After returning from Huangshan, Cao Jun rested at home for a few days.

The wedding date with Gaofu is getting closer and closer, and people on both sides are starting to get busy.

The main thing is that the Gao Mansion is preparing, and the subordinates on the Cao Mansion side help cooperate, and even Cao Jun was pulled out to try the groom's clothes.

Due to the uproar over the previous flower thieves, Gao Fu felt that he was a little at a loss, and in addition to the rich dowry, the items needed for the entire wedding were basically arranged by them.

The Cao Mansion cleaned up the master bedroom in the middle of the backyard as a wedding room, and Miaoguanren and his personal maid Lan Lan took the initiative to move to the west wing, and the old mother still stayed in the east wing, so as to take care of the pregnant woman Miaoguanren.

As household goods and other decorations were carried into the Cao Mansion one by one, red lanterns and happy couplets under the eaves were also pasted.

The entire Cao Mansion suddenly took on a new look, and there was a festive atmosphere before the wedding.

On this day, Cao Jun was suddenly invited to the next house by Nanshan Daoren with a mysterious face.

When he was taken to a room, he found that the old ginseng and the monkey were also in the house.

As for the old ginseng, he sat directly on the cushion, his eyes closed, and his face was flushed.

On the wooden table in front of him, there was an extra knife and several porcelain bowls.

After a long time, Lao Ginseng suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at several people with a complex color of gratitude and helplessness mixed together, only to see him sigh, as if he had made up his mind, and then gently held the knife in his hand, hesitated for a moment and then slashed on his arm.

A pale green fluid soon leaked from the wound.

It is not like the blood flowing from humans or animals, but like an ointment that has been boiled for a long time, with a hint of green in the viscosity.

All of a sudden, the surrounding air became fragrant, like a bamboo forest after the rain, full of life.

Cao Jun's breathing suddenly became much thicker.

Although the people of Nanshan Dao did not elaborate on him, Cao Jun was exquisite, how could he not understand what was happening in front of him?

When this old ginseng first settled in Caofu, several people had already reached a temporary agreement, they were responsible for protecting the safety of the old ginseng, and the other party regularly provided them with "tribute".

The so-called tribute is the protection fee.

Could it be that these pale green liquids are the protection money paid by the other party?

After the old ginseng cut his arm, he unhurriedly rested the wound on the porcelain bowl, and waited for the pale green liquid to flow to the porcelain bowl and cover the bottom, and then continued to move to the second porcelain bowl.

Cao Jun and the other three looked at each other, and they all saw a scorching heat in each other's eyes.

"Okay, you divide it up, and the next time will be in three months."

After the old ginseng released the essence, his expression had already become languishing, and his originally flushed face was directly concave, like a leaking ball.

It seems that this tribute has hurt him a lot.

No wonder every three months.

Cao Jun felt a trace of guilt for a while.

But think about it, there are a lot of big demons in the Yellow Mountain, if this old ginseng falls on a certain big demon, the other party is afraid that he will not wait for a day, and directly click him and swallow the whole mouthful.

Now, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Two choices, two lives.

Just as Cao Jun was thinking about it, the other two were already impatient, and directly reached out to grab the porcelain bowl on the table.

Three people, three porcelain bowls, there is nothing to grab.

Soon, only the last porcelain bowl remained on the table.

This belongs to the host Cao Jun.

He saw that after the Nanshan Taoist took back the porcelain bowl, he eagerly leaned his neck and drank it all, and the monkey did the same, and then the two of them meditated in the room with their eyes and nose and nose in mind.

I think it's in luck, in order to digest the nutrients that I absorb.

Cao Jun didn't continue to wait and see, he directly swallowed the viscous liquid, and just like them, he began to run the Taishang Qi Refining Decision.

Taishang Qi Refining is an auxiliary Qi Refining Method, which is divided into Hope Qi, Qi Gathering and Qi Nourishing, and Cao Jun is currently in the third stage.

After the last time the hut by the river embankment in Qinghe County caused the induction, it has not made much progress until now, but after the liquid is inlet, the progress of qi cultivation that has been stopped for a long time has directly begun to climb slowly.

Cao Jun was overjoyed for a while, and began to cultivate more attentively.

For a while, the four people in the room were all immersed in their respective exercises.

This time the settlement lasted for a total of one day and one night, and when Cao Jun opened his eyes, he found that everyone else in the house was gone.

Cao Jun didn't care about the others, and directly tested this harvest, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the progress bar of the Qi Cultivation Realm had climbed by one-third, and now he could be regarded as entering the middle level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.

After continuing to consume the tribute of old ginseng twice, wouldn't it be possible to directly enter the consummation of the Qi cultivation realm?

Cao Jun smiled for a while.

If Nanshan Dao is here, he will definitely explain it to him.

Because it was the first time he took it this time, the effect was the greatest, and if he continued to take it later, he would not have such an effect.

There is another reason, among the cultivators of several people now, Cao Jun is the lowest.

That's one of the reasons why so much progress has been made.

Cultivation naturally becomes more and more difficult the further you go.

After finishing the settlement, Cao Jun immediately returned to his house next door and asked people to prepare hot water for bathing.

This time, his cultivation has risen a little, and there is an extra layer of viscous sweat on the surface of his body.

After taking a bath, Cao Jun returned to the West Wing with a relaxed face, and found that Miaoguanren and Lan Lan were talking and laughing together, and there were some unformed children's clothes piled up on the table.

"Sir!"

When the two saw Cao Jun, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Cao Jun hugged Miaoguanren and touched the other party's bulging belly with concern, "When you are at home, don't talk about these ordinary etiquette, now that you are about to give birth, you are the biggest in the family." ”

Cao Jun's words made Miaoguan people feel a little sweeter, and there was also a touch of tenderness and sweetness in his expression when he looked at Cao Jun.

Cao Jun held Miaoguanren for a while, and then pinched the other party's cheeks, but the latter directly made a mistake, touched Cao Jun's lower body with one hand, rubbed it, and said: "Master, the concubine has prepared some new tricks, why don't you let the master experience it today?" ”

Lan Lan on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker after hearing this.

Cao Jun coughed twice seriously, unhurriedly took out a porcelain bowl from his arms, he put the porcelain bowl on the table, and instructed Lan Landao: "Go get some boiling water, I have my own use." ”

After a while, boiling water was fetched.

Cao Jun poured boiling water directly into the porcelain bowl.

Strangely, the boiling water in the bowl quickly turned green, and there was a fresh fragrance in the room.

Cao Jun immediately instructed Miaoguan: "You drink this water to ensure the safety of your mother and son." ”

When women in this era give birth, they can't tolerate a little sloppiness, and they accidentally wander in front of the ghost gate, and it is even more common for one corpse to have two lives.

Cao Jun was determined to be Nie Xiaoqian's stepfather, so he naturally wanted to ensure the safety of their mother and daughter.

This old ginseng's thousand-year-old practice is about to usher in his first heavenly tribulation, and the essence obtained from him is the best thing to keep the baby safe.

The latter knew Cao Jun's identity as a master in the world, and thought that the other party had specially found a treasure for her, and suddenly did not suspect that he had drunk a drop of water in the bowl.

Then he threw himself into Cao Jun's arms with a touched face, and replied with a peach: "Master, you are so good to the slave family, and the slave family is very moved, why don't you stay here today." ”

Cao Jun touched a pair of papayas on the other party's chest and found that he hadn't come for a few days, and the papaya seemed to be bigger again.

At this moment, I was coquettish by the other party's delicate dripping in my arms, and I couldn't help but think of the 'new tricks' researched by the other party, and my heart was also aroused with curiosity.

Cao Jun smiled and said: "You are about to give birth, you should not be tired, let's talk about it later." ”

Miaoguanren had already sensed the latter's duplicity from Cao Jun's stiff lower body, and in order to keep Cao Jun, she directly grabbed the other party's hand and slid it on her plump buttocks.

Then he slid down and slid down, stopping in front of another hole above the peach source, and then instigated with a flattering smile: "Master, if you don't try here, the slave family has already been cleaned." ”
