"Azhuo, are you out of confinement?"
Gong Zhuo had just stepped into the shop when Jiang Qingruo came out to greet him, holding the candy bonsai full of lotus flowers in her hand.
"I just got out of quarantine and heard you were all here, so I came to see you."
Gong Zhuo looked down and saw the bonsai, and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't think too much about it when I was carving the mold. Later, I thought that Lao Xie probably wouldn't use so many similar ones. I didn't expect him to be able to do it this way."
For the first time, he discovered that Old Xie was also good at making these fancy things.
"He said it was a token of your kindness and he didn't want to let it down, so he made a copy for me."
"Old Xie still understands me." Gong Zhuo said with a smile, "If you hadn't been by my side at the time, I wouldn't have carved so many lotus and bamboo."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingruo moved a little closer, and her warm breath fell on Gong Zhuo's ear.
"So these are all carved by you thinking of me?"
Gong Zhuo felt that this question was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it, so he just nodded and said yes truthfully.
Jiang Qingruo's temperament is one of elegance. When Gong Zhuo saw him, he thought of many bamboos and lotus flowers, and carved them unconsciously, which was no different from what he carved while thinking of him.
But for some reason, when Gong Zhuo saw Jiang Qingruo looking at him, he felt a familiar burning sensation.
What's going on? Is he going to be burned again?
He uncomfortably distanced himself from Jiang Qingruo, then took out a large stack of alchemy books from his storage ring.
"After I broke through the Jindan stage, the restrictions my mother had set for me were lifted, and I discovered that she had left many things for me."
"These books on alchemy are of no use to me, and I don't know which ones you have read, so I brought them all here."
"Take a look. If there's anything you want to see, just take it."
Jiang Qingruo was curious: "Is your mother also an alchemist?"
Gong Zhuo nodded: "I just found out too. My mother was in poor health before, and I never saw her making pills."
I have never seen her refine weapons. My mother couldn't use her spiritual power, so she taught me verbally and at most demonstrated the techniques.
Jiang Qingruo flipped through the books and said, "In that case, you can try to learn some."
He has discovered that Gong Zhuo is a descendant of the Phoenix clan. Apart from the naturally generated strange fires outside, is there any other fire more suitable for refining pills than the true fire of the Phoenix?
Absolutely not.
Even strange fire may not be suitable for alchemy, but the Phoenix True Fire is different. In addition to restraining evil spirits, it can also improve the efficacy of the elixir.
Gong Zhuo quickly refused: "I won't learn it. I feel overwhelmed by the names of so many herbs. How can I remember them all?"
A stingy person like him only remembers those spiritual plants that can be sold at a high price and will not cause trouble for himself. Don't expect him to remember the others.
If he had that much time, couldn't he just refine weapons? Or practice swordsmanship? Why make things so difficult for himself?
Jiang Qingruo naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him. Seeing that he really didn't want to learn, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he carefully flipped through the alchemy books that Gong Zhuo handed to him, and finally found seven or eight books that he had never read before.
"I'll return these to you as soon as I finish reading them."
"It's okay. I don't understand it anyway, so I'll just give it to you." Gong Zhuo said seriously, "You gave me a set of fine robes, and let me get so many spiritual fruits before. I..."
Jiang Qingruo interrupted him: "But you also gave me a lot of magical instruments."
Gong Zhuo shook his head: "You don't need those magical instruments at all. If you take them back, they'll probably just take up space. But spiritual fruits are different. Each one of them is very useful to me."
"I finally managed to give you something useful, so please keep it."
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Jiang Qingruo no longer refused after hearing this.
Xie Fei once again confirmed that Gong Zhuo and Jiang Qingruo were not innocent either, so he tactfully stayed away from them.
He secretly sighed in his heart, fortunately the girl Yan Yan liked was far away in Yaowang Sect, otherwise wouldn’t he have no one to talk to?
Luo Shuangbai was not paying attention. The first time he saw the other person, he felt that he should stay away from him. Liu Songlan, who was close to Luo Shuangbai, was also kept at a distance by him.
Although Liu Songlan no longer plays with Luo Shuangbai, Xie Fei, after several contacts with her, feels that Liu Songlan is a bit old-fashioned. When she talks about principles, she has a lot of things to say, just like a young elder.
Xie Fei was most afraid of this kind of elder attitude, and now he didn't dare to get close to Liu Songlan.
Liu Songlan also sighed in his heart. Seeing the couples in front and behind made him feel so sad. Even if he was biting candy in his mouth, he still felt bitter.
Why is he called Liu Songlan? He was deceived and used by the object of his affection. His name should be Liu Huanglian.
Lu Baobao, who was passing by him, looked at the candy in his hand curiously: "Brother Liu, is this candy bitter? What does bitter taste like?"
"What?" Liu Songlan was stunned and didn't react.
"Brother Liu, didn't you read the explanation above? This is bitter melon candy in your hand. Brother Xie chose it to represent the meaning of "after suffering comes sweetness", saying that you have to eat until the end before you can taste the sweetness."
"When I still had a sense of taste, I had never tasted anything bitter. I'm curious about what bitter tastes like. Can Senior Brother Liu tell me?"
“…” Liu Songlan couldn’t say anything and didn’t want to talk.
He asked why his mouth felt so bitter, and it turned out that he was eating bitter melon candy!
He was absent-minded when he was picking the candy just now, and didn't pay attention to the small words on the side. He just saw the emerald green candy and thought it looked good, so he bought it.
Who would have thought that someone would make candy taste like hollow bitter melon?
And it was in the shape of bitter melon slices. Liu Songlan didn't react at first and thought it was a piece of jade flower!
Seeing Liu Songlan's face that was about to wrinkle into a bitter melon at any moment, Lei Feifei quickly pulled Lu Baobao away.
