After lunch, Shi Xiaohan left Gu Xu's house.

The cramped room was silent again.

"I don't know if this priceless snow ginseng can prolong my life......" Gu Xu looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and such a thought popped up in his mind.

As he thought so, he took out a copper coin from his coat pocket, tossed it gently, and silently recited the name of the heavens in his mouth, trying to obtain the answer to his question by divination.

In the blink of an eye, the copper coin landed on the table with a "dang long".

Back side up.

This obviously proves that Snow Ginseng can only improve his physical health to a certain extent, but it cannot increase his longevity - if he can't cultivate to the Seventh Realm before the age of thirty, reshape his body, and become transcendent, he will still die young.

"Perhaps the book of astrology is right," he thought to himself, "for the sake of my fate...... The body is weak and sickly, but it is only a side effect......

"But the question is, if I am really the rich and powerful Ziwei Mingge, why am I still so poor now?"

Looking at his simple and narrow room, the old and simple furniture, and the few pills he had at hand, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

…………

Then, Gu Xu, as usual, sat down cross-legged on the bamboo mat, took a "Changming Pill", closed his eyes, silently recited the mantra of "Chiyan True Formula", and entered the cultivation state.

The yin qi between heaven and earth turned into a whirlpool, pouring into his body, and then under his repeated tempering, it turned into a scorching true yuan like lava, rushing and roaring in his meridians.

An hour passed.

When the medicinal effect of "Changming Dan" was exhausted, he successfully entered the realm of "Huangquan Second Song" step by step.

At this time, he clearly felt that the True Yuan power in his body had become more majestic and powerful than before.

…………

That afternoon, Gu Xu did a total of three things at home: improve the realm, practice the "Meteor Walking the Moon" method, and perfect the third-generation "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talisman".

In addition to this, he entertained two guests at home.

The first guest was Shi Xiaohan's maid, whose name was "Chenxi", a young girl with clear eyebrows and light freckles on her face.

Chenxi was the personal maid of Shi Xiaohan's grandmother Zhao Chanyi at the beginning - at that time, her name was still "Nian Xue".

At that time, after Xiaohan and Xuan, Zhao Chanyi gave this maid to Shi Xiaohan.

Shi Xiaohan felt that the name "Nian Xue" was too soft and graceful, which did not conform to his uninhibited heroine style, so he changed the maid's name to "Qingshuang".

"Qingshuang" means that the sword light is as blue as frost.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, the term "purple electric green frost" was often used to refer to the sword.

Later, Shi Xiaohan felt that the artistic conception of the name "Qingshuang" was too severe, so he renamed the maid "Chenxi", which means "the light of the morning".

After learning about these things, Gu Xu was very sympathetic to this maid.

In just one year, the name has been changed twice in succession, and it is not easy to get used to it.

"Master Gu, this is a gift from my young lady," the maid Chenxi bowed on her knees, and respectfully handed the three bottles containing "Chang Ming Dan" to Gu Xu's hand, "Please also smile." ”

"Please convey my thanks to your young lady on my behalf!" Gu Xu took the porcelain vase and smiled sincerely.

At this moment, he couldn't count how many pills he owed Shi Xiaohan.

"When I have the strength and money in the future, I will slowly repay her......" he thought helplessly.

The second guest was Ma Qin, the new Jiupin detective of the Yishui Exorcism Division.

As soon as he walked into Gu Xu's house, Ma Qin clasped his fists with both hands and slammed towards Gu Xu.

"Brother Ma doesn't have to be polite! Let's talk about something! Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps and helped Ma Qin up.

"Xia Guan is here to thank Master Gu for saving his life." Ma Qin raised his head and said sincerely.

"A life-saving grace?"

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

Since participating in the promotion assessment in the "Old Pot" fantasy world, he has never performed any tasks with Ma Qin, let alone when he saved Ma Qin's life.

"It's the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' you drawn, Master Gu," Ma Qin quickly answered Gu Xu's confusion, "Yesterday I received a task asking me to kill a ghost named 'Fur' in the woods on the outskirts of Yishui.

"This ghost's vitality is much stronger than I imagined, I used up all the true elements, only cut it to a large mutilation, but failed to hack it to death, and it has the ability to recover itself quickly. If it weren't for the five 'ghost slaying talismans' you drew in the storehouse before, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make it back here alive." ”

"Brother Ma, this is a 'ghost killing talisman' that you exchanged for by yourself, you don't have to thank me." Gu Xu waved his hand and responded.

"No, no, no," Ma Qin immediately shook his head again and again after hearing his words, "Lord Gu, this is because the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' you drew is different and terrifyingly powerful—if this talisman was drawn by someone else, I'm afraid it won't be enough to help me get out of danger." ”

"What is the effect of the 'Ghost Slaying Talisman' on that 'Sac'?" As a monk who loves to do research, Gu Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Very good," replied Machin without hesitation, "at that time, before I could even react, the 'sac' turned to ashes in an instant.

"Now, Master Gu, your 'Ghost Slaying Talisman' is quite sought-after in our yamen! This month's talisman seals have all been redeemed, and even next month's share has been booked in advance!

"Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the talent to learn runes, otherwise I would definitely worship you as a teacher and learn from you how to draw 'ghost killing talismans'!"

…………

After Ma Qin left, Gu Xu sat back on the bamboo mat, ready to start cultivating the "Eclipse" spell and continue to strengthen his divine sense.

However, at this moment, the "Divine Machine Token" on his desk once again flashed with dazzling light.

"There's a new mission over there in the Shenji Battalion?"

He stood up, walked over to his desk, and reached for the token.

A few lines of text suddenly appeared in his vision:

"The murderous mansion of the Lu family in Qingzhou Mansion has been haunted for many years, and the Exorcism Department has sent people to investigate many times, but to no avail. Please receive the assignment ......"

"I refuse!"

When Gu Xu read this, he immediately put the 'Divine Machine Token' back in its place and ignored it anymore.

Are you kidding?

The case of the haunting of the Lu family's murderous house, this is a case that Chu Fengge, a fourth-realm monk, can't solve, let me, a weak, pitiful and helpless second-realm monk, solve it?

It's just like I want to die!

PS: It's the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass!
