Chapter IV: Covert Protection (I)
Qi Ming, who originally wanted to leave, felt the killing intent of the young lady in the house, sighed slightly in his heart, and secretly thought that his formation had been delayed, after all, Wen'er saved her life, and he couldn't bear to leave like this.
Although Qi Ming was not in a hurry to leave here, after all, he had to be familiar with the territory of the Ice Spirit Dynasty first, and it was very important to find the location of the Wind Thunder, but such a matter in front of him was not very easy to handle.
If he told Wen'er what happened tonight, Wen'er might not believe it, even if Wen'er believed it, maybe she would go directly to Zhang Yang for verification, but at that time, with her flamboyant and affectionate temperament, she might kill Wen'er directly.
If Wen'er is allowed to go with him, it is obviously impossible, she lives well here, why should she go with him?
If he secretly killed Zhang Yang in front of him and the woman in the house, but he is now injured, the killing of the city lord will definitely be discovered, and Zhang Yang and the woman in the house in front of him are obviously not ordinary in the city lord's mansion, how can they be good at that time?
I have to say that Qi Ming is now in a very awkward position, so he feels a little bored.
"I can only take one step at a time!" Qi Ming muttered to himself, and then turned back to Wen'er's room in the servant's quarters.
Qi Ming pushed open the door, looked at the clean and tidy room, remembered Wen'er's smiling face just now, and suddenly grinned, although she didn't have a good eye, but she was really kind.
Qi Ming looked at the simple sketched smile behind the last word of the note on the table, and his face became serious, "As long as I am here, it will not be so easy for anyone who wants to move you." ”
Now that he is determined to save Wen'er, the first thing Qi Ming has to do now is to restore his strength.
In addition to giving Qi Ming a dragon-shaped jade pendant, the big sword and the Holy Soul Technique were all placed in a storage ring given to him by the master.
Qi Ming believed that there must be other good things in this storage ring, and now that he had free time, he naturally couldn't wait to check the contents of the storage ring.
Who knows if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it!
The space inside this storage ring is also extraordinarily large, and it is about the same as the area occupied by the Qi family in Chiyang Town.
In this huge storage space, there is a large pile of strange ice piled up in the outermost part, and the reason why Qi Ming feels strange is because there are spiritual power fluctuations in this pile of ice, and ordinary ice will not have this kind of spiritual power fluctuations.
Although I don't know what the use of this ice the size of a few rooms is, it is not too difficult to figure it out, after all, this is the Ice Spirit Dynasty!
Except for this pile of spirit ice, most of the remaining space was placed with pills.
Xiao Sheng was able to cultivate to the point of that kind of power at his peak, in addition to his average talent, his identity as an alchemist helped him a lot. It's a pity that although Qi Ming's body is excellent for refining the body, his alchemy talent is average, and the judgment of alchemy talent is to look at the strength of the cultivator's innate soul strength, the stronger the innate soul, the stronger the alchemy talent.
Xiao Sheng found the successor of the Nine Thunder Technique with one of his followers who arranged it back then, and the inheritance of his alchemy was not so important, and he also accepted a few alchemy disciples to teach alchemy at that time, and he believed that his alchemy had not lost its inheritance.
Although Qi Ming couldn't inherit his alchemy, he also prepared some pills for him, a closed disciple, to help this disciple solve some troubles encountered in his cultivation path.
For example, now Qi Ming has easily found an elixir called "Condensing Water Pill", which is suitable for cultivators in the Spirit Sea Realm and Tongnian Realm, which can recover injuries and consolidate cultivation, which is really the most suitable for Qi Ming's current physical condition.
Qi Ming read the introduction of the pill, took out a condensing pill and swallowed it directly, and began to meditate and refine.
The Condensing Pill melted in his mouth, like water across his throat, to his abdomen, turning into a mass of warmth and seeping into his limbs, in this cold country, this feeling was really very comfortable, making him feel very nostalgic.
After Qi Ming refined this Condensing Water Pill, most of the time in the middle of the night had passed, he slowly opened his eyes, heard some hurried footsteps outside the door, slowly stood up, and opened the door.
After most of the night's cultivation, Qi Ming's injuries have almost recovered, that is, the spiritual power cannot be recovered for the time being, which is the sequelae of the spiritual power infusion, but under the effect of the Condensing Water Pill, it is only a matter of one or two days to recover.
The sky was already dark, and in a quarter of an hour at most, the sky would be bright, and the entire City Lord's Mansion would not be so quiet at that time.
Wen'er came back from Zhang Yang alone, and on the way back, she saw that the brocade robe that Qi Ming was wearing yesterday fell to the ground, so she picked it up and prepared to take it back.
Qi Ming saw the brocade robe in Wen'er's hand, it was a little strange, it was obviously placed on the roof, how did she get it?
He had just come to the Ice Spirit Dynasty, and he didn't know that the climate here was windy, and the wind last night blew the brocade robe off.
Wen'er saw Qi Ming open the door, walked two steps quickly, and when she got closer, she found that Qi Ming had changed into a thin green clothes, and she seemed to explain and said: "I washed this dress, and I changed it for you." ”
Qi Ming smiled slightly, his face showed a hint of embarrassment, "It's a little thick, it's a little tight, it feels uncomfortable, and I forgot to take it back after changing it yesterday, I'm really sorry!"
"Nothing. Wen'er saw Qi Ming's somewhat embarrassed face, waved her hand to show that she didn't mind, and then asked with some concern, "Aren't you cold wearing like this?"
Qi Ming said: "It's nothing, spiritual power can keep out the cold, I can use spiritual power to keep out the cold, and running spiritual power at all times can also improve my cultivation." ”
Wen'er smiled and praised, "You have cultivated very hard! What kind of cultivation is it now?"
Qi Ming scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and said perfunctorily: "My talent is average, and my cultivation is not very high. ”
Wen'er said with a smile: "Talent does not determine the level of achievement in the future, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to become stronger." ”
"I've always thought so. Qi Ming said firmly to Wen'er.
"I don't think you're dressed like a local, you're from the south?" Wen'er asked as she walked to the back room and put away her brocade robe.
"yes! I've come from far away, so it's not so cold. Qi Ming did not deny it.
After Wen'er put away the brocade robe, she quickly made a simple breakfast and ate it with Qi Ming.
"Wen'er, what do you do in the City Lord's Mansion?" Qi Ming asked as he drank his porridge.
Wen'er replied: "It's to make some groceries in the house, bring tea and water, and so on." ”
"Then are you usually tired from work?" Qi Ming asked again.
"It's okay, every night before going to bed, I nourish my body with spiritual power, and the next day I have the spirit again. Wen'er replied.
"Oh, by the way," Qi Ming remembered the pile of ice in the storage ring, took out a piece casually, and asked Wen'er, "Have you ever seen ice like this?"
Wen'er was taken aback when she saw the basin-sized ice emitting spiritual energy in Qi Ming's hand, and asked, "Why do you have so much spiritual ice?"
Qi Ming asked, "Spirit Ice?"
"Spirit Ice is the common currency among the cultivators of the Ice Spirit Dynasty, and it should be similar to the role of the Spirit Stone over there!" Wen'er explained, "The Ice Spirit Dynasty is all plains, and only the northernmost part has a snow-capped mountain, so the production of spirit stones is not available, but because of the unique climate, most of the ice fields in the north of the Ice Spirit are ice fields, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth forms spirit ice under the ice fields, which can be used for cultivation and can also be used as currency." ”
"Oh," Qi Ming suddenly realized when he heard Wen'er say this, it turned out that the master had prepared for him.
"Although Lingbing is a universal currency, this is the first time I've seen such a large piece of Lingbing Ice of yours, it should be more than a dozen catties, right? Where did you get it?" Qi Ming was thanking Master in his heart when he heard Wen'er say with extreme envy.
"It turns out that Ling Bing is weighed in pounds!" Qi Ming thought about it in his heart, then put Ling Bing on the table, pushed it to the opposite side, and said to Wen'er with a smile: "I sent you." ”
"Send me?!" Wen'er was taken aback, although she was very envious of Qi Ming for having such a large piece of spirit ice, but she really didn't expect Qi Ming to give it to herself so easily.
"That's right!" Qi Ming was worried that Wen'er would be embarrassed to accept it, and said, "You saved my life, send you a piece of ice to express your gratitude, that's what I should do, don't refuse~"
"If I accept your spirit ice, will you think that I saved you for this piece of spirit ice?" Wen'er still confiscated it, and asked with some concern, she just said Qi Ming just because of kindness, not because of a piece of spirit ice!
"What do you want!" Qi Ming scolded a little unhappily, "If it was for Ling Bing, maybe you wouldn't have saved me at that time and just took my storage ring away! ”
Wen'er was a little embarrassed by Qi Ming's words, her face was flushed, and she said with shame to Lingbing's subordinates: "Thank you!"
Qi Ming saw that Wen'er had Lingbing under his hands, so he continued to eat, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he met Wen'er, otherwise he would have met someone with evil intentions, maybe the storage ring and the dragon-shaped jade pendant would have been lost, then he really wanted to cry without tears!
Just when Qi Ming was immersed in eating, Qi Ming heard footsteps suddenly outside the door, and Qi Ming judged through the footsteps that the person who came should cultivate and should be in the late stage of the Spirit Channeling Realm.
Boom!
The door was kicked open directly, which scared Wen'er.
Although Qi Ming had his back to the door, he had already sensed that someone was coming, but he still turned around with surprise and asked the person in front of him, "Who are you?"
Wen'er hurriedly stood up, walked in front of Qi Ming, and said cautiously, "Steward Li, I don't know what to order?"
Steward Li glanced at Qi Ming indifferently, and then said to Wen'er: "From today onwards, you go to the laundry room to wash clothes, and your other work will be replaced!"
