CHAPTER XXII

Meng Lingru's illness is extremely strange, his body is like a loophole that is constantly devouring the vitality of life, he doesn't know how many supplements he has taken since he was a child, and then his illness is serious, and he needs the elixir of an immortal cultivator to make up for his vitality. Like the Qi Nourishing Pill, after ordinary people eat it, they are afraid that they will only be weak and will not be replenished, and they will immediately bleed to death, but Meng Lingru can easily take it, and it only takes one month to absorb it all. Zheng Changfa also checked for her, but as soon as his mana entered Meng Lingru's body, he would be directly devoured, and he couldn't find the cause of the disease with the methods of immortal cultivators, let alone the rest of the mortal doctors, so Meng Lingru could only use the elixir to hang his life all the time.

Meng Lingru was not very happy after recovering, but said with some self-deprecation: "I wasted another Qi Nourishing Pill of Brother Zheng, my illness is really a bottomless pit." ”

Zhou Jing and Zhou Qian do not have spiritual roots, their status in the royal family is not high, and the Qi Nourishing Pill is also a very precious thing for them, and now these in their hands are all from Zheng Changfa, and even many of them are given to them by Zheng Changfa for cultivation, but they are all given to Meng Lingru.

In fact, what everyone didn't know was that Meng Lingru's illness was far more serious than they knew, and she would feel pain all over her body after half a month after taking the Qi Nourishing Pill, and in the following days, in order not to worry them, she had been holding back the pain, talking and laughing with them without showing the slightest abnormality, until half a month later, the body really couldn't hold on to it, and then she would show her abnormality, and she would take a Qi Nourishing Pill again and repeat the process, and the cycle repeated, and now it has been insisted on for three years.

Every time she was in pain, Meng Lingru wanted to die, and the pain that penetrated into her soul made her spirit always on the verge of collapse, but every time at this time, Meng Lingru would think of her father, who worked hard every day in order to get a reward from the royal family, Meng Zhixin, the eldest brother who begged her friends in order to get a qi pill, and Zhou Jing and Zhou Qian, who did not hesitate to take out the precious pill in order to help herself, she really didn't want to die and leave her relatives who loved her. friend, that's why she was able to persevere again and again, and survive to this day.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhiping immediately took out his Qi Nourishing Pill, with the help of the Five Visceral Gods, this thing did not have much effect on him. And although he didn't talk to Meng Lingru much, he felt that he was also a good friend, so he didn't have any difficulty in taking out the Qi Nourishing Pill. However, Zheng Changfa didn't know, and when he saw Zhang Zhiping take out his Qi Nourishing Pill, he hurriedly said: "Senior brother, this is what you used to break through the middle stage of Qi refining, if you can't break through next year, you won't be able to enter the Qingsong Gate!"

When the two girls heard this, they hurriedly refused, and Meng Lingru even said: "My dying person has already dragged down Sister Jing and Sister Xiaoqian, so there is no need to delay the future of the son." ”

Zhang Zhiping smiled confidently when he heard this, and said: "You don't have to worry, I am on the verge of breakthrough now, this Qi Nourishing Pill has little effect on me, it is better to use it to save Miss Meng's life." ?”

Meng Lingru still shirked when he heard this, and finally Zheng Changfa said: "In this way, I will still supply the Qi Nourishing Pill in the past few months, and it will not be too late to bring this Qi Nourishing Pill after three months." Zhang Zhiping immediately agreed to this method, and Meng Lingru could only agree when he saw this, and thanked him more than once.

Then the four of them lost their interest in You Chun and came to a rest point on the side of the road to chat. Zhang Zhiping was very sympathetic to Meng Lingru for having such a strange disease at a young age, and after checking it out, he found that his experience was the same as Zheng Changfa's, and his mana was devoured as soon as it entered her body. Zhang Zhiping was very curious about this situation, but he couldn't do anything for the time being, thinking that when his cultivation was high, he must study this condition carefully.

Zheng Changfa was so righteous to his friend, Zhang Zhiping was willing to get closer to him, so they chatted together. Zheng Changfa talked about sexuality, and talked about some interesting things in Qingsong Gorge, so that Zhang Zhiping had a certain understanding of Qingsongmen, and after chatting for a while, Zheng Changfa was a little embarrassed and said: "Senior brother is a smart person, I should also see that this spring outing was organized by me and Jingjing." ”

Zhang Zhiping heard Zheng Changfa call him so numb, goosebumps all over his body were about to rise, and he quickly nodded and said, "I can see it, but the purpose of your spring outing should not be so simple." After he finished speaking, he thought of the tent that Zheng Changfa had set up at the beginning.

Zheng Changfa shook his body and said: "There are not many monks near the capital of Zhou Kingdom, mainly concentrated in the worship pavilion, these people lack pills and talismans, but they have a lot of refining materials in their hands, I came here and found that there are good business opportunities, so I hold a trade fair at the time of the spring outing every year, No, you see, even the prince and others have been attracted here." ”

There are several large ore veins in the Zhou State, and these ore veins are not spiritual mines, so they are controlled by the Zhou State. The Zhou clan controls the Zhou Kingdom, and a large amount of ore is mined every year, which can be refined by immortal cultivators to refine refining raw materials such as dark iron, refined copper, mythril, and refined gold. Zhou Guo has a lot of refining materials, so he uses refining materials as a reward for completing the task in the worship pavilion. After accumulating a certain amount of materials, the offerings in the Offering Pavilion will go to the Immortal City under the control of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance to exchange for pills for cultivation, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, not to mention, and they will also accept layers of exploitation.

Zheng Changfa discovered this situation after coming here, and took advantage of the way of Qingsongmen to buy a large number of pills and talismans, and held a small trade fair here. Later, it also developed a business of receiving commissions from others to find some specific treasures. Over the years, the two sides have been trading very well, and even the prince and others have come to order some things, which can be described as prosperous.

When Zhang Zhiping heard this, he immediately said: "Congratulations to my senior brother for his prosperous business and great wealth." ”

Zheng Changfa waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "It's just to earn a little difference, it's nothing, and now there is one thing to trouble junior brother." ”

With Zheng Changfa's strength in the later stage of Qi refining, it can be said that he is at the top level in this group of juniors, and with Qingsongmen as a backer, what trouble can there be? It turned out that Chen Yu, the son of the prime minister, had also pursued Zhou Jing, but he never thought that Zhou Jing would fall in love with Zheng Changfa, a dead fat man, which suddenly made him feel insulted, so he often had a confrontation with Zheng Changfa. Last year, Chen Yu heard about the trade fair held by Zheng Changfa and came to make trouble, which made both parties very unhappy, and when he came again this year, I am afraid that he will make trouble. Zheng Changfa, as the host of the fair, is not good at driving Chen Yu out, because Chen Yu's troublemaking is very measured, and everything is in accordance with the rules of the fair.

Zhang Zhiping thought about Chen Yu and said, "I saw this Chen Yu this morning, but he is just a fifth-level Qi refining cultivator, how can he have the courage to go against you?"

Zheng Changfa smiled bitterly and said: "This Chen Yu is nothing, but his elder brother Chen Hong is a double spirit root, and now he has the cultivation of Qi Cultivation and Great Perfection, worship under the Yunyang Master, Chen Yu has not done anything excessive, if I teach him a lesson, I am afraid that Chen Hong should come to me after returning to Qingsong Gate." ”

Zhang Zhiping frowned when he heard this, Zheng Changfa knew the worry in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother don't worry, then Chen Hong is an extremely proud person, you and his younger brother will not raise the bar a few times will not attract him to make a direct move, not to mention ······" Zheng Changfa looked around and no one paid attention to this, and said in a low voice: "Senior Uncle Yunyang and our master don't deal with each other, the disciples often have some friction, if Chen Hong dares to bully the small, Senior Brother Zhao Wuji will definitely go to him to settle accounts." ”

When Zhang Zhiping heard this, he knew that he couldn't shirk it, this involved the position of the disciples of Yunming's sect, if he refused, Daoist Yunming would not say it, but these five senior brothers would definitely exclude him, and there was always a time to stand in line in life, so Zhang Zhiping immediately agreed.
