Realizing that his cultivation speed was too slow, Ren Xiaoyao was anxious, and his cultivation became even harder, often cultivating all night, but Ren Xiaoyao's qualifications were mediocre, and he didn't have a spirit stone to buy a spirit pill, although he cultivated hard, his progress was still slow. The wooden shopkeeper saw it in his eyes, in addition to expressing his appreciation for Ren Xiaoyao's hard work, all that was left was a sigh. The wooden shopkeeper was not optimistic about Ren Xiaoyao's future of cultivating immortals, but he couldn't bear to hit Ren Xiaoyao in person, so he could only give Ren Xiaoyao as much guidance as he could.

"Although your fire melting technique is huge, the requirements for divine thoughts in the fusion process are too high, and many times you may not be able to use it when fighting with people. That's why I suggest that you practice the fireball separation technique first, and then come and practice the fire melting technique when the time comes. After watching Ren Xiaoyao perform the fireball separation technique and the fireball fusion technique, the wooden shopkeeper thought about it for a while and gave a pertinent construction.

"I think so too, this fireball separation technique can be used as a move against the enemy in peacetime, and the fire melting technique is difficult to cast but also very powerful, and can be used as a killer weapon. Ren Xiaoyao put away the fireball technique and said lightly.

After Ren Xiaoyao practiced to resist fire, his comprehension of fire-based spells deepened, and under the non-stop cultivation day and night, he successfully developed the fireball separation technique and the fire melting technique, and the name of the new spell was also chosen by Ren Xiaoyao himself. Although these are just some small tricks in the use of spells, Ren Xiaoyao still carefully chose a name for them, as if he had developed a spell himself, which was very fulfilling.

Suddenly, the wooden shopkeeper moved, took out a paper talisman from the storage bag, and after Shen Nian sensed it, the paper talisman spontaneously combusted without wind and turned into ashes.

"This dead girl, it's not good to stay in the sect to cultivate, and she wants to come out to play, but it's a good thing to come out. The wooden shopkeeper scolded with a smile, and after his expression changed, he showed a kind face.

"Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" asked Ren Xiaoyao casually.

From the interaction with the wooden shopkeeper, Ren Xiaoyao learned that this Kaiyun Sect is just a declining third-rate sect of cultivating immortals, and the wooden shopkeeper opened this fang market in this misty mountain is owned by the sect on the surface, but in fact, the wooden shopkeeper opened it privately by himself by taking advantage of the little majesty left in the sect. And among the sect of the wooden shopkeeper, there is only one fifteen or sixteen-year-old granddaughter left, the only relative, and Ren Xiaoyao blew up the house on the day he slept in his granddaughter's room. Sometimes, Ren Xiaoyao can still hear the wooden shopkeeper nagging about how naughty his granddaughter is, although Ren Xiaoyao doesn't want to listen to it, but he has to listen, and he has to pretend to like it like to listen to it, who called Ren Xiaoyao still counting on this wooden shopkeeper to guide him to practice.

"It's nothing, my granddaughter is coming to me. That's all for today's guidance, you can go back first. I'm going to clean my granddaughter's room, lest she find out that she has slept in her room, she is a person who loves cleanliness, and if she finds out that you have slept in her room, I will not be able to save you. After speaking, the wooden shopkeeper glanced at Ren Xiaoyao meaningfully, then turned around and walked away.

Recalling the look in the wooden shopkeeper's eyes when he was leaving, Ren Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, and he didn't care. Ren Xiaoyao is a relatively open-minded person, and thinks that it is a very ordinary person to sleep alone for a few nights in a bed that a girl has slept in. However, Ren Xiaoyao also knows that some ideas in this world are actually very conservative, just like the difference between men and women in feudal society.

Ren Xiaoyao knew that although the granddaughter of this wooden shopkeeper was only sixteen years old, she was a high-level cultivator of the seventh order of qi refining. For a monk of this level, Ren Xiaoyao can't afford to provoke him. But the so-called can't be provoked and can't hide, as long as Ren Xiaoyao and the wooden shopkeeper don't say it, no one will know about Ren Xiaoyao's "indecent" girl's bed.

Five days later, Ren Xiaoyao was looking at the store as usual, boasting about the few products in the store to the only customer in the store who was a seventh-order Qi refiner, until this guest was told by Ren Xiaoyao that he had bought a few things before leaving with a drop of blood in his heart. Watching the guests leave, Ren Xiaoyao was happy for a while, these alchemy materials bought by the guests just now actually belong to a kind of candidate materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, and there are not many people who usually buy them, which has caused a situation of unsalable. Ren Xiaoyao has now sold these unsalable materials, and according to the agreement with the wooden shopkeeper, Ren Xiaoyao can get a commission of two percent from it, that is, two lower-grade spirit stones, how can this not make Ren Xiaoyao happy.

At this time, another guest walked in, a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes of fifteen or sixteen, who looked around curiously as soon as he entered the door.

"Man, what good do you have in this store?"

Looking at this young man with clear eyebrows, Ren Xiaoyao came forward with a smile and introduced: "I don't know what the little brother wants to buy, whether it is a elixir or an alchemy material, as long as it can be bought in other stores in this Misty Mountain, the small store has it, and the quality is better, but some of the materials unique to the small shop are not available in other stores." ”

When Ren Xiaoyao said this, the guest's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a smile, and then asked, "Then if I want to buy Tsukidan, I don't know if your store has it?"

"The day before yesterday, there were a few new ones, but they were all sold out, and the only remaining one was also eaten by our wooden shopkeeper. Ren Xiaoyao said honestly.

"Really? There's Tsukidan. The young man asked with a look of disbelief and nervousness. Originally, this young man just asked casually, originally to tease Ren Xiaoyao, but he didn't expect Ren Xiaoyao's sincere face to seem to be true, which made this young man believe it a little.

"If the little brother doesn't believe it, just ask us the wooden shopkeeper. Ren Xiaoyao still replied very sincerely.

"Alright, call your shopkeeper out, and I'll ask. The young man was even more uncertain when Ren Xiaoyao said this, so he asked Ren Xiaoyao to call the shopkeeper to ask him personally. And Ren Xiaoyao also honestly went to the back of the house to call the wooden shopkeeper, leaving only the young man alone in the store.

"It's impossible, isn't it? This Qi refining cultivator dreamed of getting the Tsukidan, and Grandpa actually sells it? If Grandpa really has Tsukidan, then there is hope for the foundation building, which is great. No, why did this shopkeeper leave me alone in the store, so that he wasn't afraid of me stealing things? Damn, it turned out that he had seen it early in the morning. As soon as the young man figured it out, there was a burst of laughter and scolding from the wooden shopkeeper in the inner room.

"Okay, you ghost girl, you don't come to say hello to grandpa when you come, and let grandpa come to see you in person, what a big score!"

It turned out that Ren Xiaoyao saw this young man at the first glance, and he saw that this was a woman dressed as a man, combined with the description of the wooden shopkeeper and the personality of the woman after that, Ren Xiaoyao concluded that she was the granddaughter of the wooden shopkeeper, Mu Lingqing. Later, this Mu Lingqing pretended to act, and Ren Xiaoyao didn't debunk it, but just cooperated with it.

"Grandpa, Lingqing misses you so much!" "Since it was exposed, Mu Lingqing didn't need to pretend to go down, and directly stepped forward to hug the wooden shopkeeper and sprinkled it.

"I also said that I miss my grandfather, and said that it would take three days to arrive, but it only took five days to arrive, you have no conscience, do you want to worry about the death of your grandfather? Ah, you ghost girl, grandpa only has a few beards, you still pull it!" The wooden shopkeeper was pulled by Mu Lingqing's beard, and he glanced at Mu Lingqing in pain, and he couldn't say the reproach he originally thought of.

"I also want to come early, but I found a few very beautiful scenery along the way, and this look will delay time, and now I haven't arrived safely at my grandfather's side, grandpa, you don't have to worry. Besides, with my current strength of the seventh order of qi refining, ordinary immortal cultivators can't beat me!" Speaking of his own strength, Mu Lingqing looked confident.

"There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, Lingqing, you can't underestimate the monks in this world. Don't say that you and I are just small Qi refining cultivators, even if he builds a foundation and knots Dan every day, he is still much stronger than us. Self-confidence is a good thing, but arrogance is the one who suffers in the end. The wooden shopkeeper was afraid that his granddaughter would be too arrogant, so he said earnestly.

"I know grandpa, I myself am not a genius of the Heavenly Spirit Root, and I don't have any background and opportunity, I know the importance of it, and I won't underestimate the monks of the world. Mu Lingqing looked at the wooden shopkeeper with a stern face, and his naughty appearance was also a little restrained.

"By the way, this is your new guy in the store? My grandfather didn't deduct your salary, right?" When Mu Lingqing talked about Ren Xiaoyao, he was still asking the wooden shopkeeper at first, but in a blink of an eye, he asked directly about Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao was speechless for a while, and it was really difficult to answer. In the ten months that Ren Xiaoyao was the second junior in this store, he was really taken the opportunity by the wooden shopkeeper to deduct a total of three lower-grade spirit stones, but the benefits that Ren Xiaoyao got from selling things in the store were far more than three lower-grade spirit stones. The most important thing is that in the current situation, it is difficult to tell the truth or falsehood.

"You ghost girl, is your grandfather that kind of person?" scolded the old shopkeeper with a red face.

"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing, it seems that grandpa, you really deducted his salary. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao didn't answer, Mu Lingqing realized something and said with certainty.

"The shopkeeper did deduct my salary several times, but that was all in the next mistake, caused losses to the store to deduct, in the next is also convinced, usually the shopkeeper is very good in the next, in the next grateful. Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly said, this Mu Lingqing said in front of himself that the wooden shopkeeper was not good, if he didn't clarify it and embarrassed the wooden shopkeeper, maybe he would be the one who suffered. Besides, Ren Xiaoyao didn't tell a lie, at least the wooden shopkeeper was sincerely grateful to Ren Xiaoyao for his guidance in cultivation.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Since grandpa took over this shop for three years, grandpa and Lingqing you haven't seen each other for three years, and now you are also here for the first time, many places are not familiar, grandpa will take you to go shopping, after all, you will settle here in the future, in addition, at noon we go to eat, do not eat secular food, eat spiritual food. Thinking that since the death of his son and daughter-in-law, it was the first time that he had been separated from his granddaughter for so long, the wooden shopkeeper couldn't help but choke up a little, but he couldn't bear to let Mu Lingqing find out, and suppressed this sudden sad longing with the distress of spending the spirit stone.

"Grandpa, I don't practice well in the sect, and I secretly came here, aren't you angry?" Mu Lingqing felt the change in the feelings of the wooden shopkeeper, and also asked with some emotion.

"Grandpa asked you to stay in the sect, and he also wanted to use the power of the sect to protect you, and now that you are not safe to stay in the sect, it is better to come out. You are grandpa's heart, no one can bully you, if you don't like the young sect master, no one can force you. Now that the sect can't go back, you will follow your grandfather in the future, the world is big, and there is always a place for us. Besides, I bought out this shop from the sect, that is, mine, and as long as we run it well in the future, it can still support our cultivation. The wooden shopkeeper hugged Mu Lingqing and said with a look of pity.

It turned out that the son and daughter-in-law of the wooden shopkeeper fell unexpectedly when Mu Lingqing was a child, and the wooden shopkeeper brought Mu Lingqing up with one hand, and he had a very deep affection for him. In order to have spirit stones to support Mu Lingqing's cultivation, the wooden shopkeeper tried his best to earn spirit stones, and later an unexpected opportunity actually allowed him to buy this shop from the sect at a very low cost. As long as you pay some symbolic shop rent, you can continue to enjoy the protection of the sect, and the spirit stones earned by the shop are far greater than what you could earn before.

In order to let his granddaughter have more resources for cultivating immortals, and in order for her granddaughter to be able to build a foundation one day, the wooden shopkeeper had to leave her granddaughter, leave the sect alone, and come to this misty mountain to run this alchemy pavilion. And Mu Lingqing also knows her grandfather's hard work, and she is also very hard cultivating, but she is a little girl who has changed in eighteen years of age, and she was still childish three years ago, but now she is beautiful and compelling. At this time, the favor of the young sect master of the Kering Sect was introduced, and he pursued it hard. Mu Lingqing devoted himself to cultivation, and at the same time, he couldn't get used to the young sect master's uncompetitive demeanor, and disdained it.

This young sect master couldn't pursue it hard, so he became forced to force each other, and in the end, he even used his hands and feet, but he didn't move his true character because of his face. With the strength of the young sect master's ninth-order qi refining, Mu Lingqing couldn't beat it, and he was afraid that the young sect master would really take some bad actions against him, so he secretly left the sect and looked for her grandfather.

"Grandpa, you're so nice. Mu Lingqing was moved by the words of the wooden shopkeeper, and she had not seen her grandfather for three years, so she also missed it tightly, listened to the words of the wooden shopkeeper, threw herself into the arms of the wooden shopkeeper, hugged the wooden shopkeeper tightly, and cried quietly.

"Alas, they have grown into big girls, and they are still crying and crying like this, and they are not afraid of other people's jokes. The wooden shopkeeper blinked, blinked back the tears that were about to flow out, brushed away Mu Lingqing's tears, and said softly.

At this time, Mu Lingqing noticed that there was an outsider Ren Xiaoyao next to him, who was there with an embarrassed face and didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Mu Lingqing's face turned red, and he left from the arms of the wooden shopkeeper, and hurriedly said some other topics to get rid of this embarrassing situation.

In this way, there was one more person in the Alchemy Pavilion of the Kaiyun Sect, Mu Lingqing.
