Chapter 45: Alliances
"But don't worry, my brother has me to take care of him, and you and I just need to stick to unity when it's critical. His words were full of sincerity.
Lin Qingxuan also thought carefully in his heart, among the few people, he was the only one with a clear background and could intersect. And the two encounter similarities, it is inevitable that there will be some resonance.
Lin Qingxuan raised his head, glanced at him, tapped his fingers on the table, and slowly spoke: "Duan Daoyou only needs to show some sincerity, I am willing to form an alliance." ”
"This ,......"
Lin Qingxuan saw that he was a little embarrassed, and smiled in his heart, thinking that he was afraid that he would not be wrong.
"Daoist friends only need to give the next promise, and I don't ask for anything else. ”
"Oh, good. Duan Daoyou suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly, obviously thinking about her intentions.
"Fellow Daoist, I can cultivate to swear, after you and I form an alliance, I will never make a move against you, if I violate the oath, I will be asked to cultivate for the rest of my life. His words were so strong that he swore a poisonous oath that put her at ease.
"Okay, since Duan Daoyou is so sure, I will also express my position. As long as Duan Daoyou keeps his promise, I am willing to advance and retreat with you. As for the little paragraph, as an older sister, she should take care of one or two. ”
Duan Daoyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she was so crisp.
"Duan Mou is twenty-nine this year, a few years older than you, if Jiang Daoyou doesn't dislike it, how about even taking Duan Yi and our brother and sister together? He said with a smile on his face.
Brother and sister? Since she was a child, she has been like a sister to Ning Frost and Sister Chun Tao. But now that they're probably gone, it's inevitable to think that this is an injury.
And the two brothers of the Duan family are also close to her eyes, especially Duan Yiren's little ghost is very clever, Lin Qingxuan likes it very much.
"Okay, Brother Duan. She stood up and bowed her hand to him, acknowledging the relationship.
"Little Sister Jiang. ”
Saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Duan Hong told her a lot about other people, so that Lin Qingxuan had a deeper understanding of the preferences, methods, and details of the other people.
After a few rooster crows, everyone in the store gets up and heads to their workstations, ready to start the day.
Lin Qingxuan walked out of the room, and there were already several people. The one who carries the water and the one who wipes the table wipes the table, even the nominal shopkeeper Yu Old Man is lying on the counter.
I really don't understand why they are so keen on doing business when they are obviously a group of hungry wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones.
She scratched her head and went into the kitchen to see what the ingredients were for the day.
A whole freshly slaughtered spirit deer, two pheasants, and seven or eight live fish swam around in a water tank. As for the fruits and vegetables, there is also a basket, but they are all mushrooms and wild vegetables, but there are few green leaves, maybe the weather is getting colder and colder.
Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, the ingredients of the dishes in the store are all freshly taken from this mountain early in the morning. Usually the muscular man and the bearded man take turns to do it with a small section, and there is no way to let the three of them cultivate the lowest.
Interestingly, at the beginning, the two of them didn't deal with the live creatures they caught, and they threw them directly to Lin Qingxuan, and their attitude was not very friendly.
Lin Qingxuan joined the gang and took over the kitchen, so he naturally knew that this was to give her a dismount.
If you dare to give me a face, then look at how big your face is. She had no choice but to punish the two of them with a little trickery, and a little medicine powder made their faces swollen into a big pig's head, and it took several days to disappear, to see if they dared to give me a face.
Until the two of them are packed up in obedience, although it may only seem on the surface. But what she did was done with all her heart, and it also made everyone understand that she was not something that could be provoked at will.
Lin Qingxuan took a cursory look at the ingredients, they were quite rich, and he had already set today's recipe in his heart.
In this weather, it is best to use venison to braise and grill, and then mix some side dishes with mushrooms to relieve greasy, just enough to match together.
As for the chicken and fish, it is also very convenient, you can make it to order.
Lin Qingxuan simply cleaned up the ingredients, and she also came out of the kitchen.
In fact, their small shop is located in the middle of nowhere, and it would be good to have a customer every two or three days, and the fat sheep may only be encountered in half a month. Therefore, most of the ingredients in the store are eaten by themselves.
Lin Qingxuan propped up the table with his hand, supported his chin, and sat in the hall for a while.
It was so boring that she wondered whether to go back to her room and continue to study the formation or learn to draw talismans.
Out of boredom, he took out the red bird's eggs he got from the magic repair storage bag to play.
Five vermilion eggs, no different in size. It's just that the faint black lines on it are a little different, and Lin Qingxuan didn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time.
"A few Taoist friends, take a look and see if you can recognize this thing. Lin Qingxuan himself has no knowledge, but several people around him have been in the immortal cultivation world for many years, so they are naturally well-informed.
Among them, the two old guys, Old Man Yu and Qingfeng Daoren, are even more vicious, and they may be able to recognize them.
Several people took the eggs and looked at them carefully, their expressions either curious or frowning.
"Is this a bird egg?" Duan Yi held a vermilion egg and stood in the sunlight and looked at it in front of his eyes. Since forming an alliance with Duan Hong, Duan Yi has become closer and closer to her, and he is not at all angry.
"It's hard. The muscular man squeezed the egg with his hand and said.
Lin Qingxuan hurriedly snatched the egg from his hand and gave him a roll of his eyes, for fear that he would crush the egg.
However, she held the egg in her hand, and her strength was secretly used.
"Huh" Lin Qingxuan himself frowned slightly, and the strength in his hand increased by three points, but the vermilion egg was still intact.
Several people looked at her blushing face and couldn't crush the egg, and they all gathered over with interest.
The muscular man was glared at by her just now, and now he naturally has a gloating expression. The bearded man also said sourly: "Spring peach girl, you can't do it." ”
After hearing this, Lin Qingxuan's face turned red again, and he threw the egg to him.
"Here you come. ”
Then the bearded man also exerted his strength to eat, pinching, smashing, and chopping by several means, but he could not break the vermilion egg, and not even a single mark was left.
"Do you want to try it with a spell?" Duan Yi said tentatively as he watched him work so hard.
Several people also felt that they could give it a try, Lin Qingxuan took the lead, and the magic trick pinched the fingertips and two gold threads jumped out, and the two sharp cutting techniques hit the egg, and several people leaned over to take a look, and the skin was still as smooth as ever.
Everyone frowned, what the hell is this thing that is so strong.
Lin Qingxuan's cultivation is the ninth layer of qi refining, and he is still very solid. Her metallic sharpening technique is also the best at decomposition, not to mention how powerful it is, but at least it can cut gold and jade.
"His grandmother's, I don't believe it, and I can't smash your little ball. The bearded man did not admit defeat with a face, and swept away the vermilion egg with a string of spells, and the earth and stones tumbled, turning the table over, and making it dusty.
Several people glared at him in unison, and they all sneered in their hearts.
This kind of attack is neither accurate nor powerful, and it is far worse than Lin Qingxuan. When the dust cleared, as expected, the vermilion egg was still intact.
The bearded man looked pale and embarrassed.
Duan Hong glared at him again, and then stepped forward to take the egg, only to see a flame coming out of his palm, and the burning vermilion egg was crackling.
The temperature of the flame in their hands rose higher and higher, and even the few of them felt a thick burning sensation. It seems that Brother Duan's fire spirit root is very good, Lin Qingxuan looked at the fire in his hand and whispered to himself.
But when the flame is extinguished, the vermilion egg is brighter except for the luster, and the skin still has not changed. Several people tried them one by one, and even Shopkeeper Yu used several of them, but the results were not different.
"It seems that this is not a product of the Qi Refining Realm! Old man Yu listlessly pulled the abacus and guessed.
Several people nodded silently when they heard this, and the perfection of qi refining could not be broken in the slightest, and it was not a mortal thing.
However, the Qingfeng Dao man who had been silent on the side played with the egg in his hand at this time, and slowly spoke: "I also think that this thing must come from a high-level demon beast, or this demon beast has a very high bloodline." But I don't look like an egg, it's like an egg. ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang overturned Old Man Yu's conjecture, and provoked a few people to discuss it word by word, but after half an hour, a few people did not have a result, whether it was an egg or an egg.
Lin Qingxuan only kept one of the last five eggs, and the remaining four were given to Xiao Duanzi, who made him so happy that he called her sister.
When there is no business in the store, several people will gather in the hall like this to exchange cultivation experiences and discuss miscellaneous anecdotes.
In particular, Qingfeng Dao Leader and Yu Shopkeeper have been cultivating for many years, and they have already understood the doubts and difficulties of this realm. From time to time, I pointed out a few people, and I also made their cultivation a little more refined.
The mountain wind is deceiving, the moon is hidden and the stars are retreating, and the small shop that has been placing orders for more than half a month has finally waited for the first batch of customers.
Lin Qingxuan looked at the seven or eight big men who came in bustlingly, they should all have come down from the mountain to hunt demons, and all of them were not mediocre hands, and their cultivation was all at the eighth or ninth level of qi refining.
The little duan and the bearded man hurriedly greeted each other, and the wine and meat were served, and the store became lively.
Lin Qingxuan glanced at the shopkeeper, the store had not done "business" for a long time. Now that she has begun to use the spirit stones she has prepared for her cultivation, although she is worth a lot of money, she can't wait to sit and eat the empty mountain, and she can't help but have an idea in her heart.
In fact, not only her, but also the other people in the store looked at a few people without a trace. I just came down from the mountain, and I'm really not afraid that they won't be fat enough.
Lin Qingxuan saw the thin shopkeeper, and slowly lit a sheepskin lamp on the counter, and his heart was suddenly happy. The other people also looked at it.
This is the code word in their store, moving the sheepskin lantern means eating all, and moving the paper lantern is open as usual.
Now that the sheepskin lantern is lit, a few people know what it means.
Old man Yu gave Lin Qingxuan a look, she understood it and went to the back kitchen to prepare. Xiao Duan and the bearded man enthusiastically poured food and wine for a few people, and their eyes were also a lot kinder. How many of them are fierce men? This is a spirit stone with white flowers!
It's bustling and bustling outside.
Lin Qingxuan also carefully prepared in the back kitchen, and finally two large plates of fragrant roast venison were ready, but they were mixed with her exclusive secret dissipation.
As long as it is inhaled from the mouth and nose, it will disperse into the meridians without a trace and slowly penetrate into the dantian.
The process is not very slow, it only takes a cup of tea. After the fusion of the dissipation is completed, the medicinal properties will attack, and the special substances in it will swallow up the aura and hinder its operation.
Imagine a monk whose aura has suffered a great loss and cannot run his aura smoothly, no matter how strong he is, is not a good lamb in front of them.
