In this world, sometimes ghosts are warmer than humans.

It is clearly a cold ghost body without any temperature or blood, but sometimes it can make people feel as warm as a spring day.

Zhou Qing reached out, patted An Lang's head, and said softly:

"Just practice the Longevity-Eating Ghost and don't worry about the Fate-Defying Pill."

"No, I want to make the Fate-Defying Pill."

An Lang refused in a low voice, "How can I eat up the young master's life?"

“You have to eat.”

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I just lied to you. I didn't encounter any difficulties. On the contrary, I encountered good things."

"Young Master, you are the one who is lying now." An Lang said, "How can you expect to have a good thing? Instead, I am allowed to absorb your lifespan. How can this be a good thing if your lifespan is gone?"

"Sir, you must be saying this because you don't want me to worry or have any psychological burden."

"I want to make the Fate-Defying Pill!"

“…”

You've made up your mind, right?

"I'm serious, you're helping me by practicing the Shoushou Ghost."

"Believe it or not, I will refine the Fate-Defying Pill and will never touch the Longevity-Eating Ghost!"

"Although this is my first time being a ghost, I will never betray my master. Sir, please don't lie to me!"

“…”

Rebellious period, right? "I'll explain it to you after we leave Yunlong City."

"Whether you want to suck me or not, you should learn how to be a life-eating ghost first, okay?"

Zhou Qing said it another way, "You've learned it anyway. If I don't want you to, you can't suck my lifespan away."

The Ghost Lord holds an absolute dominant position. Even if the Ghost Tamer has learned this evil Taoist technique, it is impossible for him to secretly absorb the Ghost Lord's lifespan without being discovered.

The Ghost Control can only do this if the Ghost Master allows it and the Ghost Control voluntarily lets the Ghost Control suck its energy.

An Lang floated in front of Zhou Qing, and was very curious why Zhou Qing was so obsessed with this ghost magic.

"Do you understand?"

"Understood."

"Then go to sleep."

Zhou Qing sent An Lang to the ghost residence. This was one of the few opportunities for An Lang to sleep when he was out on business.

If he were still in Heiyun Town, An Lang would have a lot of things to do and would have no time to sleep.

After putting away the ghost house, Zhou Qing shook his head. He really didn't understand my good intentions.

Objectively speaking, An Lang can be said to be the person around Zhou Qing who is least likely to betray him, and he and Zhou Qing truly share life and death together.

So apart from the matter of the golden finger, Zhou Qing rarely hid other things from An Lang.

For some things with Lu Qingmo and the others, one still needs to find reasons, but when facing An Lang, there is no need to find reasons at all.

It was totally fine for Zhou Qing to behave a little weird and strange in front of her.

The ghost-controlling technique plus the sworn item dropped by Brother Shu provide double protection, so there is absolutely no possibility that An Lang will betray.

Even if An Lang was caught, others would not be able to obtain any information about Zhou Qing if they searched her soul.

In this world, ghost riders are the most trustworthy partners, and this is not just talk.

Of course, when doing very few things, Zhou Qing would also block An Lang's perception so that she could not observe.

Next, Zhou Qing concentrated on comprehending various forbidden techniques, but what he didn't expect was that the Dragon Girl never showed up.

It was not until the bright moon rose and the light shone that Ao Xuanwei's footsteps were heard outside the quiet room.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The Dragon Girl walked in, handed the Spirit Awakening and Soul Nourishing Method to Zhou Qing, and then handed him a space bag.

"What is this?" Zhou Qing wondered.

"I asked my subordinates to bring this thing from the Dragon Palace." The Dragon Girl explained:

"There is a special thing inside, called Hebao Liquid."

"The Hebao Liquid can be used when reforging weapons, and the effect is extraordinary."

"It can make weapons and new materials perfectly compatible, greatly reducing the difficulty of casting weapons. At the same time, it can also make all materials more perfectly integrated without conflict, and cast stronger weapons."

"Your sword is still a Wubing. With this material, and by collecting a few Yuanwubing materials and finding a forging master, you can forge it into a Yuanwubing."

Yuanwubing is a weapon used by strong people in the Xisui realm, and it is far more powerful than Wubing.

But it does not mean that warriors below the stage of marrow cleansing cannot use such weapons. As long as there is true energy in the body, their power can be maximized.

Therefore, it is actually also suitable for warriors who practice bone refining. Even if it is an internal organ warrior, holding a Yuanwu weapon, the power that can be exerted is naturally greater than that of a Wu weapon.

But Yuanwu weapons are precious, and most bone-refining warriors in the world cannot afford them.

For example, Zhou Qing, under normal circumstances, when he reaches the Bone Refining Realm, he will definitely use the Wubing-level [Taibai].

Unless someone comes to give him some warmth.

However, this is unlikely. In the current Black Cloud Town, there should be no internal organ or bone refining warrior who possesses a Yuanwu weapon.

Well, except for that guy.

The best quality weapons are actually sufficient for bone-refining warriors.

Looking at the space bag handed over by the Dragon Girl, Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and understood why the Dragon Girl had not shown up until this moment.

"You are really trying to let me take advantage of you."

Although the Dragon Girl did not directly give him the Yuanwu Soldier, nor did she give him a treasure of this level, a bottle of Hebao Liquid almost cleared the bottleneck for Taibai to be promoted to the Yuanwu Soldier.

The Dragon Girl knew the limits very well, and the gifts she gave were neither too much nor too little.

If it was less, it would seem like he was just teasing Zhou Qing.

Ao Xuanwei blinked, "I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

With a helpless smile, Zhou Qing took the space bag.

Damn it, I'm about to be conquered by the sugar-coated bullets of the rich dragon lady! "It's getting late, why don't you stay here for dinner?" The dragon lady said: "I have been meditating on Taoism all day, and I have neglected you. You have to give me a chance to make up for it."

What else can Zhou Qing do?

Of course I agreed.

The banquet prepared by the Dragon Girl was very sumptuous. All the food was not ordinary but full of inspiration.

In addition, there are also alcoholic beverages, which can also be called spiritual wine.

For those low-level casual cultivators, such a meal is unimaginable.

The same is true for Zhou Qing.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

When he sat down and saw everything on the table, the first thought that came to his mind was.

Damn class enemies.

"This is Nine Phoenix Soup, one of my father's favorite foods."

"This is the Jade Spiritual Emperor Bamboo Shoot. It can grow in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. Only the freshest and tenderest part of the bamboo shoot is picked when the first drop of dew has just condensed. The rest is discarded."

"And this is a twelve-colored chicken. It is fed with medicinal pills and then bathed in medicinal herbs. It takes eighteen years to cultivate it. Only then can you get a twelve-colored chicken with the best taste and meat quality."

"this……"

The dragon girl enthusiastically introduced each dish to Zhou Qing. She was not showing off, but just introducing them normally to share with Zhou Qing.

Because in her opinion, eating these things... is normal.

This is how she eats everyday, so what is there to brag about? Only when you get something that you think is very rare will you want to show off.

Zhou Qing nodded silently. Yes, very advanced, I have never heard of it before.

People who don’t come into contact with and understand such dishes will never know the cost and value of cultivating them.

This is not eating, this is eating money and treasures.

The dragon clan is indeed extravagant. I have learned a lot.

Damn it, this is a naked "money" offensive! "This is Red Flame Wine, which is extremely beneficial for martial arts practice and can temper the body and true energy."

Whether it is wine or food, they are all beneficial to spiritual practice, and one should never eat ordinary food.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that, just based on the food, how can the low-level casual cultivators catch up with the disciples of the world's great sects? Of course, not every disciple of a great sect has the same treatment as the Dragon Girl, but what they eat on a daily basis is at least not ordinary food.

What a person eats determines his future achievements to a certain extent.

They eat spiritual plants and elixirs, precious foods and spiritual wine every day. Look at what you eat. How can you catch up with them?

Do you think you can just sit back and wait? Unless you have a chance to defy fate, amazing fortune, or extremely good luck, a casual cultivator can only be a casual cultivator.

Just like Zhou Qing's previous life, for most people, studying is the only way out, but if you don't have any good fortune, then this way out will still not be able to withstand reality in the end.

A casual cultivator is an ordinary scholar who can achieve something and can be said to have changed his own destiny, but in the end it is difficult to defy fate.

But it is undeniable that it is definitely useful whether you are a casual practitioner or a scholar.

At least it can make your life better.

Anyone who tells you that cultivation is useless and studying is useless is either stupid or bad. Don't believe him.

Cultivation allows you to break through the hierarchy of secular dynasties, but it also establishes another ladder to heaven that is more rigorous and more difficult to shake.

What else can Zhou Qing say about this?

Let’s eat, and eat the rich ones!

After eating and drinking, Zhou Qing felt a little tipsy.

A clam spirit came in to clean up the place, making it clean again.

The dragon girl with a slightly red cheek looked at Zhou Qing and suddenly asked: "After I went to the Tianhai Shenglong Ceremony last time, I realized that Zhou Qing needed the strange fire of heaven and earth. I'm afraid you practiced the earth fire seal?"

"How do you know that?"

The dragon girl smiled and said, "When the peerless Taoist technique in the hands of Lu Duguan was first created, it caused a stir in all directions. Many peerless geniuses gathered together to fight for it."

"It is no secret that the inheritance of the true meaning was finally taken away by Lu Duguan."

"It's a peerless Taoist technique. For the top sects and families, it is also the sect's Taoist technique. Naturally, it attracts a lot of attention."

"It's a pity that the inheritance of the true meaning is limited. Fortunately, there are restrictions. Otherwise, if Xuandu Temple adds another peerless Taoist technique that can be widely inherited, some people may not be able to sit still."

Zhou Qing thought about it and remembered that some of the enemies he had met who were of noble enough origin were indeed able to recognize Lu Qingmo's Taoist magic. It seemed that the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal was indeed not a secret.

However, he was not worried that others would attack him because of this Taoist magic.

The inheritance of true meaning is very special, and even if a master comes to search the soul, he cannot discover it.

"By the way, after the last Tianhai Dharma Assembly, Xu Xian didn't go back with you. Did anyone in the Dragon Palace say anything?" Zhou Qing asked.

What happens at the Dharma Assembly will inevitably be reported to Yunjiang Dragon Palace, and Zhou Qing’s false identity will also be known.

It is still very strange that the Dragon Girl clearly recruited an unparalleled genius but did not bring him back to the Dragon Palace.

Is it because you have a desire to be independent?

The dragon is not yet strong, but when it grows strong, it will change!

"I explained it to my father and there was no problem. No one else said anything either." The Dragon Girl paused and said:

"My father asked me if I had any plans to find a son-in-law."

Recruiting a son-in-law?

Zhou Qing suddenly came to his senses. What did the Dragon Girl mean by this? Was she hinting at me? No, I couldn't think too much about it.

It would be bad if I was labeled as a common man.
