The year of the year, the day of the month.

Xiaoman.

The T-shaped courtyard welcomed back its master.

After Zhao Qing settled everything properly, he first went to the stove room to prepare to visit Senior Brother Wang Teng.

After all, when he left, he was acquiesced by the other party, and now he should tell him when he comes back.

lest you be put in small shoes for future tasks or matters of residence.

Stove room.

The cold young man, as usual, reclined on a wooden chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The only difference is that the wooden chair has been moved under the old locust tree, after all, it is already summer.

Zhao Qing walked through the flow of people and saw the figure under the old locust tree from a distance.

After approaching, he didn't mention anything special, but went on as usual and asked about today's mission.

"Senior brother, I'm here to receive today's task."

Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes, revealing extremely gloomy eyes, and said indifferently: "What time is it now?" How did you come? ”

Zhao Qing bent down and smiled and did not speak.

After Wang Teng saw the person clearly, his expression was slightly soothed.

But his tone was still a little impatient, and he glared at Zhao Qing up and down and said, "Eighty catties, you have been eighty catties these days, make up for what you didn't fight before." ”

"Okay, disciple make up for what you didn't hit."

Zhao Qing saluted and agreed, ready to say goodbye and leave.

He knew that what the other party said was just to reflect his status as a disciple on duty, anyway, just let him know that he was back.

Zhao Qing, who has been in the stove workshop for many years, has already figured out the twists and turns.

"Wait!"

Zhao Qing paused: "What else does senior brother command?" ”

Wang Teng's two fingers tapped back and forth on the wooden chair, and he squinted at Zhao Qing: "Breakthrough?" ”

"The disciple's mood has changed a little when he enters the city this time, and he has luckily broken through to the middle stage of qi refining." Zhao Qing replied.

The cold young man sat up slowly, stretched and yawned and asked, "What month is your family, is she okay?" ”

Zhao Qingyu shook his head with a smile and saluted again.

"Alright, let's go! Come and get the quest in the future! There will be a penalty for the next time! ”

……

Zhao Qing picked up the food in the stove room and walked on the way home, puzzled.

What did Wang Teng's last sentence mean? Do I need to make up for the firewood I didn't catch before? ”

Forget it, if you don't make it up, there should be no problem.

After returning home, when he beckoned Wang Shuyue to eat together, he found that the rice in the stove room was ...... It's not that fragrant.

"Shuyue, tell me if you want to cook in the future, I'll bring vegetables back from the kitchen."

The girl looked up, the corners of her mouth still stained with rice grains, and her big eyes were full of confusion to look at her husband.

She was stunned for a long time before she smiled and said, "That husband has to come back with vegetables when he is free, Shuyue wants to cook for her husband at any time." ”

Meal.

Zhao Qing plugged in the courtyard door and took out the array plate of the Green Pine Array from the storage bag.

On the square array disk, the pattern notches are staggered and horizontal, and there is a groove in the center, which can be activated by placing spirit stones.

"Shuyue, you follow me to the door, and after I go out, you will put this spirit stone into the groove of the array disk."

He roughly explained how to use the array disk, and then opened the courtyard gate and went out into the street.

At this time, everyone is working, and the door is empty.

"I'm done!"

The crisp voice of the delicate wife came.

Zhao Qing stepped forward and pushed the door directly, but found that he was blocked two feet outside the door and could no longer move forward.

It's a strange feeling, as if there is a wall in front of you, and you can even reach out and touch the invisible barrier formed by the aura.

Is this the defensive array?

Zhao Qing looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one, he pinched a red practice technique in his hand, and the power of red practice after the proficiency breakthrough was much stronger than before.

With the stimulation of the aura, a long rope of fire rose from his palm and instantly spread to the courtyard wall.

But it still disappeared two feet outside the wall.

Zhao Qing snorted and slowly retreated, the feedback of spiritual power was like hitting his head on an iron pot, and there were even bursts of throbbing pain in the meridians.

After half a pillar of incense, Zhao Qing walked around his house and made sure that the courtyard had been completely shrouded by the formation.

Then, he shouted out to Wang Shuyue to put away the array plate and push the door in.

Green Pine Formation!

Zhao Qing plugged in the courtyard door and took over the array plate in his wife's hand, feeling that the safety factor had been greatly improved.

"With this array in the future, general danger should not threaten us."

Wang Shuyue had already understood the specific situation, and she nodded vigorously at this moment, and she could see through the corners of her crescent-like eyes that she was also very excited.

Subsequently, Zhao Qing took out the remaining spirit stones and estimated the amount.

"It didn't consume so quickly at first, and it suddenly crushed after a while." The wife described on the side.

Zhao Qing knew it in his heart.

It should be his own attack that caused the aura consumed by the array disk to increase......

"Take the array disk to the bedroom, replace the spirit stone with a new one, you observe, how long it will take for a spirit stone to be completely shattered."

Zhao Qing arranged for his wife to record the amount of spirit stones used in the array, and he took the utensils and went up the mountain.

The monsters have been thoroughly cleaned up, and life in the stove room has returned to normal, and there seems to be no change.

But for Zhao Qing, it was completely different.

Today he does not chop wood, but practice axes!

……

It's just that after the practice, you need to bring the injured trees back to the stove so that they can be comforted.

In summer, Shouyun Mountain is not hot, and the leafy trees block most of the sunlight, and it even feels a little more refreshing than the bottom of the mountain.

Zhao Qing went straight to the forest area he often visited.

There was blood all over the way, and he almost stepped on some special traps.

These are all traces left after the demon hunt.

Looking at Shouyun Mountain, which was full of messes, Zhao Qing was still a little worried in his heart, had the peripheral demon beasts really cleaned up?

He looked at the scattered handymen in the distance, and then looked up at the few wooden houses that had been improvised halfway up the mountainside, where the senior brother of the inner gate was on duty.

It wasn't until he came to the area where he often worked and didn't find anything unusual that he felt a lot more at ease.

He inquired in the kitchen when he was getting his meal, and it was just as he had guessed.

The sect arranged for three inner brothers to be stationed in Shouyun Mountain, one is to isolate the scattered cultivation up the mountain, and the other is to prevent the demon beasts in the depths of Shouyun Mountain from escaping.

It is said that it has a certain relationship with the arrangement of the sect's trials in the future.

After breaking through the fourth layer of Qi refining, his originally static cultivation also began to make progress.

The aura enters the dragon's spine from the dantian, and it only needs to break through the three levels step by step, and you can practice all the way to the sixth layer of qi refining, and there is no hindrance.

And the magic has also begun to accumulate progress, although there is no weapon that can be used, but the axe in the hand is completely enough to cut down the tree and practice first.

At this moment, Zhao Qing took out the axe, looked at a big tree three zhang away, and used his aura to find that familiar feeling......

Then he rounded his arms.

"Whoosh!"

The axe spun and flew out rapidly, and the sharp blade carried a huge amount of power, as if it could cut through everything, and it was embedded in more than half of the tree trunk.

After only staying for a moment, he recoiled back with the pull of the aura.

However, Zhao Qing avoided it sideways in time and didn't dare to pick it up with his hands.

The 'Flying Across the River' in "Splitting the Mountain" is like this, paying attention to attacking and killing, and I am invincible.
