Chapter 757: A sudden turn of events, Feng He arrives
In a cave full of spiritual energy at the top of the mountain behind "Qinghefang".
After Xu Qingyin brewed a cup of herbal tea, she slowly poured it into a porcelain bowl on the table. Then she turned around with the herbal tea and went to the stone room next door.
"Senior sister, I have already melted all the elixirs into herbal tea. You should be able to refine them faster if you drink them directly."
Li Xiuning, who was meditating on a futon, saw Xu Qingyin walking in with a porcelain bowl. He quickly put away his magic power and squeezed out a smile to take the herbal tea in her hand.
"Qingyin, it's really hard for you to have to work so hard for me these days. It's all my fault for not living up to expectations. Even though I've refined a third-level recovery pill, I still can't recover. I don't know why I want to drag you down. Until when."
"Senior sister, what are you talking about? There is nothing that would hinder us. If it hadn't been for your support all the way, how could I have had the chance to succeed in building the foundation? I'm afraid I would have given up on following my master now. ”
Hearing Xu Qingyin's answer, Li Xiuning put away the smile on her face and sighed: "Sister, I know that you are a kind person and will remember my kindness throughout your life, otherwise someone else would have abandoned me by now.
It's a pity that my body has not improved much after taking so many miraculous medicines. I'm afraid I have no hope in this life.
Junior sister, you are still young, and your path will definitely be more than this in the future. You should also think more about yourself and don’t waste all your energy on me. "
"Senior sister, don't worry. I have asked fellow Taoist Song to help me go to Guiyunfang to buy elixirs a few days ago. I think there should be news soon. When fellow Taoist Song delivers the elixirs, I will mix them with herbal tea for senior sister. This time it will definitely be very good. Recover soon."
Seeing that Li Xiuning had become a little pessimistic about her injury, Xu Qingyin quickly opened her mouth to encourage her, with a confident smile on her face.
However, Li Xiuning's face did not change much after being comforted. He still sighed with a disappointed look on his face and said: "I know my own body, and it is not easy to recover, even if I buy it."
Just as Li Xiuning was speaking, there was a sudden fluctuation in the magic circle outside the cave, and then a white transmission note flew in and fell into Xu Qingyin's hands.
"It was sent by Fellow Daoist Song. He should have helped buy the elixir. Senior sister, please drink the medicine first. I will go down the mountain to find Fellow Daoist Song to get the elixir back."
After Xu Qingyin finished speaking, she immediately turned around and walked quickly outside the cave, regardless of what Li Xiuning had yet to say.
"Junior sister, wait!"
However, Xu Qingyin had not taken a few steps when she was stopped by a shout from Li Xiuning sitting aside. Immediately afterwards, Li Xiuning cast a spell to take out a second-level high-grade flying sword from the storage bag on her body and handed it to Xu Qingyin. in hand.
"Senior sister, this is your favorite flying sword. What are you doing?"
Seeing the confused look on Xu Qingyin's face, Li Xiuning quickly explained: "Fellow Daoist Song has sent me medicine several times recently, but he refused to accept the spirit stone. He must have done this because he knew we were not well-off.
I have no use for this magic weapon now. Junior sister, take it to the market and sell it first. After exchanging it for the spiritual stone, you can return the spiritual stone that Fellow Daoist Song helped to purchase the elixir.
Now that we have had so much help from others, we can no longer owe this favor. "
Seeing the resolute attitude on her senior sister's face, Xu Qingyin could only nodded slightly, without saying anything else, she put away the flying sword in her hand and turned around and walked out of the cave.
Xu Qingyin, who came to Fang City at the foot of the mountain, quickly found Song Yuanhao who was sitting patiently sipping tea outside a teahouse, and walked towards his location with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Song, did you come to me this time to find out about the elixir?"
Seeing Xu Qingyin coming over, Song Yuanhao nodded with a smile, then took out a white jade bottle from his body and handed it to her hand.
"I was lucky this time. As soon as I went to Guiyunfang, I happened to find the elixir you wanted in Tiandan Pavilion. This is the last one in the entire market. Fortunately, I went there in time, otherwise someone else would have caught it first. Take a trip."
Seeing the white jade bottle that Song Yuanhao took out, Xu Qingyin's face lit up and she quickly took it.
After opening the jade bottle and taking a look, Xu Qingyin felt relieved after confirming that there was no big problem with the quality of the elixir.
Next, she did not rush to put away the elixirs, but cast a spell to take out a bag of spiritual stones from the storage bag and placed it directly on the table between the two of them.
"I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Song for your help in purchasing these elixirs. Please accept these spiritual stones first. When Senior Sister's injury is better, we will find an opportunity to thank Fellow Daoist again someday."
Seeing the spirit stones that Xu Qingyin took out and placed on the table, Song Yuanhao quickly waved his hand and said: "This is just a simple effort and does not cost much spirit stones.
These spiritual stones are not urgently needed now. You still need spiritual stones everywhere in the market. Fellow Taoist, you should keep them for emergencies. There is no need to be in such a hurry. You can return them to me when you have more money. Not too late. "
"Fellow Taoist has tried to help me several times, but he has been unwilling to accept my spirit stones. This has made me a little embarrassed to speak to you again. I would like to ask fellow Taoist not to be polite to me today.
Otherwise, no matter how important this elixir is to me, I will never dare to accept it, so I can only return it to fellow Taoist first. "After Xu Qingyin finished speaking, she put the elixir in her hand back on the table with a calm expression.
Seeing that Xu Qingyin's attitude was different from before and very resolute this time, Song Yuanhao suddenly smiled bitterly, nodded slightly, and then put away the bag of spirit stones on the table.
Seeing Song Yuanhao accept his spiritual stone, Xu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and took back the white jade bottle on the table with a smile.
After completing the exchange of elixirs and spirit stones, seeing the smile return to Xu Qingyin's face, Song Yuanhao took the initiative to pour a cup of spirit tea for Xu Qingyin beside him and asked her to sit down.
"How is Fellow Daoist Li's recovery from his injury recently? Is he no better than before?"
After the two sat in the teahouse and chatted for a while, Song Yuanhao changed the subject and asked about Li Xiuning's recovery from injury.
Xu Qingyin, who didn't want to get the elixir at this moment, suddenly looked a little confused when she heard Song Yuanfang asked about Li Xiuning's injury, and she lost the confidence she had before in front of her senior sister.
"Senior sister has taken a lot of elixirs recently. Although her complexion is better than before, she still hasn't improved for some reason. I don't know if the elixirs this time can have some effect."
"Well, some healing elixirs may not take effect too quickly. Fellow Daoist Xu, don't be too anxious. Please be patient and wait for a while. Fellow Daoist Li will slowly get better."
Facing Song Yuanhao's comfort, Xu Qingyin smiled helplessly and nodded: "For more than a year, in order to purchase healing elixirs, not only did we use up all the spiritual objects left by our master, but we also sold off the magical weapons on our senior sister's body. pieces.
Right now, as Fellow Daoist Song thinks, we really don’t have much spiritual stone savings left. If Senior Sister still cannot recover after a while, I may take Senior Sister back to Song Kingdom and slowly recuperate. "
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to return to the Song Kingdom now?" Hearing that Xu Qingyin had the idea of going back, Song Yuanhao's expression changed and he couldn't help but ask again.
After receiving a nod of confirmation from the other party, Song Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I know all the fellow Taoists stationed in Qinghefang. I will say hello to them later. Fellow Taoist Xu, just stay at ease and there won't be any trouble." of."
"I understand Fellow Daoist Song's good intentions, but now that Senior Sister's injury is not getting better, it is useless for us to stay here all the time. Instead of forcing you to stay and trouble you all the time, it is better to go back earlier and save worry."
Xu Qingyin knew that Song Yuanhao really wanted to help her, but as she said, the main purpose of coming to Weiguo this time was to find healing elixirs for Li Xiuning.
Now that both of them have spent almost all their spiritual stones, they are not willing to bother Song Yuanhao for help, and there is no point in staying any longer.
Seeing that the other party already had his own thoughts in mind, Song Yuanhao did not choose to speak any more. He just picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip with a silent expression.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I have to go back to prepare medicine for Senior Sister, so I won't disturb you too much. I'll take my leave today."
"Fellow Taoist, leave quickly!"
Seeing Xu Qingyin stand up to leave, Song Yuanhao didn't say anything to stay with her. He bowed his hand in return and watched the other party turn and leave.
After Xu Qingyin left for a while and Song Yuanhao sat alone in the teahouse in silence for a long time, he got up and left the teahouse and walked directly to the entrance of Fangshi.
As soon as he reached the entrance of Fangshi, Song Yuanhao suddenly found a very familiar figure in front of him. He was a little surprised and hurried forward to salute.
"Seventh Uncle, why are you here?"
Song Qingming, who had just entered Fangshi, glanced at Song Yuanhao in front of him, and replied directly: "I naturally have some things to deal with when I come here, but you are not staying in Yinfeng Ridge. Why are you here today?"
"I came here because Fellow Daoist Xu asked me for help. I came to deliver healing elixirs to her senior sister."
Faced with Song Qingming's serious inquiry, Song Yuanhao didn't hide anything, and directly told Song Qingming that Xu Qingyin asked him for help in purchasing elixirs.
Hearing Song Yuanhao's answer, Song Qingming's face suddenly became a little more confused, and he asked with some confusion:
"Didn't I give them a third-level recovery pill last time? Logically speaking, it was enough for her senior sister to heal her injuries. Why hasn't the injury improved? Is there something wrong with the pill or did it happen when she took the refining pill? What went wrong."
"Seventh uncle, I don't know exactly why Li Daoyou's injury is not getting better. However, I have already asked them about the elixir, and there is no quality problem."
"Since there is no problem with the elixir, is there something wrong with her injuries?"
After Song Qingming stood there and thought to himself for a moment, he continued to speak to Song Yuanhao on the side: "Yuanhao, don't be in a hurry to go back, and then go find them again.
I just said that I wanted to see the injured fellow Daoist Li later, and asked them to wait for me at Xianfeng Tower for a while. I would come right away after I finished the work here. "
"Seventh Uncle, do you want to help check her injuries?"
Hearing that his ancestor suddenly wanted to see Li Xiuning, Song Yuanhao first showed a look of surprise, and then confirmed with some disbelief.
Song Qingming has been cultivating elixirs for so many years. As a high-ranking elixir cultivator in the world of immortality, he has spent most of his time cultivating on his own spiritual mountain. He rarely spends energy to take the initiative to ask about the affairs of a foundation-building cultivator below.
What's more, Li Xiuning is just a casual cultivator from outside, and he is not a cultivator familiar with the Song family.
When Song Qingming agreed to give them a third-grade low-grade "Rejuvenation Pill" in exchange for it, it was entirely because Xu Qingyin was kind to Song Yuanhao that he helped them.
Logically speaking, the Song family had already repaid their kindness by giving them the elixir. As for whether Li Xiuning's injuries were better after taking the elixir, these had nothing to do with "Funiu Mountain", and Song Qingming did not need to pay special attention now. I went to ask about Sister Xu Qingyin.
Seeing the somewhat puzzled look on Song Yuanhao's face, Song Qingming thought for a while but still did not directly explain his intention to him. Instead, he smiled and explained:
"After all, the elixir for her healing was also given to her by Funiu Mountain. Regardless of whether others say there is a problem or not, we must try our best to find out what is going on.
If there is really a problem with the elixir, if we don't find out the cause now, we will be in trouble later.
You just need to tell them that I was just passing by to help check on her injuries. Don't tell them what I just thought, lest they think too much about it. "
He had previously learned that Li Xiuning's injuries had not improved after retreating for treatment. Seeing Xu Qingyin always frowning because of this, Song Yuanhao also wanted to help them.
It's just that Li Xiuning's injury was too serious, and even the third-level elixirs couldn't be used. Ordinary foundation-building monks couldn't find out the problem at all. Song Yuanhao was powerless and could only try his best to help Xu Qingyin go out to buy some elixirs.
During the recent period, Song Yuanhao also had the idea of asking several ancestors of the family for help.
It's just that the family had helped him repay Xu Qingyin's kindness last time. Song Yuanhao really couldn't open his mouth to ask several ancestors for help with their affairs, so he never told others about it.
Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to help check Li Xiuning's injury because he was worried that there might be something wrong with the pills given by the Song family before, Song Yuanhao was overjoyed and immediately understood what he meant, and nodded in agreement.
"Seventh uncle, I know what to do. Don't worry, I'll tell them right away." After Song Yuanhao finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the back hill of Fangshi, with a smile slowly appearing on his face.
I heard that Xu Qingyin was about to give up and wanted to take Li Xiuning back to the Song Dynasty.
Song Yuanhao never expected that in just a moment, he would hear Song Qingming taking the initiative to check on Li Xiuning's injuries, which would cause the matter to suddenly take a turn.
At this moment, Song Yuanhao was also extremely happy, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, wanting to tell Xu Qingyin and Xu Qingyin the good news as soon as possible.
Seeing Song Yuanhao's happy face when he left, Song Qingming also had a smile on his face. After shaking his head gently, he turned and walked to the other end of Fangshi Street.
In recent years, due to the rise of the Song family, the entire Qinghe County has developed very rapidly, and the number of monks has increased several times compared to a hundred years ago.
Although the "Chiyanfang" founded by the Song family in the north has attracted many monks from Qinghe County to purchase spiritual objects over the years, "Qinghefang" has not been greatly affected by this. There are more monks coming and going on the street than It has increased a lot since a hundred years ago.
Since forming the pill, Song Qingming rarely came to "Qinghefang". Looking at the many familiar shops on the street, many memories left here emerged in his mind.
Two hundred years have passed quickly. When he first came to "Qinghefang", Song Qingming was just a weak and immature little Qi Refining monk, but now he has grown into a famous Jindan Patriarch.
Song Qingming was walking in the streets of Fangshi, slowly scanning the shops on the street, and soon came to an ordinary century-old store on the corner.
Standing outside the door, I took a look at the sign hanging above the door of the shop. It was still the same as before. It was just that there was a small stall at the door at some time, and there were more than a dozen different-looking stalls on it. A low-level puppet beast.
The boss sitting behind the stall is an ordinary-looking young man, who is tinkering with an unfinished wolf-shaped "puppet beast" in his hand, looking very attentive.
After seeing this stall, Song Qingming turned around calmly and walked into a nearby alley. When he came out a moment later, there was a black hat above his head, carefully covering his entire appearance.
"Fellow Taoist, how many spiritual stones does this puppet beast have?"
Just when Song Qingming came over, a female cultivator passing by saw a rabbit-shaped "puppet beast" in the stall that was very beautiful. She went directly to the front of the stall, picked up the "puppet beast" and asked the boss.
When he saw a customer coming to the door, the young man who was repairing the "puppet beast" in his hand did not put down the unfinished work in his hands. He just glanced at the customer lightly, and then quickly uttered a somewhat casual word.
"Twenty spiritual stones!"
"What...? It's just a junior puppet beast, and you dare to ask me for twenty spiritual stones. I think you're going crazy for spiritual stones!"
When she heard the price mentioned by the young man, the female cultivator was suddenly shocked, and she yelled angrily with some displeasure.
However, when the boss heard the other party's rebuke, his face didn't change much. He just repaired the "puppet beast" in his hand again and ignored the other party.
"Don't think you're trying to trick me because you don't understand. This kind of puppet beast is just pretty, and its attack power isn't strong at all. I can only give you ten spirit stones at most. If you agree to this thing, I'll take it."
The woman seemed to really like the "puppet beast" in her hand. Seeing that the boss didn't reply, she still didn't give up, so she directly told the price she wanted.
In her opinion, the young man in front of her looked like he was new to the world and had come out to apprentice with his elders. As long as she could deal with him patiently, the other party would probably agree in the end.
But what the woman didn't expect was that before the boss sitting behind the stall could reply, a mysterious monk wearing a bamboo hat suddenly spoke first.
"This thing is so exquisite. Taoist friend, only ten spiritual stones are too little. I am willing to offer twenty spiritual stones. Boss, how about you sell me this puppet beast?"
When she heard that Song Qingming was offering twenty spiritual stones, the face of the female cultivator who was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining immediately darkened.
After glancing at Song Qingming, who opened the quotation, she turned to look at the stall owner sitting beside him. She seemed to understand something and gave them a disdainful smile.
"Hmph! Don't think I can't see it. The two of you singing along are just trying to trick me into buying this thing at a high price.
Don't think that I'm easy to deceive just because I'm young. Let me tell you, I'm a monk from the Xu family in Wutong Mountain, and my ancestors have some friendship with Funiu Mountain.
If you dare to trick someone like this on the street, be careful. I will report it to the Fang City Law Enforcement Team and have all your shabby stalls demolished. "
Seeing the arrogant look of the woman in front of him, Song Qingming was not angry. Instead, he took out twenty spiritual stones from his storage bag and placed them directly in front of the boss.
"I don't care if you are from Wutong Mountain or the Xu family, anyway, today I am interested in this spiritual object. If you want it, just pay the spiritual stone quickly. If you think it is too expensive and you can't afford it, then give this object to me. , stop yelling here.
As for if you want to file a lawsuit with the law enforcement team, that's up to you! "
"Who said I couldn't afford it?"
Being so excited by Song Qingming, the female cultivator from the Xu family suddenly became anxious. She also took out a bag of spiritual stones from her storage bag and placed it on top of the stall. Then she said seriously to the boss: "Boss, please be careful. Yes, twenty spiritual stones are a lot.
But I want to say one more thing. I will go to the law enforcement team to appraise this item later. If the real price is too different, don’t blame me for not reminding you now. "
After saying that, the Xu family woman put away the "puppet beast" in her hand, glared at Song Qingming at the side with a bit of displeasure, turned and left the stall.
Seeing this situation, Song Qingming didn't pay attention. After the woman left, he turned around and bowed to the young boss in front of him.
"It's been a long time, I haven't seen you before. The senior's cultivation is getting more and more advanced. The junior is more polite!"
Seeing Song Qingming step forward to salute him, Feng He put down the "puppet beast" in his hand and nodded to it with a smile.
"You are not bad either. Your cultivation has improved a lot in just a few years. It seems that the cultivation experience I gave you last time has indeed helped.
I've been bored here these past few days, so I set up this stall on a whim. What happened just now won't bring any trouble to Liu Fengtang, right? "
"Senior, don't worry. I've already explained everything here. No matter what you do in Liufeng Hall, no one will come to disturb you."
Seeing this, Feng He nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and put away the spirit stones given by the woman at the stall, showed a slight smile and said: "You helped me earn a few more spirit stones today, but I can't You, the ancestor of the Song family, have been busy in vain.
How about you come with me and have a few cups of my new spiritual tea? "
"This junior can only ask for it!" (End of this chapter)
