I conquer the immortal with my strength

"It turns out that senior lives in Qingfeng Ju. They are really our next-door neighbors. This Yinlong Residence is rented by our husband and wife, and there are no elders here. If senior doesn't mind, you might as well come in and sit for a while." Xia Daoming Smiled.

"You actually rented this Hidden Dragon Residence yourself?" The woman in green couldn't help showing a look of surprise when she heard this.

But soon, the woman in green clothes recovered her smile and praised: "You are really a formidable person!"

But when she said this, a hint of contempt flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"Senior, thank you!" Xia Daoming said modestly.

"This Hidden Dragon Residence used to live in a good friend of mine, but he has never come back since he left half a year ago. I just passed by here and saw something moving inside. I thought he was back, so I hurried back I took a portion of the fairy mist tea I brought back from Ziyun Mountain a while ago.

As a result, I didn't expect that the Hidden Dragon Residence had changed owners. It seemed that he would probably never come back. If you don't mind my nagging, I'll go in and sit down for a while so that we all can get to know each other. This fairy mist tea will be used as a meeting gift, so don't dislike it. "The woman in Tsing Yi said, holding a beautifully wrapped gift in her hand, and handed it to Xia Daoming.

"How could it be possible? Seniors, please come in." Xia Daoming bowed slightly and invited.

Soon, the group returned to the Zizhu Pavilion.

At this time, the sun has not set yet, the lake surface is shimmering, and there is mist rising, lingering around the islands in the distance. There are several spiritual birds and cranes flying in the sky, like a fairyland.

Xia Daoming invited the woman in Tsing Yi to sit down.

Ji Wenyue sat beside him.

Liu Qiaolian was busy serving refreshments and making tea.

After introducing himself, Xia Daoming quickly learned that the woman's name was Hu Qiuyi, a casual cultivator.

The reason for renting here is to take advantage of the aura environment here, as well as the vast resources and information of Evergreen City, to find opportunities to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

Generally speaking, second-level spiritual veins can meet the daily practice needs of foundation-building monks.

However, when cultivating in the spiritual vein cave of the second level or above, relatively speaking, foundation-building monks have a greater chance of understanding the great avenue and making breakthroughs.

However, spiritual veins of the second level and above are almost all controlled by those powerful cultivating families and sects with fake elixirs, golden elixirs, or even Yuanying ancestors. It is difficult for casual cultivators like Hu Qiuyi to have spiritual veins of the second level and above.

Even if you get it by chance, it is difficult to keep it.

Those powerful cultivating families and sects that control spiritual veins of the second level and above. Casual cultivators like Hu Qiuyi, or foundation-building monks like Lu Jinglong who are just heads of small-power families. If they want to practice in places with spiritual veins of the second level or above, there are only two A way.

One is to join those forces with second-level spiritual veins and above and do work for them.

One is to rent Hualingshi.

Generally speaking, there are very few people in the entire Daliang Kingdom who have the ability and courage to rent out areas with level 2 or higher spiritual veins to outsiders for cultivation, and Evergreen City of Qingyuan Sect is one of them.

Things are rare and valuable.

Because of this, rental prices around Evergreen Lake are very expensive.

But even so, it cannot stop some people's desire to become strong.

They would rather spend all their savings to take a chance on Evergreen Lake.

Hu Qiuyi told Xia Daoming that the most people who come to rent in Evergreen Lake are foundation-building monks who are stuck at the breakthrough point or have reached a bottleneck in their practice. These people come to have a try and gamble their wealth.

Next are the foundation-building monks who are wealthy, then the Qi-Refining Perfection monks, and then the monks whose elders are very wealthy, such as them.

As she said that, Hu Qiuyi started to gossip about Xia Daoming's origins.

However, Xia Daoming was a mature man in two lifetimes, so how could he reveal his true identity to a foundation-building monk he had just met.

He looked around and gave ambiguous answers.

In the end, Xia Daoming got a lot of information from Hu Qiuyi, but Hu Qiuyi seemed to get some information, but seemed to get nothing.

Soon, Hu Qiuyi left with some disappointment.

She could tell that Xia Daoming was a bit cunning and unwilling to reveal his true background.

But regardless of whether Xia Daoming revealed it or not, Hu Qiuyi had already determined that there was at least one wealthy foundation-building elder standing behind him.

And this foundation-building elder is very likely to be in the late stage or even the peak of foundation-building.

Otherwise, how could he, a sixth-level Qi Refining monk, afford to live in such a place?

In fact, even a foundation-building monk would go bankrupt if he stayed in a place like this for many years without a large source of spiritual stone harvest.

"Master, the people who live in this place are really either rich or noble! Look, the greeting gift given to Senior Hu is worth twenty or thirty spiritual stones." After Hu Qiuyi left, Liu Qiaolian couldn't help but sigh.

"So the circle is very important. You see, we live in a place like this. We don't have to do anything, and others come to give us spiritual stones." Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"You have a good idea. If someone brings a gift to your door, don't you need to return a gift someday?" Ji Wenyue smiled and rolled her eyes at Xia Daoming.

"Nine out of ten people living here are foundation-building monks. As juniors, even if we have to reciprocate the gift, a little bit of kindness is enough." Xia Daoming said.

Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue were both shocked when they heard this.

Sometimes, they really can't see through their men.

When he gets serious, he is really a man who is upright and upright.

But when he wasn't being serious, he was so shameless that it left people speechless.

Qingfengju.

"Who are the people who live in Hidden Dragon? What kind of cultivation level are they?" An old man with a skinny face asked Hu Qiuyi.

"They are just three young men at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They originally wanted to lure out the elders behind them, but it turned out that young man was very cunning and did not reveal his life or death." Hu Qiuyi replied, the soft smile on her face was no longer there, but With a hint of sullenness and annoyance.

"It's completely unnecessary to live in the Hidden Dragon Residence on the sixth level of Qi Refining. It seems that the elders behind them are very extraordinary. They are so willing to waste spiritual stones!" The old man with a skinny face said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, at least it is in the late stage of foundation building. It is even possible that they are descendants of the ancestors of fake elixirs and golden elixirs. They are tired of staying in the mountains and want to live a different life in a prosperous and lively place." Hu Qiuyi said .

"In this case, don't worry about them. They are only at the sixth level of Qi Refining anyway. Even if they carry some spiritual stones, they probably won't be much. If they really provoke the elders behind them to pursue them, it will be troublesome.

It is better to be a casual cultivator like Wan Yanfeng. Not only can he carry a lot of belongings with him, but as long as he does it cleanly, there will be no future troubles. " said the skinny old man.

"Well, that's what I think too. Anyway, I just did it more than half a year ago. It's enough for us to spend some years practicing here, and we can live happily for ten to eight years." Hu Qiuyi said.

"Time flies. Even though we still have decades to live, the end is coming in the blink of an eye. So, you have to spend more energy on Shangrui's line.

If we can really capture her, then we can really live in peace for many years, and we can also move to Qinglongxuan for a long time. That is one of the nodes of the spiritual veins under the Evergreen Lake. After practicing there for many years, there is a glimmer of hope for elixir formation, at least for the later stages of foundation building. " said the skinny old man.

"Shang Rui, that old woman, has a withdrawn personality. It's really hard to get along with her. If it weren't for the fact that she is an alchemist, her savings must be extremely amazing. I really don't want to suffer that." Hu Qiuyi said.

——

Changqing Lake, Baizeju.

On this day, Shangrui, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the lake, suddenly twitched his nose and glanced in the direction of Yinlongju with a hint of surprise.

But soon, a sarcastic look appeared at the corner of her mouth, she looked away, and then slowly closed her eyes again.

The sun gradually rose from behind the Qingyuan Fairy Mountain, eventually spreading its dazzling golden light over the entire Evergreen City.

At this time, a transmission note flew in.

"Sister Rui, are you at home? I happened to pass by Yunxiangzhai today and saw the Qionghua Jade Dew Cake that they just made today. I knew that Sister Rui liked it the most, so I bought some."

The sound transmission turned into Hu Qiuyi's soft and sweet voice.

Shang Rui heard Hu Qiuyi's voice, and a smile appeared on his face with few wrinkles in the sunshine.

But soon, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by an aloof and cold look that was distant from others.

"Just open the door and come in!" Shangrui made a magic spell with his fingers and said in a cold voice.

Outside the door, the smile on Hu Qiuyi's face did not change when she heard the words. She opened the door gently and walked through the courtyard in a familiar way to the terrace facing Changqing Lake.

"Sister Rui, I haven't made any elixirs today, so I can try the newly baked Qionghua Jade Dew Cake." Hu Qiuyi smiled and raised a delicate basket in her hand.

"Yeah!" Shangrui nodded coldly.

Upon seeing this, Hu Qiuyi sat down next to her, took out the cakes and placed them on the table, then took out the teapot and started boiling tea.

"Sister Rui, do you know? A few days ago, three new people moved into Yinlong Residence. What do you think they are?" Hu Qiuyi asked while making tea.

"Hidden Dragon Residence?" Shangrui thought of the breath that came from before, which was the breath that could only be found when the furnace was opened to take elixirs. The expression on his face couldn't help but change slightly, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to his aloofness and indifference. He didn't answer Hu Qiuyi's question, but just picked up a Qionghua Jade Cake.

Seeing that Shang Rui didn't bother to answer, Hu Qiuyi was not embarrassed, but paused and continued: "It turned out to be just a young man at the sixth level of Qi Refining, accompanied by a sixth-level Qi Refining wife and a sixth-level Qi Refining girl. The concubine on the sixth floor, I don’t know the young man’s background, but he lives in the Hidden Dragon Residence on the sixth floor of Qi Refining.”

Shang Rui's expression once again changed slightly when she heard this, but it returned to its original appearance in the blink of an eye. But this time, she finally said: "I'm just a dandy who relies on the blessing of my elders and only knows how to squander and doesn't know how to be thrifty." "

"Sister Rui is right. Otherwise, just a sixth-level Qi Refining monk, let alone Evergreen Lake, would be fine if he could find a decent residence in the outer city.

However, the sixth floor of Qi Refining only lives in Changqing Lake. The elders behind it are probably quite extraordinary, and maybe they are also a skilled alchemist like Sister Rui. Only alchemists like you are willing to spend such money. "Hu Qiuyi said.

It was rare for Shangrui to be mentioned in conversation, so Hu Qiuyi immediately continued on the topic and flattered Shangrui along the way.

"It's not easy to make money in any profession, and it's not easy to be an alchemist either. You see, I wasted most of my life in the early stage of refining alchemy and delayed my practice. Later I tried to catch up, but it was already too late. Now the deadline is approaching, no matter how many spiritual stones I have. What's the use?" Shangrui shook his head.

There was a hint of loneliness and sadness on the cold and rigid face.

"Ah, Sister Rui, your time is coming soon? How can this life be good? How can this life be good!" Hu Qiuyi said with a panicked and sad face, but there was a hint of surprise in the depths of her eyes.

This is an important message.

"It depends on the opportunity. If the opportunity is good and you can get the elixir and fruit that extend your life, there may be hope." Shangrui said.

"Foundation-building monks have already changed their lives against the will of heaven, and their life span is two hundred, which is not comparable to ordinary people. Therefore, it is easy for ordinary people to extend their lives by ten or eight years, but it is difficult for us!

Even if there is a life-extending elixir and fruit, the price must be extremely expensive, no... I forgot about Sister Rui's identity. Lingshi is not the problem. The key is that such elixir and fruit appear.

Sister Rui, don't worry, good people have their own destiny. The Evergreen City is backed by the Qingyuan Gate and is home to immortal cultivators from all over the world. As long as you inquire carefully, there may be such elixirs and fruits. I will try my best to help Sister Rui inquire about them. "Hu Qiuyi said.

"Let it go!" Shangrui said, and then fell silent. Hu Qiuyi was talking to herself.

Even so, Hu Qiuyi still stayed in Bai Zeju for half a day, and she always smiled without any impatience.

After Hu Qiuyi left, Bai Zeju became quiet again.

Shang Rui watched Hu Qiuyi leave, with a hint of tenderness deep in his eyes.

She and Hu Qiuyi got to know each other due to a chance encounter.

Hu Qiuyi said that she resembled one of her late sisters and called her sister, which struck a chord with her.

Later, it was discovered that both of them lived in the same area of ​​Changqing Lake, so Hu Qiuyi came to visit her every now and then.

Shang Rui, who was used to being alone, was a little repelled at first, but every time Hu Qiuyi talked about her sister, Shang Rui softened a little and did not issue an eviction order.

After several years of this, Shang Rui gradually remained cold on the surface, but he no longer rejected Hu Qiuyi in his heart. Sometimes, Hu Qiuyi was not here for a long time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because today's talk about the deadline disturbed his calm state of mind, or maybe it was because he lived in the Hidden Dragon Residence at the sixth level of Qi refining, and could also make alchemy, and he heard that the aura had reached the first-order high-grade level, which somewhat aroused Shang's excitement. Rui had a hint of curiosity.

evening.

Shang Rui, who had not been out for many days, rarely went out for a walk along the lake.

Walking along the path by the lake, Shangrui subconsciously raised his eyes when he approached Yinlong Residence.

Under the sunset.

A woman wearing Yunni fairy clothes was sitting alone on the eaves admiring the lake view. She also held a handful of pills in her hand, and from time to time she would take one to feed a golden eagle standing next to her.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently shines on the side face of a woman, reflecting the golden feathers of the golden eagle carving, giving her outline a faint golden glow. Her hair fluttered gently, like ribbons in the breeze.

"Yue'er!" Shang Rui's body trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Ji Wenyue felt someone coming and looking at her, and subconsciously turned her head to look.

He saw an old woman with a childish face and white hair, wearing a gray robe, who was looking at her blankly.

When Ji Wenyue saw that she was an old woman and not a prodigal in the world of immortality, she immediately smiled at Shangrui and waved her hand politely from a distance.

"It's so similar, so similar!" When Shang Rui saw Ji Wenyue turn her head, the expression on her face became more and more surprised, she murmured, and her eyes turned red unknowingly.

Soon, Shangrui, who had always been lonely, took the initiative to walk towards Yinlongju.

Ji Wenyue saw Shangrui walking towards Yinlongju and quickly flew down from the eaves.

"Wenyue has met senior." Ji Wenyue took the initiative to open the door and bowed humbly to Shang Rui.

"Wenyue? Your name is Wenyue?" Shangrui looked a little excited.

"Yes, senior, has he heard of my name?" Ji Wenyue said with a confused look.

She regrets it now.

The old woman looked at her a little strangely, as if she was mentally disturbed.

Fortunately, Evergreen Lake is the core and most upscale area of ​​Evergreen City.

There are more than twenty small islands dotted in the lake. There is a Golden Pill Patriarch, two Fake Pill Patriarchs and many Foundation-Building Monks stationed there all year round. No one dares to commit murder or cause trouble here.

Therefore, Ji Wenyue is not worried that this woman will do harm to her.

"My sister, it's only been a month." Shangrui replied, her expression had returned to calmness, but the way she looked at Ji Wenyue was not as cold as she looked at others, but with a touch of kindness and kindness.

"I see, that's a coincidence." Ji Wenyue said.

"Is your master here? Shangrui, who lives in Bai Zeju, wants to meet him." Shangrui said.

"It turns out that you are senior Shangrui from Bai Zeju. Senior Hu Qiuyi mentioned you a while ago and said that you are a master of alchemy!" Ji Wenyue looked at Shangrui and said with surprise on his face.

At the beginning, Hu Qiuyi specially reminded them that Shang Rui was relatively withdrawn and did not like to be disturbed.

It's just that Ji Wenyue would naturally not say this.

"It turns out Qiu Yi has already mentioned me to you, so I don't need to waste any more words." Shangrui said.

"Wenyue, Senior Shang is here. Why don't you invite her to come in?" At this moment, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian had heard the news and came together.

Ji Wenyue was slightly startled when she heard this, and then said quickly: "Senior, I'm sorry, please come in."

Shang Rui glanced at Xia Daoming with a slight frown, his eyes a little disdainful and cold, then nodded to Ji Wenyue, entered the courtyard, and then entered the living room.

The three of them sat down respectively, and Liu Qiaolian went to prepare tea and snacks.

"I was breathing alchemy energy by the lake this morning and smelled a hint of alchemy. You must be refining alchemy. I wonder which alchemist you studied under?" Shangrui sat down and looked at Xia Daoming. asked expressionlessly.

"Senior, I misunderstood. It was Wen Yue who made the alchemy. I don't have much talent in alchemy, but I have some knowledge in identification." Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"It's you!" Shangrui was first surprised, then surprised, and then looked at Xia Daoming with a hint of contempt and disgust in his eyes.

"Yes, junior was thinking a few days ago when he would have the opportunity to ask senior for advice!" Ji Wenyue said.

"Which alchemist did you study under?" Shangrui did not say anything, but instead asked Ji Wenyue's teacher.

"Senior, I didn't have any masters. I just had some records of alchemy and elixir prescriptions at home, so I followed them and studied them. Later I went to collect some alchemy techniques and elixir prescriptions, and gradually I figured out a little bit of the secret." Ji Wenyue replied.

"Self-taught, he can actually refine a first-level high-grade elixir!" Shangrui looked extremely shocked when he heard this.

"How do seniors know that I can refine a first-level high-grade elixir? But the success rate is very low." Ji Wenyue was surprised at first, and then a little embarrassed.

"When you turned on the furnace this morning, I could basically tell by smelling it. As for the low success rate, it's nothing at all. How many alchemists can't refine a high-grade high-grade elixir in their lifetime.

How old are you and you are self-taught? Those alchemists are not even worthy of carrying your shoes. "Shang Rui said that his eyes were shining brightly when he looked at Ji Wenyue.

"I have long said that my Yue'er is a genius in alchemy. Now that Senior Shang has recognized it, it will definitely be true." Xia Daoming smiled proudly, as if he himself was a genius in alchemy.

Seeing Xia Daoming smiling proudly, Shangrui seemed to have thought of something, and looked at him with more disdain and disgust.

Well!

This old woman looks at me more and more wrong!

She doesn’t think I’m just eating Wen Yue’s soft rice, does she?

Or, she has been hurt by men, so she hates handsome men.

It shouldn't be, I'm plain in appearance and harmless to humans and animals.

Xia Daoming soon discovered that there was something wrong with the way Shangrui looked at him, which made him feel very unhappy.

However, he was unhappy because he was old and had a high level of cultivation. The most important thing was that he was an alchemist. He might be able to give Ji Wenyue some pointers, but there was no need to show off and drive her out just because of a few looks from him.

"Ms. Shang, Senior Shang is a master of alchemy. If you say this in front of her, you are not afraid of her laughing." Ji Wenyue rolled her eyes at Xia Daoming when she heard this, then quickly turned to Shang Rui and said, "Senior Shang, don't laugh. Ah, I was just messing around, I will have to ask you for more advice in the future."

"He is right. You are a master of alchemy and can refine a first-grade high-grade elixir without a teacher. You can indeed be regarded as an alchemy genius. However, in addition to diligent alchemy, you also need to practice a lot of exchanges and have the guidance of a master. Keep making progress, avoid detours, and waste less medicinal materials.

Only in this way can alchemy help you continuously accumulate cultivation resources and help you practice faster, instead of getting bored with things and dragging down your practice progress.

Not only do you look like my late sister, but you also have the word "month" in your name, and you are still a next-door neighbor. Speaking of which, you are kind of destined.

If you want me to teach you how to make alchemy, you can, but I have a condition. "After speaking, Shangrui paused and glanced at Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel a little thumped in his heart.

Damn it, if it’s not so bloody, would this old woman ask Ji Wenyue to break up with me?

But not to mention, the old woman's eyebrows do look a bit like Wen Yue's, and I don't know how similar her sister is to Wen Yue.

"Really? What are the conditions, please tell me, Senior Shang." Ji Wenyue didn't think so much, and couldn't help but said with joy after hearing the words.

After so many years of groping alone, Ji Wenyue has accumulated more and more doubts and unanswered questions in her heart. Recently, the progress of alchemy has been slow, and she has long wanted to find someone to ask for advice.

It's just that the alchemist's status is transcendent and noble, and he cherishes his broom very much. He is not a disciple of his own family, so how can he give advice easily?

Now that she finally met an alchemy master who was willing to give her guidance, Ji Wenyue was naturally overjoyed.
