[Cultivation: Qi training level 7, 1303/4000]

[Skills: Fourth-level Alchemist]

[Spiritual roots: Fire-type middle-grade spiritual roots (777/1000), Ice-type middle-grade spiritual roots (789/1000)]

[Available training points: 49]

Qin Gengyun was lying on the bed, looking at the illusory words in front of him. Qiu Zhihe seemed a little tired after trying a new way of practice tonight and had fallen asleep.

"Why doesn't the Alchemist have any progress value?"

In fact, after practicing last night, Qin Gengyun discovered the abnormality in the [Skills] column. He had some guesses in his mind and tried to add 1 practice point to the Alchemist.

But there was no reaction. In the attribute panel in front of him, the [Skills] column still showed [Fourth-level Alchemist], without any change.

This also confirms Qin Gengyun's guess.

[Skills] After reaching the fourth level, they can no longer be improved through dual cultivation.

This is just like the restrictions on pill recipes imposed by the three major sects. Pill recipes of the third grade and below can be circulated freely, but once the fourth grade recipe is involved, independent cultivators are no longer qualified to access it.

It seems that his golden finger is also subject to certain rules of this world.

After the [Skill] reaches the fourth level, it is necessary to use other methods to improve it.

Is it through self-training and improvement through proficiency?

Or, like the fourth-grade pill recipe, does one have to enter a large sect, obtain a high-level alchemy secret manual, or become a disciple of a high-level alchemist?

Also, can I learn other skills, such as being a spiritual plant master and a formation master like my wife?

Qin Gengyun had no idea for the moment, but he was not in a hurry to improve his alchemy skills. The first thing he should do was to find a way to obtain the recipe for the "Bingxin Rejuvenating Pill".

First build the foundation, improve your strength, and then see if you can reach a higher level.

Qin Gengyun turned his head to look at the sleeping Qiu Zhihe. Her round little face was soft and smooth, and her cherry lips were slightly pouting, making her look extremely cute.

A smile appeared on Qin Gengyun's face, and he gently hugged the soft body. Qiu Zhihe hummed in a daze, moved her body slightly, and got into his arms.

Looking at the lovely girl in his arms, Qin Gengyun's heart was filled with tenderness and his eyes became more determined.

I must live on. I want to be with my wife forever!

…

The next day.

When Qin Gengyun woke up, Qiu Zhihe was no longer in bed. He put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Qiu Zhihe was just coming out of the kitchen with breakfast. Qin Gengyun walked up to her and asked in a low voice:

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?"

Qiu Zhihe blushed slightly and glared at him: "Go and call Susu to eat!"

Qin Gengyun didn't dare tease his wife anymore. He agreed, walked to the alchemy room, knocked on the door, and shouted:

"Susu, if you don't get up, I'll finish all the buns!"

"Fuck! Qin, leave me two!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the alchemy room opened. She rushed out with her tasseled hairpins in disarray and her clothes in disarray. When she saw Qin Gengyun looking at her with a smile, she realized that she had been fooled.

"Mr. Qin, you lied to me! Ahhh, I was just eating dragon meat in my dream!"

"Have a meal."

Qiu Zhihe said lightly, and Liusu didn't dare to make any more noise. She smoothed her messy hair, sat down carelessly, holding a big bun in one hand, and began to eat it with a grunt.

Qin Gengyun and Liusu were quarreling and arguing at the table from time to time, but Qiu Zhihe was unusually quiet, as if she was worried about something and she didn't even finish the small bowl of porridge in front of her.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Gengyun asked with concern.

Qiu Zhihe shook her head, and after the two finished eating, she urged them to go practice, and she went into the kitchen with the dishes.

"What's wrong, miss?"

Liusu was puzzled, and then stared at Qin Gengyun:

"Did you make the young lady angry again?"

Qin Gengyun also looked puzzled: "No, he was fine last night."

"Tsk!" Liusu didn't believe it. Qiu Zhihe's cold voice came from the kitchen:

"You're not going to practice yet?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The two of them quickly agreed and obediently entered the alchemy room.

Three hours later, Liusu stretched herself and said, "Oh, I can't do it anymore. Uncle, please continue. I'll take a break first!"

After saying that, he left the alchemy room, quietly opened the bedroom door and walked in.

I saw Qiu Zhihe sitting on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, but she was not practicing as usual. She was staring blankly with her head down.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Except for the time when Senior Sister Hongtang died, this was the first time Liusu saw the Saint like this. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

Qiu Zhihe raised her head, with sadness in her clear eyes.

"The recipe for the elixir he wants is in Master's collection."

Liusu was startled and raised her hand to cover her mouth: "So the Sect Master really left behind a treasure?"

Qiu Zhihe nodded: "Not in Tianlu Mountain, but in the deepest part of the Northern Wasteland."

The Qinglian Sect's relics in Tianlu Mountain were just a trap to lure the three major sects to their deaths. Only Qiu Zhihe knew the true relics of the sect's leader.

The Holy Lord of Qinglian Sect was originally an alchemist. Naturally, her collection contained countless high-quality elixir recipes, including the recipe for "Ice Heart Rejuvenating Pill".

Liusu thought about it for a moment and immediately understood why Qiu Zhihe was worried.

"Miss, you want to take him to the Sect Master's hidden treasure to get the recipe, but you are worried that he will know your identity?"

Qiu Zhihe nodded gently: "My cultivation has not yet recovered, so I can't separate from him."

Liusu groaned in her heart, Saint, I'm afraid you don't want to be separated from that guy just because you want to recover your cultivation, right?

But she didn't dare to expose it, after all, the saint spanked her quite hard.

Liusu squatted in front of Qiu Zhihe, holding her chin with both hands, her dark eyes rolled around, and suddenly she slapped her thigh:

“Got it!”

Qiu Zhihe looked at her, and Liusu smiled:

"Why don't we find a way to let the son-in-law find it himself?"

…

late at night.

After the thirteenth time and three hundred breaths.

In the bedroom.

Qin Gengyun, who was extremely tired, had fallen asleep.

Even with his physique at the seventh level of Qi training, he was sleeping very soundly at the moment. Even when the person next to him got out of bed, grew taller from petite, put on a red dress, and walked out of the window, Qin Gengyun did not notice at all.

Xia Qinglian stood on the roof, pondered for a moment, and then her figure flashed and disappeared suddenly.

Yihong Tower.

It was night outside, but the brothel was still full of lights and wine.

"Meng Yu, the guest in room 10 wants the Golden Pillar Pill, hurry up!"

Meng Yu had just delivered drinks and snacks to a private room when he was called by the brothel owner to go to the storeroom to get the Golden Pillar Pill.

This kind of elixir is not beneficial to spiritual practice. It can only bring people temporary pleasure and lead to further depravity.

"A bunch of beasts!"

Meng Yu had just witnessed how those male cultivators in a private room were being unrestrained and spending spirit stones like dirt. He muttered in frustration and was suddenly startled when a tall figure he had not seen for a long time appeared in front of him.

The one with red hair and red clothes is none other than the goddess who hasn't summoned him for a long time!

"Wuwuwu, Lady Goddess, I thought you had forgotten me! Wuwuwu!"

Meng Yu knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xia Qinglian raised her hand slightly, and a stream of spiritual power shot into Meng Yu's body, slightly alleviating the toxicity of the Heart-Eating Pill in his body. Then she said:

"Do something for me."

"Goddess, please give me your orders. I will do my best to obey you!"

Xia Qinglian said, "Spread the news in Yihong Tower, saying that a treasure trove of immortals has appeared in the Northern Wilderness, and among them is... a high-quality elixir recipe."
