Chapter 256: Returning from Jianghu and Reminiscing Over Tea
Chapter 256: Returning from Jianghu and Reminiscing Over Tea
The opening of Lanqingji once again caused turmoil in the entire Yongning Prefecture.
For the State of Chu, this concerns the resources of each sect in the next ten years and the future situation of all families, big and small.
For the disciples who enter the secret realm, it is related to their own status and future in the sect.
……
The training markets of the major sects have all experienced some changes to a greater or lesser extent.
Only Changshengfang remained calm.
There are constantly wandering cultivators coming from all directions to temporarily reside here. Compared with other gathering places, the market town set up by the Changsheng Sword Sect is obviously more stable.
Zhao Qing stroked the communication jade in his hand and contacted Shen Mo.
My aunt stood quietly at the edge of the spirit boat, her beautiful eyes gazing at the snowy sky and the distant mountains and rivers.
Ten years ago, their family left Danxia Sect, took the Lanjiang River from Changshui, and their destination was Changshengfang.
To this end, she mobilized the Zhou family's power in advance, replaced the county magistrate of Lin'an County, and then lived in Lanxian Town for nearly a thousand days and nights.
Time flies, and Zhao Qing's cultivation and status are no longer the same as before.
However, Changshengfang remains the same and can be regarded as a holy place in the hearts of all the casual cultivators in Chu State.
The female cultivators behind him didn't have high cultivation levels, but most of them were young and beautiful. They should be much younger than him, right?
Thinking about the past, the woman's expression gradually softened.
He smiled and said to Zhao Qing, "With so many female guests, is there anyone you like?"
Ok?
Zhao Qing was slightly taken aback and said jokingly, "How many nights do you want to let me go out and play?"
The aunt's beautiful eyes slanted: "They are not ugly, and there may be many virgins. They are always fresher than our bodies that you have been playing with for ten years."
Listening to Xiaoyi's self-pity, Zhao Qing's spiritual sense swept over the many female cultivators, and there were indeed a few pretty and bright girls.
But no matter how moist it is, can it be as moist as the best water spirit root?
He smiled and replied in a voice transmission: "They never brought me a dowry of Ten Thousand Spiritual Stones."
My aunt disdainfully looked back.
She walked slowly to Qinghuan, caressing her man's ear with her red lips and whispering.
"I brought you the spirit stone. I only blame myself for being blind back then~"
"I've just thought carefully. You tricked Qing Huan and me into your life back then, not because you were in love with us..."
The woman glanced at Qing Huan with a smile and said, "It's because you can't get in touch with more female cultivators."
Zhao Qing: ...
it seems to be like this.
"If there were more than ten beauties for you to choose from back then, how could you have chosen us?"
Shuyue's eyes flashed, and she also came over to listen to her aunt's criticism of her husband.
Qinghuan naturally supported Zhao Qing. She pressed her delicate body against her master and chuckled back at Xiaoyi.
"it's not true."
"Qing Huan was picked up by the master."
"Back then at Dancao Workshop, Qinghuan was accompanied by three other senior sisters. The master told Lu Zheng that he would only take care of Qinghuan..."
Hearing this, Zhao Qing felt very relieved.
Looking at Qinghuan's bright and smiling face, she was indeed much more cheerful than when we first met.
He looked at his aunt provocatively, as if to say... Qing Huan was trained and brought up by me day and night, how could she possibly join you in speaking ill of me!?
However, backstabs always come unexpectedly.
Gu Qinghuan pursed her lips slightly, and then whispered to Shuyue and her aunt, "Initially, Qinghuan always thought that the master was attracted by my talent in plants and trees, and that I could help him refine pills."
Well, isn’t that the case?
Zhao Qing was puzzled: "Isn't it?"
A hint of mischief flashed across Qing Huan's phoenix eyes. "Later, I gradually realized... that the Master only looks at appearances."
"Back then, I was attracted by Qing Huan's appearance, figure, and temperament. It had nothing to do with Tongshi Dancao."
"Qing Huan's appearance is not absolutely beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes are gentle and peaceful, her lips are plump and her nose is tall, which just happens to suit the master's preferences."
"What the master said about innate spiritual roots is just an excuse."
"He only recognizes appearance and body."
Zhao Qing: ???
Damn it!
Zhou Xiaoyi fluttered her beautiful eyes and added, "I also recognize beautiful legs and snow-white feet..."
·
Three days later.
Changshengfang is the house at the deepest part of Huashu Lane.
The bedroom is warm and comfortable.
The slender legs trembled slightly, and the aunt handed her delicate snow-white feet to Zhao Qing's arms, watching him carefully apply nail polish on her.
The female cultivators and guest officials from the Xueyi Tower in Songshanfang have all been settled in this alley.
Although none of the acquaintances of the Changsheng Sword Sect were in the town, to use the practice residence...all one had to do was hand over the spirit stones, and there wasn't any need for overly complicated procedures.
The slender feet are beautiful and white, with charming crimson embellishments on the crystal jade toes.
Even after more than ten years together, Zhou Xiaoyi still enjoys this very much.
In fact, she didn't think that toes painted in rouge were particularly beautiful. Instead, she thought it was a bit wanton and an eyesore.
She just loved the process.
Enjoying Zhao Qing's tolerance and care for herself, when her slender feet were held tightly and carefully caressed by her man, it seemed as if all the unhappiness and boredom would disappear without a trace.
The wife leaned on the side and said, "It's already the beginning of the year, and the Taoyuan Garden at the end of the alley is still open."
Zhao Qing held up his slender feet and admired his masterpiece, muttering to himself, "I can't sell it."
"The spiritual peaches nowadays are much less effective than in previous years."
"The effect of one spiritual peach may not be as good as three or five Qi Condensation Pills."
Huashu Lane is right in the center of Changshengfang, very close to the peach orchard.
However, after the Changsheng Sword Sect lost the secret ruins, the magical peaches in the sect gradually lost their magical effects and could no longer cleanse the meridians and eliminate the poison.
Zhou Xiaoyi's eyes were like water. She pulled back her slender feet and leaned over to suck the man's fingers to show her obedience and submission.
Since her husband was so tolerant and caring towards her, she could completely abandon her pride and dignity to make Zhao Qing more comfortable and happy.
Zhao Qing didn't bully Xiaoyi too much. He just pinched her slightly hot ears and teased her red lips a few times.
It's noon.
The family of four walked out of the house slowly, planning to visit Shen Mo and Liu Zijing together, and by the way, visit Liu Pan at Changsheng Sword.
The guest officials and female practitioners of Songshanfang are all here now, and they have not returned to Songshan to live.
After all, it's a mess over there, most of the market town has been destroyed, and it won't be settled for the time being.
The State of Chu was a small country, and Changshengfang was not unfamiliar to Zhao Qing's family.
Under the warm sunshine, the ice and snow melted.
There were many figures on the wide street, most of them were cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.
The guest officials and female cultivators they settled basically did not wander around the market town, but chose to practice in silence with the help of the spirit gathering array.
My aunt was wearing a brocade gown with a red belt around her waist. The swaying rings and pendants reflected the sunlight, making her look very dazzling.
She took Qing Huan's arm and whispered, "I lived in Shangchu Town in my early years and hadn't met you yet."
"I always wanted to come here to see the peach blossoms, but I didn't catch the opportunity that year."
Peach blossoms will only bloom around the time of Jingzhe, and the blooming period is very short, about three to five days before they wither.
Zhao Qing and his family entered Taoyuan.
All that can be seen are lonely dead branches. The once popular Changshengfang peaches are no longer in demand.
The dry branches looked somewhat hideous. Looking around... the entire Taoyuan was desolate, with only ice, snow and accumulated water reflecting the sunlight.
Zhao Qing glanced around casually and saw a few disciples of Changsheng Sword outside a house in the distance, chatting idly.
This is not his first time here.
A few years ago, when I was passing by with Qing Huan, I bought some spiritual peaches. Each one cost 800 spiritual stones...
Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly.
He temporarily stopped the operation of the Azure Dragon Blood Codex, and used his vast spiritual power to activate the top-grade wood spiritual roots hidden in his Taoist foundation, and applied it to the dead branches in front of him.
Sensing the spiritual energy emanating from her husband, Shuyue's eyes gradually lit up.
I saw that the originally withered branches gradually sprouted new buds, and the visible growth turned into new branches.
Between the short and lush green petals, touches of peach color began to appear.
The ice and snow intertwined with the warm sun, the twisted and colorful peach branches were broken off, and the small flowers bloomed freely, revealing a light pink and white like gauze.
Rich fragrance, brilliant and beautiful.
My aunt smiled.
There seemed to be ripples in her beautiful eyes. She took the peach branch and pinned it between her waist belt, calling out sweetly: "Dad~"
……
"Daoyou, would you like to buy some spiritual peaches?"
Lin Chuan was sent here by his senior brothers to sell the spiritual fruits he had accumulated last year.
Even if you know the chances of selling it are slim, you still have to try.
His eyes swept over the peach branch on the waist of the cold woman, and anticipation gradually arose in his heart... A cultivator who can use the wood method to nourish peach blossoms must be in the late stage of Qi training, and should not care much about the price of the spiritual peaches.
Zhao Qing glanced sideways slightly, looking up and down at the male cultivator in front of him.
"How many spirit stones?"
Lin Chuan was overjoyed, but then felt a little embarrassed. After all, the price was set by the sect, and he himself felt it was expensive.
"Ten spirit stones... one."
Zhao Qing's consciousness swept over the pile of spiritual peaches, and he chuckled and stroked his wife's hair: "Two hundred."
The price of peaches that once cost eight hundred spirit stones is now a bargain.
Although the effect is very weak, it can be kept to satisfy your cravings.
Under Lin Chuan's astonished and dazed gaze, Zhao Qing handed over two thousand spirit stones and directly used his spiritual sense to select two hundred spirit peaches and put them into the storage ring.
Taoyuan remained dead silent until the wealthy guest left with the three beauties.
On the long street in the south of the city.
My aunt took slow steps, playing with the peach branch in her hand and chuckled, "Are you planning to give it to Zeng Nianke?"
"Ah."
"There aren't many spirit stones. Let the cultivators in the trading house divide them up, and there will still be a lot left for Liu Pan."
Zhao Qing is a very selfish person, but influenced by Qinghuan over the years, he is also willing to take care of the lower-level cultivators.
I got here the same way. Two thousand spirit stones are nothing for the garrison of the merchant shop.
He knew very well that even as a Blood-robed Guest, he did not have many resources to use for cultivation.
Wang Shuyue walked lightly and said in a crisp voice, "When my husband first started refining pills, he wanted to spend every spirit stone in half."
"It takes a lot of heart to buy the demon rabbit if you can eat it."
Zhao Qing smiled and sighed: "Come to think of it, I have to thank Pei Jin for helping me."
When I got into Pei Jin's car, I earned 5,000 spirit stones by refining pills in a month, which was my first pot of gold in the true sense.
Otherwise, even if he had the alchemy experience provided by the panel, it would not be easy for him to earn resources by slowly snowballing his meager family background.
As the four of them walked along, the number of wandering cultivators wandering around the outskirts of Changshengfang gradually decreased.
Shu Yue didn't know what she was thinking about. She suddenly leaned against her husband and smiled, "I've never seen my husband treat the guests of the merchant house so well before."
Zhao Qing casually responded: "After all, the profits our family has received over the years all came from the merchant shop."
"Oh... then if there are only guest officials and no female cultivators, will my husband still buy spiritual peaches for them?"
Zhao Qing was slightly stunned. Am I the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman?
