Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 341 Ning's Sharing

White Dew, early morning.

A thin mist shrouded the distant mountains.

On the official road from Danxia City to Shouyun Mountain, the bleak autumn wind blew the dead leaves chasing each other, and the luxurious carriages sped past, raising clouds of dust.

At the end of the winding official road, the dark green and vigorous city wall looks like a giant beast crawling deep in the mountains, quiet but intimidating.

The gate of Siyou City was not opened, and it still seemed very deserted, but the warriors and monks waiting outside the city were already bustling with activity.

Li Dangui, dressed in brocade clothes and jade belt, stood with his hands behind his back on the top of Yu Siyou City. His majestic and vast Jindan realm consciousness had already enveloped many wandering cultivators. While listening to their noisy words, he was also trying to find alchemists with a little talent, intending to pick up a few more young apprentices for his own Dan Pavilion.

"Where are you from, fellow Daoist?"

"Jiangbei Murong clan, my uncle said that there is a great opportunity hidden in the Siyou Sect, and he insisted that I go and look for it."

"Where is this fairy?"

"Um……"

"Tian Xing'er greets fellow Daoist. Xing'er came from Jiuhua."

"Jiuhua? Isn't the Seven Killing Palace in Jiuhua?"

"Hey! Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the Seven Killing Palace has long since moved away from Jiuhua. Jiuhua County is now the territory of the Wu family of the imperial court and belongs to Si You."

"Wu family!?"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion outside the city gate, mostly among young men and women, and there were also some younger generations from various cultivation families. It was quite lively for a while.

Wang Teng had just been promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, and at this moment, he was strolling leisurely on the city wall with Xie Yihan, chatting and laughing while waiting for the arrival of noon.

When Siyou was first established, starting from the time of Bailu Chen, within three days, anyone entering the city could be tested for qualifications and have the opportunity to become a disciple of Siyou Sect.

Originally Shuyue had not planned to recruit so many people. After all, each person has one meal a day. If there were really thousands of menial servants like in the past Danxia Sect... the current manpower in the sect would not be able to handle it all.

But Zhao Qing and his aunt Qinghuan were originally from Danxia, ​​and they knew very well what the new disciples were like.

Most people wouldn't work wholeheartedly for Si You, especially since disciples would have to travel to towns and villages to cultivate their cult. It was fine in Lu Niu County and Changshui County, but if they moved to Wu'an County, Luanli County, or Jiuhua County... it would be fine if disciples embezzled the sect's medicinal food, but if they ran rampant in the countryside, bullying men and women, it would actually affect Si You's cult.

Even if the resources that Siyou Sect gave to its disciples were sufficient for them to cultivate and still have a surplus, there were many ways to complete tasks and obtain contributions from the sect, and the value of contributions in Siyou City was also extremely high...

But this can only provide better resources and environment for disciples who work hard.

But the temperaments of the disciples are ultimately mixed.

Some people think of living a miserable life to get the most basic resources, some people think of taking advantage of the sect to arm themselves, and even worse, some people use the name of Si You to oppress the common people and warriors... These are all foreseeable.

Or perhaps some of the wandering cultivators were just curious and wanted to join Si You to have a look around, or perhaps they just wanted to play with a few young and beautiful female disciples...

As people who have been through this, Zhao Qing and Qing Huan knew the ins and outs of it very well. They figured that within a month or two, about 10% of the sect's disciples would leave on their own.

Although Si You occupied the four southwestern counties of Chu State, this was not the Changsheng Sword Sect after all.

If a casual cultivator is lucky enough to join the Changsheng Sword Sect, he will definitely not run away when he gets bored. But if it is the Siyou Sect that was just established not long ago... it is hard to say.

Fortunately, my aunt and Hong Ning have already agreed on a very complete response plan, and Si He can also intuitively feel the subtle changes in incense burning in various places, so he is not too afraid of any unexpected problems.

At present, the county governors and county and township officials of the four southwestern counties of Chu State have all been replaced. They are all officials transferred from all parts of Chu State. They can also play a supervisory role while stabilizing the incense.

Si You's incense business is about to expand to the four southwestern counties of Chu State and deep into the mountains...

at the same time.

There are already more than 30 shops open in Siyou City, but they only sell the lowest-level talismans and formations, ordinary military skills, or allow disciples to sell their idle resources.

Many of the disciples who originally worked in the countryside near Shouyun Mountain were transferred back to Siyou City to temporarily run shops for Siyou Sect.

There weren't many resources for sale in the sect. They were all temporarily prepared by Luo Xianning and the Zhou family, as well as the incomplete spells and formations that couldn't be sold at all in the Blood Robe Building... They were just trying to open a business first, and to a certain extent, lay the foundation for the future Siyou City.

Disciples who have made great achievements have more contributions in hand. They can use their contributions to exchange for houses in the city, or three or five disciples can work together to exchange for shops.

While helping to manage new disciples, these people can also develop their own families and accumulate resources - transforming from initial executors to managers of the sect and collaborators in shop operations, and eventually becoming the pillars of the Siyou Sect. If they continue to expand the incense in the future... they can be put wherever they are needed.

The Tianxiang Tower, which was originally extremely deserted in the city, now welcomes many distinguished guests.

Qixiu was busy serving tea and water to several musicians, and from time to time she would secretly glance at Bai Wanqiu who was chatting and laughing with a strange Yuanying woman.

Luo Xianning helped her with the busy work with a smile in her beautiful eyes. Xianning was also half the master of Siyou Sect. She was also a neighbor of Qixiu on the mountainside, and the two had known each other for a long time.

The woman in Taoist robes whom Qixiu had never seen before was naturally Qin Chuxin.

In addition, Chen Changsheng, Liu Zijing, and Bai Wanqiu also came here, saying that they came to watch the ceremony, but in fact they planned to take the opportunity to meet Empress Si You. Even Cheng Yue followed them.

He originally didn't want to come, but he couldn't stand Qin Chuxin's ridicule. Moreover, he and the Empress had been neighbors for decades, so he really wanted to visit. At least he came with everyone...it would be less likely to get beaten.

Bai Wanqiu gently pressed her delicate jade hand, gently signaling her and Qixiu to stop working. However, she did not forget to tease Cheng Yue: "Master Cheng is Si You's old boss, why don't you take us around the city?"

Cheng Yue coughed lightly and replied with a casual smile, "Then let's go for a walk. Elder Li of the Siyou Sect also followed me back to Zizhu in the past. I just happened to send him over to show us the way and introduce him."

Luo Xianning nodded lightly: "Then Xianning will send a message to Dan Gui now."

This is absolutely true.

Siyou City was expanded from Danxia Sect, Zhao Qing's family was also from Danxia, ​​and Empress Siyou was Danxia's neighbor whom they hadn't seen for more than seventy years... Cheng Yue could really be considered the old boss here.

……

In just a moment, a group of Yujing monks followed Cheng Yue and Dan Gui, chatting and laughing as they wandered around Siyou City.

Li Yan's Situ siblings and Cheng Buyi also came, but did not join them in the stroll. Instead, they stayed with Shen Mo in the Blood Clothes Tower, waiting to help Si Youzong test the disciples' aptitude and cultivation.

The huge Siyou stretches across nearly ten thousand miles in the southwest of Chu State. Now that the mountain gate has just opened, there are many people who come here from other counties and cities... Zeng Nianke and Wang Teng Qixiu alone are definitely not able to take care of it, and they themselves have no experience in recruiting disciples.

Even if Zhao Qing's entire family was involved, it would still be too much to handle and would only bring trouble upon oneself.

We can only rely on the Changsheng Sword Sect, Qianyuan Palace Ice Valley and Danxia Sect to help share the burden.

When Chen Changsheng and others came here, they also brought a few relatively reliable inner disciples with them to help Si Youzong test the disciples' roots.

Now that Zhao Qing is the son of Yongning, even if Si He is not present, everyone will come to watch the ceremony and stroll around, so helping with these small favors is nothing.

`

However, in the palace garden on the top of Shouyun Mountain, everything was still the same as usual.

In the small quiet room next to the bedroom.

Zhao Qingfu fell at the desk, silently trying to engrave the Dust-Sealing Formation. As his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power worked together to draw the formation pattern, a radiant light occasionally flowed on the dark blue formation plate.

Fortunately, he had experience in refining pills, and his control over spiritual power and consciousness was enough to complete a dust-sealing formation. It was just that studying the formula and the basics of the formation would take some time.

The Dust Sealing Formation can obscure spiritual consciousness. Although it is an extremely common formation, it often has miraculous effects in various trials...

It is certainly impossible to bring talismans and formation plates into Longyuan Zhengfeng, but if you understand the art of formations, you can obviously use local materials to set up some simple formations. As for these details that are related to success or failure, Zhao Qing naturally studied with his aunt and kept making up for them.

In addition to the Dust Sealing Formation, Li Yan's Sutra of Refining the Nerves and Bodhi's Seven Silent Heart Sutras had also long been in Zhao Qing's hands. In recent days, he had been studying the techniques day and night.

When Lian Shenjing was sent to Siyou's Blood Robe Tower, his Blood Jade Token also changed. Now it can be exchanged for Blood Son-level resources and magical powers.

Such as the ice monster's cold blood that can enhance the Burning Heart ability alone, or the Return to Oneness technique that makes the meridians more resilient, the defensive technique of using the Azure Dragon's blood to suppress the Niwan... In addition, there are more than a dozen rare blood stones for the blood son to try one after another, and choose the rare material that best suits his current state of practice to further condense the qi and blood.

Before the Qianlong Abyss was opened, no blood son would lack spirit stones for contribution. Zhao Qing naturally exchanged all of these resources that could enhance qi and blood and improve meridians, and tried to use them one by one.

As for the blood son's secret method "Dyeing Flower Transformation" that Pang Zhen had reminded him of, he has not been able to get it yet. This secret method requires unique medicinal herbs and materials, which have to be temporarily prepared from the Zizhu lineage. Now he can only wait.

My aunt had a gentle expression on her face, supporting her cheek and quietly accompanying Zhao Qing by his side.

When Zhao Qing was tired of studying the formation, she would occasionally joke and indulge herself with her father in the small room.

In recent days, Qinghuan has also been left here. Not only can she be supervised to practice diligently, but she can also serve herself and her master. Isn't it wonderful?

Of course, there is no need to say much about my aunt's personality. She would not really torture Qinghuan on purpose. She was so distressed that she just felt that with Qinghuan by her side, Zhao Qing would not be so bored after practicing.

Qing Huan was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this moment, gathering spiritual energy with the help of her transformed natal Gu butterfly, which reshaped her cultivation while nourishing her new body and meridians. In just one month, she had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

To ordinary cultivators, this is almost a genius, but in fact it is just an ordinary situation.

Qing Huan was originally at the foundation-building stage, so retraining Qi training wouldn't take any detours. Furthermore, she was cultivating the White Jade method. Si He often accompanied her in exploring the White Jade essence, using resources and rare treasures from the Blood Child level. Zhao Qing would adjust the pill formula at any time, refining pills more suitable for her current situation, and Hong Ning would often assist her with the Heavenly Fragrance secret method...

Not to mention in the State of Chu, even in the entire Yongning Province, no Qi-cultivating cultivator has ever received such treatment.

……

In the spacious and bright bedroom, Si He and Shu Yue found another interesting thing. These days, they were immersed in it with Hong Ning and couldn't extricate themselves.

The three of them sat casually on the huge bed, each holding a jade bottle of fragrant flower dew in their hands, and were immersed in mixing their favorite flavors.

On the warm jade ground, colorful porcelain bottles were placed everywhere, more than 200 kinds!

They are extracted from different spiritual flowers and herbs, and some are taken from thousand-year-old stone milk minerals, as well as various auxiliary fragrant dews secretly passed down by the Tianxiang lineage.

Hong Ning loves to play. After playing mahjong with Aunt Sihe for a while, she also shared her fun with them in various ways.

A few days ago, when she followed Bai Wanqiu to Xianghen Sea to exchange resources, she spent more than 1.7 million contributions to purchase all the flower dew and mineral milk she could get her hands on.

These exotic juices each have their own uses, ranging from the small-scale Lanyan Grass Dew that soothes the mind and nourishes the muscles, the Cypress Fruit Dew that dredges the meridians and heals injuries, the Rosa Mineral Fluid that clears the mind and nourishes the Niwan... to the larger-scale Six Anise Dew that invigorates the Heavenly Chong and invigorates fighting spirit, the Thousand Layer Snow that stimulates wandering souls and aids the Golden Elixir, and even the Mysterious Sea Heart that stabilizes the Three Souls and accelerates the transformation of the elixir into an infant...

More than 200 kinds of rare dew have different effects and naturally have different smells. Some are suitable for spiritual practice but are colorless and odorless, some have extremely strange fragrances but can only nourish the body, the smell of mineral milk and stone liquid is mostly oppressive and heavy, and the smell of floral dew is mostly fresh and sweet.

Shuyue had only been shared with Ningmei once, and she had already fallen in love with it. The two worked together and tried to mix various flower dews in proportion, determined to make a dew that was suitable for a family to practice and had a subtle and joyful scent.

Si He even put forward another opinion.

Dews from flowers, fruits, tangerines, plums, etc. are refreshing and cheerful but have a weaker smell, so it is better to add more.

The juices of strange rocks and plants have different scents and lasting fragrance, making them suitable for blending according to different aromas.

The scent of the thousand-year-old cream and magical stone milk is even more rich and mellow, and a little bit of it can add a subtle layer of depth to the scent of dew...

The red lemons were arguing about which dew was suitable for playing, which was suitable for spiritual practice, which scent was suitable for bathing, and which scent was suitable for sitting and drinking...

The three of them chatted back and forth, completely complicating the originally simple matter, but also making it extremely interesting.

It's like solving a puzzle, like creating, like playing a game, and also like searching for the most delicate balance between the essence of heaven and earth.

In short, now that Shuyue and Sihe have encountered this kind of thing, there is no turning back.

My aunt and Qinghuan also try to mix their own favorite dew from time to time, but my aunt obviously still prefers the fresh and sour floral and fruity scents, while Qinghuan prefers the slightly heavier but profound taste with a hint of grass and wood.

Zhao Qing was quite happy when he saw this. It was rare for the family to have a new activity, and Si He liked it very much. Qing Huan was also willing to play and have fun with him. It was enough for them to be able to relax a little after practicing.

Until mid-morning.

The gates of Siyou City were wide open, and countless warriors and cultivators filed in.

Zhao Qing and Qing Huan stopped practicing, took a bath and relaxed with their aunt, then called Shu Yue and Ning Mei to go strolling in Si You City together.

Si He took a step forward and went directly from the bedroom filled with the fragrance of dew to the Xuanji Pavilion in the southwest corner of Siyou City. While waiting for Chen Changsheng and others to come and visit him, he did not forget to bring the rich and exotic fragrance he had just mixed, intending to put it in a few blind boxes and sell them.

The square in the center of Siyou City was already packed with people.

"Lu Hongnian, peak Xiantian, mid-grade wood spirit root, go to the west city deacon Wang's office and wait!"

"Tang Yan, Qi training level six, medium-grade wood spiritual roots, can go to the Dan Fu Xiaofang in the north of the city and wait for Fairy Luo!"

"Du Yingxue, Qi training level one, mixed spiritual roots, temporarily stays in Danxia City for further review!"

"Sun Pengfei, Qi training level three, top-grade fire spirit root, can go to the South City Pill Pavilion and wait for Elder Li!"

"..."

A pretty woman with bright eyes and white teeth was standing at the edge of the crowd with her husband, chatting and laughing as they watched.

She was wearing a light blue water dress, and her waterfall-like black hair was embellished with delicate earrings. She was still bright and lively in movement, but with a deeper gentleness than before.

"Husband..."

"Ok?"

Shuyue pursed her lips and smiled, then stood on tiptoe in the noisy and chaotic crowd and offered her moist cherry lips.

Her eyes, filled with tenderness, slowly closed, and she greedily felt with her husband, feeling the slightly chilly autumn breeze between heaven and earth, feeling the bustling noise in her ears, and feeling the throbbing in the deepest part of her soul.

Strands of spiritual consciousness cling and intertwine gently, yet remain passionate.

The two of them embraced each other, and the autumn wind blew their black hair flying.

Zhao Qing heard a warm and dense whisper: "Death and life are inseparable."

He smiled and held his wife's delicate wrist tightly, saying softly, "Let's talk about it."
