Chapter 21: Tranquility
It took about half an hour for the wife to heat up the meal.
Two dishes and one soup, as well as two bowls of spiritual rice, are neatly arranged on the table.
Zhao Qing cleaned up a little and served the table to start the meal, no longer fiddling with his new Dan stove.
The spiritual rice bought in the fang market tastes softer and glutinous than that in the stove house, which is also inseparable from Wang Shuyue's excellent craftsmanship.
The vegetables are burned with color and fragrance, the lines on the emerald green leaves are vaguely visible, the little oil flowers reflect the evening sun through the window, and the unique fragrance of vegetable oil permeates the small bedroom, which attracts people's appetite.
Especially the rabbit meat, not to mention the tender and juicy, but also with the special aroma of medicinal herbs, stewed in a casserole, the complex medicinal aroma fills the nose.
Zhao Qing took two sips, the juice burst in his mouth, and the aftertaste was endless. Supplemented by the egg drop soup just served by his wife, the wisps of egg drop mixed with the bean shreds into the throat, do not feel greasy at all.
"The egg soup is well done. Lingmi can be steamed in a bamboo tube, and cinnamon can be added to the rabbit meat, which should have a better effect. The old chef Zhao Qing commented slightly and gave clear instructions.
The girl looked at him with her cheeks back, smiled and did not speak.
Looking at his wife's cunning eyes, Zhao Qing stopped speaking, picked up the bowl and continued to eat.
Wang Shuyue's cooking is the same as her people, very exquisite, far from being comparable to the big pot dishes in the stove room.
But Zhao Qing still has to say two sentences to show the family throne.
The beauty is on the side, and Zhao Qing sighs slightly.
Having a home and having food to eat is not the pursuit of ordinary people's lives?
The ancients said that the color appetite is also the same.
If Shouyun Mountain can calm down, it is good to go back to the stove room to be a handyman for a lifetime, accompanied by red faces, bitter wine and distant mountains, enough to comfort the rest of your life.
People in the world have been running around for decades, and all they want is a corner of peace.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Qing lay on the bed, enjoying the pinching and massage brought by the soft little hands, and realized the peace of this early summer evening.
β¦β¦
At night, the alley was silent, and most of the houses were lit with candles, and one of them was extremely lit, and the shadow of the window lattice was hit on the ground by the firelight, and the fire swayed.
Inside the house, Zhao Qing concentrated on feeling the changes in the Dan furnace.
This was the first time he had tried to refine multiple pills at once, and he had higher requirements for the control of spiritual energy.
The blue-yellow Dan furnace is simple, and the furnace body is outlined with a slightly blurred pattern, which has been swallowed by the furnace fire at this moment.
"Shuyue, take the talc and white peony into the furnace!"
Zhao Qing controlled the aura to wander in the Dan furnace, and there was no time to be distracted.
The girl's pretty face was flushed by the firelight, she took out the wet handkerchief that had been prepared a long time ago, stepped forward to remove the iron pot that was upside down on the Dan stove, and carefully added the medicinal herbs......
There was no way, the Dan stove had no lid, and after many attempts, I only found an iron pot at home that could seal the furnace mouth tightly.
Zhao Qing sat in front of the Dan furnace and tried his best to control the fire, while his wife was busy staying aside, and wiped the sweat beads for her husband from time to time.
Half an hour later, Zhao Qing suddenly realized that he still underestimated the difficulty of a furnace of Duodan.
If you want to control the situation in the Dan furnace more subtly, the control of spiritual power is too demanding.
Even if he has broken through to the middle grade Dan master now, he still feels very difficult, and he can only forcibly rely on his skills to become a Dan one by one, and he can't do three at the same time.
This already involved the initial use of divine consciousness, which could only be barely achieved in the late stage of qi refining.
As the aura in his body continued to be consumed, and the time passed for a few sticks of incense, the edge of the iron pot suddenly cocked, and a mellow Qi Gathering Pill was controlled by him and fell aside.
He didn't have time to look and continued to control the situation inside the furnace.
It didn't take long for the second Qi Gathering Pill to open the iron pot again.
Until most of the spiritual energy in his body is consumed, one furnace of three pills, all successful!
It took nearly an hour, which was much more efficient than before, but it also consumed more aura and energy.
The correct refining method of a furnace of Duodan is to turn the medicinal materials into liquid at the same time, and turn them into Dan at the same time.
And Zhao Qing can only be able to turn liquid at the same time, whether he can become a pill depends on the temporary state, just now he has not done a good job, so he can only refine it one by one.
γGain Qi Gathering Pill Proficiency: 3γ
γQi Gathering Pill Proficiency: Entering the Room, Integrating (23/100)γ
As the panel emerged, Zhao Qingchang let out a sigh.
Sure enough, the accumulation of proficiency has something to do with the quantity!
He casually handed the three pills to his wife, told her to put them in the wooden box, and then began to meditate to restore his aura and prepare to refine the next furnace.
Even though he was already very tired, he was also very interested when he thought of the cost of the Qi Gathering Pill and the benefits of refining.
One furnace of Dan can earn a full four spirit stones!
If there were enough spirit stones accumulated in the future, he even planned to buy a spirit gathering array plate and spread it in the courtyard.
In this way, the cultivation and absorption of spiritual energy can also be more efficient, and the recovery from meditation will be much faster, and the operation of the green pine array will not need the support of spiritual stones.
Even though the Spirit Gathering Array is very expensive, requiring a hundred spirit stones, it is obviously very cost-effective.
Otherwise, just maintaining the long rotation of the defensive array will be a lot of consumption.

Three days later, Zhao Qing rushed to the early morning dew and went straight to the stove workshop of the sect from Nanfang.
In two days, it will be the day of rent collection in Beifang, and maybe the Phantom Rain Pavilion will also come to the door.
So he decided to go to the stove room in advance to see the situation, and if there was no problem, he was ready to move back to the small courtyard in the next two days.
However, on the forest path leading to the stove house, he heard shouts in the distance.
"Senior Brother Zhao!"
"It's Senior Brother Zhao who is back!"
Zhao Qing lowered his head and walked, a little puzzled.
Are you calling me? Doesn't it see?
When did I come back with such a high salary? But the sound seems familiar......
When he looked back, it turned out to be his little neighbors.
The newcomer of T-59 was fetching water by the stream in the distance.
"It seems that the depths of Shouyun Mountain have been completely calmed......"
Obviously, everyone has resumed work, which means that the turmoil has passed, and the stove has completely returned to normal.
Zhao Qing turned around and walked towards everyone, deciding to say hello.
"Senior Brother Zhao, long time no see!"
"Senior Brother Zhao!"
"Senior Brother Zhao has met Miao Jian in the city?"
After greeting them one by one with a smile, Zhao Qing replied, "I've seen Miao Jian, what's the matter?" Was he in town all the time? β
As soon as they heard this, everyone's eyes looked at Shen Shu in unison, and the female cultivator, who was not good at socializing, blushed like a monkey's buttocks.
"Go back, go back to Senior Brother, Brother Jian, he is in the city most of the time, and occasionally comes back to see us."
Zhao Qing looked at the eyes of the young people, and suddenly understood what the situation was.
It's not good that Miao Jian and this Shen vulgar are getting better.
He quipped, "Didn't I come back to see you?" β
"This ...... Look at me and look at them. β
The female cultivator who lived with Shen Shu smiled and leaned back together, and if she didn't pay attention, the bucket was almost washed away.
Zhao Qing waved his hand slightly and got down to business: "What's the recent situation in the mountains?" When you were fetching water, did your brother have any tasks for chopping wood? β
A male cultivator replied, "The demon beasts on the periphery of Shouyun Mountain have all been cleared. The day before yesterday, there were many senior brothers from the inner gate, and they went to the depths to set up a large array, which was able to prevent the demon beasts in the foundation building period from rushing to the periphery. β
"And he drove all those loose cultivators down the mountain with us......
"It is said that the elders in the sect have spoken, and they want to use Shouyun Mountain as a test place to assess disciples, and they will not be allowed to come to the sect in the future."
