"Madam, is this where you buy your daily spiritual meat?"
Qin Gengyun saw the brand new butcher shop from afar and said curiously:
"How come I've never seen it before? Did it just open recently?"
As he was speaking, he saw a lot of people gathered at the door of the butcher shop, seemingly discussing something enthusiastically.
Qiu Zhihe's eyes flashed, and she took the initiative to hold Qin Gengyun's hand: "Husband, there are many people over there, please accompany me."
"well!"
It was rare for Qin Gengyun to see Qiu Zhihe's tender side, so he immediately agreed and followed his wife to the butcher's shop. He heard a vendor in the shop butchering the meat while talking to the customer with a beaming face:
"How could it be false? My third uncle's friend is in the outer sect of Zhenyang Sect. He heard from his master himself that a treasure that was suspected to be left by an immortal was recently discovered in the Northern Wilderness. It contains natural treasures, magic weapons, techniques, elixirs, and magical medicines. Everything you need!"
"If you can get one of them, it will be a great fortune!"
He spoke with great confidence, and the two butchers beside him echoed him:
"My sixth aunt's daughter-in-law is in Feiyun Sect. She has also heard that the treasure left by the immortal should be on the south side of Tianlu Mountain in Beihuang. It is said that Feiyun Sect will also send disciples to explore it."
"Not only the Feiyun Sect, my seventh uncle's third aunt's son is in the Leijian Sect, he has also heard about the immortal treasure!"
The three of them spoke with great conviction and in high voices, attracting many monks who came to buy vegetables and started discussing:
"The three major sects just suffered a great loss at Tianlu Mountain. Do they still dare to send people there?"
"Zhenyang Sect and Leijian Sect fell into the trap of the Demon Sect. This is the treasure of the ascended immortals. It can't be as dangerous and cunning as the Demon Sect!"
"I don't know how many treasure-hunting teams are going to go there. It's a pity that low-level cultivators like me don't have the strength to try our luck!"
Qin Gengyun was stunned. He didn't have any unrealistic hopes for immortal treasures, but the phrase "elixir formula and elixir" really hit his heart.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing his wife's gentle call, Qin Gengyun came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Nothing, ma'am, let's go buy some groceries first."
Soon, the couple bought the vegetables and walked towards the narrow rain alley.
Qin Gengyun was frowning and thinking all the way, while Qiu Zhihe stayed beside him quietly, with a smile quietly appearing at the corner of her mouth.
The two returned home, Qiu Zhihe went to cook, and Qin Gengyun went to practice in the alchemy room.
At 5 p.m., Liusu came back humming a song and shouted as soon as she entered the room:
"Miss, uncle, I'm back! I heard some great news today!"
At this time, Qiu Zhihe and Qin Gengyun were sitting in the outer room to rest. Hearing Liusu's words, Qin Gengyun smiled and said:
"Susu has become more lively after going out. Did she hear something important?"
Qiu Zhihe looked at Liusu, and the two exchanged glances. Liusu walked to the table and sat down. She poured a glass of water and drank it all. She wiped her mouth and said:
"Today, many sisters from Yihonglou came. I heard from them that a female immortal's mansion was discovered in the Northern Wilderness. There are so many good things in it, such as flying swords, exercises, high-quality yellow jade dragons, pill recipes, etc. If you get any of them, you can become a great cultivator!"
Liusu spoke without restraint and even mentioned "Huang Yulong". Qiu Zhihe glared at her and looked at Qin Gengyun.
Fortunately, Qin Gengyun did not pay attention to anything else. He was thinking with his head down at the moment, and was obviously moved by the "elixir recipe" in the immortal's mansion.
The two girls looked at each other, Qiu Zhihe stood up and walked into the kitchen, bringing out the prepared food:
"Have a meal."
The three of them had dinner and rested for a while. Qin Gengyun and Liusu went to practice and did not return to the bedroom until midnight.
But there was no smile on Qin Gengyun's face, and it was obvious that he was worried.
Qiu Zhihe was not in a hurry either. She sat cross-legged on the bed calmly, waiting for Qin Gengyun to speak.
Yihonglou and the vegetable market are the places where news spreads the fastest.
Qiu Zhihe asked Meng Yu and three ghost cultivators to spread the news that "there is a high-quality elixir recipe in the immortal's palace" in these two places, and then took Qin Gengyun to the vegetable market, deliberately letting him hear it.
On the other hand, Liusu used the excuse of attending the wedding of the sisters at Yihonglou and "accidentally" brought back the same news.
In this way, Qin Gengyun would notice the news without leaving any trace. Now, he just had to ask, and Qiu Zhihe would accompany him to the Northern Wilderness. Then, they could act according to circumstances and pretend to have accidentally discovered the Qinglian Sect's relics, and then "accidentally" discovered the recipe for the Bingxin Rejuvenating Pill among them.
This way, she could hand over the recipe to Qin Gengyun without exposing her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Qinglian Sect.
This plan is perfect.
Qiu Zhihe closed her eyes, but she didn't hear Qin Gengyun speak for a long time, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Ma'am, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Finally, Qin Gengyun spoke. Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes and looked at him calmly, but her heartbeat quickened slightly.
Qin Gengyun continued, "I always feel that the rumors about the Northern Wilderness Immortal's treasure are a bit strange."
"What's so strange?" Qiu Zhihe's heart skipped a beat and he asked subconsciously.
Qin Gengyun was stunned. Normally his wife was very calm about these things, so why was she so anxious now?
Qiu Zhihe suddenly felt that he had lost his composure, and his face regained its calmness. He said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Qin Gengyun then continued: "I just feel that although this may not be true, I don't have much time left, so I still want to go to the Northern Wasteland to try my luck, but..."
He held Qiu Zhihe's hand and said softly:
"You have just settled down in Yunling Town. If you don't want to go to the Northern Wasteland..."
"I'll go with you!" Qiu Zhihe said immediately.
Qin Gengyun was stunned and looked at her blankly.
"My wife..."
In the past, the lady was always cold and indifferent. Even if she agreed to accompany him to the Northern Wilderness, she would just say "hmm" at most. But today she was so impatient. Qin Gengyun was moved but also felt confused.
Qiu Zhihe had been waiting for him to say "I want to go to the Northern Wilderness" for a long time, so she couldn't help but blurt it out.
Seeing Qin Gengyun's strange expression, she knew that she had spoken out of turn again.
Don't let it slip, you need to divert his attention.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly stood up and walked to the window, raised her hand to extinguish the candle, turned around and said:
“It’s time to practice.”
Qin Gengyun opened his mouth wide: "Madam, didn't you say last night that this was the only time?"
"If you talk any more, you'll sleep outside tonight!"
"My wife, I was wrong. I am here for you!"
…
Another twelve times and three hundred breaths later.
Qiu Zhihe walked out of the bedroom with a slight blush on her round little face.
It wasn't all due to his practice, but more because he had perfectly solved the problem with the pill recipe, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Miss, did it work?"
Liusu was dozing off on the table. When she saw Qiu Zhihe come out, she hurried forward and asked in a low voice.
Qiu Zhihe nodded and looked at her: "Have you been waiting outside?"
Liusu yawned: "After all, he is my brother-in-law, so of course I care about him. I'm just curious..."
She chuckled, took Qiu Zhihe's arm and said, "Saint, when have you ever been so considerate and humble to do these things for a man? It's not like you."
Qiu Zhihe said coldly: "I am only borrowing him to restore his cultivation. If he wants to enter the master's treasure, he must first build a foundation. If he fails to do so, it will be his own death!"
There are restrictions in the real relics of the Qinglian Sect's leader, and only those with foundation building level or above can enter.
Liu Su said with a smile: "Even if he can't reach the foundation building stage, Saint, you will do everything you can to help him achieve it, right?"
"It's time to go to bed."
Qiu Zhihe snorted coldly, walked back to the bedroom and closed the door.
Liusu propped up her chin, shook her head and sighed: "Alas, the harder your mouth is, the softer your heart is."
