Every time the training is intensified, the first day is the most uncomfortable. After one day, when Chen Xiao was being massaged, in addition to the soreness from the last time, the strongest feeling was numbness and swelling. In order to relieve his discomfort, Xi Yunting was more attentive this time. The heat went through his spine and directly into his body, making Chen Xiao completely unable to resist and could only suppress his screams. He just tried his best to endure it, not knowing how ambiguous and exciting the sound was. Xi Yunting's ears couldn't help but turn red with heat.

After choking, his voice was hoarse. After he finished speaking, Chen Xiao wanted to get up and open the door. He was still wearing only a pair of tight underwear. Because of the intense stimulation, Chen Xiao was sweating profusely. The wet sweat flowed along his hair, neck, collarbone, and slid down to his chest, hanging on the delicate nipples. Turning around, his back was full of scarlet marks from being rubbed. The collision of two bright colors on the chest and back made Xi Yunting feel his chest beating rapidly and his throat tightening.

He reached out and pulled Chen Xiao back, and fell on the bed. Chen Xiao was still dazed, and a sheet was covering him. He propped himself up, and Xi Yunting had stood up, with only his back facing him. He walked out of the bedroom, saying, "I'll go open the door, be careful not to catch a cold."

Although the weather has reached the transition between spring and summer, the wind in the morning and evening is still a little cold. He went out sweating and was prone to catching a cold. Chen Xiao pulled the sheets and found that he looked a little unbearable. He shrank his head in embarrassment and lay back obediently.

Xi Yunting opened the door with a stern face. Tong Nuonuo's round face was blank, and she looked so frightened that her soul had flown away. Xi Yunting frowned and said in a low and cold voice: "What's the matter?"

Tong Nuonuo was startled and glanced at Xi Yunting's well-dressed clothes. He found that everything was neat and tidy, not like he had just put them on in a hurry. His somewhat collapsed mood improved. As soon as his mind relaxed, he couldn't control his mouth: "So you are not doing that kind of thing... I was scared to death." After he finished speaking, Tong Nuonuo realized that he had said the wrong thing. It's okay to think about this kind of thing, but saying it out loud is like seeking death, right?

When Xi Yunting first heard Tong Nuonuo's words, he did not immediately understand what he meant. When Tong Nuonuo's face changed and she looked at him with annoyance and fear, he slowly realized what Tong Nuonuo really meant. At that moment, Xi Yunting could not think of anything. After a while, all kinds of emotions came up. There was annoyance, anger, embarrassment and unstoppable shock. He could not sort out his chaotic thoughts. It was natural for him to be angry and shocked when others misunderstood his relationship with Xiaodi, but why did he feel embarrassed and shocked?

He suppressed his embarrassment and fear, and only let anger control his emotions. He looked at Tong Nuonuo sternly and said, "Be careful with your words! I'm just here to give Brother Xiao a massage to relieve his fatigue."

Tong Nuonuo suddenly realized what was going on. He breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and couldn't help laughing: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. When I heard the voice just now, I thought... Haha, no wonder I misunderstood, it's really that Chen Xiao's voice is too similar." Tong Nuonuo looked up and found that Xi Yunting's face was still very bad. He quickly put away the expression on his face and put on a serious look: "This is my fault. I will be careful in what I say and do in the future. I hope you will forgive me, Brother Xi!"

Xi Yunting tried to make his expression less scary, and he nodded slowly to show forgiveness. At this time, Chen Xiao, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, shouted: "Brother, Nuonuo. What are you doing? Why don't you come in and talk?"

Xi Yunting then opened the door, and after Tong Nuonuo entered, he closed the door again. Tong Nuonuo entered the room and rushed to Chen Xiao's bedroom. He saw Chen Xiao lying with a red face, bare limbs, a sheet around his waist, and sweat all over his body. It was easy to think of something wrong when looking at him like that. Tong Nuonuo learned his lesson and just twitched the corner of his mouth, not daring to think of anything.

There was an uncovered bottle of medicinal oil on the small coffee table next to the bed, and a fragrant smell of medicine lingered in the slightly hot space. Tong Nuonuo wrinkled his nose and said, "Why is it so hot here?"

Chen Xiao said lazily: "In order to make the medicinal oil work as quickly as possible, my brother heated it up. He used the fire element, so this piece seems a little hot."

Tong Nuonuo hummed, then raised the pen in his hand: "Here you go, take a look, are you satisfied?"

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the bed. He raised his hand to take the pen, pretended to write, and felt it carefully. The pen made of rhino horn was hard and solid. It was different from the weight of wood and bamboo, which required re-adaptation, but the surface was warm to the touch and had a good texture.

Chen Xiao said happily, "Yes, this rhino horn pen holder is surprisingly non-slip. No matter how long I write, I won't feel any pain when I touch it." He looked at it carefully again, frowned, and said, "I'm just afraid that after a long time, the color of the place where I hold it will darken due to sweat absorption."

Tong Nuonuo said confidently: "That won't happen. The texture of the black gold rhino horn is fine and tight. After all, it comes from a fierce beast, so sweat won't easily penetrate it. What's more, I have treated the outer layer. It is not only waterproof and fireproof, but also can isolate it from external invasion, so as to prevent the outer layer of the rhino horn from becoming brittle over time. You can rest assured that it will be used for hundreds of years without any problem."

Chen Xiao laughed dryly. Hundreds of years was too long. He expected that the pen holder would last for decades without breaking, which would save him a lot of trouble. At worst, he could make a new one with better materials. He still underestimated the methods of the immortals in this world who didn't reason with mortals. He didn't expect that the pen holder made by Tong Nuonuo, a mechanical master, would be so durable.

Chen Xiao thanked Tong Nonuo, and Tong Nonuo said, "We are all friends, don't be so polite." For Tong Nonuo, this was just a piece of cake and she was happy to do it for Chen Xiao.

After being attacked, Chen Xiao once told him that he would find a way to get him more mineral essence. He really kept his promise. After returning from Changjia Village, he sent him a large basket of mineral essence. Tong Nuonuo was so surprised that he almost fainted. At the beginning, Tong Nuonuo's master kicked him out of the mountain gate and let him train alone, telling him that only by traveling outside can he really gain something. At that time, he didn't believe it at all. He just thought that his master didn't want him to stay in the sect and compete with him for materials. Facts have proved that he blamed his master wrongly. Not only did he have a wonderful adventure, he also gained a lot of high-quality materials and had more new ideas. The most important thing is that he finally made a good friend like Chen Xiao.

Immortality cultivation is not about staying indoors or being self-sufficient. It is more about the law, friends, wealth and place, all of which are indispensable. The law refers to the method. Although his master is a casual cultivator, the method he taught him is the most suitable for him; the friend is a friend with the same aspirations. As the saying goes, a good teacher is a good friend, and a good friend is more useful than half a master; wealth is what Tong Nuonuo has the most personal experience with. Without money, there is no material; and the place refers to the cave and the mountain gate. If he can have a mountain gate with abundant spiritual energy and rich resources, he won't have to compete with his master for materials.

In the past, his only advantage was his Dharma. After meeting Chen Xiao, he not only had a partner, but also an endless supply of money. Therefore, in his heart, Chen Xiao's status was only slightly lower than that of his master.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was satisfied with his results, Tong Nuonuo wanted to continue to tell him about the benefits of the black gold rhino horn material and what mechanisms it could be applied to. However, just as he was about to sit down next to Chen Xiao's bed, Xi Yunting came over to stop him and said softly, "Brother Xiao has to get up early for training tomorrow. If you can't finish the massage today, I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

Tong Nuonuo had no choice but to retract his right foot that had stepped on the footstool in front of the bed. He said, "Okay. You take a good rest, I'll go back first. If you have anything else to do, you can come to me."

Chen Xiao didn't notice anything unusual, and happily waved to Tong Nuonuo to send him off. When Xi Yunting came back after closing the door, he had already turned over and continued to lie on his stomach. The aura in the air told him that Xi Yunting had come behind him. He put his head on the pillow and said, "Brother, let's continue."

Xi Yunting didn't say anything. He reapplied the medicinal oil on his hands and rubbed Chen Xiao's body. The force was much stronger than before, and Chen Xiao screamed immediately. Xi Yunting said in a deep voice: "Rubbing slowly will delay Xiao's rest time. It's better to let the medicinal power penetrate into the muscles as soon as possible."

This way, Chen Xiao would no longer make the kind of lingering sounds that made his ears hot, and people who came over and accidentally heard it would no longer misunderstand that something unclean was happening between the two of them. Xi Yunting had no expression on his face, but he felt a little regretful and lost in his heart. He suppressed this unusual feeling and readjusted his attitude and position. Chen Xiao was his only friend so far, nothing more, there could be no others.

After the day was over, Chen Xiao fell asleep with tears in his eyes, and he didn't even know when Xi Yunting left. But he woke up the next day feeling refreshed, and his body felt light and comfortable. He put Xi Yunting's changes behind him and looked forward to today's training. Seeing that he could bear it on the first day, Xi Yunting's training volume gradually increased every day until he could bear it. Chen Xiao was so tired that he didn't have any extra energy to think about anything every day. Even the pen tips were made at the pen shop, and Xi Yunting got the news and went there with the pen holders, and asked the master to install them and bring them back to him.

After more than two months, his body was completely stimulated to the peak state of the Qi Refining Stage. Chen Xiao felt that when he practiced every day, he could not only spare half a day every day, but also draw a lightning-inducing talisman without vitality. His body movements were already quite good, and the only thing he lacked was combat experience. Xi Yunting had nothing to teach him at this stage, so he caught Chen Xiao every day to simulate combat with him.

On this day, the two were practicing martial arts, Xi Yunting was a sparring partner, fighting with Chen Xiao. Han, the chief steward, hurried over, Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao stopped fighting, and opened the door to let him in. Han, the chief steward, had a happy face, and he couldn't hide his joy when he spoke. He said to Chen Xiao repeatedly: "Master Chen, great news, great news! The city lord invites you two to come over and talk, there is great news to tell you in person!"

Chen Xiao's expression changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He didn't need anyone to tell him, he could guess what could have caused such great joy in the City Lord's Mansion, it was undoubtedly the good news about Han Yuanzhi's wife.
