"What gift?"

"Do you want the essence empowerment?"

Zhao Qing silently replied to Si He's thoughts, and then opened the ban on the Lingzhou compartment, placing Qing Huan's delicate body across his legs.

With the transmission of his presumptuous thoughts, there was no movement on Si He's side for the time being.

Shouyun Mountain, the sunset is dusk.

The white-haired girl leaned lightly on a dilapidated eaves, a pair of lotus arms intertwined under the mantis' head, gazing comfortably at the red glow beyond the western mountain.

At this moment, a disdainful chuckle flashed on her pretty face with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Essence empowerment?

After exchanging essences, her mind followed Zhao Qing all the time, and she naturally understood what the essence empowerment was......

Shuyue enjoyed the empowerment method very much, and Xiaoyi tried it occasionally.

Qinghuan will not waste a trace of essence.

……

After a while, Zhao Qing clenched Qing Huan's delicate ankles, and when he was about to show his might, Si He's frivolous beautiful eyes flashed in his mind.

"Why didn't you say that when you were in the mountains?"

Zhao Qing: ......

"This time and that time, it's just a tactic."

He stared for a moment and asked solemnly, "What else do you need?" ”

Si He's lips opened lightly: "After returning to the Chu State, help me find a puppet." ”

Puppet!?

What does the fox girl want the puppet to do?

The so-called puppet is an immortal object similar to the talisman formation.

It is made of strange wood and stones and various spiritual fluids using secret methods, and most of them are humanoid......

Some of the most skilled masters were even able to produce the same body as a monk.

According to Zhao Qing's understanding, it is a kind of android.

It's just that it is empty on the surface, but it needs all kinds of clever formations to maintain the operation of the aura, so the disciples of the Shattered Star Tower not only major in the formation, but also cultivate the puppet secret art.

But no matter how delicate a puppet is, it is different from a monk after all—a puppet has no sense of mind...... It needs to be controlled by the owner.

In the mundane, this kind of thing is actually a marionette, in a previous life...... Proper artificial intellectual disability.

"I'll let Zeng Nian pay attention to it, it seems to have appeared in the auction of Changshengfang before."

"What do you want a puppet to do?"

Zhao Qing's doubtful thoughts came out......

The next moment, his eyes suddenly glazed over, and a bold idea appeared in his mind!

Si He's beautiful eyes gradually showed a look of scrutiny.

chuckled, "As you think." ”

……

Zhao Qing: !!

Si He wants to control the puppet to interact with him!?

Is this appropriate?

"Wait until I ask Senior Brother Liu to see if I can buy a puppet of the Shattered Star Lineage."

He replied.

"Hmph."

The white-haired girl smiled disdainfully, and her expression returned to calm.

At the same time, Zhao Qing also sensed a wisp of her mind slightly.

Si He...... If you want to control the puppet, take a walk around the world.

He was a little puzzled: "Your Yuan Shen can't leave Shouyun Mountain, how can you control the puppet?" ”

The next breath.

A meaningful smile flashed across the pretty face in his mind.

"A wisp of my natal primordial god...... It was sent to your Mud Pill Palace a few years ago. ”

"Aether imprints the puppet spirituality, maybe I can have one more incarnation outside of Shouyun Mountain."

A puppet avatar......

Zhao Qing gradually fell silent.

Si He's wisp of natal primordial ...... He had already fused with his divine consciousness, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have directly reached the realm of the ninth level of qi cultivation at that time.

Genshin ......

Tai Ah Yin ......

Puppet......

Zhao Qing's heart couldn't help but move slightly: "Was it already in your plan?" ”

With his doubts, Si He seemed to think of something, and his eyes gradually stopped moving, and turned silent.

The woman said quietly: "I just want to ...... Go out and have a look. ”

"You and I are heart-to-heart, and skin is close to ......"

Shouyun Mountain.

Si He gradually sat up, leaning forward with a pretty face, and his eyes seemed to be staring at Zhao Qing who was far away in Liao.

"Hey......"

She sighed slightly, then her expression changed, and a chuckle flashed in her eyes.

"You're my boyfriend...... There is no perfect encounter in the world, Zhao Qing. ”

"If you think I'm taking advantage of you, just ignore the puppet's business."

"A few days ago, the Danxia Sect recruited some miscellaneous disciples, and Shouyun Mountain was a little more angry."

……

After another light sigh, Si He no longer had any thoughts.

On Shouyun Mountain, a touch of ink-colored gauze flew, swinging through the lush mountains and forests and drifting into the distance.

The little beast turned into a snow shadow and disappeared.

……

Returning to the spirit boat of the Chu State, Zhao Qing was speechless.

Si He doesn't seem to be quite right today......

Hell, I didn't say anything, huh?

Can't you ask?

It's also too sensitive......

Zhao Qing's heart was full of doubts.

He is of use to Si He, which he has long been aware of...... There is no pie in the sky for no reason.

And he had figured it out years ago.

Since you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

Aside from everything else, just a batch of three thousand years of longevity is already fragrant!

It's just that Si He is extremely lonely in Shouyun Mountain, and his mind follows him all the time, and time goes by...... There was a strange affection between the two.

So much so that now, he often quarrels with Si He or says some light words, and the other party laughs and sometimes sneers at each other.

Zhao Qing thought silently.

It used to be good, why did it suddenly overturn today?

He couldn't figure it out.

Why are you using me, I didn't say anything, why did you break the defense first?

Sure enough, you can't let a woman stay on her own for too long, and her brain will get water......

That Yin Hua trembled violently, as if it was refuting Zhao Qing's thoughts.

Si He's resentful pretty face resurfaced.

She pursed her lips lightly and whispered, "I just want to go out and see ......"

"Put the puppet down beforehand."

Zhao Qing: ???

He suddenly discovered that Si He seemed to have a serious illness.

That night on Shouyun Mountain, it was like that......

said that he wanted to give himself Tai Ah Yin, and then suddenly said forget it.

It's like that again today...... I wanted a puppet, but after a while I didn't want it again.

Is this really a talent with Shou Yuan as a talent to ride the yellow?

Be all abroad......

Zhao Qing responded: "I'll pay attention to the puppet thing." ”

"Don't be cranky, I'll see you often in the future."

The girl's eyes flickered, and Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly.

"I'm not cranky."

"I just think it'......"

Si He hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "You accompany Qinghuan first." ”

Zhao Qing was silent.

He suddenly found that since his mind blended, Si He's emotions didn't seem to be so stable......

It begins to become inscrutable, even within a few breaths...... Joy and anger coexist.

The experienced Xiao Zhao realized something in an instant.

Even a god may not be able to withstand the torment of three hundred years of claustrophobia.

Just as Zhao Qing was thinking.

Si He's laughter interrupted his thoughts.

The girl's expression changed again...... The delicate wrist supported the pretty face, and there seemed to be water waves flowing between the bright eyes: "Yes, I want to see you again these days." ”

"It's a pity you can't come...... Otherwise, your little longevity won't be able to accompany me for long. ”

She sighed softly with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Is it okay to refine you into a corpse puppet in the future?"

Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Why can't I stay with you for too long? You let me ride more, and I won't lose my longevity. ”

Hearing this, Si He's beautiful eyes bent, and he said lightly: "Serve the master well, and the master will reward you." ”

……

Zhao Qing directly ignored the training invitation sent by Si He, and instead returned his mind to the spirit boat.

He gently combed the hair of the woman in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Serve the master well, and the master will reward you." ”

Gu Qinghuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Qinghuan don't want to reward." ”

Tut......

Zhao Qing leaned sideways slightly, pillowed on Qinghuan's weak and boneless waist, and then closed his eyes.

It's still good for my family.

·

On a spring night, the light of the stars and the moon chases the flowing clouds.

A spirit boat flew over Songshanfang like an arrow from the string, and then rushed to leave the country without stopping.

Two figures flew down on it.

A man and a woman clasped their fingers tightly, resisting the wind and falling straight on the official road outside Songshan Fang.

"Husband!"

A crisp call came, Shuyue and her aunt had already received a summons from Zhao Qing, and they were greeting each other outside the door at this moment.

Hearing his wife's call, the smile on Zhao Qing's face became even bigger.

He took his wife into his arms, and then looked at his aunt.

"Have you two been at home all these days?"

Wang Shuyue shook her head slightly and looked at the tall woman standing at the door.

Zhou Xiaoyi pondered: "The day before yesterday, I went to Fangnan for a long time. ”

"The shopkeeper came once and sent the spirit stone for this month's auction of Tsukidan."

That's right......

Zhao Qing bowed slightly.

The family entered the gate of the manor and climbed the stairs.

"In the past few days in Liao, have you encountered any interesting things?" Shuyue asked with a smile.

"Hmm...... It's not an anecdote at all. ”

Zhao Qing took out half a pack of spiritual tea from the storage ring and handed it to his aunt. "Charm tea, from the purple bead of Qianhuan Prefecture."

"It can speed up the operation of the exercises, make the divine consciousness clear, and have a strong buff effect on the perception of the techniques."

The aunt's beautiful eyes moved slightly, looked at Qing Huan and asked, "But you have successfully comprehended the magic power of the bloody cloth?" ”

Gu Qinghuan shook his head with a smile.

He said softly: "There are some eyebrows, it shouldn't be too difficult for the master to help guide me these days." ”

Zhao Qing stroked his aunt's hair and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Qinghuan, we drink this tea every day in Liaoguo, and it won't be of much use to drink more." ”

"These are all left to you, to prepare for the bloody clothes assessment in the future."

Zhou Xiaoyi tapped her head.

turned to a low voice: "Don't bring it next time, let people see it and think that Zhao is stationed at home and doesn't even have tea." ”

Zhao Qing smiled helplessly.

If Auntie's bloody clothes assessment can be more certain, it is nothing.

Moreover...... He is not the only one who eats and takes.

Shu Yueming's eyes fanned, and her pretty face showed a look of expectation.

The husband went to Liao...... I'm definitely going to bring some things back with me.

Zhao Qing looked back at his wife's eyes, and then pointed to the spirit ring on Qing Huan's hand, smiling without saying a word.

The spirit hump has a certain effect on the cultivation of dantian aura, and the snow deer tendon is not much different from the effect of the spirit peach of the Changshengfang, which has some benefits for the expansion of the monk's meridians, and the clouded leopard gall can stabilize the five internal organs......

Although there are some things in this, Zeng Nian can pay attention to them and buy them...... But don't take it for nothing.

It didn't take long for Shuyue to nest in Qing Huan's arms, and her bright eyes were full of brilliance.

Before she could come back to her senses, Zhao Qing threw out another spirit ring.

"The Blood God Peak gave seven hundred thousand spirit stones."

"Xu is inseparable from Qinghuan's million contributions, and it should be a ...... for others to see"

"Or maybe it's a simple gift." Zhao Qing added.

But he knew in his heart that even if he was carrying the Qinglong Seal, his face would not be so big that the Blood God Peak would give him such a huge amount of money, which was the light of the green shadow.

700,000 spirit stones!

Wang Shuyue's eyes trembled, and she didn't check this spirit ring, but carefully put it away.

"At the beginning of the year, the 60,000 spirit stones in Songshan Fang were divided...... It has not been used yet. ”

"These spirit stones are left at home in case they are urgently needed, right?"

She whispered to herself as she turned her gaze to her aunt.

Zhao Qing shook his head lightly and said, "In the past few days, I will take you to buy some magic robes and spirit robes, at least to be able to resist the attacks of the later stage of foundation building." ”

He paused slightly.

turned to look at Shu Yue: "Lei Linggen's adaptation technique, if there is a better one in the commercial building, it will be photographed directly." ”

Wang Shuyue's eyes widened, and then she nodded slowly.

At present, my aunt has entered the stage of condensing the Dao foundation, and Qing Huan is practicing the bloody cloth exercises, but she still has not given birth to her divine sense......

She said softly, "Shuyue will practice hard these days." ”

……

Zhao Qing continued to arrange some other arrangements in the house, but did not mention that the Blood Trial would start within twenty years...... This will only make Shuyue more stressed.

Among the family of four, she was the latest to step into the Immortal Dao, and in just a few years, she had already reached the realm of the sixth layer of qi refining, which was already considered to be a rapid entry.

But for Auntie...... It seems that the qualifications are much worse.

In the following days, Zhao Qing's family began an extremely crazy procurement operation.

Shu Yue changed to a higher-quality Thunder Spirit Root Technique, and was able to cultivate to the Jindan realm, and the speed of condensing spiritual energy was also slightly improved compared to before.

As for the spiritual weapon, it was not added...... She often has a superb spirit sword around her waist.

My aunt directly bought two top-grade spiritual weapons......

A verdant long whip with a special spiritual formula, which has a three-percent increase in aura for the Water Spirit Root Monk.

This is specially prepared for the blood assessment, Zhao Qing has suffered the loss of the Immortal Sword, Luo Xianning, and naturally has to equip his aunt with all the hardware.

In addition, the aunt also ordered a top-grade spirit bow in the Bloody Clothes Building, equipped with three arrow feathers.

These two top-grade spiritual weapons alone cost seventy thousand spirit stones.

That night, Zhou Xiaoyi laughed softly in Zhao Qing's ear......

"The sixteen thousand spirit stones in the Guogong Mansion are not so easy to take."

In the year when she returned to Chu from Zhongzhou, her aunt went back to Zhou's house and brought Zhao Qing a huge sum of 16,000 spirit stones...... Speak tightly at home first.

Coupled with the tens of thousands of spirit stones given by Sun Shixuan in Lei Lingzhou, it should be able to support her and Zhao Qing to build a foundation.

It's just that now she has not yet stepped into the realm of foundation building, and her family has achieved financial freedom.

In addition to Shuyue's exercises and aunt's spiritual weapons......

Qinghuan didn't buy anything.

It's just that he symbolically took two copies of Zhuji Dan's Dan materials in the Blood Clothes Building, and said that he would study them privately.

……

In addition to these, Zhao Qing also ordered six sets of women's magic robes of different styles in the commercial building, all of which were equipped with miniature spirit arrays, which could resist the three attacks under the Jindan realm.

He himself chose a more expensive brocade robe, which could resist even the initial attack of Jin Dan.

These magic robes alone cost nearly 50,000 spirit stones.

This is an extremely extravagant expense for Zhao Qing's previous conditions.

However, now that there are abundant spirit stones, it is natural to let them exert their maximum effectiveness.

If you can use this type of defensive object, the cloak charm can be used...... It's definitely great value for money, and even better if you don't use it.

In short, it is not a loss.

It's just that Zhao Qing didn't find the Spirit Fruit Strange Grass that gave birth to divine consciousness in Zeng Nianke, so he could only wait for it to be found slowly in the future...... Or go to Qianyuan Palace to find the senior who left the smoke building to inquire about.

However, printed weapons are also extremely rare, and it is too difficult to find a suitable best or even a superb spirit seal in Songshanfang, and it can only be transferred from a commercial building belonging to other countries to Changshengfang, which takes a certain amount of time.

There is also the fourth-order spirit gathering array that Si He wants, and he has already told Zeng Nian to pay attention to it.

As for the puppet, Liu Zijing said that there would be a Shattered Star disciple on this trip to the country, and asked Zhao Qing to wait for his news of the message.

Outside Matsuyamabo, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Half a month later......

In the martial arts arena in the backyard.

Zhao Qing took out a array disk sent by Zeng Nianke.

This is a small soul purification array transferred from the Bloody Cloak Building...... It's completely different from the Spirit Gathering Circle.

The Spirit Gathering Array does not need to be urged by spirit stones, and can gather the surrounding thin spiritual energy...... for monks to practice.

The higher the level of the Spirit Gathering Array, the greater the range of spiritual energy that can be gathered, and the efficiency of cultivation is naturally higher.

The third-order spirit gathering array at home is already more than enough to support Zhao Qing's cultivation.

But now that there is a more efficient cultivation method, in the absence of a shortage of spirit stones, it is natural that we cannot turn a blind eye.

At this moment, spiritual patterns swayed on the small array disk, enveloping the surrounding three-zhang range.

Zhao Qing took out a medium-grade spirit stone and put it into it......

Visible to the naked eye, a trace of misty qi floated out from the spirit stone, which was extremely pure spiritual energy being extracted by the formation.

This is the effect of the Soul Purification Array......

Being able to purify and extract the spiritual energy in the spirit stone is an extremely luxurious means of cultivation, which is equivalent to kryptonite breathing......

Zhao Qing introduced this pure aura into the Dao Foundation, silently running the "Green Dragon Blood Codex" to perceive the efficiency of cultivation.

It was a full hour before he opened his eyes again...... There was a flash of light in it.

The medium-grade spirit stone in front of him has all turned into gray powder, and there is no trace of spiritual charm left in it.

"How's it going?"

The aunt sat in the stone pavilion and made tea, and asked softly.

"It's much purer than the aura of the third-order Spirit Gathering Array...... Meditation is at least twice as efficient as before. ”

The corners of Zhao Qing's mouth trembled slightly.

He added: "A medium-grade spirit stone was destroyed in one hour." ”

"I didn't absorb much aura...... It's all out of thin air. ”

"It's suitable for us to practice together as a family, and meditating for two hours a day is worth one day of practice in the past."

Zhou Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes trembled.

An Hour...... Spend 100 Spirit Stones!

If the Spirit Purification Array was opened for two hours a day, it would consume 70,000 spirit stones in a year......

Zhao Qing groaned slightly, but it wasn't too expensive......

The time saved, you can make money while refining your divine sense, and you can also make money with the proficiency of various techniques, in fact, it is not a loss.

He said softly: "In the long run, within ten years, you and I will have the opportunity to step into the middle stage of foundation building. ”

"Shuyue Qinghuan will step into the realm of foundation building, and it will be faster."

……
