027 Uncle and nephew
Luo Qingli's days began to become very regular.
When the store was busy, she helped Yan Chao forge and purify the spirit mine, and when she had nothing to do, she went to the woods to collect honey, or tried to hunt some first-order demon beasts, and the corpses of the demon beasts she hunted were taken to the Zhangshi Hall, so she also earned some spirit stones, and Yan Chao's debts there seemed to be almost repaid.
Every battle in the woods is an experience for himself, Luo Qingli can sum up a lot of lessons from it, and sometimes there are times when he is injured, but after the body transformation of the body refining technique, it is much stronger than that of ordinary qi refining cultivators, and it is all skin trauma, and it will heal quickly after using medicine.
Occasionally, she would meet fellow honey pickers, but everyone picked their own honey and had nothing to do with each other, and only a few came to rob like on the first day.
On this day, she sold the collected spirit honey to the Drunken Immortal Wine Workshop as usual, and got fifty spirit stones, thinking that Yan Chao's debt could finally be paid off.
The guy at the winery laughed and joked with her, "Little brother, you are really the most talented honey picker I have ever met, not to mention anything else, you have come to me to sell the most nectar in the past few months, eh, are you injured?"
Luo Qingli smiled slightly, under the effect of exorcism incense, those spirit bees were far away, and she had not even been stung.
Of course, you can't say that to guys,
Luo Qingli nodded, "Of course there are injuries, but a detoxification pill with a little topaz paste is almost the same, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, it's fine." ”
The guy at the wine shop patted her arm amusedly, but it felt like he had hit a wall of flesh, and his hand hurt.
"Oh, your iron striking is really different. ”
Luo Qingli practiced alchemy every day, and in a few months, her body was obviously strong and burly, and her muscles were so muscular that no one would believe her even if she told people that she was a girl.
The guy smiled and chatted with her a few more words, and proposed, "Brother, I see that you are quite talented in collecting honey, why don't you try to collect royal honey?"
The queen bee honey is the honey brewed by the king bee that only grows on the broken wall, the king bee is several times more fierce than the ordinary spirit bee, the mouthparts are sharp, and it can bite off a piece of flesh in an instant.
But along with the danger comes higher returns, and the price of royal honey is three times that of ordinary spiritual honey.
Luo Qingli thought that he had exorcism incense, but he could try it, "Okay, I'll try it next time." ”
After saying goodbye to his buddy, Luo Qingli went back to Bailian Residence, Yan Chao seemed to have a guest, he was a tall and handsome young man, a cultivator of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, Luo Qingli thought that he was here to find Yan Chao's refiner, and bowed slightly politely.
The young man leaned on the door frame and asked with a smile: "Eh, second uncle, this is the young man in your shop, he is not very old, but he looks quite strong." ”
Yan Chao snorted coldly, "The stinky girl came back so late, it's time to make dinner!"
Luo Qingli frowned, said a good word sullenly, and went back to the backyard, the smile on the young man's face instantly froze.
"Ya...... Head?"
The corners of the young man's mouth twitched slightly, "Uncle, I don't have anything wrong with my ears, right?"
"Why not? It's a pity that you're deaf at a young age!" Yan Chao rolled his eyes.
The young man laughed, "I really can't see it, it's actually a little girl...... Eh, how did a little girl practice all the tendon meat?"
Yan Chao sneered, "Eventful!"
The young man touched his nose, no longer dwelling on this matter, and asked instead: "I said, uncle, when do you plan to go back, my master often talks about you, and specially asked me to come and invite you back." ”
"Heh, you can pull it down, I think your master has sent you another task, so you can stop by and see me, right?" Yan Chaoli didn't want to pay attention to him, "Get out, Lao Tzu eats well and sleeps well here, don't worry about it!"
"That's not good, second uncle, I've come all the way here, why don't you entertain me, I'm hungry!"
The young man touched his belly, Yan Chao glared at him fiercely, but in the end, he still snorted coldly, and went to the backyard to tell Luo Qingli to cook a few more side dishes, and he was going to entertain his nephew tonight.
Luo Qingli made a table of dishes quickly, her cooking skills have improved rapidly, and now she can achieve both color, flavor, and taste, and can also ensure that the aura in the spiritual food is not lost. It's just that Yan Chao still eats very little as usual, but the young man is full of praise.
"Eh, second uncle, you young man really has nothing to say about cooking. The young man smiled and praised and turned to Luo Qingli, "Little brother...... Eh, girl, introduce, my name is Lu Heng. ”
Luo Qingli looked at Yan Chao, a little strange why the uncle and nephew of Tongzong were not the same surname, but thinking about the possible cousin or side relationship, he was not at ease.
"My name is Luo Qingli. ”
Lu Heng wanted to say something more, but Yan Chao coughed lightly, "Xiao Luo, you go and pack your things, I have something to say to Lu Heng." ”
"Good. ”
Luo Qingli didn't bother the two, went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went back to the room to meditate and practice as usual.
Early the next morning, Lu Heng was no longer there, Luo Qingli didn't ask much, and took dozens of spirit stones and handed them to Yan Chao: "Boss Yan, this time the debt can be paid off, don't hold on to it!"
Yan Chao snorted, "Now that the debt is paid off, you don't plan to work with me?"
Luo Qingli sighed helplessly, "Boss Yan, don't worry, you, a cheap laborer, don't want to leave for the time being." ”
Hearing this, Yan Chao was satisfied, and Luo Qingli set off to the forest again, this time she planned to go to collect royal honey.
This forest outside Daqu City is intricate, and further down there are mountains and mountains, overgrown with grass and trees, and there are many places that have not been explored, Luo Qingli's route on weekdays is one that everyone often takes, and the possibility of encountering big dangers is relatively small, so the common ones are Qi refining cultivators.
The grove goes northwest for more than ten miles, you can see a broken wall, according to legend, there used to be a mountain, but many years ago there were two high-level monks who fought here, a sword went down, the mountain was split in half, the cold sword qi did not disperse for a long time, and the grass did not grow all year round, until time erased the traces of the year, forming the current landform, and later there were king bees nesting on the rock wall.
There is no way to verify the truth or falsity of the rumor, and when everyone hears this legend in the future, they will only look up to the supernatural powers of the high-ranking monks.
Luo Qingli stood on the edge of the rock wall and looked down, this mountain is not high, this cliff is not very deep, the naked eye can barely see the bottom of the cliff, under the cliff is a pool of water, the lake is blue, and there are bubbling springs constantly bubbling out.
Before the late stage of qi refining, Luo Qingli was not able to fly with a weapon, she tied a rope to her body, and tied the other end to a big tree on the edge of the cliff, tried the firmness, and then pulled the rope and swung down.
In order to ensure safety, Luo Qingli also took a long sword and nailed it to the rock wall with one free hand to stabilize his body.
The nests built by the king bees are much larger than the hives of ordinary spirit bees, often connected together, they are larger, and more fierce, even if Luo Qingli's skin is coated with wisteria leaf juice, these king bees still open their teeth and claws at her, and their sharp mouthparts are closed one by one, glowing with a slight cold light.
