Doing chores in the world of self-cultivation

Chapter 24

Zhu Qiang is a spirit beast about the size of a dog. It is snow-white and covered with long hair, which looks fluffy. It has two small white horns on its head and a short tail behind it, which looks very fluffy. cute.When he blinked his big black round eyes with watery light, it could melt people's hearts.

This Zhu Qiao is not yet an adult, with a petite figure, it seems to have been abused, its body is a little dirty, and there are some blood stains in its hair.Seeing that Qi Xiu opened the window, it immediately stood up, put its two fleshy front paws on the window sill, and then looked at Qi Xiu with aggrieved eyes, as if it was still thinking about the Yixiang pill that it didn't eat yesterday.

This appearance can greatly arouse people's love and affection, but Qi Xiu knows that it is a "deceitful beast" and is the best at disguising, so he doesn't know if the current appearance is a fake.

Qi Xiu naturally disdains the behavior of "touching porcelain". Yesterday, the man used the spirit pet to cheat money, which is really disgusting, but the spirit beast actually acts according to the owner's wishes. He also looked at Zhu Qiao's appearance Can't bear to close the window and turn a blind eye.

Qi Xiu tried his best to hold back the thought of touching Zhu Qiao, he clenched his hands that were about to move, and deliberately put on a bored expression.

"What? Still want to lie to me?"

Xiao Zhu whimpered twice, jumped out of the window and arched Qi Xiu's calf, then looked up at him again.

Lu Man let out a "Hey", "Where did Zhu Qian come from?"

Qi Xiu briefly talked about what happened last night, and Lu Man stepped forward and looked at Zhu Qiao.

Xiao Zhu owed Qixiu's calf just now, but when he saw Lu concealing it, he was very scared, so he took a few steps back and shrank in the corner of the wall.

Qi Xiu noticed the bloodstains left by its footprints, he couldn't hold back any longer, he sighed, knelt down and took out Yixiang Pill and fed it one.

Xiao Zhu owed her eyes to light up immediately when she saw the fragrant elixir, she forgot to be afraid, buried her head in eating the elixir, and obediently licked Qi Xiu's palm.

Qi Xiu finally couldn't help touching the top of its head. The hair was soft and fluffy, and it felt quite good to the touch.

"Do you want to raise it?" Lu Man asked suddenly, watching from the side.

Qi Xiu shook his head: "It should be that person's spiritual pet last night."

Lu Man put his hand on Zhu Qiang, and Xiao Zhu Qiang trembled slightly in fear, but did not dare to resist at all.

"Its spiritual pet contract has been canceled, and its owner has abandoned it, so it is now ownerless."

Qi Xiu immediately understood that the injury on Zhu Qiao's body was probably not a disguise. Last night, the man failed to touch the porcelain and vented his anger on the spirit beast. After abusing it, he terminated the contract.

"It's okay if you want to raise it, but it's just a second-order spirit beast in its juvenile stage. It's useless, and there's no need to make a contract."

Lu Man withdrew his hand and said lightly.He threw a few wooden signs to Qi Xiu.

"This is the beast card of the spirit beast. If you want to keep it, you can keep it."

Qi Xiu thought about it and decided to forget it. Now that people from the sect come here from afar, it is really inconvenient to bring a spiritual pet. Moreover, since Zhu Qiang has the title of "deceitful beast", his ability to survive is not weak. Let it be free.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but this time I'm here for the secret realm, let's forget it."

Lu Man curled his lips: "It's up to you, you keep the sign, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Xiao Zhu owed to being tempted by Yixiang Pill, and found here following the elixir and the smell left by Qi Xiu just wanting to eat the elixir, but now that Qi Xiu was gently cleaning the wound for it, it suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Qi Xiu bandaged Zhu Qiao's wound. Seeing the little guy tilting his head and staring at him, he couldn't help but patted its head and fed a pill, then carried it to the window sill.

"Go, stay away from your former master, and don't be caught by others again."

Xiao Zhu turned around and looked at Qi Xiu for a while, blinked her watery eyes, then jumped a few times and disappeared by the window.

Lu Man didn't bother to care about this, he sat at the table and didn't know what he was thinking.

Qi Xiu looked at him: "Brother, where did you go last night? Did you not return all night?"

Lu Man shook his head: "It's nothing, I went out for a stroll, and you don't have to worry if I'm not here at night."

The two packed up, and when they went downstairs, they saw other Taiqing disciples were already preparing breakfast downstairs.

Seeing Qi Xiu coming down, Qu Ming waved to him.Qi Xiu sat over, and Yu Mu also smiled at him friendly.

Lu Man had already bigued, and was not interested in these meals at all. He sat on the side boredly, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see the person he wanted to see. He suddenly became impatient, talked to Qi Xiu and left.

Qu Ming took a sip of the porridge, and said to Qi Xiu mysteriously: "Just now I heard from the brothers of the inner sect that many people from the sect came, and the Xuantian faction who discovered the secret realm decided to go to the secret realm together tomorrow."

Qi Xiu didn't understand why Qu Ming acted so secretively. Since all the sects will go together tomorrow, everyone will know about it.

Qu Ming leaned over: "You don't know, I also heard that the Xuantian faction has a bad reputation here in Cangye... When you didn't come down just now, the senior brothers told us who are not high-level to be careful and take precautions." See what conspiracy the Xuantian faction has."

"Cough." Yu Mu put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly.The Xuantian Sect has a bad reputation, but their Taiqing's current reputation in Shangyangzhou is not good either.Such things as reputation are nothing more than echoing what others say.

Qu Ming hurriedly shut her mouth and stopped talking. She picked up the bowl, but behind the bowl, she winked quietly at Qi Xiu with her small face.

Qi Xiu understood.

There is no need to go to the secret realm today, so Elder Qin asked them to rest and take a walk around, but they can't leave the city, lest they encounter any danger and rescue them in time.

After eating, Qi Xiu went back to his room, and sure enough Qu Ming was waiting for him at the door.

"Let's go, let's go! Brother Yu always looks serious, I asked him to accompany me to go out for a stroll, and he actually asked me to practice! What are you cultivating, cultivating, of course it's fun to come out after so much trouble."

"Go out to play? Take me with you!" Ye Liulan said with a smile, appearing out of nowhere.

Qu Ming didn't seem to like Ye Liulan's playful smile very much, so he didn't pay much attention to him, so Qi Xiu could only smile awkwardly at him.Ye Liulan didn't care about their attitude at all, and followed behind them.

When the three of them went downstairs, Qi Ming happened to go upstairs.

Qi Ming was very grateful to Qi Xiu after what happened last night, and he actually followed after he knew it was because he went out to play.So it became four people walking together.

"Senior Brother Qi, why didn't you see Senior Brother Xie?" Qi Xiu didn't see Xie Ling when he was eating just now, so he finally couldn't help asking.

Qi Ming said: "Brother Xie and Sister Ren went out with Elder Qin early this morning. I don't know where they went."

Qi Xiu nodded, he didn't know why he felt a little disappointed, he ignored this strange point.

The four of them walked in this city, and the sky was full of yellow sand outside the city, and there was inevitably some dust in the city. Fortunately, people who are cultivators know some purification techniques, a little spell, and a small technique, and the dust will naturally be fine. Not stained anymore.

Walking in the city during the day is different from what I saw in the evening, probably because many monks have come recently, and the city is very lively.Those vendors were full of smiles and enthusiasm because they had a lot of business.

Most of the cultivators in Cangye domesticate spiritual pets, and the monks I saw on the road have many tall and mighty or small and exquisite spiritual pets with them.Looking at it, Qi Xiu thought of the little red bird that morning, and wondered how it was doing now.

"Hey! You see there is an exchange there. Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can find what we need. The elder said that the secret realm is very dangerous this time, so we should prepare more things!" Seeing a sign in front of him, Qu Ming hurriedly Pulled them in.

There are many monks in the exchange who are choosing magic weapons. It seems that everyone attaches great importance to this trip to the secret realm.

As soon as they entered, Qu Ming looked around and saw many spiritual artifacts on the left, so he walked over to have a look.

Several people scattered to look at the things they were interested in, and Qi Xiu naturally walked to the pill area.

Qu Ming just looked at it casually, and she really saw a magic weapon she wanted. It was a slender sword with a faint light. But the shape is very elegant and beautiful, and she fell in love with it immediately.

"Brother! How do you sell this sword? I want..." Qu Ming excitedly asked the clerk of the exchange.

The clerk of the exchange was about to answer, but an inappropriate voice came in.

"I want this sword!"

Qu Ming frowned, what happened to this man?Obviously she said it first.She looked back dissatisfied, but saw several people surrounded by a woman, who looked at her arrogantly, very arrogant.

However, when Qu Ming saw the clothes of Lei Ting Xianmen disciples on her body, she immediately understood that she was from Lei Ting.

Taiqing has been at odds with Lei Ting all these years, and they are always unhappy when they meet each other.Right now, disciple Lei Ting is obviously looking for trouble deliberately because he is wearing Taiqing disciple's costume.

Qu Ming didn't want to cause trouble for the sect, seeing the other party like this, he held back his breath and didn't plan to entangle him too much.

"Oh, it really came from a place like Taiqing, and you can't even afford a mid-level spirit sword." The woman didn't let her go, and even taunted her.

"Yes, yes, I see, you Taiqing disciples should go back earlier, don't come to Cangye to embarrass yourself." Seeing the woman speak, the male monk behind her immediately responded.

Qu Ming was also spoiled by her parents when she grew up, and when she came to Taiqing, she was also taken care of by her master, senior brothers and sisters, how could she ever suffer such anger.

She endured and endured, clenched her hands, turned and left.

"Hey! If you call me Fairy Thunder, I can consider giving this sword to you. I don't think you can afford it. How about it?"

Unexpectedly, the more she wanted to calm things down, the more Lei Ting disciple wanted to get entangled with her.

Qu Ming finally got angry, she turned around and said sarcastically: "I don't know who is shouting here, it turns out to be Lei Ting's people, as expected, all Lei Ting's disciples have such virtues. Since your master didn't teach you well, don't let you out to embarrass yourself! "

"What did you say?" the female monk said angrily, and several disciples behind her also stepped forward and surrounded Qu Ming with fierce expressions.

The movement here naturally attracted a lot of attention, they whispered to this place, and some monks from Shangyangzhou who knew the grievances between the two sects were watching the show.

Qi Xiu and Qi Ming also noticed this, and hurried over to protect Qu Ming.

"How many of you men actually bully a little girl in public? If you're not ashamed, I'll be ashamed for you!" Ye Liulan walked over, and there was no smile on her usual laughing face.

He glanced at the sword in the woman's hand, and let out a disdainful "hum".He casually pulled out the sword at his waist, and with a "squeaky" sound, the bright sword light flashed across the exchange, and as soon as he met his face, all the monks knew that it was a high-level spirit sword.

"We have a lot of good swords, keep yours as a family heirloom! Let's go."

Ye Liulan pulled Qu Ming and walked out. Disciple Lei Ting wanted to stop him, but there were too many people here, and many monks pointed at them. If the senior brother found out that they behaved like this, they would definitely be punished.

"What are you doing in a daze? Bring that woman back to me!" The female monk was originally Bai Ruoshui, the daughter of the elder of Thunder's inner sect. Some of the shrinking brothers were even more angry.

She made up her mind to go back and complain to her senior brother.

What Lei Ting's people think about Qi Xiu and the others don't care.

After walking out, Qu Ming thanked Ye Liulan gratefully. Ye Liulan helped her just now, but she changed a lot towards him.

"It seems that the two sects have grievances. Since it is a matter between the sects, I won't ask any more questions." Ye Liulan returned to that playful look, looking a little rascal.

Qi Ming was a little embarrassed and said, "Junior sister, I was negligent just now and didn't take good care of you." He is an inner sect senior, so naturally if he took care of his junior and junior sisters, he ended up being bullied.

Qu Ming quickly waved his hands: "Senior brother, please don't say that, Lei Ting's people are looking for trouble on purpose, we just ignore them."

Qi Xiu had just looked at the elixir area, and a small part of those elixirs were high-level, but in terms of effect, some of them were not as good as the middle-level elixir he refined.

"I just took a look at the medicinal pill area, and most of them have mediocre effects. After all, I think this is just a small town in a barren land, and it's not very useful. I have some medicinal pills that I refined here, and they work well, so I'll give you a point. .”

Qi Xiu took out the elixir he made.

Ye Liulan approached curiously, and Qi Xiu also gave him a few bottles, Ye Liulan took it unceremoniously, after he opened the lid and smelled it, he looked at Qi Xiu with a strange look.

The effect of this elixir is not good, but quite good. It is definitely the top among middle-level elixir. This person is not good at refining Qi, but he is so talented in alchemy.
