Chapter 74: Here We Go Again

Before leaving, Gao Xian wiped his mouth. Da Niu was still outside, and it wouldn't be good if he saw any drool.

Qiqi on the bed didn't say anything. Gao Xian wasn't sure if she was shy or a bit confused, but he was certain she wasn't angry.

Because just now, Qiqi had been quite cooperative, showing obvious signs of being moved.

Gao Xian also discovered a trick: when interacting with Qiqi, he needed to be more proactive and not talk about emotions seriously. It was too agonizing for both parties.

It was better to be less serious and use physical communication. Everyone would be happy, and it would avoid a lot of awkwardness.

On the other hand, Qiqi had indeed undergone some changes during this period. The most obvious was that her touch had improved significantly.

This meant that Qiqi's physical condition was improving, and her various sensations were slowly recovering.

Gao Xian was very happy for Qiqi. Only when her senses returned to normal could she complete Foundation Building.

Da Niu was still diligently dealing with the scales. Gao Xian didn't know how to help, so he chatted with him for a few words before returning to his own room.

Actually, it would be nice to be intimate with Qiqi, but with Da Niu outside, he couldn't stay in the room all the time.

At noon, Da Niu finished his work, and the stewed meat was ready. The three of them gathered together to enjoy the meat of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger.

The flesh and blood of a second-order demonic beast were very expensive. They couldn't be bought in Feima City at all.

Even Zhu Qiqi had only eaten it a few times at the Zhu family.

The ribs that Da Niu stewed were as thick as an adult's wrist. He picked up a rib and gnawed on it directly. The meat had been stewed for seven or eight hours, giving off a rich meaty aroma and a chewy texture.

If an ordinary person tried to chew it, they probably wouldn't be able to chew it properly.

After eating two bites, Gao Xian felt a strong spiritual energy spreading from his stomach, quickly spreading throughout his body.

The little black cat, who smelled the fragrance, anxiously ran around under the table, meowing incessantly. Gao Xian deliberately teased it, knowing that it was lazy and only cared about eating.

But Zhu Qiqi, feeling sorry for the little black cat, picked it up and gave it a small piece of meat.

The little black cat took a few bites and swallowed the meat whole. Its eyes quickly turned red, and it fainted after meowing twice.

Zhu Qiqi found it amusing and put the little black cat aside. She said to Gao Xian, "It's fine, it's just that the spiritual energy is too strong, so it fainted. It'll be fine after a nap."

She continued, "The meat of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger is rich in spiritual energy and has strong vitality. When you eat it, you should also be careful. Eating too much can be harmful."

Gao Xian also mocked the little black cat, "This guy only knows how to eat. It's getting a taste of its own medicine this time."

After he finished gnawing on a large pork rib, his whole body surged with blood and energy, causing his skin to turn red. Gao Xian only then realized how powerful the meat of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger was, which explained why the little black cat had such a strong reaction.

Even though Da Niu was only at the first level of Qi Refining, he was no match for Gao Xian. At this point, his face was already flushed, and he was sweating so much that his Daoist robe was soaked through.

"Da Niu, don't eat anymore. You won't be able to handle it if you eat too much."

Zhu Qianniang stopped Da Niu, who still wanted to eat meat. "Go to the courtyard and practice the Five Tiger Fist three times."

Da Niu nodded hurriedly. He also felt that the qi and blood in his body were too abundant and about to burst, but he couldn't bear to waste such good demon beast meat and wanted to take a few more bites.

Da Niu ran to the courtyard to practice boxing, and Gao Xian wiped his mouth. He was also full.

The meat of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger was extremely nourishing, with an effect ten times better than that of the Foundation Building Pill.

At this point, his blood and energy were also surging, and he had the urge to practice boxing.

He sighed, "The flesh and blood of a Foundation Building demon beast is still powerful."

Zhu Qianniang said, "The flesh and blood of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger is indeed strong. I have had very good results after eating it.

"I calculated that there are about three thousand jin of Iron Scale Demon Tiger meat, plus the Tiger Blood Ointment I prepared. It's enough for you to complete your blood cultivation and advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"These flesh and blood will also help you lay a very solid foundation for your physical body, which will be of great benefit to your future cultivation..."

When it came to cultivation, Zhu Qianniang spoke endlessly, explaining the big picture clearly and paying attention to the details.

"It's a pity that I don't know how to make Tiger Bone Marrow Ointment, so the effectiveness of the tiger bones cannot be fully utilized.

"Eating them directly is somewhat wasteful."

Zhu Qianniang felt a little regretful. Tiger Bone Marrow Ointment was a secret technique passed down in the Zhu family, and as an outsider, she didn't know the recipe.

Gao Xian didn't mind, "Not everything can go as planned. We were lucky enough to kill the Iron Scale Demon Tiger, so we shouldn't have too many expectations."

"That's true," Zhu Qianniang nodded. "You should practice the Iron Dragon Hand more. This Body Refining technique can bring out the power of the demon tiger's flesh and blood."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "The Iron Dragon Hand is a secret technique passed down in my family. Don't spread it outside, and don't teach it to Da Niu either."

The Iron Dragon Hand was a secret technique passed down in the family and must not be spread. Although Da Niu was Gao Xian's younger brother from the same family, their relationship was close, but he couldn't be an exception.

It was only because of Gao Xian's special relationship with her that she would pass on the Iron Dragon Hand to him.

She was afraid that Gao Xian would be careless and casually teach the Iron Dragon Hand to Da Niu, which would be troublesome.

"Qiniang, don't worry, I know what to do."

Gao Xian nodded, understanding the importance of the situation, so he wouldn't act recklessly.

It's easy to teach secret techniques, but it's difficult to take them back. Besides, this is Qiniang's secret technique, so he couldn't pass it on to others.

"Feima Ji is too small. I need to go to Lianyun City specifically to handle the demon tiger's scales and crystal core. These are valuable things, and I can't trust anyone else with them."

Zhu Qiniang said, "After all, it's worth several thousand spirit stones. Even Foundation Building cultivators would be tempted."

Gao Xian wasn't in a hurry to use the money. He said, "These things are not urgent. The key is to find out who left the spell imprint on you. We must investigate this thoroughly."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiniang also looked puzzled. She had complete control over the pharmacy, and no one had the audacity to harm her, let alone the ability to lure the Ironclad Tiger to attack her.

If it was someone from the Zhu family, there was no need to resort to such extreme measures.

After all, they hadn't reached the point of tearing their faces apart, and many things could still be negotiated.

Moreover, with the rampant presence of demonic beasts in Feima Ji, it was obvious that someone from outside wanted to cause trouble. The Zhu family couldn't possibly be involved in such matters.

So, who exactly wanted to harm her?

Zhu Qiniang shook her head, "For the moment, I really can't think of who would do such a thing."

Gao Xian speculated, "Someone definitely wants to cause trouble in Feima Ji and deliberately attract demonic beasts. As for why they specifically targeted you, it is indeed strange.

"Could it be that they wanted to kill some experts from Feima Ji and just happened to choose you?"

"Perhaps," Zhu Qiniang thought it was also a possibility. They didn't know anything at the moment, so it was difficult to make a judgment.

She said, "There's been no news about the other Foundation Building demonic beast either, so it should have been dealt with by Li Shuanglin. After all, as a Foundation Building cultivator, he has a huge advantage when facing the same level of demonic beasts."

In terms of strength, Foundation Building demonic beasts were stronger than Foundation Building cultivators. However, the difference in intelligence between the two sides was too great.

Under normal circumstances, Foundation Building cultivators should be able to deal with Foundation Building demonic beasts.

Gao Xian didn't think highly of Li Shuanglin, "What's the use of dealing with demonic beasts? We need to deal with the person causing the problems. This person's abilities are really lacking."

"You can't say that. Feima Ji is mostly made up of independent cultivators with complex backgrounds. It's normal for Li Shuanglin to take some time to figure things out," Zhu Qiniang said. "In any case, we still need to be careful."

Gao Xian instructed, "Come and stay here tonight. It's safer for us to be together. I can also check your body to prevent any harm."

When Zhu Qiniang heard the words "check your body," she glanced at Gao Xian with a complex expression in her eyes.

Gao Xian felt a bit wronged. He really didn't mean anything else. It was just that Qiniang had too many thoughts!

In the evening, Gao Xian was studying the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens technique in his room when he heard someone knocking on the door.

With his mastery of the Great Occult Art, Electric Dragon Palm, and True Yang Spear reaching the Grandmaster level, his perception was exceptionally keen now.

From the frequency and intensity of the knocking, he could tell that it was Qingping.

Why is this woman here again?

Gao Xian didn't have a good impression of Qingping. She was scheming and always tried to lead him astray.

But he couldn't just ignore her. It was obvious that Qingping had a group of people behind her. He had to handle it carefully and avoid any conflicts.

Gao Xian welcomed Qingping into the main room. Before she could even sit down, Qingping asked with concern, "Axian, several powerful demonic beasts broke in last night. I was really worried about you..."

"Ah, Feima Ji is becoming more and more unsafe."

"Yes, I don't know what's going on," Gao Xian sighed along, partly to cooperate with Qingping and partly because he was indeed a bit tired.

Last night was too dangerous. He almost died.

When Qingping heard Gao Xian's words, she felt happy. She said, "Changsheng Hall is completely unreliable. They can't even protect their own boss, so how can they protect you?

"Go with your sister. She will find a safe place for you to refine pills, and you won't have to worry about anything..."

"With such a big mess, it's not easy to leave. Besides, it's winter, and it's inconvenient," Gao Xian casually declined. He couldn't possibly leave with Qingping.

Qingping didn't persuade him further. She knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. She leaned into Gao Xian's arms, rubbing and touching him, using all means.

Qingping was quite attractive, mainly because she had a seductive nature. She knew how to entice people.

Not to mention comparing her to Qiniang, even Zhou Yuling was far inferior.

Gao Xian was itching to be seduced, but he knew that this woman was trouble and he must not get involved.

What the original host did was his own business. If he did it, it would be his own business.

Seeing that it was getting dark and Qingping still hadn't left, it seemed like she wanted to sleep here...

Gao Xian started to panic. If Qiniang came back and saw this, it would be really bad!
