"I was supposed to help you. It's just that I haven't been involved in cultivating for a long time, and I'm powerless now!" Xiao Yi saw that Zhao Qianbei's eyes were closed even tighter, and the expression on his face became more and more painful, and he couldn't bear to continue to explain.

"Boy, I can think of it if you don't say it. At the beginning, your uncle told me that the opening of a person's spiritual root requires a lot of material and financial resources. Otherwise, you will encounter the so-called fairy fate at the beginning of your life, before you are tainted by the turbidity of the world. Otherwise, the longer you stay in this world, the more difficult it will be to open the spiritual root. I think I was already a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen when I met your uncle, and I missed the best opportunity to cultivate at that time. Nowadays, when it comes to financial resources, I am also a leader in the secular world. But I never had the opportunity to start choosing Xiuzhen again. This is my life, my own life. ”

Zhao Qian's eyes were closed, and he drank it all in one gulp with the wine jug.

"At the beginning, your uncle said that like your Xiao family, it is a family with a foundation for cultivating the truth. This spiritual root of cultivation is very easy to open in a cultivation family. But my parents were mortals, and there had never been a cultivator in the family for several generations. It is very easy for the children of a cultivator to possess the spiritual root of cultivation, but if none of their parents are monks who have opened the spiritual root, then the possibility that their children will be able to open the spiritual root is one in a million. I resigned myself to my fate, and the reason why I feel so emotionally today is entirely because I have encountered some things in the past two days, and my mood has fluctuated a little. Tomorrow is estimated to be fine. It's okay, I'm used to it. Zhao Qianbei took a deep breath and exhaled a long time. This deep breathing has a pause effect, which can both adjust the overly excited breathing and heartbeat, and also allow a person's thinking to end first. When I start thinking about things again, my mood swings will be much calmer.

"Senior, you said earlier that you can already call the wind and rain in the secular world. In the hearts of many people, this is a life that they chase even if they are unattainable in their lifetime. If I had a choice, I'd rather be the ranger who was happy to take revenge. This life of cultivation is really not as casual as I was at the beginning. I saw the destruction of my family and the burning of my father's mausoleum. Sometimes I envy your ordinary life, and envy the kind of family that is kind of father and son. Although the starting point of ordinary people's lives is low, at least there is a starting point. Who would be like me?" Xiao Yi got up and walked to the door, looked at the rising sun in the east, and said with empty eyes: "I don't even have a starting point, nothing." Others climb the steps step by step, and the worst thing is to stand at the foot of the mountain. But from the very beginning of my life, I was buried in the soil, and no matter how hard I tried to dig up and climb, I was still far from the ground at the foot of the mountain. ”

As soon as the morning sun shone on the earth, it was swallowed up by a dark cloud. Xiao Yat seemed to be able to see through the clouds and see the red sun trying to climb upward. It's just that all its sunlight is blocked by dark clouds, and the earth is dark, and you can't feel half of the sun's effort.

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said faintly: "Don't you envy cultivators? If I say that I was stunned by a few monks with drugs just after cultivating my cultivation, and almost became the prey of others? If I say that the first friend I made in Xiuzhen was killed in front of me by my companions before I could make a deep friendship with me, would you still be envious? Even the omnipotent cultivator in your eyes was taken in as a guard and trapped on a desert island for ten years before he came into contact with Xiuzhen, is this the kind of freedom you imagined?"

Zhao Qianbei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi in front of the door. What did this young man say as if he had experienced it himself, but what did he experience?

"It's very aggrieved to let you help me guard against it, isn't it? You have also come into contact with some loose cultivators, and how many people can build a foundation in ten years? How can I hear you say that it looks like a little daughter-in-law has been greatly wronged?"

Qin Xi's voice suddenly sounded on the other side, this was a sound transmission technique, but it didn't just reach Xiao Yi's ears, but echoed in the entire West Chamber Zhao Qianbei's room.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then exchanged glances with Zhao Qianbei. This Qi Xi cultivation is not something that the two of them can estimate, and they are still heard by the other party at such a distance, and it sounds like the tone is already a little angry.

"Sister, I just told the truth. You can't be angry with me, can you? I'm telling the truth, I didn't add the slightest amount of oil and vinegar, and I didn't slander my eldest sister!"

Xiao Yi grimaced and hurriedly explained.

"It's a fact that you're on the island to defend me. If you hadn't guarded it wholeheartedly, why did you think I would have helped you build your foundation so quickly? It's like I'm bullying you!"

The last sentence of this voice came from behind Xiao Yi, and at this time, the two of them noticed that there was an extra shadow on the seat in the room, and Qin Xi, who was supposed to be in the opposite room, actually appeared next to the two martial arts masters out of thin air.

"Eldest sister, you don't practice in your own room, why did you come to us? I didn't say anything bad just now, it's just that Senior Zhao is sad that he has no chance to cultivate in this life, and I also said that it is helpless to cultivate some truth, and it is not okay to find some balance for his old man. If I say how good the cultivation is, and the eldest sister takes care of me more! Doesn't this make Senior Zhao sound even more angry?"

Xiao Yi showed a naïve look on his face, and said with a bitter face.

"I've heard everything you say. Zhao Qianbei, let me ask you, do you really want to step into the world of cultivators? Are you willing to spend a lot of money to try another life?"

Qin Xi looked at Zhao Qianbei who was leaning on the head of the bed with a straight face, and every word made the other party's expression change suddenly.

Zhao Qianbei hurriedly climbed out of bed, clenched his fists and bowed: "If you can try to cultivate the truth in this life, you will have no regrets even if you have exhausted Zhao's net worth." ”

Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded, squinted at Xiao Yi and said, "What your Xiao family can't do doesn't mean that cultivators can't do it." Although I don't dare to guarantee that Zhao Qianbei will build a foundation and tie the pill, there will be no problem in becoming a Qi cultivation period cultivator and adding more than a hundred years of life. ”

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao Qianbei with great joy. Although this Qin Xi often plays a little temper, her ability should not be underestimated. Since she can say it, it can't be wrong to think about it.

"Seniors really have a way?" Zhao Qianbei said excitedly when he heard this. This cultivation is tantamount to opening a new chapter in his life, and his mood at this time is difficult to describe in words.

"Don't call me from your predecessors. You see an old man calling a little girl a senior, do you think it's the old man's cultivation, or is this little girl too old?" Although Qin Xi's identity and strength are above Zhao Qianbei, he refuses to be called old by the other party.

"Fairy, little old man should call you a fairy. Zhao Qianbei saw that Qin Xi's tone was displeased, so he hurriedly changed his tone and smiled.

"Well, that's a good thing for me to call it. Zhao Qianbei, let me ask you, if you have the opportunity to open the spiritual root, everything you have as a mortal mortal may become an illusion, and even you have to send me a hundred years, are you really willing?"

"If you go back to the fairy, if you can spy on the way to cultivate the truth, you will have no regrets about letting the little old man die on this road. Glory and wealth are not what the little old man expects. If the fairy wants to take it, it's just ......" Zhao Qianbei raised his eyes hesitantly and secretly glanced at Qin Xi, and there was a twist and hesitation between his words that did not match his age.

"But what? Otherwise, once the path of cultivation is opened, there will be no turning back. Qin Xi frowned, in fact, she also made a choice for Zhao Qianbei to cultivate the truth.

"Eldest sister, I guess he wants to ask you if you can just take the money and leave the wine for him. Xiao Yi looked at Zhao Qianbei with a strange expression, and answered tentatively.

Qin Xi was stunned for a while when she heard this, and she looked at Zhao Qianbei again. Seeing the other party's awkward smile, he immediately understood something.

"I don't want to ask you what you like. Except for the drinks, can you give up the rest?" Qin Xi never expected the other party to make such a request, so he sorted out his emotions and asked seriously.

"I, Zhao Qianbei, am willing to give up all the glory and wealth of time, and even sacrifice my own life. I only hope that the fairy can fulfill the dream of cultivating in the next place. Zhao Qianbei was willing to give up his hundred years of freedom and let Xiao Yi drive him. Zhao Qianbei changed his usual expression and bowed with a straight face.

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of yellow paper floated in front of him. Xiao Yi saw this piece of yellow paper suspended in front of Zhao Qianbei, and his heart was also cold.

After signing this yellow paper, Zhao Qianbei will also give up a hundred years of freedom in the future. Because this vow scroll involves too much cause and effect, it is a promise that must not be broken.

Watching Zhao Qianbei bite his index finger and sign his name on the yellow paper, Xiao Yi's heart was full of flavors. He is not qualified to assess whether the other party's decision is correct, but if he has this choice, then he would rather have no chance with Xiuzhen in exchange for the safety of his family.

The oath scroll turned into a piece of dust and dissipated into the air the moment Zhao Qianbei wrote his name, Qin Xi nodded with satisfaction, smiled and took out a white medicine bottle and threw it into Zhao Qianbei's hand.

"There are a hundred pills in it, and you take one a day. By the time it's all gone, your body should be almost clean. When that time comes, I will guide you to open the spiritual root. ”

Xiao Yi walked to Zhao Qianbei's side curiously, reached out to take the medicine bottle, opened the lid and sniffed it with his nose, and suddenly looked at Qin Xi with a strange expression.

"Colon cleansing pills? You let him take this for a hundred days in a row? Are you trying to kill him?"

"Do you know this thing?" Qin Xi blinked curiously when she heard this, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"It's something I've been eating for 10 years since I was five years old. On the fifteenth day of every month, you should eat one. The elders in the family said that it was good for my health, but I later learned that I would have a stomach trouble after eating this thing. Twice a month, I'm barely acceptable. Now that you let Senior Zhao take it for a hundred days in a row, do you want him to die on the toilet?" Xiao Yi thought of Zhao Qianbei's next fate. At the beginning, even in the later stage, I was extremely resistant to this thing. Because after eating, I kept going to the thatched house all day long. No matter how high his martial arts cultivation is, no matter how strong his endurance is, the feeling of turning the river and the sea in his stomach is unacceptable to him. If you go a little later, the back hole will slip out more than just gas.

"I said, how can you have such a good physique! Dare to take more than 100 intestinal cleansing pills! This thing can remove the filth from the body, and as long as it does not harm the roots, it can eliminate the acquired vulgar turbidity. A person must take at least 100 pills to purify his body, otherwise it would be a real headache to let an ordinary mortal cultivate the truth. You said that you have taken this pill for more than ten years, it should be at least a hundred and twenty pills. If you calculate it according to one of ten lower grade spirit stones, then you have eaten more than two thousand lower grade spirit stones. ”

Qin Xi said it ordinary, but Xiao Yi's face changed when he heard this.

"Ten spirit stones a grain, how can it be so expensive?"

Qin Xi glanced at Xiao Yi and said angrily: "Is this expensive? Do you think it is so easy for a mortal to obtain the foundation of cultivation? I am talking about the price that circulates among the cultivation families, if you say that if you trade with mortals, the price will increase tenfold is also very common. ”

Zhao Qianbei looked at the two of them suspiciously, he now knew that this bottle of medicine would have diarrhea after eating, and it seemed that the reaction was exaggerated. It's just that the two of them don't understand what they are arguing about, what is the spirit stone, so he asked curiously: "Boy, are you really a snack on this thing? Is it very expensive?"

Xiao Yi stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand, and said angrily: "Ten spirit stones for cultivators, if mortals want to buy more." It's very valuable, so you should cherish it. I mean, cherish your body. ”

"How much is it worth?" Zhao Qianbei took the medicine bottle and saw it inside.

"This bottle is worth a million gold coins. ”

"One Hundred ...... 10,000! It's still a gold coin!" Zhao Qianbei's eyes were about to pop out. The hand holding the medicine bottle began to tremble involuntarily. Originally, Xiao Yi thought that this kind of panic would last for three or two days, but he didn't want Zhao Qianbei to adjust his mentality just after being nervous for a moment.

"It's okay, it's okay. That is, the price of ten bottles of rose dew, which is acceptable. Zhao Qianbei compared the bottle of excellent wine he had bought, and the excitement in his heart eased a lot. How nice it would be if this rose dew could open the spiritual root for you!

"Old man, how much money have you wasted? You are willing to spend 100,000 gold coins on a bottle of wine!" Xiao Yi looked at Zhao Qianbei angrily, and began to hope that the effect of this intestinal cleansing pill would be more obvious.

"After so much delay with you, it's time for me to go back. By the way, Zhao Qianbei, this list is for you. You use the resources you have to collect them for me. It's all mundane things, and I want as much as I want. If someone collects any precious herbs that they can't get their hands on, you can also ask them to send them over. As long as it's good, I'll definitely take it. Qin Xi looked at her surroundings and frowned slightly. After thinking about it for a long time, he continued: "Let's go back and buy the next door." You move next door and open a store that specializes in medicine. As long as there are things on the list, we don't want ordinary ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Xi stepped out of the room, and at this time, the dark clouds dispersed, and a round of golden sun radiated brilliance.

Xiao Yi saw that Qin Xi had returned to his room, so he took out a bottle of palace wine from the storage bag and handed it to Zhao Qianbei.

"It tasted good in the palace. Before you have taken your medicine, drink it quickly. There is only so much that can help you get to know one. ”

Zhao Qianbei took the wine bottle and smelled a refreshing aroma of wine through the cap. He smiled gratefully at Xiao Yi, pulled off the lid and drank it happily.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Yat took the next door down. All the things in the store were left, except for some precious and soft gold, and what the other party could take away was a large amount of gold coins as compensation.

Xiao Yi closed the door, took out a storage bag, and put away all the clutter in the room. After a few moments, there was nothing else in the front hall and backyard except for the tables and chairs of the house.

When he went out, Xiao Yi saw Zhao Qianbei, and at this time he was holding a brand-new plaque in his hand, on which a few big characters were written "idlers are not allowed to enter".

"This is inscribed by the fairy himself for me. I just went to the carpenter to color it, and this is the first time I've been a shopkeeper. ”

The smile on Zhao Qianbei's face turned into a flower, decades of longing finally became a reality, and he was now as excited as if he had been reborn.

"Gotta go yourself. I'll go back and see what I can do. Xiao Yi smiled and didn't bother Zhao Qianbei, he could imagine the joy in the heart of this old man at this time. Although the next road may make him desperate, after all, he has lived half his life, and he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy.

I remember that when I was in the rivers and lakes with Zhao Qianbei, even if it was the emperor and queen, the food was leftover from the old man. Although Zhao Qianbei has no children and no daughters, he has not been left in the Qinglou Flower Workshop.

By the time Xiao Yi finished his work in the store and went out again, the sign next door had already been hung up. I thought it was a deserted store, but unexpectedly it was full of people.

More than a dozen young men dressed as men greeted a group of characters with obvious identities at the door, a change that Xiao Yi never expected.

Xiao Yi walked to the door, and was about to enter, but was stopped by two men.

"This son, although the shop is open for business, there is a rule. If Childe has any rare herb minerals, let's take a look at the condition first. If it's not something we need in our store, then we can only say sorry. ”

Xiao Yi wanted to laugh angrily. This writes that idlers are not allowed to enter, who knows what is needed in the store?

"I'm looking for Zhao Qianbei for something. It's okay if you don't go in, you tell him that the person next door surnamed Xiao is looking for him. ”

When Xiao Er heard this, his face suddenly became solemn. A few guys next to him whispered a few words, and suddenly the whole front of the store fell into whispering.

Soon, the shopkeeper and a crowd of onlookers gathered in front of the store, and the leader of the little two stepped out and said, "This son, if you want to make Old Man Zhao look long, you can take out the things." If you come to Liwei and want everyone to learn the rules, I advise you to dispel this idea. Our store is just a façade for friends from the rivers and lakes to come and sell some treasures. There is no intention of competing with any merchant for business and business. Words, I'll help you bring it back. If nothing else, please go back. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Er took another step forward. Although Xiao Yi was a little unhappy, he did not have a seizure. After all, this is also Zhao Qianbei's business, in other words, this is also Qinxi's business. Besides, what the other party said was obviously defending Zhao Qianbei, and he couldn't blame the other party.

"Isn't this Xiao Gongzi? You also came to congratulate Mr. Zhao?" A voice sounded, everyone looked over, and even Xiao Yi turned his head to look at the person who came in confusion.
