder he felt that there was something extraordinary hidden in this alchemy furnace. There was actually a wisp of spiritual flame sealed inside it. If there were more spiritual flames, they could all be used as attacking magic weapons to kill enemies! The green flame spiritual fire, if there is enough of it and it is controlled properly, can burn even a foundation-building monk to death! Zhu Youlong removed his own mark on the alchemy furnace. After Xiao Changqing refined it, as expected, the system responded immediately. [First-level Alchemy Furnace] [The forging skills are average, or even shoddy. The only saving grace is that there is a second-level spiritual flame sealed in the furnace, which has a certain bonus for refining pills. It was once used occasionally by a second-level alchemist, and later passed on to his disciples. Over the past few decades, hundreds of furnaces of first-level pills have been refined...] [Equipment conditions: None] [Equipment Effect: Elixir Identification, First-level Alchemy Minor Achievement] Looking at the introduction given by the system, Xiao Changqing was satisfied. The minor success in first-grade alchemy is almost the same as the accomplishments of a first-grade low-grade alchemist. It seems that although Master Zhu’s alchemy skills have not been promoted to the second level, he is still among the top in the first level.
When Lu Qiu was promoted to the second-rank talisman master, he gave Xiao Changqing the double-winged tiger-hair brush he often used. In addition to improving Xiao Changqing's talent in talismans, the accompanying skills allowed him to become a first-rank lower-grade talisman master. According to this theory, Master Zhu's talent in alchemy is much weaker than Lu Qiu's talent in talismans, but his accumulation in alchemy is not bad. If his master had not been killed by True Man Blood Crow, and had given him more guidance, he might have been promoted to a second-level alchemist long ago. Moreover, although this alchemy furnace does not improve the talent of alchemy, it also has a skill of identifying spiritual medicines. This skill is also very practical for Xiao Changqing. "Thank you, Master Zhu Dan. I will be honored to decline your offer." Xiao Changqing put the alchemy furnace into his storage bag. Now his storage bag has been updated. He took it from the evil white-haired old woman a few days ago. The space inside this storage bag is nearly fifteen meters long and wide, and five meters high. The capacity is more than ten times larger than Xiao Changqing's previous small storage bag. It can hold an alchemy furnace that is as tall as a person, and it doesn't take up any space at all. "Master Xiao Fu, you're welcome. When you go back, if you try to study alchemy during this period, you can always consult me if you encounter something you don't understand." Zhu Youlong obviously did not dare and was not qualified to accept Xiao Changqing, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, as his apprentice. He only hoped that Xiao Changqing, who held a big secret, could pass on his master's alchemy skills. …… …… The next few days. Xiao Changqing was in seclusion in the Jiayi Cave, studying the newly acquired third-level alchemist inheritance. He also asked Lin Ziyu to purchase a batch of spiritual medicines and try to refine a few furnaces of Spirit Gathering Pills. The Soul Gathering Pill is the most common and popular pill among Qi Refining practitioners, and can be used to increase the speed of cultivation. It is also famous for its low drug resistance and minor side effects, which means that the effect will not decrease after taking more, nor will there be any negative effects, such as affecting potential, increasing the difficulty of building a foundation in the future, and so on. The only disadvantage is that it is relatively expensive. Only a small number of wealthy cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining can take the Spirit Gathering Pill as a daily medicine. For cultivators at the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, or even at the middle level, if they can take one Spirit Gathering Pill a month, they are considered to have a good family background. For example, Hu Youquan, who was not in dire straits before, was a native cultivator of Nanshanfang and had a shop. When he was pursuing Zhou Yun'e, he showed his ability by taking at least one Soul Gathering Pill a month... After Xiao Changqing refined the pills several times, he found that his first-grade lower-grade alchemy skills were not enough. The quality of the Spirit Gathering Pills he refined was rather average, not to mention some high-level pills that would help him improve his cultivation. So he quickly lost interest. He didn't have the time to spend too much energy studying alchemy right now. With that energy, he might as well work hard to improve his talisman skills to the second-level intermediate level. If he could make a second-level mid-grade talisman, he would not only be able to earn more spirit stones, but it would also be helpful to him. This day. Xiao Changqing was in a good mood, and the Lin sisters were also at home, so the three of them had a great time having fun. Sisters on the battlefield. The two sisters joined forces to fight, taking turns. Before every battle, Lin Zixi likes to compete for favor, is full of fighting spirit, and is determined to defeat his master, Xiao Changqing.
As a result, she always gave up early and finished the job hastily. She screamed the loudest and begged for mercy the fastest and could not bear the whipping. On the contrary, sister Lin Ziyu was silent before the game, gentle as water, seemingly weak, but able to tolerate everything. After her sister Lin Zixi failed, she took over the baton, was able to hold her temper and let Xiao Changqing enjoy himself. And afterwards, Lin Zixi liked to stick around Xiao Changqing, letting Xiao Changqing hug her and enjoying the tenderness afterwards, which made her look a bit cute and naive. But Lin Ziyu rarely does this. Afterwards, she would return to her dignified appearance and help clean up, tidying up the room and damaged furniture that had been messed up by the intense battle. Recently, the two sisters have been practicing very hard, especially the younger sister Lin Zixi, who is so determined to work day and night, wanting to break through the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible. After finishing, Lin Zixi lay in Xiao Changqing's arms like a kitten, enjoying his tenderness while telling her about her recent gains in cultivation and some confusions she encountered. Occasionally, Xiao Changqing would give her some advice. Although most of Xiao Changqing's strength comes from the skills given by the system, his cultivation is actually improved bit by bit by himself. Of course, the system also gave him a buff, upgrading his lower-grade spiritual root qualifications to earth spiritual roots! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have improved so quickly, and it would have been impossible for him to successfully build his foundation. But all in all, I have cultivated myself step by step, and I have some experience in the techniques and feelings of breaking through each level of Qi Refining. However, every time Lin Zixi listened to Xiao Changqing's "experiences", his confidence would be somewhat dampened, and he would mutter to himself: How could cultivation be so easy? Can you just improve and break through so easily? It's obviously extremely difficult. If she hadn't seen with her own eyes how the master's cultivation level improved rapidly step by step, if someone else had said this to her, she would definitely think that this person was talking nonsense in front of her and was unrealistic. hum~ Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the formation, and someone was visiting outside the cave. Xiao Changqing subconsciously released his consciousness to see who was visiting him. But when he saw the figure standing outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly: "Are you finally here?" The person standing outside the cave was none other than his predecessor who had followed him to the world of immortals, but later found a new home because of his greed for wealth and immediately abandoned his predecessor. This was the culprit who had caused him to travel through time and space, Zhou Yun'e! With a little guess, Xiao Changqing could understand the purpose of this woman coming to Jiayi Cave. He knew Zhou Yun'e better. This woman is indeed equivalent to a high-level green tea girl, or a gold digger in the world of immortal cultivation. But he is still a "decent person" and not completely without dignity. In other words, she is actually a smart enough woman. That year at the Mu family, at Mu Renjie's birthday party, Mu Chunfeng deliberately planned a scene, wanting Xiao Changqing to vent his anger, and his idea was clear. At that time, Zhou Yun'e knew that Xiao Changqing's luck had turned and he surpassed Hu Youquan, the next client she had carefully selected. Later, after Xiao Changqing became a first-class talisman master, he became famous in the Lingfu Pavilion and became very successful. He had a huge reputation in Nanshanfang and was worshipped as an idol by countless casual cultivators. He became an existence that Zhou Yun'e and Hu Youquan could only dream of. Up to now, Xiao Changqing has successfully established his foundation, and his identity as a second-level talisman master has spread. He lives in the No. 1 cave residence and is regarded by many as the best master in Nanshanfang. Even though some people believe that the head of the Cao family is the best master, it does not hinder Xiao Changqing's transcendent status in Nanshanfang. For Zhou Yun'e, who has always wanted to make a name for herself in the world of immortal cultivation and be as popular as she is in the mortal world, the regret in her heart is understandable. But over the years, Zhou Yun'e was able to resist the urge to come to see Xiao Changqing. This shows that she knew very clearly that it would be difficult for Xiao Changqing to change his mind, and she also wanted to save some face for herself. Until now, I finally found it.
It is not difficult to analyze why he couldn't help but come to her in the end. It was nothing more than that he had no other choice, or he finally couldn't stand her current life and wanted to pursue something better. Just like she couldn't stand being with Xiao Changqing at the beginning, and had been planning to find another partner to escape from the "sea of suffering". "Who is it?" Lin Zixi asked curiously. Her spiritual sense was very weak, and could only sense the range of a room at best, and was far from reaching outside the cave. "Someone you don't know, but I know." When Xiao Changqing first crossed over, he had an extremely strong hatred for Zhou Yun'e and Hu Youquan. He had imagined countless times how he would repay them when he became stronger, how he would make the two of them kneel down and beg for mercy... As time went by, he gradually shifted his focus to his own strength and cultivation, and paid less attention to this hatred. Of course, it doesn’t mean I don’t hate you anymore. This feeling is impossible to disappear, and even more impossible to forgive. But the gap between them was too big, and he had no interest in seeking revenge on these two people. Just like what he said to Mu Chunfeng at the beginning, revenge does not necessarily require killing people, and destroying the heart is more painful. He originally planned to find time to thoroughly understand this hatred before leaving Nanshanfang. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yun'e couldn't help it after all and came to the door on her own initiative. "I don't know her?" Lin Zixi looked at the playful expression on Xiao Changqing's face, and then her little head quickly turned, calculating the differences between the two sisters, and calculating Xiao Changqing's social circle... The results came soon. She didn't know him, but her sister did. That could only be before she came to Nanshanfang, when her sister and the master were both living in the shantytown and were neighbors. They were old acquaintances. And the old friend at that time, who made the master look like this, would still come to the door, then the only reason is... "Master, do you want me to help you deal with it?" Lin Zixi said excitedly. Xiao Changqing shook his head and said, "Your sister has already gone, let her handle it." Lin Zixi wanted to get up and put on her clothes, and said, "I'd better go. I think my sister might be a little soft-hearted and won't be able to handle it well." Xiao Changqing held her back and said with a smile, "Let your sister handle it first." …… After making love, Lin Ziyu tidied up the messy room. She didn't feel comfortable competing for favor with her sister afterwards, so she went outside to take care of the spiritual medicines and spiritual beasts in the yard. When he sensed that someone was visiting outside the cave, he went out to check immediately. As a result, when he unlocked the cave and saw a figure standing outside the door, he was stunned... Suddenly, I had the illusion that I had returned to more than ten years ago, when I was still living in a shantytown. More than ten years have passed. Although Zhou Yun'e has not had a good life in recent years and has suffered a lot in her heart, as a cultivator, her appearance has not changed much. She is still in her prime and looks like a cold beauty.
Even the long skirt she was wearing was one that Lin Ziyu had seen her wear several times when they were in the shantytown and she liked it very much. Of course, it couldn't be the original one, because after Zhou Yun'e left the shantytown, she never went back again. She was too lazy to take her old things, so they were all destroyed by Xiao Changqing. In an instant, Lin Ziyu thought a lot, and his thoughts were a little scattered. After coming to his senses, he looked at Zhou Yun'e's cold eyes and subconsciously felt a little ashamed. how to say. It feels like... I was caught cheating? after all. Back then, Zhou Yun'e and Xiao Changqing were a Taoist couple, and she was just a pretty female cultivator from the neighborhood. Now, she became Xiao Changqing's concubine, and Zhou Yun'e became an outsider. "Why... is it you?" After being stunned and embarrassed, Lin Ziyu quickly calmed down and asked. Zhou Yun'e stared at Lin Ziyu for a while. Looking at the gorgeous robe Lin Ziyu was wearing, it was a limited edition from Baibaolou and the most expensive one. The cheapest one cost several hundred spirit stones! After she and Hu Youquan got together, during the best times of their lives, they only bought two of the most basic robes from Baibaolou. She didn't even dare to think about or try on such limited edition robes. The hairpin on her head was also a first-class upper-grade magical instrument, worth several hundred lower-grade spirit stones... Boots, bracelets, necklaces, even brooches...all of them are exquisite, all of them are what she could only dream of. Originally, all of this should have belonged to her! It's hers! Now, it has been stolen by this woman! Thinking of this, Zhou Yun'e couldn't help but feel infinite regret and jealousy in her heart, so much so that her inner shame and uneasiness were dispelled a lot. "I want to see Xiao Changqing." Zhou Yun'e calmed down her complicated emotions and said coldly. Don't let your eyes focus on the other person's expensive magical weapons and robes. She didn't want to show her weakness and tried hard to maintain the appearance of the hostess she had when she lived in the shantytown. Now, even her most basic robes had been taken away by her creditors to pay off debts. She could not even afford pirated robes, so she could only put a lot of thought into making a long dress that she had loved most in the secular world to meet Xiao Changqing. "Do you have something to ask the master? If there is anything, I can pass it on for you." Lin Ziyu inexplicably lacked momentum and asked carefully. "I need to talk to him alone, you can't tell him!" Zhou Yun'e stared at Lin Ziyu with wide eyes, and became strong when she saw this, with an inexplicable domineering look, as if she was Xiao Changqing's person and had a higher status than Lin Ziyu.
