Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 929 Qiu Lin's New Job

……

It was noon on the second day.

Zhao Qingcai secretly made his way back to Qingwufang on the outskirts of the Nangong clan, hiding deep within their territory.

With the Bone Woman's life-giving butterfly following her, Aunt Qinghuan naturally provided support at the same time.

After Zhao Qing returned home.

The restrictions on the mansion have been lifted.

Inside the east wing, the four of them, carrying Xiao Nangong's soul lamp, began to reassess their current situation.

"Nangong Youruo took that essence blood to the core region of the clan."

"During the banquet, they said it would be handed over to the head of the family..."

"I followed them and continued deeper, and I sensed several primordial spirits. To avoid alerting them, I'll leave it at that for now..."

Zhao Qing spoke in such a soft voice.

He followed Nangong Youruo for a while early in the morning.

After discovering that there were many Nascent Soul cultivators in the core area, they stopped exploring and chose to return first.

But thinking about it... whether or not there's a follow-up investigation isn't that important; it's just a matter of whether or not they were caught red-handed.

My aunt nodded solemnly, expressing her strong agreement.

"Then let's put this line here for now."

"Given the current actions of the Nangong family, they are most likely looking for someone... Let's start from another angle."

In the current situation, the dwarf girl's spirit manifested, and she followed the Bone Woman, frowning and remaining silent.

indeed……

The essence and blood of ordinary martial artists, after going around in circles, were actually sent to the core area where the patriarch was located... although I was unable to see it with my own eyes.

But there's definitely something fishy going on here!

Even she couldn't stand it anymore and was speechless.

...In other words, the fact that Qingjun is now a true spirit is completely unknown to the world.

Otherwise, who wouldn't find Nangong's behavior strange?

The woman's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

He muttered to himself with suspicion, "Should I call Si He out?"

"Or perhaps we could speak with the Phoenix and use its great supernatural powers to ascertain the truth?"

The words fell.

Aunt Zhao Qing exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads.

Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment: "This is not a crucial matter."

"Take it easy."

"With the Phoenix around, the Nangong Clan can't turn the world upside down."

"Right now, we need to find Qingjun... not the time to gather evidence against Nangong..."

Zhao Qing explained it this way, clarifying the primary task to Bone Woman and Qing Huan.

They came out to find Qingjun.

Since luck has drawn us here, we should try our luck here.

Why destroy the Nangong clan now?

Is it to expose the Nangong clan for their involvement in the Bloodstained Robe incident? Or is it to uncover the powerful deity behind them?

There's even a slight possibility that the Nangong family didn't do anything at all... they simply used some of their essence blood for something else.

If the Phoenix were to intervene, it would inevitably cause another upheaval.

At that time, even the gazes of many immortals and gods will be drawn to it.

and then?

Then the overseas world was in chaos... Under the circumstances, Phoenix might also leave, and they would continue their journey alone, sneaking off to find Qingying?

Can this be right?

This is wrong!

My aunt slightly raised her beautiful eyes and said softly, "What I mean is..."

"We only need to confirm two things."

"First, it seems almost certain that the Nangong family is indeed looking for Qingjun."

"second."

"Has the Nangong clan found Qingjun yet?"

Um--!

Not to mention Zhao Qing, Xiao Nangong also deeply agreed with what he said.

The most advantageous direction at present...

It's likely that they used Nangong's extensive network to help them find Qingjun.

If everyone is looking for Qingjun, why not do it together?

With the influence of the Reverse Scale Qi on Zhao Qing's side, coupled with the vast scheme of the Nangong Clan... wouldn't that be twice as effective with half the effort?

Later, they actually found clues about Qingjun's whereabouts.

With the Phoenix following closely behind, it won't be too late to settle scores at any time.

……

After discussion, not long afterward...

The aunt then returned to the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm alone, leaving some space for Nangong Yao.

She and Zhao Qing understood, of course, that Xiao Nangong must be extremely anxious.

Furthermore, Nangong Yao also knew that Xiaoyi was intentionally avoiding her.

So that if she has anything to say, she can talk to Zhao Qinggu first, and the three of them can chat together.

Having spent so much time together in the secret realm, everyone naturally understood each other perfectly.

After my aunt returned to the secret realm.

In the west wing.

Only Qinghuan remained to accompany her master, while the Bone Woman used her own Yin energy to sustain Nangong Yao's soul.

Even short girls are not to be underestimated.

She frowned, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Zhao Qing directly, asking bluntly, "Do you have any magical treasures?"

"Do we need a spirit artifact?"

Weapon spirit?

Good guy.

Even though Zhao Qing knew what was going on, he was still speechless at Yao Mei's words.

His expression was curious, and he joked, "No way... How about the Han Guang Sword? I'll let you benefit from it and become the spirit of my Han Guang Sword?"

"Neither Si He nor I know any soul-refining techniques."

The girl lowered her eyes helplessly upon hearing this, looking like she didn't want to pay any attention.

How could she not tell that Zhao Qing was joking?

At this moment, the Bone Woman turned her head and asked in surprise, "Does it really have to come to this?"

"Um……"

Nangong Yao remained noncommittal.

After a slight hesitation, he whispered, "Let's try to preserve some of the bloodline."

"Now that I've become Zhao Qing's spirit, I can no longer harbor any disloyalty. Perhaps, out of pity, the Phoenix Emperor will spare me some trouble in the future?"

hiss--

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing's expression became particularly strange.

He inexplicably exchanged a glance with Qinghuan, then said sullenly, "Then you're just overthinking it."

"The phoenix looks at me... and doesn't seem to like me very much."

"Be careful not to overdo it."

Nangong Yao: ???

Does the phoenix dislike you?

I didn't feel anything...

Seeing the short girl's bewildered expression, Zhao Qing couldn't help but ask, "What did you ask the Phoenix for? Did the Phoenix agree?"

"..."

Xiao Nangong remained silent for a while.

He pondered for a moment and muttered, "I'm not asking for anything, I just want to make my stance clear, sever ties with the current Nangong family, and see if I can leave myself an out in the future..."

"Phoenix's attitude was ambiguous. She said she knew and told me to do it."

I'll ask you to do it...

Zhao Qing fell silent for a moment, the sound of which seemed somewhat familiar.

The Phoenix Maiden seemed to have said the same thing to him before.

He embraced Qinghuan's delicate body, looking at Xiao Nangong with a speechless expression: "If I tell you to do it, you'll just become my artifact spirit?"

The short girl glared at Qinghuan with her almond-shaped eyes, her posture straightforward: "For anything else, I need a body, don't I?"

Zhao Qing: ...

What else?

Will you still be as short as you are now even after you have a new body?

no--

He stopped laughing and said seriously, "You're reliable. If we take advantage of the Nangong family's plan, we can find Qingjun sooner."

“I will plead with my master on your behalf, which should allow me to preserve many of your bloodlines, but those high-ranking ancestors will probably not escape.”

The girl looked sickly, her head drooping as she stared at her soul lamp.

Zhao Qing and the other two saw this.

It was hard not to feel a little reluctant, especially for Zhao Qing and the Bone Woman, who had seen another so-called young lady last night...

Yao Mei has fallen on hard times.

The Jade Mandarin Duck Pavilion travels the world, and the brightest daughter of the Nangong family in the Central Plains is renowned.

He even once led half of the Nangong Ancient Clan.

Now they've fallen to such a state, and even the whereabouts of Yao Mei's parents and relatives, the previous head of the Nangong family, are unknown. The ancestral hall of her lineage may no longer exist...

She couldn't possibly have no suspicions, but she hasn't mentioned them at all until now.

Nangong Yao raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and when she heard Zhao Qing say that he would plead for her, she didn't seem to take it too seriously.

She simply chuckled softly and said, "Thanks, we'll see later. I wonder what level the Nangong family has achieved..."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, her soul dissipated and returned to the small lamp beside the Bone Woman.

She herself was extremely confused and didn't know what to do.

……

The next two days.

Everything in the mansion fell silent for the time being.

on the surface.

Qiu Lin, who had just entered the Golden Core stage, was temporarily residing deep within Qingwu Fang, accompanied by a disciple named Wang Jinhong.

But it was shrouded in secret restrictions.

But the east and west wings faced each other.

Zhao Qing and Xiao Yi Qing Huan lived in the west wing, while the Bone Woman, carrying Xiao Nan Gong's soul lamp, lived in the east wing. They would occasionally meet up and return to the secret realm together to ponder their next move.

Just as Zhao Qing saw that everything was calm and was about to go out again to explore the depths of the Nangong clan and other places,

The situation has finally begun to change.

This morning.

A Golden Core cultivator hurriedly boarded a boat and went directly to Qingwu Workshop, causing the servants and Foundation Establishment cultivators in the workshop to tremble with fear and dare not raise their voices.

The person who arrived was none other than Lu Miaoxuan!

See this scene.

Qinghuan and Bone Woman, carrying Nangong's soul lamp, remained in the side room to observe secretly. They didn't need many tricks; simply concealing their auras was enough to deal with the Golden Core cultivator.

Qiu Lin, on the other hand, accompanied Wang Jinhong, who had already reached the third level of Qi Refining, to receive the distinguished guests.

Lu Miaoxuan entered the house.

Looking at Qiu Lin, his eyes held an indescribable surprise and joy.

Even though she saw that Wang Jinhong had reached the third level of Qi Refining in just a few days, she didn't ask any questions or make any further mentions.

"Why are you back, Fellow Daoist Lu?"

The aunt chuckled and glanced casually at her husband.

Zhao Qing then obediently went to brew tea, playing the role of his apprentice well.

Some even felt that...the aunt was simply seeking revenge.

"Sister Qiu!"

"What a joyous occasion!"

"Are you hiding something from your sister?"

Lu Miaoxuan's words were full of expectation, and she had lost some of her former poise.

That's what I said.

The aunt frowned in suspicion, but in reality, she probably already knew what was going on.

Her husband had jokingly mentioned that there was a Golden Elixir named Nangong Qi who seemed interested in the character Qiu Lin she was playing.

Could they be here to propose marriage?

If that's the case, the Nangong family will probably be short one person...

now.

The aunt and Zhao Qing exchanged a knowing glance, and the aunt raised an eyebrow in question, her tone becoming more intimate: "Sister, what are you saying? Has something been wrong lately?"

"Um--!"

The woman accepted the tea that Zhao Qing offered.

After taking a sip of water to calm herself down, she leaned closer to her aunt, alternating her legs comfortably, and whispered, "About your advancement to the Golden Core stage."

"It is said that Elder Ding has been busy outside and has not been able to come back recently."

"However, the arrangements for you have already been made by the clan... You will receive the warrant today."

Oh?

My aunt smiled and raised an eyebrow in confusion: "Is it some kind of cushy job?"

certainly--!

Lu Miaoxuan had an air of superiority, as if to say to her sister that she had no connections.

He gave a meaningful hum: "It's very convenient to stay and work within the clan."

"And I'm dining with my older sister~"

She trailed off.

He raised his beautiful eyes and glanced at Qiu Lin, who smiled without saying a word.

He chuckled again, "You're in charge of coordinating the registration and record-keeping affairs, huh..."

"These are the lists of ordinary people that we Foundation Establishment cultivators collected on those overseas islands in the past. We cultivators brought them back and gave them to you to keep a record of."

"Don't underestimate this matter... Most of those in charge are disciples of Yujing and members of the Nangong bloodline. Did you ask the elders of the Qiu family to inform them?"

Um! ?

Upon hearing this, my aunt's face lit up with a smile.

She glanced casually at her husband and the west wing, exchanging glances with the others.

This... is really a great job.

To record the lives of ordinary beings!

If we were to take charge of this, wouldn't we be able to get firsthand information about Qingying if she appeared?

Zhao Qing, who was pouring tea, paused involuntarily as he listened, his mind filled with disbelief.

He certainly understood what was going on...

This was all arranged by Nangong Youruo.

Could it be... that this is also part of the reverse scale drawing on one's destiny?

My aunt smiled broadly, her beautiful eyes blinking uncertainly.

Seeing Lu Miaoxuan pressing him for answers, he simply shook his head in confusion: "I really didn't ask my family for anything."

"However, since my sister says it's a good idea, it must be quite convenient."

"Please take good care of me in the future, sister..."

Is it true?

Lu Miaoxuan looked Qiu Lin up and down, her smile becoming even more radiant and captivating. She said cryptically, "This is my communication jade talisman. You can ask me about any situation that arises later."

"Only one thing..."

"There aren't many good resources available for coordinating the registration and registration process."

"A few thousand spirit stones a month is nothing to those with the Nangong bloodline and cultivators of Yujing."

"If you want to go out and explore, just send me a message. There are plenty of overseas ruins and secrets, and those cultivators from Jade Capital often sneak out to explore..."

Lu Miaoxuan's words were very sincere and friendly.

I suspect that Qiu Lin receives a significant amount of resources from the Qiu family.

At this moment, a feeling of goodwill inevitably arose, and together they analyzed the pros and cons of the future from various perspectives.

And indeed it is.

If it were the real Qiu Lin here...

They're probably grinning from ear to ear right now.

Of course, I'll be incredibly excited and start considering future plans...

This is not only an advancement in cultivation and status, but also means that the fellow cultivators you will work with in the future will be those whose bloodlines are close to the core of the Nangong clan...

but.

The problem is that Aunt Qiu Lin isn't the one in question!

The real Qiu Lin is currently on a secluded island in the Heavenly Evolution Diagram, studying the Foundation Establishment technique given to her by Shu Yue.

Therefore, when Lu Miaoxuan spoke...

The thoughts and ideas of the aunt and Zhao Qing were completely different.

……

After Lu Miaoxuan left.

It was only a little over two hours.

Above Qingwufang, an extremely condensed divine sense pressed down!

The aura of the Nascent Soul was vast and powerful.

A calm instruction was given: "Qiu Lin, a member of the Qiu family, is to write in the Shuyuanfang outside the valley."

Such movement.

This caused a great shock throughout Qingwufang. Most Foundation Establishment cultivators kept silent, not daring to discuss any news about the newly promoted Golden Core cultivator in the neighborhood.

Meanwhile, in the west wing of the mansion.

Aunt Zhao Qing, who had been waiting, immediately exchanged a glance with Zhao Qing and took action.

Outside the valley, Shuyuanfang...

Here comes the work!

now.

Zhao Qing immediately concealed himself and disappeared, naturally to check on the situation first.

The aunt continued to whisper and communicate with Qinghuan Gu Nu.

After a short rest.

She had just revealed a hint of her Golden Core aura when she respectfully piloted a small spirit boat, flying through the air towards the direction of Shuyuanfang...
