Chapter 491: Flower Petals
The barbecue banquet didn't end until late at night, and after Lu Mo ordered a few monks to patrol on duty, he took Xu Xiang to Qin Wen's tent, Qin Wen just wanted to rest, and when he saw the two, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Do you two have something to do here?"
Lu Mo looked at Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang said at this time: "Family master, I discussed with Steward Lu just now, I will live in that small tent to the east of you for the past two nights, I will cover the entire tent with my divine sense, and if there is any abnormal movement, I will warn in time." ”
Qin Wen said with some puzzlement at this time: "There are already patrolling monks on duty outside, are you too careful in doing this, and besides, there are not often high-level monks here," Speaking of this, Qin Wen immediately realized that it was Shangguan Peng who they were guarding against, so he hesitated for a moment and continued: "Although I was attacked and killed by Shangguan Peng last time, this time Su Ruo's camp is not far away, I think Shangguan Peng should have some scruples." ”
Lu Mo shook his head and said: "Today, when we were having dinner, I could see that that kid had bad intentions towards Danshi, among all our current monks, Xu Xiang can barely be his opponent, so we have to guard against it, after all, Miss Su is only a Xuanshi realm monk, Shangguan Peng is easy to avoid her attack on you." ”
Qin Wen remembered that he had fallen into the spiritual energy whirlpool under the cliff back then, if it hadn't been for the drop of divine blood obtained in the Exorcism Gorge, maybe he would have been twisted into a pile of meat by the whirlpool, and he didn't know where he had thrown it, so he nodded slightly and agreed to the arrangement of Lu Mo and Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang and Lu Mo glanced at each other and said goodbye to the tent, but when they were about to go out, Xu Xiang turned around and said meaningfully: "Family master, my divine sense is only limited to the periphery of your tent, don't worry." Definitely won't probe the situation inside, even if Miss Su comes, you don't have any scruples. ”
Qin Wen was stunned, opened his mouth and didn't know how to make it clear that the relationship between himself and Su Ruo had not reached the level they thought, Lu Mo helped him close the curtain of the camp with a slightly weird smile, and Qin Wen saw that they didn't give him the slightest chance to explain. couldn't help laughing and scolding, and crossed his knees in the camp tent to breathe.
At this time, a faint candlelight in Shangguan Peng's tent lit up, looking at the deserted tent around, Shangguan Peng felt that he was always holding a breath in his heart, and after walking back and forth for two steps, he decided to kill Qin Wen tonight to avoid having too many dreams at night.
He knew Qin Wen's camp tent, and it was very easy for the monks of Shangguan Peng to sneak into the camp tent and kill a Xuanshi monk. However, as soon as he probed his divine sense into the vicinity of Qin Wen's tent, he immediately discovered that there was also a monk's divine consciousness shrouded in the entire tent.
Shangguan Peng's heart immediately thought of the monk who was arguing with him today, he immediately calmed down, he was two levels higher than the monk named Xu Xiang, even if Xu Xiang used this method to cover Qin Wen's entire tent, Shangguan Peng could easily enter the tent and kill Qin Wen.
But this is bound to alarm Xu Xiang, in case Xu Xiang makes a warning, Su Ruo will definitely know. When the time came, he rushed out of Qin Wen's tent, and Qin Wen died in the tent. It is impossible for him to save his image in Su Ruo's heart, and now it seems that he has to endure it again, and he can only wait for a suitable opportunity to kill Qin Wen, and he can't let Su Ruo find out.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Peng calmly sat in the tent and poured himself a glass of water. While drinking water, he calculated, this time Su Ruo brought himself here for Tan Lian, and he happened to meet Qin Wen here, Qin Wen is a Dan master who can refine Tan Lian, he knows, of course, Qin Wen uses Tan Lian to refine Yan Dan for Su Ruo. This Shangguan Peng also understands in his heart.
That is to say, during the period between picking the Tan Lian and refining the Dingyan Pill, Su Ruohui has always been near Qin Wen, so he will not have the time to do it, and when the Dingyan Pill is released, they should be separated, and Qin Wen is now settling in the Expulsion City, which he has already figured out.
As long as Su Ruo, who got the Dingyan Pill, can be coaxed back to Yuqing Courtyard first, and then she will come out to the city of expulsion and kill Qin Wen directly, this is the safest way, even if Su Ruo goes to the city of expulsion to find Qin Wen, when she learns of Qin Wen's death, she will gradually fade her feelings about Qin Wen after a few years.
After making up his mind, Shangguan Peng casually extinguished the candle flame, lay on his back on the felt below, looked at the top of the tent with cold eyes, and said secretly: "Boy, I will let you be proud for two more days, and when you and Su Ruo are separated, your death will come." ”
In order to wait for Tan Lian's maturity, Qin Wen and they have been living here for about ten days, of course, Su Ruo and Shangguan Peng have not left, and Shangguan Peng, who has made up his mind, did not show too much dissatisfaction with the contact between Qin Wen and Su Ruo, but every time he saw Qin Wen and Su Ruo go in and out, Shangguan Peng's hatred for Qin Wen deepened.
Finally waited for the day when Tan Lian matured, Qin Wen and Lu Mo took Su Ruo and Xu Xiang into the formation, and before they reached the top of the mountain, they faintly smelled a strange fragrance, and the four of them couldn't help but be shocked, and then they sped up and flew to the top of the mountain.
As soon as he stepped on the top of the mountain, Qin Wen saw at a glance the cyan epiphany that was still tightly wrapped yesterday, and today it has bloomed pink flowers, each petal has a faint aura luster, and the green lotus leaves are set off under the petals and gently swaying with the breeze.
Su Ruo couldn't help but exclaim: "The flowers of this epiphany are so beautiful, it's a pity to pick them now." ”
Qin Wen shook his head and said: "The beauty of the epiphany is the most ephemeral, if we don't pick it now, the petals will wither by tonight, and half of the medicinal effect will be lost, and it will only bloom again after waiting for another thousand years." ”
Su Ruo had to say regretfully: "So that's the case, then how to pick it now? Isn't it that the whole flower is picked together, by the way, after picking, will this epiphany die?"
Qin Wen took out the wooden box where the elixir was stored from his storage bag, and gently walked to Tan Lian's side and said: "Picking Tan Lian is mainly its petals, you don't need to pick off the whole flower, just take off the petals one by one, in this way, it will not do any harm to Tan Lian itself, and after a thousand years, it will naturally bloom." ”
"And the lotus pod inside it will also mature after 10,000 years, and the lotus seeds picked at that time are also a rare elixir, but in comparison, lotus seeds are much easier to store than flower petals, so in some high-level elixir shops, you can buy lotus seeds with complete medicinal effects, and you may not be able to buy fresh epiphany petals. ”
As he spoke, Qin Wen gently held up the petals with his own vitality, and with the gentle movement of his fingers, the petals fell softly in the wooden box, and after all the petals fell, revealing the crystal lotus canopy inside, Qin Wen closed the wooden box and said to Lu Mo: "Don't remove this magic circle for the time being, you can pick the epiphany petals again after a thousand years, and maybe there is hope to get the lotus seeds of this epiphany in the future." ”
Lu Mo nodded and agreed, in order to ensure the medicinal effect of the Epiphany petals, the four of them hurriedly walked out of the magic circle and returned to the camp tent.
Lu Mo went out to arrange other things at this time, Xu Xiang also walked out of the tent and guarded at the door, so as not to collide with Qin Wen by a monk, leaving only Qin Wen who was dedicated to refining pills and Su Ruo with curiosity were left in the tent, Su Ruo looked at Qin Wen's skillful movements, and showed a surprised look on his face.
She knew that Qin Wen could refine the pill beyond the level, but the pill she refined at that time was within the Xuan level, but now it was a Xuan-level monk refining the spirit level pill, Su Ruo's master was also relatively proficient in refining the pill, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, Su Ruo also understood that even if her master wanted to transcend this realm of alchemy, it was impossible to do it.
Three days later, the pill was completed, and a strange fragrance filled the entire camp, Qin Wen casually removed the formation, and then opened the Dan furnace, ten round spirit rank pills appeared inside, and two jade bottles were taken out, and Qin Wen divided the number of twenty-eight into two jade bottles.
handed the jade bottle containing eight pills to Su Ruodao next to him: "I'll just leave two pills, you can take one of these eight pills back and take one for yourself, and the other seven can be given away." ”
Su Ruo was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "I can't ask for so much, in fact, you can give me two, and I'll bring one to the master when I go back, it's too precious." ”
Qin Wen shook his head and said: "My house is full of male monks, it's useless to keep these pills in your hands, there are more female cultivators in your sect, and you can also share them with senior sisters and sisters who are familiar with you when you bring them back." Actually, I didn't need to keep one, but since you took the Dingyan Pill, I also wanted to take one myself. ”
"In case after a few hundred years, you are still as beautiful as you are now, and then I will become an old man, and you will not look down on me when we travel together. ”
Listening to Qin Wen's quipping words, Su Ruo's face couldn't help but turn red, and after a long time, he said a little coquettishly: "It's better for you to become an old man, so as not to provoke other female monks with a flamboyant tongue." ”
At this time, Qin Wen put the jade bottle of eight pills in Su Ruo's hand and said, "Let's not shirk between each other anymore, I'm still waiting for you to help me repair the Yanlong Spear, these pills are even the Xie Yi I gave you." ”
After Su Ruo took the jade bottle, he groaned a little and said, "Okay, I'll let my cousin go back first, and then I'll follow you to the City of Expulsion for a while." (To be continued......)
