Chapter 17: A Quiet Day

Xu Qing naturally did not hide anything from Xiao Ming, and told Xiao Ming all the details. When Xiao Ming heard how Xu Qing was maneuvering between two disciples of the seventh layer of qi refining, he couldn't help but admire this kid's cleverness. When I heard that the leaves and stems of the Divine Lotus withered automatically, and all the essence flowed to the lotus root and lotus pod, I felt that the Divine Lotus was even more miraculous.

"The fortune is profound, and there will be success in the future!" After Xu Qing finished narrating, Xiao Ming looked at Xu Qing and commented like this, which made Xu Qing's second monk puzzled.

"What do you think about this trip to the back mountain?" Xiao Ming didn't care whether Xu Qing understood it or not, and then asked, with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Xu Qing didn't answer immediately, pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "There are still laws in the mortal world, debts are repaid, and murder is repaid, but there is no good or evil in the world of cultivating immortals, regardless of good or evil, everything speaks by strength, and the strong are respected." ”

Xiao Ming's eyes were even more appreciative, even if the talent was excellent, if he couldn't see through the world, he could die at any time, so what was the use of being talented at that time?

"It's true, cultivators want to live forever, friendship is weak, in order to live forever, killing people and setting fires can do. Therefore, if you want to live a long time in the immortal cultivation world, you must not trust anyone easily, because you don't know when someone else will stab you in the back. Xiao Ming said, his tone a little low.

Xu Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"If you bring such a heavy treasure to me, aren't you afraid that I will kill people and seize the treasure? After all, this is not an ordinary treasure!" Xiao Ming said, with a smile on his face, as if there was a conspiracy brewing.

"If it weren't for Uncle Shi's two spirit runes, I'm afraid that the disciple would have already fallen, how could he obtain such a treasure, even if he gave it to Uncle Shi, what would it matter?" Xu Qing said with a smile.

Xiao Ming was extremely satisfied with Xu Qing's answer, but he remained silent on the surface, and said with a smile: "Oh, are you willing to give me such a heavenly treasure?"

"Hehe, naturally I'm a little reluctant, it would be great if Uncle Shi could give me a little more elixir for cultivation. Xu Qing said with a grin.

"Forget it, Uncle Shi can't pull down his old face to bully you as a junior, what are you going to do with these elixirs?" Xiao Ming secretly scolded this kid for not being a master who was willing to suffer, no wonder he was willing to give the Divine Lotus to himself, it turned out that he wanted to exchange for the elixir.

"It's useless for the disciple to ask for these elixirs, he wants to sell them all in exchange for the elixir, but there are too many of these elixirs, and the disciple is afraid of making people angry, so he wants to ask his uncle for help. ”

"I accepted these elixirs, I will give you the elixir you need, as for this divine lotus, I don't know what it is, it is just a waste of the divine object to use it to refine the medicine, you can keep it yourself, maybe you can use it in the future." Xiao Ming thought about it for a while and said, putting all the elixirs except for the Divine Lotus into the storage bag.

"Remember, even if I take out this divine lotus and sell it, it will make people blush, so don't take it out before you have a certain strength, and you can't let others know about it casually, otherwise your life will be in danger. Xiao Ming instructed earnestly.

Xu Qing nodded to indicate that he was taught, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ming for advice: "Uncle Shi, how did you and the senior uncle just now find out that I have a good treasure outside?"

"I didn't expect that you, this kid, would have such luck and let you get such a heavy treasure, and I would have given you a few spirit sealing talismans if I knew it. Although you use a jade box to hold the Divine Lotus, there is still a small amount of strange fragrance escaping, as long as the cultivation reaches a certain level and passes by you, you will naturally be able to detect it, and you will know that you have a good treasure on your body. Xiao Ming explained, and by the way, he took out ten spirit sealing talismans from the storage bag and handed them to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at Shimen with a worried face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, every alchemy room has the function of isolating divine thoughts, and others can't detect it here." ”

Xu Qing was frightened into a cold sweat, and secretly said that it was fortunate that he didn't meet anyone along the way, otherwise it was still two to say whether he would be able to come back. After receiving the spirit sealing talisman from Xiao Ming's hand, Xu Qing pasted two of the remaining three jade boxes with the spirit talisman, and put the two jade boxes and the remaining spirit sealing talisman into the storage bag.

Then Xu Qing respectfully handed the jade box containing the nine-petal lotus petals to Xiao Ming: "Uncle Shi, be careful, I hope you don't shirk." ”

"Then I'll accept it, just so that I can study it well, maybe I can refine some good elixir!" Xiao Ming hesitated slightly, and then accepted it.

"Your defensive magic weapon is destroyed, this magic weapon will be given to you, this is definitely a good thing given to me when a refining master asked me to refine the elixir. Xiao Ming took a bronze mirror from the storage bag and handed it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully, there was nothing special, and he couldn't help muttering: "This broken mirror is not strong, aren't the mirrors easy to break!"

"Don't be satisfied, you stinky boy, this mirror was originally intended to be refined into a top-level spiritual weapon, but there was a mistake in the last step, and finally the master refined it into a top-level magic weapon, but in terms of defense, it is definitely not the slightest worse than an ordinary spiritual weapon, after all, it is a material for refining a top-level spiritual weapon." Xiao Ming said angrily.

When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ming's explanation, his face was overjoyed, and he turned the bronze mirror over and looked, it was equivalent to a spiritual weapon, how strong the defense was. Then, as if he was afraid that Xiao Ming would regret it, he hurriedly put the bronze mirror into the storage bag.

Life is back on track, and Xu Qing follows Xiao Ming to the alchemy room to learn alchemy every day in addition to cultivation. He didn't go to the back mountain again, it was too dangerous, and besides, his harvest this time was enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

And Xiao Ming has been thinking about how to use those few lotus petals to refine the elixir in his spare time, and every time he goes to the alchemy room to try to refine, he never brings Xu Qing with him, which makes Xu Qing wonder for a while, but when Xu Qing saw him come out of the alchemy room with a gray face, he suddenly became surprised, and then looked up at the top of the stone room, desperately holding back a smile, making Xiao Ming grit his teeth with hatred.

Although Xiao Ming only had the foundation building period, his alchemy technique was no worse than that of the strong people in the Jindan stage in the sect, and in the end he refined five spirit pills, each of which was the size of a dragon's eye, and the fragrance was fragrant.

"Hehe, you accept these two elixirs, the divine lotus is really extraordinary, just the petals can refine such a healing elixir, it can almost live the flesh and bones of the dead, and taking it after serious injuries can definitely save your life." Xiao Ming took out two of the five elixirs refined and gave them to Xu Qing, Xu Qing naturally accepted them unceremoniously, such a life-preserving elixir should not be in vain.

In this way, Xu Qing repeated the same days every day, in addition to cultivation, he followed Xiao Ming to seriously study alchemy. A year after coming to Earth Fire Valley, Xu Qing began to try to help Xiao Ming control Earth Fire, and Xiao Ming was also very satisfied with his performance.

After another half a year, when refining some simple pills, Xiao Ming would completely hand it over to Xu Qing to refine, while he would stay aside, and Xu Qing could remedy his mistakes in time.

With Xiao Ming's careful guidance, Xu Qing's alchemy technique naturally improved rapidly, and in the second year of coming to the Earth Fire Valley, Xu Qing passed the assessment of the sect and became an alchemist.

However, Xu Qing did not take over the sect's alchemy task, and now he doesn't have to worry about the elixir for the time being, so he still follows Xiao Ming to learn the art of alchemy. Xiao Ming is now an alchemy master, Xu Qing still has a lot to learn, and the level of an alchemist is just a first glimpse.

Many times, after Xiao Ming finished refining the elixir, he always sighed: "Hey, the level of alchemy is not as good as before, and it barely meets the sect standard!" and then walked out of the alchemy room with a sigh.

When the Dan master refines the elixir for the sect, the sect will set a standard for the people who make alchemy, and those who are skilled in alchemy can keep the extra elixir by themselves, and of course they can also hand it in, and the more elixir they hand in, the more rewards they will get. But with the exception of some elixirs, such as the Tsukuji Dan, none of them will be left behind.

And Xu Qing can always take out a few elixirs in the Dan furnace at this time, without exception, they are all some elixirs that are helpful to Xu Qing. For this reason, every time Xiao Ming refines the Yun Qi Pill, Xu Qing always looks at it with a blank eye, and refuses to help, how can Xu Qing's alchemy match be as good as Xiao Ming, and in the end, there is less Dan, and it is himself who suffers.

Xu Qing will also go to the original small courtyard when he has free time to see Liu Yang and Gao Han, although Xu Qing often takes the elixir, but the speed of cultivation is still not faster than the two of them, and the cultivation is still lower than the two of them, which shows the importance of the advantages and disadvantages of the spiritual root, of course, there are also reasons why the two are diligent in cultivation.

They were naturally very happy that Xu Qingxiu could make such rapid progress, and they were even more envious of the uncle who often found reasons to give him the elixir in Xu Qing's mouth, and they couldn't wait to take over the task as an apprentice immediately.

And Xu Qing had asked them several times to increase their cultivation elixir, but they were all refused, and the two of them had already improved faster than Xu Qing in their cultivation, so they naturally refused to accept it, and finally only accepted some healing medicine.
